i have a suite in tang dynasty

And the princes were also very kind, this time Lin Yu saw princes whom he had never seen before: Li You, Li Yin, Li Yun, Li Zhen, and the next emperor in history—Li Zhi.

Chapter 374, Huoguo

"Brother, here!"

Li Tai raised his hand to call Lin Yu, who responded with a smile and walked towards him.

"Second brother, you look extraordinary. You are dressed so brightly. Are you going to show off your skills today?"

"Brother was joking, with you here, my three-legged cat skills are nothing!"

After the two sat down, they chatted and laughed with each other. Li Yun and Li Yun next to him also had a few words with Lin Yu. These two people have been in the outer city all the time, but the distance is not too far.

Today was called back by Li Shimin to participate in hunting, so it was the first time to meet Lin Yu.

Lin Yu's popularity is in stark contrast to Fang Yiai who is sitting in a corner drinking.

The latter looked at Lin Yu angrily, drinking one cup after another.

After about half an hour, a deafening gong sounded, and everyone who was talking stopped immediately.

All eyes turned to Li Shimin, who stood up and said loudly,

"Today I invited all my lovers to come to hunt. Firstly, I came to celebrate the great victory in Xiliang. Xue Aiqing led an army of 20 strong, and I believe that he will be able to return to the court in a few days."

After speaking, everyone cheered in unison.

Li Shimin pressed his hands empty, his voice fell silent again, and he continued,

"Secondly, it's to invite all the lovers to enjoy the delicious food."

As soon as these words came out, all civil and military officials looked at me and I looked at you, but no one knew what kind of medicine Li Shimin was selling in the gourd.

Because in the minds of many ministers, good taste is not a delicious dish, but represents a certain kind of affairs.

Whether it is rights or something else, it is not known.

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin looked at Lin Yu again, and said in a somewhat arrogant tone,

"Brother Yu often travels overseas, but you may not have eaten this delicacy today."

Lin Yu looked at Li Shimin who was mysterious and cherished, and thought to himself what the hell, so he took it out to have a look, just saying it was useless.

As long as there were things in the Tang Dynasty, as long as they were edible, how could they not be available in modern times?Just looking at Li Shimin's smug expression, Lin Yu couldn't help guessing what the so-called Jiawei was.

"Your Majesty, what's delicious, take it out and let the big guys taste it?"

As soon as Lin Yu said this, all civil and military officials were stunned. May I ask among the hundreds of people present, who would dare to speak to the emperor in such a frivolous tone?

Li Tai on the side also secretly tugged on Lin Yu's sleeve, suggesting that the other party should pay attention to the occasion. It would be fine if he was alone, but now that there are so many people, he still needs to be more solemn.

After all, Li Shimin is also a face-saving person.

But Lin Yu didn't care so much, after changing the money yesterday, his popularity in Li Shimin's heart has risen, and it is estimated that even Changsun Wuji's status is not as high as Lin Yu's.

Li Shimin laughed loudly,

"Look, if you are in a hurry, it's okay, let you open your eyes and present the fire fruit!"

"Hot Pot?"

Lin Yu's face was full of black question marks, thinking that this old boy won't be demented, right?He once invited Li Shimin to eat hot pot, but now it has become Li Shimin's patent?

Also, don't be afraid of getting angry if you eat hot pot on this hot day!

But after a row of eunuchs presented the things, Lin Yu immediately realized that he was wrong, but his head was still full of black lines.

What a delicious taste, and it's so mysterious, isn't that green-skinned and underworld one a watermelon?

An eunuch brought a plate, and there was only a piece of watermelon in a plate. It was clearly a piece, not a whole, nor a half.

Except for Li Shimin's larger one, all the others are small pieces the size of half a palm.

Lin Yu's eyes were straightened, and he picked up the watermelon dumbfounded. Then he remembered that watermelon was introduced to China in the early Tang Dynasty. At that time, it was only available in the northern region, and the cultivation of watermelon in the southern region only started in the Northern Song Dynasty.

So watermelon was considered a super luxury at that time, and ordinary people couldn't afford it at all.

However, after long-distance transportation and bumpy watermelon, the appearance of this watermelon is really not good.

The ministers had never seen a watermelon before, and they couldn't help salivating when they saw the rosy flesh of the watermelon.

It's just that in people's consciousness at that time, the more beautiful the thing, the more poisonous it is, so they just looked at each other, and no one dared to move their mouths.

Some people even thought it was a trick deliberately made by the emperor, maybe it was poisonous, or it was to see who was loyal.

If Lin Yu knew what they were thinking, he would definitely be lying on the ground laughing and rolling, this is simply a drama.

Li Shimin looked at the watermelon and said, "This is a tribute fruit from the Western Regions. It is called Huoguo. It is sweet and refreshing. It is really a rare delicacy. There are a total of twelve Huoguo in this batch. I will bring it to a banquet today and invite all my lovers to taste it together." But before tasting it, who will sing a poem for this fire fruit?

Those who sing first, eat first! "

As soon as the words came out, the discussion started immediately. Someone looked at the watermelon on the table and frowned.

Some people were talking with the people next to them, and seemed to have the intention to stand up, but they didn't dare to come out.

Because none of them knew whether this watermelon was edible or not, and whether it was poisonous. The emperor said it was delicious, so it was really delicious.

There were a lot of arguments for a while, but none of them really stood up

Lin Yu glanced around, then shook his head helplessly, this is really just an ordinary watermelon, why is it still being guessed.

Li Tai on the side also frowned, approached Lin Yu and asked in a low voice,

"Brother, what do you think the father means by doing this?"

