Chapter 94
In Qinghe Town, Sanlang was also packing his luggage and secretly transferred his own kiln factory to other people in the town. In private, he only said that his family is now the king of the county, and he is not suitable for operating these industries that "take profits from the people", so as not to He was impeached by the censor.The one who took over thought he had got a good deal, and actually helped to hide it.
Qiancang, who stayed at Qinghe instead of Shang Qiulu, was aware of it. However, since Shang Qiulu was almost poisoned by the emperor, this guy conspired with his good brother to betray the secret guard camp, but Shang Qiulu let him stay. Here, he assisted San Lang and Mrs. Gong to evacuate secretly, so he didn't leave with Shang Qiulu.As for the fact that Saburo sold his property and prepared to evacuate, he could only help to conceal it together, so how could he sue?
Before the first snow came, the weather was already very cold. Mrs. Gong pretended to be ill, and Dr. Mao's doctor pretended to come to the doctor for several days. He only said that Mrs. Gong was really weak and couldn't stand the cold. After entering the body, Saburo had no choice but to send an urgent memorial, asking His Majesty to allow him to take his "aunt" who raised him to the South China Sea to escape the cold.
Yes, "Aunt", Mrs. Gong had already been declared "died of illness" when she was in the palace. The current Mrs. Gong is no longer the concubine of the palace, but a sister of the family who pretends to be the concubine of Gong. She raised Saburo since she was a child, and now San Lang became the king of the county, so he naturally wanted to enshrine this "aunt" in the hall.
Because it was related to the health of "Auntie", Saburo didn't even have time to wait for the emperor's order. The next day after the memorial was sent out, he took "Auntie" and some attendant maids of the county palace, and drove the carriage to the South China Sea. Qiancang sent someone He also returned to Beijing to deliver the letter, pretending to follow and monitor, and followed along with a few cronies.
In the imperial city, the emperor received this nondescript "memorial" and saw that the words "Gong's aunt" were mentioned on it. The scandal was brought out to the courtiers, and he could only hold his nose and acquiesce, and the original guards of the palace also followed a few, the emperor thought that he still held their mother and child firmly in his hands, which made people open From the private treasury, I picked some warming and nourishing medicinal materials, and ordered some warm furs and other items to be sent over. Although the woman betrayed herself, it was for the child... that's all!Even for Saburo's sake!
Prince Pinghai's mansion, Wang Kunfeng and Bai Chunsheng, who also received the secret letter from Saburo, were greatly relieved. It is not easy to do rebellion, especially since they still have hostages in the hands of the emperor. If they want to pull the team to betray the court , the first thing is to fish out all the hostages they are holding.
It's not that Bai Chunsheng doesn't care about Xie Huang and Aunt Zhou, it's just that from the perspective of closeness, if they betray the court, those closest to them will suffer first, followed by old acquaintances like Xie Huang and Aunt Zhou.
Now they secretly transfer Sanlang and Mrs. Gong out first, and when the day comes that they have to leave, no matter whether Xie Huang and Aunt Zhou agree or not, Bai Chunsheng will definitely take them away and continue to stay. The emperor did not expect They're okay, once they think about it, the emperor doesn't even need to do it himself, and the people below will naturally rush to kill them to please the emperor... I just hope that Xie Huang and Aunt Zhou can understand my painstaking efforts.
After winter, Wang Kunfeng also used the pretense of military training to select a group of quick-witted half-demons from the previous Eastern Expeditions. He said that he would train a group of generals in the new army of half-demons. The emperor readily agreed. Kunfeng can think of this, as expected of his own birth, in terms of military accomplishment, he is even more like the emperor than the prince, and he has allocated an extra batch of military expenses to let him train these half-monsters well, even with Wang Kunfeng thinking If he wanted to take the princess to the East China Sea to escape the winter and escape the cold, he agreed with his eyes closed.
If it weren't for the prince's poking at the court, all the princes would have thought that the emperor wanted to make this despicable half-demon the crown prince!
However, the emperor didn't trust his son completely. After all, in the name of rewards, he rewarded two internal eunuchs to accompany them to the East China Sea for military training.
Wang Kunfeng sneered, let the two inner eunuchs pretend to be pretentious, and let them jump around for the time being. After he raised the banner of rebellion, these two goods can be used to sacrifice the flag, and even the money for buying three animals is not enough. save!
But Bai Chunsheng couldn't see others bullying his cat master like this. On the first day, he endured it for the sake of the emperor. On the second day, when the two eunuchs tried to get their hands on the military salary, the river mussel sneered and ordered him to buy it in one go. With a thousand catties of glutinous rice, he enthusiastically invited the two inner supervisors to help him make rice cakes.
