Chapter 52: Xuanzong's Preferences

"Brother Liu, we've been drinking this wine for a few hours, you can see that it's dark outside." Yan Yong pointed to the night sky outside, "Do you want someone to arrange a place for me to rest." Yan Yong slapped "Quick Knife Liu" with his hand. "Kuaidao Liu" looked up and saw that it was indeed dark, and said after a while: "It's not the first time you've come to me, don't you just go by yourself, and let people arrange coquettishness." Yan Yong said helplessly: "It's my coquettishness, I'll find a place to rest by myself." After saying that, he pushed the door and walked out.

After Yan Yong left, "Kuaidao Liu" picked up the wine glass and drank three more glasses before standing up, picked up the wine jar on the table, opened the seal, looked inside with his eyes, and then put it in his ear and shook it, and only stopped when he heard the sound of the wine jar in the wine jar, and picked up the uneaten peanuts from the table with one hand and the other hand and walked towards the room where Qingyu slept.

The form is drunk but the heart is not drunk. "Kuaidao Liu" and Yan Yong drank a few jars of wine, but they still remembered in their hearts that they were still doing serious things, stumbling through the corridor to the room where Qingyu slept, pushing the door and entering, and saw Qingyuyi lying flat on the bed, putting the wine and food on the table, "Kuaidao Liu" continued to drink.

At night, in the Qianqing Palace, Xuanzong was holding a verdant grass branch and teasing the "king of crickets" in the jar. While teasing, he also said to the crickets in the jar: "Come, give me a few calls, I will be rewarded." Xuanzong spoke to the crickets in the tone of a minister.

The "King of Crickets" vibrated his wings as if to please and let out a few cries: "Chirp, squeak." Xuanzong took a piece of pastry from the plate and threw it in, the "King of Crickets" jumped on top of the cake and devoured it, and the "King of Crickets" made Xuanzong laugh again.

Jin Ying stood aside and frowned, very anxious, and looked at the funnel on the table, at this time, it was already three o'clock, and he was about to enter Zishi, Xuanzong did not have the slightest sleepiness, and Jin Ying was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Xuanzong approved Jin Ying to rest for a few days, originally Yan Yong was on duty today, but he was called by Jin Ying to do something, so he had to come over and bear it himself. Jin Ying returned to the capital and heard that Xuanzong's body was abnormal, and his sleep was not compliant, these **** went to Shangshan to supervise Xuanzong's diet records, and through repeated comparisons, he found that Xuanzong recently liked a dish of "steamed lobster with garlic open back", which included onions, ginger, garlic and other accessories.

The imperial doctor said to Jin Ying that these three kinds of ingredients have the effects of dispersing carbuncles and swelling, dispelling wind and killing poisonous gas, and one thing is that it is very irritating, and the ginger among them is better than ginseng soup in the morning; I eat it at night, but I have poisoned it. Ginger fever can make people angry, excited, and injured, so they should not eat more. Speaking of the back, the imperial physician asked curiously, "Lord Chief, why are you asking this?" ”

Jin Ying smiled and said, "Recently, I got a home remedy saying that Jiang warms my stomach, and I happened to have an uncomfortable stomach recently, so I came to ask." The Imperial Doctor looked at Jin Ying and nodded suspiciously and returned to the Imperial Hospital.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to fall asleep." Jin Ying carefully reminded Xuanzong by the side, Xuanzong put down the book in his hand to find prestige, and saw that it was Jin Ying standing in front of him, and said to Jin Ying: "Why are you still here at this hour, and you can't go down to rest." ”

Jin Ying said: "The emperor is not asleep, how dare the slave and maid go to rest by themselves." ”

Xuanzong said: "You can go and rest, there are no servants waiting outside. ”

Jin Ying shook her head: "Those slaves are clumsy and clumsy, and the slaves and maids are afraid that they will not be able to serve the emperor, and the slaves and maids have followed the emperor for decades and know what the emperor needs." Xuanzong nodded and said: "This is the truth, I still like you old people to use peace of mind, rest assured, and the most considerate." ”

Jin Ying said: "Thank you for the emperor's trust, why haven't you fallen asleep, your majesty?" Jin Ying asked Xuanzong, who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Xuanzong said: "I don't know why I don't feel sleepy, and now I am still energetic and have endless energy. Jin Ying said: "Your Majesty, why don't we go to Sun Guifei's place?" I walked to Sun Guifei's and wanted to sleep when she was tired. Xuanzong shook his head and said, "No, it's already late at night, and the concubine must have fallen asleep again, and I can't bear to wake her up." Seeing that Xuanzong didn't go, Jin Ying had to give up.

