"The princess has been tired all the way, let's get even"!

"Thank you, Your Majesty"!

Although Duan Suling's face was a little tired, she still remained sober and didn't dare to have a trace of fatigue, so she carefully sat down.

"Today is the Shangyuan Festival, the lantern festival in Bianjing is very lively, the princess comes to Bianjing, if you are free, it is better to go to this Bianjing City with me to see"!

Duan Suling got up and saluted Zhao Heng, Zhao Heng stretched out his hand as if inviting her, Duan Suling followed behind Zhao Heng, there were only two people in the imperial chariot, Zhao Heng and Duan Suling, the imperial chariot moved forward slowly, the wind blew the curtain, the curtain was bustling, the crowd of people coming and going, endless, very lively, the imperial chariot stopped, Zhao Heng got down first, and then gave birth to a hand, but Duan Suling did not appreciate it at all, he jumped out of the car, and the accompanying team was very grand.

Liu Sanbian and Li Shishi are wandering around on the street, the lantern is very beautiful, the teacher is choosing a lantern, Liu Sanbian is standing aside, there is a scholar selling calligraphy and painting next to him, Liu Sanbian snatched the paper and pen in the scholar's hand, and wrote "Pouring Cup Music, Forbidden Leakage Flowers Deep" in one breath, Li Shishi turned around, he saw the words, some couldn't put it down, and hummed the words casually: "Forbidden leakage flowers are deep, embroidery is eternal, and the wind is warm." Change Shaojing, Dumen twelve, Lantern Festival three or five, silver toad full. Lianyun Fudao Lingfei view. Towering the imperial palace, Jiaqi Rui smoke onion.

Xiang Xiaose and the people have not dispersed. Yingwanjing, the mountain is calling. May the years be old, in the battle of heaven, always look at the phoenix".

The pedestrians on the street heard the singing of Master Li, and they gathered around, the new words of Liu Sanchang quickly spread, in the hook fence tiles on both sides of the street in the distance, there are sumo, not only men's sumo, but also women's sumo, there is a lively temple fair in front of the Great Xiangguo Temple, the horse riding lamp keeps turning, the cover of the lamp is painted with the story of Yang Jiajiang, on the stall next to it, there is a delicate nine-ring, there is a rattle next to the nine-ring, and there is a ring next to it, in addition to watching, playing, naturally it is also less to make up for food, There is a small stall, Dr. Tea is holding a bowl of Lantern Festival, the stall Dr. Tea is very sharp-eyed, put the bowl of Lantern Festival on the table of a guest official in Fujian, and asked, "What do the two officials want to eat?"

Duan Suling said a little shyly: "What do you have?"

"Small business, the most popular thing in the small shop is tadpole powder and sugar candies."

Duan Suling asked with some confusion: "What is tadpole powder, you actually eat tadpoles"?

Zhao Heng was actually amused by Duan Suling on the side.

"This little lady, I'm afraid you have misunderstood, this tadpole flour is a snack processed from wheat flour or mung bean flour. Add wheat flour or mung bean flour to water and make a very thin batter, stir dozens of times, scoop it into a colander spoon, gently shake it in a pot of boiling water, the batter will leak down the hole hole, and fall into the pot of boiling water, sink to the bottom first, and then float up, cook it twice, take out the fence, take it down, control the water, mix with the marinade, mix with the greens, and you can eat. In view of the fact that the hole of the colander is round, the small ball of thin batter that leaks down is also round, and because they are bound to be subjected to some resistance when they leak down, the lotus root is broken, dragging mud and water, so each ball of batter is dragged with a small tail, round head, small tail, very similar to a small tadpole, so it is called tadpole powder."

Duan Suling nodded, as if he understood, and asked again, "Is the sugar garden like a mallet?"

"It's almost, but it's not so exaggerated, sugar is a snack processed with flour and brown sugar, the method is also very simple, mix the flour and brown sugar, add water and form a very thick dough, and then knead it into long strips, pinch it into small sections, knead it into a small round ball, fry it in an oil pan, and string it with a bamboo skewer, that is, it becomes a sugar gourd, from the appearance, it is very similar to a rock sugar gourd. It is a kind of sweet snack with a long history, which has been popular as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and has become the staple food of the Lantern Festival in our Great Song Dynasty.

"Let's have two servings of sugar stalks!"

The tea doctor quickly brought two tadpole powder and sugar and handed them to Duan Suling, and the guards who followed behind gave a piece of rice to the tea doctor, and Duan Suling gave a sugar cake to Zhao Heng.

Duan Suling walked in front with a candy stick, while Zhao Heng walked slowly behind, his eyes looked directly at Duan Suling's back as he walked away, Zhao Heng smiled lightly: "She is interesting, if Da Song and Dali can marry, it will naturally be good!" Turning his head to talk to the minister beside him, he was talking about something.

At a small stall, Liu Sanbian and Li Shishi were picking hairpins, Liu Sanchang Li Shishi inserted a golden step shake, head-on towards Duan Suling's side, inadvertently, Duan Suling and Liu Sanbian met each other's eyes, the sugar in Duan Suling's hand fell to the ground and was trampled by pedestrians, Duan Suling cried and turned the Divine Comedy, and put it aside, and Liu Sanbian chased behind, until the unmanned ferry, Duan Suling stopped, and Liu Sanbian followed behind her.

For a long time, the breeze blew and the willow branches and leaves rustled.

"Ling'er, back then, as soon as you left, I actually regretted it, and now that you and I are reunited, I am really happy"!

Duan Suling turned around, her eyes were full of sao po, Liu Sanbian wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand, and poured her into her arms, Master Li, who had been following Liu Sanchang, was hiding in the bushes and was secretly shedding tears, and behind her, a hand appeared, and the man knocked her unconscious and took her away.

Duan Suling suddenly pushed Liu Sanbian away: "I can come to the Great Song Dynasty because my father asked me to be in the Great Song Dynasty, and only in this way can I reunite with you, I am here for you, but I want to marry His Majesty the High Song Dynasty."

"No, I can take you, we will fly far away, wander the world, as long as you want to go, I will accompany you."

"I can't go, if I go, I'm afraid it will provoke a war between the two countries, along the way, I've heard too many stories about you, around you, there has never been a shortage of women, and I'm just one of them, if you still want to get fame and become an official, I will help you, as long as I'm by Zhao Heng's side for a day, you will definitely be able to go to high school, as long as you're good, I can rest assured, this is the only reason for my quilt to live."

"In that case, let it be, let's go, I'll send you back"!
