Chapter 122

Zhao Changye's words stunned Yan Shixi for a moment, then he stood up to thank him, and then declined politely with a slight smile.

Hearing that Yan Shishi had already obtained the title deed of the medicine store, Zhao Changye nodded and smiled.He took Yan Shiyi's hand and said a few words with concern, meaning that Yan Shishi should not only look at the small profits in front of him when doing business, but also have a long-term plan. As long as he listens to her, she will help her fly to the top of the branch Become a phoenix.

Zhao Changye didn't clearly specify how to turn Yan Shiyi from a sparrow into a phoenix, but thinking of what happened in Anci Palace about the medicinal material supplier of the Imperial Hospital just now, Yan Shiyi naturally understood in his heart.The princess is also considered a noble person to her, and she recognizes this kindness.After Zhao Changye finished speaking, she gave a big gift to thank Zhao Changye for his kindness.

Zhao Changye smiled, the curve of his lips was a smile from the heart.

The guests arrived one after another, eight or nine in total. There were three eldest princesses who were about the same age as Zhao Changye, and the other two eldest princesses and three princesses were all ten years older than Zhao Changye. A woman in her 40s is used to living a lazy life, and even attending a banquet at this time seems to be out of energy.

Although it is early summer, sitting outside in layered dresses, and it is noon, it is inevitable that people will feel dizzy.Zhao Changye also felt uncomfortable.They are all princesses, and they are the elders of the imperial concubine in terms of status.Let them wait how much it seems negligent.

Everyone brought presents and placed them on the long table at the entrance of the waterside pavilion. A row of golden lacquer and silver cups inlaid with orbs and boxes looked very expensive.

Everyone inquired about each other's gifts and secretly competed with each other's financial resources.Zhao Changye was used to being neglected by these royal sisters, so he didn't talk to them too much. He felt at ease with the two lovely beauties, Yan Shishi and Yilan, drinking tea and looking at the beautiful scenery of the lake.

After the lively contest of courtesy and etiquette, someone inquired about Yan Shishi's origin.Yilan was dressed in a special way, for those who love to gossip, there was no need to look at them, they knew it at a glance.

"Didn't you say that King Jiang Xia's sister is here this time?"

"Yo, you don't know yet? That girl Xue Chengjun has left the capital and returned to Jiangxia Capital."

"I heard that he rejected Dongyang Hou Shizi's marriage..."

The speaking woman turned her eyes left and right, expressive.The sister next to her who was about to pick up the conversation realized something, closed her open red lips and bit them tightly, swallowing back what she was going to say.

We all know what it means to refuse the Queen Mother's offer of marriage, so we don't need to say it, as long as we wait for the follow-up, there will be a lively crowd watching.

"Her name is Yan Shishi, and I brought her to talk with the Queen Mother."

Zhao Changye didn't need to explain Xue Chengjun's affairs to them, but simply introduced Yan Shishi.At this time, the voice of the eunuch came from afar, and Concubine Zhang Guifei had arrived.

Everyone stood up to greet him.

A gust of fragrant wind came, and the clinking of pearls and hairpins approached.

"Sisters and aunts, hurry up! I'm young, so I can't bear the big gifts from the elders."

Yan Shiyi quietly raised his eyes, and saw a slender woman with elegant and luxurious clothes walking in.

Concubine Zhang Gui was eighteen or nineteen years old, and her voice was like a mellow Yingcry.She entered the palace at the age of 13 and was raised by the prince himself. She married the prince at the age of 15 and waited to be named queen next year.

Everyone went back to their seats one by one, and Concubine Zhang indicated to open the table.The palace people came one by one with gold basins to clean everyone's hands.Then a painting boat floated in the center of the lake, and silk and bamboo string music sounded slowly.The palace people began to serve the dishes.The banquet officially begins.

It may be to match the name of the Jinfeng Yulu Banquet. The serving utensils are all golden plates and golden bowls, silver chopsticks, silver spoons and silver forks. The name of each dish has a gold or jade character. Made of dew collected from flowers and leaves in the morning.

