The emperor didn't see Tang Fei's timid and scared appearance, but he wasn't disappointed, but he suddenly thought about the song she sang outside the gate of Chuxiu Palace when he first met Tang Fei. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, while enjoying the rain and chatting, it was quite leisurely, and I remembered the song and asked:

"I remember that you sang a song outside the gate of Chuxiu Palace that night, the lyrics are very free and easy, and the writing is brilliant, which can be called a classic sung through the ages. But I'm unheard of, did you make that poem yourself? ”

As early as when Tang Fei read the song 'Spring Dawn', he knew that he couldn't pretend to be a talented girl in the emperor, and he didn't want to put this "Water Tune Song Head" on his head at the moment.

Then he said in a sullen voice: "Where did the concubine make such words, it was when the concubine used to see it in an unknown dictionary when she was in the boudoir, because she thought it was very good, so she wrote it down." ”

Tang Fei said that he was in his boudoir, and the emperor couldn't help but think of Tang Tinglai again.

Thinking that the ministers in the imperial court, headed by Zuo Xiang and the nobles headed by Tang Ting, were all opposed to their imperial examination policies, I was melancholy for a while.

Tang Fei sensitively felt the change in the emperor's mood, and he didn't know which of his words aroused his sorrow, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Your Majesty, you see that this rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the water in the Taiye Pool will not overflow." ”

"The pond is so big, and the embankment built on the shore is so strong that no amount of rain can overflow the embankment." The emperor couldn't help laughing, but he was really hooked by Tang Fei to change the topic.

Pointing to the southeast corner: "Concubine Ai has not been in the palace for a long time, and I don't know if I have been to the southeast of the Imperial Garden, there is also a lake over there, called Qingyi Lake." ”

The corners of the emperor's mouth couldn't help but bend as he spoke, as if he recalled something interesting.

Tang Fei didn't have much opportunity to take a good look at this imperial garden since he entered the palace, and naturally he didn't know what Qingyi Lake was.

He shook his head.

The emperor also didn't care, and continued with a smile: "There is a bridge on Qingyi Lake, called Panlong Bridge, because of its twists and turns, it is very circuitous and named. As long as it rains for an hour, the water of Qingyi Lake will rise and overflow the Panlong Bridge. ”

The emperor gently supported Tang Fei's shoulder: "I was made the crown prince by the emperor since I was a child, and the Taifu has always been very strict with me, and I have always been extra self-disciplined, and I have always completed the courses assigned by the Taifu exceptionally well, so I always have to be praised by the Taifu." ”

Tang Fei couldn't help but smile, but the emperor's personality is very similar to himself, they are all the same strong, they don't admit defeat, and they are extraordinarily self-disciplined.

It's just that I thought that the emperor was made the crown prince at such a young age, and the struggle between the previous dynasty and the harem was so fierce, I think that the emperor should have been under a lot of pressure all along.

"When I was young, I was playful once, but it started to rain. I was afraid that I would delay the time to study, so I wanted to take a shortcut through this Qingyi Lake. Who knew that when he arrived at the Qingyi Lake, he saw that the water had overflowed the Panlong Bridge, which was almost a foot high above the bridge deck. ”

Tang Fei could think of the scene at that time.

"Then what did Your Majesty do at that time?"

The emperor smiled: "It's too late to take a detour, it will definitely delay the class, and when the time comes, it will be bad for the emperor to be angry." I took off my shoes and socks, rolled up my trousers, and ran over the bridge. ”

Tang Fei didn't laugh out loud, and quickly lowered his head, just like that, he couldn't help it.

Think about what the emperor who has always been suave and suave and Yushu was like at that time, barefoot, rolled up his trouser legs, running fast on the bridge like a big horse monkey.

"Don't worry, just laugh if you want, I want to laugh now when I think about it." He said: "After crossing the bridge, I wiped my feet indiscriminately, put on my shoes and socks and walked quickly, and I really caught up with the door where the Taifu entered with his front and back feet." ”

Tang Fei didn't know how to evaluate the emperor's past, but he felt that such a high-minded and dashing emperor actually had such an embarrassing past, which was a little funny, but it was inexplicably a little sad.

If you want to come to such a young emperor, under such great pressure, you must have had a very hard time.

Of course, Tang Fei couldn't show any sympathy for the emperor, so he said vaguely: "Why hasn't dinner been delivered yet?" ”

As if sensing Tang Fei's words, the imperial dining room finally prepared a meal, and Chang Huaquan took the little eunuchs in the imperial dining room to present the meals one by one.

The dinner was tightly guarded, and there was no rain at all, but most of the eunuchs who delivered it were wet.

The emperor's imperial meal was not as rich as Tang Fei imagined, and it was not even as good as the meal prepared by Concubine Wei at the lake banquet just now.

It's just a simple eight or nine dishes, and two bowls of japonica rice.

This is obviously much better than Tang Fei's usual food, but as far as the emperor is concerned, there are no one or two hundred dishes, so can it still be called a meal?

It is said that today's emperor has always been simple, but Tang Fei has never felt it in the concubines in the harem.

But today's dinner with the emperor made Tang Fei really feel this simplicity.

The food of the Great Cloud Country has always made people have no appetite, and even the emperor's imperial diet is no exception.

The winter melon soup that Tang Fei asked for was presented in a copper soup pot. The winter melon is stewed very soft, and it is all rotten.

The clear soup, uncovered, a pungent fragrance of winter melon permeated the hall.

It smells pretty good.

The eunuch who passed the meal was clever enough to serve the soup for the emperor first, and then it was Tang Fei's turn.

This soup only smells good, and when you drink it, there is no taste in your mouth except for the salty taste of winter melon and salt.

It's really natural, and it's said that winter melon soup is winter melon soup, except for winter melon, there are no other ingredients at all.

Tang Fei was a little distracted, and stirred it slightly with a spoon, and then he didn't want to eat it.

The emperor was very satisfied, and he was used to such rough food, so he didn't feel rough anymore, and he also recruited Chang Huaquan to reward the cook who cooked today.

"Isn't it unappetizing?" Seeing Tang Feiyi's excitement, the emperor couldn't help asking.

The emperor thought that the things were delicious, and Tang Fei naturally couldn't say that they were unpalatable, so he said a little vaguely: "I'm not too hungry." ”

Looking at the dishes on the table, he suddenly smiled slightly, and had an idea in his heart.

In the end, this cuisine is about combining all the right flavors into a more delicious taste.

"Your Majesty, I'll make you something special." Tang Fei smiled as he spoke.

"Yes, I actually forgot, but Concubine Ai is a good cook. I remember that before you entered the palace, the eldest princess and aunt told me that the eldest lady of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion had extraordinary cooking skills, and made a crystal cake at the flower viewing banquet in the Qi Mansion, which was crystal clear, soft and delicious. ”

When the emperor heard Tang Fei say this, he suddenly remembered what the eldest princess had said to him before, but he didn't know Tang Fei at the time, so he didn't take it to heart, so he naturally forgot about it.

At this time, Tang Fei mentioned it, and suddenly remembered it again. (To be continued.) )
