Therefore, Ye Ye and Ye Yuan were brought to Liusou Court by Yue Qinghe and handed in three large scriptures each. When they obediently took their books and were about to leave, Yue Qinghe felt that he could not mistreat them, so he took out two inkstones from the inkstone box and gave them as gifts, treating it as a sponsorship fee for copying scriptures.
He also saw that there were two large plates of freshly made, ancient, and non-existent Sushi in the big blue and white, five-colored plate on the table, so he also asked Xiao Feng to pack them up and bring them back for the two princes.
"This crown prince consort won't keep you all for dinner.”
With that, Yue Qinghe waved goodbye to the two pitiful teenagers who were hugging scriptures in satisfaction and prepared to have dinner.
On the way back to Fanghua Palace, Ye Yuan looked at the two inkstones that Yue Qinghe gave him, looked left and right, and asked his brother hesitantly,""This, seems to be made by Water Blue Jade.”
Ye Ye also nodded and said seriously,""It really seems to be made from Aquamarine Jade.”
Ye Yuan said nervously again,"It seems that the inkstone that Brother Crown Prince used was Water Blue Jade."”
The two brothers nodded at the same time. They suddenly felt that this sister-in-law who married into the State of Yue was a very, very rich person. They looked at the sushi in the food box and said hesitantly,"We don't seem to have eaten this pastry before.”
"No, I haven't seen him before." Then, he confirmed. After hesitating for a moment, the two brothers found an empty pavilion and tasted it first. Then, they could not stop.
"Oh my god, this thing should only exist in the sky. How many times can I see it in the human world?”Ye Ye, who was moved to tears by the food, exclaimed.
"What is it that's so delicious? Let me try it too?"
Just as the two of them were eating happily, a hearty young man's voice came from behind them. The two of them turned around as they stuffed their mouths.
Outside the pavilion, a young man with a jade-white face and sword-like eyebrows was holding a sword and looking at them with a bright smile. It was as if he had caught a little mouse that was stealing food.
"Fourth Brother!" The two of them cried out in surprise at the same time.
Yue Qinghe was painfully copying scriptures under the lamp. She felt as if she had returned to the time when she first learned Chinese characters in elementary school. She was trembling with fear as she drew each stroke.
Yue Qinghe looked at the seal characters that were countless times more complicated than traditional Chinese characters under the lamp. He gripped the brush in his hand tightly and began to write with trembling hands.
She didn't know how to write with a brush, and she didn't recognize the characters of the Jin Country. Moreover, the characters of Jin were even more difficult to read than those of Yue, and the strokes were even more complicated.
Two lines of words fell on the plain white paper, and the crookedness made Yue Qinghe think of a snake.
He threw down his pen with a headache and called Xiao Feng over." What are the words on this? This crown prince consort doesn't know any of them, how can I write!”
Xiao Feng took the spicy chicken feet that Yue Qinghe had ordered and said while looking at the words on the scripture,""Have you forgotten that I am also from the State of Yue?”She frowned and said," Your requirements have been getting higher and higher recently. Every time I go to the imperial kitchen, the people there have to avoid me. I asked a lot of people before I got this plate of chicken feet. Eat it quickly. I hate it just looking at it."”
Yue Qinghe's eyes lit up when he saw the phoenix claw and was about to reach out to grab it when Xiao Feng slapped him away. Hua Yue came up with the copper basin and said carefully,""Crown Princess, please wash your hands first."
Yue Qinghe could only wash his hands unwillingly, then took the towel Li Yue handed over to wipe his hands before reaching for the chicken feet. As he ate, he said,"The imperial kitchen of the Jin Country is too bad. They can't even make chicken feet?"”
Xiao Feng waved the pear moon painted fan away and glanced at Yue Qinghe, saying,""It's not that you can't make chicken feet, but your usual requirements are too high. Every day, you prepare dishes and snacks that aren't available here.”
Yue Qinghe's face was bitter." But there's nothing here. I used to eat it every day at home. Stinky tofu, spicy hotpot, barbecue, milk tea, and countless snacks. French fries, chocolate…"
Xiao Feng sighed,"I really don't know why the immortal chose you to come here that day." They were not here to save people, they were clearly here to torture them.”
Yue Qinghe was still counting the delicious food at home when he suddenly remembered something important,""Aiya, cake! I have to eat cake every year on my birthday. Look at the calendar. What time is it today?”
"It's October 25th."”Suddenly, he thought of something and said seriously,"There's an ancestral worship festival in the royal palace of Jin Country on October 27th every year, which will be the day after tomorrow. As a new member of the royal family, you must not mess it up on that day!”
Yue Qinghe's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked,""What do you mean I can't mess it up? I have to attend the ancestral worship too? Where to sacrifice? Imperial Mausoleum? Isn't that something that happened during the Qingming Festival?" What she was thinking more was that if she went, it would be inconvenient to help Song Yun complete her elopement.
Xiao Feng continued," The State of Jin is a state of etiquette. There is a complete set of etiquette system. This time, the ancestral worship is held at the Hall of Supreme Harmony at the intersection of autumn and winter to pray for the prosperity of the country and the peace of the people in the coming year. Those who are not members of the imperial clan are not allowed to participate. You are the crown princess, so you naturally have to participate. This way, your identity will be affirmed. Those concubines who did not have children in the harem could not participate.”
