Chapter 325: Hot Spring Palace
Li An took away the insulated bowl stuck on the poached egg on the top layer of the trolley, and suddenly, a unique fragrance of poached eggs came to his face, and penetrated the thin translucent curtain and entered the nose of Yang Yuhuan behind the curtain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
And Ang Lee's eyes also penetrated with this fragrance, and he saw Yang Yuhuan behind the curtain, which was full of charm, and this hazy beauty made him look extremely charming.
Of course, Li An only took a cursory glance and looked away, after all, Yang Yuhuan is now Li Longji's most favored woman, and he can't be unreasonable.
"It smells so good! It must be delicious. ”
As soon as Yang Yuhuan's golden mouth opened, two little palace maids immediately came over and brought a plate of poached eggs, there were three poached eggs on this plate, although it was not a lot, but it should be enough for Yang Yuhuan to taste.
"Your Majesty, the meal has arrived, Weichen made his own opinion, made five or six more side dishes, and invited His Majesty to taste it."
Ang Lee brought out delicacies such as scrambled eggs with cucumbers, teppanyaki beef, and stewed whole goose in sauce one by one, and introduced in detail the taste and nutrition of each food, as well as the great effect it can play in beauty and anti-aging.
"San Lang, the poached eggs made by Li Shilang are obviously much more delicious than those made by the imperial chef."
After tasting a mouthful of poached eggs, Yang Yuhuan made a praising evaluation.
"Yes, yes, yes, those imperial chefs of mine are useless, and they can't even make a poached egg."
Li Longji complied, and opened his mouth to take a large piece of poached egg that Yang Yuhuan had sandwiched.
"San Lang, Li Shilang can make such delicious dishes, which is even better than the imperial chef, it's better to let Li Shilang be the imperial chef, hehehe!"
Yang Yuhuan said jokingly, of course she knew that Li Longji would not agree, after all, Li An was so talented, how could he be an imperial chef?
"It is a blessing for Ang Lee to value the lady so much, if he can cook for His Majesty and the lady every day, Ang Lee will feel extremely honored."
Li An did not refuse, and happily accepted Yang Yuhuan's proposal, not that he really wanted to be an imperial chef, but that he knew that Yang Yuhuan was joking, so why not follow her wishes and make her happy? Anyway, being idle is idle, making the girl happy, and making herself happy.
Yang Yuhuan was really stunned, and Li Longji was also very surprised, and the chopsticks in his hand were gently put down.
"Hahaha! I also think that Li Shilang is suitable to be an imperial chef, but Li Shilang still has a lot of research to do, and I still hope to be able to cruise the world along the railroad tracks in the future? After Li Shilang finishes his research, it's not too late to change his career to become an imperial chef! ”
Li Longji also made a joke, after all, everyone knows that research will never end, and Li Ang will never change his career.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen must work hard to study, so that Your Majesty can tour the world as soon as possible."
Li An Zhengse assured.
"Li Shilang, I don't know if you can research something that can make people stay young forever, wouldn't it be more beneficial to the world."
Yang Yuhuan loves beauty, and naturally hopes that he can stay young forever.
Li An was stunned for a moment and explained: "Lady, birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm of heaven, and it is impossible for human beings to reverse it, and it is impossible to stay young forever, but it is feasible to delay aging." ”
"Oh, I don't know how to slow down aging?"
Yang Yuhuan hurriedly asked.
"If you want to delay aging, you need to go to bed early and get up early, exercise often, be in a good mood, preferably not get angry, and eat more vegetarian food and less meat ......"
Li Ang said a lot of knowledge about health, and Yang Yuhuan memorized it all.
"Li Shilang, there is a way to take care of your skin."
Yang Yuhuan continued to ask.
"Well, there's a way to apply fresh cucumber slices to your face, which will keep your skin fresh, supple, smooth and elastic."
Li An almost blurted out, but he regretted it a little as soon as he finished speaking, at present, cucumbers are only available in his greenhouse, Li Yu and Li Li have already set their sights, and now, if there are more Yang Yuhuan, it is estimated that it will be even more troublesome.
"Is there anything that makes a woman ......?"
Yang Yuhuan asked a lot of questions about anti-aging and health care, and tried to keep it in mind, in her opinion, all the things in the whole world are not important for him to keep young and beautiful.
