When Qin Xun was picking up the package sent by his eldest brother to the palace, he was quite surprised to dig out the recipe booklet, and then he understood the eldest brother's little bit of bad thoughts, this was to ask him to take the recipe book to dismantle the kitchen of Jingyang Palace, and toss some poison out to feed Qi Jing.

He did so, and Qi Jing faced the plate of charred black balls in front of him, and took one bite without blinking.

"How's it taste?" Qin Xun looked at Qi Jing's chewing appearance with interest.

“…… Fair. Qi Jing spoke somewhat reluctantly.

Qin Xun couldn't help laughing, and reached out to pull the plate: "Okay, don't eat it, I have self-knowledge, I think I put this in a box and ask someone to send it to Qin Zhenhai for the evening banquet, and say that it is his son who honors him and makes amends for his sins." ”

"You can't help but ......," Qi Jing smiled and shook his head.

Qin Xun shook a list of officials for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in his hand, and said with a smile: "You can actually get a list for me so quickly." ”

"What do you want, I can't get it?" Qi Jing knocked him on the forehead, "It's just that the chefs in my palace are working hard today, one for each family, but some of them are busy, just for the sake of your childishness, I want to fight with Qi Buying." ”

At dusk, the emperor was still in the Xuanshu Palace, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the palace people holding a food box at the door and handing it to Wu Gonggong to say a few words, Wu Gonggong came into the room with it, and the emperor asked casually: "What is it?" ”

Gonggong Wu carefully placed the food box on the side of the table in the emperor's hand, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the palace people came to report, saying that the third prince of General Qin asked the chef in the palace of His Royal Highness to make some food, and he came to present it to His Majesty." ”

"Oh? What to eat? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's called '** Crisp'." After Wu Gonggong finished speaking, he added to himself, "It is the food that has some characteristics in Xuzhou, Jiangnan, which is said to be called meat moon cakes, and I think it is the third prince of Qin who saw the Mid-Autumn Festival today, so he presented this Jiangnan-style moon cake to make His Majesty taste happy." ”

"He changed his name to ** crisp?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, as if smiling, "In addition to me, did that kid also give this thing to others?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, in addition to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and all the palaces in the palace have sent a box, and each of the courtiers who went to the banquet today received a box."

The emperor let out a "hmm" in disapproval, opened the food box and looked at it: "Isn't that place the same?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness arrived at the place of the banquet early, and the Third Prince of Qin gave it to him."

The emperor suddenly laughed: "That kid! ”

Gonggong Wu couldn't tell for a while whether the emperor's "that kid" was talking about the fourth highness or the third prince of Qin, so he just smiled and stood aside without saying a word.

In the open-air banquet venue arranged in the imperial garden, Qi Lang looked at the smiling red-clothed young man with an ugly face who had just handed over the food box in his hand.

The court banquet has not yet been announced and all the ministers have arrived early, and when each courtier receives the box of food called "** crisp" from Jingyang Palace, they all look at the third prince of Qin who is said to teach the chef to make this kind of food, but ask for a puzzle.

"The third son of Qin, the old man also went to the land south of the Yangtze River when he was young, and he has heard a little about this food, wrapping the meat filling in puff pastry.

It is called fresh meat moon cakes, which are different from ordinary moon cakes, but they are not called "** crisp", I don't know where the name comes from? ”

"If you are not talented, you are good at fame." Qin Xun brought out the "Water Mill Jade Bone" peach blossom folding fan painted by Qi Jing today, and bent his eyebrows and shook it in a good mood.

Since the last folding fan was broken by his own foot on the bank of Xunshui on the same day, he has not touched this kind of thing for more than a month, and it is quite kind to play with it again today.

Of course, since it is a fan painted by Qi Jing himself, the title is still the "love" poem that Qin Xun selfishly identified, since it can no longer be as casual as playing with crude things in the past, and it is necessary to cherish things.

He glanced at the four princes beside him who were staring at him with gloomy faces, and said with a smile: "It's just a name, this orange will have different names of 'orange' and 'citrus' in the south and north of Huaibei, and the fresh meat moon cakes of Xuzhou will be brought to Chang'an from the bottom, and what is wrong with changing the name to '**crisp'?" ”

"Then may I ask the third son of Qin, why do you pay attention to changing your name to '** crisp'?" Qi Lang gritted his teeth, revealing a smiling expression.

