Chapter 155 The Little Maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion 19
Huo Yucheng entered the palace and found that his brother, King Xinyuan Xiao Yuncheng, was also there.
"Meet Uncle Emperor."
"Yucheng is here, please sit down."
Huo Yucheng sat down below Xiao Yuncheng and asked, "I wonder what the emperor uncle wants us to do for the palace?"
"It's not a big deal, but the bandits in the south have been getting more and more rampant recently, and I want to send you two brothers to suppress them."
Xiao Yuncheng had received news of the pirates early in the morning, but he did not expect that His Majesty would send the two of them to deal with the matter: "Have the pirates become so rampant? We have to let my two brothers go together."
"Haha, it seems that Yuncheng is very confident in himself. In fact, the water banditry is a small matter. The most important thing is to appease the people."
The emperor's words did not dispel their doubts. For such a matter, it would be enough to send an imperial envoy.
If worst comes to worst, you can choose one of them. There is no need for both of them to travel together.
Seeing their suspicious looks, the emperor pretended to be sad and said, "Alas, the child has grown up and doesn't even listen to me, his uncle."
Brothers Xiao Yuncheng and Huo Yucheng looked at each other and said, "Okay, it's happening again."
I don’t know if it’s because their uncle, the emperor, was too depressed when he was young and his nature gradually came out, but now that he is older, his behavior has become more childish.
"Okay, let's go, okay?"
When the emperor heard that they agreed, he immediately summoned the eunuch who was in charge of drafting the edict and made final decision on the matter.
It is not easy for him to be an uncle. He is really worried about the life-long affairs of his two nephews.
Most southern women are charming, so you have to bring back one or two of them every time you go out. Once this kind of thing starts, there is no way to stop it.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated, as both of them already had someone they loved.
A man in his 30s does not marry or take concubines for the sake of the woman he loves.
Another one even decided to marry only one person in his life.
The two men went south this time and came back the same way they went, with no trace of a woman around them at all.
Seeing her alone, the emperor couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
After completing their mission, one went straight to the prince's palace and the other went straight to the princess's palace.
Originally, the first thing Huo Yucheng wanted to do after returning was to meet Chu Yuan.
But he had no choice but to go to the princess's house for lunch as his parents were waiting for him at home, and then he chatted with his mother for a long time.
"Alright, seeing how distracted you are, I'm afraid you won't be able to listen to anything I say right now. Go away, don't get in my way."
With his mother's permission, Huo Yucheng said goodbye and left, constantly urging the driver to go faster along the way.
Chu Yuan had already received several letters from him, all of which said that he would go into the city today and asked her to meet him in his mansion in the afternoon.
What a guy! For such a small matter, isn’t a letter enough?
Huo Yucheng was worried that various unexpected situations might occur and cause the letter to be intercepted halfway, so he wrote several letters in succession and sent them to Shangjing City in different ways.
In order to welcome him, Chu Yuan cooked personally and made a yogurt fruit smoothie using seasonal fruits, ice cubes stored in the ice storage last winter, and yogurt in her space.
It was a hot afternoon, and it would be great to have a bowl of cool soup when he came out of the princess's mansion.
Of course, there weren't many fruits to be found in this dynasty, so she only put in some common fruits like pears, apricots and peaches.
For the dish she made for herself, she put mango, cherry, dragon fruit, kiwi and other fruits grown in her space, which had a very rich taste.
She secretly finished this deluxe smoothie in the small kitchen, leaving no trace.
Since they had already fought once, Chu Yuan did not show favoritism. He prepared a large bowl and asked the servant to send it to Chu Yang, so that he could share it with the teacher and classmates.
The rest was left to Huo Yucheng. It was not easy to use ice these days, so let him enjoy the happiness of modern people.
After Huo Yucheng arrived, Chu Yuan was changing clothes in the room. She had just been busy in the small kitchen and her makeup was a little smudged. She couldn't go out to meet people in this state.
So he told Chuntao to take the man to the front hall first and bring him the smoothie he had just made.
"Chun Tao, where is your young lady?"
"My Lord, the young lady is changing her clothes now. She has asked me to serve you this bowl of smoothie to cool you down."
Huo Yucheng took a bite, and the sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth, and it also had a cool taste, which was very suitable for cooling off in the summer: "You just said that this thing is called shaved ice?"
"Yes, this is made by the young lady herself, and she has been waiting for you to come back and taste it."
Chuntao began to constantly try to win the favor of her young lady. As the young lady's personal maid, she knew a little about the relationship between the young lady and the prince.
Huo Yucheng was so excited that he didn't even bother to enjoy the food in front of him: "Has your young lady been waiting for me to come back?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the young lady has not been able to see you these days, so she has eaten less than usual."
Chu Yuan didn't know that in Chuntao's mind, the reason she couldn't eat recently was because she was missing him. It was obviously just because the weather was too hot and she had no appetite.
Huo Yucheng imagined many scenes of Chu Yuan sitting by the window, looking sad, and he didn't even notice that Chu Yuan had come in.
It was Chuntao's voice that woke him up again: "Greetings, young lady. I'll take my leave now."
As soon as Chu Yuan came in, he saw him holding a bowl in a daze, and was very confused: "What's wrong, is this smoothie not to your taste?"
"No, this smoothie is very cool and refreshing. How did you come up with this idea? What is this white liquid on top?"
"When I was at home with nothing to do, I loved thinking about food to kill time. After many attempts, I developed this smoothie. The white liquid on top is called yogurt, which is a new product developed by Zhongshengtang recently."
Yogurt can only be made successfully with lactic acid bacteria.
So Chu Yuan sells mushroom powder in the Hall of All Beings. With just a small packet of mushroom powder and fresh milk, he can make a jar of delicious yogurt.
She found these bacterial powders in the space. They were probably the inventory of a supermarket she had collected before. There was no use for her to keep them, but selling them would give her an excuse to drink yogurt openly in this dynasty.
So ten days ago, yogurt powder was officially launched in Zhongshengtang.
With trust in the miracle doctor, everyone bought some to try.
After some people succeeded, they shared the yogurt they made with their neighbors to taste. Through word of mouth, yogurt soon became popular among everyone, and many people lined up to buy it every day.
Huo Yucheng had just returned to Beijing and probably didn't know about the existence of such a thing.
"This thing is good. I will go to the Hall of All Beings tomorrow to buy some for my mother and uncle to try."