Of course, for a woman who is favored by the emperor, losing her young beauty means losing her favor, so it is understandable that the good days will come to an end, and it will attract special attention.
After returning to the third carriage, Li An received the food sent by the imperial kitchen, and sat on a folding stool, ate with the ministers, and sat in the carriage he developed to eat, which was still very refreshing.
As the vehicle continues to move forward, the scenery of the area is constantly changing, from green meadows to freshly cultivated farmland, and even woodcutters with firewood knives on their backs in the distance.
This dynamic picture of the country is so fascinating in the eyes, and the more high-status people are, the more excited they feel when they look at this picture.
In just one hour, the team arrived at the hot spring palace, the speed was five or six times faster than usual, and there were almost no bumps, so people arrived at their destination comfortably.
"Your Majesty, the Hot Spring Palace has arrived."
Colliers walked gently to the junction of the first and second carriages and whispered.
"Oh, the hot spring palace has arrived, so soon."
Li Longji opened his eyes slightly and looked at Yang Yuhuan beside him.
After eating the perfect meal, the two of them were lying on the large plush bed with their eyes closed and recuperating, and before they knew it, they had arrived at their destination.
"San Lang, after we have the railroad tracks, we can come to the Hot Spring Palace often."
Yang Yuhuan said excitedly.
"Yes! It can be easily arrived in an hour, it is indeed much more convenient than before, and you can come often in the future, and I have not been to the eastern capital Luoyang for many years, and when the railroad tracks are laid in the future, I will take you to the eastern capital Luoyang for half a month. ”
Li Longji said excitedly.
The Hot Spring Palace is the emperor's other palace, and it is also the emperor's place of leisure, although Li Longji does not stay here all day, but there are still many people here who are responsible for daily operations, so as soon as Li Longji's special car arrived, a large group of palace maids and eunuchs came out to greet him.
Ang Lee and a dozen ministers had already gotten off the third carriage and were waiting outside the first carriage.
With the support of several little eunuchs, Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan slowly walked down the first carriage and waved their hands to let everyone get flat.
"Li Shilang, you haven't been to the Hot Spring Palace yet!"
Li Longji asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Wechen has never been in yet, the last time I took someone from the Ministry of Engineering to inspect the railway tracks, Wechen and King Guangping stayed overnight in the col outside."
Ang Lee replied truthfully.
"Well, then follow me to the hot spring palace today to have a look and enter the palace."
Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan sat on the chariot, surrounded by a large group of people, along the wide official road, and walked to the hot spring palace not far away.
All the ministers, including Li An, followed, and the guards had already entered the palace and guarded the main passages to prevent assassins.
The core of the hot spring palace is in Huaqing Pond, it is because there is a hot spring here in Huaqing Pond, so it is called the hot spring palace, and of course it will be renamed Huaqing Palace in the future, and it is undoubtedly called the hot spring palace at this time.
Li Longji led everyone straight to the direction of Furong Garden, where the place is relatively large, can accommodate more people, and the scenery is also very good.
After entering the Hot Spring Palace, Li An looked around and felt that the scenery here was really beautiful, much more beautiful than the Daming Palace.
Of course, Daming Palace is an administrative place, the main function is administrative, and the hot spring palace is a place of leisure, the main function is leisure, the style is naturally completely different, compared with the majestic momentum of Daming Palace, the hot spring palace appears more soft and charming, more suitable for living and health, no wonder Li Longji likes to run here when he has nothing to do.
At this time, it was just after the afternoon, and there was still a period of time before dark, if he returned immediately, he could return to the capital before dark, but since Li Longji had arrived at Daming Palace, he would naturally not return immediately, at least to enjoy it.
In order to show that he was particularly fond of Ang Lee, Li Longji asked a little eunuch to lead the way and take Ang Lee to various locations in the Hot Spring Palace to savor the scenery of the Hot Spring Palace.
Li An thanked him, followed behind the little eunuch, and went to the Wangjing Tower not far away, the Wangjing Tower is not far from the Furong Garden, it is a palace built in the middle of the mountainside, standing in the position of the Wangjing Tower, you can see the capital, of course, because the distance is too far, you can only see a vague shadow.
Fortunately, Li An carried a telescope with him, and when he took out the lens tube, he could see the outline of the capital, and after shortening it ten times, the capital was only seven or eight miles away from the Hot Spring Palace.
If you change the direction of the lens, you can see most of the view of the hot spring palace.
