Chapter 204 The tacit understanding of aunt and nephew

At this time, Li Zhang saw Li Shunrong looking at him, and now he showed a kind smile to her. Although he had no feelings for this aunt, their whole family could change their destiny thanks to her. Therefore, Li Zhang was still very grateful to his aunt. This time he found an opportunity to meet the other party, but in fact he wanted to contact the other party so that she knew that the people who cared about her outside were still concerned about her.

After entering the hall, Li Shunrong immediately cooked tea for them himself, and Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen also sat side by side. Then Zhao Zhen still asked Li Shunrong a few questions in a very formal way, and although Li Shunrong tried his best to restrain him, Li Zhang could still see that she was still very excited when facing Zhao Zhen, and even almost burned herself when cooking tea.

After finally cooking the tea soup, Li Shunrong brought it with her own hands, but Zhao Zhen didn't move at all, which made Li Shunrong look a little disappointed. Speaking of which, Zhao Zhen was taken away by Liu E as soon as he was born. It can be said that except for the ten months Zhao Zhen was in her belly, the mother and son never had any contact.

Even Li Shunrong is very luxurious to meet Zhao Zhen. The last time she met was when Zhao Heng was buried last year, she could only take a look at Zhao Zhen from a distance. Her biggest hope was to let Zhao Zhen put on the clothes she made and eat the food she made. But this wish was too difficult to realize. However, even if Zhao Zhen could drink a sip of the tea she cooked, it would make her feel better. Unfortunately, Zhao Zhen had no interest in drinking tea at all.

"Well~, Li Shunrong is really a good tea. Your Majesty, please try it!" At this moment, Li Zhang suddenly picked up the tea and tasted it, and then said to Zhao Zhen next to him with a smile.

"Uh?" Zhao Zhen was stunned when he heard Li Zhang's words, and then looked at him with a strange face, because he knew that Li Zhang didn't like drinking tea. He always said that the tea in the Song Dynasty was like cooking broth, adding everything to it. But why did he suddenly praise Li Shunrong's tea art in front of him today?

"What do I do? It's really delicious?" Li Zhang said and drank the bowl of tea in one go. Others sipped tea in small sips. Only vulgar martial artists would drink like Li Zhang. But this cannot be blamed for this. The main reason is that the tea in the Song Dynasty not only contains tea, but also heavy seasonings such as meatmeg and ginger, and even salt is needed. Anyway, no matter how you blame it, Li Zhang feels like drinking medicine every time he drinks tea, and he really can't drink it without a big sip.

Seeing that Li Zhang had finished drinking the tea, Zhao Zhen was embarrassed to be unhealthy. He immediately picked up the tea soup and sipped it, but he didn't find out where the tea soup was good?

However, when Li Shunrong saw Zhao Zhen drinking the tea she cooked, her eyes turned red and tears almost burst out. However, she finally held back her tears and nodded gratefully to Li Zhang. In fact, she had guessed through this matter. Li Zhang probably knew something, so she helped him so deliberately.

"Li Shunrong's tea-making skills are indeed good. No wonder my cousin likes it so much, but it's still late, we..."

Although Zhao Zhen felt like tea, out of politeness, he still praised a few words of praise and then wanted to say goodbye and leave. However, at this time, Li Shunrong suddenly stood up and interrupted him and said, "Since Your Majesty and Li Bandu liked it, I'll pour some more for you!"

As Li Shunrong said, he stood up and picked up the teapot next to him to continue tea for Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen. This made Zhao Zhen unable to say anything to say goodbye. Li Zhang also laughed secretly at this time. Although his aunt was weak, she was actually quite bold. Most people dare not interrupt Zhao Zhen at will.

However, Zhao Zhen was a little uncomfortable with Li Shunrong's enthusiasm. After thanking the other party very politely, he signaled Li Zhang to say goodbye and leave again. However, Li Zhang pretended not to see it, and picked up the tea and started drinking it.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen was quite helpless. He was about to stand up and say goodbye to Shunrong again, but Li Zhang suddenly said "Ouch", and the tea bowl fell to the ground, and his body was covered with tea, which made him jump up and tremble his clothes while shouting: "It's so hot~"

"Cousin, are you okay?" Zhao Zhen also jumped up to check here and went forward to check it out. Li Shunrong next to him was also shocked. However, Li Zhang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, but his hand slipped accidentally, and the tea was sprinkled all over. Li Shunrong, do you have any clothes to change here?"

Li Zhang's last sentence seemed to be a casual question, but in fact he wanted to take the opportunity to let Zhao Zhen stay here for a while. After all, Li Shunrong finally finally met Zhao Zhen. I don't know what time it will take to meet next time?

"Yes! I... I have a nephew outside the palace, but I'm about the same size as you. Every year I make a piece of clothes for him, but I never have the chance to send them out." Li Shunrong said excitedly at this time. After saying that, he turned around and went back to get clothes for Li Zhang.

