Chapter 704: Mountain of Books... Do you believe that I am still studying and working hard on the sea? (Please subscribe and vote)
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Chubi and Li Ke, always feeling that the smiles of these two guys were very insincere, and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Just delivering delicious food? Why do I think you two are so sneaky?"
Cheng Chubi pointed to the food box he brought with some displeasure.
"My nephew, I was busy for a long time yesterday and made a new delicacy. I want to give it to the princess to try. Why are you so sneaky?"
"What kind of delicacy is it? Take it out for me to see?" Li Shimin's eyes fell on the food box, and he raised his chin towards Cheng Chubi and said.
"..." Cheng Chubi's face turned a little dark. It was obvious that everyone had already discussed the plan, but why did it happen to the emperor that something went wrong.
That's all, it wouldn't hurt to let him try it anyway. Cheng Chubi opened the drawer under the food box and took out a cone from inside.
Then I opened the top cover, and then opened the thick cloth used for heat insulation. It didn't take much effort.
A golden and crispy baked cone, with a dollop of light yellow ice cream mixed with preserved fruit in the middle, was handed to Li Shimin.
"Is this iced?" Li Shimin took the gradually cooling small plate and smelled the rich milk aroma, and he could actually smell the rich sweet scent of osmanthus.
Li Shimin seemed a little clumsy and held the cone with three fingers, brought it to his mouth, stuck out his tongue and licked it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Huh? You look a little ugly, but the taste is better than the Sushan in the palace."
"Book Mountain?" Cheng Chubi looked at Li Shimin with a confused expression. Do you believe that I am still studying hard and working hard like a boat in the sea?
Seeing Cheng Chubi's stunned look, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel happy and wanted to stick out his tongue. He seemed to think that this action was a bit too obscene, so he had to take a small bite.
"You don't know what Sushan is? That's right... If you knew, you wouldn't have this expression."
Li Chengqian saw Brother Chu Bi's expression, and immediately realized that Brother Chu Bi, who had a sharp mind, might have gone astray again, so he quickly explained.
"Brother Chu Bi, the Sushan my father mentioned is a delicious summer treat that has been passed down since ancient times. Su is a crispy cake, and mountain is a mountain of mountains and seas..."
"According to historical records, in ancient times, that is, during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, there were already officials like 'Ling Ren' who were responsible for the royal family's ice storage."
“Legend has it that Monarch Shang Tang employed more than ninety ‘lingren’, and their job was to mix flour, milk, spices and ice to relieve the heat.”
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, and he couldn't help but feel a little more appreciation in his eyes. He really didn't expect that Li Chengqian could even talk about such relatively obscure knowledge.
Seeing his father's gaze, Li Chengqian smiled sheepishly.
"When I was little, I went to Sushan Mountain to cool down because of the hot weather. Out of curiosity, I asked my teacher Li Zhengong for advice..."
After hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly realized, and couldn't help but recall this knowledgeable old minister who had served as the tutor to three princes and grand masters. Unfortunately, he left too early.
At this time, Li Shimin became interested and continued following the words of his eldest son Li Chengqian.
"And the reason why our country calls this summer-relieving delicacy Sushan is that the bottom layer of Sushan is covered with ice and topped with milk puff pastry.
It should be shaped like a mountain, and flowers and colorful trees should be inserted to highlight its elegance and beauty."
Cheng Chubi really wanted to take a look, but when he saw Li Ke devouring his food, his eyes lit up.
There was also the Crown Prince who was licking the ice cream gracefully and quickly. Cheng Chubi smiled confidently.
"This is great, but I don't know if it tastes as good as the ice cream I make."
"..." Li Shimin hated Cheng Sanlang's arrogant look, but he couldn't tell lies.
I could only glare angrily at this dumb little bastard, and continued to eat the entire ice cream, including the cone and the cone, by licking and biting it.
Then he smacked his mouth meaningfully, and he had to admit that although this thing didn't look good, the taste was really beautiful.
Cheng Chubi looked at the food appearance of the three father and son in the family, and he felt a sense of superiority. He was afraid that all the children of the Li family would have beer bellies in the future.
"Uncle, you and His Highness the Crown Prince are discussing national affairs. My nephew, I won't delay you any longer. Look..."
"Well, leave one more for me and Cheng Qian, and you can go wherever you like." Li Shimin waved his hand angrily.
Although I am not happy to meet this Cheng Sanlang, after all, I still have to try more delicious food.
Anyway, early summer is not far away, so eating more cold foods will help cool down the heat.
Cheng Chubi was not happy and bought two more ice cream cones and handed them to the two of them, and then left the Manna Hall.
But I didn't expect that Zhao Kun would take the initiative to see them off in person and send Cheng Chubi and Li Ke under the steps.
"The empress should be at the Li Zheng Palace, and His Highness should be there as well. Do you want me to take you there?" Zhao Kun intentionally or unintentionally touched the food box in Cheng Chubi's hand with his scabbard.
Cheng Chubi naturally knew the elegant meaning of Xiange after hearing it, so he quickly also played one for Zhao Kun, an experienced driver.
Zhao Kun, the head of the guard with a bearded face, stood there with a happy smile on his face, watching Cheng Chubi and Li Ke disappear into the distance.
I saw this fat and muscular guard with a hairy face holding the ice cream cone and licking it with his carrot-thick fingers.
That scene reminded Cheng Chubi of the video he saw on the Internet of a fat man holding a bottle with two fingers to drink water. The style was really too weird.

Cheng Chubi came outside the Li Zheng Hall and saw Wu Meiniang muttering about something with a few pretty young ladies.
One of the young ladies facing in this direction also saw Cheng Chubi and Wu Wang Li Ke, and quickly tugged at Wu Meiniang beside her.
"Mei Niang, who do you think is coming?"
Wu Meiniang turned her head and saw Cheng Sanlang waving his hand towards her. She subconsciously smiled brightly and raised her hand in response.
I felt something was wrong soon after, and hurriedly and several little sisters saluted in that direction in unison. "I have met His Highness King Wu, and the process is too common."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sweet and tender voice coming from inside. "Brother Cheng San is here?!"
Cheng Chubi could only look at Wu Meiniang with an apologetic look, and then followed Li Ke into the palace.
At this time, Wu Meiniang finally regained her composure, and suddenly felt that she was not too reserved. The last time Cheng Sanlang said that, he was clearly teasing her.
Then after I come back, haven't I already learned the hard way and must maintain my aloof image next time we meet?
Thinking of this, Wu Meiniang gave a high-five in annoyance. Damn it, she must have been stunned by Brother Cheng's overly bright smile just now, and she forgot that she should maintain her cold description.
