Inner Court.

Emperor Li Zhi did not eat with the prime ministers, but ate alone with the Wu family. The dish is made by Wu's own hands, a few simple dishes, the green-skinned cucumber of Tegong in Lantian County, and the Wu family made a hand-shot cucumber according to the craftsmanship learned in Lijiazhuang, Lanxi.

The fresh small river fish in the Yellow River are wrapped in flour and fried, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. A dish of tender wild vegetables in the field, after boiling water, use pressed rapeseed oil to quickly fry the pot in an iron pot, put some dried chili peppers and minced garlic, full of fragrance.

There is also Liaodong ginseng stewed black chicken, which is also delicious soup.

"Why is Your Majesty hiding from Li Xiao?" Wu had already seen the meaning of the emperor's absence from introspection.

Li Zhi laughed twice, "I really can't hide anything from Concubine Ai, it's strange to say, when Li Ji said that he wanted to summon Li Xiao to face the saint, I subconsciously didn't want to see him." ”

"Your Majesty hates him?"

"It's a little, but I don't want to see him because I hate him, in fact, let's have more contact with Li Xiao, I think this person is very real, he is not as easy to disguise as ordinary people, he is not pretentious. He's the only one who can make me angry and still make me want to play with him. ”

Wu smiled slightly.

Li Xiao is indeed very straightforward, she has met Li Xiao a few times, and she always feels that this person has a feeling of being a neighbor, and when she gets along with him, she always feels that there is no barrier, and she is naturally close. This person speaks directly, but it doesn't make people feel offended.

"Aifei, you don't know, I've been bitten by this kid several times, but looking back, I think it's quite interesting. I am the Son of Heaven, who dares to be angry with me in normal times, not to mention now, even when I was the king of Jin and the prince in the past, no one dared to be angry with me. ”

"Isn't Uncle Changsun always angry with Your Majesty?" Wu added a bowl of chicken soup to the emperor, perhaps because he was in a good mood today, and the emperor's appetite was also excellent, and he usually only ate half a bowl of rice, but today he had already eaten a bowl of rice and drank a bowl of soup, and said that he was not full.

"That's different, Uncle Changsun and Chu Suiliang are angry, I am really angry, I have no place to breathe, and I often can't stretch my breath in my heart. But this Li Xiao, although sometimes he speaks angrily, he is not too annoying, a little blocked, but it is not a big deal. Besides, if he's angry, I can still fight back. ”

There are comings and goings, it's quite interesting, for example, when he had dinner at Xue Rengui's house that day, he didn't also tease Li Xiao for finally making him a cook, and Li Xiao's facial expression was very good-looking at that time.

"Your Majesty is really interesting, and he likes to play with a country man."

"It's not the same as making a fool." Li Zhi shook his head, what is the point of just teasing a fool, but Li Xiao is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart. He likes to play with Li Xiao, the key is that Li Xiao doesn't know his identity, and the feeling of treating him as an ordinary person is very novel and interesting.

No one else dared to talk to the emperor like this.

"I see, no wonder the emperor refuses to see Li Xiao. However, His Majesty really trusts Li Xiao, and directly awarded him the post of corn supervisor. ”

"It's just a little corn correction, who would object to that. Besides, even if Uncle Changsun Guo was dissatisfied, he was planning to see me and Li Ji laugh at them in a hundred days, and he wished that I would give Li Xiao a higher official today and set up a higher-level corn prison, so that it would be more difficult to end up at that time. ”

Wu handed the chicken soup to the emperor, and Li Zhi took it, picked up the spoon and drank two sips.

"Aifei's chicken soup stew is really more and more delicious, and it is better than the imperial chef's skills in the imperial dining room."

"Your Majesty likes to drink it, and the concubines are very honored. In fact, this soup is delicious, thanks to Li Xiao, the concubine asked him for some cooking secrets last time, and Li Xiao taught a lot. In this soup, a little secret ingredient is added, and it tastes much fresher and mellower. ”

"That kid is a geek." Li Zhi sighed, when it comes to cooking, he really admires Li Xiao. He has golden branches and jade leaves, and he has never eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas, but the best times he has eaten them is the few times in Lijiazhuang.

"One day, I'll go to Lijiazhuang again when I have time."

"Go back, the last time Your Majesty went to Lijiazhuang, it ended up unhappily." Wu covered his mouth and chuckled.

Li Zhi smiled, "This time I won't fall for Li Xiao again, I will be squeezed away by him in a few words, I won't leave if I go, whatever he says, I won't leave if I don't eat him a meal." By the way, I just happened to go to see Princess Tamase, and I don't know if she's been in a better mood lately. ”

"Your Majesty also plans to take a look at how Li Xiao grows corn by the way, right?" Wu Dao.

Li Zhi nodded, he still attaches great importance to this corn, if it is really as Li Xiao said, this corn is so magical, it is really a godsend. How much grain can be increased for the Tang Dynasty at that time, especially in the border areas such as Longyou and Hexi, if there are such miraculous crops, they will be planted in the border army at that time, so as to be self-sufficient and avoid the pain of military grain transportation.

In addition, in the future, if Liaodong and Goguryeo are conquered, the bitter cold land can also be planted with corn, and if you can get grain on the spot, you can station more soldiers, and even move more people to reclaim.

Li Xiao went to the palace and did not see the emperor of the Ninety-Five Supreme.

Of course, I didn't see the emperor's six palace fandel, he only had a gallery meal in the front court, and then he was sent out of the palace, and the emperor's six palace fandel was in the back court, in the same palace, but the difference was far away, separated by overlapping palace gates.

But he didn't fantasize about seeing any Liugong Fandel, to be honest, what a peerless city, he didn't believe it at all, not to mention that people in the two eras have different aesthetic concepts, even if they are the same, but in this era, whether it is cosmetics or makeup technology, it is not an order of magnitude.

What kind of beauty Li Xiao has never seen in later generations, Chinese foreign, black, white, yellow, brown, and even worn, etc., can be said to be all kinds of well-informed.

There are really few beauties in the Tang Dynasty that make Li Xiao particularly amazing, even if it is the emperor's woman, the essence of the world, but he is not expected to be much stronger.

He had seen many photos of concubines in the Qing Dynasty on the Internet before, well, judging from Li Xiao's aesthetics, it was worse than ordinary people in later generations. After all, which girl in the future will not know how to wear makeup and dress up, and then wear the fashion personality point, which one is put in the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that she will have to charm the harem.

Riding a horse on the edge of Suzaku Street, Li Xiao didn't think about the harem fandel, and he didn't have time to think about how to improve the saddle, what he was thinking about now was that he seemed to be a little against the original intention at the beginning.

How did he become a eunuch of the Tang Dynasty in a daze?

Although this eunuch is not this eunuch, but this is also a serious Tang Dynasty civil servant, from the actual position under the six grades, he is a middle-level leader, and he is in charge of a small department, he is a leader.

How come there are more than 100 people under his hands?

When you become an official of the Li family, you have to be under the management of the Li family.

But think about it on the other hand, plant corn well, let the emperors and prime ministers see the effect of corn, and believe that they will promote corn, which can be regarded as a wealth left for this empire by coming to Datang by yourself.

Thinking about it this way, Li Xiao no longer struggled with why he agreed to be an official again. After all, this official is also a little different from the other official.

I, Lao Li, am not an official for the sake of being an official, not for the sake of power, I am here to benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty.

After all, he has corn in his hands all over the world, how can he destroy the heavens.
