"What does Yin'er want to eat?" Shen Mengxi intended to ask Yin'er first.

"Yin'er is not a picky eater." Yin'er followed Jian'er and replied crisply.

"Then A-Niang will make you a sweet and sour pork rib."

"Auntie to do it?" Several children were stunned, stood still, and looked up at Shen Mengxi in place.

"Auntie, what are sweet and sour pork ribs?" Jane asked.

"You'll find out later!" Shen Mengxi said mysteriously and led them towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, the cook Liu Sanniang is fiddling with the newly built stove, hooking the stove ring back and forth with an iron hook.

At this time, the cooking methods are mostly roasting, boiling, and steaming. The powerful also have stir-fried vegetables, but they are not popular, first, the yield of vegetable oil is too low, and the method of stir-frying is not mature.

- The oil that was not enough for stir-frying was poured on the polo field!

Shen Mengxi didn't have to worry about this, she ordered someone to build a horse spoon, a pan, a barbecue grill, a pot stove, a stove ring to control the heat, and installed a set in the two mansions and Qingyun Villa.

Seeing her come in, Liu Sanniang was so frightened that she knelt down, "Why did the princess bring Xiao Langjun and the little lady to such a pickled place, where did the cheap maid not serve well?" ”

"Get up, borrow your place, and go out first."

Liu Sanniang walked out of the kitchen with palpitations, standing in the courtyard and worrying, will the princess set the kitchen on fire, thinking of this, she immediately sent the little girl who washed the dishes to carry more water for backup.

There was only one fire girl left in the kitchen, the little girl bowed her head and shrunk at the stove, the breeze also followed the vegetables, Shen Mengxi took Yin'er and Yu'er to work in the kitchen, and the four nurses took Jian'er and Lu'er to wait outside. Jane was so anxious that she jumped around like a horse monkey.

Yu'er washed the courgette by herself, Yin'er cut it into strips with her hands, and Shen Mengxi mixed a refreshing courgette.

made another dish of sweet and sour pork ribs, and the three of them came out of the kitchen.

Each eldest child was given four ribs, the deer could only smell the taste, and the rest was given to Qingfeng and a few other maidservants to eat.

Although the lunch was simple, the children were very happy, and Jane said, "Auntie! Sweet and sour pork ribs are the best meat in the world! ”

Shen Mengxi looked at him with a smile, pointed to his chin, Jian Er reached out and touched his chin, a grain of rice was on it, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and looked at his brother weakly, seeing that his brother didn't pay attention to him, he put the rice grain in his mouth again, and smiled.

Liu Sanniang also ate a piece of pork ribs in the back kitchen, and was full of praise: "God Bodhisattva! It's really ...... to be able to eat the dishes made by the princess in this life It's thundering! Such a noble person can also wash his hands and make soup, and he also makes this cheap thing so delicious! Alas, the cook and the cook can die! ”

Shen Mengxi naturally didn't know that Liu Sanni's supreme praise was from her, she was bathing.

- It took less than an hour to cook two dishes, and it took two hours for my mother to take a bath and wash her hair. Moreover, it seems that Zhuangzi is uneasy, alas, the matter of going to the kitchen seems unrealistic.

August 15, the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival was not officially designated as a festival. It's just that the folk have the custom of worshiping the moon and welcoming the cold, but it has not formed a scale.

Shen Mengxi asked the kitchen to bring out the finished moon cakes, baked and steamed, and when the moon was on the willow tops, he took the children to sit in the courtyard and eat moon cakes and fruits.

"I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles." Shen Mengxi raised his glass to the moon and took a sip of wine.

- Thousands of miles, thousands of years, with whom to Chanjuan!

Is this the only world, is there really three thousand worlds? Can time be reversed? Is there a parallel space?

Yes, otherwise how could she come to the Tang Dynasty again, how could she have a Wuling space?

