"I heard that Minister Yan's old illness relapsed and he is recuperating at home, so he can't come to the morning court these days."

"You guys don't know about this?"

"From what you said, is there something wrong with Minister Yan?"

"I heard that Minister Yan accepted bribes, arbitrarily modified the results of official assessments, and influenced the court's employment. The emperor sent people to investigate and interrogate him. This matter was carried out in secret and was not made public in order to dig out more people involved. The only thing they said to the public was that Minister Yan's old illness relapsed and he was recuperating at home."

"Since this is being done in secret, how do you know about it?"

"There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Since Minister Yan has done such a thing, naturally someone will know about it. Now that Minister Yan claims to be ill but does not allow anyone to visit him, it is inevitable that people will guess."

"That makes some sense..."

"I heard that Minister Yan was so bold as to go before the Emperor and accuse the eldest prince of being cruel and immoral, and for beating Concubine Yan, in an attempt to get the Emperor to make the decision to divorce the eldest prince and Concubine Yan."

"Tsk, this Concubine Yan is restless and causes trouble everywhere. No matter who she marries, I'm afraid it will be unbearable. I think Your Highness must have been fed up and is teaching her a lesson."

"But then again, the emperor wants to take action against the Yan family. Is it related to Minister Yan's desire to draw a clear line between himself and His Highness?"

"The Emperor does not approve of forming cliques for personal gain, but I think the Emperor also dislikes people who sell out their masters for fame and fortune and are two-faced."

"Even if His Highness has a thousand faults, he is still the Emperor's son and a prince. How could he be schemed against by a court official like you..."

"This Minister Yan is really smart all his life but is foolish for a moment."

"If you plan too much, the eagle will peck you in the eye in the end."

"I think you should not speculate too much about your Majesty's thoughts and just focus on doing your own things. This is the only way to stay safe."

"That's right..."

These were the conversations of several groups of people. Although the voices were very low, He Yanxiu had excellent hearing and was able to hear them clearly.

Qin Peiyou whispered, "The Yan family has brought this upon themselves."

"Yeah." He Yanxiu nodded.

"I just don't know who will be the next one?" Qin Peiyou smiled slightly.

"There are many people in the court who have ulterior motives, and there are also a few who are worthy of death. The emperor is now trying to clear the obstacles for you, and Your Highness the Crown Prince can take this opportunity to learn from him."

Be it governing the country, rectifying the administration of officials, or even how to remove acne, these are things that can be understood but not expressed in words. One needs to observe carefully, ponder carefully, and then form one's own style.

Qin Peiyou understood what He Yanxiu meant and nodded.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

"Long live the emperor..." - In August, the weather became a little cool in the mornings and evenings.

Su Yujin has been quite busy these days.

First, I went to the orchard in the suburbs of Beijing to pick some early-ripening apples, pears, and autumn peaches. Then I went to a farm adjacent to the suburbs of Beijing and Qinghe River to dig some fresh peanuts, picked some edamame which were still green, caught a few fat ducks, and bought various seasonings from the Beijing Zhouji shop.

After returning home, Su Yujin went straight into the kitchen.

Bake apple chips, stew duck pears with rock sugar and white fungus, and canned autumn peaches...

Cook five-spice peanuts and five-spice edamame, and make braised duck feet, duck necks, and duck racks...

So much so that in recent days, the entire Su family residence has been filled with a mixture of spicy, fresh, sour and sweet flavors.

But soon, a rich sweet fragrance wafted over the Su family’s residence.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, mooncakes are an indispensable item.

Su Yujin made many varieties this time.

Red bean paste, mung bean paste, salted egg yolk, jujube paste, lotus seed paste, rose, osmanthus...

There are also various kinds of mooncake skins.

Snow skin, crispy skin, starch skin, mixed sugar skin...

These different skins and fillings are then combined separately and used with a variety of mooncake molds. The mooncakes made by Su Yujin are piled as high as a hill.

Su Yujin showed off her skills here, and Lu and Su Yunruo were not idle either, they also did a few things.

Luonan Prefecture is close to Su area, and the mooncakes there are also Su-style puff pastry mooncakes. Lu and Su Yunruo made mooncakes with pine nut and date paste fillings, ham and fruit fillings, lard and sand fillings, and fresh meat fillings.

After making these mooncakes, besides eating them yourself, you can also use them when visiting relatives and friends.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Su Yujin went door to door and delivered some of what she had made, along with some of what Lu and Su Yunruo had made.

First, the He family, for Madam He and Madam He, then the people who came to the palace to honor Concubine Shu and the Fifth Princess, and then the Lu family...

At this moment, Su Yujin was riding in a carriage on the way to the home of Duke Zhen of Anguo.

Since Zhen Yue visited her maternal grandparents' home, she saw that her cousins ​​were all studying hard. As she grew older, she became more sensible, so she took the initiative to follow the teacher and study various subjects seriously.

Zhen Yue was a lively, cheerful and outgoing girl, and it was really boring for her to take care of several teachers at home. So Duke Anguo simply asked the emperor to send Zhen Yue to the palace to study and attend classes with several princesses of the same age.

Because of this, Zhen Yue stayed in the palace for a long time and was not often at the Zhen family.

When Su Yujin arrived at the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, the doorman informed her for a moment and then invited her in.

"Yu Jin is here." Duke Anguo stroked his beard and greeted him warmly, "You came just in time. I was drinking tea alone and it was boring. I'm glad someone can chat with me."

"Where's Yan Xiu? Didn't he come with you today?"

"He's been busy with the Ministry of Revenue these days and has no time." Su Yujin replied with a smile, "Maybe he knows that you find tea boring, so I just happened to send some tea and snacks over at this time?"

While chatting and laughing, Su Yujin opened the food box she brought.

In addition to the exquisite and delicious mooncakes, Su Yujin also prepared some snacks such as braised duck.

Duke Anguo had tasted Su Yujin's cooking skills before, and when he saw these things, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "I said that Yujin is the most filial, and he still cares about my daily food and wine."

As he was talking, Duke Anguo couldn't wait to take a few to taste them.

While eating, he said, "These are the flavors that Yue'er likes. Leave them for now. I will eat them all when I drink later."

"Foster father, just eat as much as you can. If it's not enough, there's more." Su Yujin smiled, "I went to the palace a few days ago. Although I didn't see Yue'er, I asked Concubine Shu and the Fifth Princess to bring food over. I guess Yue'er is eating right now."

"You are still careful and thoughtful, and you care about Yue'er." Duke Anguo sighed, and his eyes looking at Su Yujin became more and more complicated.
