Chapter 37: The Shield
"I'll make you another one with osmanthus flavor!"
Xiao Zhengtai poured water on the plate, put some caramel in it, and ran to the tree to pick a few fresh osmanthus petals.
Sprinkle a handful of saltpeter into it, and the syrup osmanthus flavored popsicle is ready!
"Wow! It's so beautiful! ”
Looking at the crystal clear popsicles mixed with flower petals, Wang Wan's eyes straightened.
After all, she is still a little girl, and she can't walk when she sees beautiful and delicious things.
"Feiyu, how did you do that?"
Ying Yin Yan licked the popsicle in her hand and asked curiously.
"It's called saltpeter powder, and if you sprinkle it in water, it will make the water freeze, and then add the flavor you like, and it will become a delicious popsicle!"
Xiao Zhengtai pointed to a small packet of powder and explained.
"I see, the emperor's brother is so smart!"
Ying Yinyan looked delighted.
Once you learn how to make popsicles, you will be able to eat ice every day to cool off!
"I still want it!"
A popsicle Wang Wan had already eaten after a while, licking her lips like Xiao Zhengtai asking for it.
This scene can't help but make Xiao Zhengtai want to be in trouble.
"Hurry up and make me another one!"
"Although popsicles are cool and relieve the heat, you can't eat too much, and if you eat too much, you will have diarrhea!"
Xiao Zhengtai rolled his eyes.
“……”
Wang Wan also felt that she was a little out of shape, and couldn't help but be embarrassed.
The daughter of the dignified Marquis of Wu, how can she be like a wild girl who has never seen the world, she eats delicious food when she sees it, and asks for it after eating, it's so unruly!
"It's all your fault!"
How can a brutal little girl admit her mistake?
With a roll of his eyes, he rightly accused Xiao Zhengtai!
"What? Blame me? ”
"Kindly made you popsicles to relieve the heat, and you even blamed me?"
Ying Feiyu rolled his eyes.
"Of course I blame you, if it weren't for your insulting words, how could I chase you? If I hadn't chased you, I wouldn't have been hot and I wouldn't have eaten so much ice! ”
Wang Wan made a perfect excuse for her faux pas.
Xiao Zhengtai is helpless.
Really!
It's unreasonable to talk to women!
"Now that the summer heat has been resolved, is it still better?"
"Than! Of course it's better than that! ”
Even though she already knew that her speed was not at the same level as this kid, for the sake of face, Wang Wan still made a fist-clenching action.
"Come on!"
Xiao Zhengtai swooped and flew to a hundred meters away, and Wang Wan followed behind with a snort.
But no matter how hard you try, you can't even catch the corners of Xiao Zhengtai's clothes, so you can only make an appointment to fight again another day!
As soon as Wang Wan left, the little eunuch Mingde came to find Xiao Zhengtai, saying that the iron pot had been made and sent to the palace.
"What iron pot?"
"It's just a kind of kitchenware, if the beautiful sister is interested, you can go and see it together!"
Xiao Zhengtai beckoned to Ying Yin.
Due to the backwardness of iron smelting technology and the difficulty of mining mineral deposits, the application of iron tools in this era is not very widespread!
It was not until the Han Dynasty that the prototype of the iron pot appeared!
Whatever you say today, you have to open the eyes of Yingzheng's old man, and maybe you can get some rewards!
"Yes, yes!"
Ying Yinyan clapped her hands like a curious baby.
"Is there all the ingredients ready in the imperial dining room?"
"Back to the little boy, it's ready!"
"You go to the imperial brother and call the imperial brother too!"
"Yes!"
Fusu is the most impressive after Xiao Zhengtai entered the palace, and since he wants to show his cooking skills today, he naturally has to bring it with him!
This kid is really miserable enough in history, Hu Hai faked a holy decree, and this kid committed suicide directly.
It can be seen that his personality has multiple axes!
It is precisely this kind of character that Xiao Zhengtai likes it very much!
Like Hu Hai, who is exquisite, he is the last person to see when he sees the wind and rudder!
……
In Xianyang City, in a very hidden teahouse, Li Si, Zhao Cheng, Feng Zheng and other ministers of the court and China gathered together, holding a tea cup with a solemn face.
Normally, ministers cannot get together without a reason, lest His Majesty know and become suspicious.
But there is no way, the incident of the early dynasty today is too shocking, and it concerns each and every one of them, that's why they are here!
"You say, is this little boy His Majesty's bloodline? Why is it so weird? None of the things we've ever heard before? ”
After taking a sip of hot tea, Imperial Doctor Feng Zheng asked in a heavy tone.
"The little boy was brought back from His Majesty's Eastern Tour, and I didn't accompany him, who knows what happened?"
Li Si has always had doubts about this matter.
If it's just an ordinary child, one more is not more, and one less is not less!
But this kid came up with a lot of unbelievable things and put forward a lot of appalling opinions!
Especially today, a retirement system is proposed.
According to his opinion, the ministers in the teahouse will retire today!
Even if the imperial court continues to distribute the money, who is really just for the meager money?
"Your Majesty went on a tour of the east, and for no reason said that my brother and his son Hu Hai rebelled and killed him, but who saw it? Who can testify? If you can't keep it, your majesty will look at your brother unpleasantly and find an excuse to eradicate it! ”
Lang Zhong ordered Zhao Cheng to clench the teacup and said with resentment in his eyes.
He is Zhao Gao's younger brother, and it is precisely because of Zhao Gao's power that he can become this Zhonglang Ling!
Now that the backer is gone, it is unknown how long he can be a Zhonglang Ling!
"That's right, I have to see, that kid is a shield found by His Majesty, and he will eradicate us through his mouth!"
General Li Xin also agreed with him.
There really is no better explanation!
"General Li, you can't talk nonsense, you're going to lose your head!"
Li Si hurriedly stopped it.
Although they all have such conjectures at this time now, they can't say it easily!
This is a great sin of disrespect!
"Prime Minister, then tell me, what's going on with that kid? There was no news at all before, and suddenly it popped up, and the retirement system was proposed? Could it be that we have fought for Daqin all our lives, and we have to get out of here when we are old? ”
"I can't say that, after all, Your Majesty hasn't agreed yet!"
Li Si frowned.
He can't see through this either!
"I didn't agree now, but it doesn't mean that I won't agree in the future, according to my opinion, today is that Your Majesty and the little boy have discussed and are testing us!"
"Yes, I agree with this statement, it is estimated that Your Majesty wants to see our reaction today, and then decide whether to implement this policy or not!"
Zhao Cheng and Li Xin insisted that these things were done by Yingzheng.
"It's too early to say all this, I have already arranged for people around Your Majesty and the little prince, so that they can pay attention to the movements in the palace and report to us as soon as there is news!"
Li Si has a calm personality, and he will not even say a wrong word until there is definite news.
Unlike Zhao Cheng and Li Xin, who have well-developed limbs and simple minds, they say that they are ghosts made by His Majesty at every turn, and once the partition wall has ears, they don't need His Majesty's design to eradicate them.
Today's one alone is enough for them to drink a pot!
