Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 90 The Little Kid Appears (Second Watch for Tickets)

The Nth Family Dinner of Datang Dynasty is here!Attending the dinner were Comrade Li Er, the core leader of the second generation of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er's wife, the Empress Changsun; representatives of male children: Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Tai, and Li Zhi, a child full of deciduous teeth, and more than a dozen His Royal Highnesses ( Li Zhi is about to appear); female baby representatives: Princess Yuzhang, Princess Changle, Princess Lanling, Princess Gaoyang and more than ten princesses (there are many princesses who have not been titled yet, because their names cannot be found in the history books, so use Its title after adulthood is called).

A small table for one person, neatly set up, and when everyone is ready``````It’s not so much a family dinner, it’s better to say that it’s a meal in the kindergarten of the Tang Dynasty`````` because it’s really```too lively !It’s okay for the older ones to eat by themselves, but for the younger ones it’s hard to manage.For example, Li Zhi, a child, ran to the empress Changsun's arms to act like a baby, and then ran to Changle's elder sister. He didn't recognize his birth, and pointed his tender fingers at the steamed lion head on the table in Changle and said, "Sister, I am Want this!"

The maid who was in charge of Li Zhi's life guarded him carefully, fearing that the little ancestor would be bumped by accident.You can't say that there is one on his own table, just now when the court lady said something when she was acting like a baby in the arms of the eldest grandson empress, the little ancestor ignored it.The authentic old lady waved her hand to indicate that it was okay, and the old man even served him food with her own hands. The maid felt that there was no need to say anything, as long as she took good care of her.

Changle has been very unhappy these days, her face has lost a lot of weight, I really feel sorry for her.The little brother came over to act like a spoiled child, and Chang Le's face looked a lot better.Chang Le struggled to hold the baby Li Zhi on his lap, let him sit still, then broke the lion's head into small pieces with chopsticks, and gave them to his younger brother to eat.

Li Zhi was very happy, with his small mouth bulging, he said vaguely: "It's delicious, and I want more." Changle waited for him to swallow, first brought him a glass of water to rinse him, then picked up a piece and handed it to his brother's mouth .

Li Zhi was very obedient at this time, seeing that his sister didn't want to eat, he even gave in: "My sister will eat too."

"Okay, let's eat together." Seeing that his younger brother is so cute and sensible, Changle is in a good mood, so he also took a bite and started to eat. Not to mention, the method taught by Jin Yu is indeed much better than that of the previous imperial chef, which makes people appetite.

Children are greedy for food, and Li Zhi's little milk baby still leaks a little bit from time to time, so Chang Le feeds his younger brother and wipes his mouth at the same time.Seeing Li Er and his eldest grandson nodding vigorously, this girl is good, whoever marries is blessed!
There are also two nurses at the bottom of the table, except for the maids around them, it can be said that no one cares about them, and they eat their own food.These two girls are none other than Princess Lanling and Princess Gaoyang.

Gao Yang is not very unfamiliar with this kind of banquet, after all, she has participated in it more than ten times a year since she can remember, but she is a little strange to that high-ranking person.The maids around her said they wanted to call him Father Emperor, his own father, but she was really not familiar with her, and she seldom was alone, and more often she played alone in the back garden, occasionally with the people around her. Sister Shu is playing.

"Sister, this is delicious, I'll give you some." Li Shu tasted the sweet and sour pork tenderloin, which was delicious, sour and sweet.Looking at his small bowl, it was very little. After struggling for a while, he made up his mind to give some to his sister.

"Thank you sister, I'll give you some of this too." Gao Yang unsteadily picked up the small plate of pig's ears on his table, and let Li Shu say, "Crispy and delicious."

Looking at the two young ladies who loved each other, their personal maids smiled at each other, and hurried forward to take the dish for their master.

"Princess, why don't you go and get close to your majesty and the queen?" It is a customary habit on such occasions that children who rarely get close to their father and emperor can go to show up at will to show their existence.Of course, the maid also hopes that her master can be favored by His Majesty, so that her future will be brighter, so she reminded Li Shu as told by Li Shu's mother and concubine.

Li Shu had been told by her concubine several times before she came, and she had a vague feeling in her heart that she wanted to do this, but she didn't know why.Glancing at the maid behind him, then at Sister Gao Yang, he said, "Sister, let's go together."

Gao Yang shook his head, he didn't want to go, he always felt that the person was unfamiliar, and even a little scared.

"Let's go, sister. Don't be afraid, my sister is here." Li Shu stood up, went to Gao Yang and held her hand, encouraging her.

Gao Yang hesitated for a while, but got up and obeyed.

The banquet had just started, except for the baby boy Li Zhi who went to act like a baby, there were no princes or princesses, so Li Shu and Gao Yang's party was quite eye-catching.

