Tang Dynasty: What! My mother is actually Empress Zhangsun

When the door opened, he saw a beautiful woman standing at the door, with a pair of starry eyes staring at him blankly.

At that moment, Li Nian was stunned.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman.

There are thousands of good-looking people in the world, but the woman in front of him, although dressed in simple clothes, has a noble temperament like a god, which makes people dare not look directly at her.

If you have to describe it, it is four words.

Stunning!

Here, Empress Changsun looked at Li Nian in front of her and was stunned.

That handsome appearance is 80% similar to her. Although it was only the first time they met, she felt particularly cordial. The affinity in the blood made her almost unable to stabilize her mind.

Looking at the scene of the mother and son looking at each other with yearning, Huan'er on the side coughed twice, interrupting their gaze.

"Who are you?"

Li Nian blushed.

"Ah, sir, we are here to visit relatives. May I ask if this is Old Man Li's home?"

Huan'er, who was standing by, had already prepared her words and asked,

"Oh, sorry, you must have come to the wrong place."

Li Nian said,"There is no old man Li here, I live here alone."

Huan'er had already thought of a response, and when she heard Li Nian say this, her eyebrows sank and she looked flustered.

"Huh? No way, this address is clearly Old Man Li's home!"

"What should we do? We originally went to seek refuge with relatives, but now we have run out of money. If we can’t find anyone, what should we do?

Seeing that they were both women and it was getting dark, Li Nian changed his mind and stepped aside, saying:

"I live alone in this courtyard. If you two don't mind, please come in!"

Li Nian was inexperienced. In the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible to invite a woman into one's home, not to mention that he was a man alone.

However, Empress Changsun and the others had this purpose. When they saw Li Nian asking to stay, they immediately showed a happy expression on their faces.

"Thank you very much, young master!"

After entering the lobby, Li Nian brought hot tea and said with a smile:"You two came at a great time. The yard has just been cleaned. If you had come yesterday, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have a place to step."

Empress Changsun asked knowingly:"Why, did you just move in, too?"

""Yes!"

Li Nian smiled and nodded.

Somehow, he always felt that the beautiful woman in front of him always looked at him in a strange way.

What was strange about it was that her burning eyes were a little unbearable.

Li Nian touched his chin and thought to himself:"Could it be that this young master is really so handsome? Even this woman can't resist his charm?"

"Where are you from, sir?"

"People from Liangzhou"

"Why are you coming to Chang'an?"

"Searching for relatives"

"Have you ever found it?"

"Did not find"

"......"

After a conversation, Empress Changsun asked Li Nian about his background. Seeing that he answered naturally and didn't seem to be false, she felt much more relieved.

At this moment, she was already 80% sure that the young man in front of her was her child, Li Kuan!

"I wonder what this aunt's name is?"

Empress Changsun said,"I took my husband's surname, which is Li."

"Oh, Aunt Li!"

Li Nian asked curiously,"Aunt Li came to the capital to look for her husband?"

Empress Changsun was stunned. She didn't know what she was thinking, but nodded.

"What does Uncle Li do in the capital?"

"Be a minor official in the government office in the capital."

Empress Changsun said with a smile

"" So she is from an official family, no wonder she has such a temperament!"

Li Nian thought to himself.

Although Aunt Li was dressed simply, her noble temperament was untainted by the mud and made people awe.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Li Nian said,"Aunt Li, please wait a moment. I will go to light the fire and cook."

Seeing Li Nian trotting away to work, Empress Chang Sun asked repeatedly,"Why bother so much? Let's go out to eat. Aunt will take you to the winery to enjoy delicious food."

But Li Nian waved her hands and said,"The food outside is not as delicious as the one at home. Aunt will wait for a moment.""

"Huan'er, why don't you go and help the young master!"

Seeing Li Nian's persistence, Empress Changsun had to give up.

However, when she thought about eating the meal cooked by her own son, she was inexplicably looking forward to it.

Although she was an empress and had all the wealth in the world, she had never enjoyed such treatment.

"Huan'er, the young master is here to help you!"

The little palace maid was very perceptive and quickly chased to the kitchen to help.

"No, no, no, I want to cook. You don't know how to cook, so don't help me!"

At this time, Empress Zhangsun also came to the kitchen and saw Li Nian expertly killing the old hen, plucking the feathers for later use, and taking out a fresh crucian carp from the wooden barrel to remove the scales.

But the stove was a little unique. Li Nian rolled up his sleeves, cut the pieces expertly, and then heated the oil in a wok. After making money, he naturally couldn't treat himself badly.

The family raised several chickens and half a pig, so Li Nian could finally eat fried dishes.

In the Tang Dynasty, the diet was nothing more than steaming, boiling, and roasting. Fried dishes were not popular, and for people like Li Nian, they were not used to it at all.

Therefore, this stove was also specially made.

In the setting sun, looking at the busy figures in the kitchen... Seeing the shadow and the smile on Li Nian's face, Empress Changsun outside the door felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

This child has suffered a lot!

There are houses with small bridges and flowing water, smoke curling up, women cooking, and children playing in the yard.

She has only seen this kind of scene in poems, but has never experienced it in person.

Now, in this small courtyard, looking at the satisfied smile on Li Nian's face, her uneasy mood suddenly relaxed.

After a while, the rich aroma of food came from the kitchen.

Li Nian brought the dishes to the main room and said with a smile:"Aunt, try the chicken stewed with mushrooms, crucian carp soup, and farm-style fried meat that I made!"

"I guarantee you've never eaten it before!"

Seeing the stove dust on Li Nian's nose, Empress Changsun took up her handkerchief and wiped it on his face with concern, her face full of a doting smile.

"You kid, you are always so impatient. Look at your face."

"Forehead..."

Even Li Nian, a modern person, felt that something was wrong with such an intimate action.

Li Nian picked up the handkerchief and wiped it randomly, then said with a smile:"Auntie, try my cooking skills!"

""Hey!"

Of course I have to taste the food cooked by my own son.

Empress Changsun took a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

"So delicious!"

Seeing the expression on Empress Changsun's face, Li Nian smiled proudly and said,"How is it? My cooking skills are not bad!"

Empress Changsun couldn't wait to serve another bowl of crucian carp soup, and immediately praised it repeatedly.

"Delicious!"

"Nian'er, where did you learn this skill?"

Li Nian said with emotion:"I learned this skill when I was traveling around the world, hungry and full.

In my previous life, he had been studying abroad, so he was not used to the food, so he often cooked by himself.

That's right, this statement is correct.

But when Empress Changsun heard it, she felt bad.

A child without a mother, alone and helpless, had to endure so much hardship.

The more sensible Li Nian was, the more guilty Empress Changsun felt.

"You have suffered!"

Putting down the chopsticks, he saw tears in the corners of her eyes and she was crying softly.

"Hey, hey, hey, auntie, what's wrong with you?"

"There are so many delicious foods. Today is a good day. We should be happy!"

Empress Changsun wiped her tears with an embroidered handkerchief and said,"Yes, it is a good day. We are happy!"
