Chapter 3: Poisoning
The three of them were all confused, and they were the first to react, but they still chose to think less about talking and doing less, and they didn't say anything.
Li Chengqian pulled the stunned princess, walked not far away, turned his back to Chengxin and said: "He is a man, the younger brother of a friend of mine, but he seems to have lost his memory recently due to some accidents, and he has been learning singing and dancing in the Changge Workshop for the past year, so he may think of himself as a girl." ”
The crown princess still didn't believe it, "You didn't lie to me? Is it really a man? ”
Li Chengqian nodded, "If you don't believe it, you can find someone to check it out, and he should stay in the East Palace in a short time." ”
The crown princess still believed Li Chengqian's words, remembering what Li Chengqian had done in the past few years of marriage, even if he really wanted to marry a concubine, he wouldn't say anything, he didn't need to tell such a big lie, nodded and walked to the table with Li Chengqian in his arms.
After helping Li Chengqian to sit down, the crown princess also sat down, "Since it is the prince's friend, it is also my friend, sit down and eat together, Rouge asked them to bring the food." ”
Satisfied sat down silently and didn't dare to say anything, sitting on the chair dignified and looking like a lady.
Li Chengqian always felt awkward when he looked satisfied, and coughed, "Satisfactory, from tomorrow onwards, you won't wear women's clothes, just wear men's clothes, I don't dare to say that you will be prosperous and rich in the future, but as long as you do things honestly, I will get you an official and a half-job, and you can have no worries about food and clothing, and you don't have to do any cheap business to beg for food." ”
Satisfied, nodded but still didn't dare to speak, after all, there is too little information that can be used now, and it is better to wait a few days to say more and more wrong, and wait until he figures out what the situation is.
The crown princess looked restrained, and had a general idea in her heart, and after waiting for the meal to be served, she blocked the left and right for a while.
"The prince is no outsider, you better make it clear, it is also a dislike between our husband and wife, and I am satisfied that I will live in the East Palace these days, and the future will be indispensable for the ministers to help the place, if you don't say it clearly, the concubines will know whether to make a move, how to make a move."
Li Chengqian drank the sake in the cup in one gulp, "You should know about the autumn hunt six years ago, Changsun Chong and I were robbed by the former Sui Yu and the palace insider, and they wanted to use the two of us as bargaining chips with the Tatars in exchange for something. After saying this, Li Chengqian didn't know whether he was choked by the wine or spicy by the vegetables, in short, his eyes were red.
The crown princess was surprised: "Of course the concubine still remembers that it was a hunter who saved the prince with his apprentice. Is it true that the heart is the son of the hunter? ”
Li Chengqian shook his head, "Chengxin is the twin brother of the Orion apprentice, I can recognize it just by looking at his appearance, but I don't know why the Tatars actually found his family first, so that Xiangxin's parents died when he was a child, and he had to sell himself to bury his relatives." ”
Satisfaction is also blinded on the side, is there such a bizarre story, "Is what you said true?" Satisfaction asked cautiously.
Li Chengqian nodded, "These are all what Changsun Chong told me, although I have been looking for you and your family all these years, but I have found nothing, I think it may be that the Tatars are moving too fast." ”
The crown princess hurriedly got up and saluted to the heart, "The life-saving grace of the year is beyond repayment, I didn't expect to implicate the old people in the family, I just hope that I can compensate for it in the future, if there is a need for the Su family and the East Palace, please don't be polite." ”
If all this is true, then as long as you stay in this East Palace honestly, you can live the rest of your life as the family of the prince's life-saving benefactor, this is to find a permanent meal ticket.
Xiangxin hurriedly stood up and picked up the crown princess, "You two are polite, I lost my memory a few days ago and I don't remember a lot of things, if what the prince said is true, it was my sister who saved him, and it was Tatar who killed my family, after all, it still has nothing to do with you." ”
Li Chengqian waved his hand, "Everything starts because of me, you don't have to think too much, just settle down in this East Palace, although I can't leave the palace at will, but if there is something to take with you, it doesn't matter, from tomorrow onwards, you will change into men's clothes and learn to do things at my hands, after all, I will not treat you badly." ”
The knots in the hearts of the three people have also been untied, but they are all muttering in their hearts, but since the things on the surface have been said, there is no need to dwell on those details, there are still long days ahead.
