Chapter 64
Li Ruiyuan's birthday.
Su Yinyin thought over and over again about what food to prepare for the birthday party.
As I was thinking about it, I took out the previous box and finally saw the seal in the corner.
Sure enough, it was the same as the one in Li Ruiyuan's hand.
It was not until the end of Li Xing and Li Yuqing’s wedding banquet that a list was finally drawn up.
The above are all the things she and Li Ruiyuan like to eat.
Su Yinyin also took out the seal and gently stamped it on the list.
No wonder everyone likes to use stamps, it is really convenient.
Su Yinyin just felt that the seal in her hand was cute no matter how she looked at it.
I couldn't help but take it in my hands and play with it carefully.
The more you look, the more details you'll discover.
This seal not only has butterfly patterns on the sides, but also butterfly wings on the bottom edge.
Li Ruiyuan likes butterflies so much?
He liked to give himself butterfly-shaped things, but he didn't expect that he would like it so much.
After the wedding of Li Xing and Li Yuqing was done, the next thing to do was to arrange the wedding of Miss Du and Sun Dongjun.
The two of them will be Miss Du's family members to arrange the wedding.
But since they were still young, Madam Su took the initiative to help.
Happy events come one after another, and Su Xian and Lan Niang’s wedding is probably coming soon.
Some people also asked, saying that Lan Niang’s family was in trouble, so why did it have to be her?
The Su family said, "It's not easy for a little girl like her to make it. Our family isn't a very powerful family. As long as the child likes it, that's fine."
Su Xian is a man of few words, but he is very good at judging people, and he will never make mistakes when he identifies someone.
When the news spread, other people didn't mind, but Miss Meng, who was about to get married, couldn't believe it.
The Meng family is having a hard time now. Their shops are closing one after another, and many of their good friends and relatives are staying away from them.
The name of false accusation is unpleasant enough, and it was revealed.
Zhang Zhubu of the West City Yamen caused trouble for them every day and his reputation became ruined.
These have already caused them trouble, and they thought that losing money would avoid disaster, but they did not expect that they lost money and could not avoid disaster.
In this year's assessment by the Ministry of Personnel, the two officials of the Meng family will most likely only get lower grades.
They also wanted to ask their fellow townsmen who worked in the Eastern Palace for mercy and give them another chance to investigate the silver mine.
But the people from the Eastern Palace stayed away, for fear of getting involved with the Meng family.
There were also some murmurs in Miss Meng's fiancé's family, but in the end they did not fall out and the marriage went on as usual.
This is also the biggest happy event in his family.
Being an official is of low rank.
The family's shops kept closing down.
The government office is still involved in lawsuits.
Many people say that your family is unlucky this year.
But his family knew the reason very well.
When the two brothers of the Meng family saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the Su family, they knew they had picked the wrong person.
Mr. Meng even cursed the eldest son of the Meng family. If nothing else, if he could facilitate the marriage between Miss Meng and Su Xian, then his family would definitely be safe.
It's just a simple matter, why make enemies?
Even if the marriage doesn't work out.
Wouldn't it be better for Meng San to have a good relationship with Su Xian and then try to please Su Yinyin?
Unfortunately, due to their arrogant attitude, they slowly moved towards the worst outcome.
This incident was not accidental. This kind of behavior of habitually insulting those below you will always hit a wall.
But unfortunately this time, I kicked the spot that I shouldn't have kicked.
The Meng family knew that the Su family would surely prosper, but now they heard that their eldest son, Su Xian, was actually going to marry a woman who made pastries.
The woman came from a farming family and her whole family was poor. Although there were a few officials in the clan, they had nothing to do with the woman's parents.
Su Xian actually fell in love with her?
It looks like the marriage is approaching.
Miss Meng was obviously the most devastated.
The person she likes is not only well-educated and has good character, but also has a family that knows an important person.
If my family didn't try to stop me, maybe I could have succeeded.
This already made her feel upset.
Now telling her that the person she is going to marry is far inferior to her, this feeling is even more difficult to explain.
And she could no longer deceive herself and say that the marriage failed because her family did not allow it.
Looking at Su Xian's attitude, it is clear that as long as he likes, anyone can do it.
But I just don't like it.
Ask about the woman's situation.
