I was a prince in ancient times

Xie Anlan went back to the room, closed the door tightly, and Lu Chengjie and Lu Chengjia looked at the red hot peppers on the table, and remained silent for a while.

Lu Chengjie picked up a slender red pepper and looked at it for a long time, "What is this?"

Xie Anlan replied, "Chili."

Just hearing the name, Lu Chengjia raised his eyebrows, "A spicy condiment."

"Yes." Xie Anlan nodded.

Lu Chengjie thought for a while, and brought a corner of the little red pepper to his lips, ready to taste it.

"Don't eat it, it's too spicy." Xie Anlan hurriedly stopped him.

The chili seeds in the system are too expensive, so he can't buy too many chili peppers. He bought some chili peppers because they are not expensive, so he can eat them and save the chili seeds for seeds.

Xie Anlan carefully used scissors to cut open the small red pepper with long thin fingers, leaving the seeds inside.

Seven or eight peppers, a small plate of pepper seeds, if the survival rate is high, a lot of peppers can be grown.

This body has never been in contact with spicy things like peppers. When cutting the peppers, a lot of juice splashed on the hands, which was hot and uncomfortable.

In such a short time, the small area on the table was filled with a faint pungent smell.

Lu Chengjie frowned, took a moment to get used to it, and asked eagerly with interest in his eyes, "Is it ready to eat now?"

"It's raw, very spicy, and very choking."

Xie Anlan refused a little. Lu Chengjia only heard that it was edible, so he picked up a small one and took a bite.

Immediately, the tip of the tongue seemed to be on fire, numb, and scalding hot.

Xie Anlan saw that Lu Chengjiao was chewing the pepper expressionlessly, and asked curiously, "Isn't it spicy?"

"It's okay." Lu Chengjia said lightly.

"Maybe the one I bought wasn't spicy enough." Xie Anlan said, and followed Lu Chengji's example to pick a pepper that was not too big or too small, and took a light bite.

Suddenly...

It was so hot that his face was flushed, and he jumped up from his chair, shouting, "It's so spicy, so spicy."

While yelling, he poured himself a glass of water in a hurry, and drank dozens of mouthfuls before he managed to suppress the spicy feeling.

The sideburns were already sweating, and there was still a burning pain on the tip of the tongue.

Seeing Xie Anlan's embarrassed look, Lu Chengjie couldn't help laughing, so he made himself a cup of tea in a hurry, and echoed him, "Well, it's really spicy."

If it weren't for Lu Chengjie's eagerness to drink water, Xie Anlan would have been fooled by him.

"...You lied to me." Xie Anlan completely convinced him, in order to deceive him, she could endure all the hotness like a normal person.

Lu Chengjie smiled, and drank two or three cups of water to relieve the hot feeling in his mouth, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, "Although it is very spicy, eat a little in this winter, from head to toe The feet and the whole body are warm, if they can be planted, Yongchao can not only produce more plants, but also have more things to keep out the cold."

Lu Chengjie couldn't help but think that in the freezing northwest, if there were cotton on the outside to keep out the cold and peppers on the inside to keep out the cold, the soldiers guarding the border would be much better off under such difficult conditions.

"It can do more than that." Xie Anlan raised her phoenix eyes with a little pride, "It can also expel moisture from people's bodies. There are many miasmas in Lingnan, which makes the environment very cold and humid. In winter, it is even colder than our ice and snow place." The north is still bitterly cold, with this product, it can relieve their suffering of enduring miasma all year round."

Lu Chengjie thought of the shocking pickle jar in the warehouse, and he understood, "It turns out that His Highness is for them."

Xie Anlan didn't have a heart of compassion, he seldom took the initiative to do anything for the people of this dynasty, all he did was to make money.

But, this time is different.

This time, he wanted to take the initiative to do something for those cute and stupid people to repay their gratitude.

"I just don't know how to promote this pepper." Xie Anlan frowned slightly.

It can't be said that he also discovered cotton, and he also discovered pepper.

How come all the good things in the world come from him.

"Your Highness, don't forget that you still have Chen Gui." As soon as Xie Anlan frowned, Lu Chengjia knew what he was thinking, and quickly gave a hint.

Chen Gui has been completely forgotten by him since they came back from Yicheng.

At the beginning, he hesitated not to save Lu Chengjiao, but after all, Xie Anlan still had a lump in his heart.

After he came back, he didn't go back to the palace either, he was always an invisible poison tester in the palace.

