Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

On the east side of Zhuque Street, there is the East Market.

Various shops and restaurants on both sides of the street are crowded with guests, presenting a scene of peace and prosperity.

There is a tall restaurant with the four characters "Leshan Restaurant" hanging on it, and the building is quite large.

From the side, including the miscellaneous rooms in the backyard of the restaurant, it covers an area of ​​about 2 mu, and the owner must be rich or noble.

This restaurant is completely different from other popular restaurants.

A young girl in silk and satin at the counter has a delicate face, but the sadness in her eyes is obvious.

"Sister Qiuju, the chef of the restaurant is the imperial chef of the palace, and the price is not more expensive than other restaurants. Why is there no business?"

Her father was worried about the empty treasury every day, and her mother, as the queen, had to do needlework by hand to supplement the expenses of the harem.

And she wanted to help her father and mother share their worries, but the restaurant business has been bleak, and the daily income is only 3 strings of copper coins.

3 guan of money is a huge sum of money for ordinary people.

But for the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, it is insignificant.

"Princess, I don't know. Princess, don't worry. This restaurant has just been open for more than two months. It will get better in the future."

The shopkeeper named Qiuju is the personal maid of Empress Changsun. She was sent to the restaurant to act as the shopkeeper and help Princess Changle manage the restaurant's affairs.

The girl is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Changle!

The most beloved daughter of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, 15 years old this year.

"Sister Qiuju, you have worked hard here. Jin'er and I are going back to the palace."

Changle forced a smile and said with a smile.

"Princess, this is what I should do. I will send the princess off!" Qiuju bowed.

Changle helped Qiuju up and said with a smile: "Sister Qiuju, call me Miss outside the palace from now on! I'm leaving, Jin'er, let's go back to the palace."

"Yes, Miss!"

Jin'er was a little girl of eleven or twelve years old, and Princess Changle's personal maid.

Changle took Jin'er away from the restaurant.

...

Zhuque Street, to the south is the Mingde Gate Chang'an entrance, to the north is the Zhuque Gate leading to the palace.

The palace, Lizheng Hall.

A gentle, virtuous, graceful and elegant woman was sitting cross-legged at the table with her head down, doing handmade needlework one stitch at a time.

This is the eternal virtuous queen praised by later generations: Empress Changsun!

"Guanyin Bi, Guanyin Bi!" The voice came before the person arrived.

When Empress Changsun heard the voice of someone coming, a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously.

Put down the needle and thread in her hand, stand up and prepare to greet.

A handsome middle-aged man with an upright posture and an imperial temperament walked in quickly.

Behind him was the old eunuch Wang Defa.

…

"Erlang!"

Empress Changsun stepped forward, smiled and shouted, and helped him sit down at the table.

"Guanyin, are you doing this needlework again? You should pay more attention to your health and don't work too hard."

Li Shimin looked at the needlework on the table and said with some blame and distress.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne through a coup, the Turks took advantage of the internal instability of the Tang Dynasty and suddenly led an army of 200,000 to attack Chang'an.

They forced Li Shimin to sign the Weishui Alliance and compensated a large amount of gold, silver and grain, which led to the emptiness of the treasury. Empress Changsun lived frugally to set an example for the harem, and often did some needlework and mending.

Empress Changsun took the tea brought by the maid, handed it to Li Shimin, and asked with a smile:

"Erlang, I am fine, what has upset you?"

Li Shimin took the tea and took a sip: "Hmph, it's all those good-for-nothings who ask me for money every day!"

Putting down the teacup, she snorted unhappily, and then sighed: "The spring ploughing season is approaching, and the lack of rain for more than a month will inevitably affect this year's harvest. It must be another disaster year!"

"Guanyin maid, now the treasury is empty and natural disasters continue. It is rumored that this is a punishment from God because I did not get the throne legitimately."

Li Shimin's imperial majesty was completely restrained, and his eyes were fixed on Empress Changsun, as if he was eager to get her comfort.

