Ji Tang

Chapter 1032 Pingyang: That’s mine, don’t touch it!
It is easier for the eldest grandson to prepare meals, but it is not simple either.Simple because they are ordinary dishes, common dishes.It’s not simple because at least half of the dishes are cooked by Changsun himself.

In the Tang Dynasty, the only person who could receive such treatment was the emperor. This was only done every once in a while, and there were not many opportunities to get it.

The eldest grandson didn't know how to cook before. The most she could do was make a bowl of good porridge. Then she became interested in cooking for some unknown reason. She was so surprised that she called the cook from Ji's house into the palace and taught her for half a month.

When the cook came back, he was completely fine. He didn't say anything even if asked, but his servants said that in the dead of night, the cook secretly cried in bed alone, shouting something that was a waste of natural resources.

Ji Run's meal was not bad. It would have been better if the emperor's grandfather didn't have the cannibalistic look in his eyes.

The food cooked by Grandma Changsun cannot be said to be very good, but it is pretty good. At least the taste is normal.As the mother of a country, it is considered good to be able to cook food to this extent, and morale cannot be discouraged. Anyway, during the meal, he would pour out anything nice to say as if he wanted no money, which made Li Shimin's face twitch.

That's not all. After saying this, he immediately received a dissatisfied expression from his eldest grandson.

After finally finishing the meal, Li Shimin led Ji Run out without saying a word.The eldest grandson just smiled when he saw it, and asked someone to prepare some desserts and tea. Just now, the two of them were rushing to eat like children, and now they are probably all exhausted. It would be better to drink some tea later!

When they arrived at the Royal Garden, Li Shimin put Ji Run down and said angrily: "Who did you learn these flattering skills from? You can't even eat a meal, and your father has never been like this."

Ji Run quickly arranged her clothes, pretending to be innocent and said: "My grandma said, there is no harm in having a sweet mouth. She told me to praise beautiful women when I see them. When I see an elder, I will ask him about his past achievements. She said this It can bring the relationship between the two people closer. He also said that big people like to hear nice things. Although they don’t say it with their mouths, they don’t know how to enjoy themselves in their hearts.”

After saying that, he looked at Li Shimin innocently and said, "Grandpa Emperor, do you think this is the case?"

Uh!
Li Shimin glared at this bastard boy fiercely, and said angrily: "It's all nonsense. As the saying goes, the sage is close to the sage, and the villain is far away. This is what the ancients warned us. Don't listen to these things. You will have to treat grandpa more in the future. To be honest, grandpa will like you more like this, do you hear me?"

Ji Run nodded quickly, but whispered in a low voice: "No wonder dad said that people are the most duplicitous."

"What did you just say? Say it again?"

Li Shimin frowned and looked at Ji Run, what the hell did he teach you?Such a good child is almost ruined by their teachings.No, we can’t let this child spend too much time with his father from now on, otherwise he will become a little fox again.

How about being simpler?In the past, what I said was what I said, but now I know how to refute it?This is not possible!

"Tell me about it, you are one of the few leading captains in the Tang Dynasty. Although he is not a big official, he is still a general who can lead thousands of people. He is about to become an adult and get married, so he will have something to do in the future, right? "

"A man should take it as his own duty to make contributions and build a career. Don't imitate your father. He is lazy. As long as you have some enterprising spirit, you won't want to hang around like you are now!"

Ji Run didn't care at first, but when he heard his father being mentioned like this, it didn't matter.He frowned and said, "That's not the case. My father is a great hero in my heart. I have never seen anyone as smart as him."

Perhaps because he saw that the emperor's grandfather's face was not very good-looking, he quickly said: "Of course, except grandpa!"

Li Shimin smiled, touched his head and said with emotion: "Your father, of course he is good. Wen Cai is the poet who created a generation of genres. In the Tang Dynasty, the younger generation can only look up to him. . When it comes to martial arts, he is second to none in both martial arts and combat, there is no need to say that."

But then the conversation changed, and he said with some hatred: "But it's just too lazy. If grandpa hadn't been forcing it to do things from behind, he wouldn't have known where to go to be happy."

"You can't imitate your father, that's not good!"

Seeing the boy finally nodding, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief. It's getting harder and harder to fool this boy now. I wonder if Cheng Qian will be able to fool him in a few years?
But thinking that this kid married his own granddaughter, Cheng Qian's eldest daughter, even if something happened, he would just give her a good beating.No matter how high an official you are, it is only natural for your father-in-law to beat your son-in-law!
"Tell me, what do you want to do? Don't look down on me, and don't listen to your father's words. A good young man should be energetic, and a young man should make contributions and leave a name in history. If everyone is like him, Datang How can we grow stronger?”