He also knew that he had fallen out of favor in front of the lord, and he usually didn't approach others. If Lu Chengjiao hadn't mentioned it today, Xie Anlan would have almost forgotten about this character.

"How could I have forgotten him?" Xie Anlan smiled.

"By the way, he gave me these cotton seeds, and he also gave me these pepper seeds. I don't know anything. If you want to ask where these seeds come from, go to Chen Gui." Xie Anlan lowered her head and said to herself Hypnotically speaking.

Lu Chengjie blinked at Xie Anlan, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

With chili, Xie Anlan did not treat herself badly, and tried to pickle a jar of pickles with chili, saving it for the New Year.

"...Chen Gui."

After pickling the spicy pickles, Xie Anlan caught an invisible man in the kitchen and looked at him with a smile.

"My lord." Suddenly being summoned by the lord, Chen Gui felt a little panicked, not knowing what the lord was talking about.

He knew that he had offended the prince in Yicheng, and he would not be able to go back to the palace. Anyway, he is getting old now, so he wants to spend his life in the palace, and he can still eat the delicious food cooked by Chef Chaolu every day. He is also satisfied if he is not liked by the prince.

"It's okay." Seeing his fear and fear, Xie Anlan patted him on the shoulder to reassure him, "It's just freezing cold, and I suddenly remembered that you have made great achievements in finding cotton seeds. I don't know what you want reward."

"Cotton seeds?" Chen Gui stayed in the back kitchen and didn't go anywhere since he came back. There are not many masters in the palace, and the back kitchen is not busy, but he doesn't like to inquire about gossip, and he is very unfamiliar with cotton.

"As for the hundreds of horse-drawn carriages brought back from Yicheng a few months ago, they are all thanks to you." Xie Anlan explained to him patiently.

When Xie Anlan said this, Chen Gui remembered, raised his confused face, and frowned deeply, "Are those things planted from the seeds I found?"

"Yes." Xie Anlan nodded affirmatively, "I didn't take care of you a few days ago, so I've been free recently..."

Xie Anlan clicked to stop.

Chen Gui didn't dare to let the prince say sorry words to him, so he quickly bowed, "It's the duty of this old slave to serve the prince, so don't let the prince bully the old slave."

Xie Anlan, "The reward..."

"It's already a great gift for the prince to let the old slave stay in the palace. The old slave is satisfied." Chen Gui was still confused about the matter of cotton, so he dared to ask for any reward.

"Okay." Seeing that he insisted on not rewarding him, Xie Anlan didn't force her, "But I think you're a waste of talent if you stay in the back kitchen. Why don't you continue to look for seeds for me? I think you're quite talented. If you find some more seeds like cotton, you will definitely be rewarded."

"..." To be honest, Chen Gui didn't want to agree. He was very happy in the back kitchen. He ate and drank well every day, and he didn't have any troubles.

Go outside to look for seeds. If you are lucky, you will find useful seeds. If you are unlucky, all you find are useless seeds, which is thankless.

But, the lord has already said so, can he not agree.

Chen Gui bowed, "I would like to do my best for the prince."

"Very good." Xie Anlan patted him on the shoulder again, fearing that he would be burdened, and specifically said a few words, "I also know that it is not easy to find seeds like cotton again. Take it easy, just like When I was in Yicheng, I would do that. If you like to stay in the back kitchen, you can stay in the back kitchen. If you have no money, you can go to the cashier to pay. You just need to hand in a batch of strange seeds to me every other day. "

Chen Gui had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

The people of the Yong Dynasty learned that Princess Chen's murder by the crazy horse was done by Princess Proton from the Grassland Department, and they were filled with righteous indignation.

I have to ask the Grassland Department to give an explanation.

The attitudes of Chaotang and Fu Zheng were also firm.

People's grievances and national grievances piled up together, and it was the agreement between the two countries that the Ministry of Grassland broke first.

If it was the past, why would they be so aggrieved, just go to war if they refuse to accept it, and give them an explanation, what an explanation.

But not now.

The people of Yongchao have gunpowder and other sharp weapons to help them, and they have formed an alliance with Xueguo, so they are no longer the bastards who were allowed to be bullied by them before.

"Father Khan, let my sister come back." The eldest prince Meng Hewu said abruptly while sitting at the bottom.

