Reborn Emperor's Wife

Rong Yi pulled a chair and sat at the table, and served himself a bowl of lotus seed, yam, and red bean soup. The lotus seed was soft and crispy, and the taste was slightly astringent and sweet. The lotus heart was gone, so there was no bitterness. It has the functions of liver fire and other functions, and it is a medicine for clearing away heat. Pregnant people should not eat more.The yam is soft, absorbs the aroma of red beans, and is smooth in the mouth. When cooking, it is not cut into the usual slices, but cut into strips as thick as chopsticks and as long as the length of the little finger. It tastes unique.The red beans are stewed until they are soft and waxy, but they are not boiled into red bean paste. Instead, you can see the appearance of the whole red bean. The heat is well controlled.

There are also a little wolfberry and lily in the lotus seed, yam and red bean soup, which are red, white and white, floating on the soup surface, adding a bit of interest.

Rong Yi squinted his eyes when he ate it, "It tastes so good. Chinese yam has the effect of nourishing the spleen and stomach, nourishing the lungs and kidneys; wolfberry, sweet in taste, calm in nature, nourishing the liver and kidney, and improving eyesight. Lotus seeds are sweet and astringent It is calm in nature, enters the heart, spleen, and kidney meridian, and has the effect of nourishing the heart, kidney, and spleen. Lily, nourishes yin and lungs, clears the heart and calms the nerves. This red bean soup is well-made, and you are really good at cooking pancakes. "

After being praised, Xiao Bingzhi accepted it without any humility, "Of course, my lord doesn't like too much sweet food, so I stew it with rock sugar, and my lord has some dry cough recently, rock sugar moistens lungs and stomach, relieves cough To reduce phlegm, nourish yin and promote body fluid, cooking with rock sugar is more appropriate."

"Bingtang has a sweet taste, flat nature, pure taste, and refreshing sweetness. It is perfect for making sweet soup. Bingtang can be used for cooking stews or making desserts. Can you make Bingtang lotus seeds? It is best to use the ones from Hunan. White lotus seeds are round and white, with a delicate fragrance of powder and waxy. The lotus seeds made of rock sugar are very delicious. This is one of the delicacy of Hunan cuisine. I have eaten it once, and the aftertaste is endless. Fragrant'." Rong Yi ate the lotus seed, yam, and red bean soup and did not forget the related food, and he spoke clearly and clearly, looking like a glutton.

"I will make it. The lotus seeds used in the lotus seed, yam, and red bean soup you are eating now are white lotus seeds from Xiangdi. Remove the core and blanch in water to remove the bitter taste, then put them in the red bean soup and cook together. It tastes good! If you want to eat lotus seeds in rock sugar, I can make them for you to eat at night.” Xiao Bingzhi’s favorite thing is cooking, but unfortunately his family doesn’t allow him to do this. He didn't match his identity, and then there was chaos at home, he was involved in disputes, almost died, and ran out secretly in frustration, knowing that the danger outside, the gold and silver he carried were quickly cheated , and was tricked into selling it as obscene playthings in the borderlands.It coincided with the military chaos, and the person who lied to him was killed by the soldiers. He took advantage of the chaos and escaped, and only survived when he met Prince Ning of the Great Qi Kingdom.

Xiao Bingzhi is good at cooking. Although he was named master and servant after King Ning's side, King Ning actually regarded him as his younger brother. As long as he didn't cause trouble, he would let him do what he did. Later, he found a master for him, and the dishes he cooked were even better. Well, every time I make a good dish, I will show it to King Ning.It's a pity that King Ning doesn't pay much attention to his appetite, and the delicious delicacies he cooks can at most give a good word, and he won't say much, which makes Xiao Bingzhi somewhat depressed.

No one appreciates good food, lonely!

When encountering Rong Yi who knows how to eat and speak, Xiao Bingzhi even had the illusion of consummation. He was so happy in his heart that he became active in action, wishing to perform all kinds of martial arts, and fix a table of delicious food so that Rong Yi could eat enough. Enough is enough for him to listen to.

Rong Yi didn't feel like meeting a close friend, whether at home, in the General's Mansion, or outside, he didn't eat too much delicious food, but he just felt that Xiao Bingzhi's dishes were more in line with his taste Appetite, maybe this is the feeling of bosom friend.

Daughter is easy to get, confidant is hard to find, Rong Yi and Xiao Bingzhi cherish each other, they have changed their previous rivalry, and their relationship is changing rapidly, and they are almost as good as glue.

