After finishing the main course, Crown Princess sent someone to bring the orchid cake that was prepared earlier.
This is a kind of foreign countries into the palace of the expensive pastry, the main ingredients are cheese and rose jam, the taste is somewhat like cream cheese, each pastry is carved into the appearance of orchids, mixed with a light floral aroma, into the mouth and cheeks of the fragrance, as if in the chewing of creamy flower petals.
Because this kind of pastry is difficult to preserve, so in the palace is more rare, the crown princess in the past will be used as this pastry to capture the seventh prince bait, cheat this little guy to the crown prince hall to the crown prince to relieve boredom.
Today, the Crown Princess served a whole box of twelve pastries for everyone to enjoy, not only did she give two orchid cakes to each of the three little emperors, but even Xue Yao had a share.
Xue Yao knew that this kind of pastry was very rare, so of course he pushed it over to the several princes to enjoy.
Prince Consort kindly smiled at him and said: "This pastry is me and the two imperial kitchen butchers, according to the orchid cake modulation out of the taste may not be as good as the real thing, the son of the face of the taste of one or two."
Xue Yao was a bit surprised, having never been treated so politely by the Crown Princess before, he was a bit puzzled for a moment.
After the meal, several young emperors went to the courtyard to show the crown prince the results of half a year's martial arts practice.
The Crown Princess invited Xue Yao to rest under the gazebo, and the two of them gossiped for a few moments.
It turned out that the Crown Prince had told the Crown Princess of Xue Yao's deeds of driving away the plague and controlling epidemics in Ping Rong County, so she admired and respected Xue Yao.
"Mr. Xue has come through great difficulties for His Highness on several occasions, as early as the day he returned to the capital, I wanted to invite him to the palace for a small gathering to say thank you, and today, I finally expect him to come." The Crown Princess politely expressed her extremely sincere thanks to Xue Yao.
Facing Xue Yao at the moment, she still couldn't believe that this humble young man with a low profile and few words could have done such a magnificent and heroic deed.
Because Xue Yao often accompanied the Seventh Prince, the Crown Princess had met him many times.
Once upon a time, I only felt that this young man was exceptionally modest and polite, never deliberately inviting credit in front of the master to show his eyes.
Only when the Seventh Prince moved his eyebrows and twisted his waist could he see Xue Yao knowingly fulfill the young prince's every need.
After neatly serving the young prince, Xue Yao once again retreated without a sound, his behavior was so low key that people often thought he was mediocre and incompetent.
If not for the fact that he was born with a beautiful face, much more eye-catching than the other accompanying readers, the Crown Princess was afraid that she would have no impression of him.
When the Crown Prince mentioned Xue Yao in private, he was very emotional, and even used the comment "puzzling".
The group of Tong Fei's party members who had been mixed up in the officialdom for decades had not gotten such an evaluation from the Crown Prince, and Xue Yao, such an eighteen year old teenager, had given the Crown Prince such a profound and unfathomable impression, which made the Crown Princess admire him.
"With your son's talent, why haven't you been enrolled in the imperial examinations so far?" The Crown Princess was very curious about Xue Yao's low-profile style; with such talent, he was willing to be a small companion by the side of the Seventh Prince.
"Your Highness is too kind, I'm just a little smart, I don't have the ability to serve as an official and rule the country." Xue Yao nodded and humbly said.
"If you're so talented and can only be counted as smart, then there's no place for fools like me." The Crown Princess looked enviously at Xue Yao: "If I had three of your talents, I would have been able to arrange for Jin to solve some of the troubles, and not occupy the position of Crown Princess for nothing, causing people to resent me."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Crown Princess realized that she had slipped up and hurriedly smiled and invited Xue Yao to have some tea, turning her head to look at the Crown Prince who was not far away from the young emperors.
"Blessed by Your Highness' high opinion, I've taken the liberty of asking, why is Your Highness so presumptuous?" Xue Yao felt that what this girl had just said came from her heart.
Apparently, there was something wrong with the Prince Consort's mindset.
I still remember the previous day when the crown prince was raising food to return to the palace, the husband and wife were looking at each other all the way to the outside of the palace.
Cold dog food mercilessly slapped at Xue Yao's face in a haphazard manner.
How could such a loving couple, how could the wife come up with such thoughts of inferiority?
