Doesn't this old boy think that he can do poetry and can do it right because he has read these books?
Well, you have really helped me a lot. I will have a suitable excuse for any inappropriate behavior in the future... I read a lot of books.
"My dear, the prince is still young, and it is not easy for him to study hard. Although he is diligent in his work, the prince's health should be the first priority."
"Mingfu, it's already late today, and we will suspend school for one day tomorrow. There is no need to leave any homework for the prince in the future."
The queen is quite unjust. When did she force Xi'er to study? Never before. Even when she saw her child studying, she always let her go out to play.
Sun Fu was also very wronged. Why should he keep his homework after school? The prince has never delayed, but he has been pressing the progress of the course. Otherwise, the prince would have been able to take the child examination.
Since my husband said this, no one refuted it, but just agreed with it word by word.
But everyone knows one thing: there is no heavenly gift, only hard work.
As Prince E is so smart and diligent, it is not surprising that he performed well at the banquet.
Only Zhao Xi himself understood that if he was in his forties and taught at the pace of a young child, he might really be alive in the end.
He was forced to relax, but little did he know that after tonight, all the children in the capital would suffer.
Prince E is so smart that he never forgets to review his books. But you, with your qualifications, are greedy for playing, go and review your books!
…
At the same time, Zhao Xi woke up.
In this era of lack of entertainment, apart from reading, there is really nothing that interests Zhao Xi.
All that was left was to sleep. So he was forced to develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
I was originally waiting for someone to come over and help me get dressed, but no one moved.
"Zhongzheng, I'm going to school..."
"Your Majesty, yesterday my husband asked me to suspend school today."
Alas, I forgot. Continue to sleep? Or do something else? Otherwise, it's really boring.
"Xi'er, Mo Wen has finished reading. Let's play with Tao Niang after dinner."
Come on! Not long after that, the empress came over just to stop me from reading.
What the hell is this!
"Sanlang, can we have Grandma Cao's meat cakes at the banquet? Can we have Liu's dim sum? Tao Niang has eaten it, and it's delicious."
Chirping cute little girl.
"Tao Niang, Grandma Cao's meat cake is not delicious."
"It's delicious, Tao Niang likes it."
What a poor baby. There were very few snacks in the palace, and even if there were, the imperial chef would follow the gourd's instructions and make some famous snacks on the market.
Can I try making a meal? Zhao Xi can’t sit still and doesn’t let him read, only play, so let’s try a new trick.
"Tao Niang, how about Sanlang cook you something delicious?"
"Sanlang, you..."
The little girl was very hesitant and looked at Zhao Xi suspiciously.
This was Zhao Xi's first time to visit the palace's kitchen. It was quite a big house, and everything from the warehouse to the kitchen was arranged in a very orderly manner.
The eunuch who works in the imperial kitchen is also considered a eunuch. Zhao Xi doesn't know him, but he is familiar with Wang Zhongzheng. When he sees Wang Zhongzheng, he knows that the most popular Prince E is here.
"Your Majesty, little Liu Yi is waiting for you."
Her age is invisible and she is quite fair, making it easy for Zhao Xi to match up with the eunuchs in later film and television works.
He had a flattering look on his face, and there was a lump of flesh on his face. Although Zhao Xi didn't like this kind of people, he understood.
The imperial dining room is considered a privileged position in the palace. Not only is it convenient to enter and exit the palace, but the purchase is a large piece of meat. What's more, it is trusted by His Majesty and has the opportunity to get close to His Majesty.
No, the heir to the emperor is here.
"Liu Yi, right?"
"It's your lord, the little one is here."
"Is there any icing sugar? Chicken and old noodles?"
"Go back to your lord, yes, yes."
"Is the kitchen fire newly built? Is the imperial dining room built by itself or is it specially built?"
Zhao Xi wants to make cakes or bread. When he was a child, there was an earthen oven in the town that baked cakes and bread.
I remember the style of the stove very clearly. I think even today's craftsmen should have no problem making such an earthen stove.
"Back to your lord, the stove in our royal dining room is not something ordinary people can do. We built it ourselves."
This one really reminds me that this person is an internal prisoner.
"Call the chef, I need to make a stove. Also, prepare some noodles, flour, chicken, and sugar. I will use it later. By the way, if you have milk, prepare some."
The royal kitchen didn’t know what the prince’s purpose was to prepare milk. In the past, the palace always bought cheese, and milk was never kept. The prince needed it, but he had to have it if he didn’t have it.
Zhao Xi didn't know how to make design drawings, so he could only draw a vague meaning. Fortunately, he knew the cross-section and drew a clay oven based on what he remembered.
To be honest, Zhao Xi was surprised by the craftsmen of this era.
Even Zhao Xi couldn't understand the picture he drew, but Yushanfang Construction took one look and took action.
Zhao Xi was very worried that these idiots were busy in vain. In less than half an hour, an exquisite earth-baked stove was completed. It was much better than what Zhao Xi had imagined.
The distance between the ground fire pit and the baking platform is exactly the middle position of the ground fire external combustion. The baking platform is made of stone slabs, smooth and flat, with a slight inclination, making the actual operation quite easy.
Zhao Xi took a look at the mouth of the baking platform. The entire baking space was medium-sized and seemed to be exactly the same as the proportions he had seen. If Zhao Xi hadn't asked, there was no such thing in this era, he would have doubted that this building had been done before.
Work.
Even the smoke holes and bellows openings that Zhao Xi had not considered were completed.
"Liu Yi, is there any carbon in the palace?"
"Back to my lord, yes."
"Okay, you ask someone to light a fire and dry out the stove first. Follow me..."
Zhao Xi understood a little bit why emperors loved treacherous ministers. He didn't like Liu Yi's flattering face, but he was very comfortable when doing things.
Cake is something that every family in the future will bake and eat by themselves. It is nothing more than flour, eggs, yeast, sugar and milk.
Different recipes and production processes can be transformed into bread, puff pastry and other similar types of snacks.
Anyway, there was a group of people surrounding him, letting him do whatever he wanted. Zhao Xi simply followed the most exquisite method, beating eggs, mixing flour, mixing sugar...
A group of people were having fun under the command of a three-year-old child.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in the imperial kitchen, and he said he was going to make some snacks for Tao's wife."
"Making snacks?"
The queen was very surprised and wanted to stop her... The so-called gentleman is far away from the kitchen, why is this prince... Forget it, just think of it as a child playing, no one said anything.
Zhao Xi forgot to make a model box, but fortunately there was a model for making dim sum in the palace, so he baked it while letting him make it according to his own style.
I've been talking for a long time, so I can't delay any longer.
Zhao Xi was not sure how long this stove would take to bake cakes, but there was no shortage of such talent in the imperial kitchen.
Before it’s even out of the oven, you can already smell the aroma all around the stove...
"Sanlang...it's delicious, even better than Granny Cao's meatloaf."
Tao Niang didn't care about burning her mouth. She let the palace maid hold the freshly baked cake and broke it bit by bit to feed it.
She wasn't hot, but the palace maid kept sucking her fingers.