This is by no means the reincarnation that Buddhism talks about, but the immortality of the soul, parasitism again and again, and the body that is sent to it is completely uncontrolled and irregular.

Shen Mengxi was cranky, drank a glass of wine, and was slightly drunk, very comfortable.

The deer had already slept, and the other three cubs were spreading joy under the moon, and laughter and laughter were all over the courtyard.

"The white rabbit pounds medicine in autumn and spring, who is Chang'e's neighbor in solitude?

Today's people don't see the ancient times and the moon, but this month once looked like the ancients.

If the ancients and the present people are flowing water, they will see the bright moon together.

I hope that when the song is against the wine, the moonlight shines on the golden bottle. ”

Shen Mengxi tasted the sentence "Today's people don't see the ancient times and moons, and this month used to be like the ancients", and smiled bitterly, is he a modern person or an ancient? This world is full of strangers, and an extreme sense of loneliness arises spontaneously.

She took another sip of wine, forget it, people, whether they have a family or children, always have to get along with themselves, and loneliness is the norm.

Over the years, Shen Mengxi has forgotten a lot of past events, hundreds of years of trivial things, who will remember them one by one, as the wheel of time passes, she has forgotten the injustices, forgotten the sorrows, and even forgotten the people she loved.

Tonight, it must be the bright moon and wine that make people feel emotional and make people feel sorry.

Yin'er heard her mother chanting poems, walked over, and said, "A-Niang's poems are really wonderful!" ”

"Little boy, you also know poetry!" Shen Mengxi pinched his face, "Smash it, you recite a poem of praise to A-Niang!" ”

Yin'er squirmed and didn't speak.

"Can't do a single one? The bright moonlight in front of the bed is also fine! ”

Yin'er still bowed her head and remained silent.

"Oh forgot, he's not born yet." The poet immortal Li Bai was not born yet, and almost all famous poets were not born.

"Princess, autumn is cool, let's drink less." Qingfeng came over, snatched Shen Mengxi's wine glass, and said angrily: "Don't be embarrassed for Ah Lang, how can Ah Lang call the princess by her name!" ”

After hearing this, Shen Mengxi suddenly realized that as a son, Yin'er couldn't call her mother's name directly, not even a single word, and when she wrote, she had to make a little less as a way to avoid it, she reached out and pinched the other side of Yin'er's face.

"There are so many rules." Shen Mengxi muttered.

******

The weather was getting colder, Shen Mengxi took the children back to Shangshanfang, and she asked people to lay a ground dragon in some rooms, which was very warm.

On this day, Shen Mengxi was summoned to Ziwei Palace, and the queen of heaven put down the review in her hand and said, "Yue'er, A-Niang will find you another colt." ”

Shen Mengxi was taken aback, "Why?" Why? ”

"Idiot, in this world, men can't be without women, women can't be without men, even King Sun Yao has a saying, don't be abstinent, you are a princess, do you want to guard your chastity for a concubine?" At the end, the tone became more and more harsh.

The Queen of Heaven talks about Sun Yaowang, referring to Sun Simiao, an old immortal who has lived for one hundred and one years, is simply the idol of the Queen of Heaven.

"Mother, Taoism also emphasizes no desire to raise the gods, and no action to guard the gods. Yue'er is not chaste for anyone, she just wants to live a pure life alone. ”

"Pure? You're still blaming A-Niang, aren't you? The queen looked directly into Shen Mengxi's eyes, which made Shen Mengxi a little overwhelmed. A woman, a woman with the highest power, the brain circuit has long been different from ordinary people, Shen Mengxi lowered his eyes, "Don't dare." ”

"Then Wu Chenghei!" The queen of heaven simply made the final decision. The daughter's estrangement for more than half a year has made the queen feel very displeased, just for a colt, she can be angry with her for so long!