Frankly speaking, Xue Yao hoped that the couple had a particularly good relationship, so good that His Highness the Crown Prince couldn't afford to leave his wife widowed.
This small calculation had been buried in Xue Yao's heart for a long time.
He had gone to such great lengths to preserve the position of the Crown Prince, and if he went on a journey two years later and still couldn't prevent the Crown Prince from losing his life for saving the Emperor's life, it would be a great loss.
However, now that the Crown Prince had not been deposed, there was no possibility of the Emperor's posthumous announcement of another successor, and Consort Tong should not be able to pull any tricks to make the Third Prince succeed the throne.
Even if the crown prince died, in order it should be the second prince succeeded to the throne, the throne has nothing to do with the third prince.
But the second prince s person ...... really makes Xue Yao feel unreliable.
The second prince spends all his time in the monastery, and when he succeeds the throne, he will become the Daqi Dynasty version of Emperor Jiajing.
The biggest pitfall is that this one feels very unassuming.
In the original, the day the news of the death of the emperor and the abolition of the crown prince was sent back to the palace, the second prince suddenly evaporated.
In this life, if the second prince also so come a hand to evaporate, do not need to Tong Fei make means, the third prince is going to be submissive inheritance of the throne.
Now the only one who could overthrow the power of Consort Tong's third prince, the seventh prince, had already been raised as a husky by Xue Yao, and if the future was still a repeat of the old mistakes, it would really have to be a total loss.
Out of this layer of consideration, the Crown Princess's relationship with the Crown Prince was also an idle matter that Xue Yao needed to meddle with more.
It was highly unlikely that the Prince, who was deeply rooted in Confucianism, would want to make his wife's happiness more important than his old man's life.
However, not being able to let go of even the smallest of possibilities, Xue Yao still donned the warm-hearted skin of a friend of women and provided the Crown Princess with ideological enlightenment and technical guidance.
Although he had lived two lifetimes as a single dog and really didn't understand the mind of a girl, but! As a man, he at least knew what kind of women men liked.
The Crown Princess did not dare to reveal her thoughts to Xue Yao, but only said something about her own talentlessness and clumsiness.
Xue Yao felt that she couldn't let go of herself, so she could only use her own brain to analyze the situation of the Crown Princess, and the Crown Prince's attitude towards the Crown Princess, and eventually came up with some guesses, so she boldly said to the Crown Princess, "Forgive me for being bold, but His Highness the Crown Prince has never had a side consort, and most of the time, he is more in love than in favor, as if he is separated by an impenetrable wall, with a little bit more than respect, but more than intimacy. Insufficient."
The Crown Princess was so shocked by his abruptness that she instantly turned red, bowing her head in fear and saying, "These trivial matters, how can I trouble the Prince for advice?"
"It's me being talkative." Xue Yao sighed, "I just can't bear to see an immortal beauty like the Empress not get some of the joys of an ordinary couple."
The Crown Princess couldn't help but be curious, "What about ordinary couples?"
Xue Yao vigilantly looked around to see that no one was nearby before whispering to the Crown Princess, "The common folk are all monogamous, with their wives as dignified and respectful as the Empress on the outside, but at home, they're the ones who are as spontaneous as Princess Shih."
The Crown Princess was slightly startled, having been poked in the soft underbelly.
Who wouldn't envy the concubines in the entire harem who have been in favor for ten years?
Privately, they all fantasized that they could make their husbands spellbound by offering a charming dance in front of them.
But the harem desperately practicing dance in an attempt to emulate the Shi Fei so many women, and did not see who can share away the Shi Fei half of the honor.
Therefore, everyone felt that Princess Shio's favor relied on her amazing looks, and that the others could not envy her.
However, after ten years of being together, Xue Yao was very clear about the reason why Consort Shi was favored - it was never just because of her looks.
Of course, beauty is an important factor, but let the emperor infatuation does not diminish, but also Shi Fei special temperament, and the harem women rare a little capricious little temper.
This is a very peculiar phenomenon that Xue Yao has discovered-
Men are really guilty as hell sometimes.
Harem so many women, love the emperor love to lose themselves, willing to carve themselves into any shape for the emperor, but only in exchange for a moment of the emperor's pleasure.
