Sister Yan was speechless, but her face was still cold: "This old slave doesn't know how to behave like a man."

Li Xuandu smiled and said: "It's nothing more than 'stand like a pine, sit like a bell, walk like the wind, and lie like a bow'. Except for me, all the servants are from famous families, and they have all learned etiquette. How about it, Kaisui, you Come out and teach us some manners for men."

Chen Kaisui took the order to go out, and Chen Kaisui passed on what he had learned.

Li Xuandu watched with gusto, and when he finished teaching, Li Xuandu said again: "Nurse Yan, how are we doing?"

Sister Yan finally showed some subtle expressions on her face that remained unchanged: "The nobles have done an excellent job."

Li Xuandu was also very happy: "Then mother, let us have a rest, everyone has been studying for so long, and we are a little tired."

"Your Highness, it's not the old servant who stopped you, it's just that your Majesty said that you should learn the rules as soon as possible," Sister Yan said with a straight face, "If your Majesty arrives suddenly and sees that the nobles have not learned the rules well, you will be angry for a while. what to do?"

Li Xuandu bit his lips, then looked up at the sky: "Then let's go in and study, the place is bright and warm."

"Your Highness, the old slave just said that studying outside is different from studying inside," said Sister Yan, "It's not a severe winter, it's not very cold."

Li Xuandu said: "Are you talking about the difference?"

Sister Yan said: "Some things can only be understood but not expressed in words."

"..." Li Xuandu said, "The wind is so strong and the sky is so cold, if it freezes us to death, can you bear it?"

Sister Yan was not afraid at all: "Your Highness just said that the nobles are all men. Men are strong and strong, how can they get sick because of the cold wind?"

Li Xuandu was so annoyed by her, he bit his lower lip and said nothing.

Sister Yan said: "Your nobles, please practice what you have just learned."

Wu Qi blinked her big watery eyes and asked, "Didn't you practice well? Why do you want to practice again?"

Liu Ying said: "You old servant girl, are you trying to make things difficult for us?"

Sister Yan said: "I don't dare, I just want to let the servants deepen their memory, so as not to be in a hurry when meeting His Majesty."

"Don't say "Your Majesty" and "Your Majesty" to oppress us," Shang Lanqiu's fiery personality had long since been unable to hold back. If Nangong Yuexi hadn't been stopping him, he would have said, "What are you capable of? Is it just relying on His Majesty to support you?"

Sister Yan stared at Shang Lanqiu with her eyes like hooks: "I dare not, please don't embarrass the old slave. The old slave came here at the emperor's order. If he can't complete the task assigned by His Majesty, not only will the old slave get off If you can't get involved, the nobles can't get rid of the relationship, and the old slave is also for the good of the nobles."

"You..." Shang Lanqiu was about to speak again, but was stopped by Nangong Yuexi.

Li Xuandu said: "Don't rush to learn the rules, sharpen the knife and cut firewood by mistake, I see that it will be noon soon, so let's rest for a while and then continue learning after eating. Alright, that's it. Good luck, hurry up and pour tea for the servants, let them have a rest." After speaking, as if she was afraid that Madam Yan would object, she hurriedly walked into the palace.

Wu Qu hurriedly followed, followed by Liu Yingshi, Shang Lanqiu, and the others.

Sister Yan looked at their background for a long time, and finally followed.

"Duofu, go ask the imperial dining room to make some soup for us to drink," Li Xuandu said, "Warm your body and replenish your nutrition."

Duofu asked, "What kind of soup does Your Highness want?"

"Whatever," Li Xuandu didn't know what kind of soup was in the palace, he suddenly looked at Yang Huaixu again, "Huaixu, is there anything you can't eat?"

Yang Huaixu said: "It's all fine."

Shen Mushang hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the Servant is weak, try not to eat cold food."

"Wrong," Li Xuandu said with a smile, "I want to be called by name."

Shen Mushang hurriedly said, "It's Huai Xu."

Li Xuandu smiled, and Nurse Yan stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, this is not in compliance with the rules, the servants have to call each other by title."

Li Xuandu ignored her, and continued to ask: "What about you? What kind of soup do you want?"

Those few people have no opinion.

Li Xuandu asked Duofu to go down and prepare.

Not long after, the lunch arrived. According to Li Xuandu's original order, the lunch this time was completely in line with personal taste, but the portion seemed to be much smaller.

No one spoke during the meal, Shang Lanqiu ate the fastest, and finished eating in a blink of an eye, feeling his stomach, not full.

Shang Lanqiu stood up and looked at Li Xuandu and said, "Your Highness, why is there so little lunch today? I'm not full yet."

Li Xuandu also felt less, and thought it was his own illusion.

Nangong Yuexi tugged at Shang Lanqiu's sleeve, Shang Lanqiu just pretended not to know.

