Don't be a prince

Although Li Chengqian read it quickly, the old Chinese doctor still heard everything.

"Sure enough, I can't even get it all together!"

The king's thirteen incense!

Hearing what the old Chinese doctor said, although Li Chengqian was prepared, he was still a little disappointed.

When the cooking culture has not yet emerged, the most direct way Li Chengqian can think of to treat his mouth kindly is Thirteen Fragrances.As a result, only a few were found in the end.

But that's all, it's good to have.

Li Chengqian said dejectedly: "Then old man, if you have some of these, you can make some for me!"

The old Chinese doctor frowned, but still couldn't help asking: "Little nobleman wants these medicines to treat diseases? But as far as I know, these medicines are not compatible with each other, and most of them are hot and dry. I see you His complexion doesn't look like he's suffering from a disorder!"

Li Chengqian chuckled: "The old man is too worried, the kid wants these things not for medical treatment, but for cooking."

"Cooking?"

The old Chinese doctor screamed, and then waved his hands again and again: "Impossible, the medicine is three-point poisonous, how can it be used for cooking? Listen to the old man's persuasion, absolutely not..."

He couldn't go on anymore, because Yu Tai behind Li Chengqian had already revealed the horizontal knife in his waist with an impatient expression, intending to pull it out and cut someone if he disagreed with him.

Yu Tai was very impatient. In his opinion, the son condescended to line up here as a majestic county king, which had already given the old Chinese medicine face enough.If the old Chinese doctor said anything more, it would be offensive, and a beating would be light.

Li Chengqian turned around and gave Yu Tai a dissatisfied look, then lowered his head, and said to the old Chinese doctor: "The old man is too worried, these few things will not do any harm besides satisfying his appetite."

With Yu Tai's deterrence, the old Chinese doctor didn't dare to say anything, so he could only order the boy to bring these samples to Li Chengqian.

Chapter 9 Xuanwu Gate Guard

With thirteenths of spiced spice, Li Chengqian frowned and left Huichun Hall.

Thirteen spices are not available, stewed meat and so on, they can only make do with it.

Looking at the children selling eggs with baskets on the street, Li Chengqian was suddenly overjoyed again.

Although you can't make big dishes, you can still make simple leek eggs!There is no such thing as broccoli, but leeks are one of the dishes that have been passed down for a long time in China.

"Baoqing, go, buy all those eggs."

Watching the eldest grandson Baoqing go to buy eggs, Yu Tai asked curiously: "My lord, what do you want eggs for? We don't lack these things in Prince Qin's Mansion."

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "You don't understand that, these children are dressed in simple clothes, they must be from outside the city. Eggs are only delicious from the countryside."

Yu Tai patted his head, he was a little puzzled, eggs in the city and outside the city, why are the eggs in the country so delicious?

After Sun Baoqing bought the eggs back, Li Chengqian asked again: "Chang'an City, where are the leeks?"

"Chives?" Changsun Baoqing thought about it for a moment, frowned, and said, "There are chives, but only the imperial palace grows some of them, and they are used to worship the heavens. It seems that there are not many other places. , Majesty, you don't intend to eat it, do you?"

Reminiscent of the purpose of coming out this time, Changsun Baoqing felt like breaking out in a cold sweat.

Leeks are gut-wearing grasses, if Shizi really wants to eat them, what should he do?

Li Chengqian slapped Changsun Baoqing's... stomach.

The main reason is that he is not tall enough now, and he still can't hit his head.

"What nonsense, leeks are edible. However, only the palace has leeks. What should I do?"

Looking up at the imperial palace in the north, Li Chengqian only felt a headache.

Now entrenched in the palace are Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng and his son, no matter which of these two, Li Chengqian doesn't want to see them.

However, this kind of thing for worshiping the heavens, if you don't find the emperor, I'm afraid you can't get it out.

Thinking about the delicious leek box, and thinking about the boiled meat in the palace, Li Chengqian touched his mouth, and finally made up his mind!

"Come on, let's enter the palace!"

"what?"

"what?"

Both Yu Tai and Changsun Baoqing were dumbfounded. For no reason, the prince really wanted to enter the palace!

"His Royal Highness, this..."

Yu Tai wanted to stop him, but suddenly realized that there were some things that were really difficult to tell a child.

He can't say clearly that your father is planning a rebellion, so you can't hit the gun at this time!

As one of Li Shimin's most trusted people, Yu Tai naturally knew about King Qin's recent plans.

Li Chengqian guessed Yu Tai's thoughts, but still said: "It's okay, we will come out as soon as we want some leeks, it won't take too long."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian led the two of them towards Miyagi.

