Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 504 Visiting Changsun Chong
Old turtle, also known as soft-shelled turtle and tortoise, is not only rich in nutrition, but also has the delicacy of five kinds of meat: chicken, beef, pig, deer and fish. It is known as "gourmet meat with five flavors".

In the era when Gao Ming lived, the old turtle could already be regarded as a luxury item, even if it was artificially bred, it would cost tens of dollars a catty, let alone a wild one.

As far as Gao Ming knows, wild soft-shelled turtles are as small as two to three hundred one catty, and those over three catties cost six hundred yuan per catty. As for wild soft-shelled turtles over five catties, they are already legendary. Have never seen.

Gao Ming was just a half-baked house back then, and he had to budget carefully even for a meal of chicken and pork, let alone something as high as wild old turtle, so at this moment he was more or less excited.

"Old turtle weighing five catties, I didn't expect to meet such a good thing when I came out. This trip was not in vain!"

At this time, Gao Ming was holding the old turtle, and he had a plan in his heart to turn around and go back to the palace immediately, but looking at the gate of Changsun Wuji's house, he still thought it would be better to pay a visit.

"Changsun Chong is also considered to be in bad luck, and he was in trouble. This time, I am really sorry for him. Let this old turtle share some with him, as compensation."

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately brought the old turtle to the gate of Changsun Wuji, and then slammed the door.

"Open the door! Open the door! Open the door quickly!"

Gao Ming patted the door a few times, and soon, the door opened with a "squeak", and a servant stuck his head out immediately.

"Who is it? What's the matter with my Duke?"

At this time, the servant half-closed his eyes, as if he was still asleep, and yawned as he spoke, looking very unworthy of a beating.

As the saying goes, although the servant of the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate is just a gatekeeper, he is looking at the gate of Changsun Wuji's house, so his tone of voice is full of impatience, as if as long as someone comes If the answer is not what he wants, he will close the door immediately.

This is the legendary saying "The King of Hades is easy to see, but the little devil is hard to deal with". In the past, when others encountered such a situation, they would always say good things, and send a little "meaningful" by the way, so that they can meet the eldest grandson Wuji smoothly.

But Gao Ming was different. Seeing the servant's arrogant face, he immediately slapped him.

"Do you still need your consent if I want to enter the door? Still watching? Take a look... look at your sister? Open the door quickly!"

The servant obviously didn't expect the other party to be more arrogant than him. He touched Gao Ming's forehead which was painfully slapped, and his eyes widened immediately.

"you……"

And just when he was about to get angry, he suddenly realized that the man in front of him looked familiar. It seemed that he had just met him more than half a month ago. He seemed to be...His Royal Highness?
"hiss……"

After recognizing Gao Ming, the servant immediately gasped, nodded and bowed towards Gao Ming.

"The villain's eyes are clumsy. I didn't recognize His Highness the Crown Prince, and I hope His Highness will forgive me. The villain will open the door for you!"

As he said that, he quickly opened the two front doors, and after Gao Ming came in, he immediately shouted loudly.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

Gao Ming ignored this arrogant guy, and after entering the gate, he went straight to the kitchen of the eldest grandson's house.

As a high-level foodie, Gao Ming not only likes to eat, but also likes to study the cooking methods. Even for those ingredients that he has never seen before, Gao Ming has a set of ways to deal with them.

In his opinion, it is understandable that a clever woman can't cook without rice, but it is unforgivable if you don't know how to make good things when you have good things in your hands.

Only food and love cannot be disappointed!

And when Gao Ming rushed into the kitchen of the eldest grandson's house with the old turtle in his arms, he immediately confused all the maids in the eldest grandson's house.

"Who is this?"

"Oh, what do you think he is carrying?"

"It seems to be an old turtle. The Duke doesn't like other people bringing this thing into the mansion. It's unlucky. This is going to be troublesome..."

When everyone was discussing, Gao Ming had already picked up a kitchen knife, and then raised the knife and dropped it!
"cut!"

Gao Ming's movements were very nimble. After chopping off the old turtle's head with one knife, he immediately disembowelled it, removed its internal organs, cleaned it, chopped it into small pieces, and put it in a porcelain basin to marinate with salt.

At this time, Gao Ming suddenly heard a crisp voice from beside him.

"His Royal Highness?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this voice, Gao Ming looked back immediately, and found a familiar figure, he immediately laughed.

"Haha, isn't this Xiaolu? You boiled the brown sugar of the Changsun family during this time, right? Yes, it has reached [-]% of the prince's level, haha!"

Hearing Gao Ming's praise, Xiao Lu blushed immediately, and quickly saluted Gao Ming.

"Thank you for your compliment, His Royal Highness, it is all because of your teaching that this servant girl learned this unique skill, maidservant..."

