Come on, Your Highness

That night, the lights were brightly lit, and a series of edicts were issued from the Qingzheng Hall.

The palace gates opened and closed, eunuchs and imperial guards came in and out without stopping.

The tense atmosphere also extended from the palace, and the people facing the street were awakened many times by the sound of galloping horseshoes.

Emperor Tiangan had made an order to prepare secretly for this battle early in the morning, and when Xiao Hong took the initiative to invite Ying Ying, he took the time even more, so he did not panic.

However, even so, after several discussions and arrangements, it was already late at night.

The auxiliary generals of the three routes and other important generals all knelt in front of the emperor and took orders in the face of danger.

"I'm waiting for you to die!"

"The prince is immature and has little experience. I hope you can give me more advice."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will swear to protect the crown prince to the death!" General Gu Xingwu said.

Emperor Tiangan nodded: "Then go."

Several generals saluted and resigned, time was running out, and after they left the palace, they had to go out of the city overnight to rectify their troops.

As soon as they left, Emperor Tiangan suddenly asked, "What time is it?"

Eunuch Huang replied: "Your Majesty, it's been three quarters of your ugliness."

"It's so late..." Emperor Tiangan was slightly surprised, and then sighed softly. Facing the ministers who stayed up all night together, he couldn't help laughing, "Tomorrow morning can't be saved, and the journey back and forth from the palace is very long. You have worked hard, so don't go back. Huang Ji, there are still two hours left to clear the side hall, let the lovers have a good rest."

Eunuch Huang said: "Your Majesty, I have ordered people to tidy it up, and added a heater to keep it warm."

"You are thoughtful, you are old, but you can't get sick, and I still count on you to give advice." Emperor Tiangan said.

The ministers quickly knelt down in gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Then Emperor Tiangan looked at his two sons: "Yi'er, Ming'er, you too, go to your respective palaces to rest."

"Yes, father, don't worry about it anymore. No matter how big the matter is, it is not as important as your body. If there is anything, I would like to ask you to share it with you." When Xiao Ming resigned, he persuaded him earnestly.

Xiao Yi also showed concern: "Yes, although my son only knows about the northern border, my father has been worried about it for many days. Please take care of yourself, and you will be in charge in the future!"

Emperor Tiangan laughed when he heard the words, these words comforted him: "I am very pleased that you have such filial piety, don't worry, I know what's in my heart, let's all go."

The two left one after the other, Xiao Ming looked back before leaving, only Xiao Hong stood still.

Xiao Ming also knew the news about the King of Zhenbei in advance. He had a group of talented people who discussed the countermeasures early in the morning, and he was able to confidently and boldly take the lead in making suggestions today.

He believed that this was also the choice of Emperor Tiangan.

He is young, but he wants to show off his ability, let the emperor know that he is no worse than Xiao Honglai.

However, the final result is always unexpected. He never thought that this eldest brother who is firmly seated as the crown prince would invite himself to go north.

Is it a joke to fight the Huns?The king of Zhenbei almost killed all his sons before keeping his deadly enemy out of the border!

Could it be that his elder brother really thought that he was protected by dragon energy, making him invulnerable?

So ridiculous and so arrogant!

Manchu civil and military, why put yourself in danger?

What's more, apart from the ferocious enemy bandits, today's northern Xinjiang climate is unimaginably cold and harsh!The punishment of exile for thousands of miles is in that bitter cold place, how many people can't survive just traveling, let alone marching in a hurry!

The pampered prince felt shy just thinking about it.

Xiao Ming knew that if it was him, he would never take orders presumptuously, nor would he have the guts to do so!

But no matter how many excuses he gave himself in his heart, he still had to admit in his heart that apart from age and background, there were other gaps between him and Xiao Hong.

He really can't match that bravery!

But I always feel unsatisfied...

Xiao Ming's steps out of the main hall of the Qing Dynasty stopped, and Xiao Yi felt it in front of him. He turned his head and looked at him, and said coldly: "Don't you think it's too late to ask for orders now? Eldest brother is the prince, go to stabilize the morale of the army, Deter the Huns, what else can you do if you remove the chaos?"