Lou Yinan didn't think red bean soup had anything special besides being hot and tasty, and the rock sugar lotus seeds that Rong Yi said were boiled lotus seeds in sugar water. Thinking about it, I felt unappetizing. With the first mouthful, the lotus seed, yam, and red bean soup in the bowl was stuffed, and Lou Yinan turned his head and asked Qi Chengqian if he needed another bowl?

Qi Chengqian shook his head, "One bowl is enough."

"Dinner time is coming soon, what do you want to eat? I'll get someone to prepare it!" Lou Yinan looked at Geng Leu, now it's the end of time, and it won't be long before dinner time.

"Stewed elbows in rock sugar." Qi Chengqian rarely eats this kind of heavy food. His taste is light, and he also likes boiled or fried meat. It feels like a panic when you eat it.

"It's rare for the prince to propose a dish that he particularly wants to eat. I'll make it and make sure it's delicious." Xiao Bingzhi volunteered, and hurried out after speaking. Bingtang elbow is a time-consuming dish. If you want the flesh of the elbow to be crispy , It takes an hour to simmer for a long time. Without the meat, it will not rot, and the taste will not go out. For a chef, it is a blasphemy to bring an unsatisfactory dish to the table.

"Wait for me, I also want to eat." Rong Yi quickly drank the sugar water in the bowl, and followed Xiao Bingzhi outside.

As soon as Rong Yi and Xiao Bingzhi left, Shi Mo and Song Yan stood guard outside again. The originally narrow tent suddenly became spacious, and there were only Lou Yinan and Qi Chengqian in the huge tent.Although he didn't express his affection to each other, Qi Chengqian, who is introverted, has almost agreed to Lou Yinan, which made Lou Yinan so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear when taking a bath, but it was better when he drank sweet soup, and his mouth closed a little It didn't look weird.

Being stared at by Lou Yinan's enthusiastic eyes, Qi Chengqian felt a little unnatural, he found a book from somewhere, it was a travel book about the scenery of the Xiao Kingdom, but he held it in his hand for a long time, but he didn't have a word look in.

With Qi Chengqian's side agreement, Lou Yinan felt relieved, but still a little uneasy, he said: "Agan, we will be together after birth in the future, I will not marry a wife and take concubines, and I will not sleep with flowers Liu, I will only have you in my heart from beginning to end. I am very domineering, I am like this, and I ask you to do the same, even if you become the Ninth Five-Year Lord, you are not allowed to expand the harem, add more beauties, I will be yours , you can only be mine alone. Do you mind?"

"No." Qi Chengqian answered simply.

Lou Yinan didn't react to the crisp word, and asked in a daze, "Why?"

"You are different." Qi Chengqian suddenly reached out and grabbed Lou Yinan's arm.

When Lou Yinan turned his head, two eyes just happened to look into his eyes, those eyes seemed to be real, as if they were about to pass through his eyes and look into his heart at once.Lou Yinan only felt his heart tense, leaning forward, caught Qi Chengqian's lips, and a delicate kiss fell on Qi Chengqian's lips, he didn't dodge.

After the kiss was over, Lou Yinan leaned on the bed with his arms around Qi Chengqian, Qi Chengqian weakly grasped the book in his hand, this posture made him look very weak, but it was also protected tightly, making him helpless and reluctant at the same time Breaking free from Lou Yinan's embrace, he simply chose to indulge, abandoning all complicated thoughts and seriously reading the book.

This book was written by a person from Daqi more than 30 years ago. After reading the book describing the customs and customs of Daqi Dynasty, he suddenly became fascinated by places other than Daqi. The three kingdoms of Xiao, Xia and Qi were originally one and separated. Afterwards, the scenery of the other two countries has become a foreign scenery.The man felt that it was a pity, so he packed his bags and saluted. He spent 20 years traveling all over Xiao and Xia. A total of more than [-] volumes have been written for future generations to read.

The book in Qi Chengqian's hands is the second volume of more than twenty volumes. It tells about the person who has set off from Qi State and entered a city on the border of Xiao State. Daqi scenery along the road.

The language is usually full of tension, and the characteristics of things can be outlined with a few strokes. The combination of narration and lyricism is fascinating, and Qi Chengqian reads it unconsciously.

With the scent lingering at the tip of his nose, he felt hungry.

"It's so well written that I lost track of the time before I knew it." Qi Chengqian made a mark on the book so that he could read it next time.He sat up and put the book on the bedside table. After a long time in this position, his body became a little stiff, and he felt comfortable after moving around for a while.

