Chapter 329: Lin'er is smart
The Seventh Prince will also see it.
The younger brothers are all targeting Mrs. Dingyuan Hou, and that is because of the competition for the little prince Nan Minxing. And the brothers are taking the opportunity to show grace to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
even, take the opportunity to curry favor with his father.
After all, the father's partiality for Mrs. Dingyuan is very obvious. Mrs. Dingyuan said something like that, and her father was not angry.
The Seventh Prince thought about it, but still stood up and followed the steps of his brothers: "Father, the sons feel that if the name of the first floor of the Drunken Immortal Building is not promoted, there will be more opportunities for them to offer pastries to the palace." β
"Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis can show her skills again next time." Half of each side of the Seven Princes' words.
If this Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is not worth helping, he can follow his younger brothers next time. If not, he would have helped.
The emperor's temperament now, Concubine Zhen is the most clear.
She gently stroked her hand on the shoulders of the Eleventh Prince, seemingly smoothing the creases on the Eleventh Prince's clothes, but in fact, she was secretly pushing the Eleventh Prince forward.
"It smells so good!" The eleventh prince praised, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked at the emperor expectantly, "Father, what do you want to test the emperor?" Can you make it simpler? β
"Can't wait? Then the father will test you, and first memorize the first chapter of "Kindergarten Qionglin". The emperor asked.
He looked at his two twin sons again, and said, "You two should be thorough about "Kindergarten Qionglin", and each of you should make an article and read it. Let's get started. β
Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, the little eunuchs naturally prepared it for the princes quickly.
"Since the exquisite knife work of Mrs. Mengding Yuanhou is divided into numbers, the three of you will write an article, and you will be asked to write an article on the topic of 'brother'."
The Ten Princes were a little anxious and looked at the Emperor.
The emperor looked at the Ten Princes and did not speak.
The Ten Princes were suddenly very anxious, not knowing what he had done wrong, why his father was the only one who gave him the question.
He thought about it carefully, could he have said something wrong?
When his eyes fell on Nan Minxing, who was looking at him, the Ten Princes suddenly realized that he had just questioned whether Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis could separate the chrysanthemum cake into petals.
Did you ask the wrong question?
The Ten Princes thought hard about it, and if there was a mistake, they would correct it. He confessed his mistake to the emperor and said: "Father, the emperor should not question Mrs. Dingyuan. These petals that have been made are enough to prove her superb knife work. β
The emperor still didn't speak, but turned his gaze to Su Zhaoning's side again.
He asked again: "Su Shi, there is still a lot of time, you can divide this chrysanthemum cake too." β
Su Zhaoning nodded in agreement and asked the emperor: "Please also ask Your Majesty to allow your courtiers to clean their hands first." β
The emperor will not hinder him.
Because these knives were also a little dirty, the queen directly ordered the palace maid to serve a few basins of water.
After Su Zhaoning washed his hands with water, he naturally took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe the water on his hands and the sweat on his forehead.
When she walked over to the pastry again, there was no place for the queen to find fault.
Several princes were either writing hard, or meditating, or worrying, but Su Zhaoning picked up the thin knife again and swiped it on the pastry.
Trying to separate the pastries, when did you do that? Su Zhaoning recalled that when he was in the Chang'an Hou Mansion, his eldest brother Su Jinyu took himself to cook.
"To make a good meal, you must not only be familiar with what the ingredients look like when they are not cooked, but also that the ingredients are the best." Su Jinyu took a piece of osmanthus cake to show off with Su Zhaoning, he dropped the thin knife in his hand and separated the pastries one by one.
"And what is unique about such a pastry that has already been made. The reason why this osmanthus cake can not fall crumbs is because of the proper honey. If there is too much honey, if the knife falls, the cutting time will not be smooth, which is also inappropriate. β
Su Jinyu took Su Zhaoning to open all the pastries and taught her in detail: "Only if you know that they are not what they look like at the best time, can you make the best of them." β
In fact, in terms of knife work, Su Zhaoning was not very good at it in the past. She makes pastries a lot of times, but she rarely has the opportunity to use a knife.
In the past six months since he got married, Su Zhaoning has contacted the knife worker more times than in the previous year in the Chang'an Hou Mansion.
She knows herself, she understands herself, and what she does best is practice makes perfect.
Whether it is a female celebrity or the ability to copy calligraphy and painting, these are the results of Su Zhaoning's practice since childhood.
Once, in order to dig a trap for An Yi that could not be turned over, Su Zhaoning followed Nan Wanwan to practice archery day and night, almost sleepless day and night.
And the practice of knife work, she is for Nan Huaixin.
After marrying into the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, Su Zhaoning heard Nan Wanwan say that every New Year, because he was not liked by Wu Lao Taijun, Nan Huaixin would always be forbidden by Wu Lao Taijun to keep vigil with everyone.
And in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, there is actually a tradition. Every year on New Year's Day, there is always a plate of cakes in the shape of a blessing character.
On the first day of the new year, be blessed.
Nan Wanwan said that every year in the past, she secretly hid her piece of Fuzi pastry and left it to her brother. However, Nan Huaixin always pushed "Fu" back to his sister.