Xiao Ming was not annoyed when he was told about the central matter, he just smiled: "My younger brother hasn't said anything yet, but the second brother is impatient. If you have this idea, then go to the father and talk about it, anyway, it's a heartfelt wish."

When Xiao Yi heard this, his face immediately turned cold.

What Xiao Ming thought was not his.

Xiao Ming stabbed him, and smirked slightly in his heart: "Let's go, the matter has been settled, let's go back to the palace to rest, why don't we go along the way?"

Although the palace has been opened, Gyeongbokgung Palace and Gyeongnyeonggung Palace are still preserved.

"also."

But just as he was talking, two teams of palace people came up ahead, they were from Fanghua Palace and Zhongcui Palace.

They each carried a food box and thick clothes in their hands, which shows that the imperial concubine and Lan Fei in the harem are always paying attention to this place.

In the Qingzheng Hall, the servant general added silver charcoal to the charcoal basin.

Emperor Tiangan rubbed his brows and sat down, looked at Xiao Hong and asked, "Aren't you going back to rest?"

Xiao Hong said, "Father, I can't sleep."

"Fear?"

Xiao Hong thought for a while, and said honestly, "I'm a little nervous."

Emperor Tiangan chuckled lightly when he heard the words, but after laughing, his eyes showed distress: "But you regret it?"

Xiao Hong grinned and shook his head: "No way, my son asked for it by himself, what regrets, no one slapped his face." After he finished speaking, he looked at the tiredness on Emperor Tiangan's face and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to rest?"

"I can't sleep either. I should be quite happy about Danyang's big wedding today, but I didn't expect..." If you don't want to be a faint king, being an emperor must be a lot of worry. When things get tricky, sleepless nights are the norm.

The emperor's complexion is not good recently, which is caused by insomnia.

Xiao Hong didn't have a good solution, he didn't say much about the time before the morning court, so he said: "Father, if you can't sleep, why don't we get something to eat?"

"You are hungry?"

"Well, I didn't eat much at the wedding banquet, and it was empty for a long time." After finishing speaking, Xiao Hong's stomach gurgled. It was especially appropriate for the occasion, and he said without shame, "Look, I protested."

Emperor Tiangan suddenly burst into laughter, and turned around to tell Eunuch Huang: "Let the imperial dining room do it quickly, and don't starve our prince."

Xiao Hong started laughing, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he stopped and said, "Oh, don't..."

"What?" Emperor Tiangan looked at him puzzled.

"Don't worry, I can hold on for a while, but... my son suddenly remembered that next year, I'm afraid I won't be able to spend your birthday with you, so why don't I make you a bowl of noodles in advance? Starting tomorrow, I won't have this free time gone."

The chef of the imperial dining room huddled behind the stove to start a fire anxiously, wanting to cut off his ears and poke his eyes blind.

Because in addition to the prince who is not very particular and comes to cook every year, His Majesty the emperor also came to this small kitchen!

Immediately, it was full of brilliance, and it was so bright that it was going to shorten your life!

Seeing his trembling appearance, Eunuch Huang had to light the fire twice before it lit up, and couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

Emperor Tiangan came here for the first time, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with his hands behind his back, he glanced around the kitchen before standing beside Xiao Hong, watching his movements.

This lord is the real ten-finger sticking to the spring water. It is rare that he does not dislike the lingering smell of oily smoke here, and can still stay.

Eunuch Huang brought a chair over and asked the emperor to sit down.

Xiao Hong's first time is raw and second time is familiar, once a year, no matter how stupid people are, they can improve their skills.

Because of impromptu, there was no reconciliation in the kitchen, so he had to come by himself.

"Anyway, it's still a long time before the morning court, so just wait a little while, let's chat and we'll be fine soon."

Emperor Tiangan had no objection, he was actually not hungry, unlike Xiao Hong who didn't have enough to eat and his body grew rapidly.

It is a rare opportunity to see his son in charge of cooking. To be honest, this experience is quite novel for him.

