Powerful Minister Buddha-like Sweet Wife

Chapter 82: new year

Views:

In the blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching.

The crown prince, who had already heard the news that he was going to be abolished a year ago, has suddenly done several things recently, which has won the emperor's appreciation.

On the other hand, the third prince was reprimanded several times by the emperor.

"Why do I think the prince seems to have suddenly become smarter?" the third prince asked suspiciously.

Sitting across from him, Liu Yunan was wearing an aqua blue cape and holding a blue copper gilt cloisonné enamel hand stove in his hand, looking rather cool.

"Indeed." Liu Yunan said lightly, opening his red lips, "The prince seems to have an extra pair of eyes, and he has figured out what the emperor means."

The third prince snorted coldly, with the arrogance in his eyes that looked down on the world: "I grew up with him since I was a child, I know very well what his temperament is, he has no such ability, someone must be helping him. I just don't know, Who is that person?"

Liu Yunan pondered for a moment and said, "That person is nothing more than the person beside the emperor, or the person beside you."

The third prince frowned and murmured, "Anyone around me?"

"Well. Think about it, how many ignorant advisors have you been around recently?"

The third prince thought for a while and said, "I can't think of it for the time being. I'll have someone check it later."

"it is good."

After saying this, looking at Liu Yunan's blushing face, the third prince raised his hand and touched it.

"An An, when are you going to marry this prince?"

Liu Yunan smiled, looked at the third prince seriously, and said, "No hurry."

The third prince has lost count of the same answer. This is the first time he has heard it.

"Why don't you hurry, I'm in a hurry! I dream of marrying you back, so that I can protect you from the bullying of my mother and sister in the family." The third prince held Liu Yunan's hand and said.

"Now that my mother doesn't bother me anymore, my eldest sister is married, and she seldom returns to the house. The most important thing for us at the moment is to solve the prince. Only when the prince is abolished can we really feel at ease. Besides, the king's side also—"

Before the words were finished, Liu Yunan was embraced by the third prince.

"But this prince thinks you are also very important. Wouldn't it be good if you marry me as soon as possible and have a son for me? The prince already has a son, but I haven't."

Liu Yunan's head rested on the shoulders of the third prince, and after a while, he was about to say something. When he raised his head, his eyes turned to look at several pretty women in colorful colors across the lake.

Seeing them, Liu Yunan broke free from the third prince, and said in a very gentle tone, "There are so many people who want to give birth to a son for you, so why should you worry about it?"

The third prince frowned slightly.

Liu Yunan smiled, stood up, and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back first, you don't have to sit for too long, lest you catch the cold, the New Year's Eve, the envoys from all over the world will come, don't let the prince rob the limelight."

After speaking, Liu Yunan blessed the third prince and left.

The third prince was rejected by his beloved again, his face was extremely ugly, he picked up the wine on the table and took a sip.

Soon, the people who had just been on the other side of the lake came to the Huxin Pavilion.

Seeing that the third prince was unhappy, a girl in a peach-pink cloak said, "But Miss Liu Er has made you unhappy again? She is just a concubine. If you didn't spoil her, who would look down on her? Don't be angry for her, what are you looking for and can't find it? The girls from the capital are all rushing to marry you."

Another girl dressed like Liu Yunan, wearing a light blue cape and looking rather deserted, said: "No, the second girl Liu is not very good-looking, she clearly likes you, but she still puts on an air and doesn't look at herself. identity."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the wine glass in the third prince's hand slammed to the ground.

The girls surrounding him all knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.

"Come here, send these people to this prince and send them to the Jiaofang Division, and you will not be allowed to leave your slave status for the rest of your life!"

After finishing speaking, the third prince left the Huxin Pavilion without looking at these girls from beginning to end.

Let them kneel down to beg for mercy and cry out to the heart, without any hesitation.

Liu Yunan got into the carriage after going out from the back door of the Third Prince's Mansion.

After going up, Qing He looked at her face and asked in a low voice, "Miss, why do you still insist on not marrying the third prince?"

Liu Yunan rubbed the enamel hand stove in his hand and said, "It's not time yet."

