"I also think this woman is an unusual woman, Wu Cong, I remember you."

His Majesty Li Er looked at the little girl in front of him, who was neither arrogant nor timid, and spoke.

Normally, after seeing that His Majesty Li Er knew that it was the Son of Heaven, the woman was already trembling and couldn't speak.

Not only is this little girl not timid, but she is also so responsive that it is difficult not to be remembered.

"Your Majesty is about to have lunchtime, and I invite Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to go up the mountain to taste the food of the academy."

Tao Ran said with a smile.

"Don't you say it, I almost forgot to tell you, a few days ago, I requisitioned Aiqing's restaurant to celebrate the victory of the Turkic conquest with hundreds of officials.

His Majesty Li Er laughed and said.

"Your Majesty can requisition the restaurant whenever you want, the restaurant is originally rewarded by Your Majesty, and the minister does not dare to forget."

Tao Ran replied truthfully.

"Chang'an Hou is polite, speaking of this crusade against the Turkic tribes, Aiqing should be the first to take credit, although Aiqing did not go to the crusade, but whether it is the strategy of the crusade or the tools provided for skis, Aiqing's credit is incomparable to others, I have the heart to reward you, but you have repeatedly refused to reward, so I am a little unhappy!"

His Majesty Li Er said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, Wechen is still the same sentence, Wechen is still young, and it is not suitable for high-ranking officials, as long as what Wechen does is beneficial to Your Majesty and Datang, the minister only asks for a clear conscience."

Tao Ran replied solemnly.

"Father, mother, hurry up the mountain with the teacher, the sons and daughters are hungry."

Princess Changle flashed with a pair of beautiful big eyes and urged.

"Okay, Chang'an Hou Zhen and the queen will disturb the academy today."

His Majesty Li Er's face was happy, and he said with a pleasant face.

"Your Majesty will go first, and the ministers will go and pick some vegetables for Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. Changle took His Majesty and the Empress to the teacher's room to wait for a while, and called the prince as well. ”

Of course, Tao Ran knew that His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun were coming, and they must not just look at Changle, rather than being broken by the two, it was better to be a favor himself.

"Let's go, father, mother. The teacher is really good to you, Changle hasn't eaten anything for several days, and the teacher actually made an exception for his father and mother. ”

"Changle, what kind of strange thing are you talking about, so mysterious?"

When His Majesty Li Er heard this, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Father, the son will keep it secret for the time being, and you will know later."

Princess Changle took the arms of His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun, and walked towards the mountain with a smile.

Wu Cao and Tao Ran entered the small earthen house, Tao Ran cut off some wine and vegetables, and the tender green wine and vegetables and scrambled eggs were delicious.

Picking a few cucumbers and pulling out a few carrots, seeing Wu Cao's drooling appearance, Tao Ran picked a tender cucumber for her and handed it to Wu Cao's hand.

"Thank you, teacher, the teacher is so good." Wu Cao said with a sweet smile from the bottom of his heart.

After speaking, the little girl took a bite of the cucumber and chewed it beautifully.

made Tao Ran have to sigh that her sweet little mouth has a taste better than touching honey.

"Aunt Hua, go and hand it over to Sister Wen'er in the kitchen, tell her to scrambled eggs with leeks, cold cucumbers, carrots and fried meat, and stew a big rooster, just say that Your Majesty and the queen are here, and let her prepare a few more good dishes."

Tao Ran said after going up the mountain.

"Don't worry, teacher, Aunt Hua has remembered everything." After speaking, Wu Cao took the fresh vegetables picked by Tao Ran and trotted all the way to the kitchen.

When Tao Ran returned to the room, the crown prince Li Chengqian had already sat down in the room.

Seeing Tao Ran enter the house, Prince Li Chengqian and Princess Changle immediately got up to give up their seats for the teacher, which made Tao Ran very relieved at the same time, and also made His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun nod secretly.

It seems that Chang'an Hou used his virtue to convince the prince and princess, otherwise it would be difficult for his two arrogant children to bow their heads to others.

"The food in Nanshan Academy is so strong, the prince is so strong, I and the queen almost dare not recognize each other, Aiqing is meritorious, in the past, the queen in the palace was most worried about their meals every day, but I don't want to come to the academy but it is more delicious than the food in the palace, Aiqing has spent a lot of money in order to do all this."

His Majesty Li Er said with emotion.

"It was His Majesty who gave Wechen the opportunity to make money, and Wechen may promise to use the money to cultivate the pillars of the Tang Dynasty, but Wechen dare not break his word."

