Chapter Thirty-Seven: Rafting and Talking

There are still occasional ice cubes floating on the water in the Taiye Pool, but this bit of ice will undoubtedly have no effect on the construction of the boat, and it will not let the boat follow in the footsteps of a certain number.

Whether Xuan Shijing saw Jinyang for the first time in the palace, or later entered the palace one after another, the only thing he could do in a heavily guarded place like the palace was to accompany Jinyang to eat and drink.

Change tricks to get some food for Jinyang, perhaps, this is the so-called If you want to capture a girl's heart, you must first capture her stomach

While Xuan Shijing asked the little eunuch to pack up the boat, he also went to the kitchen of the warm pavilion and packed up some ingredients.

The warm pavilion is a courtyard in the palace, all the equipment is the most complete among many palaces, this warm pavilion before Jinyang moved in, almost became the palace of His Majesty Li Er and the queen mother in the princess's palace, and then Jinyang stayed in the warm pavilion, it has never been from the food bureau to pass the meal, all the food is supplied by the small kitchen here in the warm pavilion.

Said to be a small boat, in fact, it is not small, not to mention that it can accommodate more than five or six people, with a double-layer copper stove, cut two catties of mutton, Xuan Shijing looked at it in the small kitchen, there were vegetables, and they were all brought with them as soon as they were packed, and the thick soup boiled in the kitchen was just used as a base pot, and then cut two green onion segments, the most regrettable thing is that Datang has no chili peppers now.

In winter, boating in the Taiye Pond, by the way, cooking hot pot on the boat, is really a unique flavor.

There is a charcoal fire burning under the copper stove, the thick soup in the upper basin is boiling, pick up a piece of cut thin mutton slices and soak it in the pot a few times, take it out and dip it in the sauce, put it in the mouth, the taste is rich, and the mutton is also fresh and fragrant and fatty.

"Brother Jing really enjoys it, how did he think of going to eat hot pot in this liquid pool?" Jin Yang asked while sipping on spinach.

"Because there's really nothing else to do in the palace." Xuan Shijing said with a smile, the sun was just right in the winter afternoon, and there was no wind, so he didn't put down the curtains around the boat, so he could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Taiye Pool up close while eating.

Because Xuan Shijing's right hand is still wrapped in white yarn, the matter of shabu-shabu can only be done by the little eunuch who serves beside him, the little eunuch kneels beside Xuan Shijing, puts the cooked vegetables and meat on the plate in front of Xuan Shijing, and then Xuan Shijing clumsily picks up the dipping sauce with chopsticks in his left hand, and then sends it to his mouth.

"Brother Jing, tell me about Tubo." Jin Yang looked at Xuan Shijing and said.

"Huh? How can you be interested in Tibet? Xuan Shijing was puzzled.

"What if Tubo and Datang really get along?" Jin Yang wrinkled his nose and said, "Brother Jing has lived in West Kunlun for more than ten years, and it is only a mountain away from Tubo, so Brother Jing must be very familiar with that side." ”

Xuan Shijing smiled: "Don't worry, Brother Jing won't let you marry to Tubo, even if everyone in the court agrees, Brother Jing can snatch you back from the middle of the road, don't be a princess in the future, follow Brother Jing and I to Erxian Village, let's wander the world together." ”

Xuan Shijing's words and his ideals also made Jinyang, who grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, yearn for it, what kind of feeling would it be to wander the world?

"Son, in fact, this time I boated with you in the Taiye Pond, also to make up for the regret of the past few days in Xuanwu Lake, I originally gathered on the Xuanwu Lake painting boat to enjoy the scenery, which was an elegant and comfortable thing, but I didn't expect that kind of thing." Xuan Shijing smiled bitterly.

"Brother Jing, don't say that, it's not Brother Jing's fault, no one expected that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the Tang Emperor would appear as an assassin from Goguryeo, not to mention, it was Brother Jing who was injured, but the son was unharmed." Jin Yang said with a smile.

"Never again." Xuan Shijing raised his head and sighed: "Brother Jing promised his son that he would never let his son get hurt again, okay." ”

"It's a deal." Jin Yang palmed his hand at Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing was stunned for a moment, then smiled, stood in his left hand, and high-fived Jin Yang.

This palm is the promise of a lifetime.

"In this situation, it would be better if there was good wine." Jin Yang looked at the scenery outside and said with regret.

"Children are not allowed to drink." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "My son is still young, how about drinking this wine when I grow up in the future, and promise Brother Jing?" ”

Although Datang's alcohol content is not high, Jinyang is a minor after all, and drinking alcohol is not good for her body.

"Okay." Jin Yang saw that Xuan Shijing was serious, so he nodded seriously and agreed: "However, Brother Jing, you have to tell me how you blocked Gao Huanquan and Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan from proposing peace in the Lin De Palace." ”

"It's simple, especially Gao Huanquan, the two wine glasses are smashed out and he will be honest immediately, in fact, even if I don't say it, Your Majesty will not like Gao Huanquan, after all, His Majesty has already seen his cowardice a few days ago, how can Your Majesty be willing to marry his baby daughter to this kind of man?" Xuan Shijing smiled: "Besides, the Tang Dynasty should not be friendly with Goguryeo"

"That's right." Jin Yang nodded and agreed: "Although the surrounding Fanbang is respectful to Datang on the surface, but in the past few years, there have been a lot of secret actions, Datang needs a chicken to deter this group of monkeys jumping up and down, Brother Jing, you said that what the son said is right." ”

"Yes, Goguryeo is undoubtedly the best choice." Xuan Shijing smiled: "Your description of killing chickens and setting an example of monkeys is very interesting. ”

"It was." Jin Yang pouted: "What about Tubo?" What did Brother Jing say to Lu Dongzan? If it is Tibet, if it is close to the Tang Dynasty, there is an eighty percent possibility. ”

"Tubo is also very easy to fool, I Lu Dongzan said that the environment in Tubo is too difficult for my son to live there, and I told Lu Dongzan that the strong sergeants of the Tang Dynasty have been abolished when they arrive in Tubo, and most of them are wasted. Doesn't that scare the hell out of him? ”

Xuan Shijing's tone was very relaxed, Lu Dongzan was also a character, how could Xuan Shijing be fooled back with such a few words? Therefore, Xuan Shijing and Li Tai will wonder if Lu Dongzan wants to win the polo match with Datang and then do something else, but this kind of thing is handled by Xuan Shijing and Li Chengqian, and there is no need to make Jinyang more troubled.

"It's as simple as that? But I heard that the great minister of Tubo is also a great character! Jin Yang looked at Xuan Shijing in disbelief.

"He can indeed be regarded as a great figure, he put the young Songtsen Gampo on the seat of Zampu with one hand, and even suppressed many old-school nobles in Tibet, but no matter how smart a person is, he looks pale in the face of absolute strength." Xuan Shijing said: "As long as Your Majesty is unwilling to make peace with Tubo and the Minister of Chinese Wu does not support it, then no matter how much Lu Dongzan does, it will be in vain." ”

It's just that I don't know what His Majesty Li Er and the ministers in the court think. (To be continued.) )
