Wind rises time and space gate

In the palace kitchen, Chef Huang led everyone in the kitchen and stared at the things sent by Eunuch Cao in the bamboo basket in a daze.

Is this shiny purple thing called an eggplant?Is it a vegetable?Why have I never seen it before?Is it because the imperial mausoleum is a blessed land that can grow vegetables that no one else has seen?

Chef Huang looked at the people beside him: "Do you remember all the methods that Eunuch Cao just mentioned?"

The helpers nodded hurriedly: "Remember, remember, Eunuch Cao said several things. Our cooking is not as good as yours, and our memory is not as good as..." They hurriedly bit their tongues.

No, no, no, Chef Huang has a better memory than them.

Chef Huang didn't pay much attention. After watching the eggplant, he ordered the assistant cooks on the side to make various preparations.

He muttered to himself while looking for his big kitchen knife. He didn't know where His Highness got it from, he had never seen it before, and he told him various ways to make it.

Is it really that delicious?It's shiny and the skin is a bit hard, but I don't dare to pinch it for fear of crushing it.It looks like a melon but not a melon, and looks like a bean but not a bean.

Chef Huang cut the roll blade as required, and then cut it into thin strips. He couldn't help but pick up a piece and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice... Bah, bah, bah, what a taste!Is this really delicious?
Why don't you try something first?There are only a few, so don’t waste it.

But he didn't dare not follow the King of Yue's request.No matter, it's not his fault that it doesn't taste good, he just did as he was asked.

As a result, as soon as the oil was pressed, the unique fragrance of eggplant wafted out, attracting everyone in the kitchen to come around and take a look.After finishing the braised eggplant dish, the smell became even more fragrant, making everyone drool.

Of course, Chef Huang has the right to test dishes. He carefully picked up a piece and put it into his mouth. Hiss, Niangle, this eggplant is so delicious!

Looking at the plate of eggplant, my eyes glowed green.

Seeing him like this, how can the kitchen helper not understand.He also stared at the plate of eggplant with green eyes.I wonder if His Highness can taste a chopstick from them.

Later, when the salted fish in the casserole was cooked, the smell spread all over the room, and there was the sound of slobbering everywhere.

The people in the Lin family were also slobbering.

"Grandpa, Dongxue is hungry. When can we eat?" While talking to grandpa, Dongxue's eyes still fell on the eggplant dishes.

Seeing that his grandchildren were all slobbering, Lin Qiushan asked Mr. Geng and his two daughters-in-law to serve food to the family.

"Don't say you've eaten this eggplant. You'll know it's delicious just by smelling it."

"Can the seeds given by Fourth Sister be unpalatable?"

"This is the first time we got it. Our family didn't even make it, so we sent some to His Highness. Unexpectedly, His Highness asked the kitchen to prepare it and sent it to us."

Lin Qiushan took a chopstick first, and after finishing the meal, his eyes lit up: "It's delicious!" He hurriedly greeted his children and grandchildren to eat, "This is so soft, and it can also be eaten!"

"It's delicious, grandpa, it's delicious!"

Dongxue was young and couldn't eat anything too hard, so this soft eggplant immediately became her favorite. "I still have to eat winter snow. I have to eat it every day!"

"Okay, I've been cooking for Dongxue these past few days." Mr. Geng looked at her little granddaughter dotingly.The third son was not at home, and she and the old man felt very sorry for Hexue and Hele.And there were a lot of eggplants planted at the beginning.

"I thought I wouldn't be able to eat them before the frost, but I didn't expect them to be quite bearable. One of them is so big." Lin Qiushan was very satisfied with the meal.He likes all kinds of eggplants on the table.This eggplant is really delicious.

"This salted fish and eggplant stew is so delicious. We still have some at home, so we will learn how to make them and eat them. We also have some salted meats, and we will also stew them and eat them."

Mr. Geng and his two daughters-in-law nodded in agreement and ate without raising their heads.

