Chapter 323: What Kind of Meat Is This?
instantly fall into chaos. Frightened officials will be afraid of everything. Once the capital is in disarray, the already tense imperial situation, strained by the widespread famine, will be further...Chapter 323 What Kind of Meat Is This
Although he was annoyed, Long Tiande couldn't really go and get the money back.
Ten taels of silver, in this world today, could indeed buy at least three youthful and beautiful girls. But for him, Long Tiande, it wasn't even a drop in the bucket.
Watching the little eunuch leave, Long Tiande gritted his teeth and turned to his son, Long Huaiyu, saying: “This prince is clearly trying to intimidate us.”
"Father, please calm down."
Long Huaiyu said faintly, "Let him put on airs as a prince, if he wants to. What we want is to win, and there's no harm in waiting for now."
Long Tiande stared, "Are we going to wait here any longer"
Long Huaiyu spread his hands and said, "Your Highness is right. If we don't act now, we'll have to go back. Are we supposed to return to Xishan Province and wait That way, this trip would be for nothing, and we'd completely alienate Your Highness. It would be difficult to communicate with you in the future."
"He dares!"
After Long Tiande finished speaking, he felt a lack of confidence in himself.
These days, those rebels have suddenly gone quiet. He has no idea what happened.
But once the rebellion was quelled, the local forces in Xishan province were the ones who suffered. Zhao He Shan went completely mad and started attacking everyone indiscriminately.
No matter how things change later, at least right now, the situation is unfavorable, and he has fewer and fewer cards to play.
After much deliberation, Long Tiandé sighed and said to Long Huaiyu, “Sometimes I really can't tell who is older, you or me. Who is the father and who is the son It feels like you are much more mature than I am.”
Long Huaiyu's eyes were fixed on the East Palace Gate. The guards at the entrance stood tall and straight, their gazes sharp. Deep within the palace, crimson brick walls blocked the view, concealing the full extent of this residence that had housed every crown prince of the Qin Empire for the past three hundred years.
He said calmly: "I just like to think about problems from the other person's point of view.... He's playing us, isn't he"
Then let's have a contest to see who has the better patience and deeper bottom line. If you lose, you'll be disgraced. My prince...
......
"Try this."
Su Jin took a piece of meat without being able to tell what animal it was from and put it in her bowl. Li Chen said, "This meat is tender and firm, but it has a slight fishy smell, so it needs more spices to enhance the flavor. Cooked this way, it's my favorite."
Su Jinpa picked up the piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully. As expected, the meat was very firm and tender, with a delicious taste.
"What kind of meat is this" Su Jinping asked.
"The royal hunting ground, next to the field where we planted sweet potatoes. What's there in abundance" Li Chen asked with a smirk, his eyes filled with mischief.
Su Jinpa didn't notice the smirk. After thinking for a moment, a creepy creature popped into her mind, and she said in horror, "Could it be a toad"
"It's a frog."
Li Chen laughed and said, "The toad is really disgusting. It's poisonous and it's best not to eat it. But this frog is different; its meat can be eaten."
Su Jinpa exasperatedly said, "Your Highness! You!"
Saying that, Su Jinpa hurriedly opened her mouth. The maidservant beside her immediately held a handkerchief in her hand and placed it next to Su Jinpa's mouth, allowing her to spit the food into her hand.
"It's truly the case of 'wine and meat reeking at rich men's doors.' This sort of thing, if it weren't for the royal hunting grounds where commoners aren't allowed, would have been devoured long ago. You wouldn't even get a taste!"
Li Chen shook his head, picked up a frog leg and put it in his mouth. It was delicious.Chapter 915: Xu Changqing's Officialdom Philosophy
