This is not the Datang I am familiar with

In this palace, besides Wu Meiniang, the one who gave birth to Li Zhi the most was Concubine Xiao Shu.

"Your Highness, this humble minister has little talent and learning, but this matter will not help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Chen Fang is not willing to participate in this matter anymore, knowing that the gods are fighting and still participating, it is not courting death. .

After finally traveling through time, and finally reliving the whole life, Chen Fang did not think his life would be long.

He, Chen Fang, doesn't want to live a long life, let alone immortality, he just wants to live this life well.It's safe and sound, just don't go to Dali Temple or the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a day trip.

Chapter 56 Resolving Confusion for the Prince

"Ai Qing doesn't need to be humble, Ai Qing must have some ideas, please teach Hong Yi Er."

"Prince, you are really pissing me off. I am a mere cook in a food bureau. How can I have that kind of ability? If the prince really wants to save Concubine Shu and the two princesses, he should discuss it with his advisers at this time. As far as I am concerned See, these people around the prince can be of great use."

"Aiqing, it wasn't you who told me last night that Concubine Shu shouldn't be the one who poisoned me, she's not that stupid to use her own maid to do this kind of thing!"

Chen Fang looked at Li Hong, damn it, he dug a hole for himself.Li Hong is waiting for him here!

"Today, Hong sincerely came to ask Mr. for advice, and I hope Mr. can point out the way for Hong!"

Chen Fang sighed, and looked at Li Hong, Li Hong was already like this today, if he tried to evade, he would not only offend the Tang prince, but also make himself feel that he was not a person.

Although Chen Fang really wanted to stay out of the matter, in the end he still had to be involved in the matter.

Chen Fang couldn't help but think of Gao An, that savage princess could be considered to have had contact with him, so she really didn't care about it, and felt uneasy.

Afterwards, Gao Anzhen was tortured to death in Dali Temple, and Chen Fang might not be able to sleep at night.Yeye dreamed that Gao An was covered in blood, and came looking for her in a brutal manner.

"His Royal Highness, Mr. Chen Fang really dare not call you that. Prince, in fact, if you want to save Concubine Shu and the two princesses, you still need to find the real mastermind behind the scenes."

"Yan'er is dead, the only clue has been broken! How to find the person behind the scenes!"

"Otherwise, didn't that Duanmu Ichiro say that if there is black bud flower juice in Chang'an, only the Imperial Medical Office and Linqing'an Pavilion may exist!"

"Besides, I remember that if a court lady enters or exits the palace, there must be records at the left and right gate guards! You can find out whether Yan'er has left the palace during this period of time!"

"Also, the crown prince might as well look up the origin of Yan'er's family background, I'm afraid there may be some clues!"

"Even if we can't find out the real culprit, it would be great if we can find out that Concubine Shu has nothing to do with this matter."

Li Hong thought for a moment, looked at Chen Fang, and suddenly bowed, which made Chen Fang jump.

Nima, you don't know who you are, you beg me, you are insulting me!Why are you the same as your uncle, grandson and grandson Wuji, Chen Fang was depressed.

At this time, Chen Fang quickly supported the prince, he couldn't bear it!

"Aiqing's words made Hong suddenly enlightened, like enlightenment."

"The crown prince is too modest, and the crown prince has not thought of these things for the time being because he is in it."

This was Chen Fang's real thought. The reason why the prince didn't expect it was because the palace maid Yan'er had just died, and he was thinking about Concubine Shu and the two elder sisters so he was a little confused.

With Li Hong's mind, how could he not think of it.

Even if he didn't expect it, those advisers around Li Hong were not just for nothing, the reason why he came to him first was because Chen Fang's performance last night was so amazing that Li Hong was completely convinced.

"His Royal Highness, what Chen Fang said today, the crown prince must not tell others."

After sending Li Hong away, Chen Fang was very depressed and said that he would not join in, but finally joined in. He only hoped that Li Hong would be like what he said, and never come to Chen Fang's place today.

In the next few days, every time Chen Fang sent meals, he felt that Wu Meiniang was still angry. Several princes and princesses also had meals in the Palace of Ganlu these days, and the empress would always ask Chen Fang to send the meals to the crown prince. one serving.

However, Chen Fang could hear Wu Meiniang feeling a little disappointed every time she mentioned the prince.It is estimated that the prince and Wu Meiniang have had many disputes these days.

It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has angered the Empress because of the matter between Concubine Shu and the two princesses.

But after all, they are mother and son, so how much hatred can there be, it's just that Wu Meiniang is inevitably a little disappointed.

Thinking about it, it's no wonder that Wu Meiniang has no temper when her son helps outsiders.

In Chen Fang's eyes, this pair of women is also strange, but Chen Fang can feel that Wu Meiniang loves his son deeply, and so does the prince, but the two have different ways of handling and thinking about this matter.

