Great Tang princess

Chapter 229
The evening sun flooded the earth, even covering the huge Ziwei Palace with a layer of orange gold.

The maids in Renshou Hall lit candles early, and the hall didn't look dark at all.

The family sat around the big round table, drinking tea while listening to Li Yuechen chatting about what happened on the battlefield.

At the same time, I also heard from the family members what happened in the palace this year.

At this moment, the royal family is no different from ordinary families, enjoying themselves happily.

Li Yuechen had already taken off his heavy armor, and was easily laughing and chatting with his family with his legs crossed.

After the sun went down, Li Zhi saw that the time was almost up, and asked Zhang Chengxin to inform the cooking.

Then he explained: "Chen'er has been away for the past year, and he can't eat well or sleep well. When he comes back, he should eat more. The royal chef in the palace has researched a lot of new dishes, and you can try them today."

"Well, then you really have to taste it!" Li Yuechen said with a smile.

Just as he was talking, Zhang Chengxin had ordered several eunuchs to come over and put a disc in the middle of the round table.

"This is?" Li Yuechen felt a little surprised when he saw this thing.

"Returning to Your Highness, this is the idea of ​​this servant accidentally." Zhang Chengxin smiled, "This round table is too big, if you want to eat the dishes on the other side, you will inevitably have to stand up. The servant asked the craftsman to be the craftsman of the supervisor, and made This rotatable disc..."

Of course she knows about this thing, there will be such things on the round table in the future restaurant.

But what surprised her was that she didn't expect someone in this era to think of it. It seems that wisdom is interlinked.

This disc is not made of glass, but jade, which is relatively heavy and needs multiple brackets to support it.

Although it is a bit bulky, it is very stable and can certainly support many dishes.

Li Yuechen tilted his head and looked at the turntable in front of him, and couldn't help but smile. It seems that there is still hope to ignite the fire of science in this world.

……

After these years of training, the royal chefs in the palace have gradually figured out a set of standard procedures for serving dishes.

Just like the future, cold dishes are served first, followed by hot and hard dishes.

The first thing to come up is the fish meat, which is the so-called sashimi, and it is eaten with some sauces such as ginger juice.

To be honest, deep-sea fish is more delicious than sashimi, and freshwater fish is actually not very suitable.

Moreover, freshwater fish have much more parasites than deep-sea fish, but fortunately, there is already high-grade liquor, which can also play a role in sterilization.

Bacteria in this era have not yet evolved to the point of the future, so liquor should be able to kill everything.

This meal was really enjoyable, the whole family exchanging glasses, it was very lively.

In addition, the Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and the atmosphere is much more lively.

Li Zhi's face was already flushed after a few glasses of wine, but the smile on his face never faded.

The main reason is that this daughter is so powerful, this time gave him a big surprise, so that he can be completely relieved of the things that he was worried about a hundred years later.

Originally, he wanted to drink a few more glasses, but because he had to go to court tomorrow, Wu Zetian persuaded him.

Although Li Yuechen seemed to have drunk a lot, her physical fitness was different from that of ordinary people, and she could hangover very quickly.

When he walked out of Renshou Hall, his blushing face had returned to normal.

After saying hello to the brothers, Li Yuechen followed the two older sisters to the Anfu Hall.

Maybe it was because they saw that several people had something to say, Fulai didn't get too close, so he went back to report first.

"Why didn't sister-in-law come tonight?" Li Yuechen asked.

"Qing Wan has a quiet temperament, so she is not suitable for this kind of occasion." Princess Xuancheng explained, "Anyway, now that you are back, Chen'er, there will be many opportunities in the future."

Li Yuechen smiled: "That's true..."

Princess Yiyang looked around: "Chen'er, after you come back, you have to be careful, since you made a name for yourself on the front line, Chaozhong has not been very quiet."

"What do you mean?" Li Yuechen was puzzled.

"After the first time I received the news that you defeated the number one expert in Tubo, there were rumors in the palace that you were the reincarnation of Emperor Taizong..." Princess Yiyang explained the matter.

After listening to her explanation, Li Yuechen suddenly couldn't help laughing: "These people can really make up, the late emperor was actually reincarnated as a woman..."

"I know it's all made up, but this move may make you afraid of the prince..." Princess Yiyang thought for a while, and said this sentence.

In any case, she and Princess Xuancheng are now tied to this younger sister.

