Chapter 19: Fiery Spice

　　At first when she heard Li Chengqian’s words, Xia Ju still couldn’t believe it and thought that she had misheard him, but when she saw him taking the two princesses for a walk there, she knew that Li Chengqian hadn’t lied to her, and it was only then that Xia Ju respectfully kowtowed to Li Chengqian, and while she was kowtowing, her eyes were streaming with tears.

　　Although Xia Ju has been serving Li Chengqian for two years, but in these two years she has not had a good life, every day is fearful, do not dare to make the slightest mistake, because she clearly remembered that when she just arrived at the East Palace, she saw a palace maid was killed alive because of a small matter, she was afraid that she is also like this, so in these two years are over the careful.

　　But ever since Li Chengqian was punished for January in the Book Depository, he was like a different person, especially today, the Crown Prince took care of her, she could feel it.

　　”Your Highness the Crown Prince, don’t worry, your goodness to the slave girl, the slave girl all remembered in my heart, in the future, but if anyone wants to hurt you, then let him cross over the body of the slave girl” Xia Ju swore silently in her heart, then climbed up, and packed up all the things and sent them out before coming back to continue eating the baked sweet potatoes.

　　This series of action of Xia Ju, Li Chengqian saw in the eyes, but he did not say anything, also do not want to say anything, and Xia Ju’s encounter with Li Chengqian from the inheritance of the memory of the fruit also more or less know a little, a should be free of food and clothing of the young girl, and now do the work of the subordinate, but also all day to worry about the fear, to blame on this era it is so, right!

　　But Li Chengqian heart is still very happy, he knows that this long beautiful little courtesan will never betray himself, although this is a girl is a little cruel, but who called Li Chengqian can be trusted by so two that.

　　In such a good mood Li Chengqian, accompanied by two sisters after a walk, found that these little girls can play is really less, have the heart to find them something to play, but Li Chengqian thought half a day, found that there is no material here, fortunately, let the Xia Ju went to ask people to bring buckets of water, intends to take the two little girls to continue to play with the mud.

　　As for other play things wait for a few days to get them.

　　But now can play mud for two generated in the royal little girl is already good, so they play very happy.

　　When Li Chengqian accompanied them to play for a while, Zhang Gao, who had gone out on an errand earlier, came back.

　　”Your Highness, the things you commanded the old slave have been done, carpenter and grass ash are outside, you see” Zhang Gao respectfully bowed to Li Chengqian, lowered his head to report back to Li Chengqian.

　　”Since back, then you find people to this yard to the king to shovel flat, these flowers and trees wigwam don’t, let people in the middle of a pavilion, over there on a well, as for this shoveling place called to let all to the king to get out of the cultivated land, those grass ash are scattered into the ground, listen to understand it” finished Li Chengqian looked at Zhang Gao.

　　”The old slave, listen to understand, this let people according to your highness command to do, those carpenters how to do” after yesterday’s hammering, Zhang Gao did not dare to ask Li Chengqian why to do so, just asked those carpenters how to do.

　　”You first arrange this matter, as for those carpenters you let them come in, wait for this king to order finished, you find a place for them, let them do things for this king on the line” Li Chengqian finished, Zhang Gao led the order to go out quickly.

　　”My humble servant, the grass people pay their respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Princess” Those carpenters came in and knelt in front of Li Chengqian in unison, bowing to Li Chengqian and the two little girls.

　　”OK, after you are my East Palace people, work well, if you do a good job the king has a heavy reward, now you take these drawings to build furniture for the king, if there is anything you can’t understand in the finders to ask the king, listen to understand did not” finished Li Chengqian painted before the tables, chairs and benches, as well as recliners of the drawings given to the summer chrysanthemum, let Xia Ju to hand them over.

　　”I understand, I would like to work for His Highness the Crown Prince” said one of the carpenters who was not small in age and took the drawings handed over by Xia Ju.

　　So among the 10 or so of them, some of them disagreed, but there was no way, Li Chengqian, the Crown Prince, had made his words so clear, they didn’t dare to say anything, but when they saw those drawings that Li Chengqian had given them, their faces changed.

　　”How, you can’t build the things on it” Seeing their faces changed, Li Chengqian immediately asked them.

　　”Back to the crown prince, these small ones can build out, just small dare to ask a question, these drawings are who design, this is simply too magical” the age of the carpenter, kneeling on the ground carefully asked Li Chengqian.

　　”You are very discerning! These are the king’s hand graffiti, look not very good, you do when you can spend more thought on it, by the way, what is your name” finished Li Chengqian looked at him.

　　”This is actually your highness work, your highness talent is really let me and so on breathtaking, please your highness rest assured, we must according to your highness requirements, must put these artifacts to build out, will never let down your highness trust, and the villain Sun Lou will never put the drawings leaked out”

　　”We will never leak the drawings out” a cadre of carpenters heard Sun Lou’s words, all kneeled on the ground, to Li Chengqian guarantee.

　　”Alright, these this king knows, then you guys go down to work! What needs to find Zhang Gao to receive on the line, by the way a moment you first to this king to do a gadget” said Li Chengqian picked up a side of the pen on the paper to draw a shuttlecock, and indicate the materials used, handed over to the Sun Lou and let them go out.

　　After they went out, Li Chengqian led the two little girls also leave here, after all, a moment here will be shoveled, and now also close to noon, although the Great Tang did not have the habit of eating lunch, but Li Chengqian can not care about these, lunch he must be eaten.

　　But now the two little girls play all over the mud, Li Chengqian to let them wash first, or dirty body is very ungainly.

　　When the two little girls came out after the bath, they turned into cute little elves again, and at this time Liu Hai and Xiao Anzi who went out to pick up the goods had also returned.

　　The reason why they went for so long was because there was absolutely no river prawns and field chickens that Li Chengqian wanted in the market, so they could only go out to buy them, so they came back a little late.

　　When seeing that one fat river shrimp and field chicken, Li Chengqian’s saliva came down, after all, like this wild river shrimp and field chicken, in the previous life has been rare, most of them are raised, and now Li Chengqian has chili peppers, then in the face of these good ingredients, how can he hold back.

　　After all, you have to know, as a chef, that nine times out of ten he must also be a foodie.

　　But but Li Chengqian went to get chili, or very reluctant “this chili is too little, are not enough to eat a few meals, it seems to be quick to plant the chili seeds to be able to”

　　After thinking about it Li Chengqian still grabbed a handful of chili peppers, put the inside of the chili pepper seeds carefully controlled out and put it away, and took the dried chili peppers and went out.
