CHAPTER XXVII

The emperor had nine sons, and Empress Yang alone gave birth to three, namely the eldest prince, the second prince and the seventh prince. Concubine Zheng Guifei also has two children, the third prince and the eldest princess. As for Concubine Li, she still has no children and no daughters. Concubine Li is calm and breezy on the surface, but she is very anxious in her heart. She even thought about the succession of the unfavored prince and princess. In this palace, the son is first more expensive than the mother, and then the mother is more expensive than the son. This woman, especially the woman in this harem, regardless of the prince and princess, you have to have at least one, and there will be hope for the days to come.

Concubine Li looked at Li Shaoqing's portrait and didn't notice anything, at least, this Li Shaoqing looked completely similar to her cousin Shaoqing. Moreover, she also ordered someone to inquire. This Li Shaoqing's temperament is also different from Shao Qing. When he was young, Shao Qing was well-behaved, and of course there was no shortage of opinions. But this Li Shaoqing is simply eccentric, not serious in reading, but he is a good pleaser. It is said that the whole family except for his father has no opinion on him. Of course, it's not that he's not smart. A simple game of backgammon that is now popular is said to have originated with him and his little playmates. I also heard that he recently chose a maid for himself at a young age, and he didn't want to be beautiful. In this regard, his father, Uncle Li, has a lot of opinions. However, I heard that Li Guogong and his wife are very protective of this eldest grandson. With this eldest grandson, the four grandsons in the second room are like invisible.

Li Shaoqing also has to enter the palace several times a year, which is nothing for the palace people who enter and exit the palace gate, but it is not easy for foreign ministers or women, let alone ordinary people. The emperor's eldest grandson and Li Shaoqing are of the same age, and it is said that they like Li Shaoqing very much. However, Li Shaoqing did not become a companion. It is said that it was Li Guogong who personally said it to the emperor. Looking carefully, Concubine Li felt that although Li Shaoqing was young, it was not simple.

There is another point, Concubine Li is very concerned, this is the only thing that Li Shaoqing and Shao Qing have in common, both of their masters are Xuan Zhenzi. Shao Qing went to Lingyunguan after he was seven years old. So is Li Shaoqing going to Lingyun Temple when he is seven years old?! Shao Qing admired his master Xuan Zhenzi very much, Concubine Li didn't think that Xuan Zhenzi was an old naughty boy, she believed that Xuan Zhenzi must have real skills. Shao Qing often said that he had only learned half of his master's skills, and because of his family relationship, he had little effort to learn the piano and painting, let alone Qi Huang, which made his master very dissatisfied. In fact, Shao Qing, who was admitted to Tanhua that year, has already satisfied the whole family. But Shao Qing still said that, it can be seen that Xuan Zhenzi is a person with real skills. If he is taught by Xuan Zhenzi and re-enters the Lingyun Temple, Li Shaoqing may not be another Shao Qing.

Concubine Li thought for a long time, and then—

"Linglong—"

"Niangniang, Linglong is here, what are your orders?"

"You come here."

Concubine Li instructed Linglong, and Linglong kept nodding. And then-

"Linglong understood."

"Okay, you go down!"

Concubine Li thought for a long time in the hall alone, and then thought that it was the emperor's birthday soon, although it was not a big birthday, but the emperor's birthday was a family banquet, and their concubines could attend. You can imagine what it would have been like that day. Rivalry, or intrigue. Up and down in this palace, they call each other sisters and sisters, but no one wants each other to have a good time.

It's the emperor's birthday, you have to prepare well!

