"Shimin has met Mr. Chu!"

Li Shimin, who was dressed in dark purple uniform, saluted Chu Zhen respectfully. After Chu Zhen spoke, he saluted Li Qingzhao and asked with a smile: "I wonder who this little lady is?"

"My family's surname is Li, and my father is Wai Lang, a minister of rites in the Song Dynasty."

Li Qingzhao reported his origin and saluted Li Shimin, "I have met Erlang, Duke of Tang Dynasty."

"Song?"

Li Shimin thought about it and asked her with a smile: "Is it Liu Song from the Jin Dynasty?"

"No, it's the Zhao and Song dynasties after the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Qingzhao's clear eyes were full of smiles.

Zhao Song came after Tang Dynasty!

She had read the old and new Tang books and knew the differences between the two Tang books. Now Li Shimin was standing in front of her, and the historian Chu Langjun recorded the Tang history in his own hand... Well, it seemed that what Chu Langjun recorded was not the Tang history she had read.

"Zhao Song? The Song Dynasty where Emperor Huiqin was kidnapped?"

The voice of Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang sounded at the right time, and Li Qingzhao's smiling face suddenly froze.

But she didn't know what kind of dynasty the Ming Dynasty was, and she didn't know how to praise her Song Dynasty.

After thinking for a long time, Li Qingzhao could only reluctantly respond: "The great ancestor of the Song family ruled the country with literature and stabilized the country with military force. He ended the war that lasted for more than a hundred years since the end of the Tang Dynasty and was able to establish the Song Dynasty. As for the two emperors of Huiqin being taken captive, the Nu family was actually I don’t know!”

This time it was Li Shimin's turn to freeze.

"Hey. Song Taizu?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Chenqiao mutiny, yellow robes were added to his body. I don't read much history. Is this what Song Taizu is talking about?"

Li Qingzhao clenched his fists.

I really want to hit someone!

"Ahem." Chu Zhen said, "Don't talk about the Song Dynasty, let's talk about the Ming Dynasty!"

"Emperor Chongzhen was hanged in Meishan at the end of the Ming Dynasty!"

Behind the bookshelf, the voice of a girl who couldn't hide came from behind.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

Li Qingzhao and Chu Zhen looked at each other and laughed out loud, Sister Lin is better!

"With Erlang of the Li family here, why are you talking about Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang brought the topic to Li Shimin, his eyes fell on his clothes, and he exclaimed in surprise: "What are you..."

Li Shimin smiled slightly, opened his hands, and showed the Qin King's uniform to the three of them: "I have been appointed the Minister of the Tang Dynasty, the King of Qin, and the Governor of Puzhou!"

"King of Qin Li Shimin!"

Li Qingzhao couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

The last time I saw him, he was just the commander-in-chief, besieging Chang'an, no, he was besieging Daxing City in the Sui Dynasty.

Only three days later, he became King Li Shimin of Qin. The Tang Dynasty was established, and the Sui Dynasty was almost destroyed!

The title of King Qin Li Shimin is really famous for generations. Many people in the Song Dynasty also talked about it. When mentioning King Qin, they can think of Li Shimin.

"...King of Qin."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little lost.

He also granted the title of King of Qin to the second son of his vassal Xi'an, Zhu Xi.

But compared to King Qin Li Shimin, he, the son of the King of Qin, is really in heaven and earth. If it were not for his son, he would have killed this turtle early!

"King Qin? Not bad, not bad."

Chu Zhen laughed, congratulated Li Shimin, and asked with a smile: "The Tang Dynasty has been established, so Yang Guang is dead?"

One sentence made the four ancient people stunned.

Why is the King of Qin not the King of Qin? Here in Chuzhen, even Sui Emperor Yang Guang called him by his name and spoke of his death.

In the historian's writings, emperors, generals and ministers could not escape the word "death".

Li Shimin was about to speak, but he noticed the two people present, so he raised his hands to let them speak first.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the young lady of the Song Dynasty to speak first.

"The slave family is just a commoner woman. She can't compare with His Royal Highness the Prince and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. They only have a few trivial matters."

