Chapter 22 Sweet and sour pork ribs, the old man’s helplessness
"Ah?!"
Little Sizi's eyes instantly lit up, even the two beautiful ponytails behind her little head were slightly touched.
But when he saw Li Shimin's smile gradually blooming, he put his hands on his hips and turned his little head aside proudly.
"Hmph~ My father is so happy, are you trying to harm your second brother? Then Si Zi won't do it!!"
"If you think about it carefully, your father is too attentive. He always wants to let Si Zi pass. He must have a bad idea. Si Zi is smart enough to not listen to his evil father and try to harm his second brother!!"
Li Shimin's smile paused.
Made it myself...
Is it that obvious?!
Li Shimin is actually a master of expression control. After all, he is the emperor, so he has this ability.
But when facing his innocent daughter, he just wants to treat her with the most sincere attitude.
If we also use the chaotang set, the appearance and the duplicity will be different.
Li Shimin will only feel that he has tarnished the father-daughter relationship between him and Xiao Sizi.
"Uh... little Sizi, as long as you promise my father, my father will ask the imperial kitchen to make your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs for lunch, how about it?!"
Sweet and sour pork ribs were invented by Li Kuan.
The taste is unique, the amber oil is bright and sweet but not greasy.
It is a dish that both he and Xiao Sizi like.
Especially Xiao Sizi.
I almost like it to the point of eating the bone marrow, but its production is too expensive. In addition, the Tang treasury is now empty, and the victims were hungry before the day before yesterday.
Little Sizi held her hands in front of her little mouth, her saliva was drooling, and her little eyes were almost twinkling with little stars.
Tick tock...
Tick tock...
The saliva actually landed on Li Shimin's dragon robe.
"Wait, that's not right! Sizi can't help his bad father because of sweet and sour pork ribs. This will make his second brother sad!!"
Xiao Sizi stubbornly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with a determined look on his face.
"Really? If you take one bite of that sweet and sour pork ribs, your second brother said that even gods would be greedy. And that sauce..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Father, stop talking, stop talking, please stop talking, Sizi is greedy, I can't help you anymore.!!"
Xiao Sizi bowed to the evil forces unsatisfactorily.
Li Shimin suddenly felt full of guilt. In order to coax his daughter to go to Kuan'er, he did everything possible. How could he become the most annoying person before?!
But when I think of the huge grain the day before yesterday, and the Luban Suo and Bamboo Brands yesterday.
Everything...
It's all worth it!!
Li Shimin kept hypnotizing himself.
"Then Father, please thank our Sizi. Go and play at your second brother's place. Don't be burdened with anything. Just do what you like."
Patting the little guy on the shoulder was like turning on the little guy's sprint switch, and the little Sizi ran out immediately.
On the way, he didn’t forget to remind Li Shimin to prepare sweet and sour pork ribs. He also said that he would ignore his father after he deceived him, and he would also write him down in his notebook.
Li Shimin was amused.
Why is my daughter so cute?
The boredom of dealing with political affairs yesterday felt like it was gone.
Looking at the little Sizi running further and further away, with several guards hurriedly following him, Li Shimin couldn't take his eyes away, and his voice became majestic.
"Li Junxian."
Li Junxian immediately stepped out of the queue, lowered his head and held his hands in his hands: "Your Majesty, the general is here!!"
"Guanyin Maid asked you to follow Xiao Sizi out. She must have her reasons. Go ahead and follow Xiao Sizi. Don't let anything happen to my daughter."
Li Junxian has the answer to Empress Changsun’s arrangements.
It’s about the tiger last night!!
The tiger almost ate the little princess and woke up the Changsun Queen from her sleep. Even after half a year, she still has lingering fears.
But now King Chu is not in the palace, so Queen Changsun sent him to protect the little Sizi at all times.
"The last general takes orders!!"
Li Junxian, who knew all the reasons, quickly followed up with the little Sizi in front.
With Li Junxian's protection, Li Shimin feels more at ease.
Today,
He originally wanted to accompany Xiao Sizi to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, but he had no choice because there were too many political matters at hand.
The problem of disaster victims is almost solved.
But the damage caused by locusts doesn’t stop there.
The locusts are raging, destroying all the edible food in the teacher's sight, and at the same time making the entire land deserted.
Nowadays, large areas of northern land are uncultivated and increasingly desolate.
What to plant? How to plant? How to get people to plant?
They are all huge problems.
………………
Prince Chu's Mansion.
The old man's face turned dark, and he looked at the little Sizi helplessly.
"Your Highness, little princess, you are here again."
Little Sizi smiled and said: "Hehe, yes, old man! Sizi has to go to the basement today!!"
When the old man heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Still going?!
Oh my god, I still want to go!!!
Your Highness, little princess, oh, please don’t bring me to death!!
In just two days, both Juliang and Luban Suo were discovered.
Two huge treasures were lost from the Chu Palace.
If King Chu knew about this...
The old man covered his forehead, feeling that his end was approaching.
Although the King of Chu looks cheerful, heartless, and messy like a dead fish on the surface, who knows what he is thinking in his heart?!
"Your Highness, little princess, it's better to say goodbye. His Highness King Chu has not returned home today. When he comes back, I will send someone to inform you as soon as possible. How about that?!"
The old man was obviously very reluctant to let Xiao Sizi in.
"Ah, old man... but-"
Being shut out, the little Sizi looked like a child who had done something wrong. He lowered his head and pointed his index fingers with his hands.
"Si Zi has promised his father that he will go to the basement today..."
The tone is getting weaker and weaker.
As if he was about to cry at any time.
The old man was very frightened. The King of Chu was the ultimate sister-controller. If he knew that he had scared his sister to tears, he would not be able to live with it.
"Ahem, your Royal Highness, little princess, since you have agreed to your majesty, then come with me. I will be with you the whole time today."
The old man thought to himself that he would follow along, and there were some sensitive places that the little Sizi would not be allowed to set foot on, so that was alright, right?
"Ah, thank you, old man! You are so good, I want to hug you!!"
Little Sizi stretched out her arms, eager for a hug.
The old man was infected by this innocent and romantic smile, but he also knew that he was over fifty and could not bear his broken body to tarnish this purity, so he stepped away decisively after a quick hug.
Next.
The old man led Xiao Sizi, her guards and maids, a total of eight people, into the basement.
Today.
The basement is as lively as ever, with Jin Wuwei everywhere carrying food.
When those Jinwu guards saw Xiao Sizi, they would subconsciously greet Xiao Sizi with the honorific title.
After wandering around for a while, little Sizi didn't find anything. The old man breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "How is it? Your Highness, little princess, this place is too dark and humid, has no sun, and is depressing. Isn't it fun?!"
Little Sizi supported him and said arrogantly: "No! Old man, Sizi just saw it. There is a place that is so strange and strange!!"
