Sign-in space: I grew rich in ancient times

Chapter 69

Chen Boyan nodded, relieved, he, Tang Yaoling, and his little niece did not work in vain, and Zheng Hong's money was not in vain, and everyone was very happy with the expected return.

Afterwards, Zheng Hong bought some snacks for Chen Huiyin, Tang Yaoling and Chen Yuming, and everyone went back to the restaurant. After sitting for a while, Chen Boyu got up to say goodbye, took his family to pick up the ox cart, and went out of the city to return to the restaurant. Family.

In the blink of an eye, it entered February, and Gu Xinfang came to Chen's house at the beginning of February with the account books for December and January.

Chen Boyu took the account book and went to the study, Chen Huiyin took Gu Xinfang to his boudoir, went to the kitchen to make scented tea, and greeted Gu Xinfang with a small cake.

Gu Xinfang looked at this pastry, which was different from the ones he had seen before, took a sip curiously, and then his eyes lit up: "What kind of pastry is this? It came out to be strawberry jam, but what is this white thing, it tastes really fragrant, smooth and sweet."

Chen Huiyin explained with a smile: "This white one is called cream, which is extracted from goat's milk and then processed. It is a perfect match for this kind of cake."

Gu Xinfang looked at the fluffy light yellow cake again, and sighed: "Is this cake called a cake? Is it made of eggs and flour? How do you make this kind of cake that tastes soft but is charcoal-baked?" Fragrant cake?"

Chen Huiyin said solemnly: "Actually, if you don't come, I plan to write to invite you to come with the cook.

Isn't it after winter, there is nothing to do at home, A Niang made this cake.

On the basis of the cake, I created more tricks. I thought that this fragrant and sweet dessert will definitely be liked by ladies, and it is almost time for a new product in Leisure Pavilion. "

After hearing what Chen Huiyin said, Gu Xinfang stopped asking how the cake was made. She thought of the main purpose of her visit this time, and subconsciously lowered her voice: "Sister Qiao, I came here this time and brought Great news for Shangdu.

Princess Yongkang, who had been missing for a year, was found by the royal family, and within a few days of taking her back to the palace, she was established as the empress dowager. However, the official canonization ceremony requires the eunuch to select an auspicious day, and then Zongzheng Temple and the Ministry of Rites will organize it , so it is not yet known which day the canonization ceremony will be held. "

"Why did Princess Yongkang disappear, and why is Princess Yongkang conferred the title of Empress Dowager today? He has no other children?" Although Chen Huiyin knew who is today, the situation in the court and the world, she didn't know about the situation of today's children. So when I heard the news, I was really stunned.

Gu Xinfang didn't find it strange about Chen Huiyin's question. It's normal for common people not to know about the royal affairs.

But for Gu Xinfang, the younger sister of the Chen family doesn't know everything. Her focus is only on other things, so she patiently explained: "There is only Princess Yongkang as a child today. As for why, what is the reason? It started when he was still the king of Chu.

It was half a year after the current elder brother Huaiwen Emperor succeeded to the throne, and after Huaiwen Emperor's father Shun'an Emperor became seriously ill, the prince Huaiwen Emperor recalled all the ex-Ban brothers to Shangdu to serve the illness before Shun'an Emperor's sick bed, and Shun'an Emperor boiled After two months, it finally collapsed.

When Emperor Shun'an was buried in the imperial mausoleum, the kings of the Fans were supposed to return to their fiefdoms. Emperor Huaiwen kept the kings of the Fans in Shangdu because of their brotherhood. Inside, four of the princes who stayed in Shangdu died one after another.

The only two surviving princes, one is the king of Chu who was not very bright due to a serious illness when he was young, and the other is the one who was implicated by his mother and concubine when he was young, and was demoted to the frontier barracks to practice. King Wu, who relied heavily on him, was the one who held the military power in his hands among all the princes.

Although all the military power in Fan's hands was later taken back by Emperor Shun'an, he had a good personal relationship with several generals in the court.

It is said that King Wu rebelled against Emperor Huaiwen at the Shangyuan Festival banquet. At that time, King Wu's sword was already approaching Emperor Huaiwen. The sword was poisoned, and the King of Chu was almost unable to save him. In the end, he used the method of attacking the poison with strong poison to save his life, but because of this, his descendants' inheritance was broken.

The news of King Chu's distress caused Princess Chu, who was pregnant for more than nine months, to start early and gave birth to a daughter. Emperor Huaiwen was grateful for King Chu's life-saving rescue, and personally proposed the title of Yongkang to the little princess, and leapfrogged the title of princess. "

Taking advantage of Gu Xinfang's pause and drinking water, Chen Huiyin asked softly, "Is this Princess Yongkang born on the Shangyuan Festival?"

Gu Xinfang shook her head, "That's not true, she was born on the next day of the Shangyuan Festival."

After hearing this, Chen Huiyin's beating heart slowed down, and she asked again: "Princess Yongkang, oh, no, it's the empress dowager, how did she disappear?"

This Gu Xinfang understands very clearly: "It starts with the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year before last. Emperor Huaiwen summoned the three members of King Chu's family back to Shangdu in early August of the year before last to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together. However, Princess Yongkang was ill and should not be tired, so she stayed at the However, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Huaiwen would not let the King of Chu return to his fiefdom.

In the winter month, Emperor Huaiwen suddenly fell ill and died. All the sons of Emperor Huaiwen killed each other in order to fight for the throne.

Last year, on the second day of the Shangyuan Festival, the Empress Dowager took a boat from Jiangling Mansion to Shangdu. For some unknown reason, she detoured to Fengxiang Mansion, but she was assassinated in Fengxiang Mansion and her whereabouts are unknown. The crown prince may still be alive, and she did not give up looking for it. The sky paid off, and finally found the crown prince one year later. "

After hearing the words of the elder sister of the Gu family, Chen Huiyin's heart calmed down, and it started beating quickly again. Thanks to the convenience of the waterway, it took three days to get there from Jiangling Mansion to Shangdu and Fengxiang Mansion by boat, and she and her father rescued her. The date and location of Tang Yaoling's next trip are really too coincidental.

What scares Chen Huiyin the most is that when they first rescued Tang Yaoling, he was dressed as a girl, and...

Chen Huiyin didn't dare to think about it any further. She tried her best to suppress the various conjectures that popped up in her mind, and said with a smile on her face unchanged: "It is also a good thing that the queen princess returns. At least she has an heir, which can stabilize people's hearts."

Gu Xinfang nodded in agreement: "Since the founding of Daqi, there have been two empresses, and it is not uncommon for another one to emerge in the future."

Then Chen Huiyin changed the topic calmly. Gu Xinfang left after having lunch at Chen's house. The moment she closed it, the smile on her face could no longer be maintained.
