Chapter 495 Prepare some food for the emperor
At this time, Zheng Zhiyuan added: "Fourth Uncle, I think you should stop traveling. Following your cousin for a month will definitely allow you to see more new things and learn more knowledge than traveling for a year."
Zheng Laosi asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Not really?"
He really couldn't imagine how amazing his niece was to be so admired by them. But looking at the serious expressions on their faces, it didn't seem like they were joking.
Seeing that Zheng Laosi didn't quite believe it, everyone smiled and shook their heads, and said nothing more. They knew that time would prove everything, and as long as Zheng Laosi personally came into contact with Sisi, he would understand her charm.
Before they knew it, they came to a small pond, where many colorful and lively goldfish were swimming, looking very cute.
"Wow, so many goldfish!" Haoer shouted excitedly.
"Hao'er, do you like these goldfish? Auntie can ask the servants to catch a few and put them in the fish tank in your room." Zheng Sisi said, gently stroking Hao'er's head.
"Thank you, auntie!" Haoer clapped his hands happily.
"Then Hao'er, remember to feed them every day. We can't let our beautiful goldfish starve." Zheng Sisi reminded.
Haoer nodded seriously, indicating that he understood: "Don't worry, auntie, Haoer will definitely take good care of them and make them fat and beautiful."
Zheng Laosi witnessed this heartwarming scene, and his heart was filled with endless comfort. He suddenly realized that perhaps this simple and peaceful life was the real happiness.
Maybe I should give up traveling and consider staying in the capital to accompany my parents, then get married, have children, and live an ordinary life.
After everyone finished their walk and digestion, Zheng Sisi personally escorted everyone out of the mansion. As it was only six days before Madam Zheng's birthday, the people from the Duke's Mansion could not continue to stay in the Princess' Mansion.
Zheng Sisi told everyone about her plan as she sent them to the carriage: "Grandfather, grandmother, I will stay at the Duke's Mansion in a few days. I will bring the kitchen ladies with me. I will help arrange the banquet on the birthday."
"Great, great! With your help, your aunts will probably wake up laughing in their dreams. And if the cooking skills of the cook in your house were shown, I wonder how impressive it would be! My old sisters will be envious of them." Old Madam Zheng said excitedly.
Everyone laughed when they heard this. Zhong Ruiyu asked curiously, "Will there be new dishes to taste at such a big banquet?"
Zheng Sisi nodded and replied with a smile: "Of course!"
Zhong Ruiyu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Haha, that's great! I'm in for a treat~" and then he laughed. Then he turned to look at the old Duke Zheng and said flatteringly, "Grandpa Zheng, can I come to your house to bother you for a few days?"
Duke Zheng stared at him and said unhappily, "Hey, you little brat, you always call me Duke of our country, but now you call me Grandpa because you need a favor from me."
Zhong Ruiyu quickly bowed with both hands and said flatteringly: "Please!"
Seeing his sincerity, Duke Zheng's heart softened and he agreed: "Forget it, since you are so sincere, I will accept it." Then, he turned his head to look at Sheng Zhen, Li Ziyan and He Qianqian, and said kindly: "If you are free, you are always welcome to stay at the Duke's Mansion."
The three of them thanked Duke Zheng in unison, and Sheng Zhen said happily, "Grandfather, Zhen'er will definitely go."
After discussing the follow-up matters, everyone got on the carriage and slowly left.
After Zheng Sisi and Sheng Zhen entered the mansion, they walked towards Zheng Sisi's yard hand in hand.
Seeing that he had no intention of returning to the Third Prince's Mansion next door, Zheng Sisi asked curiously, "Sheng Zhen, you're back in the capital, why don't you go to the palace to see your father?"
"Of course you can go. If we go now, your father might be taking a lunch break. I'll take you back to the yard first." Sheng Zhen replied gently.
"Okay, it's just right that I prepare some snacks for the emperor. He likes sweet or salty food. And the queen and concubines in the palace, so in order to take care of my business, I have to prepare something for them as well." Zheng Sisi said excitedly.
Sheng Zhen held her back and said, "I don't know what my father likes to eat. Just prepare whatever you like. You only need to prepare what my father likes. Why do you need to prepare for them? It's a waste of energy."
Zheng Sisi looked at Sheng Zhen and analyzed seriously, "You don't understand this, do you? I didn't prepare this for them based on their status. This is called a marketing strategy. Think about it. If I give it to them today and they eat it and think it's good, won't they pay for it? And the women in the harem are the richest, so there's no pressure or burden to make money from them."
