Chapter 409 Value
The princess would not let Chen Wan down for her filial piety. She immediately asked Mother Zhao to open the food box, picked up a piece and tasted it, and said with a smile, "Not bad, it suits your mother's appetite better than the cakes in the mansion."
Shen Wan said, "If my mother likes it, I can ask the imperial kitchen to send more later."
It was so easy for Xie Jingyu to ask for the imperial edict, and it was just a matter of a word to ask the imperial kitchen to help make some cakes and send them over.
Seeing the princess taste all kinds of cakes, Xie Jingyu felt very uncomfortable.
Why did my mother end up in Ning Dynasty and be married off by the Jiang family to my father who had become blind due to poisoning? Even after twenty years, my father did not dare to let my mother be seen by the people of Dongliang. He even suppressed my mother's preferences. Only when she was sick and had no appetite, he would bring back some Dongliang pastries for her to taste.
Thinking about the dishes in the small kitchen of Liuliyuan that he didn't like to eat, his father liked them but only picked up a chopstick, but his mother liked them very much, he now thought that they were most likely Dongliang dishes.
Before leaving, Xie Jingyu asked Mother Zhao about it. Although Mother Zhao was puzzled by the question, she answered without hesitation, "Those dishes were made when the princess was pregnant with the prince. She had severe morning sickness and couldn't eat. The prince specially found many recipes and asked the kitchen to make them for the princess. There are a few that the princess particularly likes. She has made them almost every day over the years, and she is a little tired of them."
No need to ask, it must be my father who mixed the Dongliang dishes into the Ning Dynasty menu and sent them to Liuliyuan.
Most people have never tasted Dongliang cuisine, and even if they have, they don’t know it. Liuliyuan doesn’t allow outsiders to dine there, so even he was kept in the dark.
But the more cautious the prince was, the more uneasy Xie Jingyu became.
After Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu left, Mother Zhao returned to the room. The princess was distracted by the cakes on the small table. Mother Zhao walked in and said with a smile, "The prince dotes on the princess, and the prince is also very filial to the princess."
The princess smiled and said, "What did Yu'er do?"
Mother Zhao said, "The prince knows that the prince took a bunch of recipes a few years ago and asked the kitchen to cook for the princess to taste. The prince said that he would find some recipes in a few days."
The princess has always known that Yu'er is filial.
However, the pastries that the Crown Princess brought back from the palace today tasted similar to the ones that the Prince brought back for her when she had a poor appetite.
The cakes that the Crown Prince's Consort could bring back must be rarely made in the palace and must be so rare.
Today's palace banquet is a return banquet for Prince Ling and Princess Heshun, and also a welcome banquet for the envoys from Dongliang.
This pastry... could it be the Dongliang flavor... ?
They are all from Ning Dynasty, so why does she like Dongliang pastries so much?
Looking at the pastries on the plate, the princess's thoughts drifted away.
Chen Wan walked a lot today and was a little tired. She was carried back to Zhaolanxuan by Xie Jingyu. She was very sleepy and went to sleep as soon as she got home.
I slept until sunset and woke up after my belly became visible. There is one good thing: no matter how long I slept during the day, it would not affect my sleep at night.
She slept so soundly that even if she was carried out and sold in the middle of the night, she wouldn't wake up.
Have a good night's sleep.
After waking up early in the morning, Chen Wan sat on the bed and stretched. Shanhu Yinchuan came into the room to help her wash up, and then she had breakfast with Xie Jingyu.
After breakfast, Shen Wan went to pay her respects to the princess. Having nothing to do, she cut a lot of branches in the garden and came back to arrange the flowers.
Just as he was busy, Chun'er came in and said, "Crown Princess, the fourth lady and the fourth lady from the Duke of Wei's Mansion are here."
Shen Wan put down the branches and scissors in his hand and stood up to greet him.
When I walked out of the hospital, I saw Xie Zhiyao and Wei Mingzhu walking towards me from afar.
Seeing Shen Wan, Wei Mingzhu smiled widely, and when she approached, she said, "Yesterday in the palace, I wanted to talk to you for a while, but in the end I couldn't say a word."
Chen Wan arrived late and went to see Eunuch An again when she left. Wei Mingzhu waited for a while at the horse ranch, but left when no one showed up.
Xie Zhiyao said, "Then I asked you to come to the Jingbei Palace, but you are still not happy?"
