"Bring it here, Tan'er is filial, and I know that I sent delicious food to my father to taste." Bai Chenyi vacated a place on the bookcase.

Let Chen Xi put it on it.

A bite of the pastry is soft and glutinous, fragrant, but I don't know what ingredients are used to make it? It can be so crystal clear.

The sky outside the hall gradually turned white, and the rooster crowed three times.

Chen Xi woke up, Bai Chenyi, who was sleeping with his head on the bookcase.

"Your Majesty should go to court early."

"Oh." Bai Chenyi's head nodded downward.

Immediately came back to his senses.

Pinch the bridge of your nose at the corner of your eye with your hand and say, "I'm asleep here again." ”

"Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and it is inevitable that you will be tired." Chen Xi explained softly.

On the top of the main hall, Bai Chenyi was dressed in a black-patterned gold silk dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, worshiped by Wanchen, showing the domineering spirit of the king.

It's just that in this hall, except for King Jin and General Xiao Xu, it seems that other powerful ministers are filled with a smell of water. What's more, the minister was unkempt and unkempt.

Looking at Xiao Yushi's side, I don't know what it was on my hair, a yellow lump.

"Zhong Aiqing, what happened to you?"

Bai Chenyi took the handkerchief from Chen Xi, covered his mouth and nose, and couldn't help but keep the majesty of the royal family.

"Your Majesty, don't you know that as soon as the minister left the house, he was attacked by refugees, you look at the minister." Tobe Shirou opened his mouth and knelt down.

Recently, many ministers who had been attacked knelt on the ground and begged His Majesty to make decisions for them.

King Jin glanced down at the ministers and said with contempt, "Your Majesty, the ministers don't know whether to talk about something." ”

I saw that one person was normal.

Bai Chenyi hurriedly spoke: "Aiqing, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

"Recently, Weichen heard that Su Khan's side has been in drought for a long time, and the people are living in dire straits. The land here in the capital of Qi is fertile and the products are abundant, and there are many people from Su Khan's side who have traveled thousands of miles to wade through mountains and rivers and flee to the capital of Qi. I heard that there are new grains that are easier to grow and survive than rice, and to adapt to arid environments. was detained by the imperial court, which caused public outrage. ”

"King Jin, you are so bold, you dare to accuse Your Majesty." Xiao Yushi stopped it sharply.

He took the lead in ordering that he was the one who imprisoned the foreign envoys above, and he was also the one who blocked the news of Rokutani.

Just because he didn't care about King Jin alone, he was out of the limelight. Concubine Xiao once dissuaded him, don't hurt the Xiao family because of a whim.

But how could Xiao Jingran listen to her as a woman, if Your Majesty hadn't seen it, the Xiao family had a meritorious role in assisting him when he was the crown prince. There is only one woman in this generation in the family, Xiao Xuemei, or it would not be her turn, and she entered the palace when she was born as a concubine. It's just that this identity has been suppressed by the people of their Xiao family.

"How dare the minister accuse His Majesty of the truth, it's just to show the will of the people." King Jin said righteously.

At this time, a young minister headed by Xiao Jingran, who had no wife at home, wanted to climb the backer of the Xiao family, and echoed the "matter of the six valleys, which few people knew about in the first place." According to rumors among the people in Qidu City, a new pastry shop has recently opened in Fangxiang Street, and the ingredients used in Mingzhi Xinzhai are all from the food in the six grains. ”

Speaking of which, the eyes of all the ministers looked at each other and stood on Xu Lingyu in the middle row.

Xu Lingyu felt inexplicable for a while, and then remembered that Bai Mengtan seemed to have opened this shop in the name of General Zhenxi. Suddenly I felt bad, his good cousin had killed him miserably this time.

On Junqiao's face, he smiled awkwardly, "Although Zhixinzhai is opened by my family, I don't know if it offends all the adults?" ”

What is Rokuya? He hadn't figured it out yet.

began to take the blame.

