Through the daily life of the princess

The small kitchens of the palaces of the princes and princesses usually make snacks and desserts. The three meals a day are prepared in the imperial dining room and then brought to the small kitchen to serve.There were only two princesses in the palace, and both princesses were very favored. When they heard that the eldest princess who was most favored by the emperor ordered food, the imperial dining room naturally did not dare to neglect. "Boss Liu, do you think what material is used for the fish sticks that the eldest princess wants here?"

Eunuch Liu, whose real name was Liu San, thought the name was not pleasant, so he changed his name to Liu Sanquan after entering the palace.Later, because of his sensitive tongue, he was assigned to the dining room, and climbed all the way from a young eunuch who set fire to the position of the head of the imperial dining room.Hearing that the emperor's favorite princess had ordered dishes, Eunuch Liu was about to pick out the ingredients himself: "The princess mainly eats fish sticks, so of course you have to choose the freshest ingredients!"

Soon Eunuch Liu selected the best rainbow trout, river mussels and other shellfish in Qingfeng Division, and asked the chef with the best knife skills to follow Gu Yu directly to the small kitchen of Zhaoyang Palace.The little eunuch who was waiting beside Eunuch Liu looked at Eunuch Liu who was smiling happily, and felt that his identity was strange. He had never seen Eunuch Liu so happy when he was serving the emperor. "Master, why did you choose rainbow trout when the eldest princess wanted to eat fish? Didn't the second princess also want to eat fish?"

The 50-year-old eunuch Liu smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. He has been rolling in the palace for more than 40 years. I am 54 years old, and the eunuchs over 60 years old in the palace are going to enter the Lishan Hall for the elderly. Although the treatment is very good, I don't want to be so idle every day.

There are too many battles in the prince's mansion, so the best place to leave the palace is of course the kitchen of the princess mansion.Now there are two princesses in the palace, the eldest princess is 12 years old, and the second princess is 10 years old. According to my age, of course I have to choose the eldest princess who will leave the palace at the age of 18. "

There is one more thing that Eunuch Liu didn’t say, that is something that only those over 50 years old can know, that is, the reason why Princess Shengping is favored by two generations of emperors is that she is very similar to the former empress, needless to say she looks exactly the same as the princess Eldest princess, as long as she doesn't die, she will always be favored.

Soon Eunuch Liu's "heart" was passed on to the emperor and empress. The emperor and empress were very concerned about the imperial dining room, which is related to the "lifeline of the country".For eunuch Liu's careful thinking, the emperor and the empress are happy to see it succeed. After all, they don't want Le Rong to have a kitchen manager who can't be assured. Eunuch Liu fully meets the conditions of the empress and empress.

When he heard the news, Lu Mengqiu was discussing with his youngest son about the famous post for the flower viewing banquet. Hearing that eunuch Liu refused to accept his old age and was going to follow Le Rong after he opened the mansion, he smiled and said, "Rong Rong will be blessed in the future." Lah! This Liu Sanquan has indeed got your father's veins right, as long as he can teach a good apprentice, you won't have to worry about Rong Rong Kaifu not taking him with you in the future."

Yuxiu also understood what Eunuch Liu meant, and said with a smile: "Rong Rong is not picky, but with such a person following, you don't have to worry about the food in Rong Rong's house in the future!"

Zhong Yan was discussing Ye Chengxiang's fate with his beloved prince, when he heard about eunuch Liu's retirement arrangement.Compared with Prime Minister Ye from Eunuch Liu, Zhong Yan couldn't help but said with emotion: "It would be great if Ye Yiming also had Liu Sanquan's free and easy personality!"

After being reminded by Le Rong, Yu Xiu told Yu Hai about this matter, and when the two sent people out to investigate overnight, they were discovered by Zhong Yan's hidden guards.The dark guard would naturally follow this clue to investigate, but found out about Ye Chengxiang's contact with his disciples earlier than Yuhai and Yuxiu.

The reason for Prime Minister Ye's sudden attack was also placed on Zhong Yan's desk.Prime Minister Ye's only son originally had no heirs, but two months ago, when Prime Minister Ye went to visit General Zhenbei who was injured and returned to the capital to recuperate.At the general's residence in Zhenbei, he saw a little captain in his 20s who looked very similar to his only son. After careful investigation, he found out that this little captain was actually the illegitimate son of his only son.

This young man aroused some thoughts in Prime Minister Ye. With more and more meetings, Prime Minister Ye's health became worse and worse, and the resentment that had been suppressed deep in his heart also burst out in one breath.But this kind of eruption didn't start, Gao Yatu noticed it, told Le Rong, and directly cut off the possibility of his eruption.

Yu Hai smiled and said: "Prime Minister Ye is so old, it's time to go to famous mountains and great rivers to cultivate his mind!"

Zhong Yan thought about it, and decided that for the sake of Ye Chengxiang's hard work for so many years, let Ye Chengxiang retire and leave a bloodline for the Ye family.Hearing that Yu Hai made such a decision, Zhong Yan, who had long been used to doting on the crown prince, felt that his crown prince really possessed the strength of a country.

Now that the decision has been made, Zhong Yan called the servant: "Tell me that General Zhenbei's subordinate Ye Xiaowei has a predestined relationship with Ye Chengxiang, so let Ye Xiaowei take his own son to accept Ye Xiaowei as a foster son, and Ye Xiaowei, the righteous grandson, will also be the son of Ye Xiaowei." So that Prime Minister Ye will retire to the end of his life!"

