Chapter 37 Shields
“I’ll make you another one with caramel sugar and osmanthus flavor!”
Little Shota poured water into the plate, put some caramel in it, and ran to the tree to pick a few fresh osmanthus petals.
Sprinkle a handful of saltpeter in, and the candy-sweet osmanthus-flavored popsicles are ready!
"Wow! So beautiful!"
Looking at the crystal clear popsicles mixed with petals, Wang Wan's eyes straightened.
After all, she is still a little girl, and she can’t move when she sees beautiful and delicious things.
"Feiyu, how did you do this?"
Ying Yinman licked the popsicle in her hand and asked curiously.
"This is called saltpeter powder. As long as you sprinkle it into water, it will condense into ice. Add your favorite flavor and it will become a delicious popsicle!"
Ko Shota pointed to a small packet of powder and explained.
"So that's it, the emperor's brother is really smart!"
Ying Yinman looked delighted.
Once you learn how to make popsicles, you can eat ice pops every day to cool down!
"I want more!"
Wang Wan finished the popsicle in a short time, licking her lips like a young lady asking for it.
This scene can't help but make young shota think about it very much.
"Make me another one quickly!"
"Although the popsicles are refreshing and relieve the heat, don't eat too much. If you eat too much, you will have diarrhea!"
Little Shota rolled her eyes.
"..."
Wang Wan also felt that she had lost her composure and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
How could the daughter of a dignified Marquis of Wu be like a wild girl who has never seen the world, eating delicious food whenever she sees it, and asking for more after eating? It's so unruly!
"it was all your fault!"
How could a naughty little girl admit her mistake?
He rolled his eyes and accused the young lady confidently!
"What? Blame me?"
"I made popsicles for you with good intentions to relieve the heat, but you actually blame me?"
Ying Feiyu rolled his eyes.
"Of course it's your fault. If you hadn't been rude, why would I have chased you? If I hadn't chased you, I wouldn't have been hot, and I wouldn't have eaten so much ice!"
Wang Wan found a perfect excuse for her rudeness.
Xiaozheng was helpless.
really!
You can’t reason with women!
"Now that the summer heat is gone, why don't we still compete?"
"Compare! Of course!"
Even though she already knew that her speed was not at the same level as this kid's, Wang Wan still made a fist-clenching gesture to save face.
"bring it on!"
Xiao Zhengtai swooped a hundred meters away, and Wang Wan followed behind with a huff.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even catch the little shota's clothes, so he had to make an appointment to fight another day!
As soon as Wang Wan left, the young eunuch Mingde came to see the young lady and said that the iron pot had been made and delivered to the palace.
"What iron pot?"
"It's just a kitchen utensil. If my pretty sister is interested, you can go and have a look!"
Xiao Zhengtai waved to Ying Yinman.
Due to the backwardness of iron smelting technology and the difficulty of mining mineral deposits, iron tools were not widely used in this era!
It was not until the Han Dynasty that the prototype of the iron pot appeared!
Whatever you say today should open the eyes of that old guy Ying Zheng, and maybe you can get some rewards!
"Yeah!"
Ying Yinman clapped her hands like a curious baby.
"Have all the ingredients been prepared in the imperial dining room?"
"Go back, young master, it's ready!"
"Go to the emperor's place and call him too!"
"yes!"
Fusu was the one who left the deepest impression on the young lady after she entered the palace. Since she was going to show off her cooking skills today, she naturally had to bring her with her!
This kid was really miserable in history. Hu Hai faked an imperial edict, and this kid committed suicide directly.
It can be seen that his character has many axes!
It is precisely this kind of character that Mr. Shota likes so much!
He hates to see people like Hu Hai who are versatile and adaptable to the wind!
…
In a very hidden teahouse in Xianyang City, Li Si, Zhao Cheng, Feng Jie and other court officials gathered together, holding teacups and looking solemn.
Normally, ministers cannot gather together without any reason, lest His Majesty find out and become suspicious.
But there is no way, what happened this morning was too shocking and related to each of them, so they came here!
"Tell me, is this young master of His Majesty's blood? Why is he so weird? The things he proposed are all things we have never heard of before?"
Feng Jie, the censor doctor, asked in a serious tone after taking a sip of hot tea.
"The young master was brought back by His Majesty from his eastward tour. We didn't go with him. Who knows what will happen?"
Li Si has always been doubtful about this matter.
If it’s just an ordinary child, that’s it. One more is not too much, one less is not too much!
But this child came up with a lot of incredible things and put forward many shocking opinions!
Especially today, a retirement system has been proposed.
If he had followed his opinion, all the ministers in the teahouse would have retired today!
Even if the court continues to distribute salaries, who in the official position is really just doing it for the meager salary?
"Your Majesty was on an eastward tour. He said for no reason that my brother had united with the young master Hu Hai to rebel and had him executed. But who saw it? Who could testify? If not, His Majesty just didn't like my brother and found an excuse to eradicate him!"
The doctor ordered Zhao Cheng to hold the tea cup tightly and said with an angry look.
He is Zhao Gao's younger brother, and it is precisely because of Zhao Gao's power that he can become the Zhonglangling!
Now that his backer is gone, it’s still unclear how long he can be the lieutenant!
"That's right, if I look at it, the failure to protect that child is a shield used by His Majesty to eradicate us!"
General Li Xin also agreed with him.
Other than that, there is really no better explanation!
"General Li, don't say nonsense, or you may lose your head!"
Li Si quickly stopped.
Although they all have such conjectures at this time, they cannot say it easily!
This is a great crime of disrespect!
"Prime Minister, please tell me, what happened to that child? There was no news before, and suddenly he appeared and proposed a retirement system? Could it be that we have worked hard for Da Qin all our lives, and we have to get out when we get old?
?”
"You can't say that, after all, His Majesty hasn't agreed yet!"
Li Si frowned.
He can’t see through this either!
"I don't agree now, but that doesn't mean I won't agree in the future. According to me, today is just an agreement between His Majesty and the Young Master to test us!"
"Yes, I agree with this statement. I guess His Majesty wants to see our reaction today and then decide whether to implement this policy or not!"
Zhao Cheng and Li Xin insisted that these things were caused by Ying Zheng.
"It's too early to say this now. I have arranged people around His Majesty and the young master to ask them to pay attention to the movements in the palace and report to us as soon as there is any news!"
Li Si has a calm personality and will not even say the wrong thing until he has accurate information.
Unlike those guys like Zhao Cheng and Li Xin, who have strong limbs and simple minds, they always say that it is His Majesty's fault. Once the wall has ears, there is no need for His Majesty to plan to eradicate them.
