The servants almost vomited their hearts out. Fei'er nervously pulled at the hem of her skirt, but Hyun wanted to make sure whether Prince Yun was the eldest prince with the highest voice. How could a prince be so careless about the throne? , looking straight at him, not hiding.
Fei'er's hints to Hyun had no effect, so she had no choice but to kowtow to Ning Min:
"Don't be offended, Prince Yun. Miss Hyun has been injured and has not yet recovered. She is a bit stupid. Prince Yun, please do not argue with her."
Hyun glanced at Fei'er, who kept kowtowing, and was a little angry. Even though he knew that the hierarchy in ancient times was very strict. In some TV dramas or online articles, it was impossible for slaves to fight against emperors and queens. If they dared to do this before, People don't even listen to what you say, they are just committing the following crime. This is a serious crime that will punish the three tribes. Let alone quarreling, anyone who dares to look up without permission is committing the following crime, no matter in the palace, It is still the same in official houses, even some businessmen's houses, and in all big and prestigious households. Servants are slaves, tools, commodities, and animals, but they are not human beings. Therefore, on TV and in books The scenes depicted of slaves angrily attacking their masters were just fun to watch, but Hyun was still very dissatisfied when she saw Feier like this.
Ning Min saw Hyun coming over, and first saw her clear eyes, which were like mirrors, with his own shadow clearly visible on them:
Are you really a fool? How come you have such clear eyes.
Just when he was about to take a closer look, Hyun immediately looked at him with an unkind look because of Fei'er's plea. Ning Min was stunned and smiled to himself:
This fool is interesting.
He straightened his body and raised his stance:
"Yes, I am the eldest prince, Prince Yun."
Hyun suddenly smiled and shouted:
"Prince Yun is here, come on, come on, help us wash the vegetables!"
The servants in the yard almost spewed blood. How could anyone survive? Ning Min was also stunned. The shelf he held collapsed instantly, and he looked at Hyun in disbelief.
The little eunuch behind Ning Min yelled angrily:
"How dare you! How dare you let Prince Yun do such a menial job!"
Hyun immediately burst into tears and said while holding back her mouth:
"If you are mean to me, I will tell my brother to go! Brother, King Yun is mean to me!"
Ning Min was even more surprised. What does it have to do with him? How did it become him?
With a headache, he looked at Hyun who was walking out with a cabbage in one hand and wiping tears in the other. In the past, he would have ignored her, but now, even if he could ignore the people in the court, he could not ignore the expectations of his mother and concubine.
He rubbed his temples, stepped forward to hold Hyun, and said awkwardly:
"My king, when will I hurt you? Whatever you want to do, I will do it."
Hyun was secretly happy:
I am a fool and I am proud!
In this way, Ning Min was left to work as a coolie because of his curiosity. Curiosity killed the cat? Curiosity can also kill people.
The prince is not what everyone thinks he is. The prince also needs to learn survival skills. He may not know how to cook, but he can take care of himself. Moreover, the prince has to lead troops to fight, and they are not allowed in an environment like the battlefield. He is squeamish, so he can still do the dishes, but this is the palace, not a battlefield, or somewhere outside the imperial city. He still felt a little embarrassed when he was asked to wash the dishes. After agreeing to wash the dishes, he The little eunuch sent him away.
They had to pickle a lot of vegetables. In ancient times, it was not like today. Even in modern times, before the emergence of greenhouses, there was still no fresh vegetables to eat in winter. Everyone had to stock up on something that could be stored to survive the winter and the lean season in the coming year. In ancient times, it was even more so. in this way.
In the past, they were all rationed from the big kitchen. Ever since Ye Zhen sent Coptis chinensis snacks, Hyun's heart began to beat. When she found out that Ye Zhen always harbored inexplicable hostility towards her, she was even more careful. TV and books said that the ancients Make good use of poison, some colorless and odorless super poison, kill someone in minutes, no matter it is true or false, you have to be careful, there are many people in the big kitchen, she has no eyes in the harem, anyone can give it to her It's better to put some powder of this or that in your food. It's better to solve it yourself.