"Yes!" The servant stepped back respectfully, then gathered his hands and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to deliver the order.

Hearing the oral order, Prime Minister Ye immediately collapsed on the ground and stayed up all night. The next day, he accepted Xiaowei Ye as his grandson, and went to beg for bones.Zhong Yan didn't refuse, and directly approved his paper.

This kind of thing made Ye Chengxiang contact, and the disciples who agreed were sweating coldly, and soon Zhong Yan ushered in the peak of illness and resignation.This matter made Zhong Yan very dissatisfied, because not only was Prime Minister Ye's disciples extensive, but also because the object of allegiance of these people was actually Prime Minister Ye.

Zhong Yan was so enraged by these people that he walked around the Jiaofang Palace, and he kept saying that he regretted letting Prime Minister Ye go like this: "Do these people know what it means to be loyal to the emperor? What is the emperor's disciple? A mere prime minister is actually more respectful than the emperor." Are they worthy of allegiance?"

Lu Mengqiu saw Zhong Yan being furious with anger, and couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to him, fearing that he would lose his temper, so he quickly patted Zhong Yan's chest, and yelled at Zhong Yan with the same hatred: "It's because they don't know good and bad, Zisi just treats him as You are a cloud in the sky, how can you compare with their dung. Don't be angry, they don't make you happy, you just let them not. They have no right to make you angry !"

Under Lu Mengqiu's reassurance, Zhong Yan finally stopped being so angry. When he saw the flower viewing post on Lu Mengqiu's table, he immediately thought of Concubine Ye Gui begging him to let the second princess hold the flower viewing banquet with Le Rong. When it came to the fact that she and the second princess wanted to plot against Le Rong, Zhong Yan's original anger finally had a direction to vent: "Send a message to Concubine Ye Gui and the second princess, don't be ashamed at the flower viewing feast, copy the filial piety scriptures 30 times a day, Palace rules 10 times, learn some rules and etiquette, know some etiquette, justice and shame!"

Soon the news of Zhong Yan reprimanding Concubine Ye Gui and the Second Princess spread throughout the palace, and Le Rong, who was practicing calligraphy with Gao Yatu, couldn't help frowning.Gao Yatu felt strange and asked, "What's the matter? You don't seem to be happy?"

Le Rong put down his pen and ink, called Qingming to clean up the desk, and sat aside with tea.Regarding this result, Le Rong felt that there were advantages and disadvantages, "They were reprimanded, and Xiao Liu's character would also be implicated. But if Le Yue directly participated in the flower viewing banquet, Xiao Liu was brought up by the prince, so naturally he would not be criticized character."

Gao Yatu said helplessly: "Since Your Majesty just warned Concubine Ye Gui and Second Princess, then I don't want anyone to link the Sixth Prince with them. Everyone in the palace is not a fool, of course it is impossible for someone to criticize the Sixth Prince!"

Le Rong said even more helplessly: "However, Concubine Ye Gui asked many ladies to come to the palace to talk a while ago, and the inside and outside words have already spread the news about Le Yuehui's participation in the flower viewing banquet in a few days. Naturally, people will not neglect Xiao Liu, I am afraid that the idiots outside the palace will make my father angry again."

Even Gao Yatu has nothing to do about this kind of thing, "I really can't help it! But if His Royal Highness can bring the sixth prince with him, I think the rumors will be much smaller!"

Le Rong frowned, and was not optimistic about this proposal at all: "The key is that Xiao Liu is only 10 years old. If Xiao Liu can go out with the Prince's brother on business, will I still have such a headache? I heard that some brothers are planning to borrow Brother Yushui's mansion, help Xiao Liu to dispel the rumors, but you also know what those censors can make up if there is no good reason, so...

You said, if male guests are invited to the Flower Appreciation Banquet, how about letting the prince and the others go to receive them? "Le Rong thought of a more plausible reason, so that the censor should not find fault.

"Should I ask the empress? The flower viewing feast is about to start in 3 or 4 days. Is there not enough time?" Gao Yatu felt that this method seemed very difficult.

"I'm going to change clothes, let's pay my respects to my mother, and grab a meal!" Le Rong called Li Chun in, then changed into a blue-green palace attire, and brought Gao Yatu, Li Chun and Qingming to greet Lu Mengqiu.

Lu Mengqiu was also suffering from a headache for the flower viewing feast. If she was not careful about this matter, she might ruin the reputation of twins. She had to handle it carefully.When he heard that Le Rong came to greet her with Gao Yatu, Lu Mengqiu was also surprised: "Why did Rong Rong come here at this time? Tell them to come in!"

After greeting Lu Mengqiu, Le Rong told her and Gao Yatu about the arrangements for the flower viewing banquet: "We think that if the flower viewing banquet can be postponed to next month, the time should be enough for each family to prepare! "

Lu Mengqiu took Le Rong into his arms happily. Le Rong, who planned for Yuming like this, was more worthy of her careful teaching and worrying about her future.At this time, Zhong Yan, who was full of anger in the court, heard the words of Le Rong and Lu Mengqiu, and most of the sullenness in his chest disappeared, and he walked in with relief: "Rong Rong is really a good boy who loves his brothers, and Yatu is also a talent." A good boy with both morality and virtue!"