"What is a rice cake?" The two inner eunuchs looked confused. They can't be blamed. People in this time and space are not used to making rice cakes with glutinous rice. There are only three functions of glutinous rice: steaming glutinous rice, making various pastries with glutinous rice, and sacrifices.
"I'm going out for military training this time. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to spend the New Year with my father and queen, so I thought I would prepare some fresh food for my father and queen before I left. It should be considered as a New Year's gift for my father and queen in advance. It's a little bit of our love for our children." Bai Chunsheng said as he pulled the two eunuchs into the palace and closed the door with a bang.
The two internal monitors heard the loud sound of closing the door, and they were taken aback. They suddenly felt like they were about to be beaten by the door, bah bah bah!Who is the dog?They are the supervisors bestowed by His Majesty!In broad daylight, does the princess still dare to embarrass them?
Of course the princess will not embarrass them.
The princess just wanted to ask the two eunuchs to help make rice cakes together.
"So much? Why does the concubine have to do this kind of rough work by herself? What about the servants in the palace?" The two eunuchs were forced to follow Bai Chunsheng to scour the glutinous rice for a while, and then it was miserable. More than 30 catties, Bai Chunsheng is a monster, with infinite strength, carrying the basket as if playing, ordinary people like them can't bear it, can't help but secretly complain.
However, the concubine just said that the rice cake made of these glutinous rice is to be tasted by the majesty and the empress herself. It is a great respect for them to invite the two of them. I have not seen so many officials in the palace. Are you qualified to help?
But they really can't stand it!Not only was the bamboo basket extremely heavy, but the glutinous rice became even heavier after it was soaked in water. It almost broke their waists. They couldn't help but remind the princess that although this rice cake was made for the empress, who really did it with his own hands? Do you want to make pastries?Those who say that they are "made by themselves", who is not watching, and when they are out of the pot, put them on a plate and they are considered to be made by themselves?
This Princess Pinghai is probably not a fool, is she?
Do you really believe that the pastries dedicated to His Majesty and Empress must be made by yourself?Still making a thousand catties of glutinous rice?
Is this river clam crazy?
"No!" Bai Chunsheng put the bamboo basket filled with glutinous rice on the ground with a serious face, and turned his head to look at the two inner eunuchs, "Both adults serve in front of your majesty and empress, and they have won the trust of your majesty and empress. How can it be possible to deceive the superior and the inferior like this? Since I, a junior, have said that I want to make rice cakes for the elders myself, how can I not keep my word and pretend that I made rice cakes made by the servants and maids of the palace? How can this be Isn't it the crime of deceiving the king?"
Bai Chunsheng looked at the two inner eunuchs righteously with his beautiful eyes, as if as long as they nodded, he would immediately enter the palace and accuse them of deceiving the emperor. Dare to say one more word?
I could only bitterly move the heavy bamboo basket, and wash the glutinous rice little by little, and because it was to be eaten by His Majesty and Empress, I didn't even dare to steal it if I was lazy, for fear that if it wasn't cleaned, it would be eaten by His Majesty and His Majesty. If the empress eats her stomach badly, then it is not a crime of deceiving the emperor, but a serious crime of beheading and ransacking the house!
Bai Chunsheng snickered, these two eunuchs had been angry with his cat master for a day and a half, so he would torment them for ten days and a half months, so that they would consume their energy, so as not to think about it all day long when they have nothing to do. Going to find trouble with his cat master.
If this encounter can't stop them, in fact, besides rice cakes, there are many other snacks that can be made during the New Year, such as maltose, fried buns, rice crackers, peanut candy, etc., according to his previous life. Make the same shopping cart for my mother to buy new year's goods, and make sure that next year there will be no duplicates!
He still overestimated the physical strength of the two inner eunuchs.
Rice cakes are not so easy to make.
Mix the cleaned glutinous rice and japonica rice according to a certain ratio, soak in cold water overnight, take them out and dry them, then steam them in a steamer, take out the steamed glutinous rice and japonica rice, put them in a large stone mortar while they are hot, and then It is necessary to beat slowly with a wooden hammer, while turning over the rice cake while beating, which requires the cooperation of two people.
Bai Chunsheng intentionally tormented the two internal eunuchs, so naturally he refused to let them idle. He beat for a while by himself, and then asked the two internal eunuchs to help him beat for a while. The three of them took turns, but the wooden hammer weighed five or six catties. Ordinary people may not feel it when they hold it, but when they wave it and beat it, they feel extremely heavy.
The two inner eunuchs only worked for half a day, and then rushed to the street in the second half. They lay on the bed and yelled, saying that their arms hurt and their waists were about to break. They must not be able to get up. voila.
They still understand the reason, knowing that their status is humble, they dare not invite the imperial physician to see them.
