Chapter 41: Breakfast

Empress Dowager He held Li Ji's hand and put Zhang Wanxi's little hands together: "Wanxi is a good girl, I am relieved to have her by your side to serve you." Ji'er, A-Niang is a woman's family, she has no opinions, you should learn from Emperor Taizong's civil and military skills, and you must also learn to endure humiliation and burden, especially for King Liang, we will give him whatever he wants, and you must not provoke this person. ”

Li Ji nodded: "The child has written it down."

Empress Dowager He sighed: "Child, take the time to see your brothers." They originally lived in Shaoyang Palace, and after you ascended the throne, they were arranged by King Liang to go to the Imperial Horse Garden outside the palace, and I heard that they lived very bleakly, alas. ”

Li Ji was taken aback, that is, a year later, Zhu Wen killed his nine brothers, and the remaining two young emperors were also missing, and they were also killed.

They are: Li Yu, King of De, Li Zhen, Li Zhen, Li Yu, Li Yi, Li Yi, Li Yi, Li Qi, Li Zhen, Ya Wang, Li Xiang, Qiong, Li Zhen, Ying, and Cai.

Among them, Li Yunai, the king of Germany, is his maternal brother, and the other sons were born to Zhaozong and his concubines.

Li Ji nodded: "The child will go to see it when he has time, Auntie, it's okay, the child will retire first."

Empress Dowager He nodded: "Well, you can go." Wanxi, good life and good service to Your Majesty. ”

Zhang Wanxi nodded, stood up with Li Ji, and the Empress Dowager He instructed her palace maid again: "Ah Qiu, Ah Qian, send the emperor back."

The two little palace maids bowed down and agreed, leading Li Ji and Zhang Wanxi to the outside of Jishan Palace, and Li Ji's two little eunuchs, Youwei and Fuquan, followed honestly behind them.

When she arrived at the door, the palace maid Ah Qiu opened the door of the hall and glanced up at Li Ji slightly. I didn't expect this little palace maid to have a melon seed face, and her starry eyes were very moving. Li Ji was secretly surprised, Ah Qiu's face was flushed, and he hurriedly lowered his head in fright.

Out of Jishan Palace, Li Ji and Zhang Wanxi walked to Ming'an Palace, Li Ji smiled and said, "Miss Wanxi, what did the Queen Mother tell you?"

Zhang Wanxi hurriedly walked in a hurry: "It's nothing, just let me serve you well."

"I'll tell you something, I'm ...... outside the palace today" Li Ji suddenly noticed that Zhang Wanxi's face was a little ugly, and then stopped her mouth and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Did the Queen Mother say anything about you? ”

Zhang Wanxi didn't answer, still with a gloomy face.

"Fuquan, Fuquan! What's the matter, did you make Miss Wanxi angry? I'll kick you to death! ”

Fuquan was so frightened that he hurriedly shook his head: "Slave, slave and maid!"

"What's the matter with him," Zhang Wanxi finally spoke: "You frowned at that little palace maid when you were at the door, and you were very happy."

"Huh?" Li Ji was taken aback, dare to be jealous of this little girl?

"How can I be, how can you smear people's innocence out of thin air like this." Li Ji hurriedly defended: "Yes, that's right. That little palace maid is very beautiful, I still wonder, this little palace maid is amazing, she can have half the beauty of a Wanxi girl, of course I have to take a few more looks, is it promising. Promising? You fucking talk! ”

I don't know why, but as soon as Li Ji said this, he immediately nodded as if a chicken pecked rice: "That's it, the slave maid heard His Majesty say that there can be a half-beautiful girl in the world who has never seen it."

Although Zhang Wanxi still pulled her face, Li Ji could see that her eyebrows were already full of smiles, so she followed again: "Miss Wanxi, guess what I brought you from outside the palace?"

Although Li Ji has never been in love, he is a smart person, and he knows that as long as he changes the topic immediately, there will be nothing to do at this time.

Sure enough, Zhang Wanxi was immediately attracted: "What?"