In the harem, there are too many concubines who claim to make soup and porridge for him by themselves, but there are not many concubines who actually do everything from ingredients to stew by themselves.

At home, they are all delicate ladies. Where will they be contaminated with fireworks? Mostly, put some seasonings at the end, sprinkle a handful of green onions, and put the cup and bowl into the food box, and it will become your own.

There is no one like Xiao Hong who takes off his python robe, puts on an apron, rolls up his sleeves, and directly kneads noodles vigorously with his hands, and he is quite decent.

"Hong'er, I am convinced now that all the noodles I ate in the past were made by yourself."

"That's right, my son is not playful, whether it is delicious or not is another matter, you must be satisfied!" He held up the dough in the basin to show the emperor, "Look, it's so flexible, it's full of strength, and it's full of dough. Your filial piety, are you moved?"

That must be touching.

Although Emperor Tiangan didn't say anything, the smile in his eyes flowed out from his eyes.

"People say that governing a country is like cooking. When should be what heat, what ingredients should be added, and what container should be used. I think it is very reasonable. Father, what do you think?" Xiao Hong put a ball of white flour He fell on the table, picked up the knife and cut out a piece, shaking it in his hand.

What you said is quite right, but it is a bit inconsistent to put it on Xiao Hong. Emperor Tiangan asked: "So you are very proficient in cooking, so what else can you do besides noodles?"

"That won't work." Xiao Hong didn't feel embarrassed at all, "I'm learning to govern the country, so I don't have the energy to be a cook. It takes years of practice, so I can't take the job of the imperial kitchen, right? ? It’s just that I’ve seen a lot, so I’m expressing my feelings.”

The noodles that Xiao Hong throws out now are no longer thick and thin. At first glance, they are quite uniform.

Practice makes perfect from him to the fullest.

Xiao Hong focused his eyes on the pot, and said casually: "The water is boiling, Dad, find some vegetables for me, by the way, and two more eggs."

The head chef of the imperial dining room slammed his jaw on the ground in an instant, and the prince was too bold to summon the emperor.

However, hearing the sound of footsteps, I didn't expect the emperor to really get up, and seemed to turn around and asked, "Where are the eggs and vegetables?"

All the waiters in the kitchen had been dispatched, and the chef was about to get up when he heard Xiao Hong say, "It's on the vegetable shelf in the left corner next door, the eggs are usually on top, and the vegetables are on the bottom, look carefully. "

The chef swallowed his saliva, turned around, and saw that Eunuch Huang seemed to be alone, without moving his footsteps, he couldn't help but said: "Eunuch..."

"Ok?"

Won't you do me a favor?Or let the servants go, the chef's eyes showed this meaning.

Eunuch Huang squinted and said, "Anxin will make you angry, shut up and don't disturb the master's interest."

Xiao Hong waited for a long time, and the noodles were almost familiar. Before Emperor Tiangan came back, he hurriedly turned to the next door, and saw the emperor bent over, still with his hands behind his back, facing a row of vegetables in a state of contemplation as if enjoying the scenery. .

"What are you looking at?"

"Hong'er, you said there are so many vegetables, which ones are green vegetables?"

"Isn't this shiny green one the real thing?" Xiao Hong said, pulling out two pieces.

"Really? Isn't it also green over there, what's it called?" Emperor Tiangan pointed to the side, a little bigger, and asked in a similar shape.

"..." Xiao Hong twitched the corners of his mouth, "You don't care what it is, anyway, I want this kind of thing. Oh, let's not talk, the dough is going to be mushy!"

He took the vegetables and eggs and hurried back to the kitchen, washed them in the basin twice, and threw the leaves of the vegetables into the pot.

Emperor Tiangan strolled over unhurriedly, seeing Xiao Hong's flustered look, he couldn't help teasing: "Hong'er, don't you know?"

"I don't know if this is normal, my son is not a cook." Xiao Hong replied very confidently, and cracked two eggs into it.

Emperor Tiangan smiled softly, thinking that his son's messy appearance was very interesting.
