Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

On the second day after the military parade, Yuchi Baoqi and Li Shimin lay down in the Ganlu Hall. Li Shimin kept sighing that the air conditioner was really amazing, as it not only blows cold air in the summer, but also cool air in the winter.

Yuchi Baoqi scratched his face and thought Li Shimin was being noisy: "Don't talk nonsense. You sound like an old lady nagging. It's very annoying."

Li Shimin was about to retort when Wang De came over quickly and said, "Your Majesty, the brothers Yan Lide, the chief architect, and Yan Liben, the deputy chief architect, are here to see you.

Li Shimin kicked Yuchi Baoqi, indicating that someone was coming and he should be more restrained.

Yuchi Baoqi sat up impatiently and leaned back on the sofa. Li Shimin cleared his throat and said, "Let them in."

Yan Lide and Yan Liben entered the Ganlu Hall. Yan Lide handed the developed photos to Wang De, who then handed them to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked back and forth at the thick stack of photos in his hand. The size of these photos seemed to be different from those taken with his Polaroid camera.

Even the parade formations in the photo revealed a strong sense of oppression. Li Shimin searched for a while and finally found his own picture.

You have to say, the way he leaned out of the skylight and shouted was so high-spirited and heroic.

"Come on, Xiaobao, take a look at what my photographer took."

Yan Liben stretched out his hand and opened his mouth, but unfortunately he could never utter the words "Your Majesty, I didn't take that photo."

Yuchi Baoqi looked through the photos, frowning a little. "It's because I didn't have enough time. I'm not familiar with the use of the camera. Many of the photos are overexposed. The portraits here are not sharp enough. I'll just select a few and ask the newspaper to print a special edition."

Li Shimin looked at the photos in his hand over and over again. These photos were good enough. It turned out that Xiaobao’s requirements were high.

"General, what is the important matter that you have come to see me for?"

Yan Lide was confused by the question. What could I do here? Didn't I come here to deliver photos to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of England?

Yan Lide never suspected that Li Shimin was mentally ill. He simply thought that he had misheard: "Your Majesty? What did you just say...?"

Li Shimin was also confused. Was his voice so soft?

"I want to ask you, what is the important matter that you came to Ganlu Palace to find me for this time? Did you hear it clearly?"

Yan Lide's brain started to boil. His Majesty must have his reasons for asking this. Is it that I failed to understand His Majesty's intention?

Yuchi Baoqi really couldn't help laughing, holding his stomach: "You are so stupid as to ask Yan Lide what he is doing here? Hahahaha! What else can he do? Deliver photos, what else."

Li Shimin looked at Yan Liben in confusion. Yan Liben tremblingly took out three photos and the Polaroid camera given to him by Li Shimin from his sleeve.

"Your Majesty....the photo you asked me to take...is here..."

Li Shimin didn't even let Wang De take it. He walked over quickly and snatched the photo from Yan Liben's hand. The size was correct this time. One of the three photos was overexposed, one was blurry as hell, and only one could vaguely show Li Shimin standing on the car sunroof.

Unfortunately, the only photo that can be vaguely distinguished is a back view.

"I'm not saying anything bad about Father, but isn't it a bit exaggerated to ask the Junior Supervisor of Works to take a Polaroid camera to take pictures of the military parade? With the speed at which they can take pictures, they can only take five pictures of a square formation at most."

Yan Liben nodded quickly, and Li Shimin looked at Yan Lide: "What kind of camera are you using? Not a Polaroid?"

Yan Lide took out the professional camera bag from behind him. With a hissing sound of the zipper, the camera, lens, and simple bracket were all in this bag.

Li Shimin felt relieved. Just looking at the exquisite appearance of this camera, it was not on the same level as the Polaroid camera. The Polaroid camera looked like a child's toy.

“This camera?”

Yuchi Baoqi crossed his legs and said, "I gave it to him. I was afraid that the chief architect would be busy, so I asked the deputy chief architect. But he was also busy, so I had to go and ask the old man who retired from the Ministry of Works to take me there."

Li Shimin realized that Yuchi Baoqi was talking about the Minister of Works Duan Lun, who begged for his remains after completing the Tang Dynasty's No. 1 dragon chariot a year ago.

"How is he doing lately?"

Yuchi Baoqi shrugged. "It's good. I organized a military fan club and study what weapons and equipment the Tang Dynasty and Tianwei Army have every day, as well as the power of various weapons and equipment. It's good to have a hobby when you're old."

Li Shimin thought about it for a moment and decided that since Yuchi Baoqi had not mentioned anything that might involve confidential information, there probably wouldn't be a problem of secret leaks.

"Let's go. I just happened to have a camera with me. Let's go take some photos for your mother. Polaroid cameras are not easy to use. When will you send one to the palace?"

Yuchi Baoqi was shocked. "Brother, this is a handmade thing. It is very painful to polish the lens. I will send it to you after it is made. It will not be available in a short time."

Li Shimin and Yuchi Baoqi walked out of the palace. Wang De reminded Yan Lide and his brother to follow them. Yan Liben didn't know whether he should go or not.

Yan Lide zipped up the camera bag on the ground, put on the camera and walked out of the hall. Looking back, he saw his younger brother was still standing there, so he quickly pulled him up.

--------------------

"Yes, yes, yes, mother, put your hand on father's arm, a little higher. Good, good, keep it there."

Yan Lide and Yan Liben watched Yuchi Baoqi operate the camera. They realized that the technique was really good. The framing and the posture were simply that of a master!

With a "click", Yuchi Baoqi said with emotion: "My mother still looks like she is eighteen years old, but the old man next to her is a bit of a letdown."

After a while, Li Shimin realized that the old man was talking about him. Empress Changsun also couldn't help but look at Li Shimin and cover her mouth with her hands while laughing.

In this way, Empress Changsun held Li Shimin's arm with one hand and covered her mouth with the other hand, and her smiling face was instantly captured by Yuchi Baoqi with his camera.

In the photo, Li Shimin next to Empress Changsun looked a little angry but helpless. The sunlight was evenly shining behind them, looking very warm.

Yan Lide and Yan Liben were instantly shocked. There was no filming at all when the click happened just now. The camera was turned off. Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of England wanted to create this expression in Empress Chang Sun?

"too strong!"

For an entire afternoon, Yuchi Baoqi took Yan Lide and Yan Liben to take photos of all the concubines in the harem. Li Shimin, who served as a prop for the photo shoot, naturally also took photos for an entire afternoon.

Li Shimin became very familiar with the process later on. He struck various poses, some majestic, some intimidating, and some playful.

After all, when taking a photo with Concubine Wei, except for a man as strong as a mountain like Su Lie, others can't pose well without being playful.