There is also a level for eating. A queen of a certain level will eat what kind of food. A servant of a certain level will eat what kind of food. Therefore, Hyun asked the big kitchen to collect the food materials for everyone in his yard on a monthly basis. Send her to the yard, no? She just pretends to be stupid. If pretending to be stupid doesn't work, she pretends to be crazy and rolls on the floor crying. It depends on whether you agree or not. Anyway, Ning Sheng is her most powerful supporter. There is no way to make trouble. The big kitchen had to do as she asked, so they had to rely on themselves to eat in the garden. They also grew their own vegetables and raised chickens and ducks, just like a farm family.
After washing the dishes for a day, I just made some noodles to fill my stomach at noon. Ning Min was very hungry in the afternoon. Seeing that Hyun was still working energetically, it was hard to say anything. In fact, giving Ning Min noodles was The surface of the water was really white, but there was something hard hidden under the noodles in the noodles given to Hyun. Hyun just wanted to punish Ning Min, but he couldn't stand the way these people were aloof and did not treat people as human beings. Ning Min was so hungry that he started sweating. I hum a tune happily in my heart.
But when it was time for dinner, Ning Min wanted to go back home to eat, but Hyun kindly allowed him to eat. Ning Min was really afraid of eating white water again, but Hyun looked at him expectantly and had to Bite the bullet and stay.
Sitting down with Hyun, he saw Hyun looking out the door impatiently, wondering if the white water surface was worth looking forward to. But the rice served made Ning Min’s eyes light up: fried rice with pickled vegetables, pickled pickled vegetables pie, and tofu and carrot balls. , stir-fried green vegetables, and the last thing served was a plate of shredded apples. I think shredded potatoes are more delicious. However, potatoes have only been introduced to China for more than 300 years. Of course, there were no potatoes in the Western Jin Dynasty, so I can only retreat. Second, make it with apples.
Hyun couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, pointed at the shredded apple and said:
"Prince Yun, eat this first. It won't taste good when it gets cold."
Ning Min picked up a piece of apple and found that a thread had been pulled out:
"What is this? Why is there still silk?"
"This is called shredded apple. To make it delicious, I also sprinkled it with rose flower sauce made from edible rose flowers. It's super delicious! Eat it quickly! Eat it while it's hot."
After saying that, he ignored Ning Min and started eating on his own.
Ning Min looked at the dishes on the table. They were all home-cooked dishes. They would not be served to entertain people at all. In a place as elegant as the palace, they would not be served. But Hyun just brought them out, and what he smelled was also It was so fragrant that I couldn't help but eat it. It was so fragrant that Ning Min thought he had never eaten such delicious food.
Hyun glanced at Ning Min and saw how delicious he was eating, and smiled secretly:
"After a month, the vegetables will be pickled. You can eat them in pickled cabbage buns or stir-fried pickled cabbage vermicelli. Does King Yun know? Pickled cauliflower is the most delicious when eaten with white pancakes. Oh my, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. There are also salted duck eggs. , the one with oily inside is the most delicious. Oops, I can’t do it anymore, my mouth is watering like the Yellow River.”
As he spoke, he deliberately sucked it and wiped his mouth.
Ning Min kept all this in mind while eating. He didn't understand much about the kitchen, such as pickled cabbage and cauliflower. He only knew that it must be delicious.
Hyun is happy to see him like that:
I see you look down on others, and I only deal with people like you!
Ning Sheng's illness healed within a few days. He kept silent about his opposition to the crown prince. If anyone mentioned it, they would hesitate to pass it by. Seeing his attitude, everyone gradually lost their thoughts, but secretly started to support Ning Sheng. Those from Min and those who support Ning Yan formed cliques and tried their best to gain influence. The two protagonists ignored these people's actions. Anyway, Ning Sheng is still in good health. As long as there is no sudden disaster, there will be no problem when he is 60 years old.
A month passed quickly. Ever since Ning Min ate the food in Hyun Garden, he had been thinking about it and counting the days on his fingers. As soon as the month was up, he couldn't wait to appear outside of Hyun Garden, which stunned Hyun.
Monk Zhanger couldn't figure it out and asked Feier stupidly:
"Why are you here, Prince Yun?"
Fei'er covered her mouth and smiled:
"Of course I'm here to eat pickled cabbage buns."
"I just said that casually and made him angry, but he really took it to heart."
While he was talking, Ning Min had already come in. When he saw Hyun looking at him in surprise, he felt a little embarrassed and coughed lightly:
"This king is here to sit and sit."
