Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

After hearing this, Li Shimin was even more surprised: "This really kills two birds with one stone. When I return to the palace, I will definitely ask the people in the palace to study it carefully. If it can be produced in large quantities, it will also benefit the people."

Hearing this, Xiaoyu winked at Yuyu and whispered in her ear, "Yuyu, go to the space and get a mirror. Also, get two small porcelain bottles of soap, perfume, and shampoo. Hurry up."

Yu Yu nodded in understanding, and while no one was paying attention, he slipped away like a nimble little mouse.

She came to a hidden corner of the utility room, waved her little hand, and a magical space entrance appeared.

She walked in with ease. The room was filled with all kinds of novel items. She first picked up an exquisite mirror.

The frame of the mirror was inlaid with gems, which sparkled mysteriously in the dim light. The mirror surface was extremely smooth and could clearly reflect everything around it.

Then, Yuyu found the soap on the shelf: "This is the soap, I found it."

These soaps are made into various cute shapes, including flowers and small animals, and they also emit different scents.

She carefully picked two pieces, one with a rose scent and the other with a delicate orchid scent, and placed them in two small porcelain bottles respectively.

Then came the perfumes. Yu Yu picked out one with a rich fruity scent and one with a mixture of various floral scents.

She also put them into small porcelain bottles and covered them with lids to prevent the fragrance from leaking out.

Finally, it was shampoo. Yu Yu took two bottles of newly developed shampoo.

The shampoo was shaking in the small porcelain bottle, giving off a faint luster.

Yu Yu put all the small porcelain bottles into a small cloth bag, put it on her back, then quickly left the space and closed the entrance.

She trotted back to the backyard, where everyone was still talking about the wonders of perfume.

Yuyu ran to Xiaoyu and gently tugged at the corner of Xiaoyu's clothes. Xiaoyu understood and calmly took the cloth bag handed to her by Yuyu.

Xiaoyu smiled and said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, I have something good to show you."

Li Shimin asked curiously, "Oh? Are there any other new things?"

Xiaoyu took out the mirror from the bag and handed it to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, look at this mirror and see if you feel anything is different."

Li Shimin took the mirror and saw the gorgeous and clear mirror surface, with surprise in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, this soap is amazing. It not only cleanses the skin, but also leaves a charming fragrance." Xiaoyu said as she handed the soap to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the soap and sniffed it gently: "This fragrance is elegant and very pleasant. I have never seen such an exquisite soap before."

Before this, although Li Shimin was the emperor and had seen countless luxurious things, he had never looked at his own face so clearly.

He saw his face in the mirror, which bore the marks of time and hard work. There was dignity and a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

His eyebrows were still as straight as swords, showing his kingly aura.

Li Shimin fell into a brief contemplation. He didn't expect that this was what he saw in the mirror.

He has been busy with state affairs and concerned about the people of the world, but has little time to pay attention to himself.

This mirror was like a window, allowing him to see his true self hidden beneath the dragon robe and crown.

Yuyu tilted her head and said innocently, "Your Majesty is so handsome, just like the heroes in the stories."

Li Shimin came back to his senses after hearing this. He smiled and touched Yuyu's head: "Little girl, you have such a sweet mouth."

Xiaoyu continued, "This mirror will allow Your Majesty to see your appearance more clearly, which will be very useful both when tidying up your appearance and when examining yourself. Furthermore, this soap will leave Your Majesty feeling refreshed and fragrant after washing."

Li Shimin held the mirror and soap and said with emotion, "I have spent my life fighting and governing the country, but I had no idea that there were such wonderful things among the people. They can help me see myself from a different perspective. These things may be small, but they have a special meaning."

Cheng Chumo said from the side: "Your Majesty, there are many ingenious people and things among the people. This Zuixian Tower is a microcosm of this. These things also reflect the people's pursuit of quality of life."

Qin Huaidao also nodded and said: "Your Majesty, these novelties may be promoted in the palace, so that the people in the palace can also feel the wisdom of the people."

Li Shimin nodded slightly: "Today in Zuixian Tower, I have gained a lot. These seemingly ordinary items are of extraordinary value. I must study them carefully so that these good things can play a greater role."

Li Hao stepped forward and said respectfully to Li Shimin, "This soap and mirror are so wonderful, Your Majesty can take them back to the Queen."

"The Empress is the mother of the nation, diligently tending to the affairs of the harem. These items will surely please her and bring her a little more joy as she washes and dresses daily."

A smile flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he nodded, "You are a very thoughtful young man. The Queen works hard day and night to take care of the harem. She will definitely like these novel things."

As he spoke, he carefully examined the soap and mirror in his hands, as if he had already seen the queen's surprise when she saw these gifts.

"This soap has a unique fragrance and exquisite shape. The Queen has always loved these elegant items. This mirror is even more extraordinary. It can reflect the face clearly. The gems on the frame are very gorgeous, which complements the Queen's noble status." Li Shimin said as he gently stroked the gems on the mirror.

Xiaoyu also smiled and agreed: "Your Majesty, this soap and mirror are carefully made by us common people, and they contain our best wishes for Your Majesty and the Empress."

"If Her Majesty uses this soap, the delicate fragrance will surely accompany Her Majesty all day long, and the mirror will also make Her Majesty feel happy when using it."

Yuyu clapped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, after the Queen used the soap, she smelled as fragrant as a fairy. She must be very beautiful."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Li Shimin laughed even more heartily, "Little girl, you are the only one who can speak well. If the Queen knew that you praised her so much, she would definitely be very happy."

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Chumo and Qin Huai and asked, "What do you two think?"

Cheng Chumo replied, "Your Majesty, this gift is perfect for the Empress. It not only demonstrates your Majesty's love for her, but also allows her to appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship of the people."

Qin Huaidao also said: "Your Majesty, this soap and mirror can serve as a special token of friendship between Your Majesty and the Empress. It will also be a good story to recall in the future."

Li Shimin carefully put away the soap and mirror. "I will present these to the Queen when I return to the palace today. I hope your family will continue to work hard."

The Yuyu family responded in unison: "We will obey your Majesty's orders."
