Chapter 39 He Gives Too Much
"Cheng Zhongcheng, it's not the old slave calling you, it's your majesty who is affectionate!" Eunuch Zhao said with a smile.

At this moment, his attitude towards Cheng Yu can be said to be like a spring breeze, very friendly.

The emperor called me, just came down to court, what is the matter calling me at this moment?

Could it be that he repented and let me be the censor Zhongcheng? Don't be afraid, even if he repents, I still have a way to piss him off so that his mother doesn't know him, and I can earn a lot of points.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu raised his head, "Alright, let's lead the way, Eunuch Zhao!"

After arriving at the emperor's bedroom, Eunuch Zhao brought Cheng Yu in.

After entering, Cheng Yu discovered that Empress Changsun was also there.

"Eunuch Zhao, you should step back first, I have something to say to Cheng Zhongcheng." As soon as he entered, Li Shimin dismissed all the other court ladies and others.

Looking at the battle, Cheng Yu became even more puzzled, wondering what kind of medicine Li Shimin's gourd was selling.

However, although he was a little curious, he was not panicked. The soldiers came to cover up the water and soil, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

After everyone went out, there were only three people left in the room: Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and Cheng Yu.

"Your Majesty, I wonder why your Majesty called me here?" Cheng Yu asked calmly.

At this moment, Li Shimin's originally serious face suddenly turned into a smile, and even Empress Changsun looked at Cheng Yu with a smile.

For some reason, Cheng Yu felt that such a smile, such a feeling, seemed familiar!
He wasn't very scared at first, but after seeing their smiles like this, he was a little nervous.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, you might as well just say it. Looking at me like this really makes me a little scared!" Facing the two smiling faces, Cheng Yu couldn't help asking.

After he finished speaking, Li Shimin spoke leisurely.

"Cheng Aiqing, I'm here for nothing but to ask, are the corn and sweet potatoes you just took out in the hall still there?"

"Huh?" Cheng Yu made a confused sound.

Li Shimin quickly explained.

"Oh, it's like this. After I came back, I told the Queen about the corn and sweet potatoes. The Empress Changsun was a little curious, so I asked you to come and see if I could give it to us. Of course, I won't take it for nothing. Yes, I spent money to buy it, and paid ten times the price!"

"Yes, Cheng Zhongcheng, when Changle came back last time, she also said that she ate corn at your place. Later, she told me that it was very sweet, so I became interested." Queen Changsun also said.

Cheng Yu finally understood that the people who co-authored this Tang Dynasty were all foodies.

The familiar feeling just now was the same as when Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong came to see him.

At this moment, he is also full of black lines. He originally thought that the emperor was looking for him for something important. In the end, such a big battle was just for one bite?Can we get down to business?

No wonder I have to clear away the servants around me, it seems that I also feel a little embarrassed.

Although he thought so in his heart, Cheng Yu wouldn't say that, he nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, there are indeed some, but there are not many left. Only this one sweet potato and one corn are left. Mr. Qin and Mr. Yuchi just asked for a few from me, and I gave them all!"

After Li Shimin heard this, he thought to himself, why are Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong so greedy, and they actually attack faster than him.

"It doesn't matter, it's good to have one, but I just want to give Queen Changsun a taste of it. Isn't it considered to be seeing the world?"

"In this way, I will reward you with a thousand silver coins, which I bought!"

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Cheng Yu didn't want money at first, but there was no other way. He gave him too much.

That's a thousand bucks of silver. Buying a corn and sweet potato, whoever doesn't want it is a fool.

"Your Majesty is too polite. It's just a mere corn and sweet potato, so what if I ask His Majesty to eat it."

Li Shimin just wanted to be happy when he heard this, thinking that he could save this thousand silver.

As a result, Cheng Yu continued.

"However, I think, Your Majesty, you are also a person who wants face. If I don't accept it, then it will be a refutation of your face, and you must feel uncomfortable in your heart.

So between your discomfort and the subject's discomfort, let the subject feel uncomfortable. After all, the emperor's dragon body is important. "

Hearing this, Li Shimin almost vomited blood. This Cheng Yu was really good-looking when he got a bargain.

Besides, Li Shimin was always polite, thinking that Cheng Yu was a bit embarrassed to ask for it, but he didn't expect that not only did he ask for it, but he also asked for it so righteously, as if he had paid a lot for it.

But there is no way, a gentleman can't chase after a word, he has already said, the money must be cashed.

"Haha, yes, Cheng Aiqing, you are so considerate and you know how to feel sorry for me!" He said this with gritted teeth. Empress Changsun listened to it, feeling that the emperor wanted to tear Cheng Yu apart with his hands.

I really didn't expect that Cheng Yu's ability is indeed a bit big.

After taking out the corn and sweet potatoes and handing them over to the emperor, Cheng Yu left. Taking the thousand pieces of silver, Cheng Yu thought to himself, what should he do with the money that fell from the sky?

I’ve been in Datang for so long, and I haven’t had a good time visiting Chang’an City yet. Let’s take a shopping trip today!

After speaking, he happily walked out of the palace.

……

In the emperor's bedroom, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun stared at the sweet potatoes and corn in front of them with four pairs of eyes.

"Your Majesty, is this corn the one Chang Le mentioned earlier? It does look a little special!" said Empress Changsun.

"Yeah, this sweet potato looks quite unique, but I don't know how it will taste!" Li Shimin was a little absent-minded at the moment, and he was still feeling sorry for his one thousand guan.

Don't think that if you become the emperor, you don't care about money in his eyes. If you spend too much, it will hurt your heart.

However, when he saw Empress Changsun staring at the corn and sweet potatoes with a somewhat excited look, he thought to himself, it would be worth a thousand dollars to buy his wife a pleasure.

"Guanyin maidservant, let's quickly cook these two foods and try them!"

"Okay, then I'll ask Eunuch Zhao to come in and let the imperial dining room do it!" As Empress Changsun said, she was about to go out to call for someone, but was stopped by Li Shimin.

"Hey, no need, this time, let's make it ourselves, didn't Cheng Yu just say that this stuff tastes the best when baked.

It just so happens that I haven’t done it myself for a long time, so I’ll give it a try today! " Li Shimin said eagerly.
