Great Tang princess

Chapter 10 Small Gifts

To be honest, Li Yuechen's memory in sports is still good.

The next day, I came to Liu Rengui's house, and after playing the routine for a whole morning, I was able to remember almost everything.

Liu Rengui, who was sitting in the pavilion drinking yogurt, couldn't help nodding: "Princess is smart, she will definitely be a first-class expert in the future!"

Li Yuechen also smiled and gave an irregular salute: "Thank you, Master, for your compliment!"

Liu Rengui just smiled at her weird appearance that looked like a child pretending to be mature, and the face that had gone through vicissitudes of life seemed to have regained a bit of a youthful look.

Speaking of which, he can be regarded as a generation of famous generals, but whether it is the two sons or the grandson, they are still far from his expectations, which is a bit of a meaning.

Originally, I didn't want to do the job of teaching the princess martial arts, but after two days, I saw that the princess had no airs at all, and she was eccentric and cute, and suddenly felt good.

After all, I am already an old bone, so it would be nice to be able to accompany the little girl in activities.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of my two grandsons, if...

However, he shook his head immediately afterward. According to how favored this princess is, how can my Liu family be on top?

If Li Yuechen knew what he was thinking now, he would probably open his eyes and shout out, what the hell?I take you as your master, but you want me to be your grandson-in-law?
"Your Highness...it's almost here, how about some yogurt." Liu Rengui beckoned.

"it is good!"

Li Yuechen, who just finished playing a set, broke out in a fine layer of sweat, and came to the pavilion. Xiao He and Eunuch Fu who were next to him quickly poured a bowl of yogurt.

Although he is a master and apprentice, a princess is a princess, and Liu Rengui dare not call him "disciple" directly.

"Your Highness is smart. If you get used to it after a while, you don't have to come here every day. After the foundation is laid, you can naturally learn other things. Please don't worry, Your Highness."

"Okay, Yuechen understands!"

He is very clear that practicing martial arts is not something that happens overnight, and he has an adult soul, so he is not in a hurry.

At noon, Li Yuechen announced his farewell.

After all, it's not a big deal to eat at the master's house every day, so seeing that the sun was almost directly overhead, I got into the carriage and went back.

After returning to Chengxiang Hall, just after dinner, Xiao He came to report: "Your Highness, Eunuch Zhang is here."

"Please!"

Li Yuechen stood up from the mat and walked quickly to the door.

Zhang Chengxin walked over from the corridor with a smile: "Your Highness, just now the sage issued an edict to restore the status of the two princesses, and asked us to ask, do you want to go with us?"

Li Yuechen nodded: "Go together!"

Xiao He hurried over to help her put on her shoes, and Eunuch Fu was also packing up and getting ready.

All the way to Yeting Palace, after finding the two sisters, Zhang Chengxin began to read the imperial edict.

Li Yuechen didn't understand what he said specifically. Anyway, the general idea was that Li Yuechen said that blood is thicker than water, so he released the two of them and restored their status as princesses.

After listening to the content of the imperial edict, the two elder sisters raised their heads in surprise, looked at Li Yuechen who was smiling beside Zhang Chengxin, and then said in unison: "Thank you saint!"

In the future, these two elder sisters will still be princesses of the Tang Dynasty, and they will live together in the other courtyard of Chengxiang Palace, and play with Li Yuechen when they are free.

Of course Li Yuechen was also very happy, and trotted a few steps to the two of them: "Congratulations, sisters."

"You should also thank Yuechen!" Princess Xuancheng replied with a smile.

After chatting for a few words, Li Yuechen raised his head and came to Liu Shanggong next to him, nodded and said: "Thank you Liu Shanggong for taking care of the two elder sisters during this time, if you need my help in the future, Yuechen's ability Do your best within your limits.”

Liu Shanggong was pleasantly surprised: "Your Highness is too polite, this is all a matter of duty!"

With Li Yuechen's words, it means to give her a favor, as long as she doesn't try to kill herself, she can still say something about some small things.

Then he came to Zhang Chengxin's side and said, "Grandfather Zhang, how about going to Chengxiang Hall to drink some yogurt together?"

"Thank you, Your Highness, but we still have to return to the saint, so we won't go." Zhang Chengxin bent down and said with a smile.

Li Yuechen didn't say much, but asked Eunuch Fu to give it away instead.

Then, one on each side, holding the hands of the two sisters, they walked towards Chengxiang Hall, and from time to time, they raised their feet and walked forward like a swing.

Not far away, Zhang Chengxin and Eunuch Fu looked back, with smiles on their faces.

"How is it? Is it okay for us to arrange this errand for you?"

