"Brother Li Yuanjia, I've seen Your Majesty!"

"Hehe, let's get even!"

Putting down the wolf hair in his hand, Li Shimin looked at his younger brother with interest, and then said with a smile: "It seems that you have been doing well recently, and you seem to have gained some weight compared to the last time you entered the palace?" ”

"Huh? Really fat? ”

Listening to the second brother's words, Li Yuanjia was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously patted his belly.

Dude has a small belly again?

Not really, right?

However, the touch on his hand told Li Yuanjia that although he doesn't have a small belly now, he is indeed a little fatter than before! And he immediately thought of the reason, of course, the newlywed Yan'er, who couldn't resist the temptation of Gentle Township, and the number of times he got up in the morning to run was greatly reduced compared to before!

His brows furrowed slightly, and when Li Yuanjia secretly warned himself not to continue to slack off, Li Shimin, who was sitting at the desk, had a dark face.

What is this kid doing? Slap your belly in front of me?

However, seeing the worry on Li Yuanjia's face, the emperor didn't have the heart to scold him for this little problem of disgrace in front of the king, but laughed and said, "What? Don't you like to gain weight? ”

"Well, of course not!"

Hardly any hesitation, Li Yuanjia immediately shook his head.

Are you kidding?

Of course, he doesn't like to gain weight, and it's not a good thing for both his image and his health...... In fact, in the world of his previous life, as long as he was a normal person, he didn't like to gain weight. It's just that not wanting to gain weight means that you have to keep your mouth shut and open your legs, which is too difficult for many people.

So as soon as he found out that he had gained some weight, Li Yuanjia quickly warned himself in his heart.

It's just that his thoughts made Li Shimin feel a little awkward, and he couldn't help frowning: "Eleven, what's wrong with being fat?" You're just too thin, and you're so young that you don't look like a prince should have the majesty you deserve! I'm a little fatter now and feel better. ”

“……”

The corners of his eyes twitched, and Li Yuanjia was speechless.

He almost forgot, although the women of Datang have not yet completely established the aesthetics of fat as beauty, but the habit of old men who like big bellies is not only established by Datang!

Ancient Chinese men never liked thin people.

Perhaps because of the backward productivity and lack of materials in ancient times, people believed that the wealth of the body was a symbol of family wealth. And the conditions of the family mean many things, such as being qualified to study, and for example, not having to go to the fields to work hard, etc., which means that you can draw a clear line with those thin "mud legs"!

Look at those ancient portraits, but which one of the characters with a little status is the thin man?

Even if he is relatively thin, the artists must paint him fat!

In the era of the previous bureaucratic system and the probationary system, being fat would inevitably be more favored, and even after the imperial examination system became the main means of material selection, if a man was too thin, he was likely to be labeled as a "sharp-beaked monkey gills", thus losing a great opportunity.

Therefore, Li Yuanjia's reaction just now is naturally a bit different in this era.

Merely......

Looking at the "majestic" figure of the emperor in front of him, Li Yuanjia hesitated for a while.

It is definitely not a wise move to rashly challenge the aesthetic concepts that have been formed for a long time, but from the bottom of his heart, Li Yuanjia hopes that his second brother can live longer-even if he does not take into account the open-mindedness and courage of this "Emperor of the Ages", just thinking about Wu Zetian's ruthless woman, Li Yuanjia must let Li Shimin live for at least five more years!

If you can live for another ten years, it will be basically fine.

In history, when Li Shimin died, Wu Zetian was twenty-five years old, which was the best age for a woman, and it was not strange to be able to hook the soul of Li Zhi's kid. But what if she was thirty or even thirty-five by then? Once he is over the age of thirty, no matter how natural Wu Zetian is, under the age limit, can he still maintain his appearance and figure when he does not have the means to maintain skin care in the future?

So after a little hesitation, Li Yuanjia said seriously: "Second brother, it's not that my brother likes to be a thin man, but I saw a passage from a medical book before, which says that if people are too fat, it is easy to get some diseases...... Of course, not all people get sick because they are fat, but it is more likely! ”

"Fat people are more likely to get sick? Monkey business! ”

Although Li Yuanjia added a sentence later, after listening to his words, the emperor's face sank instantly, and his expression was a little displeased.

His figure is fat enough now.

"Second brother, I'm just ......"

"Alright, no need to say it!"

Seeing that Li Yuanjia seemed to want to explain, Li Shimin waved his hand a little impatiently and said, "I didn't mean this when I asked you to enter the palace today!" Shiyi Lang, I remember the last time you came to say that you wanted to do tea and liquor business with the Turks and Tubo, how are you doing now? ”

"Huh? Tea and spirits? ”

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, Li Yuanjia licked his lips and said, "Back to Your Majesty, my brother has already found a Turkic merchant and is going to let them bring some tea bricks and spirits back to try when winter is approaching." ”

Regarding the emperor's figure and health, Li Yuanjia will never be in a hurry.

After all, it is difficult for him to study medicine now, and casually saying some medical knowledge that everyone in later generations knows will be used in Datang, I am afraid that he is just embarrassing himself. Only when some of his arrangements slowly bear fruit can his words be convincing.

So immediately gave up continuing to entangle the topic of fat and thin, and Li Yuanjia began to answer the emperor's questions.

However, Li Shimin suddenly asked about the business of tea and spirits, which made him feel a little strange, so after answering the question, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, but what's wrong with this matter?" ”

Shaking his head, Li Shimin frowned slightly and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just ...... Well, forget it, it's useless to talk to you about this! Eleven Lang, can you be sure that these tea bricks and spirits can be exchanged for war horses from the Tubo people? ”

“……”

After listening to the emperor's words, Li Yuanjia was suddenly a little confused.

What do you mean?

I suddenly summoned myself to the palace today, just to ask this? Didn't you take it too seriously last time?

However, after hesitating for a moment, Li Yuanjia immediately nodded and said: "Second brother, although it may be difficult in a short period of time, but the younger brother thinks that as long as he puts enough effort into it, the people of Tubo will fall in love with tea and spirits sooner or later!" It's just that there are few people in Tibet after all, and the younger brother wants to try it on the Turks first. ”

When he said these words, he finally figured it out: "It seems that the Tubo people should have made some kind of moth to remind the second child of what happened last time." ”

Sure enough, after listening to his words, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Very good, then you can use more snacks on this in the future, and give it a try over there in Tubo......
