Chapter 19

Not long after, the prince folded it out again, and the mother and daughter checked their dress and appearance again before following the prince into the palace.

The decoration in the hall was somewhat unexpected to Yang Xiaoran, it was not as luxurious as imagined, but rather simple.

In the center of the main hall sits a man about 28 or [-] years old. His appearance is extremely handsome, and his sculpted silhouette is resolute and full of masculine beauty. Looking at himself, a sense of majesty rushed to his face.

And on his left sat a very beautiful and dignified woman, with a pair of slashed pupils full of tenderness, the outline of the whole face is very three-dimensional, but because of those gentle eyes, It is sharp but has a special beauty.

Mrs. Pei was also slightly surprised, she only heard the queen's call but didn't know that the emperor was here, and immediately saluted: "The concubine Chengmen Pei's daughter pays homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Yang Xiaoran was taken aback, this is Li Shimin? !
That one emperor through the ages? !Li Xiaoer?

Seeing her standing there in a daze, Mrs. Pei immediately reminded in a low voice: "Bad boy, why don't you show your majesty a gift?"

"Ah? Oh..."

Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty was not like the later Ming and Qing Dynasties. The emperor and his ministers all sat down. In the Song Dynasty, the courtiers stood on the ground. In the Qing Dynasty, even if they were the prince's teacher, they had to kneel to teach the prince.

At this moment, people in the inner court, not a grand meeting, don't need to kneel down three times and bow down nine times, or even kneel down, just bend their knees and perform Wan'an salute.

According to the rules of this era, Yang Xiaoran put his hands on top of his right hand, folded his left hand on his waist, bent slightly, and saluted: "The daughter of Chengmen pays homage to Your Majesty, and to the Empress."

When a woman salutes, the right hand is on the top, and the left hand is on the bottom, which means auspicious prayers, and vice versa; it is just the opposite when men salute.

Yang Xiaoran has been in Datang for ten years, and he still knows this bit of etiquette, even if Mrs. Pei didn't teach him, he wouldn't make jokes.

Sometimes she is thankful that she was a baby when she first arrived, which gave her more time to get used to the rules of this era without making jokes.

"Pingshen, bestow a seat."

Soon, Xiao Huangmen brought in futons. Naturally, he still sat on his knees. The posture was very uncomfortable, but the emperor couldn't be presumptuous now, so he had to endure the discomfort and sit down.

In his heart, he secretly thought, just after making money, he would have people build the furniture of later generations later, and sitting like this all day would definitely make something wrong.

After complaining about the inhuman treatment of the Tang Dynasty, he turned his attention to Li Shimin.

For some reason, when Yang Xiaoran first entered the Duke's Mansion, he was shocked by the aura of the Duke's Mansion.But after a few days of making the state's daughter, the gallbladder was finally fattened.Reminiscent of the generosity of this eternal emperor in history, he became more courageous.

Even Wei Renjing can bear it, so why not take a look at His Majesty?
Tsk tsk, Li Er and the eldest grandson both have Xianbei bloodlines, and the outline is very three-dimensional, plus some Han bloodlines are slightly neutralized, which is very in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people. It's really a beauty with a hero, pleasing to the eye!
Born as a female with matured soul, Ms. Cheng couldn't help but look at this handsome uncle twice, and she felt like drooling, handsome, so handsome!

Pei has been paying attention to Yang Xiaoran, seeing her being so rude, she couldn't help coughing again.

But her good girl was as deaf at the moment, and continued to watch Li Er and his wife without seeing anything.

Li Shimin and his eldest grandson are also looking at Yang Xiaoran at this moment, and they are also very curious about Cheng Yaojin's return of the pearl for this high-ranking disciple.Seeing the child looking at the two of them with admiration on his face, he suddenly felt that the child really had the demeanor of a superior man, and he did not stick to etiquette but had a heart of innocence. (what look?)

Especially Li Shimin, he is an egomaniac in his bones, Yang Xiaoran's eyes flattered him, his heart softened, he no longer put on the emperor's airs, and joked softly: "Daughter of the Cheng family, have you seen enough?"

"Not enough, not enough, Your Majesty is so handsome!"

Yang Xiaoran, who was fascinated by the sight, blurted out, and suddenly woke up when the words came out. He was in the feudal era, but the land in front of him was the Son of Heaven!

"handsome?"

Li Xiaoer didn't know why, but felt that the word should be a compliment, so he asked with a smile, "What do you mean handsome?"

Pei Shi was sweating profusely, and there were several ice basins in the hall, but she still felt hot, and even felt dizzy.

This girl is really daring, she was mistaken.

"Shuai means wise and powerful, and it was my master who taught me."

Satisfied with his quick wit, Yang Xiaoran quickly looked at his eldest grandson and said, "Your Majesty is also so radiant that people can't take their eyes off."

"Ha ha!"

Li Shimin laughed out loud, only to find that Tong Yan Wuji was very funny, and the eldest grandson beside him was also holding his embroidered handkerchief and half covering his mouth and smiling foolishly.

Everyone likes to hear compliments. Obviously, a certain girl's age is very deceptive, and they don't associate it with morality. They just feel that this child is different from other aristocratic children. Then relax down.