"General Xu is too worried, the pastries in your bosom food are really delicious, but a cake is hard to find! My princess will order her servants to go to the store every day to buy a box. ”

Once the servant failed to grab it, and he was reprimanded for it, saying that he was a prince and couldn't even find a relationship to buy cakes.

His current princess is Xu Luo, the sister of Bai Xiyang's biological mother, and soon after her sister's death, he had feelings for each other. But because of the former princess, she was prevented from entering the palace in every possible way.

Fortunately, three years ago, for some reason, the former princess suddenly died in the mansion, without her hindrance. King Jin successfully married Xu Luo into the palace, and she immediately received Bai Xiyang, who was her nephew, into her name.

Princess Jin has a hot and straightforward temperament, and compared with her sister, she pleases King Jin more, and it is precisely because of her love for the house and Wu that King Jin naturally attaches more importance to Bai Xiyang's son than before. And Bai Xiyang did not disappoint him, bearing the title of the little prince, but helping him to give advice in the court.

He can be valued by His Majesty again, which is also the wealth of his son. This time the foreign envoy introduced Rokugu, he also felt that it was a good thing for the country and the people, and he must do his best to introduce it.

It's just that I didn't expect Xiao Jingran to get in the way.

Reverse black and white, frame foreign envoys, and put them in prison.

He was ashamed.

It just so happens that the new store opened by the Xu family is made from the ingredients in the six grains. Xu Jiagui is the queen's maiden family, the general of Zhenxi, and Xu Lao has made great contributions to the Northern Qi state. With these two points alone, His Majesty will attack the Xu family.

King Jin seems to be an ally he hasn't seen for years.

At this time, Xu Lingyu felt that King Jin's eyes seemed to be shining with stars.

The ministers were reminded by King Jin, and when they looked at Xu Lingyu's eyes, they were not as sharp as before, but had an expectant gaze.

They live every day under the condemnation of their wives and daughters, saying that they are officials, and they don't even have the ability to go to Zhixinzhai in advance to buy pastries. Why didn't they think about it earlier, and directly have a good relationship with General Xiao Xu, and the whereabouts of the pastries are naturally not a problem.

Xu Lingyu felt that there were countless eyes staring at him at this time, wasn't it just a pastry shop? You shouldn't look at him like that! Although he also agrees that the pastries of Zhixinzhai are indeed delicious.

But a person like him who has been eating pastries there for a day in a row, now as soon as he sees the pastries that Bai Mengtan sent to the post station, he pantothenic water.

"Colleagues, if you also like to eat Zhixinzhai's pastries, there are a lot of them there, so don't dislike them. It's okay to retreat back to the post station to get it. ”

"General Xiao Xu, I am really willing to give away the pastries of Zhixinzhai." One of the first ministers asked.

Xu Lingyu wondered, isn't it just a box of pastries, what is there to be unwilling.

''Confidant.'' At this time, Bai Chenyi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, spoke.

It's a good morning, but it's temporarily used as a place to talk about pastries and eat.

It will inevitably provoke, and Long Yan will be furious. The ministers, who were sighing before, all lowered their heads and did not dare to gasp.

Only the first to follow Xiao Jingran's words, the young minister spoke again, "Your Majesty, since the pastry shop is opened by General Xiao Xu's family, then General Xiao Xu must have nothing to do with the foreign envoys in the dungeon." ”

He knew very well that the Xiao family had been fighting with the Xu family in the west for power, and there were many discords, and this time he could just take this opportunity to climb the thigh of the Xiao family, which not only made a great contribution to them in addition to the Xu family.

"Aiqing, what are you talking about, is there something wrong with the food in Zhixinzhai?" Bai Chenyi asked him rhetorically.

Above the main hall, except for him, the other ministers shook their heads and said that there was nothing wrong with the pastries of Zhixinzhai.

"There is no problem, but the ingredients used in it are all from the food in the six grains, which makes Wei Chen deeply uneasy. ’’

''Restless. Bai Chenyi's majestic face was obvious, because he was angry with these words.

