Chapter 16: Lee 2 Questioning

The elegant room on the fourth floor of Zuixianlou.

Cheng Chu silently saw Li Chengqian and his sister leaving, hesitated, bumped

Li Zexuan's arm, and said:

"Xiao Xuan, do you really know the identity of Li Gaoming?"

Li Zexuan shook his head, hesitatingly said:

"I don't know, if they don't tell me, I don't want to take the initiative to

ask, but depending on the temperament of his brother and sister, it should

come from the official family."

Cheng Chumo also admired his observation power a little, and leaned in and

said softly:

"Hey, it's not just a family of officials, Li Gaoming is the current prince,

and Li Lizhi is the princess of Changle who is most beloved by his majesty

today."

Li Zexuan was surprised:

"Huh? Isn't the current prince Li Chengqian?"

"You are stupid, Prince Li Chengqian, with brilliant words, don't you know

this?" Cheng Chu was speechless.

Uh, I was even despised by this illiterate rammer. To blame, I chose

engineering. I only know that the crown prince is Li Chengqian. Who knows his

words?

Cheng Chumo is a little worried and authentic:

"Xiao Xuan, you have to think about it. This royal matter is not as simple as

you think. The water inside is deep. It is best not to have a close friendship

with the prince. My father told me to stay away from the prince and the king.

Some, the attitude towards them is that they are not guilty or attached.

Moreover, your Majesty is still in his prime, and it is not good for your

current future if you are too close with Prince Wei and others."

Li Zexuan was a little touched. Cheng Chumo was able to say these things to

him to prove that he truly regarded himself as a friend and a brother. He

smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Brother Ugly, don’t worry. I have been practicing in the mountains with

Master for eight years, my little brother. I have long been bearish on these

fame and gains. This time I am out of the mountain, I have no intention of

career. I just want to be a rich man at home, accompany my parents, and amuse

Lan Son, or accompany Brother Chou Niu to drink and drink, and when you are

tired of staying at home, you will go to the smiling arrogant rivers and lakes

to find a confidant. Life like this is not beautiful."

Cheng Chumo also admires his open-mindedness, but he can't live a life like

this. He is the kind of temperament that can't be idle, and it's more

uncomfortable for him to stay at home than to kill him.

"Since Xiaoxuan, you already know how powerful it is, I won't say more about

brother."

Li Zexuan nodded and said:

"I still want to thank Brother Chou Niu for reminding me. If the prince always

treats me like this, I will naturally treat him as a brother. If he is

imaginary and wants to use me to achieve his own goals, it doesn't matter if

he doesn't make friends like this."

Although Li Zexuan knew that Li Chengqian had a violent temperament and

extravagant temperament in history, and finally defeated in the rebellion, at

least the current Li Chengqian is still a humble and polite boy. Although he

does not know why he became like this later, maybe he can be rescued. .

Lan'er heard what he said, and her mouth grew in surprise:

"Wow, it turns out that Sister Lizhi is a princess. Brother, isn't the

princess a very big official?"

Li Zexuan touched Lan'er's head a little funny:

"Well, the princess is indeed a very big official. In the entire Tang Dynasty,

I am afraid of the emperor. Does Lan'er want to be a princess too?"

Lan'er frowned and thought for a while before she said:

"Lan'er doesn't want to be a princess, Lan'er just wants to be her brother's

sister."

Li Zexuan laughed, this girl didn't hurt in vain.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin was reading a memorial, but a smile appeared on the corner of his

mouth after reading the memorial. At this time, the beautiful woman in a

palace costume brought a bowl of lotus porridge, moved the lotus step lightly,

and the money came to Li Shimin's side. Seeing that Li Shimin was in a good

mood, she asked with a smile:

"Your Majesty is so happy."

Li Er embraced the beautiful women in palace costumes, handed the memorial to

her, and smiled:

"This is a good news from Jingde from Youzhou. Take a look at Guanyin and

maidservant. Luo Yi rebelled under Youzhou in the first month of this year.

Your brother and Jingde have put down their rebellion in less than two months.

I have these capable ministers, why? I'm worried about the unhappy Tang

Dynasty, haha!"

Seeing Li Er happy, the eldest queen also smiled:

"That's all that Erlang knows about people, Erlang, you have watched the

memorial for so long, and you should rest. This is the lotus porridge made by

the concubine. Erlang taste it."

At this moment, a servant hurried in and bowed to Li Er and the Queen:

"Your Majesty, Empress, Your Royal Highness and Princess Changle are waiting

outside the hall."

Li Er said to the queen strangely: "These two children have not been able to

find anyone in the palace recently, and they finally came to see me today."

said to the little servant again: "Let them in quickly."

After a while, Li Chengqian and his sister entered the hall, and bowed to Li

Er and the queen, saying, "The sons and ministers greet the father and the

queen!"

"Well, no gift, Changle, come to the side of the father and the queen."

Li Er beckoned to Changle. He loved the eldest daughter very much. When

Changle was born, Li Er regarded it as the jewel in his palm and named Li

Lizhi. The history books also praised Princess Changle very much, praising him

as "Jiao Ruo". The night moon shines in Qionglin, and it is rotten like the

morning glow of Zhupu”.