Li Shaoqing feels that the biggest advantage of living so far is that his father can't resist his grandfather and his grandmother. Otherwise, their father and son have completely different concepts of life, they have never been on the same line, and they can stare at each other every day. For example, Li Shaoqing felt that he was too old to sleep in a separate courtyard alone, so he naturally had to choose some maids or something. Li Shaoqing told the Zhao family that he wanted to pick someone by himself, and the Zhao family naturally agreed, and the Zhao family promised that the Murong family naturally had no opinion. The Zhao family thinks simply, the people who accompany the eldest grandson naturally want to be liked by the eldest grandson, and the eldest grandson chooses it better by himself, as for the character rules or something, he has his own Murong clan to check it! As a result, Li Shaoqing referred to Zhao's opinion and selected four big maids, as for the second- and third-class maids, rough envoys, and small maids, etc., they were all decided by the Zhao family and the Murong family. The personal guards are Ye Lingfeng and Joy, because Ye Lingfeng is called peace, and the other guard is called Joy. Xile is Li Kaijiang's subordinate, originally a lowly member, and later had some military merits in the army, Li Kaijiang saw that he was good, and helped him find a way to restore his good name. At the age of about twenty, martial arts are purely cut by slashing people on the battlefield. Later, he thought that he had no home and no reliance, although he was a good person, he might not be despised by others after he knew his life experience in the future, it was better to find a reliable master, he was afraid that on the battlefield a nickname would not pay attention to the nickname, and then there would be no one who knew. Li Kaijiang sighed when he saw him like this, and told him about his eldest grandson. Then, when he heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed and swore that he would protect his future master.

I was happy to see that Li Shaoqing was quite nervous that day, and when he saw Li Shaoqing, he felt that the grandson of Li Guogong's family was quite close to him. Li Shaoqing also feels this way. This joy is not high or handsome, but it is not short or ugly, it speaks quite crisply, and people also look clean and neat, and it is the person brought by Li Kaijiang, Li Shaoqing feels reliable, so the joy stays. He didn't care what Joy was originally called, thinking that he was also a new student, and he was a human being, so he would follow the master. Li Shaoqing looked at Ye Lingfeng on the side, and said: "His name is peace, you call it joy, I hope everyone will be like these four words, and live a peaceful and happy life." "Joy thinks this name is good, this little master is also good, and what he said at a young age is so pleasing to the ear.

Li Shaoqing also named the four big girls he selected, which were Linlang, Bihe, Yunxi, and Dongxue. also got the maid's deed in his hands. Li Tuotu knew about this matter, and he was reprimanded again. Li Shaoqing was not convinced, and said confidently: "This is all given by grandpa and grandma, and the elders give it, so I dare not resign." "Actually, according to what he originally intended, they are all my people, and the deed will naturally be in my hands. Didn't you see that the deeds of the little maids and aunts in each courtyard were all in the hands of the master or the housewife! In case the deed is not by his side, the person betrays the master or commits a crime, and it is not easy to punish the master, then what is the matter?

In this way, Li Tuotu also made the boss angry.

Li Tuotu's idea was: This stinky boy actually dares to talk back!

The father and son fought again, Li Tuotu was isolated, and Li Shaoqing was naturally victorious with his back to the mountain! Daddy Li is so depressed! Dad can't lower his son, it's really shameless.

Therefore, when Li Tuotu learned that Li Kaijiang didn't know what Li Shaoqing sent to the emperor, Li Tuotu suddenly felt very happy.

Li Shaoqing has had his own small courtyard and small kitchen since he was five years old, and he believes that he can make the best use of his talents and materials. He united the big girl Linlang and Ye Lingfeng Xile, and after a long time, he finally completed the birthday gift to the emperor.

Mysteriously, the packaging was also deliberately sealed with a beautiful box. In the end, it was held by Ye Lingfeng, and Li Shaoqing entered the palace. There was a little eunuch waiting at the door. Li Guogong and his wife could not participate in such a family banquet.

Others are offering gifts in the middle of the feast as a performance, or at the end of the feast as the finale. Li Shaoqing is good, as soon as he came up, he asked to open the gift box. The Emperor smiled and agreed. All the harems, including the queen mother, the princess, the princess, and the grandson, all watched and waited with wide eyes.

Ye Lingfeng put the box in front of the emperor, then opened it, and the gift was presented in front of everyone. The double-layered round shape seems to be covered with syrup, and is decorated with countless fruits of various colors, and there are circles of skirt patterns as decorations, which look strange and beautiful.

"What is this, it looks like a food?"

"Uncle Emperor guessed right! Uncle Emperor, how can there be no birthday cake for a birthday banquet. Then, he instructed Ye Lingfeng to say: "Peace, light the birthday candle." ”

The crowd saw that a candle with the words "Happy Birthday" was placed on the top layer of the cake and then lit.

"Uncle Emperor, I will sing the birthday song immediately, and then, please make a wish silently, and then blow out the candle, so that the legendary wish will come true!"

