In these days, people had the habit of adding salt to tea, especially Empress Xiao. Even though Li Po was used to drinking salty tea, he still frowned when he drank it.
He has always been particular about what he eats. It would be fine if the tea is salty. Drinking it a few times is not bad. But if it is so salty, does your family want to open a salt shop?
Is this intentional? Li Po looked at Xiao Hou and remembered the plaque in front of the door. He couldn't help but quickly put down the tea bowl. It would be okay to put more salt in it, but it would be bad if there were other messy things in it.
Of course, it is impossible. If the things that can enter his mouth now have not been tried by three or four eunuchs beforehand, how can they get in front of him?
Seeing the emperor's slightly troubled look, Empress Xiao felt a little calmer. Tea is a soup that goes well with food, and adding more salt is what it should be...
Once Li Po felt something was wrong over there, that was all. How could he fool me with the food in his mouth? He immediately started to complain, "Your Majesty, your hospitality is too poor. When the weather is freezing, why don't you prepare some ginger soup?"
Is it easy to entertain people? Also, it’s the season of mutton soup, so it’s good to prepare some.”
Empress Xiao finally couldn't help but chuckle, and after talking to this person for a few words, her mood gradually became happy. Speaking of which, the two of them had only met a few times. To avoid criticism from outsiders, there was always someone to tell the news.
There is also a tacit understanding between them.
When we met today, there was not much unfamiliarity in the conversation. It was like a gathering of friends. The atmosphere was very relaxed, which made her feel quite comfortable.
Little did she know that the man in front of her was always pleasing to others. As long as there was no conflict of interest, he would always make you feel that it was very worthwhile to have him as your friend.
But she knew that the emperor loved delicious food.
"The Supreme Being comes here casually, and there is nothing good to entertain the noble person in such a hurry..." he said while waving his hand to indicate.
The female officer standing by the side called softly, and soon someone came in with a soup basin from outside. Empress Xiao poured a bowl for Li Po.
It turned out that he had been prepared, and Li Po was quite satisfied. This treatment was much better than the treatment at Old Man He's house, and women were more attentive.
He lowered his head and looked at the small white jade bowl. The soup inside was as white as water, and with his small white hands, Li Po's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
Li Po quickly retracted his hand, and Li Po couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Looking at the still steaming soup, he was a little confused, couldn't it be boiled water?
Picking up the spoon and gently stirring it, little bits of silver light were reflected inside, like thousands of silver threads floating in it, such exquisite knife work.
A spoonful of it enters the mouth, and the salty aroma is a little sweet. After another aftertaste, there is still a faint fragrance lingering in the mouth, which has not dissipated for a long time.
The taste is very good, especially women and children will definitely like it very much. Li Po couldn't help but admire it. Sure enough, he still had to come out for a walk, otherwise how could he taste such delicious food? There was also a beautiful woman accompanying the meal, which was very comfortable and comfortable.
"Does such a beautiful thing have a provenance?" In those days, Li Po would definitely not be so formal. He would snatch the cook away first. Now that he is the emperor, he doesn't need to steal it openly, he just needs to show some interest.
Empress Xiao smiled slightly and said: "This is Qingsi Yin, which I played for fun when I was living in Luoyang. Only if I don't get into the eyes of the Fang family and drink with Difanzi can I complement each other...Three thousand trouble silk, two feet long will enter the world of mortals. One cup
The fragrance is gone, leading me to the blue clouds."
What else could Li Po say? He had tasted the black silk sesame, what the fuck was it?
Li Po is now in his thirties. After so many years, he is no longer a "rough man". It's just that he has never experienced a systematic aristocratic education and will show his timidity from time to time.
Especially when you meet someone like Empress Xiao who is very literary and likes to talk about poetry and painting with others, you are more likely to encounter embarrassment.
Fortunately, Li Po reacted quickly. You talk to me about poetry, and I talk to you about politics. He first praised a few words, and then said: "What? Your Majesty has something to worry about... Just talk about it, anyway, there are still many black hairs.
, it doesn’t hurt if I use more.”
Empress Xiao smiled again. This person always spoke in a tactful and interesting way, with a hint of rogueness, but he was easily liked by others. He didn't seem to have changed much after becoming the emperor.
Think about it, is this person only like this in front of her, or has he always been like this? It is obviously the former, otherwise how could he achieve such achievements?
Thinking of this, Empress Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
Therefore, her voice was inevitably a little softer. The young female officer next to her raised her head slightly and quietly stepped back a distance from the boss until she reached the door.
"I have lived in peace for many years and have not had many worries. However, when I returned to my hometown in Chang'an, my worries also came... For example, there is a plaque outside the house, and for example, some tribesmen want to raise their children under my family, but they also have troubles.
For example, some so-called old friends come to visit one after another, which makes people overwhelmed..."
Having said this, Empress Xiao raised her head slightly and said, "I am naturally happy to see you, Your Majesty. But after you come here, there will be a different scene in front of the door. I can't help but feel worried. I am only a woman, but many people look down on me."
To rely on... Alas, this generation is already so rich, why bother?"