Li Er saw the food box mentioned in Li Chengqian's hand, and curiously asked:

"Chengqian, what is in your hand?"

Li Chengqian hurriedly bowed and said, "Going back to the emperor, this is a

delicacy that Erchen and Sister Changle encountered in a restaurant in Xishi

today. The price of this item is consistent, and only 200 copies per day are

sold. Many people But he was eager. When Erchen went there, there was already

a long line in front of the restaurant. These were two copies obtained by a

friend whom he had just met. Seeing that his father seemed to have a bad

appetite recently, Erchen wanted to take it. Come and give it to the father

and the queen."

Li Er and the eldest grandson looked at each other and smiled with relief. Li

Erdao: "It's rare to inherit your filial piety. When you say that, I am a

little curious about the magic of this food. The price is so expensive that so

many people are eager for it. Zhao Song, you go and present the food box."

An old ** bowed and led the order behind Li Er.

At this time, Chang Le, who was next to Empress Changsun, also smiled at Li

Er: "Father, the cooking method of this food is indeed quite peculiar. I have

tasted it, and it is delicious. I met Lu Guo in the restaurant. Cheng Chumo of

the public house, he ate 16 servings by himself."

can't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

Changle didn't know it. Not long after they left, Cheng Chumo almost ate

twenty portions.

At this time, Zhao Song put on the food box and was about to go for a drug

test. Li Er waved his hand to stop him: "No need, will Cheng Qian still harm

me?"

After speaking, he looked at the food box, and saw pieces of golden and tender

chicken lined up on the plate, bursts of burnt and crisp chicken scent

bursting into his nostrils, Li Er couldn't help his appetite, pick up a piece

of chicken and put it into his mouth. , The burnt aroma of eggs and starch,

mixed with the tenderness of chicken.

Li Er couldn't help but slap his lips, and exclaimed: "Well, this thing is

really delicious, Guanyin Maid, you can try it too. The crispy fried chicken

nuggets, and the lotus seed porridge made by the queen later, is not greasy.

Really Let my appetite open up."

The grandson saw that the emperor finally had an appetite, he was also happy

in his heart. He clipped a piece and tasted it. It was indeed quite peculiar.

In the future, you can let the imperial chef give it a try and see if you can

make it. The eldest grandson was not a greedy person, so he put down his

chopsticks after eating two yuan. It was rare that Li Er had an appetite, so

he left the rest to the emperor.

The queen turned her head, looked at Li Chengqian and asked, "Chengqian, what

is the name of this delicacy?"

"After returning to my mother, the name of this food is Nii Deji."

Li Er interjected while eating next to him: "Chicken? This name is so strange

and rather indecent."

After eating the chicken nuggets in his hand, Li Er asked again: "Cheng Qian,

where have you been with Changle these past two days?"

Li Chengqian hurriedly returned: "Going back to the emperor, I saw my sister

Changle in the palace a few days ago, and Changle has been in poor health. I

worried that my sister would be sick, so he took Changle out of the palace and

spent time in Chang'an. Relax."

When Li Er heard this, there was a rare trace of warmth on his face. After the

Xuanwumen Incident last year, although he won the throne, he also lost a lot.

There is no family affection, but he really needs family affection. I am most

worried about my children living in the shadow of the Xuanwumen Incident. Now

I am very pleased to see the eldest son's heartfelt care for the eldest

daughter.

Li Er said to Li Chengqian:

"Well, Cheng Qian, you, as the elder brother, should really care about your

younger siblings, but you must not waste your studies. You are the future

prince, and you should focus on your studies. You should retire first, and

Changle will stay with your father and emperor. ."

Li Chengqian quickly resigned with Li Er and the Queen, and the grandson

nodded with a smile. Just now, she saw the warmth in the corner of Li Er's

eyes. She and Li Er's husband and wife have known each other for fifteen

years, and they have done what they did to her son this time. Things are quite

satisfactory.

"Changle, have there been any attacks of qi disease recently? Why did Cheng

Qian say that you were unhappy a few days ago?" Li Er asked with some worry.

Changle and the eldest grandson have always had gas problems. The imperial

physician in the palace was helpless. A few days ago, Sun Simiao was asked to

enter the palace to treat the two of them. Sun Simiao also said that he could

only help the queen and the princess to recuperate, but could not cure them.

The gas illness of the two has now become Li Er's heart disease.

"Returning to my father, I have not had any attacks of anger recently, but I

did feel bored in the chest a few days ago. In the past few days, my prince's

brother took my son out of the palace. I saw a lot of interesting things and

my mood improved a lot. Father Don't worry."

Thinking of the stories I heard outside the palace in the past two days, the

food I ate, and the interesting pair of brothers and sisters he had seen, the

corners of Chang Le's mouth were slightly raised.

Seeing that his daughter was in a happy mood, Li Er said: "Changle, then you

can tell your father, what interesting things have you seen in the past two

days? It just so happens that today your mother and queen are also there,

Changle, you haven't been with your father for a long time. The queen mother

said something."

"Yes, my father."
