I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs

When Ying Zheren saw Baicaoshi, his big grape purple eyes flickered, he ran towards Baicaoshi with short legs, and shouted crisply: "Aunt Shishi, is auntie coming to play with Renren?"

In Ying Zheren's tiny body, he was instilled countless times by Concubine Si: Aunt Shishi gave her a second life, Aunt Shishi loved him very much, Aunt Shishi could do magic tricks and make a lot of delicious food. So Ying Zheren was very kind when he saw Baicaoshi.

Baicaoshi squatted down, living up to everyone's expectations, and conjured a caramel and a rabbit. This kind of caramel is made by my mother-in-law with malt, which is pure and natural. "Good boy, can you tell Aunt Shishi what you have learned?"

Ying Zheren immediately waved his chubby hands, and there were small dents on the back of his hands, and he took a horse stance, "Learning martial arts, hehe! But Renren is so tired."

Children under three years old are pitiful.

Holding a handkerchief, Baicaoshi wiped sweat from Yingzheren's forehead, "Renren has learned a good skill, so he can protect his mother and concubine in the future. Here, here is your reward."

With shining eyes, Ying Zheren took the food and toys he loved, hugged Baicaoshi, and smacked her face, saliva stained Baicaoshi's face. "Aunt Shishi is the best to me, and Renren will also protect Auntie in the future."

"Let's go find the concubine mother." Baicaoshi straightened up.

She only hopes that if there is an imperial power struggle in Dayan in the future, this innocent child will not be affected.

"Aunt Shishi, let Renren go in."

Ying Zhefeng watched this scene, the little guy had never been so close to him, and this little cook actually snatched what belonged to him.

He was a little angry, but Baicaoshi ignored him and walked towards the palace gate.

**

Thanks to Baicaoshi, everyone around her has tasted a drink different from tea - coffee.

The after-dinner conversations in Xu Wang Mansion and Nan Yuan Wang Mansion revolved around coffee.

"Has Madam made coffee today?"

"Come on, the whole palace can smell the mellow aroma."

"Whoever marries his wife is really a great blessing. Let's just talk about the entertainment of the stomach, and he will not lose in life."

"Only someone as suave as your lord is worthy of your wife."

There are also timid ones, who are afraid that they will ruin their stomachs after drinking.

"Is that thing really drinkable? It's dark, and it's no match for our ancestors' tea."

"It can only be said that each has its own merits."

"I, I, I, I got a little Doudou last evening. I made a cup according to Madam's recipe, and I couldn't sleep all night. Dare to be honest, this thing can also refresh me."

"With this device, you no longer need to pierce your buttocks with a cantilevered beam when reading."

Baicaoshi knows everyone's hot discussion and curiosity about new things. It's just that she didn't expect that An Nanguo's envoy would find her.

It was two days before New Year's Eve, when she and Shuangye came back from West Market, they were stopped by Annan's envoy.

"Who is blocking the way?" Xiao Chonglou asked with a whip.

"Under Suharo, I'm an envoy sent by An Nanguo to visit Madam Bai on business." The man looked to be in his thirties, wearing Dayan's attire, he couldn't tell at a glance that he was from a foreign country, and respectfully salute.

Baicaoshi lifted the curtain and took a look. It has to be said that this envoy has a wide network of contacts, and she can speak Chinese well if he can find her. "What's the matter, Mr. Su? If it involves two countries, then Mr. Su has found the wrong person."

Suharo quickly waved his hand, but took a sack from the attendant behind him, which was filled with coffee beans. "As the saying goes, swords are given to heroes, and red powder is given to beauties. Su knows that his wife is an expert in coffee, and Su will not be able to return to China anyway. Let this civet coffee bean be given to his wife."

The reason why civet coffee is expensive is that it is rare and expensive. With such a sack, Baicao Poetry had reason to believe that it might be the only and most valuable thing this envoy who traveled across the ocean could sell.

Naturally, Baicao would not want it. "You don't get rewarded for nothing, Master Su's wish is my heart."