Empress Changsun looked at her husband affectionately, with a gentle and virtuous smile:

"There are unexpected events in the world, how can it be different for different people? Your Majesty, please do not listen to rumors and add to your troubles."

Li Shimin nodded slightly, and his expression was much more relaxed: "Guanyin, Lizhi hasn't returned to the palace yet? Where are Zhinu and Mingda?"

Empress Changsun was about to speak when she heard a shout from outside

"Mother, mother..."

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun smiled at each other:

"Erlang, Changle has inherited your majesty's genes. Every time she doesn't see anyone, she shouts and screams!"

Empress Changsun smiled and covered her mouth.

Li Shimin waved his hand proudly: "Of course my daughter looks like me, hahaha!"

At this moment, Li Shimin seemed to have suddenly thrown away all the troubles of the day.

"Mother, I'm back, and Aye is here too!"

Princess Changle ran into the hall and saw Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looking at her with a smile.

Walked towards Empress Changsun and hugged her arms with both hands.

A little while, longLe let go of Empress Changsun and came to Li Shimin, saying with a worried look on her face:

"Aye, the restaurant business has not been good. The daily income is only 3 guan, and the income is not enough to cover the expenses."

She originally thought that opening a restaurant could help her father and mother reduce their burden, but she never thought that things would go against her wishes. She couldn't understand why the imperial chefs in the palace were not as good as the chefs outside the palace?

Why is the restaurant business not as good as other restaurants?

Li Shimin certainly knew what his daughter was thinking, and smiled and comforted her:

"Lizhi, it doesn't matter whether the restaurant makes money or not. As long as you are happy, you don't need to worry about other things. Do you understand?"

Changle lowered her head and was very unwilling. She really wanted to make money to help Aye, even though she was always eccentric in the palace.

"But Aye..."

"Okay, Lizhi, Aye knows that you are sensible and want to help Aye, but you are still young, don't think too much." Li Shimin interrupted Princess Changle.

Li Shimin glanced at Wang Defa and said:

"Old man, go and tell the crown prince and the King of Wei to come to Lizheng Hall for dinner together"

"Yes"

Empress Changsun said to the palace maid: "Go to the Imperial Garden to find Zhinu and Mingda"

...

"Mother, mother, Guoguo bullied me again, I don't want to play with you!" A little girl's unclear voice came from outside the hall.

She skillfully climbed over the threshold and saw Princess Changle, her eyes lit up.

She ran to Princess Changle, hugged her legs and feet, raised her head and said:

"Sister, sister, Guoguo bullied me, sister, beat him, beat him!"

A little boy outside the door was about to cross the threshold, and when he heard the little girl's complaint, he immediately wanted to retract his foot.

"Zhinu, come in!"

Changle looked outside the hall and ordered.

The little boy shrank his head, walked quickly into the hall and ran towards Princess Changle.

He looked at Princess Changle with a flattering look and was about to speak.

"Sister, it hurts! It hurts! It hurts!" The little boy was pulled so hard that his head tilted and he screamed.

Princess Changle was quick-witted and grabbed his ear and said fiercely:

"Little brat, you are bullying little Sizi again, right? Are you so bold?"

The little boy waved his hands and begged for mercy:

"No, no, I dare not!" Then he squinted at the little girl:

"Little Sizi, I will never play with you again!"

The little girl looked at him and said, "Humph, I won't play with you either!"

Changle let go of the little boy's ear and looked at him fiercely: "If you dare to bully little Sizi again, I will beat you until your butt is blooming!"

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at them with a smile, their eyes full of gentleness.

The little girl let go of Princess Changle, ran to Li Shimin's empress, climbed onto Li Shimin's lap, and said:

"Aye, I'm so hungry!"

The little girl Li Mingda, nickname: Xiao Si (sì) Zi is three years old, Li Zhi is six years old.
