Immortal Venerable Cubs Manual II [Quick Transmigration]

These days, it is common for men no matter how old to take young concubines.

But when Si Xingjian asked that sentence, it seemed that this was something deviant and unreasonable.

After hearing this, Si Xingzheng felt a little unhappy.He is only 30 years old, in his prime, and he is the emperor, so why not accept a few talented women as concubines?

Isn't Song Shi, the side concubine that King Chen wanted to accept before, only 17 years old?

Thinking that King Chen is only 22 years old, Si Xingzheng didn't say what he retorted, but just explained: "I also think about my heirs."

He is not a lecherous person, otherwise, even if he could not have children, he would have been a harem beauty three thousand years ago.

Si Xingjian: "It's because of you that you don't have any heirs, and it's not because of the concubine's body. In my teens, my body hasn't grown up yet, so it's not suitable for childbearing."

Si Xingzheng was cold and angry, and walked away directly.

Later, there was a minister urging to accept the concubine, and Si Xingzheng directly refuted it with the words of King Chen: "I have passed my thirties, and all the lovers are willing to send their daughters into the palace? They may be half as old as me Woolen cloth."

This is almost saying that these ministers want to sell their daughters.

Ministers: Can you sell it if you are brought into the palace by the emperor?

Most of the dignitaries are people who want to save face, and the emperor has talked about this. If they persist, they will be ridiculed.

However, some ministers still clung to the issue of the emperor's childlessness.

Fortunately, before the winter solstice, Dong Zhaoyi was diagnosed with pregnancy.The people in Dong Zhaoyi's palace and those around the emperor were all beaming.

Zheng Xi: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the happy birthday of Lin'er!"

Si Xingzheng smiled happily and said, "We are happy together."

Zheng Xi's slack eyelids trembled twice, and he said to himself: If you weren't the emperor, the miscellaneous family would have beaten you to death with a whisk.

Saying "same joy" with one of his eunuchs, isn't that adding salt to his wound?

Si Xingzheng didn't make any publicity, but only informed the concubine's mother's family, and asked people to visit in the palace, and then sent a lot of rewards to Prince Chen's residence.

Concubine's mother's family: Isn't Dong Zhaoyi pregnant?Why do you want to appreciate Chen Wang?

In fact, from Si Xingzheng's point of view, he expected the fetus to be born safely, but more importantly, the residual poison in his body was really cleared.

This is the credit of King Chen, so it is natural to reward it.

Si Xingjian did not refuse, this is his consultation fee.

It was inconvenient to go out in winter, so Si Xingjian only took the cubs to read and write in the mansion, taught the cubs to draw and shoot arrows, and made plum cakes, etc.

When the snow was falling deeply, Si An could still ski, or let Hui Hui pull the board while he stood on it, having a great time.

On the day of the winter solstice, Si Xingjian did not enter the palace for a banquet.Rather than tossing around and going to the palace to watch cold food, he still prefers to make dumplings in the mansion with Zai Zai.

There are only the two of them as the masters of the palace, and there are no singing and dancing exercises, but Si Anzhen feels that this year's winter solstice is more lively than ever.

He likes to spend the holidays with Daddy.

After the winter solstice, it is Laba, and the taste of the new year is getting stronger and stronger.

This is the first time for Si An to celebrate the new year with his father, and he wants to participate in everything. He likes to go shopping with his father very much, and experience how the new year is celebrated outside the palace.

One day when they passed by He Liuer's hot pot restaurant, Si An wanted to taste the difference from the hot pot at home.

Si Xingjian did not refuse.

Si An tasted it, and said, "It's not as delicious as the ones made in our house."

In addition to the subjective emotional bonus, Si An's evaluation is also pertinent.As a pampered and pampered son, he has always been a foodie and never tires of food. He is used to eating delicacies made by the royal chef and the cooks of the palace, so his mouth is a bit tricky.

This kind of hot pot is not enough to surprise him.

Although he was a little disappointed, Si Anzhen never wasted food, and they only came to taste and didn't order many dishes, so he finished eating obediently.

On the way back home, Si Anzhen asked: "Father, why is the business of this store not so good, not as good as selling ice cream in summer?"

He is a thoughtful kid. Knowing that the owner of this hot pot restaurant is the same as the ice cream shop, he thought: the cold ones in summer have a very good business; the hot ones in winter, even if they are not as good, should not have no business ah.

After hearing Zai Zai's question, Si Xingjian did not explain directly, but guided Zai Zai to think: "Have you ever heard of someone selling ice cream before?"

"No." Si An shook his head, then hesitated, "But, it's just that An An hasn't heard of it, maybe someone sold it?"

Si Xingjian: "Indeed, but since you haven't heard of it, it at least shows that it's not common, right?"

Si Anzhen suddenly realized: "Is this what daddy said 'rare things are more expensive'?"

"It's rare that you still remember." Si Xingjian smiled.

This is what Zai Zai said when he was selling dandelions.

Si An raised his chin, and said frightened: "An An remembers what Dad said."

Si Xingjian boasted, and then explained: "This is one of the reasons, Sushan was not common in the first place, she changed the name, and enriched the variety, which can attract people, and the ice cream is convenient to eat, and can also be taken away. As for hot pot, there are many foods that can be replaced.”

