Chapter 244: Familiarity
After Zhao Da left here, Fang Chenqi sent the strawberries into the palace.
As the emperor's son, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he is very familiar with every grass and tree here, but since he was allowed to move out of the palace, he had to hand over the waist card before entering and leaving the palace.
The time when Fang Chen entered the palace coincided with the time after dinner in the palace.
The current emperor is well-maintained, and he looks like he is in his early forties, his body is long and thin, and his face looks very serious when he does not speak.
At this hour, when he saw his sixth son, the emperor's eyebrows softened suddenly, "Why don't you come over earlier, and you can have dinner with me."
After Fang Chenqi finished his salute, he sat opposite his father and drank a cup of tea before he said slowly, "Aren't you afraid that you will come too often and dislike you?"
"Huh! You kid has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. Tell me, what is the reason for entering the palace so late?"
His own father and son sometimes can't understand his six sons, that kind of heart, saying that he is free and free and detached, but among the dozen brothers, he is the most pragmatic, and sometimes even a little more serious, admitting death.
The most outrageous thing I have done since I was a child is to go out of the palace and open a house alone. The eldest and the second are many years older, and they became relatives and adults in the early years, and it is not suitable to live in the palace again, so the brothers moved out together.
Three, four, five, these small points, although they are not married, and the ones who are next to each other are seventeen or eighteen, and they have opened a mansion alone.
This sixth brother is two or three years younger than his fifth brother, and he also said that it will be two years later, and when the little brother at the bottom grows up, he can still take advantage of the ranking and choose the best mansion.
Who would have expected that he would have a gentle and good temper, not to say that he was partial to his imperial father. Otherwise, how can I go back and be separated from his brothers above, and I have to move out with my brothers.
To say that this good-tempered person has been stubborn since he was a child, and he is not a bear child who beats a child, and the fact that he opened the government two years earlier is not a violation of the system and a maverick, it really makes people laugh and feel distressed.
After taking the real benefits, Fang Chenqi didn't care about what he muttered to him in his heart.
His father and emperor did not have many brothers, and his grandfather was not in good health, so he gave his father the title of crown prince early, and the two imperial uncles also divided the house early.
There are more than a dozen brothers of his generation, plus those who are young and have not grown up. Staying in the palace, under the nose of his father, although he can refute a little more attention, he can be controlled by others.
It's much more comfortable outside the palace.
Fang Chenqi had no intention of going around in circles, and directly explained his intentions, "Do you remember the Li family's greenhouse?"
Yongfeng Bo Li family? "The one made of glass?"
Well, that's it.
"I heard that there are a lot of vegetables growing in it. What's the matter, you came into the palace to help deliver food?"
The last few times his six sons entered the palace were for the Li family's affairs, and Fang Shizong deliberately ridiculed him.
It stands to reason that there are hot springs in the Huangzhuang, and there are also those who have flexible brains, so they have found farmers to grow a few small vegetables for the nobles in the palace to eat, and there is no shortage of fresh vegetables in the palace in winter.
But because the royal population is large, in order to show the emperor's grace, how much is left to reward this family and that family?
The Li family gave it differently, there was no reason to reward people with the minister's things, and they could eat it themselves.
The emperor's little abacus crackled.
Fang Chenqi asked people to bring in the big basket of strawberries, and when they were cleaned, they would be plated in person, "I heard that this was originally a wild fruit, which can be seen everywhere in the mountains. The children in the village often eat this as a wild fruit. The youngest girl in the Li family, who followed Master Li, also likes to fiddle with crops and fruit trees, so she brought that wild strawberry home, I heard that it was grafted with something? Not to mention that the fruit has become bigger, the taste is better. When the Li family came to the capital, they brought a few pots over by the way, and then they thought of getting a greenhouse to plant this ......
Fang Shizong twisted a fruit, and a personal eunuch stepped forward, "Your Majesty, ......"
Fang Shizong waved his hand, threw the strawberry directly into his mouth, wiped his hands clean, and said, "The charcoal fire keeps warm, and I can't help but have a dry mouth...... Pick more, send some to the Queen Mother and the Queen, huh...... And Concubine Ning! Let them try it too
Son."
Concubine Ning is Fang Chenqi's biological mother, and Fang Chenqi doesn't care about who his father gives strawberries to. There is him in his mother's concubine left and right, and he left a small basket in advance, which should be delivered.
Fang Shizong turned his head and told his sixth son, "Sixth, how much has the Li family planted this thing?" I don't know if I can grow a hot spring over there in Huangzhuang?"
Fang Chenqi, "This is the first crop of fruit, and when it was sent to my house, I sent it to me. Hurry up early tomorrow and go to Li's house again to see it. Earlier, when the weather was still warm, you could still see potted strawberries in Li's house. I just don't know, can we still transplant at this time?"
"Have you seen potted strawberries at the Li family earlier?" Why didn't you think about getting two pots and sending them to the palace?
Fang Chenqi saw his father's thoughts, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Just a few pots, people keep snacks to coax children, the girl doesn't say to give him, can he still grab it?
"At that time, Erchen didn't know what that thing was or whether it could be eaten."
He heard the girl Li mention it, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
Fang Chenqi is not lying, the Li family has built the conservatory, and Mrs. Li sprinkled vegetable seeds into it. He estimated that the girl, if it weren't for the fact that they had a lot of glass at home, they were worried that they would be too showy, and they were afraid of being talked about, and they probably wouldn't have thought of asking him to send strawberries to the palace.
In this way, it can be regarded as passing through the clear road, and at present, glass is in short supply, and no one will talk about their household glass cover greenhouse.
The key in the palace was about to fall when the hour came, Fang Chenqi refused his emperor's father's idea to let him stay overnight, and returned to the mansion until late at night, and arrived at Li's house early the next morning.
Li Changshan had already received Li Qiusui's letter and waited at the door early.
These days are the time when the strawberries are ripe, and many strawberries are ripe every other night. A guest came to the door, Xia He's palm beads were inconvenient to come over, and Zhou Ping's family led a few servants to pick.
Fang Chenqi has Li Changshan over there, and Li Qiusui doesn't plan to go over, she is opening her master's letter in her own study.
The old man is coming to the capital, this is cold and snowy, why can't Li Qiusui come over earlier? There are also a few senior brothers who stayed in the capital, and they kept talking about visiting, and the busyness here and there has been delayed.
The old man came over and said that he was going to jump to his feet in anger. Li Qiusui rubbed his chin, why don't you go and visit one by one today? Just send some strawberries to the senior brothers to try.
Just do it, call Zhao Da, in addition to strawberries, and specially prepare four kinds of gifts, and the master and servant went out.
Fang Chenqi left lunch at Li's house, and he didn't see Li Qiusui's master and servant come back before leaving.
Li Changshan sent the guests away, frowning all the time.
Chu Shi was puzzled, "What's wrong? Did the Sixth Highness say something?"