Seeing Longyan Dayue, Mrs. Pei secretly heaved a sigh of relief, got up and saluted quickly: "The concubine has no way to teach a daughter, your majesty and empress forgive me."

"It's okay."

Li Shimin seemed to be in a good mood, and he waved his hand generously, which made a certain old house girl feel good about him.

"Along the way, the weather is hot, little guy, are you hungry?"

Yang Xiaoran nodded vigorously, thinking to herself, the girl is lucky, can she eat the legendary imperial meal now?
The eldest grandson clapped his hands with a smile, and the maid served two plates of snacks. Yang Xiaoran saw it, his face turned dark, and he exclaimed, "This, this, isn't this?"

Cold sweat broke out.

What a cunning Li Xiaoer!Sure enough, the belly is black!

Favors disappeared, put away the thoughts of looking at the handsome man, and began to deal with it cautiously.

"Hehe..." The eldest grandson smiled very gently, "Your Majesty heard that you were taught by a foreigner, and he was afraid that you would not be used to entering Chang'an, so he sent someone to Xiaoqingguan to have a look, so as to know that you, a foreigner and a high-ranking disciple, usually like you more. What."

"That's right. It's my father, Yizhen, who made great military exploits for our Great Tang. I must take care of his lost daughter."

"What a pair of dogs and men!"

Yang Xiaoran cursed secretly in his heart, indeed, he could become the emperor of the ages, and the empresses of the ages are not easy-going lamps.To deal with a child in harmony, they are really...

I have never seen such a brazen person!
I really want to offer this sentence!

Unfortunately, she dared not.Who made this an era when the emperor could decide life and death with one word, and lay down millions of corpses in one rage?
we……

Endure it!

With an "excited" look on her face, she said to Pei Shi: "Mother, mother, I, I, Your Majesty..."

Thinking desperately about his tragic life experience, he squeezed out two tears, obviously "moved" by Comrade Li Xiaoer to the point of death.

Then he knelt down with a plop, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Integrity, drifting away...

At this moment, my heart was really hurt, and the tears came true.

Shit is thinking about yourself, you don't worry about yourself at all, you are afraid that you have ulterior motives, and you still say it so nicely, dear, you are so good at pretending, does your father know?
Sure enough, pretty people are cunning, stay away from dog couples, and cherish life!

"If it's a little different..."

The eldest grandson stepped forward to help Yang Xiaoran up, took out an embroidered handkerchief and gently wiped away Yang Xiaoran's tears, looked at her carefully, and said softly: "My good boy, it's really hard, there is no need to perform such a big gift."

With tears in the corners of Yang Xiaoran's eyes, he nodded with emotion.

Li Shimin chuckled, and said: "The queen is right, let's have some snacks first."

After Yang Xiaoran thanked her, she sat back in her seat. Just as she was about to eat, she heard Li Xiaoer say: "Do you know how to make this pancake?"

Yang Xiaoran nodded, "Return to Your Majesty, just fry the flour and knead it into pancakes with heavy objects, then dry them."

Even if she was killed, she would not dare to say that locusts were added to the biscuits. What if Li Xiaoer had already tasted them?Now that this matter is clear, this Li Xiaoer is using the name of his wife to recruit self-consciousness into the palace, what good idea does he have for a big kid?Bring out this compressed biscuit again, so his purpose is ready to come out.

Yang Xiaoran didn't dare to hide her clumsiness on this, she still wanted to improve her life in Datang, she lied now, and when Li Er saw the clues in the future, would she still have a good life?

Besides, don't you have a dead ghost master?The master taught me the knowledge and the brothers were not there, even the two idiots felt that their abilities were taught by the master, and it was a compromise to push him.

At this moment, Yang Xiaoran figured out all the joints, pressed his chaotic thoughts, looked for praise, and looked at the dog couple with big cute eyes.

"It turns out that the flour needs to be fried first..."

Li Shimin showed a suddenly realized expression, and asked again: "Your master also has some tricks..."

After a pause, he frowned and said: "It's just that you are too extravagant and wasteful. The pancakes are so sweet, and the icing is not cheap. My soldiers, including my father, are now using vinegar cloth as condiment in the army. You Well..."

"Father uses vinegar cloth as a condiment?"

Yang Xiaoran opened his eyes wide, he couldn't believe it, isn't his father the Duke of the country?How can vinegar cloth be used as seasoning?I have tasted that thing myself, and when I was in the most difficult time, I used it as a condiment when I was cooking. The taste of that thing is ecstasy, which cannot be described with words in the world.

Li Shimin felt that he was a little harsh. The daughter of the Cheng family in front of him was just a child, how could she know the misery in the world?Being able to take good care of those two silly brothers is already very capable.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said: "It's not that your father can't afford salt. As a general in the army, the treatment is always different. There is always someone who can't eat green salt and coarse salt. It's just that your father set an example and has to be with you. All the soldiers share weal and woe, so we only use vinegar cloth as condiment."

"what!"

Yang Xiaoran let out a soft breath, and suddenly became respectful to his cheap father whom he had never met. It's not easy to do this!
Isn't it just salt?There are no salt mines in Lanzhou and Guanzhong, so why don't we just find someone to dig them?

 What about your recommendation ticket?Suddenly lost motivation, really want to strike!
