Xuanzong readily agreed: "I agree to hold a pig-killing banquet in the cold palace!"
The purpose of holding the pig-killing feast in Leng Palace was not only to promote the cultivation of longevity fruit, but also to add another meat dish to the tables of the people all over the world. It was also for her mother.
Finally achieving her wish, Li Sixu smiled happily: "I thank my father..."
Longevity nuts are a great way to drink wine!
Li Sixu dedicated a jar of the brewed calamus wine.
After eating a few cups of wine with longevity nuts, Xuanzong, who was slightly drunk, summoned Xu Cairen alone before leaving the cold palace.
When Li Sixu and Liang Dong finished frying the last basket of dried longevity fruits, they walked out of the oil shop in the warehouse and saw Xu Cairen sitting by the Lengong Creek, waiting for her.
Seeing that Xu Cairen looked like he had something to say, Li Sixu had no choice but to raise her hand to Liang Donggong: "Master Liang developed the frying machine and worked with Sisi all day long. Thank you for your hard work!"
"Princess is so kind. I would like to thank you for your hospitality!"
He was able to eat at the same table as the emperor of the day, and also tasted delicious lard vegetables with the emperor. What's more valuable is that he was also a participant and witness of longevity fruit fried oil.
Whether it was the development of the spring last time or the oil frying in the cold palace this time, he, a small minister of the Ministry of Industry, was able to face the emperor directly. These are all the contributions of the little princess.
Liang Dong felt that it was an honor to get to know the tenth princess.
In his heart, he already regarded Li Sixu as his noble person. Before he said goodbye and left, he specifically mentioned: "If the princess needs anything you need me to do, just ask someone to come to the Ministry of Works to pass the message."
"Okay, Sisi still has something to trouble adults about in the future!"
After seeing Liang Dong off, she saw Xu Cairen getting up from the creek and walking over. Li Sixu looked at her and smiled.
"Let Sisi guess, it's the father who is looking for Xu Empress, right?"
Li Sixu blinked at her: "Why, is Father going to take Lady Xu out of the cold palace?"
"Princess, please stop laughing at me. The princess knows it. I belong to the princess. Working with Yang Qing to take care of things for the princess is the happiest day for me. I don't want to leave the cold palace!"
"The emperor summoned the concubines and asked about the queen. The concubine truthfully reported to the emperor everything that happened after the queen was thrown into the cold palace."
Xu Cairen said in confusion: "It's just that when the emperor left the cold palace, he said something inexplicable to the concubine, saying that the concubine disrespected the empress."
"With all the conscience of heaven and earth, how can a concubine disrespect the empress?"
Xu Cairen felt aggrieved and felt that he had suffered a great injustice: "My young master knows that since the Queen came to Leng Palace, my concubines have always respected the Queen and accompanied her to work in the fields. In addition to taking care of the Leng Palace with Yang Qing, , I hang around the Queen all day long, for fear that she will be cold, hungry or tired."
"Concubine, why don't you respect your mother-in-law?"
Xu Cairen muttered: "The emperor's words really confused my concubine, so I dared to ask the princess, what did the emperor mean?"
What's the meaning?
When Xuanzong came to the frying shop, Xu Cairen hugged his mother and shouted that there was oil. There was also a scene where the queen was burning with black ash on her face. Xu Cairen took out a handkerchief to wipe her mother's face, and held her face carefully. See if it's wiped clean.
These two scenes flashed through Li Sixu's mind.
If she hadn't observed carefully, she would never have guessed what her father meant by these words.
Now that I figured it out, I couldn't help but laugh.
It turns out that all men in the world are the same, even if they are emperors and worry about gains and losses, they still have such a childish side.
When he said this to Xu Cairen, he was clearly telling her to stay away from my queen.
But Miss Xu is a woman after all.
So the words could not be said and turned into scolding her for being disrespectful to the queen.
In the harems of the Tang Dynasty, scenes of torturing wives and chasing them to the crematorium were also staged.
Thinking of what her father said without hesitation today, Li Sixu almost laughed out loud. She tried her best to hold back her laughter and comfort Xu Cairen.
"The calamus wine made by Sisi is a bit strong. My father must have drank a few more cups and was a little drunk, so he said only drunken words. Don't take it to heart, my queen."
Li Sixu suppressed her laughter and said seriously: "My father blames Empress Xu for not respecting my mother. From now on, Empress Xu should get closer to her mother. My father actually wants us to take more care of our mother."
"I see!"
Xu Cairen felt relieved, but felt something was wrong.
Think about it carefully, right?
There is nothing wrong with what the princess said!
She nodded: "Well, the concubine originally liked the empress. As a queen, the concubine couldn't reach her before!"
"After the empress was thrown into the cold palace, and the concubines stayed with her every day, I realized that the empress was better than the rumors in the harem."
Xu Cairen said solemnly: "From now on, I will just treat the empress well!"
"Queen Mother has been praising Madam Xu in Sisi's ears recently. It's right for Madam Xu to think so. Madam Xu is really a beautiful person with a kind heart."
Feeling sorry for being praised by Li Sixu, Xu Cairen happily helped Queen Wang to work in the fields. Li Sixu had a hard time holding back her laughter. As soon as she walked out of the cold palace, she couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.
Smiling and laughing, something feels wrong!
There seemed to be a puzzled gaze falling on her.
Li Sixu raised her head and saw Li Linhuai coming out from behind the big tree beside the palace wall.
Li Linhuai looked helpless and doting when he saw her laughing so hard that she couldn't stand upright.
"I guess the princess must be playing tricks on others again?"
"It's not even about teasing. Life in the cold palace is so boring. Sisi just teaches Lady Xu to have fun in hardship."
Being caught doing bad things, Li Sixu was a little embarrassed: "Why are you here, sir?"
Li Linhuai, who knew the princess well, silently sympathized with Xu Caishu. He greeted Li Sixu: "I heard that the princess invited my father to eat fried pork with garlic sprouts and longevity fruit in the cold palace. I came to thank the princess."
"Aren't you too polite, sir?"
Li Sixu explained: "Actually, it was not Sisi who specially invited General Zuo Yulin to eat pork dishes. Speaking of which, it was a mistake. It was my fourth brother who was lying on the wall of the cold palace watching Concubine De, and was caught by his father. It just happened to alert General Zuo Yulin who was on patrol..."
Li Linhuai was always willing to listen to her chattering like a little sparrow, but surprisingly, this time, before she could finish the matter, Li Linhuai mentioned it again without changing his expression.
"Eunuch Yang also sent someone to Zuo Qingdao to tell me that he ate the leek dumplings made by the princess in the cold palace and drank them with fragrant longevity nuts."
Li Sixu finally heard that something was wrong, but she still pretended to be stupid: "It turns out that my father-in-law, who is decisive and decisive in killing, also has such a gossipy side. He is really getting more and more cute."
Li Linhuai turned his head and asked, "What is gossip?"
Li Sixu was still racking her brains, thinking about how to explain these two words.
Li Linhuai suddenly cleared his throat: "Ahem, I heard that Dr. Wang also had a feast in the cold palace and drank the calamus wine brewed by the princess."