After a while, the clothes were taken back. Li Zhang took the clothes and went to the room next to change them. When he opened the neatly folded clothes, he realized that it was a royal blue long gown, but he was a little smaller on it. It was about the same figure as Zhao Zhen. It was probably what Li Shunrong prepared for Zhao Zhen. But she didn't dare to tell the truth just now, so she said that it was prepared for her nephew, but it was almost the same. Anyway, Li Zhang was her nephew.

Although the clothes are smaller, they are very comfortable to wear, and the needle corners are very tight, and there is no thread on the clothes, which is enough to show how much energy Li Shunrong spent when making this dress.

In addition, Li Zhang also knew that Li Shunrong probably hoped that the person who wore this dress was Zhao Zhen, but there were too many people around Zhao Zhen, and he usually had special people to serve him in food and clothing. If he had added a piece of clothing for no reason, it would definitely need to be recorded. This record would be seen by Liu E, so Li Zhang scattered tea on himself instead of Zhao Zhen.

Li Zhang changed his clothes and came to the hall again. Li Shunrong was chatting with Zhao Zhen with a smile on his face. Although Zhao Zhen was also polite, he always felt a sense of alienation. Although Li Zhang knew that this could not be blamed by Zhao Zhen, after all, for him, Li Shunrong was only one of his father's many concubines, so he felt a little embarrassed. However, looking at the expression of staying away on his face, Li Zhang couldn't help but want to beat him.

"Thank you, Li Shunrong. This dress is really good. I don't have a mother. The clothes at home are made by a sister. Her handicrafts are also good, but they are much worse than you." Li Zhang smiled and walked over to Li Shunrong and saluted.

"Your sister can already make clothes!" What Li Zhang never expected was that when Li Shunrong heard Li Zhang's words, she suddenly showed an excited expression, and then asked.

However, as soon as he said that, Li Shunrong felt that his words were a bit rash, and hurriedly covered them up: "No, I mean, judging from Li Bandu's age, your sister should be still young, it's amazing to make clothes at such a young age!"

"Haha~, Li Shunrong doesn't know that my real sister is called Li'er. She is indeed very young and now she can't eat anything. However, besides Li'er, I have several other sisters, who are only one or two years younger than me. They are adopted by me. They are all very capable. They either run a restaurant or a housekeeper, but I can't do anything. I can only study with Your Majesty." Although Li Zhang also felt a little strange about Li Shunrong's words, he didn't think much about it and replied with a smile.

"So that's it. Li Bandu is too modest. With a brother like you, your sister will definitely be very happy!" Li Shunrong murmured again at this time, with a complicated look flashing in her eyes. I don't know what she was thinking?

"It's getting late. Since there is nothing wrong with Li Shunrong here, then we will say goodbye!" At this moment, Zhao Zhen finally found the opportunity and stood up and said goodbye to Li Shunrong.

Hearing Zhao Zhen's words, although a look of reluctance flashed across Li Shunrong's face, he finally nodded and said, "Although the weather has become warmer recently, it is still quite cold. Your Majesty must take care of himself."

Li Shunrong reminded Zhao Zhen, then looked at Li Zhang and said again: "Li Bandu should also pay attention to his health. I have no one to give this outfit, so why not give it to Li Bandu. I hope Li Bandu will not dislike it!"

"Li Shunrong is so polite. I'm really hard to feel at ease when I first met." Li Zhang deliberately paused, then reached out to take something out of his arms and presented it with his hands, "Let's do this, give me a gift, and I'll give me a gift, this is the mirror I carry with me, which is stronger than an ordinary bronze mirror. Please accept it!"

When Li Zhang was giving the mirror, he deliberately took two steps forward so that he could use his body to block Zhao Zhen's view. When he put the mirror in both hands, he raised the thumb of his right hand and knocked the mirror three times as if a junior kowtowed to his elders.

After giving birth to Zhao Zhen, Li Shunrong was tolerated by Liu E. He was naturally a very intelligent woman. When he saw Li Zhang's actions, he was shocked and immediately realized that Li Zhang was giving a big gift to him with his fingers. In addition, the mirror given by Li Zhang was also likely to be secret.

Thinking of this, Li Shunrong couldn't help but get excited again, but on the surface she still covered up very well. She seemed to refuse a few words without caring about it, but after Li Zhang's repeated insistence, she finally took the mirror and put it carefully in her arms.

With the goal achieved, Li Zhang immediately took Zhao Zhen to say goodbye to Li Shunrong, because they had been here for a longer time than other concubines. If they stayed there, they might arouse others' suspicion.

Li Shunrong was also extremely smart. She did not try to keep her now, but sent them out of the gate in person. Then she returned to the hall and asked everyone else around to retreat. Only then did she take out the mirror that Li Zhang gave her.
