I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs

  Chapter 256 The willow shoots on the moon start to raise their eyebrows

   Shen Liqing answered the first question correctly.

  The Empress Dowager waved her hand, "Reward. Zhe Zhe, Zhe Li, A Xu, don't lag behind, don't be afraid that Ai's family won't be able to reward you, the Lantern Festival gift is very generous."

   Everyone was eager to try it, but Zhe Yu made another "flower cluster" for his daughter-in-law. It is made of mushrooms, cut into the shape of chrysanthemums, and then deep-fried.

   Baicaoshi tasted it with a smile.

  She is not a person who rests on her laurels. She is also willing to absorb the essence of royal cuisine, and will continue to improve the food list of Quanjufang in the future.

  Shen Liqing picked up the tea, glanced at this corner from the corner of his eye, lowered his eyes, hiding the ups and downs in his heart.

  Eunuch Lin read the second question: "At the end of the year, there is no shortage of fish and rice, type one word."

   As soon as the words fell, Concubine Si beside Emperor Yanwu had already spoken, "This word is scale, the scale of fish scales."

  Why did Concubine Si answer so quickly? It's because she thought of this word when she was choosing a name for the little prince.

   "Your Majesty, would it be good for the emperor to name Zhelin, the Lin of Qilin?"

  Emperor Yan Wu gave it no, the radicals of unicorn are all deer, which means "competing for deer in the world". However, he gave another reason: "I don't know something about my beloved concubine. For those who are unicorns, the male is called qi, and the female is called lin."

What's the meaning? That is, the male is called Qi, and the female is called Lin. How could the little prince be called Lin?

  Concubine Si likes the name Lin, she said: "Or the scales called fish scales, there are fish and rice, which is very auspicious."

   Unexpectedly, the name was not used, but it was used in guessing.

  After listening to the story told by Concubine Si, even though the Empress Dowager didn't like Concubine Si, she couldn't help but smile. "The little grandson of the Ai family, since he has been named 'Ren', why not call him 'Lin'. From now on, I, Da Yan, will always have plenty of fish and rice, and let all nations come to court. Reward."

   Concubine Cui Shu, the mother of King Ming, suppressed the depression in her heart, and let the vixen take the lead again.

  Eunuch Lin continued to write the title: "The Eighteen Changes of the Women's University, the more they change, the more beautiful they are, and I have an idiom."

   This time the answer is Princess Li. "The queen mother's questions are always so festive and auspicious. I guess the answer is the beauty of adults."

   According to the rules, it will be rewarded.

  Everyone had a great time guessing, and Baicaoshi has already patted her stomach.

   It's really rare, the royal family banquet can be full.

  Shen Liqing didn't move a mouthful, but Ying Zheming picked up vegetables, piled up on the hill. "Li Qing, you eat some. You, lose weight."

   "It's rare for the Queen Mother to be in high spirits, so we should cooperate more." Shen Liqing gave a reason.

  At that time, the elegant music in the palace sounded, and Eunuch Lin came up with a question, "Mysterious face and fairy music, play an idiom."

  Shen Liqing replied: "Extraordinary."

  …

   There were seven or eight riddles in succession, and more than half of the last ones were answered by Shen Liqing. Everyone went from high interest at the beginning to lack of interest.

  Eunuch Lin said: "On the fifteenth day, raise your eyebrows and type an idiom."

  Shen Liqing replied: "Justify yourself."

   Just at this moment, Baicaoshi stretched her waist, wanting to exercise when she was full.

  This little action fell into Shen Liqing's eyes, and she suddenly asked: "Madam Bai didn't say a word in the audience, but you are not interested in guessing lantern riddles?"

   Now the audience was a little excited, thinking about how Baicaoshi would answer.

  Ying Zhezhe, who was sitting next to the Queen Mother, smiled and said, "Zhe Yu, Shi Shi, you and your wife are really too. You sat so far away and didn't answer a single question, but I don't care."

   Baicaoshi looked at Zhe Yu, he was at ease, and didn't care that everyone was targeting them. "Back to the queen mother, back to the eldest princess, the food in the palace is too delicious, I can't bear to let you down."

  So, patronize and eat.

  As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar. Especially Ying Zheqi, who kept curling his lips. After all, he was from the country, and he couldn't stop his mouth when he saw delicious food.

