[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

The event of the prince's accident finally ended with the cleaning of the palace as the apparent final outcome, and Jin Yiwei entered the palace, especially the East Palace, and sent two additional teams to protect the prince's safety.

Although there were brocade guards in the imperial palace before, that kind of brocade guards was no different from the usual imperial guards, at most they had a little more power of review.However, the newcomers to the palace are completely different from the previous half-barrels of water, and they are guards with real power.

There are actually many people who disagree with Emperor Hongzhi's order, including Liu Jian.After Emperor Hongzhi had a secret conversation with him for an entire hour, this matter went on without any resistance.After the dust settled, no one had much to say.After all, he is the prince. The emperor only has such a son, so it is natural to be pampered.

In the East Palace, apart from the inconvenience caused by the injury, the prince is very satisfied with his current life.

The specific manifestation is that there is no need to go to Duan Jingdian, no need to do homework, and eat Jiao Shizhi's cooking every day.In fact, the last one, Jiao Shizhi, deeply felt that there was something wrong with the prince's taste buds, and the chef in the small kitchen was so angry that he almost hanged himself.

"Your Highness, are you tired? Do you need to lie down and rest?" Liu Jin asked cautiously.The prince is indeed fine, and the eunuchs who served him personally were fined three years of monthly salary, and then they got unlucky for their buttocks, but at least they saved their lives.And because the prince is unwell now, their execution was postponed for one month, and they took turns to be boarded, and it was Gu Dayong who fell this month.

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, and didn't intend to pay attention to such a stupid question. He lazily raised his head and stared at the broken light on the top. It was the light of the golden sun shining through the leaves. The light is also wobbly, with a strange beauty.The little prince who was lying on the chair wrapped in a cloak was slightly pale, and there were faint black marks under his eyelids. He hadn't had a good rest these days.

After all, the prince has suffered from cold and is young.The imperial physician had specially instructed to drink the recuperating potion every day, but Zhu Houzhao was not a self-seeking temper, and now he was in a hurry, fighting wits with several eunuchs every day, tossing them until they turned pale.

"Why hasn't Shizhi come back yet?" Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes and said, with a lazy voice, holding a dry branch in his hand and fiddled with it on the ground at random, making a mess that even he himself didn't know what it was ghost character.

Gao Feng stood by, pulled up the cloak that had slid down with the prince's movements, and replied: "Your Highness, Mr. Jiao has gone to the small kitchen, and he said he will be back in a while."

After the prince fell into the water, the people in the East Palace clearly felt that the previously stable situation had completely changed.If it is said that Liu Jin and others were indispensable people around the prince in the past, this situation has not caused any real change after Jiao Shizhi's arrival.But after His Royal Highness woke up, the people in the East Palace soon discovered that this indispensable person has now become Jiao Shizhi.

Or should I put it this way, Liu Jin and others thought they were indispensable in the past, but now the prince has shown with the actual situation that they are self-indulgent.

No one knows how the prince thinks about things before and after falling into the water.However, since then he has transferred a few more people from the servants to serve, among them is Lehua who came to serve after Liu Jin and others were beaten last time.Although these few people only served the crown prince and were not involved in all aspects of the Eastern Palace, they had already sounded the alarm for several eunuchs.

"Your Highness, Master Jiao is back." Lehua carefully placed the tea tray on the table next to the prince, then crossed his hands on his stomach, and said respectfully.Zhu Houzhao opened his eyes and glanced at him, his brows and eyes suddenly curved. He was very happy to hear the news.

Jiao Shizhi didn't keep the prince waiting, and walked in quickly. Seeing the prince lying under the tree in the courtyard, a gentle smile appeared in his eyes, "Your Highness seems to be enjoying himself very much."

Zhu Houzhao moved his body and snorted twice to express his agreement, "You have been away for a longer time today."

Jiao Shizhi blinked his eyes. He didn't expect the prince to have researched this kind of thing. After thinking about it, he wisely chose not to answer, took the food box from Xiao Dezi who had been following him all the time, and chuckled He said: "Your Highness, I have made a medicinal meal for you, but it is the first time I am involved, I really don't know the taste."

Medicinal diet?Zhu Houzhao sat up and looked at the small earthen jar with smoke floating in Jiao Shizhi's hand, and blinked curiously, "What did you do?"

"I went to apply for the hall official of the Imperial Hospital. It is said that the taste of this medicine will be less, but, uh, maybe not very successful." Jiao Shizhi said hesitantly. He failed twice in the small kitchen. Chef Zhang Almost kicked him out.If Donggong hadn't sent someone to remind him, maybe he would try again.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were bright, and he stretched out his hand to express his desire, "At least give me a look, I haven't seen anything since you raised it so high." Jiao Shizhi put the small crock on the table next to him, lifted the lid and let Let it dry, it is too hot.Although he won't be able to eat for a while, the prince is obviously in a good mood. He threw away the dead branches in his hand, and called Gao Feng over, "Bring the parrot that Liu Jin presented earlier."

