Chapter 153: Choy Sum Meatballs (Medium)
Du Shaonan can understand the helplessness of choosing a general among this kind of short people, to be honest, he has never coaxed a child, but since others handed over his son to him, even if it is only one day, he wants to let this child have a happy childhood.
"Then this morning, we will divide the time, Your Highness, you will first read the book for half an hour, and then Weichen will accompany you to play chess for half an hour, and then Your Highness will practice the words for half an hour, and we will go to the Imperial Garden." It is not difficult to arrange these, Du Shaonan has gone to school according to the curriculum.
Can you play chess, and you can go to the Imperial Garden?! It was already a luxury for the little prince, and he nodded busily: "Listen to my cousin's arrangement!" ”
"But Your Highness, the minister still has to speak first, if you don't pay attention to reading and practicing calligraphy because you are worried about playing chess and visiting the imperial garden, the minister must cancel this arrangement!" This must also be said in advance, and there should not be too many children who can't sit still in the last class before school.
"Lone knows." The little prince can vouch for himself.
"The minister just believes that His Royal Highness can not delay his study, so he promised in front of the emperor that His Highness can learn and play well." Du Shaonan smiled encouragingly at the little prince.
The royal children have a heavy burden and strict education, and the little prince understands that if he reads and writes better than before today, then he will most likely have no chance to play again, so when he returned to the study room of the East Palace, he took the initiative to open the book and recite, Du Shaonan took two articles casually, and he memorized them quite fluently.
Of course, Du Shaonan will not break his promise to such a sensible child, and will play chess with him when the time comes, the five-year-old child's chess skills are already very good, Du Shaonan has to be glad that in his last life, in order to please his grandfather, he studied a few chess books very seriously, otherwise in this life the environment of the Du family, he can't read. Not to mention learning chess.
Anyway, he can win the prince, otherwise he wouldn't have the face to read to the prince as a companion.
As long as he reads and passes, he can really play chess! Sure that Du Shaonan was not coaxing him, the little prince was in good spirits, and he was doubly serious in practicing calligraphy, Du Shaonan nodded again and again while watching, much stronger than when he was five years old!
So Du Shaonan really took the little prince to visit the imperial garden. As far as I know, I will introduce to the little prince what flowers bloom in what season. What is purely ornamental, what fruits can be eaten, and what harm is there if you eat too much. By the way, let's talk about the mythological story.
The little prince was happy to see it and surprised to hear it, this cousin, who can play and knows so much knowledge, is undoubtedly closer to him than Lin Wei.
"It's starting to get hot. It's time for lunch, and Your Highness will go back and rest for a while. But what you want to eat, I can go to Boss Tang's kitchenette and order something for you. "Du Shaonan grasps the degree, and can't let the child play so ambitious that he can't take it back.
"I want to eat the soup dumplings made by Uncle Tang himself!" The little prince said immediately.
"I also like the soup dumplings made by Boss Tang the most, but it's a pity that he is out of the palace now. Your Royal Highness do you want to taste what others do, I heard that the new lady Liu will also cook a lot of food, although it is not as good as Boss Tang. But it's good to change the taste and taste fresh. "Du Shaonan doesn't have the ability to summon Xiao Tang back.
His father would not call Boss Tang at will, and the little prince nodded understandingly: "Then my cousin will let Lady Liu do it." Lonely didn't order food, and let Lady Liu do what she was good at. ”
Good boy! Du Shaonan smiled and went to the small kitchen justifiably.
Xiao Tang is going back, Han Niangzi and Lu Niangzi didn't come today, the chef is a master in his early fifties surnamed Sun, Master Sun has always been honest and doesn't talk much, he and Liu Yiyi each guard a stove, and they are all right.
"What did Master Sun do today?" Du Shaonan greeted the master first.
"A shrimp oil spinach, a fried shredded eggplant, Renshou Palace said that the Queen Mother wants to eat seasonal fresh vegetables." Chef Sun's best skill is to make all kinds of vegetables.
Du Shaonan nodded: "The Queen Mother has always had a relatively light diet, but when the prince is growing up, he still has some meat to eat at every meal." ”
"The person who came to deliver the decree just now also said that let the small kitchen make a meat dish that is not too greasy for His Royal Highness the Prince, and this female official is making small meat balls with cabbage." Master Sun pointed at Liu Yiyi.
Du Shaonan looked at Liu Yiyi squarely: "Choy sum small meatballs? Are you sure the prince will like it? ”
"The small meatballs I make are made of pork leg meat, chopped and stuffed and squeezed into small meatballs, each one is only the size of longan, and then fried in oil until golden on both sides, then added soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, water, and burned until eight ripe. As for the green vegetables, I chose cabbage, only use the most tender cabbage sum, cut it into small pieces of one inch, first simmer it in an oil pan, and then pour in a piece of meat balls to cook. ”
Whether the prince likes to eat or not, how dare Liu Yiyi guarantee that she just made dishes with meat and not too greasy according to the instructions of the queen mother.
