Chapter 118 This is my grandson
"This...what is this?" the queen picked up a piece of chocolate and looked at Sheng Zhiyao curiously and said.
"Grandma Huang, you can try it first, I'm telling you what this is." Sheng Zhiyao said mysteriously, and then signaled the queen to take a bite first.
The queen put the chocolate in her mouth and ate it in one bite, then frowned and said, "Is this wine?"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present was stunned and looked at the queen with a look of surprise. They couldn't believe that this dark pastry would actually be wine?! How could this be possible?
"Yes, this is indeed made of a mixture of wine used in today's banquet. It is called Qiaozhonghua." Sheng Zhiyao smiled slightly and introduced to everyone.
"Qiao Zhonghua? It's a good name, very good." The queen nodded in praise, "But how did you make it? Is there a flowing wine inside the hard shell? Did you use a special method to fix the wine in it?"
"Well, Grandma Huang guessed it well. I used some methods to make the shell solidify first, and then put the wine heart in it." Sheng Zhiyao nodded and said.
"So that's the case. You're so awesome." The queen looked at Sheng Zhiyao and praised.
The taste of this flower is very special, and it is very mellow and sweet. It is worthy of being a novel snack and tastes very good, which makes the queen love it.
"Grandma Huang eats less and you will get drunk." Sheng Zhiyao couldn't help but remind her when she saw the queen eating with relish.
"It's okay, your grandma, I'm good at drinking. At worst, I can go to bed when I get drunk." The queen waved her hand and said.
Sheng Zhiyao shook her head helplessly. Sure enough, sweets are easy to make people feel good.
Seeing the guests having fun, Sheng Zhiyao also relaxed.
At this time, Zi Chu came out from somewhere: "The banquet of Shang Zhou Dynasty was indeed extraordinary, but it was less singing and dancing to make fun of it, and it was a bit unpleasant."
"Oh? What are the opinions of Princess Zi Chu?" Feng Yuanqing said with a smile.
"Zi Chu thinks that since Princess Yongchen is so knowledgeable and talented, it is better to sing a song for us, which is also an elegant thing!" Zi Chu said with a smile. She came here not only to visit the banquet held by Princess Yongchen.
"Princess Zi Chu was joking. My minor skills are nothing."
Sheng Zhiyao smiled and refused, she knew that this was a joke that Zi Chu wanted to see her, so how could she be fooled by her?
"Princess Yongchen is modest. I see your subtle skills."
"Princess Zi Chu praised it."
"Okay, don't refuse, we are all waiting."
"That's it, Princess Yongchen can't be humble anymore, otherwise everyone will be disappointed?"
"Yes, my daughters in Xichu are good at singing and dancing, and never twisted. Yongchen County mainly refuses, but looks down on us."
"Yes! Our Qi Qin girls are also riding horses and shooting archery, and even dancing is awesome."
Everyone persuaded each other, and Sheng Zhiyao sighed helplessly.
Concubine Qi was giggling secretly. She had long investigated Sheng Zhiyao showed some talent in the horse farm, but she had never hired a master and professor at home. She just taught herself. She was extremely smart and could not learn without a teacher.
She was looking forward to Sheng Zhiyao being embarrassed and humiliated, so that she could use this to humiliate her. Maybe the emperor felt that she had taken the lead and took her position as the princess.
Seeing a group of envoys and royal people cheering on the side, Sheng Zhiyao couldn't help but curse: "Damn, these guys are really restless."
At this time, Feng Yuanqing, who was standing up, stood up: "Okay, don't force the princess. Today she has done her best for this banquet, so don't make things difficult for her anymore. Besides, the old marquis has never hired a master to teach the princess. How could she do it?"
"Son of Yuanqing, are you protecting her?" Zi Chu glared at Feng Yuanqing in dissatisfaction.
"Princess Zi Chu misunderstood. I just don't want everyone to make things difficult for Princess Yongchen." Feng Yuanqing smiled, "Besides, Princess Yongchen is the only legitimate granddaughter of Marquis Sheng. If she is embarrassed, Marquis Sheng will not be able to bear the face."