"Dangdang, dang, dang!" Li Ji took out a piece of sugar cake from his arms: "This is what I brought back for you, it's still hot, can you taste it?"

The level of food scarcity in this era was staggering, and although the food culture of the Tang Dynasty had developed, cooking techniques such as stir-frying had not yet appeared. Even if there were, it was not popular, because it is said that woks did not begin to appear until the Song Dynasty.

And the important thing is that tomatoes, potatoes, corn, green peppers, and sweet potatoes are all gone, and they have not yet been introduced to our country.

So this little sugar cake is already delicious for Zhang Wanxi.

"Is it delicious?" Li Ji looked at her expectantly and asked again.

Zhang Wanxi took a bite lightly, and then nodded with a smile: "Hmm."

Li Ji was immediately happy: "In the future, I will bring you delicious food every day when I leave the palace."

This sugar cake has been held in Li Ji's arms, and the tentacles are warm, Zhang Wanxi can't help but be moved in her heart, and she actually shed tears while eating.

Li Ji was taken aback: "What, why is it not delicious?"

Zhang Wanxi shook her head, stretched out her sleeve to wipe her tears and smiled: "No, it's delicious." My mother left early, and although my father and two brothers doted on me, no one was so attentive to me and so kind to me, I was very, I was very happy. By the end, the voice was getting lower and lower.

Li Ji smiled: "Of course I am good to you, and I guarantee that I will be good to you for a lifetime."

Youwei was taken aback: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not about slaves and maids."

"It's none of your business, if I don't treat Miss Wanxi badly in the future, I'll be the first to screw off your dog's head."

There is a desire to cry without tears: "......"

Zhang Wanxi snorted and couldn't help laughing.

The biggest advantage of being a faint gentleman is that you can sleep until you wake up naturally, and no one will wake you up in the sun.

Someone is an exception, Fuquan, a guy with a poor brain circuit, came over and pushed Li Ji: "Your Majesty, it's time to get up and have breakfast."

"Get out!"

A quarter of an hour later, Fuquan: "Your Majesty, it's time to get up and have breakfast."

"Get out!"

After another quarter of an hour, Fuquan: "Your Majesty, it's time to get up and have breakfast."

"Get out! Shout again and I'll kill you! ”

Zhang Wanxi: "Your Majesty, get up."

Li Ji got up with a bone: "Ah, get up, Fuquan, change clothes."

The uniformity of breakfast really made Li Ji unappetizing, although for people in this era, Li Ji ate delicacies from the mountains and seas.

The breakfast of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has a kind of "jade tip noodles", with "eliminating the bear stack deer" as the meat filling, that is, the buns of today's people, the jade tip noodles refer to the steamed buns, the extremely fat ones of the bears are called "elimination", and the deer are called "stacks" by the intensive breeders of double materials, so the stuffing of this kind of buns is made of bears and venison, mainly fatty meat. The ancients regarded fatty meat as a delicacy, and "bear white" is one of them, taking the fat meat from the bear's back.

Of course, Li Ji can't enjoy this kind of treatment, not to mention the people in the years of war, it's good that the princes and ministers can eat enough.

In front of Li Ji was only a bowl of multigrain rice porridge and a few plates of dried venison. This venison jerky is by no means delicious, but the venison is dried and steamed with salt, and it is extremely salty.

Zhang Wanxi and Fuquan served Li Ji to eat, and not long after eating, Youwei hurriedly ran in: "Your Majesty, Zhu Youneng has already arrived outside the palace."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Minister Zhu You can see that you are here." A man's voice rang out outside the hall.

Zhang Wanxi was holding a spoon to Li Ji to serve porridge, and when she heard this, she was so frightened that the spoon in her hand made a 'click' sound and fell on the table.

PS: Is this chapter water? Well, it's actually paving the way for the follow-up plot, you can't smear people's innocence out of thin air, I'm an honest person.

Thank you very much for your support and ask for votes.

Spoiler alert, Zhu Youneng is a backstabber, he is full of buddy righteousness towards Li Ji, and the latter character will be very important.