"Listen to it, you will send it to the prince when it is ready, it just so happens that the prince is curious, how is the cooking skills of the new lady Liu?" Du Shaonan said with a smile.
Before Du Shaonan came, Liu Yiyi and Master Sun were already stir-frying, so he didn't say a word when he came, the dishes were fried and served on the plate, Master Sun followed the waiter to Renshou Palace, and Liu Yiyi carried the food box by himself and followed Du Shaonan to the East Palace.
This time, Du Shaonan didn't bother with whether to be fast or slow, he walked in front of Liu Yiyi's left, keeping a distance of five steps from her, and then waited for no one to pass by, he spoke first: "Today you go to see the prince alone, so you don't have to worry about going along, if the prince asks you how your cooking skills are, you can praise yourself more." ”
"Why?" Liu Yiyi was puzzled, judging from her understanding of Du Shaonan, this person looked like a gentleman on the surface, but even eating and drinking was in a serious place, and he should be a down-to-earth person who didn't like exaggeration.
"Don't you want to marry Yue Linfeng? It is not possible to have no backer in this palace. Seeing that she is currently living a down-to-earth life, Du Shaonan doesn't mind helping her.
“…… I don't want to stay in the palace......" Liu Yiyi whispered, "Since you all know that I am not suitable for Lord Yue, can you let me out of the palace, of course I don't want to be kicked out!" "She also has to ask for reputation, otherwise she won't be able to live if she goes out.
"Who wants to stay in the palace? You ask the palace maids and eunuchs here, who doesn't have a history of blood and tears, take the two biggest fathers in the palace, for example, do you wonder why the brothers have become eunuchs? Ordinary people should always keep a son to inherit the lineage? Du Shaonan asked as he walked, and did not look back.
"......" She was careful every step of the way when she got on the boat to enter Beijing, how dare she inquire about her father-in-law's life experience.
I know that she doesn't have the ability to do it, "The brothers died when they were young. Their uncles and aunts took over their houses and fields, but they didn't think they had two more mouths to eat, so they sent them into the palace, thinking that the two children would die in the palace, but they not only grew up, but also became powerful, and later brought their cousins into the palace to wait for the nobles. It's a pity that their cousins are much less lucky......"
What is the result in the end. There is no need for Du Shaonan to elaborate Liu Yiyi also understands that Du Shaonan means that even if he gets monstrous power in the palace, he is destined to be a person in the palace for the rest of his life. It's impossible to get out anymore.
But eunuchs and palace maids are still different, eunuchs will be ruined as long as they enter the palace, so no matter whether they are good or bad, they have to stay in the palace for a lifetime, but as long as the palace maids and female officials are not fortunate by the emperor. At the age of twenty-five, you can leave the palace.
"If no one helps me, I won't force it, I will try to survive until I am twenty-five years old and leave the palace." Liu Yiyi said that she would rather stay up for a few years. I don't give my whole life to Yue Linfeng.
"When you leave the palace at the age of twenty-five, you can only marry a second marriage, and you will be a stepmother, are you not wronged? Don't say you won't marry for the rest of your life. The Liu family is too rich, you can't keep this family property for a girl, it's too dangerous. "Du Shaonan stayed much longer than Liu Yiyi in ancient times. She sees the world more clearly than she does.
"What about Young Master Du? You should also start a family at your age, and outsiders have rumored that the door of the Du family is not easy to enter. But you don't stay married, do you? Liu Yiyi didn't dwell on her own questions, she chose to ask rhetorically.
This was unexpected, what did she mean by asking, it was not easy for the two of them, so just get together?
He and she, two traversers, will really become a couple here?
Du Shaonan walked forward silently, he couldn't help but recall the dream that Liu Yiyi had after leaving, originally he noticed Liu Yiyi at the beginning, he was curious that the heroine would also be crossed, and he was curious whether this novel would break away from the original plot.
Seeing that Liu Yiyi was summoned to Beijing by Yi Zhi, Du Shaonan was not reluctant, he just sighed, the plot went around and came back!
As a result, Liu Yiyi only left for a few days, and he dreamed of her, to be exact, the scene in the dream was on the Jinluan Palace, where the civil and military officials were worshipping the mountain and shouting "Long live", and the throne was sitting on a small child, and there was a yellow * color gauze curtain hanging behind the seat.
Du Shaonan was standing behind the curtain, indeed standing, even in a dream, whether he was standing or sitting or kneeling, he could still tell the difference, after standing for a while, the woman sitting in front of him got up, stepped on the bottom of the high flower pot and swayed to him with a hand, the nail cover on his hand was more than three inches large, flashing with cold light.
