Li Chengqian's cowering look really made Li Shimin feel distressed and funny.
But a strict father is a strict father.
Li Shimin said with a straight face: "Come here and lie down."
Li Chengqian glanced at Li Shimin, didn't dare to make any more moves, and crawled to the bed and lay down.
Li Shimin sat by the bed and took the ointment bottle from Qing Ci's hand, and carefully helped Li Chengqian apply it on the injured area.
Although his hands are rough and sometimes hurt Li Chengqian.
But he was already very attentive in helping his son get the medicine.
A father would never say he was wrong, especially an emperor.
Li Shimin was both a father and an emperor, so even if he knew he was wrong, he would not admit it.
But he will use his own performance to make Li Chengqian feel the tenderness that belongs only to his father.
After applying the medicine, Li Shimin took another bottle of the same medicine from the attendant and handed it to Qingci.
Later, Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian: "The imperial chefs in the palace have trained well in your house, so I have decided to invite the founding fathers to a banquet in a few days. You can come with me."
After speaking, Li Shimin took the people away directly.
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin's back, feeling helpless.
If I had known this, why would you hit me?
"Ouch, it hurts me so much."
Li Chengqian was lying on the bed and said pitifully: "Sister Qinghe, I'm hungry."
"This slave will go and order food for His Highness."
After saying this, Qinghe ran out of the room in a hurry.
Then Li Chengqian looked at Qingci again, pouted and said: "Sister Qingci, it hurts..."
Qingci stretched out her hand to gently rub the injured area, and evenly spread the ointment that Li Shimin had not spread evenly.
Seeing the pitiful look of Li Chengqian lying on the bed, Qingci pursed her lips and said, "Your Highness, please don't do this next time."
"Sometimes, it is better to explain many things clearly to His Majesty."
Qing Ci also knew that the beating His Highness received today was very unfair.
But after all, she was just a maid given to His Highness by the Queen, and she couldn't say anything else.
Can only be simple I just want to remind my little master.
Li Chengqian pouted and said dissatisfied: "I know how to carry it, so why should I tell him?"
"The most annoying thing is Fang Xuanling. When he saw me being beaten, he didn't say anything to stop me."
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian became furious and gritted his teeth and said, "I remember this lesson."
When he said this, Li Chengqian suddenly thought of something.
Li Chengqian looked back at Qingci: "Sister Qingci, I remember that old guy Fang Xuanling is afraid of his wife, right?"
Although Qingci is less than three years older than Li Chengqian, she has lived in the palace all year round and has heard a lot of news in this regard.
However, she didn't understand why Li Chengqian asked this.
"I have heard that Mr. Fang is afraid of his wife..."
"As long as you've heard of it."
Without waiting for Qing Ci to speak, Li Chengqian jumped up from the bed, holding his waist with his hands, smiling and arrogant.
He had already thought of a brilliant strategy to deal with Fang Xuanling.
But before that, you still need to take good care of your butt.
In the next few days, Fang Xuanling did not come to teach him.
First, because Li Chengqian had just been beaten and it was difficult to even get up.
Secondly, of course Fang Xuanling was too embarrassed to come.
After all, the beating Li Chengqian received had absolutely something to do with him.
Five days later, Li Shimin held a banquet in the palace and invited all the founding fathers to the palace for the banquet.
In the evening, Li Chengqian also entered the banquet with the support of Xiao Chuzi.
This palace banquet was not only to reward the founding fathers, but also because Li Shimin wanted to show off his imperial chef.
After the imperial chef in the palace learned cooking techniques from Zhao Shi in Li Chengqian's mansion, his skills improved a lot.
Especially after Li Shimin robbed the chicken essence from Li Chengqian's house,
Seasonings such as pepper take it to the next level.
With Li Shimin's personality, he was bound to give in, so he chose today.
After the founding fathers sat down one after another, Li Shimin picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Without you, the Tang Dynasty would not be what it is today, so don't be polite, just eat and drink."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All the ministers picked up their wine glasses and drank with Li Shimin.
The standard for state banquets in the Tang Dynasty was that each person had a table and a futon to sit on.
According to the etiquette, one should kneel down on the futon and not move around at will. As for pouring wine and picking up food, the maid at your side will serve you.
Of course, this kind of ritual system could not be carried out normally in the early Tang Dynasty.
After all, among the founding fathers there were such eclectic figures as Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong.
As Li Shimin waved his hand, the maids in the palace came dressed in colorful clothes and came from outside carrying food boxes. They placed the dishes in the food boxes on the small square table in front of the ministers one by one.
After the dishes were placed, the beautiful maid did not leave. She knelt down at the table and poured wine and food for the minister behind the table.
When seeing these dishes, many ministers had doubts on their faces.
Cheng Yaojin was the first to speak: "As expected of the royal chef in the palace, I, Old Cheng, have never even seen this dish."
After saying that, he picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
For a moment, Cheng Yaojin's expression was just like Li Shimin's expression when he ate the catfish stewed with eggplant.
Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, is this mutton?"
When he said this, his face was filled with disbelief.
"certainly."
Li Shimin was very satisfied with his reaction: "These are ordinary mutton and fish meats. Let's all use them. Don't be cautious."
This time, everyone was no longer restrained and started to move one after another.
Almost everyone's expression changed after taking the first bite.
They looked at each other, and their thoughts were surprisingly the same.
Is this really ordinary lamb?
Then everything I ate before was all fake. mutton?
When the expressions of these people fell into Li Chengqian's eyes.
Li Chengqian only had one idea in his mind.
Just ate mutton stir-fried with green onions and it became like this?
I really have never seen the world.
Cheng Yaojin was still the first to stand up: "Your Majesty, I have an unkind request."
"Duke Lu wants to say that the cooks in your palace should learn from my royal chef?"
"hey-hey."
Cheng Yaojin smiled dryly: "I don't know whether your majesty will allow it or not."
When he said this, almost all the ministers in the room looked at Li Shimin expectantly.
Obviously, they also want their own cooks to come and learn.
Li Shimin chuckled in his heart.
Didn’t he learn from Li Chengqian’s little eunuch as a cook?
"It's better to learn from my imperial chef than go find Gan'er."
"Your Highness?"
Cheng Yaojin looked puzzled.
"Don't hide anything from your beloved."
Li Shimin then looked at Li Chengqian and said, "These dishes were created by Qian'er and taught to his cooks. Even my imperial chef learned from his cook."
"If Duke Lu wants to learn, he should go to Qian'er."
After saying that, he looked at Li Chengqian with extremely doting eyes.
When he saw Li Shimin's eyes, Li Chengqian couldn't help but shudder.
What's going on with me?
Did he change his gender because he beat himself up?
According to his personality, shouldn't he take all the credit on himself?
After hearing Li Shimin's words, everyone looked at Li Chengqian expectantly.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian pretended not to hear and went to eat alone.
Everyone looked back angrily.
Start competing with the delicious food on your table.
While they were eating and drinking, Li Chengqian secretly crawled up to Cheng Yaojin.
