Xiao Liyu returned to Chonghua Palace, smashed things all over the floor, then lay on the bed and started crying.
At this time, the emperor was still in Chonghua Palace. The palace servants were afraid of disturbing the emperor, so they did not dare to go to find Concubine Wu, so they went to find the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince is the one who looks most like Emperor Qinglong among all the princes, both in appearance and talent. It is no wonder that Emperor Qinglong favors him so much.
He walked in, asked the palace maids and eunuchs to leave first, and then came to Xiao Liyu's bed.
"Why, that person didn't bully you again?" asked the Sixth Prince. The person he was talking about was naturally Shen Fengming.
Xiao Liyu raised her head and said with red eyes, "Royal brother, do you think he doesn't like women at all?" That's why he has always treated her like this.
The Sixth Prince tapped the table with his fingers. It was indeed what was being spread outside.
While the two were talking, Concubine Wu saw off Emperor Qinglong and came to the side hall.
As soon as she entered the room and saw the debris all over the floor, her face darkened, "What are you doing? You smash things because you feel wronged. You will smash others in the future!"
It seems that I spoiled you too much in the past."
"Mother." Xiao Liyu threw herself into her arms and started crying.
"Mother, it seems that the path of marriage with the Shen family is not feasible." said the Sixth Prince.
Concubine Wu was feeling depressed, she felt the same way, but she just didn't want to give up.
"What are your plans?" she asked.
"I mentioned to you before that the son of Prince Qinghe is of the same age as the emperor's sister and is very handsome." The Sixth Prince said slowly. There was one more thing he didn't say, Prince Qinghe was one of the few people in the court who had not yet taken sides. By marrying him, he could pull him into his own camp.
"I won't marry." Before Concubine Wu could say anything, Xiao Liyu said in shock. She knew that the son of the Prince of Qinghe spent his days sleeping with prostitutes and hanging out in brothels. She felt sick just thinking about it.
"You have no say in this matter." Concubine Wu said in a deep voice. If it doesn't work, Xiao Liyu can only marry Xiao Xun, the son of the Prince of Qinghe.
"Mother." Xiao Liyu couldn't believe it. "Don't you love me anymore?" Marrying her to Xiao Xun would be like pushing her into the fire pit.
"I spoiled you too much in the past, which is why you became like this. You haven't learned any skills, and you just smash things to vent your anger. This matter concerns the future of the three of us. Think about it, if your brother can't win over the crown prince, will he still have room for us when he ascends the throne
It doesn’t matter who you marry then, you will end up being hacked to pieces.
On the contrary, you should be patient and get help for your brother. When your brother succeeds, you can do whatever you want." Concubine Wu said.
Xiao Liyu kept shaking her head, "No, no, I won't marry, I won't marry."
"Then let Shen Fengming marry you. Otherwise, you have to get married." Concubine Wu seemed to have finally made up her mind.
"Mother!" Xiao Liyu pleaded.
Concubine Wu was not moved at all.
"Royal brother, Royal brother, please help me. You love me the most. You should know that Xiao Xun is a womanizer." Xiao Liyu suddenly turned to the Sixth Prince and said aggrievedly.
The Sixth Prince frowned, "Liyu, you are my sister. After you marry Xiao Xun, he won't dare to do anything to you. You can do whatever you want with those women."
Xiao Liyu looked at the Sixth Prince with wide eyes. Why did she deal with those women? She didn't like Xiao Xun at all.
"Royal brother, I beg you, I really don't want to marry Xiao Xun, please help me, except for this matter, I will listen to you." She cried.
The Sixth Prince avoided her gaze.
"You, you guys..." Xiao Liyu couldn't believe it. These two people were her mother and brother who loved her the most. Didn't they always obey her in everything before? Why were they pushing her to a dead end now
Were they being nice to her in the past all fake? Did they just want her to marry that Xiao Xun so that they could gain power
Xiao Liyu stood up suddenly and rushed out.
"Li Yu." The Sixth Prince stood up and wanted to chase.
"Just calm down and think it through." Concubine Wu said, "It's time for her to recognize her own identity." Princess, this identity not only represents glory, but also corresponding responsibilities.
In recent years, the Xia Dynasty did not make peace with the Western Rong or Northern Di, otherwise, those who were sent over would be princesses, and none of them would be able to come back alive.
Compared to them, Xiao Liyu is considered lucky.
The Sixth Prince sat down again, feeling a little reluctant.
At this time, a palace servant came to report that Lin Ting'an, the son of Marquis Anping, wanted to see him.
"I'll be there right away," the Sixth Prince said. Then, he was about to take his leave from Concubine Wu, when he suddenly asked, "Mother, what do you think of Lin Ting'an?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Ting'an, Concubine Wu, had met him once before. He was quite a figure. However, hadn't he already stood on their side
The Sixth Prince snorted coldly, "Marquis Anping never showed up. Lin Ting'an seemed to want to help me, but he actually had a backup plan. Mother also knows that some people, who appear to have surrendered, have actually been secretly colluding with the Crown Prince.
The last time the Wuling Mountain Iron Mine incident…” Speaking of this, he was angry. He had done that thing perfectly, but he was betrayed, so he reported it to the emperor, and finally it fell into Shen Fengming’s hands.
He was almost doomed, so he didn't dare to trust the people below him.
"You mean, Lin Ting'an is..." asked Concubine Wu.
"I don't mean that. However, if Liyu marries Lin Tingan, many things will become clear." said the Sixth Prince.
