Chapter 106 Stopping the Car
Chapter 106 Stopping the Car
Hearing this, Mu Kang's expression became serious, "I will remind the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture to pay attention to the storage of grain."
Zhen Zhen thought, "My princess is too serious. Just now, there was some atmosphere, but she redirected the conversation to official business."
Because it was raining, Nan Nan brought the carriage over, and Jiang Yunxi said goodbye to Mu Kang and returned to the palace.
“Nannan, remember to stock up some food. There probably won’t be a shortage of food in the palace, I’m just afraid something might happen outside the palace.” Jiang Yunxi opened the curtain and looked at the vendors who were hurriedly packing up their things in the rain, feeling a little sympathetic.
Nan Nan nodded in agreement.
Zhen Zhen smoothed Jiang Yunxi's frown, "Princess, you should put the official business aside for now. I don't know how disappointed Lord Mu must have been just now."
"Zhenzhen, in my eyes, there are many things more important than love between men and women. The same is true for Mu Kang." Jiang Yunxi took off the hairpin on her head and held it in her palm.
This is a red jade carved hairpin.
Jiang Yunxi knew that this hairpin was extremely rare, and Mu Kang must have put in a lot of effort to find it.
However, Mu Kang still has feelings for her now, so he will spend time doing these things; but as time goes by, he will no longer have the energy to do so.
Therefore, Jiang Yunxi subconsciously did not take this matter seriously.
Don't keep this joy and expectation in your heart.
There will be no disappointment and sadness.
======Cining Palace======
Jiang Yunxi sat below Jiang Xueyi and gently massaged her legs.
"I heard that it was Mu Kang who sent you back?" The fire of gossip was burning in Jiang Xueyi's eyes.
Jiang Yunxi remained calm, "Yes, I walked with him for a while. If it hadn't rained, I would have come back even later."
Jiang Xueyi thought to herself: "It's really unlucky. What a pity... But they are making some progress now, which is great."
"Good! Good! Good!" Jiang Xueyi praised.
"Grandma, I remember that the Queen sent a cook for Yaer to take to the Princess's Mansion, right?" Jiang Yunxi suddenly remembered those unpalatable meals and asked casually.
"Yes, I heard that he is a famous chef who used to work in the imperial kitchen. The queen was afraid that the princess would not be able to get used to the food outside the palace, so she specially hired someone who used to work in the palace. I think his cooking skills are pretty good." Jiang Xueyi had heard Nanny Yue mention this before.
"That's a bit wrong, isn't it?" Jiang Yunxi frowned. "Grandma, I can only tell you this. Today's food is extremely hard to swallow. So many good ingredients, it's really a waste."
"I'm afraid it's because your stomach has become picky that you find the food unpalatable?" Jiang Xueyi raised her eyebrows.
"How could I?" Jiang Yunxi pouted and pulled Jiang Xueyi's arm to act coquettishly.
Zhen Zhen interrupted at the right time, "It's not just the princess who thinks so. From what I've seen, not many people are eating at each table. When the meal was over, all the dishes were left over."
"Is that so?" Jiang Xueyi looked at Nanny Yue, "That's strange."
Nanny Yue said, "I have heard some rumors. I heard that the consort's mother once came to the palace and asked the Sun family to host the wedding banquet. It was said that it was the custom of their hometown. Although it was against the rules, the queen still agreed, thinking that it was also a respect for the princess from the Sun family."
"The Queen loves Ya'er the most, even more than the Crown Prince. I'm afraid she agreed to this because she felt guilty towards the Sun family. In my opinion, there is no need to tolerate them like this from the beginning." Jiang Yunxi was quite indignant.
"The Sun family has become so successful that they have lost some of their rules. It's not surprising. I'm just afraid that Yaer will have a hard time in the future." Jiang Xueyi also vaguely felt that the Sun family was not easy to mess with.
Jiang Yunxi's right eyelid suddenly twitched.
======Duke Zhenguo Mansion======
Looking at Jiang Youcai with a bruised face and nose, Jiang Yunxi couldn't help but laughed out loud.
This time she forgot to tell Nan Nan to be gentler, but unexpectedly, Nan Nan had really restrained herself a lot.
Jiang Youcai pursed his lips, looking embarrassed.
Seeing that Jiang Youcai's face was not right, Jiang Yunxi restrained his smile and said to Nan Nan, "He has a really good face. Remember to give him the jade muscle cream."
Jiang Yunxi turned to Jiang Youcai again, "Don't be afraid. I remember that when the emperor's uncle was young, he trained with his master and was covered in wounds every day. Only in this way can we make rapid progress."
Hearing this, Zhao Changyu paused while drinking tea.
Jiang Youcai nodded. "I could only take two or three of Miss Nan Nan's moves before, but now I can take more than ten. This is considered an improvement. Although the improvement is small, I am very happy."
Jiang Yunxi smiled and said, "Okay! Young people should have such ambitions! Follow Nan Nan to get the medicine."
Jiang Yunxi knew that Jiang Youcai was a straightforward person and that he would not bear grudges.
But just in case, it is better to let Nan Nan interact with him more. It would be great if the two of them could exchange martial arts experiences with each other.
"What do you mean, when I was young?" Seeing that the outsiders had left, Zhao Changyu began to settle accounts with Jiang Yunxi, frowning and asking, "Am I old now?"
Jiang Yunxi looked him up and down and said nothing, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
Zhao Changyu instantly understood what Jiang Yunxi meant, pursed his lips and took a deep breath.
Seeing this, Jiang Yunxi immediately shook her head, "No, no. The emperor's uncle is just the right age. He is in his prime and can attract many women from aristocratic families."
Jiang Yunxi spoke in a very ungentlemanly way, and Zhao Changyu almost rolled his eyes at her.
"Shall I take you back to the palace?" Zhao Changyu suggested.
"Sure, I also want to go to the West Market to buy Zhang's roast duck. The roast duck made by the chefs in the palace always lacks in taste. I want to eat Zhang's." Jiang Yunxi smiled.
Talking about food, Zhao Changyu discovered that this was the time when Jiang Yunxi was most relaxed.
"Okay, I'll buy them all as you said." Zhao Changyu's tone was full of doting.
As soon as he arrived at Xishi, Jiang Yunxi was like a kite with a broken string, and could not be pulled back.
When it comes to spending Zhao Changyu's money, Jiang Yunxi is very generous.
Zhao Changyu had no choice but to send Feng Gou to the bank to withdraw the money.
"Princess, you behave like this, making others feel that the Queen Mother has treated you unfairly." Zhen Zhen glanced at Zhao Changyu and said deliberately.
Jiang Yunxi tilted her head and looked at Zhao Changyu with a smile, "It's the emperor's uncle who is pleased."
She raised her eyebrows at Zhao Changyu.
"Yes, I'd love to." There was undisguised preference in Zhao Changyu's tone.
Jiang Yunxi walked around left and right, and was almost about to buy the shop.
Jiang Yunxi stopped only when there was no more room in the carriage, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
She sat at the front of the carriage, enjoying the breeze blowing towards her, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
This is a rare leisure time for her.
A woman with loose hair and wearing only a plain middle-colored dress suddenly jumped onto Jiang Yunxi's carriage.
The horse was startled and stopped when Nan Nan pulled the reins to calm it down.
