Chapter 341 Battle Report

After returning to the palace, Yu Zheng asked someone to call the chef to discuss with him in person.

The chef was very knowledgeable and received a large reward. He readily wrote down the recipe for the mushroom soup white jade pills.

After the chef left, Yu Zheng ordered Zhu Feng: "You must personally hand over the recipe to Prince Yu."

"Yes." Zhu Feng took the order and left.

This small task was not difficult to complete.

On the way back from Prince Rong's Palace, Zhu Feng passed by the noisy street and saw various shops on the street. He turned around and walked into Linglong Pavilion.

Zhuiyun was getting married, and he had to prepare a gift.

Unlike other shops, Linglong Pavilion had everything.

Zhu Feng walked around for a while and picked a set of fine celadon tea sets.

Zhuiyun was assigned a small courtyard, and needed to buy furniture and utensils, so a set of tea sets was just right.

Zhufeng paid the money and asked the waiter to pack it.

While waiting, Zhufeng heard a couple behind him choosing jewelry.

"This hairpin is so beautiful, it will definitely look good on the lady."

"But I like this one."

"Then try them all, and buy them if you like them."

Zhufeng looked back.

The entire shelf was filled with jewelry, including hairpins, bracelets...

Zhufeng hesitated for a moment, then walked over.

Zhufeng, who had never bought jewelry before, was dazzled by the sight and didn't know how to choose.

The woman saw his confusion and kindly suggested, "Young Master, you can choose according to the personality and preferences of the person you are sending it to."

Zhufeng thanked him and carefully recalled Leng Xing's daily outfit, excluding those gorgeous and eye-catching hairpins and bracelets.

Finally, Zhufeng's eyes fell on a silver hairpin.

The silver hairpin had a simple pattern, and the end of the hairpin was inlaid with light green jade. From a distance, it looked like stars or glowing fireflies.

Zhufeng found it interesting and reached out to pick it up.

Coming out of Linglong Pavilion, Zhufeng's mouth curled up slightly, and his steps were brisk, obviously in a good mood.

After returning to the palace to report to Yu Zheng, Zhufeng looked around the yard, but did not see Leng Xing.

He asked Shuanghua, "Where is Leng Xing?"

Shuanghua said, "The princess will not leave the house in the afternoon. She gave Leng Xing a day off and let her rest."

Upon hearing this, Zhufeng had to give up for the time being.

Anyway, they see each other every day, so he can send her off tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, Yu Zheng assigned him a task the next day and asked him to go on a long journey.

This time he was gone for ten days.

In the blink of an eye, it was October. On the first day of the month, Jiang Shu brought Yu Ziyou to the palace to pay respects.

"Ziyou has grown up." Concubine Yu held Yu Ziyou and couldn't get enough of him.

The child, who was more than two months old, could already make squeaks and simple interactions, which made the emperor very happy.

Concubine Yu found it funny and talked to Jiang Shu about Yu Lan.

"Have you seen her recently?"

Because the pregnancy was not stable, Yu Lan and her family of three did not come to pay respects.

Jiang Shu said, "I went there two days ago, and my sister's morning sickness symptoms have eased a lot."

After hearing this, Concubine Yu was relieved and said, "It's not easy to have twins. I'm afraid she will have to suffer more."

No matter how noble one is, the sin of pregnancy and childbirth cannot be avoided.

Jiang Shu didn't know how to comfort her, and only said that Zhou Boxu would take good care of Yu Lan.

Concubine Yu was not a sentimental person, and she changed the subject after a few words.

After staying in Zhongling Palace for half an hour and having breakfast, Yu Ziyu started crying, so Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng had to take him back home.

After a few days, Zhuiyun and Tanyu's wedding dresses were ready.

The wedding dresses were made by Jiang's Silk Shop and were a gift from Jiang Shu to Zhuiyun and Tanyu.

Tanyu tried them on and found that the size was just right.

Jiang Shu looked at Tan Yu and felt like his sister was about to get married.

Fortunately, the wedding was not far away, so there was no need to be sad, only joy.

The days passed peacefully and steadily.

Zhu Feng came back from outside, and after reporting his mission, he went to find Leng Xing as soon as possible.

