Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 66 Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty
Chang Sun Chong was stunned, met Li Mingda's eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth helplessly, with a half-smile.
"Father asked someone to investigate the cause of Princess Runan's death a few days ago." Li Mingda said this suddenly, intending to test Chang Sun Chong, "Could there be an inside story about her death?"
Chang Sun Chong didn't hide anything, "Back then, your fifth sister was very arrogant among the sisters because of her holy favor. Princess Runan was the most unconvinced about this, she wentssip about her behind her back, and she found out, so she She led someone to pour ice water on her and bullied her. Who would have thought that the person would die after catching a cold."
Li Mingda: "What did Fifth Sister tell you?"
"No, it's another person."
Li Mingda immediately understood that this "other person" probably refers to Princess Suian.
Li Mingda knew that Changsun Chong needed to be quiet at the moment, so he left without disturbing him.At this moment, I can't say anything else. Before leaving, I just asked him to think more about it.
Changsun Chong agreed, watched Li Mingda go, and a servant from the other side came to inform him in a low voice that Fang Dalang had arrived.
Chang Sun Chong raised his head slightly, glanced at the direction Li Mingda was leaving, and turned around and hurried into the mansion until his figure disappeared.
Fang Yizhi stood on the mourning hall with hands behind his hands, looking at the empty coffin in the center of the mourning hall.All the idlers in the house have already been taken away by the housekeeper.
As soon as Changsun Chong entered the door, he tilted his head to signal his subordinates and closed the door behind him.
"Why did you come here?" Chang Sun Chong frowned.
"I thought you would be happier in this place," Fang Yi looked straight at the empty coffin, "Now that he's gone, you should feel at ease."
"How comfortable, if your future wife elopes with someone, will you be happy?"
"I'm different from you, I would rather lack than abuse." Fang Yi said straight.
"It's easy to say, how many people can't help themselves in this world." Chang Sun Chong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling helplessly.
"It's only the weak who say that."
The eldest grandson was stunned, and turned to look at Fang Yizhi again, "You have changed, you are different from before."
"It used to be small."
Fang Yizhi followed his elder Sun Chong to leave the mourning hall, and the two sat down by the waterside, drinking and chatting.
"In the eyes of outsiders, it's not good for you to drink and celebrate just after the princess leaves." Fang Yizhi reminded.
"After all, the saint knows everything. Now he only feels that he owes me. Not to mention that no one has reported it, even if there is, the saint will not care about me." After Changsun Chong said, he drank the wine in his glass.
Then he poured another glass of wine and raised his glass to Fang Yi, thanking him for helping him.
"This is already the best way to get the best of both worlds, thank you so much."
"But you regretted it last night." Fang Yi stared at him.
Changsun Chong nodded, and then laughed at himself for being too soft-hearted.
"The emperor's favour, but not everyone can handle it firmly. It is not an example for a princess to be proud of her favour." Fang Yizhi said again.
"But as you said, there are many sisters, and they are always willing to compare and compete. She is not all bad, she is very talented and intelligent. If you only talk about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry, I can really talk to her Very happy, at that moment, people think she is a good spouse. However, she is too domineering, especially for the sisters. She has always regarded herself as the eldest daughter. I only hope that all the princesses can listen to her and respect her. It's best not to say anything else. She doesn't like someone to win favor and surpass her, and she doesn't like someone to grab her valued things. I have thought about the things about Princess Runan and Princess Sui'an back then. Sensible, if she knows how to repent, admit her mistakes, forgive her, and live with her well. But after all these years, her temper has not changed, she even cares about her own sister, you taught me how to be willing to get along with her."
"Sister, you mean Jinyang?" Fang Yi asked directly.
Changsun Chong nodded, "She never speaks out of jealousy, but pretends to be generous on the surface. She likes to think of herself as the elder sister and picks on her faults. But who can do everything? Besides, how old was Princess Jinyang? I heard it occasionally, It is pity that Princess Jinyang is innocent, so she will be more gentle with her, who knows that this will make her even more uncomfortable."
Fang Yi smiled bluntly, and comforted his grandson, Chong everything is over.He then raised his glass and drank the wine in his hand, and then said goodbye to him.
The eldest grandson stood up, corrected his posture, and thanked him solemnly. "I owe you a great favor. If there is anything to do in the future, no matter how I go through fire and water, I will still be sent by you."
"Just take your two children to live safely. If anything happens, it's best for everyone to be safe." Fang Yi straight up helped the eldest Sun Chong, and told him not to let himself down.
"Father never helped me back then. Brother Yizhi's kindness to me, can you still use words? Anyway, this sentence is here, I will wait for you at any time, thank you again and again." Chang Sun Chong saluted again, and personally sent it to Fangyi. Just get on the horse and you're done.
……
On the way back, Li Mingda had no intention of riding a horse, so He Tian Hanshan went back in a carriage.On the way, he watched the scenery outside the window without saying a word.
Now this is the third time that your lord has gone to Princess Changle's mansion, Tian Hanshan is very worried that his princess will be sad about leaving for Princess Changle.Tian Hanshan kept telling Li Mingda some interesting things that happened in the palace recently, but when he finished speaking, seeing that the princess still had a blank expression and did not respond, Tian Hanshan shut up honestly, knowing that what he said would hurt the princess. Saying it has no effect at all.
"It's as bright as the night moon shining on Qionglin, and as rotten as the morning glow reflecting Zhupu." Li Mingda suddenly read.
Tian Hanshan was a little dazed, and suddenly trembled when he heard the sound, "What is the princess talking about?"
"When Fifth Sister was born, Aye hugged her for the first time and was extremely touched, and then said these two sentences. It is said that Fifth Sister's name Lizhi came from this." Li Mingda said.
"Yes, I remembered it too. This word was spread in the palace before. Princess Changle is the first daughter born to the empress, and the saint loves her very much. It's a pity that Fang died young today." Tian Han Shan then said sadly, "The dead are gone, the princess must not be too sad, it's all gone."
"Yes, it's all over." Li Mingda agreed, and then asked Tian Hanshan very energetically, "What did you just say, Concubine Yang is pregnant?"
"Yes, Fang Qirui hasn't delivered the news yet, so I chose the opportunity to tell it today." Tian Hanshan pretended to be mysterious and whispered to Li Mingda, "Because I have a good relationship with Fang Gonggong, I know this news in advance. Your lord, Is the slave very powerful?"
"Excellent. Then I will also prepare some congratulatory gifts to send over. You can prepare them, but don't send things that are imported." Li Mingda instructed.
Tian Hanshan agreed.
When Li Ming reached the Qianhua Gate, he saw Li Tai was circling on the spot with his hands behind his back.As soon as he heard that she was back, Li Tai rushed over, apologized to her with a smile, and then led her into the Lizheng Hall.
"I said why are you waiting for me? I wanted to give Aye an explanation." Li Mingda deliberately teased him.
Li Tai was about to explain, when Fang Qirui came out, he saw the two hurriedly invited them inside to meet the saint.
Li Shimin was standing in front of the desk and splashing ink, when he heard that they entered the door, he didn't raise his eyes, and directly called his brothers and sisters to come and see his writing.
Li Tai and Li Mingda went to Li Shimin's side to read.
After Li Shimin finished writing, he smiled and asked him how the two of them were doing.
When Li Tai saw it, he hurriedly said, "Having plenty of muscle and strength, like a thirsty deer rushing to the spring, it is absolutely wonderful."
Li Shimin smiled, turned his gaze to Li Mingda, and asked her what she thought.
Li Mingda glanced at Li Shimin, then at the word, but didn't speak.
"You kid, are you having a temper tantrum with Aye?" Li Shimin asked.
"The words are good words, full of sadness." Li Mingda said.
Li Shimin's face suddenly turned cold when he heard this.
Seeing this, Li Tai was a little anxious, and pulled Li Mingda's sleeve, motioning her to quickly take back the words.
Li Shimin hurriedly reprimanded Li Tai not to bully his sister, "She sees it more seriously than you."
Li Tai was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly apologized to Li Mingda.
Li Shimin saw that their brother and sister had a good relationship, and sighed: "Sorrow is nothing but sorrow, but seeing you brother and sister is very gratifying."
Li Tai hurriedly persuaded his father a few words, and asked Li Shimin's calligraphy to go back, saying that he wanted to study and study, "I usually think that I am good at calligraphy, and I have some talent for appreciation, but now I know that I am self-willed, and I am not as thorough as my sister. You should reflect on yourself." .”