Yue Qinghe heard this and nodded. So that was the case. It was equivalent to adding his name to the household register. Thinking about how he would be tightly bound to the Crown Prince in the future, Yue Qinghe was very worried.
After Xiao Feng finished speaking, he brought over a black robe embroidered with a koi pattern." This is the newly made sacrificial robe sent by the dressing room today. It's for the day after tomorrow.”
Yue Qinghe marveled at her ability as a manager. She managed everything clearly. She didn't need to put in any effort. Therefore, she was touched and pushed the chicken feet forward." Xiaofeng, you should eat more too. It's delicious."”
Xiao Feng rolled his eyes at her." Just be good and don't mess up the ancestral worship the day after tomorrow."”
Yue Qinghe nodded vigorously. However, what he did not expect was…In the end, she still screwed up.
The next day, Yue Qinghe woke up early and went to Ye An Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. She was afraid that the Empress Dowager would check on her copying of the scriptures. However, the Empress Dowager only talked about the ancestral worship the next day and did not mention her.
Yue Qinghe secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Princess Ye Mo's gaze returned to its original state, ignoring her. Yue Qinghe recalled the way she pointed at her and scolded her that night. He also didn't treat Ye Mo well. When he saw Ye Mo roll his eyes at her, he rolled his eyes back at her fiercely when no one was paying attention. Ye Mo was stunned, while Yue Qinghe was smug. Hmph, don't think you're the only one with dead fish eyes. Just as he was feeling happy, he suddenly looked up and saw the Empress looking in his direction. Yue Qinghe jumped in shock, thinking that he wouldn't be scolded, right? However, there was a faint smile in the Empress's eyes. She was stunned and rubbed her eyes to prevent her from seeing wrongly. At this moment, the Empress opened her mouth and waved behind her."The matter that the Crown Princess spoke to BenGong a few days ago has already come to fruition.”
Dozens of palace servants filed in, holding various small potted plants in their hands. The pots were only the size of a palm, and the flower pots were all made of rough glaze. There were exquisite patterns painted on them with various colors of green glaze. Flowers, birds, insects, and fish were vivid and pleasing. What was most worth looking at were the tender green leaves in the pot. They were all in different shapes, but they were all pleasing to the eye. When the Empress Dowager saw this, her eyes widened and she asked,""This was planted by the Empress?"
Yue Qinghe was shocked. The Empress had actually put his idea into practice. Not only could he not make things difficult for her, but he had also snatched the credit away from her. What a mistake!
Unexpectedly, the Empress shook her head and looked at Yue Qinghe with a smile, saying,""These are the Crown Princess 'thoughts. That day, when the Crown Princess saw that Mother was in a state of shock because of the death of the orchids, she asked ChenQie to plant these potted plants in Yue Country.”
The Empress Dowager nodded her head in satisfaction and looked at Yue Qinghe with a loving gaze." The Crown Princess Consort is thoughtful.”
Yue Qinghe nodded with a smile in a daze. He didn't expect the Empress to not only not take credit for herself, but also speak up for him. Was this the rhythm of a great outburst of character? Yue Qinghe thought of this and felt that the Empress was a very good person. The act of flattering the Empress Dowager in the past had also been converted into filial piety. Originally, his bad impression of her was built on sympathy for Song Yun. Now that Song Yun was going to elope with someone else, Yue Qinghe felt that the Empress had become a better person. He secretly decided to bring the most beautiful inkstone to the Empress when he returned.
The Empress Dowager was not the only one who liked this cute little potted plant. The concubines also seemed to enjoy it. One of the younger concubines, who had always been quiet, suddenly said,"Empress niangniang, can you give ChenQie two pots to bring back?”
"Is it Little Sister Xian Fei?" The Empress, who was surrounded by the crowd, asked.
Consort Xian, who had always been silent, replied,""Yes."
The Empress smiled faintly." If Sister Xian likes it, move there. There are many in the garden."”
Consort Xian walked over and carefully picked up a pot and handed it to the palace maid behind her. She picked up another pot herself. Everyone was still admiring each pot and did not notice this detail, but Yue Qinghe saw it. Consort Xian picked up a pot of green leaves and suddenly smiled at the palace maid behind her."Pin 'er will definitely like it." The palace maid's eyes reddened.
Pin 'er? The Third Prince's name. Consort Xian was the Third Prince's mother. Yue Qinghe recalled for a moment. It seemed that the information Xiao Feng had given her did not have much to say about the Third Prince, Ye Mo. The Third Prince, Jin Ye Mo, was seventeen years old this year.
When the mood of these concubines had almost dissipated, the usually talkative Shu Fei smiled and said to the Empress Dowager,""Empress jiejie got such a good thing to show filial piety to mother, ChenQie also has the same. Hand it over." She waved her hand behind her.
Thus, under everyone's eager gazes, Consort Shu smiled proudly and opened the food box that the palace maid had presented to the Empress Dowager." This is a small snack that ChenQie had nothing to do in the past, so she studied it. Mother has not had a good appetite recently, so this is also made from rice. Perhaps Mother will like it.”
