Chapter 216

Seven years have passed.

It has been seven years since she abruptly invited Manager Li to do the seasoning powder business.

The Xia family received an eunuch from the central palace, even though it was only Xuan Zhao Changqing who entered the palace, the old lady Xia and others were extremely excited.

Zhao Changqing was as excited as he was, and after the excitement, he felt an indescribable feeling. It was like there was something that you had waited for too long and for too long. When you were within your touch, the feeling in your heart faded.

Old Mrs. Xia was so happy that she didn't know the east, south, west and north, and said, "Oh, I have to make two fresh dresses tightly. Let's invite the best tailor in the imperial capital to use the best materials... to go to the palace to pay the Empress. This is not a trivial matter. Don't be afraid of spending money. I'll pay for the clothes!"

Mrs. Xia was still clearer and said, "I heard from the young father-in-law who just arrived that I will enter the palace tomorrow morning. There is no hurry to come for this new clothes."

Aunt Xia slapped her thigh, "Or, I'll send someone to my clan brother's house to ask, my clan sister-in-law is a fourth-rank imperial edict, and I think she has been to the palace."

Zhao Changqing calmed down and said warmly, "Old lady, don't worry, I have the clothes for the imperial decree. I'll go to the palace to pay my respects. It's no better to wear a dress."

This is true that Zhao Changqing has an imperial decree, although he is only a sixth-rank young decree, and he is also the first person in the Xia family. Aunt Xia did not care about envy, jealousy, and hurriedly asked, "Niece-in-law, the Empress asked you to go to the palace, do you know what's going on?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "How can we know the meaning of the Empress? I have no idea how many people are from the imperial capital, and I have a family of officials. Even if I have an imperial decree, I am a sesame-sized person, and I am not qualified to go to the palace to pay tribute to the Empress on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, and I would never expect the sudden entry into the palace. But I thought, seeing the eunuch's description of the eunuch, I also accepted the things I gave, and it was not a bad thing."

Old Mrs. Xia understood it or not. No one here understands better than Zhao Changqing. She said, "Why don't you ask someone to go to your clan's house to ask what you need to pay attention to when entering the palace? We have a good idea in our mind."

Zhao Changqing has never liked Xia Gongren's meanness and smiled, "Don't worry, old lady, I and my husband have also received the imperial edict in the border town. Besides, my husband's dynasty meeting on the 15th day of the lunar month, so I will meet His Majesty, and I will not meet you."

When Mrs. Xia thought, yes, her grandson was also an official, and she had met the emperor's official. She did a good job of building her mind, and she calmed down and said, "This makes sense. Oh, you go back and rest now. Don't do anything today. Let's take a break. I have to go to the palace tomorrow morning to pay my respects to the queen." At the end, Mrs. Xia spoke in a high tone, as if she was going to enter the palace, and she was quite proud.

The Empress gave an oral order that Zhao Changqing became a rare protected variety of the Xia family. During lunch, Mrs. Xia sent someone to deliver two dishes to Zhao Changqing. This was the first time Zhao Changqing married into the Xia family. Zhao Changqing was quite amused and crying. It was rare for people who were clearly snobbish as old lady Xia.

Mrs. Xia was overjoyed and talked to her husband, "I have long said that my wife is strong in the family. As expected, think about it, how much grace is this? How many people will never see the Queen in their entire lives?"

Mr. Xia laughed, "Yes." Mr. Xia was as happy as he was, but he couldn't understand the reason why Empress Xuan Zhao Changqing entered the palace. Thinking of it, I didn't know why I got into the Queen's eyes and got this great grace, which was really the virtue of the ancestors.

After lunch, Zhao Changqing went to Mr. Su's place in the afternoon and asked Mr. Su about the rules for entering the palace.

Mr. Su said, "Often the fifth day of the year, you have to wait at the palace gate. After that, the inner palace will pick you up your eunuch. Give him a purse, and he will be more attentive. These rules are nothing strange. You pass the words and deeds, just go there openly." Zhao Changqing was taught by her, and Mr. Su still has this grasp. Mr. Su talked to Zhao Changqing about some of the palace affairs he knew about the new emperor. "Fengyi Palace is the central palace. Your Majesty's first empress is the biological mother of the first prince. He passed away before Your Majesty ascended the throne. Empress Song was enthroned six years ago, and the three media and six hired him to enter the palace from the Zhuque Gate. Empress Song married Your Majesty as a second marriage. The first one she married was the second son of the Empress Dowager Chenggong, which counted as

