Emperor Tongue [Rebirth]

Liao Xiaofu kept his hands down all the way, and happened to bump into Master just as he entered the gate of the Prince's Hall.When Chen Baishuang saw that the eldest prince and the third prince were there, she quickly called the attendants out and knelt on the ground, and then was welcomed into the main hall by the maid.Although the eldest prince said that he had never looked at his apprentice directly since he entered the palace, Chen Baishuang always felt that the third prince looked at Xiao Fuzi with dark eyes, like black iron guillotines.Therefore, as soon as he picked up the errands in the main hall, he sent Liao Xiaofu to the back kitchen to help with some things.

This was in line with Xiao Fuzi's wish. After all, he was not able to listen to the chatter of the princes alone, so he was quiet and at ease, and trotted all the way into the firewood room.The firewood in the firewood room is stacked in several compartments according to the grade. The outermost ones are fish scales. After being burned, the firewood peels off like koi scales. The smoke is very strong and the fire is too hot. insufficient.This is a defective product used by the servants when they open their meals.

The next small compartment is red mud. After burning, the wood looks red like a red sun, which is very beautiful, and the ash produced by this kind of wood is like a handful of red clay. Not wasted.This is not something that can be put into the stove. If red mud is used for fire, white smoke will be produced from the cage, and it is impossible to remove it.This is a good material for the prince and his favored female relatives to boil water and wash their faces. In three or nine days, only a small handful can heat the wooden basin for an hour.

The wood for the prince's cooking stove still needs to go in, and that's where Xiao Fuzi rushed.Each piece of silver wire is stacked neatly, like a room full of inkstones.This silver thread is extremely rare, it is only used by the master in the palace, the flames occasionally turn blue, the master told him that the flame core can burn gold.Liao Xiaofu didn't believe this, he was afraid he was trying to fool him.If all the gold has melted, wouldn't the iron pot on the stove be turned into a pot of molten iron long ago?

Little Fuzi picked the wood carefully, not sure what to do, and was very nervous about making food for the prince for the first time.The ashes from the burning of the silver wire materials are all from Bai Cen Cen, which splits along the wooden board into filaments like dragon beard noodles, which can steam through even the five-story cages, let alone those that take a lot of heat. Meat.The most rare thing is that the stove has no smoky smell of oily smoke.

Liao Xiaofu picked out the wood and carried it to the kitchen.The water dragon and the stove are as busy as porridge, but they are orderly and proper.Most of the cooks were from the north, and one was invited from Shuzhou by Tete, who made good use of sesame oil and chili peppers, and was cutting a piece of white meat at this moment.On the chopping board are more than a dozen big and plump white jade shrimps, the water is shining through the bows of the shrimps.

Xiao Fuzi was small, standing next to a group of women, he was even less noticeable, holding the wood and looking around, no one came to ask him, when he turned around, he saw Yu'er coming in, so he hurried over.

"This is where people are grilled with firewood. Why did Miss Yu'er come here?" Liao Xiaofu just opened his mouth, and the deepest stove began to fry oil. The oily smell of gluttonous insects.Worried that he couldn't hear himself clearly, Xiao Fuzi raised his voice again and said, "Sister, can I ask a mother-in-law to make fish cakes for Your Highness? Your Highness said she wants to eat them."

"Fish cakes?" Yu'er hastily called the rough envoy's maid to take the wood from Liao Xiaofu's arms. The rough envoy's maids are all tall and strong women with thick palms, a head taller than Xiao Fuzi, so naturally it doesn't matter Down.Yu'er felt sorry for this young man who had just gone to a sister, and was willing to love him. She stretched out a silk handkerchief from her cuff and carefully wiped off the ashes on his chest, complaining: "This kind of work makes the rough Just do what you want, how can you hold the job if your gown is dirty? What kind of fresh pancakes were you talking about just now?"

Liao Xiaofu raised her face and Ren Yuer wiped it for him, and hurriedly told sister's cooking recipe.Yu'er pursed her lips for a moment of joy, pinned a few strands of hair protruding from the brim of her hat for him, and said, "What am I supposed to do? Then what is it called fish cake? It's called fish cake in the palace. It's your sister's business." Don't be too sad, the future will be fine, and the elder sister will be happy to see it in the sky. It's just... Your Highness has never liked fish since he was a child, and he rarely eats fish. Now, my son wants to eat fish, I'm afraid it's to satisfy your hunger .”

"This...it turns out that His Highness doesn't like fish, and it's because Xiao Fuzi didn't take good care of him. I don't even know." Liao Xiaofu was distracted at the moment, with a look of guilt on his face, but bursting with joy in his heart, he was busy again. Said: "Since His Highness doesn't like to eat, then let it go, so as not to be annoying and disappoint..."

"How can it be, the prince is kind and loves you, and he also specially told me to pay attention to your favorite food, and send more to your eyes every day." Naturally, Yu'er didn't know that she had sold the prince to the sky. , his face blushed suddenly, and he whispered in Xiaofuzi's ear: "Little Fuzi, can your Highness say that Mr. Su will come to accompany you today? Just now His Highness ordered me to preach pastries, saying that he wanted Mr. Su to try something new."

