Travel through different worlds and experience different lives

[From this chapter on, I will use Long Huang as my name, and no longer use Xiao Yao.]

In addition to cooking for the emperor, there were not many people in the mansion, and the food was very good every day, not as bad as the food for the servants in other mansions. The food for the servants in the princess's mansion, except for the princess, was really the best. There were big fish and meat every few days, and the princess also said that there was no need to be so frugal. Although we couldn't cook what everyone liked every day, we could cook it every few days.

During this period, everyone in the princess's mansion has gained a lot of weight, and they all like the princess very much. As long as they do their own things well every day, even if they are lazy or something, the princess will not say anything even if they see it.

Moreover, when she saw that everyone was bored, she would organize games for everyone to play. Anyway, as long as they were in the Princess's Mansion, it was really relaxing. In addition to respect for the Princess, everyone also really liked her.

The princess was young and never beat or scolded anyone. If anyone made a mistake, she would educate them. Of course, this was except for matters of principle.

In the afternoon, Long Huang started to prepare. She prepared hot pot, barbecue, grilled chicken wings, chicken legs, and chicken skeletons. Of course, after grilling, she would slice the meat with a knife.

It was served on a small plate, and each dish only took about three bites. There were so many varieties that you would be full if you couldn't finish them all.

Of course, the same thing was prepared for Fu Kang. When he came here, Long Huang did not treat him differently. Besides, the eunuch himself was very pitiful and he accompanied the emperor wholeheartedly, unless he had some bad intentions.

A lot of desserts were also made, but no matter what kind they were, they were not from the palace. The ones made in the palace might taste good, but they were not as flavorful as those made by Longhuang.

Long Huang also prepared a poison-testing bracelet for Fu Kang, a gold chain, so that he could serve the emperor better.

Of course, some elixirs were also prepared. Although they could not prolong life, they could keep people healthy and pain-free, so it would be no problem for my father-in-law to live to over a hundred years old.

This is packed in a small jade bottle, and inside it are soybean-sized grains.

There are ten pills in total. I forgot to give them to you before, so I’ll just give them all together this time.

Soon the emperor and Fu Kang came, and Long Huang quickly took them into the house and said: Father, don't worry about me here, anyone who comes in will be in trouble, hehe, my yard is full of poison, no matter how strong the martial arts are, people who come in will be exhausted.

Upon hearing this, Fu Kang asked curiously: Why is everything fine in our family?

Long Huang said speechlessly: Eunuch Fu, you forgot that you smelled the medicinal fragrance in the hall before. Just smelling it can keep you from being poisoned for a year.

By the way, this is for you. I was so busy giving the one to my father that I forgot to bring this one for you. Although it’s not as good as the one my father gave me, after you take these ten pills, I guarantee that you will be as brisk as a horse even when you are a hundred years old.

Don’t eat it now, eat it when you go back and take a bath.

When Long Huang said this, Fu Kang knew that the impurities in his body would be eliminated, so he quickly stood up to express his gratitude.

Long Yao supported Fu Kang and said: As long as you take good care of father, I will be relieved. You have been with father for the longest time and are the most trustworthy. I don’t want father to be sad because of your unwell in the future. Only when you are in good health can you serve father better, right?

Upon hearing this, the emperor laughed and said: This girl is right. If you were not feeling well, I would really be worried. Over the years, I only felt at ease when you were serving me.

Upon hearing this, Fu Kang quickly nodded and carefully put the medicine into his arms.

Then they started to serve the emperor food, but Long Huang stopped them and said: You can eat too, everyone has a small pot, don't worry.

I'll serve the food to father and explain the procedures at the same time, you two just enjoy your meals in peace.

Upon hearing this, the emperor smiled and nodded, saying: Fu Kang, then you can sit down and eat with us. Just let the maid serve the dishes so that we can know how to eat.

Fu Kang had followed the emperor for many years, so he was not too restrained, so he sat down to express his gratitude.

Long Huang began to serve the emperor the food and said: Father, you and Eunuch Fu can taste the soup first. This is a clear soup. The main purpose of drinking this soup is to make our taste buds clearer.

And this wine, I brewed it myself. I don’t know what it tastes like yet, but it should be delicious. It smells very fragrant. Father, please try it. If it’s delicious, I’ll take some back later. I brewed several large jars of wine.

The emperor and Eunuch Fu took a sip of the soup. It was so fresh and delicious.

Long Huang picked up a piece of mutton that had been cooked in the pot for the emperor, dipped it in some sauce, blew on it, and fed it to the emperor. After the emperor took a bite, he could not smell the mutton smell because it was covered by the sauce, leaving only the tender meat in his mouth.

