Chapter 120: Relatives in King Chus eyes! Xiao Sizi is such a treasure!
Li Shimin quickly took it.
The eyes of Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and Li Junxian were immediately locked on it.
An exquisite U-shaped iron ring.
There is a row of small holes on it, and iron nails will be driven through these holes to fix the horseshoe.
The horseshoe itself is not heavy.
But the craftsmanship is extremely ingenious.
It can be said that it completely coincides with the horse's hoof.
So, put the horseshoe on the horse's hoof...
Awesome!
It’s really a god!
"Old sir, I will borrow this horseshoe for a few days. I will definitely return it to you when the time comes."
Li Shimin couldn't put it down and said excitedly.
He wanted to use this horseshoe as a sample to manufacture, produce, and spread it to the entire Tang army.
"Yes, old housekeeper, we will definitely change him back." Changsun Wuji hurriedly agreed.
"It won't take long." Du Ruhui nodded heavily.
They are anxious!
The old man glanced at them and said helplessly: "You can do what you want. This is His Highness's, not mine. If you want to take it away, I can't stop you."
"Thank you, old housekeeper!!"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows with joy and shouted hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, please don't offend me. If you want to thank me... please go and thank Your Highness. I cannot bear your Majesty's gratitude."
After the old man said that, he sat to one side and started playing with the little Sizi.
Li Shimin smiled sarcastically.
But his hand was honest and he kicked the horseshoe directly into his arms.
This thing is so important.
It can be said to be related to national strength.
"Your Majesty, let's continue..."
Cheng Yaojin pursed his chapped lips and his eyes flickered.
As a military general, he has never had much desire to explore, but the Chu Palace is so different. The things here... everyone alive should pay attention!!
And now.
Now that you’ve got the horseshoe, isn’t it time to take a look at it?
Cheng Yaojin now felt extremely swollen.
The food, the ice room, and the horseshoe can be said to have ignited a blazing fire in his heart.
Damn it!
He had never looked forward to it so much!
Li Shimin nodded, stood up, and bowed his hands towards the old man in embarrassment.
"Old sir, you go ahead and do your work first. I'll just walk around here and take a look around."
Even though Li Shimin is thick-skinned, he can't hold on anymore.
Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and the others also nodded and bowed with Xiaojia.
I don't know why, but they felt a little fond of this old man.
This is the reverence of the younger generation for their elders.
This is the obedience of the younger generation to the elders.
This is the trouble of the younger generation against the elders.
In front of the old man, their so-called emperor and duke status are not easy to use, and they always feel that they are inferior to the old man.
I have never felt this feeling before.
Before, I would never have felt this way when talking to ordinary people and old people.
but now……
This old man is really different.
The old man nodded and replied: "This is within the palace. Your Majesty has the final say. However, Queen, it's getting late now. It's time to go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion for dinner. How about you take the two princesses to have dinner?"
"
"I have been searching all morning, and His Highness Xiao Sizi has also been playing all morning. His stomach has long been deflated. The child is no better than His Majesty and others, so he cannot be hungry anymore."
The old man said.
Is it time for dinner?
Queen Changsun glanced upward, and sure enough, the great sun had already reached due south.
It was okay not to say it, but she also felt a little hungry.
Princess Changle and Xiao Sizi both looked at her. Obviously, they were both hungry.
"Okay, listen to the old gentleman."
Queen Changsun nodded lightly.
"Queen, two princesses, please." The old man said with a smile.
"Wow! It's time to eat, hehe, I was exhausted from looking for things this morning, Sizi wants to have a big meal!!"
Little Sizi clapped her little hands and shouted excitedly.
She was really hungry.
Of these people, she was the one who cared most about food when she was young, and she was also the one who was the most troubled. She was not idle all morning.
"Ahem..."
"Um...well, old gentleman, let's have a meal first. I want to eat before we see..."
suddenly.
Li Shimin also had ideas about eating, and was a little embarrassed.
How could he miss the meal at Prince Chu's Mansion?
The last time I served for the King of Chu was something I will never forget for the rest of my life.
It’s several times better than the hot pot at Chuhe Restaurant outside!!
Not to mention the cold beer.
so.
Can’t miss it, must try it!!
"Yes, yes, it's getting late. Old sir, let's have dinner first and then look at other things." Changsun Wuji quickly agreed.
