Chapter 68 Replenishing the Body

 Chapter 68 Replenishing the body

Zhang Yang took out the bones and split one end of the bones with a kitchen knife so that he could better suck out the bone marrow.

When the food was served, Li Yue sucked the marrow of the mutton bones. If it was too greasy, she took a bite of pickled radish to relieve the greasiness. It was a perfect combination.

Sheep bones not only nourish qi and blood, but also strengthen muscles and bones.

It's very suitable for the little daughter-in-law.

It is most suitable to eat in autumn and winter, but be careful not to get angry if you eat too much.

Seeing how hard she was sucking the bone marrow, her face turned red.

Li Yue said while eating: "I guess I won't be able to wear this year's clothes next year. I'll give Aunt Wang the spring and summer clothes and sell them. I can get some money in exchange."

Zhang Yang said: "You make the decisions regarding the financial power of the family."

Li Yue grinned.

Make clothes for each season, because it is in the fastest growth and development stage.

He is getting taller and taller.

This year's clothes won't be worn next year.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, a legend about soap spread among the ladies of Chang'an City.

Everyone wants a piece of soap. Among the ladies, those who buy it are very jealous, while those who don't buy it are eager to get rid of it.

The residence of the Prince of Wei.

Li Tai listened to the report from the attendant beside him and whispered: "So the queen mother already knows about selling soap?"

"Yes."

The attendant lowered his head and replied: "It is impossible to hide such a big movement. The Queen knew everything yesterday."

Li Tai took two steps in distress, and then said, "How did the Queen Mother react when she found out about this?"

"It is said that the queen didn't say anything."

"Nothing said?"

"right."

After thinking for a long time, Li Tai stamped his foot and said, "No!"

It would be fine if the queen mother could say a few words, but now she didn't say anything, and Li Tai became inexplicably nervous.

There was no expression of any kind, not even a single word was conveyed.

The queen mother is waiting for me to explain myself.

In the final analysis, this matter was about taking advantage of the queen mother.

Very serious consequences.

"Come here!" Li Tai shouted loudly.

Another guard came in a hurry, "What orders does His Highness, King Wei, have?"

Li Tai said: "Hurry and go to the workshop and bring all the ready-made soap to me."

"Here!"

An hour later, dozens of bars of soap were placed in front of me.

Li Tai took two yuan for each scent, and then took all the money he earned from selling soap with him.

Carrying money in one hand and a basket of soap in the other, Li Tai hurried to the palace.

I trotted to Chengtianmen, because the fat on the little fat face trembled as I ran.

I took a breath for a while in front of Chengtian Gate, and then hurried into the palace.

Arriving in front of the Li Zheng Hall, Li Taiping calmed his breathing, straightened his clothes, and walked into the hall.

At this moment, Queen Changsun was writing quietly.

Li Tai saluted and said: "Mother."

Empress Changsun didn't even raise her head, and said in a low voice: "Qingque, at this time you should be supervising the class at Guozi. What are you doing here?"

Li Tai gently placed the money and soap on the table beside him, and then stood aside silently.

It was as if he was already waiting for his mother's advice.

After writing a line of words, Empress Changsun picked up the brush and dipped some ink into it and continued writing, ignoring the money and soap beside her.

It was very quiet inside the Li Zheng Hall.

Li Tai wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at his mother quietly.

After an hour, Queen Changsun finished writing an article, put down the pen in her hand, and her eyes finally fell on the money and soap.

Looking at Li Tai's expression again, Queen Changsun whispered: "You must be tired after standing for so long."

Before Li Tai could reply, Queen Changsun said to the maid on the side: "Give me a seat."

"My sons and ministers are not tired."

"Aren't you tired?" Queen Changsun's tone was a little higher.

"My son, I'm really not tired." After Li Tai finished speaking, he pursed his lips in aggrieved expression.

Looking at her son's appearance, Empress Changsun said: "What's going on with all the money and soap?"

Li Tai replied: "There is still plenty of soap, so I sent it to my mother. I also earned the money."

Queen Changsun said again: "Really? You earn quite a lot."

There was some surprise in the Queen's tone. This surprise was intentional. In fact, the Queen knew everything that happened yesterday.

Li Tai bowed again and said: "My son should not hide the soap business from his mother, my son..."

Seeing that Li Tai expressed his position in a timely manner, it is quite positive to admit his mistake like this.

Empress Changsun said: "Queen Zao accepted it. You earned this money. You can take it back."

You can't take this, you can't take anything.

Li Tai sniffed and then said: "I think that my father and mother live a simple life and have always been diligent and thrifty. I want to earn some money to give to my father and mother."

Empress Changsun looked at her son with interest, "So, as a mother, I still need to thank you for your son?"

The words were not loud, but Li Tai could hear the undertones, and said with a pale face: "I don't dare!"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

The tone sounded very light, but the aura revealed made the palace maids nearby not dare to breathe loudly.

Finally, under the direct gaze of Empress Changsun, Li Tai couldn't hold on any longer and knelt on the ground with a thud. He said with choked sobs and regret, "Mother, I know I was wrong. I will tell you everything."

Empress Changsun then put her gaze away and said, "Go ahead."

Li Tai told the whole story of the incident, and even revealed Zhang Yang, including the subsequent plan to sell soap.

After vomiting out all the words in his stomach, Li Tai was already weak.

The Queen Mother seems to have a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts.

Li Tai didn't dare to raise his head.

"Okay, sit down for a while."

Queen Changsun's tone finally returned to normal.

Li Tairu was pardoned, took the small stool handed by the palace maid, and sat aside.

Knowing the origin and process of the soap business, Empress Changsun held her temples and thought about what kind of person Yue'er's husband was.

After a while, Li Shimin came with Li Chengqian.

What Li Tai did was even more difficult to hide from Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at Li Tai who was sitting on the small bench with an aggrieved look on his face.

Empress Changsun told Li Shimin what had happened. Seeing that Li Tai admitted his mistake promptly, she also handed over the soap and money.

Li Shimin's expression softened a lot, "Can't you learn from Cheng Qian?"

"My son..."

"I will talk to you about the soap business later. From now on, you stay at the Political Palace and copy these words to me a hundred times!"

After speaking, Li Shimin threw a roll of bamboo slips in front of Li Tai.

Li Tai opened the bamboo slip and frowned at the content on it: "Nothing is difficult in the world, only for those who are willing. Don't wait for a while, and your young head will turn gray. Is it empty to be sad?"

"How like your imperial brother, study hard!" Li Shimin suddenly cursed again, frightening Li Tai to death.
