"Okay. Your Highness, take a rest."
Seeing that Jiang Changyue was already out of breath, his coat was soaked with sweat. Although the sun went down in the evening, there was still some heat left on the ground. Even Duan Tingxuan didn't dare to go too far, even though the other party was only running around the small school grounds. After a lap and a half, it was far from his expectation, but this matter can't be done overnight, it has to be done slowly, right
As soon as the prince heard this, he sat down on the ground, stared at Duan Tingxuan who was holding a willow stick, gritted his teeth and said, "You are so bold, you still know that I am His Highness and I am the prince..." Before he could finish speaking, he was given the teapot in Duan Tingxuan's hand. Attracted attention, but immediately remembered that he was the prince, so he couldn't be so useless, so he snorted angrily, "Do you think that giving me wine will make me forgive you? Don't even think about it."
"What are you talking about in your sleep? I drink for you at this time, because I am afraid that the emperor and queen will not cut me off?" Duan Tingxuan curled his lips, picked up a large celadon bowl and poured a bowl: "This is herbal tea, you have a taste."
"Why don't you give me a cup of cool white tea, herbal tea? If you drink it, you'll want to go to the underworld, okay? I always drink it as medicine when I have heatstroke, it's better than drinking Huoxiang Zhengqi water. "
The prince looked at the big porcelain bowl in horror. It seemed that if it hadn't lost its strength, it would have crawled far away even if it was crawling. But Duan Tingxuan said with a leisurely smile: "Are you sure you don't want to drink it? Don't blame me for not reminding you. This is the herbal tea that Nuan Nuan specially made for you after knowing that His Highness is going to lose weight. Her craftsmanship..."
Before finishing speaking, the prince tremblingly stretched out a fat claw, took the big bowl in his hand, gulped it down, then smashed it, tasted it carefully, and finally Ha ha laughed and said: "It's delicious. It's delicious. It's sweet and cold. This should be called herbal tea, eh! It's not bad, it's really delicious. It's worthy of being a brother and sister."
While talking, he drank all the big bowl of herbal tea. Judah is full of praise. Suddenly someone shouted not far away: "Brother Prince, we are here to see you, how about it? I heard that the emperor has issued a strict order this time. Let Tingxuan supervise your exercise, let's see how Tingxuan tortured you. gone?"
The prince and Duan Tingxuan turned their heads and saw that the second prince Jiang Changning and the fourth prince Jiang Chang came hand in hand. Among the princes, the two of them are the closest to the prince. At this time, seeing the miserable appearance of the prince, both tulle gowns and trousers were soaked through. Even though the two of them were already mentally prepared, they couldn't help being stunned at this moment. They took a long breath before saying in unison: "Tingxuan is a beast. He really killed him. How could he do it so that people and gods are so angry?" thing?"
"I'm so tired that I'm dying, but it's okay. After I'm tired, I have herbal tea. It's not the herbal tea sold on the street, it's made by my siblings. It's delicious. You should try it soon." Duan Tingxuan, but seeing the teapot tightly hugging his arms, he gasped and said: "Why are you holding it? You are not a beauty, why don't you hurry up and pour two bowls for your two elder brothers to taste?"
Duan Tingxuan sneered and said: "I don't think it's necessary, anyway, the second cousin and the fourth cousin have said that I am a beast, how can a beast be with people?"
Jiang Changning and Jiang Chang forced them over together, but seeing Duan Tingxuan calm and fearless, he raised his eyebrows and asked with a half-smile, "What? Are the two brothers going to use force to snatch it?"
The second prince and the fourth prince are not fat guys like the crown prince, they all have a few strokes in their hands, but if you think about it, the sum of these strokes is not enough for my cousin to clean up. Who made him a martial arts genius since childhood? So Jiang Changning coughed, and said lightly: "Joke, the son of a thousand gold can't sit still, how could he possibly fight with you? Lord Duan..."
Before finishing speaking, Duan Tingxuan said with a smile: "You want to use the status of prince to suppress me? Huh? Look over there? The one sitting on the ground used the status of prince to suppress me just now, how is it now?"
"How can I know such a monster as you?" The second prince beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Brother Prince, this is a provocation. If you don't deal with it quickly, this will be a thing that will outshine you in the future. You should think twice." The words from the heart were just a harmless joke among the few of them, which shows the royal family's acceptance and sincerity towards Duan Tingxuan.
Sure enough, the prince hummed like a pig there: "Do you think I'm stupid? Will you fall into your plan to kill with a borrowed knife? My life is in Tingxuan's hands now, not to mention that he promised me that he would take more care of me." Some of the delicacies made by my brothers and sisters come for me to eat."
"Tingxuan, whoever sees you has a share. I'm also your cousin. You can't be partial." The second prince immediately turned his head and told him with a serious face, but he saw the young master rolled his eyes and said softly: "I'm a beast. .”
"Haha! What's the relationship between beasts? Aren't we beasts too? Confucius said that humans are just higher-level beasts. So we are all beasts." Jiang Chang raised his head to the sky and laughed, and came over to pat Duan Tingxuan affectionately on the shoulder.
