Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

.....

Not many people know what happened in the palace, but this does not include Shu An, the reason is very simple, that is, Li Shimin actually asked the royal chef in the palace to learn how to make moon cakes.

Shu An has no intention of refusing, after all, although the mooncakes are made in a different way, in fact, they can be seen after a few times.

Cooks in this era are limited by materials on the one hand, and vision on the other.

"It seems that Shimin is very fond of mooncakes."

Shu An looked at the chief eunuch standing in front of him and said softly, he didn't have much respect for this emperor.

Of course, you can't annoy Li Shimin too much, after all, you still have to give face.

Listening to Duke Anxuan's words, Wang De hesitated. Even though he knew that it was not the first time that Duke Anxuan called His Majesty by his name, he was still a little shocked.

"Yes, His Majesty is very fond of mooncakes."

But facing Shu An's question, Wang De replied respectfully, you must know that His Majesty has eaten a lot of moon cakes in a row.

They even changed the original Mid-Autumn Festival dinner to moon cakes, and sent someone to bring the imperial chef to Shu Mansion just to learn how to make moon cakes.

"Interesting, if this is the case, then go learn it."

Shu An continued to speak, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin also had his own preferences. You must know that even though there were many dishes before, Li Shimin could still hold back for so long.

However, regarding the talk about moon cakes, there was a look of impatience. Could it be that Li Shimin's tongue was a little dry because of the previous elixir.

It happened that this moon cake replaced the elixir, and Li Shimin liked it. After thinking of this, Shu An couldn't help but feel a little weird.

Of course, eccentricity is eccentric, it seems unreasonable, but in fact there must be some rationality. Li Shimin is also a human being, so he naturally has preferences for things.

Among the many kings in history, Li Shimin has relatively few hobbies.

"Thank you, Lord Anxuan."

Wang De couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, he was afraid that there would be some twists and turns with this Duke Anxuan.

If other people talk about this matter, then Wang De can believe that there will not be too many twists and turns, and even as long as there are orders from His Majesty, many people will be desperate.

However, this does not include this Duke Anxuan. He even knew that His Majesty was very entangled in giving the order, obviously because he was afraid that this Duke Anxuan would refuse.

Seeing Wang De's expression heaved a sigh of relief and followed him to the kitchen, even Shu An's expression couldn't help but be a little funny.

Although he had some problems with Li Shimin, he never made things difficult for others, but Li Shimin didn't realize this.

"But this time I followed Li Shimin's wishes, so if I don't make some troubles, it's unreasonable."

A slight arc flashed at the corner of Shu An's mouth, as if he had some ideas, anyway, gunpowder could not be produced for the time being, so he could only annoy Li Shimin.

If his guess is correct, Li Shimin may have ulterior motives. You must know that there are many programs at the Mid-Autumn Festival party.

Among them is the unique characteristic of this era, and that is poetry. If he remembered correctly, Li Shimin was the champion last year.

Now the young Li Shimin still has a lot of vanity, and it just so happens that he can get a hand in the garden of the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner this time.

He can't compose poetry, but he is very good at copying. Thinking of Li Shimin's ugly face, the corners of Shu An's mouth widened.

Wu Shun on the side was a little curious about why her master was so happy, but she was also in a good mood.

That is, she was allocated five pieces of mooncakes. You must know that she has tried them before, and they are also very delicious. She just gave them to her mother and younger sister to try.

"Ming Ze, spend more time with your family these two days."

Just when Wu Shun's thoughts were racing, Shu An's faint voice sounded. During this period of time, although Shu An was studying gunpowder.

But every time Wu Shun delivered meals, and because he was in the suburbs, Wu Shun hadn't seen his family for a while.

This time, they happened to be on vacation together, and Shu An was very tolerant towards this little maid.

Perhaps because of his age, even if there were some mistakes, Shu An couldn't afford to scold him.

"Thank you sir!"

Wu Shun's eyes flickered and he couldn't help saying softly, with a hint of excitement in his words.

From being unfamiliar at the beginning, she has gradually become familiar with the character of her master, that is, he is a character who says nothing.

Just like this, she doesn't need to refuse, because now she already knows that she doesn't need to be too polite, and she hasn't seen her mother for a while.

.......

The Mid-Autumn Festival comes with time, and the weather in Chang'an is even more sunny, so today is destined to be a good day to enjoy the moon.

Different from the usual Mid-Autumn Festival, this year Chang'an has one more thing, and that is moon cakes.

Although it was only a little over a day, the news about mooncakes has spread throughout Chang'an. Of course, this is also because of the mooncakes sent by Shu'an.

Naturally, the blessing arrangement was impeccable, even those who had some contact with Shu An before gave out mooncakes.

It can be said that these people will not refuse this gift from Duke Anxuan, on the one hand, it is because of Shu An's own reputation.

On the other hand, these people are either Shu An's disciples, the relationship is already close, or they are people who are not afraid of An Xuangong's trouble.

These people even hoped that Shu An could get in touch with them more, after all, it would be nice if Duke Anxuan owed favors.

It's a pity that there are not many things that Shu An needs trouble with, but this mooncake is still passed on among these powerful people.

Of course, these words were not enough, until the rumors in the palace came out, it made the moon cakes even more popular.

That is, His Majesty likes to eat moon cakes, and even plans to replace the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner with food moon cakes.

All of a sudden, those people who didn't care about moon cakes were also interested, and the price of moon cakes was acceptable even to some small officials.