He was sent out to be an apprentice at the age of fifteen. After several years of study, he still had not become a master. After the Wei family went bankrupt, he looked for a job on his own and found the Su family.
He is a resilient person. I heard that he is grateful and he not only stopped the murderer for Su's sister, but also helped to deal with the situation.
The murderer was even sent by himself.
She also said that her family made this good thing happen.
But no matter how much pain she was in, it was useless, everything had nothing to do with her anymore.
This news will inevitably be known to her future husband's family, which will probably cause trouble again.
When these gossips spread out, it was inevitable that some people would wonder if the Su family was really that powerful?
The Meng family’s downfall is all related to her family. Isn’t that too exaggerated?
Even among officials and their families, this matter was mentioned.
There is no wall that is impenetrable.
More and more people learned about the Su family's true powerhouse.
Jin Yanlei, who is still helping to grow beets at the hot spring villa, doesn't know about it yet.
But he vaguely understood that there was something unusual between Su Yinyin and the prince.
Even so, he was still surprised when he saw Su Yinyin at the villa.
"You, you, you, why are you here!" Jin Yanlei shouted.
"Why can't I come?" Su Yinyin said deliberately.
Su Xian also got off the carriage, his face dark the whole time.
The thought of the prince coaxing his sister to the palace again would make her unhappy.
Jin Yanlei could finally ask the question: "What is your relationship with the prince? Are you relatives? Are we relatives too?"
The prince arrived at the palace in mid-October. When he heard that Su Yinyin and the others had arrived, he put down his official duties and came to pick them up, and then he heard Jin Yanlei's words.
Li Ruiyuan said directly: "Childhood sweethearts."
who?
Who follows who?!
Jin Yanlei had a ferocious expression.
What on earth was there that he didn't know?
By now, the matter is no longer a secret.
Those who have served in the palace for a long time even remember Su Yinyin. After she came, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed like a different person.
Before this, the prince had to live in the hot spring palace for half a year every year. Although the emperor and empress would often come, they always felt distressed to see the little child all alone.
Everyone thought that given the prince's situation, it might be like this in the future.
Some even speculated that if the prince lived like this for his entire life, another prince would have to be appointed.
Regardless of his physical condition or psychological reasons, he is not the best choice as heir.
If the emperor and empress hadn't resisted the pressure, someone would have brought it up long ago.
But in that year, Su Yinyin appeared in the palace and took the Crown Prince out.
After that, the prince seldom came over, and when he did, it was obvious that he was in better health.
People outside just thought that the prince was slowly recovering.
The emperor, empress, and people in the palace knew the reason.
So Jin Yanlei discovered that the palace people here were very kind to Su Yinyin, and they were obviously on the same level as the prince.
Why!
Who can help him solve this problem?
Jin Yanlei looked left and right, then sighed: "The capital city has so many secrets!"
But then he realized that the prince had been leaving the palace every few days. Did he go to see Su Yinyin?
Su Yinyin simply explained that they met because of dim sum and became familiar with each other afterwards.
"We meet every few days, share snacks, and celebrate each other's birthdays. Have we been doing this for more than ten years?!" Jin Yanlei instantly understood the expressions of the people in the palace and was even more surprised. "You've been here before?"
Li Ruiyuan didn't say anything, just waited for Su Yinyin to speak.
When Jin Yanlei heard the approximate time, he immediately said, "Crown Prince cousin, is it from that year that you stopped being afraid of the cold?!"
No, it’s not that I’m not afraid of the cold.
We have to go out even if we have to endure the cold.
Because he had a reason to come out.
His childhood sweetheart came to pick her up, so he had to come out.
Su Yinyin opened her mouth slightly.
She knew Li Ruiyuan's previous experiences, knew why he was afraid of the cold, and also knew that he rarely came over after that.
But so many things had happened recently that she didn't even have time to think carefully.
She was a little dumbfounded by what Jin Yanlei said.
That night Li Ruiyuan said she was safe.
Is this the true meaning?
Su Xian's face turned even darker. If he hadn't been taught to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country since childhood, he would have really wanted to pull his sister away right now.
Of course, it was also because he could see how Li Ruiyuan felt about his sister.
If not, my family wouldn’t have accepted it so quickly.
Especially his dad.