Li Shimin loves Li Tai's modesty, very much like him.Because of Li Tai's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Princess Changle, so he told the two brothers and sisters: "You all remember that everyone has shortcomings, and it is the greatest good thing to correct mistakes. For example, Aye, although As an emperor, he is often persuaded by Wei Zheng and learns to reflect on himself and correct his mistakes. Remember, don’t act willfully and self-willed, otherwise the evil things you do today will eventually be rewarded in the future.”
Li Shimin deliberately used simple words to tell his children, hoping that they could understand the purest meaning he expressed.
Li Tai and Li Mingda hurriedly agreed and said they would remember it.
Li Shimin sighed, and stopped pretending to be happy with his children, and sent them away.Then he suddenly remembered something, and called the two of them to stop again.
"Today we said to go to the cliff, what's the matter?"
Li Tai glanced at Li Mingda.
Li Mingda said honestly: "I was in a bad mood and didn't want to go, so my fourth brother dragged me around Chang'an City for a while."
"It's good to relax, if Aye is free some other day, I will go with you too." Li Shimin said.
"That's good, someone paid for dinner." Li Mingda sighed.
Li Tai sneered and said: "You are still short of money, when will Aye be short of you?"
Li Shimin also laughed, he didn't expect his daughter to care about money.
"To tell you the truth about Aye and fourth brother, I heard after I came back that Aye intends to find a son-in-law for me. I don't want to marry, but Aye refuses to let me. Then I can only plan for the future. Since I can't rely on Aye, this big tree is enjoying the shade, and I will start saving money from now on." After Li Mingda finished speaking, he stared at Li Tai's waist, "Fourth brother, your jade pendant is not bad, can you give it to me?"
Seeing this, Li Shimin was amused by his daughter and laughed.Li Tai also couldn't stop laughing, hurriedly tore off the jade pendant around his waist, and handed it to Li Mingda.
"If you still want it, Fourth Brother still has it. You can go to Wei Wang's Mansion to get it at another time." Li Tai said.
"Then I'll drive two cars."
Li Shimin laughed again, and immediately gave Li Mingda two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and ten thousand bolts of silk.
"Aye, I don't dare to ask for it." Li Mingda said.
"Didn't you just say you like money, why don't you want it now?" Li Shimin asked puzzled.
"That's the money I like to get. Aye suddenly gave so much, and Wei Gong will definitely have a disagreement when he turns around. I feel guilty about taking this money, and I dare not take it." Li Mingda moved closer to Li Shimin, and said quietly, "How about Give them separately, a little at a time, inconspicuous."
"Look at this girl who has a lot of eyes, but Aye likes it." Li Shimin laughed, and then told Fang Qirui to remember this matter, and give some every few days, so that it is less conspicuous.
Fang Qirui saw that the sage, who had been in a dull mood all day, was amused by Princess Jinyang's words, and he was also happy, so he quickly agreed.
After the two brothers and sisters left, Li Shimin couldn't help feeling: "My son has grown up and is sensible."
Fang Qirui knew the king's heart well, and he also sighed, "The princess is really more understanding."
Li Shimin glanced at him with a smile and nodded.He already knew what his daughter said just now, but he just said that to see himself sad and to make him happy.She is well-intentioned, and Li Shimin naturally wants to appreciate her.
With such a sensible daughter in front of me, those regrets and irritability were finally relieved a little, and my mood relaxed a lot.
Besides, after Li Tai came out of the Lizheng Hall, he turned around and flicked Li Mingda on the forehead.
Li Mingda covered his head and shouted in pain, "Why is fourth brother bullying me?"
"Ghost spirit." Li Tai sighed, and nodded Li Mingda's nose, "Don't think I don't know your little thoughts."
"What's the matter?" Li Mingda tilted his head and looked directly at him.
Li Tai took a deep breath, pointed to Li Mingda, "Okay, use it more in the future!"
Li Mingda chuckled, and said to Li Tai: "Fourth brother is even better, you can use what you have learned. Well, I was amused by you too, thank you for today!"
"Brothers and sisters, thank you for what you say. We have to go to the cliff another day. Whenever you want to go, just send someone to tell me. Even if the fourth brother is not free, he will make time for you."
Li Mingda was even more grateful in his heart and thanked him.
Li Tai thought for a while and asked Li Mingda, "Concubine Yang is pregnant, did you know?"
"I know, it's common for concubines to be pregnant, why does Fourth Brother suddenly ask about this?"
"It's nothing. I heard that her pregnancy is not easy. She almost lost it two days ago. The sage didn't know it. I guess I will know later, so I need to be nervous. I will let you know in advance. Be careful and don't cause trouble."
"Understood." Li Mingda smiled.
Li Tai just said goodbye to Li Mingda.
In the main hall in that room, Fang Qirui and his father reported about Gao Zhengfeng's disappearance.
Li Shimin said in a dull tone, "This Gao Jia Erlang is a child who is not sensible, and she is also confused."
Fang Qirui sighed, "Actually, the eldest son-in-law came here last night to intercede for the princess, why the saint didn't see him, there is still room for redemption."
"How many times, how many times do you want to indulge her? In the past, she was self-willed when she was young, but now she is already a mother of two children, but she still plays these childish tricks. How can I not be annoying! If this continues She is afraid that she will poke a hole in the sky. The queen under the nine springs will definitely not feel at ease when she sees her like this. It is better to let her learn the lesson quickly and let her go as she wants now. Without her status, she You can’t turn the sky around, you won’t have to regret it, and you can keep your reputation.”
Li Shimin immediately instructed Fang Qirui not to neglect Li Lizhi's affairs, to hold everything grandly, to choose the best words for the princess's epitaph, and not to slander her records in the history books.
"Just bury an empty coffin in Zhaoling first, and fill it in with her body after a hundred years."
Fang Qirui agreed.
Li Shimin sighed, and then asked Fang Qirui if the courtyard she built on the South China Sea was impressive, and if he had enough money.
"According to Bai Lu, the eldest maid who is under trial next to him, the preparations have been made a few years ago, which should be enough. His Majesty has sent someone to follow up and check, and there will be news in the near future. If it doesn't work, let's quietly help him buy it. The magistrates over there also said hello, and they are not allowed to provoke the princess's house casually." Fang Qirui replied.
Li Shimin: "At that time, my breath was tight in my chest. Seeing her so unbelievable, I was so angry that I..."
Li Shimin frowned fiercely, resting his hands on his forehead irritably, not knowing whether his actions were right or wrong.
"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. In the final analysis, this death was caused by herself." Fang Qirui couldn't understand why Princess Changle had to make such a fuss even though she was living a prosperous and prosperous life.Perhaps this is the reason for the so-called 'people are never satisfied'.
To comfort Li Shimin, Fang Qirui specially brought him a glass of freshly made peach juice, added more jujube and sugar, it must be full of taste.
When Li Shimin drank, he naturally thought of Sizi, thinking of the child's sensibility, so he didn't speak in advance.At this time, it was heard that Concubine Yang was pregnant, she almost had a miscarriage two days ago, but now she survived.Li Shimin was both scared and happy, and turned to blame Fang Qirui for not telling him such an important matter.
"I just found out that Concubine Yang was worried that His Majesty would be too sad for Princess Changle's death, and she didn't dare to let His Majesty know and worry about her, so she suppressed the news and waited two days before calling someone to report it." Fang Qirui said.
Without saying a word, Li Shimin hurriedly got up to visit, and asked Fang Qirui to prepare all the most valuable tonics in the palace and send them over.
The next day.
Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, the fragrance of vegetables wafted from Shangshi Bureau.Li Mingda sniffed vigorously, smelling that there was nothing she wanted for dinner, his eyes dimmed immediately.
At this moment, Tian Hanshan was happily reporting the names of the dishes to your lord, such as barbecue, grilled shrimp, etc., but after he finished speaking, he found that your lord's expression was indifferent, and he was not interested at all.
"If your master doesn't like it, tell me what you like to eat, and I will order the Food Bureau to prepare it."
Li Mingda grabbed the book in his hand and shook his head. She had no appetite at first, but suddenly remembered something.
"When I went to Fang's house that time, I tasted something. It tasted very good. It seemed to be fried with meat wrapped in dough. You can ask the cook what kind of dish it is. Cook it for me." Li Mingda said .
