Chapter 122 Get Out
Prince Heng's Palace.
"What are these mooncakes? They're so delicious, how come only my second brother has them? Why don't I have any in my palace?"
Prince Heng ate the sweet and fragrant mooncakes and immediately scolded Xifu and Xigui beside him. Soon, Xifu found out everything and said, "Your Highness, there is a teahouse owned by His Highness Prince Lin that sells mooncakes."
“By the way, there is also Mi Fu Ge, which also sells mooncakes,” Xifu added.
Mi Fu Pavilion?
When Prince Heng heard this, he immediately asked, "Does that shop have milk tea with taro balls?" He had been fascinated by milk tea and taro ball tofu pudding for a few days.
A while ago, spicy food was served again. I have to say, the spicy food made with tofu is so delicious that I want to eat it again.
"Yes, that's the one."
Xifu nodded affirmatively and said, "Red bean paste mooncakes, salted egg yolk mooncakes, and jujube paste and almond mooncakes."
"I bought them all."
King Heng said, gritting his teeth, "Ask the chef at Jinyu Mantang to make some more delicious food, and I will send some food over tomorrow."
…
In the Linwang Mansion and Qiutang Courtyard, the sound of the pipa rang out. A woman in a light green dress gently rubbed the strings with her fingertips, and each tone came out. It was truly a pleasing scene.
"Okay, go down."
Concubine Fang lowered her head. Her heart ached at the thought of personally sending her to the prince's bed!
The prince doesn't even touch her anymore. If no one helps her to consolidate her favor, let alone have children, I'm afraid that she, the concubine, will be outshined by that bitch Shen Lingshu!
A lowly concubine's daughter, a small concubine, can never climb over her head.
"yes."
With a soft and boneless voice, the woman walked away holding the pipa, her waist slender enough to be held in one hand, swaying gracefully.
"Master, it's not too late to change your mind now." Nanny Gui reminded in a low voice. She felt that Concubine Fang was too anxious, but this time during the house arrest, the concubine was not as calm as before.
“…”
Concubine Fang fell silent.
"Concubine."
Cao Lu's voice sounded at the door, with a hint of urgency in his words.
"Enter."
Concubine Fang spoke, Cao Lu ran in anxiously, and Concubine Fang frowned.
Aunt Gui beside her scolded, "Grass, have you learned the rules like a dog?"
"The palace has come to give rewards."
After Cao Lu's voice fell, Concubine Fang stood up excitedly. After taking two steps, Cao Lu swallowed her saliva and said quickly: "It's for Concubine Shen."
“Pah.”
Concubine Fang looked back and raised her hand to slap him.
Cao Lu was beaten so hard that she saw stars and stumbled and fell. She held on to the stool beside her to steady herself. She felt her face burning, but she didn't dare to cover her face. She said, "It seems like it was a reward for the mooncakes that the prince sent over!"
"This bitch!"
Concubine Fang slammed the table and covered her chest. She felt even more uncomfortable when she thought that the reward from the palace was for Shen Lingshu.
"Concubine."
Aunt Gui supported her. Concubine Fang raised her eyes and looked at Aunt Gui with an extremely firm look: "These days, let Lu Yao take good care of her body!"
She couldn't wait any longer.
Youlan Courtyard.
Shen Lingshu accepted the reward and couldn't help but sigh, the emperor is really generous, a few mooncakes in exchange for such a box of jewelry?
"This pearl is so big and white!"
Shen Lingshu picked up a pearl and looked at it again and again. She liked pearl jewelry very much.
"Master, the purse has been given to Eunuch Shun'en who delivered the imperial edict." Zhu Xin saw Eunuch Shun'en off and was particularly happy looking at the box of jewels.
"good."
Shen Lingshu immediately stood up and said, "Let's go and make something delicious."
Since the emperor is so generous, she has to make more delicious food to repay him.
At this time, Shen Lingshu didn't know that because the mooncakes she sent were rewarded, a mooncake craze swept through Kyoto.
The Song family is now not worried about not being able to sell mooncakes, but worried that there are not enough mooncakes to sell!
The next day, Prince Heng brought the new dishes from the Jinyu Mantang Restaurant into the palace. He kept introducing them, "Father, this is specially made for you. Orchid bear paws, made with bears from the north, simmered over a slow fire, for a rich flavor."
Bear?
The emperor frowned slightly: How many people do we need to hire to go hunting in this season?
"And this Taishi Five Snake Soup."
Prince Heng didn't notice the emperor's displeasure and continued to introduce the dish: "This is a stew made with five kinds of snake meat mixed with chicken. It tastes delicious."
The emperor took a look and said, "These must have taken a lot of effort, right?"
"I am so happy to share my father's worries." Prince Heng grinned.
The emperor tapped his hand on the table and asked, "The bear in the north, the snake in Taicheng?"
"As long as Your Majesty likes to eat it, I am willing to have people go hunting every day." Prince Heng said immediately, looking very filial.
'Pah.'
The emperor grabbed the bowl and threw it at Prince Heng, stunning him. He immediately knelt down and said, "Father, please calm down."
Prince Heng looked up in confusion: What did he do wrong?
"You know, there's been a severe flood in the south, and hundreds of thousands of people have no place to live, no food to eat, and are waiting for relief grain from the national treasury."
The emperor's powerful voice stunned Prince Heng.
"Also, in the north, although there isn't a severe drought right now, the rain is much less than in previous years. I'm afraid there will be heavy snow this winter."
The emperor looked at him, not realizing he had done anything wrong, and said, "You have the money you earned from finding bear paws and catching snakes in Taicheng. Why don't you donate some of it to those innocent people?"
"Father, I didn't make any money from this." Prince Heng said weakly, "My second brother is still making money selling mooncakes in the teahouse. How much did he donate?"
He likes gold and silver, but he is reluctant to give them out.
"Who told you that your second brother makes money selling mooncakes?"
The emperor glanced at him and said: "Your second brother and the eldest brother, the prince, have already started recruiting people to make mooncakes and send them to the south for free."
The second son is the most filial. After delivering the mooncakes yesterday, he mentioned that the prince wanted to donate mooncakes to the people in the south. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the people can feel the court's care by eating mooncakes.
The emperor knew very well that it was the second son who wanted to do this. He asked the crown prince to do it, but he did it in the crown prince's name for fear of stealing the crown prince's limelight!
"Your son, your son is also willing to give away food for free." As soon as Prince Heng finished speaking, the emperor said one word: "Get lost!"
Prince Heng ran away as fast as he could. When he ran to Weiyang Palace and cried about his father's partiality, Concubine Shu said, "Get out!"
Concubine Shu looked at Prince Heng's back as he left angrily. What sin had she committed to give birth to such a stupid boy who couldn't even flatter him!
The emperor was worried and angry about the severe floods in the south, but he made bear paw and snake soup. It would be strange if the emperor was not angry!
The Crown Prince and Prince Lin are really good at winning people's hearts.
"Second brother, I will remember what happened this time." The prince patted Prince Lin's shoulder. His father praised him for thinking about the people today.
Chu Cong said: "Brother, mooncakes are just a token of our support. The most important thing is to provide disaster relief."
It's not even harvest time yet, and this grain...
"Don't worry, my uncle has prepared a batch of food for me." Having experienced being deposed before, the prince was eager to perform well in front of his father.
