Chapter Forty-Eight
Chapter 48
The little eunuch whispered a few times in Gonggong Yang's ear, Gonggong Yang nodded, turned the shadow wall that was blocked, walked to His Majesty Li Er, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is asking to see you outside the door." ”
His Majesty Li Er frowned and said lightly: "What is the so-called matter?" ”
"His Highness brought some wine and food that he made himself and sent them to His Majesty, Your Majesty, do you see?"
"Let him go to the apse."
"Okay." Yang Gonggong smiled and turned to leave, forgetting his usual taboos, and took three steps back when he left His Majesty's side.
His Majesty Li Er looked at him and shook his head with a smile.
"Your Highness, please come with the old slave." Gonggong Yang smiled into a chrysanthemum face, looked at Li Shen and said.
Li Shen took a step back slightly, this old guy, why does he feel very weird every time? You won't have the same habit of breaking sleeves as Li Chengqian, okay, I'll give you a lung, you will die perverted, stay away from Lao Tzu.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Your Highness, give the food box to the old slave to carry."
"No, no, it's not heavy, I can carry it myself."
"Your Highness, how are you doing these days?"
"So-so."
Gonggong Yang looked at Li Shen, who had lost a lot of weight, sighed in a low voice, reached out and touched the tears in the corners of his eyes, and said, "It's because the old slave didn't take care of His Highness that His Highness suffered so much." ”
Li Shen laughed awkwardly a few times, and glanced at Gonggong Yang who was following him, who is this guy? It's a little weird!
Opening the food box, Li Shen placed several plates of dishes on the small table, cold cucumbers, braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, small green vegetables, chicken stewed mushrooms, plus a green vegetable and tofu soup.
Gonggong Yang looked at the delicate food on the table, he had never seen it before, and there was a faint fragrance in the air, he swallowed slightly, and said, "Your Highness, where did the chef in the palace make these dishes?" ”
"I'm bored and do it myself."
"Your Highness, you said you made these dishes yourself?" Yang Gonggong said loudly with a face full of disbelief, Sensei said that this taste, it is this appearance, without many years of kitchen experience, it is impossible to make it.
Seeing Li Shen nodded, Gonggong Yang didn't continue to ask, he had never seen such a dish, and there was no need to continue to ask, since His Royal Highness said that he made it, it was he who made it, and it was very likely that during the period when he disappeared, he met some master of cooking and studied hard behind him.
Walking the dragon step, holding the fat belly, slowly walked in.
When Li Shen saw His Majesty Li Er, he quickly knelt down and said, "Erchen has seen his father. Pouted slightly, on such a hot day, and wrapped your clothes so tightly, it was really not an ordinary bag.
"Get up."
Looking at the food on the table, he sat down in slight surprise.
Li Shen looked at the eyes of the envoy Yang Gong, and hurriedly began to introduce them one by one, and said: "Father, this is the dish that Erchen has learned to make these days, you can taste it, this is a cold cucumber, using cucumber, garlic, salt, a little vinegar and rice wine, it is suitable for summer, this is braised pork......"
His Majesty Li Er nodded, Li Shen introduced it, he picked up the chopsticks, picked them up and tasted them, did not blame him for going down to the kitchen, but showed a hint of relief in his eyes, such a he, he had not seen it for many years, and the time was so long that he was about to forget.
Li Shen glanced at His Majesty Li Er twice, Wo Cao, this is eaten, and he is not afraid that I will poison you to death with some poison, and said, "Father, how does it taste?" ”
"Not bad."
"Hehe, of course, Erchen will make a fortune with this craft in the future." Li Shen scratched his head and said with a smile, while really hinting at His Majesty Li Er, he was pulling favorability.
His Majesty Li Er raised his head and glanced at Li Shen, put down the chopsticks in his hand, his face became a little bad, just ask him if he is a dignified generation of heavenly khan, his merits are comparable to the three emperors and five emperors, even if he is demoted to a commoner, it is his son, or the eldest son, he can afford to lose this person, he can't afford to lose it.
However, during this time, he often thinks about his children's education, he asks himself with a clear conscience, and treats each child very fairly, even if sometimes negligent, but there are too many children, it is inevitable, now that the children are older, with their own thinking, it is time for him to change, and consider it from the perspective of the children.
"That's what you're going to do?"
Li Shen nodded, knowing that business in ancient times was most looked down upon by others, but he didn't care, he couldn't look down on it, he lived his life behind closed doors, whatever he did.
"Erchen committed such an unforgivable thing, and now Erchen just wants to be able to live a plain life and live the life he wants."
His Majesty Li Er sighed, looked at Li Shen, and said, "This is your return to me for so many years of upbringing?" ”
"Father, is it still useful to talk about this now? You want to train your retainers to be a wise ruler, and it is your retainers who have let you down. But Erchen figured it out, no matter what position he was in, as long as he made the contribution he should make to the Tang Dynasty, Erchen would have the face to meet the ancestors of the Li family and the queen mother. Things are no big or small, what to do, for the current sons are the same, in the past the sons are the helmsmen of the future Datang, in the future they will just become a sailor, or the same contribution to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, just like every person living in the Tang Dynasty, Shinong industry and commerce, father, son-in-law asked you less merchants, what do the people of Chang'an City eat? How did those Jiangnan silks come to Chang'an City, in fact, Erchen felt that people engaged in any profession were the same, Shi Nong Industry and Commerce were indispensable, and if there was any less of them, the entire empire would not be able to operate, it was just that the scholars wanted to elevate their status......"
Li Shen finished what he said in one breath, not to show anything, not to mention that the knowledge in his stomach can't be sold, the most important thing is to win the favor of His Majesty Li Er, these things he also put together, he has already expressed them, as for whether His Majesty Li Er can understand, it has nothing to do with him.
He knew that even if he was demoted to a commoner and driven out of the family, he was still the eldest son of His Majesty Li Er, and half of his blood flowed in his body, which could never change the facts, and he could not do anything as he wanted, everything had to be for the sake of the royal face.
Looking at the silent His Majesty Li Er, Li Shen scratched his head, showed a sincere look, bowed, and said: "This is also a little opinion of the sons themselves, if it is not right, I hope that my father will forgive me." He pursed his lips slightly, thinking to himself; The master has said so, if you lose your temper with the master again, it won't be a thing. Nai Nai, who has grown so big, has never been such a grandson.
