Li Shimin looked past Empress Changsun and others in front of him, looking towards the direction where Su Chen had already gone far away.

He laughed at himself.

I don't know when I can live as freely as Su Chen.

Eat when you are hungry, leave when you are full.

Empress Changsun stared at Li Shimin, and she actually saw a trace of envy in the emperor's eyes.

"Erlang!" He took two steps forward and gently took Li Shimin's arm.

"Haha!" Li Shimin patted Empress Changsun's back of the hand, looked at Wang Defa beside him, and said:

"Old Wang, remember these three things."

Wang Defa bowed his body and listened.

"Send someone to the left and right guards to tell Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and Qin Qiong that I will allow them to take a day off tomorrow."

"Order the imperial chef named Cheng from the imperial kitchen to take the two to the manor to learn new cooking skills..."

"Finally, send someone to the Honglu Pavilion to find out the purpose of the Western Prince and Princess' visit." Li Shimin paused for a moment, and laughed as if he remembered something.

"Well, by the way, find out the appearance and age of the Western Prince and Princess."

Wang Defa waited for more than ten breaths, and bowed when the emperor finished speaking:

"Yes! I will do it right away."

The last time Li Shimin saw Cheng Yaojin was at Zhangsun Wuji's house, and Yuchi Gong had not seen him for a long time.

The two of them were very important to the emperor. Yuchi Laohei had saved Li Shimin from danger several times.

Including the time at Xuanwu Gate, there were a total of four rescues!

There will be a sumptuous meal tomorrow, and Li Shimin will naturally share it with those old brothers!

After the old king left, Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun, Concubine Yang and others and smiled: "Guanyin, my beloved concubines, I haven't played mahjong for a long time. Today I am itching to play, I wonder if you are willing to accompany me!?"

When Concubine Yang and others heard Li Shimin say that he wanted to play mahjong, they rarely showed shyness.

Li Shimin played mahjong with them, but it was not for money.

But Taizong risked his reputation as the greatest emperor in history and enjoyed the beautiful feast of the harem beauties.

"Su Chen... who did you tell your father before that wanted to marry?" Princess Changle gently pulled Su Chen's sleeve and asked.

Princess Changle, who was in the imperial family, naturally knew about the marriage.

Not only that, Princess Changle knew that the princesses who married had a very sad fate.

Let’s not talk about the distant past. Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty is the most vivid example.

Princess Yicheng married four people, including the father and son of the Turkic Qimin Khan, and Jie Li Khan was her last husband.

“Haha, that’s just my guess! Don’t worry, I dare not brag about other things.”

“But if anyone dares to come to the Tang Dynasty to marry a princess, I promise to keep all three of his legs in the Tang Dynasty.”

“Let alone marrying a princess, even the women of ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty are not eligible to be married by foreign barbarians!”

Su Chen clearly felt that Princess Changle had been worried since she came out of the palace.

Now I understand that it was because of this matter!

“Brother-in-law, don’t lie!”

The little Sizi sitting opposite Su Chen looked at Su Chen and waved his little hand seriously to persuade Su Chen.

“Hey! Little Sizi, don’t you believe me?” Su Chen was a little surprised. This little girl always trusted him, but today she said he lied.

"People don't have three legs, they all have two legs!" Little Sizi explained, patting her legs with her hands.

Perhaps the little girl felt that the evidence was not sufficient, so she slid down from her seat.

"Brother-in-law, look, Sister Jin'er also has two legs." He ran to Princess Changle and patted her legs, "My sister also has two legs!"

Su Chen looked embarrassed, secretly blaming himself for not paying attention to the occasion when speaking.

People with three legs... are indeed rare!

Princess Changle's worries were gone, and she asked Su Chen with a smile, "Yes! Su Chen, don't people all have two legs? Who has three legs?"

"Show me your third leg?" She smiled at Su Chen, and asked Su Chen for the third leg with her palm facing up.

Su Chen felt that a few crows flew past his mind, rolling up a few leaves...

"Pop!" Su Chen looked down at Princess Changle's outstretched hand, hesitated for a few seconds, and slapped it.

Hurry up and change the subject. Can you just take that thing out and look at it casually?

"Well... let's talk about the three legs later. Let the carriage go faster, go back and slaughter the cow to make beef balls. If you're lucky, you can have a bowl of beef ball soup tonight!"

The Changle Avenue is extremely flat.

Soon, the carriage stopped steadily in the manor square.

"Li Zhi, you guys go and have fun! I'll go find Wang Xi and see those cattle and sheep in the Western Regions."

Princess Changle nodded, and walked into the palace with Jin'er and the three little guys.

"Do you want to go and see it together?" Su Chen looked at the three Li Tai brothers.

"You guys go, I'll go to the Xuanjia Army to see the training." Li Ke looked at Su Chen with an unfriendly look!"Brother-in-law, I won't go!" Li You said and ran out of the manor, probably to the sow breeding pig house.

"Wang Chao, Ma Han!"

Su Chen called the two to walk to the wasteland by the river, where the temporary cattle and sheep pen was built.

"No! Call a few more people and bring a thick hemp rope." Su Chen thought about it, those yaks must be bigger and more irritable than domestic cattle.

Two or three people will definitely not be able to get them back.

"Okay, Lord!" Wang Chao bowed.

"By the way, ask if there is anyone who can slaughter cattle." Su Chen said again.

A few minutes later, Wang Chao took a bundle of hemp rope and called five more guards over.

"Lord, the guards have never had experience in slaughtering." Wang Chao did not find a guard who could slaughter cattle.

It is normal that these guards have no experience in slaughtering. It is illegal to slaughter live cattle in the Tang Dynasty, so few people can slaughter cattle.

The guards have never killed cattle, but they have a lot of experience in killing people.

"Is that so? It's okay! Let's get a yak back to the manor first. I don't believe that we can only eat beef with hair without a butcher!"

Su Chen decided to bring the cow to the manor first, and then study how to slaughter it.

"My Lord!"

Wang Xi hurried over from outside the manor, holding up her skirt.

"My Lord, the 245 yaks and 230 goats from the Western Regions sent by the palace have been put into the pen."

"Fifteen carts of yellow stones have been sent to the military factory, weighing about 6,000 kilograms. Cotton and seeds are still in the manor."

Sulphur blocks are not as heavy as ordinary stones of the same volume. It looks like a cart weighs about 700 kilograms, but it actually weighs less than 500 kilograms.

Wang Xi reported to Su Chen the items received. The amount of cotton and cotton seeds is difficult to estimate.

A lot!

The yaks and goats were brought from the Western Regions to the Tang Dynasty, and some losses occurred on the way.

Li Tai heard that sulfur had been found from the Western Regions, and he was curious and wanted to go and see, "Su Chen, I won't watch you slaughtering cattle. I'm going to the military factory now."

Previously, sulfur was extracted from pyrite. One thousand kilograms of pyrite could only extract ten kilograms of sulfur, and the sulfur output was extremely low.

Su Chen nodded.

"Wang Xi, ask someone in the village to ask if there is anyone who can slaughter cattle."

"Wang Chao, Ma Han, let's go and lead the cattle!"

Su Chen waved his hand and led seven people to the cattle and sheep pen.
