In the Changkun Palace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two windows in the north and south of the side hall were open, and a cold wind blew in, neutralizing the heating from the charcoal fire.
Wang Zhaorong sat on the chair, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the wind and snow outside and the red plums blooming proudly in the snow, and then exhaled happily.
Princess Rui and Princess Jun and several children gathered around the stove, laughing.
The fourth prince took a pair of tongs, put it in the stove and dialed it, and finally picked up a roasted half-red and half-black sweet potato, Princess Rui stretched her head over, and said with a smile: "Let me see, let me see if it's ripe." As he spoke, he sniffed it with his nose and said, "It's so fragrant!" ”
The fourth prince held up the sweet potato and asked, "Who wants this one, who wants it?" ”
Princess Jun and the second princess both raised their hands and said, "I want it, I want it!" ”
The fourth prince put the sweet potato he was holding on the plate of the second princess, and the second princess said happily: "Thank you, fourth brother!" ”
Then he reached out and picked up the sweet potato in the dish and wanted to peel it, but he felt that his hand was hot again, and then he let go of the sweet potato again, and shouted in his mouth: "It's hot, it's hot!" Then he put his hand to his ear.
Princess Jun looked at the fourth prince, and said with bright eyes: "Fourth brother, you are partial to the second sister!" ”
The fourth prince smiled and said, "I'm not partial to Li'er, I'm partial to Jun'er." There is a bigger and sweeter one hidden underneath, which was specially left for Jun'er by the fourth brother. ”
As he spoke, he took out another sweet potato from below and gave it to Princess Jun's plate, which was indeed bigger than the second princess's.
Princess Jun became happy and said, "Thank you, fourth brother, Jun'er loves the fourth brother the most." ”
The fourth prince smiled and touched Princess Jun's head.
Princess Rui observed the inside of the stove and asked, "Is there any buried underneath, clamp them up, and then put down a new one to bake." ”
The second, third and fourth princesses are all there, as well as the four princes, plus Lin Yan, Hu Shufei and Wang Zhaorong, the small bag of sweet potatoes offered by King Hui must not be enough for Princess Rui to roast them, and finally Lin Yan still ordered someone to go to the imperial dining room to find some sweet potatoes to come out, and Princess Rui tossed them.
Wang Zhaorong couldn't help but smile and said: "It's better to have more children in the palace, you look at a huge harem, with the laughter of children, you don't feel lonely at all." ”
Concubine Hu Shufei also ate a sweet potato baked to her by the fourth prince himself, and at this time she was sitting on the side with Lin Yan Wang Zhaorong, and was taking a handkerchief to wipe the sugar scale on her hands, while echoing Wang Zhaorong with a smile and said: "So it is a blessing for many children and grandchildren." ”
Lin Yan hugged the little prince Zhao and fed him a little sweet potato. Prince Zhao loves to eat this thing, and from time to time he can't help but pull Lin Yan's sleeve to reach the sweet potato in her hand, and at this time he is eating a mouth full of sweet potatoes.
She looked at Princess Rui and the others who were busy around the stove, and couldn't help but laugh softly.
Wang Zhaorong looked at the four princes, then turned his head and said to Concubine Hu Shu with a smile: "The four princes are fifteen years old, isn't it almost time to pick a princess for him?" ”
Concubine Hu Shu was indeed already considering whether there was a suitable candidate among the daughters of the senior members of the court, so she just smiled and did not deny it, and then said: "The second princess is not twelve years old for the New Year, and it is not time to consider the candidate for the concubine." ”
Wang Zhaorong smiled and looked at the second princess lovingly.
When the children grow up, it's time to think about the children's marriage. What's more, people like them in the harem have nothing to do all year round, so they are most concerned about this matter.
Concubine Hu Shurong asked Wang Zhaorong: "Sister Wang, what kind of family are you going to find for the second princess?" ”
Wang Zhaorong said with a smile: "Like Fuhui, just find a colt like Cheng Qilang who will love her and love her." ”
Concubine Hu Shufei sounded a little proud, Fuhui married well, the concubine loved her very much, and Concubine Hu Shulang was indeed very satisfied with Cheng Qilang's son-in-law.
Then he looked at the fourth prince and thought about what kind of princess he should marry. The fourth prince was not born to Concubine Hu Shufei, originally Concubine Hu Shufei wanted her niece to marry the fourth prince to be a princess, either to kiss or to promote her niece. It's just that his brother-in-law Qi doesn't seem to have this intention, and she doesn't plan to marry her daughter into the royal family.
Concubine Hu Shufei thought about it, but she couldn't be reluctant, so she could only find another candidate for her daughter-in-law.
After Wang Zhaorong finished speaking, he paused, then looked at Lin Yan and said, "Of course, the emperor and Niangniang have the final say on all this." ”
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Li'er is your own child, is it possible that this palace will force another horse you don't like to Li'er, and your opinion will still be considered." If you have any suitable candidates, you should first tell this palace, and this palace will hand over a message to the emperor for you, and let the emperor decide if it is good. ”
Wang Zhaorong smiled and said yes.
And at this moment, there was a voice outside the hall, "The emperor has arrived!" Then I saw the emperor leading Princess Jue and Prince Huan Xiao into the door from outside.
Lin Yan hurriedly handed over the child to the nurse, stood up and took the palace concubine out to greet them.
Princess Rui and the others also shouted one after another: "Father! ”
The emperor saw the stove in the side hall, the baked sweet potatoes, the sweet potatoes that had not yet been baked, and the room was filled with the fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes. ”
Princess Jue and Prince Huan saw Princess Rui and others gathered around a stove, and hurriedly ran over curiously, and Princess Jue asked childishly: "What are you doing, I also want to participate." ”
Princess Rui said, "Baked sweet potatoes." As he spoke, he pointed to the roasted sweet potatoes on the plate next to him, and said, "I'll keep them for you." ”
The little prince Huan didn't have so many words from Princess Jue, so he directly snatched the tongs from the hands of the four princes, stirred them in the stove, and then pulled out some of the sweet potatoes buried underneath.
When Princess Rui saw it, she couldn't help but reprimand him: "Huan'er, you will sabotage as soon as you come." Then he looked at the fire in the stove, and was afraid that he would be caught on fire, so he couldn't help but complain again: "Oh, be careful of the fire, the fire is about to burn your clothes." ”
Lin Yan sat down on the chair next to the emperor, and the little prince Zhao was also happy to see the emperor and stretched out his hand to ask the emperor to hug him, and the emperor took the youngest son from the nurse's arms, and tidied up his clothes for him before putting them on his knees.
Lin Yan said with a smile: "King Hui offered some sweet potatoes, potatoes and soybeans, and when Princess Rui saw it, she said that she wanted to bake sweet potatoes to eat, and the children were playing with nothing." As he spoke, he smiled and asked the emperor, "Do you want to let the child bake one for the emperor to taste?" ”
The emperor also thought it was lively and interesting, nodded when he listened, and said, "Then give me one." ”
Before she finished speaking, Princess Rui had already smiled and handed a sweet potato to the emperor with a saucer, and said like a treasure: "Father, this is a big and sweet sweet potato that my daughter honors you and has just baked." ”
The emperor smiled and touched her head and said "good".
But then I saw that the skin of the dish was roasted black and red, and I was afraid that my hands would get dirty, so I couldn't help but feel difficult.
Lin Yan took the plate at the right time, peeled the skin for him with her own hands, and then asked someone to bring a pair of chopsticks over and let the emperor eat it. (To be continued.) )
