I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

"Your Majesty, I have a good idea. However, Wang Wan told the Queen that His Royal Highness Prince Ji is arrogant.

She didn't even take the queen's relatives into consideration.

She also said that she had already mentioned the Empress Dowager, and asked His Royal Highness Prince Ji to let Wei Yuanzheng off for the Empress Dowager's sake.

As a result, His Royal Highness Prince Ji did not give the Queen any face at all and beat her directly. "

Wang De felt that Li Shimin's guess was correct. Wang Wan must have relied on the Queen's power to speak harshly to Prince Ji, so she was beaten.

"Bastard!" Li Shimin cursed angrily when he heard Wang Wan went to the Queen to complain.

"This Wang family girl is too outrageous, doesn't she know that the queen is ill?

The imperial physician warned the queen not to get too emotional. This Wang family girl, for her own selfish reasons, actually disregarded her aunt's health. It seems that the tenth master may have been too lenient. "

For Li Shimin, nothing was more important than his wife's health.

For this, he can pay any price and obey everything.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. How about I teach her a lesson tomorrow and give her a warning?" Wang De hurriedly tried to appease Li Shimin when he saw him getting angry.

The Queen must not get excited, and Your Majesty must not get angry either, otherwise it will be bad for your health.

"What about Wang Wan?"

"Your Majesty, it's so late, I guess he has left the palace."

Li Shimin was still angry.

“The daughter of the Wang family is used to being taken care of by the Queen, and she thought everyone would tolerate her, but she didn’t even consider where she was going.

The Tenth Master couldn't even tolerate Chi Nu, let alone her, an outsider?

She has already suffered a loss at the hands of Old Ten in this matter, so let's ignore it for now and see if she will go and provoke Old Ten again out of ignorance.

Let's go see the queen." Li Shimin said as he stood up and was about to go downstairs.

Wang Xing ran up to report:

"Your Majesty, the Queen and the Imperial Concubine are here."

"Huh?" Li Shimin was a little surprised. It was such a coincidence that she came just when he was about to see the queen.

Just as he was thinking about it, Empress Changsun took Concubine Wei and went straight upstairs without waiting for Li Shimin to summon her.

"I have met His Majesty."

"No need to be polite, Guanyin maid, noble concubine, why are you here? Come and sit down."

Li Shimin took his two virtuous wives to sit on the terrace and personally poured a cup of tea for them.

"Your Majesty, I made a pot of sea cucumber soup for you today to nourish your body. You said Your Majesty hasn't had dinner yet, so I brought it over to eat with you."

Concubine Wei took the initiative to speak at this time, and then took an earthenware jar from the servant behind her and placed it on the table.

"Sea cucumber soup?" Li Shimin was a little confused when he heard this word. It was the first time he heard of sea cucumber.

Could this be another good thing that the rebellious son got? This bastard, every time there is something good, he is the last one in the palace to know about it.

It's as if this father of mine is not my biological son.

Out of curiosity, Li Shimin opened the lid and could vaguely see a skeleton inside. Could this be a sea cucumber?

But this soup smells really good, and the soup looks thick and appetizing.

"Someone, go get a bowl." Li Shimin ordered immediately.

"Your Majesty, the soup is a little cold. Why don't I take it to the back and heat it up before drinking it?" Wang De asked in a low voice.

"No need, let someone bring a charcoal stove, I'll drink here." Li Shimin shook his head.

Wang De had no choice but to go in and get out a bowl and a spoon.

The charcoal stove was also ready, and the clay pot was placed on it. After a while, the aroma filled the air.

"It smells so good!" Empress Chang Sun couldn't help but praise it.

"My dear, what ingredients did you use for this soup?"

"Your Majesty, not long ago Shen'er sent me an old chicken and a large piece of pork ribs, and told me that they would be very nutritious when stewed into soup.

Yes, and I also took a box of sea cucumbers." Concubine Wei replied.

"Sea cucumber?" Li Shimin had really never heard of this name.

"Haha, Erlang, you will know what it is when you see me later." Empress Changsun laughed.

This made Li Shimin even more curious. When he opened the lid, the aroma became stronger. Li Shimin picked up a long spoon and couldn't wait to scoop the soup.

"Your Majesty, let me taste it first. I am greedy and have never tasted such delicious soup."

Wang De moved his face closer with a flattering look on his face.

"Seeing how you look, okay, I'll reward you with a bowl of water." Li Shimin shrank back, leaned back in his chair and cursed with a smile.

"Hehe, thank you Your Majesty for the reward." Wang De smiled, took out a bowl and a spoon, and filled himself with a bowl first.

I blew it gently and took a small sip.

"It's delicious and fresh. It's the first time I've tasted such a delicious soup." Wang De praised as he drank.

Empress Changsun and Concubine Wei smiled but said nothing and just waited.

After about a quarter of an hour, Li Shimin became impatient with the aroma.

"Okay, I'm a little hungry."

"Your Majesty, this soup doesn't look cooked enough. How about..."

"I said I'm hungry." Li Shimin emphasized before Wang De finished speaking.

"Oh, since Erlang is hungry, just drink it. Sister, have a bowl with us." Empress Changsun interrupted.

"Thank you, sister." Concubine Wei nodded with a smile, picked up the soup spoon and scooped it in for a while, then served herself a bowl first.

Then he served a bowl to Empress Changsun and Li Shimin respectively.

He picked up the soup and drank it first.

Empress Changsun smiled and started drinking, while Li Shimin stared blankly at his bowl and scooped out a long object with a spoon.

"Is this the sea cucumber that my beloved concubine was talking about?"

"Haha, yes, this is the name given by Shen'er. It is said to be good for health and as good as ginseng." Empress Changsun laughed.

"Humph, anything in his mouth is better than the elixir from heaven. Isn't this a sea rat?"

Li Shimin had a look of disdain on his face. Just changing the name would make him better than ginseng?

"Erlang, what Shen'er said is of course true. Shen'er would never lie to his sister.

Otherwise, Shen'er wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles from Liaodong to bring back a box on express horse.

This is enough to show Shen Er's filial piety."

Seeing Li Shimin's disdain, Empress Changsun explained with a smile.

"He is so filial that he sent a box to his beloved concubine." Li Shimin said as he took a big bite of the sea cucumber.

It is delicious, not only has the freshness of seafood, but also the freshness of chicken soup and pork ribs soup.

But the more delicious it was, the angrier Li Shimin became.

The harder you chew the sea cucumber in your mouth.

“It’s delicious indeed. Shen’er is really filial. He can even bring something like this back from afar.

If Erlang likes it, I will have someone prepare some every day." Empress Changsun took a bite and immediately praised it highly.

"Sister, just eat one or two a day. Shen'er said that eating too much is not good.

Shen'er also said that it can be cut and cooked into porridge, which is also good for the body.

My sister is weak, so Shen Er specifically told her to eat it every day."

"Really? It can also be used to cook porridge. I will try it tomorrow."

(In class: Hello, students.

Sea cucumber was called "tu meat" during the Three Kingdoms period, "hai rat" after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and "hai cucumber" after the Ming Dynasty.

And now Japan is still known for its sea rats.