"That's it! All right! You start singing! ”

Clearing his throat, Li Shaoqing began to sing a birthday song.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you......"

Listening to the birthday song, Li Yinyuan suddenly felt that his heart was much younger. Looking at the rising candlelight, Li Yinyuan was silently moved.

"Uncle Emperor, hurry up!"

"Huh?! Good! ”

Whew――

CHAPTER XXVIII

Since there was a new thing like a cake at the birthday banquet and even the Queen Mother said it was good, the cake became popular all of a sudden. The ladies inquired where they were sold. The problem is, you haven't heard of it at all! Later, the ladies inquired about who offered it, and when they heard that it was offered by the little prince of the Li Guogong Mansion, the noblewomen thought that the people of the Li Guogong Mansion must know, so they sent a little maid to inquire. As a result, no one in the Li Guogong Mansion knew how to make cakes. The ladies don't believe it, no one knows, how did Li Shaoqing present a cake to the emperor, could it be that he made it himself, he is a five or six-year-old little boy, who is he fooling! Well, often the truth is hidden.

Li Shaoqing has been tempered to make this cake, and he just remembers how to do it, and then, everyone must know that modern cakes are at least oven, microwave oven or something. In ancient times, when natural resources were abundant and high-tech resources were scarce, it was strange that you talked to people about ovens and microwave ovens, but people didn't say that you had hysteria. Be careful that the Taoist leader of Lingyun Guan has accepted you. Within three months, I don't know how many eggs, how many catties of white flour, how much firewood, and how much water were wasted before there was a cake that was later presented to the emperor. Speaking of this, Li Shaoqing has to praise the big girl Linlang girl he personally selected, this girl definitely has the potential to become a gourmet, Li Shaoqing just said it so roughly, people can make a □□ without leaving ten. Then I have to give Ye Lingfeng and Joy a thumbs up, don't look at the two old men, they are actually quite ingenious. Li Shaoqing felt that with them, he was a handicap. However, he, the handicap party, is now the boss of the three of them, and when you think about it, it's pretty good.

Regarding the cake, Li Shaoqing has his own ideas, as a person who aspires to become a gentleman, if he wants to eat and wait for death, he actually needs some capital. Looking at his father like that, it is estimated that it is not easy for him to be a perfect gentleman. I want to get some money, but what can I do now? Therefore, Li Shaoqing decided to save the country by curve.

But anyone with a bit of status is unwilling to engage in business, but if they don't engage in business, they rely only on the fields, and they must know that the state has control, and it is not that they do not have to pay taxes, where is it enough to lose. Besides, what rich man doesn't have a few shops on hand. It's just a name to put it another way, and it's usually run under the name of the housewife or a reliable housechild.

Li Shaoqing remembered that when he was a child, he loved to watch his mother-in-law settle accounts or something, and he also knew that his mother-in-law had a pastry shop, so he only looked for his mother-in-law.

This is the first time that Li Shaoqing has talked to Murong Clan seriously, and Li Shaoqing is too immature, Murong Clan wants to pinch it when he looks at his son's face. Li Shaoqing felt that the atmosphere of the conversation was too lax. So, he straightened his face, and as a result, his mother smiled even more. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that a five-year-old cute child discusses things with adults with a serious face, which really makes people feel stern.

When the Murong clan learned that the cake was really made by his own son, even if it was made by the commander, he was also surprised. Then, listening to his son carefully explain his thoughts, Murong thought in his heart, the fat and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and this business should be good. Then, he faced up to his son.

"Xiao Yu has grown up!" Murong sighed.

"In the eyes of my mother, no matter how old I am, I am still my mother's little girl."

Murong Clan covered the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "That's what I said!" ”

Then, one thing was decided so happily. The most unexpected and surprising thing is probably Linlang. The recipe for the cake was handed over to her by Li Shaoqing. In other words, in the future, the dividends of this pastry shop will also have her share. However, Li Shaoqing also made an appointment with her for three chapters. Linlang is naturally carefree, and signed a guarantee to press the handprint. When the other three big girls found out, their eyes were red with jealousy. Li Shaoqing felt that it was better to be happy alone, but when the time came, his fun would be gone.

Li Shaoqing felt that if the emperor or queen mother wanted this recipe, he would not be able to let go, but there must be conditions. I haven't heard of it, the apprentice of the church, starve the master! He had to be on guard.