"What about Prince Qinghe?" Concubine Wu hesitated.
"If Lin Ting'an wants to marry Li Yu, he must show some sincerity." said the Sixth Prince.
Concubine Wu understood what he meant. This was a solution. Moreover, Lin Ting'an's character and appearance were far better than Xiao Xun's. If Xiao Liyu married him, she would have a good ending.
"Just go and do it." Concubine Wu said.
The Sixth Prince took his leave and went to see Lin Tingan.
The two went hunting together at the Western Suburbs Hunting Ground. During their free time, he mentioned Xiao Liyu.
Lin Ting'an was so smart that he guessed what he meant immediately. Marry Xiao Liyu? He immediately thought of Jiang Yunzhu. But Jiang Yunzhu was just a restaurant owner. Even if he liked her, he would not marry her as his legal wife. He believed that Shen Fengming would not do that either.
Now you know it, he keeps her outside, just like a mistress.
But, if he really married Xiao Liyu...
His thoughts were changing in his mind, but his face did not show it. He neither refused nor agreed.
The Sixth Prince did not continue the topic, but only invited Lin Ting'an to go boating on the lake together tomorrow, and he would bring Xiao Liyu along.
Lin Ting'an agreed.
The next morning, the Sixth Prince brought Xiao Liyu to meet up with Lin Tingan.
Xiao Liyu's eyes were a little swollen. She didn't want to come at all, but the Sixth Prince said that if she came, she might not have to marry Xiao Xun, so she came. When she saw Lin Ting'an, she turned her face away.
The person she was thinking about was still Shen Fengming.
Lin Ting'an had already found out everything about Xiao Liyu, so he naturally knew why she was like that.
She ignored him, and he was happy with it, chatting with the Sixth Prince.
The three of them seemed to get along well.
Jiang Yunxiu stood by the lake, feeling lost. She already knew that the Sixth Prince intended to marry Xiao Liyu to Lin Ting'an, and the fact that Lin Ting'an came out to cruise the lake with them today could explain something.
Jiang Yunxiu didn't understand why Xiao Liyu appeared again. In the dream, didn't Lin Ting'an marry Jiang Yunzhu as the young lady of the Marquis' Mansion
Xiao Liyu, she is the daughter of Concubine Wu and the tenth princess of the Xia Dynasty. How can I compete with her
For a moment, Jiang Yunxiu felt aggrieved and resentful. Why, why did everything seem to change after she exchanged lives with Jiang Yunzhu!
The next day, the Queen Mother seemed to have forgotten the Taibai duck that Jiang Yunzhu had cooked for her, and she no longer lost her appetite. Princess Danyang felt upset, and she no longer went to the Shiguang Restaurant or mentioned Jiang Yunzhu in front of the Queen Mother. Jiang Yunzhu's life seemed to have returned to normal.
Today, Mr. Luo's fleet returned, bringing back a lot of seafood. Five hundred miles northwest of the capital is the Bohai Bay, where Mr. Luo's fleet is anchored.
In order to establish a good relationship with Jiang Yunzhu, Boss Luo sent people to transport the seafood to the capital city overnight using an ice truck.
So the next morning, Jiang Yunzhu saw two trucks of very fresh seafood.
There were crabs that were "majestic and eloquent", sea urchins covered with thorns, octopuses crawling around, and sea fish of various colors and shapes. Jiang Yunzhu recognized some of the sea fish, but had never seen some of them before.
Jiang Yunzhu was delighted to see the prey, and said to Jin Jiaoyue, "Today's menu is seafood. You can inform those who have reserved seats. If they don't want to eat seafood, they can change the date to three days later.
By the way, some people cannot eat seafood, so we need to ask them if they have eaten seafood before and if they have any adverse reactions. If not, they can come to dine today.”
Jiang Yunzhu knew that some people were allergic to seafood. In this era, medical technology was backward. If someone had a serious allergy, they might die, which would be troublesome. So she had to be sure.
Jin Jiaoyue had actually seen someone in Qilin Guard break out in rashes after eating seafood, so she knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately agreed to do it.
Jiang Yunzhu looked at the seafood and her appetite grew.
Large swimming crabs. In early July, the roe of female crabs is not yet full, but the male crabs are already fat and just right for eating.
In the morning, cook a pot of seafood porridge with crabs. The rice porridge is bubbling in the pot, and the crabs slowly turn from green to red. The delicious aroma of crabs goes straight into people's noses.
Xue Jing had been in Wuling County before and had only seen very small river crabs. This was the first time he saw such a large sea crab and he was amazed.
Yun Du and others smelled the smell and came to the outside of the kitchen. They looked inside and swallowed their saliva.
At this time Jiang Yunzhu started to make sea urchin and steamed egg with sea urchin, she liked it!
But this sea urchin is quite difficult to handle. It has many spines on the outside, and it can prick your hand if you are not careful.
"Boss, let me do it," Zhang He said. He was very interested in this strange-looking thing.
Jiang Yunzhu was happy to have some free time and told him how to deal with sea urchins.
Then she saw the flash of the knife, and the sea urchins were processed cleanly and neatly.
"Amazing." Jiang Yunzhu exclaimed.
Zhang He's face turned slightly red.
"Boss, is this really edible?" Jin Jiaoyue came back and asked the black-faced, thorny sea urchin. She had eaten crabs before, but this one looked too weird.
Jiang Yunzhu smiled and said, “You’ll know soon.”
