The emperor sighed and continued: "Everyone in this world can be assassinated, but you can't, Aiqing, be even." ”

The old prince stood up with palpitations, and was about to persuade again, only to hear the head of the guard, Jin Ce, report, "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has found out the reason, wolves are mostly social animals, and they attach great importance to their cubs. If it is contaminated with people, the smell of wolf cubs will definitely make the wolves chase after them endlessly. ”

"The minister brought a new cloak and begged the holy to be robbed."

The emperor said without changing his face: "In this case, I will take off my coat and send it to the imperial doctor for examination." ”

The old prince immediately got up and waited for the emperor to undress, and the guards took the emperor's coat and turned over on the horse.

After Jin Ce left, the emperor sighed wistfully.

The old prince was also very worried at the moment, for fear that he would really find out the smell of the wolf cubs on the emperor, and wondered which prince would be related to this matter, and how would it end?

The two stood quietly at the water's edge, one with his hands behind his back, and the other with his hands down, quietly waiting for the truth to come.

The emperor asked suspiciously, "Is it true that I have done something wrong over the years?" ”

The old prince's heart jumped, hesitated, and said: "Don't think too much, don't think too much, think too much and hurt your spirit." ”

Soon Jin Cha went and returned, his resolute face covered with beads of sweat. The emperor raised his hand to exempt him, "Say it!" ”

Jin Ce didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly said, "Returning to the Holy Lord, the Imperial Doctor has indeed checked the smell of wild wolf cubs on your clothes. ”

"Good, good, that's great." The Emperor laughed angrily.

The old prince stood behind him, not daring to speak, Jin Ce knelt and kowtowed.

Everyone kneeling in the hunting ground also heard the news from the Tai Hospital.

The faces of the people were different, and the people of the two camps kept looking at each other, trying to find a trace of suspicion on their faces. The ladies kneeling in the back were already shaky at this time, and they all leaned on the maids beside them.

When he brought the emperor and his party back, there were sweaty courtiers in front of him, and a noble girl with a nervous expression in the back, he sighed and said: "This matter is entrusted to the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Chen Sheng, who is fully responsible."

"Before you go back to the palace, you must find out."

Chen Sheng hurriedly took two steps on his knees and said, "Weichen has the order." ”

"Let's disperse the rest of the people, and tomorrow everything will be business as usual."

"Yes"

"Wechen retired,"

"The retainers retired."

Everyone dispersed, Xia Qingqing and the old prince glanced at each other, the old prince's expression moved slightly, and he shook his head at her. Then he looked at the emperor and said in a low voice: "Holy Lord, the minister will help you go back." ”

"It's okay, then you and I can talk by candle and night today, and finish the last game of chess." The emperor's expression was indifferent.

Xia Qingqing strolled through the corridor, walked back to his boudoir, and whispered softly: "Regardless of his bustling Yangguan Road, our family wants a single-plank bridge to go dark." ”

"Okay, let's see the move, build a bridge when you meet the water, and cultivate the road in the mountains."

The third prince lay quietly in the room, and his cronies told him everything that had just happened.

Jiang Yubai was wearing a middle coat, only a white jade plum hairpin was inserted, which was used to fix his hair, a white brocade belt around his waist, lying on the bed, and said with a smile: "It's a shame that I think they can use what kind of ability, this is a trick, and the second child is not very clever." ”

"In the end, it is nothing more than to launch a few people to take the blame."

The cronies were puzzled and wondered: "Why does the lord think that the second prince sent someone to do it?" In full view of everyone, such an action is really not a good strategy. ”

The third prince continued to play with the warm jade in his hand and said, "There have always been people in the army who support the eldest prince. Wen Chen has long complained about this, this Autumn Hunting Palace is under the jurisdiction of the Military Department, and he has no light on his face when such a big problem is caused here. And the boss has always been clean and self-conscious, attaches the most importance to face, and can't tolerate others saying that he doesn't say a word. It can be seen that this matter was not his doing. ”

The cronies continued: "At that time, the literati also slashed the wild wolf with a sword, which can be said to have shown his face in front of the saint. ”

The cronies groaned: "This may also be a turmoil that they deliberately created in order to deepen the emperor's trust!"

As he spoke, he felt more and more reasonable, and said in a low voice: "Let the emperor be frightened without much damage." It is not impossible to find a few scapegoats to simply end the matter afterwards, and the literati will also be rewarded. ”

The third prince's eyes flashed, his eyes showed a fine light, he smiled gently, and said, "No matter what they do, this matter has nothing to do with me from beginning to end.

"I'll be sick tomorrow too."

The henchman said in a deep voice: "Yes, the minister understands."

"You go down first."

A good night's sleep, the next day.

When Xia Qingqing woke up, the old prince had already gone hunting with the emperor.

After she finished eating lunch and freshened up, she took Xiaoqing with two baskets in each hand, which contained all kinds of pastries.

Heading to the courtyard that had been set up long ago, several noble ladies dressed in regular clothes were sitting.

