Chapter 2 33: Spiritual Troubles

"What is this?" Jin Yang saw that the snow-white porcelain bowl was filled with white and tender soup, and five or six round "snow balls" were lying in the bowl. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Back to His Royal Highness, the name of this food is Tangyuan'er, it is a new food made by the Hou Ye and his wife after returning to the house this night, so I sent some to the palace, specially took care of the people's women, and personally sent the princess to this warm pavilion." Sister-in-law Liu said.

Hearing that Sister-in-law Liu said that this was something that Xuan Shijing specially sent into the palace, Jin Yang became curious, picked up the spoon in the bowl, scooped a round rice ball, put it to his mouth and blew it, and took a bite gently.

"It's so sweet." Jin Yang exclaimed, he has eaten a lot of pastries since he was a child, but none of them can catch up with this sweet rice ball.

"Your Highness, the filling of this rice ball is ground into powder with fine sesame seeds, mixed with frosting, and it will be a little greasy if you eat too much, so you need to drink some soup." Sister-in-law Liu reminded her.

Jin Yang nodded and continued to eat the dumplings in the bowl.

The things were delivered, and it was naturally inconvenient for Sister-in-law Liu to stay in this warm pavilion for a long time, and after saying goodbye to Jinyang, she went out of the palace under the leadership of Yulin Jun in the palace.

In the Spirit Hall, the royal family members who were guarding the spirits in the hall had been hungry all day, and even if they were eating, they were just some round cakes with soup to satisfy their hunger.

When it was time to arrive, there was a eunuch from the Shang Food Bureau who came to the spirit hall with a food box to deliver food to everyone, and it was still a dry cake that was difficult to swallow.

The three Li Chengqian brothers opened the food box with a helpless face, but found that the food box of the three was different from the contents of other people's food boxes, three large bowls, each bowl contained seven or eight rice balls, and this was the supper prepared by Xuan Shijing for the three brothers.

The three brothers looked puzzled at the eunuch who came to deliver food.

The eunuch saw that the three highnesses were looking at him like this, and hurriedly explained: "The three highnesses, this is the food sent into the palace by the Marquis of Dongshan outside the palace, and the Ganlu Hall and the Warm Pavilion are also sent, and the Hou Ye said that the three highnesses are also hungry in the spirit hall and have not eaten much for a day, so let His Highness eat some rice balls at night, and there are some cakes under the food box for the three highnesses to fill their hunger." ”

"Xiao Jing did this beautifully!" After Li Tai heard this, he smiled and sighed, originally every time he ate, Li Tai was a meatless and unhappy master, otherwise he would not have raised his physique so richly, and let him nibble on the baked cakes for a day, which is simply a kind of torture.

"That...... His Royal Highness the King of Wei...... Hou Ye said that it is now the period of filial piety for the emperor, so this rice ball is also vegetarian. The little eunuch cautiously reminded.

Vegetarian? ...... In an instant, the smile on Li Tai's face turned invisible, and he returned to his loveless appearance.

Li Ke and Li Chengqian had already picked up the porcelain bowl, and began to scoop the rice balls in the bowl with a soup spoon and began to eat.

Li Tai picked up the bowl and only ate two bites, and then he couldn't stop anymore.

The three of them were holding a bowl in the spirit hall to eat supper, and the people around them were envious, jealous and hateful, and they were also sent by the Shangshi Bureau, why did people have special care, and they could only eat dry cakes?

Looking at the dry biscuits in their hands, everyone just felt that it was more difficult to swallow......

"Come here!" Finally, Li You couldn't help but drop the dry cake in his hand on the ground, pointed to Li Chengqian, and said to the eunuch of the Shangshi Bureau: "Get a bowl for this king, go quickly!" ”

"This ......" The little eunuch of the Shangshi Bureau hesitated, where to get it for him, it was something sent into the palace by the Hou Ye of the Dongshan Hou Mansion outside the palace, and the masters of the Shangshi Bureau had never eaten it, how did he make it?

When Li Ke heard Li You's words, he silently turned his head to look at his younger brother Li Su, who was kneeling beside him and honestly gnawing on dry cakes, and handed the remaining four rice balls, along with the bowl, to Li Su.

"Eat something hot." Li Ke whispered.

Li Su raised his head, looked at Li Ke who was looking at him softly, and was inexplicably moved in his heart, gently took the porcelain bowl in Li Ke's hand, and devoured it.

There weren't many rice balls, Li Ke ate three by himself, and the remaining four were eaten by Li Ke.

Li You saw that Li Su, who had been messing with him all day, could eat a mouthful of hot soup, and he was even more resentful in his heart, and said angrily to the little eunuch of the Shang Food Bureau: "Didn't you hear what this king said? ”

The little eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, it's not that the small ones don't give to Your Highness, it's just that the food was sent to the palace by the Marquis of Dongshan, and there is no such food in the Shangshi Bureau." The little eunuch said tremblingly, for fear that if one of them didn't get it right, his little life would have to be buried in the hands of His Royal Highness King Qi.

"Waste, the food that can be made by just one Hou Mansion, you still food bureau cooks can't even get it, what's the use of keeping it for you!" Li You said angrily.

"Why should the fifth brother be angry?" Li Tai saw that Li You was angry with the little eunuch of the Yishang Food Bureau in this mourning hall, and he couldn't look past it, so he said: "This is the mourning hall of the Emperor Taishang, I can keep the spirit of the Emperor here, the fifth brother is so loud, if the spirit of the Emperor is shocked, the fifth brother can bear it?" ”

"Humph!" Li You snorted coldly, didn't pay attention to Li Tai, and said to the little eunuch of the Shang Food Bureau: "This king can't control so much, since there is no soup ball, even if he gets some hot soup and hot water for this king to eat, it is really difficult to swallow after gnawing on dry cakes for a day." ”

Li You's words can be said to be the voice of most of the people present, if Li Chengqian and others also eat dry cakes together, it is estimated that these people will not be able to say anything, but this person, once a bowl of water is uneven, it is easy to have disputes.

Li Chengqian looked around at the people in the spirit hall, and saw that everyone was moved after hearing Li You's words, so he said loudly to the little eunuch of the Shangshi Bureau next to him: "Put away these dry cakes and take them back to the Shangshi Bureau." ”

Li Chengqian's words were serious, and everyone in the palace thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was blaming Li You for making a loud noise in this spirit hall and disturbing the heroic spirit of the Emperor Taishang, so they lowered their heads one after another, not daring to show anything.

"Your Highness, this ......." the little eunuch was embarrassed, although this dry cake is unpalatable, but fortunately, it can also satisfy hunger, tonight everyone in the temple will keep vigil all night, if you don't eat some dry cakes, how can you persist in the second half of the night.

"It's not that you don't want them to eat it, you take these dry cakes back, go back to the pot and make them, choke the pot with green onions, stir-fry some vegetarian vegetables, then put some sauce and add half a pot of water, after boiling, cut the cakes into small pieces and put them in a bowl, pour the hot soup into them, and then bring them again." Li Chengqian said. (To be continued.) )
