Chapter 187: Help! Month
All the sugar workshops make is white sugar.
The White Rabbit Milk Candy was made by Liu Mingqi who had nothing to do these days.
In fact, it is very simple to make milk tofu to first. Just prepare milk, gelatin, sugar and oil, and emulsify it by stirring and heating.
The gelatin is a little more troublesome, so Liu Mingqi can only choose to use fish glue with the least fishy smell instead.
Such white rabbit milk candies must have a worse taste and taste than modern ones, but in this world, they are an unprecedented delicacy.
Because it was just a small-scale laboratory finished product, Liu Mingqi made two batches and got a total of hundreds of them.
In addition to the parents in the mansion, some were given to the young ladies, the remaining Liu Mingqi brought two hundred pills and went straight to the palace to prepare for grandma, emperor and little Changle.
Princess Changle has no friends in the palace.
Even the "friends" she thought were actually trembling. No matter they were palace maids or eunuchs, they dared not regard themselves as Princess Changle's friend.
Therefore, Liu Mingqi, who is very close to her, likes to bring her delicious food, and can play with her, quickly became her best friend.
Although the seniority of this uncle and niece are there, no one will talk about this on weekdays.
Everyone hopes that Princess Changle will be happy and nothing else matters.
Emperor Jing He also reminded Liu Mingqi openly and secretly that if he was fine, he would come to the palace more often.
Of course, it is not only Princess Changle who is looking forward to Liu Mingqi coming to the palace, but many people in the palace like Prince Yu.
Because he invented a lot of good things.
There are milk tea, cakes, roast duck, etc.
The toilet paper and flushing toilet are simply a blessing to the heavens, especially for eunuchs, each of which must remember the love of Prince Yu.
From the imperial city to the imperial palace, it takes about ten minutes to ride a horse at a constant speed.
If there is no important thing, it is not a grand dynasty meeting, and most people will not enter and exit the Meridian Gate at the main gate.
The same is true for Liu Mingqi. He was walking on the side door of the west side - Xihua Gate.
As soon as he arrived in front of the palace gate, Qianniu Guard, the guard, came quickly to lead the horse to Prince Yu, "I have met Your Highness, I'm happy!"
"Oh, when did you get so polite?" Liu Mingqi smiled.
Qianniuwei is familiar with Liu Mingqi on weekdays, after all, he has been in and out so many times.
But they are not so warm usually.
"We have always been very respectful to Your Highness." The two Qianniuwei said with a righteous face.
"Your Highness, are you here to meet Your Majesty?" asked the other captain of Qianniu Guard who caught up.
There are only a few people who can meet the emperor at any time at a young age.
Logically speaking, all princes and princes are qualified to meet, but under normal circumstances, they will not disturb the emperor.
If you have any requests, just tell the Empress Dowager directly. The Empress Dowager's ears are softer than the emperor and have more power.
However, Liu Mingqi is different. He has come to the palace to look for the emperor a lot, and he basically talks about serious matters.
Liu Mingqi shook her head and said, "No, I came to meet Princess Changle."
The captain of Qianniu Guard said, "Okay, wait a moment. We are doing shift changes here. We can't move around for the time being according to the rules. I'm sorry for you!"
Liu Mingqi thought to myself that I have been to the palace so many times, but I have never encountered such a situation. What the hell is this guy doing?
But he did not refute or inquire. He nodded, then entered the palace gate and sat down in the hut on duty next to him.
It is already mid-October and the weather has become cold, especially these two days, and you can feel a little chill when walking in an empty place.
Before he could wait for a long time, the door was pushed open and a gust of cold wind brought in, which almost made the boy shiver.
When I looked up, it was Xiong Dabao wearing military uniform.
"Brother Bao, are you here to welcome me?" Liu Mingqi stood up with a smile.
"Ahem... Mingqi, come with me, I'll take you there!" Xiong Dabao did not answer Liu Mingqi, but instead had a bit of a business-related smell.
The boy was surprised.
When he left the door and walked into the palace, Liu Mingqi found that this was not the way to Princess Changle's Sihao Palace.
"Brother Bao, what's wrong?" Liu Mingqi said curiously.
He was not worried that Xiong Dabao would harm him.
To be more arrogant, even if it is the prince, it is impossible to harm him in the palace.
With the Empress Dowager here, who dares to touch her most precious grandson?
Besides, Xiong Dabao is not that kind of person.
Seeing that the guards were all behind, Xiong Dabao whispered: "Mingqi, do you do your brother a favor today, okay?"
"Okay."
Liu Mingqi nodded without asking.
Xiong Dabao then whispered again, "Go and help me save a group of people from the little devil's hands."
The boy said in surprise: "What did he do?"
The little devil is the only prince in the palace, Shou Wang Ming'an. He is seven years old this year. Because of his frequent pranks and bad personality, he privately calls him the "little devil".
This is not a good nickname, and Emperor Jing He also knows it. It is said that he also beat King Shou several times, but it seems that it has no effect.
