Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked at each other when they saw Li Shiming joining the commoners.
"Brother Lin, let's go help as well.”
The two picked up a hoe each and joined the crowd.
Seeing that the three of them had taken the initiative to help, Lin Han touched his chin and revealed a puzzled expression.
From their behavior, he could tell that the three of them did not look like people who had done heavy work.
Now that there was no benefit, he helped to dig the reservoir, which made him very puzzled.
"Brother Lin, what is this?”
Li Shiming pointed at the pile of cement on the ground and asked.
Lin Han knew that the Tang Empire didn't have cement yet, so he said,""This is cement. It's very strong when used to build walls.”
"The cement?"
Li Shi Min and the other two were curious.
"Is it as strong as soil?" Zhangsun Wuji asked.”
"Are you kidding me?" Lin Han laughed. The raw materials of this cement are limestone and sandstones. Do you think it's stronger than soil?”
The three of them looked at the cement on the ground. Although they were curious, they did not ask any more questions.
Soon, it was noon. The sun rose high in the sky, and the high temperature enveloped the entire land.
"Alright, everyone go home and rest first. We'll dig again when the temperature drops in the afternoon.”
"Alright."
Hearing this, the commoners stopped what they were doing and returned home.
At this moment, Lin Han turned to Li Shiming and the other two.
Seeing the three of them sweating, Lin Han smiled and said,""Thank you for your hard work. I'll make hotpot for you later.”
"Hotpot?"
"Actually, it's nothing much," Lin Han said."I just boiled some sweet potato slices, potato slices, some vegetables, and meat.”
"Isn't this a hodgepodge?" Zhangsun Wuji asked.”
"It looks like a hodgepodge, but it's a different story when it's eaten," Lin Han said.”
"Alright, then I'd like to see what's different about your hotpot." Li Shimin said with anticipation.”
As they spoke, the three of them returned to the city.
As soon as they entered the mansion, Princess Chang Le walked out of her room.
"Husband, you're back."
"Gong…"
Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were shocked to see Princess Changle. They were about to shout out, but Li Shiming waved his hand to stop them.
Li Shiming felt that there must be a reason why Princess Changle was here and why she called Lin Han husband.
Princess Chang Le was also surprised to see Li Shi Min and the other two.
"Madam, let me introduce you to the three friends I told you about before. They are the ones who helped Qinghe County donate food." Lin Han quickly introduced them.”
"Alright, I'll go get the ingredients for the hotpot. Help me take care of them.”
"Alright."
Princess Chang Le nodded with a dull expression.
After Lin Han left, Li Shiming said with a gloomy face,""Lizhi, your mother and I sent people to look for you, but you came here.”
Princess Chang Le quickly knelt on the ground and sobbed,""Imperial Father, your daughter does not wish to marry Zhangsun Chong.”
"This is not up to you to decide," Li Shi Min said coldly.”
"I'm already married to Lin Han as a concubine, so I can't go back with you."”
"What? You married Lin Han as a concubine?”
Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were shocked.
Li Shi Min widened his eyes and pointed at Princess Chang Le,"What did you say? You married Lin Han as a concubine?”
Princess Changle nodded." That's right. Lin Han is a good official. He works hard day and night for the people."”
"Compared to Zhangsun Chong, my husband is a hundred times, a thousand times stronger. Let alone being his concubine, even if I were to be his maid, I would be willing.”
"Rebel, this is simply rebellious!"
Li Shi Min was trembling with anger at Princess Chang Le's words.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Perhaps the princess was just confused for a moment.”
"Yes, the princess might just be confused for a moment.”
Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling quickly tried to persuade him.
Princess Chang Le looked at Li Shi Min and said," I'm not muddle-headed. I'm very clear-headed. Lin Han and I are already husband and wife. If Father insists on bringing me back to the palace, I can only die in front of him."”
"You dare to disobey my father for Lin Han? Aren't you afraid that my father will kill him?" Li Shi Min said angrily.”
"Your Majesty, you can't do that," Fang Xuanling said."Have you forgotten the purpose of our visit?"”
"Whether or not the flood in Shandong can be solved depends on him.”
"Yes, Your Majesty, you have to consider the big picture.”
Zhangsun Wuji was very angry that Princess Chang Le married Lin Han.
But he knew what was more important.
The anger on Li Shi Min's face slowly disappeared.
At this moment, Lin Han walked over.
Zhangsun Wuji saw this and quickly said,"Princess, get up quickly. Lin Han is here."”
Princess Zhangsun also knew that now was not the time to reveal her identity.
He immediately stood up.
Lin Han walked up to them. Although he felt that the atmosphere was a little off, he did not care.
"Old Li, Old Sun, Old Fang, I've prepared the hotpot. Let's go!"”
"Alright."
The three of them squeezed out a smile and followed Lin Han into the hall.
Princess Chang Le paused for a moment and followed him in.
"Old Li, let me tell you. The hotpot I make is unique in the Great Tang. I guarantee that you'll want to eat it again after eating it once.”
After the three of them sat down, Li Shiming looked at the ingredients and said,""Eh, why does this look so similar to the Lao Guo I ate before?”
"The ingredients are about the same, but they were placed in the dry pot before. Now, they are placed in the oil pot." Lin Han smiled.”
Lin Han picked up a piece of pork belly and said to Li Shiming and the others,""Watch carefully."
As he spoke, he put the pork belly into the oil pot and said,"When eating hotpot, we pay attention to freshness. Therefore, after the ingredients are put in, they can't be cooked for too long. Otherwise, the freshness will be gone.”
After saying that, Lin Han picked up the pork belly and dipped it in some water."You can eat it now."
"I think this is very simple."
"That's right. It's similar to the Lao Guo we ate before.”
Seeing this, Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling imitated Lin Han and picked up a piece of pork belly and placed it into the oil pan.
"Old Li, what are you thinking about?" Lin Han asked.”
"Alright."
Li Shi Min smiled, picked up a piece of pork belly with his chopsticks and put it into the pot.
In fact, he was thinking about whether he should let Princess Chang Le continue to be Lin Han's concubine.
If he agreed, how was he going to explain it to Empress Zhangsun?
If he didn't agree and forcefully took Princess Chang Le away, it would make her sad and expose her identity.
At this moment, Lin Han brought over a plate of potato chips from the table beside him.
Then, he said to Princess Chang Le," Madam, I know you like to eat thinner potato slices, so I specially cut a portion for you. Take a look. If you feel that it's thick, I'll cut it for you again."”
Princess Chang Le took the plate and looked at the potato slices that were as thin as cicada wings. Tears suddenly flowed down her face.
"Madam, why are you crying?"
Princess Chang Le wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said,""No, it's steam."
Seeing this, Li Shi Min sighed in his heart. He had made up his mind.