If you really want to say that there is no hatred for this, it is not at all, although Wu Meiniang is a little angry, but Chen Fang can feel that she cares about Li Hong very much, and Li Hong is running around about this matter, most likely he really wants to find the real culprit and relieve his mother's worries.

Chen Fang smiled wryly and shook his head, just watch and listen to the family affairs of the emperor's family. Participating in cooperation is purely courting death.

These days, Chen Fang never talked about poisoning with anyone, talked about Concubine Shu and the two princesses, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

It's snowing again, but this year's snow in Chang'an came early and frequently.The earth has not yet taken off its silver clothing, and at this time it is covered with another layer of plain.

It's just pity that those court ladies and eunuchs are going to be busy.

Wearing deerskin boots, bearskin gloves, and a thick but not heavy fox fur with a layer of winter clothes newly made by Shangyi Bureau, Chen Fang sat by the stove.

Looking at the busy figure of the court lady in the snow, it's really not easy to live in this era, it's hard to beat the wind and the snow.If you do something wrong, you will be punished in various ways.

Chen Fang thought about it while roasting on the fire.

In the past few days, there was news from the Ministry of Industry. Wu Meiniang told Chen Fang that the location of the Tang workshop had been decided, and it was just outside the Daming Palace.

Speaking of it, it should be in a place between Taiji Palace and Daming Palace.It is not too far from the two palaces, and the newly selected place can be seen from the Taiji Palace after exiting the Xuanwu Gate.

Chen Fang was a little surprised that the Tang Workshop was placed here, but it is a royal workshop after all, so it is reasonable to be so close to the palace.

Originally, Chen Fang thought that the farther away from Wu Meiniang the better, and it would be best to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.It's just that Wu Meiniang can't follow Chen Fang's wish.

Chang'an City has a standard chessboard layout, and there are almost no places in the city that can accommodate workshops. It is also a good choice to choose between Taiji Palace and Daming Palace.I don't know if I can see the first snow in Longshouyuan next year.

It's time to be busy again, why is it so reluctant to leave the stove sent by Dingyu.

She took an oiled paper umbrella, looked at a peach blossom on it, and thought of Dingyu, this is the oiled paper umbrella she used.The autumn rain that day, the woman holding the umbrella, hey!Went to Daming Palace.

When he came to Shangshi Bureau, Chen Fang saw a few court ladies standing outside in the snow.

These days, these court ladies came to help their masters to beg for things, and they never entered Shangshi Bureau anymore, they all waited outside Shangshi Bureau.

To avoid suspicion, no one wants to be involved in that bad thing.

"It's snowing outside, you guys wait inside!"

"Thank you, sir, we'll just wait outside, so we won't go in and bother you!"

Chen Fang didn't insist either, knowing that these maids' concerns were all for the nobles, which was not easy. .

Entering the Shangshi Bureau, Chen Fang saw two cooks checking the ingredients that had just been delivered today.

Chen Fang looked depressed as the silver needle poked on the ingredients.

Chapter 57 Dried Melon Seeds

In the past few days, even the handyman who delivered the goods has not entered the Shangshi Bureau, and the Shangshi Bureau now seems to be completely closed management.

And these cooks worked even harder to check the ingredients. They had asked Chen Fang to go to the Pharmacy Bureau to get two sets of silver needles back, and the second set of silver needles seemed to be unable to hold on.

Soon, a cook in Shangshi Bureau sent out the wrapped candied haws, and the maids took something and left again against the wind and snow.

"Silver Leaf!"

"My lord, Silver Leaf is here!"

When Dingyu was away, Chen Fang promoted Yinye to be the second in command of Shangshi Bureau, and told her if there was anything to do.

"I'll go find the person in charge of the palace in a while, and ask him to add a shed outside the Shangshi Bureau!"

"Oh, Yinye understands, my lord is really kind!"

"It's not easy. If they have a headache in the wind and snow, their bodies will not be able to bear it."

"My lord has a kind heart! We servants have never been cared about in the palace! Except for your lord."

"That's right! I really want to follow my lord for the rest of my life!"

"Do you still want to give birth to a child?"

The cooks laughed, it was getting more and more unruly, Chen Fang decided to punish the cook who was getting more and more unruly, and pinched the other side's face hard, who knew that the other side even brought the other half of his face closer Let Chen Fang pinch.

She was very happy to punish her by herself, but Chen Fang was also helpless.

Chen Fang smiled and didn't say much. Being praised by these little cooks, he was actually in a good mood.Occasionally, it is impossible to have a child.

Find the bag of sunflower seeds you found yesterday.This thing was originally produced in South America, but it appeared in Shangshi Bureau at this time, which only shows that the tentacles of the Northern Han Dynasty have extended into the entire America.