Your Majesty's cousin and nephew, later divorced his wife and was appointed as the queen by Your Majesty. Among the princes, the legitimate prince is the youngest and has been enthroned by the crown prince. The eldest daughter of Song has two daughters, and the eldest daughter is the Queen Song. The second daughter entered the palace earlier than the Queen Song. When she entered the palace, she was named Concubine De. Concubine De also had a son and a daughter. She lived when she gave birth to the tenth princess. I heard that after Concubine De passed away, there were rumors criticizing Empress Song. Whether it was true or false, it was possible that Empress Song and Concubine De's sisters were incompatible. You should be careful, the tenth princess and the ninth princess were about the same age as the tenth princess, the ninth princess was born by Concubine De, and the ninth princess was born by Concubine Song, and the crown prince's twin sister. The rest is nothing, Empress Song has a stable status, and you are a hard-core empress party. You don't have to worry at all when you go to Fengyi Palace."

Zhao Changqing was a little depressed, "and he was both happy and worried."

Mr. Su raised his eyebrows and Zhao Changqing said, "I'm going to hide it from you, sir, I always remember that when we opened a bun shop outside and earned a few taels of silver, people were eyeing him, and living in the imperial capital was even more difficult." God would not give you precious things easily. Although the Zhao family has a lot of relationship with Queen Song, Zhao Changqing was more careful when he really wanted to meet Queen Song.

"It's not easy to live in the imperial capital." Mr. Su smiled slightly, "Don't worry too much, the soldiers come and the generals come and the water comes and the soil is flooded. The time when we are most difficult is over."

When Xia Wen came home and heard about this, he thought for a moment and said to Zhao Changqing, "There is nothing to do in our family. Queen Xuan, you entered the palace. It was not Xuanyuan Gong's business, but he should have come from Chengen Hou's Mansion."

Zhao Changqing served him and changed into homely clothes and said, "I think so too, but because of the reason, I have to enter the palace to know."

Xia Wen laughed, "It won't be a bad thing. I'll send you to the palace gate tomorrow." Although he didn't know why, he had a good relationship with Song Jiarang and had made contributions and no mistakes in the northwest at first. The queen suddenly told Zhao Changqing that he would enter the palace, at least he would not have any malice.

It’s not hard to enter the palace. It’s just getting up early and waiting in advance to the palace gate. According to the rules of the palace, there will be no problem.

Xia Wen's grade is not high, and it is not his turn to the young court meeting on weekdays. He has to go to the 1st day of the 15th day of the dynasty meeting to get to the dynasty. Today is not the day of the dynasty meeting, so he got up early. After the couple had breakfast together, he sent Zhao Changqing to the palace gate.

Zhao Changqing was the first time he had entered the palace in two lifetimes. He admired the majesty of the palace without any trace. He followed the little eunuch through several palace gates and arrived at the Fengyi Palace. Even when he arrived at Fengyi Palace, you couldn't get in. You were waiting in the yard first. The little eunuch went in and reported it to you, and the palace servant came out to take you in.

At this moment, the sun was rising, with red lights and the glazed tiles on the palace courtyard were brilliant. Queen Song had used meals, and all the red-colored panes were opened. The fragrance of plants and trees in the morning poured into the room, making it refreshing.

Zhao Changqing gave a great gift, and Queen Song said, "Sit." He ordered the palace servants, "Where has the princess gone? Call her over."

Some palace servants went to find the princess, some palace servants brought an embroidered bench, and Zhao Changqing sat down respectfully. Queen Song laughed, "Fujie came to the palace to say that the magical power of restoration was great. The princess talked to me for several days after hearing this. My ears were really noisy, so I had to invite the ambulance to come to the palace."

It was this reason. Zhao Changqing never thought that she looked up at Queen Song with the courage to look at Queen Song. Queen Song’s eyebrows were just pretty, not even more beautiful than Zhao Changqing, but her graceful attitude was indescribable. Zhao Changqing said, “My wife used to use this to coax their children to play.”

Queen Song was actually curious and asked, "Did Anren be born with such divine power?"

Zhao Changqing shook his head, "I fainted once when I was a child, and suddenly my strength became stronger."

Queen Song asked, "I must be very uncomfortable at first, right?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "It seems that everything around him suddenly turns into paper, so be very careful when doing anything." The palace maid brought the tea, and Zhao Changqing bowed and took it, saying, "It's like holding this tea cup, when you are not careful at the beginning, you will get rid of it."

