Chapter 705: How did General Sheng stand up?
"This is medicine. What if something happens to the princess after she drinks it?"
"Keep your voice down. Who in Kyoto dares to mess with Jiang Wan now?"
"The eldest princess is the emperor's elder, who dares to offend her?"
“…”
Everyone firmly believed that only sick people should take medicine, and the eldest princess was not deaf to these voices.
But she still took a sip of the soup slowly, and the next second her eyes lit up.
"It tastes really good, Duanhe, you should try it too."
"good."
Duanhe did not doubt Jiang Wan at all, and the same went for Madam Song and the others. Even Song Jiuli glanced at Madam Song and himself.
She acted coquettishly to Jiang Wan, "Sister Wanwan, why do I feel that mother's smells better than mine?"
"What nonsense! Wanwan would never do that."
Madam Song laughed and scolded her, "Wanwan must have seen that I have been worrying about you lately and I am exhausted both physically and mentally, but I prepared this specially for you."
"Yes, Madam is feeling a little weak, so I made this Shouwu, Guiqi, and Black Chicken Soup specially for you."
Jiang Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to Song Jiuli: "As for you and Chuchu, they are just ordinary lotus seed beauty soup."
“I can’t wait to try it.”
Song Jiuli chuckled and started drinking from the bowl like a cow chewing a peony. The way he wolfed down the food made everyone laugh and cry.
But it made everyone start to feel greedy.
Could it be that the medicinal food that Jiang Wan made is really that amazing?
"Don't you want to try it?"
The princess finished a small bowl of soup. It was so comfortable to drink a bowl of soup in such cold weather.
"Although it is called medicinal food, it is actually food that everyone eats regularly."
Jiang Wan explained with a smile, "For example, lotus leaf, hawthorn and coix seed soup can help you lose weight and beautify yourself.
Red bean and chrysanthemum tea can also detoxify and nourish the skin, and peach kernel, lily and oatmeal porridge can nourish yin and promote blood circulation..."
Jiang Wan talked cheerfully. Listening to her words, everyone couldn't help but be moved. They opened the earthen jars in front of them one after another.
Wisps of fragrance drifted across the banquet, and everyone sniffed it with caution.
“It does smell nice.”
"It seems that it's not all medicinal herbs. They drink it so deliciously. Shall we try it too?"
"Jiang Wan treated the late emperor before, so he should have some skills."
“…”
When everyone was discussing, an inappropriate voice sounded, "If we drink your medicinal food.
What if something goes wrong? Can the princess handle it?"
Jiang Wan looked over and was met with a pair of unfamiliar eyes and a face that was extremely unfamiliar to her.
"Sister Wanwan, this is Liu Jiameng, the daughter of the Dali Temple official, who is determined to become the queen."
Song Jiuli whispered in Jiang Wan's ear to remind her, but Jiang Wan sensed hostility from the other party, so she said loudly:
"If anyone gets sick after drinking this medicinal food, I will take the responsibility!"
Because they didn't know the physical condition of the people who came today, except for those Jiang Wan was familiar with, everyone was given a simpler medicinal diet.
Jiang Wan was sure that they would not have any problems from drinking.
"The princess is quite confident."
Liu Jiameng snorted coldly, seeming a little dissatisfied with Jiang Wan, but still picked up the bowl and tasted the soup.
The taste was unexpectedly good, and she couldn't help but feel depressed.
"Not bad. I feel warm all over after drinking it."
"Our cook has made this soup before, but it didn't taste this good."
"If it really can beautify the skin, I would like to drink more."
“…”
Everyone was talking about it and was obviously very satisfied with the medicinal food. Liu Jiameng wanted to find fault with it.
What made her irritable was that she couldn't seem to find any fault at all.
Because Jiang Wan's banquet was prepared very carefully, in addition to the medicinal food, the servants in the mansion also served candied apples.
I even made several desserts with apples, which looked exquisite and delicious.
I have to say, when it comes to eating, no one in the whole Kyoto can compare to Jiang Wan.
"tasty."
Song Jiuli puffed her cheeks, and Chu Qi couldn't help but remind her in a low voice: "Li'er, I think I saw General Sheng."
"Where is that?"
Song Jiuli quickly swallowed the apple in her mouth, her eyes brightened a little, and Mrs. Song couldn't help but glare at her.
"Right outside."
Chu Qi lowered his voice and said, "The men's seat is next door."
She actually missed Song Jiuchi a little.
The two lowered their voices and whispered to each other, but Liu Jiameng didn't want to let Jiang Wan go. She deliberately said:
"Princess, everyone knows that medicine is poisonous. Can we take medicine casually?"
"Miss Liu."
Jiang Wan explained calmly: "I have already explained it just now, many of the foods we eat can also be used as medicine.
Don't you eat these foods? I'm a doctor, and these prescriptions are carefully considered, not just random combinations. "
"I……"
Liu Jiameng was speechless after hearing what Jiang Wan said and suddenly felt annoyed.
At this moment, someone exclaimed, "Hey, is that the Regent?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here too!"
“…”
Not far away, Song Jiuyuan brought the emperor in bright yellow clothes and many young men from aristocratic families and leisurely went to the nearby Merlin.
Jiang Wan finally stood up and said politely to the Princess and Madam Song, “I have planted many plum trees in my house.
The flowers are in full bloom right now, you can go and have a look together."
"I haven't seen plum blossoms for a long time. I want to go and see them."
The eldest princess stood up first, and Jiang Wan and Duan He supported her on the left and right. When the others heard that the emperor was also coming, their faces flushed with excitement.
Most of the people who attended the banquet were unmarried girls, and there were also many people who were trying their best to enter the palace.
They don't have many opportunities to meet the emperor on weekdays, so they are naturally impatient at this moment.
When Jiang Wan and the others went out, the plum forest was already filled with young masters from the aristocratic families of Kyoto.
Song Jiuli and Chu Qi looked at each other, then quietly slipped away, planning to meet their young lovers.
"Li'er, help me up."
Mrs. Song had already anticipated her thoughts and grabbed Song Jiuli who was about to run away, making Jiang Wan laugh and smile.
Everyone hurriedly saluted the emperor, and the emperor personally helped the eldest princess up, "Aunt, get up quickly."
After saying this, he nodded slightly to Jiang Wan, "Sister, I am very satisfied with the banquet you organized. The medicinal food is delicious."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Wan bowed slightly. Liu Jiameng, who was not far away, was so angry that her eyes turned red. The emperor really treated Jiang Wan differently!
Is she really her sister or does she have other thoughts?
"I still have official business to attend to, so I won't stay any longer."
The emperor looked at Jiang Wan deeply and said, "I will send someone to deliver some necessary luggage for your trip to you later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift."
Jiang Wan was touched. The emperor made time for her, which was a way to give her face and support.
He is also telling everyone that he is protecting her!
"Wanwan, I'll go see the emperor off."
Song Jiuyuan followed the emperor quickly, and their figures soon disappeared in Merlin.
The girls followed them with shy and timid eyes, which was quite regrettable.
As they walked away, they could only focus their attention on the other noblemen present, and they didn't know who exclaimed.
"That... isn't that General Sheng? Why is he standing up?!"
"Oh my god, you are not mistaken, it is really General Sheng."
"Is his leg okay?"