"I hope that in the future, Nanshan Academy can cultivate more talents like Aiqing, so that I will never wake up in the middle of the night when I sleep."

His Majesty Li Er and Tao Ran were talking with questions and answers, and Empress Changsun was holding the crown prince with her left hand and Changle with her right hand.

At this time, Wu Cao also sent vegetables to the kitchen and returned to Tao Ran's room.

"Aunt Hua, go and invite the two masters to dine with Your Majesty." Tao Ran opened his mouth to explain.

"Okay teacher, Aunt Hua will go right away." After speaking, the little girl turned around and went out to greet the two masters, Li Gang and Kong Yingda.

A moment later, the two masters, Li Gang and Kong Yingda, came to Tao Ran's room.

"Minister, Li Gang."

"Minister, Kong Yingda."

"See Your Majesty, see the Queen Mother."

The two said respectfully.

"Taishi and Kong are exempt from wine, I am very pleased to see you two doing research together."

His Majesty Li Er smiled and looked at the two of them and said.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is very lucky to be studying with the Marquis of Chang'an."

Li Gang and Kong Yingda replied almost in unison.

"Haha······ Haha······ With the three of you working together, there is no reason why this Nanshan College is not good. Today, I and the queen came to talk only about family life, not about political affairs. Everyone can speak their minds. ”

As she spoke, Miss Wen'er brought up meals such as leeks, scrambled eggs, and cold cucumbers.

Instantly, the whole room was filled with a fragrant and enticing smell, and people couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

"Miss Wen'er is getting more and more beautiful."

Empress Eldest Sun said with sincere admiration.

"Thank you for the queen's compliment, this is all the credit of my family's Hou Ye, without Hou Ye, there would be no Wen'er today. Your Majesty, please dine. ”

After speaking, Miss Wen'er respectfully retreated.

"Erlang, this meal? How can there be leeks and cucumbers? The concubine felt that this must have just been picked to be so tender and fresh. ”

Empress Eldest Sun looked at the food on the table and immediately said in shock.

His Majesty Li Er was also shocked, and said slowly for a long time. "I didn't expect it, the food in my palace is far inferior to the food in Nanshan Academy······"

"Father, mother. Do you think we eat this every day at Nanshan College? This is a vegetable that the teacher specially used to entertain his father and mother. ”

Princess Changle replied truthfully.

When His Majesty Li Er and Empress Eldest Sun heard this, their faces immediately turned good.

"Chang'an Hou has a heart, it must not be easy to grow such tender green vegetables in this cold winter, right?"

His Majesty Li Er's words were full of joy.

"It's not easy to reply to Your Majesty's words. The minister originally planned to plant for Princess Changle and His Royal Highness the Prince, as well as the two masters to regulate their bodies, but today it happened that His Majesty and the Queen Mother came, and Wei Chen didn't dare to hide it, so he picked some for His Majesty and the Queen Mother to taste. ”

Tao Ran replied truthfully.

"I, I didn't expect Chang'an Hou to take Cheng Qian and Changle to heart so much, I want to say thank you!"

"Thank you......"

Empress Eldest Sun also said with emotion.

At this time, His Majesty Li Er and Empress Eldest Sun are the most ordinary parents in the world, and they are expressing their gratitude to the teacher on behalf of their children.

"Your Majesty, the queen doesn't have to be like this, this is what a minister should do as a teacher. Since His Majesty and the Empress handed over the crown prince and princess to Weichen, the minister categorically did not teach well and take care of them carefully. ”

Tao Ran responded with a smile.

"Father, mother. The teacher also installed a bathing room for Changle, so that Changle could have a cool sleep every night in the sultry season at the beginning of the school year. ”

Princess Changle said with her big beautiful eyes.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, hurry up and taste this fresh scrambled egg with leeks while it's hot. When the food is cold, it won't taste good. ”

Tao Ran interrupted the brief silence in the room in time.

"Okay, Guanyin, let's try the fresh vegetables specially prepared for us by Chang'anhou."

His Majesty Li Er said happily.

So the atmosphere in the room was completely lively, and Wu Cong sat beside Tao Ran.

Because His Majesty Li Er and the queen were there, Wu Cong was very well-behaved and ate his own vegetables, and there was no longer the excitement of grabbing food with Princess Changle before.

This made Tao Ran very relieved, at least in front of His Majesty and the Empress, this little girl performed unexpectedly well, and she would be able to make herself more worry-free in the future.