She is now in Hou's mansion, and Hou Huai'en has given her the greatest freedom, and Yin's family doesn't come to hinder her very much. She is very free. If you marry the third prince and become the third prince's concubine, you will be trapped in the third prince's mansion, manage the affairs of the mansion for him, welcome and send them to each mansion, and manage the concubines in the mansion, and have children.

Thinking about Yin's days, it really makes people feel very annoying and boring.

She knows that she is very smart, and there is no girl smarter than her in the entire dynasty, and she also knows that she is irreplaceable in the heart of the third prince.

The arrogance of the third prince, if you want, you need the best.

Therefore, she is not in a hurry, the position of the queen belongs to her.

She wants to be the queen directly after the success of the third prince.

When you become a queen, you have power in your hands, far from being comparable to a prince and concubine, and you don't have to be trapped in a back house.

With her ingenuity, the third prince will definitely let her participate in the affairs of the DPRK and China.

At that time, she will deal with the affairs of the DPRK and China and the world.

Now, there is one more thing that gradually emerges, and that is King Jin.

Suddenly there was a variable like King King, and many things caught people off guard. She had seen King Jin from a distance at a palace banquet, and the man was so hidden that he was far from being comparable to the prince and the third prince. I don't know if it's true gentle surrender or just pretending.

The third prince didn't care much about him, but she felt that this person had to be guarded.

Now it seems that the prince is faintly favored by the emperor again, and can compete with the third prince, but in fact, both sides have lost a lot of power in the battle.

It's a lose-lose situation.

And those invisible forces are like disappearing out of thin air, and no one knows where to go.

It seems that they are loyal to the emperor, but r makes people feel less loyal.

She always felt that what happened in the court recently was inseparable from King Jin.

"Go to the restaurant." Liu Yunan ordered.

"Yes, girl." Qinghe responded. She didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The restaurant run by Liu Yunan was not only the largest restaurant in the Dali Dynasty, but also a place to pass news.

She had asked people to go to King Jin's territory to check on King Jin's affairs, but she never found any useful information. I don't know if I can find something this time.

Not only is Liu Yunan busy, but Liu Tangxi is very busy at the moment.

It is now the end of the year, and this is the first New Year she and Wei Hanzhou have spent, so she attaches great importance to it.

She had sent people to buy ingredients early, and had oiled at home.

In Weijia Village, the family had no money and was reluctant to use meat when the oil was over, but this time it was different. She bought a lot of meat.

When she woke up early in the morning, she began to process the ingredients. As soon as the ingredients were processed, it was an eyesore.

"Oh, it's a coincidence that I came here, there are so many delicious food today." Fuping County Master said excitedly looking at the room full of ingredients.

Liu Tangxi: …

When she was over the oil, she hated children chatting beside her the most.

Fuyao and the others were all good-natured and didn't speak, but Fuping County Master was obviously not that good-natured and didn't listen to her.

"The smell of soot here is heavy, the county master should go out and wait." Liu Tangxi said.

"No, no, I just like to smell your cooking, it's very fragrant." Fuping County Lord refused.

Liu Tangxi glanced at Fuping County Master and continued: "This time I did a lot and used more oil. This is a new jacket for the County Master, right? It is estimated that it will soon smell of oil smoke. Your hair will definitely smell, and you will have to wash it later."

The Fuping County Lord frowned.

Forget about it, her hair is so long, it's very troublesome to wash it once.

Liu Tangxi tugged at his clothes and said, "Look, I'm wearing ordinary clothes."

The maids and maids who followed by the side also persuaded the Fuping county master.

After all, the county owner's golden branches and jade leaves are not good if they are hot.

Under the persuasion of everyone, Fuping County Lord went out.

Seeing her go out, Liu Tangxi also exploded with confidence.

She has a lot to fry today.

However, thinking that Fuping County Master was outside, Liu Tangxi planned to fry sweet potato balls for her first.

Mrs. Chen had already steamed the sweet potatoes and was putting them aside for later use.

Liu Tangxi brought it over, mashed the sweet potato into puree, added some glutinous rice flour and sugar, and kneaded it into a large dough.

Then, take a little bit of dough, roll it into a ball, and roll it with sesame seeds.

