Prince of Tang Dynasty

For the luncheon of the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Shimin will lead all civil and military officials to the Tai Chi Hall for lunch.However, Empress Changsun will lead the harem concubines and wives to have lunch in Yiyuan Hall.

Princes like Li Yu and the others don't have to go to the Tai Chi Hall to attend the Duanyang Festival luncheon, but they have to attend the Duanyang Festival luncheon in the Yiyuan Hall.

Since it is the luncheon of the Duanyang Festival, zongzi is naturally indispensable at the banquet.However, these zongzi were not the same as the zongzi Li Yu ate in his previous life.Although they are all zongzi, in the Tang Dynasty, people would wrap many colorful silk threads on the zongzi and weave grass ropes into patterns. The zongzi packed in this way were called "baisuo zongzi".

Before the luncheon began, Empress Changsun personally gave Li Yu and the others two Baisuo zongzi to their underage princes and princesses.

When it was Li Yu's turn, he said bluntly, "Mother, I want meat dumplings, not sweet ones."

When Empress Changsun heard this, she gave her younger son helpless a look: "You are the only one who asks for more." Although Empress Changsun said so, she still gave her younger son two meat dumplings.

After Li Yu took the two Baisuo rice dumplings, he held them up to his nose and smelled them carefully. After smelling the aroma of the meat, a bright and happy smile immediately appeared on his little face: "Thank you, Ma'am."

In addition to giving rice dumplings to the underage prince Baisuo, Empress Changsun also gave them other gifts.

Empress Changsun handed Li Yu a brocade box, "Take it."

Li Yu was not in a hurry to pick up the brocade box, but looked suspiciously at Empress Changsun with both eyes: "Mother, is the brocade box you gave me another evil sachet?"

Empress Changsun looked at her youngest son's disgusted and wary look, angrily and funny: "Why, you don't want it?"

"To be honest, I don't want evil sachets." Li Yu said frankly, "Auntie, you have to give us sachets for every festival and new year. We have so many sachets that we can open incense It's a sac shop." The sachet is useless except for decoration.

Empress Changsun laughed angrily at the youngest son's words: "You still despise him."

"No, Auntie, during the festival and new year, can you be careful when you give us gifts, don't always give us sachets, you have to give us what we want." Li Yu pointed to himself, very sincerely Said, "The thing I want most is silver, why don't you give me silver."

"Oh, Xiao Yu'er, since when did you become a fan of small money?" Concubine Yang and the others were laughed at by Li Yu's honest words asking for gifts, "How much money do you want?"

"Of course, the more the better." Li Yu raised his chin and said, "I will never despise less money."

"Hahahahaha..." Concubine Yang Gui couldn't help but want to tease Li Yu, "Xiao Yu'er, if the empress doesn't give you money, I'll give it to you."

As soon as Li Yu heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and his face also lit up: "Really?"

"Really, but I have to test you before I can give it to you."

Hearing this, Li Yu pouted in disgust: "You adults are so disgusting, why can't you just give things to children without hesitation? You have to inspect them."

Concubine Yang Gui and the others couldn't stop laughing at Li Yu's words, Xiao Yu'er was so happy.

"Xiao Yu'er, do you want it?"

"For the sake of money, of course I want it. You can come up with a question." After Li Yu finished speaking, he put on an expression of being generous for the money.

Seeing Li Yu's expression of disgust and reluctance, Yang Guifei and the others couldn't be happier.

"I won't make things difficult for you, just recite a poem about Duanyang Festival for us."

Concubine Zheng Xian interjected at this time: "Xiao Yu'er, aren't you reading with Mr. Xiao, please recite some poems for us to listen to."

Li Yu felt that his current appearance was as if he was asked to perform by his elders during the Chinese New Year. He was really... Speechless...

"I haven't learned any poems related to the Duanyang Festival. Let me give you Qu Yuan's "Li Sao"." Li Yu said, "The Duanyang Festival is originally to commemorate Qu Yuan. I recite Qu Yuan's "Li Sao" very well."

"Okay, then you can recite "Li Sao"." Concubine Yang gently shook the exquisite round fan in her hand, "If you recite a word wrong, I won't give you money."

Li Yu bargained and said: "Aunt Yang, if I recite it verbatim, can you give me a little more money?"

"Sure, if you recite all of "Li Sao" word by word, Aunt Yang will give you 1000 taels of silver." Yang Guifei said very proudly.

1000 taels? !

As soon as Li Yu heard the 1000 taels, his eyes lit up, "Aunt Yang, you keep what you say, don't ask me to recite it, you don't accept it."

"Don't worry, Aunt Yang won't break her promise." Concubine Yang looked at Li Yu with a smile, "You can start reciting it now."

Before reciting "Li Sao", Li Yu was still acting up, puffed out his small chest, raised his face, and cleared his throat lightly: "Ahem, cough, listen up, I'm starting to recite now."

[The Miao descendant of Emperor Gaoyang is here, and the emperor's examination is called Boyong. ...]

Li Yu stood in the middle of the banquet, with a pair of small hands behind his back, a small body upright, and a small head raised, reciting "Li Sao" eloquently.He looked confident, recited very passionately, and his tone was cadenced.

Empress Changsun looked at her confident young son with a smile in her eyes and a sense of relief in her heart.