Ji Run was confused and didn't know what to say, but seeing what the emperor's grandpa wanted, he had to make a choice.

"I don't know either. Just look at the arrangements. You can go anywhere. But don't be too busy. I'm getting married soon. You can't be too busy!"

Li Shimin said with a look of disdain: "Look at your potential? Huh, come to me tomorrow. Qianniu Guards is one less captain, and your official position is just right. Be a guard by my side!"

"understood!"

Ji Run suddenly felt a little weak, working as a guard for the emperor?What's the difference between this fucker and a bitch?
However, it is indeed leisurely. What dangers can there be in Chang'an City?
"You look a little unhappy? You kid, don't be dissatisfied. I'm willing to come to you if others want to come. Don't be ungrateful, kid!"

"No way, I'm just thinking about being able to be with you in the future, and I'm excited. Is that possible?"

Li Shimin was completely helpless. Ji Song, who was annoying all day long, was replaced by a mangy plaster with a playful smile. I don't know what evil I did in my previous life to meet these two father and son?
"Okay, get out of here if you have nothing to do! Remember to report in tomorrow, otherwise you'll have to watch your skin carefully!"

"roll!"

After saying that, he kicked the kid. Well, the feet felt pretty good. It felt comfortable for the young man to kick him!

Ji Run left, happy and dejected.Even when he came out of the palace, he was rejected by Zhang Wei when he invited him to have a drink. He was really not interested!

Seeing that it was still early, I thought about it and turned into the West Market.When he came out, a birdcage appeared in his hand. After teasing him a few times, the colorful birds in the cage actually made human sounds.

"Good luck to you!"

"Good luck to you!"

Ji Run couldn't put it down when he held it in his hand. Unexpectedly, he just wanted to buy some gifts for his aunt and grandma, but he met a businessman from the Western Regions.This bird was sold by a merchant.

It's just a bit expensive, costing more than 100 pieces.I felt heartbroken when I thought that my six-month monthly payment was gone.But when I saw the gift in my hand, my heartache was instantly forgotten.

As long as I make my aunt happy, what can I get?

So, he hurriedly asked his entourage to go back and deliver the news, saying that he was not going home.

In the eldest princess's mansion, Pingyang was practicing swordplay this day. Although she was no longer on the battlefield, her martial arts skills had never fallen behind.

He felt unwell even if he didn't practice for a while every day. While he was practicing swordsmanship, he suddenly saw the housekeeper coming in with a young man. She frowned and was about to scold him, but she found that the young man looked nothing like Ji Song. The boy was exactly the same, and I was immediately delighted!
"watch out!"

Just when Ji Run's housekeeper said this, he suddenly shouted loudly and saw a cold light coming towards him.He quickly pushed the old housekeeper away and went to greet him.

Although he had been on the battlefield for several years, his kung fu skills were also very high on the battlefield.But being trained by Ji Song since he was a child, his martial arts skills are no joke.

He took a moment to come to the weapon rack, casually pulled out a horizontal knife, and slashed behind him without looking.

Bang, sparks flew everywhere, and the two of them took a few steps back at the same time.

"Good boy, good strength!"

Pingyang praised happily and stabbed out with his sword without saying a word.Ji Run didn't dare to neglect, and he also tried to show off his tactics.The light of their swords was cold and clear, but they were both women, and they were able to open and close their swords widely.One holds a horizontal sword, sometimes arrogant, sometimes cunning, sometimes unexpected, and very difficult to deal with.

As time goes by, Pingyang gradually falls into a disadvantage.After all, he is older, and of course his physical strength is not as good as that of a young boy who is still in his teens!
Tear!

The friction sound of weapons was extremely harsh. Ji Run stood up straight and struck forward, and was stunned to make a gap in Pingyang's sword.For a moment, the door in front of Pingyang was wide open. At this time, if the enemy Pingyang was alive, he would be disemboweled.

Swish!
Ji Run's horizontal knife stopped less than an inch in front of Pingyang. He looked at the furious Pingyang with a smile and said, "Thank you for your mercy, auntie!"

"Bah, grandma is just grandma, and what my aunt and grandma are saying doesn't sound right to me." He threw away his sword and said angrily, "If you lose, you lose. It's not shameful for me, an old woman, to lose to you, a young man!"

