Chapter 9 Make a Peach and Present it to Daddy Three

Li Bao thought about it for a long time in the study, in order to ensure that he could please his father Li Yi in one fell swoop this time, he must have more bargaining chips. Therefore, Li Bao carefully analyzed Li Luo's preferences based on what he had seen and heard in the court in the past ten years: He Buddha likes to feast and drink, and loves music and dance.

Now there are 500 musicians in Daming Palace, and the most favored musician is Li Keji, Li Keji was not only named General Jin Wuwei, but also gave Li Keji a variety of rewards.

There was a rumor about Li Keji in the palace. Li Ke and his son got married, Li Luo gave Li Keji's family two silver pots of "imperial wine", opened it and looked, but there was no wine in it, and the two large pots were full of gold leaves and jade. From this rumor, it can be seen that Li Yi is very fond of Li Keji.

Every year on the birthday of the Buddha, Li Yi will rehearse the "Bodhisattva Dance of the Four Directions" choreographed by Li Keji in the palace and Anguo Temple. In addition, Li Yi also ordered the engraving and printing of the "Diamond Sutra" in the ninth year of Xiantong to spread the world.

Based on the above points, Li Bao felt that if he wanted to gain the attention and love of his father Li Yi, he must start from these aspects. One is to be related to Buddhism, and the other must be a large-scale dance, and the soundtrack is Li Bao's shortcoming. But since there are so many musicians in the palace, it must not be too difficult.

Li Bao recalled the singing and dancing of later generations and large-scale dance programs related to Buddhism. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally came up with it, and all that was left was to show the song and dance in his memory through his brush. Li Bao had an idea, so he unfolded the scroll and began to create.

In the next few days, in addition to his usual exercise, Li Bao basically hid in the study and painted. When I was tired of painting, I would go to the kitchen to see how Ling'er and Zheng Ah Li's cakes were made, and with Professor Li Bao's method, Zheng Ah Li and Ling Er became more and more proficient.

As for the cream, because the amount of milk sent by the Pastoral Department was too small, Li Bao ordered them to save up to make cream once every two days. The spray gun Hu Sanbao has been made, and the test spraying has been sprayed once, and the effect is okay. Li Bao instructed them to practice more, strive to make the cake as soon as possible, and reminded them to pay attention to secrecy.

When Li Fei tried his best to prepare the gift for Yizong's birthday, the Xuanhui Courtyard in the southwest of Daming Palace near the right Yintai Gate was also full of people, and many yellow doors were in a hurry, carrying tables, chairs, benches and other things, Yizong Li Luo's birthday was approaching, and Xuanhui Yuan must make preparations as soon as possible.

Xuanhui Yuan is the Daming Palace, which is responsible for the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the royal family, and is very similar to the "Central General Office" of later generations. Now Xuanhui Yuan's "big inner chief" Yang Gongqing, the envoy of the South Courtyard, and Wu Yipin, the envoy of the North Courtyard, are sitting in the middle hall of the Xuanhui Academy, and there are more than a dozen eunuchs standing in different colors under the hall, standing in two rows on both sides of the hall, each of them whispering, just waiting for the two envoys to speak.

Both of them were wearing purple official robes, Yang Gongqing looked very old, his eyebrows and hair were frost white, and he was sixty-seven or eighteen years old this year. In ancient times, people generally did not live long, and people like Yang Gongqing lived to such an old age and was still very healthy, which is indeed rare. Wu Yipin is only in his early fifties this year, and the years seem to have left no traces on this old eunuch, his face is white, and the wrinkles are not obvious.

Yang Gongqing said loudly to everyone in the hall: "Now that the official's birthday is approaching, you all give our family a wake-up call, in case something goes wrong there, our family will just ask." Don't blame our family for being ruthless and peeling off your official skin. Everyone in the hall was in the same place, and they all made promises.

"Is there anything else that Envoy Wu has to say?"

"What should be said, Envoy Yang has already said it, so we won't say more. As long as you work hard, our family will not treat you badly. Is there anything unusual in the palace now? ”

There is a eunuch in the hall, if Li Bao is here, he will definitely recognize this eunuch with triangular eyes, it is Yang Siqi of the Pastoral Office. Yang Siqi bowed to the two envoys in the hall: "Recently, there is a thing that I think is very strange, I don't know whether to say it or not?" ”

"It's okay, but it's okay."

"The day before yesterday, the sixth prince Li Bao came to the pastoral office, saying that he was weak and needed to drink milk every day to keep fit. I want to supply five catties of fresh milk to the Jinluan Palace every day. He felt that he wanted so much milk, and there must be something in it. ”

"Oh, in your opinion, what are the plans of these six princes?"

"This, the humble didn't know yet, and the humble sent someone to the Jinluan Palace to investigate, but found nothing. He didn't dare to agree to him, but he begged again and again, and he had no choice but to promise to supply him with a pound a day. ”

"Oh, what does Envoy Yang think about this matter?"