She had already thought about getting closer to the nobles, after all, she was still counting on waiting for the gold bracelets to come out, and using their names to promote them and earn a wave of celebrity effect!

She leaned over and said, "See Princess Duanshu, the second princess of Jinyang, the ninth princess, the Duchess of Qingguo, the second sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law, and the little girl has greeted several nobles." ”

"I've brought some new pastries for a few of you to taste."

Duchess Qingguo is also familiar with her family, and immediately stepped forward and touched her hand and said: "You see you are coming, and there are so many courtesies, hurry up and sit with us, I drank three cups of tea with several princesses, and I happened to be a little hungry, and I don't know when the emperor will come back." ”

The eldest princess's eyes were like autumn moon and cold stars, and she looked very similar to the emperor, and then said: "I have long heard that the county lord is beautiful and fragrant, and I couldn't talk to the county lord yesterday, but today I happen to have time. ”

Xia Qingqing smiled and said: "The princess invited but was disrespectful, then we will wait here for the emperor's good news." ”

The ninth princess was not yet ten years old, and it was when she was innocent, she was very delicate, with black and shiny hair, big eyes flashing on her white face, and when she spoke, the dimples on her mouth were full of smiles.

I saw her jump off the stool and run over, grabbed Xia Qingqing's hand and said, "I haven't had a chance to see my sister, what delicious food have you brought me?" ”

The eldest princess teased: "You want to see the county lord of Qingqing, obviously you are going for the pastry." ”

The Ninth Princess turned her head and grimaced at everyone.

Xia Qingqing touched her little brain melon lovingly and said: "There are several new styles of pastries, if you think it is delicious, I will tell you the method, and go back and let the next person do it!" ”

With a wave of his hand, Xiaolan, Xiaolu, and Xiaoqing immediately stepped forward and took out a stack of delicately styled pastries from the basket. Then he began to introduce: "This is the cloud cake that has been changed, this dish is called donkey rolling, the one close to the second princess is called plum blossom cake, jade belt cake, close to the ninth princess is Dingsheng cake, white fruit honey cake, and close to the Duchess and the fourth sister-in-law is jujube mud cake."

Each person was given a piece of pastry, "which was so delicately made that it cut each into small pieces." The second princess said.

After tasting it, the eldest princess approvingly: "This cloud cake is extraordinary after you have improved it, I always feel too tired of eating the cloud cake in the past, but I didn't expect this to be not sweet or greasy, there is a sweet milk fragrance."

Xia Qingqing cleared her throat and praised: "The eldest princess is really amazing, milk is added to this cloud cake, replacing the original goat's milk, and after removing the original slightly fishy taste, it becomes warm and long." ”

The second princess hurriedly asked in amazement, "How does the donkey roll do?" ”

Xia Qingqing smiled mildly and said, "This is the Northeast!" "Tsk, I missed my mouth!

She paused, and quickly changed her words: "It's a cold region in the north, because of the snow in winter, the people can eat less food, and they stay in the house every day, in order to coax children not to cry all day long, and make pastries. ”

It is made by adding soybean flour to rice flour, and in the final production process, soybean flour is sprinkled, just like a wild donkey in the suburbs, and the bursts of loess raised when the joy is rolling, so it is named donkey rolling. The bean paste is sweet and melts in your mouth. ”

She memorized this big sentence as if she were a book from the sky. Secretly exclaimed: It's so dangerous, it's almost exposed, at this time the Qixia Dynasty has not yet the northeast, and the capital where they live should be in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where the four seasons are like spring, and there is no heavy snow in winter. ”

The second princess said in surprise: "Hearing you say this, I really want to see the scenery of the northern country!" What kind of scene should it be when the sky is covered in snow and covered in snow in winter? ”

Xia Qingqing took a deep breath, I want to recommend pastries to you, not to arouse your interest in heavy snow!

As she spoke, the topic began to deviate, and she tried hard to pull the words back: "The winter over there is extremely cold, and you have to wear three layers inside and three layers outside, and you have to bring a felt hat and scarf before you can go out." In winter, the water turns into ice, and in fact, not many large families will go out in winter. ”

Thinking of the ice skating scene, his eyes lit up and he said, "Only children like to play on the ice in winter." ”

Hearing this, the Ninth Princess said with a look of pity: "Then we won't have a chance to meet." ”

The greatest mission of the princesses of all dynasties is nothing more than marriage.

There are few wealthy businessmen in the north, and even the ministers of the DPRK and the central government rarely have the northern region, so they will never see the spring of the north in their lives.

Xia Qingqing's heart sank, and he couldn't help but feel sad, and said in a circle: "There are a lot of things like ice in our ice warehouse, so it's better to pull out those ice and place them carefully in the open space, so that it can also be made into a simple ice rink." ”

"When I return to the capital, I will find an opportunity to make it, and then invite a few princesses to the palace."

The ninth princess happily clapped her palms and said. "Then let's say okay, you must invite me to your house when you go back."
