The news of the Meng family's return to Beijing reached many families in less than a day.

Gu Zhao also heard these things in Qin Hou Mansion.

The Meng family was once the most popular family in the capital, but after the emperor ascended the throne, he first used the Meng family. But a few years later, it was discovered that the Meng family abused their power for personal gain and oppressed the people. Someone in the Meng family was killed. After the emperor sent people to investigate, he sentenced them to confiscation of property and exile.

In the previous life, the people from the second branch also returned to the capital early, and later occupied the old house of the Meng family. They also wanted to give their granddaughter to Prince Chen as a princess, and later they plotted against Prince Chen. However, all this was discovered by Prince Chen, who then drove the people from the second branch out of the capital.

Because of these things, the censor impeached Prince Chen, saying that Prince Chen was unfilial. The Meng family was his maternal family, so how could they be so cruel...

Now that the Meng family is back, they are planning to plot against Prince Chen again.

"Master, the Marquis and General Yun Wu have sent back a message that all the things they sent have been properly placed..."

After hearing this, Gu Zhao was very happy.

What she has left now are the seeds, and after planting next year, the quantity will be considerable.

She actually thought about keeping all of them, so that the amount would increase many times next year. But now the court only allocated half of the grain to the border, and the other half needed to be figured out by her father-in-law and the fifth brother. The land at the border was planted by the soldiers themselves.

This batch of things will definitely attract a lot of attention. She had planned to give the credit to her mother, Princess Zhaoyang, or Qin Chen, but Qin Chen and her mother felt that it was useless for them to get the credit.

Princess Zhaoyang entered the palace again, and she brought some things with her.

When the emperor heard the news, he went to Shoukang Palace.

"Mother, please try these."

When the Empress Dowager heard that Princess Zhaoyang had obtained something delicious and asked the small kitchen in Shoukang Palace to cook it for her, she was very happy.

My daughter has finally come out of her grief.

"Try it, mother."

After taking a few bites, the Queen Mother said with a smile.

"This stuff tastes very sweet and fragrant, not bad."

Just as he finished speaking, the emperor's laughter was heard at the door.

"What are the Queen Mother and the Imperial Sister talking about?"

Hearing the emperor's voice, Princess Zhaoyang slowly stood up.

"I've met the emperor brother."

The emperor looked at the pile of brightly colored and sweet things on the table.

"What kind of delicacies are these? Why have I never seen them before?"

When the Empress Dowager heard the Emperor's words, she smiled and said.

"Try it carefully."

The emperor took the food handed to him by Eunuch Hai and tasted it as well.

The taste of these things was something he had never tasted before. The emperor became interested.

“These things are quite interesting.”

"Try more if you like it." The Queen Mother advised.

The emperor nodded.

The Queen Mother and Princess Zhaoyang also continued eating.

The emperor felt his appetite was whetted because he knew that Princess Zhaoyang had sent a lot of things to the palace.

After dinner, the emperor looked at Princess Zhaoyang.

"Royal sister, did you send these things in?"

Princess Zhaoyang nodded.

"To answer my brother, it was sent in by my sister."

"What are these?"

Princess Zhaoyang opened her mouth and explained these things.

"This red one cooked with rice is sweet potato, which is planted around April every year...This one cut into pieces and fried with chili peppers is potato, which is also planted in April every year...But in some areas, it can be planted from August to November..."
