Chapter 54 Met the prince in the Taiji Palace
"Oh, Chang'an's shop has opened?" His Majesty Li Er said happily.
"Father, it just opened this morning."
"Okay, it's rare for the emperor to be so kind, and your mother and I will try this Chang'an Hou's craftsmanship."
When the crown prince Li Chengqian heard this, he opened the food box and respectfully placed it in front of His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun.
"Incense, it's really fragrant......" His Majesty Li Er and Empress Eldest Sun said in unison!
"Come, Guanyin! Do you taste it first? His Majesty Li Er looked at the eldest grandson empress with her belly bulging high and said.
"The concubine is really hungry when she smells this fragrance, the concubine has been losing her appetite recently, it may have something to do with the little guy in her belly......"
"Since you're hungry, hurry up and try it, Chang'anhou's craftsmanship, the emperor's heart."
"Erlang, it's really delicious." Empress Eldest Sun took a careful bite and said.
"Oh, then I'll try it too." After speaking, His Majesty Li Er sent a soup bag into his mouth in one bite.
He is not as elegant as the eldest grandson queen, man, he must have the appearance of a man!
The fragrance of the mouth was full of fragrance in the mouth of His Majesty Li Er, and the slightly warm soup made His Majesty Li Er's mouth full of relish. His Majesty Li Er chewed it heavily, and a sense of satisfaction and happiness rose from the bottom of his heart!
His Majesty Li Er quickly picked up the second bun and swallowed it in one gulp.
It was still the same smell just now, and suddenly His Majesty Li Er's eyes lit up.
How does he feel the aroma of meat in this bun, he has never eaten it himself!
"Has Guanyin ever tasted the difference in this bun?" His Majesty Li Er said unfinished after consuming the last bun.
"Erlang, the first time I have eaten the taste of Chang'an's concubine."
"Chang'an Hou has never been bullied, this taste is really amazing! I think it's time to put my imperial dining room in order, what kind of food is it for me and the queen all day long? It's just nonsense......"
His Majesty Li Er said angrily. Seeing that the crown prince Li Chengqian was on the side, he then said.
"The emperor has a heart, and he can think of me and the queen. Tomorrow remember to bring me and the queen some more buns, I will be waiting for you here at your mother's ......"
Li Chengqian"...... The retainers obeyed. ”

Tao Ran stewed a large pot of mutton bought by the cuckoo.
It didn't take long for the whole shop to fill the house with the smell of mutton.
"The cuckoo sent these to grandma, let her old man drink soup and eat meat while it was hot, and told grandma that we would go home to eat and live in the evening."
Tao Ran decided that in the future, the soup dumplings would only be sold until noon, so that the big guy could rest and recuperate, and there would be more hard things to do later.
"Chu Liang, you go home and bring these to your uncle and aunt."
"Wen'er, bring this to grandma and younger brother, and the eldest girl will give Wen'er half a penny, which is considered an advance salary."
Cheng Chuliang happily agreed.
Wen'er, who was moved, was teary-eyed and didn't know what to say.
"What are you crying about? Wen'er is a sensible child, and her brother doesn't want to see Wen'er cry. Tao Ran touched Wen'er's head and said.
"Well, thank you, brother, Wen'er doesn't cry, Wen'er is happy."

On the Vermilion Bird Avenue in Chang'an City, because of Tao Xiaosheng's bun shop.
I woke up earlier and earlier every day, and the phenomenon that the streets were deserted until sunrise was gone!
Instead, before dawn in the morning, people who got up early began to wait in line, and Tao Xiaosheng's bun shop opened for business.
A month is fleeting.
It's time for Tao Ran to fulfill his promise to His Majesty Li Er.
At the beginning, Tao Ran wanted His Majesty Li Er to help raise funds, but he promised benefits.
Tao Ran took out the fundraising list handed over to him by His Majesty Li Er, and according to the above records, a total of more than 320 taels of silver, forty-five pounds, plus ten touching copper plates of Li Baiyao!
As for the one-year income donated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Tao Ranquan invested in the shares, and gave him dividends at the end of the year.
Of course, Li Baiyao, the first to stand up to support him and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Tao Ran will not treat him badly.
If people don't know how to learn about Entu, then they are no different from animals!
In order to show his sincerity, Tao Ran decided to go to Taiji Palace.
I have been in Chang'an for so long, and Hou Ye has been in office for so long, to be honest, I haven't been to Taiji Palace once, which is indeed a bit unusual.
Tao Ran asked the chief butler Ma Zhou to prepare the carriage and go to the Taiji Palace together.
The eldest girl had to make a fuss and wanted to go, but Tao Ran couldn't resist her, so she had to take her with her.
Along the way, the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace in all directions.
After Ma Zhou and the chamberlain reported, they began to wait at the door.
It didn't take long for the chamberlain to pass the word and go in.
So, Ma Zhou parked the carriage to the side and watched Tao Ran and the big girl enter the palace.
As for the silver taels and copper coins that Tao Ran brought, some servants had already come over and moved them to the Taiji Palace.
"Wechen see Your Majesty."
"The people see Your Majesty."
"Aiqing Pingshen, this is your sister, right?"
His Majesty Li Er asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's your sister, you have to go into the palace to take a look, let Your Majesty laugh."
"Little children? There's always curiosity. It doesn't matter. Listening to the words of the chamberlain, you sent money? ”
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what happened."
"Profitable so soon?" His Majesty Li Er said happily.
"Your Majesty doesn't know, these are all earned by Weichen and his guys getting up early and working late."
Of course, Tao Ran can't tell His Majesty Li Er that making money is actually very simple!
Otherwise, I'll be a fart in the future.
"It's hard work, and the big thing of eating more than 800 catties per mu, remember not to delay."
"Your Majesty, Weichen knows the priorities, don't worry."
"That's good, Chang'an Hou said so, and I will be down-to-earth."

"Brother, look at that little boy, isn't that the boy who went to our house to beg for water one day?"
On the way back, Tao Ran and the eldest girl happened to meet the prince Li Chengqian unexpectedly.
The sharp-eyed girl recognized it at a glance, this young man who once went to Houfu to beg for water.
"Weichen see His Royal Highness the Prince" Brother Tao Ran's words made the eldest girl open her mouth wide.
"Too, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......" the eldest girl stammered.
Tao Ran touched the big girl's head and said. "Don't worry, the prince is a good prince."
"Bold Chang'an, could it be that there is still a bad prince?" Sun Zongqing, the eldest attendant of the crown prince, jumped out and said.
He had long looked at Tao Ran unpleasantly. Last time, I held back the fire in the Houfu, and today I can be regarded as caught, so I don't seize the opportunity to humiliate him.
"Zong Qing can't mess around." Prince Li Chengqian hurriedly spoke.
"I haven't seen it for more than a month, I don't know how those food are growing, Cheng Qian is very worried......"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the hard work of the people of the world in his heart, which is really righteous, and Weichen is ashamed of himself!" Tao Ran said modestly.
"Those potatoes have grown to a foot tall, and my brother said that he is one step away from success......"