The crown princess said while sandwiching the dishes for the prince, "Satisfaction, you eat more and see if this dish is appetizing." ”
Chengxin ate a bowl of chicken soup and rice from Changgefang and was already hungry, and he had been listening to the words of Li Chengqian and the crown princess just now and didn't notice the table of food in front of him, so he put his mind at ease and was ready to taste the craftsmanship of this imperial kitchen.
It's just that there are chopsticks on the left and chopsticks, and none of the seven or eight dishes can make the heart applaud, "To tell the truth, the cooking skills of our imperial chef in the East Palace are not very good." ”
Li Chengqian and the crown princess were a little surprised when they heard this, "Don't you have an appetite?" Or what else do you want to eat, I'll let the Imperial Chef do it now. The crown princess greeted.
Li Chengqian also tasted every dish, "It's the same as usual, I'm satisfied that you love to brag at such a young age, have you ever eaten something more delicious than these dishes?" ”
Satisfiedness nodded, "Prince, Princess." It's not that I'm bragging, it's just that this memory is really vague, but when I eat these dishes, I always feel that there is a lot of things missing, so it's better to let the people under you prepare what I want, and I'll show you two a hand. ”
Li Chengqian and the crown princess didn't believe it, they only thought that they were children who bragged about not coming to the stage, but they also regarded him as an ignorant younger brother, and the princess coughed, "Rouge, you come in, remember what you want to prepare to come out." ”
The palace maid named Rouge pushed open the door and walked in in a regular manner and waited for the order, and her heart was not ambiguous, the food of the Tang Dynasty was too monotonous, so it was better to show her hand.
"I said you remember, what to take, peppercorns, spices, bay leaves, cumin, sesame seeds, peppers, fine salt, oil, green vegetables, beef and mutton, if you have it, cut it into small cubes about this size, and finally look for some bamboo skewers so long." He gestured with his fingers as he spoke.
Rouge looked embarrassed, what is this, looked up at the crown princess, only to see her waving her hand, Rouge bent down and immediately went to the back kitchen.
Thinking about the barbecue, he couldn't eat these things in front of him, "Prince, do you want to go together, let's find some charcoal and a stove, and I'll keep you for eating this meal and want to eat it next." ”
The crown princess hurriedly suppressed Li Chengqian, who remembered, "It's good to let the next person do these things, you just need to wait with peace of mind, little Lizi, go find some charcoal and find a stove." ”
The East Palace was busy, and the sky gradually darkened, Li Chengqian silently walked to the side of the heart, "Do you remember this?" Do you have amnesia at all? ”
Xiangxin scratched his head, "Amnesia is definitely amnesia, I don't have to lie to you, but it's really hard to say what I forgot and what I didn't forget, for example, I haven't forgotten how to eat, what is delicious and what is not delicious, but I have forgotten many things I have experienced, and even the name of Satisfaction is only known when you told me." ”
Li Chengqian didn't look like he was lying, he limped around the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and he looked curious and finally couldn't hold back, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what's the matter with your feet." ”
Li Chengqian's face changed and turned the reddest or did not have a seizure, "Last year, the queen mother died, I fainted because of excessive sadness, and after waking up, this left foot became what it is now, and now it has been almost a year, but it is still the same as the original pain." ”
Squatted down to look at Li Chengqian's left foot, but was dodged by Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian's face was a little unsightly, but it was not good to have a seizure.
Looking at Li Chengqian's appearance, he said that he was too anxious, and he scolded people and didn't expose his shortcomings, and he had always been exposing his shortcomings. "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't think about it, I just suddenly feel that your condition is very strange, theoretically speaking, even if you are really lame, you shouldn't still have the pain in your heart for so long, it should have stopped hurting a long time ago."
Li Chengqian thought to himself that this was the case, but the imperial doctors in the palace, the miracle doctors outside the palace invited countless people, but they did not get better at all, what is going on with him is still inconclusive, is there a way to save himself from fire and water?
