Xiang Anbang had indeed changed, but his change did not come from himself, but from another woman. There was endless joy in his eyes. He was very surprised to see Princess Zhaoyang, so he could not hide the smile on his face at all.
Xiang Dingguo went up to Zhaoyang and started a conversation. "Zhaoyang, are you here to see me?"
Princess Zhaoyang scratched her head and said, "No, I'm here to look for Miss Mo and Miss Su."
The two girls, Su Mo, were the ones she planned to take to Mobei to open a branch hospital. They must not be ruined because of the Xiang Mansion incident. Mobei needed advanced cultural knowledge as well as advanced medical knowledge.
Miss Mo is well-versed in history and current events, and has extensive knowledge. She can be said to be an enlightenment and a solution for the children in Mobei.
Miss Su has superb medical skills and can train a large number of excellent doctors for Mobei.
Princess Zhaoyang came to Kyoto to recruit talents, not for romance. Although she was a woman, she had great ambitions, dared to take risks, and dared to fight.
Princess Zhaoyang is just like her people, warm and cheerful like a little sun. She is good at talking to different people, and knows how to change the topic in time, divert attention and ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Miss Su, your acupuncture skills have improved again. Let me learn a few tricks from you."
Zhaoyang Palace was chatting with Miss Su, while Mo Qiqi stood aside, carrying the medicine box for Miss Mo.
It looked like the three of them were planning to leave together.
Xiang Anbang invited Princess Zhaoyang to have a drink with him, but Princess Zhaoyang used the excuse that she had something to do and did not accept her invitation.
The three of them returned to the Sanfei Academy together, and Princess Zhaoyang recruited Su Mo and the other girl, hoping that they would go to Mobei with her.
The two did not agree immediately but said they would ask for the opinions of Concubine Chen and Concubine Mei.
Concubine Chen had already drafted the charter of the Mobei branch and the list of accompanying lecturers, and Concubine Mei also handed the prepared course schedules for each subject to Zhaoyang.
"Zhaoyang, learning never ends. I hope that after you return to Mobei, you can pass on the teaching philosophy of Sanfei Academy."
Princess Zhaoyang left, accompanied by twelve lecturers, including Miss Mo and Miss Su. Prince Yimu rode ahead, followed by a large team of carriages.
Princess Zhaoyang did not say goodbye to the Xiang brothers when she left. Xiang Anbang did not know the news of Princess Zhaoyang's departure from Beijing until he changed shifts.
Xiang Anbang came galloping over on his steed. Miss Su teased him, "Hey, Qiqi, your suitor has come to see you off."
Su Qiqi smiled and said, "Second Master Xiang is not here to see me off, but to see the princess off."
Su Qiqi's estimation was correct. Xiang Anbang came here to send Princess Zhaoyang off.
Xiang Anbang caught up with Princess Zhaoyang's carriage, carrying two pots of good wine. Princess Zhaoyang got off the carriage, and the two of them chatted with each other.
"Zhaoyang, the wine in Mobei is delicious. The last time we drank together on the mountaintop, I'll never forget the taste of the wine. Why are you going back to Kyoto?"
"Maybe three months, maybe three years, or maybe never come back."
“What a shame.”
"Would you like to go back to Mobei with me?"
"I don't know. I can't make up my mind. I have to go back and ask my grandmother."
"Okay, then go back and ask. I'll wait for you."
Xiang Anbang ran all the way to chase Princess Zhaoyang. After catching up with her, the two of them didn't say a few words. He then ran home again. His horse couldn't withstand the running and fell down halfway.
He traded the jade pendant for an old horse, and then returned to Xiang Mansion. The old lady suffered from hemiplegia and could not speak.
There was a letter on the table with a line of words written on it: "My foolish brother is leaving. Don't write to me, don't think about me, and don't forget me."
After asking, he found out that Xiang Dingguo had gone to pursue Princess Zhaoyang. Xiang Anbang hurriedly sent someone to investigate, and the servant came back to report the news.
"The eldest son went to Mobei with Princess Zhaoyang."
My parents are far away from their homeland, my grandmother is paralyzed, and my brother left home in search of love.
The banner of the Xiang family was completely placed on his shoulders. Xiang Anbang seemed to have aged ten years overnight. He was no longer as careless as he used to be, but had become mature and steady.
He used to be rebellious and unruly, but now he is peaceful and humble.
Concubine Chen often said that Madam Xiang fell ill at the right time. If Madam Xiang had not fallen ill, Xiang Anbang would never have had such an awareness.
Mei Fei waved towards the courtyard gate: "Anbang, go buy me two boxes of sweet cakes."
Xiang Anbang got the message and ran very fast. The past years had long gone and could not be retrieved. He had to look forward to the future.
The cakes bought by Xiang Anbang arrived at the Cining Palace after many twists and turns.
Gu Yinwei doesn't like sweets, so Gu Yingxia and Gu Mengjun shared the meal.
The pastries are soft, glutinous and sweet. It is worthy of being a time-honored brand that has been passed down for several generations. The taste is authentic.
"The cooking skills of the people in the palace are getting worse and worse. I don't like eating at all. I still prefer food outside the palace."
Gu Yingxia ate while sighing.
Gu Mengjun said, "Why don't we come up with a new pastry recipe?"
The two foodies immediately agreed, "Your idea is great. Let's go research a new recipe."
People from the Imperial Household Department continuously delivered flour, raisins, peanuts, walnuts and other items. The entire Cining Palace almost turned into a kitchen. The two concubines only did three things all day long: the first was kneading dough, the second was rolling noodles, and the third was making pastries.
The people who made the cakes were the two concubines, and the people who ate the cakes were the palace maids and eunuchs of the Cining Palace.
"Ah Qing, are the cakes delicious?"
Ah Qing nodded repeatedly, not wanting to discourage the two concubines: "It's delicious, really delicious."
"If it tastes good, eat more. Come, I'll give you another piece."
Ah Qing held a plate of pastries and her expression looked uglier than crying.
There were two sparrows hiding in the tree. Ah Qing broke some cakes to feed the birds, but the birds didn't eat them.