Two little sisters, wearing the same clothes, with the same hairstyle, holding hands.Li Shu was more courageous, walking in front, Gao Yang was a little shy, and let Li Shu pull him. From the side, it looked like Li Shu was pulling Gao Yang.

"My daughter, Li Shu, send my greetings to the emperor and the empress." Li Shu pulled Gao Yang up to Li Er, and said what the concubine mother taught her. After speaking, she found that Gao Yang was silent, so she shook Gao Yang's arm. Without making a sound, Li Shu said again: "There is also sister Gao Yang, and sister Gao Yang also pays respects to father and mother."

Li Shu's words, especially the latter one, reminded Li Er that he also has a daughter named Gao Yang.So Li Er waved to Gao Yang and said, "Come, come here, give me a hug from my father."

Maybe it was Li Er's smiling face that frightened Gao Yang. After all, he was not familiar with him. Gao Yang timidly hid behind Li Shu, only showing his small head.

Seeing his daughter being so strange to him, Li Er felt uncomfortable. It seemed that he was a bit dereliction of duty as a father.So Li Er got up and walked to the two daughters, squatted down and hugged the two cute little girls in his arms, one on each side, not too heavy.

Li Shu didn't know her birth, and she was very courageous. After all, she still had a biological mother who loved her very much. After being picked up by Li Er, she still giggled.Gao Yang was much more nervous than Li Shu, her little hands were tightly holding on to her sister's clothes and refused to let go.Being hugged by a stranger, nervousness is unavoidable, if Li Shu was not by her side, Gao Yang would probably cry.

Li Er hugged the two back to his seat, the more he looked at her, the more he liked it, after all, she was his daughter, her bones were broken and her tendons were still connected, both hands were occupied, and she couldn't pinch that delicate face, So he kissed each of the two daughters on the cheeks one after another.

Li Shu was itchy from being scratched by Li Er's beard, she giggled and said, "Father, itchy." But Gao Yang was afraid of being frightened and cried, he supported Li Er's shoulder with his small hand, struggling to get off.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson made a relief and said, "Your Majesty, hand over Gao Yang to my concubine."

After Li Er put Gao Yang down, he felt very ashamed, and said with emotion: "It seems that my father has neglected his duties."

"Speaking of which, it's the concubine, isn't it? Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, and it's the concubine who hasn't fulfilled her responsibilities as a queen mother." The eldest grandson couldn't help but pick up Gao Yang, because she had a big belly now, so he could only wipe Gao Yang at the same time. With tears in his eyes, he said.

"No matter how busy I am, I am still the father of the children." Li Er lost his temper, handed Li Shu to the maid who heard the sound, turned to his eldest grandson and said, "Especially Gao Yang, I have owed her a lot! People from Lizhen Not too old, but she is sensible and knows how to love her sister. Choose a day and make them two princesses."

"Well, let Your Majesty order." The eldest grandson did not object, nodded in agreement, patted the head of Gao Yang who was still sobbing, and handed it to the maid.

"I see that Qingque is also here, how is this child doing recently?" Li Er saw that Li Tai was eating alone, but Li Chengqian and Li Ke were chatting and laughing.

"A few days ago, Tai'er sent a letter to his concubine, saying that he was wrong, and asked his concubine to intercede for him." The eldest grandson shook his head and said, "Tai'er really went too far this time."

"Well, I shouldn't have used my own sister to criticize Jin Guitang. Let him remember this time." Li Er was heartbroken. With his own precedent, he really didn't want to see his child Handicapped.

Empress Changsun nodded in response, and said, "Weide is quite sensible, and often asks for things from Guitang to amuse Changle. These delicacies are also learned by Weide's imperial chef."

"How can Jin Gui Tang know so many things? Gao Ming (Li Chengqian's character) recommended him to me today, saying that the pinyin method created by Gui Tang is very useful." Li Er was very puzzled, making people I went to search for Jinyu's teacher but couldn't find it. Looking at his young age, how could there be so many?

"It's a good thing, Your Majesty, wouldn't it be good if someone could use it?" Empress Changsun poured a glass of wine for Li Er with a smile.

"That's right, let's talk about it after this kid gets married." Li Er drank it all in one gulp, this shochu was really exciting.

"Guitang is getting married? Which family's daughter?" The eldest grandson had no contact with Li Er's spies, so of course she didn't know, and this was the first time she heard about it.

Li Er nodded and said, "The one I rescued on the way was recognized by Hu Guo as his goddaughter."

"Hey, it's not easy for Guitang to walk out of the desert for thousands of miles. He is also a person who has made great contributions to the country, let alone Hu Guogong. Let's show it to Yichen and my concubine." .

"Well, according to what you said." Li Er also likes Jin Yu now, how could there be such a good wine before?
