"Good Holly, you can keep an eye on me the whole time. I really only make wine and never touch it."

In fact, Geng Rou wanted to go over and ask Yinzhen for his opinion, but when she thought that Yinzhen might refuse, she didn't want to speak.

But she didn't really want to drink.

She still wanted this child very much.

Dongqing couldn't do anything to her, so she said, "I will keep an eye on the princess."

Geng Rou laughed and hugged Dong Qing, "Good Dong Qing, you are the best."

Dongqing found a clean jar for Geng Rou and went to the small kitchen to get some sugar.

Dong Qing was about to leave, Shang Yanhui called her over, "I made some red bean paste sugar cakes today, you can take some and eat them."

Dong Qing's face was full of joy: "Sister Yan Hui, since you came, my mouth has never been idle."

Shang Yan replied: "I like watching you eat the food I make the most. It's good that you have a lot of things to do."

"By the way, why do you suddenly want so much candy?"

Dong Qing said: "Nothing, it's just that Gege suddenly wants to eat something sweet."

Shang Yan turned around and fetched another pile of sugar cakes. "Princess, if you want to eat something, have this. It's still hot."

Holly was not in a position to explain too much to her, so she hurried away with the sugar biscuits.

Shang Yanhui narrowed his eyes.

Geng Rou squinted her eyes happily.

Although you can't drink it now, it smells good. These grapes and sugar will turn into fine wine after a period of time.

She hid the jar deeply and did not intend to let Yinzhen know.

Now that the weather is hot, the wine will be ready in a month.

Geng Rou carefully opened the jar and took a deep breath of the sweet aroma of wine.

She looked at the jar of wine with regret.

If only I could drink it.

Forget it, let’s talk about it next year.

After a while, Shang Yanhui came in again, bringing today's lunch.

As soon as she entered the room, she smelled a faint smell of alcohol.

Geng Rou felt a little guilty at this moment, "Why did you come so early today?"

"This morning I went to collect dew from the lotus leaves, picked fresh lotus leaves, and made beggar's chicken. This should be eaten while it's hot, so I prepared it earlier."

Geng Rou was quite happy to hear about beggar's chicken.

"Where is this dish from? It's rare to hear such a name in the palace."

Shang Yan replied: "This is a dish from Changshu, Jiangsu. There is a little story behind it."

"Oh? What's the story?"

"There was a beggar at the foot of Yushan Mountain in Changshu who got a chicken. Without any cooking utensils or seasonings, he killed the chicken, removed the internal organs, wrapped it in lotus leaves, covered it with mud, and roasted it over a fire. The aroma spread everywhere, and this way of eating it gradually spread."

Shang Yanhui smiled and said, "Don't think that this dish was invented by a beggar. It's actually very delicious. The chicken I made is made with wine and yellow mud. The chicken tastes like a light aroma of wine, but there is no wine in it at all."

Geng Rou became very interested when she heard this.

"You know me well enough. There are rewards for every reward."

"Then I will accept it."

Geng Rou was about to pick up her chopsticks when she heard her say, "By the way, Princess, why don't you give this beggar's chicken a new name?"

"Let's call it wishing to be a pair of wings in the sky."

The man's low, smiling voice rang out.

When Geng Rou looked up, she suddenly saw Yinzhen's face and she felt a little guilty.

After all, she had just looked at the wine.

And when she heard that the chicken smelled of wine, she was so happy.

She glanced at Yinzhen again and found that he was not angry.

She felt completely relieved.

After finishing his meal, Yinzhen prepared to leave.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw the cook waiting for him.

Yinzhen paused, his expression unremarkable, could it be that this cook wanted to get close to him?

"Fourth Master, I am waiting here today because I have something to say to you."

"You said."

"I know that I am the princess's person now. It would not be a good idea to tell the Fourth Master rashly. But the Fourth Master also told me to pay attention to the princess's health..."

"Fourth Master, I just walked into the princess' room and smelled alcohol."

Yinzhen's face darkened when he heard this.

He's going back soon.

But when he reached the door, he did not forget to say to her, "Well done."

As soon as Yinzhen returned to the yard, he saw Dongqing waiting at the door.

When Dongqing saw Yinzhen, she wanted to tell him something loudly, but Yinzhen raised his hand to stop her.

Holly's face was filled with anxiety.

This is how to do ah?

Yinzhen strode past her and walked into the room, where he saw Geng Rou dragging a jar out from the corner.

"What are you doing?!"

Geng Rou shuddered with fear.

She turned around and saw Yinzhen, and hurriedly tried to push the wine jar back.

Yinzhen's face was gloomy.

Geng Rou quickly explained, "Fourth Master, I didn't drink it, I just brewed some and prepared..."

"what to prepare?"

Geng Rou's brain was working rapidly.

Suddenly, she had an idea.

"Ready to send it to you!"

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Give it to me?"

Geng Rou nodded vigorously.

Yinzhen's eyes fell on her lower abdomen.

In fact, he believed Geng Rou when she said she didn't drink. He also saw how much effort she had made to keep the child.

But if she makes wine today, she might want to drink again tomorrow.

