On the tenth day of May, Yu Zizhen invited Yang Shixian and other classmates who gave her gifts to the royal palace in the capital for entertainment.
Of course, she did not forget the eldest prince who was alone in the deep palace. Before the others came to the house, Yu Zizhen went to the palace specifically and shared the small birthday cake she had exchanged from the system mall with the eldest prince.
This was not the first time that Yu Zizhen had secretly brought food to the eldest prince. The eldest prince did not ask her where the fresh food came from. The two of them avoided other people and quietly divided the palm-sized cake into two.
After finishing the meal, the eldest prince was still blinking his black eyes, savoring the taste with lingering aftertaste.
Yu Zizhen couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth when he saw it, "Is it delicious?"
The eldest prince nodded reservedly, "The taste is very novel."
The soft, slightly sweet cream and cake base, paired with fruits, jams, and dried fruits as embellishments, have a rich yet layered flavor, a novel experience the eldest prince has never had before.
Yu Zizhen smiled, "If you like it, I'll bring it to you later."
Of course, this thing was not made by Yu Zizhen herself, she didn't have the skills.
Fortunately, such a small cream cake is not expensive in the system mall.
The eldest prince knew that she had also invited other people to the Zhenbei Palace for a banquet. After eating the cake and chatting with each other for a few minutes, the eldest prince began to urge Yu Zizhen to go out of the palace to entertain the guests.
Yu Zizhen looked at the sky and felt that the time was almost up, so he nodded with some regret, "When there's a chance in the future, I will definitely take you out of the palace to play."
After bidding farewell to the eldest prince, Yu Zizhen headed straight for the Zhenbei Palace with a clear goal.
There are many servants in the Zhenbei Palace, and she has invited only a few guests, so Yu Zizhen doesn't have to worry about entertaining the guests.
With the palace's chief steward taking the lead, the palace's servants will naturally arrange all matters related to entertaining guests in an orderly manner.
Not long after Yu Zizhen returned to the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion, Fang Huaiying and Yang Shixian arrived one after another.
The two of them were true friends of Yu Zizhen, so they came a little earlier on purpose to see if they could help Yu Zizhen in any way.
Fan Zhongming and Chen Hushan arrived a little later, and they also had a good relationship with Yu Zizhen, but they both knew very well that their "good relationship" could only last until a conflict of interest arose between their camps.
Of course, this does not prevent them from enjoying the happy moment.
There were no elders from various families acting as a tight circle around them in the mansion. There were only the four little guests and the even younger master, Yu Zizhen. The five of them didn't even need to discuss anything with each other. They just ran around like wild monkeys, having a blast in the Zhenbei Palace.
The Zhenbei Palace in the capital is different from the Zhenbei Palace in the northern border. Except for some secrets on Mr. Jiang's side, other places are completely empty. Even Yu Zizhen's own Lu Mingxuan can be completely open to anyone for viewing because she has a cheat called the system warehouse to help her hide things that are not suitable for others to see.
So the group of children took Yu Zizhen's third courtyard as their starting point and went all the way to the big garden next to the third courtyard, the second courtyard, the fourth courtyard and the fifth courtyard where there were only a few servants looking after the house, and several experimental fields set up by Yu Zizhen on the other side of the third courtyard.
First, they visited the martial arts training ground next to Yu Zizhen's yard when they passed by, and each of them went down to the field to pick up their favorite weapons and practiced a few times. Then they admired the scenery of the palace garden and the architectural complex of the palace. Finally, at Yu Zizhen's instigation, they went into the experimental field with her and listened to her talk about farming.
They didn't know what they were thinking, but they somehow accompanied Yu Zizhen to the fields.
Yu Zizhen introduced to them the new composting method she was trying, and also said that she would continue to improve agricultural tools and select good varieties in the subsequent farming process.
She kept talking, and the four children were all dazzled by her unfamiliar words.
Although it cannot be said that they have always lived a life of luxury and have never suffered any hardship, the hardships they have suffered all came from studying, martial arts and other things that their elders wanted them to be exposed to.
Farming and the like are really beyond the scope of the four people's defense.
The four people, who had never expected that their friend actually had such a bizarre hobby, had complicated expressions on their faces. Like Mr. Jiang and others, they did not believe that Yu Zizhen, this little bean sprout, could really come up with any new method of composting.
As for improving agricultural tools and selecting good varieties, this was definitely not something that Yu Zizhen, the prince of Zhenbei who had never been involved in farming, could accomplish.
Everyone had mixed feelings, but thankfully Yu Zizhen didn't talk for too long. After briefly sharing his ambitions with everyone, he led them back to Lumingxuan.
As everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they hurriedly and tacitly began to arrange to play games together.
Judging from his attitude, he was simply afraid that Yu Zizhen would continue to talk about farming.
Yu Zizhen shook her head helplessly. Was she willing to tell them? Wasn't she worried that if she kept it secret, their curiosity would be piqued?
Rather than letting them have wild guesses or even send people to investigate secretly, she might as well lay everything out in the open.
Anyway, she didn't really expect to do any research on those experimental fields. She planned to buy her new composting method and the improved drawings of agricultural tools directly from the system mall.
When she has her own territory, she will also exchange the method of breeding good varieties and hand it over to trustworthy people who really have this talent, such as Jiang Yunshan, or some famous farmers to slowly cultivate them.
Thinking of this, Yu Zizhen tactfully stopped mentioning her experimental field.
She played games with her four little guests for a while. As it was getting dark, she had dinner delivered to herself, Fang Huaiying and others.
Dinner was a little lighter than lunch, but the thick soup cooked by Madam Zhang was so delicious that everyone almost fought over it.
Fortunately, the amount she prepared was enough for the five of them to drink to their heart's content, otherwise Yu Zizhen would have to witness with his own eyes what "a bowl of thick soup caused a bloody murder" meant.
Before the sun set, Fang Huaiying and others got on the carriages, accompanied by their respective guards, attendants and servants, and returned to their respective mansions in a mighty procession.
After a hard day, Yu Zizhen did not continue to take the lead in internal competition. After washing up, she lay there lazily, listening to Madam Zhang report all the expenses of the day to her.
When she entertained guests at her mansion, the expenses were paid from the palace's public account, so she didn't have to worry about that. However, the money for extra dishes for all the servants and guards in the palace, as well as Mr. Jiang and Chef Bai, the money for rewards to the kitchen staff who had doubled their workload, and the money for rewards from the people under her name who gave her gifts, all had to be paid from her private account.
But even so, overall she still made a lot of money. After all, the three people in the palace gave her valuable gifts to show their concern.
