Chapter 101: The Past

"The fourteenth brother learns a little bit of everything, but he doesn't learn well, the master always says that he is smart, but he doesn't put his mind on the right thing, and always thinks about how to have the most fun, the green walnuts we eat today, or the fourteenth brother took us to pick them at that time, and I know that the green walnuts can also be eaten."

Tang Ningnan recalled all the things that the fourteenth prince had in the palace, and it was indeed exactly the same as what the emperor described when he was a child.

"What about the emperor?" Tang Ningnan is still most concerned about Feng Feihan's childhood.

"I ......"

Feng Feihan's conversation box seemed to have suddenly closed, and his tone became less cheerful than before.

"Before the age of twelve, I and Lan Shi could often play together, but one day after the age of twelve, I was taken by my father to be taught by him personally, and the time to see Lan Shi and them became less, I knew that my father was interested in me as the crown prince, and had high hopes for me, I didn't want to disappoint my father, and since then, I have gradually distanced myself from Lan Shi."

It turns out that being the crown prince is not as good as imagined, you must take the world as your own responsibility and study hard, and you must always beware of being calculated, let alone being the emperor.

Tang Ningnan looked at Feng Feihan's expression, and was still very interesting when talking about his childhood playmates, but when he talked about his own growth experience, he was secretive, it is conceivable that he must have experienced unimaginable trials and tribulations for ordinary people along the way from the crown prince to the emperor, Tang Ningnan grabbed Feng Feihan's hand, and secretly decided in his heart that he would protect the country for him.

Feng Feihan also responded to her with a warm smile, and continued: "Actually, when I was the crown prince, I still had the opportunity to meet Lan Shi and them, but later there was a brother who wanted to take away the crown prince from me, and designed to frame me, saying that I secretly formed a party for personal gain, although I failed to succeed, but it caused Lan Shi's family to go to prison.

Lan Shi's life was at that time I begged my father for forgiveness, and since then I have understood that being too close to them will harm them, and only when they are really strong can they protect them, and this is also the case for the matter of the imperial sister, after I ascended the throne, the tablet of the imperial sister can enter the royal temple. ”

In this way, Feng Fei Han's life when he was young was indeed very gloomy, but fortunately, now that he has ascended to the throne, he will govern it in an orderly manner every day.

Tang Ningnan felt that he had another layer of understanding about the person in front of him, but now that he was the emperor, why didn't he have friends with Li Lanshi and Sima Zhaohua as well as before, and even Tang Ningnan couldn't see that there was still a relationship between them that they were childhood partners in the past.

Feng Feihan seemed to see the doubts in Tang Ningnan's heart, and said: "Between me and Lan Shi, there have been many misunderstandings since his family was imprisoned, and although they were later resolved, they can't be as close as usual, and Zhaohua ......"

Feng Feihan paused, seemingly a little annoyed, but quickly continued: "Promoting Sima Bin to prime minister may be the most wrong decision I have ever made, I didn't expect Sima Bin's ambition to be so big, Sima Zhaohua is Sima Bin's son, even if the past love is there, I have to be more wary of him." ”

Tang Ningnan pursed his lips, sure enough, there will be many things that will not go well when he is born in the emperor's family, and as a monarch, he has to endure this kind of pain, when a person has the supreme right, he is lonely.

"It's okay Fuyuro." Tang Ningnan walked in front of Feng Feihan, "In the future, all the offenses will be accompanied by Ning'er with Donglang." ”

Feng Feihan smiled knowingly and hugged Tang Ningnan into his arms.

She said that she would accompany her through everything in the future.

Not long after Tang Ningnan arrived on the ship, the dragon boat was about to set off for the next place again, their purpose was the Penglai Islands, if there was no very necessary thing, every foothold on the road would not be delayed for too long.

Standing on the deck, Tang Ningnan, who was holding on to the railing, saw that there were many people on the dock who came to see them off, including old men with gray temples, and children with yellow hair, middle-aged men's bodies were tall and strong, and their faces were a healthy black from the sun.

Tang Ningnan vaguely seemed to see Yi Pei and Yun Lang, holding the hands of the little child who led her way that day, Zhao Si unloaded the goods for the local people on the cargo ship with leg cuffs, and he didn't dare to resist when he was urged, in short, except for him, everyone had a happy expression on their faces, which was the yearning for a better life in the future.

Seeing the people on the shore so satisfied, Tang Ningnan also felt very comfortable in her heart, as if she had also become one of them, and felt the joy of the wicked being eliminated, until the dragon boat left the Huishuo dock, turned a corner, and couldn't see the people on the shore, Tang Ningnan got up and walked to the boat.

When he returned to his room, Tang Ningnan found that in addition to the fruits and walnuts that Li Lanshi had taken to share with the guards, there were still a lot of pot-sized pancakes on the table, a bunch of dried fish, dried mung beans and fruits... There are also tofu and crucian carp given by Yi Pei's family.

What can I do about this, Tang Ningnan was secretly worried in his heart.

