Jiang Wang thought about it for a long time and then said: "It's wonderful!"
Jiang Wuhua intended to narrow the distance between the two through their common interest in cooking, so he smiled and said: "These preserved eggs are made from snow bamboo chicken eggs, the meat is pearl pigeon, and the rice is small magnolia. I am Among thousands of ingredients, these three were selected as the most suitable combination. It must be boiled in an agarwood pot and served in a sapphire bowl to retain the original flavor. It is best to burn Jiaolan pine and simmer for three hours. A moment more, and not a moment less.”
There was a bit of pride in his smile, and he seemed quite confident in his cooking skills.
Jiang Wang was indeed attracted by the delicious taste of this bowl of porridge, but when he heard these words, the first thought in his mind was, is the dignified prince so free?
A small bowl of porridge, from the ingredients to the pot and bowl, to the heat, and even the firewood, is time-consuming and labor-intensive. So where can the prince find time to practice? Where can I find time to study politics?
It is said that "ruling a big country is like cooking small dishes", but it doesn't mean that you can just find a cook to run a country!
But what happened to the prince, it was not his turn to say. The expression on his face naturally said: "Your Highness is really a thoughtful person. But this porridge made me secretly learn it."
"It's easy to say that the Snow Bamboo Chicken, Pearl Pig, and Magnolia are all unique to the East Palace. Qingyangzi can bring a portion with him when he goes back later." Jiang Wuhua smiled happily, raised his hand and said: "If you want to eat, please have porridge first. "
So we started to enjoy breakfast in Changle Palace.
Jiang Wang was not polite and drank two bowls in a row. At the same time, he silently remembered Jiang Wuhua's recipe, thinking that he would make An An a bowl of it when he had time in the future.
Seeing that Jiang Wang had no intention of adding another bowl, the prince also put down the sapphire bowl and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.
The accompanying eunuch quietly removed the food plate, and someone else offered him tea.
As the faint fragrance floated, the prince smiled and said: "I have always known that Jiang Qingyang loves to go to brothels..."
Jiang Wangcha almost squirted out as soon as he took his mouthful.
Then I heard the prince continue: "...Taste the fragrant tea. My tobacco-containing tea is not inferior to the Bayin tea."
You are out of breath when you talk, is that intentional?
But I have to say that this hint of narrow-mindedness revealed by the prince made him more approachable.
"Good tea, good tea." Jiang Wang agreed awkwardly, but in fact he didn't taste the smokey tea at all.
The prince suppressed his smile, and the atmosphere instantly became much more straightened. He looked at Jiang Wang: "How much does Qingyangzi know about official ethics?"
Here comes the topic.
Jiang Wang said truthfully: "I don't know much."
He has worn the Qingyang Seal, which is indeed beneficial to his practice, but not too much. In terms of pure practice progress, the time spent on governing the place is not as effective as dedicating oneself to practice.
In addition, he has also seen the Lord's Seal of Jiacheng City and understands a little about the relationship between people's hearts and the city's seal. But about the others, not much is really known.
He was born in the small town of Zhuang State, which was no secret to the senior officials of Qi State.
Therefore, the prince was not surprised and only said slowly: "Those who are official and Taoist combine law and Confucianism to establish soldiers and introduce ink... Hundreds of schools of thought are mixed together, and the national system is the same. There have been pioneering works in ancient times, but to truly flourish and become popular in the world, it is still After the new beginning of Tao Li."
Jiang Wang was still very interested in these old historical news submerged in time, and listened carefully.
“Let’s not talk about these histories.”
I don't know if he saw Jiang Wang's interested look and was teasing him intentionally. The prince immediately changed the topic and looked at him meaningfully: "You have a false title now. I guess you don't have a deep feeling about officialdom."
A third-grade golden melon warrior is of course extremely weak.
Being a fourth-grade green brand head catcher is actually considered a real job, but Lord Jiang also has a background in the Inspection Office of the Capital City. The Inspection Office almost never arranges anything for him. Jiang himself also has a headache when it comes to investigating crimes and arresting murderers. Very rarely, so he performs very little work.
After all, he joined the Qingpai system on a temporary basis from the beginning, and he did not regard Qingpai as his career.