She was in a bad mood. According to Empress Xiao's habit, "The world is cold and autumn is cold, the human world is evil and lonely, the wind blows and the rain falls, and the flowers fall at dusk."
Li Po...
He was thinking about whether to do another copycat job, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it, so he nodded sadly and took the opportunity to drink a few more bowls of Qingsi Yin, but he didn't feel any more troubled.
I just feel that Empress Xiao's temperament is changeable, and she can change from happy to sad very quickly and naturally, and no matter what kind of posture, it is pleasing to the eye, secretly thinking that Yang Guang is a great blessing.
She's not like our mother-in-law, she just lets it go when she's happy, but when she's unhappy, she competes with me. I haven't seen her shed a single tear since we got married.
It is true that he is complaining a lot in his heart, but if you ask him to choose between Li Bi and Xiao Hou, he will not hesitate. He also likes women with strong personalities.
How can he serve such a talented woman who is weak and sad?
After waiting for a while, Empress Rong Xiao felt sad, and then Li Po said: "I'm going to say a few words about the empress. Human relationships are like poems and books. It's human common sense. When you are in power, the stars will hold the moon.
When you are down, no one cares about you. Human relationships are cold and warm, and the world is cold and cold. No one can avoid it.
But as a queen, you don't need to worry so much. You can do whatever you want. If you want to be clean, you can close the door and thank guests. If you want to find someone to talk to, you can just call me. No one will refuse.
As long as no one comes to talk to your Majesty about restoring the previous dynasty and seizing my throne, you can do whatever else you want..."
As for the Xiao clan's desire to give Empress Xiao's children to raise, that is the family matter of the Xiao clan in Lanling, and Li Pocai is too lazy to take care of it. There is also the plaque on the door of the mansion, what's wrong with hanging it for a few more days?
Empress Xiao was slightly frightened, and then she realized that the emperor was joking. Thinking about the meaning of the other party's words, she found that there were almost everything she could think of, and the meaning of protection was quite obvious, which made her heart warm.
Someone cooked some more fennel seeds and served them, but this time they were not so salty. Drinking the fennel seeds with green silk noodles really had a different taste.
…………………………
When leaving Nuange, Li Po felt sweat on his forehead and there was a faint sound of water in his belly. It turned out that the Qingsi Yin was damn carrot soup and the polyester was tea soup. He had learned a lot. It turned out that the nobles were so ruthless that they could even hurt him.
Liar.
The taste and knife skills are both pretty good. In fact, the clever thing is not the taste and knife skills, but the elegance to the core.
But sitting opposite the most beautiful woman in the world, serving you hand-made soup and a few poems, the dreams of so many Jiangnan talents were ruined by this vulgar thing like Li Po, and they only remember drinking a pot.
Carrot soup and some salty tea.
After leaving Empress Xiao's residence, I pushed the people away and said a few words to Xiao Yu, basically telling Xiao Yu to take it easy and not to disturb Empress Xiao's purity.
Tell Xiao Yu more vaguely that this is a talisman of the Xiao family. If you lose it yourself, we won't be polite...
Xiao Yu nodded in response, finally understanding the importance of his sister. As for what happened between her sister and the new emperor, he would never explore it.
He is not Empress Xiao, who is willing to look for trouble, and at this time, it seems that the sister's return to the south is an absolute good thing for the Xiao family. The connection between this sister and the emperor's family is much closer than he imagined.
He sent Xiao Yu away with a few words, ignored his advice, and hurried back to the palace. It was still early, so he chose to continue wandering around Chang'an City.
…………………………
The residence of Li Jing's family was in the east of the city, but it was just outside the city. Li Jing left in a hurry and ran to the front of the army before the enthronement ceremony.
Therefore, the mansion given to Li Jing was shelved, because Mrs. Chen felt that living in it was empty and far less cozy than her own courtyard. She had lived here for several years and was not willing to leave easily.
She must have been frightened by Li Jing's ups and downs over the years, and thought it was better to keep a low profile when she was proud. However, her two sons went to Li Jing's new residence several times in a big way, but they didn't dare.
Live in it.
After all, their mother is still living outside, but the son comes to enjoy the blessing first. That is a treasonous act.
The Chen family lives in poverty and enjoys life, but their son, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law are all anxious to scratch their heads and heads. The Li family is about to become rich and powerful, but the mother is slow and indifferent, and the children naturally cannot understand.
No, today Li Jing's second daughter and her husband came to visit again, trying to persuade her mother to move to a new home. For more than a month, they have been taking turns, making Mrs. Chen want to stuff her son and daughter back into her belly.
When Li Po came to the door, Li Jing's second son-in-law was ordering his servants to capture the chickens in the yard and slaughter them. Someone invaded the territory of Li Jing's yellow dog, barking wildly. However, it was tied around the neck and could not attack, so he started barking.
is louder.
This was so exciting that when Li Po arrived, he thought there was a robber at his father-in-law's house, so he immediately had the door forcefully opened. The guards rushed in and threw the people making trouble in the front yard to the ground...
