214 Small headroom to fight fakes
Qin Chuyu brought his little friend into the palace this time with the consent of the princess and sister-in-law, and the princess and sister-in-law had already helped him take care of everything and would not reveal his identity.
There are three main doors at the main gate of the palace, the largest and highest middle gate in the middle, generally only the queen mother, the emperor and the prince are qualified to enter and exit from the middle door, and the ministers are on both sides of the side door.
Qin Chuyu is the prince and the younger brother of the prince, and he can also go through the middle gate.
Xu Congee Congee is one year younger than Qin Chuyu, seven years old this year, he has never been to the palace, but he knows that his father goes to court every day and walks through the side door.
When he entered through the middle door, he instantly felt that he could blow a wave with his father when he went back.
Xiao Jingkong didn't understand this, he only felt that the palace was so big, even the door was so big, like a huge monster, opening its bloody mouth, and they just walked into the belly of this monster.
Blame freshness.
The carriage drove all the way in and stopped outside the East Palace.
The East Palace is the prince's bedroom, and ordinary princes are not qualified to live in the East Palace, but who made Qin Chuyu small? He lives wherever he likes, and the emperor doesn't detain him too much.
Qin Chuyu jumped out of the carriage first, and then the two friends also jumped out of the carriage.
Long before picking up his friends, Qin Chuyu had already planned this trip with the assistance of the princess's sister-in-law - the emperor's bedroom could not be visited, but the prince's brother's east palace could be played casually, and then they could go to the imperial garden to hide and seek, and go to the Taiye Pool to row a boat.
The subordinates have also been instructed early, and if they can not come out to obstruct the eyes, they will not come out to obstruct the eyes.
Qin Chuyu took the lead in walking on the path of the East Palace and said proudly, "How is it?" My home...... Ahem! The palace is huge, right? This is the East Palace, where the crown prince lives, but the smartest, loveliest, and most clever prince of Zhao also lives here. ”
It's me, Qin Chuyu!
The corners of the mouth of the palace man who was doing the sprinkling sweep not far away twitched, Your Highness the Seventh, you didn't have such a stinky fart before, who did you let you take crookedly?
"Ahh Little Headroom sneezed.
The East Palace is very large, with a main hall, two side halls, and several small courtyards, one of which is Qin Chuyu's exclusive small world, and the crown princess asked him to make a swing frame, a rockery and a wooden horse.
Qin Chuyu himself is tired of playing, Xu Congee Congee also has these at home, and even has more tricks than Qin Chuyu's, the truth is that in order not to let the prince's playthings lose his mind, the toys in the palace are actually less than those of the people.
Xu Congee Congee is not too greedy.
The little clear space is even less greedy, and the swings that the master made for him in the temple are all swinging from one end of the mountain to the other end of the mountain! There is also mountain climbing, he and Jiaojiao climb real mountains, a small rockery is hairy and easy to climb?
"Let's go make the house!" Small clearance lane.
Recently, the small headroom has been very obsessed with architecture.
Xu Congee nodded and nodded, although he was seven years old, he really wanted to play with mud.
In fact, Qin Chuyu, who wanted to take his friends to drill a rockery: "...... All right! ”
Qin Chuyu went to the small firewood room to get three buckets and three small shovels, and happily went to dig the mud!
The corners of the palace people's mouths twitched, is it really good for the prince of a dignified country to dig mud with people?
"Why don't you go and report to the queen? That's too nonsense. A little palace maid said.
The little eunuch thought about it, the crown princess asked them not to interfere with the Seventh Highness, but to dig the mud...... It's really a bit of nonsense, and the queen blames her, the princess is fine, but their group of subordinates are going to suffer.
As soon as he thought of this, the little eunuch still decided to go to Kunning Palace.
However, it was said that after Concubine Shu returned to the palace from the prison of the Criminal Department, she immediately called a few eunuchs and asked them to boil a pot of glutinous rice soup according to the method Gu Jinyu said, and brought a bag of mortar used to repair the wall on weekdays.
After mixing the two evenly, Concubine Shu ordered someone to bring a few green bricks and paste the green bricks with glutinous rice mortar.
For the contrast effect, Concubine Shu also asked people to paste a few green bricks with ordinary mortar.
"It's done in a while, you can try it with a hammer." Concubine Shu said to the palace people.