Therefore, it is not wrong for the prince to say that all his titles are empty.
But because of the other party's status as the crown prince of a country, Jiang Wang was inevitably a little embarrassed about getting caught. In particular, his salary is as per the standard and has never been less than a cent.
"Ah haha, before I was focused on striving for the top spot and busy practicing..." He quickly explained, saying that he was also fighting for national honor, and then said with a smile: "It's really not that profound."
The prince's smile was very warm: "Actually, before the outer building, the official way was not very beneficial to the practice. Especially Qingyangzi is such a talented person, he doesn't need the help of the official way."
Jiang Wang understood the meaning: "Is it different behind the outer building?"
"The most feared thing when exploring the starry sky and erecting a star tower is getting lost. The soul wanders outside the sky and never sees the return date. This is actually similar to the soaring dragon entering the inner palace. The soaring dragon realm must clear away the fog of ignorance before it can find the inner palace. The soul is wandering in the sky, and it needs to penetrate the ignorance between heaven and earth in order to find the true way."
Jiang Wuhua talked eloquently and explained the matters of spiritual practice very clearly: "There is a tower outside the sky, like a probe in the sea, hard to find and hard to return. A cultivator's thoughts are like a line between heaven and earth. And the official way can be connected by 'popularity' , the thoughts of one person are naturally different from the thoughts of thousands of people. The official way is to help cultivators anchor the present world. Of course, you are the number one inner palace in the world, and the light of supernatural power illuminates the five palaces. It’s not easy to get lost in the dazzling starry sky.”
No one has ever told Jiang Wang these things.
At this time, I really felt like I suddenly realized something.
In ancient times, one could not build an outer building without supernatural powers. It must have been an extremely difficult step to penetrate the ignorance of the world.
The sages who came first explored the Four Spirits Star Territory, each taught his own way, and helped those who came after him to build buildings. Later, a national system was established, with help such as official channels, to help get rid of the misfortune of being lost in the world.
There are more and more monks in Fangyouwailou, and the human race is getting stronger and stronger.
"It can be said that Guandao was originally created to help those with insufficient talent to practice." Jiang Wuhua smiled self-deprecatingly.
As if to say, he is one of those people with insufficient talent.
For those who live outside the building without supernatural powers, this is the prince in front of them.
But Jiang Wang did not dare to underestimate him at all.
Many people say that the prince just takes advantage of his age, but what kind of hero is the current Emperor Qi? How can he sit in the East Palace if he is just an older man?
Then there is no need to have the Ninth Prince or the Eleventh Prince as competitors. After the third princess, the fourth and fifth are the youngest.
But in fact, those two people, Jiang Wang and others who had not been in Qidi recently, didn't even know their names, whether they were princes or princesses. As an emperor, he is unknown and even dimmer than the fourteenth prince Jiang Wuyong.
Furthermore, Jiang Wang has come into contact with all three of them, Jiang Wuyou, Jiang Wuxie, and Jiang Wuqi. It can be said that they are all outstanding, and all of them are dazzling.
Jiang Wuhua was able to secure his position in the East Palace despite their impact, how could he be so bad?
For now, to be able to explain the matters of cultivation so thoroughly, this prince's strength is by no means simple!
"The road to spiritual practice is long, and the outer building is only one step." Jiang Wang said seriously: "If you haven't reached the highest point, who knows who is higher?"
Jiang Wuhua was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "What a 'I haven't reached the highest place yet, who knows who is higher'! The one who knows me is Jiang Qingyang!"
Jiang Wang:......
This prince is good at everything, except for one thing: he always draws you to his side without even realizing it with a few words. A person who shares the same ideals, a confidant in life. Just looking at this scene, who would know that this is the first time that Jiang Wang comes to visit?
I am just explaining my personal practice philosophy. What do I know about you? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Jiang Wang only smiled lightly and said nothing.
Jiang Wuhua didn't feel embarrassed either.
He put his hands on his knees and leaned forward slightly: "Did you know——"
He asked: "The Holy Emperor's cultivation reaches the heavens, and he has great power in the world. He has an extraordinary lifespan. Why does he need to establish a heir apparent?"
