Chapter 195 His Majesty's Taste
Both Song Ye and Zhou Chen's families surrounded Zhou Ying and Zhou Zeyan, looked them over from head to toe, and only felt relieved when they saw that they did not have a single wound on their bodies.
Wen Xinhou and Jiang Xi suddenly came over and bowed to Zhou Ying and Zhou Zeyan.
"Thank you both for saving my daughter's life. After we return to Beijing, my family will come to thank you."
Zhou Ying and Zhou Zeyan quickly moved away and did not accept the greeting.
Zhou Chengxuan: "My Lord and the Crown Prince are too polite. The three of them are originally a team, so it is only right for them to go back to find the Princess."
Zhou Chengan also said: "My daughter and the princess are good friends. Why should you be so formal, my Lord?"
Zhou Ying and Zhou Zeyan nodded obediently: "Yes, Lord, this is what we should do."
"No matter what, this time it is really thanks to you two."
Even though the Zhou family said so, Marquis Wenxin did not think that it was right for Zhou Ying and Zhou Zeyan to go back to find Princess Lejia.
Being able to turn back and save people in such a dangerous situation is something that many blood relatives cannot do.
No matter what, after returning to the capital, I must bring gifts to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to express my gratitude.
Thinking of this, Marquis Wenxin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Both the Zhou and Shen families have good family traditions. Their descendants are not only ambitious but also united.
It really is a well-established family.
Their daughter Aning has good vision and knows how to choose good children to be her friends.
Just then, Andy An came with several eunuchs to announce the decree.
The results of this hunting competition have come out. Zhou Ying's team had already hunted a lot of prey, and later shot a tiger, making them the well-deserved first among many teams.
Zhou Zeyan and Zhou Ying both won the first place and received rewards from Emperor Jingning.
Zhou Zeyan got a precious sword, and Zhou Ying got a Liuguang bow bestowed by the emperor.
In addition, the two men each received a thousand taels of gold.
When Andersen announced the decree, all the people participating in the hunting competition were present and listening.
Although others were somewhat envious of the Zhou siblings for taking first place and receiving so many rewards, no one was jealous.
At that time, many people witnessed the process of the Zhou siblings shooting the tiger, and everyone was convinced by the two of them.
Furthermore, if these two people had not appeared in time and driven the tiger away, many people would have died at the hands of the tiger.
These rewards and awards are what they deserve.
Under the envious gazes of many contestants, Zhou Ying and Zhou Zeyan excitedly knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
Soon, palace servants presented the Liuguang bow, the precious sword, and other rewards one by one.
Zhou Zeyan looked at the precious sword in front of him with surprise. The sword was exquisitely crafted and full of nobility. But this was not just a work of art for viewing, but a precious sword that could cut iron like mud.
Princess Lejia and Zhou Ying were all looking at the Liuguang bow bestowed by the emperor. The bow looked like flowing light and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary object. No wonder it was named Liuguang bow.
"Aying, why don't we find some time to try out this bow."
Princess Lejia had heard of this Liuguang bow a long time ago, but this was the first time she saw it.
Zhou Ying: "Okay, when you have rested, we will use this bow to go hunting."
Shen Huazheng also wanted to go forward and touch the Liuguang bow, but An Desheng came to her with a smile.
"May I have a word with you, Lord?"
Shen Huazheng: “…Of course you can.”
The rankings of this hunt have been posted. Some of the people present are looking at the precious sword and the Liuguang bow, while others are looking at the rankings.
Shen Huazheng and An Desheng walked out of the crowd and came to a relatively quiet place.
"Eunuch An, please speak."
An Desheng still smiled and said: "Last time, the county lady gave the prince some food, and the prince was filial and took the initiative to present some to Your Majesty."
Shen Huazheng: …
Did the prince present it to His Majesty on his own initiative, or was he forced to leave?
An Desheng continued, "Your Majesty... particularly likes the lollipops inside. Your Majesty thinks that the candy balls are either refreshing or sweet and sour, and can refresh the mind and relieve fatigue. It would be great if you can eat one or two while handling official business. I specially asked the servant to ask if the county lady has any more?"