Tian Hanxi took the order, so he sent someone to ask, and he replied after a while, shaking his head in confusion.
"You can roll the meat with dough and let them fry it to try." Tian Hanshan suggested.
"But it's different. It's not just plain skin. I tasted it and there are other flavors. How come the imperial chef in the palace didn't know it. I thought it was just a small snack, and everyone could make it."
Tian Hanshan sneered, "Perhaps the dish was created by the Fang family, so those royal chefs don't know about it."
"Then don't eat, just drink some peach juice." Li Mingda said without appetite.Then he ordered Tian Hanshan to set up a small table under the sycamore tree at the back of the house, so she could read a book in the shade under the tree while it was still dark.
Tian Hanshan agreed, ordered someone to do it, and at the same time had a plan in mind, then he went to find Cheng Chubi, begging him to go to Fang's house to see if he could find out the recipe for this thing.
It was almost dinner time, Fang Yizhi suddenly heard that Cheng Chubi was coming to see him, and he was puzzled.Later they met and asked why, and learned that it was Tian Hanshan who came to ask for recipes for the princess's appetite, Fang Yizhi did not dare to neglect, and ordered Cheng Chubi to rest in the house to wait, while he immediately went to find his mother.
Upon hearing Fang Yizhi's words, Mrs. Lu said happily: "Princess read those two small snacks I made? I didn't say that, Princess Jinyang really has vision. My cooking is said to be the best in the world, and there is really no second." Yes, it’s the only one in the world, and you can’t find it anywhere else. Back then, you, Aye, were greedy for my skills, so you didn’t dare to look for people outside, otherwise he won’t have anything good to eat in the future!”
"Mom, hurry up and cook, we're still waiting over there."
"It's a waste of effort to do it first, and it will take a long time to eat. I just made some this morning, but I lacked a step of frying. Let them take it into the palace and ask the imperial chef to fry it. It's ready to eat. This deep-fried The food must be deep-fried to be delicious, and it must not be out of date, you have to tell them well, do you know?" After Lu said, he ordered people to put everything in a food box and gave it to Cheng Chubi with.
Fang Yizhi also followed what Lu Shi said, and wrote down the method in detail on paper, and gave it to Cheng Chubi.
After Cheng Chubi thanked him, he hurriedly rode a fast horse into the palace.
Li Mingda was reading a book seriously, when he suddenly smelled the fragrance, his eyes lit up, looking around for the fragrance, and after a while, he saw the palace maid bringing up two plates of fragrant things.
Li Mingda saw that it was exactly what she wanted, and asked Tian Hanshu where he came from.
"I'm the master of my own accord, so I'll trouble Guard Cheng to go to Fang's house." Tian Hanshan admitted honestly, "Madam Lu made this by herself, and she said that there were some leftovers, and they were fried by the imperial chef, just enough to give to the nobles. main."
"Just some left? It's a lie." Li Mingda smiled, she appreciated Lu's kindness, and asked Tian Han to prepare iced grape juice, which was just sour and sweet.
Tian Hanshan agreed, and he will do it now.
Under the luxuriant sycamore tree, there was a straw mat, a small table was placed on the mat, and a soft cushion beside the small table. Li Mingda was sitting on the soft cushion at the moment, holding his chin, reading while eating.
Take a bite, it is sweet and crisp, with the aroma of tender meat inside, which disappears immediately in the mouth, and the lingering fragrance fills the mouth and nose.
Li Mingda ate half of it before suddenly remembering to ask if there are names for these two dishes.
"The wind disappears," Tian Hanshan said first, pointing to the skin-wrapped dish, and then pointed to another plate, "The fragrance of the door."
"How do you make this thing?" Li Mingda asked Tian Hanshan to try it.
Tian Hanshan took a sip, sighed that it was delicious, carefully considered the taste inside, and then suddenly realized and said to Li Mingda: "It must not be just bread wrapped in meat and fried together."
"nonsense."
Li Mingda smelled the skin of the noodles, and took another bite, "The skin tastes like glutinous rice, sweet, and a little bit of fermented rice. The minced meat inside is also special, chewy, crispy, and there are sesame seeds inside. Very delicious."
Tian Hanshu suddenly remembered and slapped himself on the forehead. "Look at this slave's memory, Fang Dalang wrote down how to do it."
Tian Hanshan then opened the prescription, "Sure enough, as your lord said, the skin of this wind and disappearance is freshly ground glutinous rice powder, and then kneaded into a dough with honey juice, fermented rice, and sugar, rolled with crispy minced meat, and a little Roast it, hang it up to dry, and then throw it in a frying pan piece by piece.
Guomenxiang is relatively simple, that is, cut all kinds of rice skins, noodles, dried meat, and dried fruits that can be fried into thin slices, and put them in boiling oil and scald them immediately. "
"Don't look at the simplicity, such a frying, all kinds of aromas, mixed in a plate to eat, sweet and sour, crispy, different tastes, the taste will feel fresh, not monotonous and boring." Li Mingda sighed, " Mrs. Lu must be a good cook. Some dishes seem simple, but it is not easy at all to figure out a new process."
Tian Hanshan agreed, and also admired Mrs. Lu, it seems that this jealousy jar is too famous, and it really covered up Mrs. Lu's other virtuous talents.
"We need to justify her name. Besides, although a man has three wives and four concubines, there is no reason for a woman to be loyal. I think Mrs. Lu is right to be jealous. You men should also be loyal to women."
"What your lord said is very true!" Tian Hanshan immediately responded, anyway, he has no objection, whatever your lord says is right.
Li Mingda was happy, and continued to eat this while reading a book, paired with a glass of iced grape juice, it was an excellent enjoyment.
……
Liang Guogong's mansion.
Fang Xuanling, who had been busy for a whole day, finally made it home. Sitting down to have a meal with the family was an excellent enjoyment for him.
The second son couldn't come back from the Princess Mansion, so the so-called 'family' at the moment consisted of Fang Xuanling and Lu Shi, daughter Fang Baozhu, eldest son Fang Yizhi, and third son Fang Yize.
After Fang Yizhi and Fang Yize paid their respects to their parents, they sat down at the table one by one with Fang Xuanling's "sit down" permission, and then picked up chopsticks to eat.
The so-called eat without talking, in a family like Liang Guogong, it should be the same.
But today, from the moment Fang Yi picked up the chopsticks, he was embarrassed and wanted to say something, but because of the big brother's look, he kept silently eating.
Fang Baozhu saw the third brother like this, she pursed her lips and secretly smiled, and silently lowered her head to eat.
Fang Xuanling felt the small movements of the two children, and then looked at the dishes on the table, and realized that something was wrong, and then put down the chopsticks in dissatisfaction.
Because Lu Shi had something in his mouth, it was difficult to speak.So he had no choice but to look at Fang Xuanling puzzled, blinking his eyes, intending to ask him what he meant.
At this time, Fang Yi also put down his chopsticks and lost his temper.
Fang Baozhu couldn't help laughing out loud, put down her chopsticks, and explained to Lu Shi: "I probably want to eat my mother's Fengjianxiao and Guomenxiang. Third Brother, he has been looking forward to it all day, but in the end he didn't have it at night."
Fang Xuanling agreed, and turned to ask his wife, "Why not?"
Lu Shi chewed the food in his mouth gracefully, continued to pick up vegetables and did not speak.
The same is true for Fang Yizhi, with a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't hear anything.
Fang Yi looked at his mother, turned his head suddenly and looked at his elder brother, then frowned and reported to Fang Xuanling: "Aye, it must be the ghost of A Niang and elder brother."
Fang Baozhu originally wanted to eat well, but after listening to the third brother's words, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.
Fang Yi glared at her: "It seems that my sister is also an insider."
"Tell me, what's going on, my wind disappears?" Fang Xuanling asked Lu Shi in a good-tempered manner.
Lu Shi glared at him: "Why is your wind disappearing? It's something I made, and I can give it to whoever I like."
After finishing speaking, Lu Shi looked at Fang Yiru again, "Will you father and son eat, or go away if you don't eat, the three of us mothers still have to eat."
Fang Yi reluctantly picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.
Fang Xuanling thought about it, he should eat, otherwise he might not even have to drink water at night.
After the meal, Fang Xuanling reluctantly asked Lu Shi what was going on, and only then did he learn that his "additional dishes" were taken to the princess.
