Great Tang princess

Chapter 48 BBQ
The emperor personally issued the order, and the execution was naturally very efficient.

Soon, fast horses set off along various national highways, and issued the emperor's order to various local states and counties.

A notice was also pasted outside the imperial city, attracting a crowd of people to watch.

Although most of them are illiterate, some who have read books will help to read it and tell them what it means.

After listening to the notice, the people around were also in an uproar, they never expected that the marriage between blood relatives would have such a result.

So under the effect of person-to-person transmission, the news quickly spread throughout the entire Eastern Capital.

The emperor issued an order that any wedding between blood relatives who have been engaged but not yet held will be canceled directly and the dowry will be returned.

Those who are already married can leave if they want to. If they don't want to leave, it is best to marry a concubine and let the concubine bear children.

Such a result made Li Yuechen very happy. Originally, she thought that she would raise this issue with Li Zhi again in the future.

I didn't expect to find out by myself while investigating the genetic disease, which is also a coincidence.

It has to be said that Liu Shenwei's investigation was very careful, and Li Yuechen felt that he could praise him next time they met.

……

Inside Anfu Hall, Li Yuechen put down the pen in his hand, raised his arms and stretched.

Shangguan Wan'er suddenly turned her head and said, "Your Highness, do you still remember what you promised your maid last year?"

Li Yuechen froze for a moment: "Of course I remember! Don't worry!"

Hearing her answer, Shangguan Wan'er nodded with a smile, turned around and ran out bouncing around.

Afterwards, Li Yuechen directly beckoned Xiaohe to come over: "What did I promise her?"

"This..." Xiao He was also a little dazed, "How does this servant know what His Highness promised?"

With a "snap", Li Yuechen raised his hand and slapped himself on the forehead, and began to think about what he had promised her.

Seeing her appearance, Xiao He tentatively asked: "Your Highness, if there is nothing wrong, the servants will leave first? We still need to prepare some bamboo for rice dumplings."

"Zong?" Li Yuechen was slightly taken aback, "Is it going to be the fifth day of May?"

"Yes, today is the second day of junior high school." Xiao He replied.

Li Yuechen waved his hand: "Okay, let's go!"

Now she remembered that she had promised Shangguan Wan'er last year that she would be the King of Herbs during the Dragon Boat Festival this year.

Arriving outside the Anfu Hall, Li Yuechen saw that Shangguan Wan'er was looking for grass stalks everywhere, and her white and tender hands were covered with dust, so she didn't care.

Li Yuechen waved: "Wan'er, come here! Today I will teach you the secret method of invincibility in fighting a hundred herbs!"

Shangguan Wan'er trotted over quickly: "Your Highness, I have to go back and talk about this, and I can't be listened to by others."

"It's okay, there's no one around here!" Li Yuechen smiled, and then put his arm around her neck.

Perhaps because she didn't expect Li Yuechen to make a move suddenly, Shangguan Wan'er froze in place, letting her wrap her arms around her neck and pull her over.

Li Yuechen quietly leaned into her ear, and whispered: "The method is very simple, just soak these grass stalks in water overnight!"

Shangguan Wan'er, who was originally blushing because of her action, raised her head slightly, looked at Li Yuechen's smile close at hand, and asked in a daze, "It's so simple?"

"En!" Li Yuechen nodded with a smile, "The secrets behind many things are so simple!"

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. This morning, Li Yuechen took Shangguan Wan'er and his two older sisters to finish yoga and ate some breakfast casually.

After telling Xiaohe to go to the craftsman to make a barbecue grill for himself, he is ready to go out to practice.

Just outside the hall, Zhang Chengxin, the head of the palace, suddenly came over, "His Royal Highness, the sage issued an edict that today we will go to the tower of the imperial city to watch the dragon boat race together."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Li Yuechen promised, and called Xiao He to help him comb his hair.

Under Xiao He's strong request, she still combed her hair into a high bun, made a small hairstyle, and put on the extremely troublesome Tin Chai dress.

After all, it’s fine in normal times, but today on the tower, if the whole city saw the princess with disheveled hair, it would be ridiculous.

Li Yuechen didn't want to embarrass Li Zhi, so he could only let it go.

I arrived at the gate of the imperial city early, and my brothers were already waiting here.

Seeing his second brother Li Xian with his back turned to him, Li Yuechen raised his finger and made a silent gesture for the other brothers.

Afterwards, he trotted a few steps quickly, jumped on the spot, and threw himself on Li Xian's back: "Second brother!"