"Ouch!" Eunuch Fu bent slightly, smiling all over his face: "That's right, that's right, thank you Grandpa!"

Zhang Chengxin flicked the fly whisk in his hand, with an inscrutable smile on his face: "The little princess is in the midst of her family, take care of her, and I will have a good life for you in the future!"

"Thanks to Grandpa's praise!" Eunuch Fu stretched out his hand and pulled it into his arms as he said, "A few days ago, the saint gave me some..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Chengxin pinned his arm with a dust whisk.

"Fortunately, I still think you are a sensible person. How kind is the little princess to us servants? You want to move even this money? Are you impatient, dog slave?" Zhang Chengxin gnashed his teeth and growled in a low voice. .

Eunuch Fu didn't expect that he missed the horse's buttocks and slapped the horse's legs, so he quickly admitted his mistake: "Yes! Grandpa taught you that! Don't dare!!"

While talking, he also slapped himself twice hard.

"Okay, go back and serve the princess." Zhang Chengxin waved his hand, "If you let me know that you lied to the little princess, we will kill you!"

The startled Eunuch Fu hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Don't dare!"

"Humph!"

Zhang Chengxin waved his hand, flicked his whisk and went back to his life.

…………

Perhaps because they knew that Li Yuechen had a good time with the two sisters today, neither Li Zhi nor Wu Zetian came to bother her.

At night, under Li Yuechen's suggestion, the two sisters didn't go back, and slept in her palace.

In fact, this was a bit against the rules. It was not the first time for Li Yuechen. After Li Zhi and Wu Zetian found out, they didn't say anything, expressing that they didn't care.

But since it was released, Li Yuechen had to show it anyway, thinking about what gift to give Li Zhi and his wife to make them happy.

Salt?
This thing is quite simple to say, but it is quite complicated to do.

In this era, even in the palace, what people eat is coarse salt.

It's just that after being transported to the palace, it will be crushed with a stone wheel, and there are few large particles, but it is still not as fine as the salt of later generations.

It is not difficult to make the kind of fine salt of the later generations. Simply put, it is to filter out the impurities that are insoluble in water first, and then filter out the impurities that are soluble in water.

Those that are insoluble in water can be filtered several times with fine gauze, while those that are soluble in water need to use slaked lime and carbon dioxide.

These things are not difficult to do in this era. The difficulty lies in the fact that there is too much movement and there is no way to get it done quickly, and the effect of surprise cannot be achieved.

Besides, a child of three or four years old can make refined salt...you can know what kind of earthquake will be caused if you think about it.

Although the grand minister Sun Wuji is dead now, and the Guanlong noble group has also collapsed, the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs are still there.

Now the imperial power has indeed been concentrated, but it has not reached the point where it can be said.

As soon as the fine salt and gunpowder come out, it is conceivable that it will definitely trigger another struggle between the emperor and his courtiers.

So just think about it, but forget it if you really want to do it.

Besides, my original intention is to give Li Zhi and Wu Zetian a small gift that will make them happy, so that I can continue to be a cute and good baby, so it is best to have some small things that will not cause a sensation.

He couldn't figure it out for a while, but Li Yuechen wasn't in a hurry, anyway, he didn't issue a military order, so when he figured it out, he'll count.

So I went to bed early and got up early, and got up early the next morning to continue practicing at Liu Rengui's house, thinking that it would be best to write down the routines I taught myself today.

When he went to Liu Rengui's house again in the carriage, Li Yuechen looked out through the curtain on the carriage again.

The streets of this era made him feel uncomfortable, because there were no shops on the street at all, and the walls were all squares, which always looked awkward.

Although there were a lot of men and women walking on the street, it seemed that because of the Jinwu Guard around them, none of them dared to look this way.

Feeling bored, Li Yuechen was about to put down the curtain, but suddenly saw two men who had just begun to grow beards fighting on the street.

The two of them rolled around on the ground, and the surface of their clothes was covered with a layer of dust.

While beating and swearing, you said "a farmer's slave" and I said "a dog kills a talent".

While talking in his mouth, his hands also kept moving, talking about hitting the opponent with his fists.

A trace of dust splashed on the surrounding ground, and the passers-by walked around it as if it was nothing to see.

Marquis Wu, who was about three or five meters away, also seemed to turn a blind eye to this.

This phenomenon was not unexpected to Li Yuechen.

After coming to this era for so long, she also discovered many things that she didn't know before.

People in the Tang Dynasty were basically like this, and they would fight if they disagreed.To put it mildly, he is a mild-tempered person, but to put it bluntly, he has a bad temper.

