    At this time, Xiao Yourong made way for the cook who was following behind him. The scales of the river fish in the cook's hands shone in the afternoon sun.

    Li Zhi took a look at this fish, and it should be carp. Some people may think that carp sounds the same as Li, and the Tang Dynasty has the surname Li, so there are some taboos against carp.

    And some miscellaneous books and records of the Tang Dynasty also have records that carp was not eaten in the Tang Dynasty.

    But being in the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi understood that there were no such boring taboos in the Tang Dynasty.

    If nothing else, the most popular poem in the Tang Dynasty was Tang poetry, which contains many poems about cooking carp.

    Wang Wei's "Daughter's Journey to Luoyang": "The good man Yule rides on a horse, and the maid has a golden plate with carps."

    Bai Juyi's "A Boat Trip on the Road to Jiangzhou": "There is a stove on the bow of the boat, cooking rice and cooking red carp."

    These poems clearly state that eating carp was a common thing in the Tang Dynasty. There is no vague description in the poems, let alone any cover-ups or taboos.

    On the other hand, the most famous record about people in the Tang Dynasty not eating carp is the collection of notes and novels "Youyang Zazu" written by Duan Chengshi.

    And I¡¯m afraid that no one in future generations will read this collection of novels!

    The Tang Dynasty poetry that has been passed down to later generations has never recorded that Tang people did not eat carp, and the description of cooking carp is very simple and straightforward, without any modification, which is enough to show that some people are afraid of taking it out of context and writing books based only on their own imagination.

    Moreover, Li Zhi has been in the Tang Dynasty for some time, and the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty has always been tolerant and open. With his father's style of behavior, he will definitely not be like the Ming and Qing Dynasties, who took meanings from words, misinterpreted them and created literary inquisition.

    ????????? Not to mention anything else, the word "Minbu" among the six parts coincides with the word "people" in the name of my father Shimin. My father just said that as long as the two words "shimin" are not used together, there is no need to avoid the taboo.

    In such an enlightened and prosperous age, how could people in the world stop eating carp just because carp has the same pronunciation with the surname Li.

    At this time, Li Zhi saw the two carps that the cook was holding, and naturally Queen Changsun also saw them. Seeing the fat and alive carps, Queen Changsun just smiled.

    "Yourong, you also brought this Weishui carp from home."

    "Mother, can you tell that this is a carp from the Weishui River?"

    "I can still divide these things."

    "It doesn't work if you have a capacity. Let alone a certain type of fish in the water. Even if there are two different types of fish, you can't tell them apart."

    Empress Changsun just smiled. She was very careful in distinguishing the same kind of fish produced in two waters. She could only distinguish them in very subtle ways. It was normal for Xiao Yourong not to be able to tell the difference.

    ¡°I¡¯m just waiting for the fish cakes made by the cook of the Xiao family.¡±

    The cook there was carrying carp and asked where the kitchen was. A maid took it with her. Li Zhi suddenly stopped the cook.

    "Wait a minute, I want the cook in Zhuyuan to learn how to make fish cakes from you, is that okay?"

    "Your Highness, this is certainly possible."

    "Yihong, call the cook from Zhuyuan here and let her learn from the Xiao family cook. From now on, Zhuyuan can also make fish cakes, and she can also teach the people in the Palace Food Bureau how to make them.  "

    Yihong responded and went to Zhuyuan to summon someone.

    The cook there has already taken the carp to the kitchen to slaughter it, so Li Zhi and Xiao Yourong will not look at it.

    A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, but actually stays away from killing animals.  This scene of slaughtering a live fish was something that the Prince of Jin and the Xiao family would never come close to.

    At this time, Yihong, who was accompanying her mother, had already led the two cooks into the bamboo garden, and walked towards the small bamboo garden kitchen.

    At this time, on the main road leading to Chang'an, a carriage was slowly moving forward, escorted by a group of cavalry.

    In the carriage, a young man was carefully beating the calf of a beautiful and dignified lady next to him. The lady kicked off her boots, and the man carefully rubbed her feet.

    "Little belly, I will return to Chang'an in a while. You go back to the Du family first. I want to go to the palace to see my mother and the emperor's brother and sister."

    "Your Highness, you always call me "little belly", which is too unpleasant."

    "What's wrong? You're not happy with being called a little belly. Isn't your belly small?"

    The woman didn¡¯t hold back. She patted the man¡¯s belly twice and even took off his clothes to see the white part of his belly.

    The man was not angry, but he carefully rubbed the woman's feet.  In fact, I just walked for a while, but His Highness kept saying that his feet hurt.

    At this time, this woman is naturally the second daughter of Empress Changsun for the current emperor, the only fourteen-year-old Princess Chengyang, and this man is Du He, the second son of Du Ruhui, the late prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

    Taizong has always missed Du RuhuiI never forget that although Du Ruhui has been dead for more than ten years, Taizong's favor towards the Du family has continued.

    It is a great favor to marry the daughter of yourself and Empress Changsun to the Du family.

    At this time, Du He served Princess Chengyang with all his heart, even though Princess Chengyang was only fourteen years old after all, and sometimes she still had the mentality of a child.

    His surname is Du, and he does not have the common drunkenness of those dandy boys. This time when Princess Chengyang went out to play with him, she gave him the name "Little Belly". For those who didn't know, she thought he was the little one next to the princess.  Where is the eunuch!

    Du He protested several times. At this time, the princess's scream went smoothly and she was not willing to change.

    Du He had no choice but to admit it, and let his belly be small!

    When the carriage entered Chang'an City, Du He and Princess Chengyang separated. He wanted to go back to the Du family, while His Highness wanted to go back to the palace.

    As soon as the two separated, a group of palace people arrived in front of the princess's carriage.

    "My slave, please pay homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

    "Get up quickly. Did the Queen Mother want you to come here to welcome me?"

    "Your Highness the Princess, your Majesty is not in the palace at this time and is living in the Bamboo Garden."

    "Bamboo Garden, I remember that Bamboo Garden is not a royal property. Why does the Queen Mother live there?"

    "Your Highness, Princess Yuzhang, is recuperating in the Bamboo Garden, and your Majesty went to the Bamboo Garden to accompany her."

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with my royal sister?¡±

    "This slave doesn't know either!"

    "Hurry, go to the Bamboo Garden quickly."

    The wheels of the carriage rolled over the Chang'an road and were already galloping towards the Bamboo Garden. Princess Chengyang was eager at this time and urged the carriage several times.

    When they arrived at the entrance of the Bamboo Garden, Princess Chengyang and her maid broke into the Bamboo Garden. At this time, the maid and guard here hurriedly stopped her.  The princess in the palace rarely goes out on weekdays, so she doesn't know anyone outside the palace.

    "Get out of the way quickly, I want to see my mother!"

    After hearing that Princess Chengyang wanted to see her mother, the guard maid in Zhuyuan naturally knew the identity of the person in front of her and immediately knelt down and worshiped.

    "Your Highness, the empress is not here, she is over there in the Xiaozhuyuan."

    "Little Bamboo Garden, when did there be a Little Bamboo Garden in Chang'an City? Why didn't I know about it?"

    "Your Highness the Princess, this is a garden just opened by Zhuyuan!"

    The maid had just answered, and Cui Yan happened to be walking here. Seeing the situation at the door, she had already guessed something. When she saw Princess Chengyang, she already knew her identity. At this time, she took a few steps and rushed over.

    "Are you Princess Chengyang?"

    "Who are you?"

    "Cui Yan has met Her Highness Princess Chengyang. Her Highness must want to see the empress. Cui Yan will take Her Highness there." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