When the oil temperature is almost up, put it in the pan and fry it.

After it was fried, Liu Tangxi had people deliver the sweet potato balls to the Fuping County Lord.

Next, Liu Tangxi started to fry according to his own steps.

Fried meatballs and vegetable balls, fish, crispy chicken and more.

Just after frying the crispy chicken, the Fuping County Lord ran in again.

"Your fried balls are delicious, do you have any more?"

As soon as she finished asking, she found other delicious food. In an instant, she forgot about the sweet potato balls, she pinched something else and ate it.

Liu Tangxi persuaded her to go out and wait again.

But she didn't listen to anyone this time, and just stood there and ate.

Liu Tangxi glanced at Madam Cheng, and Madam Cheng hurriedly went to look at Fuping County Master, for fear of burning her.

Next, Liu Tangxi fried spring rolls, with bean paste and vegetables.

While eating, Fuping County Lord commented: "It's delicious, but let's fry some meat, I want to eat meat."

Liu Tangxi ignored her and started to couple.

The two pieces of lotus root are not cut off, put the prepared meat filling in the middle, flatten it, and then dip it in the batter with an egg.

Looking at the couple, Fuping County Lord suddenly felt that the spring rolls in his hands were not fragrant, and waited eagerly for Liu Tangxi to fry.

However, every time she tried to speak, Liu Tangxi glared at her.

Fuping County Master didn't dare to say anything, covering his mouth and looking at the oil pan.

Soon, the lotus root is fried.

The Fuping County Master was squeaking from the heat, but he still ate it.

While blowing, he said, "It's delicious, it's really delicious, fry it more."

Liu Tangxi didn't listen to her call. After frying some lotus root, he fryed some crispy meat.

Finally, she starts frying her favorite things.

Chicken Chop, Chicken Popcorn, Chicken Tenderloin, Chicken Thighs, Chicken Onion Rings.

The owner of Fuping County has eaten Liu Tangxi's fried chicken chop, which is delicious, but she has never eaten anything else. Although her stomach was full now, she still swallowed when she smelled it.

After Liu Tangxi was blown up, the Fuping County Master was about to cry.

"Why is this chicken popcorn so delicious? How did you fry it... The chicken fillet is also delicious, I've never eaten it... Why is it called onion rings, it's obviously chicken."

"Eat less, you will gain weight if you eat more." Liu Tangxi said, looking at Fuping County Master's rounder face than before.

The Fuping County Master was still young and didn't care at all, and said, "No, my mother said that it will be open to eat during the Chinese New Year. It is a blessing to be fat."

With that said, Fuping County Lord squeezed another chicken popcorn.

After everything was fried, Liu Tangxi lost the slightest appetite.

Looking at the room full of fried things, she planned to send some to the Yin family.

However, under the watchful eyes of Fuping County Master, she had to divide all the blasted things into three parts and gave her one part to take away.

Fuping County Master is in a good mood when he eats and can take it with him. After she returned to the mansion, they brought three large food boxes to the main courtyard.

"Mother, look, I've brought you something delicious. Uh, Father, you are also here. Brother, there is something delicious here." Fuping County Master said.

"You, why did you just come back? It's almost lunch time." Princess Jin asked with a smile.

The Fuping County Lord smiled and said, "I'm going to find Mrs. Wei. I'm full for lunch, so I don't need to eat."

As her daughter approached, Princess Jin frowned and asked, "Why do you have such a heavy smell of soot on your body, go and change your clothes quickly."

Fuping County Master explained: "I'll stay in the kitchen when she frys something today. However, there's no rush to change your clothes. You can try these delicious foods soon. They'll get cold if you don't eat them."

Fuping County Lord recommended it to the three.

King Jin smiled, stroked his daughter's hair, and said, "I said why Zhen Zhen has gained weight recently, it seems that she has been going to the Wei Mansion a lot."

"Isn't it? She thinks that the food in our house is not delicious." Princess Jin said with a smile, "My lord, you have to find a good cook for her quickly."

Fuping County Master said: "Then don't need it, even the royal chef in the palace can't compare to her, so don't look for it."

