Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 5 Ancient BBQ
Chapter 5 Ancient BBQ
In Qin Xiangshan's eyes, his son, Qin Yang, only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and even painting is something others boast about.

But now
Qin Xiangshan had a new understanding of Qin Yang.

The impression has also been greatly improved.

To be able to get the reward of the current emperor, there is no doubt about his painting skills.

It's just that Qin Xiangshan was a little curious, how did his son Qin Yang draw a portrait that satisfied Changle, and how did he get a reward from the emperor?
Here, the Qin family was happy because Qin Yang returned home safe and sound.

the other side.

Royal Palace.

East Palace Prince's Mansion.

A eunuch hurried into the mansion and went straight to the side hall.

In the side hall, dressed in fine clothes and wearing a golden crown, a handsome young man lay leisurely on a chair, with a child in his arms, with infinite love in his eyes.

The young man is the eldest son of the current emperor Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, the prince of the East Palace.

"Wang Hai pays his respects to the crown prince."

The eunuch bowed his hands to Li Chengqian and saluted.

Prince Li Chengqian didn't even look at Wang Hai, he played with the children around him, and said casually: "My lord, why are you here in my east palace when you're not serving my father?"

The eunuch standing in front of Li Chengqian was named Wang Hai.

Wang Hai is in charge of the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs and is Li Shimin's personal eunuch. He has been with Li Shimin for more than ten years, and even the civil and military eyes of the entire dynasty do not dare to offend him.

"Report to the crown prince, this old slave is here to bring good news to the crown prince."

The eunuch Wang Hai smiled mysteriously.

"good news?"

Li Chengqian turned his eyes, sat up immediately, looked at Wang Hai, and asked, "What's the good news?"

"Prince, do you know that Princess Changle recruited painters from all over the world?"

Wang Hai asked.

"of course I know."

"Lizhi has been troubled by this matter."

Li Chengqian nodded, then frowned and said with some displeasure: "What? Is this the good news you said?"

"Report to the prince, the painter has been found."

Wang Hai narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "The painter not only painted a portrait that satisfied the princess, but also mentioned a poem on the portrait. After seeing it, His Majesty was very pleased and praised the painter for his talent and intention. He was asked to enter the court, but the painter refused, and in the end His Majesty only rewarded the painter with a hundred taels of gold."

"Rewards are rewarded, what does it have to do with me?"

Li Chengqian frowned.

"Of course there is."

Wang Hai said with a serious expression: "This painter not only has superb painting skills and extraordinary talent, but also is very young. The old slave has served the emperor for more than ten years. I can tell that the emperor appreciates him very much."

"Oh? Is this the case?"

Li Chengqian became interested immediately.

There is still a big difference between reward and appreciation.

A reward is just a reward.

Appreciation, however, is completely different.

To be able to get into the eyes of the emperor must have real skills and be worth wooing.

Li Chengqian is not a fool. Although he is the eldest son and firmly sits on the position of Prince of the East Palace, the other brothers are no worse than him.

Like Wu Wang Li Ke, Wei Wang Li Tai, Qi Wang Li You, and Jin Wang Li Zhi.

None of them are idlers.

They stare at themselves every day, waiting for themselves to make mistakes!
As long as he does not sit on the throne for a day, Li Chengqian can't feel at ease for a day. Therefore, in these years, every step he took was walking on eggshells. He treated his teachers with respect and humility, and treated his servants with generosity and gentleness.

All Li Chengqian did was to keep himself from showing his flaws.

Because he knew that if he made a mistake, he would miss the throne and even lose his life.

Now that Wang Hai took the initiative to provide information, Li Chengqian began to think about it.

Li Chengqian looked at Wang Hai and asked, "What's the name of the painter who painted Changle?"

"Qin Yang, the only son of the Qin family, a merchant in Chang'an."

Wang Hai said truthfully.

"Qin Yang."

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

There are too few think tanks around him. If Qin Yang is really talented, there is nothing to lose by putting down his position and taking the initiative to win over him, and it will also be helpful to his future accession to the throne.

After making up his mind, Li Chengqian asked Wang Hai for other news about Qin Yang.

some inquiries.

Li Chengqian already knew all the information about Qin Yang.

"Wang Hai, I am in a good mood today. Tell me what you want!"

Li Chengqian knew that the world would never lose its pie, so Wang Hai took the initiative to tell the news, and he must have other purposes in mind.

"The old slave doesn't want anything."

Wang Hai shook his head with a smile, and said: "I hope that when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, the old slave will always be with you and serve you."

Wang Hai didn't seem to make a request, but in fact he had already made plans.

Good birds choose wood to perch.

Several princes have grown up one after another, and they all covet the throne. Li Shimin is getting old day by day, and the future is bound to be another bloodbath.

In Wang Hai's eyes.

Li Chengqian is the eldest son, not only the prince of the East Palace established by the emperor Li Shimin himself, but also the biological son of the eldest grandson empress.

No matter from what aspect, he is the future successor of Datang.

Therefore, Li Chengqian is a good choice.

Li Chengqian is very smart, after Wang Hai finished speaking, he immediately understood the meaning of Wang Hai's words.

He opened the mouth and said: "Don't worry, I will inherit the great rule in the future, and your benefits will be indispensable."

"The old slave thanked the crown prince."

Wang Hai looked happy and immediately knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.

at the same time.

The other princes also learned about Fengyang Palace from other eunuchs and maids.

For a moment, Qin Yang's name was secretly remembered by the princes.

the other end.

Ever since he left the palace and returned to the Qin Mansion, Qin Yang tried to prevent Qin Xiangshan and Luo Su from becoming suspicious.

Still living the living habits of the previous owner.

several days in a row.

Qin Yang would either wander around Chang'an City with his servants, or stay in the mansion chatting and joking with the maids.

Live a happy and comfortable life.

The sun is shining today.

The backyard of the Qin Mansion.

Qin Yang specially asked his servant to build a simple barbecue table in the backyard.

Take advantage of the rare good weather to grill.

"Roasted chicken wings, I like to eat."

Qin Yang held the raw chicken wings skewered with iron rods in both hands, and grilled them on the charcoal fire. During the process, he kept adding various spices to the chicken wings.

He thought that the ancient barbecue was very simple.

But in fact, ancient barbecue is no worse than modern ones. All the spices and ingredients should be available in this era.

The only difference is that spices are expensive.

Spices were brought to Chang'an by merchants from the Western Regions.

Ordinary people can't afford it at all, and among them, pepper is the most precious.

In Datang, pepper is comparable to gold.

Fortunately, the body that Qin Yang possessed was the young master of a rich family, and there was still a little pepper in the family.

However, when Qin Yang asked his father Qin Xiangshan for pepper, the latter showed a pained look on his face.

Qin Yang was the only seedling of the Qin family, no matter how reluctant Qin Xiangshan was, he had no choice but to take out the preserved pepper and give it to Qin Yang for barbecue.

The servants watched Qin Yang keep sprinkling pepper on the chicken wings, and they were all dumbfounded.

Where is the pepper.

It is obviously to sprinkle gold on the chicken wings!