The world is so big that it is all kinds of wonders.

Queen Song also had an adventure herself. After listening with a smile, she said, "Anren's seasoning powder is amazing." She didn't know if Zhao Changqing had the same adventure as her.

Zhao Changqing said, "It's just a trick of eagle."

Queen Song sent the palace servants and said, "The things that can change people's lives are often these tricks. I am not curious about the secret recipe, but I just don't know how Anren came up with it. I can speak with confidence."

Zhao Changqing naturally believed in Empress Song's character. After working with Manager Li for many years, he made a lot of money, and did not swallow the small amount with big things. Therefore, although he had never met, Zhao Changqing always believed that Empress Song had a respectable character.

Zhao Changqing said in a gentle voice, "My wife has a relative who is a bit weird. She needs to fast on the first and fifteenth day of the day. In fact, she likes to eat meat the most. She is not satisfied with the many meals she cooks, and always says it is not delicious. The woman thought of this method, bake the chicken in the pot and beat it into fine powder. Whether it is soup or cooking, put some chicken powder in it, it will be particularly fragrant, and no one finds the reason. The relative no longer complains when he eats delicious meals."

Queen Song nodded slightly and smiled, "People always like to pray to Gods and Buddhas, but they don't know that if they do their best on weekdays, they are better than gods and Buddhas."

Zhao Changqing laughed, "Yes. Gods and Buddhas are nothing more than just persuading people to be kind. Most people like to cram the Buddha at the moment." That was a long time ago. When she married Ling Teng, Mrs. Ling would always make things difficult for this and that. Later, Ling Teng went to the imperial examination. Mrs. Ling ate vegetarian food and prayed to Gods and Buddhas to bless her son with the imperial examination. In fact, Mrs. Ling was the most unacceptable to vegetarian food, so she always picked on the food she cooked was not delicious. She could not bear it anymore and thought of this method to fool her. At that time, she thought about how to speak to others. Later, the incident of Little Pear Blossom Shop was sold, and Feng Jian was watching the recipe of the bun ingredients. In fact, the seasoning of buns was simply borrowed soup, and the soup was made of chicken. Zhao Changqing accidentally remembered this incident in his previous life and prepared the first seasoning powder.

Queen Song smiled and was about to say something, when she heard the noise outside the door, Princess Ninth was wearing big red clothes and ran in. Zhao Changqing quickly got up. Behind the Ninth Princess, two older nannies, two young palace ladies, two other ladies who were about the same age as Princess Ninth Princess, one of whom Zhao Changqing recognized it, and the other one was a little bit distant.

The Ninth Princess looked at her mother like a blessing, looked at Zhao Changqing and asked, "Mom, is this Zhao An native?"

Queen Song laughed, "Yes. You haven't been talking about An Ren. I'll announce her to enter the palace. What are you doing? You're not here to find you."

The ninth princess was round and moist, with a big red dot between her eyebrows, and her hair was combed, which looked like a doll on the New Year painting. She said seriously, "I'll go find Mama Zhang to learn how to make clothes. When I learn how to make a dragon robe for my father."

Queen Song laughed. I really don’t know who I learned such sweet words from. Princess Ninth is eating, drinking, playing and coaxing her emperor father. She says something irrelevant every day, and Emperor Zhaowen can make her coax her so stupidly.

The Ninth Princess also had a familiar temper. She went over to talk to Zhao Changqing. When she saw Zhao Changqing standing, she said, "Anren, please sit down." After Zhao Changqing sat down, the Ninth Princess asked, "Anren, you can use silver to make flowers, right?"

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Yes." When talking to children, you must not be arrogant, let alone say something that is not stupid, because they have not learned worldly style and may not understand it.

The Ninth Princess quickly ordered, "Madam Zhang, go to my mother's place to get some silver for me." The Ninth Princess was trained by her mother. She was very financially conscious at a young age. She saved all her own money on weekdays, but she asked Queen Song for money when she had the money for her. Emperor Zhaowen often gave her gold and silver crocks to make her happy. In fact, in the palace, except for rewarding the palace servants, there was no need for money for other people.

After taking the silver ingots, the Ninth Princess said crisply, "Anren, please squeeze a peony flower for me. My father said I am his little peony flower."

