Chapter Eighty-Three: The Poor Princess
In the morning, warm sunlight shines through the glass windows, adding a little warmth to the bedroom. Zhu Cheng is still lying on the east bed, yesterday he was tired and overused his brain, and he had to make up for his sleep today.
He was not worried at all that there would be bloodshed when Jinyiwei cleared the field, he had already come up with an idea and sent elite soldiers, if it was not done well, Xu Xianchun could go home and eat old rice. Besides, even if there is bloodshed, he is not afraid. There is no revolution in any country that is bloodless, and if it cannot be avoided, then let the blood of the Donglin Party make the Ming Dynasty stronger. The experience of being a human being in two lives made his heart like a stone, and he no longer had the kindness of a woman.
Suddenly, he felt an unbearable itch in his nose and sneezed.
He didn't open his eyes and said, "Ah Jian, don't make trouble." ”
"Hehe, Brother Cheng, how do you know it's me?"
"Who would be so idle so early to provoke me?"
"Isn't the emperor's brother coming to look for you?"
"He's so busy looking for trouble with the Donglin Party that he doesn't have the time to pay attention to a little kid like me."
"Okay, you're smart. However, it's not early, and the sun is drying your ass. ”
Zhu Cheng opened his eyes and saw Zhu Youzhen sitting on the edge of the bed chatting with him. He played with his heart and put the quilt on Zhu Youzhen's head: "It's dark again......"
Zhu Youzhen didn't tear off the quilt, pounced on Zhu Cheng, and said vaguely: "Oh, the mountains are coming, ......."
The two laughed for a while, Zhu Cheng dressed neatly, rinsed his mouth with green salt, washed his face with cold water, and walked out of the dormitory refreshed.
Zhu Youzhen touched his stomach and asked, "Brother Cheng, what is there to eat, I'm hungry, I really want to eat the hot powder in the children's paradise." ”
"Yesterday, I used hot powder as bait to fascinate the Donglin Party. I don't know if Chen Guoqi has used up all the inventory in the park, otherwise he will have to ask someone to go to Linchuan Mansion to buy rice noodles. ”
"Ah, I don't have to eat the hot powder, it's a pity. However, although there are very few shops selling rice noodles in Beijing, if you look carefully, you may be able to find one or two that sell rice noodles, so why go to Linchuan Mansion to buy them. ”
"Rice noodles from other places aren't suitable. The rice noodles in Linchuan Mansion are long and thin, which is most suitable for hot powder. ”
The two were talking, and Wu Huping stepped forward to report: "Lord Zhu, Chen Guoqi sent in a bucket of soup and a basket of rice noodles, the emperor, the queen, and Gonggong Wei and others have already eaten it, I don't know if Lord Zhu and Lord Xin want to eat it?" ”
"When was it delivered? Is the dashi cold? ”
"On the fifth watch this morning, the broth has been stewed on the coal stove, and it is still hot."
"Okay, okay," Zhu Youzhen said happily, "I want to eat." Brother Cheng, you can make it for me to eat. ”
Zhu Cheng was itchy for a while, and said, "Okay, watch me make an authentic Linchuan hot powder today." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse knew that the two of them would definitely eat hot powder, so he put all the pots and other materials in the courtyard.
Zhu Cheng picked up a colander, put the rice noodles in it, blanched the water, washed off all the strange smells on the rice noodles, and then set them aside for later use. He picked up the bowl again, scooped a spoonful of broth into it, added some boiling water and salt, then put the rice noodles in it and sprinkled a little chopped green onion on top. This bowl of noodles has several more links than the hot noodles made by Chen Guoqi for the Donglin Party, and it also has one less important seasoning - sweat medicine.
He brought the powder to Zhu Youzhen and said, "Ah Jian, the authentic Linchuan hot powder is here." ”
Zhu Youzhen took the bowl and said, "Brother Cheng, you are so powerful, you can do anything." ”
Zhu Cheng asked, "Wu Huping, have you eaten it?" If you don't eat it, I'll make you a bowl. ”
Wu Huping touched his head and said embarrassedly: "The emperor, the queen, and the Wei Gonggong's noodles are all made by me, but I didn't eat it myself, because I always felt that the powder I made was a little worse than that made by Lord Zhu, so I kept my stomach and waited for adults." ”
He is Zhu Cheng's confidant, and he often goes to Zhu Cheng's place to eat in the children's paradise. He knew that Zhu Cheng would definitely show his cooking skills for Zhu Youzhen today, so he was cheeky and waited for another rub.
Zhu Cheng looked at his red eyes and asked with concern, "You are on a night shift?" When you get back to the children's paradise, I'll give you a day off. ”
Zhu Cheng made two more bowls, one bowl for Wu Huping and the other bowl for himself.
After eating the hot powder, Zhu Youzhen looked at the extra powder, which was a pity. The powder has already been cooked, so don't leave it for long.
Zhu Cheng said: "Give it to the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Zheng must not have eaten Linchuan hot powder, how can this delicacy not be sent to her?" ”
So Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youzhen led a large group of people with various utensils and raw materials, and walked towards Cining Palace.
Empress Dowager Zheng is very happy today because her daughter, Princess Shouning, has come to see her.
Zhu Cheng happened to meet the imperial dining room to send breakfast, and knew that the queen mother hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and there happened to be hot powder here, so he asked the eunuch in the imperial dining room to return the same way.
