In the carriage, seeing Wu Jue put on the mask again, Tang Xiao felt a little at a loss.

The two didn't say anything all the way, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

The carriage went all the way to the south, through the Guanghua Gate in the north of Chang'an City, and it didn't take long to turn into Andingfang.

In front of the Anle Palace, the carriage stopped steadily. Tang Xiao was not in a hurry to get out of the car, and Wu Jue did not urge him. The two stared at each other like this, and they were extremely embarrassed.

"...... you" Tang Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "You kidnapped me today, aren't you worried at all?" ”

"You mean Your Majesty?"

Tang Xiao nodded and said, "You have just resigned, and I am afraid that such behavior will cause dissatisfaction among His Majesty and the courtiers." ”

Hearing this, Wu Jue chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry, maybe Your Majesty hopes that I can make some mistakes and express my dissatisfaction." I'm sure Your Majesty won't punish me, but you...... You should go and meet the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. ”

Tang Xiao nodded: "Even if you don't say it, I have to go and see it." ”

The grandmother of the Queen Mother of Yong'an Palace is his biggest talisman, and the Empress of the Eldest Sun should also go to see it. After today's incident, he can see that there is only a dead end to fight alone, and only by uniting all the forces that can be united, building his own network, taking every step of the way, and seeking victory in stability.

Today in the court, he can feel the helplessness of the imperial uncle, and at the same time see the cruel side of reality. Those big families are indeed a big tumor.

Thinking of those cases of forming parties and running private interests in the history of his previous life, Tang Xiao's mood suddenly became extremely heavy.

Seeing that Tang Xiao was about to get out of the car, Wu Jue hesitated for a moment and called out to him: "Your Highness." ”

Tang Xiao turned his head and cast an inquiring look.

"You have to keep Xu Saburo's secret and don't let others know."

Tang Xiao pursed his lips and was speechless for a while.

This should be a begging for him, right? Why does it smell of threats and orders?

"Put your heart in your belly! Even if I say it, no one will believe it. ”

Dropping this sentence, Tang Xiao hurriedly jumped out of the car and slipped away. When he entered the palace, the carriage turned around and drove all the way to the palace.

Shen Xingchen had been guarding in front of the palace for most of the day, and he had already noticed the carriage parked in front of the palace. Seeing Tang Xiao get out of the car, he hurriedly caught up and followed behind.

"Little prince, Your Majesty has sent people to look for you and the Marquis of Zhenbei everywhere."

Tang Xiao nodded and asked, "Is there any other news coming from today's matter?" ”

"Knowing that you were robbed by the Marquis of Zhenbei, no one mentioned the matter of the Chai family's son again. The city was full of arrests for those who slandered the Marquis of Zhenbei, and Chai Shao personally sent his son to the Yamen of Dali Temple. ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiao was a little surprised. He didn't expect things to be magically reversed, it was really what Wu Jue said.

"What's going on with Dali Temple?"

"My subordinates only heard that it is related to Fang Xianggong."

Tang Xiao nodded, and commanded in a cold voice: "Xingchen, you let people go and find out, who are behind this matter, and find out all of them to this king!" ”

"Little prince, my subordinates have already sent someone to investigate, and it is estimated that there will be news soon."

Shen Xingchen was able to do these things in advance, Tang Xiao was not surprised, and nodded with satisfaction.

In the kitchen of the palace, Chef Fan, father and son, were preparing food for the evening. On the side of the board are pumpkin, cabbage, radish and other vegetables, as well as beef and mutton, tofu, wild mushrooms, and half a fan of meat, and there are a few crucian carp in the basin on the ground.

Chef Fan, father and son, are from Xiangyang and have been in the palace for ten years. The father and son can be said to be Tang Xiao's loyal brain-dead fans, and they have long admired the ability of the little prince in the house. If it weren't for Xiao Wang's instructions not to reveal the matter of teaching cooking skills, the father and son would probably have known to the whole house.

Chef Fan still remembers the scene when he arrived at the palace at the beginning of that year, and the little prince rushed into the kitchen to give him instructions. At that time, he didn't think so, thinking that a four or five-year-old child could understand anything, let alone a little prince. However, the result made him dumbfounded, and made him suddenly feel that the little prince in front of him was the god of food in the sky?

Since then, the little prince will come to the kitchen every once in a while to teach him to cook some dishes, and sometimes the little prince will cook himself, so scared that he hurried to the door to control the wind.

The gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and he can't let people see the scene of the noble little prince busy in the kitchen. Although the people in the house are accustomed to the strange behavior of the little prince, he still doesn't want the little prince to be criticized again because of this incident.

While thinking about these past events, Chef Fan instructed his son to dispose of a few crucian carp. He heard that the little prince had just returned home and should still be hungry, so he prepared to fry a few side dishes and make a crucian carp tofu soup that the little prince liked to eat.

"Your Highness, why are you here!"

Hearing his son's shout, Chef Fan looked back and saw the little prince walking into the kitchen, hurriedly stopped what he was doing and bowed.

"Old Fan, don't be polite, you're busy."

Tang Xiao habitually walked around the kitchen, and found that there were still dried bamboo sunflowers, and asked curiously: "Old Fan, why is there this baby?" ”

Bamboo sunflower is a type of mushroom that is similar to mushrooms, but much more expensive than mushrooms. It grows in the bamboo forests of Sichuan, Shu and Jingzhou, and it is difficult to see it locally, let alone in Chang'an City.

"Your Highness, Lao Fan knows that you like to eat this thing, so I brought a big bag with me when I left home."

Tang Xiao nodded, looked back at the half of the pork on the board, and thought about whether to make a bamboo rib soup and bring it into the palace to taste it for grandma in a while.

"Lao Fan, this king is going to visit his grandmother in the palace in a while, you make a dish of braised beef, a honey-steamed pumpkin, as well as millet meatballs, tofu meatloaf, beef egg custard, and a crucian carp tofu soup."

Hearing this, Chef Fan hurriedly nodded and instructed his son to prepare the ingredients.

Cutting meat, washing rice, lighting a fire, ingredients, and being busy, Chef Fan saw that the little prince was about to deal with the bones removed from the meat, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

"Your Highness, don't do anything, it's useless for you to take these meat and bones! Since you want to give these dishes to the Queen Mother and her old people, you can't use meat! ”

"Old Fan, this king asks you, how is the dish made of pork better than beef and mutton?"

Chef Fan hesitated for a moment, but replied honestly: "If you use His Highness's method to cook, it will naturally be the best in the world!" ”

Although pork has long been popular among the low-level people, it is still a filth that cannot be put on the table among those princes and nobles. It's a reason why it's not delicious, but it's more important that people don't handle pork in this era.

When Chef Fan saw that the little prince wanted to use pork as an ingredient for the first time, he was so frightened that he kowtowed for a long time and didn't let the little prince give up. It was precisely because of that time that Chef Fan was obsessed with studying pork-based dishes, and he had a lot of experience.

Although Chef Fan is just a cook, he also has a great dream.

He hoped that one day, pork would be admired by the aristocracy and the powerful.

Tang Xiao looked at Chef Fan, threw away the meat and bones in his hand, and said with a smile: "Today, this king will show you another hand, so that you can know that even a pork bone that everyone in the world spurns will become the best delicacy!" ”
