Bai Su picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth, then nodded slightly.

After all, the only thing you can use in the north is maltose, and the sweetness is definitely not high. It doesn't taste as good as sucrose, but under the current conditions, there is no way.

Who made the origin of sugarcane in Baiyue in the south, which is too far away from the north.

The road is long and long, and the sugar cane will rot soon after it is transported. If a grand canal is dug out to facilitate the transportation from north to south, it is possible to eat sucrose.

"Gudong..."

Hu Tan smelled the tempting aroma, his throat rolled, and he couldn't help swallowing: "Okay...is it delicious?"

Bai Su glanced at her amusedly: "Didn't you just dislike it, did the barbarians eat it?"

"Ahem... the monarch of the Chu Kingdom back then called himself a Nanman. Today, I can be a barbarian for a while." Hu Tan rolled his eyes, grabbed a piece of milk candy and put it in his mouth.

The toffee with lingering warmth, the faint fragrance and sweet taste spread in her mouth, which immediately made her eyes brighten.

Just as she reached out to grab the second piece, she was suddenly caught by a big hand.

Bai Su looked at her with a smile: "Since you dislike it so much, don't eat it."

Hu Yan gave Bai Su a dissatisfied look: "It's clearly agreed, I'll bring you here on horseback, and you give me some snacks."

Seeing Bai Su who didn't talk much, her mouth puffed up in a moment of anger.

Bai Su smiled, and gave her a strange look: "It's obvious that your riding skills are half-baked, and you don't know where to run when the horse is frightened. It seems that I rode and brought you here."

Hu Yanqiao was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was true. If Bai Su hadn't calmed down the horse in time, she might have fallen to the ground.

She looked at Bai Su: "Then how can you give it to me?"

Bai Su rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "I have wasted a lot of energy to make this bowl of dim sum. You can't eat and drink for nothing, you have to pay for your hard work."

Hu Yan touched his waist, but found that the money bag on his waist had long since disappeared, and it probably fell off when the horse was jolting.

She touched herself and found that there was no penny, but she really wanted to eat that delicious toffee.

After looking around, she seemed to think of something, bit her lips lightly with her snow-white teeth, and after a moment of hesitation, she came in front of Bai Su.

Under Bai Su's puzzled gaze, she tiptoed to kiss Bai Su's face.

"Okay, I've paid for your hard work, and the snacks are mine."

Hu Yan's pretty face was already flushed, and his delicate Yaobi snorted softly, and ran away with a pot of toffee in his arms.

Chapter 19 Day and Night Torment

Inside the Xianyang Palace.

Sister Zheng was sitting in front of the table, holding a roll of blue bamboo slips in her white hands, looking at the report on it, when suddenly there was a sound of clear and crisp footsteps.

She looked up, but saw a girl in red walking in, biting her lip, as if she had something on her mind.

"Mother mother..."

Hu Yan hugged Sister Zheng, his little head lay in Sister Zheng's arms, his voice was dull.

Sister Zheng put down the memorial in her hand, touched her silky hair, and asked in doubt: "What's the matter, this is, don't you like the chasing wind that I sent you?"

Hu Yan smelled the charming scent of his mother, and listened to the comfort of Zheng Jie, his eyes were a little bit blurred.

Sure enough, the mother's arms are the most comfortable.

She raised her small head and looked at Sister Zheng seriously: "No, someone bullied me."

Sister Zheng raised her slender eyebrows, and a strange look flashed in her phoenix eyes: "Are you sure someone is bullying you, not you?"

In her impression, her youngest daughter is a lawless master. When she was a child, just for fun, she grabbed a snake and threw it into the bathtub of others who were taking a bath, making the Xianyang Palace restless.

It can be said that everyone is afraid of the little devil in the world.

It's too late for ordinary people to hide when they see her, who has the guts to bully her.

When Hu Yan saw Sister Zheng making fun of him, he suddenly felt aggrieved: "My lord~"

"Okay, okay, stop shaking, my sleeves are almost torn off by you."

Sister Zheng suppressed her smile, and immediately asked curiously: "Tell me, who bullied you?"

