Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Tian Hanshu was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled, and he regained his spirit immediately, "My lord, could it be that Fang Yizhi—"

"Guilty!" Li Mingda said.

Tian Hanxi hurriedly choked back the second half of what he was about to say, and looked at his princess suspiciously.

"When I was in Chang'an earlier, I saw him and Yuchi Baoqi receive orders in front of Aye. It just so happened that Aye finished ordering them, and they came to Anzhou. Would it be a trivial matter?"

"That's right! So Fang Dalang sent three roasted Luosu to your lord, and he wanted your lord to let his mouth be soft and not to ask about their affairs." Tian Hanxi was very excited as if he had discovered some big secret. .

"It's not so stingy, but it kind of means it." Li Mingda held his chin and pondered for a while, and always felt that Fang Yi seemed to have discovered something about her, so he felt so keenly that he might intervene. The things he wants to investigate, "Actually, I don't bother to take care of their affairs. I finally get a chance to go out and relax. Let's just play."

Tian Hanshan responded: "That's right, it's better to go out to relax. Just now we rode on the streets of Anzhou City, and I saw a lot of places to eat and play. I heard that there are many places near Anzhou City. There are several famous mountains, exquisite and exquisite. This place is really a wonderful place with outstanding people."

"Well, we all have to go." Although Li Mingda has a steady temper, he is also extremely happy when it comes to playing, and said immediately, "When it comes to eating, I suddenly remembered that this trip must not wrong myself. You go back and send someone to tell the cook of the Princess Mansion that I want light vegetarian dishes without meat. I will go to Ling'an Temple to pray for blessings in a few days, so I should fast."

"Yes, then does your lord still want to eat roasted Luosu?"

"This kind of grilled food is better than boiled food. It would be great if you can try other dishes. But don't bother them in vain, and don't be stingy with rewards." Li Mingda sighed.

"Yes." Tian Hanshan secretly sighed that his noble lord was considerate, so sympathetic, it is really a blessing for them slaves.Turning around, he sent someone to give instructions, and repeatedly asked that the dishes must be all vegetarian, and no meat or meat should be added.Although their princess is praying for the country on behalf of the king in private this time, it is also a big event, and they must observe etiquette.

In the evening, Li Mingda yawned because he was tired from the long journey, his eyelids couldn't hold back, so he ordered him to go down to take a bath and go to bed.At that time, the people from the princess mansion sent news to Li Mingda that Prince Consort Pei had returned.

Li Mingda turned his eyes to look at the sky outside the window, and it was already dark, "He is the governor of Bianzhou. He came to Anzhou because of his aunt's travels and fell ill. It should be nothing important for government affairs. Why is there something wrong? Come back late?"

"That's right, I'm so busy with something important," Tian Hanshan thought about it for the same reason, and then asked Li Mingda if he saw or missed Prince Consort Pei today.

"Sleepy, go to sleep."

As soon as Li Mingda's words fell, someone from the princess mansion over there came to send a message for the second time, to ask if Li Mingda had gone to bed, and if not, please invite her to go.

Tian Hanshan immediately pulled his face down. After he sent the man away, he felt very unhappy in his heart.

It doesn't matter if Prince Consort Pei came back late, anyway, although the princess had informed her two or three days in advance, she didn't know the exact date, so he could barely explain it by not waiting to be greeted at home.But it's getting late at this moment, but anyone with a brain knows that their lord must be tired from the long journey, and it's best to wait until tomorrow morning to meet people.However, Princess Linhai, like Concubine Pei, sent someone to inform her at this moment.Although they were just politely asking if they had gone to bed, they were still a little rude.If they sincerely did not want to disturb your lord, they should not have sent someone to ask questions at all.

Princess Linhai and Concubine Pei are the princess's aunt and uncle. As long as they hear the news, they will go for a visit after all because of their seniority. After all, she is a junior, and her princess will choose Respect the elders first.

Tian Hanxi hesitated whether he should make his own decisions and block the matter, so he was questioned.

"I heard voices outside just now, but is there something wrong?" Li Mingda re-tied the belt he had just untied.Li Mingda had already heard what was said outside the room just now, but he couldn't say it directly.

Tian Hanshan thought that his expression was too exaggerated, so that your lord could see through his thoughts at a glance, so he had no choice but to repeat it honestly.

Sure enough, as Tian Hanshan expected, the princess immediately got up to meet Princess Linhai and Consort Pei.

When Li Mingda was about to arrive, he heard Li Yuqiong in the room joking with Prince Consort Pei.When the person who sent the message shouted, the two stopped laughing, and then they only listened to Pei Concubine telling Li Yuqiong to restrain himself, Li Yuqiong hummed and agreed, the two were speechless, waiting for Li Mingda to arrive.