"The hot spring palace is so beautiful! There is such a beautiful place in the world. ”
Li An held the pillar on the upper floor of Wangjing and sighed.
"Li Shilang has won the favor of His Majesty, for so many years, His Majesty has never let a minister visit the Hot Spring Palace at will? Li Shilang is really the first. ”
The little eunuch didn't recognize life at all, and smiled and patted Li An's ass, after all, he was a person who had served the emperor, and he had seen all kinds of scenes, and all kinds of big officials had seen them.
"It's over, Your Majesty may have other plans!"
Ang Lee responded with a smile.
"What does Li Shilang mean by this?"
The little eunuch was stunned.
Li An thought for a moment and explained: "The hot spring palace is so big, it takes a lot of time for Your Majesty to walk around every time!" Also, it's not very comfortable to sit on a chariot all the time! It is even more inconvenient. ”
The little eunuch scratched his head, frowned and asked, "The Hot Spring Palace is relatively large, but if Your Majesty doesn't sit on the chariot, what will you sit on?" Do you want to ride in a carriage? That would be even more inconvenient. ”
Li An smiled, picked up the binoculars, looked at all the situations in his sight, and asked the names of each place one by one, and memorized them.
"Watermelon Garden, Flower Viewing Terrace, Hibiscus Garden, Lychee Garden, Bailuguan These places can be connected by a railroad track, and continue to connect to the west to the Palace of Eternal Life, Xixiuling, Shivan Gogh, Queen Mother Temple, Cockfighting Palace, Four Temples, in this way, the most beautiful place in the whole hot spring palace scenery is all connected, and it will become extremely convenient to appreciate, and the feeling will be even better."
Li Ang planned a circular rail line inside the Hot Spring Palace, of course, this rail is different from the big railroad track outside, it should be a miniature version of the small railroad track, the width of the carriage can sit two people side by side, and the driving manpower of the front of the locomotive does not need much, three or five people are enough.
The little eunuch looked surprised, he knew about the railroad tracks outside the Hot Spring Palace, but he didn't think it was feasible to lay the railroad tracks inside the Hot Spring Palace.
Li An didn't bother to explain, so he asked the little eunuch to take him to the Descending Temple and the Drum Tower, and wait for a few commanding heights to see if there was a better place to pave it.
After walking a lot of places, seeing a lot of scenery, and drawing the planned route of the railroad tracks, Li An felt quite a sense of accomplishment, of course, this small railroad track can only give Li Longji a pastime, and it can't bring much benefit to Datang.
Next, laying the railway line from the Hot Spring Palace to Luoyang City should also be put on the agenda, and this line is longer, the manpower and material resources required must be larger, and there will be many steep positions on the way, which is a great test for the engineers.
When Ang Lee returned to the Hibiscus Garden, it was already dark, but the location of the Hibiscus Garden was lit up everywhere, as if it were daytime.
Li Longji was in a good mood and was holding a banquet, and the people who invited the banquet, in addition to Li An and the prime ministers, there were many officials and officials of the Ministry of Industry, after all, the railway track can be successfully completed, and the officials and officials of the Ministry of Industry are indispensable.
After the ministers arrived, the singing and dancing soon began, and at the same time, a large number of good wines and dishes were also brought and placed on the table in front of each minister.
"Li Shilang, how is the view of the Hot Spring Palace?"
After drinking with all the heroes for a while, Li Longji turned his gaze to Li An and asked softly.
"Your Majesty, the scenery of the Hot Spring Palace is very good, and it is the first time for Weichen to see so many beautiful scenery, it is really worth the trip."
Ang Lee replied immediately.
"Although the hot spring palace is beautiful, it is too big, I am very tired from visiting every time, I don't know what Li Shilang can do to make me easier."
Li Longji really made a request.
Li An smiled slightly, took out the drawing from his arms, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this is the track drawing designed by Wei Chen, you can build a small rail line in the Hot Spring Palace, so that when you visit the garden, you won't get tired." ”
"Okay, hand it over to the Ministry of Engineering immediately, and start laying it on a later date."
Li Longji was overjoyed and immediately made a decision.
"Your Majesty, should the railroad tracks leading to Luoyang City be prepared in advance? This track is very important to me Datang. ”
Li An immediately proposed to lay the railroad tracks from Chang'an to Luoyang. (To be continued.) )
