Duke Yu smiled.

"What's so good about her? Not only is she ugly, but she's also rude and rude. More importantly, she has no sense of propriety, justice and shame." Yu Manrou said, "Father, how can someone like her deserve to be so loved by Feng Yuanchen."

Duke Yu was very pleased to hear his daughter's words and nodded with a smile.

"Our daughter is really different." He praised, "Don't worry, I have already sent the message to Prince Chen's Mansion. I think it won't take long for you to get a reply. When Prince Chen comes to the house, you can give me a dance first.

When the time comes, let King Chen see clearly that you are the most suitable woman for him."

Yu Manrou nodded shyly.

Sheng Zhiyao became famous in one battle. Although he was only a six-year-old child, it was enough to cause a sensation in the capital. Especially the one hundred poems shocked everyone. The literati and poets talked about it one after another. Some people even began to ask to see Mr. Sheng, hoping that Mr. Sheng would meet him.

I can take my granddaughter to see everyone.

However, Lord Sheng closed his door to thank guests and refused anyone to visit, which also made Sheng Zhiyao's name a target of public criticism.

"Father, is this okay?" Sheng Zhengye persuaded sadly.

"It is not a good thing to expose your talent too early." Mr. Sheng drank tea slowly. "It is gratifying to let her show her talent in front of others, but if it leads to jealousy and frame-up, it will not be good for our family."

Sheng Zhengye nodded, feeling a little grateful.

"Father, you are still thinking too far. I almost got confused." He said, "But what should I do now? Zhiyao is already well-known, and now many celebrities and poets have come to the door to ask for an audience."

"I'm not afraid of that." Mr. Sheng said with a smile, "Anyway, Zhiyao is not in the house now. You can ask someone to pass a message to the palace and ask Zhiyao and his brothers to stay in the palace tonight and wait until tomorrow.

"Return."

Sheng Zhengye immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It's my father who has foresight."

"There is no foresight. Since it is the emperor who caused the trouble, let him clean it up on his own. For his selfishness, my precious granddaughter has to suffer. We should keep this debt in mind. The emperor cannot afford to pay for it." Mr. Sheng

Mr. Hou said with a hum.

On the contrary, although the Sheng family held the position of marquis hereditary, Old Marquis Sheng relied on his achievements in the imperial examination. He himself was talented and a close friend of the emperor.

"Father, my son doesn't dare to argue with the emperor." Sheng Zhengye simply waved his hand and said, "My son doesn't have the guts."

"What are you afraid of? He won't eat you." Old Marquis Sheng scolded, "Besides, he should also know what the consequences will be once Ziyao's reputation becomes known. You don't have to worry, those who come to the door will also

Don’t worry, don’t they know my temper, Sheng Lixin?”

"Yes, yes, what my father said is that Tianxianglou and Dasheng Roast Duck are going to be very busy these days!" Sheng Zhengye sighed, and then said with a smile, "This is better, it's better than going to the door.

good."

Mr. Sheng laughed heartily and patted his arm.

"Don't worry, Zhiyao will be happier knowing that she will make money than being known as a genius."

As night falls, the Purple Phoenix Hall is bustling with excitement.

Sheng Zhiyao cooked a large table of dishes in the imperial kitchen, which filled the entire room.

"Zhiyao, are you preparing to set up a banquet?" the queen sat on the chair and said with a smile.

"Grandma Huang, I'm very happy today, it's rare." Sheng Zhiyao stood at the table holding a wine bottle and said, "So I'm treating you to dinner to celebrate."

The queen took the filled cup with a smile.

"As long as you're happy, I've never seen many of these dishes. It seems like you're in for a treat today." She said with a smile, while drinking the wine in the glass, "Huh? What kind of wine is this? It tastes good."

Sheng Zhiyao chuckled.

"This is red wine, Grandma Royal, try it." She said, pointing to the red wine bottle beside her, "This is wine made from grapes."

The queen looked at it, picked up the wine cup and took a sip.

"It tastes really good." She nodded in appreciation, "Did you brew it?"

"Of course, and we will also have a place for grapes in Shangzhou in the future." Sheng Zhiyao said proudly, "In the future, whether you want to eat grapes or drink this red wine,

We can all do it ourselves.”

"Well then, the grapes sent from Northern Xia every year are basically in the palace, but there are only a few bunches. The distance is far, and fresh grapes are not suitable for storage. Every time when the weather gets hot and I want to try them, they are gone.

." The Queen Mother said, then smiled, "But our Zhiyao brewing skills are getting better and better."

"That's it, Grandma Huang, if you want to eat grapes from now on, I will pick them for you. There are grapes in the greenhouse of Yuanyao Village, and there are a lot of fruits, that's enough." Sheng Zhiyao said, quite confident in her craftsmanship.

The Queen smiled and nodded.

"You are a filial and hard-working child. It feels like everything is available in Yuanyao Village. If this planting technology can be carried forward, our Shangzhou can be considered rich and prosperous." She said with a gentle smile.

"Grandma Huang will definitely know it. After my uncle and I have studied these things, we will let him take these technologies and find a place for the people to plant them. By then, we will have a prosperous country and a peaceful people, and the people will have enough food and clothing and be self-sufficient. That's called

It's peaceful." Sheng Zhiyao said seriously.

The Queen smiled and nodded, and the two looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" Suddenly a shout came from outside the palace.

With these words, the emperor stepped in.

"I heard it. My Xiao Zhiyao is really our lucky star, Shang Zhou. No, she brought me the good news so quickly." He said with a happy expression.

"Grandpa Huang, you are here at the right time. Try this red wine and eat some dishes. I guarantee that you will have endless aftertaste." Sheng Zhiyao said happily, raising her hand and stuffing the chopsticks into the hands of the emperor, "This can be regarded as my thanks to Grandpa Huang.

Rewarded."

The emperor looked at her, his eyes still as loving as ever.

"You." He shook his head and said, "You are always so clever."

Sheng Zhiyao stuck out her tongue, lowered her head and sat aside, while asking Aunt Rong to add more bowls and chopsticks.

At this time, the Sheng brothers and Feng Yuanchen also came to the Purple Phoenix Hall, bowed to the Emperor and Queen, and took their seats.

The emperor then invited them to have a few drinks and said, "I am very pleased that all four of you, brother and sister, have great potential."

"Your Majesty praises you." Sheng Hancheng said with a smile, "Thank you for your holy grace."

"This is all thanks to grandpa's good teaching." Sheng Hangu said modestly.

On the side, Sheng Zhiyao lowered his head slightly and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You four brothers and sisters are all very good." The emperor said with a smile, "especially you, Hancheng, you can't slack off while staying in the Yuanchen military camp. I heard that you are preparing to take the martial arts examination?"