Lord Su?Liao Xiaofu didn't remember this person's face for a while, but he only remembered that he was cold and arrogant, and his speech seemed to be cold, cold and pressing, but he really deserved the name, Su Qingsong, really with the court A green pine that is out of place.

"Lord Su? Your Highness didn't say this, so could it be that your lord has come?" Liao Xiaofu shuddered, as if he had sensed the chilly aura before seeing him.

Yu'er rolled up the silk handkerchief with her fingers, and inserted a pink jade-faced nut spirit jade hairpin into her hair, she nodded and said nothing.Liao Xiaofu seldom saw Sister Yu'er dressed like this, and his heart tightened, fearing that he understood something.

"I just asked, I was talking too much. Master Su and His Highness have always been on good terms and have close contacts. How can a servant find out about it. His Highness said that he asked the cook to make dishes with jade, and if he wanted to come to Master Su to taste something new, he would also Use more." Having said this, Yu'er turned around and went into the small kitchen, ordering the cook to add a dish of fish cakes, and then make desserts according to the pattern last time.

Liao Xiaofu looked at the red hairpin on Sister Yu'er's head, thinking that she had won a reward and never used it, Tete only wore it today.It turned out that I had the same heart as myself, and I admired a noble person that I shouldn't think about, so the suffering in it was even more sympathetic.But after thinking about it again, the prince came out of the table in the Grand Master's Mansion to taste the jade fragrance, and he blamed himself for not living up to expectations, so he didn't eat a single bite that day.

Thinking about it this way, I really... envy Master Su, who can accompany the crown prince into the south study, and accompany His Highness from writing notes to studying the art of war.To be missed by the crown prince, I really envy others.In the past, I couldn't even talk to the prince, and I was just envious when I was in love. It was like keeping a seedling that could produce Ganoderma lucidum in my heart, and being able to guard it was enough to kill endless time.Now that the crown prince values ​​him, Liao Xiaofu suddenly realizes that the seedling has grown branches, and that his father-in-law has also learned to be dissatisfied, what a joke.

Many years later, this moment of bitterness has left a mark in Liao Xiaofu's heart.Whenever Qi Mo, who is already the king of a country, teases and asks him when he is most emotional, he always thinks of this chaotic noon.Sister Yu'er wore a red hairpin on her head, twisted the silk and told her mother-in-law to choose materials carefully.In the wind, the oily pips after the meat was put into the pot were fragrant, and he waited in a daze to pass the dishes forward, as if there was a freshly picked green plum in his mouth, sour to the tip of his heart.

The Prince's Hall was always quite deserted, but now it was quite lively, and the hall was full of serving servants.Not long after the First Prince sat down, an announcing attendant from outside the palace ran in quickly, knelt down from a distance, and sang: "His Royal Highness, Lord Su is here!" At the gate of the front hall, after standing still, it was obvious that they were unaware of the visit of the two princes, and hurriedly saluted: "Chen Su Qingsong, I have seen the first prince, I have seen the third prince!"

"You're here. If you don't come, I'm afraid I won't be able to invite you anymore." Qi Mo hurriedly excused him, and he couldn't see his own people bowing to others.The eldest prince Qi Gu also excused himself, Su Qingsong also stood up to thank him.The crown prince sits at the top, the first prince sits at the left and the third prince sits at the left.Su Qingsong then walked to the right, found a suitable place and sat down slowly.

"The ancestors of the Chongyang Houfu are indeed heroes and heroes. Fifth brother, you see that most of the companions of the imperial brothers are talents in the Imperial Academy, but you have a good eye since you were young. Mr. Su is good at literature and martial arts, and you must be the first among the companions in the palace." " Qi Gu glanced around and said, and drank the small wine in the glass in one gulp.

"The eldest prince is too famous, and the servants are in a state of panic. They can't bear the title of Mr. Su. Please also call the eldest prince by Qingsong's name directly. The way of a monarch and a minister cannot be surpassed." Su Qingsong looked at the young man who served him, and the young man immediately held The flagon filled the jade cup on Master Su's table, Su Qingsong held the wine and saluted again, "I respect Su Qingsong first!"

"Okay! Master Su is a good drinker!" The third prince Qi Shang praised, and drank the wine in one gulp, "Master Su thought he could afford it, but I didn't expect my fifth younger brother to read history books with me, and my temper is also not good enough." So bold and joyful!"

Qi Mo held the jade brewing cup in his hand and played with it, spilling a drop from time to time, then changed the subject and said, "Although this wine is good, you should drink it slowly. Just now, where did the eldest brother talk about Xifan? Fifth brother's eyes and ears are closed." , I didn’t know that the envoys from Xifan were coming, so I asked Brother Da Huang to remind me more.”

