Chapter 192 Li Shimin's Worries

Lizheng Hall.

Empress Changsun has not been in good health. Although it has been several days since Princess Jinyang was born, she is still recuperating in bed.

Li Shimin these days, except for some necessary things, most of the things are left to Li Chengqian to handle.He basically stayed with Empress Changsun in Lizheng Hall.

"Your Majesty! Eunuch Li has an urgent matter to see and is waiting outside the hall." Ruxue came in to report.

Li Shimin said apologetically, "Guanyin maidservant, I'll go first, and I'll be back soon."

Empress Changsun said softly: "Your Majesty, you have been with your courtiers and concubines for a long time these days, and state affairs cannot be neglected. Although Gao Ming is the crown prince, he is still too immature to handle things."

"It's okay, nothing major happened now, I have read the results of his handling, and he handled it very well. You have a good rest, and I will go first." Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin came outside the hall and said, "Tell me, what happened!"

He had told Li Mu that there was nothing serious, so don't bother him, since Li Mu came, something must have happened.

Li Mu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, a major event has occurred in the Western Turks. Si Yehu was attacked by the two tribes of Shebei Dagan and Nushibi. He was defeated and fled to Ankang. Turkic Khan."

"What about the letter? Bring it to me to have a look." Li Shimin said.

Li Mu quickly took out the letter sent back from the secret work and handed it to Li Shimin.

After reading it, Li Shimin frowned tightly.

Si Yehu was the Western Turkic Khan, and he never felt that there was much threat.

Western Turks are obviously stronger than Xue Yantuo, Si Yehu's previous attack on Xue Yantuo failed.

The most important thing is that Si Yehu is headstrong and unpopular, so he is completely unaware of his calculations.

But Nishu is different. Although Li Shimin doesn't know much about Nishu, judging from his series of methods, Nishu is not simple.

He was worried that if Ni Yu saw something, his calculations would fail.

"Is there any news about the person who arranged to buy horses, cattle and sheep at the border?" Li Shimin asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, not yet."

Li Shimin thought for a while, and it will take time for Ni Shu to stabilize the situation just after taking over the position. If there is no response after a few days, he must have noticed something.

"If there is any news, I will know it immediately!" Li Shimin said.

"Yes!"

Li Shimin relaxed his brows, with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened, and walked into the Lizheng Hall.

……

It may be the reason why the imperial court does not allow carp to be eaten. Not only are there many carp in Bahe, but they are also very large.

Lin Xuan and the others caught more than a dozen fish until noon, and except for a few that were not carp, the others were all carp.

"Okay, stop fishing, let's get ready for lunch." Lin Xuan said.

Cheng Chuliang whispered, "Lin Xuan, do we really want to eat carp?"

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "The imperial court is not allowed to kill cattle, isn't your family often killing cattle?"

Cheng Chuliang quickly denied it: "Don't talk nonsense, my cow died accidentally."

Lin Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said to Liu Da: "Leave one big one, and you will share the rest with those guards."

"Master Hou, this..." Liu Da hesitated.

Although he didn't know carp, he heard what Lin Xuan and the others said. The imperial court forbids eating carp.

Lin Xuan is not afraid, but he is.

Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "What are you afraid of? Just pretend you don't know anything. Those soldiers don't know any carp. Just eat it. If something goes wrong, I'll take care of it."

"Yes!" Liu Da replied, and began to share the fish.

Lin Xuan asked his soldiers to take out the barbecue grill and started to fiddle with it.

"Princesses, wait a moment. You have never eaten the delicious food I made later." Lin Xuan said to Li Lizhi and the others not far away.

"Sister, after all, he is a Marquis and a future son-in-law, how can he cook with his own hands." Princess Yuzhang said in a low voice.

Li Lizhi shook her head. She also felt that this was not good, but she was not married yet, so it was inconvenient for her to say some things.

The materials brought by Lin Xuan had already been skewered before coming, and the beef brought by Cheng Chuliang was not worn yet, so Lin Xuan arranged for the servants brought to skewer the beef.

After the servants finished burning the charcoal, Lin Xuan put the meat skewers on the rack and began to test them.

"Isn't it just barbecue, I thought it was something. And it's so small, how can it be enough to eat." Cheng Chuliang said.

Lin Xuan said: "This is different from the barbecue you usually eat, you will know in a while."

He has also eaten Tang Dynasty barbecue, and the taste is good, but compared with barbecue, it is still much worse.

