Chapter 42 Li Shimin, who is addicted to eating dumplings
After a short time, the eldest grandson, Queen Niang, walked in. Concubine Yang Shufei pulled Li Ke and hurriedly bowed to the eldest grandson queen.
Empress Eldest Sun stretched out her hand to help Yang Shufei and said, "Sister Shufei has been injured, why is there a fire in the palace." ”
"Thank you for the queen's concern, there was no fire in the palace of the concubines. It's just that Ke'er is building a kang for her concubines. Concubine Yang said to Empress Eldest Sun.
"Guanyin, don't worry, it's all this damn bastard who is making trouble here. After a trip to Qizhou, I became more and more lawless. Li Shimin still said angrily.
At this time, Li Ke didn't care how angry Li Shimin was. Instead, he unhurriedly fished out the cooked dumplings in the pot. It was then served in a fine porcelain plate.
And came to Li Shimin with a smile and said to Li Shimin: "Father, you taste the dumplings made by a son-in-law first, and then it's not too late to scold the son-in-law." ”
After Li Ke finished speaking, he handed the chopsticks to Li Shimin. Let Li Shimin taste what the dumplings he just cooked out of the pot tasted like.
After Li Shimin glared at Li Ke, he came to the dumplings and put one in his mouth. It's okay not to eat this, but Li Shimin really can't put down the chopsticks when he eats it.
At this time, Li Ke took a cotton coat from Yue'er's hand. This cotton coat is even more luxurious than Yang Shufei's.
The whole cotton coat is made of silk, and on the outside of the cotton coat, two lifelike phoenixes are embroidered. It looks like it's going to live.
"Queen, it's getting colder. Wear this cotton dress specially made by the retainer for the queen, so as to ensure that the queen will not be infected with the cold. After Li Ke finished speaking, he handed the cotton clothes in his hand to the palace maid beside Empress Changsun.
Looking at the cotton clothes that Li Ke gave her, Empress Changsun couldn't help but feel a little strange. A cotton coat that looks thin, will it be so warm?
"Queen Mother, the cotton dress that Ke'er brought is really not ordinary warm when you wear it. And it's a lot lighter than the heavy fur. ”
"It's better for the queen to wear it and try it, and when the time comes, the queen will ensure that the queen will love it." Concubine Yang Shu came to the eldest grandson queen and said.
And took matters into his own hands to help Empress Changsun take off the fur on her body. changed into the cotton clothes that Li Ke made for the eldest grandson queen.
Empress Eldest Sun saw that Concubine Yang Shufei was also wearing a cotton coat, but whether it was embroidery or fabric, it was slightly inferior to her own. I couldn't help but feel a little happy in my heart.
After the eldest grandson queen put it on, she really felt the same as what Yang Shufei said. It feels very light and warm.
In addition, the workmanship is very fine and luxurious, which can't help but make the eldest grandson queen very fond of it. Keep stroking with your hands.
At this time, I heard Li Ke say to Li Shimin: "Father, you can't eat all the delicious food." You should have left a few for the queen mother and the concubine. ”
Li Shimin wiped his mouth after putting down his chopsticks, and then said, "Don't you still have uncooked food there?" After cooking it for the queen and your mother, it won't be over. ”
Li Ke shook his head helplessly, then took dozens of dumplings and began to cook them again. At this time, Li Shimin noticed the cotton clothes on the eldest grandson queen and Yang Shufei.
After inquiry, I knew that this cotton coat was a good thing. So he said to Li Ke: "There are good things that only know filial piety to the queen and your mother, why can't you remember me?" ”
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Ke looked at Li Shimin with an aggrieved expression. Before Li Ke could say anything, Wang De on the side whispered in Li Shimin's ear.
So Li Shimin immediately ordered Wang De to go to the Ganlu Hall to get his own set of cotton clothes. Li Shimin wants to see for himself how warm this cotton clothes are.
Li Shimin is not for how warm he is, but if this cotton coat can really play a role in keeping warm.
That will play a great role in the military, after all, once it is winter, the clothes on the soldiers' bodies are thin, so they cannot guarantee the original combat effectiveness at all.
If you can dress soldiers in cotton clothes without affecting their physical flexibility. That is definitely the gospel of the soldiers on the border of the Tang Dynasty.
Not long after, Wang De took back the cotton clothes that Li Ke gave to Li Shimin. After Li Shimin tried it on himself, he felt the warmth of this cotton clothes.
So he said to Li Ke: "How did you get this cotton clothes?" ”
"Father, don't be in a hurry, wait for the retainer to cook dumplings for the queen's mother. It's not too late to talk to my father in detail. After Li Ke smiled, he continued to cook dumplings.
This can make Li Shimin very angry, I heard that Li Ke really doesn't know the severity. But as soon as he thought of the deliciousness of the dumplings, Li Shimin didn't say anything more.
Soon Li Ke cooked the dumplings, then put them on a plate and served them to the eldest grandson queen. and told the eldest grandson queen that she should dip it in garlic sauce before eating.
According to Li Ke's explanation, Empress Changsun picked up a dumpling, dipped it in some garlic sauce and put it in her mouth. After eating, I couldn't help but let the eldest grandson queen be full of praise.
At this time, Li Shimin on the side knew that he had to dip garlic sauce to eat dumplings. But he just ate it like that, and he couldn't help glaring at Li Ke fiercely again.
So he said to Li Ke: "Okay, now let's talk to me about this cotton clothes." ”
"Father, the reason why this cotton coat can keep warm is that it is filled with cotton. And this so-called cotton is the ancient shellfish raised in the palace......" Then Li Ke told Li Shimin in detail about Yue'er's discovery of cotton.
This couldn't help but make Li Shimin very happy, and immediately ordered Wang De to go to the palace to search for the fruit of the ancient shellfish. And also ordered people to go to Chang'an City to find the fruit of this ancient shell flower.
……
"Your Highness, hurry up, the prince is here. said that the emperor is waiting for you at the lady concubine. Yue'er shook Li Ke, who was sleeping soundly, awake and said.
"What are you looking for me to do early in the morning, I really can't even sleep well." Li Ke complained while reluctantly getting up and changing clothes.
Then he took Yue'er to follow Wang De and went to Concubine Yang Shu's bedroom. On the way, Li Ke said to Wang De: "Princess, what is the matter with my father calling me so early." ”
"The cotton clothes brought by His Royal Highness King Qi have made a great contribution. His Royal Highness the King of Qi is waiting for the emperor to reward you. Wang De said happily to Li Ke.
"Isn't it just a few cotton clothes? What's the big deal. I think my father just wants me to make dumplings for him. Li Ke said indifferently.
"Your Royal Highness King Qi, you are really right, the emperor is really waiting for you to make dumplings at Concubine Shu's place. And not only the emperor is here, but also the queen, His Royal Highness the Prince, and even the king of Yue is also there. Wang De said to Li Ke with a smile.
Hearing Wang De's words, Li Ke turned around and ran. And while running, he said to Wang De: "You told your father, just say that I had something to do and left the palace and didn't find me." ”