However, Leng Xing was talking to Tan Yu and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Zhu Feng had been traveling for several days and was exhausted, so he decided to go back and take a nap.

Anyway, there was still a long time to go, so there was no rush.

On the tenth day of October, Jiang Shu went to Jiang's house to check the accounts with Jiang's father, and the shopkeeper of the winery brought two jars of wine.

"Boss, the fruit wine is brewed."

Jiang's father asked the servants to bring wine glasses, and each of them poured a glass to taste.

"It has a strong fruity aroma, is clear and slightly sweet, and is delicate and delicious." After tasting it, all the shopkeepers praised it.

Jiang Shu also tasted it and thought it was very good.

"If the boss thinks it's okay, we will start selling it tomorrow." The shopkeeper asked with a smile.

Jiang's father nodded: "Every batch of wine must be strictly checked, and no mistakes can be made to ruin Jiang's brand."

"Of course." The shopkeeper agreed.

The people in Beijing who had been waiting for a long time rushed to buy the fruit wine as soon as it was on sale. Especially those who had a banquet at home, they ordered a large number of them.

Jiang Shu asked someone to send a few jars to the palace.

After drinking the milk-reducing soup for a month, she no longer had milk, and her body had recovered, so she could drink it moderately.

The bright moon was hanging high in the sky, and the night was quiet. Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng admired the moon and drank in the courtyard.

"Is it delicious?" Jiang Shu looked expectant.

Yu Zheng put down his wine glass and said gently, "Hmm."

"Then drink more, my husband." Jiang Shu picked up the wine pot and poured Yu Zheng some wine.

Compared with pure wine brewed from grain, fruit wine is not easy to harm the body, so it's okay to drink more.

Yu Zheng looked at her with a gleam in his eyes.

Wine can add to the fun and also aphrodisiac.

Yu Zheng did not refuse and let Jiang Shu pour him one glass after another.

Jiang Shu just thought he liked to drink, until the two of them went to bed, she understood Yu Zheng's plan, and regretted it.

What is this called? This is called shooting oneself in the foot!

When she woke up the next day, Jiang Shu felt sore waist, weak legs, and dry throat.

But Sun Yijun made an appointment with her to visit Yu Lan at the princess's mansion today.

Jiang Shu drank a cup of honey water and got up to wash up.

After packing up, Jiang Shu waited for Yu Zheng to come back for breakfast.

But she waited and waited, and breakfast time was over, and Yu Zheng had not come back yet.

Jiang Shu had a bad feeling in her heart.

At one quarter of the morning, Yu Zheng finally came back, his face was very solemn.

With a jolt in his heart, Jiang Shu asked, "But what happened?"

Yu Zheng pursed his lips and said, "There's a war at the border."

"The Mobei army is invading with fierce force. In just half a month, nearly ten thousand soldiers have been killed."

Jiang Shu felt nervous when he heard this. No wonder he was late today.

From the border to Shangjing, even if you ride the fastest horse and travel day and night, it will take at least ten days for the battle report to reach Shangjing.

So when the court received the battle report, the situation at the border must have become more serious.

Yu Zheng changed out of his court clothes, ate a few bites of breakfast casually, and left the house.

Jiang Shu went to the princess's house alone without Yu Ziyou.

As Jiang Shu expected, Zhou Boxu was not in the house.

"You're finally here. I've been here for a long time." Sun Yijun blamed Jiang Shu for being late.

Jiang Shu looked at Yu Lan, and the two looked at each other, and it was self-evident.

"What are you doing?" Sun Yijun felt that they were hiding something from her.

Yu Lan sighed, "Da Zhao has been so disastrous this year."

Yu Yuan and Prince Rong had no official positions, so they didn't know what was going on in the court, and Sun Yijun didn't know either.

But this kind of thing couldn't be kept secret, and there was no need to hide it, so Yu Lan told Sun Yijun.

"Ah, then isn't it going to war again?" Sun Yijun took a breath in surprise.

Yu Lan Zhen said, "It's already been fought."

"Mobei has wolfish ambitions, I'm afraid it will be a protracted vicious war."