I'm afraid that the Northern Han Dynasty was already managing the entire Americas at this time. As for how the management was going, this Chen Fang had no way of guessing.

This sunflower seed is a good thing. Fried melon seeds of various flavors are the favorite of Chinese foodies.

But picking up the bag of sunflower seeds and pouring out a few, Chen Fang was a little depressed, why these sunflower seeds are full of needle holes.

Looking at the two cooks who were still poking all kinds of ingredients with silver needles, Chen Fang was very depressed, you didn't even let go of this little melon seeds.

Forget it, they are also doing their best, just talk to them later.

Chen Fang directly ordered a fried melon seed, grabbed a few and tasted it, it was a familiar and nostalgic taste.

Today's lunch, Wu Meiniang was still not happy, but the princes and princesses were happy.

During the fight, it made Wu Meiniang's brows relax a little. After all, they are her own children. Seeing them happy, and how many parents would always be sad, the emperor's family is also human.When lunch was over, the tableware was removed.

However, Wu Meiniang saw that Chen Fang asked people to bring exquisite white porcelain plates full of candied fruits and snacks.

Wu Meiniang noticed a plate of dry fried melon seeds, which seemed to have never been seen before.

"Chen Fang, what is this?"

"It's from the Northern Han Dynasty, please taste it, Your Majesty and Your Highness!"

Wu Meiniang gently pinched one, but the perfect finger that made Chen Fang amazed every time he saw it hesitated there.

"How to eat?"

Well, Chen Fang forgot, no one in the Tang Dynasty has cracked melon seeds in this era.

"Your Majesty, just put it between your teeth and bite it, just eat the white melon seeds in the middle!"

Chen Fang was afraid that Wu Meiniang would also eat the melon seed shells, and Chen Fang would inevitably suffer a lot of anger.

According to what Chen Fang said, Wu Meiniang cracked open the shell of the melon seeds and carefully ate the white melon seeds.

It was quite tasteless at first, but after knocking a few, it gradually became interesting.

The little princes and princesses also pinched and kowtowed.

From unfamiliarity to proficiency, a lot of melon seed shells were gradually scattered on the table.Other preserved fruit snacks will also be moved, but everyone prefers the plate of melon seeds.

Sure enough, this thing has been tested by countless people, and it is the favorite of foodies.

Li Xian and Li Dan actually started a competition to see who could knock faster, it was really idle.Think about the identities of these two in the future. When Tang Zhongzong and Tang Ruizong were young, they competed to eat melon seeds, and Chen Fang was also drunk.

"Chen Fang, let the Shangshi Bureau prepare more of these items from the Northern Han Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, this thing can also be planted in Datang!"

"Oh, according to the Minister of Taifu Temple, this plant will be widely planted in Bailuyuan after the spring of next year!"

"According to the order!"

Chen Fang saw the old eunuch go to pass the decree.This Taifu Temple is in charge of grain, money and silk, which is usually called Dasinong.

The nine temples and five prisons in Chang'an City actually serve the royal family.And the three provinces and six ministries govern the world.Duties sometimes overlap, but they all perform their duties.

Well, next year, the Bailuyuan will be full of sunflowers, and the sunflowers will bloom towards the sun. Think about it, it will be a sight.

Bailuyuan, Chen Fang just remembered at this time, Bailuyuan is not far from Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty at this time.It is a well-known place in later generations, a novel, a TV series have promoted it to everyone, and many people go there to check in.

"Chen Fang, also send a plate to the East Palace, and also send some to His Majesty Daming Palace!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not suitable to eat this thing!"

"Oh, then don't send it to Daming Palace! Just send a plate to the East Palace."

Looking at Wu Meiniang who couldn't stop talking in the bead curtain, women really like to eat melon seeds.Knock a little more, and the troubles are gone.

It is also a beautiful sight to watch Wu Meiniang eating melon seeds through the bead curtain.This woman is beautiful to a certain extent, she does everything so beautifully.Of course, Chen Fang just admired it.

It seems that Wu Meiniang really likes fried melon seeds, and these little princes and princesses obviously like it very much.

Princess Anding was helping Princess Taiping peel the melon seeds, and put the melon seeds on her sister's tender palm.Li Xian and Li Dan competed faster, and finally Li Xian also joined in and swept all directions.

The nobles in the palace liked it, so naturally they were too busy to run errands, but Chen Fang didn't have to worry about it, someone sent the sunflower seeds to Shangshi Bureau, and he only needed to process them.

It's just that the officials of the palace supervisor have been tossing a lot over the past few days for the sunflower seeds. For this reason, the caravan sent to the Northern Han Dynasty this year has temporarily added two waves.

It is estimated that the Northern Han Dynasty will also take this opportunity to slaughter Datang's caravan. Of course, this is not something Chen Fang should worry about.
