"Ah!" Li Wanning screamed and quickly stood up. Her cheeks were flushed red like ripe apples, making her look especially charming.
"These servants are too careless.”Although she scolded him verbally, she could not hide her embarrassment.
This was the first time she had such intimate contact with the opposite sex. It was an indescribable feeling.
"Hey, Miss Wan Ning, why is it you?”Madam Qi was a little surprised. She had thought that it was a servant girl from the residence, but after seeing her face, she was even more overjoyed.
Li Wanning was Li Si's most beloved daughter. She was a famous beauty in Xianyang City. She was good at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She could sing and dance. She did not even dare to think that she would have such an outstanding daughter-in-law.
"Greetings, Consort Qi. I brought some handmade snacks and a new style of deep clothes. Consort Qi, you can try them on when you have time.”Li Wanning took out a bamboo box, on which was a new style of dark clothes with bright colors.
Lady Qi's eyes lit up. Although she was a concubine, Xianyang Palace was a city. Once one entered, it was difficult to leave. The prosperity outside had nothing to do with her. She usually wore custom-made imperial clothes.
Therefore, when he saw this deep robe, his eyes were filled with love.
"Aiya, you child, so be it. Why did you bring gifts?”Consort Qi smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line.
The outside world said that Li Wanning was cold and hard to get along with, but now it seemed that this was not the case.
"It's fine, as long as Consort Qi likes it.”
"I like it, I like it. If my Lan 'er can marry such a good girl like you, it's simply a blessing he has cultivated in his previous life.”Consort Qi was even more delighted.
"Imperial Mother, why are you randomly choosing a couple? How can a salted fish prince like me be worthy of Miss Li? I won't come to your palace without a reason.”
Li Wanning frowned and rolled her eyes. She muttered to herself," Is there something wrong with me? Who would mock me like this?"
"Ding…Favorable impression points 5. Current Favorable impression points are 20.”
Joy flashed across Ying Lan's eyes. Sure enough, a girl like Li Wanning could not accommodate her. The more she could not get a man, the more she wanted to fly into the fire like a moth. On the contrary, she would only be one of the thousands of bootlickers if she fell under her skirt.
"Lan 'er, you're not that bad. You're the fifth physician now. I heard that His Majesty wanted to confer you the title of Great Shu Elder yesterday, but you bluntly rejected it.”Consort Qi reproached.
" Great Shu Chang?!" Li Wanning was stunned for a moment. What Concubine Qi said was probably not nonsense.
This was a title that was only second to the Marquis of the Pass and Marquis Che!
"Consort Qi, did Young Master Lan do something? Why did you promote him to the position of Great Shu Chang?”Li Wanning asked curiously.
"You don't know yet, right? Lan 'er passed on the method of planting wheat, potatoes, and corn to the internal historian. In a few days, it will be promoted throughout the country and benefit the millions of people of Great Qin.”Consort Qi raised her head and puffed out her chest, her face proud. Her son had become successful, and as a mother, she was sincerely happy.
"Wow, doesn't that mean that potatoes can be bought everywhere in the future?!”Li Wanning was only happy for a moment before she felt depressed.
The purpose of her visit today was actually to discuss cooperation with Ying Lan. There were no potatoes and corn on the market at all. Once these new species were released, they would definitely be a delicacy that the dignitaries sought after.
The Li Family's biggest business was the Li Family Restaurant. When Li Si heard what his daughter said, he found this business opportunity and asked his daughter to come over shamelessly.
That day, Li Wanning was an ugly duckling. She had long been unconvinced after being scolded, but she couldn't find a suitable reason to come to the Qi Palace.
Seeing Li Wan turn into a frosted eggplant, Consort Qi was a little puzzled.
"What happened to Miss Li?"
Li Wanning hesitated for a moment before telling him what Li Si was thinking.
"Aiya, Lan 'er is a selfless child. She cares about the food and clothing of the people in the world and neglects her own interests.”Consort Qi also felt that it was a pity.
After all, the rarer something was, the more valuable it would be. By then, the potatoes and corn that could be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys would be worthless.
"The ingredients are one thing, but the delicious taste comes from the auxiliary ingredients. Without the auxiliary ingredients, you can't grasp the cooking method. At most, you can satisfy your hunger, but it's very difficult to become delicious.”Ying Lan shrugged her shoulders and said disapprovingly.
What he said was also the truth. Whether it was potatoes or corn, they were the most common food in the future. However, there were many ways to make them, such as frying, roasting, stir-frying, and so on.
In this era, it was basically just adding some salt. Most people could eat their fill.
"Ancestors?" Li Wanning blinked.
Concubine Qi held her hand and led her to the kitchen. Then, she introduced them one by one, such as gourmet powder, chicken essence, light soy sauce, oil, soy sauce, aged vinegar, and so on. There were more than ten of them, and it was dazzling.
Li Wanning had learned a lot. She didn't know that there were so many tricks in cooking…
"Miss Li, Lan 'er specially made a hotpot for tonight's housewarming party. If you're free, you can stay and try it.”Consort Qi winked.
"What is hotpot?" Li Wanning was dumbfounded. In her mind, she found a pot with raging flames. How could she eat this?
" To be honest, I don't know either. I haven't eaten it before…"
"Is it better than potatoes and corn?”
" Lan 'er said it's a hundred times better..."
"Wow, then I'll stay and try it!" Li Wanning immediately drooled. She was a true foodie.
As the saying goes, some people are happy while others are sad.
Ganquan Palace.
When Huhai learned that Ying Lan had obtained a fief and a new mansion, he kept smashing things. Precious porcelain pieces were scattered all over the ground.
"Bastard, he's a good-for-nothing. What right does he have to gain Imperial Father's favor?”
Where's my teacher?"
Huhai was furious.
"Your Highness, the Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate disappeared yesterday. Please calm down and don't be angry.”The guard cupped his fists, not daring to look at Huhai.
At the same time, in a thatched cottage in the forest outside Xianyang City.
The four people in the room were wearing bamboo hats and drinking tea in an orderly manner. If Huhai was present, he would have recognized that the person sitting in the middle was Zhao Gao.
"Someone is here."
"Squeak." As soon as he finished speaking, the door slowly opened.
A beautiful woman with a graceful figure walked in.
"Aiyo, why are you so timid? I already said that I came alone, but I actually brought three peak Earth Realm experts with me.”
This voice was like that of a lark, mesmerizing and captivating.
"Haha, there's no other way. You're the Water Sect's Elder, Phantasmal Shadow. There aren't many men in the world who can escape from your grasp. Bring a few more people with you, lest this old man fail miserably.”Zhao Gao smiled a little wretchedly.