"Yes!" The two little eunuchs responded, and each of them hurriedly brought a hammer over, and when the mortar in the green bricks was dry, they picked up the hammer and smashed it.
The result is that glutinous rice mortar is indeed more resistant to smashing than ordinary mortar.
Whether there are more and more long-term effects is not known for the time being, but in terms of firmness, glutinous rice mortar is far superior to ordinary mortar.
Concubine Shu is not a deep lady after all, she has been up and down in the deep palace for so many years, how can she not understand how much happiness this mortar will bring to Zhaoguo once it comes out?
Not to mention it from afar, it is said that the border pass has been restless recently, and the cause is that the city wall of the border pass has suffered heavy rain, and the city wall built has collapsed in several places.
The walls of Zhao are so fragile that they have to be rebuilt every few years, and even if they do, they are still prone to collapse.
The Turks were eyeing the enemy and pretending to be horse thieves several times, and in the long run, the border passes were bound to fall into an even greater crisis.
Zhao Guo is not a military power, as early as a few years ago, the battle with Chen Guo has already caused Zhao Guo's vitality to be greatly damaged, and if he fights again at this time, it will definitely be costly.
The imperial court is discussing how to repair the city wall as soon as possible, if there is this special mortar, then there will be no more worries about the city wall collapsing?
This is no less credit than the bellows!
A trace of excitement rose faintly from the bottom of Concubine Shu's heart, and she couldn't wait: "What about the Fifth Highness?" Haven't found it yet? What did he do? ”
A eunuch said: "The Fifth Highness has left the palace, saying that he made an appointment with a friend to chant poetry, and it is estimated that he will return in the evening, and at this time Gonggong Li has already gone out to find the Fifth Highness." I just don't know—"
I don't know if I can find it.
The Fifth Highness is the master, and it is impossible for him to explain his whereabouts to the next person, so Gonggong Li can only try his luck according to the route that the Fifth Highness used to go to.
Concubine Shu thought about it, it was the same if he was not there, after all, he just did it.
"Where is Your Majesty?" Concubine Shu asked.
The eunuch said, "In the Tai Liquid Pool." ”
Concubine Shu helped the tassel on her bun: "Yo, why didn't Your Majesty go to the queen today?" ”
The eunuch smiled: "Xu is tired of staying in the queen's palace, come out to breathe, and Your Majesty can stay here with the mother." ”
To say that the most favored concubine in the harem is none other than Concubine Shu, she has not fallen out of favor since she entered the palace, that is, His Majesty has been hooked on alchemy since returning from Jiangnan, and she is not close to women in the short term.
Concubine Shu smiled faintly when she heard this: "Okay, let's go." ”
"Yes!" The eunuch gave his subordinates a look, and took a bucket of glutinous rice mortar to the Taiye Pool.
The weather was fine.
When Concubine Shu arrived at the pavilion of the Taiye Pool, the other concubines also came.
There is nothing surprising, Your Majesty has not come to the harem for so long, and who suddenly appears like a fly staring at the crack of the egg?
It's just that to Concubine Shu's surprise, the queen and Concubine Zhuang are actually there.
These two people don't need to compete for favor in the harem, not to mention that His Majesty has gone to the queen's Kunning Palace in the past few days, why does she have to come out at this time to share the emperor with the concubines?
Concubine Shu is not here to compete for favor today, but she doesn't mind that there are many people.
She stepped forward and saluted the emperor and Empress Xiao: "Your Majesty, Empress." ”
Empress Xiao seemed to be in a good mood and glanced at her with a smile.
The emperor raised his hand: "Flat." ”
Concubine Shu met with Concubine Zhuang again.
Concubine Zhuang got up and returned the salute slightly.
After that, Concubine Yu and other concubines all saluted Concubine Shu.
Concubine Yu automatically gave up her place, and Gonggong Wei went to bring another chair for Concubine Yu.
Concubine Shu did not sit down in a hurry, but stood in front of the emperor and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to offer to Your Majesty." ”
"Oh?" The emperor drank tea for a meal.
Concubine Shu asked the eunuch to bring up a few pieces of green bricks that were glued separately.
Everyone looked at these green bricks and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
The emperor's face was inexplicable: "Lady concubine...... Do you want to give me bricks? ”
Concubine Shu covered her face with a handkerchief and smiled: "It's not a brick, it's the mortar in the brick." ”
She told the story of how the five princes invented glutinous rice mortar.
