This is not the Datang I am familiar with

"It's as red as a monkey's butt!"

"what!"

...

Watching Tao Hong leave, Chen Fang sighed, it turned out that she was drinking water and asked this girl to help.I have no impression of myself at all.

In the end, Chen Fang still asked the reason, and now he understood why this girl always blushed when she saw her for a few days.Although Tao Hong was the girl who served him before, and even took a bath, at least she was wearing obscene trousers at that time.

This time they really met each other honestly, no wonder the girl blushed every time.

As soon as Tao Hong left, Chen Fang saw the two girls walking towards him with a lot of court ladies and eunuchs behind them.

Princess Anding said that she would come today, and sure enough, she came today, and brought a smaller one, Taiping also came.

Chen Fang hurried forward to pick him up, and the two princesses retreated from the crowd and entered Chen Fang's room.

An Ding consciously sat where he sat yesterday, while Taiping moved a stool and sat next to An Ding.

What is it all about, Chen Fang was depressed.

Seeing the two little princesses staring at him eagerly, Chen Fang estimated that such a scene would be staged in his small residence every day in the future.

Your sister, I can't afford to offend you!

"Chen Fang, you actually only tell your sister about such a fun thing, and you don't tell me about it!"

"Your Highness didn't come yesterday!"

"If you don't come, you won't tell me!"

"I..."

Chen Fang was depressed, he didn't understand the kid's logic!How could I tell you if you didn't come!There are no mobile phones in this era.I don't even have the ability to transmit sound through the air!

"Then Weichen will repeat what he told the eldest princess yesterday!"

"No, my sister told me all about it yesterday! Quickly tell me what happened to that monkey after seeing that little monkey die!"

"Oh, the stone monkey saw the child die suddenly, and the noisy Shuilian Cave calmed down in an instant! All the monkeys surrounded the dead monkey."

"The stone monkey is scratching its ears and cheeks at this moment, looking at the dead monkey, its eyes are red, and it is extremely anxious."

"An old monkey said, Great King, all creatures in this world have their destiny..."

Chen Fang eloquently told the story, and the two princesses were soon fascinated by it. When Chen Fang talked about the stone monkey leading all the monkeys to build a raft and prepare to cross the East China Sea to find the magic method of longevity, An Ding couldn't help asking Chen Fang, what is the truth in this world? What a magic trick to longevity.

Chen Fang thought for a while, then shook his head.

"No?"

"Your Highness, this humble minister really doesn't know!"

This is an unanswerable question, and it is wrong to say yes or no.

If you say yes, it is estimated that An Ding will ask you where the magic method is.If you say no, An Ding will also ask why you didn't.

Chen Fang didn't know that after experiencing time travel, he was actually very confused at this time whether there was any supernatural power in this world, maybe longevity really existed, and he really didn't know much about life in this three-dimensional world.Dimensions are too low.

It was almost noon when Chen Fang had to use the reason to prepare imperial meals for His Majesty to leave.

The two princesses held hands, followed by a large group of court ladies and eunuchs.

"Sister, I also want to find the elixir of life like that monkey, so that my father's illness can be cured!"

"Taiping, Father will be fine. These days are already much better, thanks to Chen Aiqing."

"Sister, let's go see Father!"

"Well, let's go now!"

Chen Fang came to Ganlu Palace today, but saw the two princesses were there, having dinner with Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang.

Behind the bead curtain, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang sat at the top, while the two princesses were beside them.It can be seen that both Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang dote on the two princesses very much.

"Chen Fang, An Ding and Tai Ping said that you told them a story in the past two days, which contains the medicine of immortality!"

Chen Fang had just met him, and Wu Meiniang asked urgently.

Look, this story can tell a story.When Wu Meiniang asked this question, Chen Fang felt that it was probably because Li Zhi was here.

"Go back to your mother, I did tell the story to the two princesses, but the story is a fiction, just for the two princesses to come and listen to it!"

Chapter 37 Making Candied Haws

"Oh, Chen Fang, you were on duty at Honglu Temple before, did you hear some wonderful recipes from the envoys?"

Wu Meiniang seemed a little unwilling to give up. She looked at Li Zhi next to her. Although she knew that the so-called longevity was just a fool, she couldn't help herself when she was in it.