Duan Tingxuan squinted at him, expressionless: "Do you dare to say your words in front of Master Cai? When did Confucius say such a thing? Do you dare to go further?"
"Well... it's fine if you know what you want." Jiang Chang coughed twice in embarrassment: Cai Dashi is the head of the Imperial Academy, and the most serious person is Fang Zheng. He is their childhood teacher. If the fourth prince dares to If you say this in front of the old man, you will be beaten like a roe deer.
"His Royal Highness, it's time to prepare the meal. Would you like to eat here? Or go to Qiushui Pavilion?" A eunuch came to ask for instructions. Qiushui Pavilion is a pavilion in the back garden lake, surrounded by water, where you eat in summer. The cool breeze blows the veil and dances lightly, which is the most pleasant.
The prince finally corrected his sitting posture, wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Just use it here. It takes two or three miles to get to Qiushui Pavilion. Who is patient?"
The eunuch agreed to leave, and someone carried a large bathtub here, and put a screen around it, and the prince bathed in it. Because the emperor made up his mind this time, the imperial hospital also cooperated very much and sent herbs for the medicinal bath. . It can not only wash away the smelly sweat, but also relax the muscles and activate the blood, so as to relieve the prince's fatigue.
After washing, I saw that the tables and chairs had been set up on the small school grounds, and by the afterglow of the setting sun, I could see a table full of vegetables. The prince touched his belly, lamenting that the best time of the day is the meal time, and walked over quickly.
Sitting down and looking at it, I was suddenly dumbfounded, I saw that the table was indeed lined with cups and plates, the whole table, but what are these? Vinegar cabbage, carrots and fungus, scallions and eggs, cold spinach... Even the soup has only bamboo shoots and no meat.
"This... is the vegetarian dish my younger siblings cooked for me?" His Royal Highness almost turned the table: Isn't it too confusing? Is this totally different from what was produced in the small kitchen of Kunning Palace that day? And all of them can be seen at a glance. What about the vegetarian chicken? What about vegetarian duck? What about vegetarian beef? That's it
"This is a vegetarian dish from the small kitchen of the East Palace. The day after tomorrow is my grandmother's birthday. Nuan Nuan is busy in the kitchen now. How can I have time to make vegetarian chicken and duck? Said, please be patient, Your Highness, and wait for the old lady." Madam's birthday is over, so I'll make it for you." Duan Tingxuan looked at the table of vegetarian dishes with a wry smile, thinking that you are still complaining? The most unlucky thing is me, why should I follow you to eat these things? Well! After eating, I have to go back quickly, maybe I can catch up with the supper in Chunfengyuan, I hope there are small wontons to eat tonight, um, fresh meat glutinous rice balls are also good.
Just thinking about it, I heard Jiang Changning and Jiang Chang complaining together: "What kind of reasoning is this? Even if we are regular customers, it's not easy to get a table of vegetarian dishes to entertain us? No, no, no meat stars at all. , Is this still called food? Brother Prince, please bear with me, brother, I will withdraw first."
"You two are disrespectful."
The prince was so angry that he almost cursed, but Duan Tingxuan said with a chuckle: "Your Highness, why don't you just let the two of them go, they are gone, so we can eat the ice cream to ourselves, with them here, I can give them some points, I am not reconciled .”
The two who had just jumped out came back after a "crush": "Ice cream? What is that? It can't be smoothie, right? Hehe, I also have that in my house."
"That's right, that's right, it's smoothies. You two, go back quickly and drink a bowl of smoothies after dinner. It's like a god's day." Before Duan Tingxuan could say anything, the prince started to push people away. It's a pity that everyone is a fox, who can play with Liaozhai
So the second prince and the fourth prince sat more steadily, facing a table of frowning vegetarian dishes from the small kitchen of the East Palace, and tried hard to swallow: Just kidding, the facts have proved that the brothers and sisters have no inferior goods, smoothies, roast duck, Beggar's chicken, white-sealed meat, snowy bean paste... which one is not the best food? Now this ice cream makes my mouth water when I hear the name, how can I miss this opportunity.
The prince also suppressed his disgust and swallowed these dishes, it was really not tasty, but what can be done? He himself knew that his health was too bad. If he didn't take any measures, he might die before he ascended the throne. Wouldn't he live up to the high expectations of his father and courtiers
So for the son, for the father, for the courtiers and the people, I have to persevere. Thinking of this, the speed of the prince's chopsticks suddenly accelerated, and the carrot between his teeth creaked, as if he was biting some mortal enemy.
For the ancients who didn't know what cream was and liked to eat sweets, there were almost no words to accurately describe the charm of ice cream, especially in this midsummer evening when there was still heat. Several people sat in a happy chair, scooped up ice cream balls with small spoons and sipped small mouthfuls, while chatting comfortably.
"Tingxuan, how are you preparing for grandma's birthday? I haven't heard you talk about it these days, so you won't prepare for it? How can I do it?" The prince took a bite of the ice cream and asked casually So, the ice cream has almost soothed the resentment from eating vegetarian dishes just now.