He still had to teach her a lesson.

"Dongqing knew about this but didn't report it. He allowed you to brew wine. He shall be punished with ten strokes of the cane."

Geng Rou's eyes were filled with horror.

"Fourth Master, this is what I want to do. I asked Dong Qing to keep it a secret."

"If you want to punish me, punish me."

"Even if you ask her to keep it a secret, she shouldn't keep it a secret on such an important matter. This is what she deserves."

There was a hint of fear in Geng Rou's eyes.

"Fourth Master, Dong Qing is loyal to me. If he is beaten with ten sticks, I'm afraid he will lose half his life."

"Su Peisheng, tell the executioners to be gentle and spare his life."

"By the way, take this wine with you too."

After saying this, Yinzhen turned and left.

Su Peisheng fell behind by a step and went over to pick up the jar of wine.

He lowered his voice and said to Geng Rou, who was a little absent-minded: "Princess, the prince is not really angry with you. Don't worry, Dongqing is fine."

Su Peisheng felt that this was enough.

Geng Rou's eyes lit up and she nodded.

-----------------

Yinzhen returned to his residence.

Su Peisheng thought about it and placed the jar of wine in front of Yinzhen.

"Are you asking me to drink?"

"Didn't the princess say that this wine is made for you? Why don't you try it, Master?"

Yinzhen: "Let's wait till night."

He paused and added, "Ask the cook at Genggege's place to come and make a table of food to go with the wine."

Yixiu soon found out what happened to Geng Rou.

She froze for a moment.

I'm afraid Yinzhen's action was also for Geng Rou's own good.

In this life, Yinzhen paid more attention to Geng Rou, which was quite different from his previous life.

Moreover, Yinzhen would consider the issue from Geng Rou's perspective. He would not be ruthless to Dong Qing, but just wanted to warn Geng Rou.

-----------------

At night, Yinzhen put down his official duties and prepared to taste the wine brewed by Geng Rou.

As soon as the jar was opened, a rich aroma of wine overflowed.

Yinzhen thought that Geng Rou’s wine-making skills were quite good, no wonder she always wanted to make wine.

The wine is not particularly intoxicating, and it doesn't feel uncomfortable even if you drink it alone.

Without waiting for Shang Yanhui to bring up the snacks, he started drinking by himself.

When Shang Yan came back, Yinzhen was already slightly drunk.

Shang Yanhui deftly placed all the side dishes in front of Yinzhen.

"Su Peisheng, Su Peisheng! Pour the wine."

Yinzhen, slightly drunk, started calling Su Peisheng again.

Shang Yanhui directly picked up the wine jar and filled Yinzhen's cup with wine.

Yinzhen raised his hazy eyes and looked at her.

"Sit down and have a drink together."

Shang Yanhui was a little at a loss, but still sat down.

The moonlight is strong.

For the first time, Yinzhen thought that this cook was so beautiful.

She was no longer sixteen or seventeen years old, but in her twenties. She looked older than the women in the backyard and had a more mature look.

Yinzhen poured her a glass of wine.

Shang Yanhui stammered, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yinzhen smiled.

-----------------

Early the next morning, Yinzhen brought Shang Yan back and made her a princess.

The whole government was shocked.

Especially Yixiu.

The reason why Yinzhen favored Li Jingui was because Xueqing drugged him.

What about this time?

Yixiu thought of her temperament which was exactly the same as An Lingrong's.

Perhaps it was Shang Yanhui's own plan.

However, it was Yinzhen who wanted to drink the wine and ordered the side dishes himself, so it seemed that the woman could not be blamed.

Even if Shang Yanhui wanted to climb into Yinzhen's bed again, how could he succeed if Yinzhen refused?

However, when Shang Yan returned his greeting, Yixiu felt that he seemed to have misunderstood.

Shang Yan looked back very respectfully, even a little frightened.

She even proposed an idea, "Fujin, please let me continue to take care of Genggege."

Yi Xiu said calmly: "Since you are now a princess, don't call yourself a slave. As for taking care of Geng Gege, I will leave it to you. If there is any problem with her diet, you will bear full responsibility."

Shang Yan replied: "Your servant...I will definitely do my best."

After hearing what Shang Yanhui said in front of Yixiu, Geng Rou was not angry at all, but rather felt moved.

"Yan Hui, now we can really be sisters for life."

Shang Yanhui sighed softly, "I have failed you. You trusted me so much, but this is not..."

"It doesn't matter. How can fate be determined by you and me? As women, we can only let nature take its course and go with the flow."

"No!" Shang Yanhui was a little agitated, "Who said we can only accept the fate?"

Geng Rou raised her head and asked, "Why are you suddenly so excited?"

Shang Yanhui paused.

"Nothing, just thinking about last night..."

Geng Rou patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid. You are in this palace, at least you have me to support you."

Shang Yanhui nodded, "Don't worry, I will take good care of the baby in your belly."

-----------------

Amid the intrigues among the women in the backyard, everyone in Prince Yong's mansion moved to the Forbidden City.

Emperor Kangxi continued to live in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, while Yinzhen moved to the Yuqing Palace.