Lin Xuan picked up a brush and brushed oil on the meat skewers, and the aroma of the meat skewers began to permeate.

"It smells so good!" Princess Yuzhang said.

She completely forgot that she thought Lin Xuan shouldn't do it himself just now, she stared at the meat skewers and swallowed.

Li Lizhi cast her a glance, and said angrily: "Look at your appearance, you don't look like a princess at all."

Princess Yuzhang stuck out her tongue and said, "I want to eat."

Princess Qinghe looked at Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang with some envy.

Although she is a sister with them in name, she is not familiar with them, and she seldom talks with them.

Li Lizhi noticed Princess Qinghe's expression, stepped forward and took her hand, and asked with a smile: "Sister Qinghe, Cheng Chuliang is your future son-in-law, what do you think?"

Princess Qinghe said shyly, "Sister Changle, don't make fun of my younger sister."

"So, you're not satisfied? How about I help you talk to your father about changing your son-in-law?" Li Lizhi said with a half-smile.

Princess Qinghe quickly said: "No need."

"So, sister Qinghe is quite satisfied with this son-in-law." Li Lizhi joked.

How could she have the ability to change the marriage between Princess Qinghe and Cheng Chuliang, just to tease Princess Qinghe.

Princess Qinghe blushed and lowered her head, embarrassed to speak.

Cheng Chuliang looks good, and her family background is also very good, she has nothing to be picky about.

"Sister Changle, when will the barbecue be ready?" Li Zhi asked.

He has long been smelling the aroma from the barbecue, and he is so hungry.

"You little greedy cat, it should be soon, don't worry." Li Lizhi said with a smile.

Lin Xuan flipped the meat skewers, feeling that it was almost done, and evenly dried the prepared seasoning on it.

The only regret is that no cumin has been found, and the peppers have not been grown yet.

Lin Xuan put the tested meat skewers on a tray, handed them to Cheng Chuliang, and said, "Okay, send these to the princess."

"Can I have a taste first?" Cheng Chuliang asked after swallowing his saliva.

"Let the princesses eat first, why are you in a hurry." Lin Xuan said angrily.

This is his first barbecue in Datang, and he hasn't eaten it yet.

Cheng Chuliang smiled mischievously, and sent the tray over.

"His Royal Highness, princesses, the barbecue is ready." Cheng Chuliang said.

"Give it to me!" Li Zhi hurried over to take the tray.

However, he was only four years old after all, and although he could move, he couldn't move his hands to eat the skewers.

Looking at the meat skewers that were golden in color and exuding an attractive aroma, but they couldn't eat them, Li Zhi was in a hurry.

Li Lizhi thought it was very funny, and stepped forward to take the tray from Li Zhi.

After leaving the tray, Li Zhi quickly grabbed the meat skewers and started eating.

"Well...it's so hot...it's delicious." Li Zhi said inarticulately.

Princess Yuzhang couldn't bear it long ago, she picked up the meat skewers and started to eat them.

Seeing them scrambling, Lin Xuan smiled, and asked his servants to take the cleaned fish to stew.

With such a big fish, braised in brown sauce is sure to taste better, but the ingredients are not complete, so it can only be used for stewing soup.

Lin Xuan continued to grill the meat skewers. Cheng Chuliang came back before he passed the exam and asked, "Is it ready? The princesses have finished eating."

"Soon!" Lin Xuan responded, and continued to work with his head down.

……

The lunch at noon exhausted Lin Xuan.

He thought that a child and three women wouldn't be able to eat much.

But their appetite somewhat surprised Lin Xuan.

The most important thing is that Cheng Chuliang, a big eater, is still there.

"Lin Xuan, let's bake some more, I'm not full yet." Cheng Chuliang said.

Lin Xuan was unmoved, and said: "I haven't eaten enough to drink fish soup, there is still a big pot."

"The fish soup is delicious, but I have already drank three bowls, and I don't want to drink any more." Cheng Chuliang said.

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "You have eaten more than 100 skewers of meat, why do you want more?"

"Isn't this delicious!" Cheng Chuliang said with some embarrassment.

"Don't think about eating meat skewers. His Royal Highness King Jin promised to hold Princess Yuzhang, and you will find a chance to find Princess Qinghe later." Lin Xuan said.

Cheng Chuliang said in surprise, "How did you manage to deal with His Royal Highness King Jin?"

"Leave it alone." Lin Xuan blushed.

It's not an honor to fool a child.