Fish and tofu are good to say, they are all new in the morning, let the accompanying chef take it to make it must taste good, dried fruit things can be stored for a long time without worry, but so many baked cakes are not easy to deal with, the concubines in the palace are used to eating fine grains and rice, and it is difficult to swallow after burning the biscuits, and they are afraid that they will not be able to eat it.

It is even more inappropriate for the guards to stand guard, the weather in August is already big, and after eating this cake, the guards must not be more thirsty, no, no.

But she can't eat so much by herself, so she shouldn't throw it away in vain, so it's better not to accept it at the beginning, thinking about it, Tang Ningnan thought of a way to eat in the Guanzhong area when she traveled through the previous era.

Tang Ningnan, who came up with a solution, picked up the mung beans and crucian carp on the table, and went to the kitchen where the meal was prepared on the dragon boat.

"Concubine Xiao Guiniang, the kitchen is filthy, why did you come here in person, if you want to eat something, let the palace daughter come over and pass a message, as soon as we are done here, we will send it to you immediately." Chen Ruyu, who was in charge of delivering food in the kitchen, saw that it was Tang Ningnan who came, and immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face.

The eyes of the people in the palace are very sharp, who is favored, who is not favored, they look like a mirror, now Rong Yuxuan Niangniang has the emperor's sacred heart, whatever she wants, she has to be ready to send it over immediately.

Tang Ningnan chuckled, picked up the mung bean he was carrying, shook it in front of his father-in-law, and said:

"Grandpa Chen, is there fresh mutton on the boat?"

Chen Ruyu immediately replied that she had just come back from purchasing fresh mutton in the morning, and if the mother had any mutton dishes she wanted to eat, the kitchen would immediately make it and send it to her.

"No need, Grandpa Chen, Bengong is here to borrow the kitchen, and Bengong wants to cook a meal himself."

Hearing Tang Ningnan's intention, Gonggong Chen was confused, what the ladies in the palace want to eat have always been sent over by the dining room, although every big palace has a small kitchen, but there are few ladies who cook in person, not to mention that Grandpa Chen was thinking frantically in his head during the southern tour, I don't know which one Xiao Guifei sang by Niangniang, is it difficult?

"Concubine Niangniang, but the dishes you cook these days are not what you like, if this is the case, the slave will immediately go to change the cook."

After thinking about it, Chen Ruyu only thought of this one reason, and knelt on the ground in a panic to ask Tang Ningnan for his guilt.

Tang Ningnan was frightened by this Chen Gonggong's posture, she just came to borrow a kitchen, why do the people in the palace always say kneel and kneel.

"Where, this palace just wants to cook in person and cook some hometown food for the emperor to taste." Tang Ningnan explained, but couldn't help but complain in his heart, why is it so difficult to borrow a kitchen.

Chen Ruyu, who understood Tang Ningnan's intentions, immediately cleaned up the kitchen so that Tang Ningnan could play, but he still had a question in his heart, this Xiao Guifei really knows how to cook? If he was hurt in the kitchen, the emperor blamed him and couldn't afford it, and called several palace maids and eunuchs to look at Tang Ningnan.

Tang Ningnan entered the kitchen and started to do things without ambiguity at all, it was very simple to wash the green or something, but to the surprise of the palace maids and eunuchs, Tang Ningnan was very skillful in killing the fish, and the mutton was also handled cleanly and neatly, without the slightest fear.

You must know that the ladies in the palace are very delicate, and they can't see a little blood, but when Tang Ningnan killed the crucian carp, he broke his stomach and dug his intestines, as if he was used to it, which made these minions have a different view of Tang Ningnan": It turns out that there are also maidens in the palace who can cook.

I thought that Tang Ningnan would hand over this kind of thing to them to do, but Tang Ningnan basically did it himself, and sometimes he couldn't take care of it, so he let these minions help.

Tang Ningnan's explanation for this is that the rice is made for the emperor, so naturally he can't fake his hands to others, but he is secretly happy in his heart, he was a full foodie before he crossed over, in addition to liking to eat, he also likes to cook, he has lived alone for so long, and he has practiced good cooking skills, and it is still difficult for him to do this.

However, it is still better to have a comfortable life served by someone, there are people serving everything in this palace, Tang Ningnan is still a little rusty, but after the lamb leg is blanched and stewed in the pot, he slowly begins to feel comfortable.

There are so many baked cakes left, Tang Ningnan thought of making a pot of stewed mutton bone broth, and eating it with vermicelli and baked cakes, it must be very delicious. Mung beans and crucian carp are used to make mung bean porridge and crucian carp soup, respectively.

These three things are all to be boiled slowly on low heat, but fortunately, there are five stoves in the dining room, which are very complete, so Tang Ningnan can cook the three dishes together.

This made Chen Ruyu incomprehensible again, just for the emperor, there is no need to cook a big pot of everything, right? Especially the mung bean porridge, a large pot has to be filled, and it is enough to give a bowl to the concubines and maids on the ship, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he let Tang Ningnan prepare it.