Ji Run quickly threw away the horizontal sword, stepped forward to support Pingyang, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? I have been practicing martial arts with you since I was a child. At least half of this martial arts was taught by you. I beat you." That's called being a person who is better than an expert. If you tell people about it, people will only say that Princess Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty is not only a woman who is not inferior to men, but she is also the best at teaching her disciples."

"Do you think that's the truth?"

Pingyang rolled his eyes, grabbed the back of the kid's neck and said, "You're a much sharper talker than your father, but you made a mistake in trying to trick me!"

"But you're right!"

She raised her neck proudly and said, "I taught you your skills. No one can deny this."

Ji Run curled her lips secretly and thought to herself: That's it?
"That's it, don't look at who you are? You are the first woman to lead troops in combat since ancient times, except for the good wives of the Shang Dynasty. Don't you know that when the soldiers mention you on the grassland, you are quite... I admire you, I regret that I was born a few years late, otherwise I would have followed you to conquer the world with a sword."

Pingyang smiled and narrowed his eyes, but said indifferently: "Don't listen to their nonsense, it's all the same."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he turned back and asked, "Did the soldiers really say that?"

The corner of Ji Run's mouth twitched, but his face remained calm as he said, "That's right, I can't lie to you!"

"Huh, let me pass the test!"

Pingyang finally let Ji Run go and ordered him to go to the backyard.

"Grandma, wait a minute, I have a gift for you!"

After saying that, without waiting for Pingyang to speak, he asked the housekeeper to bring the birdcage over.Before I even got there, I heard a cry of "Good luck to you!" '

"Who is speaking!"

Pingyang frowned and looked around but there was no one else there. He thought he heard wrongly.

"Good luck to you!"

"Good luck to you!"

"Who?"

Pingyang now confirmed that he heard correctly, and finally turned his gaze to the colorful bird in the cage.

"Good luck to you!"

Pingyang was shocked. He pointed at the birdcage and said in disbelief: "Is this the bird talking?"

Ji Run did not explain, but teased the bird a few times with his hands, and heard a shout from his mouth: "Good luck to you!"

"It's really talking!"

Pingyang couldn't care about anything else now. He quickly pushed Ji Run away and held the birdcage in his hands.

"Call one more!"

"Good luck to you!"

"Call one more!"

"Good luck to you!"

"."

Pingyang seemed to have discovered a new world, constantly letting the birds talk.

"Grandma, there is a saying in raising birds. You can't do this. Come on, I'll tell you."

"do not move!"

Pingyang immediately protected the birdcage in his arms and looked at Ji Run warily, as if he was worried about being robbed!
"This is for you, why are you guarding against me?" Ji Run had a dark look on his face.

"That's not okay, it's mine now, no one is allowed to touch it!"

It’s over.

Ji Run wailed, feeling like he had shot himself in the foot for the first time!
"Master Run, what kind of bird is this? Can it actually speak human language? Has it become a spirit?"

Ji Run said feebly: "I heard my father talk about this bird. It seems to be called a parrot. There are many varieties, but because there are so few in number, there are not many people who know how to tame them, and it is basically impossible to find them in the Tang Dynasty."

"It was a coincidence that I got one today. However, there is a skill in taming it. You can't just say everything in front of it. For example, if you curse people, it will become cursed after a long time. Even if you raise such a parrot, It’s useless.”

"Say what you want it to say in front of it more often, and repeat it more often, and it will slowly learn it, and it will remember all of this."

Pingyang listened to Ji Run's words and quickly asked someone to write it down.Since Chai Shao went to Western Shu, she didn't even have anyone to talk to. Now that she has such a talking parrot, how can she not cherish it?

When I think about teaching this parrot to speak, when the queen comes, I will envy her to death!

Finally, with Ji Run's constant persuasion, Pingyang reluctantly let go of the cage and asked people to take it to his room to keep it. He also ordered others not to speak in front of the parrot for fear of spoiling the bird.

Arriving at the lobby, Pingyang asked Ji Run to sit down and said, "You are finally back. Have you been to the palace?"

"Go, I came to you as soon as I came out!"

Pingyang nodded with satisfaction. It was right to go see the emperor and empress. It would be a bad thing if this kid came to him first without any clue!

This queen of my own is not very mean-spirited!

"You came back just in time, and we were about to get married, but your father went to sea, and he didn't know when he would come back. When he left, I came through the door. He said that if he couldn't come back within half a year, he wouldn't Wait for him. You are not young anymore, and Yu'er is still two years older than you. If you wait any longer, others will gossip. So please let me solemnize your marriage."

Pingyang felt a little unmotivated.