"Old sir, I don't know how good today's meal is at Prince Chu's Mansion. Gudong... well, let's take a bite first to cushion our stomachs." Du Ruhui couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he spoke.
Too awesome!
The last time they ate at Prince Chu's Mansion, it was a blast!!
I don’t know what else is delicious in Chu Prince’s Mansion today.
Cheng Yaojin didn't speak, but he was already standing at the front, even next to Xiao Sizi, and his attitude said everything.
His Majesty and others were looking forward to it so much, and he also wanted to try the food at Prince Chu's Mansion.
I hope the surprises it brings can be as shocking as the underground palace food, horseshoes, etc. just now.
The old man exhaled, clasped his hands behind his back, raised his steps slightly and walked forward.
"If you want to eat, please come with me, but... Your Majesty, our Chu Prince's Mansion generally does not have special meals. Everyone eats the same."
"You didn't say you wanted to have dinner at Prince Chu's Mansion before, so... I didn't ask my servants to prepare it specially."
The old man said a little embarrassed.
As he spoke, he shook his head slightly.
Even though I have cultivated myself for so many years, I am really left speechless by people like Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji.
You are really thick-skinned!!
Eat and take!
Your Majesty, why are they all like this?!
I had never heard of them having such a personality before.
"Yes, yes, it doesn't matter. There is no need to make special preparations. As long as you can satisfy your hunger, it will be fine."
"……."
Li Shimin and the others lifted up their robes and followed happily.
On the road.
Li Shimin secretly picked up the little Sizi who was walking arrogantly.
"Ah, what are you doing, Father? Si Zi can leave on his own."
The little Sizi was held in the air, a little dissatisfied, and kept tossing in the air with his mouth open.
"Don't make trouble, little Si. Father, I have something to talk to you about."
Li Shimin laughed, his eyes full of doting at his precious daughter's mischief.
"Ah, Sizi, let's save our anger towards our father first. My father said, I have something to tell Sizi."
Xiao Sizi's face became calm but cute.
Save your anger.
It was the King of Chu who taught her.
Sometimes the King of Chu was too happy to miss Shu. If he went fishing too late, he would forget the existence of his silly little sister.
After returning to Prince Chu's Mansion, Xiao Sizi was naturally very angry.
Every time this time.
The King of Chu would always say to save his life, let’s eat the delicious fish first. The little Sizi was tempted by the delicious food, so he obeyed the King of Chu’s arrangement.
After eating the delicious fish and filling his belly with delicious food, the little Sizi, who was still a child, naturally forgot about his anger, and even disappeared long ago.
"That's right. We were in the courtyard just now. Why did you suddenly run out and stand in front of your father?!"
Li Shimin's eyes were soft.
Just now the big horse rushed towards him, but my precious daughter did not hesitate at all and stood in front of him.
This shocked Li Shimin at that time, and he was so stunned that he did not protect Xiao Sizi immediately.
Fortunately, Da Ma likes Xiao Sizi, so it will not cause a big disaster.
"This is what my second brother taught Sizi."
Li Shimin:......
Okay, okay, it's Kuan'er again.
One day I will kill him!!
Li Shimin was jealous again.
"What did Kuan'er teach you?"
Li Shimin asked again.
"Hmm... I forgot, Si Zi, think about it."
Little Sizi put his hand on his chin, thinking crazily, his eyes lit up for a while, and he said in a sweet voice: "Father, I remember, my second brother protected Sizi when he shot the tiger. After that, the tiger was scared.
, but Sizi cried so miserably, wuwuwu, father, Sizi was frightened at the time, and he didn’t just cry when something happened."
"Si Zi will not cry easily when he grows up!!"
Li Shimin was instantly amused by his cute daughter and said with a smile: "Father, I understand, little Sizi, please continue."
Little Sizi suddenly beamed with joy: "Hehe, good! At that time, no matter how the second brother comforted Sizi, Sizi was crying."
"Then, the second brother held Sizi in his arms and said, silly sister, next time you encounter danger, there will be a second brother, and the second brother will always stand in front of you. This is a relative."
"Real... relatives."
When Li Shimin heard this, he suddenly felt mixed feelings in his heart.
He couldn't help but think of some bad memories, such as Xuanwumen...
Shake your head and don't think about it anymore.
"Wow, father, you don't even know that the second brother's words at that time warmed Sizi to death, so Sizi remembers it very clearly."
