My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 21 The fat cadre of the River Department is being targeted

Soon, the three of them took their seats.

Princess Qinghuan was in the middle. Jiang Shiyuan and Pei Zifan sat down on either side. The maids filed in, with dishes in triplicate placed on the lacquer plates in their hands. In a short time, the table was filled.

Looking at the dishes in front of her, Princess Qinghuan made a suggestion.

"Don't you love eating fresh river food? Then you must try the Biluo shrimp in front of you. If you like it, ask the cook to make it for you with Meishan fog tea someday. I think you will like it more."

The princess mansion is so luxurious that even a thousand or two thousand gold Meishan fog tea can be used as an ingredient in cooking. Princess Qinghuan can tell that the cooks can do it, but Jiang Shiyuan thinks it is a bit wasteful, so he smiles and replies Finished sentence.

"It's quite novel. Let me try it first."

Seeing her twirling her entrance with chopsticks and showing some surprise on her expression, Princess Qinghuan was satisfied and asked quickly.

"How about it?"

"It really tastes good."

"If you like it, then you can try something else. I think you will also like the braised river eel."

The cooks in the princess's house all know Jiang Shiyuan's taste, so the dishes in front of her are all low in oil and salt, and mainly fresh. Even if it is braised, the seasonings are not that heavy, so she always Eat without making a sound.

Seeing how carefully she was eating, Pei Zifeng felt that the food on the table was much more delicious even without using his chopsticks. Princess Qinghuan did not pick up Qiao, but glanced at him before he even started, and said something immediately.

"Why, there's no wine on the table, General Pei. Is this food going to be hard to swallow?"

"Princess, I misunderstood. I was just wondering which dish to eat first."

Princess Qinghuan glanced at his expression, and then said something to the maid serving beside him.

"Go and bring me the acacia wine that my princess has collected. I drink it most happily on such occasions. Ah Nian is not allowed to shirk it today. How about having a few drinks with me?"

Albizia Julibrissin, as the name suggests, is made by soaking Albizia Julibrissin flowers in wine. And the bottling this time is not the common celadon Ru kiln bottle, but a translucent crystal bottle, and three matching crystal cups, all made The banana leaf shape is really interesting.

It was full of wine, with the crystal as the base, and the original pink color of the Albizia Julibrissin making people a little intoxicated at just one glance. The aroma was rich. Jiang Shiyuan put it under his nose and smelled it, and then said decisively.

"Princess, this is the new bar last year."

"As expected, it is my princess's wine companion. You can tell it as soon as you smell it. It was brewed before the twelfth lunar month. It is only half a year old now. The taste is not old and it tastes more refreshing."

Although the aging wine is good, the two of them are not masters of wine tasting. They will get very drunk after just a few drinks. Therefore, at the party, the two of them will only drink new wine and have a few drinks to enjoy themselves.

"What do you think, General Pei?"

"I am used to drinking strong liquor in the army, and the taste of this acacia wine is a bit off."

Pei Zifeng also had a temperament that said what he had to say. Princess Qinghuan raised her eyebrows, looked around, and said teasingly.

"Since my princess has grown so big, you two are the only ones who dare to speak out. One of you doesn't like it, and the other is a bit off. If outsiders knew about it, they would think that I am afraid of you two."

Jiang Shiyuan sat half-sitting on the embroidered pier, and glanced at Princess Qinghuan with a smile. When he was about to speak, he thought that Pei Zifan was still there, so he stopped teasing her. Instead, the princess was so excited that she laughed at Chun Huan today. The princess revealed the purpose of her visit with the Crown Princess. "Let me tell you, it would be better for you not to get married. When I first knew that Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion had arranged this marriage for you, I felt it was inappropriate. It can be seen that you seem to have your own arrangements, so I I didn’t interfere, but now it seems that evil people will have their own troubles, and your second sister will not have a good life under the hands of her aunt. "

"How can I see it?"

"Guess why they came to see me today?"

Jiang Shiyuan recalled what happened in her previous life. At that time, not long after she got married, she was taken by Princess Chun to visit the princess's mansion, and then returned to Wenyuanhou's mansion for dinner. She had a long-sleeved temperament, but unfortunately it was not for her. .

"The only person who can make both the princess and the Crown Princess anxious is the Crown Prince. However, I have never heard of any discomfort with him at home, so I guess it has something to do with his errand."

Princess Qinghuan's eyes lit up, showing an expression that showed you were really smart.

"A-Nian's guess is correct. The prince's previous errand has caused trouble for this princess. Now my aunt has brought the prince's concubine to the door to make peace. From what she said, she means that she has taken a fancy to the errand of the River Department. Then But he is a fat man, and many powerful people want to reach out to him, and my aunt is no exception. "

Hearing the words "River Department", Pei Zisu paused with the wine glass in his hand. This is closely related to the iron ingot case in Luzhou. Does Prince Chun's Mansion want to intervene at this moment? Does he know something?

So he pretended not to care, but in fact he listened carefully.

"River Department? Does Princess Chun want the prince to go south?"

"I guess Concubine Xun has done something behind her back. Speaking of which, Prince Chun's Mansion is like a leaky sieve, with holes everywhere. My aunt is not loved by Uncle Wang, and even the prince is not very favored either. On the other hand, Song Shiyun, who was the concubine of Xun, is said to have found a position as a temple commander in the Arsenal Department, and she seems to be quite capable."

The Weiwei Temple in Xijing City is responsible for guarding the palace gates and gates in the city. It has two departments, one is the Arsenal Department, and the other is the Palace Guarding Department. The second cousin Wang Kuan also serves in it. His background Well, he is also very capable. He climbed to the position of Temple Prime Minister in less than two years after entering Weiwei Temple. He is an eighth-rank official.

But Song Shiyun actually made a temple order!

That was an official of the sixth rank. Jiang Shiyuan thought that he was the eldest brother of Crown Prince Chun. Now he was in the prime of life. With him in front of him and having such a position, it was no wonder that Princess Chun wanted to move around and make plans for the Crown Prince. .

"Then what's the princess' plan?"

Pei Zisu raised his eyes and asked. Princess Qinghuan looked back at him with determination in her eyes.

"Of course I won't let my aunt succeed. Regardless of what their family did to A Nian, even the prince himself is a **** who can't be helped. If I hit the little princess, I won't deal with him. Her temper is spoiled by her aunt. I can't afford to beat him up. Isn't it obvious that such a person wants to make money in the river department? I'm not stupid, so I went to my father to speak for him."

Princess Qinghuan's words were straightforward and concise, and she demoted the prince Song Shi to be worthless. Jiang Shiyuan picked up the acacia wine in front of him and drank a glass. At this moment, he felt that he was deceived by lard in his previous life. People are actually rushing to get married.

ridiculous.

Seeing the self-mockery in her eyes, Pei Zichen felt indescribable distress. He unconsciously clenched the banana leaf crystal cup tightly in his hand, and with a little force, the cup actually cracked.

Princess Qinghuan looked at Pei Zifan in surprise.

"Even if Little General Pei doesn't like drinking this wine, there's no need to vent his anger on this princess's crystal cup. This is a rare treasure. My father found it for me specially. There are only four of them in total, and you crushed one. Only."

After hearing her words, Pei Zifeng reacted.
