Chapter 16: Li Er's questioning

The private room on the fourth floor of the Drunken Immortal Building.

Cheng Chu silently saw Li Chengqian's brother and sister leaving, hesitated, bumped Li Zexuan's arm, and said, "Xiao Xuan, don't you really know the identity of this Li Gaoming?" ”

Li Zexuan shook his head and said with some hesitation: "I don't know, people don't say it, and I don't take the initiative to ask, but looking at the temperament of his brother and sister, it should be from the official family." ”

Cheng Chumo also admired his observation a little, leaned over and said softly: "Hey, it's not just an official eunuch's family, then Li Gaoming is the current prince, and Li Lizhi is the most favored princess of Changle by His Majesty today." ”

Li Zexuan was stunned: "Huh? Isn't the current prince Li Chengqian? ”

"You're stupid, Prince Li Chengqian, the words are smart, you don't know this, right?" Cheng was silent.

Well, I was even despised by this uneducated rammer, and if you want to blame it, you can blame yourself for choosing an engineering major, I only know that this prince's name is Li Chengqian, who knows what he says.

Cheng Chumo said a little worried at this time: "Xiao Xuan, you have to think about it, this royal matter is not as simple as you think, the water in it is deep, you and the prince had better not have a deep relationship, my father asked me to stay away from the prince and King Wei and others, and his attitude towards them is not to offend, nor to cling to them." Besides, Your Majesty is still in the prime of life, and being too close to the crown prince Wei and others will not be good for your current future. ”

Li Zexuan was a little moved, Cheng Chumo could say these words to him to prove that he really regarded himself as a friend and a brother, smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Brother Ugly Cow, don't worry, little brother, I have been practicing in the mountains with my master for eight years, and I have long looked down on these competitions for fame and fortune. ”

Cheng Chumo also admired his open-mindedness a little, but he couldn't live this kind of life, he was the kind of person who couldn't be idle, and it was more uncomfortable for him to stay at home than to kill him. "Since Xiao Xuan, you already know how powerful it is, then I won't say much about it, brother."

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "I still want to thank Brother Ugly Niu for reminding me." If the prince has been treating me like this as a friend, I will naturally treat him as a brother, and if he wants to use me to achieve his own ends, then it is okay not to make such friends. ”

Although Li Zexuan knew that Li Chengqian had a violent temperament and extravagance in history, and finally rebelled and was defeated, at least the current Li Chengqian is still a humble and polite teenager, although he doesn't know why he became like this later, but maybe he can be rescued.

When Lan'er heard the words of the two of them, she grew up in surprise: "Wow, it turns out that Sister Lizhi is a princess, brother, isn't the princess a big official?" ”

Li Zexuan touched Lan'er's head a little funny: "Well, the princess is indeed a big official, and in the whole Tang Dynasty, she is only afraid of His Majesty the Emperor, does Lan'er also want to be a princess?" ”

Lan'er frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Lan'er doesn't want to be a princess, Lan'er just wants to be her brother's sister." ”

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

Inside the Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin was flipping through a recital, but after reading the recital, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. At this time, a beautiful woman in a palace costume took a bowl of lotus seed porridge, moved the lotus step lightly, and came to Li Shimin's side, seeing that Li Shimin was in a good mood, she asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, why are you so happy." ”

Li Er took the beautiful woman in the palace costume, handed her the fold in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is the good news sent by Jingde from Youzhou, you can also take a look at Guanyin." Luo Yi rebelled in the first month of this year according to Youzhou, your brother and Jingde have put down the rebellion in less than two months, I have these capable ministers and tiger generals, why worry about my Tang Dynasty is not prosperous, haha! ”

Seeing that Li Er was happy, Empress Eldest Sun also smiled and said: "That's all Erlang's knowledge, Erlang, you have watched the chapter for so long, it's time to rest, this is the lotus seed porridge boiled by the concubine, Erlang tastes it." ”

At this moment, a chamberlain hurriedly came in and bowed to Li Er and the queen: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Changle are waiting outside the palace. ”

Li Er said to the queen: "These two children have not been able to find anyone in the palace recently, and today they finally came to see me." Then he said to the little chamberlain, "Let them come in." ”

After a while, Li Chengqian's brother and sister entered the palace and bowed to Li Er and the queen: "Sons and daughters greet the father and the queen mother!" ”

"Well, excuse me, Changle, come to my father and queen mother." Li Er beckoned to Changle, he loved this eldest daughter very much, when Changle was just born, Li Er regarded it as a pearl in his palm, named Li Liqian, and the history books also praised Princess Changle very much, praising it as "bright as the night moon shines on Qionglin, rotten like the morning glow of the Pearl Pu".