Seeing that Li Chengqian was no longer hiding, he hurriedly leaned over and took off Li Chengqian's shoes that were one size larger, took off his stockings, looked at the swollen and purple feet, and probably reached a conclusion in his heart, and touched the two lumps raised high on the surface of his feet, which confirmed the conclusion in his heart.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have a way to save it, but I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince believes me or not." Satisfaction is still quite confident, after all, the father of the chef teacher in the new northwest of the family has this disease, and it should be a problem at first glance.
Li Chengqian looked at Chengxin putting on shoes and socks for himself, sighed in his heart, and said that this Chengxin was afraid that he was a good temperament, but he still nodded, "I believe you, you don't have to do anything, I will also ensure that you don't have to worry about food and clothing, you don't have to do these things." ”
Satisfied, nodded, and said in his heart, this prince is afraid that he will not believe my words, no matter what, anyway, as long as the method is effective.
Here, the palace maid and the little eunuch also crushed the few seasonings they found into powder according to the satisfactory requirements, the beef, mutton and vegetables have also been dressed into skewers, the small brush and oil bowl are ready, and the charcoal in the stove is also burned red, and they look at it with satisfaction, and the princess and the prince on the side are also ready to see how he shows his skills.
I saw ten skewers of meat in my left hand and five skewers of vegetables in my right hand churning left and right on the cleaned iron net, brushing a layer of oil for a while, and sprinkled with seasonings for a while, this fragrance filled the entire courtyard for a while, and the eyes of the little palace maid and the little eunuch never left the stove.
"It's finally baked, let's give you two a taste of this first one, this one is yours, this one is yours." Xiangxin walked to the side of the prince and the crown princess, handed the meat skewers to the princess in his left hand, and handed the vegetables to the prince in his right hand.
Li Chengqian was a little unhappy, the fragrance of this meat skewer was smelled by the whole courtyard, why did he only give him green vegetables, and before he could speak satisfactorily, he opened his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I just said that I can cure your left foot, you just need to follow my method to ensure that your pain is reduced within a month, and it will basically improve within a year." "Satisfaction didn't dare to say big things, so it was better to stretch the front and talk about it.
The crown princess on the side looked surprised, she didn't see that Xiangxin boldly took off the prince's shoes and socks just now, if she saw it, she would definitely not allow it, but when she heard Xiangxin's words, she still looked at the prince in surprise, and wanted to wait for his statement.
I saw Li Chengqian gently shake his head at him, "Okay, this palace will believe you once." As he spoke, he took the green vegetables in his hand, but when he saw the white and tender palm of his heart, he looked stunned and didn't say anything, but he kept this in his heart.
The crown princess saw that the prince didn't say anything, and she didn't ask about it, and when she went to bed for a while, she had time to ask him, and she also took the meat skewer in her hand, looked at the long skewer and asked, "How do you eat it!" ”
Xiangxin took a skewer of meat from her hand again, and took off a piece of meat with a big mouth, "It's good to eat like this, if you feel dirty, then ask the palace maid to take the meat down and eat it with chopsticks." ”
After eating this skewer in two bites, although it is not as delicious as in the twenty-first century, it is still decent food, and seeing that there are still a lot of meat skewers waiting for the favor of the charcoal fire, I am satisfied with taking another fifteen skewers and grilling them.
The crown princess and the prince asked their subordinates to get the skewers on the plate before they began to taste, both of them were dazzled, this taste is indeed better than that made by the imperial kitchen, looked at each other and nodded, Li Chengqian remembered it again, and said that he could cure his feet, and couldn't help believing it in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Do you say you can cure my feet?" Then tell me how you want to treat it. ”
Xiangxin was still greeting the skewers in his hand, and he didn't look at him, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only needs to eat and drink according to my method, and keep you recovering." ”
Li Chengqian ate another piece of green vegetables, and said in his heart that this taste is really good, "Tell me about it." ”
But he said: "Before I say it, I need to know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince eats and writes every day these days. ”
Li Chengqian's face changed, "Do you mean that someone poisoned this palace?" ”