Concubine Yang Gui and the others couldn't help laughing when they saw Li Yu reciting so passionately.

Li Yu recited a piece of "Li Sao" verbatim.

"Aniang Yang, did I recite it wrong?"

"No, you turned your back on everything." Concubine Yang praised without hesitation, "Xiao Yu'er, you are really amazing!"

"Aunt Yang, since I did not make a mistake, don't forget to give me 1000 taels." At this time, Li Yu still reminded Concubine Yang about the 1000 taels.

Seeing that Li Yusheng was afraid that she would not admit it, Concubine Yang only thought the child was funny and cute, "Aunt Yang will ask someone to bring you the money now."

Li Yu clasped his fists and bowed to Concubine Yang Gui: "Aunt Yang is very straightforward, thank you Aunt Yang."

"Hahahahaha...you child..." Xiao Yu'er is really fun.

"Do any other ladies need me to perform memorization and reciting poems? If so, just tell me." Li Yu felt that he could earn 1000 taels by reciting recitation or reciting poems, which was really a good money, so he didn't mind performing for a while longer. "Of course I recited it. You are going to give me a lottery, and the lottery is of course silver."

Empress Changsun frowned slightly when she heard her youngest son say such "shameless" words, "Little Yu'er, don't be rude!" This child is really... more and more cheeky for money. up.

Li Yu was not afraid of the eldest grandson empress, and said to his aunt with a playful smile: "Aniang, today is the Duanyang Festival. As a junior, I will perform for everyone to have fun." Today is the Duanyang Festival, so he can take advantage of this opportunity earn a fortune.After lunch, when I went to the Tai Chi Hall to look for Comrade Lao Li, I also used the current method to ask Comrade Lao Li for money.

"Empress, Xiao Yu'er is right." Concubine Yan De said with a smile, "In this case, Xiao Yu'er, please memorize "The Book of Songs" for me. If you recite well, I will give you 1000 taels of silver. "

Li Yu said with a bright face, "No problem, Aunt Yan."

Next, Li Yu recited five poems from "The Book of Songs" in one breath, "Guanju", "Jianjia", "Mang", "Xiaoya Caiwei" and "Jingnv".

After he finished reciting, he received a piece of applause.Concubine Yan De praised Li Yu non-stop, and ordered people to go back to fetch money for Li Yu.

Concubine Yang Gui and Concubine Yan De asked Li Yu to recite books and poems, and other concubines who wanted to please the eldest grandson also offered money to ask Li Yu to recite books and poems.

After a short time, Li Yu got 1 taels of silver into the account, and he was so happy that he laughed till the corners of his ears.

Seeing the youngest son's happy appearance as a money fan, Empress Zhangsun was full of helplessness, and did not let her youngest son continue to "play around": "Let someone set up a meal."

Qiaogu: "Yes, empress."

Here, the matter of Li Yu's reciting books and poems quickly reached Li Shimin's ears.

Hearing that the youngest son made money by endorsing books and poems, Li Shimin was angry, funny and helpless, and scolded Li Yu in his heart for falling into the money.

The luncheon in Yiyuan Hall started, and the singer and dancer were performing.

Li Yu was advising Li Mingda, "Mingda, you will take the initiative to go up and perform, and then A Niang and other empresses will reward you."

Li Mingda nodded: "Okay, then I'll dance for A Niang and the others."

"Yes, you dance beautifully, and Auntie will definitely reward you."

Li Zhi looked at Li Yu and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Yu'er, what about me?"

"Ninth brother, you can recite books or poems like me." Li Yu winked at Li Zhi, "Your memorization is good, and Auntie will definitely reward you." His goal is not high, and he will earn 5 taels today.

"Okay, then I'll memorize a few more poems." Xiao Yu'er was right, it's the most important thing to ask for rewards on the Dragon Boat Festival, they can't let go of such a good opportunity to earn money.

"Empress, is this a meat dumpling?" Concubine Yang Guifei ate a meat dumpling and thought it tasted very good. She said in surprise, "Is this just made by Shangshi Bureau?"

Concubine Yan De also said: "This meat dumpling is very delicious, and the people in Shangshi Bureau are getting more and more good at making things to eat."

Concubine Zheng Xian said in a nasty way on purpose: "I don't think it tastes good, it's very greasy."

The other concubines said that the meat zongzi was delicious, and asked how the meat zongzi was made.

Empress Changsun said that the meat dumplings were not made by Shangshi Bureau, but by Li Yu.

Concubine Yang and the others praised Li Yu for being clever when they heard that Li Yu made the meat dumplings.

Li Yu said that he is definitely the smartest person when it comes to food.

In addition to meat dumplings, there are also dumplings filled with salted duck egg yolk.However, some concubines like to eat zongzi with this stuffing, and some concubines don't like it.

On the other hand, in the Taiji Hall, many civil and military officials also expressed their deliciousness after eating the meat dumplings.

Comrade Lao Li took advantage of this time to proudly show off that his youngest son made this meat dumpling.

Don't look at Comrade Li who often lectures Li Yu, but in front of outsiders, he shows off his youngest son from time to time.

The author has something to say: Carp: As witty as I am.

Author: There is a way to make money.

Empress Changsun: Why is this child getting more and more shameless?

Carp: What is the face, I just want silver.
