After Li Xiaogong finished speaking, he opened another layer of the food box, took out a plate of cumin mutton and said: "This is also a new dish, called cumin mutton, which is a little spicy, but it has a different flavor." ”

"Looks good, thank you, brother." Li Shimin said as he picked up the chopsticks in the food box, picked up a large piece of lotus leaf chicken, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.

"Hmm... It melts in your mouth, the fragrance is attractive, the meat is fresh and tender, I have never eaten such delicious chicken, and the royal brother has a heart. Li Shimin did not hesitate to praise after tasting it, and after taking a bite, he couldn't stop.

I can't care about my emperor's image anymore, and the chopsticks are large pieces of chicken and sent them to my mouth.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin's feasting and was a little unbelievable, is the emperor in front of her who eats so disregarding her image really the wise and martial emperor?

After Li Shimin finished eating most of the lotus leaf chicken, he picked up a few pieces of cumin mutton and ate it, turned his head to see that the eldest grandson queen was still there in a daze, puffed out his mouth and said: "Guanyin, you can eat and eat quickly, it's really delicious." ”

Empress Changsun picked up the chopsticks and ate them in small bites, not surprisingly, a plate of lotus leaf chicken and a plate of cumin mutton were eaten by the two of them after a while.

Li Shimin still wanted to eat it, but was pulled by Empress Changsun.

Empress Eldest Sun reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, isn't my father a bad taste these days?" These two dishes are many times better than those made by the imperial chef in the palace, so it is better to dedicate them to the emperor. ”

Li Shimin reacted instantly when he heard this, "Guanyin is reasonable, I will go now." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he personally put away the food box and put the remaining two portions of lotus leaf chicken and cumin mutton into the food box.

glanced at Li Xiaogong again and said, "Brother Huang, in recent days, my father has a bad taste, he eats very little, and his body is getting thinner and thinner. Brother Huang, this dish was delivered in a timely manner, so why don't you go to my father with me and the queen. ”

"Wechen obeys." Li Xiaogong responded happily, it turned out that he also had this meaning.

The Emperor Taishang was very important to him, and he originally wanted to take this opportunity to talk about his feelings.

Not long after, the three of them came to the Taiji Hall where Li Yuan lived.

At this time, Li Yuan was still lying on the couch for a rest. Because of the loss of appetite, his eyes are dull, his spirit is haggard, and he does look a lot thinner.

Seeing Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong coming, he just squinted his eyes and said weakly: "Shimin, Xiaogong, you are here." ”

Li Shimin listened to Li Yuan's weak voice, and his heart felt like he had been pricked by something, and he was in pain.

After all, this is his father who once loved him very much, although his father was a little indifferent and dissatisfied with himself because he killed his brother and killed his brother to seize the throne, but watching his father lose more and more weight day by day, Li Shimin felt uncomfortable in his heart It was fake.

Datang attaches the most importance to filial piety, although Li Shimin killed his brother ruthlessly, but it was also a last resort.

Putting away the thoughts in his heart, Li Shimin gently walked to Li Yuan's couch, bent down and whispered: "Father, I know that you have not tasted good recently, so you brought some delicacies here, I believe that you will like it, father." ”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he didn't wait for Li Yuan to answer, so he personally served a plate of lotus leaf chicken, tore open the lotus leaf wrapped outside, and carefully presented it to Li Yuan.

When Li Yuan heard Li Shimin say that he had brought delicious food, he didn't want to pay attention to it, he hadn't eaten any food in this Taiji Palace.

Even if Li Shimin personally sent it over, how delicious it can be, it's just a matter of filial piety. Worry-free love book network

But as soon as the lotus leaf chicken was opened, he didn't think so. The unique aroma instantly seduces the appetite.

"Shimin, help me up." Smelling the fragrance of lotus leaf chicken, Li Yuanyi suddenly had a spirit.

Li Shimin was overjoyed in his heart, and said secretly: It seems that the two dishes sent by the imperial brother are really useful to my father.

So he hurriedly walked to Li Yuan's couch, carefully helped Li Yuan to sit down, handed over the chopsticks and said, "Father, try it." ”

Li Yuan excitedly took the chopsticks and tasted them first, and after confirming that they were delicious, he took a big bite of them.

A moment later, the two plates of lotus leaf chicken and cumin mutton were swept away by Li Yuan alone.

Looking at the clean plates, Li Yuan seemed to be a little unhappy.

Patting his bulging belly, Li Yuan laughed and said with satisfaction: "I haven't eaten so much for a long time, it's really delicious in the world." Shimin, this time you have a heart. ”

The food was brought by Li Xiaogong, even Li Shimin didn't dare to take credit, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed to Li Xiaogong next to him and explained: "Father, this delicacy was specially sent into the palace by the imperial brother to honor his father, and the sons and daughters did not dare to take credit." ”

"Oh!" Li Yuan couldn't help but burp and said, "It turned out to be filial piety, you both have hearts, stay and walk with me, let's eat and eat." ”

Li Xiaogong was naturally excited, but he still said respectfully: "Emperor Qibing, Weichen does not dare to deceive." Both of these dishes were invented and cooked by a young boy whom Wechen met not long ago. ”

"He invented a cookbook with dozens of dishes that I hadn't seen in the Tang Dynasty. Each dish is full of color, flavor and deliciousness. If the Emperor Taishang likes it, he can order the imperial chef in the palace to go to Wangjiang Tower to participate in the training. ”

"Oh, what's the boy's name? Who is it? Why don't you arrange for him to be the imperial chef in the palace? After Li Yuan tasted lotus leaf chicken and cumin mutton, he became very interested in the chef who made these two dishes.

He doesn't care about political affairs now, he just thinks about enjoying life, and naturally he can't let go of this delicacy.

Let Du Chengfeng come to the palace to be the imperial chef? Hehe, Li Xiaogong didn't dare to think about it.

Du Chengfeng is a rare demonic genius in the Tang Dynasty in all aspects, how can he come to the palace to be the imperial chef, isn't that burying talents?

Thinking of this, he could only turn sideways to Li Shimin and explain in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the person who invented this recipe is none other than Du Chengfeng, a genius boy who presented high-yield rice not long ago. Your Majesty, look at ......"

He didn't say the rest anymore, he believed that the emperor knew the importance of Du Chengfeng to Datang better than him.

The emperor will never allow such a person to be the imperial chef.

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard it. Xindao: Such a unique delicacy was also invented by Du Chengfeng, what else does this kid not know about him!

Looking at the strange behavior of Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin, Li Yuan frowned and feigned anger: "Shimin, Xiaogong, what are you two doing. Is there something you're hiding from me? Can't I just be the chef by myself? ”

Seeing this, Li Shimin hurriedly replied: "Father, this young man named Du Chengfeng really can't let him be the imperial chef. ”

"Why?" Hearing that Li Shimin also shirked, Li Yuan was a little curious.