Qi Guman replied casually, with no expression on his face. He didn't feel that the fifth brother was ignorant, and said with a smile: "The desert in the west has not rained for years, and the nomadic people are not as good at farming as my Dazhao people, so they frequently provoke the border The war has hurt many of my people. This show of favor came suddenly, and my father never revealed it to me. The Sacred Heart is hard to guess, and we can discuss this in private. It's just that the elder brother has always been dull, and he has no opinion in his heart. Third brother, How do you feel about this?"

Qi Shang accepted the hot words, frowned and said: "I'm afraid the third brother can't guess, I just heard that I am going to the army to suppress Xiguan. The riders on the Xiguan are all sturdy men, who can kill but not hand over, so they fight hard There was no result for a long time. This time, Xifan withdrew troops suddenly, and submitted a letter of surrender, willing to exchange five cities for a currency station, and the envoys would personally drive chariots and horses to come to Dazhao without hesitation, and the third brother boldly guessed that it might be a marriage."

"Marriage?" Su Qingsong asked anxiously, "Third Prince, please tell me, did Xi Fan reveal who came here besides the envoys? Is there a reserve?" The princess at the right age is only the daughter of little concubine Yu, I'm afraid her status is not noble enough, if she really wants to get married, wouldn't the little sister have to go into the tiger's mouth again?

Qi Mo stretched out his hand to persuade him not to worry, and burst out laughing.The third prince might have come prepared, so he cheated Qingsong.The matter of the marriage has been clarified, so can you still not figure out that the person who came here this time is a princess?Su Qingsong of Chongyang Marquis Mansion cherishes his little sister, but no one knows that she is really the one who bullies him.

"Qingsong, don't panic, Brother Sanhuang only guesses one or two. Now that your sister is favored by the imperial grandmother, I am afraid that she is eager to get married, and my grandmother will keep her for a few more years. If it is not for the courtier who is personally spotted by the queen mother, Don't say that he is a successor of Xifan, I am afraid that the prince is not so lucky." Qi Mo relieved the solemnity in the hall with one sentence, and Su Qingsong's complexion gradually eased, and he punished himself with a glass of wine.

"It was the minister who was reckless, and this cup should be punished."

The eldest prince teased him by pointing at the table, and said: "Lingmei is protected by a brother like you, I'm afraid that brother-in-law will be sad in the future. The wine is very good, but there are some delicacies missing. Fifth brother is not good enough. Do you still ask the emperor to fill you with water when you serve the wine?"

"How dare I make the emperor starve, I have already ordered meals. Eunuch Chen can announce the feast in due time." Qi Mo turned his head and ordered Chen Baishuang, and Chen Baishuang stepped down the first jade steps and sang: "Pass the meal to the Prince's Palace!"

After finishing speaking, I saw countless maidservants and young men with pretty faces rushing in like a fish, the figures were crowded, and all kinds of delicacies were put on the table one after another.The best pork knuckles are made into silk-wrapped Yunmeng meat and warmed in a soup pot, served with asparagus to relieve greasy.The urnware is specially used for health-preserving medicinal food. When it is opened, it turns out to be baby chicken stewed with caterpillar fungus. The soup is clear and fragrant, and it is perfect for warming and nourishing in midsummer.Not to mention all kinds of small dishes and small bowls, the porridge alone has meat and vegetables, the diced duck white rice porridge is oily and soft, the rice grains are all covered with meat, and the cooked diced meat soaked in plum sauce can be seen faintly.Another bowl of porridge with lotus seeds and red dates is sweet and palatable. Jinrong jujubes are stuffed with osmanthus antlers. The red rice porridge is like a layer of bright golden honey.

Qi Mo picked up the spoon, put it down, tasted the ginkgo lily shrimp, and asked Chen Baishuang to pick a piece of fish cake for himself, put it on the plate and laughed to himself, isn't this fish cake?When I saw this dish, I asked Yu'er to take it away. It turned out that the little thing loved it, and I will ask the cook to cook it a few more times a month.Just eating in his mouth, the prince's heart was empty, the little servant must have tried the dishes for himself in the kitchen, I don't know if the servant can get used to eating.I am used to having Liao Xiaofu to accompany me to eat, so I must not see this meal, it is really tasteless.

Thinking of Qi Mo looking towards the front hall, his heart became anxious, and he glared at Chen Baishuang angrily.He also thought that Chen Baishuang knew how to measure, how could the eldest prince ask Xiao Fuzi to show his face when he was having lunch in the hall!

Chen Baishuang was serving dishes for the crown prince himself, and he panicked when His Highness glared at him suddenly, and even thought he had picked something that His Highness taboos by chance, and he was shocked when he looked up again!How could I tell Yu'er that something went wrong with that girl?My foolish apprentice came in with a box of snacks.

The author has something to say:

Liao Xiaofu: Your Highness said that this dessert is for me to taste, and I cannot ask others to eat it first...

Su Qingsong: Hey, Your Highness, why is there a piece of dim sum missing from my dish?

Qi Mo: You ask Gu, how does Gu know... Hmph. (Gives a guilty glance at the corner of Xiaofuzi's scumbag mouth)
