God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 9

With Lao Du's permission, Lao Fu didn't dare to say anything, so he gave all the ingredients to Du He.

Du He ordered people to build a simple smoke-free stove in a corner of the yard. In fact, a long diabolo tube was added behind the ordinary stove. There was no more green smoke, which made Lao Fu and others dumbfounded.

There is a large pot on the stove. After Duhe and other water are boiled, various condiments such as salt are put into it, and then the mutton is cut into thin slices.

After the soup boiled, Du He put two plates of mutton aside, picked up the chopsticks, and said to Du Ruhui, "Father, let's serve dinner!"

Du Ruhui was dumbfounded: "He'er, this... how do you eat this?"

Du He laughed and said, "Look at me!"

As he said, he picked up a piece of mutton, put it into the boiling soup pot and rinsed it, and when the color changed, he took it out, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and then swallowed it.

Du He said with satisfaction: "This mutton is very fresh and tender. It would be great if there were chili peppers!"

The only fly in the ointment is that the chili has not been introduced to the Central Plains at this time, so there is no chili in the seasoning.

Du Ruhui painted a ladle on a gourd, and just after taking a bite, he shouted: "It turns out that there is still such a way to eat mutton. This mutton is very thin, and it can be eaten with just a little rinsing. It's really ingenious. I eat it." This is the first time I have eaten such delicious lamb..."

The cooks of Lai Guogong's mansion are not far away. Hearing this, they all feel that they are in danger of losing their jobs.

Ding!
"Congratulations to the host, you got 10 shock points from Du Du Ruhui!"

"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained 8 shock points from the old housekeeper!"

"Congratulations to the host, you got 7 shock points from the cook Niu Er!"

……

With just one meal, Du He gained 60 shock points!
Originally, he planned to draw a lottery before going to bed, but he was too full. After returning home, Du He fell asleep.

……

The next morning.

East Palace.

Prince Li Chengqian is entertaining several of his confidants.

The leaders are Zhang Sun Chong, Fang Yiai, and Gao Xing.

The original Chang'an Four Plagues lacked Du He.

Li Chengqian asked: "Everyone, I have heard that Emperor Father pardoned Du He's death crime, why didn't I see him in person at today's banquet?"

Chang Sun Chong hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I have already sent someone to invite him, but he sent him back, saying that he is busy doing carpentry and has no time to attend the banquet."

"Oh?" Li Chengqian looked surprised, "The second son of the dignified Duke's mansion is about to become the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, Du He...he actually went to work as a carpenter, isn't that what a lowly person does?"

Fang Yiai nodded in agreement: "Yes, thanks to Du He's self-proclaimed scholar, it really embarrasses us scholars!"

"Hmph, maybe he is hiding from me. Let's go, let's go to the Duke's Mansion to have a look. I want to see what conspiracy Du He is up to!"

Originally, Prince Li Chengqian had four hardcore followers, namely Changsun Chong, Du He, Fang Yiai, and Gao Xingxing.

Changsun Chong is the son of Duke Sun Wuji of Qi.

Du He is the son of Du Ruhui, Duke of Lai.

Fang Yiai is the son of Wei Guogong Fang Xuanling.

Gao Xing is the son of Xu Guogong Gao Shilian.

Li Chengqian just wanted to control these people, and then he won over Sun Wuji, the chief minister of the dynasty, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the prime ministers, and Gao Shilian, the official secretary.

Unexpectedly, after news of Du He's escape from marriage came out, he no longer had contact with the East Palace, which made Li Chengqian somewhat displeased.

A group of people soon came to the gate of Lai Guogong.

The butler Fu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Li Chengqian asked, "Where is Duke Lai?"

The old Fu replied with trepidation: "Your Highness, our master has gone out on business and hasn't come back yet."

"Du He should be in the mansion, what is he doing?" Li Chengqian asked again.

"Second Young Master...is doing carpentry in the backyard..."

Li Chengqian flicked his sleeves and walked in: "What a nonsense!"

Li Chengqian led Changsun Chong and others through the corridor yard all the way to the backyard.

In a corner of the yard, there were many tools used by carpenters, and Du He squatted on the ground, sawing wood with a saw, without noticing that someone was coming behind him.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian and others were shocked!

In the past, Du He was not interested in carpentry at all, let alone doing it by himself. This guy usually has to be fed by his maid at home.

What is this crazy today?

But the problem is, everyone knows that Du He belongs to the prince.

Li Chengqian showed displeasure, and asked in a deep voice: "Du He, do you know what you are doing?"

When Du He turned his head, he saw Li Chengqian and others.

"Yo, when did His Highness come?"

Li Chengqian was expressionless: "Du He, I order you to put down the things in your hands immediately, and go to the East Palace with me to conspire for great things!"

Du He folded his hands and said with a sneer, "Your Highness, there is no rule in the Tang Dynasty that I am not allowed to work as a carpenter, right?"

"Du He, don't forget, you are a person cultivated by this palace. After this palace inherits the great rule, you will go out to be generals and prime ministers, and govern the country for this palace. But look at you now, you have started You have completely embarrassed me by becoming a carpenter!" Li Chengqian said angrily.

Chang Sun Chong hastily added: "Du He, don't forget, we were sworn brothers, but now you have lowered your status to do this kind of low-level work, it really embarrasses us!"

Du He looked at the older children in front of him, and suddenly felt a little funny.

Especially Li Chengqian, who wanted to inherit the throne with all his heart, but he was an idiot. In the end, the rebellion failed, and he lived under the shadow of Li Er all his life, let alone being useless.

The first thing Du He did when he came to Datang was to draw a clear line with Li Chengqian.

He ran away from marriage and annoyed Li Er in the palace, all in order to stay away from the emperor's house, but the effect was not obvious. Now, the perfect opportunity has arrived.

Du He glanced at Li Chengqian, and said with a sneer, "Go away, don't delay my making chairs, every one of them has not even grown hair yet, just thinking about governing the world, what a joke!"

"Bold!"

"Du He, you don't want to live anymore!"

"Du He, how dare you insult His Highness the Crown Prince, you are so audacious!"

Chang Sun Chong and others spoke out and reprimanded them one after another.

Li Chengqian was even more furious, pointing at Du He: "Okay, Du He, don't you be ashamed of yourself? Very good, come here, smash all these things for me!"

The four guards of the East Palace immediately stepped forward and smashed the semi-finished chair made by Du He into fine pieces.

Du He looked at it coldly, seeing that it was almost done, he waved his hand: "Lu Bu, let's do it!"

It takes less than half a stick of incense.

The guards of the Eastern Palace are all down!

Li Chengqian, Changsun Chong and others all fell to the ground with bruised noses and swollen faces.

Li Chengqian's face was swollen from the beating, and his words were still leaking, pointing at Du He and yelling: "Du He, I will not let you go... I want to report to the royal father, and let the Duke of Lai's family be executed! "

Du He waved his hand: "Throw them all out!"

After doing all this, Du He said to himself: "Beat the crown prince, this time Li Er should be furious, although it is a bit dangerous, but in order to draw a clear line with Li Chengqian, this idiot, I have to fight!" Take the risk..."