Yang Gongqing was looking at his palm, as if there was something strange in his hand. Hearing Wu Yipin's inquiry, he looked up at Yang Siqi, "What can he do as a half-prince plan?" What can this milk be used for besides drinking and making cheese? Focus on your errands, and watch your head if you go out of business! ”

"Yes, the words of the old ancestor, the lowly official has been taught!" Saying that, Yang Siqi retreated into the queue. With Yang Siqi's example, everyone didn't dare to talk nonsense, and the hall was silent for a while.

"In that case, let's all disperse." After Wu Yipin finished speaking, everyone saluted the two of them, and then exited the lobby.

After the eunuchs withdrew, when there were only two old eunuchs left in the hall, Wu Yipin said to Yang Gongqing: "Don't Yang Yuan envoys think that the six princes are very strange, since these six princes were born, there have been a lot of strange things happening around him, do we have to guard against him." ”

"Don't worry, Envoy Wu, he's just a prince, what other big waves can he make? Besides, in this Daming Palace, it is our masters who are really the masters. After that, Yang Gongqing trembled and walked out.

Looking at Yang Gongqing's distant back, Wu Yipin couldn't say anything, after all, this Xuanhui Academy was respected by the Southern Courtyard. And his own experience is far inferior to this old monster, he can go through three dynasties in this Daming Palace without falling, he must have something extraordinary. His foundation is still too shallow, not as good as the relationship between this old monster and the Yang family, the three brothers of the Yang family all occupy important positions in this palace. In addition, the younger Yang brothers of the Yang family, Yang Fuguang and Yang Fugong, held prominent positions both inside and outside the court, and saw that the Yang family was going to dominate the palace.

Wu Yipin thought that the only one in the palace who could compete with the Yang clan was the Ximen clan, and he had served as a lieutenant or privy envoy in the Shence Army for many generations. Recently, I must find an opportunity to have a relationship with Lieutenant Ximen Lala, otherwise my Wu family will not be able to get ahead in this palace.

On November 12, the clouds that had been gloomy for many days finally turned into snow and fell down. The Daming Palace is full of snow white, and the Jinluan Palace seems to be a palace made of ice and snow in the heavy snow. The palace people everywhere hid and were lazy.

Zheng Ah Li, Hu Sanbao and Cui Ling'er in the kitchen After many days of practice, the "Shou Peach" cake was finally completed, Li Bao praised the three of them, and then asked them to put away the materials and various tools, the important thing is that the milk should be well preserved, because the quantity is not much, so Li Bao has not drunk milk in the past few days, and all the savings are specially made for making cream. When Li Luo's birthday has passed, Li Bao can enjoy milk with confidence.

Li Bao looked at the finished cake, according to the standards of later generations, it was about the same as an eight-inch cake. The overall decoration is still quite good, he cut off a piece with his wooden knife and tasted it, in addition to the sweetness of the cream and the softness of the chicken cake, the beany smell of the bean flour affects the taste a little. However, it is not satisfactory, after all, the conditions are limited.

Li Bao said to the three of Ling'er, don't be stunned, you can destroy this cake, didn't I say it, whoever makes it will eat it all. When Ling'er Hu Sanbao heard this, his face immediately showed bitterness. Ling'er said to Li Bao: "Lang Jun spared the slave family, we have been eating this cake every day for the past few days, and we have long been tired of eating it, and now I want to vomit when I think of eating cake slaves." ”

"Haha, I said a long time ago, you're going to vomit. Remember, the truth of overdoing is applicable to everything, and eating is no exception! You all go about your own business, and there is one point that you must make a new cake before the unitary hour tomorrow evening, and the day after tomorrow is the birthday of the official family. The people promised.

Since Ling'er and the three of them didn't want to eat it, Li Bao took the cake to the study and made snacks to eat. His dance diagram is still a little short, and it can be completed, and the hard work of these few days is definitely high-intensity. Li Bao painted completely from memory, and also painted the faces of each character according to the aesthetic point of view of the Tang Dynasty. The variation of dance movements can only be through his own associations, although he is not strong in music and dance, but fortunately, the program he chooses mainly emphasizes the overall beauty and the beauty of the rhythm.

Li Baojing calmed down, just ate the cake, and devoted himself to painting. He must complete this dance choreography tomorrow, this is another reliance of his, the cake and the dance are all made by Li Luo's favor, which is related to Li Bao's status in this palace and his future plans, so he must go all out!

On November 13, yesterday's heavy snow had stopped this morning. The bright moon hangs in the air, the Daming Palace is shrouded in a faint moonlight, the ice in the liquid pool is already very thick, looking at it from a distance, the reflection of the palace can be seen on the ice, and there are two people standing by the liquid pool.

"Lang Jun's weather is so cold, let's go back, don't freeze your body." Ling'er pleaded with Li Bao, who had been standing by the lake for almost an hour.

"You're frozen, okay, go back." Li Bao walked over, took Ling'er in a thick winter coat, and walked in the direction of the Jinluan Palace. Ling'er, who was hugged by Li Bao, blushed, and although she was shy in her heart, she didn't speak, for fear that she would break this rare tranquility as soon as she opened her mouth. The master and servant walked slowly like this.

Li Bao looked up at the bright moon and the deep starry sky, looked at the place in the underworld, and shouted in his heart: The first step to change his life against the sky, Lao Tzu is going to take it!