The swear words in this era are very simple, basically such as "death" or "animal", and will not involve the other party's female relatives.

Of course, in this era, if it involves the female relatives of the other party, I'm afraid it's not about punching, but about drawing blood.

And those Marquis Wu who maintain order are generally too lazy to care, as long as you don't use knives to cut people in the street, you can fight as you please.

Speaking of which, it was only in this era that I realized that the word "Liao" is also a swear word.

If you think about it carefully, it is said that Wu Zetian, his old mother, said in the court at the beginning, "Why don't you kill this beast" can be translated as, "Why don't you kill this beast"?
Thinking of this, Li Yuechen suddenly burst out laughing, making Xiao He and Eunuch Fu next to him look puzzled.

"Why are you laughing, Your Highness?"

Li Yuechen held back a smile and waved his hands: "I just think of happy things."

The two looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

Although I wanted to ask what was so happy about it, I didn't ask it in the end.

……

After coming to Liu Rengui's house and practicing the routine all morning, he was basically familiar with it.

Liu Rengui said that he doesn't need to come here every day, but only needs to come here every now and then to see if he has not practiced well.

Li Yuechen agreed, and returned to the palace after noon.

Suddenly remembering that I will not go to court today, I plan to go to see if Li Zhi and Wu Zetian have eaten, and greet them by the way, to give a sense of presence.

When I came to the interior of Yanying Hall, I saw Li Zhi sitting cross-legged on the slum, with silver needles stuck in his head, like a hedgehog.

Wu Zetian watched from the side, ready to help at any time.

The imperial physician was standing behind Li Zhi, constantly adjusting the silver needle in his hand.

"Chen'er is here." Li Zhi slightly smiled, "How is your practice today?"

"I've almost remembered it all," Li Yuechen walked over and sat down next to Wu Zetian, "Where is my grandfather? How is the situation?"

She knew that Li Zhi had to do acupuncture every now and then to relieve his headaches, but as far as she knew, this kind of congenital genetic disease would not be so easy to get rid of even after more than a thousand years, let alone this era.

Li Yuechen, the imperial doctor who gave him the needles, has also met several times, and it is said that he is the apprentice of the medicine king Sun Simiao, named Liu Shenwei.

To be honest, when Li Yuechen heard this name for the first time, he felt a strong secondary feeling.

But speaking of it, it seems that many people in this era are secondary school students. Among other things, the couple Li Zhi and Wu Zetian are two elderly patients with secondary school disease.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

"Well, grandpa needs to get better as soon as possible, Chen'er and grandma are very worried." Li Yuechen replied cutely beside him.

Wu Zetian next to her held her in his arms and stroked her little head.

Liu Shenwei put away the silver needles that were stuck in his head one by one, and then saluted: "Your Majesty, Rong Chen will come again to give the pulse."

"Yes." Li Zhi agreed, and stretched out his hand to give him his pulse.

Li Yuechen, who was watching from the side, was suddenly taken aback, "Yes!"

Originally, I was still thinking about what small gift to give to make the couple happy, but now that I think about it, there is indeed a very suitable thing!
It's easy to make, fast, and you don't have to worry about making a splash!
Liu Shenwei took two steps back after taking the pulse, bowed and saluted: "I think His Majesty has recovered well recently, and you must maintain a good mood in the future, and do one or two regular activities every day."

Li Zhi nodded to express his understanding, and then Liu Shenwei left.

It was obvious that he was in a good mood, he hugged Li Yuechen and played for a while, then he called for food and asked his daughter to eat with him.

After eating, looking at the pile of memorials on the table, Li Yuechen didn't stay any longer, but just told the couple not to get too tired, and then left.

After coming out of the Hall of Yanying, Li Yuechen walked out, Eunuch Fu and Xiao He behind were stunned for a moment, and reminded: "Your Highness, the Hall of Chengxiang is over there."

Li Yuechen waved his hand: "Don't go back yet, go out of the palace and go to Taichang Temple!"

As soon as he heard that the princess was going out of the palace, Eunuch Fu immediately called dozens of Jinwu guards to follow, and then went all the way to the imperial city.

After arriving at Taichang Temple, Li Yuechen didn't care about anything else, and went straight to the Tai Medical Office.

The Imperial Physician Ling Liu Shenwei who just came back heard that the princess was coming, and he got up to greet her immediately before his butt warmed up after sitting down.

"I have seen Her Royal Highness!"

"Emperor Liu is an elder, so there's no need to be too polite!" Li Yuechen raised his head, blinked his eyes and said, "I just want to ask, why does Doctor Liu know the condition of his body just by pressing Grandpa's hand?"