"Which princess?"
"Ah, I know, it must be Princess Jinyang who has always been in touch with elder brother recently." Fang Yi sighed with a strange look in his eyes.
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he looked at his eldest son worriedly, his eyes full of doubts.
Lu Shi was happy, and emphasized again, "Princess really has vision."
For a princess who has eaten delicacies from mountains and seas prepared by the top chefs in the palace, to be so obsessed with her craftsmanship is a great affirmation of her.Nothing else, just because of this, Lu Shi likes her very much.Besides, when she first met her, Lu Shi had a good impression of her, she was not the kind of princess who didn't deserve her name.These days, all the princesses claim to be gentle and virtuous to the outside world, but in reality, you have to see with your own eyes how they are.
Fang Xuanling glanced at Lu Shi, "Don't talk nonsense."
Fang Baozhu said happily: "Then will there be another princess to be my sister-in-law in the future? That's amazing, I can walk sideways when I go out in the future. If anyone dares to bully me, I will say that I have two princess sister-in-laws to support me."
"Is there anyone else who dares to bully you?" Fang Yi was puzzled, "Tsk tsk, who is dying, tell me quickly."
"Shut up! Why is no one bullying me, just the one from the Wei family, I don't like it."
"Wei Erniang?" Fang Yi asked.
Fang Yi reminded the third brother directly, "It's my younger sister who doesn't like her."
Fang Yi suddenly realized, and pointed to Fang Baozhu, "You are still the best. Seeing people displease you, but saying that they bully you."
"I didn't. I just watched her bully others. I couldn't see it, but I didn't dare to bully me. Who am I, she can't afford to bully me." Fang Baozhu murmured softly.
Fang Yi stared at her: "If you don't like it, stay away from her."
Fang Baozhu nodded, and listened carefully to elder brother's instruction.
"Go, don't make trouble." Fang Xuanling dismissed the children, leaving only Fang Yizhi, and asked him what he meant.
"It's boring." Fang Yi said straight.
"Damn you if you're not interested. I've never seen you care so much about anyone. You treat your sister worse than her." Fang Xuanling frowned and thought about it, then looked at Fang Yizhi with deep eyes, "You If you have any lofty ideas, your mother and I will not stop you. But you have to be clear about what you have said and the fact that our family has already had a princess."
"It's okay, Yi Zhi really wants to marry this one, and drive the other one in the family crazy, I'm so happy." Anyway, there was no one in the room, so Lu Shi said it without hesitation.
Fang Xuanling pointed at her angrily, "What about Hu Qin?"
"Look at her temperament, something will happen sooner or later. As I said earlier, if you hire the second child a job outside, and send the couple far away, it will be better. It will be troublesome in Beijing sooner or later. You must not let it go!" Lu sighed road.
"I've never seen you as a mother like this. It seems that the last love is not your son." Fang Xuanling complained, he was indeed moved with compassion and reluctant to part with it.The second child is actually quite obedient, as long as he supervises and teaches a lot, there shouldn't be any problems.
"I agree with what my mother said." Fang Yi said straight.
Fang Xuanling was surprised to see Fang Yizhi. In the past, he would not intervene in this kind of matter, but asked him on his own initiative. He always said "but it's up to the parents".Today is strange.
Lu Shi was very happy, with his eldest son supporting him, he became more and more competitive with Fang Xuanling, and asked him to think carefully.
"At this moment, she was reprimanded by the sage, and she was not allowed to enter the palace. You suggest at this time, if the sage agrees, there will be no change. It is a very good thing."
Fang Xuanling looked at Lu Shi helplessly, "If she knows that your mother-in-law despises her so much, she still doesn't know how she will feel."
"It's not that I really dislike her. If she does something good, I'll be happy too." Lu Shi sighed, "I still regret it. After the second child became a servant of her, his temper became worse and he was not as obedient as before. Mess around with that princess. I can see that the reputation you earned for the Fang family will be ruined by the two of them sooner or later."
"Nonsense, how can you talk about your son and daughter-in-law like that." Fang Xuanling scolded, warning Lu Shi to remember that in the future, he is not allowed to say such things a second time.
"They didn't dare when my father was around." Fang Yizhi added another sentence unhurriedly.
Fang Xuanling was choked suddenly.
At this time, Lu Shi started to cry sadly, and said to Fang Xuanling: "We who are half-buried in the soil, what are we afraid of, we are afraid of hurting the children."
"The two of you are singing together, did you agree?" Fang Xuanling smiled helplessly, and waved his hand to tell Lu Shi that he knew. I also know that if you have made up your mind, you should be cautious. It depends on how you will take care of yourself in the future."
"Thank you, father." Fang Yi bowed straightly and left.
Seeing that Mrs. Lu was still angry over there, Fang Xuanling immediately let go of soft words, "They are both our children, which one do you think I don't feel sorry for? The last love is also the meat that fell from your stomach!"
"It's the meat that fell from me. Naturally, I feel distressed, but there is a right and wrong in everything. If he is disobedient and kills someone, I can't cover it up. My child is a child. Could it be that the person who is hurt and bullied by him is not someone else?" child?"
"He didn't kill anyone, either."
"If you don't care about it, you won't be far from that step!" Lu Shi said fiercely, then stood up and warned Fang Xuanling, "It's okay to love, but not to spoil it. It's a knife that will kill the child. That's right, Mr. Know better than me."
"Understood, what the lady said is very true. Then can I eat 'Feng Jian Xiao' tomorrow?"
"Not in the mood to do it."
"Then what if Princess Jinyang wants to eat?"
"Then I must be in the mood."
Lu Shi glanced at Fang Xuanling, raised his chin and let out a cold snort, then flung his sleeves and left.
You can get by with other things, except eating.
Fang Xuanling twirled her beard seriously, and felt that she really had to think about it and let Princess Jinyang be her daughter-in-law.
The next day.
Li Mingda gave the recipe written by Fang Yizhi to the chef, and asked them to make some.Li Mingda gave it to his father and brothers and sisters, and Li Mingda also gave some to Concubine Wei Gui.After all, Concubine Wei had cooperated with her when investigating the case, so I want to thank her.
Princess Li Yumin of Changshan, and Li Hui'an, who had just been canonized as Princess of Hengshan, liked Fengjianxiao and Guomenxiang, both dishes and desserts, and they both liked them very much. The two sisters held hands to expressly thank Li Mingda.
Li Yumin was better, she had always been careless and heartless, and as soon as she arrived at Li Mingda's place, she started playing around, pulling Tian Hanshan to jump up and down with her.
Li Hui'an was still sad about the death of Princess Changle, and she couldn't help crying when she and Li Mingda mentioned it.
"I want to go out of the palace to see Fifth Sister for the last time, but Aye doesn't allow me to go, saying that everyone is gone. I am so young, I will be overly sad if I go there, and I will hurt my body instead. If Fifth Sister under Nine Springs Knowing that, she will be sad."
"Aye is right. If Fifth Sister sees you like this, she will be sad. She just went to live in another place, a place you can't see. It may not be worse than before." Li Mingda explained road.
"Really? What kind of life will Fifth Sister live?"
"Near the mountains and the sea, watch the sunrise and sunset, and the flowers bloom and wither."
"Hey, isn't this how the gods live?" Li Hui'an asked naively.
Li Mingda nodded, "Probably so, if that's the life she yearns for."
"The Fifth Sister is so happy. I actually envy such a life, but I have to be with the Nineteenth Sister." Li Hui'an said, and hugged Li Mingda tightly with a smile.
Li Yumin had had enough tossing and sweating profusely, while Tian Hanshan was panting from exhaustion looking at Li Yumin.
"Your lord, Princess Changshan was about to climb the tree just now, but she was persuaded to come down by slaves."
"Where are you going, I will go too." Li Yumin listened to half of the conversation, but insisted on joining in the fun, and then occupied Li Mingda's other arm.
"I'm not going anywhere, just here, you two, let me go." Li Mingda moved his arms, but the two younger sisters stuck to her body like two octopus.
Li Mingda: "If you don't let go, the two of you are not allowed to see the wind and see it go away in the future."
Li Hui'an and Li Yumin immediately let go.
Li Shimin heard that the two daughters were also here, so he called them over.Speaking of the dim sum that Li Mingda sent, Li Shimin was full of praise, "It's just right to serve with your peach juice."