Empress Changsun gave Princess Changle and Prince Li Chengqian, each of them a piece of leek scrambled eggs in their bowls, and saw Wu Cong sitting there eating rice by himself, so she stretched out bamboo chopsticks and put a piece of it into Wu Cong's bowl.

"Thank you, Queen Mother......"

Wu Cong smiled sweetly and thanked him.

"That's good, hurry up and eat."

Empress Eldest Sun said lovingly.

After the meal, His Majesty Li Er, the Empress Mother, the Crown Prince and Changle explained some clichés about studying hard and listening to the words of Chang'an Hou, and left Nanshan Academy under the eyes of Tao Ran, Li Gang and Kong Yingda.

Before leaving, Tao Ran went to the mud house to pick a few cucumbers and asked the queen to take them.

The happy Empress Eldest Sun smiled brightly, happier than receiving a few pieces of gold cakes.

"Erlang, the concubine thinks that the little girl next to the Marquis of Chang'an must be extraordinary when she grows up."

In the carriage, Empress Changsun said to His Majesty Li Er.

"Where did Guanyin say that?" In fact, Empress Changsun's words happened to be in the heart of His Majesty Li Er, and when he first saw Wu Cao, he felt that this woman was extraordinary.

"I am not shocked by such honor and disgrace at a young age, not only am I not afraid to see you, but on the contrary, my behavior is reasonable, which really makes the concubines admire, and it is even stronger than when we were young."

Empress Eldest Sun replied truthfully.

"What Guanyin said is extremely true, this woman is indeed extraordinary, and her achievements after being trained by the Marquis of Chang'an are immeasurable."

Suddenly, Empress Changsun laughed out loud.

His Majesty Li Er was surprised: "Guanyin, what's the matter?" ”

"I'm sorry, Jiro. The concubine lost her honor. The concubine thought that Qingque would also study at Nanshan College next year, so she would be classmates with this little girl named Wu Cao, maybe the two children would be able to play together. ”

Empress Eldest Sun hid her face and smiled, and said softly.

"Guanyin is really interesting, whether children can play together, we adults don't need to worry about it."

Today, an earthquake-like news is spreading on the grassland.

The news that the two steppe khans, Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan, and their Kedun, were escorted back to Chang'an, flew and spread over the grassland like wings.

Coupled with the heavy troops of the Tang Dynasty soldiers stationed in the territory of the two tribes, the herdsmen finally knew that this grassland would begin to change from now on.

For them, it doesn't matter who makes the khan, as long as they can have grass to graze and fill their stomachs.

"According to the current marching speed, the general will be able to reach the territory of Chang'an after dawn the day after tomorrow."

The pro-soldiers reported to Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde.

"Okay, immediately hurry up and inform the Imperial Palace of the news of our arrival in Chang'an City the day after tomorrow, Your Majesty may be waiting for the news of our triumphant return."

Cheng Yanjin immediately ordered.

"Yes, General. The subordinates set off immediately, striving to arrive in Chang'an by the morning tomorrow. ”

After the soldiers finished speaking, they immediately stepped on the war horse, and slapped the horse's back with a "driving" sound.

And the horses began to run.

In the morning, a war horse on Suzaku Avenue was running forward vigorously, and it could be seen from the wet hair of the horse that this was a war horse that had come from a long distance, and there must have been an urgent military report.

Therefore, the soldiers guarding the city gate were not stopped at all and were allowed to let go.

The sky has not yet begun to brighten up completely, and the civil and military officials in the Hall of Virtue have begun to prepare for themselves, and after three days of rest, the complexion of many ministers has obviously improved slightly.

His Majesty Li Er appeared in the Hall of Virtue on time.

"Report, the general escorted Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan to Chang'an."

After the soldiers got off their horses, they reported loudly at the door of the Xiande Palace.

When His Majesty Li Er heard the body that had just sat down, he immediately stood up quickly.

"Xuan, report the arrival of the soldiers."

Reporting the news that the army of the generals would arrive in Chang'an City after dawn tomorrow, he made a detailed report to His Majesty Li Er on the Hall of Xiande.

His Majesty Li Er was very happy, and immediately rewarded his own soldiers and let them go down to rest.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."

The ministers congratulated from the bottom of their hearts.

This is not a victory for one person, it is a victory for a nation.

This is not the credit of one person, it is the victory of countless people who have united and forged ahead with wisdom and blood.

From now on, the bloody mouth of the northern part of the Tang Dynasty is about to become history and the past, and the green prairie will stage our own story in the future, and the content of the story will also be written by ourselves.