After speaking, she couldn't hide her smile and stood in place, waiting for the emperor's praise.
However, the emperor did not.
There was an eerie silence in the pavilion.
Everyone, including Empress Xiao and the concubines, looked at her with a change in their eyes.
Concubine Shu didn't understand what was going on, she looked at Empress Xiao, Concubine Zhuang and the others: "You guys...... What's going on? ”
Empress Xiao's eyebrows frowned slightly.
Concubine Zhuang covered her face with a handkerchief and laughed.
Concubine Shu looked at Concubine Zhuang with a serious expression: "What is the concubine laughing at?" ”
Concubine Zhuang couldn't help laughing, pointed to a bucket at Concubine Yu's feet, and said, "Are you talking about this kind of mortar?" ”
Concubine Shu looked stunned.
That color looks like glutinous rice mortar!
How so?
She looked back at the eunuch she had brought, yes, the bucket of mortar was in his hand, so where did this bucket of mortar come from?
As soon as my thoughts flashed, I heard a small voice.
She turned around, only to find that on the bridge deck of the Taiye Pool, three small beans were squatting on the wooden bridge and (huò) mortar!
The three of them had a good time, and they didn't know that they were being watched by the emperor and the concubines.
The cause of the incident has to start from the eunuch in the East Palace secretly reporting to Empress Xiao that Qin Chuyu was playing with mud.
As soon as she heard that her precious son was actually squatting on the ground and rubbing mud like a wild child in the countryside, Queen Xiao almost didn't get angry.
She was angry and went to find her son, but the three of them were no longer in the East Palace, and they searched for a long time before they found him near the Qinzheng Palace.
At that time, Qin Chuyu and his friends were carrying small buckets and buckets to paste the wall for the emperor.
Empress Xiao looked at the Panlong Stone Wall of the Qinzheng Hall being messed up, and almost collapsed on the spot: "You, what are you doing?" ”
Xiao Jingkong was holding a small brush to paste the wall, and turned back to her and said, "The wall is cracked, paste it." ”
Gu Jiao always repaired the roof and pasted the wall for the neighbors, and the small clearance was itchy early.
But there are no walls to glue at home.
There are a lot of broken walls here, and he wants to paste.
Empress Xiao: That's not cracked! It's a pattern! It is a relic of history! It was a rock handed down by Emperor Taizu and said to have prevented a landslide for him!
So it's also known as Panlong Stone!
What's even more tragic is that they not only pasted the Panlong stone wall, but also pasted the emperor's lookout wall.
It was all supported by Xiao Qingkong's appearance, so that Queen Xiao did not faint on the spot.
Empress Xiao didn't care about teaching her son and his little playmates anymore, so she hurriedly asked people to pick off the mortar on the Panlong Stone.
To say that the mortar is actually quite easy to pick, you can pry it off with a dagger or shovel, but this time the mortar is somehow going on, unless it has not dried up, it can't be pried off.
Empress Xiao realized that her son had caused a catastrophe, and thought for a while that she really couldn't find someone to blame, but the emperor came.
Empress Xiao was scared to death!
Who knew that the emperor did not punish the three children.
The younger brother of the little divine doctor, of course, the emperor was reluctant to punish him, although he looked at the pasted dragon stone, and the dragon egg hurt to death.
But soon he realized that something was wrong with the mortar, and it was not strictly simple.
How could there be such a strong mortar?
Xiao Qi didn't have this brain, the emperor directly skipped Qin Chuyu, and asked Xiao Jingkong and Xu Congee, the youngest son of the military department: "Where did your mortar come from?" ”
Xiao Jingkong tilted his little head and said, "We did it ourselves!" ”
The emperor was surprised: "Will you still do this?" ”
Xiao Jingkong said seriously: "Jiaojiao often does it!" I've learned it all! ”
The emperor looked at the small clear space, and then looked at the pasted Panlong Stone, and suddenly smiled like a fool.
Empress Xiao seriously suspected that he had been stimulated and went crazy.
And then there's now.
The mortar for the three little beans ran out, and they came here to make new ones.
The glutinous rice soup was asked for by Qin Chuyu in the imperial dining room, and they mixed this thing into the mortar, which was roughly the same as what Concubine Shu said.