Li Shimin then asked the source of the two dishes,
"Father asked someone to investigate the cause of Princess Runan's death a few days ago." Li Mingda said this suddenly, intending to test Chang Sun Chong, "Could there be an inside story about her death?"
Chang Sun Chong didn't hide anything, "Back then, your fifth sister was very arrogant among the sisters because of her holy favor. Princess Runan was the most unconvinced about this, she wentssip about her behind her back, and she found out, so she She led someone to pour ice water on her and bullied her. Who would have thought that the person would die after catching a cold."
Li Mingda: "What did Fifth Sister tell you?"
"No, it's another person."
Li Mingda immediately understood that this "other person" probably refers to Princess Suian.
Li Mingda knew that Changsun Chong needed to be quiet at the moment, so he left without disturbing him.At this moment, I can't say anything else. Before leaving, I just asked him to think more about it.
Changsun Chong agreed, watched Li Mingda go, and a servant from the other side came to inform him in a low voice that Fang Dalang had arrived.
Chang Sun Chong raised his head slightly, glanced at the direction Li Mingda was leaving, and turned around and hurried into the mansion until his figure disappeared.
Fang Yizhi stood on the mourning hall with hands behind his hands, looking at the empty coffin in the center of the mourning hall.All the idlers in the house have already been taken away by the housekeeper.
As soon as Changsun Chong entered the door, he tilted his head to signal his subordinates and closed the door behind him.
"Why did you come here?" Chang Sun Chong frowned.
"I thought you would be happier in this place," Fang Yi looked straight at the empty coffin, "Now that he's gone, you should feel at ease."
"How comfortable, if your future wife elopes with someone, will you be happy?"
"I'm different from you, I would rather lack than abuse." Fang Yi said straight.
"It's easy to say, how many people can't help themselves in this world." Chang Sun Chong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling helplessly.
"It's only the weak who say that."
The eldest grandson was stunned, and turned to look at Fang Yizhi again, "You have changed, you are different from before."
"It used to be small."
Fang Yizhi followed his elder Sun Chong to leave the mourning hall, and the two sat down by the waterside, drinking and chatting.
"In the eyes of outsiders, it's not good for you to drink and celebrate just after the princess leaves." Fang Yizhi reminded.
"After all, the saint knows everything. Now he only feels that he owes me. Not to mention that no one has reported it, even if there is, the saint will not care about me." After Changsun Chong said, he drank the wine in his glass.
Then he poured another glass of wine and raised his glass to Fang Yi, thanking him for helping him.
"This is already the best way to get the best of both worlds, thank you so much."
"But you regretted it last night." Fang Yi stared at him.
Changsun Chong nodded, and then laughed at himself for being too soft-hearted.
"The emperor's favour, but not everyone can handle it firmly. It is not an example for a princess to be proud of her favour." Fang Yizhi said again.
"But as you said, there are many sisters, and they are always willing to compare and compete. She is not all bad, she is very talented and intelligent. If you only talk about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry, I can really talk to her Very happy, at that moment, people think she is a good spouse. However, she is too domineering, especially for the sisters. She has always regarded herself as the eldest daughter. I only hope that all the princesses can listen to her and respect her. It's best not to say anything else. She doesn't like someone to win favor and surpass her, and she doesn't like someone to grab her valued things. I have thought about the things about Princess Runan and Princess Sui'an back then. Sensible, if she knows how to repent, admit her mistakes, forgive her, and live with her well. But after all these years, her temper has not changed, she even cares about her own sister, you taught me how to be willing to get along with her."
"Sister, you mean Jinyang?" Fang Yi asked directly.
Changsun Chong nodded, "She never speaks out of jealousy, but pretends to be generous on the surface. She likes to think of herself as the elder sister and picks on her faults. But who can do everything? Besides, how old was Princess Jinyang? I heard it occasionally, It is pity that Princess Jinyang is innocent, so she will be more gentle with her, who knows that this will make her even more uncomfortable."
Fang Yi smiled bluntly, and comforted his grandson, Chong everything is over.He then raised his glass and drank the wine in his hand, and then said goodbye to him.
The eldest grandson stood up, corrected his posture, and thanked him solemnly. "I owe you a great favor. If there is anything to do in the future, no matter how I go through fire and water, I will still be sent by you."
"Just take your two children to live safely. If anything happens, it's best for everyone to be safe." Fang Yi straight up helped the eldest Sun Chong, and told him not to let himself down.
"Father never helped me back then. Brother Yizhi's kindness to me, can you still use words? Anyway, this sentence is here, I will wait for you at any time, thank you again and again." Chang Sun Chong saluted again, and personally sent it to Fangyi. Just get on the horse and you're done.
……
On the way back, Li Mingda had no intention of riding a horse, so He Tian Hanshan went back in a carriage.On the way, he watched the scenery outside the window without saying a word.
Now this is the third time that your lord has gone to Princess Changle's mansion, Tian Hanshan is very worried that his princess will be sad about leaving for Princess Changle.Tian Hanshan kept telling Li Mingda some interesting things that happened in the palace recently, but when he finished speaking, seeing that the princess still had a blank expression and did not respond, Tian Hanshan shut up honestly, knowing that what he said would hurt the princess. Saying it has no effect at all.
"It's as bright as the night moon shining on Qionglin, and as rotten as the morning glow reflecting Zhupu." Li Mingda suddenly read.
Tian Hanshan was a little dazed, and suddenly trembled when he heard the sound, "What is the princess talking about?"
"When Fifth Sister was born, Aye hugged her for the first time and was extremely touched, and then said these two sentences. It is said that Fifth Sister's name Lizhi came from this." Li Mingda said.
"Yes, I remembered it too. This word was spread in the palace before. Princess Changle is the first daughter born to the empress, and the saint loves her very much. It's a pity that Fang died young today." Tian Han Shan then said sadly, "The dead are gone, the princess must not be too sad, it's all gone."
"Yes, it's all over." Li Mingda agreed, and then asked Tian Hanshan very energetically, "What did you just say, Concubine Yang is pregnant?"
"Yes, Fang Qirui hasn't delivered the news yet, so I chose the opportunity to tell it today." Tian Hanshan pretended to be mysterious and whispered to Li Mingda, "Because I have a good relationship with Fang Gonggong, I know this news in advance. Your lord, Is the slave very powerful?"
"Excellent. Then I will also prepare some congratulatory gifts to send over. You can prepare them, but don't send things that are imported." Li Mingda instructed.
Tian Hanshan agreed.
When Li Ming reached the Qianhua Gate, he saw Li Tai was circling on the spot with his hands behind his back.As soon as he heard that she was back, Li Tai rushed over, apologized to her with a smile, and then led her into the Lizheng Hall.
"I said why are you waiting for me? I wanted to give Aye an explanation." Li Mingda deliberately teased him.
Li Tai was about to explain, when Fang Qirui came out, he saw the two hurriedly invited them inside to meet the saint.
Li Shimin was standing in front of the desk and splashing ink, when he heard that they entered the door, he didn't raise his eyes, and directly called his brothers and sisters to come and see his writing.
Li Tai and Li Mingda went to Li Shimin's side to read.
After Li Shimin finished writing, he smiled and asked him how the two of them were doing.
When Li Tai saw it, he hurriedly said, "Having plenty of muscle and strength, like a thirsty deer rushing to the spring, it is absolutely wonderful."
Li Shimin smiled, turned his gaze to Li Mingda, and asked her what she thought.
Li Mingda glanced at Li Shimin, then at the word, but didn't speak.
"You kid, are you having a temper tantrum with Aye?" Li Shimin asked.
"The words are good words, full of sadness." Li Mingda said.
Li Shimin's face suddenly turned cold when he heard this.
Seeing this, Li Tai was a little anxious, and pulled Li Mingda's sleeve, motioning her to quickly take back the words.
Li Shimin hurriedly reprimanded Li Tai not to bully his sister, "She sees it more seriously than you."
Li Tai was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly apologized to Li Mingda.
Li Shimin saw that their brother and sister had a good relationship, and sighed: "Sorrow is nothing but sorrow, but seeing you brother and sister is very gratifying."
Li Tai hurriedly persuaded his father a few words, and asked Li Shimin's calligraphy to go back, saying that he wanted to study and study, "I usually think that I am good at calligraphy, and I have some talent for appreciation, but now I know that I am self-willed, and I am not as thorough as my sister. You should reflect on yourself." .”
