"Delicious, really delicious. Empress, your culinary skills are really good.”
In the beginning, Tang Tian thought that Empress Zhangsun, as the empress of the Tang Empire, would only cook mediocre food. However, he did not expect his cooking skills to be so outstanding.
Tang Tian had grown up in the mountains for nine years. They ate all kinds of barbecued meat the most. There were no seasonings, so the taste was always monotonous.
After coming to Chang 'an, he finally had a few good meals. However, it was definitely not as delicious as Empress Zhangsun's cooking.
"It's good that it's delicious."
Empress Zhangsun was very happy. Her eyes were full of smiles as she looked at Tang Tian who was wolfing down the food. Her eyes were filled with gentleness.
She and Li Shiming didn't eat much and just watched Tang Tian eat.
At this moment, the three of them were like a family. Seeing Tang Tian eat happily, the two of them were also very satisfied and happy.
"Burp…"
Tang Tian burped to show that he was full. Then, he said to Empress Zhangsun and Li Shimin in embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, I was rude."
Tang Tian said apologetically. However, he was indeed like this. It was because he had never feared the Emperor's dignity that he could be so open.
Li Shi Min obviously didn't care about this and said happily to Tang Tian.
"It's good that you're full. Zhen has eaten the Empress 'food for more than ten years and has long been sick of it. I didn't expect you to like it so much.”
When he was happy, Li Shimin would joke with Empress Zhangsun, not even caring that Tang Tian was beside him.
Empress Zhangsun rolled her eyes. What she meant was, what nonsense are you spouting in front of the child?
Tang Tian said seriously.
"The Empress's cooking is indeed very delicious. These few years, I've always been in that remote place deep in the mountains. Every day, I eat all kinds of wild animals and have long been sick of them.”
Tang Tian didn't know that his casual words had touched the hearts of Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun. From Tang Tian's words, one could imagine how he had grown up in such an environment.
After all, Tang Tian was still a baby! According to Tang Tian, his master had left when he was still a baby, leaving only a few companions for him.
Empress Zhangsun could not help but blame Tang Tian's master in her heart. If it was in the past, she would never do this. Because Empress Zhangsun's personality was not the kind of person who would complain, but she had to treat people and things.
"Little Tian, since you like it, then I will make it for you every day in the future. You can come to the palace to eat it every day.”
Empress Zhangsun said.
Tang Tian shook his head.
"Forget it, forget it. However, I am still a subject of the Great Tang. How can I enter the Imperial Palace every day? If it is not good, Lord Wei Zheng will not let me off.”
Tang Tian said with a smile. In fact, this was not the main reason because Tang Tian was not afraid of anyone's rumors. It was mainly because Tang Tian felt that when he was with Empress Zhangsun and the others, he always had some inexplicable impulses and feelings.
He couldn't explain it clearly. He wanted to stay away, but he also wanted to get closer. It was very magical.
Empress Zhangsun shook her head in disappointment.
"Alright, but you can do it this way. BenGong will cook a few dishes every day and then send them to the Tang Public House. In this way, you can eat BenGong's cooking every day.”
Tang Tian was stunned, but he nodded when he saw Empress Zhangsun's expectant gaze.
"Then, it would be impolite for me to refuse."
Tang Tian could not believe that an empress would cook for him every day.
He began to wonder why Empress Zhangsun and Li Shimin treated him differently from the day they met at the North Gate.
After the meal, Li Shimin invited Tang Tian to walk around with him. As they walked along the palace corridors, the palace maids and eunuchs followed them from afar.
"Minister Tang, you recognized me at the North Gate, right?”
Li Shi Min asked directly because Tang Tian was not surprised to see him in the imperial court. It wasn't appropriate to ask in the imperial court, but there were no more concerns now.
"Your Majesty, this subject's perception is very outstanding. At that distance, His Majesty and the ministers could not see my appearance clearly, but I could see you clearly.”
Hearing Tang Tian's words, Li Shi Min suddenly understood. That was true. Tang Tian's personal strength was so abnormal. It was actually normal for him to have some magical abilities.
As they walked, the two of them chatted awkwardly, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Finally, Li Shiming revealed his purpose.
"Minister Tang, you are only nine years old, only one year older than my Crown Prince. I admire and like you very much. I want to take you in as my foster son. I wonder if you're willing. If you're willing, you'll be the Tang King that I'm investigating from now on.”
Li Shi Min's words stunned Tang Tian.
He actually wanted to adopt him as his foster son? Tang Tian was actually very shocked because he had only met Li Shimin three times including today. But under such circumstances, not only did he give him a huge reward, but he even wanted to take him in as his foster son now?
He looked at Li Shiming with anticipation.
Tang Tian was sure of this because Li Shimin could not hide his emotions at all. His heartbeat suddenly sped up. Since they couldn't acknowledge each other, could they temporarily be adopted sons? This way, he could also hear Tang Tian call him father.
Unfortunately, Tang Tian still cupped his hands in apology.
"Your Majesty, although I don't have a good impression of my parents whom I've never met before, I'm not very fond of them. However, their bodies, hair, and skin were all inherited from their parents.”
"Before I see them and know how they are, I will never acknowledge them as my father.”
Tang Tian said seriously, meaning that he only recognized his biological parents. Even if he hated them, it was the same.
Hearing this, Li Shi Min felt a sharp pain in his heart. He was extremely ashamed because Tang Tian was unmoved by the temptation of his godfather. It could be seen from his temperament.
"Alright, since that's the case, I won't force you.”
Li Shi Min said with a bitter smile. What would happen if Tang Tian found out that he was his father?