In history, there are many emperors who searched for the elixir of life. In fact, the emperor who really searched for the elixir was ignorant and ignorant. This is a human being.

But during this period, especially when Li Zhi was seriously ill for a long time, Wu Meiniang was naturally more eager to seek medicine.

"This, although there are some magic recipes, there is absolutely no way to live forever!"

Wu Meiniang sighed, and Li Zhi next to him also sighed imperceptibly.

Although my body has become stronger these past few days, yesterday...

Li Zhi looked at the queen next to him, feeling powerless!

The setting sun in the evening shines on the stretching palace complex of Tai Chi Palace, among the green bricks and green tiles, the golden colored glaze of the main hall shines with the beauty of the setting sun.

The night wind blows, and the palace lanterns in the palace have already been lit by maids. Waves of slender maids carry the night lanterns and walk through in the bleak wind of late autumn, becoming a beautiful embellishment in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Chen Fang lay in his warm quilt, but couldn't sleep peacefully for a long time.

Shouldn't we continue to tell stories to the two princesses?

Chen Fang tossed and turned, couldn't sleep at this moment, so he simply put on his clothes and walked out of the residence. The Shangshi Bureau in the night and the palaces behind were connected together, and the Taiji Palace in the twilight was like a sleeping monster.

"Master hasn't slept yet?"

"Dingyu, why didn't you sleep?"

"Just now, Concubine Shu asked someone to prepare supper, and she just finished her work!"

"Concubine Shu, Concubine Xiao Shu!"

Chen Fang knew a little about this woman, because in Chen Fang's memory, Concubine Xiao Shu's fight for favor with Wu Meiniang made her leave a strong mark in Li Tang's history.

Concubine Xiao Shu, surnamed Xiao, was a member of the Xiao clan in Lanling, a noble family in the Southern Dynasties, and a descendant of the royal family of Qi and Liang.He is also of noble birth, with royal blood flowing through his body.If these dynasties were not destroyed, they would be regarded as members of the royal family.

In this world, due to historical changes, Wu Meiniang entered the palace when Li Zhi was the emperor, and established a dominant position in Li Zhi's harem early on.

Naturally, there is no competition for favor with Concubine Xiao Shu, so Concubine Xiao Shu is still living well at this time, and her sons and daughters are also living well. Of course, their status is naturally not as high as that of Wu Meiniang's sons and daughters.

Princes and princesses are also divided into ranks and ranks. Different mothers have different positions in the palace.

Concubine Xiao Shu gave birth to a son and two daughters for Li Zhi, Xu Wang Li Sujie, Princess Yiyang and Princess Gao'an.

Xu Wang Li Sujie is the fourth son of Li Zhi. The previous three sons were all born with the palace, that is, the maids.

Whenever he thinks that the emperor can attack anyone he likes in the palace, Chen Fang is actually very envious.

Princess Yiyang and Princess Gao'an are the two eldest daughters of Li Zhi, and An Ding can only be ranked third in terms of age.

But who told Princess Anding to be born by Wu Meiniang, her status is naturally much higher than the two elder sisters.

In this palace, there has never been a tradition of judging seniority by age.

"Master, do you know Concubine Shu?"

"I don't know, I just heard someone mention it. By the way, Dingyu, do you know if there is a concubine with the surname Wang in this palace?"

"The surname is Wang. There are two of them. I wonder who Master is looking for?"

Sure enough, there was indeed a concubine with the surname Wang in the palace. Presumably, it was the queen who should have become a queen, but because of historical changes, she could only become a concubine.

"I'm not looking for anyone, just asking casually, Dingyu, don't stand there, sit down!"

"Oh, master!"

Dingyu saw Chen Fang sitting on the threshold of the palace gate, so she sat down too, sitting next to Chen Fang with a little distance.

"Master, speaking of Concubine Jing and Concubine De, it's not easy for both of them!"

"Oh why?"

"Never gave birth to any heirs for the emperor!"

"Did neither of them give birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor?"

Ding Yu nodded.

Chen Fang thought about it, and in his memory, the kings and queens in history did not have any heirs, probably because of some problems in some aspects, they were unable to have children.In fact, Li Zhi has worked hard on her, but it has been fruitless, which should be due to physical problems.