Bai Chunsheng didn't intend to really exhaust the two eunuchs to death, so he immediately ordered someone to invite the doctor who was supported by the palace, and showed it to the two eunuchs. He only said that his muscles and bones were injured. Overjoyed, he praised the doctor a few words, and said that his old bones could not bear the fatigue, and he had to lie on the bed for ten days and a half months.
The doctor had received instructions from the princess earlier, and first poked them with silver needles for a long time. After they were too scared to move, he prescribed a lot of bitter medicine. As long as the two eunuchs didn't make rice cakes, they would be lucky. Even if he became a hedgehog, he didn't dare to say anything, but he still wanted to express his gratitude to Bai Chunsheng, and promised that if His Majesty asked the Empress, he would definitely say that the rice cake was made by the princess herself. This kind of filial piety is simply touching!
Their old waists are almost exhausted!Can you not be moved?
Hearing the sound of the concubine beating the rice cakes in the yard, the two eunuchs looked at each other, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this Concubine Pinghai is really filial to her majesty and empress despite her humble background!
After hammering such a heavy wooden hammer for half a day, they felt that they were about to see King Yama, and they could no longer be interested in taking care of military affairs. Military affairs and the prince have only one life!
Wang Kunfeng already knew that his family's He Mu was going to torment the two lifeless inner eunuchs, and within two days after hearing about it, the two inner eunuchs were tossed so hard that they couldn't get up on the bed, and they still had to face each other. His family's mussel pleaded guilty, afraid that his family's mussel would go to the palace and tell the emperor and empress that they were lazy, that even the concubine could do the work, but they could not do it after only half a day?But is it possible that a mere court servant is more delicate than the noble masters?
"If you really hate them, why do you do it yourself? I asked a few people to push them into the river in the inner city. In this winter, they were infected with the wind and cold, and they will surely kill half of their lives!" Wang Kunfeng pretended to complain, but in fact Complacently distressed, his family's He Mu tossed these two dead eunuchs because he felt sorry for him, he couldn't be more proud!If it weren't for the fact that it was hard to talk about it, he wished he could go all over the imperial city to show it off!
However, the heartache is really heartache, the skin of his mussels is delicate, and after holding that wooden hammer for so long, the palms of his hands turned red!
"You made so many rice cakes, don't you really intend to give them to your majesty and empress?" Looking at the off-white rice cakes piled up half of the yard, Master Mao felt upset, and Empress Gong didn't mind it, after all, it belonged to San Lang Aunt, but why should the emperor eat rice cakes made by his daughter-in-law?
He had eaten that rice cake, and it was baked on charcoal fire in winter until both sides were browned. It was delicious to dip in sugar or chili sauce. He also planned to make more and take it with him on the road. If he gave it to the emperor, I'm afraid These are only enough for him to do favors.
#How can there be such a nasty creature as father in this world? #cat uncle cursed the emperor in his heart with extreme displeasure.
"Don't worry, rice cakes are not easy to eat. If you eat too much food, I plan to give fifty catties each to your majesty and empress. Just try something new, and then write down the recipe and present it to your majesty. If your majesty eats it I like it, of course the imperial chef made the offering, our family is poor, how can we have the money to do this kind of favor?" He Mujing is indeed the second generation of demolition who made a fortune by collecting rent in his previous life, and it is almost penny-pinching when it comes to small accounts !
"Then put away the rest, don't let them see it." Master Cat was very protective.The rice cakes made by his family's mussels are not willing to be eaten by others!
"Add another hundred catties to Saburo and the others. I'm afraid we won't be able to spend the New Year together this year. I will leave another hundred catties for Auntie and the wet nurse. We will take the rest except for your majesty and empress. Military camp Is everything arranged over there?"
Because this year he can only take selected reserve officers to the East China Sea for training, so the large force of the new army still has to stay in the imperial city, and his master cat has been busy with this matter these days.
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged at the barracks. Those half-monsters have suffered a lot in the past, and now they have entered the barracks. Although they still have to train every day, but after all, they have military pay and food. It is much better than sleeping outside. You Feeling sorry for them, I specially sent them a batch of chili sauce, how could they be willing to leave?" Master Cat snorted.Those half-demons can fight for an extra spoonful of hot sauce for each meal, so why worry about not working hard in training?
"As long as they are willing to follow you, let alone hot sauce, they will be indispensable for any rare food in my workshop from now on." Bai Chunsheng smiled, and said seriously, "I plan to go to the palace tomorrow to meet your majesty and empress. Send these prepared rice cakes up."
"It's also time to send it up, but don't be too late, wait until the morning court begins before going there, go to Zhengyang Palace first, Sanlang happens to have a letter from his family that he wants to send to the empress."