"Who else can there be except that Bai Su? My lord mother said he is a talented person, so the emperor wanted to persuade him to be used by my lord mother, but I didn't expect to be bullied by him." Hu Yan pouted aggrievedly.

She narrated about her outing today, how she kindly took Bai Su home on horseback, but lost her purse on the way, wanted to eat something, and was taken advantage of.

Sister Zheng looked at Hu Yan who clenched her small fists angrily, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart. Finally, she met a nemesis who could make her cringe.

She pursed her vermilion lips lightly, and said with a smile: "Didn't I get a box of toffee back in exchange, it's not a loss."

Hu Yan's eyes were full of grievances: "In the eyes of my mother, is the emperor only worth a box of snacks?"

"Then how are you going to punish him?"

Sister Zheng pretended to be serious and said: "Then how about sending him to the frontier and punishing him to go outside the Great Wall to build the Great Wall and not return to the Central Plains for the rest of his life?"

"Ah, no, that's too serious."

Hu Yan couldn't help objecting, but after seeing Sister Zheng's half-smile expression, he immediately realized that he was being teased by his mother.

Her delicate pretty face was flushed, and she said firmly: "It's too cheap to send him to the frontier, I want to keep him by my side, so that I can torture him anytime and anywhere, so that he can never escape from my palm."

"It's really a terrible punishment."

Sister Zheng gave her a funny look, and joked: "Why don't I marry you to him, so that you can see him anytime, not only can you bully him during the day, but you can continue to bully him at night, making him miserable, see You are afraid."

"Mother mother..."

Hu Tan's exquisite delicate ears were faintly red, and he knew that it was his mother who was teasing him.

Sister Zheng picked up the wine cup and took a sip: "Hu Yan, I am telling you that if you meet someone you like, you need to be decisive, otherwise you will regret it if you miss the opportunity now."

Hu Yan was taken aback for a moment: "What do you mean?"

Sister Zheng glanced at the phoenix eyes of the candle dancing in the distance, after pondering for a long time, she said: "Although I haven't been in contact with that Bai Su for a long time, I can tell that this person is definitely not an ordinary person."

"His judgment of the situation in the world, his precise vision of seeing the hidden dangers of the government, and his endless tricks and tricks are all destined to make great achievements in the future."

"Such a great talent hidden in the market is like a piece of uncut jade, once it is reused in the future, it will show its talent in the court."

"Such a youth with a bright future at such a young age will definitely be targeted by countless princes and ministers, scrambling to betroth his daughter to him."

"At that time, if you want to start, it will be difficult."

It's not that she's lying to Hu Hai, the current imperial court is short of people, the desire for talents, it can be said that it has reached the point of hunger and thirst.

Not only as the emperor, she has always longed for talents, but even the ministers in the court have the same desire for talents.

After all, many ministers in the court are brave and good at fighting, and have outstanding military exploits, but their sons are mediocre, and it is difficult for them to take on great responsibilities.

Once I, the backbone, is gone, the seemingly prosperous family in the past will soon decline.

Therefore, when discovering some talented young talents with great potential in the future, they will definitely think of helping them, getting a favor, or marrying in-laws, and pulling them into their own home.

This is human nature.

With a delicate nose, Hu Yanyao snorted softly, "Hmph, I'm not worried."

Although she said she didn't care, she subconsciously clenched the fingers in her sleeves, obviously feeling a little weak in her heart.

Sister Zheng smiled, but she didn't expose Hu Tan's little thoughts.

After she glanced at the memorial in her hand, she suddenly said: "And she is coming back."

"Her? Could it be that Mother is referring to..." Hu Hai seemed to have thought of something, pointing to the location of the Great Wall on the map with his slender fingers.

Sister Zheng nodded lightly, looking at the dancing candles in the distance: "The current imperial court is busy with government affairs and needs someone to assist the government. It is time to call her back."

"Fu Su..."

In Hu Yan's mind, an elegant and dignified sister with a scholarly temperament suddenly turned a little ugly.

She was full of jealousy towards her older sister.