"Ouch!"

Li Xian was taken aback, but the next moment he quickly reached out and grabbed his sister on his back to prevent her from falling.

"This girl, are you trying to scare me to death?" Li Xian taught with a smile.

Li Yuechen slid off his back with a smile: "Hey, don't you want to surprise the second brother?"

"It's better for Yuechen to be more stable today. If the people of Dongdu see the appearance of Princess Datang, my royal family will lose face." Li Hong taught with a straight face.

The fourth brother, Li Lun, smiled slightly: "Brother, don't worry, Yuechen is not a person who doesn't know the importance."

"Yes!" The third child next to him also chimed in, "Yuechen will definitely not make trouble today."

Li Hong laughed directly: "How many of you have taught me a lesson?"

"Don't dare..." Li Yuechen replied with a serious look on purpose.

But it is probably because the hairpins on Li Xian's head were loosened because he just fell on Li Xian's back. When he lowered his head like this, several of them fell off, and fell to the ground with a clang.

"Hahaha..." The brothers and sisters covered their mouths and laughed.

Xiao He, who followed, hurried over to help insert the dropped tin hairpin in her hair again.

When Li Zhi and Wu Zetian came over, they saw the children playing and laughing at each other, and couldn't help showing a smile on their faces.

Especially for Li Zhi, his brothers and sisters are almost dead. Seeing the children playing and having fun with each other will make him feel more deeply than others.

Seeing the couple coming, the children all stood up and saluted solemnly.

Li Yuechen also pretended to be serious and saluted together, but immediately raised his hands and made a gesture of heart on his head after the salute, so that the smile on Li Zhi's face remained undiminished, and his beard trembled accordingly.

"Okay, now that we're all here, let's go up to the tower with me and watch the dragon boat race!" Li Zhi announced with a wave of his hand.

First of all, a large number of Qianniuwei took the lead to climb the city wall, and then Li Zhi also walked up with his wife and children.

When I came to the Duanmen, I saw that the other side of the Luoshui River was already full of people who came to watch.

On the side near the imperial city, there are all the court ministers and their family members, most of whom are familiar faces.

And in the Luoshui under the Tianjin Bridge, there are already nine long dragon boats lined up.

The contestants in charge of participating in the competition were naked from the upper body, revealing their strong tendons and large tattoos.

Before Li Yuechen, Ting Xiaohe did some simple science popularization for her, as if these tattoos were all to scare the monsters in the water.

Seeing the emperor appearing on the city tower, the ministers and common people on both sides of Luoshui saluted together and shouted long live.

Li Zhi smiled and raised his hand, motioning for them to flatten.

This dragon boat race was not an event held by the royal family, but was held spontaneously by the people, so the emperor obviously didn't intend to interfere, he just took the children to watch the excitement.

For most of the common people, it was really just a fun to watch. After all, across from Luoshui, most people actually couldn't see clearly what the emperor looked like.

All I could see was a man in a yellow-orange uniform with a pattern of baoxiang flowers and a black black gauze hat on his head.

Li Zhi also inherited the character of his father Li Shimin to a certain extent, that kind of troublesome crown has always been worn if he can not wear it.

Even when he was in the Hall of Renshou, he didn't even wear the Yishan crown, a golden hairpin would solve the problem.

Perhaps because the emperor came to watch, the strong men on the dragon boat were all gearing up, and one of them even spit on the palm of his hand twice.

There is a big drum at a certain distance on the bank of Luoshui, and there are also strong men ready to play.

As the host threw the zongzi in Luoshui, the big drums on the bank of Luoshui sounded one after another, and the sound of "dongdong" was endless.

The dragon boats lined up on Luoshui also rushed forward one after another, and the oars in the hands of the men quickly plunged into the water and slid.

The dragon boat moved forward quickly following the rhythm of the big drum, and people on both sides of the Luoshui River raised their hands and cheered.

Li Yuechen turned his head and saw that Li Zhi was holding a health ball in his hand, with a smile on his face, as if he was satisfied with the people under his rule.

Then he turned his head and looked down at the shouting people through the gap in the middle of the wall. He couldn't help but think in his heart that it would be great if this situation could continue.

She didn't know much about history, but there was one word that even a novice like her had heard of—the Anshi Rebellion.

She didn't know the specifics, but only knew that this happened during the reign of Empress Tang Ming, and the mastermind was An Lushan.

Li Yuechen couldn't help sighing when he thought that the scene he saw now might turn into a hell on earth in the future.