Moreover, Sushan is almost exclusive to the nobles, but the positioning of hot pot is more embarrassing.

Aristocrats always hold banquets at home, and never go out to have dinner together, let alone this kind of soup, which is full of flavor.

It is an indecent thing for literati and nobles to get the smell of hot pot on their clothes.

Nowadays, there is no hot pot base, and the soup base is all boiled, so the cost will not be low. If you want to make money, the price should not be too low.

If ordinary people go to restaurants, they would be more willing to order roast chicken and roast duck than hot pot.

Nowadays, people are more "outsider". When holding a banquet, the meal sharing system is one person, one case. Most people can't accept several people picking food from the same pot.

And the dishes are not rich...

Due to the combination of various reasons, the business of hot pot restaurants is naturally not very good.

Si Xingjian: "Knowledge alone is not enough, you have to learn to use your brain."

Si Anzhen nodded thoughtfully, and after thinking about it, he asked again: "Then is there anything Daddy can do to change it?"

"Yes, the easiest way is to hold a hot pot banquet for the palace banquet on New Year's Eve this year."

But this is unlikely, the dishes of the palace banquet have already been set, rich but most of them are decorations - in winter, even if there is a heater in the hall, many dishes will be cold when they are served.

The previous banquet manager Xingjian could hide, but he could no longer refuse the New Year's Eve banquet.

During the night vigil in the palace of this dynasty, the emperor will hold a big banquet and invite relatives, nobles and important officials of the emperor.As a prince, he should participate.

Compared with the New Year's Eve banquet, what he didn't want to attend was the Grand Court Meeting.He has already taken a leave of absence for Yuanzheng's grand court meeting, so he must bring his cubs to attend the New Year's Eve banquet.

Soon it was the day of the Great Court Meeting, and Si Xingjian put on the winter prince's clothes in order not to stand out.

At the New Year's Eve banquet, the most interesting thing is the "Dan Nuo", also known as the Great Dancer.This is one of the customs on New Year's Eve to get rid of the plague.

Colorful masks, flying ribbons, incomprehensible chants, drums and bells... It was very lively.

Si Xingjian saw that Zai Zai was not afraid, so he let Zai Zai appreciate it, and he took a sip of pepper wine.

In the past, Si Anzhen was too young, and Si Xingzheng would not allow him to watch the Nuo for fear that he would lose his soul.

Now Si Anzhen was so excited seeing such a spectacular scene, he still leaned into Si Xingjian's ear and shouted, "It's even more lively than the one at Zhuangzi before."

Because the surroundings were too noisy, the cub unconsciously increased his voice.

Si Xingjian reluctantly responded.

On New Year's Eve, the whole palace is hung with red lanterns, burning bonfires and incense, and it is bright and fragrant everywhere.

Si Anzhen made a bold statement: "I will watch the New Year's Eve tonight!"

However, when he arrived at Sishi, his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, but he was still muttering about keeping the year old.

Si Xingjian patted Zai Zai lightly, and said with a smile, "Go to sleep."

Although Zai Zai's former residence was still preserved, Si Xingjian took Zai Zai back to the palace, and put a golden ankle wrapped in red cloth beside Zai Zai's pillow.

The next day, Si An was woken up by the sound of firecrackers.He was confused for a while before he remembered that he fell asleep during the New Year's Eve last night.

He was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he was one year older, and quickly put that shyness behind him.

After a year, he will be five years old.

Si Anzhen remembered that when he was in the palace, Uncle Huang would give him lucky money. When he felt under the pillow, he found the red cloth bag. He patted it lightly, and then carefully put the gold anklet away— — This is the New Year's money that his father gave him.

Seeing that his father was not in the room, he slowly dressed himself.

When Si Xingjian came in, he found that Zai Zai had already put on his clothes. He boasted, "It's not in vain that I'm one year older, and I can even wear my own clothes."

The winter clothes are more complicated, and he used to wear them for Zai Zai.

When the other princes and nobles were participating in the court meeting in the cold wind, Si Xingjian was holding up the peach amulet hanging from Zai Zai, and making gum teeth together with Zai Zai, making sugar figurines.

Seeing Zai Zai chewing gum, Si Xingjian persuaded: "Eat less, don't stain your teeth."

Si Anzhen's new year begins with sweet and sticky gummies.

Winter goes to spring, and it's March again.

Around Qingming, there are many new teas on the market.The emperor ordered tribute tea, rewarded the ministers with valuable tea, and the ministers held tea tasting banquets... Tea became popular.

There is a kind of tea called "Shucheng Orchid", which sells very well in the capital. It is said that this is King Chen's favorite tea.

Si Xingjian: He has a cat named Lan Lan, which doesn't mean he likes to drink tea named Shucheng Lanhua.

This year's Ching Ming snacks are popular, in addition to Qingtuan, there are more tea eggs.

But these have nothing to do with Si An, he is sad.

Although his tea tree is still alive, there are not many leaves, and his father wants to drive him away and let him live in a yard by himself.

Even the youth league made by his father couldn't make him feel better, not to mention that this year's youth league was made by the cook of the palace.

This made Si An's already unhappy mood even worse.

Is this the trouble of growing up?