"I see." Said it was given by Saburo, nine out of ten it was given by Mrs. Gong to this clan sister.It's really not easy for the emperor's narrow-minded and vengeful to see.
"Is this the rice cake you made yourself?" In Zhengyang Palace, Empress Gong asked, pointing to a few fragrant new dishes on the plate.
Before setting off to the East China Sea for military training (overwintering), Bai Chunsheng presented the finished rice cakes to the empress along with the method of making them. After getting the sign and entering the palace, he arrived at Queen Gong's place.
The palace people on Queen Gong's side have a good impression of the couple in Prince Pinghai's mansion. To be precise, because Queen Gong has a good impression of the prince and his wife, these palace people are naturally based on the master's preferences. Chun Sheng was very polite.
Seeing that Empress Gong was receiving the concubines who came to pay her respects, Bai Chunsheng had nothing to do, so he ordered someone to get some rice cakes, went to the kitchen to find a familiar imperial chef, and together they cooked up a few new dishes with rice cakes as the main ingredient. There are stir-fried rice cakes with shredded vegetables and pork, brown sugar rice cakes dipped in brown sugar on the outside of burnt rice cakes, golden fried rice cakes, and sour and appetizing kimchi fried rice cakes. I only made a little of each, such as rice cakes. Eating too much is bad for the stomach, so Bai Chunsheng dare not do more.
What's more, new dishes are rare only if they are produced in small quantities. Once they are cooked, they can be made into a big pot, which looks cheap. How can he cheat the emperor for rewards?cough!
Empress Gong heard from her mother that Princess Pinghai came to pay her respects, and she brought fresh food made by herself, and she didn't care about playing games with the concubines in the harem, so she sent her back with a few words and ordered her to Fresh tea fruits and hot milk tea were served, and then someone invited Bai Chunsheng in to talk.
"I heard in a daze that you dragged the two eunuchs bestowed by His Majesty to mess around in the palace again?" Empress Gong gave Bai Chunsheng a funny look. Everyone knew what the eunuchs bestowed by His Majesty did when they went to the palace. Originally, the people in the palace wanted to see their husband and wife joke, but they didn't expect to be slapped in the face in less than three days. It was really a joy!
Their Majesty has always been suspicious and ill, wishing to arrange a few spies to follow everyone around him. The delusion of persecution has reached the advanced stage, and there is no cure. Therefore, all the eunuchs sent by His Majesty are showing off their power, but they did not expect to fall into Bai Chunsheng's hands In less than three days, he was bedridden, and I don't know if His Majesty will blame...
"Your Majesty has been wronged! What are you doing nonsense? Didn't you get my father's favor and ordered me to go to the East China Sea with Brother Kun to train soldiers? I think it may be too late to come back this New Year to celebrate the New Year with my father and my empress. Hurry up!" In a hurry, I want to make some fresh food and present it to my father and empress. Isn’t that a little bit of filial piety from brother Kun and me? I thought that the two inner eunuchs served my father and empress closely, so I was worried about the food I made. I didn't like the taste, so I asked the two adults to help make rice cakes, but I didn't expect the two adults to be too old, but they fell ill from exhaustion, it's really a sin!"
"Now the doctor in the mansion is seeing the two adults. He said that there is nothing serious. It will be fine to rest in bed for ten days and a half months. It is just a good opportunity to take care of your body, so as to avoid getting old and sick, right?"
"Pfft~ You're the only one with a lot of nonsense!" Empress Gong thought of how miserable the two eunuchs were tormented by him, and she was immediately happy. This master is not tired yet, but they are tired, and it is because of your kindness that you still invite them to see a doctor? Hmph!"
Empress Gong deserved to be born in Gongdou, and her ability to fight back is also first-rate. After she said so, the two internal eunuchs might not even have the courage to stay in bed.
"Let's not talk about those two eunuchs, what kind of fresh food are you cooking? Last time you brought in a lot of hot sauce?"
"I also ordered someone to make some hot sauce, but the pottery pot containing the hot sauce is newly made, and it needs to be soaked in clean water overnight before it can be used. After a few days, people from the palace will bring it in. When the time comes Let's share some among the ladies in the palaces." Bai Chunsheng explained with a smile.
"The food I made this time is called rice cake, which is made from a mixture of glutinous rice and round-grained rice. Father and Empress are probably very busy during the New Year's festival. This rice cake is very filling. You only need to eat a few pieces, and it lasts for several hours. You won’t feel hungry anymore, don’t you believe me, try it?”
"Okay!" Empress Gong was also a little interested, so she picked up a piece of steaming brown sugar rice cake and ate it.She always likes to eat sweet food, this brown sugar rice cake is sweet on the outside, the inner layer of rice cake is baked to be crispy, but the innermost layer is very soft, it really fills my stomach after eating.