Seeing her like this, Gao Ming knew that she was going to say thank you, maybe she would kneel down and make a big salute later, so Gao Ming immediately waved to her.

"Okay, stop! You don't need to say polite words, if you really want to thank me, just do something for me, um... Go kill a chicken, preferably an old hen, wash it and send it over, hurry up !"

"Uh...yes, maidservant, let's go now!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Xiao Lu was stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized that she nodded towards Gao Ming, and then hurried out.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately grinned, humming a ditty while handling the condiments.

"Please take mine and bring it back to me, eat mine and spit it out..."

While Gao Ming was enjoying his "Happy Kitchen", Changsun Wuji was comforting Changsun Chong in the room.

"Chong'er, I have already consulted the imperial doctor before becoming a father, your injury is not serious, it will be fine if you take care of it, do you understand?"

"Uh……"

Looking at the gentle Changsun Wuji, a wry smile suddenly appeared on Changsun Chong's face, and he shook his head towards Changsun Wuji.

"Father, don't hide it from me. I know my own body. I can't let Lizhi suffer with me. Why don't you tell Your Majesty that I..."

"no!"

Before Chang Sun Chong finished speaking, Chang Sun Wuji immediately interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"This marriage was decided by your aunt. It is related to the entire eldest grandson's family. It must not be withdrawn. The old imperial doctor who knew about it has already transferred him to Taiyuan, so now only the two of us know about it. You must keep it secret. , especially the princess, don’t let her know, understand?”

"Uh……"

Seeing Changsun Wuji's tangled face, Changsun Wuji immediately patted him on the shoulder, and then smiled at him.

"You don't have to worry, you just can't have children, and it's not inhumane. The imperial doctor said that people like you can live longer than others in the future. You should be happy!"

"..."

Faced with Changsun Wuji's comfort, Changsun Chong couldn't be happy at all. Just when he didn't know how to answer Changsun Wuji, the butler's return came from outside the door.

"Master, His Royal Highness has arrived!"

Hearing the butler's words, Changsun Wuji immediately stood up with a serious face.

"This is trouble!"

In Changsun Wuji's view, Gao Ming was stripped naked with Changsun Chong and thrown outside the Xuanwu Gate this time.

Although Li Shimin said last time that he would not pursue it this time, who can guarantee that Gao Ming will not pursue it?

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji's face was solemn.

"Chong'er, the crown prince is here. I don't know if he came to Xingshi to question the crime. I have to go out to meet him for my father. You should rest first!"

Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji immediately looked at the butler who came to return.

"Where is His Royal Highness the Prince? Is it outside the door?"

"Uh……"

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, the butler was taken aback for a moment, and then bowed his hands to Changsun Wuji with a strange expression.

"Master Qi, according to the report from the sect, His Royal Highness, he has been here for a while, and he brought an old turtle when he said that he is in the kitchen now!"

"Uh……"

Hearing the housekeeper's words, Changsun Wuji was stunned.

"The old turtle is a bastard. His Royal Highness brought a bastard to humiliate the eldest grandson's family? But since he intends to humiliate the eldest grandson's family, why is he going to the kitchen? Could it be cooking?"

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji felt that his brain nerves were twisted into a twist.

"What the hell is he going to do, Prince?"

Since he couldn't figure it out, Changsun Wuji decided to go and see for himself, so he immediately waved his hand at the housekeeper.

"Go! Come to the kitchen with me!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Changsun Wuji followed the butler to the kitchen, but as soon as they reached the door of the kitchen, they heard Gao Ming singing from inside.

"Please take mine and bring it back to me, eat mine and spit it out...wash it, wash it... ouch..."

Hearing the singing, Changsun Wuji frowned again.

"It's a strange tune, and the lyrics are so straightforward, but the meaning of the lyrics is quite in line with the prince's character of revenge. It seems that the comer is not kind. What should I do?"

Just when Changsun Wuji was hesitating, he suddenly found Xiaolu hurried over with a cleaned chicken in her hand.

Seeing this scene, Changsun Wuji's expression changed, and he winked at the housekeeper.

The butler has been with Changsun Wuji for many years, so he naturally understood what he meant, and immediately called Xiaolu over.

After Xiaolu walked over, she immediately bowed to Changsun Wuji, but before she could speak, Changsun Wuji waved at her.

"Okay, don't be too polite, let me ask you, is His Royal Highness in there?"

"Yes!"

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Xiaolu immediately nodded.

"His Royal Highness is cooking, and His Royal Highness asked his servant to deliver this chicken!"

"Uh……"

Hearing Xiao Lu's words, Changsun Wuji was stunned again.

"Cooking? The prince is not here to cause trouble, but to cook?"

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji felt that the twist in his head had been twisted into two.