As for the Empress Dowager's impression of him, let alone the Empress Dowager would not summon him on his own initiative if it weren't for the holidays.
It is said that last year, the Empress Dowager told the emperor that he could let King Shou leave the palace as soon as possible and give him a prince's title to peace with the world?
The emperor's own son moved out of the palace to live alone before he was a grown-up. This is no longer a reward.
The rumors may not be true, but this shows how annoying naughty kids are.
Today, Xiong Dabao said that he wanted Liu Mingqi to save people, but he could imagine the trouble.
When Xiong Dabao asked, he could only sigh: "Actually, this is not about our Qianniuwei's business, it's just..."
While walking, Xiong Dabao told the story.
In fact, things are very simple. Last night, I don’t know if it was because of the negligence of the palace maid or the eunuch. The pet dog "Qinglang" raised by King Shou ran out of his bedroom, and then this morning he found dead in the imperial garden.
The imperial physician said that the temperature suddenly dropped sharply in the past two days, so the green wolf should not be able to adapt to the temperature difference inside and outside the palace and was directly cold to death.
Not to mention his professionalism, the fact that the Qinglang died has already made King Shou angry.
King Shou is young, but he likes this mighty dog. He feeds it with meat every day. He has been raising it for more than two years, but he suddenly dies now.
You can imagine how unhappy he was.
Then King Shou's venting method was also cruel. He stripped all the seventeen palace maids and eunuchs who worked in the bedroom last night. At most, the palace maids wore a close-fitting garment, so they stood in the open space and blew the cold wind.
He said that he wanted to let them taste the suffering that the green wolf had suffered.
By now, the palace maids and eunuchs have been standing for more than half an hour and have fainted, but King Shou did not allow anyone to carry them to treat them.
After understanding the whole story, Liu Mingqi was surprised, "Brother Bao, isn't it enough to report this to Your Majesty? King Shou still dares to disobey the Holy Order?"
"Shi Wei, Xi Qiang, Qiyan and Nanzhao envoys all wrote a letter saying that they would come to celebrate His Majesty's birthday in the twelfth lunar month this year and congratulate His Majesty on the New Year. His Majesty was discussing with the Prime Minister and the other party what medicine they sold in the gourd. It was not an important matter and no disturbance was allowed." Xiong Dabao said, "Besides, Your Majesty must have sent someone for the first time, and King Shou would not pay attention to it at all. I was worried that it would be too late to delay the time after a while. If someone died, it would be bad."
Liu Mingqi said, "What if I don't come? Who would you look for?"
It's a coincidence. Could it be that Xiong Dabao has the ability to predict the future and knows that Liu Mingqi is coming, so he asked him to save the person?
"Actually, I'm not waiting for you." Xiong Dabao scratched his head, "I'm going to ask the Queen Mother. Although this will completely offend His Highness Shou King, it's impossible. But Lao Li, who guards Xihuamen, saw you, so he ran over and told me..."
Understood.
No wonder the captain of the guard just now was so hesitant. It turned out to be for this matter.
Liu Mingqi nodded, "Let's go, I'll see how cruel the little devil is!"
To be cruel is actually just a joke.
Although King Shou was naughty, he would never dare to take human life aside. Compared with the brutal and cruel emperors in history, I don’t know how bad it is.
Xiong Dabao was overjoyed, "Mingqi, you are so nice! I thank you on their behalf!"
"I didn't expect that the relationship between you Qianniuwei and the palace maids and eunuchs is pretty good." Liu Mingqi teased, "Aren't you afraid that others will sue you?"
The guards in the palace cannot interact with the palace maids and eunuchs according to the rules.
Xiong Dabao smiled bitterly when he heard this, "They are all familiar people on weekdays. Although they are not friends, they are in danger when they see that their lives are in danger. How can everyone not be sad about the death of a rabbit?"
Liu Mingqi said: "King Shou will not become your guardian master. You will go out in a few years."
Xiong Dabao said, "Everyone thinks so. This little devil will leave the palace early, and everyone will be fine."
King Shou is seven years old this year, and the prince is twenty-seven years old. No matter from any perspective, King Shou cannot replace the position of the prince.
Unless it is the prince and the accident happens like his elder brother.
But this possibility is very, very small. If the prince is trapped in the same pit, the civil and military officials in the court will be unable to put their faces.
For example, when he went on a patrol this time, there were 2,000 people in the Yulin Guard, and then he sent General Zhang Tie, the General of the Cavalry Guard, to lead 5,000 troops to escort him. In addition, 10,000 people from General Tang Hui of Longteng Guard were also around the prince.
Compared with the security of the former prince on patrol, the security is now three times tighter.
Not to mention tens of thousands of horse thieves, even twenty or thirty thousand horse thieves, they can only kneel down and sing to conquer when they come.
Therefore, the ending of King Shou can only be named Prince and left the palace after he became an adult and live his own life.
After a few more years, life will be beautiful again.
This is the common idea of the palace guards, palace maids and eunuchs.