The emperor took another sip of wine, and his mouth was filled with the aroma of wine. This wine did not feel spicy, but had a sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance in his mouth. No matter how he savored it, there was no taste of wine at all.

The emperor asked curiously: "Is this wine? Why doesn't it smell like wine at all?" Fu Kang also took a sip and nodded: "Yes, why doesn't it smell like wine at all?"

Long Huang laughed and said: "Father, the alcohol content of this wine is not high, but it is also very easy to get drunk. People who can't drink much will almost get drunk after drinking this pot, but they won't have a headache when they are drunk, they just feel like they are flying in the clouds. Just dizzy."

Because this wine is steamed with osmanthus flowers, only the mellow aroma of the wine is retained, the alcohol is evaporated, and then the jar is sealed. It can be drunk in about a month.

I have osmanthus wine, rose wine, red wine, apple wine, peach blossom wine, almost everything that's made from fruit or flowers is available here, so wait for your father to taste them slowly and see which one he likes. Then I'll keep them all for you.

After talking about wine, they began to feed the emperor. Fu Kang also took a piece of meat for himself, dipped it in the sauce and started eating.

Long Huang picked up the food piece by piece and fed it to him. There were more than a dozen kinds of sauces, and the taste was different each time. Every time a sauce was served, the emperor would be fed a spoonful of soup.

Then they started feeding them grilled chicken breasts and thighs.

There are also roasted vegetables, green peppers and many other dishes.

When the emperor had almost finished eating, she took him to sit on the couch next door and brought up various pastries. Each one was very small, many of them were as small as a fingernail.

The emperor and Fu Kang found it quite interesting. After all, the cakes were too small and each variety was different. Some were in the shape of flowers and looked just like flowers. They shook when they were picked up and they were afraid of dropping them accidentally.

Long Huang scooped it with a small silver spoon and put the small pastry in the spoon. The emperor took it and put it in his mouth and was surprised. This flower-shaped pastry did not melt in his mouth, but jumped up and down.

It crackled in the mouth like fireworks, and after a while, it melted away without any feeling.

After it melts, it smells like fresh flowers. What I just ate was peach blossoms, so it smells like peaches.

I ate another one with chrysanthemums, and it tasted like orange. Each kind of flower tastes like a different kind of fruit. Of course, there are also some that really look like fruits, such as peaches, and they tasted like different kinds of peaches.

The emperor was really enlightened here. Even Fu Kang thought these things were very interesting and, most importantly, delicious.

Long Huang made a cup of mint-flavored milk tea for the emperor and Fu Kang, and brought a plate of small cakes the size of quail eggs, with various small animals and fruits.

It tastes like milk, and then drinking a cup of mint milk tea is really comfortable. Although I don’t like sweets, I feel like I can never eat enough.

Long Huang said: Father, do you like it? If you like it, I can ask the imperial chefs to cook it for you often.

If it is summer, putting some mint here can relieve the heat, but people with cold body should not eat mint food, as it will be difficult to conceive. So it is okay for the emperor to eat it, but just don't give mint to the concubines in the harem.

Upon hearing this, the emperor asked curiously: Is there such a rule?

Long Huang said helplessly: Father, the intrigues in the harem are no less than those in the previous dynasty, or even worse. As a daughter, I can't say much. After all, that is your harem.

Historically, no matter how the concubines in the harem lost their children, it can almost be said that they were killed. This is why there are so few children in the harem.

The same applies to the descendants of ministers.

Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s just talk about what happened to me. If I hadn’t been so tough and used my mother’s promise to buy this freedom, I would have been one of them.

After all, if a woman dies, it can only be attributed to illness. No matter how she died, it is a reason.

Father's body is now like that of a young man in his twenties. As long as Father wants children, there will be more and more. If Father does not want any more children, then I will prepare a pill for Father. One pill can last for ten years.

The emperor was speechless when he heard this and said: How come you, little girl, study everything?

Long Huang laughed and said: "Isn't it that I found such a toxin in my body, so I studied it? Didn't the emperor know about the Feng Mansion? How is it? Did they suffer the consequences of their own actions? I just improved it a little bit. As long as they don't use the antidote, they won't get pregnant."

If they take the antidote, even the immortals cannot save them.

The emperor suddenly asked: Girl, do you have the antidote?

Long Huang was stunned when he heard this? What antidote?

The emperor said: Is this the antidote to the medicine you improved?

Long Huang chuckled and said nothing, changing the subject: Father, what kind of wine do you like? I will ask someone to bring it out for you.