Jin Ying thought for a while and said, "In this case, the slave and maid will accompany the emperor to talk." Xuanzong nodded in agreement, and Jin Ying said: "I heard that the emperor recently likes a dish of 'steamed lobster with garlic and open back'?" Xuanzong said: "Yes, I have liked this dish recently, not only I like to eat it, but the queen mother and the concubine also like to eat it." ”

Jin Ying said: "This is indeed a good dish, the lobster is big, and the meat is beautiful and the maid also wants to try it." Xuanzong said: "What's so difficult about this, since you want to eat and reward you with a plate." Jin Ying hurriedly kowtowed and knelt down to thank him, and Xuanzong continued: "Use chopsticks to pick open the thick shell, and then use a spoon to scoop the tender meat in the spoon." When you put it in your mouth, it is tender and moist, and your mouth is full of fragrance. ”

Jin Ying saw that Xuanzong said that the lobster was so delicious and hesitated whether to admonish it, but he hesitated for a moment before saying to Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, there are some things that slaves and maids don't know whether to say or not. ”

Xuanzong said: "If there is anything that cannot be said between me and your master and servant, even if you say that I will forgive you without sin, you can say that it is." Jin Ying said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid feels that you have been unable to sleep at night lately and has something to do with this dish of 'steamed lobster with garlic open back'." Xuanzong asked puzzledly, "What does it matter?" Tell me what to say. Xuanzong returned to the dragon chair and sat down.

Jin Ying said slowly: "The slave maid will talk about this lobster first, lobster is cold and often eats, which is not good for the emperor's dragon body." Let's talk about the ingredient ginger in it, as the saying goes, 'Eating ginger in the morning is better than drinking ginseng soup, and eating ginger poison in the evening.' 'Ginger fever will make people angry, excited, abnormal labor and injury, lobster cold, ginger hot, a cold and a hot, a drink and a peck are harmful to the emperor's dragon body, it is not advisable to eat more, the emperor's insomnia is also related to it. "Nonsense, don't all the dishes I used to eat have these in them, why don't I see this symptom, but this dish makes me unable to sleep and sleep." Xuanzong said excitedly to Jin Ying.

Relying on Xuanzong's trust in him, Jin Ying said fearlessly: "What the emperor said is true, but the amount of those dishes is very small, and this kind of dish is not only lobster, but these three flavor ingredients, and the emperor also eats every day and night, and the natural dragon body is affected." ”

Xuanzong retorted: "Joke, I've only heard that some people can't sleep because of something in their hearts, and people who are traitors can't sleep, and I have never said that this dish can make people unable to sleep. Xuanzong was a little thirsty, took a sip of tea, and then said to Jin Ying: "Where did you know that you were deceived? ”

"No one dares to deceive the slave maid, the slave maid saw that the emperor couldn't sleep at night, so he went to check the palace's "Ouchi Living Note", and learned that the emperor had eaten this dish recently, so the slave maid took these dishes separately and asked the imperial doctor, who said it to the slave and maid." Jin Ying said to Xuanzong in 1510, and Xuanzong said as if he suddenly realized: "It turned out that the Tai Doctor was causing trouble, you quickly ordered someone to arrest and interrogate the people from the Tai Hospital, to see what their intentions were." ”

Jin Ying hurriedly explained: "The emperor must not, it has nothing to do with the imperial doctor, it was the slave maid who asked them to say it, and they didn't know it." If you want to be cured, you will be cured of the sins of your slave and maid. Kim Young threw herself on her knees.

Hearing Jin Ying say this, Xuanzong said in a soothing tone: "You get up, I said that no matter what you say, I don't blame you, okay, I don't have any hobbies at my age, just eat a lobster, you don't have to make a fuss." Jin Ying didn't want to stop and said again: "Your Majesty, you have to think about three things, and things will be reversed." Xuanzong yawned and stretched his waist and said, "Okay, I'm tired and have to rest, you can retreat." Now, Jin Ying had no choice but to shake her head and sigh and retreat.

After sighing, Jin Ying seemed to remember something and became active again, and walked briskly back to the celebrant supervisor. Presumably it is a solvable solution.