Princess Jin has never eaten anything made by Liu Tangxi, but after hearing her husband and children say it many times, she is really curious.

After cleaning her hands, she first gave King Jin a meatball, and then she also picked up a meatball and ate it.

As soon as she entered, her eyes lit up.

"It's really delicious." Princess Jin said.

King Jin swallowed the balls into his stomach in two or three times and said, "No, since I've eaten a bowl of noodles she made, this is the second time I've eaten something she made. It's really delicious."

When Xie Congli saw that his father, mother and concubine had eaten, he also wanted to make a meatball.

Fuping County Master said: "Brother, eat this, this is delicious, Mrs. Wei said it is called chicken rice flower."

"it is good."

Afterwards, the Fuping County Lord looked at the three food boxes, nine-layered things, and introduced them one by one.

Jin Wang and others are not people with heavy appetites, but Liu Tangxi's food is so delicious that the family can't stop eating together.

Princess Fuping was already full, but seeing everyone eating, she sat down and started eating again.

In the end, most of the three food boxes were eaten by them.

In particular, King Jin and Shizi ate a lot.

There is no need to eat lunch.

Princess Jin hurriedly prepared tea with oil removed to suppress the greasy taste.

"We can't eat what others make for nothing, let's have someone send something over later." Princess Jin said.

King Jin thought for a while, and said, "Let's have someone quietly send it over after dark."

Princess Jin glanced at King Jin and said, "Okay."

Early in the winter, when it got dark, Liu Tangxi woke up from a nap, and it didn't take long for the sky to darken.

When Wei Hanzhou returned to the mansion, it was already dark.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he saw Huang Fucheng walking towards him next door.

At a glance, he knew that Huang Fucheng was waiting for him.

Huang Fucheng has been complacent recently, and I heard that he is about to be promoted again.

"Congratulations, sir." Wei Hanzhou said a few words.

Although Wei Hanzhou didn't say it clearly, everyone understood it in their hearts.

Regarding the promotion, Huang Fucheng was also very proud, nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Mr. Wei is very polite."

After the two sides exchanged a few words, Huang Fucheng said: "Thank you Lord Wei for helping me and helping the prince. This is some of the prince's wishes, and I hope to accept it."

Wei Hanzhou lowered his eyes and glanced at the box in Huang Fucheng's hand, and said, "Your Excellency is very polite. The prince is the prince, and helping him is to support the orthodoxy. Wei did not do anything, and please don't take it to heart."

After speaking, Wei Hanzhou wanted to enter the manor.

Huang Fucheng looked at the box in his hand, looked at Wei Hanzhou's back, and said, "Master Wei, I still have some doubts, and I hope to clear them up."

Wei Hanzhou stopped, turned around, and said, "Master Huang, please speak."

Huang Fucheng straightened his face and said, "everyone knows that the third prince is attached to the second girl of Marquis Wynn's mansion, and unless she doesn't marry, Marquis Huai'en clearly supports the third prince. You are the son-in-law of Marquis Huai'en. , why not help the third prince, but the prince?"

Wei Hanzhou said: "my wife is indeed the daughter of Marquis Huaien. However, Mr. Huang probably doesn't know, my wife is the direct daughter, and the second girl Liu is a concubine. The two fought in the boudoir to the death or the death of the wife. It has something to do with the two of them. How could I help the third prince?"

After speaking, Wei Hanzhou bowed his hands towards Huang Fucheng and went home.

Thinking of Wei Hanzhou's attention to his wife, Huang Fucheng's eyes were full of light, and the corner of his mouth was smiling.

At this moment, Liu Tangxi was sitting on the couch in the inner room making cotton-padded clothes for Wei Hanzhou. When she heard the movement, she put down her work, greeted him with a smile, and took off his cloak.

Looking at the snow particles on the cloak, Liu Tangxi said, "Why is it snowing outside again?"

Wei Hanzhou said: "Well, let's go, but it's not big."

"Look at your frozen hands, hurry up and warm up with a bowl of soup."

"it is good."

During the meal, Liu Tangxi told Wei Hanzhou what he had done during the day, focusing on the coming of Fuping County Master.