After hearing from my mother about Yuan Rui's identity, I couldn't sleep for several nights.
I’m afraid that the prince, who is in a high position, will do something bad.
Once you calm down, you realize that this is not going to happen.
They don’t understand the prince, but don’t they understand Yuan Rui either?
Back then I thought this child was skinny and small, but he was a very good kid.
After my sister calmed down, she obviously thought the same thing.
They don’t know what the future holds.
But again, as long as they are happy, that's all.
Having seen so many young couples break up and get back together, their family doesn't think too much about it.
Su Yinyin and Li Ruiyuan looked at each other. Jin Yanlei couldn't stand it anymore and said sourly, "Little Matchmaker, I noticed that everyone around me is getting married. What about me?"
He can't accept it when he sees others being affectionate.
Especially Li Yuqing and Li Xing, that couple can succeed.
Even Li Yuqing was brought there by him.
Su Yinyin spread her hands and said, "It's hard to say, Tiandu has a destined person!"
It was already very cold outside at the end of October, but it was still warm inside the palace.
Su Yinyin and Li Ruiyuan walked together unconsciously. They hadn't seen each other for more than ten days. Su Yinyin asked, "Have you harvested the beets?"
"It's almost there. There are still five or six days left." Li Ruiyuan smiled. "Will it be cold on the road?"
"Fortunately, it has snowed in the capital. We should wear warmer clothes when we go back. Take me to see the beets later and see how they are being cultivated now." Su Yinyin was very curious.
Since it can be promoted for planting, it is definitely much better than before.
Li Ruiyuan let Yin Yin and the others rest for a while and then took her over to take a look.
Beet can be used to make sugar, and its growing cycle is only four months. It can basically be grown for two seasons in the Yellow River Basin and can also be grown in extremely cold areas.
The more this crop is cultivated, the better it tastes.
Especially Mr. Tian, the chief examiner of this year's imperial examination.
He has wanted to see Su Yinyin for a long time.
One reason was that Tiancai had heard of Su Yinyin's name a long time ago, and the other was that she knew what the prince was thinking.
No matter from which aspect, he has long heard of your great name.
When they met in person, Lord Tian fell in love with this lively little girl at first sight.
Although she is only the daughter of a seventh-rank commander, she is very smart, pretty, and walks in a free and easy manner.
When she saw the beets as soon as she entered the door, she was pleasantly surprised and said, "It is indeed well cultivated."
Su Yinyin only felt that although the beets in front of her were not as good as the later varieties, they were obviously very different from the first ones she found.
I believe that after a few years of promotion, the output will increase.
Although she had no research on this, she knew that Wanlong Country now attached great importance to agriculture and would definitely continue to cultivate it.
"Your Highness, you are here." Lord Tian waited to salute and nodded slightly to Su Yinyin.
Su Yinyin quickly returned the gift. The old man in front of her was not wearing official uniform, but his appearance and manners were distinguished, so he was definitely not an ordinary person.
After learning the other party's identity, the Su brothers and sisters all looked over.
So this is Lord Tian!
They both liked reading his travel notes.
Whether it is the local customs and practices or the insights into current affairs, the writing is both interesting and thought-provoking.
Knowing that they had read his books, Lord Tian stroked his beard and was very happy.
I was so depressed back then that I could only indulge in the countryside. I never expected that I would be liked by so many people.
During the pleasant conversation, Lord Tian was amazed at Su Yinyin's knowledge.
Many things in her mouth seemed to be taken for granted.
In particular, the importance of agriculture is as natural as breathing in her heart.
Su Yinyin might not have noticed anything. After all, in her life, everyone knew the importance of having enough food to eat, and even more so the importance of farming.
There is even a mature plan that is already well-known.
These things were extremely valuable experiences obtained hundreds or even a thousand years ago.
Mr. Tian nodded repeatedly, full of appreciation: "Yes, the foundation of the people of the world is in the fields. Cultivating good varieties and developing agricultural tools are all excellent."
Lord Tian personally took everyone to see the place where sugar was made. White sugar was piled up inside, which made people happy just by looking at it.
Li Ruiyuan looked at Su Yinyin and said seriously, "All of this happened because of you."
If it weren't for her, no one would have thought of looking for beets, let alone cultivating them.