Princess Shih dared to tell the Emperor that she didn't like this or that, and if the Emperor dared to disobey her, she dared to use the phrase "I'm so tired" to refuse to sleep with him.
Such "humiliation", but let the emperor can not stop, always remember the good and bad Shi Fei, afraid of their own a mistake, called the beauty of the good face again.
Of course the Emperor was not a jitterbug, if Consort Shio relied on playing princess temper alone, the Emperor naturally could not keep spoiling her.
Princess Shio has another trait-
Every time she was happy, she would exude a feminine and coquettish demeanor, and in the midst of chasing and frolicking, a push and a shove and a laugh could bring the emperor a top-notch titillating experience.
The Emperor puts in the effort to get a really good mood from Princess Shio.
And the woman only winks with her skills in full swing when she's really in the mood, which makes each of the emperor's advances challenging in unknown ways, and therefore enduring.
This is what Xue Yao has been fortunate enough to summarize over the past ten years, "The Reasons for Princess Shi's Favor".
At this moment, he had hidden the identity of the Shio Consort and the Emperor, and used the ordinary couple ground to get along as a demonstration, and passed on this knack of flirting with men to the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess was on the verge of crying from the shock of hearing it.
It's almost like watching a giant picture of an aphrodisiac in public.
She tried several times to stop Xue Yao from going on, but realized that he was making quite a bit of sense.
An eighteen year old teenager's theoretical knowledge of teasing men was simply more professional than a head courtesan in a greenhouse, which made the Crown Princess have to wonder what Xue Yao was doing on a regular basis.
Thirsty for learning in the state of blushing to the extreme, or red-faced listening to Xue Yao tutorial, and then lowered his head and converged his eyes whispered: "ordinary people's homes do not need to abide by the rituals, Jinan hall of a country's Crown Prince, how can they tolerate the ......"
"Niangniang." Xue Yao firmly looked at the Crown Princess, "If the preferences of the Crown Prince were different from those of ordinary men, there would be no such thing as Baosi Daji in history, in fact, men want their wives to be just dignified on the outside and dignified on the inside ......"
Prince Consort red-faced squirming half a day, grabbing her handkerchief and responding in a small voice: "Thank you for pointing out the way."
Xue Yao had wanted to give some practical guidance, but it was really hard to say, and seeing as the Crown Princess had also blushed to the point of being cooked, she could only give up and let her comprehend it on her own.
*
This day evening, the crown princess for the first time to put on their own bottom of the white background full embroidery depicting gold tulle palace dress, sitting in the chambers of the small eight immortal table, lighted with a full lamp, waiting for the crown prince into the room.
The Prince entered the room without looking at his wife, and opened his arms as usual, waiting for her to undress him, ready to enjoy his only daily entertainment.
However, his wife sat at the table with her back turned and was slow to move.
The Prince cleared his throat and signaled his wife to "hurry up" with a cough.
This kind of thing can not wait, the Crown Princess is very observant of the rules, daytime can not be declared obscene, the night "activities" can not be more than two, outside the clapper, the Crown Princess began to advise the Crown Prince gasping "take care of your health".
Can he take care of his body when he's a man with a lot of blood and he's forced to finish halfway through the activity?
As a result, the Prince tries to "go to bed early and be active" every day so as not to be limited in playing time.
And there was something wrong with the Crown Princess tonight; the Crown Prince coughed three times with his arms open, and she hadn't come to serve.
The Prince couldn't wait to call out, "Lara?"
Only then did the Prince Consort stand up in a panic, take a deep breath, and slowly turn to face her husband.
It took the Prince a moment to see what his wife was wearing.
After more than three years of marriage, it was the first time I saw my wife wearing this kind of flat-necked jacket, with long sleeves or strapless style, and only a layer of tulle palace tapestry draped over her shoulders.
"This dress does not fit ...... well," the Crown Princess saw her husband s shocked look, her heart was a little unsure, and she was busy finding a step down for herself, "My concubine just intended to change it, and His Highness came into the house."
The Crown Prince forced himself to pull his gaze from somewhere on his wife's body, pretending to look aside as if nothing had happened, and spoke faintly, "It's time to rest anyway, so there's no need to change."
The Crown Princess was a little lost, thinking that Lu Jinan really wasn't an ordinary man, and wouldn't have a particular preference for such gaudy clothing.