"Ah? What do you mean? Isn't it just to invite everyone to eat fruit? What do you think it is?"

Lin Yu was also speechless to Li Tai, it's fine for others to doubt it, but you, a son who doubts me, can't justify it.

Li Tai shook his head with a heavy expression,

"I don't think it will be so simple, otherwise none of these ministers will stand up."

Lin Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

Li Shimin was in a good mood at first, but when he saw that no one stood up, his complexion gradually turned cold.

"Could it be that everyone is humble to each other and doesn't want to be the No.1? If that's the case, I'll appoint it by hand."

For a while, the audience was silent, and everyone's eyes were on Li Shimin. The scene was just like the teacher's roll call in class to ask questions.

"Liu Hu, come here!"

As soon as the words fell, an older minister stood up tremblingly, congratulated with both hands, and said in panic,

"The emperor forgives the crime, the old minister has no ink, I am afraid that he will not be able to enjoy this honor."

Good guy, just say that you can't recite it, which makes Li Shimin's face even colder,

"Forget it, then you can eat first."

When Liu Hu heard this, his face turned blue with fright, he quickly took two steps and knelt down,

"I thank the emperor, but the old minister has no merit and no virtue, and dare not enjoy this honor. The emperor also said that only those who recite poems can eat the first bite of fire fruit. Please forgive me."

Li Shimin's face turned dark when he heard this. He has been the emperor for so many years, how could he not know what a group of ministers are thinking?

This originally good mood was completely gone, he swore secretly,

"As for you, a group of power-scheming ministers, I invited you to eat fire fruit with good intentions, but everyone thought that I was going to harm you. Well, that's great. Next time I have something good, I will enjoy it alone. I don't even have the skin. Leave it to you."

Li Tai approached Lin Yu again and whispered,

"Brother, look, if there is no problem, how dare Liu Hu disobey his father's words?"

"Second brother, it's a good thing to be careful, but if you're too careful, it will hurt people too much. I think this thing is very good, and the taste should be good. Why don't you try it?"

After hearing this, Li Tai waved his hands again and again,

"Impossible, don't act rashly, let's see what others do."

Lin Yu shook his head and said,

"Second brother, you are cowardly by nature, you have no courage and fearlessness, and you are also suspicious. This is not a good sign, and it is useless to be suspicious. Only by trying it yourself can you know why."

After finishing speaking, Lin Yuteng stood up, and everyone's eyes were on him instantly.

"Your Majesty, would you like me to try?"

Li Shimin smiled, but he was very disappointed with those ministers and princes, but finally someone stood up, so he was not so embarrassed,

"Okay, Brother Yu please."

Lin Yu waved his hand again and said,

"If I recite it, it will be the first bite. But I still don't know what the taste of fire fruit is. How to recite it? Let me taste it first."

After speaking, he picked up the watermelon on the table and ate it.

This scene shocked everyone. Some ministers who were further away half stood up and stretched their necks, wanting to see what would happen to Lin Yu.

Li Tai frowned angrily. He hated himself for being unprepared just now, and let Lin Yu pick up the fire fruit. If it is really poisonous, what should we do?

Cheng Chumo sat in a slightly remote place. Seeing this scene, he was filled with admiration for Lin Yu. He secretly gave a thumbs up. He was as greedy as he was, and he didn't dare to eat this unknown thing at this moment.

Fang Yiai sat in a corner and looked at Lin Yu angrily, "Eat it, it's better to poison you to death."

Chapter 375, cheating

After Lin Yu finished eating, he wiped his mouth and threw the watermelon rind back, then closed his eyes slightly, and his body froze in place.

Everyone's hearts were raised, the ministers' eyes widened, Li Tai's teeth were clenched, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He regretted it. If he had stopped it earlier, Lin Yu would not have eaten the fire fruit. Judging from the situation, it may be more or less ominous.

"Many places in Huai Township, natural jasper clusters."

When Lin Yu opened his mouth suddenly, everyone trembled in shock, thinking they had cheated on the corpse.

Li Tai's sad face faded, and he looked at Lin Yu in surprise.

"The body is bright when broken, and the teeth are cold at the chewing point."

The ministers looked at each other, and they all saw doubts in each other's eyes, and then looked at Lin Yu again.

"Clear the enemy's flame power to recede, cold raw wine capacity is wide."

At this time, many people suddenly realized that Li Shimin was really just inviting them to eat fire fruit, not testing them, and everything was their own wild imagination.

And that Liu Hu was so regretful that he wanted to die, wishing to bang his head on the fire fruit and die.After living most of his life and being an official for decades, he still can't figure out the emperor's thoughts, so what future is there for him to talk about?

Fang Yiai turned her head,

"Hmph! It's your fate!"

While looking at Lin Yu, Cheng Chumo secretly snapped a piece off the tip of the watermelon, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth while everyone was not paying attention.

After one bite, the mouth is full of sweetness, which is really refreshing and delicious.

At this time, Lin Yu just said the last sentence:

"There is no such thing in the east gate, the ice tray is clustered with snow flakes."

After speaking, Li Shimin immediately applauded

"it is good!"

His face was full of joy,

"Good poems, good poems. It's true that heroes come out of teenagers, and even a group of children and scholars have never chanted them. Good!"

When Li Shimin said this, the ministers all bowed their heads in shame. They knew that Li Shimin was talking about them, and because of suspicion, they might hurt Li Shimin's heart this time.

Lin Yu bowed his hands to thank him, and Li Shimin asked,

"You have this poem, what's the title?"

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Yu said,

"Watermelon! This is a tribute fruit from the Western Regions, and it is similar to winter melon, so I named it that."