Hearing the visit of Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youzhen, Empress Dowager Zheng was very happy, and hurriedly said to the palace maid beside her: "Quick, go and talk to the imperial dining room, and add breakfast for two." ”
Zhu Cheng hurriedly said: "No need, just now I met someone from the imperial dining room who sent breakfast on the way, and asked them to go back first." ”
Empress Dowager Zheng said curiously: "Brother Cheng, what does this mean?" ”
Zhu Cheng said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager, Weichen brought a delicacy - Linchuan hot powder. ”
"Yes, Brother Cheng'er's noodles are delicious." Zhu Youzhen echoed on the side.
Empress Dowager Zheng said with a smile: "The food in the children's paradise is famous all over the world, and the mourning family should try it today." ”
Zhu Cheng asked the eunuch to set up a pot in the courtyard and got busy.
After a while, a bowl of steaming hot powder was brought to Concubine Zheng.
When Concubine Zheng Guifei smelled the fragrance of hot powder, she was overjoyed, and raised two fingers and said, "Two bowls, Princess Shouning is here." ”
Zhu Youzhen said happily: "My aunt is here, then I'll go and chat with my aunt first." ”
With that, he rushed into the main hall.
Zhu Cheng made another bowl, and then said to Wu Huping: "Don't watch the show, according to this method, make a bowl for all the female officials of Cining Palace, they will help me take care of the Empress Dowager, it's hard." ”
The female officials of Cining Palace couldn't help but feel warm in their hearts, it was their duty to serve the Empress Dowager, and He had received half a word of thanks. Some are full of feelings, and there are tears flashing in the corners of their eyes.
Empress Dowager Zheng said: "If you come once, you will buy people's hearts once, and after a long time, the palace maids of Cining Palace have been abducted by you." ”
Zhu Cheng smiled embarrassedly, and Empress Dowager Zheng took his hand affectionately and walked into the hall together.
Zhu Youzhen was chatting with Princess Shouning, but it was Zhu Youzhen who was talking, and Princess Shouning just listened demurely, reaching out and touching his head from time to time.
Princess Shouning is about thirty years old, graceful, and a beautiful classical woman.
Zhu Cheng noticed that although Princess Shouning had a smile on her face, there was always a sorrow that could not be concealed.
"The princess has no worries about food and clothing, how can she still have troubles, she really has her own worries, each has her own worries." Zhu Cheng also thought about it for a while, and then put this matter aside. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and if you interfere indiscriminately, the unlucky one must be the nosy person.
At this time, a middle-aged woman in palace clothes who was as thin as a bamboo pole walked in, she looked spicy, and she was not easy to mess with at first glance.
She walked up to the princess, saw the steaming rice noodles in the princess's hand, and ate them without asking.
After eating the powder, she screamed, it turned out that she was very intimate with Princess Zhu Youzhen and Princess Shouning.
I saw that the mother-in-law frowned, and shouted loudly: "Yo, yo, yo, princess, you have received so many years of royal education, why are you still so ignorant of inspection?" Men and women are seven years old, and you are holding a twelve-year-old boy, who taught it, it's really embarrassing. ”
Princess Shouning stammered and explained, "Mama Liang, he ...... He is my brother's son, and we are aunt and nephew. ”
"Can aunts and nephews hug each other? Are there fewer ugly things that my aunt and nephew have done in recent years, and you have less shame on the royal family. Little ghost, get out. ”
Saying that, Mama Liang pulled Zhu Youzhen away from Princess Shouning's side. Don't look at Mama Liang's thinness, her strength is really not small, Zhu Youzhen has been exercising with Zhu Cheng since she was a child, and her strength is not small, but she was actually torn apart.
Zhu Cheng suddenly remembered that she was the Princess Shouning recorded in history.
Princess Shouning is the beloved daughter of Emperor Wanli, married to Ran Xingrang, a young man from Anhui, and the couple are very affectionate after marriage. But there is still a lock between Princess Shouning and Ran Xingrang, that is, the princess's housekeeper Mama Liang. Mama Liang is a very greedy woman, she did not receive the benefit fee from Ran Xingrang, and resolutely did not let the princess meet him. Although Ran Xingrang was named the captain of the horse, he had a national salary, and the princess also had a national salary, but the sum of the two people's income could not fill the desire of Mama Liang. Soon, the family's savings bottomed out. Seeing that Ran Xingrang could no longer squeeze oil and water, Mama Liang's face was gloomy and she never let him meet the princess again.
One day, Ran Xingrang caught a glimpse of Mama Liang drinking and gambling outside, and sneaked into the princess's room. Just when the two were happy, Mama Liang broke in, lifted Ran Xing up lightly, threw it out of the room, and then reprimanded the princess. The princess wanted to complain to Concubine Zheng, but Mama Liang was prepared, and went to Concubine Zheng in advance to reverse black and white and sue her, but Concubine Zheng did not want to see the princess again. And Ran Xingrang, the captain of the horses, wanted to go to the emperor to sue the emperor, but was beaten violently by Mama Liang's good eunuch with a few people. Ran Xingrang sued many times, but as a result, he was stripped of his official position and ordered to reflect at home. I heard that a few years later, Mama Liang was transferred away from the princess, and the two went through twists and turns, and finally lived a happy life. Unexpectedly, Mama Liang was transferred back again, this princess is so pitiful.
Zhu Youzhen was thrown aside by Mama Liang, and tears swirled in her eyes a few times, and finally couldn't stop flowing out.
Legend has it that there is a scale on the dragon's neck, no one can touch it, and when it touches the dragon, it will go crazy, and this scale is called reverse scale. Zhu Cheng also has a reverse scale, that is Zhu Youzhen.
As soon as he saw Zhu Youzhen crying, Zhu Cheng couldn't hold back it, and slapped Mama Liang in the face.
