Guide to traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1231 Postscript 87·The atmosphere in the inner house is very bad

"Dong Dong Dong!"

"My dear, it's time to get up early!"

Early in the morning, a maid was shouting outside.

Today, Xie Yan and the princess will go to the palace, one is to send some chocolate to Queen Mother Ye, and the other is to work with chemists on rubber vulcanization.

Xie Yan yawned and sat up.

Qingluan was also woken up. She opened her eyes and peeked at her lover. The more she looked, the more she felt that he was suave. Moreover, he was so powerful last night that he made her feel like she was dying... Oh, what am I thinking about, it's so embarrassing.

Feeling that Xie Yan turned his head to look at her, Qingluan quickly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Suddenly, she felt that she shouldn't continue to sleep, so Qingluan quickly got up to help Xie Yan get dressed.

"You can sleep a little longer. No one will come to urge you today." Xie Yan began to put on his underwear by himself. He liked to sleep with his shirt off.

Qingluan sat on Xie Yan's legs and carefully helped him tie his clothes.

Although she often helped Xie Yan dress before, her mood was obviously different at this moment. Qingluan felt like a wife serving her husband.

She had a smile on her face, and she especially enjoyed this kind of warmth.

Xie Yan was so excited after hearing this: "Do you often peek?"

"I'm not the only one who peeked," Qingluan actually showed an admiring expression, "We were scared at the time, and we didn't dare to breathe. Hehe, the princess kneeled down to the prince consort. Not to mention that it was spread outside, it would be embarrassing if the maids knew about it. Liu Lang is really amazing. He disciplined the princess to obedience!"

"Get up quickly, don't sit on my lap." Xie Yan couldn't help it.

Qingluan was like a little goblin. She actually got up and knelt in front of the bed, raised her head and looked up at Xie Yan, her eyes were blurred, and her mouth was slightly open: "Liu Lang, I want to try it too."

Xie Yan was furious: "I'm in a hurry to enter the palace today, I'll discipline you tomorrow!" As he said, he shouted to the outside, "Come in."

The door opened immediately, and several maids came in with hot water, toothbrushes and other things.

Qingluan hurriedly got up and got back into bed, facing the inside of the bed and not daring to see anyone. The maids all pursed their lips and held back their smiles when they saw this. At the same time, they were envious.

Even the palace maids signed employment contracts for five years. When the contract expired, they returned to the people to get married and have children. Only some of them voluntarily renewed their contracts and those who were accidentally pushed down by the emperor remained.

The maids around the princess also signed five-year contracts.

But just like the palace maids who voluntarily stayed, as long as they felt that they had the opportunity to become female officials, the palace maids would very resolutely renew their contracts and wait for promotion.

Only by becoming a female official in the palace can one become someone close to the emperor or concubines, or be responsible for managing certain affairs in the palace.

And what about the princess?

Those who can be the princess's personal maids have high requirements for appearance, figure, conversation, and character. They did not leave in the first five years, and now it is the second five years. How can they be willing to return to the people to get married?

They don't look down on ordinary people at all, and those who can look at them will never marry them.

Self-positioning is quite embarrassing.

The best outcome is to be taken in by Xie Yan. Even if she can't be a concubine, it's good to be able to sleep with him, and it would be even better if she can have a child.

If that doesn't work, she can wait until she's older and find a male servant in the princess's house to marry, and then the couple can manage the princess's family together. At worst, she can be a small manager of a manor outside the city.

After Xie Yan finished brushing his teeth and washing his face, he was helped by the maids to put on his coat, and then went to the dressing room to let the maids help comb his hair.

Perhaps because Xie Yan was usually very gentle and casual, these maids were quite bold in front of him.

They didn't follow immediately, but stayed in the room for the time being, saying in unison as if jokingly: "Congratulations to Sister Qingluan for getting what she wanted."

Qingluan was so embarrassed that she pulled up the quilt and covered her head directly.

A maid rushed to the bedside and asked with a smile: "Sister Qingluan, what did the young man do yesterday?"

"No respect for elders!"

Qingluan finally couldn't help it, sat up and shouted angrily: "Why don't you help the prince consort comb his hair!"

"Hahaha!"

The maids laughed happily.

Qingluan pointed at the maid beside the bed and said: "Zifeng, you are joking with me now, and it will be your turn next. In the palace, we were chosen to be by the princess' side together. You will definitely not be able to escape according to seniority."

Qingluan flew into the Hehuan Palace, and Zifeng came out of the forbidden area with a flower in her mouth.

The names of these two people come from the same poem.

Zifeng smiled and said: "I will definitely not run away. I wish I could get my turn sooner."

"Slut!" Qingluan picked up a soft pillow and threw it at her.

Zifeng took the pillow, looked at the burnt-out red candle, and teased, "Oh, this candle is still red."

Qingluan pretended to get out of bed and chased after her, but Zifeng threw the soft pillow back and went out with the maids with a laugh.

Before Xie Yan came to the door, there was no such atmosphere in the princess's house.

Because the princess was depressed all day, the maids were also depressed.

Now everyone is very happy, laughing every day, because the princess has become more and more cheerful, and they don't have to suppress their emotions anymore.

Everyone likes Prince Consort Xie, not only in the inner courtyard, but also in the outer courtyard!

Even regardless of gender.

Zifeng walked briskly, Qingluan got what she wanted, and it might be her turn next, and the days are getting more and more promising.