The cake thing is easy to solve, but the other things are not so easy to solve.

There are some things in the inner circle that Li Shaoqing doesn't know, such as those things about his father and his mother.

Murong has always worked hard, worked hard to give birth to Li Shaoqing, and worked hard to manage the huge Guogong Mansion, even the Zhao family praised her a lot, and the Zhang family and Miao family in the second and third rooms all obeyed her. I feel that a different person will never be as appropriate as the Murong clan. However, the Murong clan also had their own troubles. Although she has a son of her own and her position is considered secure, she has recently found that she has become more and more estranged from her husband.

Murong himself is a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, but the eldest master prefers people who are soft on the outside and soft on the inside. Back then, the eldest lord thought that the Murong clan was very good, but as the eldest lord followed the old grandfather to the upper class society and became more knowledgeable, he felt that the Murong clan was too strong, and sometimes the idea was too big and not gentle enough. But the respect of the Murong clan should be given, and the eldest master has always done enough. It's just that the two gradually have some different dreams in the same bed. Especially after the Zhou family had twin daughters, the eldest man felt that he was not old. Sun took the opportunity to enter, obeyed the old man's words, and said that he hoped that he would have something to rely on in the future. Soon Sun also became pregnant. The Murong clan understands the principle of checks and balances, and said that if the Sun family wins a man in one fell swoop, he will give the Sun family a concubine. The Sun family and the Zhou family secretly competed with each other, and they were wary of the Murong family.

Li Shaoqing is a little kid, and now he has a separate courtyard again, where do he know this, just listen to the maids occasionally mention it, so people can inquire carefully. Then, the alarm bells sounded. That's not a good thing for parents! The constraints on men in this era are so broad, it would be terrible for his mother to get into the horns of the bull. But what is he going to do?! That's sad! If someone bullies his mother, he can let people beat him back, but it is his father who bullies people, which is difficult. Moreover, it is the most helpless emotional problem, which is really difficult to handle!

Li Shaoqing pays attention to it on weekdays, and gives his mother a consolation back and forth, and his meaning is obviously to say: You can't have both fish and bear's paws. It's more obvious, that is, if you want to do without, if you don't want to, try to save your father and change yourself. If you can't save your father and change yourself, you can learn from your second aunt and keep the backyard of your home, so that people can't turn over your own five finger mountain. I don't like it, so everyone is scared. However, it is obvious that Li Shaoqing failed. According to Li Shaoqing's understanding, his father is still his mother's first love. The first love is always poetry, which is all crazy!

Li Shaoqing seems to have woken up his mother-in-law, and took out all the methods of house fighting, and treated his father first! The few who were targeted in the backyard were explosive firepower, and when they came to his father, they were five scumbags!

Li Shaoqing is too young, has no life experience or anything, what he says is not credible at all, and it is impossible for adults to listen to it. The Murong clan really ran to a dead end, and Li Shaoqing was suddenly melancholy! So, Li Shaoqing thought of a way that was not a solution. Mother, you have another brother or sister, so that Daddy may change his mind. Men are changeable at times. Murong also felt that only Li Shaoqing was too lonely, so he nodded in response. In the coming days, she will work towards this goal first. Thinking about it, as long as there is only one son in the backyard, Li Tuotu can't be eccentric.

Li Shaoqing wiped a handful of sweat, and his mother-in-law finally listened a little.

Li Shaoqing gradually grew up, and his former friend Zhou Bowen and Huzi either went to school or studied together, and even Tangyuan was not spared. Li Shaoqing felt very bored, and then, Lin Jinyan came. He came to wait for the completion of the agreement between Xuan Zhenzi and Li Guogong. By the way, teach Li Shaoqing some basic skills. Li Shaoqing looked at his senior brother who was like a carved jade, and his heart couldn't help but ripple. Thinking about the relative nature of the day and the night, it feels like the future is very good. Lin Jinyan also had the intention of escaping marriage when he came to live in the Shangguo Mansion this time, he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and his family was anxious to give him a blind date, and the eldest brother would not let him go, so he simply came to live in the Shangguo Mansion. When Li Shaoqing was seven years old, Lin Jinyan went to Lingyunguan with a cart full of gifts, as well as his little junior brother and his little junior brother's little maid.
