Chapter Ninety-Four: A Peculiar Reward
Not to mention, the dinner prepared by the emperor is really sumptuous enough, if it is placed in the future generations, I am afraid that I will not be able to take a million, not to mention all kinds of mountain delicacies, not to mention the skills of the imperial kitchen, to be able to eat such delicious, Li Xiang also feels that it is in vain. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIf it is a thousand years from now, even if you have money, I am afraid that you will not be able to eat such food.
Seeing Li Xiang's appearance of eating and drinking, the little princess couldn't help but snicker, because it was the first time she had seen Li Xiang eat like this! It's true that those concubines and princesses in the palace are tired of eating these every day, so naturally they are not as greedy as Li Xiang.
Emperor Lizong also laughed and said: "Aiqing, you eat slowly, the princess who saw me was about to burst into laughter!" ”
Li Xiang's old face turned red (because his psychological age was more than eighteen years old), stopped, and saw that the emperor, the concubine and the princess were all staring at him, and said in his heart that he was embarrassed and embarrassed now, and he was just taking care of eating food, and he almost forgot the person in front of him, but the emperor has a family of three!
Li Xiang had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, the food in this palace is really delicious, Weichen couldn't hold back for a while, which made the emperor laugh!" ”
The little princess giggled: "I didn't expect our great talent to be a delicious guy!" Look at you like you haven't eaten in hundreds of years! I'm laughing to death! ”
Li Xiang said in his heart, haven't you just eaten it for hundreds of years? Time and space travel, from 2016 to 1255, isn't that more than 700 years? Besides, Li Xiang had never eaten this imperial meal in his previous life, and only those rich people could eat a royal meal that was not very authentic. In fact, to put it bluntly, the so-called imperial meals pushed out by the restaurant are just gimmicks, and there is really no way to compare with the ancient imperial meals, these are pure natural green foods.
Li Xiang smiled and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess eats these delicacies every day, so naturally she doesn't think it's good, but it is the first time for Weichen to eat so many delicious meals, so he can't help but have a big appetite, which makes Her Royal Highness the princess smile!" ”
The little princess suddenly stood up, picked up a mutton fat jade bowl in front of her, walked up to Li Xiang, put it in front of him and said, "Okay, this is the soup that this princess gave you, how about tasting it?" ”
Li Xiang was dumbfounded, because this soup had just been drunk by the princess, which seemed a little inappropriate, raised his eyes and looked at the emperor and the concubine, only to see that the two of them began to bury their heads in eating as if they hadn't seen anything, Li Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this princess is really good, how can she take the soup she drank to reward herself! Does this count as indirectly eating the princess's saliva, or indirectly kissing the princess?
How did the little princess know that Li Xiang would think so complicated, in fact, she just thought that this soup was very delicious, and it was one of the best imperial meals in the palace, Li Xiang didn't have it in front of her, so she would do this, if she knew that Li Xiang thought of that, she would definitely die of shame, and she would not reward Li Xiang.
But Li Xiang looked down and saw that there seemed to be nothing in this mutton fat jade bowl, it was completely an empty bowl, what did this little princess mean? Rewarded yourself with an empty bowl and said let yourself drink soup? Is this testing yourself?
Li Xiang still remembers the texts he learned when he was a child, one is the emperor's new clothes, and the other refers to the deer as a horse, all of which are about things in the court, but the meaning is a little similar, in layman's terms, that is, to learn to talk nonsense with your eyes open.
How can you drink without soup, Li Xiang's head is big! What is the princess testing herself?
Seeing Li Xiang hesitating there, the little princess giggled and said, "Li Xiang, drink, can't you drink what this princess has drunk?" ”
Li Xiang looked at it carefully, there was no soup in the bowl, it was clearly an empty bowl, but why did the princess let herself drink it?
Could it be that the princess is teasing herself? But she doesn't look like her!
How do you know that the princess smiled and said: "It turns out that you haven't seen it, great talent, there is really soup in this bowl!" Don't believe you, put a jade spoon and take a look? ”
Li Xiang looked at the princess's delicate face, it really didn't look like he was lying to himself, and thought to himself, what the hell is there in this soup? Drink it, drink it, treat it as drinking air, then you have to drink it!
Li Xiang picked up a jade spoon and put it in the jade bowl, and suddenly he froze, it turned out that there was really soup in this jade bowl, but he didn't see it.
I saw that the jade spoon was put into the jade bowl, encountered the resistance of the soup, and then there was a ripple, the original look empty mutton fat jade bowl, it turned out that there was really soup, the original soup was completely transparent, and it looked similar to the mutton fat jade, so if you don't pay attention, you really can't see that there is soup.
Li Xiang picked up the jade spoon, scooped it up, put it to his mouth and tasted it, not to mention that the princess really didn't lie to him, the taste of this soup was excellent, and the whole person felt that there was a sense of excitement after taking a sip.
The princess giggled: "This princess didn't lie to you, this is the best broth in the imperial dining room, even the princes and ministers can't drink it, it's cheaper for you!" ”
Li Xiang couldn't help but exclaim: "This is actually broth, I can't see it at all!" ”
After that, Li Xiang directly picked up the mutton fat jade bowl, and drank it all with a grunt, in fact, this jade bowl is too small, at most two hundred milliliters, after drinking, it is still unfinished, Li Xiang picked up the jade bowl again, stretched out his tongue to make the bowl wall **** clean.
At this moment, whether it was the emperor, the concubine, the princess, or even those palace maids, they couldn't help laughing, but those palace maids didn't dare to laugh, they just tried their best to hold back.
The princess giggled and said, "Look at you, you don't look like a great talent at all!" It's like a beggar who hasn't eaten in days! ”
Li Xiang said: "I can't imagine that this soup can be made like this, this is simply amazing, it seems that I still underestimate others!" Your Royal Highness Princess, don't talk about any great talents, in fact, I am so level, and I am far from being talented! ”
Emperor Lizong smiled and said, "Aiqing, don't be too modest!" In my eyes, you are the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty, work hard, don't let me down! ”
Li Xiang hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "Yes, the emperor, Weichen will do his best to serve the emperor!" ”
Emperor Lizong waved his hand and said, "No, you are not working for me, but for the Great Song Dynasty and the people of the Great Song Dynasty!" Today, in the early dynasty, I offended many ministers for Aiqing! The position of the chief envoy of the Ordnance Supervision and Artillery Production is reserved for Aiqing! ”
Li Xiang had to pretend to be grateful and said: "Emperor Xie, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”
Emperor Lizong said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this artillery production institute can only rest assured if Aiqing is in charge!" In the future, whether the Great Song army can become strong depends on Aiqing! Come, continue to eat, don't be too polite, just eat! ”
Although the emperor let Li Xiang eat openly, Li Xiang was embarrassed, so he could only learn from the princess, always taste it, and restore his proper etiquette as a prisoner of the country.
