"That's all! It's because I didn't think it through well. I'll make you the crown prince after I've taken care of everything."
Emperor Chongzhen sighed, but he was somewhat angry in his heart.
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is wise."
"Alas! This old guy really doesn't sincerely want to make me the crown prince. Otherwise, he would just say that he hasn't handled it well and just make me the crown prince."
Lin Fan complained in his mind, turned around and left.
Emperor Chongzhen was dumbfounded. What did this guy mean?
I made you the prince, but you are dissatisfied. If I don’t make you the prince, why do you say that to me?
When Lin Fan left the palace, the sky was just getting dark, and at the exit of the palace gate, several young eunuchs sneaked out.
Lin Fan took a quick look and saw Nalan Yanran, the assassin. She was wearing eunuch clothes and following a few young eunuchs who were out of the palace to buy things.
Lin Fan calmly walked forward with the Jin Yiwei. When Nalan Yanran saw Lin Fan, she was so excited that she wanted to run over. However, when she saw the clothes on her body, she followed the crowd honestly.
"Ahem! What are you going to do when you leave the palace?"
Lin Fan walked over and asked coldly.
When the young eunuchs saw that it was Lin Fan, they hurriedly knelt on the ground. Nalan Yanran also knelt down helplessly.
"Reporting to Mr. Wu Hou, we went out of the palace to buy some. Several nobles in the palace wanted to eat snacks from outside."
The leading eunuch said.
“Where do you need so many people for procurement?
Just a few of you can go and leave this one behind."
Lin Fan pointed at Nalan Yanran and said.
"Yes! Lord Wuhou!"
Several young eunuchs all cast doubtful glances at Nalan Yanran. Why did Lord Wu choose to keep him?
However, they did not dare to stay here longer and hurried out of the palace. After they left, Lin Fan asked Nalan Yanran to follow him out of the palace.
Back at Baihu Division, Lin Fan looked at Nalan Yanran and said, "Princess Nalan, if you don't stay in the palace properly, why did you suddenly go out?"
"If something happens to you outside alone, I won't be able to explain it to your father."
Nalan Yanran pouted and said, "Huh! I know all the things you did outside. Fayuan Temple was sealed off by you, and you also arrested Grand Tutor Shen Yansong!"
"You didn't take me with you for so many things, so I came out to find you on my own."
…
It turned out that this little girl came out of the palace to find him. Lin Fan stretched out his hand and knocked on Nalan Yanran's little head and said: "Forget it this time. If you dare to leave the palace privately in the future, you will be there."
You will suffer the consequences!"
"Ouch! You hurt me when you hit me!"
Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth and said, then she waved her small fists and beat Lin Fan on the chest.
Gululu!
At this time, there was a scream from the stomach, and Nalan Yanran's face turned red with shame. The rules in the palace were strict, and the meal times were strictly fixed.
Moreover, she had to eat with Queen Zhou, so Nalan Yanran didn't dare to eat more. Therefore, she had been hungry all night, and her stomach was definitely growling after she got up so early.
Lin Fan said helplessly: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat spicy soup."
"Soup with Pepper?
what is that?"
Nalan Yanran asked.
"A kind of folk snack, it is the most common breakfast eaten by ordinary people. However, the taste of Hu spicy soup is average and there is still a lot of room for improvement."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
He is not just talking casually. The spicy soup has developed into the 21st century, and the taste is very different from the spicy soup in the Ming Dynasty.
Even some spicy soup restaurants that are said to be century-old, their recipes are not exactly the same as a hundred years ago. After all, countless spices have been born in the past hundred years, and people's tastes have become more and more picky.
“Is there a lot of room for improvement?
Can you still cook?"
Nalan Yanran asked, blinking her big eyes.
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "I guess I can."
"It's amazing! My mother said that girls should learn the three obediences and four virtues, and learn to cook. She never said that men also need to cook."
Nalan Yanran said with admiration.
Although her mother often taught her how to cook, Nalan Yanran's talent for cooking was extremely poor. After learning for a long time, she couldn't even cook a home-cooked dish.
Lin Fan looked at Nalan Yanran and couldn't help but sigh to himself. Women in ancient times paid attention to the three obediences and four virtues, and paid attention to their husbands singing and their wives following. Let's look at those girls in the 21st century.
Not to mention the three obediences and the four virtues, husbands and wives have long since disappeared, and most of the burden of cooking has also fallen on men.
"In fact, in this society, there is no clear division of labor between men and women. If women can learn to cook, then men can naturally learn too."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Nalan Yanran nodded in understanding, and Lin Fan added: "Look, there is a spicy soup shop here, let's eat some here."
Lin Fan walked over with Nalan Yanran. When the shopkeeper saw Nalan Yanran wearing a eunuch, he thought she was from the palace.
"Ouch! You two distinguished guests must have gone out to buy some. The spicy soup shop I have is the best around here. You two must come here often in the future!"
The store owner said excitedly.
As a seller of hot and spicy soup, he gets up at three or four o'clock every day. Naturally, he has seen too many young eunuchs passing by in a hurry, and he also knows that they are ordered to go out of the palace to buy.
Doing business with the palace would bring huge profits, so he naturally wanted to seize such an opportunity.
Lin Fan said: "If you want to do business with the palace, the taste must be good. Let us have a taste of your spicy soup first.
"
"Hehe! You two, just watch. I guarantee that after you eat this spicy soup once, you will want to eat it a second time!"
The shopkeeper said with a smile and brought a bowl of spicy soup to the two of them.
Lin Fan just smelled it and felt that the spicy spicy soup tasted great. He took a sip and found that the spicy spicy soup actually had a light fragrance.
Nalan Yanran had never tasted this before, and she fell in love with it after one sip. She picked up the bowl and drank heavily. Lin Fan was speechless for a while looking at Nalan Yanran who was so careless about his image.
Half an hour later, Lin Fan looked at the three big bowls in front of Nalan Yanran and was speechless. Although he had eaten six bowls, Nalan Yanran was a girl!
Moreover, she is still petite, how can this girl be so good at eating?
Suddenly, Nalan Yanran's face turned red with embarrassment, covering her stomach and not daring to look at herself.
…
If Lin Fan guessed correctly, this girl must have not emptied her stomach in the morning, and now she has eaten too much and cannot hold it any longer.
"The Baihu Si Yamen is nearby. Let's go."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
In ancient times, there was no such thing as public toilets. Even some ordinary people's homes did not have toilets, and they were all used in open spaces outside.
Nalan Yanran nodded her little head like a rattle, returned to Baihusi Yamen, and went to the toilet.
