Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were stagnant in their steps, and Li Shimin's face turned dark as the color of the murderous night when the moon was dark and the wind was high.
"Good boy, why do you suddenly think of that boy?"
Li Mingda turned his head, looked at his father, smiled sweetly, and pointed at the lotus leaves in the pond.
"Dad, look, there are so many lotus leaves here. Grandpa Huang likes to eat lotus leaf chicken the most.
If brother Cheng San is here, wouldn't he be able to make lotus leaf chicken for Grandpa Huang?"
His own father, Li Shimin, looked at his daughter with dumbfounded eyes. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should exaggerate his love for his daughter's filial piety or persuade her not to keep thinking about the lotus leaf.
"My good girl, aren't you greedy too?" Empress Changsun squatted down dumbfounded and couldn't help joking.
"Just a little bit..." Li Mingda thought seriously, then stretched out his little finger and shook it with a little embarrassment.
"Well..." Empress Changsun and Li Shimin looked at each other. In the end, Li Shimin, who loved his daughter, scratched her daughter's little face lovingly.
"When your mother finishes appreciating the lotus leaves later, let's pick a few more lotus leaves and go back to make lotus leaf chicken for you, okay?"
"Mom, can you?" After hearing his father's words, Li Mingda turned his head and looked at his mother longingly.
Empress Changsun glared at her husband, who was grinning happily, and nodded helplessly.
"Okay, Mom agreed... Oops, be careful."
Li Mingda had already thrown himself into his mother's arms, kissed the eldest grandson Queen vigorously, and smiled extremely happily.
"Thank you mom, thank you dad. Grandpa and little Sizi both had lotus leaf chicken."
Next, the cheerful Li Mingda giggled and ran and jumped along the edge of the lotus pond. Zhao Kun quickly led two fat and strong guards to follow the footsteps of the apple of His Majesty's eye.
Li Shimin looked at his daughter's cheerful figure running around with a look of love and doting on his face, and smiled at his wife beside him.
"This little girl is obviously greedy, but she still knows how to use her grandfather as a shield."
The couple chatted and continued walking relaxedly, admiring the lotus pond that blooms in all seasons and this plant that survives the mud and remains unsullied.
On the side, Li Mingda looked curiously at the flowers and leaves in the lotus pond, as well as the fish swimming in the water.
Soon, her eyes lit up and she saw a stupid big turtle, half floating in the water.
"Guard Zhao, look, there is a big turtle there..."
Li Mingda quickly waved to the side and said quietly.
Zhao Kun quickly squatted down and looked in the direction pointed by Li Mingda's hand. Sure enough, he saw the spirit turtle in the pool and couldn't help but feel happy.
"Yes, Your Highness, that is a spirit turtle, very spiritual. It is said that this spirit turtle has lived for more than a hundred years."
When Li Mingda heard this, he couldn't help but widen his bright eyes exaggeratedly.
He quickly raised his hand to stop his mouth, as if he was afraid that speaking too loudly would scare the turtle.
"Wow... to live so long, doesn't that mean he will live longer than my grandfather?"
"Is it alive? Why isn't it moving?"
Zhao Kun laughed, nodded and replied.
"Of course this turtle is alive, otherwise it wouldn't be called a turtle."
"But it won't move..." Li Mingda stretched his neck and muttered in a worried voice.
After hearing what Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang said, Zhao Kun had an idea. "Your Highness, you want to see it move, right? Wait a moment..."
Zhao Kun rushed to the side and raised his fingers, and a guard understood the situation and went to the side to pick up a few small stones.
Then Zhao Kun picked up one of the pieces, took a look at it, raised his hand lightly, flicked his wrist, and saw a beautiful arc drawn by the pebble in his hand.
It fell on the back of the turtle that was half floating in the water.
Then, a sound like a miniature version of evening drums and morning bells echoed by the small lotus pond.
"???" Zhao Kun and the two guard brothers beside him all looked at the turtle that could make a miniature version of the dusk drum and morning bell in bewilderment.
"Huh? Where is the bell ringing?" Li Shimin looked around curiously.
Empress Changsun also looked at the place where the sound came from suspiciously.
"It's fun..." Li Mingda's eyes were bright. "It can bark! Guard Zhao, let it bark again."
Zhao Kun wiped his face and felt that his brain capacity was a bit lacking. Why did the turtle's cry sound like a miniature copper bell?
Could it be that it is really no longer an ordinary thing, but in the urging voice of Her Royal Highness the Princess on the side.
He could only pick up another stone and throw it over. With a thud, the echo even caused a slight ripple around the turtle's back...
"Here, is this the spirit turtle?" I don't know when, Li Shimin had already stood at the edge of the pool, staring blankly at the spirit turtle in the water.
He always felt something was wrong, but he remembered that although this turtle was not afraid of life, if someone disturbed it, it would still dive into the water and leave.
The important thing is that he never knew that this turtle could actually make a sound like a bell.
Could it be that this spirit turtle, who was mentioned by Emperor Wen of the previous Sui Dynasty, has undergone some kind of change?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Quick, hurry up and tell the master of Xuandu Temple to come see me quickly."
#####
After hearing His Majesty's call, the master of Xuandu Temple, who had been waiting outside the Lotus Garden, did not dare to neglect and walked quickly towards the garden.
He quickly arrived in front of His Majesty and bowed respectfully to His Majesty.
Then he saw the wise and powerful Emperor of the Tang Dynasty pointing to a certain location in the pond and asking him in a friendly manner.
"Master, why do I feel that this turtle is so unusual?"
"???" The leader of Xuandu Temple turned his head in confusion and looked towards the pool of water.
I saw the dull, lifeless turtle.
My heart suddenly felt a huge knot in my heart. What's wrong?
Then I heard the greeting from Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang. "Grandpa, why is this turtle's cry like a bell ringing?"
"Ring, ring the bell?" The leader of Xuandu Temple stared blankly at the jewel in His Majesty's palm, and his mind was in a mess at the moment.
Following Li Mingda's signal, Zhao Kun, who was also confused, used his precise throwing technique again, and a stone hit the turtle's back again.
The sound of a thud, like a miniature version of the dusk drum and morning bell, echoed again on the edge of the lotus pond.
Seeing the looks from Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, and Her Royal Highness the Princess, the master of the Xuandu Temple panicked.
Gritting his teeth, he pushed the golden mountain and worshiped the jade pillar and fell to his knees on the ground, and replied with fear.
"Your Majesty, I don't know... this turtle, when Cheng Taichang sent it back, he said that the turtle had taken the golden elixir that can make people become immortals..."