As soon as Li Mingda entered, he heard Li Yuqiong's footsteps welcoming him with a smile.Then he raised his eyes and saw a handsome man standing behind Li Yuqiong. This man was tall, fair-skinned, and looked better than Pan An.Seeing that his clothes are rich and noble, and the embroidered pattern on the front of the outer shirt is exactly the same as the pattern on Li Yuqiong's skirt, it can be seen that this must be Pei's son-in-law.

Li Mingda was a little surprised, but he really didn't expect that Prince Consort Pei looked so young.According to his understanding, Concubine Pei should be the same age as Li Yuqiong, but now he looks like a young man in his 20s, not at all like someone who is nearly [-] years old.Li Yuqiong and her were together, not like a couple of the same age, but more like an uncle and nephew.

Li Yuqiong couldn't be as polite as Li Mingda, so she got up and held her hand with a smile, telling her not to be polite.Afterwards, Li Yuqiong happily introduced Prince Consort Pei to Li Mingda, and after Li Mingda greeted him, Li Yuqiong stared at Prince Consort Pei with sparkling eyes, letting him have a good look at her niece.

"How? Just like I said before, this child is gentle and decent, charming and pleasant, and people can't help but feel happy when they see her. I heard that the second brother dotes on her very much, and I thought it was because the second brother missed the second sister-in-law. But now that I see myself, I know it's not the case. It's because our son's appearance, talent, learning, and temperament are outstanding, extremely sensible, and lovable. She is first-class among princesses, and women all over the world can't find it. The second one." Li Yuqiong sighed as she spoke, as if she had discovered something shocking.

Li Mingda smiled politely at Li Yuqiong: "My aunt is highly praised, but I dare not be my son."

"Damn, why don't you dare. Auntie only tells the truth, if you don't believe me, ask your uncle, is that true?" Li Yuqiong looked at Prince Consort Pei as she spoke, her gaze became softer.At the moment Prince Consort Pei nodded in agreement, Li Yuqiong smiled, revealing a hint of coquettish anger.

Ordinary people can do it in the blink of an eye, but in Li Mingda's eyes, he couldn't bear it, and was about to say goodbye, when he heard Prince Concubine Pei's order to her.

"I heard from your aunt that when you come to Anzhou to visit your aunt's illness, you also have to go to Ling'an Temple to pray for blessings, and you also need to relax. Just pray for this important thing, and let your aunt recover from illness. The time is bad, it seems that there is nothing important at the moment, so you don't have to estimate it, it should be fun, if you need anything or don't understand, just come to me and your aunt. You may not dare to respond to other things, but you are called Playing in Anzhou is delicious, but it can be done." Concubine Pei smiled gently at Li Mingda, as gentle as possible.

Li Yuqiong has been staring at Concubine Pei closely, seeing his gaze resting on Li Mingda for a while, although he didn't see anything unusual, but he still had some taste in his heart, so the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little unnatural.She hurriedly said: "Oh, look, it's getting late, Sizi is tired from traveling all day, should I tell her to go to rest earlier?"

What Li Yuqiong uttered was a question, and when he finished speaking, he looked at Prince Consort Pei.Seeing Concubine Pei nodding, he said that Li Yuqiong would not stop bothering Princess Jinyang at such a late hour.Li Yuqiong hurriedly apologized to Li Mingda, asking her to forgive her, a patient who sometimes suffers from headaches, for her lack of thoughtfulness.

"I don't mind." Li Mingda said goodbye.

When Li Mingda turned around and walked away, he heard the slight sound of something rubbing against each other. He turned his head slightly and looked out of the corner of his eye. He saw Pei Concubine and Li Yuqiong standing side by side and smiling at him, but their hands next to each other were gone. .Li Mingda suddenly remembered that Li Yuqiong's left hand and Pei Concubine's right hand both wore the same gemstone ring.The subtle sound she heard just now was probably caused by the rubbing of these two rings.

The two were holding hands behind her back.

Li Mingda didn't dare to delay the 'love' between the two, so he left immediately.Unexpectedly, she just left the room on her front foot.Immediately, Lin Li Yuqiong asked Consort Pei why he looked at Princess Jinyang with such eyes.

"Si, my second brother's favorite princess, if you dare to make a mistake, I will immediately cut off your head with a knife."

Pei Zitong hurriedly made an oath: "The conscience of heaven and earth, I just looked up to her because of her favored status, but it's just for our sake. The princess really thought too much this time, I said I would never do it again." If I blame you, I definitely won't. Besides, such a little girl is not my favorite, Pei Zitong. "

"Really?"

"Of course it is true, my precious princess, then let's..."

When Li Mingda heard this, he walked like flying.

