Chapter 355

"Father, let's eat first." Empress Changsun said.

She couldn't believe that she was so addicted to mahjong.

Mahjong seems to have magical powers, and people are addicted to it without knowing it.

If Li Mu hadn't come to remind him, he would probably continue to be addicted.

Li Yuan was a little unhappy. Although he didn't lose much, Li Shimin won, which made him very upset.

But he was old after all, he was excited before and didn't feel much, but now he calmed down and felt tired for a while.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Then eat first."

Li Shimin opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

He thought that there were still many memorials that had not been dealt with, and wanted to go back and deal with the memorials.

But Li Yuan is in high spirits now, if he said it, Li Yuan would definitely be angry, and by then Li Yuan would probably be too angry to eat.

Li Shimin was going to talk after dinner.

The maid brought dinner, and Li Yuan and others sat at separate tables.

Looking at Li Shimin's eldest grandson empress and Li Lizhi sitting below, Li Yuan was a little lost in thought.

This was the first time that he and Li Shimin and his wife sat together for dinner since the Xuanwu Gate incident.

Thinking of the scene when the family had dinner together, the corners of Li Yuan's eyes became moist.

"Royal Father." Empress Changsun called softly.

Li Yuan came back to his senses, saw Li Shimin and the others were looking at him, turned his head away, and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Let's eat." Looking back again, Li Yuan had calmed down.

Because Li Yuan was in a bad mood, during the meal, there was only the sound of chopsticks colliding with the bowl.No one spoke.

After eating, Li Yuan said, "Continue."

"Father, my son and minister still have memorials to deal with. It's getting late now, why not play tomorrow." Li Shimin said.

"You go." Li Yuan said lightly.

"Thank you, father, my son will leave."

Just when Li Shimin was about to leave, Li Yuan said flatly: "After you leave, you don't need to come to Da'an Palace anymore."

"Father, it's really nothing important. I'd better continue playing mahjong with my father." Li Shimin said with a wry smile.

After Li Yuan said that, how could he leave?

Li Shimin scolded Lin Xuan all over his heart.

It's okay to play mahjong, just make trouble for him.

However, Li Shimin's troubles have just begun.

Several people played until midnight, and it was not over until Li Yuan couldn't hold on anymore.

Li Shimin asked Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi to go back, and went to Ganlu Hall by himself.

Get up and finish some important memorials. Li Shimin didn't go anywhere, and fell asleep in the Ganlu Hall.

When Li Shimin was woken up the next day, his head was still groggy.

Under the service of the maid, after washing, Li Shimin sobered up a lot.

After eating something casually, Li Shimin went to court.

When the morning court was over, Li Shimin returned to Ganlu Hall and saw Xiaoluzi waiting for him there.

"The Supreme Emperor asked His Majesty to go to Da'an Palace." Xiao Luzi said.

Li Shimin's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, no need to ask, he must be asked to play mahjong.

Thinking that yesterday's memorial has not been finished yet, if he goes again today, maybe one day, if it goes on like this, he won't have to do anything, just play mahjong with Li Yuan every day.

"Go back and tell Royal Father that I have something to do and I will arrange someone else to play with him." Li Shimin said.

"Yes." Xiao Luzi replied and withdrew.

Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and said, "Go and call Lin Xuan to me."

……

Lin Xuan has been busy growing vegetables at home for the past few days, and by the way, give some pointers on the production of quilts and cotton clothes.

When Li Mu came to Lin's house and told him that Li Shimin had summoned him, he was still a little dazed.

Lin Xuan asked Li Mu the reason, but Li Mu thought of Li Shimin's face, and didn't tell him the specific reason, but said that His Majesty's face was not good.

Lin Xuan was taken aback, why did Li Shimin go crazy?

Lin Xuan ordered people to put the quilts that had been made in the past few days on twenty beds, and followed Li Mu to the palace.

"See Your Majesty." Lin Xuan bowed and saluted.

"You said you can do something serious all day long!" Li Shimin was furious when he saw Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, why didn't I do any serious business? I was still thinking about Your Majesty, so I brought some here for Your Majesty."

"I brought some here? Do you think my head doesn't hurt enough? What's the use of mahjong?" Li Shimin said with a cold face.

Lin Xuan was a little confused, and said: "Your Majesty, did you make a mistake? I didn't say that I would give mahjong to Your Majesty."

Li Shimin was taken aback, and said, "Then what did you bring?"

"Did Your Majesty forget about Bai Dizi? I made something out of Bai Dazi, and I named it a quilt." Lin Xuan said.

"A quilt?" Li Shimin asked, "What's the use?"

Lin Xuan explained: "The quilt is for sleeping at night, it is very warm."

Li Shimin became interested and said, "Bring it to me for a look."

Li Mu hurried out, and not long after, he led the people back with the quilt in their arms.

Li Shimin touched it with his hand, it was soft and felt good.

"Can this thing really keep you warm?" Li Shimin asked.

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you can try it."

Li Shimin said: "Come here, wrap me up with this."

The two eunuchs quickly unfolded the quilt, and Li Shimin occupied it. The eunuch carefully wrapped Li Shimin with the quilt, leaving only one head outside.

It's the end of September now, and the weather is already a bit chilly, but when the quilt is wrapped around his body, Li Shimin feels the heat.

This feeling became stronger and stronger as time passed.

In a few minutes, Li Shimin's forehead was already dripping with sweat.

"Take it off for me." Li Shimin said quickly.

When the quilt was taken off, Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief.

"This quilt is really nice, how many did you bring?" Li Shimin asked.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "I brought twenty beds here."

Li Shimin nodded, and said, "You're still a bit filial."

Lin Xuan chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I will send the quilt to the empress first."

He still remembers what Li Shimin said about mahjong before, although he didn't know the reason, but it was definitely not a good thing, so it's better to sneak away for a second.

Li Shimin thought of the trouble mahjong had brought him, waved his hands and said, "No need, Li Mu, ask someone to send the quilt to Lizheng Hall, and let the queen arrange it."

"Yes." Li Mu bowed and retreated.

Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Do you think you can do some serious business? Why don't you play mahjong if you have nothing to do? Play with things and lose your ambition!"

Lin Xuan was a little wronged, and said with a full face of grievance: "Your Majesty, Mahjong was made by me during the Chinese New Year last year. I played it with my family at home, but it didn't spread."

"Hasn't it spread? How many people in Chang'an are obsessed with mahjong now, do you know? The emperor is so obsessed with it, he asks me to play mahjong with him every day!" Li Shimin said angrily.

Lin Xuan was taken aback, he really didn't know, he hadn't been to Chang'an these days.

Li Shimin said: "I don't care what method you use, either you go to the palace to play with the Supreme Emperor every day, or find a way to make the Supreme Emperor lose interest in mahjong."

Lin Xuan was speechless, isn't this a scam.

There are so many ways of entertainment in later generations, and mahjong has fascinated many people, and many people died of mahjong.

How can an addict lose interest in mahjong in the ancient times when entertainment methods were scarce?

"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor likes to play mahjong. His Majesty just finds some people to play with the Supreme Emperor. There are so many ministers in the court, why is Your Majesty looking for ministers?" Lin Xuan said.

Li Shimin cast a glance at Lin Xuan, and said lightly, "Then who are you talking about?"