You kid knows it in his heart, if you don't tell me to say it and be angry with you, then I will naturally be respectful and obey my fate, and don't blame me for what you ask for. Qin Xun shook the folding fan in his hand a few times with great interest, and was even more happy when he looked at Qi Lang.

"The words of Hechong, the Tao is the feng shui numerology of the heavenly stem and the earthly branch, in the name of **, I wish my great Qi national fortune is smooth, tend to be auspicious and avoid evil, and the thousand autumns are beautiful, but it is just a small wish to express a few ministers." Qin Xun swept the courtiers' expressions, and then looked back at Qi Lang, the smile was still the same, but the eyes that looked at Qi Lang were full of malice, "But speaking of which, the ** nature in the twelve earthly branches flows to each other and mixes into each other, and the meaning of 'Zhou Xing is immortal' taken from the Taoist scriptures in the name and surname of the four highnesses, which is quite corresponding. ”

Qi Lang squeezed out a "thank you" between his teeth, and called Jiang Ke, who was holding the ** shortbread box for him behind him, and left the scene without looking back.

Qin Xun was in a good mood and glanced at the back of the new guard commander in the Qilang Palace.

Qi Lang named the three guards "Jiang Ke" in a row, and used the meaning of "Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin" as a metaphor for Qin Xun, and Qin Xun faced the emperor's concubine and many civil and military officials, etc., and brushed Qi Lang's face with the meaning of "King Qin swept **".

"The nature of numerology and the words of the Tao Sutra are not suitable for the speed of the tongue, and the third prince of Qin is inevitably a child with a heavy temperament."

The unfamiliar and gentle voice of the old man behind him made Qin Xun slightly startled for a moment without warning, and when he turned around, he saw an old Taoist with a silver beard and a Taoist robe standing upright.

Normally, with Qin Xun's ear power, the old man's footsteps could reach his ears far away, but it obviously did not include the unfathomable old Taoist in front of him.

He restrained his joking look and saluted, "Meet the real person." ”

"The third prince of Qin is polite." The old Taoist smiled slightly, returned the salute kindly, and without saying much, the dust drifted away with the crook of his arm.

Qin Xun only saw this person from afar a few times when he was a child, and he spoke in Chang'an

The preacher, because he didn't like to listen to the sermon, felt bored, and did not remember too deep an impression, and this was the first time to greet each other with this respected old Taoist.

He could have a serious teasing conversation with the Unity Dao Master, but he couldn't be disrespectful to the old man who was polite to the Great Qi King.

"The first time I saw the old Taoist, I asked people to say that you were childish and ignorant." Qin Huai approached his younger brother, and saw that Qi Jing had just finished talking to a young minister, and he also walked over, and added to him, "It's all what you're used to." ”

Qi Jing smiled and saluted solemnly: "I've seen the eldest brother." ”

Qin Huai was surprised and laughed: "Yo, do I have to wrap up a change of mouth fee for you?" ”

"Big brother has seen the outside, so you don't have to care about being polite." Qi Jingsong clenched his fist and coughed lightly, hiding a little smile, and when he wanted to say something more, he met the courtiers who wanted to talk, so he had to smile at the two brothers of the Qin family and go to the side first.

Qin Huai looked up and down at his younger brother who hadn't seen him for a few days: "I didn't see it when I saw you, the two of you are really well matched when you dress up today, it's autumn, you two still look like peach blossoms in the spring breeze, and everyone feels a pain in the eyes." ”

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is set in the open air of the Imperial Garden, in order to enjoy the moon, Qi Jing is afraid that the night will be cold after the sun sets, and before coming here, he added a smock to himself and Qin Xun to wear on his body, Qin Xun wore a smock with red edges on a white background, covering most of the bright red clothes inside, Qi Jing's white clothes and smock are navy blue piping, the cutting style and color matching method worn by the two today are not much different, and they are indeed a good match when they are close together.

"Newlywed Yan'er, I can't help but get tired of being crooked, big brother, forgive me." Qin Xun smiled and spoke as he shook the folding fan in his hand in front of his brother a few times, so that he could see clearly the poems inscribed on the fan reciting the marriage.

