After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl

Just at this time, the Imperial Household Department played ceremonial music in the Summer Palace.

As the fireworks exploded, the sky was filled with bright and brilliant fireworks.

So, putting aside the matter of the Western Xinjiang trade route for the time being, A Bao invited Zhao Chuance to eat hot pot first.

Tonight's hotpot was just for a small gathering with friends, and since we chose the high place at Zhaixing Tower where there was no one else around, Abao was able to do as he pleased.

She pulled Xuanyuan Fengran along and found a low couch by the window to sit on.

Looking at the table full of ingredients, they were all specially prepared for the Lantern Festival gathering tonight.

Two copper pots, with different flavors of soup bases from the imperial capital and Western Xinjiang, so that Zhao Chuan Ce would not get used to it.

There are also some ingredients unique to Xinjiang.

Zhao Chuan Ce has been away from home for almost two months, and this Lantern Festival is a reunion night. Since she wants to make Zhao Chuan Ce her ally in the future, she should take good care of him.

Of course, the most important thing is.

She specifically consulted Lao Debao and finally understood her uncle's taste.

Half an hour later, Abao and his friends were enjoying the hotpot.

Hongxiu lifted the curtain and came in.

The white porcelain bowl was filled with freshly cooked glutinous rice balls, all of which were made by Abao himself earlier.

She made special marks in advance, the one with pine nut and orange candy was for Xie Wuai, the one with red bean quicksand was for Xuanyuan Fengran, and the last one was for Zhao Chuance.

Xuanyuan Fengran took a bite and said, "Quicksand filling?"

"Hmm!" A Bao said with a smile, "Uncle, do you think it tastes good?"

Xuanyuan Fengran of course thought it was delicious.

But just as he was about to give a sincere compliment, Xie Wuai was surprised and exclaimed.

"Wow?! Aren't these dumplings, Zhao Chuan Ce, too expensive? My dear sister, you actually used frost fruit as the filling for the dumplings for Zhao Chuan Ce?"

The words were so shocking that even Xuanyuan Fengran took notice.

The glutinous rice balls with a hole in them in Zhao Chuance's bowl were indeed frost-covered fruits.

Because it is rare and precious, the price of frost fruit is higher than gold.

As for red bean lava, it certainly cannot compare with frost fruit.

Xuanyuan Fengran stared at the quicksand dumplings in the bowl: "..."

A Bao was nervous: "..."

Xie Wuai was simply curious about the food, "These are the frost fruit dumplings that are worth more than gold! Are they delicious?"

Zhao Chuan Ce didn't expect that the dumplings prepared by A Bao for him were made with frost fruit.

He stared at Po, not hiding his surprise and happiness, "Mm! Delicious! Very delicious!"

A Bao was so worried that he just wanted to scratch his head.

When making the dumplings tonight, she was only thinking about catering to everyone’s taste.

Zhao Chuance liked frost fruit the most, so she took it and used it without really thinking much about it.

Xuanyuan Fengran liked red bean paste, so she used red bean lava filling, which had the same flavor as the glutinous rice balls in her bowl.

A Bao took a deep breath, secretly tugged at the corner of Xuanyuan Fengran's robe, and was about to explain.

Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Fengran rubbed her head and gently comforted her: "The most important thing is to be suitable. Don't worry, the emperor's uncle is not angry."

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Fengran took another bite of his quicksand glutinous rice balls, "Uncle Huang likes red bean quicksand, especially the one cooked by Abao, which tastes great and is soft and delicate."

It's such a relief to meet someone who understands my feelings.

A Bao pursed his lips and smiled softly, his heart filled with warmth.

After three rounds of drinks, all the food on the table was cleared out.

On this Lantern Festival night, Abao had the rare opportunity to enjoy a whole bowl of glutinous rice balls and a full meal.

When returning to the inner hall of the East Palace, she was carried all the way back by Xuanyuan Fengran.

While leaning on Xuanyuan Fengran's shoulder and looking at the full moon and the starry sky, the slightly drunk A Bao murmured, "Uncle, do you think that in the future, wherever the bright moon shines, will the people of Daqi live well?"

"meeting."

"Uncle, are you so sure?"

"You have a kind heart, but you can also be cruel. This is how an emperor's heart should be."

A Bao put his arms around Xuanyuan Fengran's neck, "Uncle, don't blame me for not letting you get involved in the gold trade. It's just that my father is so afraid of you. Once he smells any clues that you want to make money, I'm afraid I can't protect you."

The moonlight pours down like water.

In the long corridor of the East Palace, Xuanyuan Fengran carried Abao tightly on his back with steady steps.

"Zhao Chuance has a talent for business and was born in the Zhao Palace in Western Xinjiang."

"Electing the virtuous and capable, this is what an emperor should do."

"But there is one thing."

The subject changed, and Abao only heard his uncle's solemn reminder.

"The business and the escort agency can be prepared at the same time. Once the business and the escort agency are open throughout Daqi, it will be more convenient to pass on the news."

Hearing this, Abao smiled with bright eyes.

She leaned close to Xuanyuan Fengran's ear and whispered coaxingly, "It turns out that the emperor's uncle understands me the best."

"It's just..." A Bao deliberately said, "Although I think so, but since both the business and the escort agency are being prepared at the same time, I'm afraid there won't be much money left in my hands."

As he spoke, A Bao raised his eyes and stared at Xuanyuan Fengran, deliberately saying sadly: "When the time comes, the emperor's uncle will have to follow me and eat plain food and bran."

"Uncle, thank you for your hard work."

Xuanyuan Fengran's eyes were filled with a gentle smile: "The emperor's uncle is easy to take care of."

"really?"

"Yes."

Xuanyuan Fengran, "No need for frost fruit, red bean quicksand can feed them."

Upon hearing the word "frost fruit", Abao frowned.

I'll tell you! I can't let go of the bowl of frost fruit dumplings I gave to Zhao Chuan Ce tonight!

A Bao immediately promised, "Uncle, I will reflect on this immediately!"

Xuanyuan Fengran lowered his eyes and laughed, "Oh."