Chen Huazheng: "...Yes, I just don't know if Your Majesty has any particular favorite flavors."
Andersen: "Your Majesty likes peach and strawberry flavors. Mint milk is also fine if available."
Shen Huazheng: …
His Majesty has quite unique tastes. He likes peach and strawberry flavored lollipops the most, and mint milk is a close second.
…
When Emperor Jingning saw Andy Cheng coming back with a smile on his face and a food box in his hand, he knew that he was going to get the lollipop.
He put down the teacup and asked, "What expressions did the Zhou family's brother and sister have when they saw my reward? Are they happy?"
Originally, the rewards for this hunting competition did not include the precious sword and the Liuguang bow, but only some ordinary rewards.
But later, Emperor Jingning learned about the dangerous situation in the forest at that time, and also knew that Zhou Ying and Zhou Zeyan, brother and sister, had ignored the dissuasion and went back to look for Princess Lejia and shot the tiger.
The brother and sister of the Zhou family are not only brave and resourceful, but also affectionate and loyal.
It's really rare.
An Desheng: "Your Majesty's grace, the Zhou siblings are naturally grateful."
As he said that, he placed the food box given by Shen Huazheng in front of Emperor Jingning.
"Your Majesty, this was given by Lady Yinghua."
Emperor Jingning hummed and opened the food box.
Inside was a pile of round lollipops, crowded together and filling up the room.
Andersen added at the right time: "Your Majesty, the county lady said that these flavors are distinguished by small ropes outside. The pink one is peach flavor, the scarlet one is strawberry flavor, and the green one is mint milk."
Emperor Jingning smiled with satisfaction: "She is very careful."
He picked up a lollipop, peeled off the brown paper, and suddenly looked at Andy Andrews.
"If I remember correctly, Zhou Ying is Zhou Cheng'an's daughter."
An Desheng: "Your Majesty has a good memory. Miss Zhou is indeed Zhou Cheng'an's daughter."
Emperor Jingning pondered for a moment, then put the pink sugar ball into his mouth. The fruity aroma of peach immediately filled his entire mouth.
…
In the bank account
"…I was almost scared to death when I saw the tiger. I almost thought I could never come back. Fortunately, Aying and the others were there."
Princess Lejia ate snacks while telling Shen Huazheng how dangerous the situation was.
Chen Huazheng picked up the teapot and Princess Lejia poured a cup of jasmine tea.
"Aning, everything is fine now. Let's not think about those terrible experiences. I will make you something delicious today."
When Princess Lejia heard that there was something delicious, her eyes lit up immediately: "What to eat?"
Chen Huazheng smiled and said, "Didn't you guys hunt a lot of prey? How about I make mint venison for you? And stir-fried rabbit meat."
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Lejia and Zhou Ying, who was quietly eating snacks nearby, spoke up.
"Deer with mint?"
"Mint can be cooked with venison?"
They can probably guess how stir-fried rabbit is made, but how is mint cooked with venison? ?
No, I should say, how are mint and venison connected?
It can actually be made into a dish.
Previously, at the housewarming banquet of the county lady's mansion, they had eaten the fried mint made by Chen Huazheng, but that was just an appetizer and a separate dish.
This is different from making a dish with venison.
Princess Lejia looked at Chen Huazheng: "Zhengzheng, can mint really be used in cooking?"
She always felt that dishes made with mint and venison had a strange taste.
Chen Huazheng smiled mysteriously: “You will know when the time comes. Mint can not only be cooked with venison, but also made into delicacies with other ingredients.”
[Deer meat with mint is super delicious, and there is more than one way to cook it. In addition to venison, mint can be cooked with many other meats. Even adding mint leaves to hot pot will make the taste completely different. ]
Zhou Ying:
She eats whatever Zheng'er cooks.
Anyway, it must be delicious.
Princess Lejia: ()
Great, time to save some mint leaves.