The fat face of an ambitious man appeared in Shen Mengxi's mind, and a deep disgust surged in his heart, what should I do? How to refuse, in a hurry, she didn't say a word, planted her head on the gold brick, made a bang, frightened the queen screamed, threw down the fold in her hand, threw her over, took her in her arms, didn't dare to touch her bleeding forehead, just called out repeatedly: "Yue'er!" Yue'er! Don't scare Auntie! Yue'er! ”

Shen Mengxi's forehead hurt hotly, these palace maids would not deal with the wound, they just held a handkerchief to block the wound and pressed it hard. The queen of heaven instructed several palace maids to carry her daughter to the Luohan bed and lie down, and anxiously circled around the couch: "It's too slow! What is the use of the Imperial Medical Department! With a snap, a teacup fell to the ground.

The Imperial Physician Cheng of the Imperial Physician Department and the two doctors were hurrying into the door, and the Queen of Heaven exempted them from saluting, "Quickly treat the princess!" ”

The imperial physician took his pulse tremblingly, let out a "huh", looked at Shen Mengxi's forehead wound, and said: "Queen of heaven, the princess is a skull was hit, causing a slight damage to the head. ”

The queen of heaven breathed a sigh of relief, "Then why is the princess unconscious?" ”

"After the day, the princess has been depressed and unhappy these days, so wait for the old minister to open a prescription and recuperate, the knot will be untied, and the symptoms will disappear."

Shen Mengxi squinted his eyes and saw that the old lady was bowing her waist, and in front of the queen of heaven, she replied respectfully, looking at it from the side, like a dried shrimp, with a white beard, moving as she spoke.

Shen Mengxi closed his eyes and secretly thought, people are old and fine, this old lady doctor knows the times.

"Sun Yicheng, you go and write a prescription, and then go to the princess's mansion tomorrow for a follow-up, and be sure that you are fine."

After Doctor Sun bowed, he followed the palace maid to prescribe a prescription.

Shen Mengxi heard a sigh from the queen of heaven, and there was no sound.

A healer gently redressed her wounds.

Before she knew it, she was asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, I woke up and only felt a pain in my forehead, and I had wrapped the cloth, she motioned to the palace maid standing on the side of the couch to silence, got up and walked out, and saw the back of the day sitting behind the desk, writing hard, and there was nothing to check.

Shen Mengxi looked at the sixty-five-year-old diva, she had thick hair, very little white hair, when she lowered her head, her chin would squeeze out a double chin, which looked a little cute, her skin was quite firm, but there were also a lot of wrinkles, the corners of her mouth were slightly drooping, and the nasolabial folds were more obvious. At this time, her expression was serious, her eyes were shining, and she was immersed in the review of the folds, and she should enjoy the job very much.

The palace maid behind the queen of heaven curtled her knees and saluted Shen Mengxi, and the queen of heaven raised her head to look at her, and asked in a series of questions: "Yue'er is awake?" Where else is the discomfort? Headache not? Disgusting no? The queen put down the pen and got up and walked towards her.

Shen Mengxi walked over quickly and held her, etiquetteally, she couldn't stand there stunned and wait for the queen to walk towards her. The queen of heaven pressed her shoulder, "Idiot, A-Niang doesn't care, go back and lie down." ”

Shen Mengxi hurriedly said: "Ah Niang, Yue'er is fine. Yue'er should go back to the house, the children are too young and won't come back for too long, they will cry. ”

The queen of heaven whispered: "Yue'er used to listen to A-Niang for everything, and she was A-Niang's most caring child, but now, she refuses." ”

"Yue'er doesn't dare." Shen Mengxi bowed his head.

Tianhou took a step back, slowly let go of Shen Mengxi's hand, and said happily: "Go back, if you don't want to marry, don't marry." ”

Shen Mengxi saluted and withdrew, walked down the stone steps, and let out a long breath.

When he left Ziwei Palace, he was stopped by a palace maid, saying that the saint was invited. In my memory, this brother, who is three years older than Taiping, loves her very much. They grew up together and were closer than the other brothers.

