Chapter 12: The Father Who Returned from the Banquet
After eating half of the taste, the other half of Li Chengqian was stuffed into the mouth of the eunuch who was following him to supervise the whole process.
Since the harvest of leeks, this guy has been staring at the ingredients with his eyes wide open, thinking that this is the person who tasted it.
The emperor's life is greater than the sky, even if the closest person gets it, there must be someone who tries it to test the poison first.
The deadfish-eyed eunuch did not move his mouth first, but took out a silver needle and poked it around half of the box.
After poking for a while, he looked at the silver needle and was surprised to find that the silver needle had turned black.
Poisonous!
The eunuch pointed at Li Chengqian with one hand tremblingly, and he was speechless for a while.
Li Yuan also saw this scene, but he didn't say anything. He didn't want to believe that a seven-year-old child, still his grandson, had poisoned him.
Li Chengqian snatched the half of the box from the hand of the eunuch who tried it without changing his face, and threw it to Yu Tai, who was swallowing saliva.
"Eat."
Yu Taicai doesn't care what color the silver needle has become, even if it has become seven colors, he will also eat what the little master handed over.
Seeing that Yu Tai ate the half of the box without a trace of discomfort, Li Yuan finally asked, "Why?" ”
The discoloration of the silver needle is obvious to all, but whether it is Li Chengqian or Yu Tai, every one of them has problems.
Li Chengqian snatched the silver needle from the already stiff eunuch, and said helplessly: "This silver needle, how to say it, the only poison that can be detected is arsenic." And as long as you know the emperor's grandfather, even if you directly prick the untamed egg yolk with a needle, this thing will change color. ”
After speaking, Li Chengqian took out another box and ate it unscrupulously.
Seeing Li Chengqian's greed for eating, Li Yuan finally couldn't help it, picked up one and tasted it.
Just as soon as he eats, he can't stop.
The slight spicy aroma of leeks, the mellow eggs and the crispy dough, coupled with the unpredictable light spice flavor inside, combine to be so harmonious.
In contrast, the things made in the Imperial Dining Room during this time are only suitable for feeding pigs!
A plate of boxes, Li Yuan and Li Chengqian, only half of them were eaten.
As a result, the eunuch made a cup of hot tea with him, and asked him to give Li Chengqian a cup. After drinking the tea, Li Yuancai smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the leek, which is called the intestinal grass, is so delicious, but I have always been too afraid of its reputation." ”
After speaking, Li Yuan looked at some of the remaining boxes and instructed the eunuch with him: "You take these leek egg boxes and give them to the prince." ”
Even if it was a leek box, he had to give some to the prince. It can be seen that he still likes the prince very much.
Regarding Li Yuan's distribution, Li Chengqian didn't say anything. Although this leek box was made by him, Li Yuan wanted to reward it, and he couldn't say anything more.
Not to mention these boxes, in feudal society, as long as it is on the land of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is dust or air, theoretically it belongs to the emperor, and the emperor is born with the first right to dispose of everything.
After letting the eunuch send the box away, Li Yuan patted Li Chengqian's shoulder lovingly: "Little guy, I have been messing around with you, and the leek seeds you want are also in hand, so go out of the palace." In the future, if I have time, I will often come to visit the emperor's grandfather. ”
Among his grandsons, Li Yuan still likes Li Chengqian. The other grandchildren were all born in their respective mansions, but only this grandson was born suddenly in the Chengqian Palace, from birth to confinement, they were all in the palace. As the emperor's grandfather, he witnessed Li Chengqian's first crying, the first time he breastfeeded, and the first time he opened his eyes. It is precisely because of these that he attaches great importance to this grandson, and even when he opened the mansion and built a tooth, he named him the king of Zhongshan County.
Li Chengqian knew that Li Yuan's willingness to meet him and follow him around the whole process was already the limit of what an emperor could do, so he nodded: "I know." ”
Looking at the well-behaved and sensible Li Chengqian, Li Yuan smiled and ordered the strong men who were carrying his shoulders to carry him out of the palace.
Of course, whether it was the basket of eggs or the ground spices, he had no intention of returning them.
It was rare to meet something that had the right appetite, and he was already looking forward to the leeks of the Ministry of Rites growing again.
In this way, Li Chengqian, who carried a basket of eggs and a large bag of spices, entered with a full load and returned alone.
Although it is very courteous to send him out of the palace, but....
In desperation, Li Chengqian could only take his eldest grandson Baoqing and Yu Tai to find the pharmacy again.
The leek box made this time tastes very good, although the thirteen spices are not ready, but the taste is still crushing all the dishes of this era.
Li Chengqian, who tasted this taste, decided to get another batch of spices.
It is still the "Rejuvenation Hall", but unlike the lively Rejuvenation Hall in the morning, the Rejuvenation Hall at this time is actually surrounded by a group of soldiers, and the pedestrians on the street dare not get too close when they see this formation.
"What's going on?"
Yu Tai saw that the two guards at the gate were people he knew, and he was about to step forward to ask, but was stopped by two horizontal knives.
"King Qin is asking for medicine, and idle people are not allowed to enter!"
"Daddy is asking about medicine?"
Hearing this news, Li Chengqian was puzzled.
Li Shimin does have wind and qi diseases, but now is when he is strong and strong, and these diseases have not yet found his head, why do you ask for medical advice at this time?
The curious Li Chengqian stepped forward and said, "This king is Li Chengqian, the king of Zhongshan, what happened to my father?" ”
This group of soldiers did not recognize Yu Tai, but they recognized Li Chengqian.
After confirming that this person was the prince, the two soldiers put away their knives and replied respectfully: "Back to the prince, King Qin was invited to the banquet by the prince at noon, but when he returned from the banquet, he felt unbearable abdominal pain and even vomited blood. ”
"What?"
Hearing the news, Li Chengqian was very confused.
Going to the prince's banquet? Isn't this a Hongmen feast? Li Shimin: Was his head kicked by a donkey?
Pushing the guards away, Li Chengqian said anxiously: "Get out of the way, let this king in!" ”
The soldiers did not dare to stop Li Chengqian, so they could only let him enter the Rejuvenation Hall.
At this time, the Rejuvenation Hall was full of soldiers, and the old Chinese medicine doctor in the morning was walking around like ants on a hot pot.
In the lobby, there was a simple bed, on which Li Shimin, who was still in a coma, lay down.
Next to the bed, there was Cheng Biting Jin-Cheng Zhijie, who also looked anxious.
This is the first time Li Chengqian has seen this demon king of the mixed world.
The real Cheng Biting Jin is very different from the image in the TV series. This guy is not fat, on the contrary, in terms of muscle size, he will definitely not lose to the bodybuilding champion.
Come to think of it, they are all characters who have been on the march for many years, how can they be a fat guy.
Seeing Li Chengqian, Cheng Yanjin suddenly felt that his head was bigger.