While listening to Concubine Zhang's introduction, and watching the exquisite dishes and dim sums revealed by the palace servants lifting the golden cover, everyone couldn't help but burst into amazement and praise.

Until the end of the banquet, Zhao Changye remained paralyzed.

Yan Shishi knew what Zhao Changye was thinking.The imperial concubine had really put in a lot of thought and thought to organize this elegant, luxurious and luxurious banquet, and it was indeed not short of money.In order to build the Fuchun Garden for the emperor, Zhao Changye had to spend so much time and money carefully, she felt unbalanced.

"On the summer solstice, the emperor and I will go to Fuchun Garden to escape the summer heat, and then we will invite my sisters to go with me."

Zhang Guifei said to the princesses who were walking in front.

The princesses who were walking behind bowed their heads and said nothing. In order to avoid embarrassment, they chatted with each other and walked out of the garden.

Zhao Changye called Yan Shishi to stop, and asked her and Yilan to wait outside the Shenghua Palace, while she went in to discuss matters with Zhang Guifei.Then he caught up with Concubine Zhang Gui and took out Xiangxiangfang from the tent from his pocket.

Concubine Zhang Gui stood in the shade covered by the palace servants holding phoenix-tailed umbrellas, watching Xiang Fang carefully.

The noon sun fell on Zhao Changye's head and shoulders, and her nose and forehead were covered with sweat.She looked at Concubine Zhang's face.

"Where did you get it?"

Concubine Zhang Guifei folded the incense prescription and held it in her hand, and said to Zhao Changye with a smile.

"It's a folk prescription that I asked someone to find, and I don't know if it suits the imperial concubine's wishes."

Zhao Changye pressed the fine beads of sweat on the tip of his nose with his cuff and said.

"I don't know if I like it until I try it. I still know what the white ganoderma in this incense recipe is, but what is the antler incense? The folk incense ingredients are as rare as treasures."

Zhang Guifei looked at Zhao Changye.It made Zhao Changye feel a bit oppressed, and he faltered for a while.Sweat dripped from her forehead.She knew that although Concubine Zhang Gui was young, she was very particular about things, if she acted smart in front of her, she would be asking for trouble.

The fragrance was given to her by Yan Shishi, and she put it in her sleeve pocket after a quick glance. At this time, she could only ask Yan Shishi to explain to Concubine Zhang Guifei...

The sun was shining brightly outside the gate of Shenghua Palace, and Yilan fanned the wind with her hands.She stretched her neck and looked into the door, with one hand stretched behind her back, pulling Yan Shishi and saying:
"Sister Yan, will the princess really come out and find us?"

"Yes, don't worry."

Yan Shiyi pulled Yilan back to her side,
"Just now at the banquet, you held me back and didn't let me tell the imperial concubine that I wanted to leave here."

Yilan grabbed the thin braids on her chest and said:

"If the imperial concubine doesn't let us in, then I won't have a chance to leave the capital?"

If he couldn't leave the capital, he would never have the chance to see Commander Wu again. Thinking of this—Yilan's heart seemed to be weighed down by a heavy rock.

"Shh!"

When Yan Shiyi saw a palace official walking towards them, he rolled his eyes and smiled.

After confirming Yan Shiyi's identity, the palace servants asked her to follow her in.Yilan took Yan Shishi's hand and followed in.The palace man turned around and frowned, and was about to speak when Yan Shishi said first:
"The ingredients in the incense recipe are spices unique to Princess Yilan's hometown."

The palace maid made no further sound, and led them into the door.

The fragrance of Yan Shishi has the effect of calming the face and easing the mood.

Yilan explained Antler Fragrance very clearly, and Zhao Changye who was at the side was moved.

"I'll keep this prescription, and you guys will send it to me in three days."

Zhang Guifei said, her eyes fell on Yan Shiyi's face.

"Yan Shishi, I know you! Dongyang Hou Shizi Jing Can and Xiao Xian Wang Li Heng both want to take you into the mansion as a concubine. It seems that they have good vision."

Zhang Guifei laughed.