The silver ingot came to Zhao Changqing's hand like dough. The Ninth Princess opened her mouth slightly and looked at the silver ingot being pinched into a vivid peony flower. The Ninth Princess stretched out her little hand and touched it, took it from Zhao Changqing's hand, held it in her soft palm, and took it to Queen Song to show it. She was surprised and happy, and her voice was childish, "Mom, look! It's really a peony flower!"

Queen Song picked it up and looked carefully, laughing, "It seems that what Sister Fu said is true."

"Yes. Cousin Fu will not lie to me anymore." said the Ninth Princess, "Mom, please help me take the peony first." He grabbed a silver ingot from the plate and gave it to Zhao Changqing, and said, "Anren, please help me pinch a rose."

So, Zhao Changqing did nothing all morning, and just made a trick for the Ninth Princess. He kept pinching all the silver ingots and a small figure for the Ninth Princess. The eunuch came to report: His Majesty came to have lunch at noon. Queen Song smiled and said to the Ninth Princess, "Let An Ren go back first, I've made so many tricks for you. When will you want to settle someone, I'll announce her to enter the palace, okay?"

The Ninth Princess was still unsatisfied and said, "Okay. Thank you for your hard work."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Your Highness likes it, it is the honor of his wife."

The Ninth Princess obviously really liked the way Zhao Changqing made her. She generously praised Zhao Changqing two pieces of satin. Queen Song added some more things and ordered someone to send Zhao Changqing out of the palace.

The prince has already entered school this year. Emperor Zhaowen first went to the Eastern Palace and asked about the prince's progress in his studies. He took his son to Fengyi Palace for dinner. As soon as the father and son arrived at Fengyi Palace, they received a gift from the Ninth Princess. The Ninth Princess gave a chrysanthemum to the prince and a peony flower to Emperor Zhaowen.

Emperor Zhaowen hugged her on his lap, "Did you see Zhao Anren?"

The Ninth Princess said, "These are all made by Zhao An people for me. Father, you don't know how powerful Zhao An people are!" Then the Ninth Princess talked to her emperor father about Zhao An people's excellence. Finally, the Ninth Princess came to a conclusion, "The martial arts of Zhao An people must be better than their mothers. Father, I want to learn how to make things happen with Zhao An people, okay?"

Emperor Zhaowen laughed, "This is not something you can learn in a short while."

"Then I can learn it even if I study for a while." The Ninth Princess showed her father the small portrait that Zhao Changqing had pinched for her, and said happily, "When I learn it, I will pinch one for my father."

Emperor Zhaowen laughed, "If you like it, just ask her to come to the palace to teach you." This is not a big deal for Emperor Zhaowen, and he is just pretending to be a joke to his daughter.

The Ninth Princess was indeed happy. She raised her mouth and sniffed Emperor Zhaowen. Emperor Zhaowen laughed.

His Highness the Crown Prince glanced at his silly girl and said to himself, it turns out that the capable are laboring, the wise are tired, and the fools are free to enjoy wealth and honor.

Zhao Changqing and Empress Song met for the first time and had a good impression of each other. However, Zhao Changqing never expected that she could become one of the ninth princess's men. The courses were not tiring, so she could go there once every five days.

Even Xia Shaoqing's wife Xia Gongren couldn't help but say after hearing her daughter's story about this, "I am really lucky." The emperor had ten princesses, and the ninth princess was the only princess born out of the legitimate princess. Her status was noble, so you can imagine.

The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an rarely returned to her parents' home and said, "This step will make you as good as God." Since the prince entered school, the queen began to pick up companions for the Ninth Princess and choose a female gentleman. The Ninth Princess's female gentlemen are all decreed wives from wealthy families in the imperial capital, with noble identities and strengths. No matter where Zhao Changqing, there are some lands from the northwest border town, I have never heard of it. However, Xiao'an, a 16th-rank rank, actually left such a lucky fortune, which is really indescribable.

For example, the mother and daughter of the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an, Xia Gongren, were envious and jealous. For example, the eldest wife of Song, Qi, was completely happy for Zhao Changqing. Qi laughed, "This is a fate, otherwise the princess will have more fates, so why do you just like Changqing?" If you have the opportunity, you have to seize it. Zhao Changqing seized the opportunity, at least you have a place in the circle of edicts.

Of course, not everyone has good intentions.

"I'm climbing higher and higher, and I'm really talented in this camp."

"Do you want to spread the news? Please let Zhao go if you can't afford it."

"He often said that only by climbing high can you fall heavily. Let Zhao climb higher."