"Chun Sheng is here? What did you do for fresh food?" While eating, the emperor's voice came from outside the hall, listening to the voice, the emperor is in a good mood today?
Behind the emperor are the prince and Wang Kunfeng brothers. His highness the prince is becoming more and more calm now, and he behaves in line with the emperor. Although he lost his biological mother, he has finally regained the favor of the emperor. The concubines in the harem dare not be like They slandered and insulted him like before.
Seeing Bai Chunsheng, His Highness the Crown Prince nodded slightly, but did not speak to him, but respectfully greeted Empress Gong.
Empress Gong treated the prince much better than before. In the past, she was very impatient with the prince because of the former queen. These days, all the concubines in the harem who gave birth to princes came to curry favor with her, the queen who could not give birth. In words, she hoped that she, the queen, could support their prince to the throne, and those who couldn't bear their temper pretended to be reserved and magnanimous, saying that if their prince became the prince, when they became emperor in the future, they would definitely not Will treat her badly, a queen dowager cannot do without her and so on.
Pooh!Go dreaming!
She is already a queen now, no matter which prince takes over, she is a certain empress dowager, and she wants them to give alms?
Besides, the mothers of these princes are not dead yet. When the new prince has his own biological mother, how can he be sincerely filial to her nominal mother?Why not just support the current Crown Prince, the Queen is dead anyway, and the Crown Prince has no biological mother, so he can only rely on her stepmother for support. This kind of relationship can last long. She is out of her mind to support those who have her own mother Damn prince, right?
Besides, having said that, judging from the emperor's intentions, the prince did not intend to replace him and establish another heir.Why should she cause trouble?No matter how disgusting the crown prince's biological mother is, the eldest brother of the same mother has a good relationship with her. After all, it is the most cost-effective to support the crown prince!
Thinking of this, Empress Gong took a piece of brown sugar rice cake for His Royal Highness with her own hands: "This is a rice cake made by your sister-in-law, try it while it's hot." Then she served vegetables for the emperor herself, and the father and son went to court early in the morning Well, I should be hungry after being busy in the court for more than an hour.
Qiancang, who stayed at Qinghe instead of Shang Qiulu, was aware of it. However, since Shang Qiulu was almost poisoned by the emperor, this guy conspired with his good brother to betray the secret guard camp, but Shang Qiulu let him stay. Here, he assisted San Lang and Mrs. Gong to evacuate secretly, so he didn't leave with Shang Qiulu.As for the fact that Saburo sold his property and prepared to evacuate, he could only help to conceal it together, so how could he sue?
Before the first snow came, the weather was already very cold. Mrs. Gong pretended to be ill, and Dr. Mao's doctor pretended to come to the doctor for several days. He only said that Mrs. Gong was really weak and couldn't stand the cold. After entering the body, Saburo had no choice but to send an urgent memorial, asking His Majesty to allow him to take his "aunt" who raised him to the South China Sea to escape the cold.
Yes, "Aunt", Mrs. Gong had already been declared "died of illness" when she was in the palace. The current Mrs. Gong is no longer the concubine of the palace, but a sister of the family who pretends to be the concubine of Gong. She raised Saburo since she was a child, and now San Lang became the king of the county, so he naturally wanted to enshrine this "aunt" in the hall.
Because it was related to the health of "Auntie", Saburo didn't even have time to wait for the emperor's order.

Prince Pinghai's mansion, Wang Kunfeng and Bai Chunsheng, who also received the secret letter from Saburo, were greatly relieved. It is not easy to do rebellion, especially since they still have hostages in the hands of the emperor. If they want to pull the team to betray the court , the first thing is to fish out all the hostages they are holding.
It's not that Bai Chunsheng doesn't care about Xie Huang and Aunt Zhou, it's just that from the perspective of closeness, if they betray the court, those closest to them will suffer first, followed by old acquaintances like Xie Huang and Aunt Zhou.
Now they secretly transfer Sanlang and Mrs. Gong out first, and when the day comes that they have to leave, no matter whether Xie Huang and Aunt Zhou agree or not, Bai Chunsheng will definitely take them away and continue to stay. The emperor did not expect They're okay, once they think about it, the emperor doesn't even need to do it himself, and the people below will naturally rush to kill them to please the emperor... I just hope that Xie Huang and Aunt Zhou can understand my painstaking efforts.
After winter, Wang Kunfeng also used the pretense of military training to select a group of quick-witted half-demons from the previous Eastern Expeditions. He said that he would train a group of generals in the new army of half-demons. The emperor readily agreed. Kunfeng can think of this, as expected of his own birth, in terms of military accomplishment, he is even more like the emperor than the prince, and he has allocated an extra batch of military expenses to let him train these half-monsters well, even with Wang Kunfeng thinking If he wanted to take the princess to the East China Sea to escape the winter and escape the cold, he agreed with his eyes closed.