"You!" Sheng Hangu, who was standing next to Old Marquis Sheng, couldn't help but was stopped.
"The grandson of the Yuanqing Emperor, the old minister doesn't care about his shamelessness when he is old. He is just a status. I think Zhiyao also disdains this status."
"Although Mr. Sheng said that, there were so many envoys from neighboring countries present. If Princess Yongchen's reputation was damaged, it would not be good for us Shang Zhou. Are you right, Grandpa Huang?" Feng Yuanqing turned his head and looked at the emperor and asked.
"Well, I naturally understand this. However, our Shang Zhou women are not as fierce as Qi Qin women, nor are they good at singing and dancing like Western Chu people. After all, we Shang Zhou are all cultural people, and girls all need to learn etiquette and rules. There is no need for our Princess Yongchen to be wronged for a mere reputation. What do you think?"
Hearing the emperor asks him what he meant, Sheng Zhiyao nodded with a smile: "Grandpa Emperor is right, but we Shangzhou people all have a unyielding character and are unwilling to be inferior. If we force us to do something we don't want, we certainly don't want it."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Zi Chu clapped his hands and shouted, "Princess Yongchen, I didn't force you to do something you don't want. I'm encouraging you to study."
Zi Chu's words were extremely sarcastic, as if he was saying that Sheng Zhiyao was ignorant of politeness, which made Sheng Hangu very angry.
"Since that's the case, why don't you let me accompany Princess Yongchen?" Feng Yuanchen watched Sheng Zhiyao walk out of the corner.
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes were on him. Everyone was surprised at who this person was. They couldn't help but look at him, looking at him in ordinary clothes, but his every move was filled with a hint of nobility, which was unignorable, especially his evil and strange eyes, which made people feel an invisible sense of oppression.
Seeing everyone's curiosity, the emperor couldn't help but smile and explained: "This is my grandson, named Feng Yuanchen."
"Feng Yuanchen, I have heard of it. It is said that he was involved in this border battle, but no one has ever known that he is the emperor's grandson. Now it seems that the rumors are true." An envoy of Qi Qin said in a low voice with a smile.
"Haha, I heard that Princess Xichu came to marry him this time."
"Oh? Is that true?" Another envoy of Qi Qin also asked curiously.
"Yes, Princess Xi Chu fell in love with Feng Yuanchen at first sight, so she came to Shangzhou. Otherwise, the Emperor of Xi Chu would not be able to bear his precious daughter."
"Oh, so Feng Yuanchen still has to thank Princess Yongchen for his matchup?"
"This is not a question. Feng Yuanchen admires Princess Yongchen very much. The two are not far apart in age, and Feng Yuanchen is the grandson of Shangzhou, so they are quite compatible. I think they can get together."
When everyone heard this, they all started to talk.
Feng Yuanchen couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when he saw everyone's eyes focused on him. Sheng Zhiyao blinked at him, signaling him not to be nervous.
Feng Yuanchen felt much more relaxed when he saw Sheng Zhiyao's playful expression.
"Since the Emperor Yuanchen is willing to accompany me, I am more respectful than obedient. I hope the Emperor Yuanchen should not dislike me for singing badly." Sheng Zhiyao said to him with a smile.
Feng Yuanchen smiled slightly, and his expression was softer at Sheng Zhiyao: "Don't worry, Princess Yongchen, how could Yuanchen dislike the princess's singing voice?"
"Okay, then thank you, Emperor Yuanchen." Sheng Zhiyao smiled.
"Please!" Feng Yuanchen stretched out a finger and made a gesture of asking.
Sheng Zhiyao nodded and then sat next to Feng Yuanchen. She opened her red lips and sang "Year Rings", which attracted everyone's attention as soon as she opened her mouth.
The circle is outlined into fingerprints and printed on my lips
The bitter kiss mark of memory is the root of the tree
The lushness of spring and autumn has covered the dusk