Then he asked, "I don't know how long your pastry has been brewing, General Xu." ’’

Xu Lingyu calculated it and reported that it was close to January. ’’

"In the past month, have there been any cases of customers having bad stomachs?" Bai Chenyi asked immediately.

Xu Lingyu shook his head and told truthfully, "Return, Your Majesty has never done it."

All he knew was that since the pastry opened, the business of the shop had been exceptionally good.

At this time, Bai Chenyi sat on the dragon chair, and the dragon face was happy.

"Coincidentally, the pastries sent by the third princess last night are from Zhixinzhai, and they are indeed delicious in the world if I have eaten them!"

After thinking about it, Bai Chenyi understood Bai Mengtan's intention of sending pastries. Just to let him watch today's good show.

It's really a good show, just to solve his urgent need.

As soon as the ministers present saw that His Majesty was happy, they all hurried to pat me with a word, and they were all sycophants.

"Your Majesty, the pastry of Zhixinzhai is exquisitely made, and it melts in your mouth, and I implore Your Majesty to give it the first cake in the world."

"Your Majesty, the pastries of Zhixinzhai are deeply loved by the people, and there must be no problems with the ingredients used."

……

On the top of the main hall, all the ministers who originally supported Xiao Jingran, in order to please His Majesty, all turned against each other and said all the good things about their hearts.

Xiao Jingran was angry and had a red face and a thick neck, but he didn't dare to say a word.

And the young minister who had helped him accuse Zhixinzhai earlier was even more frightened and broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

He didn't expect that he was bent on currying favor and went against His Majesty's way. Even if His Majesty didn't dispose of him at this moment, he wouldn't be able to get any benefit from Xiao Jingran.

Seeing the opportunity, King Jin expressed his thoughts: "Your Majesty, since the pastries in Zhixinzhai are all made of ingredients used in the six grains, this is enough to prove that there is nothing wrong with the food brought by the foreign envoys, and I also ask Your Majesty to pardon the foreign envoys and others." ”

Then, the minister on the side of the King of Jin also spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister suggests opening up and planting six grains to benefit the people of Northern Qi. ”

Bai Chenyi was thinking about what he should say next.

Outside the main hall, the voice of a woman crying was suddenly heard.

"Who is outside the hall making a noise here?" He asked as he looked at the temple door.

At this time, from outside the temple gate, a little eunuch ran in, trembling and kneeling on the main hall.

''Qi, Your Majesty is a maid in the palace, crying loudly outside the palace. ’’

Dare to disturb the early dynasty, this article alone is already a capital crime.

The ministers exchanged heads and ears in private.

''Presumptuous, just a maid, dare to disturb the early dynasty, and don't drag it down directly. ’’

Xiao Jingran scolded angrily, he already had a fire in his heart, and he couldn't find a place to vent his anger.

The little eunuch stammered with his head and said, "Yes...... It's a small one, and I'll do it right away. ’’

"Wait. The king of Jin stopped the little eunuch.

said to Bai Chenyi, "Your Majesty, since someone dares to make trouble outside the palace. This is clearly a capital crime, why don't you want to hear it, the reason why she made trouble. It also reflects your kindness and generosity, Your Majesty. ’’

Bai Chenyi thought that King Jin's words were unreasonable, and he nodded and signaled, "Bring the troublesome maid to the palace." ’’

"No." The little eunuch hurriedly withdrew and passed the word.

Bai Chenyi's eyes glanced at Xiao Jingran, who was arrogant.

And Xiao Jingran was completely aware of it.

Now the Xiao family's power in the court is getting stronger day by day, and Xiao Jingran actually even cares about him as a son of heaven.

Bai Chenyi pondered, when the poisonous thorns grew to a certain length, they should be uprooted, otherwise they would suffer endlessly.

At this time, outside the main hall, a maid dressed as a maid with a delicate face, a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, slowly walked in with her head down.
