Chapter 129: Green Plum Boiled Wine
In the east palace of the building Xuanxie, there stands a tallest building, the foundation is built using Dali granite, its name is Longzi Palace, this hall occupies the center of the East Palace, the area is about one-fifth of the entire East Palace.
The Dragon Hall is divided into five parts, which also adopt the architectural style of the Four Directions Dynasty. In the middle is the prince's main bed, called the prince's mansion. Marble carved steps, two stone lions stand in front of the bronze ring red lacquer door to guard, and there is a stone wall carved with two door gods in the main gate.
If future generations see these two door gods, they will be surprised that it is not Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde, but another two named Li Zide and Yang Jin.
In fact, this is just another parallel world, but a period of history is relatively the same, and the emperors of the Tang Dynasty are basically correct with history.
The place I just mentioned is the main entrance of the Prince's Mansion, but the main entrance here is rarely opened, and most of the time you enter and exit through the back door or side door.
Because the East Palace is close to the Ye Court, there are more than 10,000 people in the entire Longzi Palace for the prince to dispatch, and there are about 50,000 palace maids and eunuchs in the entire East Palace.
In the back garden of the Prince's Mansion, there is a high-rise building, a total of three floors, in fact, the top is not a building, but a pavilion, which is a place to enjoy the scenery in the shade. The pavilion on the top of the building is empty, with beaded curtains hanging down, and a built-in sandalwood screen, which will smell the fragrance of the heart as soon as you enter it.
At this time, there are two people sitting in the screen, one of whom has two black rose-patterned revolts pinned to his waist.
In the middle of the room is a fine copper-colored charcoal basin with a small pot of red wine and green plums.
"Sister-in-law, the spring breeze is late, and the green plums are not yet ripe, so I have to cook wine to entertain you! I also hope that the righteous sister will not be suspicious of being a brother! Dressed in gorgeous clothes and a beautiful crown, Li Heng, who is in his forties, has a short beard, and his appearance is five points similar to Li Longji, but his body is relatively plump, not as fat and bloated as that, but having said that, he has a smug look on his face.
This wine is a tribute from the small countries around the Western Regions, and the Chang'an wine market is not circulating at all, Li Heng put out this kind of wine to entertain the princess of the country, in fact, he also wants to overwhelm it, among all the brothers and sisters, he is now the prince, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes the emperor in the future.
Wu Yueya picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of mulled wine, with a sour taste of green plums, and it tasted good, "Thank Your Highness for the wine!" ”
"Righteous sister doesn't have to be so polite, if you can, just call me cousin!" Li Heng grabbed the sleeve of the other hand with one hand, picked up the public food spoon, picked up the green plum in the axe, and put it in the bowl of the princess opposite, smiled proudly and naturally, and did not show any impatience in his eyes, but spoke cordially.
He is a person who has lived for most of his life, and he has already gained insight into the various states of the world, and at this time it is just a play, and he has long heard that the righteous sister has the name of a talented woman, plus the position of the eight immortals, and was slightly pushed, the jealousy in Li Heng's heart was completely ignited, and now the green plum boiled wine is actually to imitate Cao Cao's hero, and it is used to beat this new princess who does not know the height of the sky.
"Green plums are only delicious when they are half-cooked and half-raw, and the righteous sister eats them while they are hot!"
Wu Yueya picked up the food chopstick, smiled and picked up the green plum, smelled it and put it in her mouth to eat, the sourness decreased a lot, and overall it was okay, "Thank you cousin for your love!" ”
"No need to be polite, come and drink this cup! This is a special wine from the Western Regions, my father personally rewarded me, and it is too boring to want to drink alone, so I want to have a drink with my sister-in-law! Li Heng picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile.
"Thank you cousin!" Wu Yueya thanked her again, and when she lowered her eyes, she glanced at the armor guards hidden in the surrounding screens, since she came here, she heard the movement of the armor guards on the other side of the screen, and the sound of crossbow arrows winding, which is why she sat down and pinned the two revolvers to her waist.
The surface is silent, in fact, the mind has turned a few peaks, and the final determination is that there will be no problem, I felt a little strange when I received the invitation of the prince before, and I came to the East Palace to know the whole story, to put it bluntly, this is a bit like a Hongmen banquet, but there will be no death, let alone a sword dance, because the meaning of this uncle in front of him is very clear, warning and beating.
But the reason why the other party did this, he is the crown prince, is it possible that he will also be jealous of himself, because he is favored by his father-in-law and mother-in-law? Wu Yueya finished drinking, now that she knew the other party's goal, she understood what to do next, her expression did not change much, and she was still grateful to her cousin for the wine.
Li Heng was quite satisfied with the performance of his sister-in-law Princess Protector, a child is a child, and it is still very easy to deal with.
"I don't know what my sister thinks of Chang'an?" Li Heng continued to eat the plums and asked.
"Chang'an is prosperous and lively, which shows that my Tang Dynasty is strong!"
Wu Yueya stopped her chopsticks and replied.
"Sister-in-law, do you think this green plum boiled wine is a little familiar?" Li Heng seems to be smiling, his elegant skin exudes a literati flavor, but his bones are endless recklessness and ambition.
"Haha, cousin, don't worry, I'm not Liu Xuande, and I won't cause trouble to my cousin, so please rest assured, cousin, Yue Ayajing has a cup!" Wu Yueya said calmly, dissolving the sudden tense atmosphere.
Li Heng once again showed a smug look, very flattering words, and at the same time pretended to be drunk, waved his hand to the side, and motioned for the guards outside the screen to leave.
These Wu Yueya saw it in their eyes, and didn't say anything, but they were a little disdainful in their hearts, until they left the East Palace and got into the car, they shook their heads helplessly.
She is neither Liu Xuande nor Cao Mengde, she is the princess of the country, and she was originally a grass person in their eyes.
Back at the princess's mansion, it was already late at night, the night sky was dark and deep without end, because of the reason of being a guest in the prince's mansion, he was not full at all, and he asked the kitchen to prepare some food, and at the same time, he felt that Li Heng, the prince, was really naïve, and he pretended to be a teacher.
In fact, after she left the East Palace, Li Linfu also appeared in the same pavilion, but the two were not-for-tat.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince, this beating, the princess of the Protector should know to be more restrained in front of the saint, the holy grace is not exclusive to her!" Li Linfu showed a fox-like smile, these wines from the Western Regions were brought by him, and no saint rewarded the prince with this, these years, the saint has not visited the East Palace once at all, let alone specially summoned the prince, it seems that he deliberately snubbed, seizing this, Li Linfu easily provoked the contradiction between the prince and the princess.
Today's events are also secretly promoted by him behind his back.
"Hahaha, right minister, with you to assist my father, my Datang will be infinitely brilliant, such a fine wine, it's really rare, come on, I salute the right minister!"
"Your Highness laughed! However, there is also a treasure to give to His Royal Highness, which is also a specialty of the Western Regions, called the Eight Treasures Luminous Cup..."The latest chapter of "Steamed Tang Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