Qin Huai laughed out loud as if he was playful: "It seems that the good things that you asked me for when you returned to the city were used, and I really understood when you were in Jiangnan, but you actually went directly to the bed to fight." ”

Qin Xun also said bluntly without blushing and without a heartbeat: "Things are good things, but the first time, it still hurts a little afterwards." ”

Qin Huai deliberately dragged out a long "oh": "Although I expected you to be the one under you, tsk, I still think you are a little unproductive." ”

"What do you want, he's Qi Jing."

Qin Xun was just proud, and was pressed on the shoulder by the eldest brother, and there seemed to be a bit of grinding teeth in Qin Huai's voice: "Yes, don't make a difference, you kid is a good trick, what did you say to deal with that Guo Shangshu that day?" Now he is thinking about asking me if I like when the girl plans to get married, and he said that he wants to introduce the niece of the wife of the family to me, and you really don't feel guilty at all for pulling your eldest brother in the way. ”

Qin Xun was stunned for a moment: "How did I know that this person is so difficult!" ”

There are many young and old people in the Qin family today, but Qin Xun's mother Lin Chu is still living in Lin Yuan and is absent from the court banquet, but his father Qin Zhenhai doesn't know whether he is too lazy to bring his wife and concubine because he cares about the Lin family's face, and he didn't bring Mrs. Erfanggu along

Only took the eldest son Qin Huai and the second son Qin Xiao who were officials, and the daughter Qin Miao made a fuss to be together, Qin Zhenhai was not good and only left a son, and his grandson Qin Shang did not hesitate to follow his father and grandfather when he saw it, so in the end, the general dragged his family and brought all the children and grandchildren of the house to the court banquet, and his expression was quite a headache.

While Qin Xun and Qin Huai were talking, the two cousins of his uncle Qin Zhenshan's family held hands and jumped close to him, Qin Wanyu pointed to the folding fan in the hand of the third cousin and said: "I read this with Scarlet in the Women's Garden, it's "Tao Yao", right, cousin?" ”

"Well, yes, remember the last sentence?" Qin Xun rubbed his cousin's head with a smile, and raised the folding fan to show the two of her the two of them on the fan surface.

Qin Wanyu scratched his cheeks: "The son of Yu Gui ......"

"It's a good room!" Qin Feilan took the next sentence.

Qin Xun laughed: "Yes, that's right! Yiqi room home, it is indeed Yiqi room home! ”

The two little girls looked confused.

"What's the matter, this...... It's just a few lines of poetry, right? ”

"I don't know, why is my cousin so happy?"

Qin Huai glanced at the appearance of the three of them and muttered, "The ghost knows what he is thinking." He left his cousins and sisters to play with them, and went back to sit down at the table of the general's family.

There are two boxes of the so-called "** crisp" on the table, one box is no different from the hand of the chef of Jingyang Palace, and the other box is sent by the palace maid named Qingyan in Jingyang Palace.

At that time, Qin Huai saw his father and said with relief, "Even that kid has some conscience", he said in his heart, when you taste a bite of the food made by your third son, you won't feel like this, and at that time, you will feel that the kid's conscience has been eaten by dogs.

Father Qin Zhenhai didn't know how to leave to talk to his colleagues, Qin Miao Xu also went to the little sister of the official family, only the second brother Qin Xiao and the younger brother Qin Hong were left at the table, Qin Hong sat down and glanced at the food box on the table, sighed, and said: "The family is unfortunate." ”

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Qin Xiao asked.

"No, what about your son?"

"Shang'er saw a few little companions from other families and went to play together."

Qin Huai swept around, and saw that Qin Shang was playing with a few boys of the same age a few feet away, and he said thoughtfully: "Zixu, you still have to pay attention, it's okay not to let your son eat and live with a little brother of the same age for as long as he can remember, hug and hug sticky, unless he ......"

"What?"

"Unless you want more than one son."

“…… Yes? Qin Xiao looked dazed, "How could the eldest brother suddenly say such a thing?" ”

Qin Huai glanced at him meaninglessly, and knocked his fingers on the table: "It's nothing, suddenly there is a younger brother, and I feel it." ”