Bai Chunsheng said as he pulled the two eunuchs into the palace and closed the door with a bang.

They suddenly felt like they were about to be beaten by the door, bah bah bah!Who is the dog?They are the supervisors bestowed by His Majesty!In broad daylight, does the princess still dare to embarrass them?
Of course the princess will not embarrass them.
The princess just wanted to ask the two eunuchs to help make rice cakes together.
"So much? Why does the concubine have to do this kind of rough work by herself? What about the servants in the palace?" The two eunuchs were forced to follow Bai Chunsheng to scour the glutinous rice for a while, and then it was miserable. More than 30 catties, Bai Chunsheng is a monster, with infinite strength, carrying the basket as if playing, ordinary people like them can't bear it, can't help but secretly complain.

I could only bitterly move the heavy bamboo basket, and wash the glutinous rice little by little, and because it was to be eaten by His Majesty and Empress, I didn't even dare to steal it if I was lazy, for fear that if it wasn't cleaned, it would be eaten by His Majesty and His Majesty.

Going to find trouble with his cat master.
If this encounter can't stop them, in fact, besides rice cakes, there are many other snacks that can be made during the New Year, such as maltose, fried buns, rice crackers, peanut candy, etc., according to his previous life. Make the same shopping cart for my mother to buy new year's goods, and make sure that next year there will be no duplicates!
He still overestimated the physical strength of the two inner eunuchs.
Rice cakes are not so easy to make.
Mix the cleaned glutinous rice and japonica rice according to a certain ratio, soak in cold water overnight, take them out and dry them, then steam them in a steamer, take out the steamed glutinous rice and japonica rice, put them in a large stone mortar while they are hot, and then It is necessary to beat slowly with a wooden hammer, while turning over the rice cake while beating, which requires the cooperation of two people.
Bai Chunsheng intentionally tormented the two internal eunuchs, so naturally he refused to let them idle. He beat for a while by himself, and then asked the two internal eunuchs to help him beat for a while. The three of them took turns, but the wooden hammer weighed five or six catties. Ordinary people may not feel it when they hold it, but when they wave it and beat it, they feel extremely heavy.
The two inner eunuchs only worked for half a day, and then rushed to the street in the second half. They lay on the bed and yelled, saying that their arms hurt and their waists were about to break. They must not be able to get up. voila.
They still understand the reason, knowing that their status is humble, they dare not invite the imperial physician to see them.
Bai Chunsheng didn't intend to really exhaust the two eunuchs to death, so he immediately ordered someone to invite the doctor who was supported by the palace, and showed it to the two eunuchs. He only said that his muscles and bones were injured. Overjoyed, he praised the doctor a few words, and said that his old bones could not bear the fatigue, and he had to lie on the bed for ten days and a half months.
The doctor had received instructions from the princess earlier, and first poked them with silver needles for a long time. After they were too scared to move, he prescribed a lot of bitter medicine. As long as the two eunuchs didn't make rice cakes, they would be lucky. Even if he became a hedgehog, he didn't dare to say anything, but he still wanted to express his gratitude to Bai Chunsheng, and promised that if His Majesty asked the Empress, he would definitely say that the rice cake was made by the princess herself. This kind of filial piety is simply touching!
Their old waists are almost exhausted!Can you not be moved?
Hearing the sound of the concubine beating the rice cakes in the yard, the two eunuchs looked at each other, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this Concubine Pinghai is really filial to her majesty and empress despite her humble background!
After hammering such a heavy wooden hammer for half a day, they felt that they were about to see King Yama, and they could no longer be interested in taking care of military affairs. Military affairs and the prince have only one life!
Wang Kunfeng already knew that his family's He Mu was going to torment the two lifeless inner eunuchs, and within two days after hearing about it, the two inner eunuchs were tossed so hard that they couldn't get up on the bed, and they still had to face each other. His family's mussel pleaded guilty, afraid that his family's mussel would go to the palace and tell the emperor and empress that they were lazy, that even the concubine could do the work, but they could not do it after only half a day?But is it possible that a mere court servant is more delicate than the noble masters?
"If you really hate them, why do you do it yourself? I asked a few people to push them into the river in the inner city. In this winter, they were infected with the wind and cold, and they will surely kill half of their lives!" Wang Kunfeng pretended to complain, but in fact Complacently distressed, his family's He Mu tossed these two dead eunuchs because he felt sorry for him, he couldn't be more proud!If it weren't for the fact that it was hard to talk about it, he wished he could go all over the imperial city to show it off!