Li Shimin loves Li Tai's modesty, very much like him.Because of Li Tai's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Princess Changle, so he told the two brothers and sisters: "You all remember that everyone has shortcomings, and it is the greatest good thing to correct mistakes. For example, Aye, although As an emperor, he is often persuaded by Wei Zheng and learns to reflect on himself and correct his mistakes. Remember, don’t act willfully and self-willed, otherwise the evil things you do today will eventually be rewarded in the future.”
Li Shimin deliberately used simple words to tell his children, hoping that they could understand the purest meaning he expressed.
Li Tai and Li Mingda hurriedly agreed and said they would remember it.
Li Shimin sighed, and stopped pretending to be happy with his children, and sent them away.Then he suddenly remembered something, and called the two of them to stop again.
"Today we said to go to the cliff, what's the matter?"
Li Tai glanced at Li Mingda.
Li Mingda said honestly: "I was in a bad mood and didn't want to go, so my fourth brother dragged me around Chang'an City for a while."
"It's good to relax, if Aye is free some other day, I will go with you too." Li Shimin said.
"That's good, someone paid for dinner." Li Mingda sighed.
Li Tai sneered and said: "You are still short of money, when will Aye be short of you?"
Li Shimin also laughed, he didn't expect his daughter to care about money.
"To tell you the truth about Aye and fourth brother, I heard after I came back that Aye intends to find a son-in-law for me. I don't want to marry, but Aye refuses to let me. Then I can only plan for the future. Since I can't rely on Aye, this big tree is enjoying the shade, and I will start saving money from now on." After Li Mingda finished speaking, he stared at Li Tai's waist, "Fourth brother, your jade pendant is not bad, can you give it to me?"
Seeing this, Li Shimin was amused by his daughter and laughed.Li Tai also couldn't stop laughing, hurriedly tore off the jade pendant around his waist, and handed it to Li Mingda.
"If you still want it, Fourth Brother still has it. You can go to Wei Wang's Mansion to get it at another time." Li Tai said.
"Then I'll drive two cars."
Li Shimin laughed again, and immediately gave Li Mingda two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and ten thousand bolts of silk.
"Aye, I don't dare to ask for it." Li Mingda said.
"Didn't you just say you like money, why don't you want it now?" Li Shimin asked puzzled.
"That's the money I like to get. Aye suddenly gave so much, and Wei Gong will definitely have a disagreement when he turns around. I feel guilty about taking this money, and I dare not take it." Li Mingda moved closer to Li Shimin, and said quietly, "How about Give them separately, a little at a time, inconspicuous."
"Look at this girl who has a lot of eyes, but Aye likes it." Li Shimin laughed, and then told Fang Qirui to remember this matter, and give some every few days, so that it is less conspicuous.
Fang Qirui saw that the sage, who had been in a dull mood all day, was amused by Princess Jinyang's words, and he was also happy, so he quickly agreed.
After the two brothers and sisters left, Li Shimin couldn't help feeling: "My son has grown up and is sensible."
Fang Qirui knew the king's heart well, and he also sighed, "The princess is really more understanding."
Li Shimin glanced at him with a smile and nodded.He already knew what his daughter said just now, but he just said that to see himself sad and to make him happy.She is well-intentioned, and Li Shimin naturally wants to appreciate her.
With such a sensible daughter in front of me, those regrets and irritability were finally relieved a little, and my mood relaxed a lot.
Besides, after Li Tai came out of the Lizheng Hall, he turned around and flicked Li Mingda on the forehead.
Li Mingda covered his head and shouted in pain, "Why is fourth brother bullying me?"
"Ghost spirit." Li Tai sighed, and nodded Li Mingda's nose, "Don't think I don't know your little thoughts."
"What's the matter?" Li Mingda tilted his head and looked directly at him.
Li Tai took a deep breath, pointed to Li Mingda, "Okay, use it more in the future!"
Li Mingda chuckled, and said to Li Tai: "Fourth brother is even better, you can use what you have learned. Well, I was amused by you too, thank you for today!"
"Brothers and sisters, thank you for what you say. We have to go to the cliff another day. Whenever you want to go, just send someone to tell me. Even if the fourth brother is not free, he will make time for you."
Li Mingda was even more grateful in his heart and thanked him.
Li Tai thought for a while and asked Li Mingda, "Concubine Yang is pregnant, did you know?"
"I know, it's common for concubines to be pregnant, why does Fourth Brother suddenly ask about this?"
"It's nothing. I heard that her pregnancy is not easy. She almost lost it two days ago. The sage didn't know it. I guess I will know later, so I need to be nervous. I will let you know in advance. Be careful and don't cause trouble."
"Understood." Li Mingda smiled.
Li Tai just said goodbye to Li Mingda.
In the main hall in that room, Fang Qirui and his father reported about Gao Zhengfeng's disappearance.
Li Shimin said in a dull tone, "This Gao Jia Erlang is a child who is not sensible, and she is also confused."
Fang Qirui sighed, "Actually, the eldest son-in-law came here last night to intercede for the princess, why the saint didn't see him, there is still room for redemption."
"How many times, how many times do you want to indulge her? In the past, she was self-willed when she was young, but now she is already a mother of two children, but she still plays these childish tricks. How can I not be annoying! If this continues She is afraid that she will poke a hole in the sky. The queen under the nine springs will definitely not feel at ease when she sees her like this. It is better to let her learn the lesson quickly and let her go as she wants now. Without her status, she You can’t turn the sky around, you won’t have to regret it, and you can keep your reputation.”
Li Shimin immediately instructed Fang Qirui not to neglect Li Lizhi's affairs, to hold everything grandly, to choose the best words for the princess's epitaph, and not to slander her records in the history books.
"Just bury an empty coffin in Zhaoling first, and fill it in with her body after a hundred years."
Fang Qirui agreed.
Li Shimin sighed, and then asked Fang Qirui if the courtyard she built on the South China Sea was impressive, and if he had enough money.
"According to Bai Lu, the eldest maid who is under trial next to him, the preparations have been made a few years ago, which should be enough. His Majesty has sent someone to follow up and check, and there will be news in the near future. If it doesn't work, let's quietly help him buy it. The magistrates over there also said hello, and they are not allowed to provoke the princess's house casually." Fang Qirui replied.
Li Shimin: "At that time, my breath was tight in my chest. Seeing her so unbelievable, I was so angry that I..."
Li Shimin frowned fiercely, resting his hands on his forehead irritably, not knowing whether his actions were right or wrong.
"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. In the final analysis, this death was caused by herself." Fang Qirui couldn't understand why Princess Changle had to make such a fuss even though she was living a prosperous and prosperous life.Perhaps this is the reason for the so-called 'people are never satisfied'.
To comfort Li Shimin, Fang Qirui specially brought him a glass of freshly made peach juice, added more jujube and sugar, it must be full of taste.
When Li Shimin drank, he naturally thought of Sizi, thinking of the child's sensibility, so he didn't speak in advance.At this time, it was heard that Concubine Yang was pregnant, she almost had a miscarriage two days ago, but now she survived.Li Shimin was both scared and happy, and turned to blame Fang Qirui for not telling him such an important matter.
"I just found out that Concubine Yang was worried that His Majesty would be too sad for Princess Changle's death, and she didn't dare to let His Majesty know and worry about her, so she suppressed the news and waited two days before calling someone to report it." Fang Qirui said.
Without saying a word, Li Shimin hurriedly got up to visit, and asked Fang Qirui to prepare all the most valuable tonics in the palace and send them over.
The next day.
Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, the fragrance of vegetables wafted from Shangshi Bureau.Li Mingda sniffed vigorously, smelling that there was nothing she wanted for dinner, his eyes dimmed immediately.
At this moment, Tian Hanshan was happily reporting the names of the dishes to your lord, such as barbecue, grilled shrimp, etc., but after he finished speaking, he found that your lord's expression was indifferent, and he was not interested at all.
"If your master doesn't like it, tell me what you like to eat, and I will order the Food Bureau to prepare it."
Li Mingda grabbed the book in his hand and shook his head. She had no appetite at first, but suddenly remembered something.
"When I went to Fang's house that time, I tasted something. It tasted very good. It seemed to be fried with meat wrapped in dough. You can ask the cook what kind of dish it is. Cook it for me." Li Mingda said .