"It's easy to say, if your sister did such a thing, can the Yongchao people let her go easily?" Meng Hewei took a sip of bitter wine, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the wine in his mouth couldn't be swallowed no matter what, Had to spit it out.

If it wasn't for Meng Heyou's sudden stupidity to do such a thing that the people of Yongchao could take advantage of, why should their Grassland Department suffer from today's anger.

"Let's give up all the cities we occupied in the Yong Dynasty, and exchange our younger sister." Meng Hewu said with red eyes.

"Brother, you are crazy. Give up those cities, and it may be even more difficult to come back in the future." Meng Heduo stood up abruptly, and looked at Meng Hewu with disbelief.

"How long do you think we can occupy these cities now? The Yongchao people now have gunpowder and other sharp weapons in their hands. Before long, they will show their fangs and regain their mountains and rivers." Meng He Wu closed his eyes to hide the unwillingness in his eyes, "Instead of letting them take it, it's better to return the city to them. They want to restore the vitality of those cities, and they can't do it in ten or eight years. Isn't eight years enough for us to prepare?"

Great Khan Meng Hewei of the Grassland Department fell silent.

"Bring back my younger sister and marry her into the depths of the grassland. The people of the Yong Dynasty can marry the Snow Country, and our grassland department can also seek foreign aid." Meng Hewu opened his eyes and said resolutely.

"The people of the Yong Dynasty regained their own city, and they will not care about our grassland department for a while. Although the Yong Dynasty is prosperous, the grassland is also vast." Meng Hewu looked at Meng Hewei resolutely after speaking.

Meng Hewei heard the meaning of his eldest son.

But deep down in his heart, he was still a little unwilling.

Just give up the city he had worked so hard to build?

"Father Khan's strong man cut off his wrists!" Meng Hewu was not reconciled in his heart, but so what if he was not reconciled, now people are for knives and they are for fish, so it is impossible not to cut the flesh.

Meng Hewei was silent for a long time, and after a long time he said quietly, "Then do as you say."

"Just don't let me down like that idiot of your third brother!" When Meng Heming was mentioned, Meng Hewei felt pain in his chest again.

The saddle made of cloth by that idiot last time not only did not work on the battlefield, but it also dragged down the cavalry of their grassland department, causing them to miss a good opportunity and be defeated by the Yongchao people.

What a shame!

"Father Khan will definitely not be disappointed!" Meng Hewu stood up, punched his chest, and swore an oath.

The Grassland Ministry's concession did not mean that the Yong Dynasty would give in. The Yong Dynasty's envoy took five thousand horses from the Grassland Ministry under the pretext that Princess Chen's life was at stake, and the two sides just let it go.

When the news came back to the imperial capital, it was just a young year, and Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjiao were trying to eat fresh chilli pickles.

The salty and spicy taste was very appetizing, and the two of them were sweating profusely while eating rice.

Xie Anlan was in a daze for a while when she heard that her fief had been taken back.

"Your Highness..." Lu Chengjiao pushed Xie Anlan's arm.

Xie Anlan regained her senses, put down the bowl and chopsticks, hugged the person in front of her sideways, and buried her head on his shoulder and neck, "That's great."

"What?" Lu Chengjia was confused for a moment.

"It's great that you can see your family now that my fief is back." Xie Anlan sighed again with her eyes closed.

clack.

The chopsticks in Lu Chengjia's hands fell to the ground.

An empty heart was suddenly filled.

"You... still remember." Lu Chengjiao looked sideways at Xie Anlan's face buried on his shoulder, wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.

Xie Anlan grunted, came out of Lu Chengjia's arms, and bowed to pick up the chopsticks on the ground for him.

Lu Chengjie took another pair of chopsticks and came over, took a deep breath, "Continue to eat."

"Don't you want to take a look?" Xie Anlan asked.

"I don't know if I can still find the original land." Lu Chengjie's eyes darkened. Back then, he was only a ** year old child. It was not an easy task to bury the whole family. He did everything very well. Perfunctory.

Now that place has been destroyed by the Grassland Department for ten years, and no one can tell whether it is still there or not.

Xie Anlan affirmed, "It must still be there. I'll send someone to look for it. If we find it, let's go worship together, okay?"

"Okay." Lu Chengjiao nodded, mist gathered in his eyes, but his face was full of smiles.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you can't find it." Lu Chengjie stuffed a section of chili pepper into his mouth, forcing himself not to cry, "Their graves live in my heart, it doesn't matter if I have them or not."