The curtain fell and the carriage continued to move forward. Suharo chased after him with a sack, "Ma'am, Annan Country is not only rich in coffee beans, but also spices, spices everywhere, women's favorite agarwood, musk, and garro."

Even Baicao Shi likes spices clearly, this envoy is really not simple.

Baicaoshi rubbed the center of her eyebrows, her heart ached, those coffee beans and spices were all money. Is the other party sure that she can help as a lobbyist? Combat in different places, separated by a distance of thousands of miles, is by no means a child's play. Although she really wants to get agarwood and coffee beans, she also has her own principles.

**

This year is the most solemn and lively year that Baicaoshi has ever had. Parents and masters are all around, the layout of several major industries is stable, and the development is smooth, Zhe Yu also gets revenge. It can be said that life must be full of joy.

In the next year, Green-headed Weng, Yam, and Panax notoginseng will return to Wanzhou.

Wanzhou has a prosperous economy and is far away from political whirlpools, which is the important foundation of Baicaoshi's business empire.

Several major events happened in the court, both good and bad. The good news is that the first phase of the palace has been completed, and Emperor Yanwu can't wait to go on a tour; the bad news is that Bei Rong took advantage of the Chinese New Year to buckle one after another and unilaterally tore up the mutually beneficial business terms reached between the two countries during the golf tournament.

When the imperial court was in the midst of employing people, the Ministry of Households began to raise money again, and King Zhenbei would leave for the border soon.

However, Xu Ruoran's marriage has been delayed again and again. Miss Xu neither agrees to marry in Rong Jinghou's mansion, nor agrees to marry in Feng Wang, and the two parties are in a stalemate.

No matter how troublesome things are, it can't stop Emperor Yanwu from entering the palace.

Zhe Yu told Baicaoshi the news after returning home. "Pack up your things, and then you will live in the palace for a while."

Baicaoshi was making a mask in front of the mirror, with a painted face on her face, and her tone was full of excitement, "It's been built so quickly, a great royal palace!"

Zhe Yu stood behind Baicaoshi, straightened her body, a man and a woman appeared in the mirror, the corners of his lips could not stop smiling, "How do I feel, you want to recite a poem?"

Baicaoshi was also amused by him, "Only my two brushes? Ligers are about the same. I can't stay for too long, the university has already started, and as the principal, I have to devote myself to the torrent of education. By the way, who are they? Can you go to the palace?"

Zhe Yu counted in detail: "The Queen Mother will naturally go. Among the concubines, Concubine Si and Concubine Ning are all on the list. The ministers of the court and imperial orders also go. After this incident, it is no problem for Bu Zhan to be stationed in the Six Departments. "

"Bu Zhan's father is the servant of the Ministry of Rites. Now that his son enters another Ministry of Industry and one leaves two departments, it is considered a family honor. But..." Baicaoshi frowned and asked, "Your Majesty favors Concubine Ning now, never I only hear the newcomers laughing, but I don't see the old ones crying. What's the purpose of bringing Concubine Si with you?"

But Zheyu flicked Baicaoshi's head, causing Baicaoshi to cover her forehead and open her eyes wide.

"Do you really think that His Majesty loves Concubine Ning and neglects Concubine Si?"

"Isn't it?" The cute appearance of Ying Zheren appeared in Baicaoshi's mind again. Children are innocent and carefree, how can they understand the sadness of adults?

But Zhe Yu shook his head, "You can't look at the surface of things. In the court, His Majesty mentioned bringing Concubine Ning, and was immediately persuaded by many courtiers. Why? Think again, when His Majesty proposed to build a palace, Concubine Ning But she hasn't entered the palace yet. Concubine Ning has also entered the palace for a year, why is there no movement on her son?"

Baicaoshi once heard Zhe Yu talk about Concubine Ning, and knew that she was a staunch woman, "She only has hatred for Ying Zheli and the royal family of Dayan, and it is understandable that she did not conceive an heir."