"Fuping County Lord often comes to our mansion. You said, if others found out, would they think that you support King Jin now?"

Liu Tangxi likes Fuping County Lord very much. Although this County Lord is occasionally bossy, she is still a simple and lovely girl in essence.

Wei Hanzhou gave Liu Tangxi a chopstick of fish and said, "No."

"Why?"

Wei Hanzhou said: "The third prince cares about your second sister, and almost everyone will put me in the camp of the third prince, including the emperor. After all, if the third prince ascends the throne, you will be the queen's sister. This is a kind of extreme We have a close relationship. Others will not think that we would be so stupid to support King Jin.”

Liu Tangxi was relieved and said, "That's good. However, will she come from time to time, will it affect you?"

"Neither will." Wei Hanzhou finished picking the fishbone, and then put a chopstick of fish meat for Liu Tangxi, "My husband has never contacted King Jin and the prince in private. And the delicious food made by the lady is known to the whole capital. It's not a big deal, so it's not a big deal for the princess to come to ask the lady for food. Didn't someone ask the lady for pastry recipes before?"

Liu Tangxi suddenly realized.

Therefore, it was her heart that wanted King Jin to be on the throne, so she was a little more sensitive.

However, just after dinner, I heard that someone came to give a gift in return.

"My princess said that I would like to thank Mrs. Wei for hosting my county master. The county master has caused you trouble."

Liu Tangxi looked at Wei Hanzhou's face, Wei Hanzhou said he could accept it, and Liu Tangxi accepted it.

Although Wei Hanzhou didn't say anything, Liu Tangxi felt a little uneasy.

On the second day, she went to the dried fruit shop and asked people to make a lot of candied haws. She also matched the dried fruits in the shop, as well as some fresh fruits, and sent them to a few familiar people. These are all things she has touched, and they are naturally delicious.

In the second half of the day, she received a lot of gifts in return.

In doing so, Liu Tangxi felt that the return gift from the palace yesterday was nothing.

After all, among these people are the palace of the eldest princess, the maiden family of the crown princess, the maiden family of the queen concubine, and so on.

In the midst of everyone's welcome, the new year is here.

This was Liu Tangxi's first New Year as the mistress of the house, and it was also the most deserted New Year for her. She and Wei Hanzhou were the only people in the family. Some of the other servants were her companions, and the whole family came together, and they were reunited in the house. Some family members were still in the Hou's Mansion or the General's Mansion, so she let people go back.

Wei Hanzhou doesn't need to write couplets now, he was called by Liu Tangxi to make dumplings together.

In the evening, Liu Tangxi warmed a pot of hot wine, and the two of them sat together and drank two glasses.

Listening to the clamor outside, the room seemed more and more quiet.

Liu Tangxi originally planned to stay old, but unfortunately, his drinking capacity was too poor, and he felt a little dizzy after only two sips.

"Wei Hanzhou, what are your New Year's resolutions?" Liu Tangxi asked, looking at the snowflakes floating outside the house.

"Where's the lady?" Wei Hanzhou asked.

Liu Tangxi turned his head and said, "I hope you are safe, and I hope both of us are safe. How about you?"

Wei Hanzhou looked into Liu Tangxi's eyes and said, "I hope that my lady's wish will come true."

Liu Tangxi was dizzy, and she saw a double image on Wei Hanzhou's face. She shook her hand, touched Wei Hanzhou's face, pinched it, and said, "Little mouth is so sweet!"

Wei Hanzhou's Adam's apple moved slightly. After drinking the wine in the glass, he put down the glass, held Liu Tangxi's head, and slowly kissed the red lips.

She didn't leave until she kissed Liu Tangxi's face red and ears red, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's not as sweet as a lady's."

Liu Tangxi was even more dizzy after being kissed, raised his hand to wrap around Wei Hanzhou's neck, and said, "Let me taste yours too."

Saying that, go back and kiss.

Soon, there was the sound of crackling firecrackers outside the house, and inside the house, the pomegranate pendant, which symbolized the prosperity of many children, was swaying on the bed curtain.

After a long time, the interior and exterior returned to calm.

And the new year has come. ,,
