"See you, empress." Sun Simiao took Chen Jingke and others out to greet her.
Changsun Wugou said with a grateful face: "Master Sun, don't be too polite. You are my savior, so I should thank you."
Then he looked at Chen Jingke and asked, "What did you call me?"
Chen Jingke touched his nose. Although he was a little helpless, he felt very relieved and said: "Aunt."
Changsun Wugou immediately laughed, came over and touched his head and said, "Good boy, is this right?"
Aunt? The uninformed people around looked at Chen Jingke and their eyes suddenly changed. This is a relative of the emperor.
Judging from the Queen's attitude towards him, he must be very favored and must have a good relationship with him in the future.
Changsun Wugou wanted this kind of effect, so he added another note: "Ying'er, haven't you been shouting to find your brother? Why don't you dare to speak when we meet."
Everyone's eyes turned to Chengyang Princess Li Xiuying behind her. The little girl was holding a small food box in her hand and said coyly: "Hello, brother, I... I'm here to give you sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
Apparently she had been warned and did not say why she came to deliver the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Chen Jingke was stunned for a moment before he remembered yesterday's agreement. It was hard for her to remember it at such a young age, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, princess, I happen to be hungry."
The eldest grandson Wugou reminded from the side: "What princess? She is a sister, the second lady."
The Tang Dynasty was one of the most intense eras of national and cultural integration. Taking the various names as an example, it seems particularly complicated.
For example, "brother" can be used to address both father and elder brother. When sorting brothers, some families arrange the concubines together, while others do not.
Princess Chengyang ranks sixteenth among all the princesses, but she is the second daughter, so she can be called the sixteenth mother or the second daughter.
Chen Jingke probably guessed Changsun Wugou's plan, which was to establish a close relationship with him.
He was also the beneficiary of this, so he didn't object and happily changed his name to Er Niangzi. Naturally, everyone was happy.
Then everyone came to the main hall to talk about things. After preparing tea, Xiangxue really wisely left with his men.
Changsun Wugao and Sun Simiao came to the side to check their pulse and check their condition. This was what Chen Jingke told her to come and check her condition once a day to gain experience for Sun Simiao.
At the same time, it also allowed Sun Simiao to accurately grasp her condition and prepare for subsequent treatment.
Princess Chengyang tried her best to put the snack box on the table, opened the lid and took out a small plate of five sweet-scented osmanthus cakes.
"Eat it quickly, it's delicious."
"Thank you." Chen Jingke picked up a piece and took a bite, his eyes immediately lit up. It was unexpectedly delicious, and it felt like it melted in your mouth.
"Is it delicious?" Princess Chengyang asked.
Chen Jingke nodded and was about to say something when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked down and saw that the little girl was looking at him longingly...the osmanthus cake in his hand.
He was a little dumbfounded. This child really liked the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. He pushed the plate towards her and said, "It's delicious. You can eat it too."
Princess Chengyang tried very hard to move her eyes away from the sweet-scented osmanthus cake: "No, this is for you, I can't eat it."
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "Being a human being requires loyalty, and good things should be shared with good friends. There will be no good end if you eat alone. You don't want me to be a person who doesn't have loyalty and will have no good end, right?"
Princess Chengyang's little head shook like a rattle: "I don't want to."
Chen Jingke pushed the plate again and said: "Then eat, there are four left, let's take two each."
Princess Chengyang glanced at Changsun Wugou quietly, and when she saw that she didn't notice, she nodded sharply: "Okay."
Little did they know that the conversation between the two had been heard word by word by Changsun Wugou. This situation was exactly what she liked to see, so how could she come out to stir up trouble.
It's not that she wants to bring Chen Jingke and Princess Chengyang together, but that this interaction can increase Chen Jingke's feelings for the royal family.
So two people, one big and one small, started to share four sweet-scented osmanthus cakes.
Princess Chengyang quickly grabbed an osmanthus cake and stuffed it into her mouth until her cheeks were so bulging that she could no longer stuff it in. However, her big round eyes looked at Chen Jingke next to her with vigilance.
Chen Jingke was confused at first, but after he figured out what was going on, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Eat slowly, I won't compete with you... I'll give you both."
Princess Chengyang was a little embarrassed when her little secret was exposed, but she simply stopped pretending, stretched out her free hand to grab another sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and then pushed the plate in front of Chen Jingke.
Chen Jingke couldn't help but laugh. The little princess remembered the loyalty clearly, but thinking about what this person did in the original history, it felt normal.
According to historical records, the Princess of Chengyang was not very smart. She hated others and did not know how to use force to suppress them. Instead, she learned to make straw men and curse others to vent her anger. As a result, the incident was reported to Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty.
The art of being tired of winning was a capital offense in ancient times. Li Zhi took great care of his half-sister, and then he pulled his brother-in-law out to take the blame and had him banished.
Princess Chengyang also knew that she had done something stupid. She did not make excuses for herself, nor did she choose to divorce to save herself. Instead, she packed her luggage and went to the exile place with her husband, where she never returned until her death.
Although my brain is a bit weak, I can still be considered responsible and have shared the blessings and hardships together.
As the saying goes, look at the big from the small. Looking at the current situation, she has been loyal since she was a child.
After eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and drinking some tea, Chen Jingke wanted to ask about the queen's condition, but before he could get up, he saw Princess Chengyang tugging on his sleeve.
He asked curiously: "What's wrong, Second Lady?"
Princess Chengyang blinked her big black and white eyes and answered the question: "Is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake delicious?"
Chen Jingke said honestly: "It's delicious. This is the most delicious pastry I have ever eaten."
It's no exaggeration at all, including his previous life, this is indeed the most delicious pastry he has ever tasted.
A proud smile appeared on Princess Chengyang's face, but she immediately restrained herself and pretended to be serious: "Then tell me the story of Sun Monkey. I will treat you to sweet-scented osmanthus cake every day."
Chen Jingke was a little dumbfounded, and the co-author was waiting here. However, he did not refuse, but said: "Okay, I will tell you about it every time I finish writing an article."
Princess Chengyang said happily: "Okay, okay, let's start."
"Um..." Chen Jingke didn't know what to do. The Queen was still here for medical treatment, so it seemed not suitable for telling stories.
Changsun Wugou said at the right time: "I also heard Ying'er tell the story of the riot in heaven this morning. I am very curious about what happened next. Jing Ke might as well tell the story."
This was another purpose of her coming here, to get the complete Journey to the West. As a queen who fought through iron and blood together with Li Shimin, her political sense was not weak, and she was very clear about the benefits brought by the confluence of Buddhism and Taoism.
What else could Chen Jingke say? He coughed and cleared his throat to start a new story: "Let's say that Sun Wukong was suppressed by God Haotian and was suppressed at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain. Unknowingly, five hundred years have passed..."
