Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

The next day, Li Xin went to the palace to meet Li Shimin as usual. Li Shimin originally planned to praise him for the health regulations and sutures, but now he was worried about whether Li Xin was being used by someone, so he didn't mention it at all.

Two cups of sencha were served inside. Li Shimin picked it up and took a sip, narrowing his eyes enjoying it. Li Xin watched this scene speechlessly, frowned imperceptibly, and then pushed the teacup in front of him a little farther away.

Sencha in the Tang Dynasty was not the kind of tea that later generations generally recognized, but a beverage obtained by adding salt, cinnamon, ginger and even various spices as seasonings to ordinary tea. Looking at the oily flowers floating on the turbid tea soup, you can tell that there may be some mutton oil added in it. Just imagining the taste of this thing, which is comparable to pot water, is enough to make you feel dizzy. People retching.

In Li Xin's eyes, this is simply worse than eight-treasure porridge. How can it be called an elegant and fresh "tea", it is simply two things that cannot be beaten together, okay? If you want Li Xin to drink this thing, it is better to let him die directly.

Li Shimin was enjoying his fried tea. Seeing that Li Xin hadn't touched it all this time, he asked strangely, "Why don't you drink it? The tea ceremony master in the palace specially prepared it."

Return the tea ceremony master. Save yourself.

After all, Li Shimin appreciates this tea so much, Li Xin would not say that this tea is rubbish in front of him, so he shirks that he has a bad appetite and bitter taste in the past two days, so he doesn't want to drink tea.

Li Shimin smiled, and said along the way: "The maidservant Guanyin also has a bad appetite these two days, and can't eat anything."

Empress Changsun is sick?

The gentle and majestic face of Empress Changsun suddenly appeared in Li Xin's mind. Perhaps it was influenced by the original Li Xin, when he thought of this person, Li Xin felt a strong sense of intimacy.

To some extent, Li Xin was also quite unlucky. He was an orphan in his previous life, but he didn't expect his parents to die in this life. The only thing that is better than the previous life is that in this life, although he has no blood relationship, he still treats him very well, not worse than his biological parents, that is, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

Therefore, when he heard Li Shimin say that Empress Changsun was not feeling well these two days, he immediately became a little nervous.

"Is the empress seriously ill?" Li Xin asked immediately.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "It's not serious. The imperial doctor said that it might be due to some cold, which caused loss of appetite. Rest for a few days and it will be fine."

Li Xin shook his head and said: "Then how can I do it? The empress's health is not very good, it is time to take advantage of autumn to nourish and nourish her body, how can she not eat because of this disease? When winter comes It's cold, what should I do if she suffers from asthma again?"

Empress Changsun has always suffered from asthma, which often occurs in winter and spring, and the imperial doctors are helpless every time she has an attack, they can only prescribe some decoctions that do not help, and let her lie on the bed to rest by the way. In his memory, Li Xin has seen Empress Changsun lying on the bed panting several times, even now recalling it, it is still very distressing.

Seeing Li Xin's serious face, Li Shimin's expression flashed with astonishment for a moment.

It's true that Empress Changsun has been in poor health, but she hasn't had any discomfort in the past two days. Li Shimin just took Li Xin's words casually, hoping to use this to stir up the topic and facilitate the meeting between Li Xin and Empress Changsun. Unexpectedly, Li Xin would be so worried and anxious when he heard that Empress Changsun was not in good health.

Li Shimin's heart warmed up, but then he felt a little guilty. He always felt that it was not very good to deceive the child like this, and he felt like he was taking advantage of his filial piety. But he is an emperor after all, so he quickly adjusted his mentality.

This is also for Xin'er's sake. If he is really used by others, it is also his protection to solve it as soon as possible

Of course Li Xin doesn't know Li Shimin's rich inner drama at the moment. All he knew was that the woman he regarded as his mother was sick. In reason and reason, he should visit.

Logically speaking, a prince like Li Xin cannot come and go in and out of the harem at will, but he is an exception after all, and all treatment is no different from that of a prince. So Li Shimin waved his hand casually, and a servant came forward and took Li Xin to the queen's bedroom.

Li Shimin looked at Li Xinyuan's back, and shook his head with a gratified and complicated smile.

It's going well here, and the rest is up to Guanyin's maidservant.

The queen's bedroom is in the Lizheng Hall behind the Taiji Hall. Li Xin followed the servant through the corridor to the outside of the Lizheng Hall. The servant elongated his tone, and said in a voice that made goosebumps all over his body: "His Royal Highness, King Chu, please see me."

After a long time, Gong'e's voice came from the hall, saying, "Come in."

So Li Xin stepped into the Lizheng Hall. The Lizheng Palace is the largest building in the harem complex. This is to show the identity of the queen mother, but due to the empty treasury in the past two years, the Lizheng Palace has not been renovated for a long time. It's very grand, but the condition inside can't be said to be dilapidated, it can only be said to be a little old.

Empress Changsun was sitting in front of a low table, Li Xin knelt down to salute, and said, "I pay my respects to the empress."

Empress Changsun put down the embroidery in her hands, and said with a smile: "Get up. It's really rare for me to see you, Xin'er."

Li's confidence tightened. Speaking of which, it's true that I haven't visited Empress Changsun for a long time, and it's normal for her to complain.

"My son has caused too many troubles. Every time I come to the palace, I will be scolded by His Majesty first, and then I dare not come to see the Empress, for fear of being scolded again." Li Xin pretended to be mischievous and joked.

Empress Changsun sneered, and didn't bother to think about it. She asked, "then why did you come here today?"

Li Xin coughed lightly, and said, "His Majesty said that the empress has not had a good appetite these days, so come and have a look."

Empress Changsun froze for a moment. She didn't collude with Li Shimin first, so she didn't know for a while that Li Shimin would use such an excuse to call Li Xin over. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, put on a very natural expression in an instant, and said calmly: "It's nothing serious, don't be so nervous. I'm just a little tired these two days, so I can't whet my appetite."

Li Xin asked, "Didn't you invite the imperial doctor to take a look?"

Empress Changsun said: "The imperial doctor didn't say anything serious, but just said that it would be fine to rest for a few days."

Li Xin said earnestly: "Then what should we do these few days? Are we going to follow my mother's appetite like this? I have to find a way to eat something. Maybe it's because the cooks in the palace are not skilled enough and the food they cook doesn't suit my mother's taste." Woolen cloth?"

Seeing Li Xin caring so much about herself, Empress Changsun felt warm, and joked: "The imperial chef in the palace is not good, so who else in the world can do it well?"

Li Xin patted his chest and said, "I am. I'm not boasting. When it comes to cooking skills, even the royal chef in the palace may not be able to compare with me."
