Great Tang princess

Chapter 611
The final result proved that sister-in-law Pei Qingwan couldn't accept the taste of preserved eggs, and some of the children said they couldn't eat it, but others felt that it was okay, for example, it tasted delicious.

Li Xian even suggested: "Yuechen, teach me how to make this thing."

"It's better to eat less of this stuff. After all, it's burnt out of lime. Strictly speaking, it's not a normal food." Li Yuechen laughed.

Wu Zetian nodded in agreement: "It makes sense. It is often said that medicine is three-point poisonous. No matter any ingredients, it is always not good to eat too much."

While talking, he also meowed at Li Xian's extremely obvious stomach.

To be honest, he is the fattest person in the family now. Although Li Dan is not thin, he is still of normal shape.

Not to mention Li Xian, who is not idle every day in the army. Although he is middle-aged now, his abdominal muscles are clearly visible.

Not to mention the two older sisters and sister-in-law, who practice yoga every day, with a typical clothes rack, not to mention their outstanding temperament, they look much younger than their peers, and their complexion is very good.

Li Xian, who was despised by his mother, didn't dare to say anything, he could only obediently nodded in agreement.

But his biggest advantage is to listen to his mother. Since his mother said not to eat more, he should eat less.

……

While eating, a huge airship floated across the night sky.

Zhang Chengxin from outside quickly came in to report the situation, and Li Yuechen decided to go to Xuanwu Gate after hearing it.

Seeing Li Yuechen get up, Xiao Dong, who was serving on the side, also got up quickly, followed by leaving Jixian Temple, and came to the Xuanwu Gate.

When they arrived, the airship was already slowly descending. Li Yuechen did not go up the tower, but came to wait outside the Xuanwu Gate.

Asking the inner guards who came to say hello to continue patrolling, Li Yuechen stood on the square and looked up from time to time to see the airship that was gradually landing.

Xiaodong on the side had an envious expression on her face. She only became her maid after Li Yuechen came back, and she had never ridden on this thing.

I had only heard about the appearance of this airship in the Princess Mansion before, but it is useless to just listen to other people's words about flying into the sky. If there is a chance in the future, I still want to take a ride in person.

Li Yuechen seemed to see what was going on in her heart, and smiled slightly beside her and said, "Don't be envious, there will be many opportunities to ride this thing in the future."

"Yes! Servant, thank you Your Highness..."

After all, he was a young man, and he couldn't help but smile when he heard the princess said that there would be opportunities in the future.

……

After a while, the airship slowly landed on the square outside the Xuanwu Gate.

The cabin door opened, and a group of cooking soldiers in white military uniforms came down with several large boxes. When they saw Li Yuechen, they hurried over to salute: "Your Highness!"

"En!" Li Yuechen nodded, "Are the ingredients fresh?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, they were just fished out of the sea this morning, and the bottles were directly filled with sea water. Many of them are still alive at this moment." The cook said confidently.

As a cooking soldier who cooks, he has the opportunity to participate in the state banquet, and the emperor will taste the dishes he cooks himself. The soldiers who came here are full of expectations.

Li Yuechen nodded, and lightly patted the other party's shoulder: "The Chinese New Year is hard work, I can't go home to celebrate the New Year, and I can't let you go for nothing!"

As he spoke, he took out a small bag from his bosom and stuffed it into the opponent's pocket, and said in a low voice, "You guys get a share."

"No, Your Highness, this..."

"Hey, it's just some hard work. I gave it to you, just take it!" Li Yuechen raised his chin.

The other party quickly agreed: "My brothers and sisters thank Your Highness for the reward!"

Li Yuechen waved his hand slightly: "Okay, go in, someone will arrange for you. There are many rules in the palace, don't run around if you have nothing to do, just do your own work."

"Yes! Subordinates, remember!" The soldier on the opposite side raised his hand and saluted.

Then Li Yuechen didn't say anything more, turned his head and went back to Jixian Temple first.

And a group of cooking soldiers behind them gathered together, eagerly opening the small bag she gave just now.

There were five golden beans the size of melon seeds lying in the bag, which was the hard work of the five people who came here this time.

Several soldiers laughed and looked at the back of Li Yuechen leaving, feeling happy.

Everyone in the army knows that His Highness is loyal, and it stands to reason that many people rush to come and cook for the emperor during the Chinese New Year, but Her Highness the Princess is still willing to give other rewards, so that soldiers like them can't admire it.