   Emperor Yanwu laughed, "Shishi is a straightforward person."

  Shen Liqing took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, I heard people say that honest people often look at questions differently from ordinary people. Maybe Miss Shishi will be ingenious when she answers the questions."

  Zhe Yu stood up, and tucked his wife behind him, "The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess, Shishi, she only knows how to think about herbal prescriptions, gourmet food and medicinal food, and she doesn't know how to guess riddles. Please don't embarrass her."

  The more he said this, the more relentless others became. Ying Zheqi said: "Sister-in-law Sanhuang just answered this question, why not let Mrs. Bai try it."

   Can't shirk it, Baicaoshi poked her head out from behind Zheyu, her eyes rolled around, thinking hard, I'm sorry Ouyang God, I will borrow your poem. "When you start to raise your eyebrows at fifteen, there are many reasons why people raise their eyebrows. I think..."

  She made a fool of herself, but pointed her finger far outside the hall, "The delicious food and beautiful scenery can't be let down. At this moment, the willow branches are on the moon, and it's pleasant after dusk."

   It’s been a good month to go to the head of the willow, and make an appointment after dusk!

  So Shiwu began to raise his eyebrows, because he was going on a date. Isn't dating a hundred times more enjoyable than guessing riddles?

  Concubine Si's eyebrows were affectionate, and she looked at Emperor Yanwu, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, as if to say, "Your Majesty, do you want an appointment?"

  Ying Zheming stretched out his hand, trying to cover Shen Liqing, but Shen Liqing dodged without a trace.

  The queen mother laughed, "Okay, okay, those of you who brought the concubine and side concubine, just make an appointment to enjoy the moon."

   Several couples couldn't wait, and rushed to the outside of the hall happily.

   "Ah Xu, you are going back to Wanzhou, have you packed everything?"

  Zhe Yu said: "Everything is ready, we can start tomorrow."

  The princes let out a long sigh of relief, so what if they look alike, don’t they want to go far away? Wanzhou is prosperous and peaceful, after all, how can it compare to Yanjing? As long as he is not in Yanjing, he is not a threat.

  The queen mother sighed, she was going to leave after all, so let's go. But he couldn't go on the road alone, he looked at the emperor. "I heard that Axu was attacked by gangsters on his way to Beijing." The implication is, what about the equipment? What about the team? The guard of honor that should be kept up.

  Emperor Yan Wu touched his scalp, "Mother, at that time, I will send a team from the Imperial Forest Army to **** them back to Wanzhou."

  Five people make a team, twenty-five people make a team, and a hundred people make a team. So a team is one hundred people.

   "From now on, that team will stay with A Xu. All princes and princes will have their own guards."

   Yes, the Queen Mother said that Zhe Yu had more than a hundred private guards.

  Zhe Yu and Baicaoshi thank you.

  The queen mother stood up, supported by Ying Zhezhe, "Aijia will not send you off tomorrow, the mountains are high and the water is long, so be careful on your own way."

  Life has been painful and parting since ancient times, and the Queen Mother is also inevitable.

  The crowd dispersed, Zhe Yu took Baicao Shi to Dongshi to visit the Lantern Festival, and then returned to Xuwang Mansion. And tomorrow, they will set foot on the road home.

  On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, a team set off from the imperial city and headed south.

  Compared to Oruha's loneliness when he entered Beijing, many new members have been added to the team. Zhenyilou returned to the team, Duan Shaoyi and Luge in disguise joined, and added a Royal Forest Army, among which those who lived in counties near Wanzhou or in the south were specially selected, which can be regarded as a favor from the royal family.

  Zhe Yu stood on the body of Huang Puma—Huang Lu, and waved goodbye to the palace wall.

  Baicaoshi was sitting in the carriage with the curtains opened, and was waving.

   This business earns a lot of money. Her space is equivalent to the capacity of four sorting boxes. It contains a lot of rare herbs and gold, silver and jewelry. They are all rewards from Emperor Yanwu and the Queen Mother. She can start her career when she returns.

  Suddenly closing her eyes, she saw a lonely figure in the distance, it was the Prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the book boy Yun'an.

  Five fingers were two short and three long, and Bai Shaoze was about to snap.

  If the mother is really the person in the painting, then maybe in the near future, she can consider going to Beiqi.
