The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 467 Chapter 33 Chapter [-]: The Incident Before the Spirit
"What is this?" Jin Yang saw that the snow-white porcelain bowl contained white and tender soup, and five or six round "snow balls" were lying in the bowl.

"Returning to Your Highness, the name of this food is Tangyuan. It is a new food made by Lord Hou and his wife after returning home tonight. I sent some to the palace to take care of the women, and personally delivered it to the princess. Come." Mrs. Liu said.

Hearing Mrs. Liu said that it was something Xuan Shijing specially sent into the palace, Jinyang became curious, picked up the spoon in the bowl, scooped a round glutinous rice ball, put it to his mouth and blew it. , took a light bite.

"It's so sweet." Jin Yang exclaimed. He has eaten many pastries since he was a child, but none of them can match the sweetness of this glutinous rice balls.

"Your Highness, the stuffing of these glutinous rice balls is made of fine sesame seeds and mixed with icing sugar. If you eat too much, it will get a little greasy, so you need to drink some soup." Aunt Liu reminded.

Jin Yang nodded and continued to eat the glutinous rice balls in the bowl.

After the things were delivered, it was naturally inconvenient for Mrs. Liu to stay in the warm pavilion. After saying goodbye to Jinyang, she left the palace under the leadership of the palace's Habayashi army.

In the hall of spirits, the members of the royal family who were guarding the spirit in the hall had been hungry for a whole day. Even if they ate, they were just round cakes with soup to satisfy their hunger. For the daily life of rich clothes, fine food, delicacies from mountains and seas, this kind of food was simply too much. hard to swallow.

At the time of You, another eunuch from the Shangshi Bureau came to the Spirit Hall with a food box to deliver food to everyone, but it was still hard to swallow dry biscuits.

The three Li Chengqian brothers opened the food box with a look of lovelessness, only to find that the food box of the three of them was different from the food box of others. There were three large bowls, and each bowl contained seven or eight glutinous rice balls. Son, here is the supper that Xuan Shijing prepared for the three brothers.

The three brothers looked at the eunuch who came to deliver the food in puzzlement.

The eunuch saw that the three highnesses were looking at him like this, and quickly explained: "Three highnesses, this is the food that the Marquis of Dongshan outside the palace sent to the palace, and the food was also sent to the Palace of Ganlu and Nuange. The Lord Hou said that the three highnesses I have been starving for a whole day at the Spirit Hall and haven’t eaten much, so let Your Highness have some glutinous rice balls to eat at night, and there are some cakes under the food box for the three Highnesses to satisfy their hunger."

"Xiaojing did a great job!" Li Tai smiled and praised after hearing this. Originally, every time he ate, Li Tai was the master of everything, otherwise he wouldn't have raised his physique like this. Such a rich state, let him eat sesame seed cakes for a day, it is a kind of torture.

"That...His Royal Highness Duke of Wei said that now is the period of mourning for the Supreme Emperor, so this glutinous rice balls are also stuffed with plain stuffing." The little eunuch reminded cautiously.

vegetarian? In an instant, the smile on Li Tai's face became invisible, and he returned to his loveless appearance.

Li Ke and Li Chengqian had already held up the porcelain bowls, and began to scoop up the glutinous rice balls in the bowls with soup spoons and began to eat them. so delicious?
Li Tai picked up the bowl and took two mouthfuls, but couldn't stop anymore.

The three of them were eating supper with bowls in their hands in the hall of spirits. They were envied and hated by people around them. They were also delivered by Shangshi Bureau. Why did they take special care of them and they could only eat dry biscuits?
Looking at the dry biscuits in their hands, everyone just found it even more difficult to swallow.
"Come here!" Finally, Li You couldn't help but threw the dry biscuits in his hands on the ground, pointed at the glutinous rice balls in Li Chengqian's hands and said to the eunuch of Shangshi Bureau, "Get a bowl for me too, hurry up!"

"This..." The little eunuch from Shangshi Bureau hesitated, where can I get it for him? It was something sent into the palace by the Lord Hou of Dongshan Hou Mansion outside the palace, and the masters of Shangshi Bureau didn't eat it either. However, how to do it?
Hearing Li You's words, Li Ke turned his head silently to look at his younger brother Li Yin who was kneeling beside him, gnawing on the dry biscuit honestly, and handed the remaining four glutinous rice balls to Li Yin's hand along with the bowl. before.

"Eat something warm." Li Ke said in a low voice.

Li Yin raised his head, looked at Li Ke who was looking at him softly, and was inexplicably moved in his heart. He gently took the porcelain bowl in Li Ke's hand, and started to eat voraciously.

There were not many glutinous rice balls, Li Ke ate three by himself, and Li Yin ate the remaining four.

Li You saw that Li Yin, who had been hanging out with him all day, could eat a mouthful of hot soup, and felt even more resentful, and angrily said to the little eunuch of the Shangshi Bureau: "Didn't you hear what this king said?"

The little eunuch quickly knelt down on the ground: "Your Highness, it's not that you don't want to take it for His Highness, it's just that the food was brought into the palace by the Marquis of Dongshan, and there is no such food in the Shangshi Bureau." The little eunuch said tremblingly , I'm afraid that if I make a mistake, my little life will be ruined in the hands of His Royal Highness Qi Wang.

"Trash, the food that a mere marquis's mansion can produce, but the cooks of your Shangshi Bureau can't produce food, what's the use of keeping you!" Li You said angrily.

"Why should the fifth brother be angry?" Seeing Li You angry at the little eunuch of the Yishang Food Bureau in this mourning hall, Li Tai couldn't see it, and said: "This is the mourning hall of the Supreme Emperor, and my descendants are here The fifth younger brother is making such a loud noise to guard the spirit of the Supreme Emperor, if the Supreme Emperor's spirit is startled, can the fifth younger brother bear it?"

"Huh!" Li You snorted coldly, ignored Li Tai, and said to the little eunuch of the Shangshi Bureau: "I don't care about so much, since I don't have those glutinous rice balls, let me get some edible hot ones for me." Soup and hot water can be eaten, but the dry biscuits after eating for a day are really hard to swallow."

Li You's words can be said to speak out the aspirations of most people present. If Li Chengqian and others also eat dry cakes together, these people probably won't be able to say anything. strife.

Li Chengqian looked around at the people in the Hall of Spirits, and seeing how moved everyone was when they heard Li You's words, he said to the little eunuch from the Shangshi Bureau next to him: "Put away these dry cakes and take them back to Shangshi." bureau."

Li Chengqian's words were serious, and everyone in the hall thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was blaming Li You for making a loud noise in the spirit hall and disturbing the heroic spirit of the Supreme Emperor, so they all lowered their heads, not daring to show anything.

"Your Highness, this." The little eunuch looked troubled. Although the dry biscuits were unpalatable, they were good enough to satisfy their hunger. Tonight, everyone in the palace will have to keep vigil all night. , how can you stick to it.

"It's not that they are not allowed to eat. You take these dry biscuits back, return them to the pot to make them again, choke the pot with green onions, put some vegetables and stir-fry them, then put some sauce and add half a pot of water. After boiling, cut the biscuits into slices. Put the small pieces in a bowl, pour the hot soup into it, and serve it again." Li Chengqian said.
