Chapter 132: Ice Sacrifice
When I went to Yumo's house with pastries in the afternoon, I was told that I was not at home, which made Xu Chen very depressed, I finally came to see you, you still avoided me, but if you think about it carefully, it may be that Yumo really has something.
Things are still left, Yumo's house is indeed very difficult, when Xu Chen went, it happened that her neighbor Aunt Xue was taking care of Yumo's mother, Xu Chen didn't enter the house, just handed over the things to Aunt Xue and left.
Yumo obviously didn't take a leave of absence when she was unwell, and since she didn't want to explain the reason, Xu Chen didn't need to ask.
When I went back to the princess's mansion, it happened to be a meal, Li Shuang'er said that she had something to explain to him, so she went over to have a meal together, which was nothing more than going to the palace to offer ice and a banquet in the eldest princess's mansion.
The two of them really don't have much to say when they get along, and dinner is not a matter of drinking tea, which can be done in minutes, so after the two of them ate for a while, Li Shuang'er broke the silence and said: "Father's birthday banquet is also coming soon, what do you think the princess's mansion will give a birthday gift?" ”
In Li Shuang'er's casual words alone, Xu Chen's status in the princess's mansion has obviously been greatly improved, at least in Li Shuang'er's heart, subtly, he recognized the important surname of the concubine, that is, subconsciously before making a decision, he still has to ask the concubine's opinion.
Xu Chen didn't pay much attention to it, the entrant was confused, the relationship between the two was going to ease up according to the current situation, and it was difficult to say what would happen in the future, and all this happened gradually, it felt just right, and he wouldn't think too much.
"What are you going to give?" Xu Chen took a bite of the dish, put it in his mouth and chewed.
To Li Shuang'er's surprise, the concubine was not as indifferent to the affairs of the princess's mansion as usual, and since the topic was opened, Li Shuang'er continued: "Most of the birthday gifts I used to send to my father were novelties that I made myself, but now that I am married, of course, I want to be more formal, I just want to ask you if you have any good ideas, can they be less vulgar, and they can also make my father's eyes shine." ”
"If you believe me, you can leave it to me."
Li Shuang'er frowned, she just said casually, this colt should be accepted, obviously felt incredible, but looking at the appearance of the colt, it is not like a joke, if he prepares a birthday gift, it is nothing more than some jewels, too cheesy, and really sad, this colt has a lot of skills, maybe it can really be done.
I wanted to ask the horse what gift he was going to give, but he never spoke, since he was going to let the horse do it, he shouldn't ask more, Li Shuang'er still understands the truth of employing people.
"Hmm."
Li Shuang'er just replied lightly, Xu Chen glanced up at her, then lowered his head and took a few mouthfuls of food, and said, I'm full, and left.
Xu Chen went back to his room to rest after eating, he was really tired these days, and he fell asleep......
As soon as the morning dawned, Xu Chen had already gotten up, and today was at the strong invitation of Li San, he went to the palace to make ice cubes, so he got up early for breakfast, packed a box of saltpeter and took a simple distillation bottle and went straight to the palace in the carriage of the princess's mansion.
The road was bored, so he talked to the groom without a match, because in the past, the East Palace specially sent a carriage to pick him up, and he became a good friend for more than a month, mainly because the road was too far away, and he was really bored.
However, his own groom is obviously not very open-minded, and the admiration for Xu Juma between the words is like a surging river, and Xu Chen, who can be praised with beautiful words, Xu Chen really can't stand it, so he lifted the curtain and criticized the groom: low-key! Don't engage in blind worship, especially not in front of me!
scared the groom so much, in fact, what Xu Chen wanted to say was that he had never seen you slap the ass like this, and it was too direct, so he couldn't be tactful?
After entering the imperial city from Chengtianmen, it was also close to noon, after all, it was the first time to enter the palace, even if the emperor gave the command to enter and leave the palace freely, but the guards did not recognize this famous horse, but as soon as the name was reported, all the guards were shocked, and reported to the high-level in time.
So after entering the imperial city, the eunuch who came to greet him was actually Na Gaolishi, this old guy walked with old steps, and after seeing Xu Chen, he directly met the car in the palace and walked to the Hanxuan Palace.
I didn't expect this Colliers to come to greet him in person, and the etiquette specifications were too high-end. Receiving and sending is not a concept at all, and general occasions also pay attention to preconceived ideas, so greeting is also a science, but the emperor Lao'er asked the old man who bought the year to greet him personally, which made Xu Chen a little weak-hearted, even if he touted his worth, he didn't have to do it like this.
The car in the palace is big and comfortable, which is equivalent to the concept of a bus, but the grade is obviously 108,000 miles behind, and the horse is definitely not qualified to do it, but the high father-in-law has it, and it can be regarded as stained with the light of this old man.
"I am tired of Gao Daren personally greeting him, and Xiaosheng is very ashamed."
Sitting in the same carriage as the thousand-year-old eunuch Gao Lishi, he was definitely not very comfortable, Xu Chen just got into the car and began to greet him.