So we must do our best to help her solve all the troubles, so that the two sisters can be safe.

Li Yuechen has now achieved an excellent record in the army, and it is a foregone conclusion to lead the army in the future.

In addition, the emperor had the idea of ​​making her the crown prince before, so for the crown prince, the current Li Yuechen has already become a threat.

"Do you know where this rumor came from?" Li Yuechen asked.

In fact, she doesn't care much about the rumors themselves, and the second brother is not a fool, so it is naturally impossible to believe such rumors.

But this matter is a trouble after all. Besides, your family has a good relationship, and you can't stand people doing things for you every day.

After a long time, no matter how good the original relationship is, there will be cracks due to a little thing.

Li Yuechen herself didn't actually have the idea of ​​becoming an emperor, because she knew very well that not everyone could do well in that position.

Her purpose is to reform the society and the country, not to sit on a dragon chair and fight wits with a bunch of ministers.

But at the same time, if you want to do this, you must let the emperor support you unconditionally.

Otherwise, if the emperor makes trouble for himself, he will have no energy to do what he wants to do.

Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with the second brother. These rumors and other things must be resolved.

"Wan'er asked Gao Yanfu to conduct a secret investigation. After a long time, she finally figured it out." Princess Yiyang replied, "There is a young eunuch in the palace who was bought by the Lu family."

After finishing speaking, he asked cautiously, "Do you want to..."

He didn't continue speaking, but just gave a hint with his eyes.

Although these two elder sisters also suffered in the Yeting Palace, they are still the emperor's daughters after all, and after reading books like Di Fan, their current thinking has once again become the thinking mode of a superior.

Besides, the eunuch is a servant, so killing a slave is simply a normal thing.

However, Li Yuechen shook his head. There are tens of thousands of maids and eunuchs in the palace. Even if one of them is killed, it will be of no use. Instead, it will make the other party vigilant.

For the Lu family, what does the death of a eunuch matter?The big deal is to buy another one, and there is no shortage of money.

"I'll go talk with Gao Yanfu after this matter is over, sister don't have to worry." Li Yuechen smiled, "With me here, sister will be fine."

"En!" Princess Yiyang nodded, "Of course there is no need to talk about Chen'er's abilities."

……

Chatting and chatting has come to the gate of Anfu Hall.

Looking at the familiar place that he hadn't been back for more than a year, Li Yuechen took a deep breath and followed the two sisters into the hall.

After walking through the familiar Linbo Pavilion and the plants and trees that accompanied him growing up, Li Yuechen, who had been away from home for a year, felt a difference in mood.

In my previous life, I was almost homeless, and spent most of my time playing extreme sports around the world.

But what's different from that is that this time I left home by myself, and there are many people here who are concerned about me.

Parents, siblings, and friends!

Before entering the hall, a slim figure appeared at the entrance of the main hall.

Li Yuechen grinned: "Wan'er, don't you miss me?"

Shangguan Wan'er, who hasn't been seen for a year, has changed a lot. As the saying goes, there are eighteen changes in the female university. She has indeed changed a lot since she entered the puberty period after 15 years old.

Because she practiced yoga with Li Yuechen all the year round, her figure was much taller than girls of the same age, and she was very well-proportioned. Among the girls of this era, she also stood out from the crowd.

Her face was no longer immature as before, and now there was a slight tear in her bright eyes.

Hearing Li Yuechen's question, she raised her sleeve to wipe away the tears that didn't fall, and twitched her nose slightly: "Your Highness is back."

Li Yuechen took off his shoes and came to her, looked down at her slightly and smiled, then opened his arms and gave her a hug: "I'm back!"

After a hug, Shangguan Wan'er raised her head slightly and said, "Your Highness seems to be..."

"Grow taller, right? I know!" Li Yuechen smiled, and she was almost tired of hearing this sentence.

Then I came to the door, and compared it there, it seems that it is indeed much higher than last year.

I don't know if it's because she has entered the puberty period, but she has grown a lot in this year.

Judging from the traces drawn before, the current self is almost close to 1.7 meters.

Looking at Shangguan Wan'er next to her, Li Yuechen raised his hand and poked her on the face: "I haven't seen you in a year, and Wan'er has changed a lot."

"Okay." Princess Yiyang smiled beside her, "I know you two are on good terms, Qingwan is still waiting inside!"

