Chapter 171 A Small Gathering in the Palace



"Of course I like it. This room is big and spacious, and the lighting is very good. I will put a bunch of plum blossoms on my desk and have a cup of tea. It will definitely be very relaxing." Yin Man was full of anticipation and had already thought about how to decorate her future office.

"A building like this is too crude. When the blast furnace is built and we have finer cement, we can burn some tiles and lay them on the floor and walls, and replace the windows with glass. It will look better this way." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.

In her eyes, the current house is not even as good as an unfinished house.

But such a novel house has attracted the interest of countless people.

After touring the Dibao Office, Zhao Qingrui visited Shusun Tong again.

During this period, the changes in Daqin can be said to be earth-shaking. As the price of cloth continued to fall, the people were able to wear new clothes.

The variety of clothing in Daqin also began to gradually increase. Of course, this was led by Zhao Qingrui.

The clothes she wore were all specially made, and many of them were no longer of this era, but she didn't stop people from learning from her.

Then girls like Yin Man and Meng Yu had several sets of clothes made for them. They were really nice-looking, and they also liked to change their styles of dressing.

Others followed Meng Yu and the others, which made the styles of these clothes spread quickly.

On his way back to the palace, he met Chunyu Yue, who had gone to see Fusu but was rejected by Fusu.

"Dr. Chunyu, are you going to see my elder brother again?" Zhao Qingrui smiled when he saw Chunyu Yue.

"I have something to discuss with Prince Fusu." Chunyu Yue froze for a moment, then said respectfully.

Zhao Qingrui raised her eyebrows. She knew everything the Confucian scholar had been doing during this period. He was instigating Fusu to compete for the throne and wanted to create something to attract her father's attention.

"Brother, is I still in the Censorate?" Zhao Qingrui raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, the young master is still sorting out the official inspection form."

"In that case, I won't chat with Dr. Chunyu anymore. I have something to talk to my elder brother about, so I'll leave first." He waved to Chunyu Yue and went straight to the Censorate.

When he arrived at the Censorate, Fusu seemed to have almost finished his work.

"Why are you here, little sister?" There was some fatigue in Fusu's eyes, but when he saw Zhao Qingrui, he still forced himself to be alert.

"Come and see big brother. Big brother does everything by himself, but there are not enough people here. I will try to transfer a few people to help big brother." Zhao Qingrui asked as he sat below Fusu.

"No need. There is a shortage of manpower in other places in the court. I can handle these things by myself. You don't have to worry about it, little sister." Fusu said gently.

"Well, if you are tired, you can just let the clerks do these things," Zhao Qingrui advised.

"I will." Fusu was very touched by Zhao Qingrui's concern. "Has my little sister left the palace?"

"Yes, I went out for a walk and brought back some snacks for my elder brother and father. There are a lot more snacks on the streets of Xianyang now, and they taste pretty good." Those people are really innovative. There are now several shops selling pastries in Xianyang.

She handed Fusu the snacks she had bought. "Brother, have you finished cleaning up? I've asked the cook to make something delicious tonight. I've made an appointment with Father and Sister Yin Man. Brother and sister-in-law, come over for dinner. Bring Ziying along too. I remember he really likes the dried fish in my palace."

"I think you bought these for Ziying." Looking at the snacks in his hand, Fusu smiled gently. Ziying was only ten years old. Although he was studying, he was also at the age of enjoying food.

After Zhao Qingrui returned to the palace, she would give her nephews and nieces some snacks from time to time, and immediately won the hearts of all of them.

"It's all the same. Brother, let's go find sister-in-law and Ziying. I haven't seen Ziying for a long time." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.

"Let's go." Fusu put away the inspection book and left the Censorate with Zhao Qingrui.

When little Ziying saw his aunt coming, he was so enthusiastic that he rushed directly towards Zhao Qingrui.

"Aunt, do you miss Ziying?" She looked at Zhao Qingrui expectantly with her little face.

"Of course I do. I'll treat you to a delicious meal tonight. Do you want to go, Ziying?" Zhao Qingrui pinched the little guy's cheeks. He was chubby. The food in the palace was pretty good.

"Yes, yes." He was so happy to hear that his aunt was treating him. If his aunt was not so busy every day, he would definitely go to play with her every day.

"Little sister, stop pampering him. He is not a child anymore." Wang Xia said helplessly when she saw how Zhao Qingrui doted on Ziying.

This kid was bribed by Zhao Qingrui's snacks. Now the status of the couple in his heart is probably not as high as Zhao Qingrui's.

"Ziying is sensible. It's okay to pamper him a little more." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.

"That's right, I'm not a child anymore, so you can't pinch my face, aunt." Ziying said seriously, and he looked cute no matter how you looked at him.

Fusu and his wife and Ziying were invited to Xuanyi Palace, and Yin Man and the others had already arrived.

When he saw Ying Zheng, Ziying was still a little scared, and the happy smile on his face disappeared. He saluted obediently and stood beside Fusu honestly.

Zhao Qingrui naturally knew that her nephews and nieces were afraid of their father. Even her brothers and sisters were afraid of their father.

Perhaps I am the bravest one and can control my father.

"The dinner is served from the farm. They hunted a wild buffalo, so the dinner will be all beef." Zhao Qingrui greeted everyone warmly.

"Whatever comes from my little sister is the most delicious." Jiang Lu said expectantly, and he also followed along shamelessly.

There are many ways to cook beef. When the palace maids brought it, the table was full. Fortunately, there were many people today, so there was no need to worry about waste.

"When it comes to food, Qingrui is the best." Ying Zheng chuckled and no longer cared about his annoying sons.

Now he can finally eat and drink freely, but his little girl still doesn't let him overeat. It's so comfortable to be able to eat meat to his heart's content.

"Of course. I'll prepare a full banquet for you later and make sure you eat your fill." Zhao Qingrui said generously. When Daqin becomes rich in the future, she will also be a little more extravagant.

"A full banquet? What is that?" Yin Man tilted her head and looked at Zhao Qingrui curiously.

"It's all kinds of delicious food, but you can't eat it now. There are no ingredients and not enough seasonings." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.

"Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold." He quickly asked them to eat.

"My dear daughter, have you forgotten something?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui eagerly. No one dared to pick up the chopsticks until he started eating.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Qingrui asked in confusion, as if he had not forgotten anything.