Li Er saw the food box mentioned in Li Chengqian's hand at this time, and said curiously: "Chengqian, what are you carrying in your hand?" ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to my father, at this time, Erchen and Sister Changle encountered a delicacy in a restaurant in Xishi today, the price of this thing is consistent, and it is only limited to two hundred copies per day, but many people are eager to buy it, when Erchen went, there was already a long queue in front of the restaurant, this is Erchen asked a friend who had just met to get two copies, Erchen saw that his father seemed to have a bad appetite recently, so he wanted to take it to his father and mother to taste. ”

Li Er and the eldest grandson glanced at each other, smiled with relief, Li Er said: "It's rare to accept your filial piety, I am a little curious when you say this, what is the magic of this delicacy, the price is so expensive, but it still makes so many people rush to it." Zhao Song, you go and bring the food box. Behind Li Er, an old eunuch bowed down to receive the order.

At this time, Changle next to Empress Changsun also smiled at Li Er: "Father, this food cooking method is indeed quite peculiar, Erchen has also tasted it, it is indeed delicious, Erchen also saw Cheng Chumo of Lu Guogong's family in that restaurant, and he ate sixteen servings alone." After that, I couldn't help but cover my mouth and chuckle.

Changle didn't know that not long after the two of them left, Cheng Chumo was about to eat twenty servings.

At this time, Zhao Song took the food box and was about to go to the drug test, but Li Er waved his hand to stop it: "No need, will Cheng Qian still harm me?" ”

After that, he looked at the food box, and saw that the pieces of golden and tender chicken were arranged in the food plate, and bursts of crispy chicken fragrance rushed into his nostrils, Li Er couldn't help but have a great appetite, and picked up a piece of chicken and sent it into his mouth, the burnt aroma of eggs and starch was mixed with the tenderness of the chicken.

Li Er couldn't help but smack his lips and exclaimed: "Well, this thing is really delicious, Guanyin, you can also taste it, the crispiness of this fried chicken nuggets, and then paired with the lotus seed porridge made by the queen for a while, is not greasy, it really makes me appetite." ”

The eldest grandson saw that the emperor finally had an appetite, and he was also happy, so he sandwiched a piece and tasted it, it did taste quite peculiar, and he could let the imperial chef try it in the future to see if he could make it. The eldest grandson is not a greedy person, he put down the chopsticks after eating two pieces, and it is rare for Li Er to have an appetite, so he leaves the rest for the emperor to eat.

The queen turned her head, looked at Li Chengqian and asked, "Chengqian, what's the name of this delicacy?" ”

"After returning to the mother, this food is called gnawing chicken."

Li Er interjected while eating on the side: "Gnawing chicken? It's a strange name, and it's quite indecent. After eating the chicken nuggets in his hand, Li Er asked again: "Cheng Qian, where have you and Changle gone in the past two days?" ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly returned: "Back to my father, my son saw Changle's sister sullen in the palace a few days ago, and Changle's health has been bad, and Erchen was worried that his sister would be sick, so he took Changle out of the palace and took Changle to relax in Chang'an City. ”

Li Er heard this, a rare trace of warmth appeared on his face, after the Xuanwumen Incident last year, although he won the throne, but at the same time he also lost a lot, the heavenly family has no family affection, but he really needs family affection, he is most worried that his children are living in the shadow of the Xuanwumen Incident, and now he sees the eldest son's heartfelt love for the eldest daughter, and he is also very relieved.

Li Er said to Li Chengqian: "Well, Chengqian, as an elder brother, you should indeed care more about your younger brothers and sisters, but you must not waste your studies, you are the future prince, you still have to focus on your studies, you should step back first, Changle will stay with your father." ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly said goodbye to Li Er and the queen, the eldest grandson nodded with a smile, she saw the warmth in the corner of Li Er's eyes just now, she and Li Er's young husband and wife, they have known each other for fifteen years, and they are also satisfied with what their son did this time.

"Changle, have you had any qi attacks recently? Why did Cheng Qian say that you were depressed a few days ago? Li Er asked with some concern.

A few days ago, Sun Simiao asked Sun Simiao to enter the palace to treat the two, and Sun Simiao also said that he could only help the queen and the princess recuperate, but could not cure it. The qi disease of the two has now become Li Er's heart disease.

"Back to my father, I haven't had a seizure of my son's qi recently, but I did feel stuffy in my chest a few days ago, and in the past two days, the prince's brother has taken my son out of the palace, and my son has seen a lot of interesting things, and his mood is much better, so don't worry about my father." Thinking of the stories he heard outside the palace in the past two days, the delicacies he ate, and the pair of interesting brothers and sisters he had seen, the corners of Changle's mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

Li Er saw that his daughter was in a happy mood, and he was also really happy, so he said: "Changle, then you can tell your father what interesting things you have seen in the past two days, it just so happens that your mother is also here today, Changle, you haven't talked to your father and queen mother for a long time." ”

"Yes, Father."