Li Yuechen agreed, and after smiling at her, he raised his legs and entered the hall.

Xiao He, Zheng Shi and others saluted one after another: "Congratulations, Your Highness, on your triumphant return!"

"Excuse me!" Li Yuechen raised his hand and looked at Pei Qingwan in front of him: "Sister-in-law, I'm back."

"Your Highness has come back with a great victory, congratulations!" Pei Qingwan laughed, "I must have eaten at Renshou Palace today, and I'll eat together when I come back tomorrow!"

Li Yuechen said with a smile: "It's not all my credit, it's because Master uses soldiers like a god..."

"500 people wiped out [-] enemies and lost [-] people. This kind of record has never been achieved since ancient times... Chen'er should not be humble." Princess Xuancheng sat down with a smile.

Because this matter was too exaggerated, it was not a secret in the court. Even Li Zhi asked Shangguan Wan'er to polish this matter and publish it in the newspaper on the first day of the new year.

My daughter is so awesome, I am the only one who knows it won't work, I have to let the whole world know that the emperor has a good daughter!
Li Zhi's love for this daughter has never been hidden, and everyone in the court knows it.

The sisters and sisters-in-law sat down and drank a few cups of tea together, and chatted, until midnight, the atmosphere was still very lively.

After all, banquets with the emperor are always a bit formal, but now it's different, you don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing, you can chat with confidence.

In the end, Princess Yiyang, who was the oldest, stopped her: "Okay, Chen'er will go to court tomorrow, let's call it a day, and we'll talk after tomorrow."

Everyone saw that it was getting late, so they all agreed and went back to rest.

……

Li Yuechen lay on the bed that he hadn't slept in for a year, took a deep breath, looking for a familiar feeling.

At the same time, he was also thinking, now that he is home, the focus in the future must still be on the army, and his sister-in-law Pei Qingwan should continue to do business matters.

But at the same time, it is also time to think about other things. Now that the cement has been finished, I will go to Shandong to see if I can build a salt farm if I have the opportunity.

Originally, things like salt were government-run. With this premise, there was no need to worry about causing huge conflicts with the aristocratic family.

But the key point is that if everyone in Datang can afford to eat salt, not to mention the increase in national tax revenue, it will also make people's lives better.

The other thing is weapons. After listening to his concept of special operations, Dad will definitely agree to train a team of scouts by himself.

Next, we can develop weapons such as grenades, but these things must be controlled by the royal family and must not be leaked out!
Li Yuechen closed his eyes while thinking, and fell asleep.

……

It was still dark the next day, and under the action of the biological clock, Li Yuechen still opened his eyes early.

After getting up and stretching, he put on his clothes and came to the main hall.

Shangguan Wan'er and the others also came out, each holding a sheepskin mat and preparing to start exercising.

I haven't exercised with Li Yuechen for more than a year, and I talk a lot more than usual.

I probably exercised a bit, drank two mouthfuls of porridge, and ate a mustard pancake. The sun is about to rise.

Xiao He immediately came over to help her comb her hair, and Fu Lai also brought a few eunuchs to help her put on the armor.

Today is the welcome ceremony for the army to return to the court, and it is also the only day when the military attaches such as Liu Rengui and Li Yuechen who participated in the war can enter the court hall with weapons.

"Your Highness, you don't need to bring all of them today, just one." Fulai reminded beside him.

"Then take my Fangtian painting halberd?" Li Yuechen asked, after all, this thing looks mighty and imposing.

But Fulai shook his head: "His Royal Highness used hammers to defeat the Tubo masters, so let's go with double hammers."

"That's fine."

Li Yuechen agreed, put the two hammers on his shoulders, and prepared to go up.

The hammer has gone through many battles and cleanings. Although the blood has disappeared, the various scratches on the surface of the hammer have become more and more obvious.

And these scratches on the hammer and armor are also a special medal to some extent.

When they came to the square in front of the main hall, many officials were already waiting here.

The sun has just risen now, exuding an orange-red glow, which is not too dazzling.

When Li Yuechen walked over with a pair of hammers on his shoulders, the officials waiting to go to court turned their heads and looked over.

Her red robe and black armor were bathed in sunlight, and she walked slowly with a confident smile on her face.

　Thank you [Yuanjuan] for the reward of 100 starting coins!