However, the heartache is really heartache, the skin of his mussels is delicate, and after holding that wooden hammer for so long, the palms of his hands turned red!
"You made so many rice cakes, don't you really intend to give them to your majesty and empress?" Looking at the off-white rice cakes piled up half of the yard, Master Mao felt upset, and Empress Gong didn't mind it, after all, it belonged to San Lang Aunt, but why should the emperor eat rice cakes made by his daughter-in-law?
He had eaten that rice cake, and it was baked on charcoal fire in winter until both sides were browned. It was delicious to dip in sugar or chili sauce. He also planned to make more and take it with him on the road. If he gave it to the emperor, I'm afraid These are only enough for him to do favors.
#How can there be such a nasty creature as father in this world? #cat uncle cursed the emperor in his heart with extreme displeasure.
"Don't worry, rice cakes are not easy to eat. If you eat too much food, I plan to give fifty catties each to your majesty and empress. Just try something new, and then write down the recipe and present it to your majesty. If your majesty eats it I like it, of course the imperial chef made the offering, our family is poor, how can we have the money to do this kind of favor?" He Mujing is indeed the second generation of demolition who made a fortune by collecting rent in his previous life, and it is almost penny-pinching when it comes to small accounts !
"Then put away the rest, don't let them see it." Master Cat was very protective.The rice cakes made by his family's mussels are not willing to be eaten by others!
"Add another hundred catties to Saburo and the others. I'm afraid we won't be able to spend the New Year together this year. I will leave another hundred catties for Auntie and the wet nurse. We will take the rest except for your majesty and empress. Military camp Is everything arranged over there?"
Because this year he can only take selected reserve officers to the East China Sea for training, so the large force of the new army still has to stay in the imperial city, and his master cat has been busy with this matter these days.
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged at the barracks. Those half-monsters have suffered a lot in the past, and now they have entered the barracks. Although they still have to train every day, but after all, they have military pay and food. It is much better than sleeping outside. You Feeling sorry for them, I specially sent them a batch of chili sauce, how could they be willing to leave?" Master Cat snorted.Those half-demons can fight for an extra spoonful of hot sauce for each meal, so why worry about not working hard in training?
"As long as they are willing to follow you, let alone hot sauce, they will be indispensable for any rare food in my workshop from now on." Bai Chunsheng smiled, and said seriously, "I plan to go to the palace tomorrow to meet your majesty and empress. Send these prepared rice cakes up."
"It's also time to send it up, but don't be too late, wait until the morning court begins before going there, go to Zhengyang Palace first, Sanlang happens to have a letter from his family that he wants to send to the empress."
"I see." Said it was given by Saburo, nine out of ten it was given by Mrs. Gong to this clan sister.It's really not easy for the emperor's narrow-minded and vengeful to see.
"Is this the rice cake you made yourself?" In Zhengyang Palace, Empress Gong asked, pointing to a few fragrant new dishes on the plate.
Before setting off to the East China Sea for military training (overwintering), Bai Chunsheng presented the finished rice cakes to the empress along with the method of making them. After getting the sign and entering the palace, he arrived at Queen Gong's place.
The palace people on Queen Gong's side have a good impression of the couple in Prince Pinghai's mansion. To be precise, because Queen Gong has a good impression of the prince and his wife, these palace people are naturally based on the master's preferences. Chun Sheng was very polite.
Seeing that Empress Gong was receiving the concubines who came to pay her respects, Bai Chunsheng had nothing to do, so he ordered someone to get some rice cakes, went to the kitchen to find a familiar imperial chef, and together they cooked up a few new dishes with rice cakes as the main ingredient. There are stir-fried rice cakes with shredded vegetables and pork, brown sugar rice cakes dipped in brown sugar on the outside of burnt rice cakes, golden fried rice cakes, and sour and appetizing kimchi fried rice cakes. I only made a little of each, such as rice cakes. Eating too much is bad for the stomach, so Bai Chunsheng dare not do more.
What's more, new dishes are rare only if they are produced in small quantities. Once they are cooked, they can be made into a big pot, which looks cheap. How can he cheat the emperor for rewards?cough!
Empress Gong heard from her mother that Princess Pinghai came to pay her respects, and she brought fresh food made by herself, and she didn't care about playing games with the concubines in the harem, so she sent her back with a few words and ordered her to Fresh tea fruits and hot milk tea were served, and then someone invited Bai Chunsheng in to talk.
"I heard in a daze that you dragged the two eunuchs bestowed by His Majesty to mess around in the palace again?" Empress Gong gave Bai Chunsheng a funny look. Everyone knew what the eunuchs bestowed by His Majesty did when they went to the palace. Originally, the people in the palace wanted to see their husband and wife joke, but they didn't expect to be slapped in the face in less than three days. It was really a joy!
