4. The emperor summoned

When the news that the emperor was about to summon Jing Wen reached the imperial kitchen, everyone was shocked. The emperor summoned a chef, which was a rare news in the ages. Although it was not completely gone, it was surprising enough. It was not a waste of time for a gentleman to stay away from the kitchen. Even a gentleman must stay away from the kitchen, let alone the emperor? Now that the emperor summoned a chef, this is too surprising.

"Xiaowen, you have to dress up later. When you meet the emperor, you must abide by etiquette and not be disrespectful. Also, when the emperor does not ask you to raise your head, you must not raise your head, otherwise you will still be disrespectful. There are many rules in the palace, but you may not be familiar with it. I used to let you live outside the palace, which may have caused you to be unfamiliar with the rules in the palace. But since the emperor summons you now, you must be careful and not offend the emperor. We, the people in the palace, have any future, wealth, and life, are tied to the emperor's every move, words and deeds. We must be careful!" Master Hu reminded.

Jing Wen quickly dressed up himself and asked Master Hu, "Master, how many times have you seen the Emperor?"

Master Hu couldn't help but sigh and said, "I have only seen the Supreme Emperor when I was still the one who stayed in Taiyuan at that time, and I have never seen it specifically. The most recent time was two years ago. Even the one who asked me to be the master of the imperial kitchen was just a eunuch who came to inform me. After that, I have never seen the emperor again. Today's emperor, the King of Qin, I have never seen it once. But I don't know what luck you have gone, but I actually got the emperor summoned him in person. I have been a chef for half my life, and I have never had such a chance!"

"The emperor has ordered that the chef who made new noodles go to the noodle saint." An eunuch came over and said.

Jing Wen immediately sorted out his clothes and followed the eunuch in a look of a figure. Jing Wen didn't dare to look up at all, and he walked on the ground. Jing Wen didn't know the rules in the palace, so he was very careful and did not dare to take too much steps. He learned all of this from the Qing Dynasty braid show, but obviously the eunuch did not correct him.

"The emperor has an order, Xuan the imperial chef will come in." said another eunuch in Liangyi Hall.

Jing Wen lowered his head and walked into Liangyi Hall. He faintly saw a young man on a table in the center of Liangyi Hall. Jing Wen immediately knelt down and then knocked three times in a row. Then, Jing Wen repeated twice to complete the etiquette of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.

"Long live my emperor!" Jing Wen shouted immediately.

When Li Shimin saw this situation, his brows frowned a little.

"You are the chef who makes that kind of fried noodles? Why are you still shouting long live here? This is not a major ceremony, so don't shout long live here. Also, what's wrong with you just knelt for me? Three kneelings and nine knelts are for ghosts and gods in my Tang Dynasty. What do you mean to me with three kneelings and nine knelts?" Li Shimin asked unkindly.

Jing Wen was almost stunned. He originally knelt three times and kowtowed the emperor three times and kowtowed the mountain. But after hearing Li Shimin's statement, it seemed that things were not like this at all. The so-called long live the mountain is an etiquette that can only be used in a big ceremony, and kowtowed the three times and kowtowed the nine times, which is used for ghosts and gods.

Jing Wen couldn't help but scold the TV series for killing people. It's really a scam! If the mountain shouts long live, it can still be forgiven, but if the emperor uses the etiquette of ghosts and gods, there is a problem. What is the ghost? That is the dead ancestor. But Jing Wen actually uses the etiquette of ghosts and gods to Li Shimin. Isn't this mean that Li Shimin is a ghost? In this way, isn't it just cursing Li Shimin to become a ghost?

Jing Wen had a cold sweat on his forehead. He was quickly thinking about how to make this happen, otherwise it would be enough to lose his head if it was serious.

"Emperor, my respect for you is comparable to that of a god. Your Majesty, you have led my Tang army, cleared the world, and gave the people a peaceful China. You are the patron saint of my Tang people. Since the emperor is the patron saint of the Tang people, I am grateful to the emperor for the people. In our eyes, the emperor is no different from the gods, so I was excited for a moment and used the etiquette to the gods to salute. Please forgive me!" Jing Wen said immediately.

Jing Wen lowered his head for a long time, but Li Shimin didn't answer a word, making Jing Wen seem to be under the judgment of fate. However, after a long time, Li Shimin finally spoke.

"Hahahaha, you cook can speak!" Li Shimin said.

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Jing Wen's heart returned to his stomach. He knew that Li Shimin would not care about this. The so-called "Wearing in a thousand ways" is not flattering. Jing Wen flattered Li Shimin, which of course made Li Shimin very comfortable, so he didn't care about Jing Wen's etiquette of using three kneelings and nine kowtows on him.

"Okay, get up! You don't have to kneel three times and kowtow nine times in the future, nor do you have to shout long live the mountain. Now it's just a normal day, not a big ceremony." Li Shimin said.

Jing Wen got up quickly, but he still didn't dare to look up because Li Shimin did not let him look up.

"Raise your head and I'll see you!" said Li Shimin.

Jing Wen raised his head and finally saw this Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin for the first time. Li Shimin is only twenty-seven years old now. If he was still a young man in his later generations, Li Shimin was still a little handsome. If he was in his later generations, he would be a rich and powerful handsome man. I am afraid that countless women would be willing to marry him.

"I didn't expect that the chef who made such delicious noodles was actually a young man who was just a twentieth?" Li Shimin also asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, this is just a chance. I usually like to think about something unrealistic out of thin air, but I didn't expect it to be really useful." Jing Wen said modestly.

"Haha, then I will become your test subject?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I dare not!" Jing Wen said immediately.

"Haha, I don't mean to blame you. Your noodles are really delicious! I feel that my appetite has increased, which has made me feel much better! This is also the reason why I summoned you, the chef." Li Shimin said rarely.

"It is my duty to be able to make a good thing that will make the emperor feel excited. Since I am an imperial chef, this is what I should do." Jing Wen said modestly.

Li Shimin suddenly said: "Since you have done it and I am in a very good mood, I plan to reward you. What do you want? As long as it is not excessive, I can give it to you!"
