Eunuch Cao came out to greet him: "I can smell the fragrance from a distance."
"Hurry over here, it's still hot," Li Shao said, "Father, are you busy?"
The Holy Father has been approving the dumplings all afternoon, and when I was mentally exhausted, I woke up with the aroma of roasted deer legs.
Li Shao carried the deer leg to the side hall.
When the saint came over, Li Shao bowed and said: "Father, I hunted a deer today, and I roasted this leg with my own hands."
The Holy Emperor looked at Li Shao with gentle eyes.
After all, it was a rainy day to go to the forest farm, and Li Shao's clothes and shoes were stained with mud.
It seemed that he had tidied up briefly when he returned to the palace, but he sat in front of the fire for a long time and had some charcoal ash stuck to his body.
His Majesty had some objections to such a lack of manners and image, but when he thought of Li Shao's filial piety...
"First go inside and wipe your face and change your clothes," the Holy Master said, pointing to the deer leg. "When you finish cleaning up, we, father and son, will drink wine and eat meat."
Li Shao agreed.
In the side hall of the imperial study, there are many belongings of Li Shao.
The waiter quickly prepared suitable clothes.
Li Shao returned to the imperial court neatly, with wine already placed on the table.
"Let me have a taste of Shao'er's craftsmanship." The Holy One did not put anything in the chuck, but took the knife from Eunuch Cao's hand, cut a piece off the deer leg and put it in his mouth to chew.
The venison is plump and plump, with the outer layer being roasted and crispy, while the inner meat is still soft and tender. The fat bursts out in your mouth, leaving a fragrant aroma between your teeth.
It is a delicious food, but it is hunted and roasted by my favorite son. The taste is even more incredible.
The Holy Sage was extremely satisfied. He ate several mouthfuls before taking a sip of wine and said, "I am so blessed."
Li Shao's face was red.
To be praised by my father, to go hunting in the woods on a wet and cold day, and to sit by the fire and bake in the heat, those difficult places are suddenly worth tens of millions of gold.
"As long as you like it," Li Shao added some wine for the Holy Sage, "As long as you like it, I will hunt one back next time."
The Holy Father was stunned for a moment.
As a crown prince, it’s not right to always think about hunting deer.
But seeing Li Shao's happy and satisfied look, the Holy Master started laughing again while chewing the venison.
There is no need to pour cold water on Li Shao about small things.
When his homework becomes more intense, he will naturally not have time to go to the forest farm.
"You said earlier that you wanted to send it to King Jin?" asked the Holy Sage.
"Sent it away." Li Shao explained his allocation one by one.
The Holy Spirit listened and nodded.
Look, he is really a filial child.
I remember roasting deer legs for him with my own hands, sending a copy to Cining Palace and Cuihua Palace, and remembering the birthday of King Jin.
Very thorough.
With this in mind, he did not mention that the Queen Mother was ill and might not be able to eat roasted deer.
Shaoer is not mature enough, but he has a good heart. With more experience, he will gradually become decent.
In Cining Palace, Eunuch Yu was all smiles: "What a fat deer."
The chamberlain of the East Palace said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has brought back some fresh food today. He asked the imperial kitchen to bake it and deliver it to the Empress Dowager."
"Your Highness is full of filial piety."
The two sides exchanged some auspicious words, and Eunuch Yu asked his father-in-law to go inside and explain to the Queen Mother in person that he was one step behind, and the smile on his face froze, leaving only a feeling of embarrassment.
Venison is good and fragrant, and the Empress Dowager also likes it very much.
But her old lady can’t eat venison today!
The fragrant venison is now served in front of the Empress Dowager. Isn’t it tempting for her?
The Empress Dowager was really greedy, her throat rolled a few times, and she was salivating.
After she praised Li Shao's filial piety, the servants of the East Palace left, and the Empress Dowager couldn't move her eyes away from the food box.
"The Ai family doesn't want to eat it," the empress dowager herself knew, "I brought them all to make the Ai family satisfied."
Grandma Wang followed her words.
On the first floor, there is a piece of meat from the deer's front legs connected to the body.
The second layer contains venison steak.
The Empress Dowager took a few deep breaths and sighed: "The Ai family does not have such a good taste today, so Yun Yan can eat it."
Lin Yunyan blinked.
There is no doubt that she hates Li Shao.
Li Shao was the direct cause of the ending of her and Xu Jian's previous life.
After they were forced to leave Beijing, the situation in the court became more and more volatile. They were far away, and the news was not timely enough and not necessarily accurate. However, the things that her father mentioned before his death were still engraved in Lin Yunyan's heart.
"The Holy One is seriously ill and is recuperating in the Chengshou Palace. The government is controlled by the prince. Except for him, no one seems to see the Holy One. Even Prince Ping cannot enter the Chengshou Palace."
Regardless of whether he is the culprit or not, the prince participated in the "blockade" of the Holy One.
In this life, if Lin Yunyan wants to live a smooth and stable life in the capital, she will probably have conflicts and contradictions with Li Shao in the future.
But...
Lin Yunyan glanced at the food box.
Food is innocent.
She has a grudge against Li Shao, but she has no grudge against this box of venison.
It is most shameful to waste food carelessly. During the most difficult times in the past, she was even hungry.
"Then I'll try it for you." Lin Yunyan accepted with a smile.
She doesn't actually need much, but the smell of the meat brings satisfaction and comfort, making people feel happy.
"It was a good deer, but it was a pity that it fell into the hands of the prince."
"While Eunuch Xiao and Grandma Wang don't see it, can you secretly take a sip and taste it?"
"How can I be greedy for you? The prince has probably learned a lot about deer hunting. You didn't taste it this time. Will you ask him to hunt another one for you next time?"
The Empress Dowager told her that it was ridiculous.
But this girl loves to have fun. She usually eats in a polite manner. Today, just to be greedy, she gnawed on the deer steak.
After nibbling, I didn’t forget to suck my fingers.
How does she look like a delicate princess?
Grandma Wang turned around and saw it, and she was very happy.
She knew that the empress only loved the princess. She had no rules but was very down-to-earth, which would naturally remind her of her childhood.
The Empress Dowager said "Maitai", "only a few days older than a three-year-old child", but in fact her eyes were slitted with laughter.
Smiling and laughing, my heart cannot help but feel a little bit reluctant to leave.
It's actually time for Yun Yan to get married.
Time passed so quickly, and she was getting older without even realizing it.
However, no matter whether she chooses a well-matched person from the noble family in Beijing, she can summon Yun Yan into the palace whenever she thinks about it.
You can't be like Aqi. Her husband's family has many good things, but it's just too far away.
The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and Aqi has a child by her side. It is not easy to go to Beijing, so I can only write a letter back.
And at her current age, she thinks about it every year and looks forward to it every year, how many times can she still see Aqi?
Lin Yunyan is full.
Seeing that behind the Empress Dowager's cheerfulness, there were also some inseparable emotions, she did not ask directly, but looked for Grandma Wang privately.
Grandma Wang hesitated and excused herself: "I'm getting older, don't you think the younger generation are like this? Sometimes I think of my childhood, and sometimes I think of how time flies..."
When Lin Yunyan saw this, she didn't ask any more questions. She only had a vague guess in her mind.
I'm afraid it has something to do with the conversation the Holy Father had with the Empress Dowager when he came up to have lunch.
The venison in her stomach was digested, and when she turned around, Lin Yunyan saw the deer hunter in Cining Palace.
Li Shao brought Liu Xun to greet the Empress Dowager.
