Li Chen looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him, a little foggy, and looked up at Taiping opposite.

Taiping is dressed relatively simply today, wearing a goose-yellow narrow-sleeved skirt, although the style is simple, but she is glamorous when worn on her. The radiant Sister Taiping rushed to Li Chen's princess courtyard, and then asked someone to serve a bowl of noodles that didn't look good.

Li Chen blinked, but still couldn't react, "Sister? ”

Taiping smiled and stuffed a pair of chopsticks into Li Chen's hand, "Sister, try it!" ”

Li Chen looked at the bowl of noodles, and then at Taiping, remembering what she said to Taiping yesterday, and immediately understood seven or eight points, she never thought that the pampered Taiping sister would one day run to learn to make longevity noodles.

For the first time, Li Chen felt what was self-inflicted, so he took a bite of it.

Taiping looked at her expectantly, "Sister, how do you feel?" ”

Li Chen's expression was really indescribable, and he felt that he had been hurt by ten thousand points.

Taiping's eyes widened, "Isn't it delicious?" ”

Li Chen said implicitly: "It's not very unpalatable. "The implication is that it's unpalatable.

Taiping frowned and took out a note, "Impossible, I did it according to the steps, how could it be unpalatable!" ”

Li Chen leaned over and saw that the paper in Taiping's hand listed the steps of one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven noodles, and she was a little dizzy, she never expected that there would be so many steps in the next noodle.

Li Chen said: "Didn't Sister let the chef demonstrate it?" ”

Taiping glanced at Li Chen and said, "Si Shan said that the following strip is very simple, since it is so simple, do you still need him to demonstrate?" ”

When Li Chen heard this, she was very speechless, so her sister is a face-loving person, she has never cooked before, and she heard Si Shan say that the following noodles are very simple, so she doesn't want others to see her clumsy cooking.

She was silent, and then said to Shangguan Wan'er beside her, "Tell the Shangshi Bureau to prepare, I want to learn Shou Mian." ”

The entire Shangshi Bureau was shocked - Princess Yongchang actually wanted to learn the following noodles! And Princess Yongchang is only so tall, can she reach the stove?!

But since the princess said that she wanted to learn, they couldn't ignore it. Everyone knows that if you offend anyone in the palace, don't offend Princess Yongchang, but if the little princess doesn't learn the following well, will she be angry with them? What if you accidentally burn and burn? Will the saints blame them?

So Li Chen's order made the people of the Shangshi Bureau feel like a great enemy.

The chef of the Shangshi Bureau trembled, for fear that Princess Yongchang would have an accident in the kitchen.

Who knew that Li Chen took a group of people to the kitchen in a mighty way, and he didn't do anything, just let the chef demonstrate how to properly put down the noodles in front of her, and then drove the idle people out, leaving only Taiping and their close maids.

One of the chefs was guarding outside the kitchen, looking at his companion next to him with a miserable face, "Princess Yongchang shouldn't burn the kitchen, right?" ”

The companion was stunned, and thought about what would happen to them if the kitchen was really burned, and they were also sad when they boarded, and they couldn't sit or stand.

At this time, Li Chen, who had specially arranged for the food bureau to demonstrate how to make noodles, stood in the kitchen and asked Taiping, "Sister, have you seen how the chef made noodles just now?" ”

Taiping glanced at her, "Of course I did. ”

Li Chen nodded, and nodded like a little adult, "It's good if you see it, just like the noodles under the chef just now, you can make another bowl, this time it will be a little more delicious." ”

In fact, the bowl of noodles just now, not only did Li Chen suffer 10,000 points of damage after eating it, but after Taiping tasted it, he was also hit by the heart. If Xue Shao's cousin had eaten such a bowl of shou noodles on his birthday, he would probably not cry with joy or sadness, but cry with unpalacy.

Taiping held Shou Noodles in his hand, intending to regain his strength and renew the next bowl of noodles. However, when she looked at Li Chen, who had been standing next to her, in the mist of white flowers, Ah Mei stared at the pot very intently, and the appearance was very cute, Taiping thought about it, and felt that if Shou Mian was made by her and Ah Mei together, it would be more meaningful, so she blurted out the thought in her heart: "Ah Mei, you also come to help, do you want to order noodles or vegetables?" ”

Li Chen turned his head, looked at Sister Taiping, and said, "But if I help, I will take this longevity noodles to my father and mother to taste." ”

Taiping was stunned, "Why?" The first time you do it, it's definitely not delicious! "The first time she made the shou noodles, it was hard to eat.

Li Chen tilted his head and smiled: "It won't be too unpalatable, because Sister Ah has done it for the second time, and my father and mother haven't tasted what I made, it's just not delicious, and they will be happy." ”

Taiping thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense, "Father will go to Qingning Palace today, then I will ask Si Qi to tell Liu Chun that we will send it to my father and mother later, and let my father not leave when he arrives at Qingning Palace." By the way, Amei, which step do you want to take? ”

Li Chen looked at the shou noodles in Taiping's hand, and then looked at some materials such as vegetables and eggs on the table, and finally said, "Well, I'll do the step of beating eggs." ”

Taiping: "......"