"Xu Ju Ma Ke Mo wants to torment the old man, by the way, but the raw materials are ready, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, so he ordered me to come to greet him."
"Bring it all."
The two chatted a little, naturally it was some nonsense, Gao Lishi also asked about the situation of the bank, but Xu Chen was shocked, this old Gao said that he lived in the courtyard of the deep palace, but he was quite concerned about the bank, which was really incomprehensible.
Got out of the car, took the box into the hall, is to see a magnificent building, from the main entrance to look in, in the distance is a row of tall buildings, the yellow glazed tiles in the sun are particularly dazzling, such a building can simply be described as majestic, Xu Chen just this glance to understand what is called splendid.
Xu Chen stopped for a moment, sighed in his heart for a while, and Gao Lishi also stopped and waited, after all, he was a child from a poor mountainous area, and it was already very powerful to be able to faint for the first time when he entered the palace.
In front of the palace is all kinds of gardens, walk in and hear the chatter on the pavilion in the distance, walk in and see, you see that the old emperor Li Sanlao is being surrounded by the palace at the moment and beaten wildly.
Some grabbed the emperor's collar, grabbed his arm, and yelled at him, and what surprised Xu Chen even more was that the old man was still laughing heartlessly.
"I have been wronged, I have been wronged, how dare I deceive!!"
Li San was holding backgammon in his hand, and sitting on the pavilion were Yang Yuhuan and Mrs. Qin Guo.
It turns out that these three people are gambling money!
"I'm stupid" is already difficult to describe Xu Chen's mood at the moment, and today he can really see the demeanor of this Li San'er.
Gao Lishi looked at Xu Chen's stunned expression, obviously a little embarrassed, so he asked Xu Chen to wait and go to the pavilion to report.
Gao Lishi took small steps, and ran into the pavilion a little panting, and those palace ladies saw Gao Gonggong come in, so they restrained their play and quieted down. Gao Lishi first said hello to Mrs. Qin Guo and Yang Yuhuan, and then informed Li San that the horse was coming.
Li San turned his head to look at Xu Chen, who was waiting in the shade of the trees outside the court, and then he collected his mind, regained the seriousness of the emperor, and just collapsed his face and was about to get up, but he was dragged by Yang Yuhuan and pressed on the stool.
"Do you still want to run away from cheating!"
This ass is a little painful to sit down, and the old arms and legs can't withstand the toss, but the serious face just now instantly returned to its original appearance, and he grinned and said: "Ah Huan don't be angry, I have something good for you!" ”
Ah Huan is Li Longji's nirvana in order to curry favor with Yang Yuhuan when he makes a mistake, and Yang Yuhuan also has an affectionate name for him: Ah Man.
However, these are all private titles, and obviously Li San saw that Yang Yuhuan was a little anxious, so he called out.
Yang Yuhuan will get benefits every time he uses violence against Li Longji, and when he saw Li San shrugging, he also achieved his goal, thinking that there was really something good to give her, and he looked out of the court with Li San's gaze, and saw Xu Da Ma waiting in the shade of the tree.
Yang Yuhuan's face instantly smeared a trace of crimson, this upright beauty who was as old as a wolf and a tiger saw Xu Chen, who was a little handsome and talented, was actually a little shy, and at this moment, the shame that others could not perceive, was just because Li San said with his eyes just now that he wanted to give her a gift, and the moment Yang Yuhuan saw Xu Chen, he thought that Li San was going to give this man!!
I also knew for a moment that I was thinking too much, this colt came to the palace today to make ice cubes, and Li San wanted to send ice cubes naturally......
Gao Lishi trotted all the way back and summoned Xu Chen into the pavilion.
"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor......"
"No need to be polite! Get up quickly. Li San sat in the gazebo and said.
"I've seen the concubine, I've seen ......" Xu Chen got up before he met Yang Yuhuan, and there was a graceful and luxurious woman sitting in the pavilion, but she couldn't be named.
"That's Mrs. Qin." Colliers reminded.
"I've seen Mrs. Qin."
Yang Yuhuan and Mrs. Qin Guo also smiled, and then the meeting ceremony was completed.
Mrs. Qin Guo has long heard of the reputation of this horse, and now she is really extraordinary at first sight, although it is a little different from the imaginary Xu Dashuai, but with this powerful and powerful tall body, the slightly resolute handsomeness is still very charming, and she can't help but look at the horse a few more times.
I came here today, most of them are also for this purpose, Yang Yuhuan is too much to praise, and the third sister is even more than that, and she is also anxious to take a look, the first impression is okay, and she has to investigate what she has to do.
After the salute, he stood aside and waited for the order, and Li San hurriedly called the virtuous son-in-law to come and sit down in the pavilion.
"It's a little hot and dry today, can you make that ice cube?"
(ps: I didn't count much when I spoke.,I was going to make up for what I owed yesterday.,But I broke my promise.,It's better to make less promises in the future.,I really don't want to give up this book.,It's been almost four months since I wrote!!!!! )