Feier secretly laughed behind Hyun. She has been following Hyun for almost two years. They all know what kind of temper she has. Hyun hates such an awkward personality the most.
Sure enough, when Hyun heard what he said, she narrowed her eyes:
"Ah——, Prince Yun is just here to sit here, so I won't let them make fried vermicelli with pickled vegetables."
Saying that, he walked out.
Ning Min couldn't help but grab her:
"Since I asked you to do it, I will try it too."
"Seeing that King Yun is so reluctant, let's forget it. This kind of dish is just a side dish in the market, and it is indeed not worthy of King Yun's status."
Ning Min held her tighter and refused to let her go:
"I, my king, just want to try the local dishes."
"It seems that King Yun came here specially to taste it. Really, I told you earlier, and you still go around in such a big circle."
Ning Min let go of Hyun awkwardly, his eyes moved away from Hyun, and a touch of red appeared on his cheeks.
Fei'er saw this scene clearly, with an unabashed evil smile on her face, which made Fei'er almost laugh out loud. She was startled and sweating, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to think about anything else.
Suddenly the eunuch's roll call came from outside:
"Prince Ji..."
"Oh, no need to sing, I'm in." Then Ning Yan's voice came, "Xun, I came here to eat pickled cabbage buns, don't tell me you didn't make them well."
He ran over and saw Ning Min and Xun standing at the door. They were both a little embarrassed to see each other. Ning Yan spoke first:
"Brother Huang is here, are you here to eat pickled cabbage buns too?"
The redness on Ning Min's face became more obvious and he looked more embarrassed.
Hyun didn't want the two of them to be so awkward, so he interjected:
"Let's sit down first and drink eight pots of tea. Ten pots of tea will be enough for us to eat."
Ning Yan smiled and said:
"Hey, you don't want to feed us, right? Good things have to be shared with everyone. Don't even think about filling us up with tea."
Being interrupted by Hyun, the atmosphere relaxed a bit. The three of them all went into the room to chat. In fact, it was mainly Hyun and Ning Yan. In the end, Hyun couldn't stand the situation of Ning Min sitting there drinking water, so he winked at Ning Yan.
Ning Yan said:
"Brother, you haven't seen the flowers in the garden, right? These are collected by my father, uncle and I."
Hyun said dissatisfied:
"I also have a collection, okay? Don't exclude me."
Ning Min thought for a moment. Last time he came here, he only washed vegetables. He really didn't take a good look at the garden:
"Not really. I only took a look at it at the door last time I came here."
Then he immersed himself in washing the vegetables, but Ning Min didn't say this.
Ning Yan stood up:
"Let's go and have a look. The roses in the garden are very beautiful. You can't see anything at the door."
Then the three of them went outside the house with Ning Yan as the center.
Ning Min is a person full of poetry and painting, and he can still see such beautiful flowers in autumn, his heart becomes softer, and his complexion becomes gentle.
Hyun glanced at him, pointed to a small pavilion in front of him and said:
"With such a beautiful scenery, how about playing the piano?"
Ning Yan responded:
"Okay! It's a pity that we can only see such beautiful scenery like this."
The three of them came to the piano table. Ning Yan touched it first, and melodious music floated out, like an elf dancing on the flowers. It was light and joyful. People seemed to fly along with the music. Next came Ning Min, who unfolded In a beautiful moonlit scene, a man with long hair is sitting on the piano platform with gauze curtains, playing the piano for his distant lover, telling his longing for him, the music will send his feelings to the arms of his distant lover, I miss you, I miss you. I hold you in my arms and want to kiss your tearful eyes, but these are limited by distance. The only thing I can do is to place my longing for you in this music and fly to you in the distance.
After Ning Min finished stroking it, it was time for Hyun to get wet, but Hyun frowned and stood aside, her eyes a little illusory. She didn't know what she was thinking. Ning Yan came up and bumped into her:
"Is the fool starting to have a baby?"
Hyun was stunned for a moment and pushed him:
"What are you talking about? You are just pregnant. By the way, you are really pregnant. How old are you? It's time to find a princess. I will look for you tomorrow and find a princess to give you a baby. Let's You Ansheng, don't come to my place to eat and drink."
"I just said one thing, and you said a lot, are you a fool?"
"What's wrong if I'm a fool? What's wrong if I'm not a fool? Do you want to marry me?"
Ning Yan glanced at her and burst into laughter. (To be continued)