……

After returning to Jixian Temple, I sat down to eat a few more mouthfuls, enjoyed the meal and then plated desserts. Tonight's family banquet is almost over.

Li Yuechen felt that in the future, if he had the opportunity, he should train those people in Jiaofang Division well, and perform a few more shows on New Year's Eve, otherwise, in this era of lack of entertainment, New Year's Eve would really feel a bit boring.

Come to think of it, this thing actually works.

Nowadays, there are a lot of people in the Jiaofang Division, basically they are musicians, and the others are singing and dancing actors, and there are no other forms of performance at all.

Having said that, although Li Yuechen is not a professional actor, at least he has watched operas, dramas, or cross talk and acrobatics on TV. Maybe it can inspire them?

Jiaofangsi, as the Royal Song and Dance Troupe, it can't really just be singing and dancing, right?If you are free, you can perform more other shows. Even if the society develops well enough in the future, you can go out to perform on behalf of the royal family, which can be regarded as gaining popularity for the royal family.

The more Li Yuechen thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good. The development of a country should not only consider military technology and systems. Culture is also very important.

Well, after Shouli and Shouyi graduate this year, we can start working on it, which can be regarded as bringing some rich entertainment life to the ancient times where entertainment was scarce.

After eating, Wei Lian'er and other female relatives took the lead to leave, and took the children back first, leaving only Li Yuechen and his siblings.

After they left, the atmosphere in Jixian Hall became much more relaxed. Li Xian's sitting posture with his chest up and his head up instantly collapsed, and he leaned limply on the back of the chair.

At the same time, he was picking his teeth helplessly with a toothpick.

And Li Dan is similar, with his left leg resting on his right leg arrogantly, leaning against the back of the chair, looking very relaxed.

That is to say, Li Xian has been in the army for a long time, and he still sits like a soldier.

The sudden change of the princes did not arouse anyone's doubts, only Xiaodong who was standing behind Li Yuechen felt a little surprised.

He was still trembling just now, why is he so relaxed all of a sudden.

But soon she thought of Xiao He's teaching to her, follow the princess, no matter what she sees, just pretend she didn't see it, so she immediately lowered her head slightly, half-closed her eyes, and looked at the tip of her nose.

"Oh, this lime egg really tastes good..." Li Xian had a look of recollection on his face, "I really didn't expect there to be such a way to eat it."

Li Yuechen sat beside him and gave him a blank look: "I don't know who said that he would never eat it?"

Everyone else laughed, even Wu Zetian couldn't help smiling, and took a sip from his teacup.

"It looked so dark at first, how could I expect it to taste like this." Li Xian replied with some embarrassment.

"Does this mean brother is short-sighted?" Li Dan turned his head and asked.

Li Xian immediately clenched his fists: "Fourth brother, you and I haven't sparred for a long time since we grew up, right?"

"I want to learn from Yuechen, my brother's martial arts is low, and he is not my brother's opponent."

Wu Zetian waved his hand: "Okay, you two are so old, you still look like children."

"Aniang, Yuechen is always like a child, why don't you teach her a lesson?" Li Xian felt greatly wronged.

"Are you too embarrassed to compete with women?" Wu Zetian asked with a look of contempt.

"I……"

Li Xian wanted to refute but didn't know what to say, but in the end he didn't say anything. Forget it, anyway, he's been like this since he was a child, and he's used to it.

It really was my own mother, and I felt like I picked it up.

Seeing Li Xian's deflated look, the others also held back their laughter.

In order to prevent herself from laughing out loud, Princess Xuancheng kept sticking toothpicks into the fruit plate and delivering them to her mouth, while Princess Yiyang turned her head away, but it was obvious that her shoulders were still trembling.

Li Yuechen patted the table lightly: "Brother, give up, I have been the most favored since I was a child, you can't compare."

"That's true!" Li Xian nodded in agreement, "Not only parents, but brothers also spoil you the same?"

"Well, it's Yuechen who always digs traps to harm us." Li Dan nodded in agreement.

"When will I..."

Li Yuechen, who was about to refute, hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly remembered that he had cheated a few brothers when he was a child, and more than once, so he chose to change the subject: "Okay, it's all over, and the brothers won't Do you want to take revenge on my little sister?"

The elder brothers all looked at her expressionlessly, making a look of "give you a look and experience it yourself".

Li Yuechen's face froze: "Otherwise... How many brothers should I give each of them a gift?"