Without waiting for Li Xuandu to reply, Madam Yan said: "It's the arrangement of this old slave. The nobles should maintain their posture. If you eat too much, you will get fat."

Li Xuandu: "..."

Shang Lanqiu said angrily: "Could it be that you can serve as a servant to His Majesty, but you can't even eat a full stomach?"

He was so angry that he kicked over the small table in front of him.

Nangong Yuexi hurriedly stood up to drag him, and whispered in his ear: "Why are you so impulsive, don't cause trouble anymore."

Shang Lanqiu shouted angrily: "Let me go!"

Nangong Yuexi didn't let go, and kept tugging on him.

Li Xuandu came down from the main seat, Nangong Yuexi hurriedly pulled Shang Lanqiu to kneel down: "Please forgive me, Your Highness the Queen."

"Get up," Li Xuandu bent down to help them, then looked at Yan Yanmao and sternly said, "Kneel down!" At this moment, Li Xuandu felt that he was very courageous.

Nurse Yan had to kneel down, Li Xuandu said: "You are so courageous, you dare to withhold the rations of my palace and servants?"

There was no fear on Yan Yan's face: "This old slave was wronged, and this old slave is also thinking of the nobles."

"You mean that I don't know how to flatter you?" Li Xuandu asked back.

Sister Yan said: "This old slave has no such intention."

"No such intention?" Li Xuandu sneered, "I think that's what you mean. I am the head of the harem, and it's not your turn to be the master."

There was a tinge of threat in Madam Yan's words: "This old slave serves His Majesty..."

"Don't use Your Majesty to oppress me!" Li Xuandu was not afraid at all, he said "I want to know the previous situation", the emperor never asked about the affairs of the harem, and this is also a matter of the harem, so the emperor would not ask at all, this is his boss .But Li Xuandu couldn't do anything to Nanny Yan. After all, the emperor sent them to teach them the rules, so he must have some status in the palace. He is new here and has no background, so it is not easy to go too far.

It's fine to scare me, Li Xuandu continued: "Let's forget it this time, and I will never let you off lightly next time. You have to remember, I have the final say on this harem."

Li Xuandu asked someone to go to the imperial dining room to bring some more food, and if there was no more food, he would make it again.

Not long after, the little palace lady sent back, said that the people in the imperial dining room said that the time had passed and there was no more food.

Li Xuandu frowned: "No more? Don't you have any now?"

The little palace lady replied: "The ingredients are not enough, and the people who bought them have not returned yet."

Is this intentional, to bully him as a commoner queen, Li Xuandu asked again: "Is there no dessert?"

The little maid replied: "We have to wait for the dessert, at least an hour or so."

Li Xuandu was short of breath, now it is not suitable to go to the imperial dining room to ask for an explanation, he must act calmly, knowing oneself and the enemy can win every battle.

"Duofu," Li Xuandu looked at Duofu again and asked, "I remember you said that there is a small kitchen in the palace?"

Duofu replied: "If you go back to His Highness, yes."

Li Xuandu looked at the crowd: "Do you want to eat what I cook for you?"

Wu Xi blinked her starry eyes: "Your Highness, brother can also cook?"

"Of course, I was selling buns before." Li Xuandu smiled, he never hides his identity.First of all, he still thinks of modern people, and he doesn't think that bun sellers are inferior to them.Secondly, people are curious about secrets, and his life experience is the best secret for these people. Instead of waiting for them to explore by themselves, it is better to tell them openly.

Wu Qi was very interested: "I want to eat, I want to eat."

Shang Lanqiu didn't have enough to eat, so she naturally agreed: "I want to eat too."

Yang Huaixu was weak and didn't eat much at first, but when he heard that Li Xuandu was going to cook, he was a little moved: "I want to eat too."

"Okay, then let's cook!" Li Xuandu waved his sleeves, followed by a group.

Sister Yan shouted from behind: "Your Highness, this is against the rules."

But no one paid attention to her, and they all followed Li Xuandu in a hurry.

Even Yin Zheng pushed the wheelchair and followed.

When we got outside, Li Xuandu said: "I'll go by myself, you guys have a good rest at noon, maybe what will happen in the afternoon, I'll ask Duofu to arrange another place for you."

After some refusals, everyone followed Li Xuandu's wishes, but Wu Yu didn't follow them, and followed Li Xuandu.

On the way to the small kitchen, there was a tree of plum blossoms in full bloom. He suddenly remembered the blooming of the hairpin, and asked Duofu, "Can I pick one of these flowers?"

Duofu replied: "Your Highness, yes, all the things in the harem are under your control."

Li Xuandu was relieved, he chose the biggest and most beautiful flower and folded it.He held the hibiscus flower in his hand and said, "It's been freezing all morning, and the flowers on the flower head are a little wilted."