Gao Feng took the order and left.A few days ago, Liu Jin asked someone to find a pair of parrots from outside the palace to relieve the crown prince's boredom.Zhu Houzhao listened to Qu'er and never liked orthodox operas such as Southern Opera and Kunqiang, preferring folk songs, which are free and undisciplined and practical.

Gao Feng was soon brought over by someone. In the reddish-brown birdcage, a pair of parrots were standing on the stand bars, looking out curiously with their small round eyes. Suddenly, a smaller bird looked up. Neck shouted: "Prince."

The bigger parrot next to him immediately called out, "Your Highness."

The smaller bird then opened its beak, "Okay."

The singing and harmonizing were so smoothly matched that Jiao Shizhi couldn't help showing a slight smile.Zhu Houzhao whistled, and the two birds sang a little song bouncing around. Although it was not as moving as a human voice, it also had a sense of ups and downs.After they finished singing, Zhu Houzhao asked people to stay and eat.

He reached out to touch the small earthen jar, and when he found that it was no longer hot, he picked it up himself without pretending to be someone else's hand.Jiao Shizhi said: "Your Highness, you should wait a little longer, so as not to burn your mouth."

Zhu Houzhao shook his head, stretched out his hand to stir the medicinal meal, and finished eating quickly.

Liu Jin and others: This speed is too shameful!When I thought about how they were dying before, I suddenly felt a pain in my heart.

Jiao Shizhi was also taken aback, and quickly squatted down, for fear that His Highness would choke, "Your Highness, are you okay?" The prince boldly wiped his mouth, put the crock back, and said with a smile: "The smell is delicious." It’s okay, but we still need to work hard.” His speed just now has a lot of competition, if it tastes good, it’s not a disadvantage, if it’s not good, it’s better to eat it early and be born sooner.

Jiao Shizhi obviously saw through the prince's thoughts, and said helplessly: "Your Highness, just throw it away if it doesn't taste good. You don't have to force yourself. I'll let Chef Liu be responsible." He knew his craftsmanship well, and at most he could Excuse me, today is just an experiment, let him test the water first, if the prince can accept it, then let the small kitchen do it.

Zhu Hou took care of the rare evergreen tree on the top, and said casually: "I don't drink what they make."

Jiao Shizhi:

The prince seemed to be reminded of something by Jiao Shizhi's words, and suddenly his face was a little excited, "Shizhi, why don't we open a shop outside the palace, and you will be in charge of cooking, and I will attract customers in front. what do you think?"

Jiao Shizhi wanted to say that he couldn't leave the palace, wanted to say that the dignified prince should not show his face outside, but in the end he just twitched the corners of his mouth, sighed and said, "Your Highness, I will pay for it to death."

Zhu Houzhao was dissatisfied, touched his face, and muttered, "Could it be that my face can't attract customers?"

Jiao Shizhi chuckled, the prince is actually very good-looking, but he is too young and hasn't grown up yet.Under the long and slightly curled eyelashes, the clear eyes often have a mischievous smile. The delicate face likes to be gentle in disguise. When the eyebrows are raised, he often has weird ideas.If he was a few years older, he would definitely be a man with sword eyebrows and star eyes, handsome and flawless.

"It's not because of His Highness's appearance, it's because of the lack of low-level skills, I'm afraid the guests won't like it." He explained softly, and Zhu Houzhao gave him an innocent glance, "I think it's okay, don't be too inferior."

Jiao Shizhi was silent for a moment, and could only smile.

The breeze is blowing, with the unique coldness of cold winter, but there is still a bit of coldness in the cold, mixed with a sense of freshness. This is a sunny day that has not been seen for a long time, without the chaos of heavy snow.

"It's really great." After a long time, Zhu Houzhao said suddenly, with a calm face and wisdom beyond his age.With a smile in his eyes, he looked at Jiao Shizhi quietly, and said softly: "Your smile is beautiful." This is the second time the prince said that his smile is beautiful.

——It would be good if you always smile, you look good when you smile.

The words from the last time are still in my ears, and thinking about it again like this brings a little warmth that I couldn't detect at the time.

"Your Highness looks good when you smile." Jiao Shizhi said softly, with a gentle face.

Zhu Houzhao looked disdainful, and said bitterly: "Of course I look good when I smile, I want you to smile more."

Very good, very strong confidence.
