Lei Nian is a good hand at pretending to be sick, since he was "pampered" by Haoyuan, he has been "ill", and he is also "more than enough to visit" Haoyuan and then to Xianyang Palace.

The devil knows that I was afraid that Lei Nian was really sick, so I fed him blood a few times.

I'm afraid the ghost doesn't know, what I did in order to cooperate with Lei Nian's acting.

It's only in the morning that I have to go to court, and I can still be like an emperor. But even if it is the last dynasty, I have to pinch the time, for fear of missing the lunch of Lord Xianwang, who has designated me to eat the food I made himself!

Since Xuancang is a landlocked country, although there are two large rivers flowing through it, it is not close to the sea, but Lei Nian prefers to eat the things in the sea.

The territory of the night is vast, one side is coastal, according to Lei Nian, the ingredients in the sea are all the blood jade ice buckets that are sent from the coast all the way to the Night Shadow Palace. I thought it was strange, I lived in the night for a few days, except for the occasional river fish, where did the seafood come from on the table?

But Xuanhu said that Lei Nian loved to eat seafood sent to the palace from the coast when he was young, and because Lei Nian was favored by his mother, the current queen mother, this seafood category has almost never been broken, and it will continue to be sent to the Yeyouxian Yang Palace.

Okay, I can't bear Xuanhu's elbow turned to Lei Nian, I can only order someone to go to the coastal area of Diheng to purchase seafood and send it back in a blood jade ice bucket, before the seafood is delivered, I have to wash my hands and make soup for this big man, otherwise he will be dead or alive, half dead, saying that he can't eat and die, and his life will be short.

The small kitchen of Xianyang Palace always lacked the materials needed for Lei Nian's strange requests, so I had no choice but to go to the imperial dining room, and because Lord Chenwang Haoyuan wanted Hongyi to come back to cook for him at every turn, I would inevitably bump into Hongyi in the imperial dining room.

Now I received a menu from Cao Kan again, okay, eight dishes and one soup, I'm really not afraid of eating a fat pig.

These dishes are okay, but he only wrote three words in this soup "Bazhen Soup", which is clearly the name of the prescription prescribed by the doctor for me to replenish blood and recuperate, how do I do it? Boil a pot of medicine and send it to him?

Although this blood tonic or something is also very suitable for Lei Nian to drink, but what he wants is definitely not medicine!

I asked the imperial chef around, but I couldn't tell how to make this Bazhen soup. It's Hongyi, who is simmering on the stove with a warm smile on her face, and the fragrance is fragrant.

I met Hongyi in the imperial dining room before, and I didn't pay attention to him anymore after he saluted me, and now I have a problem, he should have heard it, but he didn't pay attention to me.

"Ahem" I faked a cough while coming to Hongyi's side.

Hongyi turned to me, "Your Majesty has an uncomfortable throat?" ”

"Ah, no, no." I wouldn't have pretended to cough if I had known.

"Then, Your Majesty has something to ask Hongyi?"

I handed the menu to Hongyi, who scanned it, and his eyes stayed on the Bazhen soup.

"In your opinion, what is the recipe for this Bazhen soup?"

Hongyi thought for a moment, "Perhaps, it is to mix medicinal herbs with ingredients to make it." ”

Huh? That's a way of thinking, medicinal diet! I asked again: "Ginseng, Atractylodes, Poria Cocos, Angelica, Chuanxiong, White Peony, Rehmannia Rehmannia, Licorice?" It's these eight flavors, right? ”

Hongyi smiled and replied: "Exactly." ”

"Is it that if you boil these eight kinds of medicine and put some seasoning, it's done?"

"Heh" Hongyi chuckled for a moment, "Your Majesty, isn't that still medicine?" ”

I scratched my head, "Ah, what does this virtuous king want to eat!" ”

Recently, I have been doting on King Xian, and many people know that I personally cook for King Xian, and I have no idea of hiding it.

Hongyi asked: "King Xian takes medicine on weekdays, is he afraid of hardship?" ”

I thought hard for a long time, what does King Xian look like when he takes medicine? I don't remember!

At this time, Yan Yu happened to come to me, and after listening to Hongyi's question, he said: "King Xian is afraid of hardship, and he must contain a black sugar after taking medicine every time. ”

Hongyi was relieved, and said to me again: "If Your Majesty can trust Hongyi, Hongyi is willing to give it a try." ”

I was naturally happy that someone did it for me, and hurriedly said, "You go and try it, anyway, someone will test the poison after you finish it." ”

Hongyi probably didn't expect me to be so direct, and after a moment's pause, he smiled lightly, "How dare Hongyi." ”

I waved my hand, I don't care if you dare or not, Lao Tzu doesn't want to say kind words to you when he sees that you are not pleasing to the eye, why should he go.

Then I pulled Yan Yu out of the imperial dining room, sat down on the steps at the door and asked, "Brother Yan, has the matter been done?" ”

"Yes, it has been arranged for the guards of the country's Night Shadow to pretend to be the Night Shadow Messenger to go to Diheng."

"This person is reliable?"

Yan Yu smiled and nodded: "The Yan family has a great favor to him. ”

"Good!" I was happy in my heart and patted my thigh hard, "Then in half a month at most, Haoyuan will receive the news and have to leave Xuancang!" ”

Yanyu took my restless hand, "How can you slap yourself?" If you want to shoot me, shoot me. ”

Well, that's what a normal speech should look like, gentle to me and able to pinch out water at any time.

Counting the days, I asked again: "The 20,000 soldiers and horses borrowed by Di Heng are almost here, right?" ”

"We will arrive at the fortifications of the city wall in less than seven days, do you want them to be led by each of the twelve houses on the spot, or will I make rules with them first?"

"Hehe, Brother Yan understands me. Although the Zodiac is still quite knowledgeable and obedient now, after all, the 20,000 people are overwhelming the number of people who can't be seen at a glance, and it is not appropriate to let people like the Zodiac who have no experience in leading troops take it away, and someone needs to set up rules for them first. ”

Yanyu smiled, "Yes, Hu'er and I went to the same place. ”

Whenever there is a tacit understanding, the word domain will always be happy.

I don't want to attack Yanyu, but 20,000 soldiers and horses is not a small number, so I still have to express my concerns in advance, so I said: "Brother Yan, although you have gone up the mountain to suppress bandits, strictly speaking, you have no experience in leading troops to fight."

"Hu'er can't trust me?" Yan Yu's face immediately changed.

I hurriedly shook my head, "No, no, no, I mean, you go and let these 20,000 people reclaim the land outside the city wall fortifications first, and plant the land first before the spring plowing season has passed. When the spring ploughing is over, let's go together to teach and establish rules, and then you will practice them again, how about it? ”

Yan Yu looked at me with a smile: "Are you borrowing soldiers, or are you borrowing 20,000 cattle to help you plow the land?" ”

I pouted and said, "Our Xuancang people can train to be a militia in winter, so why can't he be a militia and be called to farm?" Tell them that they will have to grow their own rations, and that if the harvest is bad, they will wait to go hungry. ”

"I'm afraid they're going to cry with the Twelfth Palace, and they want the Twelfth Palace to ask King Chen to transfer them back to Diheng."

"Brother Yan doesn't know? Lei Nian not only asked Haoyuan to write a handwritten letter for the transfer of troops, but also asked Haoyuan to draw a note for borrowing 20,000 troops for five years. ”

"Oh? Where's the note? ”

I spread my hands helplessly and said, "In Lei Nian's hands, he wants me to serve him for three months before handing it over to me." ”

Yan Yu immediately got up, "What is the difference between King Xian's lunch?" I'm here to help, too! ”
