Chapter 456
The nanny's tone was calm, like a wooden man without the sense of smell: "Mrs. Hui, there is a peony pattern on the lid of your soup bowl. You did not take the bowl by mistake. It can only be because you made a mistake when loading the ingredients."

When the queen came out, her mouth was white: "Find it out, and give me a stick to kill!"

Such a small matter can't be done well, and she has lost such a big face!

"No, it's not just her alone, she gave her whole family to me..."

What she didn't know was that among the [-] people who died violently at the house of the maid in charge of prescribing the medicine that night, two of them were only death row inmates.

It was night, the emperor came to the Queen's Palace after a long absence, but before the Queen could be happy, he said with a cold face: "An Ning is busy studying and running the shop, time is short, and we will have a banquet later, so don't bother her."

"In addition, I heard that you have a bad appetite recently? It seems that the kitchen is not doing well. It just so happens that the imperial kitchen has recently taught a few new apprentices. The skills are not bad. I will ask Dezi to send them to you later."

After saying this, the emperor lit the lamp and spent the whole night in the study reviewing papers.

The queen dared not speak out, because she could tell that the emperor was warning her.

Sure enough, before going to court the next day, the emperor said again.

"The weather is warm and cold these days and it's easy to catch cold. Since the empress is not feeling well, she should take good care of her in the palace and don't have to worry about things outside."

The queen's face was pale - His Majesty wanted her to be grounded!

He must know what he did!
I just don't know if this punishment was because she wanted to harm Xiao Ran's daughter, or because the bowl of soup with ingredients was originally intended for his sweetheart, Concubine Ji!

So the bowl of soup was tampered with by His Majesty's people?
OK, very good! !

After this incident, the reputations of Yaju and Xiaoxiao became loud at the same time.

Yaju was originally the most respected place in the hearts of the noble ladies in the capital. Now that there is an inscription from the emperor, it makes them yearn even more - it seems that if they go to Yaju, they can get in touch with His Majesty the Emperor.

Yaju, which is already full of customers, is now even more difficult to find, and even the scheduled schedule is scheduled for the next year. Madam Shen smiled from ear to ear: "That's it, let's see from now on, who will dare to force us Furong?" Come to cook."

Fu Rong also felt a little dreamy: "Today I met Miss Xu's family at the door. When I first saw me, I wished I could raise my nostrils to my forehead, but today she actually greeted me and called me 'Sister Fu Rong'."

She rubbed her arm with her uninjured hand: "Teach me to be numb for a while."

Mrs. Shen poked her forehead: "Isn't this a good thing, you now have a backer."

Backer himself wrote on the sidelines: "I didn't consider this matter carefully enough. I thought the Shen family was already important enough. I didn't expect that Madam has already made Yaju so much. Even the queen has become a potential customer. It is worthy of me. It's you."

Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes, she was a talented businessman who could almost take over the Li family, such a trivial matter, hmph, even if the stinky girl praised her, she wouldn't be happy!
The grinning Mrs. Shen asked, "What did you draw?"

Xiaoxiao raised her head amidst her busy schedule: "Recipe for beauty."

Hey, if she wants to say that Mrs. Shen won't be sleepy, she looks at Xiaoxiao's list of bird's nest desserts: "Can you really beautify your face?"

Xiaoxiao curled her lips: "What, bird's nest is the saliva of swallows, and its nutrition is not as good as eggs."

Mrs. Shen was shocked: "So it's useless at all?"

Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully: "It's not completely useless. Different people have different opinions on the effect. Besides, do you drink bird's nest for nutrition?"

Without waiting for Mrs. Shen to answer, Xiaoxiao said to herself: "The consumption of rich women is all for happiness, eating, drinking and grooming are only for your happiness, other things are not important."

What she said made sense, and it was hard for Mrs. Shen to disagree.

Xiaoxiao added: "Furthermore, what Bird's Nest earns is rich people's money, so we don't have to lose our hearts."

Madam Shen suddenly felt as if she had been taken advantage of for many years.

From the second day onwards, Yaju launched a series of nourishing and nourishing packages including bird's nest. Once the package was launched, it became very popular. Not only the ladies in the capital rushed to order, but even people from other places continued to come here.

Xiaoxiao strikes while the iron is hot, pulling Rong Yan and Zhang Luo to chain the inn, very busy.

When the emperor found out about this, he carefully summarized the scope of Xiaoxiao's dabbling these days, and was surprised to find that the Xiao family seemed to have suddenly escaped poverty and became rich!
He and You Yan came to dine with each other proudly, and Xiao Ran made him fat because of the hospitality while complaining about him.

In the blink of an eye, another year, the watermelon harvest at the border customs has been bumper, and the output can finally meet the normal supply inside the customs.

As long as it wasn't a Lengtouqing who had just entered the sea, no bandit or bandit would dare to come to find bad luck - those evil stars were not easy to provoke, and it was not impossible for them to get angry and take the bandit's den directly.

Whether it is sending food from within the customs to the border towns, or sending watermelons, grapes and cantaloupes from outside the customs to the inside of the customs, there is no mission that Great Wall Freight cannot fulfill.

As a result, the people outside the pass never went hungry, and the people inside the pass lived a more colorful life.

County magistrate Shen took the new rice seeds and traveled almost half of Daxia. In nearly two years, he not only managed the emperor's mission beautifully, but also discovered a group of grassroots officials who were really capable and practical. With the help of these people, new rice seeds are blooming everywhere, and will soon fill all the land in Daxia.

Emperor Longyan Dayue arranged another errand for County Magistrate Shen - to build the world's granary.

Under Chen Yong's urging, the Luozhou dam became a powerful moat to prevent floods, and the popularization of new agricultural tools, including waterwheels, also largely became a reliable backing for the people to have enough food and clothing.

Everything seems to be very stable, but in the palace examination not long ago, the emperor saw an answer sheet that made him extremely satisfied.

The title of this answer sheet is - Prepare for danger in times of peace.

The examinee carefully analyzed the pros and cons of the people's livelihood in various parts of the Great Xia. Different from those superficial essays, the emperor found that although the examinee's policy was not as rhetorical as others, it was very specific and practical, and had many insights, which were really feasible.

After reading the answer sheet, the emperor even couldn't wait to implement several new laws proposed in the article, and the construction of granaries was one of them.

On the day of the palace examination, the emperor asked very curiously: "Who wrote it?"

A young man in the crowd who was neither humble nor overbearing responded, "Student Ning Ansheng is an examinee in Xijiang County."

Ning?

Looking at the young man's vigorous face, the emperor thought to himself that it couldn't be such a coincidence.

"Ning Ansheng, right? Let me ask you, how did you get to know the customs of these places you wrote on the answer sheet?"

Ning Ansheng said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the student once traveled with the teacher on a study tour. Although what is written in the article may not be completely correct, it is what the student saw and felt personally."

This alone is beyond the reach of many candidates.

The emperor asked him again: "The big exam is coming soon, and you still go out to travel, aren't you afraid of delaying the time for reading?"

Ning Ansheng showed a warm smile: "The student's sister... the student's family once said a word."

"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles; traveling thousands of miles is not as good as reading countless people; reading countless people is not as good as being guided by a famous teacher, and being guided by a famous teacher is not as good as enlightening yourself."