Tian Hanshan hurriedly followed, feeling strange, asked nervously: "Princess, is there something uncomfortable?"

Li Mingda shook his head, his cheeks flushed slightly.Not long after returning to the room, Li Mingda was lying on the couch and was about to sleep peacefully. In a daze, he suddenly heard two women's voices coming from a distance.

"The son-in-law is back, do you know?"

"I know, I know, when I just came back, Zhuzi and I went to take a sneak peek. The son-in-law is still so handsome, it makes people's hearts jump out."

"I think you are pretty, but you can consider climbing the bed of the son-in-law."

"Hey, don't say such things. If you have such a heart, think about the princess, who would dare!"

"Just to tease you, you really dare to think about it! You can't afford to climb this high branch, be careful! It's getting late, let's eat this bag of mutton secretly, and then we can go back to sleep."

Li Mingda then vaguely heard the sound of eating.Because she was too sleepy, she didn't open her eyes, she knew that the maids in the mansion were just eating, but when the sound disappeared, she turned over and continued to sleep.

At dawn the next day, King Wu immediately sent a message that he would come in the afternoon.

Li Mingda responded, sent someone to reply to Li Ke, and then went to have breakfast.

Li Mingda picked up his chopsticks and casually picked up a piece of Chinese cabbage, but there was a faint smell of mutton.Li Mingda frowned, and asked if there was mutton in the dish.

Tian Hanshan fiddled with his chopsticks, and then confirmed: "No."

Li Mingda glanced at the vegetable plate that Tianganshan had fiddled with, and immediately saw a small piece of meat on the edge of a vegetable leaf.

"Let it go, but picked out the meat." Li Mingda said.

Tian Hanshan immediately took someone to ask the cook himself, but the cook refused to admit it.But after a few threats, the cook couldn't handle it any longer, saying that he really forgot about Princess Jinyang's vegetarian diet because he was too busy at the time, and because he was too busy to redo it, he simply asked someone to pick out the meat , I thought that people often eat mutton, even if there is a little taste in the dish, they can't taste it.

What happened last night and what happened this morning made Tian Hanxi very angry. He could tell that the people in Linhai Princess Mansion didn't give their best to their princess.How can he let go of the crime of neglecting and deceiving the princess at will, and today he intends to take the opportunity to make an example of others.So he ordered someone to beat up the cook, and when the matter was settled, Fang went back to Li Mingda, and sent someone to inform the housekeeper of the Princess Mansion.

Li Mingda has no objection to Tian Hanshan's handling, he has always done things properly, this time it is true that the cook did not fulfill his duty and should be punished.

After Li Yuqiong heard the news, she immediately came to apologize to Li Mingda, and sighed for Tian Hanxi's happy handling.

"It's really embarrassing for me to raise such a domestic slave. But before you deal with the servants in the house, you should tell your aunt first. This cook is very good at roasting whole lamb. After roasting, the skin is crispy and the inside is crispy." It's cooked, and it's not burnt at all. His craftsmanship is well-known in Man'anzhou City. Your uncle Ming'er is planning to use it to entertain a few children. He can't get out of bed after being beaten like this. I don't know where to find someone with such craftsmanship. Make up. Actually, as long as you get past tomorrow's matter, I won't feel sorry for you beating that cook to death." Li Yuqiong sighed with a sad face, and wondered if he could find another suitable person to replace him temporarily. he.

"He lied to and offended the princess first, so it's not wrong to deal with him immediately according to the regulations. If my aunt thinks he shouldn't be punished, but I made trouble here, she can just say so. I'm going to live in Ling'an Temple, which is convenient for fasting."

"Okay, okay, auntie said the wrong thing. Look at you child, but you just casually express emotion, and you take it seriously. How can you live in that crappy place in Ling'an Temple? If you really go, you will embarrass me!"

After Li Yuqiong said goodbye to Li Mingda with a smile on her face, she hadn't walked far after leaving the hospital, when she happened to meet Prince Consort Pei who was coming towards her.

Pei Zitong looked down at Li Yuqiong, and said angrily, "Stupid woman is confused! She's just a cook, what are you going to do with her? Later we still expect her to come forward to serve Fang Yizhi, so don't investigate any further."

Li Yuqiong hurriedly made amends, and dragged Pei Concubine to apologize.Concubine Pei snorted coldly dissatisfied, and urged Li Yuqiong to send someone to apologize to Li Mingda again, and try to make a few things to please Li Mingda, only then was he barely satisfied, and followed Li Yuqiong to pull him away.

A son-in-law dared to call the princess a stupid woman. The princess didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and she committed herself to apologize several times. How could her Linhai aunt be so soft-boned.Li Mingda frowned, puzzled.