Naturally, mooncakes have become a hot seller in Chang'an in a short period of time, even if it is only for a short day, but this is also a big benefit.

Even Hong Niang asked people to rush to make moon cakes. Even she didn't expect that the moon cakes were more popular than she imagined, but it was all thanks to that majesty.

Chapter 335 The Sigh of the Past

The matchmaker was very emotional about this, the reason is very simple, that is, the identity of this majesty was known to her.

One must know that as she comes into contact with more dignitaries, she will naturally not forget that young man with many stars.

Later, she secretly asked a relatively familiar courtier, and finally found out the identity of the young man.

It turned out that he was the most honorable person in the entire Tang Dynasty. After knowing his identity, even the matchmaker was shocked.

She clearly remembered what this Majesty said to him, it turned out that Li Zhi was Princess Changle.

I didn't expect that Ya Ya would have such an opportunity to meet the princess, but Hong Niang still smiled wryly in the end.

Because all of this has nothing to do with my uncle. It turns out that the current queen is his uncle's adopted daughter.

No wonder that one was so polite to him back then, it can be said that the matchmaker was very shocked at that time.

Even for this reason, she went to ask her uncle if she wanted to keep Yaya away from Lizhi.

The reason is very simple, the difference in their identities is too great, especially the matchmaker is afraid that Ya Ya will anger this princess.

But his uncle shook his head, indicating that there is no need to care about this matter.

In Shu An's eyes, there is not much difference between Yaya and Lizhi, and considering his own face, even if something happens, it will not be a serious problem.

In fact, as Shu An thought, Yaya and Lizhi get along well, and even Li Shimin made a special case for Yaya and Lizhi to study together.

It can be said that this is already a big favor, and of course it has a lot to do with Ya Ya's learning a lot of knowledge in the academy.

At least Li Shimin is interested in a lot of knowledge, and Shu An did not refuse this matter.

Because Ya Ya is not considered a thing among a group of teenagers in the academy, the fame of this era is still very important.

On the contrary, it is just right to enter the palace and be with Li Zhi, especially for Shu An, Ya Ya doesn't need to learn much knowledge.

Basic literacy and some women's reading materials are enough. After all, Shu An wanted Ya Ya to become a lady from the very beginning.

Even getting the title of princess in the future is not difficult.

It seems that both Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are very kind to Shu An, a niece and granddaughter.

The matchmaker didn't feel much emotion about this matter, but continued to stare at the sale of the mooncakes.

.......

The night fell slowly, but the hustle and bustle of Chang'an did not fall, but was more lively than during the day.

After all, this day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, even ordinary people who go to bed early are waiting for the bright moon.

Not to mention that the palace was already full of excitement, and many ministers brought their families into the palace one after another.

"Xuanling, do you think about poetry?"

Just after Fang Xuanling entered the palace and took his seat, Du Ruhui smiled and said.

You must know that the Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner will naturally have a competition on poetry, but in fact it started very early.

Basically, I started thinking about the poem a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, otherwise, not many people present could compose a poem on the spur of the moment.

"Keming, the key is to participate."

Fang Xuanling said with a wry smile on his face, the calculation of such a thing as poetry really depends on talent.

Although they were born in the noble family, it does not mean that they are interested in this aspect.

The words in poetry are just going with the flow, and of course they don't care about the result.

Du Ruhui nodded, agreeing with the words of this old friend. He is also powerless when it comes to writing poems.

"Unfortunately, I heard that the teacher declined this dinner this time."

But Du Ruhui's voice could not help but slowly sounded, if the teacher was here tonight, then his teacher would definitely come up with a masterpiece.

"It's a pity indeed! Duke Anxuan hasn't written any new poems for some days."

Fang Xuanling agreed that although they were not good at composing poems, it did not hinder their appreciation of poems.

For example, the song "Lingyan Pavilion" by Lord Anxuan before, even they were touched a lot.

While the two were talking, many ministers and concubines entered the venue one after another, as well as many princes and princesses.

It can be said that these people do not have any chance to gather together in ordinary times.

There are only a few festivals a year to get together, and different identities are divided into small groups to whisper.

Not long after, the figures of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun came together.

"I have met Your Majesty, Empress Empress!"

"I have met Your Majesty, Empress Empress!"

.......

After seeing the two people, the people present couldn't help standing up and saluting.

After sitting in the most middle position, Li Shimin's eyes could not help but fall on everyone present.

"You don't need to be too polite, dear friends."

"Tonight is the night of Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Fine wine and moon cakes are ready for the palace."

......

Li Shimin's voice sounded slowly, but this voice also confirmed one thing.

That is, this emperor really likes moon cakes. Of course, most people have no objection to moon cakes.

The reason is very simple, these ministers are all shrewd people, even if they didn't receive the mooncakes from Duke Anxuan, they would go to heaven and earth to buy a few pieces to try.

It is to prevent His Majesty from asking, so that there will be no embarrassment.

However, the taste of mooncakes also conquered these ministers, but it is a pity that there are too many people buying mooncakes.

Even in heaven and earth, one can only buy one piece, which disappoints many ministers who also like mooncakes very much.

Of course, there are also some people who are a little unfamiliar with moon cakes, that is, concubines and princes in the court.

Because these people did not leave the palace, they did not know what happened in Chang'an.

"Is this a mooncake?"

"It is said that it was made by Duke Anxuan."

......

These people looked at the moon cakes in front of them and talked in low voices, but these concubines in the harem didn't have a good impression of Duke Anxuan.