That's the easiest step, Ah Mei is too lazy!

Li Zhi, who went to Qingning Palace, heard that the two princesses ran to the kitchen to Xia Shou noodles, and felt very incredible, frowning, feeling that his two daughters, golden branches and jade leaves, were so precious that they actually ran to the kitchen to do rough work, and they were reluctant and a little helpless, and they were really getting more and more nonsense. However, the people below reported that the two princesses said that they would give the sage and the queen the longevity noodles they cooked for the first time to taste, and there was a burst of anticipation in their hearts.

Li Zhi put his hands behind his back, walking around in the room where Li Chen usually practiced calligraphy, Wu Zetian stole half a day of leisure, was practicing calligraphy in the company of the emperor, saw him walking around the room, shaking her eyes were a little dizzy, so she put down the pen, a pair of eyes with a little smile and a little helplessness to look at Li Zhi, "Usually the Lord accompanies Yongchang to practice calligraphy, but he has never walked around like today, and her eyes are dizzy." ”

Li Zhi paused, looked back at Wu Zetian, and said to the horse: "Mei Niang, do you say that Taiping and Yongchang can eat the longevity noodles?" ”

Before Wu Zetian could reply, he said again: "It should be edible to eat, at most it is unpalatable." As he spoke, the figure that had just stopped began to walk back and forth in the room again, "Why hasn't it been good for so long?" ”

Wu Zetian: "......"

In fact, earlier, Taiping was afraid that she would forget Xue Shao's birthday, and muttered in her ear that Xue Shao's cousin's birthday was coming, and Aunt Chengyang was no longer there, Xue Shao's cousin was pitiful without his mother and father, and no one would accompany him on his birthday, and he would definitely be sad. However, she saw that Li Zhi in front of her was full of expectations for Taiping and Yongchang's longevity, and she really didn't want to remind him that it would be Xue Shao's birthday in two days.

Wu Zetian didn't say anything, but Li Zhi suddenly sighed and said, "In two days, it will be Shao'er's birthday." ”

Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, and then slowly walked to Li Zhi, who stopped in front of the window, "The concubine is still worried that the lord has been busy with political affairs recently and will forget about it." ”

Li Zhi raised his eyes and looked at a few osmanthus flowers in the courtyard, early autumn has arrived, the osmanthus flowers in the courtyard have quietly bloomed, wafting with bursts of fragrance, his expression seems to have nostalgia, and said: "How could I forget this?" ”

Princess Chengyang died a year ago, three sons, the eldest two are already sensible, Li Zhi arranged an official position for her eldest son, the second son didn't like the rules and regulations, and also told the sage uncle that he didn't want to be an official, since this was the case, Li Zhi rewarded him with something, enough for him to start a family, so he went with him. Only Xue Shao, who is not too big to be small, made him feel at ease.

When his mother, Empress Changsun, died, he was also the same age as Xue Shao, and at that time, Taizong personally took care of him and Jinyang, and the grief and sadness in his heart were difficult to suppress, not to mention that Xue Shao lost his parents within two months.

Li Zhi used to love Princess Chengyang sincerely, and now he also sincerely loves Wu and Wu for Xue Shao, since he took Xue Shao into the palace, let him sit at the same table with Li Xian, Li Dan and others, and go out in the same car, naturally he also regards this nephew as very important.

Wu Zetian saw Li Zhi's expression, and he also understood in his heart that Li Zhi did not know who Taiping and Yongchang were raising for and ran to Xiashou noodles, but he did not see the slightest displeasure on his face, which showed that he was also happy to see it. She has been by Li Zhi's side for more than 20 years, and she may know more about Li Zhi than she knows about herself, and she also deeply understands that in today's situation, her power is not yet a climate, and even if it is a climate, she cannot compete with Li Zhi, the son of heaven. Her children, whether they are concubines or descendants, as long as Li Zhi is still alive, it must be a marriage with a relative of the Li family's royal family or an important minister trusted by Li Zhi.

According to the current situation, Li Zhi is willing to let Xue Shao be a colt in the future. Yongchang is still younger, and Taiping's age is exactly two years behind Xue Shao, so it is very suitable to get married. Wu Zetian often accompanies the king, and has always known how to figure out Li Zhi's thoughts, and even more so to please him, so he said with a smile: "Taiping has long muttered that he wants to celebrate Shao'er's birthday, and the concubine sees that the lord has a lot of state affairs recently, and such family affairs, so let the concubine come to Zhang Luo." Our children have discussed it, and when it comes to Shao'er's birthday, don't be too extravagant, and only set up a family banquet in the Baifu Hall where Xian'er and Dan'er live. The main thing is that you can be together as a family, and you won't let Shao'er be alone and sad because she misses Chengyang and the horse. ”