Su Zhaoning thought that day that if she could create "blessings", she would be able to give Nan Huaixin a lot of blessings, and he would no longer have to wait for a long time.
It's a pity that this year's New Year, Nan Huaixin is still not blessed.
In front of Su Zhaoning, the chrysanthemum pastry had already been cut off a few strands. The pastry was so exquisitely made that a piece of pastry was cut into more than ten pieces and not completely broken.
The Ten Princes couldn't help but praise on the side: "This pastry is really well done!" β
Su Zhaoning's lips rose slightly, and joy was revealed in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
She separated the pastries, but she actually had another idea.
Although there is a hairpin with a silver body in the bun, it is impossible for Su Zhaoning to rub a hole in every piece of pastry to check whether it is toxic.
The knives sent from the imperial dining room this time were dozens of silver knives.
Now that it's so finely cut and tried slowly, the fact that the pastry is poisonous should be a false alarm.
The chrysanthemum cake has been cut in half, and the articles of several princes have also been written halfway. Only the eleventh prince still hasn't recited a sentence of "Kindergarten Qionglin".
The Ten Princes still did not get the problem of the emperor.
He was so anxious that he almost wanted to cry.
Where did he offend his father?
The Ten Princes were in a panic, and they couldn't help but cast their eyes on Nan Minxing, who was beside Su Zhaoning.
I saw that Nan Minxing was using a knife to gently move the chrysanthemum petal cake in front of Su Zhaoning farther away from the cake that had not yet been cut.
Nan Min was very careful in his actions, for fear that he would damage these chrysanthemum petal cakes. But he didn't give up.
Of course, the Ten Princes knew why Nan Minxing did this.
This little prince is worried that these chrysanthemum petal cakes are piled up in front of her, affecting her mother's knife work.
The Ten Princes thought.
Behind him, he suddenly felt a burst of force, and the Ten Princes couldn't help but turn around.
I saw the eleventh prince standing next to him, cautiously peeking at the emperor, and then beckoning to him.
"Tenth brother, teach." The Eleventh Prince whispered for help.
The Ten Princes felt that the Eleventh Prince's idea was a bit naΓ―ve. Their father is on the side, no matter how small the voice is, how can they not hear it at all?
Besides, even if my father didn't hear it, everyone else in the room listened. The Queen Mother and Mother Jane won't say anything. But can the Eighth Emperor Brother and the Nine Emperor Brothers not find fault?
The eyes of the Ten Princes fell on the paper in front of the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince, and when he was about to push away the Eleventh Prince, the corner of his eye swept the paper of his other imperial brothers.
The word "brother" appeared clearly in front of his eyes.
Looking at the word "brother" that the fifth prince had written again, the tenth prince finally realized.
He bent down and put his mouth to the ear of the Eleventh Prince, and whispered, "Chaos." β
The eleventh prince's eyes lit up, and he continued: "Chaos is beginning to open, and the universe is beginning. β
"The beginning of Qiankun, the beginning of Qiankun......" The eleventh prince only memorized two sentences, and then he was stuck again.
These words are very complicated, and although the eleventh prince has been learning, he can't remember them at all. So now he can only look at the Ten Princes for help.
The Ten Princes scolded a stupid sentence in their hearts, but they reminded again: "The ...... of Qi"
"The breath is light and clear...... The light and clear ...... of qi "The eleventh prince paused again.
The Ten Princes made a gesture of raising their hands. Seeing that the eleventh prince still didn't understand, he made another flying pose.
The eleventh prince had an epiphany, and hurriedly said: "Those who float up with the lightness of qi are dead, and those who condense under the heavy turbidity of qi are the ground." β
The Ten Princes nodded with satisfaction. This time, he took the initiative to remind the eleventh prince, stretched out five fingers and shook it, and stretched out two fingers of his other hand as well.
"The five stars of the sun and the moon are called the seven politics." The eleventh prince finally stumbled and recited it again.
Although the childish voice was obviously not recited very smoothly, Su Zhaoning still admired it very much when he heard it.
Although the royal children and grandchildren enjoy much more blessings than ordinary people, they obviously have to put in much more effort than ordinary people.
One year old. Even Su Zhaoning herself, she was not sure that she could carry it as well as the eleventh prince back then.
Moreover, the other Ten Princes is only five years old. He had apparently completely memorized the five volumes and thirty-three chapters of "Kindergarten Qionglin".
Su Zhaoning looked down at Nan Minxing beside him.
Nan Minxing's gaze was also falling on the side of the Ten Princes and the Eleventh Prince.
Su Zhaoning looked at Nan Minxing's gaze, and he was not disappointed at all. She felt that Nan Minxing had done a good job. Although she admired the intelligence of the Ten Princes and the Eleventh Prince, she didn't think that what others could do, Wu'er should also be able to do.
My son did his best to grow up safely and healthily, and that was enough.
The pen of the Eighth Prince has been put down.
At the same time, the six princes also put down their pens.
The Fifth Prince, the Seventh Prince, and the Ninth Princes then also put down their pens.
At this time, the chrysanthemum cake in front of Su Zhaoning had completely turned into a chrysanthemum petal cake.
