Chapter Eighty-Five: Sit in a row and eat fairy fruits
Open your eyes, turtles.
"Your Majesty, this fourth kind of fairy fruit represents the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and eating the corresponding fairy fruit every season can make you healthy and prolong your life."
Picking up a fruit, the corners of Li Ran's mouth twitched...... It's a bit prickly, how did Uncle Cheng do it, didn't he let him wash his hair, he couldn't do things well when he was old.
"This spring fruit, called the fairy monkey fruit, is said to be a strange thing that the heavenly fairy monkey picked from a far away place to offer to the gods, and the common name given to it by Weichen is...... Kiwi. ”
took a spoon and dug out the juicy fruit inside, Wu Zetian tasted it, and suddenly his face was happy.
The taste organs of the elderly are degenerated, and the sweet and sour kiwifruit can stimulate the taste buds more, and the effect is first-class.
"If there are more, they will all be sent to the palace."
The number of kiwi fruits is very small, Wu Zetian unceremoniously monopolizes it, and the ministers only have envy.
"Your Majesty, let's finish reading the other immortal fruits."
The flickering continued, and Li Ran mentioned a lump of fruit again, and the hundred officials were dumbfounded.
What is it? How is it like a mace, and it has thorns.
took a sharp knife and cut open the shell, and a strange smell suddenly permeated the Xuanwu Palace, and the hundred officials were caught off guard, and they were all disgusted and retched.
"Li Ran, why did you bring the filth!"
Wu Zetian also covered his mouth and nose, with a look of resentment, is this kid getting carried away and playing with it?
"Your Majesty, although this fairy fruit tastes strange, it tastes extremely delicious, and please try it to know the authenticity."
Wu Zetian was skeptical, took a sip, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he immediately swallowed the whole spoonful of pulp, and was addicted.
"Your Majesty, this summer fairy fruit, called thorn fruit, commonly known as durian, it is not easy to eat it, it grows in the remote southern barbarian land of the fairy world, where the heat is unbearable, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, and the immortals do not dare to go easily, this thorn fruit has a hard shell and smells bad, but it is actually a means to resist the harsh environment."
The truth came as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Ran flickered extremely tragically, "This fruit grows in a harsh environment, the appearance is ugly, but the inside is sweet and delicious, maintain the heart of the fairy fruit, the immortal often has its self-encouragement, we mortals should act the same, out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons." ”
"Good! It's a good one out of the mud but not stained, and the ripples are clear but not demonic! ”
Wu Zetian immediately praised it, such a philosophical meaning, worthy of being an immortal fruit.
Li Ran smiled secretly, I finally washed this durian white, it smells bad, it's because you don't know how to appreciate the outstanding beauty!
"Autumn fruits, called crystal fruits, are finely and densely condensed into a clump, crystal clear, and sweet in taste."
Li Ran cut the peel again, and sure enough, the round and jade fruit was breathtaking, Wu Zetian tasted some, and Long Yan was happy again.
"What a crystal fruit, the quality of this fairy fruit can be described as heaven and earth with the thorn fruit, where does it come from?"
Tsk, women, they are all good-looking dogs.
"Back to the emperor, this crystal fruit is the extreme west of the fairy world, where the climate is similar to the Western Regions, with drought and little rain all year round, this crystal fruit comes from the sand, and takes water from the abyss underground, so it is so delicious."
"I see, sure enough, the reason why the fairy fruit is an immortal fruit is that its growth is not easy."
Wu Zetian tasted it again, and he actually tasted a different philosophy of life.
Li Ran admired, when it comes to fooling people, this girl is also an expert...... It's just guava, and it really rises to the height of philosophy.
"Count, this winter fruit ......"
"Wait, let me guess."
Wu Zetian's curiosity came up, and he walked around the box twice, and said in surprise, "This thing has a unique shape, the whole body is red, only the tail root has green leaves, strange, what are the black dots on this fruit...... Could it be that it's called pockmarked fruit? ”
Obviously, this girl's literary literacy is not good, of course, it is more likely to be a gag in a good mood.
"The emperor said very much, it is really called pockmarked fruit, this fairy fruit is from the fairy fruit field, it is very delicate, and it can be eaten after washing."
Brother just followed you, do you believe it?
"Of course, in the fairy world, it also has a nickname...... Strawberry. ”
Li Ran peeled the largest and freshest one, and said with a smile, "After this thing leaves suddenly, it will soon wither, so it's good to try it." ”
Wu Zetian immediately ate it and smiled with great satisfaction.
"Li Ran, these six kinds of immortal fruits have never been seen before, and you have made great contributions to the imperial court, alas, I don't even know how to reward you."
Wu Zetian sighed slightly, and said it beautifully, but in fact, he cut off Li Ran's opportunity to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take an official position again, and gave twenty places for the chief officials of the six ministries a few days ago, and he was still in pain.
"Ministers don't need rewards, and it is a blessing for courtiers to be able to offer auspicious rui to the emperor."
Li Ran smiled and killed the topic directly, making her more down-to-earth...... However, the routine has only just begun.
Taking advantage of Wu Zetian's relaxed vigilance, Li Ran said again, "The gods gave these six kinds of immortal fruits to the prince's mansion, and the prince immediately prayed to the gods if he could plant these immortal fruits in the mortal world to enrich the products of my dynasty, and the gods agreed after thinking about it for a long time, but this immortal fruit is too heavy, and it must be eaten by people with great virtue and great blessings, and then weakened by the years and months, so that it can approach ordinary things and be eaten by ordinary people." ”
Digging a pit has to be done step by step, and after compiling the story to a complete conclusion, don't forget to put a high hat on Wu Zetian, "The prince thinks that under the whole world, there is no one who is more virtuous and blessed than the emperor you, so the prince implores the emperor to plant these six kinds of fairy fruits in the imperial garden of the palace, feel the emperor's breath, and after the emperor eats it for a few years, it will be promoted and planted in various provinces." ”
Li Ran glanced at his father-in-law, and was still stunned for what to do, to be a wingman for his brother!
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what your son meant."
Li Xian comprehended, stepped forward and knelt down and pleaded, "Please also ask the emperor to fulfill it." ”
“…… All right. ”
Wu Zetian hesitated for a few seconds and nodded lightly, it is a good thing to seek the well-being of all the people, besides, she really likes these immortal fruits, so there is no reason not to agree.
Very good, the routine is successful, these six kinds of fruits, the ripening season is different, even if Wu Zetian only goes to the imperial garden once in three days, this year, I am afraid that there is no time to be idle.
Besides, Li Ran has a bigger killing move behind.
The old man's performance is not over yet.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing for your sons."
Li Xian heard that he knew the elegance, and after glancing at Li Ran, he mustered up his courage and said in a deep voice, "Erchen wants to build a palace for his mother!" ”
After the words fell, all the officials fried the pot together.
What the hell is the palace, and you don't have to go out on patrol, such a thing that costs people and money, this prince's brain is in water?
“…… Xian'er, tell me why. ”
Wu Zetian was also shocked, but the obvious opposition of the hundred officials aroused her determination to hear the reason, what happened to being an emperor and being a maverick.
"Your Majesty, after Cheng Lilang helped the emperor build a mausoleum, the sons couldn't sleep at night, thinking that they had no chance to do filial piety by the emperor's side in their lives, they couldn't help but regret it, and now the emperor's immortal life is getting higher, and the sons must make up for the defects of the past, so I want to build a palace for the emperor next to the Fengzen platform!"
Li Xian's line skills are good, and the reason is quite legitimate, who dares to say that filial piety is wrong?