The whole family finished the meal happily, feeling extremely satisfied, patting their bellies and burping. "Mom, look at what kind of seeds Fourth Sister gave me. Let's try planting them." The food over there is really delicious.

After Lin Jingping finished speaking, he did not forget to confess: "Mom, you must remember to save the seeds of this eggplant." Don't miss it next year.

"You don't have to say it." Geng and his two daughters-in-law packed up, found their hoes, and went to the vegetable garden to take care of the eggplants. Lin Qiushan followed behind.

The couple looked at the eggplants in the vegetable garden like they were babies.While taking care of the eggplants, he talked: "There has been no news about Fourth Sister and Chang Zhi for a month, and I don't know how they are doing." Geng was a little worried.

How could Lin Qiushan not be worried?Every time he got off work, he would take a detour to the palace, hoping to hear His Highness calling him to talk about Chang Zhi and Xi'er's situation.

"Your Highness said that if you are busy with schoolwork, you will give us news when you have some free time." He comforted his old wife.

From that day on, whenever the family picked eggplants, they would give one to Zhao Guangyuan.Zhao Guangyuan ate various eggplants of different flavors made in the kitchen, thinking about eating with his mother and son.

The good times are always short, and he becomes alone again.

He was the only one at the dinner table.

The eggplant tasted very good, and the one made by Chef Huang even tasted better than what he had ever tasted, but he felt it was tasteless and felt empty.

After repairing the dragon veins, the high priest Zhao Gang entered the palace.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the collapsed Dragon Qi has been repaired and consolidated, and is stronger than before. The Emperor must be blessed by the heavens and be blessed by his ancestors."

After hearing this, Emperor Zhizheng felt relieved and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I love you. I will reward you greatly for your great contribution." Then he ordered the servants on the side to prepare gold, silver, brocade, silk and other items.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Zhao Gang knelt down to thank him.

He also said: "Your Majesty, the King of Yue has been guarding the mausoleum in the imperial mausoleum for six years. I have received a sign from the heavens that the king of Yue has been freed from all sins. If he continues to stay in the mausoleum, the heavenly signs may change. Tianshou Mountain is where the Dragon Vein of Daqi is located. , absorbing the brilliance of the sun and the moon, the dragon energy has become stronger recently. The King of Yue is the emperor's legitimate son, and he is the direct descendant of the emperor. If he continues to stay in the imperial mausoleum, there may be changes in the hexagram."

Zhao Gang knew very well what Emperor Zhizheng was thinking. At the beginning, he just said that the former prince was destined by fate, and the emperor allowed others to assassinate the prince.Now he is basically saying that the King of Yue will absorb more dragon energy in the imperial mausoleum. With the blessing of his ancestors, the emperor will definitely not watch.

Zhao Gang didn't even raise his head, looking down at the golden floor tiles.

Emperor Zhizheng sat on the dragon throne, his eyes falling on Zhao Gang's head.

Zhao Gang dug his fingers into the floor tiles without moving.

"Then what do you think, Aiqing, if I change the place for the King of Yue? How about changing it to the ancestral land of the Zhao family?"

Zhao Gang's heart trembled, could it be self-defeating?
"I don't dare to make unreasonable opinions. I just tell the truth to the heavenly minister. As for the arrangements of the King of Yue, I believe that the emperor has his own arrangements."

After a while, Emperor Zhizheng just said lightly, "Thank you."

"Yes. The minister will leave."

Zhao Gang came out of the main hall, clenched his fists, raised his head and looked in the direction of the imperial mausoleum, his eyes worried.The emperor will not really send the King of Yue to his ancestral land, right?Then he was really self-defeating.

Zhao Gang left the palace worriedly.

In the East Palace, the prince and a group of staff were discussing matters.

"Your Highness, Your Highness the Third and Fourth Highnesses have been making frequent moves these days and have placed many people in the Sixth Department. I wonder if Your Highness has any countermeasures?"