"I just picked up this one when I came out this time. You like me to send the other ones to your house. This person also wrote other poems and songs. They were all made along the way. Although they are not as good as travel notes, they are It is also suitable for the local customs and customs, which is not bad, so I will also send it together." Qi Chengqian felt his body stiff when he leaned against Lou Yinan, and even half of his body was numb when he was leaning against Lou Yinan. It hurts, and now I feel that there are tens of thousands of ants gnawing on half of my body, which is sore and numb.

Qi Chengqian saw that Lou Yinan was like this, and there was something he didn't understand, with a look of embarrassment on his face, he took Lou Yinan's hand to make him sit up, and massaged his arm.

"hiss!"

"It hurts?" Lou Yinan yelled, Qi Chengqian didn't dare to move.

"No, it's numbness." Lou Yinan grinned in pain, feeling that half of his body was not his own.

After a while, I found the control of my body again, stood on the flat ground and stretched, feeling comfortable.

"In the future, don't rely on it like you did just now, it's not good. If I become a fan of reading books, you will have to suffer." Qi Chengqian didn't realize that, he was already thinking about the scene of the two getting along in the future.

Lou Yinan grinned loudly after hearing this, "Even if the pain is unbearable, as long as you lean on me to read, I don't think it's a pain."

The two of them were tired, and dinner was ready on the table. Looking at the four dishes, one soup and one dessert on the table, Xiao Bing was still full of ambition.The four dishes are the rock sugar knuckles that Qi Chengqian ordered, the squirrel mandarin fish that Rong Yi ordered, cabbage in clear soup, and stuffed cucumbers. The dessert was also the lotus seeds in rock sugar that Rong Yi ordered.Except for a rock candy elbow, Rong Yi asked for the others by name, and Lou Yinan did not participate in the opinion.

The rock candy elbows were made bright red and full of fragrance. Xiao Bingzhi also spread a layer of soybeans under the elbows. The soybeans absorbed the oil oozing from the elbows, making the elbows less greasy and the beans became extra delicious.Pull out the big stick bone on the elbow, which contains bone marrow, Lou Yinan likes to eat this, Rong Yi gave the bone stick without any shreds of meat to his cousin.After the meat was divided, most of it went to Qi Chengqian, a small part was shared with Rong Yi and Xiao Bingzhi, and no soybeans were left for Lou Yinan.

Lou Yinan looked at the chilly inside of the big bones on his ossuary, Bai said to his cousin, the medicinal materials must be skipped, for sure.

Or Qi Chengqian couldn't see it, and gave his share to Lou Yinan, not to mention, Xiao Bingzhi's craftsmanship is really nothing to say.Bingtang elbow is mouth-watering just by smelling it, and eating it is a reward for the taste buds, especially the piece with the skin and meat and fat, which is absolutely enjoyable for those who love to eat.

After a meal, everyone was very satisfied. Rongyi also commented on the color, fragrance and shape of each dish. The comments were pertinent, and he also gave some opinions and suggestions of his own, which made Xiao Bingzhi, who was listening carefully, more satisfied. It was the eyes that were shining, and the way he looked at Rong Yi was like a puppy looking at a meaty bone, with the taste of taking it for himself.

After dinner, Lou Yinan saw that Rong Yi was going out with a small jar in his arms, so he asked, "Where are you going with the jar in your arms?"

"Oh, there is pear paste in it. I made it and sent it to my aunt. My aunt has had a itchy throat and cough for the past two days. After eating pear paste, it will be better. I also bought some medicines for aunt to promote body fluid, reduce fire, moisten lungs and relieve cough, and mix it with pear paste. The effect of using it is better. After delivering the medicine, I will talk to my aunt for a while, and then I will go back to sleep." This day was quite a toss, and after eating delicious meals, his stomach was full and warm, and he was a little sleepy.

Pears are sweet in taste, cold in nature, and have the effects of promoting body fluid and quenching thirst, moistening lungs and clearing heart, benefiting intestines and detoxifying. In autumn, the weather is dry and easy to get angry, and Rong's body is weak, so the feeling is more obvious. Cake is ready.Eating raw pears is too cold, making pear paste and snack pear cakes will dilute the coldness of pears and will not harm her body.

Lou Yinan felt that he was really unfilial, he didn't even know his mother was coughing these few days, he was really ashamed of being a son of man.After coming out of the mountains, he hasn't seen his mother yet. It's too unfilial. After being reborn, he cherishes his family even more. Could it be that these are just talking, Lou Yinan deeply blamed himself.