Because Fusu was one year older than her, as the eldest daughter, she was chosen as the candidate for the crown prince.

Obviously I am smarter, for a long time, I have always adhered to the policy of my mother, and I have never slandered her in the slightest.

But Fusu contradicted her mother's decision, and didn't believe in the foundation of Daxia's rule of law, and believed in the so-called Confucian rhetoric of governing the country with virtue and enforcing the world.

In her mind, Fu Su is not qualified to inherit the position of crown prince at all.

At first, I thought that my sister was exiled by my mother and I was the only candidate, but looking at it now, my sister's position in my mother's heart is still stronger than myself.

Sister Zheng couldn't help smiling when she saw Hu Tan biting her lip with a resigned expression on her face.

A trace of inexplicable color flashed in her phoenix eyes: "Since you are dissatisfied with Fu Suxin, then... after a few days, I will pose a difficult problem for the two of you, and see which of you two can solve it. "

The problem in the report now made her feel a little tricky, and she didn't know how to solve it.

As luck would have it, let the two of them compete, firstly, to see how capable they are, and secondly, maybe the two of them can come up with a solution.

Let's see who is better for it, heir.

"Come here, who is afraid of whom, I will not lose to her."

Hu Yan clenched his small fists, looking confident.

Chapter 20 Sisters Fight

a few days later.

Hu Yan was dressed in a red skirt, and came to the front of the hall with a hache.

Her footsteps stopped suddenly, as if she saw something, a hint of hostility appeared in her strange eyes.

In the main hall, there was a young girl who looked a little like her.

She looks a little older than her, wearing a white skirt, revealing Ona's figure, her jet-black hair is pulled up high, and a blue jade hairpin is pinned on it, giving people a sense of being from a scholarly family, elegant dignified feeling.

The breeze blew gently, and a strand of black hair between the ears and temples floated across the alluring white neck. There seemed to be a trace of inexplicable temptation on the dignified girl.

As if hearing footsteps, the girl gently opened her eyes, black and white clear eyes, looking at Hu Yan at the door.

"What are you looking at, Fusu..."

Hu Yan looked at her sister in name with hostility.

Fu Su came back to his senses, and said calmly: "You should call me sister, calling me by my first name is against etiquette."

Hu Yan curled his lips: "Che, your personality is still so pedantic, it's because you are so rigid that mother doesn't like you."

There was no trace of anger on Fu Su's face: "Mother's decision, as a son and minister, I have no right to interfere, but as a princess, my every move is watched by countless people. Naturally, you can’t do it arbitrarily.”

With a delicate nose, Hu Yanyao snorted softly, "I don't want to be ruled by those complicated rules, hum!"

Fu Su looked at Hu Tan who was making faces at her and sticking out her tongue, her eyebrows frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything.

After about half an hour.

"Your Majesty is here." An envoy's voice came from afar.

The maids along the way bowed to salute one after another, and Fu Su and Hu Yan, who heard the movement, also bowed with their hands.

"I have seen my mother."

Sister Zheng was wearing a black dragon robe, with delicate golden dragon patterns hovering on the sleeves, showing grace in every move.

She paused, her phoenix eyes looked at Fu Su who was bowing to the side, and said softly: "I exile you outside the Great Wall, do you hate me?"

"My son doesn't dare."

Fu Su was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly bowed and said.

Zheng Jie's phoenix eyes looked at her with a smile that was not a smile: "Are you afraid to think about it, or... are you afraid to say it?"

"My son, my son..." There was a thin layer of cold sweat on Fusu's forehead, and his lips trembled slightly.

Under the pressure of Sister Zheng's gaze, she felt as if a mountain was pressing on her body, and she was speechless for a long time.

"Forget it, I called you here, not to ask you these things, but to see your talent, how..."

Sister Zheng withdrew her gaze and said softly: "Although the Six Kingdoms are now destroyed, the hidden dangers left by the Six Kingdoms have not been resolved for a long time. You two are the smartest among the queens."

"The imperial court has a problem right now. Since you want to be heirs, then do your best to write down your opinions on this matter."

"This is a difficult problem for me to test you, and I will give you three days."