In the original history, Wu Meiniang was sent to the Ganye Temple. The reason why she was able to come out was because the Queen Wang had no sons and half daughters, and it was difficult for her to compete with Concubine Xiao Shu, so she took Wu Meiniang into the palace to help her.

It seems that in this world, Queen Wang still has problems, and Li Zhi will definitely not have problems, because he has many children and is a small expert in childbirth.

History has changed. Queen Wang failed to become a queen, but only became a concubine, but she still couldn't give birth, and the concubine Jing and Concubine De, surnamed Wang, couldn't have children. Is this disease also contagious?

Chen Fang just satisfied his curiosity for a while, but he didn't really care about the Queen and Concubine Xiao Shu.

Dingyu sat with Chen Fang for a while, and talked about some things in the palace, which concubine likes sweet food, which one likes spicy food, and which concubine especially likes sour food.Speaking of Wu Meiniang, Ding Yu said that she likes sweets the most.

No wonder Rosé takes such a big glass bottle.

It was foggy at night, and the misty mist enveloped the Tai Chi Palace.

The Taiji Palace itself is built in a low-lying place, which is most prone to fogging.It is often fog or fog at the same time.

The fog in late autumn turned cold, and Chen Fang saw that Dingyu was dozing off, so he patted her on the shoulder.

"Go back to sleep!"

"Master, go to bed early, too!"

"Tomorrow, let someone prepare some hawthorns, wash them and remove the pits."

"Okay! I'll prepare it tomorrow morning!"

On this day, a layer of autumn frost fell on the ground of Tai Chi Palace, thin white.There have long been court ladies cleaning the fallen leaves in the palace, and the withered and yellowed leaves gradually piled up, and the thin autumn frost instantly disappeared into the piled up dead leaves.

Winter will come very early, at least one month earlier than later generations.

It should be colder too!Chen Fang thinks about some poems about snow left by this era, it should be very cold.

The north wind blows the ground and the white grass breaks, and Hu Tian is snowing in August.Chen Fang is afraid of the cold.Fortunately, I didn't travel to the Little Ice Age.

The two little princesses haven't come yet, Chen Fang knew they would come.

When going to Shangshi Bureau, Dingyu had already prepared the hawthorn that Chen Fang needed, washed it extremely clean, and carefully picked out all the hawthorn cores inside.

Dingyu prepared a plate, and several cooks were still busy, afraid that the preparation would not be enough.

Chen Fang took out some leftover maltose and asked Ding Yu to peel the bamboo sticks.

What he wants to do is of course candied haws. He strings the hawthorns with bamboo sticks, and then pours maltose syrup on top. The maltose syrup will quickly dry in the cold wind, and he makes the most famous snack in northern China, candied haws.Candied haws originally originated in the Song Dynasty, and they definitely didn’t exist at this time.

At this time, a few cooks helped, and soon a dozen bunches of candied haws had been sprinkled with malt syrup, and Dingyu took them outside Shangshi Bureau, where the syrup was air-dried in the cold wind.

Chapter 38 Amazing Snacks

"Master, what is this called? It's so beautiful!"

"This is called candied haws. It's not only beautiful, but also delicious. Try it!"

Listening to Chen Fang's words, Dingyu bit into a candied haws. The air-dried maltose and the hawthorn wrapped in maltose quickly merged in Dingyu's mouth. Dingyu has two different taste sensations.

Simple snacks, simple fusion, but it just presents a wonderful feeling of taste buds.This taste blends and explodes on the tip of the tongue, and the double taste stimulation makes people want to stop.

"how?"

"Delicious! Master, you can eat one too!"

Dingyu handed the bunch of candied haws he had bitten to Chen Fang, and Chen Fang didn't dislike it. He ate one, and it felt so familiar, just like the taste of childhood memories.

Such a simple and authentic candied haws, in fact, Chen Fang has not eaten it for a long time. He came from the late era, and many other things were added to the candied haws.The taste is rich, but it is actually messy.

"My lord, can we have a taste too?"

At this time, several cooks also came over, looking at the bunches of red candied haws, and seeing Dingyu and Chen Fang eating with relish, they couldn't help asking.