Their Majesty has always been suspicious and ill, wishing to arrange a few spies to follow everyone around him. The delusion of persecution has reached the advanced stage, and there is no cure. Therefore, all the eunuchs sent by His Majesty are showing off their power, but they did not expect to fall into Bai Chunsheng's hands In less than three days, he was bedridden, and I don't know if His Majesty will blame...
"Your Majesty has been wronged! What are you doing nonsense? Didn't you get my father's favor and ordered me to go to the East China Sea with Brother Kun to train soldiers? I think it may be too late to come back this New Year to celebrate the New Year with my father and my empress. Hurry up!" In a hurry, I want to make some fresh food and present it to my father and empress. Isn’t that a little bit of filial piety from brother Kun and me? I thought that the two inner eunuchs served my father and empress closely, so I was worried about the food I made. I didn't like the taste, so I asked the two adults to help make rice cakes, but I didn't expect the two adults to be too old, but they fell ill from exhaustion, it's really a sin!"
"Now the doctor in the mansion is seeing the two adults. He said that there is nothing serious. It will be fine to rest in bed for ten days and a half months. It is just a good opportunity to take care of your body, so as to avoid getting old and sick, right?"
"Pfft~ You're the only one with a lot of nonsense!" Empress Gong thought of how miserable the two eunuchs were tormented by him, and she was immediately happy. This master is not tired yet, but they are tired, and it is because of your kindness that you still invite them to see a doctor? Hmph!"
Empress Gong deserved to be born in Gongdou, and her ability to fight back is also first-rate. After she said so, the two internal eunuchs might not even have the courage to stay in bed.
"Let's not talk about those two eunuchs, what kind of fresh food are you cooking? Last time you brought in a lot of hot sauce?"
"I also ordered someone to make some hot sauce, but the pottery pot containing the hot sauce is newly made, and it needs to be soaked in clean water overnight before it can be used. After a few days, people from the palace will bring it in. When the time comes Let's share some among the ladies in the palaces." Bai Chunsheng explained with a smile.
"The food I made this time is called rice cake, which is made from a mixture of glutinous rice and round-grained rice. Father and Empress are probably very busy during the New Year's festival. This rice cake is very filling. You only need to eat a few pieces, and it lasts for several hours. You won’t feel hungry anymore, don’t you believe me, try it?”
"Okay!" Empress Gong was also a little interested, so she picked up a piece of steaming brown sugar rice cake and ate it.She always likes to eat sweet food, this brown sugar rice cake is sweet on the outside, the inner layer of rice cake is baked to be crispy, but the innermost layer is very soft, it really fills my stomach after eating.
"Chun Sheng is here? What did you do for fresh food?" While eating, the emperor's voice came from outside the hall, listening to the voice, the emperor is in a good mood today?
Behind the emperor are the prince and Wang Kunfeng brothers. His highness the prince is becoming more and more calm now, and he behaves in line with the emperor. Although he lost his biological mother, he has finally regained the favor of the emperor. The concubines in the harem dare not be like They slandered and insulted him like before.
Seeing Bai Chunsheng, His Highness the Crown Prince nodded slightly, but did not speak to him, but respectfully greeted Empress Gong.
Empress Gong treated the prince much better than before. In the past, she was very impatient with the prince because of the former queen. These days, all the concubines in the harem who gave birth to princes came to curry favor with her, the queen who could not give birth. In words, she hoped that she, the queen, could support their prince to the throne, and those who couldn't bear their temper pretended to be reserved and magnanimous, saying that if their prince became the prince, when they became emperor in the future, they would definitely not Will treat her badly, a queen dowager cannot do without her and so on.
Pooh!Go dreaming!
She is already a queen now, no matter which prince takes over, she is a certain empress dowager, and she wants them to give alms?
Besides, the mothers of these princes are not dead yet. When the new prince has his own biological mother, how can he be sincerely filial to her nominal mother?Why not just support the current Crown Prince, the Queen is dead anyway, and the Crown Prince has no biological mother, so he can only rely on her stepmother for support. This kind of relationship can last long. She is out of her mind to support those who have her own mother Damn prince, right?
Besides, having said that, judging from the emperor's intentions, the prince did not intend to replace him and establish another heir.Why should she cause trouble?No matter how disgusting the crown prince's biological mother is, the eldest brother of the same mother has a good relationship with her. After all, it is the most cost-effective to support the crown prince!
Thinking of this, Empress Gong took a piece of brown sugar rice cake for His Royal Highness with her own hands: "This is a rice cake made by your sister-in-law, try it while it's hot." Then she served vegetables for the emperor herself, and the father and son went to court early in the morning Well, I should be hungry after being busy in the court for more than an hour.
