Chapter 211: The Legend of Soup Dumplings
"Who can tell me where the emperor went?"
The eunuchs and maids beside him were trembling with fear, while the guards outside the door looked calm.
Empress Changsun narrowed her eyes and looked at the neatly arranged memorials on the table in the imperial study, all of which had been reviewed. For a moment, she was a little confused.
The emperor has been mysterious recently. After the morning court, he stayed in the imperial study to review the memorials. He disappeared at noon and did not come back until late at night.
After returning, he fell asleep and snored loudly.
This is very abnormal!
Is the emperor so diligent? Those memorials had to be reviewed for a whole day before, but now the emperor finished in less than one morning?
The emperor must be hiding something, could it be...
For a moment, Empress Changsun felt a sense of betrayal.
The emperor must have a woman outside!
As the queen of the Tang Dynasty, she was cuckolded today. How could she tolerate this?
The key is what kind of woman do you like, Your Majesty? You can just summon her to the palace. Why do you have to be so sneaky?
The more Empress Changsun thought about it, the angrier she became: "Change your clothes and go to the Marquis of Lantian's mansion!"
Empress Changsun had only one thought: Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want, but you can't affect the Marquis of Lantian. The young man Liu Xuan is favored by this palace and is left for Changle. You must not lead him astray.
...
The land of Lantian always gives people surprises.
Yuan Tiangang, who is old, stood on a high mound with his hands behind his back, looking very elegant.
The autumn wind blew, the fallen leaves fluttered, and Yuan Tiangang's gray beard fluttered in the wind, looking like a hermit, but under the robe, the trembling body seemed to explain a problem.
Li Shimin noticed this problem. He looked at the painter who was busy and sweating, and then looked at Yuan Tiangang who was as steady as a mountain.
"Master, aren't you afraid of the cold?"
Yuan Tiangang tilted his head slightly: "Your Majesty, of course I am cold, so I have to ask the painter to hurry up."
Half an hour later, Yuan Tiangang was shivering, warming himself by the stove, and breathing out white air from his mouth.
Pretending is also a bit of a pain.
Although he was cold, today's historic moment was forever recorded in calligraphy and painting.
Looking at his immortal appearance on the scroll, Yuan Tiangang was very satisfied.
Li Shimin, who was standing by, couldn't hold back any longer.
A large tomb of a Han Dynasty king was discovered today, and Li Shimin decided to take people down in person: "Old Yuan, you hold the stove, and we'll keep warm as we walk."
On the ground, the soil had been pressed very hard, and the wide road extended underground, tilted, but straight.
In front of Li Shimin were more than a dozen guards, holding spears and swords, alert and cautious.
Li Shimin followed those tomb-raiding lieutenants calmly.
There are not many teams that can interpret tomb robbing as road construction, and only the Zuo Wuwei can do it.
Yuan Tiangang said proudly: "Your Majesty, if it were an ordinary thief in such a big tomb, they would definitely be scared to death and dare not dig randomly. There are traps everywhere and they may be pierced through the body."
"But your majesty is unparalleled in majesty, and the army has opened the way and built this road to heaven. I think it is also the honor of the owner of this tomb!"
Hearing that Yuan Tiangang's mouth was like honey, Li Shimin smiled calmly and looked at the row of big boxes in front.
"These have been sorted out, but they have not been cleaned to their heart's content. Your Majesty must not touch them with your hands now."
"Your Majesty, look here, this is Wang Xizhi's..."
Li Shimin's eyes lit up and his whole body trembled.
At the beginning, Liu Xuan persuaded me, Li Shimin, to borrow money from the senior, but I was unwilling to do so.
Liu Xuan is really a god!
It smells so good!
At this time, Liu Xuan sneezed suddenly and then became confused.
I sneezed a lot today. After all, I am invulnerable to water and fire, and I am strong enough to pull mountains. With the help of the system, I can't say that I have the strongest body in the Tang Dynasty, but at least I am not afraid of anyone, right?
Why do I keep sneezing?
After washing his hands, Liu Xuan began to serve spicy soup to Yaya.
"Grandpa, Miss Li, please help yourself."
Yaya held a small wooden spoon in her hand. The braid on her head was forcibly turned into a pillar by Liu Xuan. It was very hard and stood up, and it was 20 to 30 centimeters long.
"Aye, my head is heavy."
It's really heavy. The braid is longer than the head, and the center of gravity is off. How can it not be heavy?
"Yaya, you believe Aye, it's not heavy."
"You don't want your hair to fall into the soup when you eat, right?"
Yaya nodded vigorously as if she had realized something.
The pillar-like braid on the top of her head swung back and forth, quite active.
Li Yuan and Li Lizhi were almost drooling at this moment. Fortunately, there was still soup in their spoons, otherwise they would have been exposed.
Li Yuan swallowed a mouthful of spicy soup and felt that his whole body was filled with warmth.
That feeling started from the mouth, passed through the throat, then reached the stomach, and then quickly spread to the body and limbs.
Soon, everything was warm.
The spicy taste on the tongue made Li Yuan's mouth secrete saliva continuously. This feeling had never been experienced before.
The golden vegetable box and meat box in front of him exuded a fragrance, which was extremely tempting.
Li Lizhi couldn't help it and took a bite.
Click...
In an instant, Li Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
This sound was unbearable.
Yaya also stretched out her hand and wanted to eat the vegetable box, but was stopped by Liu Xuan.
"Yaya, you eat the buns first."
Children can't eat so much greasy food. Let's have a soup dumpling first. If they are full, they won't have to get all greasy.
Yaya pouted and opened her mouth wide when facing the soup dumplings in front of her.
When Li Yuan saw the white, fat soup dumplings with big fillings and thin skins, he couldn't help it. He grabbed one and put it in his mouth.
Poof!
Soup dumplings, as the name suggests, have soup inside.
Li Yuan took one sip, and a stream of hot liquid instantly spurted out from the breach, rushing toward Li Yuan's face, clothes, and mouth.
In an instant, Li Yuan became embarrassed.
There was a burning pain in his mouth, but Li Yuan instinctively felt that the soup was extremely delicious and was reluctant to spit it out. He could only raise his head and make a gurgling sound while making a series of strange noises.
"Oh... baboon, baboon..."
Seeing this scene, Yaya burst out laughing: "Ah, ah, ah, look, grandpa is eaten all over."
"Same as Yaya!"
Facing Yaya's childlike taunts, Li Yuan didn't feel any embarrassment on his face. You are a child and I am an old man, they are all the same.
Li Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at Yaya: "Yaya, you see grandpa has already eaten the soup dumplings, you want to eat one too?"
Li Yuan waited for Yaya to squirt soup, and then teased her.
But the next moment, Yaya seriously took out a bamboo tube and inserted it into the soup dumpling in front of her.
Snort...snort...
Sucked up.
