"Fourth sister, you have to listen to your eldest brother's words carefully, and when you see Your Majesty, you can't cry or make trouble, and stand aside in a proper manner." Wu Yuanqing touched Wu Xu's head and seemed to be concerned.

But the young Wu Xu frowned at the small willow eyebrows, and opened Wu Yuanqing's hand in disgust, she had never been close to these two brothers, and thought about what Yang once said, "A lone wolf who is good at hiding always blends into the dog pack with a hypocritical mask, but it is easy to be exposed the moment he barks." ”

The disgust hidden in her heart can't be abandoned no matter what, Wu Yu is short, just touching Wu Yuanqing's waist, she clearly saw that her eldest brother's calves hidden in his clothes were trembling, and the folding fan around his thumb at random was inadvertently playing with the jade pendant faster.

Wu Jue has been exposed to Wu Shitong's preaching to his brothers since he was a child, although he doesn't understand why he has such abnormal behavior, just like Yang's whole body is relaxed when he caresses her hair, it is definitely not like this!

Then the eldest brother and the second brother lied!

She was about to speak, but Wu Yuanshuang's eyes were quick, and he quickly discovered the abnormality, and took a step in front of Wu Yu, which happened to cover Yang's vision, "Mother, a certain brother will take the fourth sister to the front yard to see Your Majesty, and ask Mother to leave first." ”

Yang's face was warm and angry, and Xingmu stared at the 'son' a few times with hatred, then flicked his skirt and led the mother-in-law and dozens of subordinates to retreat.

After the Yang family left, the two brothers were also relieved, Wu Yuanshuang looked back at his brother with appreciation, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the eldest brother covered the mouth of the fourth sister in time, otherwise the Yang family would not have walked away easily." ”

Wu Yuanqing's face stiffened, a slight smile squeezed out of the corners of his mouth, and he said with a bitter face: "Second brother, what now?" ”

"Fourth sister, the second brother will give you candy to eat, don't cry or make trouble when you meet your father and a stranger, okay?" Wu Yuanshuang took out a few small brown pieces wrapped in oiled paper from between his cuffs and handed them to Wu Yu, who was hazy with teary eyes.

Caramel is a kind of fermented maltose syrup, because the ancient sugar technology was not developed, and the aristocracy was fond of sweetness, so this simple maltose syrup was made and sold, and Wu Yuanshuang bought it from the East Market.

In fact, there are records of caramel as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it is written in the Mian chapter of the "Book of Songs": "The lettuce it is, although it is bitter, is as sweet as syrup." ”

The second half of the sentence gradually evolved into the idiom of sweetness.

Wu Jue burst into tears and laughed, holding the caramel in her right palm, holding Wu Yuanqing with her left hand, and said crisply: "Thank you eldest brother and second brother." ”

Faced with the camouflaged lone wolf, Wu Jue remembered that Yang once said: "Wolves are mixed with dogs, and before hunters find out, they will pretend to appease them, and they will often feed more meat." ”

Three-year-old Xiao Wu Zetian didn't understand the deep meaning of Yang's words, but she knew how to follow the wishes of her two elder brothers, and when Yang was there, she dared to cover her mouth, not to mention that she was alone now?

After Wu Yuanshuang coaxed Wu Jue, he looked at his brother with disdain.

......

The main house in the front yard of the Yingguo Mansion.

It was lunchtime, and the table of several people was already full of food, wine and meat, and Wu Shi Tong did not dare to snub Li Yuan, so he arranged for the back kitchen to go to the East Market to buy ingredients early.

But it's already early autumn, and the dishes are very few, only a dish of boiled cabbage, bracken, and more mutton feasts of all colors, Datang is so strange, the beef law can't be eaten, and the taste of pork is too fishy before castration, leaving only mutton, the most common meat.

By the way, the three categories of chicken, duck and fish are in the hearts of Datang people, this is not meat, but just a side dish similar to chicken.

Ma Zhou in the Zhenguan Dynasty is very interesting, when the local inspection likes to eat chicken in the local area, there are officials who report waste and extravagance, and later Tang Taizong did not punish the crime, but said: "I forbid the history of eating meat, I am afraid of the county fee, how about eating chicken?" ”

Therefore, for the Tang people, things like chicken are just a dish, not meat.

Li Yuan eats the same taste as chewing wax, the most he eats in the past few days is mutton, in his previous life, with various spices and methods, mutton can be eaten without getting tired, but the most in Datang are only boiled mutton and roast mutton!

When he saw this, he wanted to vomit, so he only used chopsticks to pick up some green vegetables.

A few quarters of an hour later, a servant walked up to the position of the warrior and whispered, the warrior Tong's face was happy, he got up and bowed to Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, the two ministers are waiting outside the house, and please ask Your Majesty to let them come in to meet you." ”

"It's finally time to play meat!" Li Yuan said excitedly in his heart, got up early in the morning and hurried to the Yingguo Mansion, a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, knocked on the side, and gave 10,000 yuan.

He didn't want to instigate Li Shimin, and he wanted to instigate another Wu Meiniang! The best plan is to completely destroy Wu Zetian's path to advancement, and block her before she enters the palace at the age of fourteen!

Speaking of this, Li Yuan also felt weird, why didn't the history books write like this: "Taizong is quite good at fishing, and Empress Wende entered the Qin Palace" at the age of thirteen... Wu Zetian entered the palace at the age of fourteen..."

The conscience of heaven and earth, if it is based on modern law, Li Shimin, an old pervert, does not know how many prison sentences he has been sentenced to, it is simply uncountable!

With his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law under his command, the rebel camp doubled, and the group joined by the two founding emperors could not be compared with the mere child Li Er?

As for why he didn't kill Wu Zetian, Li Yuan thought it was completely unnecessary, Wu Zetian's path to claim the emperor was the concubine, the queen, the queen mother, and the emperor, as long as she blocked the way to enter the harem, she could still rebel!

Wu Zetian's political capital is Li Zhi's empress, according to Confucian etiquette, it is "the mother of the world", and it is reasonable to rule the people of Li and Tang. For example, the widow of the Li family used to call, what can you do if you are called a martial widow? can't change the fact that you are a member of the Li family!

"Xinming, there is no need to be formal between you and me, I only came here today to visit my friends." Li Yuan waved his hand and smiled, glancing out of the room, "Let them in." ”

After a while, Wu Yuanqing led Wu Jue, who was dressed in men's clothes, into the room, and said respectfully: "Ying Guogong's eldest son Wu Yuanqing and fourth sister Wu Jue have come to see Your Majesty. ”

Without waiting for Li Yuan to speak, the warrior Tong, whose face changed slightly, looked for Wu Yuanshuang's figure left and right, and asked, "Qing'er, where is Shuang'er?" ”

Wu Yuanqing's face was nervous, and he lowered his head and whispered, "The second brother is behind, and he will come later." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw four or five servants carrying a delicate and luxurious Hu bed, and there was a young man lying on the Hu bed, sleepy-eyed, his clothes were half-undone, half of his belly was exposed, he arched his hands at will, yawned and said, "Wu Yuanshuang has seen Your Majesty." ”

"Rampant!" Samurai Tong's face was furious.