"I'm waiting for my brothers and sisters, and I'll be offended if I say it's a gift." Li Xian smiled, and then said with a serious face, "I want a pair of handballs for my brother."

Handball is a health ball, Li Yuechen made it for the old man at the beginning for him to play with.

"This thing is everywhere now, don't you have to send it to me?" Li Yuechen asked back.

However, Li Xian shook his head: "The ones outside, Nabi can be given by Shang Yuechen?"

"Okay, I'll give you a pair when I go back after the year! I'll give you a pair of jade!" Li Yuechen waved his hand to indicate that it's okay.

I, Princess Taiping, lack everything else except money!
Today's No. [-] rich woman in the Great Zhou is joking with you?
Li Dan also started to join in the fun: "I also want a pair for my brother!"

"Okay! The second brother also has a pair!"

"No! I work in the army all day long, and I can't take it easy. It's useless." Li Xian waved his hand, "Speaking of which, there are already airships in Qingdao, and this Qianniuwei followed Yuechen from the very beginning. this……"

"Brother, don't worry, when the new airship is finished, we will equip Qianniuwei with one!" Li Yuechen immediately promised.

Watching the children joking with each other, although Wu Zetian did not directly participate, the smile on his face did not diminish.

Compared with before, she really likes to see such scenes now.

Time always passed quickly during the chat, and it wasn't long, so Zhang Chengxin came in to remind: "Saint, Your Highness, you are right."

Li Yuechen stood up and stretched, all the bones in his body crackling: "It's Chinese New Year! I hope that Auntie and all brothers and sisters will be happy and healthy every day! I also hope that my royal family can have a happy family and everything will be happy!"

"Family and everything is prosperous..." Wu Zetian repeated in a low voice, and nodded slightly with a smile: "Well said!"

Princess Yiyang's eyes also brightened: "That's a good statement, why not publish it in the newspaper tomorrow!"

And Shangguan Wan'er, who was behind, had already dipped a brush in the ink and wrote it down on paper.

The other brothers and sisters also sent their blessings and made wishes for the new year.

"It's getting late, I'll go back first, the grand court meeting tomorrow, Auntie is still busy." Li Yuechen suggested.

The older brothers and sisters didn't have any complaints, and they all bowed to their mother and left.

Wu Zetian didn't ask to stay either, now that he is getting older, he really can't stay with them anymore, while he still has time to sleep a little longer, there will be a lot of things to do tomorrow.

After the children left, the smile on Wu Zetian's face did not fade in the slightest, and she returned to the inner hall to wash and rest with a satisfied face.

Now that the country is booming, the key is that she, the emperor, is not particularly busy, and the children don't make trouble. For her, it is like a fairy day.

The only dissatisfaction is that Li Yuechen has never been interested in the throne, which makes her feel helpless as a mother.

……

On the way back to the Princess Mansion, the carriage was driving slowly in the cold winter night, Li Yuechen was hugging Shangguan Wan'er's neck and apologizing frantically.

"Oh, it's my fault. You shouldn't have made a fool of yourself. Don't be angry anymore..." While comforting her, she rubbed her face, trying to make her laugh.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at the empty path outside the window: "Wan'er is not angry, don't think too much, Your Highness."

"No matter how you look at it, you are angry." Li Yuechen shook her hand, "I just wanted to make a joke, so I won't play tricks on you next time!"

"It's okay for Your Highness to tease me, but don't tease me outside in the future..." Shangguan Wan'er replied in a low voice.

"Yeah, don't worry, it won't happen!" Li Yuechen nodded repeatedly.

To be honest, Shangguan Wan'er was quite happy that a dignified princess could condescend to comfort her like this. At least it showed that she was still very important in His Highness's heart, and she deserved an apology from the actual emperor.

Of course, she knew the seriousness, so she didn't continue to play petty temper, but immediately changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I tried it again later, and the lime egg tastes pretty good."

"Let me just say, it's because your bite was too big." Li Yuechen said with a smile, "Take small bites, and dip some vinegar and ginger to make it taste better. You can always trust me with delicious food!"

Shangguan Wan'er grinned: "That's right, Your Highness has been able to eat since childhood. After dawn, the sage will entertain the ministers, and they will be able to feast on it."

"The state banquet is also a part of the national culture. It can also let the foreign envoys feel the cultural heritage of our country from the food. It is still very important." Li Yuechen replied, "That's why I brought people back from Qingdao."
