Chapter Seventy-Seven: Shaking on All Sides
Xiao Chenghan looked at the bowl with a bright red color, and the oily pieces of meat were picked up with chopsticks and put into his mouth. The meat is sweet and fluffy, and melts in your mouth. The mouth is full of fragrance but not greasy at all.
Xiao Chenghan's eyes lit up after tasting the braised pork, "Well, this braised pork is really good." ”
Han Li smiled when he saw His Majesty eating, "Your Majesty, this meat is filled with a homemade seasoning called soy sauce made by Doctor Chu, so the braised pork made is so delicious." ”
Han Li served another bowl of pork ribs and radish soup, "Your Majesty, you can taste this pork rib soup." ”
Xiao Chenghan took a sip of pork rib soup, and his eyes brightened, "Well, this pork rib soup is also delicious." The fragrance moistens the throat, and everyone feels refreshed when you drink it. ”
Han Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's all because of this radish in it. It is said that this Dr. Chu has a set of farming, and this kind of thing is very delicious. No wonder Prince Jing sent someone to send it to you. ”
Xiao Chenghan ate steamed dumplings and cold shredded radish again.
In the end, he didn't even eat any other meals, but ate a lot of them.
After eating and drinking, Xiao Chenghan felt that he had eaten too much today, but he was very satisfied, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and said: "The vegetables and vegetables sent by the Jingwang Mansion should be kept, except for Concubine Shu, don't give them to others." ”
Han Li knew at a glance that His Majesty was happy.
Xiao Chenghan pointed to the food on the table and said, "Don't waste this steamed dumplings and pork rib soup, braised pork and other dishes, you can also taste them." ”
As soon as Han Li heard that His Majesty was appreciating the meal, he hurriedly thanked him. Although His Majesty has eaten it, it is also a great grace.
After Han Li went down, he tasted a few dishes and didn't want to waste a little bit, he ate them all, it was really delicious. Especially the steamed dumplings and pork rib soup, which are so delicious that you almost swallow your tongue.
And he felt that after eating this meal, his body was warmer and much lighter.
Han Li was a person who had seen a lot of good things, and now he didn't dare to underestimate these things sent by the Jing Palace. It must be unusual for King Jing to send someone to send something like this.
He's seen it firsthand. The food sent by King Jing's Mansion has to be kept for His Majesty.
The next day, Han Li took someone to send the festival gifts from King Jing's Mansion to Yongning Palace. Concubine Yan Bihua looked at the things sent by Han Li and said that it was a festival gift from King Jing's Mansion.
Yan Bihua looked at the things and pursed her lips, very disdainful in her heart. In addition to the two heads and faces sent by King Jing's mansion, some furs and fabrics are not bad, she can't look down on the others. Jingwangfu even sent her vegetables, she lacked a little bit of broken radish and cabbage to eat? This fourth child is really getting more and more distracted by her.
Han Li looked at Concubine Shu's expression and lowered his head without showing anything. I thought that this concubine really didn't know the goods.
As soon as Han Li left, Yan Bihua ordered someone to send those vegetables to the big kitchen where the palace people cooked, so that she wouldn't eat these broken radishes and cabbage.
Han Li returned to the Zichen Hall and Xiao Chenghan asked, "Something was sent to Concubine Shu?" Do you like it? ”
Han Li bowed and replied, "Concubine Shu has accepted all the things, and she is quite satisfied with the jewelry, fur, and fabric, but I sent those vegetables sent by Prince Jing to the big kitchen where the palace people ate." ”
Xiao Chenghan's face sank when he heard this, "The fourth child thinks about her when he has good things, but she doesn't appreciate it, and she spoils the good things that the fourth child gave." Since Concubine Shu doesn't want it, you go and ask people to get those dishes back. I kept it for myself. Hmph, I really don't know the goods. ”
Han Li didn't dare to say more, and immediately let people do it. Seriously, Han Li wasn't willing to give those vegetables to others. He was also fortunate to get a share of the food cooked for His Majesty by the cook of King Jing's Mansion this morning, which was really delicious.
He found that His Majesty's appetite was much better and his spirit was also better. Lady Niangniang doesn't want those dishes better.
Xiao Chenghan was still thinking about last night's and morning's meals, so he instructed Han Li to let the cooks from King Jing's Mansion continue to cook, and let the other cooks cook a few more dishes.
Xiao Chenghan is not an extravagant person, he advocates frugality, and his meals are usually eight dishes, and he will add a few more dishes when he encounters festivals. This meal, the dishes made by the chef sent by the Jingwang Mansion took up four dishes.
This chef has learned cooking skills with Jingyi, and can cook a lot of dishes, although not as good as Jingyi, but compared to other cooks, it is already very good. And with the soy sauce sent by King Jing's Mansion, the dishes made are really delicious.
There is not much soy sauce sent by King Jing's mansion, which is specially reserved for the emperor to cook, and other people can't eat it.
After Han Li sent someone to take away the dishes sent by Concubine Shu, the Yongning Palace side quickly learned the news.
Yan Bihua listened to the reports of the people below, and her heart sank. The emperor must have been dissatisfied with her behavior. And the emperor attaches so much importance to those vegetables, it must be that those dishes are not ordinary.
Yan Bihua regretted her previous actions a little at this time, but now it is too late to regret it.
And all the forces outside the palace also knew about the fact that the Jingwang Mansion specially sent a cook to the emperor. It is said that the emperor liked the cook's food very much. The news caused shocks on all sides.
Xiao Yitai was furious when he heard this, "Hmph, the fourth child has even learned to flatter and slap horses." He still has the heart to send a cook to his father, and it seems that he can't die for the time being. ”
Xiao Yitai said to Wu Youqing: "You must insert someone into King Jing's mansion, I want to know the situation of King Jing clearly." It can't be like there is no news at all. ”
Wu Youqing said with some embarrassment: "Lord, the Jingwang Mansion is now heavily guarded, and outsiders can't enter at all." Even if you want to buy the people in King Jing's mansion, you can't do it.
Moreover, the Jingwang Mansion has cleared out the spies in Huizhou Mansion, not only can we not get the news, but even others will not get the news inside the Jingwang Mansion. ”
Xiao Yitai grabbed the teacup next to him and fell to the ground, "Waste, it's all a bunch of waste." Is there any news about the person who went to investigate the person Feng Zhi brought into the Jingwang Mansion? ”
Wu Youqing bowed lower, "The person who went to investigate has never returned, it is estimated that something happened." ”
Xiao Yitai's eyes became very ruthless when he heard this, "That person must be very important, continue to check for me, and I must find out who he is." The fourth child is still not dead, he must have found someone who can heal him. The fourth child must not be allowed to recover. ”
Not only Xiao Yitai, but he was very annoyed when he got the news that Xiao Yilin sent a cook to the emperor. The second prince, King Kang, Xiao Yimao, was not calm.
Xiao Yimao thinks that he is no worse than any prince, and of course he cannot lag behind in the competition for the throne.
At the beginning, everyone thought that Xiao Yilin had great achievements and outstanding achievements, and was the strongest opponent in the fight for the throne.
The princes seem to have reached a consensus invisibly, that is, to get rid of this strongest opponent first. Therefore, with everyone's intentional or unintentional cooperation, Xiao Yilin was plotted and almost lost his life, and became a sick man who was powerless. Although still alive, he was also disqualified from competing for the throne.
