Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Princess Chengyang took Lu Shang and followed Queen Changsun to the Lizheng Palace. Naturally, Su Quan had to go to the Ganlu Palace with Li Shimin. The couple's affectionate look when they parted made Li Shimin drag Su Quan and walk quickly. .

When Su Quan came to Ganlu Hall this time, she was not on pins and needles like when she came with Yuchi Baoqi. She naturally sat next to Li Shimin and made tea for Li Shimin.

"Warm the pot, iron the cup, iron the cup... ah, let me test... put the tea into the cup, wash the tea... wash the tea and then... shake the incense... rub, scald, scald, put into the sea... wait a minute Father, enter the sea..."

A set of imperial-made gray-bodied celadon produced in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province was missing just one tureen, and it crashed to pieces.

Li Shimin sighed and stopped Su Quan who was about to pick up the broken porcelain pieces: "Wang De! Where did he die? Come and clean it up! Quan'er has this intention, and his father is satisfied. Why did he go to the north and come back so soon? Already?"

Su Quan touched his nose and said with embarrassment: "Father, no, Your Majesty, I have betrayed the divine grace and cannot continue to build the road. I have sent the workers away and will start work again next year."

Li Shimin understands a truth, professional things should be done by professional people. Su Quan is undoubtedly the best at building roads in the entire Tang Dynasty and even in the world, so he must have his reasons for doing so.

"Hey~ How can this family speak the same language? You and I, the father-in-law and son-in-law, talk about the affairs of the monarch and his ministers."

Su Quan sighed: "To the east of the north is the Northland. The three newly added northeastern provinces are getting colder as you go east. The land is already frozen today, and there are even permafrost zones in some places. One hundred people per day, Thirty meters is too much to dig."

When Li Shimin heard this, there was really nothing he could do about it: "Well, it's not a bad thing. She is about to give birth in Chengyang. Although you and she have brought a sufficient medical team, it is better to give birth and raise her in Chang'an."

Su Quan suddenly remembered: "I heard that the Anxi Protectorate has universal medical coverage, and the Central Plains also has it? It's a lot of waste."

Li Shimin nodded: "Xiaobao's national policy is that the Han people are the majority after all. Although the other tribes are from the Tang Dynasty, their numbers are still too small, so we need to give them some preferential treatment."

"By the way, Gao Ming is still studying how to purify penicillin in Lingnan. The progress is not bad. Now Lingnan has temporarily developed part of it and shipped me a lot of lychees. They are much fresher and sweeter than those in previous years."

Wang De came at the right time with a basin of lychees on ice, placed it on the tea table and bowed to leave.

Li Shimin peeled off one and handed it to Su Quan. Su Quan was a little flattered. In the past, he was a little transparent and basically didn't care about anything except building roads.

Su Quan took a bite of the lychees with an uneasy feeling, and her eyes widened. In previous years, the lychees were sweet and sour with a wine flavor. Why did this year's pure sweet ones not have the wine flavor at all?

Li Shimin looked at Su Quan's expression and was very satisfied: "Isn't it better than previous years? Gaoming's telegram said that lychees have a high sugar content. Due to the relatively high temperature during transportation, they fermented, which is similar to making wine. Smells like alcohol.”

"This year's lychees were brought back by trucks by the transportation team, who frequently changed the ice along the way. This ensured the freshness of the lychees."

Su Quan took two pills and peeled them and ate them. When she was getting along with Li Shimin today, Su Quan really didn't feel like a monarch or a minister.

"Father, when will my cousin come back? Maybe he has a method for frozen soil, and he should be able to purify penicillin."

As soon as Yuchi Baoqi was mentioned, Li Shimin's expression immediately changed: "I got angry when I mentioned him. I went to sea to look for immortal seeds. I found them and planted them. What about now? Where are the others? He went to fight with his father Hei Lian. You're a white-skinned Westerner, and you want to prove that the earth is round!"

Su Quan was not surprised: "It's something he can do. When I was in the northern border, I heard General Li Jing say that he would take the second generation of each family to the northern border. I was also surprised that there was no war. Not to mention the bitter cold in the past, every day It’s just face to face, eye to eye, very boring.”

Li Shimin's throat felt a little sore after eating lychees, so he called Wang De to come over and make tea to prevent Su Quan from smashing his tea set again.

"I heard from Xiaobao that they can reach the rear of the Westerners in ten days at least from that North America all the way across the Atlantic Ocean at full speed. Now the entire northern border is probably preparing to go to the Khazar Khanate to support your uncle."

Normally, when Li Shimin revealed such a major military event, he would either prepare the logistics or recruit people to serve as vanguards. Su Quan had different ideas from ordinary people.

Su Quan wiped his face: "Father, I don't know whether to say something or not. Qingyi is about to give birth. I am not with her at this time. It is a bit difficult to go out to build roads."

Li Shimin was stunned: "My father just wants to talk to you. This is not a major military matter. I won't let you build roads. Don't worry. Your cousin is here to do the work of cattle and horses. I will give you a break for half a year after the birth in Chengyang." The long vacation is not a problem, since Xiaobao will be back by then anyway, I have plenty of people to play with."

Su Quan felt a chill, but fortunately he was not the one doing the work. He could just concentrate on building roads after the holiday. Apart from anything else, the title of Railway Master was quite satisfying.

Seeing that Su Quan was absent-minded, Li Shimin thought that he missed Chengyang all of a sudden: "Wang De, please pass on the meal and set up the government palace to welcome Princess Chengyang and the Prince Consort!"

When we arrived at the Li Zheng Hall, we could hear the constant laughter and chatter inside.

"Sister Huang, do you have a baby in your belly? Is Asi going to be an aunt?"

"If Aximo is so careless, what will he do if he bumps into the imperial sister?"

"Brother Huang is pretending, he's becoming less and less cute! Humph!"

Li Zhi held his forehead. He was so angry at the emperor's sister, and he was afraid that the emperor's sister would be hit by the emperor's sister, so he had to stand between the two of them.

Maybe it was Princess Chengyang's nature, or maybe she was about to become a mother, so she doted on her younger brother and younger sister. She even reached out to touch Li Zhi's face, but Li Zhi avoided it as if he was electrocuted.

"Men and women are on defense! Men and women are on defense!"

Li Shimin and Su Quan walked into the Legislature Hall. Su Quan looked at Li Zhi standing there with a red face, and couldn't help but joke: "Men and women are on guard? Is it between relatives? Isn't that your dear sister?"

Princess Chengyang took advantage of the fact that she had someone in her belly, and pinched Xiao Li Zhi's face with both hands: "Why didn't you say that men and women should be guarded against each other when you were a child?"

Xiao Li Zhi curled his lips and was about to cry: "Brother-in-law, look at her! Take care of my imperial sister!"

Su Quan was very courageous. He pointed at Princess Chengyang and put his hands on his hips: "Let go!"

Princess Chengyang didn't move at all. Li Zhi looked at Su Quan, and Su Quan scratched his head: "I can't move, there's no way."
