Li Zheng Hall was the palace where Empress Zhangsun lived.
Empress Zhangsun was the mother of the world and was Li Shimin's wife. In historical records, she had a good reputation.
At this moment, Empress Zhangsun was sitting on a chair in her bedroom. Beside her was her biological daughter, Princess Changle, who was also Li Shimin's eldest daughter.
Princess Changle was born beautiful and was a famous beauty.
She was sixteen years old now, but she had already become a beauty. Whether it was her appearance, figure, or temperament, she far surpassed those women of the same age.
"Mother, I heard that the Border Guard Marquis Mu Chen has come to Chang 'an today. Can you let me meet him? I'll secretly take a look and see what the famous Border Guard Marquis looks like, okay?”Princess Changle said coquettishly.
Because she was the eldest daughter of the Di family and was also the biological daughter of Empress Zhangsun.
Li Shi Min loved his daughter dearly.
However, Empress Zhangsun frowned.""No, your father is in Taiji Palace discussing state affairs with the ministers. Don't go over and cause trouble!”
"Mother, I won't cause trouble. I'll just take a peek and definitely won't let father and the others discover me.”Princess Chang Le said.
"No means no. Usually, no matter how much trouble you cause, mother will not care about you. Today is a big matter. You have to be obedient. If you don't succeed today, we will meet again in the future.”Empress Zhangsun said.
Hearing this, Princess Chang Le was a little unhappy.
She sat there, pouting and looking angry.
However, she was really obedient. Without Empress Zhangsun's permission, no matter how curious she was, she did not dare to make her own decisions.
However, at this moment.
The eunuch outside shouted,""His Majesty has arrived!"
Before he finished speaking, Empress Zhangsun and Princess Changle stood up and walked to the door to bow.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Imperial Father!"
At this moment, Li Shi Min walked in with a big laugh.
"Hahaha, Guanyin maid, Lizhi, quickly get up, quickly get up!”Li Shi Min said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Imperial Father!"
When the mother and daughter got up, they saw that Li Shimin had already walked to the chair beside them and sat down.
How smart was Empress Zhangsun? It was obvious that Li Shiming was in a good mood today.
"Your Majesty, I'm in a good mood today. Did you come up with a solution during the meeting?"”
"Hahaha, that's right!" Li Shimin laughed and nodded." Guanyin maid, Lizhi, come, come, sit down first and listen to Zhen tell you a happy news!"”
Hearing this, Empress Zhangsun and Princess Changle sat down beside Li Shimin.
Li Shi Min was also very fond of Princess Chang Le, so he directly pulled her to his side.
"Imperial Father, what's the good news? Hurry up and tell me!" Princess Chang Le said.
"Hahaha, now that the drought has come so suddenly and fiercely, the fields have no crops to harvest. I was originally worried about how to solve this drought, so I sent Zhangsun Wuji to pray for rain on famous mountains and rivers.”
"Oh? What treasure was it? Would it make His Majesty so happy?" Empress Zhangsun asked curiously.
" Hahaha, I believe Guanyin Maid and Lizhi have heard of this treasure. It is the young hero who has shaken Chang 'an City and shocked the desert barbarians. He is the Marquis of Border Protection, Mu Chen!"”Li Shi Min laughed.
"Border Guard Marquis?"
Upon hearing this, both Empress Zhangsun and Princess Changle could not help but speak in unison.
"Your Majesty, this Border Guard Marquis is a general. Although he is extremely brave, how did he become Your Majesty's treasure?”Empress Zhangsun said with a smile.
"Hey, Guanyin servant, you might not know this, but the border guard marquis is young and is similar to Lizhi, but he is very capable. Not only did he shock the barbarians in the desert with his own strength, but he also brought me a good plan to solve the drought. If this is not a treasure, what else can it be?”Li Shi Min said.
"A good solution to the drought? In that case, this person really lived up to his reputation. However, what exactly was this so-called good plan?”Empress Zhangsun asked.
" Mm, I don't know what to say. I can't say what the border guard marquis said either. I personally brought this good plan over. Take a look."
As he spoke, Li Shiming took out two charred sweet potatoes from his sleeve.
"This thing is called sweet potato. Although it looks ugly, it tastes sweet and delicious. This is what I snatched from Cheng Zhijie and Niu Jinda. I specially brought it for Guanyin to taste!”Li Shi Min said.
Snatching sweet potatoes from Cheng Yaojin and the others?
If this matter were to spread and be recorded in the annals of history, it would definitely cause future generations to laugh.
A dignified emperor actually wanted to snatch sweet potatoes from his subordinates. What kind of etiquette was this?
However, it could be seen that Mu Chen's sweet potatoes were extremely precious to Li Shiming, Cheng Yaojin, and the others.
As the saying went, the rarer an item was, the more valuable it was. It had nothing to do with its value.
In truth, if the Great Tang were to be in such a situation, suffering from a drought and the people suffering from starvation, the Great Tang would be in dire straits.
Under such circumstances, it was already quite good to have tree bark to chew on.
Sweet potatoes? At a time like this, it was definitely something worth tens of thousands of gold.
"This, this is called a sweet potato? Was it the solution to the drought brought by the Border Guardian Marquis?”Empress Zhangsun looked at the two plain-looking sweet potatoes in front of her and said in confusion.
"That's right, Guanyin maidservant can have a taste. I only ate one at Taiji Palace just now, and the rest were all snatched by Cheng Zhijie and Du Ruhui. If I hadn't sent down the heavenly might, I wouldn't have been able to snatch these two back from their hands!”Li Shimin said with a smile.
"If that's the case, Guanyin will definitely not let down His Majesty's good intentions!”
As Empress Zhangsun spoke, she was about to take the sweet potato.
However, at this moment.
"I want to try this sweet potato too!" Princess Changle said.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the sweet potato and ate it.
When she took the first bite, her expression changed slightly.
"This, this sweet potato is really delicious. Can you give me a few more?"
"Uh, didn't Imperial Father say just now that he only snatched two from Cheng Zhijie? If you still want more, you'll have to go find the border guard!”Li Shi Min said.
"Do you want it from the border guard? Alright, I'll go to the border guard first thing tomorrow morning!”Princess Chang Le said with a smile.
Empress Zhangsun shook her head when she heard this.""This girl finally got what she wanted!”