"Thank you." Lou Yinan said to Rong Yi, if it wasn't for Rong Yi's constant caring and talking to her mother, how boring these days in the drow paddock would be for her mother!

"It's okay, cousin, you're busy, aunt knows, and it's only natural for me to spend more time with aunt when I'm alone." Rong Yi scratched her head embarrassingly.

"Let's go together. I haven't seen my mother since I came out of the mountains."

"it is good."

It's getting late, Qi Chengqian should go back, it's okay to stay in Lou Yinan's tent during the day, it would be shameful not to go back at night.

It happened to be on the way, after sending Qi Chengqian back first, Lou Yinan went to his mother's place.Because Lou Yinan is in the guard station and has a public job, it is not easy to live with his family. He lives a little far away from his parents, but he is young and strong enough to walk for a while. almost there.

After arriving at the drow paddock, Mrs. Rong felt a little lazy and didn't want to go out. Later, because of the heavy rain in the mountains and the outbreak of torrents, she even stayed at home and stayed in the tent to chant scriptures and pray for blessings. Her family deliberately kept it from her, so she He didn't know that Lou Yinan was trapped in the mountains and only came out today.

The son didn't come over to say hello, she thought he had some work to do and couldn't spare time.

Lou Yinan talked with his mother for a while, seeing that his mother looked very good, although he felt that his throat was a little dry and itchy, but it was not a serious problem, so he was relieved.

"Madam, young master, the master is back."

As soon as the maid finished speaking, Lou Zhenshan came in with a sense of tide all over her body, and Rong quickly stepped forward to change her clothes, but he hid him, "I'm cold, don't get it on you, I'll go wash it up, change it. Get dressed and come right away."

"Master, it's better to soak in hot water, it will be comfortable." Seeing that her husband's complexion was pale, it was obvious that he was freezing.

"Well, it's fine. You two get up, Yinan should talk to your mother more, learn more from Xiaoyi, how well-behaved." Lou Zhenshan said to Lou Yinan and Rongyi who came forward to salute.

"My son knows."

It didn't take long for Lou Zhenshan to wash and wash, he got better soon, and after coming out, he drank a bowl of thick ginger and brown sugar water, which made him feel comfortable.

The Rong family had already eaten the dinner first, and Lou Zhenshan also ate an imperial meal with the emperor, and he knew that there was nothing to eat when he ate with the emperor, it was just sticking chopsticks, and Prince Ning was praying for blessings, and the prince was messing around , so that the emperor has no appetite at all.The emperor didn't have the heart to eat, how could he be full as a courtier, Lou Zhenshan was cold and hungry, it was more tiring than fighting the enemy for more than 300 rounds in the northwest.

The meals were also ready, Lou Yinan and the others came over even though they were full, but they also ate some with them.After eating, he talked to his mother for a while, and Lou Yinan got up to leave.

"I also happened to go for a walk to digest food, Yinan, you accompany me as my father."

"Good father."

It was raining less outside, but the wind picked up, and the night was as cold as water, blowing chills on the body. Lou Zhenshan and Lou Yinan went to Rong Yi's tent to talk, and after coming out of Rong's place, they walked dozens of steps and arrived. .

"You have a very close relationship with Prince Ning, don't you?" Although Lou Zhenshan asked questioningly, his tone was affirmative.

"Yes." Lou Yinan was not afraid that his father would know.

"Nonsense, although our Lou family is a pure minister and always stands by the emperor's side, but your aunt is a queen, and the child she gave birth to is a prince. The Lou family has to be given the title of princeling. How can you act like this?" Didn't he stand behind King Ning again, let His Majesty think and let others think!" Lou Zhenshan slapped the table heavily, and the teacups on the table jumped.

Lou Yinan didn't feel that he was wrong, but instead asked: "Does father think the prince is suitable to be emperor?"

"Stop talking nonsense." This is a taboo word!

"Now there are only you and me, and there are people guarding outside, so it doesn't matter if we talk about it." Rong Yi was still talking to Rong Shi about raising his health, but he didn't come back.

Silent for a while, Lou Zhenshan didn't say anything in the end.