Walking out of the West Market, passing through Buzhengfang, Xuanzhengfang, and Fuxingfang, Li Chengqian's legs were sore before he walked to the entrance of Yeting Palace.

Yeting Palace is the place where maids of honor and family members of criminals lived, and it was also the place where they labored.

The defense force here is relatively loose, so Li Chengqian can enter directly after showing his jade pendant representing Zhongshan King, without even needing to notify.

After passing through the Yeting Palace and entering the West Inner Garden, the Xuanwu Gate appeared in front of you.

Yu Tai asked puzzledly: "My lord, we can enter the palace through both Jingfengmen and Anshangmen, why did we make such a big detour to come to Xuanwumen?"

Of course, Li Chengqian couldn't say that he was simply curious about Xuanwumen. He coughed and said, "If you enter from here, you can go directly to Taiji Palace! At this time, the emperor probably just finished his meal and is still in Taiji Palace."

Yu Tai nodded half-understood, but in his opinion, it's a bit of a long way to go this way!

It is much more troublesome to pass through the Xuanwu Gate.

Because entering here is the reason for the Taiji Palace, and the defense of Xuanwumen is stricter than other places.

But when the guard introduced himself as General Chang He of the Forbidden Army, Li Chengqian couldn't hold back his laughter.

As far as he knew, one of the most direct reasons why his father was able to directly break through the Xuanwu Gate was because of this Chang He.

As early as two years ago, this Chang He was assigned to the palace. Secretly, this guy often bought the Imperial Army to become his confidant, and even became Li Jiancheng's "confidant" in a bloody way.

In Li Chengqian's view, this is clearly an undercover agent who broke into the palace and the prince's interior.

Since ancient times, successful undercover agents have always been people, so Li Chengqian couldn't help but take a few extra glances at this man with a mustache.

Although Li Chengqian looked hairy, Chang He still insisted: "King Zhongshan, if you want to see your majesty, the general must inform you first, and your majesty must summon you before he can let you in. The general is just a small guard. Don't worry about the end."

Hearing this, Yu Tai became angry. He took a step forward, grabbed Chang He's lapel, and said viciously: "My surname is Chang, you really forgot King Qin's favor! I never expected you to enter the palace." After only two years in office, he turned his back, and today he even blocked the son from entering the palace. If you are sensible, let go of the door control, and say one more thing, believe it or not, I hacked you, a wolf-hearted dog?"

Chang He frowned and said: "Yu Tai, don't mess around! I'm doing this for the good of King Zhongshan, and there is no harm in following the rules!"

Seeing that Yu Tai was about to be violent, Li Chengqian tugged Yu Tai and motioned him to let go.

After dragging Yu Tai back, Li Chengqian said to Chang He: "General Chang is right, there is no harm in following the rules. If so, please ask the general to report on his behalf."

Chang He gave Yu Tai a bitter look, and when he faced Li Chengqian again, his face had already turned into a smile.

Comparable to the speed of changing faces.

"King of Zhongshan, wait a moment, the general will send someone in to report this."

After Chang He left, Yu Tai asked Li Chengqian: "My son, why don't you let the last general beat him up? You must know that this guy was appreciated by the King of Qin after the Wagang Army collapsed, and even more so in the second year of Wude." King Qin was promoted to fight with General You Xiaowei Liu Hongji. Unexpectedly, this guy was promoted to the palace, and he joined the crown prince. Such a capricious villain, the general would like to tear him alive in the end."

Li Chengqian patted Yu Tai's belly, and said with a smile: "Huanhuo, why are you angry with him? After a while, if he doesn't let you in, you can go to Yeting Palace and wait for the king. Don't worry, the king has entered the palace." , no one dares to be weird."

Yu Tai breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help but said, "I'm still angry."

Li Chengqian laughed and patted Yu Tai, no wonder this guy was accepted as a confidant by his father, although he was a bit naive, his loyalty was indeed impeccable.

Chapter 10 Grandpa the Emperor

This is how it is when you are a subordinate, as long as you keep a little "loyalty", you will not be suspected at any time.

Not long after, the soldier who went in to report the news came back with a Huangmen eunuch.

Huang Men took a look at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Majesty has an order to see King Zhongshan in Taiji Palace."

While speaking, Li Chengqian found that this bastard obviously wanted to raise his nostrils.

This is the power of the dog.

Li Chengqian, who was led to look down on eunuchs by a crowd of palace fighting movies, suddenly looked down on the deformed products of this deformed society even more.

Yu Tai's anger aroused by Chang He was still there. Seeing the eunuch's arrogance, a nameless flame suddenly surged in his heart.