What's even more terrifying is that she called out from her mouth: "Little Duzi......"
Du Shaonan looked up in surprise and saw the woman's familiar melon seed face......
woke up in shock, Du Shaonan couldn't sleep anymore, according to the time-traveling novels he had read, this time-traveling girl was too easy to have something to say with the emperor! Once Liu Yiyi and Li Muzhen have something, the first victim will be the current queen and his cousin, the queen is going to fall, as a member of his mother's family......
The more Du Shaonan thought about it at that time, the more he felt that the dream was a warning, so he hurriedly wrote a letter urging Fang Xiaozhu to catch up with Lin Yuxiao and them, but unfortunately the letter was not too late, but no one believed him!
Thinking about Du Shaonan, he felt uncomfortable no matter how he walked, he seemed to open the way when he walked in front of Liu Yiyi, and he seemed to be an attendant when he walked behind Liu Yiyi, sure enough, as long as this woman belonged to the palace, he was awkward!
Liu Yiyi is inexplicable, why is Du Shaonan walking as strangely as that night? Because she asked him about his private affairs, he was upset? If you are unhappy, you can say it directly, just like he taught her that a woman's name should not be on her lips, isn't she humbly taught?
"Princess?" Du Shaonan suddenly stood up and bowed to the group in front of him.
Li ping? Liu Yiyi was also busy bowing and saluting, and Han Niangzi told her that there is a rule in the palace that you don't have to kneel when you are a cook, because you are afraid that your clothes will stain the food if you get dirt on them. Those who are responsible for carrying the food box do not have to kneel, which is also because they are afraid that the food box will be dirty on the ground.
Sure enough, Liu Yiyi didn't kneel, and no one in front of her reprimanded her for being rude.
Li Ping didn't dress up today, but she was domineering and menacing, and she was looking for trouble at first glance, she snorted coldly at Du Shaonan: "If you go back to Beijing, you will go back to Beijing, why are you getting involved with this woman?" ”
"I'm going to accompany the prince to study now, and I have to help the prince check this even if I don't have lunch, and Lady Liu is sending food to the prince by Yi's order, so let's go together." Du Shaonan explained.
"The queen mother let her go? This woman first bullied Brother Linfeng so that he would not come back, and then bullied the prince, why didn't the queen mother drive her out of the palace?! Li Ping said angrily, originally she was worried that the person surnamed Liu would have no way to live if she was expelled from the palace, who knew that this woman was so dishonest when she entered the palace!
"Bullying the prince? Princess, who did you listen to? Du Shaonan thought it was funny, did this princess take it out of context again? Or was he being used as a gun by someone else?
"Which of the big and small things in the palace can be hidden from this princess?" Li Ping is quite proud.
"Really? The princess should also understand that all the people serving the prince in the East Palace were replaced, and it was ordered by the emperor himself, if Lady Liu dared to bully the prince, why didn't the emperor treat her guilt? Why did the Queen Mother reward her? Why didn't the princess ask the queen mother and the emperor what happened to the East Palace? Du Shaonan couldn't help but worry about Li Ping's future, he was so brainless, he would have to be used by his rival if he wasn't deceived by a man in the future.
"I'm ......" Li Ping was asked by Du Shaonan, because she heard that as soon as Liu Yiyi went to the East Palace, something happened in the East Palace, and only Liu Yiyi retreated from the palace...... In fact, the little eunuch who reported the news said that it was okay for the lady of the Lu family to be present, but he was engrossed in staring at the princess of the "rival in love", completely ignoring others.
"Lin Tanhua?! You can ask Lin Tanhua! Li Ping suddenly found that the rescuer pointed in front of her.
Lin Tanhua!? Lin Wei?! She's not...... Du Shaonan and Liu Yiyi subconsciously turned around, and really saw Lin Wei wearing a green official robe, coming out of the corner and walking towards them.
However, after a while, Du Shaonan and Liu Yiyi felt that something was wrong, Lin Wei's walking speed was slow, not to mention, it was too mechanical, like what they couldn't describe for a while, in short, it was abnormal.
Li Ping didn't notice it at all, she was born with few roots and tendons and grew up being held by others, and she never encountered real danger, but now when she saw Lin Wei coming over and grinding, she suddenly became impatient, and actually went to Lin Wei by herself.
"Princess, something is wrong...... Du Shaonan kindly stopped her.
Li Ping pushed Du Shaonan away: "What do you want to do?" This palace knows that your companion identity is not in the right way, Lin Tanhua, if you have grievances, just say to this palace, this palace will make decisions for you, you ......" (to be continued.) )>