I just don't know if Liulang likes plump women.

Alas, my breasts are too big, and literati seem to hate this.

But Liulang occasionally sneaks a peek at my breasts, especially in summer, several times a day. He should like it, right? At least he doesn't hate it.

You can’t be greedy anymore, you’re gaining more and more fat.

At this moment, Xie Yan thought that he should be more serious, as the maids did not take him seriously. He has been sitting in the closet for two or three minutes, and the maids haven't followed him yet.

It's finally here.

Zifeng picked up the comb and stood behind her to help Xie Yan comb her hair.

As he combed his hair, Xie Yan realized something was wrong.

Hey, eldest sister, can you hold it back? What are you doing with your chest pressed against it? Those two big lumps of yours are scary.

I haven't done anything big before. Did you take the wrong medicine today?

Forget it, this is my first offense, so I am generous and don’t care.

"Princess hasn't gotten up yet?" Xie Yan asked.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

A maid replied: "Your Highness needs to sleep for a while. It is said that he has become more sleepy after becoming pregnant."

Xie Yan ordered: "Let the kitchen make more pastries or sour snacks and bring them to the princess at all times. The princess occasionally suffers from morning sickness and may not be able to eat."

Zifeng said: "Liu Lang is so considerate to Your Highness. Women all over the world are looking forward to having such a happy husband."

Just talk, what are you doing here?

This touch...forget it, we don't care.

Xie Yan found that the atmosphere in the inner house needed to be rectified, and his stay at Qingluan's room last night was a bad start.

They are all so positive that I can’t stand it!

He said he entered the palace early in the morning, but Zhu Tangxi slept until midnight before getting up.

The couple had a hasty breakfast, then took a carriage to the imperial city, and waited for about an hour to be summoned.

The little emperor is not here, so the morning is his study time, and big scholars take turns teaching every day.

Queen Mother Ye was reviewing the memorial, with Tao Jinfeng assisting her.

There is nothing to review. I usually write the word "ke" and draw a circle around the word "ke".

After the couple paid their respects, the eunuch brought two chairs.

Queen Mother Ye put down her ink pen: "I heard that you are pregnant?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm concerned about the positive pulse diagnosed a few days ago." Zhu Tangxi replied with a smile.

Queen Mother Ye said: "Why are you free today to meet me and your wife together?"

Zhu Tangxi took out the gift box: "Yesterday, the consort made cakes...well, more like candy. This candy is so delicious that Tangxi doesn't dare to keep it to himself, so he specially dedicated it to my sister-in-law."

The maid took the chocolate and held it in front of Queen Mother Ye.

Queen Mother Ye picked up a piece and tasted it, with a slightly surprised expression: "This candy is extremely delicious. I didn't expect Bachelor Xie to have such skills."

Zhu Tangxi began to show off her husband: "He has many skills. He made chili oil by mixing chili powder with spices. This was the first time he came to visit and made spicy shredded chicken for me. I didn't hide anything. I gave the recipe to Wu Lingfeng, and now it has been spread to Jingzhong Restaurant."

Zhu Tangxi also sighed: "Tell her to stop talking nonsense, she just can't cover her mouth. In order to sell spicy chicken shreds, Banxianlou actually said that this is the love dish of the princess consort."

Queen Mother Ye was stuffed with dog food, and she couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, stop showing off, and quickly show me how to make this candy. What's the name of this candy?"

Xie Yan said: "Princess candy."

Zhu Tangxi became even happier after hearing this.

The living man was so full of dog food that he took up his pen and wrote a revenge text: "On the sixth day of September, the eldest princess of the state of Qin brought her consort Xie Yan to see the queen mother and presented a candy called Princess Candy. The consort made this candy with her own hands. It is very popular with the princess. It is also said that the famous spicy chicken shreds in the capital were cooked by the consort when he first met the princess. The princess fell in love with this dish, which can be seen from the consort's skill. "

This Spring and Autumn style of writing clearly satirizes Xie Yan for using delicious food to attract rich women!

Xie Yan added: "This kind of candy is made from cocoa beans donated by the Mayan king."

"Is there such a thing?" Queen Mother Ye asked in surprise.

Xie Yan started to talk irresponsibly: "The Mayan royal family takes Coco as their surname. There is a lot of gold and silver in the Mayan country, but they only use cocoa beans as currency, which shows their love for this thing."

"Why don't I remember this thing in Maya's tribute?" Queen Mother Ye said.

Xie Yan explained: "The natives of the vassal country do not know good food, and the food they make with cocoa is very bitter. Her Majesty the Queen Mother may have forgotten that the cocoa presented by the Maya king was left to the palace to be handled by Honglu Temple. After communicating with the Mayan envoy, I tried adding sugar and milk to it, and it turned out to be a very delicious candy.”

Queen Mother Ye said to Tao Jinfeng: "You also have a piece."

Tao Jinfeng tasted it and immediately said: "This thing can be traded, and it should be welcomed by the people of the country."

Queen Mother Ye agreed and asked the American trade goods to increase cocoa beans and asked next year's fleet to bring back some seeds. She thought of her son again and said, "The rest of the princess candy will be reserved for the officials."

Queen Mother Ye looked at Xie Yan and joked: "The prince-in-law only knows how to learn from others. I'm afraid that in ten years, there will be a lot of things named after the Qin Kingdom and the princess in the Ming Dynasty."

"Sister-in-law is wise." Zhu Tangxi was overjoyed.