Just like lemons today, few people ate them in the past, but now they have become a local specialty of Li Xing.
Su Yinyin didn't dare to take credit for it, she just spoke.
That being said, all members of the sugar-making team have special respect for Su Yinyin.
With these things, the price of sugar in the world will drop a lot. This is beneficial to the country and the people, and it is exactly what they are looking forward to.
Besides, can’t you see what the prince’s attitude is?
Even if it's just because of the Crown Prince's feelings for Miss Su, they will cheer up.
Su Yinyin and her friends settled down in the palace.
On Li Ruiyuan's birthday, a sumptuous banquet was set out.
There are chickens, ducks, fish, and mutton. The cooking methods are different, but they all have one thing in common: they don’t taste fishy at all and there is absolutely no blood.
This is obviously the prince's taste.
The two of them had known each other for many years, and since Su Yinyin knew what happened back then, she figured out the reason why Li Ruiyuan was anorexic.
This recipe will be Li Ruiyuan’s future dietary guide.
As long as he follows the instructions above, his appetite will definitely improve.
Li Ruiyuan looked at the explanation on the list, stroke by stroke, with shock in his eyes.
Could it be that Yin Yin had been preparing this gift ever since he told her about his experience when he was three years old?
At that time, she obviously didn't want to pay attention to her.
How could he not like someone like this?
Even though Yin Yin knew that she was in trouble, she would still be nice to him.
Who made her Su Yinyin? She has been nice to him for a long time.
Pull him out of the abyss.
There is also her seal on the back of the list.
Li Ruiyuan's eyes became brighter.
Su Yinyin pointed at the table and said, "If you do it this way in the future, it should work. Do you want to try it?"
Not to mention Li Ruiyuan, even Jin Yanlei who was accompanying him had wanted to pick up his chopsticks a long time ago, but he didn't dare.
Over the years, every meal has been a pain for Li Ruiyuan.
I forced myself to eat something for the sake of my father and mother.
But what he ate was not enough, so he was skinny all year round.
Until I met Su Yinyin.
She has big, sparkling eyes and is the purest person in the world. Watching her eat, it seems as if you will forget the lingering stench.
The Emperor and the Empress were all very excited to see that he was feeling better.
After that, she took herself out of the palace.
It was from then on that he began to act like a normal person.
For others, being normal is easy.
But for him, it took many years.
Now this recipe is tailor-made for him.
Su Yinyin said seriously: "I just like you to be safe and healthy."
After saying that, he looked at his brother and changed the subject: "The best thing is that everyone can be safe, healthy and live well."
Li Ruiyuan nodded, boldly held Su Yinyin's hand, and didn't dare to look at Su Xian at all: "Well, this is also my wish."
"The Emperor and Empress have given me gifts!"
The prince said that he would celebrate his birthday this year in the hot spring palace. After asking the reason, the emperor and empress confirmed that they would not disturb him, but the gifts would be delivered as usual.
Not only the prince's, but also Su Yinyin's.
Just like when she was in the hot spring palace, she received the same gift as Li Ruiyuan.
The chief eunuch beside the queen came over and said with a smile, "Miss Yinyin, we meet again."
They have met many times.
Every time the palace had a snack, the chief eunuch would come in person.
It was Jin Yanlei who reminded her that she realized that this person was a capable person beside the Queen.
Now that I think about it, it seems like their communication started last year.
No, it starts when they are little.
The warm jade from that year is still in her home.
So when did Li Ruiyuan start to have this idea?
Isn’t it too early for him to have such an idea?
The gifts that the emperor and empress prepared for both of them shocked Jin Yanlei the most.
What does this mean?
This means that the emperor and empress had already recognized Su Yinyin.
It's just that the time is not right, so we can't get to know each other.
Now that their identities have been revealed, they immediately sent gifts, showing everyone that they not only recognize them, but also like them very much.
In the past, the emperor and empress would not disturb their normal lives.
Now that I can’t hide it anymore, I’ll be the Su family’s backer.
It is said that the Jin family is now very important in the court.
Compared with the Su family, it’s nothing.
Apart from other things, the two most important things are two sets of warm clothes.
The material is similar to that of the past, but it is obviously made according to the current stature of the two people. Apart from the different colors, the patterns and cuts are basically the same.
The meaning is self-evident.