Wu Qi said, "Can I send it to brother Hua Chao?"

Li Xuandu gave him the plum blossom: "Go."

The crow held it carefully and walked quickly.

The small kitchen is actually not small, Li Xuandu went inside and asked what other ingredients were left, and the manager said that there were only some vegetables, noodles and eggs left.

Li Xuandu bit his lower lip, and asked Duofu to fetch the loops and roll up his sleeves so that he could do things more conveniently.

"Duo Fu, how many years has Yan Nanny been in the palace?" Li Xuandu asked Duo Fu to find out her bottom, so that it will be convenient for her to do things in the future.

"I heard it's been more than 30 years," Duofu replied. "She used to serve His Majesty, but after His Majesty ascended the throne, she no longer came to the harem, and she stayed in the harem. All the servants in this palace obey the discipline of Chief Xi, All the ladies and maids obey the discipline of Sister Yan."

Li Xuandu was speechless, he didn't expect her to be so powerful, he thought she was just a nun who was studying.

Just now Wu Qu came back here, looking very happy: "Brother Hua Chao is very happy, I helped him put the flowers on his head with my own hands."

He saw Li Xuandu filling the plate with noodles again, and curiously approached him and asked, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

"I'll make green vegetable noodles for you, and each of you will make a poached egg." Li Xuandu said, "Although it's simple, I'm not bragging. eat."

Wu Xun rubbed his stomach: "It sounds like I'm hungry."

Li Xuandu's hands and feet are very dexterous, and he quickly made up the noodles. He took the noodles out of the basin and put them on the table, and then used a rolling pin to roll them into a thin and large piece of noodles, and finally cut them finely with a knife. .

Li Xuandu asked the people in the small kitchen to light the pot, and after the people in the pot opened, he added some seasonings, and then put the cut noodles into it.

He stood in front of the pot and looked at it. When he felt that it was almost done, he asked someone to take it out and put it in 12 large bowls.

The aroma is tangy, and the whole small kitchen is filled with the smell of food.Li Xuandu and Wu Yu said as they walked out: "When we finish learning the rules, I will make buns for you to eat, just the kind I sold before. Let me tell you, as I said before, I don't put any meat. It's delicious."

Wu Qi was a little disbelieving: "Can steamed buns without meat be delicious? I always eat pure meat."

"It must be delicious," Li Xuandu said, "When I make it for you, I will make three kinds of buns, one is pure meat buns, the other is vegetarian stuffed buns, and the third is meat and vegetarian buns."

While speaking, he had come to the lobby, Hua Chao walked over first to thank Li Xuandu for picking the flower for him.

Shang Lanqiu sniffed her nose and said loudly: "It smells so good——"

Wu Qi immediately answered for Li Xuandu: "The green vegetable noodles made by Your Highness are also pretty in color, so they must be very delicious."

Thirteen bowls of noodles were placed, and everyone ate together, full of praise, Li Xuandu was both proud and a little embarrassed.

After eating the noodles and taking a nap for a while, he went to see Yanmao.

Li Xuandu looked outside and refused to go out no matter what, so he wanted to practice in the hall.

Mother Yan was naturally unwilling, so she came back to talk about the matter, saying that the concubines of all dynasties had learned the rules outside, if Li Xuandu refused to obey, it would be rebellion and disobedience, and she would report to the emperor.

Li Xuandu was really afraid of her, and after thinking about it for a few days, he gritted his teeth and swallowed it.

In the afternoon, it was still the routine of practicing in the morning, and Li Xuandu returned to his university military training period in a daze.

He stood under the cold wind, his body shivering with cold, tired and cold.

Suddenly he remembered Yang Huaixu who was standing with them. Yang Huaixu was weak and sick, and he might not be able to bear it under the cold wind. Thinking of this, Li Xuandu hurriedly said: "Mother, Huaixu is not in good health, you let him Rest for a while."

Yan Yan's face remained unchanged: "Your Highness, you said that the servants are all men. Are men afraid of the little sun? Can't even stand for a while? The old slave is a woman, and she is old. Aren't you just standing there like you?"

Li Xuandu said: "How dare you, a servant, be compared with Shijun?" He could see that this person was purely trying to torment them.A tyrant is worthy of being a tyrant, even his subordinates are so cruel.

Yang Huaixu's face was pale, his body was on the verge of falling, and he was almost unable to hold on anymore: "Your Highness, I'm fine, I just stood there for a while."

Li Xuandu wanted to speak again: "Look at your face..."

"My face has always been like this." Yang Huaixu managed to force a smile, "I'm really fine."

Li Xuandu had no choice but to do this first.But after a quarter of an hour, there was only a "thump".

Standing beside Yang Huaixu, Liu Yingshi and Wu Que exclaimed, "Huai Xu has fainted!"