Wei Mingzhu said, "I'm not unhappy, I'm just afraid..."
Come to an abrupt end.
Shen Wan smiled and said, "What are you afraid of?"
Wei Mingzhu shook his head quickly.
But she didn't say anything, so Xie Zhiyao sold her out directly, leaning close to Shen Wan's ear and whispering, "She's afraid of running into the Prince of Yuzhang..."
Shen Wan, “…”
This shows how much he doesn't want to see Prince Yuzhang.
But this is all the fault of Prince Yuzhang himself.
He threw Wei Mingzhu into the water, breaking up his marriage, and then fell in love with her and hung around her every day. This made Wei Mingzhu, a girl who felt uncomfortable if she didn't go shopping for a day, so angry that she gave up her shopping habit abruptly. It was really unheard of.
Shen Wan smiled and said, "We meet so frequently, could it be that Prince Yuzhang likes you?"
Shen Wan didn't dare to say it directly, so she could only be tactful.
As a result, Xie Zhiyao looked at Shen Wan with a ghostly expression.
Wei Mingzhu even reached out to touch Chen Wan's forehead, "You're not sick."
Shen Wan, “…”
Shen Wan said, "I think it's possible."
Wei Mingzhu looked terrified, "Don't scare me, I can't be so unlucky."
Shen Wan, “…”
Seeing that Wei Mingzhu was really frightened, Shen Wan wanted to beat up the Prince of Yuzhang.
Wei Mingzhu finally came, and Chen Wan didn't want to spoil her fun. She never mentioned the Prince of Yuzhang again. Knowing that Chen Wan was arranging flowers, Wei Mingzhu and Xie Zhiyao both became interested.
Chen Wan simply asked Yinchuan to take Chun'er and the others to the garden to cut more branches, and the three of them competed to see who could arrange the flowers more beautifully.
After arranging flowers, drinking tea, and trying cakes, they took a walk in the garden. Wei Mingzhu said goodbye and Xie Zhiyao saw her out of the house.
Chen Wan returned to Zhaolanxuan, entered the yard and saw Chen Ping walking towards the study, so Chen Wan went to the study.
Chen Ping left home early in the morning and sent Fu'an to Eunuch An's house to meet Eunuch Li.
When Chen Ping came back, he knew whether Eunuch Li was the uncle Fu'an was looking for.
When he reached the door of the study, he heard Chen Ping's voice, "Master, Eunuch Li is the family member Fu'an is looking for..."
Shen Wan walked in, and Chen Ping saluted Shen Wan and continued, "Eunuch Li was very excited to see his nephew. He knew that Fu'an was saved by the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. He was very grateful and asked me to express my gratitude on his behalf."
Shen Wan was happy for Fuan in her heart, "Fuan left with Eunuch Li?"
Chen Ping nodded. "Eunuch Li asked Fu'an to live in his house outside the palace. Fu'an still has some things to pack. He said he would come to the palace tomorrow to express his gratitude to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
Although Chen Ping felt it was unnecessary, the Crown Princess valued Fu'an very much, so Chen Ping did not stop her.
The next morning, Fuan came to Zhaolanxuan and knelt down to kowtow to Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu to express his gratitude.
If it weren't for Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu, he would have been castrated and turned into a eunuch, and their Li family would have been completely extinct.
This is also the reason why Eunuch Li is extremely grateful to Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu. Even though he is a eunuch, he hopes that his descendants will burn incense and worship him after his death.
Back then, Eunuch Li voluntarily sold himself to the human traffickers for the sake of his family. He always valued the relationship between family members. More than 20 years have passed, and his family has not forgotten him. His only nephew traveled thousands of miles to Beijing, suffered a lot, and almost followed in his footsteps. How could Eunuch Li not be moved?
Eunuch Li was willing to lose his life for his nephew.
Chen Wan helped Fu'an out of gratitude for the kindness Fu'an had shown her in her previous life when he had collected her ashes, kept her company and talked to her while she was buried under the tree. He also helped Fu'an find his family, thus repaying the kindness of her previous life.
Fu'an was taken in by his own uncle, and it would be difficult for him to see him again in the future. Chen Wan gave him a small courtyard with two entrances, thirty acres of fertile land, and two hundred taels of silver.
Fu An was shocked by the amount of things and finally had the courage to ask the question he had been wondering for a long time, "Jing, why are the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess of Jingbei so nice to me?"
They are not related in any way.