He was about to step forward, but was stopped by a small hand.

Li Chengqian pushed Yu Tai's thigh vigorously, stepped forward and said in person: "Those who know you know that you are from the Huangmen family, but those who don't know think you are some kind of prince. A mere servant, how could you behave like this to me, the king of the county?" Speak up, won't you do it if you make a mistake?"

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian raised his foot and kicked the eunuch's calf fiercely.

Huang Men didn't expect that Li Chengqian would actually make a move. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a sharp pain in his calf, and suddenly jumped up with his legs hugged, howling.

Li Chengqian also wanted to howl, but he used a little too much force just now, forgetting that he was still a child, although attacking his calf was the most effective way to attack, but his feet were also painful.

"Hmph! Yu Tai, drag him up, but he was kicked, pretend to be a dead dog, and tell him to lead the way."

Yu Tai chuckled, and picked up the eunuch like a dog.

The eunuch didn't dare to resist, so he could only limp and lead the way.

After putting some distance away from the eunuch, Yu Tai asked Li Chengqian: "Your Majesty, why didn't you let the general beat him? Your toe also hurt from that kick just now."

When talking, Yu Tai was very excited.People who come out of the army have this kind of temperament, with a bowl-sized scar on their head, but their face must not be brushed off.Li Chengqian especially appreciated the act of kicking someone himself.

Whether it's Xishi's wisdom or the current extreme, Yu Tai seems to be particularly pleasing to the eye.King Qin is so wise and decisive, he never thought that his son would inherit his father's character at such a young age.

Li Chengqian dragged the eldest grandson Baoqing to the front to block him, then turned his head and said to Tai: "He is an eunuch from the Huang family. If he dares to be so arrogant, he must be more favored. If you are a guard, you can't afford to pursue it. I will do it. Or it will be different if you ask you to do it. This king is the grandson of the emperor, and he is young, even if he is killed, the emperor will not blame him too much."

Yu Tai nodded, unexpectedly, there is such a profound knowledge in this simple action.

only....

Is it an illusion?

He always felt that Shizi seemed to be enlightened after this coma. No matter what he did now, he couldn't treat Shizi like a seven-year-old child.

Led by the limping eunuch, Li Chengqian came to the main hall of Tai Chi Palace.

Although Chang'an has been through war for a long time and there are dilapidated scenes everywhere, the imperial palace is exceptionally clean. Even if he is not in the small body now, he would probably feel the shock of the magnificent palace in front of him.

I am used to seeing high-rise buildings, and when I face the painstaking masterpieces of ancient craftsmen like Tai Chi Palace, I still can't feel a little bit of pride.

After the eunuch passed the report, Li Chengqian was allowed to enter.But Yu Tai and Changsun Baoqing could only stand aside and bask in the sun.Especially Yu Tai, even the horizontal knife on his waist was confiscated by the guards in front of the palace.

Walking into the Taiji Palace, Li Chengqian had no time to look at the interior furnishings before he was attracted by a voice.

"It's Chengqian, how is it? Your head doesn't hurt anymore."

Li Chengqian followed the prestige, and saw a majestic man in a dragon robe, looking at him with a smile.

A creature like the emperor, after staying in a submissive environment for a long time, will become majestic invisibly.

This one is Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, right?

Li Chengqian forced himself not to look at the few white hairs on top of his head, and knelt down obediently: "Chengqian has seen Grandpa Huang, and may Grandpa Huang live forever."

At this time, it is impossible to be a little cowardly, and the stubborn donkey with a stiff neck can only live a few more episodes under the influence of the protagonist's halo.

Besides, it's okay to kneel down, after all, this body is the grandson of the person in front of him.

"what?"

Li Yuan was very surprised, this is not too old or too old, why did the little guy kneel down to him?

Longevity without boundaries?Tsk, it's a pretty good word, if you hear it at a birthday banquet, it will probably be very festive.

Li Yuan happily walked up to Li Chengqian, reached out to help him up, and even helped him pat the non-existent dust on the hem of his clothes.

"Hehe, Chengqian, this is not too old, why kneel down to the emperor! Just like usual, just salute?"

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "This is the grandson thanking the grandpa for his concern. The grandson heard that although you can't leave the palace, you sent an imperial doctor to the mansion. The grandpa still cares about his grandson so much in the midst of all kinds of affairs. The grandson was very moved."

Although he said so, Li Chengqian still made up his mind to study the ancient etiquette.

Feelings are not like the Qing Dynasty at this time, when you see the emperor, you have to kneel!

It can be seen that what he said was very useful to Li Yuan.
