Chapter 167: Roasted Sweet Potato
Sang Gu held potatoes and sweet potatoes and followed her suspiciously, "Sister-in-law, are you sure?
"Don't worry, it won't. Xiao Xuan dragged Sang Gu all the way to the small kitchen in the house.
The steward in the small kitchen saw that these two were coming, and hurriedly greeted them, "Sun Fu greets Miss Nine and Miss!"
Xiao Xuan waved his hand, pulled Sang Gu and walked in, motioned for her to put the things on the stove, turned to the steward and said, "Make these two things according to what I said." ”
The steward looked at the two round piles suspiciously, "Yes." Please command the Nine Girls!"
Xiao Xuan said a mashed potato and a roasted sweet potato, so he pulled Sang Gu to sit aside and waited, "I'll let you know what delicious it is in a while!"
Sanggu smiled and shook his head, this sister-in-law is very good, but sometimes she is like a child. She didn't expect her brother to be able to sincerely find a woman to live his life in this life.
The two of them chatted in the kitchen for half an hour, and the steward walked up to the two of them with two trays, "Talk back to the two girls, the things are ready." ”
Xiao Xuan motioned for him to put the tray on the table, reached out and lifted the lid, and suddenly the aroma was overflowing, reached out and picked up the spoon, took a spoonful of mashed potatoes and put it in his mouth, it was soft and delicious in his mouth, put down the spoon, picked up a roasted sweet potato, peeled it and ate it beautifully.
Sang Gu looked at her in shock, "Sister-in-law..."
After a while, half a plate of mashed potatoes and two roasted sweet potatoes were eaten, and Xiao Xuan patted his belly, "It's full." Sanggu, you can taste it too, look at me, there is nothing to do. ”
Sanggu picked up a roasted sweet potato suspiciously, took a small bite, it was sweet and very delicious, I really didn't expect this thing to be so delicious. After eating a sweet potato and a piece of mashed potatoes, he picked up a towel and wiped his mouth, "Sister-in-law, what do you call these two things? ”
"Let's go, send the rest to your brother and let him taste it. Xiao Xuan picked up the remaining two roasted sweet potatoes, asked Sang Gu to carry the mashed potatoes, and the two walked to the front flower hall.
After arriving, I asked the guards to find out that Bailidu had not returned from the morning court.
Xiao Xuan looked at Sang Gu and was a little disappointed, "Forget it, he doesn't have a mouthful, I'll accompany you to tear the flowers." ”
In the early summer, the capital is already very hot, and the palace is heavily guarded, with ten steps, one post, five steps, and one sentry, and the guards stand straight under the hot sun. Compared to the heat outside, the hall was quite cool. The courtiers on both sides looked at Gong Xianrong for a while, and Bailidu for a while. One of these two people represents the second prince and the other represents the crown prince. These two factions are now incompatible, but at this time, the emperor is still in a state of omission and has disappeared.
Bailidu stood beside the prince, dressed in blue, with a long jade body, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes were stained with a layer of frost, unfathomable, "Lord Rong, since the emperor's dragon body is against harmony, it should be supervised by the prince, wouldn't it be arrogant for you to act as the regent like this?"
"This king has the emperor's holy decree, how can it be an arrogance!" Gong Xianrong took out a bright scroll of holy decree from his bosom and said demonstratively, "Do you want to see it for yourself?"
Bailidu's plump lips were silently raised, and they quickly returned to their original positions, so fast that no one noticed his subtle changes, and his voice was still as cold as ice, "Since there is a holy decree, Ben Jiang will not be silent;
As soon as these words came out, the court was immediately silent, many people quietly took a few steps back, trying to reduce their sense of existence, some people who took refuge in Gong Xianrong some time ago, couldn't help wiping cold sweat, although Gong Xianrong is a prince, but this Baili general holds the power of the army, and some people want money and money, not they can offend! It's just that the emperor doesn't like the prince very much, and the mother concubine of the second prince is a favorite, plus Gong Xianrong's lobbying, he bet on Gong Jinfeng's body.
Gong Xianrong looked at the courtier's reaction and laughed angrily, "General Baili, this is a naked threat, aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame you?"
"The emperor has to blame and go to the court to blame, this has not seen the emperor for many days, how can he blame!" Bailidu's words were light and light, and the meaning of the words could not be clearer, where is the emperor now, you Gong Xianrong knows it well, and there is no need to scare people with the emperor and the holy decree. No one is scared!
Gong Jinting looked sideways at Bailidu, his plain face couldn't see a clue, and he really couldn't guess why he came suddenly. Did he find something?
Gong Xianrong was forced to say nothing, with a dark face, "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat from!"
Gong Jinting took a step forward and clenched his fists with both hands, "Uncle Huang, I want to see my father, I don't know if it's allowed?"
"The emperor's dragon body is not safe, and the imperial doctor ordered him to recuperate, and it is not suitable to see people. Gong Xianrong played with the holy decree in his hand, and the bright holy decree dangled around, as if to warn Gong Jinting that he was a genuine holy decree.
Gong Jinting retreated stupidly, turned his head and asked Bailidu for help, but who knows, as if he didn't see it, he couldn't help but snort softly, "Adu..."
Bailidu also ignored Gong Jinting, and said indifferently, "Since the prince of Rong said to retreat from the dynasty, then retreat!" The words fell, turned around and left, leaving the prince, Gong Xianrong and the courtiers of the palace here.
Gong Xianrong shook his hand angrily and said viciously, "He is simply too presumptuous!"
"Uncle Huang, you can't say that, didn't you already say that you would retire from the dynasty just now!" Gong Jinting really didn't expect Adu to just throw his hands away like this, it seems that he was still haunted by the last time he was drugged!
Gong Xianrong snorted heavily, and got up and left angrily. The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu watched these two ancestors leave, and they didn't dare to come out, so they looked at the prince with a brush;
Gong Jinting pressed the angle of his forehead, the emperor is now coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven, otherwise how dare he argue with Adu with his strength. Looking at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Gong Jinting waved his hand, "Hubu Shangshu stays, and the rest of the people are scattered." ”
"I don't know why the prince left Weichen?" "Hubu Shangshu looked at the prince carefully, could it be that the prince knew that the prince of Rong was looking for him some time ago?
"Gu received news some time ago that there was no harvest in the drought in Qingqi County. How much money is still available in the treasury that can be mobilized?" There were only these two people left in the empty hall, and Gong Jinting motioned for Li Jingfan to sit down and speak, "In addition, notify the county guard of Qingqi County to open a warehouse and release grain, and relieve the local people!"
"If you go back to the prince, there is not enough money in the treasury, if you provide disaster relief, I am afraid that you will not be able to pay the military salary on time, and Weichen is afraid that General Baili will have a whisper!" Li Jingfan pondered his little Jiujiu in his heart, and he couldn't refute the prince's face clearly.
I can't let the prince of Rong be dissatisfied with him, this official is really not good, "Prince, this year is the third year of drought in Qingqi County, and there are no grains in the granary, so please ask the prince to show you how to put grain!"