When he saw the car, the emperor held her with his own hands, exempted her from saluting, held her shoulder, kept looking up and down, did not dare to touch her forehead, and only asked her worriedly how she was in health and how she was feeling?

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is fine in Taiping. It's just that I've been in a bad mood and unstable mood recently, and the queen asked about marriage, and I fainted with anxiety for a while. Shen Mengxi replied respectfully.

Li Dan looked at his sister and said angrily: "There are no outsiders here, let's call it the fourth brother." "Gaozong has many children, but the queen of heaven has a separate sequence, so Li Dan ranks eighth, but Taiping calls him the fourth brother.

The emperor thought about it and said: "Yue'er, my mother's words are still reasonable, you can't be alone for a long time in the future, and you are not the one who can't get married!" The fourth brother is also slowly looking for you, and he must find the most outstanding son in the Tang Dynasty! ”

Shen Mengxi smiled in her heart, the princess really couldn't get married.

The civil and official families all maintain their own nobility, and never refuse to have more dealings with the prince and princess, so as not to attract the name of flattering the royal family, and despise the vulgarity, powerlessness and uninhibited indulgence of the royal family from the bottom of their hearts.

Especially after the incident between Princess Gaoyang and the debate, the princess has almost become synonymous with indulgence, and it is even more difficult to marry.

Shen Mengxi looked up at Li Dan accusatory, Li Dan was amused by her expression, and actually reached out and pinched her face, "Why don't you use this trick on your mother, gently coquettish, everything will be agreed to by your mother!" ”

Shen Mengxi was also touched when he heard it.

As for how to get along with the diva, she actually has no rules in her heart.

Farewell to the emperor, all the way back, she was thinking, it turned out that the shadow of childhood was so big, from the first life, she did not know how to get along with her mother, perhaps, forever, this is a skill that she cannot light up.

Now, the death and dethronement of the three brothers in memory are related to the Queen of Heaven, and now that the four brothers are in power, they are actually the Queen of Heaven who listens to the government. For the mother who treats her son so ruthlessly, she doesn't believe that she will be soft on her daughter, plus the matter of the concubine Xue Shao, she subconsciously just wants to stay away from the diva, how can she have any intention of being coquettish and stupid.

When she returned to the mansion, the servants and maids were terrified when they saw that she was injured, as if something big had happened. Qingfeng shed tears even more, "Princess, what if this leaves a scar!" ”

"A woman is a person who pleases herself, I don't love anyone, I leave a scar if I leave a scar, a widow, and don't marry." Shen Mengxi didn't care, and took off those heavy hair ornaments by himself, alas, even if he was injured and covered his head, several golden hairpins were still reinserted into the bun. Qingfeng hurriedly came over and took over, "Slow down, slow down!" The hair is ripped off! ”

After changing into comfortable home clothes, Shen Mengxi sighed, "It's still comfortable at home!" ”

The maidservant Zixuan came over and squatted down and gently beat her legs. Several children came to say goodbye, and when they saw that her forehead was injured, Jian'er cried first, and shouted with a crying voice: "Who dares to bully A-Niang!" Watch me kill him! ”

"You are a little child, who did you learn to open your mouth and close your mouth to kill, Yin'er! Come on! Shen Mengxi heard it and hurriedly stopped it.

Yin'er kowtowed and admitted her mistake, saying that she was not strict in disciplining her younger brother.

Shen Mengxi couldn't bear it, pulled him up, and sighed: "A-Niang accidentally fell by herself." Do not talk nonsense in the future. You are the grandsons of the Queen of Heaven and the nephews of the saints, so you should pay more attention to your words and deeds, so that the Queen of Heaven and the saints will not be disgraced by your words and deeds, remember? ”

"Remember!" The three children replied in unison.

Shen Mengxi rubbed each of the three children a few times on their heads and let them go back.

He sent everyone back, quietly wiped iodophor for disinfection, and rewrapped the wound.