Li Qingzhao was very humble and handed a bamboo box in his hand to Chu Zhen. He walked back to Lin Daiyu with a little shame. Under the gaze of Sister Lin, he took out the written article from his arms and walked out. He handed it to Chu Zhen with a rather proud expression.

Chu Zhen was stunned for a moment. The paper in his hand carried the girl's body temperature, and he could vaguely smell the delicate fragrance.

Hearing this was so moving that he couldn't help but look at her.

Li Qingzhao smiled and said: "Today I went to Bianliang City to visit and bought some food in the city, specially given to Chu Langjun."

"Did you eat in the Song Dynasty?"

Chu Zhen was pleasantly surprised. When he opened the bamboo box, he saw that there were many pastries of various colors piled inside. Unfortunately, some pastries were deformed due to extrusion.

"This is a shortbread bought from Daxiangguo Temple. It contains prunes and mutton. This is a square cake bought outside Jinmingchi. It is made with sesame, beans and dates ground into puree and mixed with glutinous rice. It is soft and delicious~. Also This is the candy dough man I bought at the stall in front of Zhouqiao Gelou... Oh, it’s a pity, the dough man’s appearance is broken.”

Li Qingzhao was very interested and introduced Chu Zhen to her day trip to Bianjing City and the snacks she bought.

Listening to it makes people salivate.

This is Li Qingzhao!

Not only can he compose poems and lyrics, drink and play horses, he is also a person who can enjoy life.

The entire bustling Bianliang City and its surroundings are a playground for her.

“As for the article I wrote… I’ll talk about it later.”

Li Qingzhao was a little shy and wanted to put the content of the article later, and then talk slowly after the two emperors left.

Chu Zhen smiled, put the bamboo lid on, put it aside, and said to them: "I'll pour you a cup of tea. Also, I went out yesterday afternoon and bought a few kilograms of fruit. If you want to eat, you can try it."

Li Qingzhao gave him food. It was not good for him to give it to Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang, but it was okay to give it to Sister Lin.

So Chu Zhen entertained them with the fruits he bought yesterday.

"What kind of fruit is this?"

After sitting down, Li Shimin was a little surprised when he saw the fruits in Chu Zhen's bags.

"This? This is a mango. It is said that Xuanzang brought it back from the Western Regions. Peel off the outer skin and eat the meat inside. If your hands are dirty, you can wipe them with paper towels.

This is lychee. I guess you haven’t eaten it either. "

Chu Zhen smiled and briefly introduced some fruits to the three of them.

When introducing lychee, I specifically said its name is Feizixiao.

Li Shimin didn't know why.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, but his expression was a bit surprised. Would future generations just buy so many fresh fruits to eat?

He knew about mangoes but had never eaten them. Neither did lychees. He had only eaten them soaked in jars. Fresh lychees were too luxurious and he couldn't bear to have them delivered from Guangnan.

And this bayberry is too big!

"You guys sit down first, and I'll give some to Miss Lin."

Chu Zhen put some fruits on a plate. Li Qingzhao saw it and followed him. She would not be alone with other men, and the chairs here were relatively close. She had better go back to sit with Sister Lin.

"Thank you, Uncle Chu."

Lin Daiyu did not refuse. After standing up and saluting, she shyly took the fruit from Chu Zhen's hand.

Li Qingzhao pulled her to sit down, but felt that it was not good, so he moved the chair outside, face to face with Sister Lin, and could just see Chu Zhen and Li Shimin at the same time.

Chu Zhen returned to the computer and found that neither of them had eaten fruit, so he smiled and said, "You're welcome, you can eat whatever you want."

"Thank you Mr. Chu!"

Li Shimin, who had become the King of Qin, thanked Chu Zhen, then picked a lychee, peeled it off, looked at it, and put it in his mouth.

The juice blooms in your mouth, and it tastes really good!

After taking another bite, Li Shimin smiled at Chu Zhen and said, "More than half a year has passed since our last farewell. After my father ascended the throne, he made me the King of Qin as Mr. Chu said!"

"It's recorded in history books, so how can it be wrong?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said pointedly, and he also stretched out his hand and took out a mango from the bag that was half the size of his fist and had an orange skin.

This stuff...how many emperors in ancient times had eaten it?
