The capital is a melon field, I happily eat melons

Prince Xin hesitated for a moment and wanted to go out to help, but when he looked at the two chickens in his hands and the mushrooms in his pocket, he gave up the idea.

But don’t let the time come when you go out to help and fail to even keep these things, then your royal brother would be punished in vain.

Fortunately, this patch was not very big and the grass was pulled out in no time.

It was impossible for the Queen to let the Emperor pull weeds here all the time, so she just gave him a slight punishment.

Watching the queen leave, the emperor was obviously relieved.

Today's punishment is relatively good. At least he is not forced to exercise or run.

"Eleventh! Are you still there?"

As soon as the emperor called out, Prince Xin came out quickly, "I'm here, I'm here, my brother, are you okay?"

The emperor patted the dust off his body cheerfully, "Nothing can happen. Your sister-in-law is reluctant to really punish me."

Seeing his royal brother so cheerful, Prince Xin felt extremely complicated.

My brother, this emperor is so different from what I imagined. He is an emperor above everyone else in the outside world, but why does his status seem so low in the harem?

"Come on, let's go find a remote palace to eat roast chicken. My brother has ignored you for so many years. Today I will let you taste the chicken raised by your sister-in-law."

Prince Xin: ...Thank you so much.

Brother, find a remote, uninhabited palace and start making a fire to cook.

Looking at the emperor's skillful movements, we can tell that he does this kind of thing a lot in his daily life. He even has a little eunuch come to deliver firewood.

"The most important thing about roasting chicken is the heat. This is my experience. You must have eaten a lot of roasted food when you were on the march and fighting outside."

Prince Xin recalled his past military campaigns and answered, "I have indeed eaten a lot, but at that time I ate with my soldiers, and the food was not very good."

The main reason was that the national treasury was empty at that time. Even if more than half of the silver in the national treasury was used for military expenses, there was not much left. At that time, Prince Xin often took his soldiers to the mountains to hunt wild game, just to have a taste of meat.

At that time, he always led the way in everything he did, suffered all kinds of hardships, and even ate tree roots when he was hungry. After all, it was good enough to fill his stomach during a war.

Moreover, there was a King of Qi in control of the rear at that time, so it was uncertain whether the food and grass could be delivered to them.

The emperor also thought of the difficult life at that time, "You really had a hard time back then, but fortunately you are still here, otherwise my Dayong would be in danger."

"But you were really too honest at that time."

Prince Xin smiled and said nothing. He was indeed very honest, but there was nothing he could do about it. Recently, his wife and children were in the capital. The power of Prince Qi in the capital was too great. If he did anything to resist, the ones who would be most in danger would be his wife and children.

Moreover, the emperor's brother did not have a deep impression of him at that time.

The emperor skillfully roasted the chicken and mushrooms while saying, "In fact, when I was young, I also thought about going to the battlefield. After all, I didn't think about becoming an emperor at that time. At that time, I read a lot of books about the scenery outside the Great Wall and the battlefield. What man doesn't have the dream of galloping on the battlefield?"

When he was young, he was quite good at martial arts and was ranked among the princes.

Seeing that the emperor was really curious, Prince Xin told him some things on the battlefield.

There were sad stories and happy ones, and the emperor listened with great interest.

It is impossible for him to go to the battlefield in this lifetime. Even if he wanted to lead the army in person, the ministers would probably not agree.

They have two war gods in Dayong, the north and the south, so there is no need for him to lead the army in person.

Among the princes, the third one has the best martial arts and is quite talented as a general. Although he does not seem to be very smart, he still has some talent in this area. His wife is also very capable.

He had sent the third brother out to suppress bandits before. The third brother was brave and resourceful in military affairs, and had his own ideas.

When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, Prince Xin and Prince Zhennan are not too old and can still hold on. At that time, let them take care of the third brother and train him up.

This generation has Prince Xin and Prince Zhennan, and the next generation has the third brother, so there is nothing to worry about.

The two brothers ate the two chickens with relish, one each. Prince Xin also believed what the emperor said about the chickens raised by the queen. After all, they were really delicious.

But he only ate the meat of the chicken, remembering that he kept two wings and two legs.

The emperor knew what he was thinking at a glance, "I'm going to take these back to feed the princess and children. Not bad, not bad, you as a husband and father have done a good job."

Prince Xin smiled and wrapped the chicken with lotus leaves. "The princess and my children have suffered a lot with me over the years. It's only right that I think of them."

"Royal brother, please do less of this kind of thing in the future. It's too exciting and too dangerous."

The emperor waved his hand with an indifferent expression: "Don't worry about this. I know my limits. I'll call you next time I want to eat chicken. You are good at light work and can run. This time, our cooperation is perfect."

"Next time we go to steal ducks, the ducks raised by the Queen and her family are also delicious. They are over there in the lake. They raise many more ducks than chickens. They won't notice if one or two are missing."

Prince Xin: ...

The emperor's sister-in-law really has a thief in her house. I guess the emperor just likes this sneaky feeling. Some people just like to seek some weird excitement, and it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't affect others.

He doesn't understand but respects them, and as a younger brother it's not easy for him to interfere in matters between a couple. Maybe this is the interest between couples.

While they were eating chicken here, Lin Mo was also eating chicken over there. A few chickens were sent over from the farm. They were originally planning to make chicken soup, but Lin Mo and Bai Xiao secretly kept two of the tenderer chickens.

"Old hens are used to make chicken soup. These two chickens are still so tender and not too old, so they are perfect for roasting."

What Lin Mo said made sense. It would have been more convincing if her eyes hadn't been fixed on the two chickens.

Minister Lin said speechlessly: "You just want to eat roasted chicken, right? You are looking for so many excuses just to roast these two chickens."

He doesn't understand her yet. He raised her with all his might. Just by looking at her butt sticking out, he knows what kind of shit she is going to do.

"You should talk to your mother about this matter yourself. Anyway, your mother knows that you sent a few chickens to Zhuangzi. This chicken soup is also for your health. You are not fully recovered yet and you want to eat those spicy foods. Do you think your mother will punish you?"