Lou Zhenshan didn't say anything, but Lou Yinan didn't have so many taboos, "The prince is weak, indecisive, easy to be influenced by others, and he can't be the lord of a country at all. Although His Majesty didn't say clearly today that his father should hand over military power , but everyone understands what he meant, and it’s okay to talk about it now, it’s not necessarily the next time, maybe it’s just a decree, so that father must hand it over. After handing over the military power, what will the Lou family do? Standing on a high place, the emperor looks like he has received the favor of the emperor, but he is actually a living target. He has offended countless powerful people over the years. Once there is no military power, will there be fewer people who bully us? Not to mention others, even the emperor himself I will let the Lou family go! Not to mention the prince, I can assure you that if the prince wants to succeed, the Lou family will be the first one the emperor wants to get rid of." Wasn't that the case in the last life, the prince succeeded to the throne, according to the emperor's will, the next The first imperial decree was to get rid of the Lou family.

The imperial army rushed into the Lou family and detained the unprepared Lou family on the spot. They also found letters of collaborating with the enemy and treason from Lou Zhenshan's study. The prince, who was still impatient, made up his mind.The prince also went to the prison and cried bitterly, crying about how his uncle was collaborating with the enemy and treason, which made him so sad as a nephew.

Hehe, the crown prince sentenced Lou Zhenshan to death based on the few letters he found. Doesn't he have the brains to make a judgment? If he has the heart, the seemingly tight "evidence" can still find loopholes.

The emperor had already planted in the prince's mind the thought that the Lou family wanted to get rid of, and the prince was not the Lou family's reliance at all.

It's just not yet, the prince's heart is still towards the Lou family!But, how long will it last? The emperor's heart is unpredictable. No matter how stupid the prince is, he was brought up by the emperor's power education!

Lou Zhenshan didn't know this, it was just a fantasy. Although he was shaken in his loyalty to the emperor after hearing what his son said, he still couldn't do the thing of rebelling against the emperor, and the prince had the blood of the Lou family after all. Do I have to give up my nephew who I watched grow up?

Seeing that his father was still silent and speechless, Lou Yinan decided to use strong medicine, "Father, how is Jiang Junshi next to you now? His eldest son is also as big as Xiaoyi, right?"

"Why did you ask this all of a sudden?"

"Isn't Jiang Junshi not married, but he and a man became brothers together, and the two have several children." Lou Yinan continued without pausing, "My son also likes a man!"

"What?" Lou Zhenshan stared wide-eyed, wishing he could swallow Lou Yinan alive.

If it were anyone else who was stared at so viciously by Lou Zhenshan, his legs would have been weak, but Lou Yinan didn't. He looked at his father calmly, "We are about to have a child, and you are going to be a grandfather!"

"What?!" Being frightened too much, Lou Zhenshan's staring tiger eyes were full of astonishment, but after all, thousands of troops came here, and after a little connection with Lou Yinan's words, Lou Zhenshan who calmed down got He came to a conclusion that shocked him beyond measure, "You are with a bereaved man, and that man is pregnant!"

Because he is his military adviser, Lou Zhenshan is very aware of some things, and Lou Zhenshan has personally participated in some disputes between the military adviser and his men, so he clearly knows what is a bereaved family and what are the characteristics of a bereaved family member.

"Well, yes." Lou Yinan nodded, "So the throne of King Ning is confirmed, only he is worthy of that position, the crown prince is not."

Lou Yinan felt that he was not well, and asked with trembling lips: "Could it be that the man you mentioned is King Ning?"

"um, yes."

"So it's true!"

"What, Dad?"

"The royal family of the Great Qi Kingdom is the continuation of the Great Qi Dynasty. It is rumored that one of the empresses of the Great Qi Dynasty was a man. The empress was very affectionate and raised many children together, but the birth mothers of those children are unknown. Later, it was said that the children were all born to that man, and that man is the survivor."

"It turns out that's the case. No wonder Agan can conceive a child. In the final analysis, this is the reason!"

"You bastard, why didn't you say it earlier. What should we do now?"

"Don't even think about it, I'm definitely supporting King Ning." Lou Yinan didn't make more choices at all, and didn't need to think about it, "Father, for your grandson, you should understand your choice, right? For the good of the Lou family, this is also the best choice."

Lou Zhenshan was silent, and did not answer until he left, but Lou Yinan felt that his father would definitely support him, for the Lou family, for his grandson, and especially for his son.

Lou Yinan looked at his father's back as silent as a mountain. When, his father's back was no longer tall, and the vicissitudes of life had already emerged, but even though he was old, his spine was still straight. He was always loyal to this country, but Lou Yinan wanted to let his father know that being loyal to the country does not necessarily mean being loyal to the reigning monarch, if the monarch is not benevolent, he should be loyal to another emperor.

But in this country, the Lou family is still guarding it.
