"Father-in-law, you haven't told me about this bow yet.”
Yang Chen had already vomited from eating hotpot during this period of time, so his gaze was focused on the heavy bow.
"Do you still remember Prince Jiang Xia, Li Daozong?”
"This bow is his gift to you. You are really lucky.”
In fact, Li Daozong had only given him a thousand-year-old red ginseng, and this black iron heavy bow was used by Li Shimin when he was the king of Qin.
Li Shi Min cherished Yang Chen very much, so he used Li Daozong as an excuse.
Yang Chen would never have thought that his slightly plump father-in-law was once a valiant general on the battlefield and even the King of Qin who had made great contributions to the Great Tang.
"That's impossible. I don't know Prince Jiang Xia at all, let alone have any old feelings.”
"And how did he know that I love bows?”
Yang Chen looked at Li Shi Min with a puzzled expression.
Could it be that the words he said after drinking that night, saying that he would not marry or cede territory, made King Jiang Xia like it very much?
However, only his wife and father-in-law knew that Yang Chen used a bow in Chang 'an.
Li Shi Min looked at Yang Chen's confused expression and felt proud.
You're still in the dark, right?
Yang Chen was shocked as he stared at Li Shi Min,"Father-in-law, did you do it?"
Li Shimin didn't expect this and admitted,"That's right. I was filled with respect when I heard your words that day. I told my good friend Li Jing about it, and Li Jing also objected to the marriage.”
"His Majesty has also changed the marriage proposal. Prince Jiang Xia, Li Daozong, doesn't need to marry his daughter to the distant Mobei.”
Yang Chen came to a realization. No wonder the Great Tang had sent troops to Mobei these past two days and even established the Northern Protectorate to guard against Xue Yantuo.
He looked at Li Shi Min deeply. This guy was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
At first, he called himself Mr. Li, then he called himself Merchant Li.
Now that he was able to become friends with Li Jing and control the government, he was no ordinary person. No wonder he always brought questions to him and often cared about the government.
Even his wife had inherited this from him. It was not without reason that she was born into a prestigious family.
Li Shi Min felt his son-in-law's respectful gaze and his heart was stirred.
Yang Chen immediately thought about it. There was no record of his father-in-law, Li Ji 'an, in history. Clearly, he was not a big shot.
"Father-in-law heard from Li Jing that His Majesty admires you very much after hearing your words and even wants to summon you. Do you have any thoughts of becoming an official?”
Li Shi Min put down his chopsticks, pulled Yang Chen over, and whispered into his ear.
Zhangsun Wuji, who was cooking pork belly, also pricked up his ears. If Yang Chen entered the official career, he would definitely become the Emperor's right-hand man.
Just now, His Majesty had even gifted the Qin King Bow to Yang Chen. It could be seen how important His Majesty was to him.
"No thoughts, no thoughts. I still have to open my restaurant and train Cai Wei every day when I go home. I just need to have some money and a powerful father-in-law.”
Yang Chen waved his hand. He was very satisfied with his current life.
A little money and a powerful father-in-law?
Li Shi Min was speechless when he heard this. Yang Chen was treating him like a thigh.
If I lay my cards on the table, you can hug even thicker thighs.
"What training?"
Zhangsun Wuji was very curious and was about to eat the greasy pork belly.
"It's about losing weight. Father-in-law, look at your stomachs. Do you want me to train you?”
Yang Chen could see the fat in their stomachs through their thick clothes.
Zhangsun Wuji didn't say anything. He just tore off the fat of the pork belly and put the lean meat into his mouth. It felt good, but it was a little spicy. His face instantly turned red and sweat appeared on his forehead.
Li Shi Min was also tempted, but he was busy with government affairs and didn't even have time to ride a horse or shoot an arrow. How could he have time to train with Yang Chen?
Yang Chen's next words made the two of them not know whether to laugh or cry.
"My big white tigress runs ten laps around Chang 'an City every day. Her belly has finally slimmed down.”
"Every day in the city, you just have to run along Vermilion Bird Street twice.”
It was not appropriate for the emperor and prime minister to run in the city.
Li Shi Min shook his head and continued to eat the mutton and fish.
"Your body is your own. Eat more vegetables and drink less. Come, father-in-law, try this taro. It's nutritious.”
Yang Chen saw that his father-in-law was a picky eater, so he picked up a piece of taro and gave it to Li Shimin, hoping that he could live longer and protect his son-in-law in Chang 'an.
Li Shi Min didn't know what he was thinking, and was extremely touched. He said,"Many thanks son-in-law. Back then, my Cai Wei chose you, she was the right person.”
The last time he went to Yang Chen's courtyard, he visited Chang Le. Chang Le's face was ruddy, fair, and chubby. His life was good.
In comparison, Li Shimin's other sons-in-law were only married on the surface due to political marriages.
"That's…"
Yang Chen remembered that his family was happy. He hoped that he could work harder with Changle during the Spring Festival, find a doctor to prescribe some medicine, and have a daughter in October next year.
However, his good friend Zhangsun Chong's fiancée, Princess Changle, had been kidnapped by the Turks. This was too tragic, and he wanted to ask his father-in-law about it.
"Father-in-law, I've been troubled by something recently. I don't know how to solve it.”
Li Shi Min was delighted to see Yang Chen's worried face and that he had something to ask of him.
"Just tell me," Li Shi Min said with a smile,"I'll help you."”
"Father-in-law, do you know where Princess Chang Le is?”
Everyone knew that Princess Changle had been captured by the Turks and her whereabouts were still unknown.
Only Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji knew that Princess Li Lizhi of Changle had married Yang Chen under the alias of Li Caiwei.
