Hearing Li Shimin's roar, Li Chengqian was so frightened that he sat down in the mud puddle.

This time, the white teeth turned into clay teeth.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin was so angry that his beard stood straight.

Not long ago, he had thought that this guy had finally changed his gender, that he had finally learned the lesson.

But now he is jumping into the mud pit.

Li Shimin pointed at Li Chengqian and shouted: "Why don't you come up to me quickly!"

"I'm not going up!"

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian took a few steps deeper.

"If you don't come up, I won't be able to do anything to you, right?"

"Just wait, don't let me catch you."

With that said, Li Shimin took off his shoes and went into the mud pit.

But after he took a few steps barefoot, he regretted it.

If he jumped, wouldn't he be like this guy?

No one may say anything when a child jumps into a mud puddle, but he is different.

Standing by the pond, Li Shimin stopped and said, "Then I will wait for you to come up today. When you come up, I will see if I don't teach you a lesson."

Li Chengqian looked around.

This pond is surrounded by relatively high ridges, which are simply not something he of his stature can climb up.

Only where Li Shimin's feet are lower is lower, he can only climb up from there.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Chengqian still walked towards Li Shimin dejectedly.

Seeing Li Chengqian coming over, Li Shimin raised his foot and kicked him.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian ran fast and dodged immediately, and even bared his teeth at his father, revealing his little white teeth covered with dirt.

Before Li Shimin could get angry, Li Chengqian pushed the bamboo basket in his hand forward: "Father, didn't I just go down to the mud pit to catch loaches to help you recuperate?"

"To replenish my health?"

"Do you still have such filial piety?"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, expressing disdain.

"Father, you don't know, loach is a very nourishing food for the body."

Li Chengqian explained seriously: "There are records in medical science that live loach can be used as medicine. It is sweet and neutral in nature. It has many benefits such as tonifying the middle and replenishing qi, replenishing the stomach and warming the spleen, dehumidifying and removing jaundice, etc."

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to add: "By the way, if the mother often eats loach, the symptoms of chest tightness can be reduced a lot."

"Are there really so many benefits?"

Li Shimin was deeply suspicious of this.

Li Chengqian said: "Of course, there are many benefits."

Then he grinned and said: "And it tastes very good. When I make it later, my father will also try it."

"Does it taste good?"

"Can the things growing in this soil taste good?"

Li Shimin's face was full of disdain.

"Of course it's delicious."

"What if it doesn't taste good?"

"If it doesn't taste good, Father will punish me as you please."

Li Chengqian didn't take it seriously: "Just watch it."

Then he glanced at Cheng Yaojin and said, "Uncle Cheng, is there a place where I can cook near you?"

Cheng Yaojin pointed not far away and said: "There is a Zhuangzi over there who can start a fire."

"good."

Li Chengqian waved and led everyone towards Zhuangzi.

After arriving at the village, Li Chengqian was directing from the side, and Zhao Shi went into battle in person. After a while, the loach was ready.

When Li Chengqian, who was covered in mud, came up with a large pot of loach, Li Shimin still looked disgusted.

When he was young, he led troops all the time, and he ate loach when there was no military rations.

This thing had an earthy smell. If he hadn't been hungry and anxious, he wouldn't have even looked at it.

How can you believe that this thing can be delicious?

Li Shimin just tried to take a bite with his chopsticks just to beat Li Chengqian and let him know not to jump into the mud pit in the future.

But it didn't matter if I tasted it, I couldn't hold it back immediately.

Isn’t this delicious?

The meat of the loach is tender and has fewer spines than ordinary fish. You only need to grab the tail to eat it all in one bite.

Seeing Li Shimin eating a loach, Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "Father, does it smell good?"

"Well, it smells so good..."

Seeing Li Shimin devouring the food, Cheng Yaojin became unkind.

After all, Li Chengqian said that this dish was made to return his favor.

Li Chengqian took a long breath.

I finally don’t have to be beaten anymore.

In the end, he also went over and followed Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin to grab loaches to eat.

After he was full of wine and food, Li Chengqian took the food box from his childhood son and said, "Father, there are many loaches in here."

"I have also memorized the recipe and recipe for braised loach. Father, please take it back and give it to your mother to try."

"For the sake of your filial piety."

"I won't punish you today."

Yo...

If your belly is not bulging so high.

I really believe it...

Li Chengqian curled his lips, and then said: "Father, this dish is really beneficial to the mother's illness because it replenishes Qi. Don't forget it."

Li Chengqian still remembers that Empress Changsun died young due to Qi disease.

And now that he has come to this world, he must change something, right?

Um……

It starts with changing the situation where my mother died of illness and my father took pills and died.

After a meal, Li Chengqian returned to the city with Li Shimin.

On the way, Li Shimin said: "Do you know why I came here?"

"Aren't you here to catch me?"

Li Chengqian looked puzzled.

Li Shimin raised his hand and gave Li Chengqian a chestnut: "Do you think I have that much time?"

"I'm here to inform you that there will be a debate in the Lu Mansion in the next two days."

"Didn't you say you don't want to endorse it?"

"So go over and listen and see how those scholars learn."

Li Chengqian covered his head and replied, "I understand."



Two days later, Lu Mansion.

The Fan Yang Lu family has the strongest literary style among the five surnames and Qi Wang.

He helps poor children all the year round, giving them money and food and sending them to take exams.

This may seem like a good move to outsiders, but in the eyes of smart people, they are doing this to consolidate their family status.

After all, if a child from a poor family passes the college entrance examination, he will naturally repay the Lu family for their kindness.

This is a very common thing in this era, almost all the five surnames, Qiwang and many aristocratic families do this.

At this time, several disciples from poor families were entering the Lu Mansion while talking.

At this time, they suddenly saw Lu Qing, the head of the Lu family, walking out of the house with his servants.

Upon seeing this, several of the poor disciples thought that Lu Qing had come out specially to greet them, and they immediately bent down and saluted.

"Meet Mr. Lu..."

Unexpectedly, Lu Qing ignored them at all and stepped out of the mansion towards a carved carriage.

Seeing this, several disciples from poor families looked at each other angrily.

It turned out that he was not there to greet himself.

But who is this person that the head of the Lu family can welcome in person?

Several people looked around curiously.

At this time, he saw an eight or nine-year-old child getting out of the carriage.

When Lu Qing saw the child, he bent down and saluted: "Your Majesty, Lu Qing, pay homage to His Highness."

After Li Chengqian got out of the car, he cupped his hands towards Mr. Lu and said, "Uncle Lu, there is no need to be polite. Has the debate begun?"

"Not yet, I'm waiting for His Highness."

Lu Qing said: "Your Highness, please come inside."

Li Chengqian was not polite and walked towards the door of the mansion.

Only then did the few disciples from humble families realize that it was His Highness who had arrived.

Thinking about it, in the entire Tang Dynasty, there were only a few people who could make the head of the Fanyang Lu family bow down and salute.

I'm afraid even those princes can't do it.

Li Chengqian followed Lu Qing into the mansion. Unexpectedly, he heard an exclamation as soon as he entered the mansion.

"Is it you? Why are you here?"