After finishing speaking, Lu Chengjie felt something was wrong again, and when he looked up, he saw Xie Anlan's slightly sour face.

"They are in my heart, and you are by my side."

Lu Chengjiao held Xie Anlan's hand, and thousands of stars shone in his clear eyes, "From now on, you will be the only one in my family."

"I only have you." Xie Anlan felt extremely satisfied.

After comforting Xie Anlan, Lu Chengjia continued to eat with his chopsticks.

Xie Anlan saw that he had a special liking for chili peppers, so she couldn't help reminding, "Today, Xiaonian, eat less."

"Why?" Lu Chengjiao was puzzled.

Xie Anlan pursed her lips, and her eyes slid slightly on his body line, but in the end she didn't say anything, forget it, as long as he is happy.

All the cities of the Yong Dynasty were lost and recovered. As soon as the news came out, the haze in the hearts of the people in the imperial capital finally eased.

They shouted with joy at the top of their voices, they ran wildly in the street, they beat gongs and drums and rushed to tell.

For a moment, some old people seemed to have returned to the time when the Yong Dynasty was at its peak. At that time, the people in the imperial capital were as happy as they are today.

Without the iron hooves of the grassland people, the imperial capital Wanbang came to congratulate, and the money was drunk.

How beautiful.

Meng Heyou sat on an inconspicuous carriage, looking back at the bustling city that was having a carnival, bit his lips, and lowered the curtain of the carriage without any attachment.

In the end, she failed to complete the task her brother gave her.

I don't know what will be waiting for her when she goes back.

Thinking back when she came domineeringly, but now she has to go back in despair, she is really unwilling, but there is nothing she can do.

Sometimes life is like this, if you take one wrong step, you will fall into the abyss of eternal calamity.

Meng Heyou took out the two silk handkerchiefs from his arms and threw them out of the car window.

If it weren't for these two silk handkerchiefs, maybe she wouldn't be in such a situation today.

After Meng Heyou finished throwing away his things, as if he had thrown away all his baggage, he said lightly, "Let's go."

The carriage passed through the noisy and crowded crowd, left the imperial capital, and headed towards the endless mountains.

During the Chinese New Year, there was such a big happy event again, Xie Anlan was very happy to hear the cheering people outside, and asked people to bring out a lot of fireworks, which were set off for most of the night.

It made the already noisy imperial capital even more noisy and prosperous at night.

Because of Lu Chengji's "serious illness", Xie Anlan was also inconvenient to go to the palace for the New Year's Eve dinner.

The two of them set up a meal in the house.

Although there are many people in the Prince Chen's Mansion, the serious owners are only the two of them, so this year, it still feels a little deserted.

"Your Highness has been wronged, and I have spent two deserted years with me." Lu Chengjie darkened his eyes while serving dishes.

"I like it to be so quiet."

It was Chinese New Year, and there was no one else in the house, so Xie Anlan didn't pay attention to those rules, and just hugged him into his arms, and the two of them sat on the same chair to eat.

Lu Chengjie fell into Xie Anlan's arms unexpectedly, panicked for a moment, then calmed down, and half-jokingly said, "If I didn't have this disease, the mansion could also invite some singers to come, dance and sing a song to cheer up , unlike now, I can only let His Highness sit on the bench with me."

"One person's bench is cold, but two people's bench is warm." Xie Anlan put his arms around his waist, without taking the chopsticks, lowered his eyes and said, "Hey me."

Lu Chengjiao glanced at the table for a while, and was a little puzzled, "Is there no chili pepper today?"

Xie Anlan paused for a moment, "It's Chinese New Year, don't eat spicy food."

Lu Chengjie retorted, "Spicy food is better, next year will be booming."

"I won't eat today." Xie Anlan said stubbornly.

He regretted it a little. If he had known that Lu Chengjie liked spicy food, he would not have brought out the chili.

It turned out to be good now, making it hard for him to get off the tiger.

"Okay." Lu Chengjie pursed his lips, not knowing what Xie Anlan was insisting on, but he still didn't argue with him any further.

Picking up the chopsticks on the table, feed Xie Anlan a mouthful, and eat a mouthful for himself.

The two of them faced the moonlight like this, although they were deserted, they were also full of warmth.

"Yo, I'm eating."

In the middle of the meal, many uninvited guests came.

As soon as Xie Guanchao walked into the main hall of Prince Chen's Mansion, it was not surprising to see the two hugging and eating together, and they greeted each other casually.