To say that the only lucky thing is that there should be many years before that incident, and I should have enough time to prevent it from happening.

Now, let yourself grow up happily and at ease.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen also raised his fist to applaud the players below.

……

The morning passed quietly amidst the dragon boat race. Li Zhi seemed to be in a good mood, and gave some silk to the team that won the championship.

In the Tang Dynasty, silk can be used as currency, which is no different from sending money directly.

At noon, Li Zhi was in a good mood and held a family banquet in the Hall of Renshou, but what he ate was not hot pot, but mustache and mutton.

Now Li Zhi seems to be used to eating at the same table as a family, and today's family banquet still adopts this pattern.

In the afternoon, when Li Yuechen and his two elder sisters returned to Renshou Hall, they saw Shangguan Wan'er fighting with other court ladies.

With the secret technique taught by Li Yuechen, Shangguan Wan'er was invincible and became the King of Herbs this year.

Seeing Li Yuechen leaning on the pillar of Linbo Pavilion and looking at this side, Shangguan Wan'er trotted over: "Your Highness, I don't have any opponents today!"

"Well, then you are very good!" Li Yuechen smiled and nodded.

"Hey..." Hearing her praise, Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head and laughed.

At this moment, Xiao He took the grill back with two eunuchs: "The item His Highness asked for has been made."

Li Yuechen nodded: "Let's put it down, I invite you to eat meat tonight!"

Taking advantage of the good light in the afternoon, while Li Yuechen went to study and practice calligraphy, he asked people from Shangshi Bureau to cut the mutton into fat and thin pieces and put them on bamboo sticks.

After these years of practice, Li Yuechen's calligraphy level is already quite good, and he has become a school of his own.

It's just that this kind of thin gold-like characters are always a bit out of place in this era.

It looks really good-looking, even Shangguan Wan'er said that she wanted to learn it, but it's a pity that Mrs. Zheng stopped it.

In her opinion, Li Yuechen is a princess after all, so it doesn't matter if her handwriting doesn't conform to the public's aesthetics.

But Shangguan Wan'er, it's better to learn the rounded fonts that are popular in this era.

It's just that children of this age are more or less rebellious, and sometimes they will secretly practice when Zheng is not paying attention.

In fact, Li Yuechen's calligraphy is not really thin gold, after all, it was modified from hard pen calligraphy.

But maybe it is because of the fusion of different styles of soft and hard pens between invisible, so it looks more beautiful in structure and sharper in strokes.

Seeing that it was almost dusk, Li Yuechen put down his pen, stretched his waist, and started to barbecue after taking a break.

When the sun went down, lanterns were lit outside the main hall and on the Linbo Pavilion. In addition, the moonlight in this era was extremely bright, and the visibility was quite good.

Li Yuechen found charcoal and began to spread it on the grill, and then ordered Xiao He to go to Shangshi Bureau to bring the things he asked them to prepare.

Not only lamb kebabs are prepared tonight, but also chicken legs, chicken wings and fish.

Don't ask what kind of fish it is, you just don't know!The fish meat was cut into pieces, put on bamboo sticks, mixed with lamb skewers and delivered.

Seeing that Li Yuechen seemed to be going to grill the meat himself, Xiao He was a little worried: "Your Highness, these things are still..."

"Don't talk nonsense, just wait and go!" Li Yuechen directly waved his hand to blow him away, and then started to light the fire.

After the stool sat down, Li Yuechen started to light the fire, and then quickly fanned it with the round fan.

A lot of smoke began to fill the air, and the charcoal was ignited in a short while, glowing red.

Li Yuechen saw that the heat was almost ready, so he put the mutton skewers in his hand on the grill and started to grill them.

Shangguan Wan'er squatted aside and asked, "Why does Your Highness roast it himself?"

"Because no one can bake the taste I want!" Li Yuechen smiled and continued to fan the fan.

On the other side, in the Hall of Renshou, Li Zhi was about to greet Wu Zetian for dinner when he saw Zhang Chengxin trotting in.

"Saint, empress!" The expression on Zhang Chengxin's face was a little panicked, "There is a lot of smoke rising from Anfu Hall, I don't know what happened!"

"What?" Li Zhi stood up abruptly, and Wu Zetian next to him also looked anxious, "Could it be that he's drowned?"

"Probably not." Zhang Chengxin said, "There is no open flame, but..."

Li Zhi waved his hand directly: "Stop talking, just follow me to have a look!"