Tian Hanxi took the order, so he sent someone to ask, and he replied after a while, shaking his head in confusion.
"You can roll the meat with dough and let them fry it to try." Tian Hanshan suggested.
"But it's different. It's not just plain skin. I tasted it and there are other flavors. How come the imperial chef in the palace didn't know it. I thought it was just a small snack, and everyone could make it."
Tian Hanshan sneered, "Perhaps the dish was created by the Fang family, so those royal chefs don't know about it."
"Then don't eat, just drink some peach juice." Li Mingda said without appetite.Then he ordered Tian Hanshan to set up a small table under the sycamore tree at the back of the house, so she could read a book in the shade under the tree while it was still dark.
Tian Hanshan agreed, ordered someone to do it, and at the same time had a plan in mind, then he went to find Cheng Chubi, begging him to go to Fang's house to see if he could find out the recipe for this thing.
It was almost dinner time, Fang Yizhi suddenly heard that Cheng Chubi was coming to see him, and he was puzzled.Later they met and asked why, and learned that it was Tian Hanshan who came to ask for recipes for the princess's appetite, Fang Yizhi did not dare to neglect, and ordered Cheng Chubi to rest in the house to wait, while he immediately went to find his mother.
Upon hearing Fang Yizhi's words, Mrs. Lu said happily: "Princess read those two small snacks I made? I didn't say that, Princess Jinyang really has vision. My cooking is said to be the best in the world, and there is really no second." Yes, it’s the only one in the world, and you can’t find it anywhere else. Back then, you, Aye, were greedy for my skills, so you didn’t dare to look for people outside, otherwise he won’t have anything good to eat in the future!”
"Mom, hurry up and cook, we're still waiting over there."
"It's a waste of effort to do it first, and it will take a long time to eat. I just made some this morning, but I lacked a step of frying. Let them take it into the palace and ask the imperial chef to fry it. It's ready to eat. This deep-fried The food must be deep-fried to be delicious, and it must not be out of date, you have to tell them well, do you know?" After Lu said, he ordered people to put everything in a food box and gave it to Cheng Chubi with.
Fang Yizhi also followed what Lu Shi said, and wrote down the method in detail on paper, and gave it to Cheng Chubi.
After Cheng Chubi thanked him, he hurriedly rode a fast horse into the palace.
Li Mingda was reading a book seriously, when he suddenly smelled the fragrance, his eyes lit up, looking around for the fragrance, and after a while, he saw the palace maid bringing up two plates of fragrant things.
Li Mingda saw that it was exactly what she wanted, and asked Tian Hanshu where he came from.
"I'm the master of my own accord, so I'll trouble Guard Cheng to go to Fang's house." Tian Hanshan admitted honestly, "Madam Lu made this by herself, and she said that there were some leftovers, and they were fried by the imperial chef, just enough to give to the nobles. main."
"Just some left? It's a lie." Li Mingda smiled, she appreciated Lu's kindness, and asked Tian Han to prepare iced grape juice, which was just sour and sweet.
Tian Hanshan agreed, and he will do it now.
Under the luxuriant sycamore tree, there was a straw mat, a small table was placed on the mat, and a soft cushion beside the small table. Li Mingda was sitting on the soft cushion at the moment, holding his chin, reading while eating.
Take a bite, it is sweet and crisp, with the aroma of tender meat inside, which disappears immediately in the mouth, and the lingering fragrance fills the mouth and nose.
Li Mingda ate half of it before suddenly remembering to ask if there are names for these two dishes.
"The wind disappears," Tian Hanshan said first, pointing to the skin-wrapped dish, and then pointed to another plate, "The fragrance of the door."
"How do you make this thing?" Li Mingda asked Tian Hanshan to try it.
Tian Hanshan took a sip, sighed that it was delicious, carefully considered the taste inside, and then suddenly realized and said to Li Mingda: "It must not be just bread wrapped in meat and fried together."
"nonsense."
Li Mingda smelled the skin of the noodles, and took another bite, "The skin tastes like glutinous rice, sweet, and a little bit of fermented rice. The minced meat inside is also special, chewy, crispy, and there are sesame seeds inside. Very delicious."
Tian Hanshu suddenly remembered and slapped himself on the forehead. "Look at this slave's memory, Fang Dalang wrote down how to do it."
Tian Hanshan then opened the prescription, "Sure enough, as your lord said, the skin of this wind and disappearance is freshly ground glutinous rice powder, and then kneaded into a dough with honey juice, fermented rice, and sugar, rolled with crispy minced meat, and a little Roast it, hang it up to dry, and then throw it in a frying pan piece by piece.
Guomenxiang is relatively simple, that is, cut all kinds of rice skins, noodles, dried meat, and dried fruits that can be fried into thin slices, and put them in boiling oil and scald them immediately. "
"Don't look at the simplicity, such a frying, all kinds of aromas, mixed in a plate to eat, sweet and sour, crispy, different tastes, the taste will feel fresh, not monotonous and boring." Li Mingda sighed, " Mrs. Lu must be a good cook. Some dishes seem simple, but it is not easy at all to figure out a new process."
Tian Hanshan agreed, and also admired Mrs. Lu, it seems that this jealousy jar is too famous, and it really covered up Mrs. Lu's other virtuous talents.
"We need to justify her name. Besides, although a man has three wives and four concubines, there is no reason for a woman to be loyal. I think Mrs. Lu is right to be jealous. You men should also be loyal to women."
"What your lord said is very true!" Tian Hanshan immediately responded, anyway, he has no objection, whatever your lord says is right.
Li Mingda was happy, and continued to eat this while reading a book, paired with a glass of iced grape juice, it was an excellent enjoyment.
……
Liang Guogong's mansion.
Fang Xuanling, who had been busy for a whole day, finally made it home. Sitting down to have a meal with the family was an excellent enjoyment for him.
The second son couldn't come back from the Princess Mansion, so the so-called 'family' at the moment consisted of Fang Xuanling and Lu Shi, daughter Fang Baozhu, eldest son Fang Yizhi, and third son Fang Yize.
After Fang Yizhi and Fang Yize paid their respects to their parents, they sat down at the table one by one with Fang Xuanling's "sit down" permission, and then picked up chopsticks to eat.
The so-called eat without talking, in a family like Liang Guogong, it should be the same.
But today, from the moment Fang Yi picked up the chopsticks, he was embarrassed and wanted to say something, but because of the big brother's look, he kept silently eating.
Fang Baozhu saw the third brother like this, she pursed her lips and secretly smiled, and silently lowered her head to eat.
Fang Xuanling felt the small movements of the two children, and then looked at the dishes on the table, and realized that something was wrong, and then put down the chopsticks in dissatisfaction.
Because Lu Shi had something in his mouth, it was difficult to speak.So he had no choice but to look at Fang Xuanling puzzled, blinking his eyes, intending to ask him what he meant.
At this time, Fang Yi also put down his chopsticks and lost his temper.
Fang Baozhu couldn't help laughing out loud, put down her chopsticks, and explained to Lu Shi: "I probably want to eat my mother's Fengjianxiao and Guomenxiang. Third Brother, he has been looking forward to it all day, but in the end he didn't have it at night."
Fang Xuanling agreed, and turned to ask his wife, "Why not?"
Lu Shi chewed the food in his mouth gracefully, continued to pick up vegetables and did not speak.
The same is true for Fang Yizhi, with a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't hear anything.
Fang Yi looked at his mother, turned his head suddenly and looked at his elder brother, then frowned and reported to Fang Xuanling: "Aye, it must be the ghost of A Niang and elder brother."
Fang Baozhu originally wanted to eat well, but after listening to the third brother's words, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.
Fang Yi glared at her: "It seems that my sister is also an insider."
"Tell me, what's going on, my wind disappears?" Fang Xuanling asked Lu Shi in a good-tempered manner.
Lu Shi glared at him: "Why is your wind disappearing? It's something I made, and I can give it to whoever I like."
After finishing speaking, Lu Shi looked at Fang Yiru again, "Will you father and son eat, or go away if you don't eat, the three of us mothers still have to eat."
Fang Yi reluctantly picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.
Fang Xuanling thought about it, he should eat, otherwise he might not even have to drink water at night.
After the meal, Fang Xuanling reluctantly asked Lu Shi what was going on, and only then did he learn that his "additional dishes" were taken to the princess.
"Which princess?"