Xie Anlan looked at the brothers and sisters-in-law who filed in front of her, frowned, and asked the next person, "Why, no one needs to be notified of the people coming from the Chen Palace now?"

"We told them not to report." Seeing that Xie Anlan wanted to vent his anger on the servants, Xie Guanchao hurriedly said, "For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, don't embarrass them too much."

"It's only been a few days, and fifth brother has learned to be a good person." Xie Anlan hugged Lu Chengjiao who was struggling to get up, and let him sit on her, squinting at the person in front of him .

"Hey..." Xie Guanchao snorted, "Don't be ignorant of good people, our brothers didn't see you this New Year's Eve, the house was deserted, and we didn't even eat two bites of the palace banquet, so we came here to give you Happy New Year."

Xie Anlan sneered, "If you don't come, I will have a more comfortable life this year."

"Seventh brother, we're just here to give a gift, and we'll leave after celebrating the New Year, so we won't bother you." Xie Guangchi said slowly, with a thin face, coughing.

"The fourth brother gave you a gift, so hurry back." Xie Anlan looked at the impatient fourth concubine behind Xie Guangchi, her voice was flat.

"Let's go now, let's go now." Xie Guangchi asked his servants to put down the gift he gave him, and took his princess with him. He looked at the two people next to each other with a little envy, and then looked at the two people beside him in despair. The princess, who didn't care about anything, left the Chen Palace with a sigh.

He also wanted to treat his princess well.

But his princess doesn't care about anything.

I have even mentioned to him many times that he can take concubines.

He looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and looked hopefully at the princess beside him, "Yun'er, can I go back to my room tonight..."

"No, I can keep watch tonight. I want to turn on the light and finish reading "The Legend of the Holy Monarch." Ran Ruyun refused Xie Guangchi without saying a word.

"...Okay then." Xie Guangchi pursed his lips and nodded with difficulty concealing his disappointment.

"If you feel that it's cold to sleep alone, you can choose the girl in my room or the girl in the house." Thinking of going back to reading, Ran Ruyun was rarely in a good mood, and said a few more words.

"It's not cold, it's not cold, it's good." Xie Guangchi shook his head violently. When he was young, he had seen too many women fighting for favor and position in the palace. Now thinking of that scene still gives me a severe headache.

"That's up to you." Seeing that he disagreed, Ran Ruyun didn't care at all, as long as she didn't bother her.

After Xie Guangchi left, Xie Anlan's eyes swept over the other brothers.

He was the youngest, and several princes also followed him, put down their things one by one, and left.

Only the third princess mysteriously took out a picture book from her sleeve and put it in Lu Chengjiao's hand.

"Sister-in-law three, this is..." Lu Chengjia casually flipped through the album, closed it quickly, and stopped talking.

"I saw that the two princesses used tricks against the seventh brother a while ago. I was afraid that you would suffer, so I bought it from Huagui Building at a high price. You should learn from it. Although you are a man, you can't let the two women compare. "

It's rare that the third concubine didn't stab her sword today, but Lu Chengjie still didn't feel right about what she said.

He flipped through the album again, shook his head without interest, and returned it to the third concubine, "No need."

"Why?" Princess Wang was at a loss.

Lu Chengjie quietly glanced at Xie Anlan, and whispered, "It's too simple."

The third concubine shook her hand while holding the album, feeling like being stabbed for the first time.

After seeing off these annoying brothers and sisters-in-law, Xie Anlan lost her appetite, so she looked at Lu Chengjiao and asked, "What did the third sister-in-law ask you for just now?"

"It's nothing." Lu Chengjiao casually said a few words.

"Are you still eating?" Xie Anlan asked as she watched the food gradually getting cold on the table.

"Don't eat." After being interrupted by someone, Lu Chengjie lost his appetite.

"Then go to the night watch?" Xie Anlan asked tentatively.

Before Lu Cheng could finish ordering, he was picked up by Xie Anlan.

With Lu Chengjiao in his arms, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, "...Aren't you going to watch the night?"

"It's a night watch." Xie Anlan put the man on the bed, lowered her head, looked into his eyes, and said affirmatively, "One night watch."

The fireworks in the imperial capital bloomed gorgeously in the dark night sky, reflecting the night like day. Xie Anlan gasped in Lu Chengjia's ear, and said kissingly, "Make up for last year's..."