The chief eunuch cried with joy while holding the recipe. He had someone copy it down immediately and had the imperial chefs study it when he returned to the palace.
If the emperor and empress knew about this, they would definitely say that no other gift was as precious as this.
This is indeed the case.
Su Yinyin and her friends stayed in the hot spring villa for seven or eight days until a new batch of beets were harvested.
Everyone was sure that beets were ready to be marketed.
That’s what happens before and after the New Year.
At the same time, the wealthy families in the capital all learned the exact news that the emperor and empress already had a candidate for the Crown Princess in mind.
As for who it is?
I don’t know yet.
Anyway, he already has it, and it is said that his family is not high.
For a while, every family was saying, "Our family is not that high-class."
"Do you have a daughter of marriageable age? You are just talking about family background."
Many prominent families are eager to lower their own status.
In the past, people liked to be praised for how powerful their family was, but now if someone brags about their family background, it’s almost like an insult.
That's the Crown Princess.
With the prince's ability and foresight, if he could become the crown princess, would it matter whether his family's status was high or low in the future?
But there is no answer as to who this person is.
I heard that things haven’t been really confirmed yet, so we’ll have to wait until it’s settled.
This, this is something I cannot refuse?
You must be kidding.
Prince Ning, one of the few people in the capital who knew the correct answer, was now speaking respectfully to his subordinates.
Although Prince Ning did not point it out explicitly, at this moment, just from his polite attitude towards Commander Su, they both understood what was going on without any further explanation.
Commander Su, who was of a truly humble family background, was the one who made everyone feel numb.
He always felt that something was wrong recently.
First, something happened at home. It turned out that the Meng family, who were fourth-rank officials, thought that the Su family were trying to marry up, so they framed them.
It seemed like his son was crying and making a fuss about marrying his daughter Yin Yin.
That's it, it's over anyway.
Then the lady asked him to sit still and told him Yuan Rui's identity.
They have watched Yuan Rui grow up since he was a child.
Is a good boy.
But no one said that he was the prince.
This matter is still within the acceptable range.
Now the news has come out from the palace that the Emperor and Empress have a candidate for the Crown Princess, but her family background is not high.
Commander Su could still comfort himself at this point.
But looking at the look in the eyes of my superior, Prince Ning, is there any need to say anything?
Moreover, his daughter and son were currently in the hot spring palace helping the prince celebrate his birthday.
However, Commander Su wanted to ask a question.
"Prince Ning, I have a question that I would like to resolve."
Prince Ning knew what he was going to say, so he accepted it and said, "Your promotion to commander is all your own merit."
This is not an empty statement.
Whether it was Commander Su's military exploits on the battlefield or his abilities after joining the Military Department, they were all the key to his promotion.
At this point, Prince Ning laughed and said, "If you really benefit from this, my position will be yours."
The chief commanders of the Five Cities Military Division are all royal relatives.
Prince Ning is right.
If he really gets lucky, this position will be his in the future.
Commander Su couldn't laugh at all.
He is content with his life now.
His family is doing well and his old friends are living better and better lives, so he has nothing to regret.
Prince Ning advised: "Your daughter is blessed and smart, don't worry."
When he returned home, Commander Su told his wife about this.
Madam Su was mentally prepared, but she couldn't help but worry. When the store received a large number of orders from the palace, they completely understood the palace's thoughts.
But another incident that happened next made the Su couple worried again.
An order came from the palace.
We need to find blessed people among the people of the capital, go to the winter festival together, select five people in total, and ask the various government offices in the capital to recommend them seriously.
As the most important sacrifice of the year, looking for it among the people?!
The Su couple had the answer in their hearts.
Blessed people.
Their daughter.
As expected, Zhang Zhubu from the West City Yamen came directly to the door and said very politely: "The most blessed person in West City must be Su Yinyin, the daughter of the Su family."
"So many good marriages in West City were facilitated by Miss Su. Even the Queen praised her highly."
"Miss Su will definitely go to this winter festival."
Because this was said in front of Hui Nu Dim Sum Restaurant, the customers present nodded repeatedly with envy.
That’s right, Su Yinyin has always been a blessed person, and everyone knows that.
All the marriages she arranged were good.
For this blessing, it is most appropriate to choose her to attend the Winter Festival!
