Chapter 16 Dumplings

Chapter 16 Dumplings

Li Baiyao recalled the time when he and Zhang Yang sighed in perfect agreement on Zhuque Street. He said with emotion: "Like me, he has a heart that cares about the country and the people."

Li Tai shook his head and sighed, turning to leave.

Stepping forward to keep up with Li Tai, Li Baiyao said again: "Your Highness, King Wei, the Tang Dynasty has only been established for less than a hundred years. Now is not the time to be greedy for pleasure and arrogant."

Listening to Li Baiyao nagging in his ear, Li Tai impatiently got into the carriage and said to the coachman: "Go back."

The driver waved his whip and the carriage moved slowly.

Li Baiyao chased the carriage and said, "Your Highness, King Wei, everyone in the court is too proud now. We are far from the place where we can boast in the prosperous times."

The carriage gradually moved away, and Li Baiyao chased it for a while and stood there panting.

Sitting in the rickety carriage, Li Tai finally couldn't hear Li Baiyao's nagging.

Li Baiyao was originally a close minister sent by his father to Li Chengqian.

Li Tai didn't like to see a close minister of Li Chengqian, let alone Li Chengqian.

And Li Baiyao was not appreciated by Li Chengqian on weekdays.

The words could not be delivered to Li Shimin.

On the way home, Li Yue listened to Zhang Yang humming a tune.

This minor tune sounds light and pleasant.

I don’t know where the tune is from.

When the two came to the door of the house, Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang also came back.

Aunt Wang smiled and asked: "The young couple are going to Qujiang Pool to watch the river lanterns."

"Um."

Li Yue agreed and walked into the home.

It seemed that the young daughter-in-law was in a good mood. Zhang Yang looked to the other side and saw Aunt Yang sweeping the courtyard.

Aunt Yang usually doesn't talk much.

Aunt Wang doesn’t talk as much.

Li Yue came to her room and took out the two jade pendants that Zhang Yang had won.

He took out a small knife from the small box on the side.

Holding a knife, he carefully carves words on the jade pendant.

These two jade pendants look like a pair.

"Let's have some midnight snack tonight."

Hearing the voices behind him, Li Yue quickly covered his engraving and said, "Okay."

Zhang Yang said: "What do you want to eat?"

Li Yue thought for a while and said, "I want to eat noodles."

"Then let's pour oil on the noodles."

I saw Zhang Yang looking suspiciously at Li Yue, whose cheeks were red and flustered.

"I want to add shredded pork."

Li Yue added.

"knew."



After watching him walk out of his room, Li Yue took a deep breath and let go of the jade pendant again, and continued to engrave.

After finishing the carving, Li Yue looked happy but a little disappointed and looked up at the night sky outside the window.

I remember a group of royal doctors surrounding me when I was a child. Their eyes were full of helplessness, and they sighed while discussing.

In their words, they all said that the princess would not survive to adulthood.

Looking back now, Li Yue feels like there is a knife on his neck.

When I was a child, I didn't understand what those imperial doctors' words meant.

Now that I think about it, I always remind myself that I won’t live to be an adult.

"It's ready to eat."

Zhang Yang's words came from the yard.

Li Yue put the jade pendant into her secret box and walked out of the room.

Each person holds a bowl of fried noodles and eats it.

The moonlight is quite bright.

Just enough to see the expressions on each other's faces.

Looking at Zhang Yang's expression, Li Yue said: "What if I don't live long?"

Zhang Yang finished the noodles in the bowl and said, "It's just anemia. I don't think it's a big problem to cure it."

His tone was so firm.

He has been treated by many imperial doctors but can't do anything, as if it is really not a difficult problem for him.

Li Yue whispered: "I saw many doctors when I was a child, but none of them got better."

After speaking, Li Yue waited for Zhang Yang's reaction.

It was quiet for a while.

"I just think anemia is a very normal problem. Many people will be anemic when they are young, but as they grow up and slowly supplement their nutrition, many people will recover. Even in adulthood, the anemia will not be as serious as it was in childhood.

"

I didn't take any medicine during this period, I just ate some weird food on weekdays.

Li Yue felt that her situation was much better than before.

I finished eating the noodles in the bowl.

Zhang Yang returned to his room to plan his business plan.

There was a sound of water coming from Li Yue's room. It must be that the daughter-in-law was taking a bath.

After a while, Li Yue came out wearing a bath towel and said, "Is your bath towel too big?"

Zhang Yang looked back.

Under the candlelight, Li Yue's wet hair was still dripping with water.

The bath towel was wrapped around her chest. Because Li Yue was too thin, the bath towel was dragged directly to the ground.

By the way, at least put on clean clothes before you come out.

"..."

Noticing Zhang Yang's eyes, Li Yue returned to her room with evasive eyes, "I will change it myself tomorrow."

"Bang!"

The door was closed hard.

He thought to himself that he should avoid suspicion in front of his husband. Zhang Yang looked at his design drawing again. It's over! Now he has no more ideas.

Put down the pen in your hand.

I lay down on the bed and stretched out my limbs, still feeling comfortable in my own little nest.

A lot of dreams in one night.

Zhang Yang got up before dawn, and Li Yue was still asleep at this hour.

My little wife is getting more and more able to sleep now.

Aunt Wang also got up early to clean up her yard.

When making breakfast, Li Yue got up lazily.

Take a deep breath of fresh morning air.

Li Yue walked to the stove at home and watched Zhang Yang skillfully wrapping dumplings.

Rice noodles and meat looked particularly well-behaved in Zhang Yang's hands.

With his skillful movements, the dumplings stood on one side obediently.

Li Yue stood aside and watched quietly, learning from his master.

After a while, the water in the pot also boiled.

Dumplings are being put into the pot one after another.

Zhang Yang closed the lid and said, "It will be ready to eat in a while."

Soon the hot dumplings will be out of the pan.

Li Yue sat at the table and picked up a dumpling with chopsticks to eat. The dumpling was stuffed with pork and added some unknown wild vegetables.

After taking a bite of the dumpling, Li Yue felt that her internal organs were warm, and she let out a sigh of relief.

"tasty!"

While eating, Li Yue thought about Zhang Yang's technique of making dumplings.
