"Gift? This..."
"Eunuch Zhaozi, Empress Zhen is not here, and I don't know when she will come back." Yu Wen replied.
"Not here? Then do you know when she will be back?"
"His Majesty has instructed us to personally deliver this gift to Concubine Zhen."
"I don't know. I only know that the queen went to Changqiu Palace."
"If you are really in a hurry, you can go directly to Changqiu Palace."
"Or, I'll go find Madam and tell her?"
"Thank you, Miss Yu Wen. I'd better go over there!" Xiao Zhaozi thought for a while and spoke.
"Then, Master Zhaozi, take care."
"Um!"
In the Changqiu Palace.
When Lady Hao took the food box handed to her by Si Muqiao, her face was immediately filled with gratitude and surprise.
"Empress Zhenfei, I am very happy that you can visit Changqiu Palace."
"Why did you bring a gift?"
"Well, didn't I promise you before? I'll make dough for you when I'm free."
"I happened to have some free time today, so I made some dough and roujiamo. You can try them!"
"Wow, Empress Zhenfei, you are so kind to me!"
Lady Hao was immediately moved to tears.
She was born a concubine's daughter and was not valued at home.
Except for her mother, no one would care what she likes or wants.
Empress Zhenfei was the first person, other than her mother, who cared so much about her.
She was really touched.
After opening the lid of the food box, the mixed dough and roujiamo inside instantly appeared in Lady Hao's sight.
This is truly a double impact on vision and taste.
The dough mixed with red chili oil looks particularly tempting.
There are also refreshing and crispy mung bean sprouts and cucumber shreds in it.
In addition to the dough, a few pieces of gluten are also placed inside.
Compared to the restrained taste of the dough, the aroma of Roujiamo is really long-lasting and rich.
The fragrant smell of meat went straight into people's noses, making Miss Hao extremely greedy.
"Your Majesty, are these all for me?" Lady Hao asked, trying hard to suppress her greed.
"If it's not for you, then whose is it?" Si Muqiao chuckled.
"Woo woo, Madam, you are truly my adopted parent!"
"I really like you so much!"
"So, this...can I have a taste now?"
Lady Hao stared at the dough and roujiamo, unable to take her eyes away.
"Of course you can. Eat it quickly, or the pancake won't be crispy enough in a while."
"Yes, then I won't be polite."
After saying that, Lady Hao quickly took out a portion of dough and a roujiamo from the food box.
When you take a bite of Roujiamo, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth!
Although the pancakes are not as delicious as when they are freshly baked, they are not bad either.
The meat inside is rich in aroma. After long-term cooking with various seasonings, the flavor has long been integrated into the fat and lean meat.
The refreshing taste of green peppers makes the roujiamo in your hand not greasy at all.
Moreover, the meat was full of wax juice, and the bite of teeth made the fragrance of the wax juice burst in the mouth.
The delicious feeling was so fragrant that Miss Hao wanted to swallow her own tongue.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, Miss Hao's favorability +5."
"Ding, congratulations to the host, Miss Hao's favorability +10."
"Ding, congratulations to the host, Miss Hao's favorability +5."
"Note: The host's current favorability with Lady Hao is 74. Please keep up the good work."
"Congratulations to the host for getting a chance to draw a prize."
"Does the host choose to draw now?"
"Later!" Si Muqiao replied.
"Yes." 233 responded and then stopped talking.
When it first heard that its host was going to look for Lady Hao, it couldn't understand why.
How come the host, who is clearly in a hurry to build a zoo, still has the leisure to visit Lady Hao in Changqiu Palace?
Now it is clear.
The host came here specially!
She just wanted to gain favor with Lady Hao so that she could have a chance to win a lottery!
However, the host was still too naive.
With such a low winning rate, it’s very difficult to win in one go.
"Empress Zhen, hiccups, this dough and roujiamo are really delicious!"
"As long as you like it."
"Yeah, I like it! Thank you!"
"You're welcome! I have a small kitchen in my cold palace. If you want to eat something in the future, just come and find me."
"Really? That's great. I hope Concubine Zhen doesn't find me annoying when the time comes."
"No!" Si Muqiao chuckled.
"Empress Zhenfei, this is your first time in Changqiu Palace. How about I take you around?"
"OK!"
Unfortunately, just as Simuqiao stood up, he heard Xiao Zhaozi's voice coming from outside.
"Is Empress Zhen here?"
"I'm here. What's the matter, little Zhaozi?" There was a hint of curiosity in Si Muqiao's eyes.
"In reply to your Majesty, I, following your Majesty's order, will personally deliver this gift to you."
"What gift?"
While Simuqiao was curious, Tangyuan walked over, took the tray from Xiaozhaozi's hand, and handed it to Simuqiao.
Si Muqiao reached out and lifted the red cloth on the tray, then took out the square object folded underneath.
Expand.
Huh?
It turned out to be a garden landscape picture!
Judging from the drawings, the place is very large, surrounded by mountains and water, with forests, flowers and birds.
There is also a brief introduction to the place next to it.
This garden has not yet been named and is located outside the capital city.
It takes an hour and a half to get there from the palace on horseback.
If you take a carriage, it will take about two to two and a half hours.
The place covers an area of about 400 acres and is a piece of land that has not yet been developed.
The natural environment is good, and royal descendants and nobles used to go there hunting.
However, that area has been fenced off and used as royal land.
Si Muqiao looked at the drawing twice before asking uncertainly.
"Xiao Zhaozi, are you sure that this thing was given to me by His Majesty?"
"My Lady, it is absolutely true!"
"Besides asking you to give this thing to me, did he also ask you to pass on a message?"
“No.”
"Oh!" Si Muqiao nodded.
She was struggling with the location of the zoo, and Murong Qingli immediately sent someone to bring her a blueprint of a suitable place to open a zoo.
Isn't he very busy?
Ridiculously busy.
How could she spare the time to care about her zoo?
It seems that he is not as busy as imagined!
"Thank Your Majesty on my behalf." After thinking about it, Si Muqiao accepted it.
With this blueprint, she can then design the zoo blueprint according to her own ideas.
After the drawings are designed, the next step is to find someone to build the zoo according to the drawings and introduce various animals.
It won’t be too late to discuss the operation of the zoo and other follow-up matters after it is completely established.
At this moment, Si Muqiao, who got the drawings, was full of energy and vitality!
"Yes, Madam. If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave first."
"Well, thank you for your trip." Si Muqiao said politely.
"My lady, you are really embarrassing me. This is what I should do."
Not long after Xiao Zhaozi left with his men, Simuqiao said goodbye to Lady Hao.
She was anxious to go back and design the zoo blueprints.
Lady Hao could see that she was quite anxious, so she naturally did not try to persuade her to stay.
He also personally escorted her to the gate of Changqiu Palace.
Just returned to Changqiu Palace.
Lady Hao could hear the disapproving voice of Madam Cui.
…………
It’s decided, we’ll have Roujiamo and Liangpi tonight, and a Bingfeng!