"Today, when my father is in danger, Si Zi will naturally come out to protect him. Hehe, who made my father a relative of Si Zi? If Si Zi doesn't protect you, who else will protect my father?"
Xiao Sizi said very proudly, proud of himself for standing up at that time.
She really has no regrets at all and doesn't consider the consequences if she is hit by a big horse.
She only knew that she had to protect her loved ones.
"Xiao Sizi......"
Li Shimin was moved to tears by the warmth, and his eyes were red.
Can't help it.
He hugged the little Sizi tightly again. For this little guy, Li Shimin felt that he would have no complaints even if he faced the whole world.
This treasure is the treasure of his life, Li Shimin.
Anyone who bullies my precious daughter, Xiao Sizi, will at least get a slap in the face!!
Such a loving scene between father and daughter was seen by Empress Changsun and Princess Changle behind her, and they couldn't help but smile.
…….….…….……
Keep walking all the way.
Finally arrived at the place to eat.
The place where people in the Prince of Chu's palace ate was in a side courtyard.
However, the old man still arranged a room.
Although no other meals were specially prepared, Li Shimin's eldest grandson, Empress Li, and the others had noble status after all. They were the lord and queen of a country.
Others are also of prominent status.
If he eats with his servants in the same room, it seems that the Prince of Chu's palace does not understand etiquette.
Everyone sat down.
Soon, a servant from Prince Chu's Mansion came in with a bowl of Kuai Zi.
Put them one by one on the table.
The old man smiled and tapped the edge of the pot with his hand.
"Your Majesty, the Queen, and all of you, you came unexpectedly. We haven't had any distinguished guests here for a long time. I really couldn't find so many plates at that time."
"How about... let's just make do with a meal like this first? This pot is filled with boiled vegetables. I'll wait for one person to eat a bowl, which will be enough to satisfy our hunger."
The old man stood up, stirred the food in the pot with a spoon, and said with a smile.
The steam is steaming.
Fragrance overflowing!!
Li Shimin sniffed it vigorously, nodded hurriedly, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, no problem, I'll leave it to the old gentleman to arrange it."
"Your Majesty, please bring your bowl first," the old man said.
Li Shimin quickly brought the bowl over and filled the empty bowl with two large spoons.
Meat, vegetables, soup.
This bowl has everything.
Li Shimin brought it over carefully, and then picked up a big cake, feeling his stomach growling.
Although the food was simple, when he was marching and fighting, the food he sometimes ate was worse than this. Meat would have been good, so Li Shimin tasted nothing strange.
This taste...
Even though the food may seem a bit plain and simple, it tastes really good.
Li Shimin couldn't help but talk.
Think about the meals in the palace. Although each one is more beautiful than the other, they are definitely not as delicious as this one.
The taste is definitely far different!!
Empress Changsun, Changsun Wuji and the others also had a full bowl.
In particular, Cheng Yaojin, the rice bowler, kept packing the rice into a bowl. One bowl was almost as much as two bowls for the others.
"Eat, everyone, if there is not enough, please add more. I have already ordered the chef to continue cooking, so there is still a lot in the kitchen."
The old man also served himself a bowl.
He picked up a piece of flatbread, tore some into pieces, soaked them in the soup, and ate them with big mouthfuls.
Li Shimin couldn't help it anymore. He picked up a big dish and ate it in one bite.
Bah, bah, bah...
The mouth moves.
The soup flows across the river.
The big cake also imitated the old man's action just now, put it in the bowl, dipped it in the soup, and then took a big bite.
This taste is amazing!!
For a moment, the room was filled with the sound of "sucking, sucking, sucking" and drinking soup.
No one spoke.
Because I didn’t even bother to talk anymore.
The mouth is full of food.
"Hiss... Huh..."
Li Shimin made a sound of satisfaction.
How long has it been?
The full bowl of rice was already half eaten by him.
"Old sir, what kind of meat is this? It's so fragrant!"
"The whole body is fat but not greasy, and the lean meat part is also delicious, so delicious! When mixed with these soups, I really feel like my soul is shaking!!"
Li Shimin rubbed his belly and took another big bite of meat while talking.
Mouth full of oil.
…….….…….…
p: I’ve been writing a lot lately, maybe it’s related to the Chinese New Year. The person who was added in the first few pictures is Cheng Yaojin, not Li Junxian.
I said that the more I write, the more something is wrong. Friends, this has been changed.