"Ah, I know, it must be Princess Jinyang who has always been in touch with elder brother recently." Fang Yi sighed with a strange look in his eyes.
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he looked at his eldest son worriedly, his eyes full of doubts.
Lu Shi was happy, and emphasized again, "Princess really has vision."
For a princess who has eaten delicacies from mountains and seas prepared by the top chefs in the palace, to be so obsessed with her craftsmanship is a great affirmation of her.Nothing else, just because of this, Lu Shi likes her very much.Besides, when she first met her, Lu Shi had a good impression of her, she was not the kind of princess who didn't deserve her name.These days, all the princesses claim to be gentle and virtuous to the outside world, but in reality, you have to see with your own eyes how they are.
Fang Xuanling glanced at Lu Shi, "Don't talk nonsense."
Fang Baozhu said happily: "Then will there be another princess to be my sister-in-law in the future? That's amazing, I can walk sideways when I go out in the future. If anyone dares to bully me, I will say that I have two princess sister-in-laws to support me."
"Is there anyone else who dares to bully you?" Fang Yi was puzzled, "Tsk tsk, who is dying, tell me quickly."
"Shut up! Why is no one bullying me, just the one from the Wei family, I don't like it."
"Wei Erniang?" Fang Yi asked.
Fang Yi reminded the third brother directly, "It's my younger sister who doesn't like her."
Fang Yi suddenly realized, and pointed to Fang Baozhu, "You are still the best. Seeing people displease you, but saying that they bully you."
"I didn't. I just watched her bully others. I couldn't see it, but I didn't dare to bully me. Who am I, she can't afford to bully me." Fang Baozhu murmured softly.
Fang Yi stared at her: "If you don't like it, stay away from her."
Fang Baozhu nodded, and listened carefully to elder brother's instruction.
"Go, don't make trouble." Fang Xuanling dismissed the children, leaving only Fang Yizhi, and asked him what he meant.
"It's boring." Fang Yi said straight.
"Damn you if you're not interested. I've never seen you care so much about anyone. You treat your sister worse than her." Fang Xuanling frowned and thought about it, then looked at Fang Yizhi with deep eyes, "You If you have any lofty ideas, your mother and I will not stop you. But you have to be clear about what you have said and the fact that our family has already had a princess."
"It's okay, Yi Zhi really wants to marry this one, and drive the other one in the family crazy, I'm so happy." Anyway, there was no one in the room, so Lu Shi said it without hesitation.
Fang Xuanling pointed at her angrily, "What about Hu Qin?"
"Look at her temperament, something will happen sooner or later. As I said earlier, if you hire the second child a job outside, and send the couple far away, it will be better. It will be troublesome in Beijing sooner or later. You must not let it go!" Lu sighed road.
"I've never seen you as a mother like this. It seems that the last love is not your son." Fang Xuanling complained, he was indeed moved with compassion and reluctant to part with it.The second child is actually quite obedient, as long as he supervises and teaches a lot, there shouldn't be any problems.
"I agree with what my mother said." Fang Yi said straight.
Fang Xuanling was surprised to see Fang Yizhi. In the past, he would not intervene in this kind of matter, but asked him on his own initiative. He always said "but it's up to the parents".Today is strange.
Lu Shi was very happy, with his eldest son supporting him, he became more and more competitive with Fang Xuanling, and asked him to think carefully.
"At this moment, she was reprimanded by the sage, and she was not allowed to enter the palace. You suggest at this time, if the sage agrees, there will be no change. It is a very good thing."
Fang Xuanling looked at Lu Shi helplessly, "If she knows that your mother-in-law despises her so much, she still doesn't know how she will feel."
"It's not that I really dislike her. If she does something good, I'll be happy too." Lu Shi sighed, "I still regret it. After the second child became a servant of her, his temper became worse and he was not as obedient as before. Mess around with that princess. I can see that the reputation you earned for the Fang family will be ruined by the two of them sooner or later."
"Nonsense, how can you talk about your son and daughter-in-law like that." Fang Xuanling scolded, warning Lu Shi to remember that in the future, he is not allowed to say such things a second time.
"They didn't dare when my father was around." Fang Yizhi added another sentence unhurriedly.
Fang Xuanling was choked suddenly.
At this time, Lu Shi started to cry sadly, and said to Fang Xuanling: "We who are half-buried in the soil, what are we afraid of, we are afraid of hurting the children."
"The two of you are singing together, did you agree?" Fang Xuanling smiled helplessly, and waved his hand to tell Lu Shi that he knew. I also know that if you have made up your mind, you should be cautious. It depends on how you will take care of yourself in the future."
"Thank you, father." Fang Yi bowed straightly and left.
Seeing that Mrs. Lu was still angry over there, Fang Xuanling immediately let go of soft words, "They are both our children, which one do you think I don't feel sorry for? The last love is also the meat that fell from your stomach!"
"It's the meat that fell from me. Naturally, I feel distressed, but there is a right and wrong in everything. If he is disobedient and kills someone, I can't cover it up. My child is a child. Could it be that the person who is hurt and bullied by him is not someone else?" child?"
"He didn't kill anyone, either."
"If you don't care about it, you won't be far from that step!" Lu Shi said fiercely, then stood up and warned Fang Xuanling, "It's okay to love, but not to spoil it. It's a knife that will kill the child. That's right, Mr. Know better than me."
"Understood, what the lady said is very true. Then can I eat 'Feng Jian Xiao' tomorrow?"
"Not in the mood to do it."
"Then what if Princess Jinyang wants to eat?"
"Then I must be in the mood."
Lu Shi glanced at Fang Xuanling, raised his chin and let out a cold snort, then flung his sleeves and left.
You can get by with other things, except eating.
Fang Xuanling twirled her beard seriously, and felt that she really had to think about it and let Princess Jinyang be her daughter-in-law.
The next day.
Li Mingda gave the recipe written by Fang Yizhi to the chef, and asked them to make some.Li Mingda gave it to his father and brothers and sisters, and Li Mingda also gave some to Concubine Wei Gui.After all, Concubine Wei had cooperated with her when investigating the case, so I want to thank her.
Princess Li Yumin of Changshan, and Li Hui'an, who had just been canonized as Princess of Hengshan, liked Fengjianxiao and Guomenxiang, both dishes and desserts, and they both liked them very much. The two sisters held hands to expressly thank Li Mingda.
Li Yumin was better, she had always been careless and heartless, and as soon as she arrived at Li Mingda's place, she started playing around, pulling Tian Hanshan to jump up and down with her.
Li Hui'an was still sad about the death of Princess Changle, and she couldn't help crying when she and Li Mingda mentioned it.
"I want to go out of the palace to see Fifth Sister for the last time, but Aye doesn't allow me to go, saying that everyone is gone. I am so young, I will be overly sad if I go there, and I will hurt my body instead. If Fifth Sister under Nine Springs Knowing that, she will be sad."
"Aye is right. If Fifth Sister sees you like this, she will be sad. She just went to live in another place, a place you can't see. It may not be worse than before." Li Mingda explained road.
"Really? What kind of life will Fifth Sister live?"
"Near the mountains and the sea, watch the sunrise and sunset, and the flowers bloom and wither."
"Hey, isn't this how the gods live?" Li Hui'an asked naively.
Li Mingda nodded, "Probably so, if that's the life she yearns for."
"The Fifth Sister is so happy. I actually envy such a life, but I have to be with the Nineteenth Sister." Li Hui'an said, and hugged Li Mingda tightly with a smile.
Li Yumin had had enough tossing and sweating profusely, while Tian Hanshan was panting from exhaustion looking at Li Yumin.
"Your lord, Princess Changshan was about to climb the tree just now, but she was persuaded to come down by slaves."
"Where are you going, I will go too." Li Yumin listened to half of the conversation, but insisted on joining in the fun, and then occupied Li Mingda's other arm.
"I'm not going anywhere, just here, you two, let me go." Li Mingda moved his arms, but the two younger sisters stuck to her body like two octopus.
Li Mingda: "If you don't let go, the two of you are not allowed to see the wind and see it go away in the future."
Li Hui'an and Li Yumin immediately let go.
Li Shimin heard that the two daughters were also here, so he called them over.Speaking of the dim sum that Li Mingda sent, Li Shimin was full of praise, "It's just right to serve with your peach juice."
Li Shimin then asked the source of the two dishes,
