Li Mingda looked at Cheng Chubi curiously. "Third Brother Cheng, what do you want me to help with?"

Cheng Chubi squatted down and patiently explained to the little girl.

"To make this dish, you need lotus leaves, I have searched all over this ninety percent palace, and there is only one place, but I am not allowed to go over."

"You wait a minute...... To make this kind of dish, you have to have lotus leaves? Li Yuan thought about it and began to feel that something was wrong.

"That's right, it has to be lotus leaves, and the other leaves don't have the fragrance and taste of lotus leaves."

Li Yuan couldn't help but frown a little embarrassed. "Lotus leaf...... The entire Jiucheng Palace is a lotus pond. The old man remembered that it was next to the Imperial Palace. ”

I remember that my daughter-in-law's eldest grandson likes to appreciate the lotus the most, and if I move those lotus leaves, I am afraid that it will be ......

"Grandpa, I want to eat." Li Mingda raised his little head and licked his mouth excitedly.

Seeing the greedy look of this little cutie, and then thinking of Cheng Chubi's shot, the delicacy that never disappointed him.

Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a little appreciative, but this season is a good time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of lotus flowers, so it won't be too bad for the scenery.

Besides, he is a dignified emperor, and leading his good granddaughter to do such a bad thing is really detrimental to the demeanor of the older generation.

If you bump into your daughter-in-law at the scene, you are really ...... as a father-in-law Well, no, absolutely not.

"Then Cheng Laosan, you can go, but try not to spoil the scenery." Li Yuan's eyes rolled and he yawned loudly.

"Alas, at noon, the old man began to be sleepy again, and he really couldn't walk, or we would go at night."

Cheng Chubi was not happy to be authentic. "Emperor, if you go at night, I'm afraid you will only be able to eat it tomorrow morning."

"Grandpa, you're tired, hurry up and rest and rest, I'll just go pick lotus leaves with Brother Cheng." Li Mingda pursed his lips, and his will was resolute and resolute.

"This ......" Li Yuan hesitated slightly, but seeing this good granddaughter with excellent IQ and the honest Cheng Laosan, hmm......

"It's okay, Zhongbao, then you can accompany the princess on a trip. I took a nap first, and I didn't squint for a while at noon, I was really tired. ”

Cheng Chubi smiled and strode forward excitedly, next to Li Mingda, who was jumping and jumping, and the loyal old eunuch Zhongbao.

Behind them, Cheng Liang and Cheng Guang, the loyal servants of the future, walked towards the lotus garden not far from the Imperial Palace.

It is now the end of July and the beginning of August, and the entire Jiucheng Palace is full of chrysanthemums, and those splendid and gorgeous chrysanthemums are extremely beautiful.

Huang Cancan, who makes the entire Jiucheng Palace look extraordinary, this situation and this scene, although it is extremely beautiful, but looking at it every day, Cheng Chubi is already a little numb.

At the gate of the Lotus Garden, a team of right guards are guarding here to brag and fart, this Lotus Garden is not big, but the scenery is extremely exquisite and beautiful.

This is also where His Majesty and Niangniang often visit hand in hand these days, after the last accident.

The guards in the entire Jiucheng Palace have become much stricter, for example, the lotus garden where His Majesty and Niangniang often come are usually not allowed to enter and leave.

Even Cheng Chubi is the same, after all, Cheng Chubi is not a person who is willing to embarrass a few soldiers.

And if it is the Emperor Li Yuan in the past, or Li Mingda, the pearl in the palm of His Majesty and his wife, in the past, naturally there will be no problem.

I saw Her Royal Highness Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang, leading Cheng Chubi, Cheng Sanlang, who had saved the queen's mother, and others into the park.

The soldiers guarding at the door didn't even ask, and hurriedly and respectfully let in, and this little ancestor who could walk sideways in the entire Jiucheng Palace entered.

Cheng Chubi followed behind Li Mingda, but he really had a sense of fox and fake tiger power.

cough, but a very iron-blooded and masculine man like himself should be a tiger, and as for Li Mingda, he is more like a cute little rabbit.

No matter what, I entered the lotus garden, and after walking a short distance, I saw a small pond with a stone bridge across it.

And on this slender and winding pond like West Lake, lotus leaves are floating in the water or hanging in the air, green and verdant.

It's a pity that the beauty at this moment fell into the eyes of Cheng Laosan, who was already completely immersed in making food, and he praised it twice.

Soon began to count on his fingers. "A chicken has at least two lotus leaves."

"Plus Your Highness, you still have the Emperor, then you have to be almost ten lotus leaf ......"

"No, I want fourteen lotus leaves, as well as my father and my mother." Li Mingda is worthy of being a filial daughter, and she does not forget her father and mother when she has delicious food.

"Cheng, fourteen is fourteen, but ......" Cheng Chubi glanced twice, feeling that the scenery in front of him was if fourteen lotus leaves were removed......

The old eunuch Zhongbao heard the number fourteen, and looked at the beautiful situation in the pond, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

Looking at Her Royal Highness the princess, who was very excited, and Cheng Laosan, who was eager to try, he felt that he needed to remind him.

"Your Highness, Cheng Sanlang, you need so many lotus leaves, if you destroy the situation here, I'm afraid it will be...... Niangniang and Your Majesty will not be pleased. ”

Li Mingda pursed his lips, thinking of the various mouth-watering delicacies made by the third brother Cheng these days, and immediately made up his mind.

"Third Brother Cheng, then let's go inside and see where there are more lotus leaves, where can we pick them?"

"Everything is at the command of His Highness." Cheng Chubi felt that it was better not to be in charge, and Uncle Li was angry with him when he could save the time.

When Li Yuan stretched comfortably, he walked out of the house and saw the lotus leaves that covered the open space in front of the house.

I saw Cheng Chubi taking the chicken that was already stuffed with ingredients in the belly and wrapping it in lotus leaves.

Then he handed it to Cheng Guang and began to wrap it in reconciled yellow clay.

An old face turned black directly. "Cheng Sanlang, how many lotus leaves have you picked?"

"Grandpa, are you awake?" Li Mingda, who was squatting there and was looking happy, stood up and waved his hand.

"Grandpa, a chicken costs two leaves, and the five of us here need ten, as well as my father and mother, so there are fourteen in total."

When I thought of the small lotus garden, there were so many leaves missing.

If this is to let the daughter-in-law who likes to appreciate the lotus look at it, she knows that she asked Cheng Chubi to pick it up.

Thinking of the gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law's quiet and gentle, but easy to make people look empty.

Li Yuan inhaled like a toothache, and now his heart began to feel a little weak. But looking at the excited good granddaughter in front of her, it was not easy to have a seizure.

Li Yuan walked up to Cheng Chubi, who was busy, and said in a deep voice.

"Cheng Sanlang, you'd better make sure that the chicken you make is really delicious. Otherwise, the old man would not admit that I asked you to pick the lotus leaves. ”

“？？？” Cheng Chubi raised his head a little confused. "Emperor, how can you be so dishonest, it's obvious that you asked me to pick it."

Li Yuan was happy, walked to the side with his hands on his back, and looked like he didn't like to take care of people. With a big hand, who to love......
