After selecting the candidates for the competition, I took another class on classics and history, and then I left school.

After Yuan Yuan and his brothers ate the fruit peel, they were about to go to the East Palace to write the article requested by Li Shimin together.

As soon as they walked out of Hongwen Hall, they saw Princess Changle coming with her attendants.

Yuan Yuan saw Yuan Qing behind her with sharp eyes and ran over happily.

"Sister, sister, sister!!!"

She got up late, and when she went out in the morning, Yuan Qing had already been picked up by the palace's carriage, and they couldn't even have breakfast together! ! !

Yuan Qing was holding a big pot in his hand and was almost sent away after being hit by the little fat man.

The little kid hugged her and twisted around: "Sister, sister, I don't have any skin left to eat!!!"

Yuan Qing freed up a hand, grabbed her back collar and lifted her away: "Guo Danpi is nothing, today I want you to feel the source of life."

Yuan Yuanke was curious and followed her closely.

When Princess Changle saw everyone coming out, she quickly asked someone to open the food box she brought. She walked up to the prince and others and said with a smile: "I learned how to make some food with Mrs. Yuan, and brought it to my brother." Let’s taste it.”

Li Chengqian nodded gently: "Okay."

Yuchi Baoqi and others were originally going back to prepare for the competition, so they stayed for this reason.

The waiter came up with a tray filled with tea bowls.

Yuan Yuan couldn't see it, and anxiously tiptoed closer: "Sister, what is the spring of life..."

Yuan Qing took a bowl and opened the lid, and the rich milky aroma wafted out.

The little kid's mouth was almost drooling: "Wow..."

Li Tai was also confused by the fragrance: "Is this milk tea? Why is it so sweet?"

He quickly reached for a tea bowl, and others also took out bowls to taste.

This was the first time for these princes and princes to be so informal and drink tea outside like this.

Yuan Yuan took a few sips from Yuan Qing's hand, and her eyes turned into small hearts: "The fountain of life is really delicious..."

After Princess Changle distributed the milk tea, she looked at King Zhao with bright eyes, who nodded: "Well done."

She immediately laughed and looked at Yuan Qing gratefully.

The milk tea brewed in the morning was delivered to the Queen of Lizheng Palace and the Emperor of Liangyi Palace. Both of them specially sent people to praise them and also gave them rewards.

The ministers at the Liangyi Palace who were discussing the matter were also given a taste and heard that they were full of praise.

Princess Changle has never been praised like this before.

They also made fruit peel to help with digestion and sent it to the Supreme Emperor along with milk tea and nougat.

The Emperor didn't like her at first, but his attitude softened a lot later.

Princess Changle felt that the eldest lady of the Yuan family was really her noble person.

Yuan Qing was feeding the little fat boy milk tea at this time. The little kid was so happy that he jumped up and down twice, shaking so much that the milk tea spilled out and he couldn't hold it down.

After being forced to drink a cup of milk tea, the little guy patted his belly and sighed with contentment, "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".

But it made everyone else laugh to death.

After giving everyone food, Yuan Qing was taken away by Princess Changle, saying that they wanted to study other food together.

Now that she is with this magical sister, she feels particularly safe. Let’s make delicious food together today, and tomorrow we will go to her village to learn riding and shooting.

The fruit peels and nougat in Yuan Yuan's pocket have been refilled. She stood there with some sadness and waved to her sister who was drifting away.

Li Tai from behind suddenly said "Ouch" and said to the prince: "Eldest brother, are there butterfly cakes sent by my mother in the palace? They are fragrant and crispy, and the crumbs fall off after one bite..."

The prince glanced at Yuan Yuan: "Yes, there are still a lot of them, I haven't had time to eat them."

The two of them walked towards the East Palace as they talked. Sure enough, after a while, the sound of "ta-da-da" footsteps came from behind them.

"Brother, please wait for me. Yuanyuan also wants to eat Die Die Cake..."

***

On the other side, Li Ke took leave today and went to Tianlao.

Previously, Yang Hu, a remnant of the Sui Dynasty, was captured in a hunting ground. He only gave a partial account and obviously concealed some key information.

Since he wanted to promote Li Ke to the throne under the banner of restoring the bloodline of the previous dynasty, Li Shimin also showed Li Ke the letter of confession last time.

Li Ke took the initiative to ask for an order to see him.

He thought a lot before going.

Act in a play, maybe shed a few tears, to express your admiration for the grandfather you have never met.

Perhaps as the daughter of Emperor Sui Yang, his mother-in-law ordered him to confess.

But when I actually got inside, I saw a face that was too peaceful.

Yang Hu had been tortured for some time. In the dark and damp prison, he tried his best to make himself look as tidy as possible.

When the cell door opened, he knelt on the ground and saluted Li Ke.

"Your Majesty, Yang Hu, the bodyguard of Yang Guangzhi, the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty, has met the King of Han."

Li Ke helped him up, not caring about the stains on his clothes: "Sir, please get up."

With his support, Yang Hu knelt down on the hay, and Li Ke also lifted up his robe and sat on the other side.

The jailer at the door left, and Yang Hu looked at Li Ke with great relief: "I have been waiting for the king. I know they will definitely let you come to see me."

There was even some kindness on his face: "Your Majesty, please don't speak. Listen to me. I don't have much time. Your Majesty is not familiar with me, so there is no need to waste your time with pretentious remarks."

"What I'm hiding is black gunpowder, which is astonishingly powerful. It's your majesty...it's a recipe your grandfather got by accident. I'll tell you later. It's your gift. Whenever the Tang army fights in the future, they will never forget the merits of the king." .”

Li Ke's face was full of surprise.

Yang Hu smiled lightly and nodded: "I have been with your grandfather since I was a child. He may be a tyrant, but he is definitely not a coward. He has great ambitions, but he is too obsessed with becoming the emperor of the ages and is too eager. .”

"He has never met you or even set a good example for you."

"The Emperor of Tang gave him the evil posthumous title of 'Emperor Yang of Sui' and compared him to Xia Jie and Shang Zhou."

"But he just felt that all the sacrifices were worth it for the king's grand hegemony. He just ran around all his life, and when he looked back, no one was willing to give him another chance."

"The Sui Dynasty was a unified dynasty that inherited the Southern and Northern Dynasties and started the Tang Dynasty. It lasted for 37 years. I know that the king must have been wronged because of half of his blood, but I still hope that you will be proud of it."

"The Sui Dynasty is a heroic dynasty, a dynasty worthy of praise, and it is definitely not your shame."

He looked at Li Ke with a complicated expression, as if he was looking at others through him.

"When I was among the people, I heard about your reputation as a wise and brave king. When I saw him today, he was indeed a good man. Your Majesty will definitely be pleased. Regardless of whether your Majesty sits on that high position in the future, please remember not to let down the people."

"If one day I can wash away some of my Lord's reputation, I will die without regrets."

Yang Hu knelt down and bowed to him again: "I have only one master in my life. If the king is willing to show mercy, he will bury me in Lishan Mountain and let me guard your majesty and Chang'an."

"Please, Your Majesty, stand with your back turned."

Li Ke stood up silently, standing straight with his back to him.

Yang Hu whispered to him the formula of black powder, repeated it twice, paused, then bit his tongue and committed suicide.

He cannot be a counselor or a killer.

He is useless.

But he also wants to be loyal.
