Li Shimin quickly caught up with Empress Changsun and others, stepped into the living room before them, and did not forget to turn around and smile cunningly at the outside.

"Father, mother!"

Li Tai had already seen Li Shimin's carriage parked outside, and immediately stepped forward to greet everyone after they entered the living room.

"Qingque, is everything going well at the military factory recently?"

Li Shimin nodded slightly in response, walked to a seat and sat down casually.

"Replying to father, the workshop refined a lot of white sugar a few days ago. Now the finished sulfur has been sent from the Western Regions, and the production of explosives is proceeding in an orderly manner."

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded frequently, "Has the Xuanjia Army ever used explosives for training?"

Li Tai had to admire his emperor's brain circuit, he dared to think of this.

"Father, explosives are very important. We have not been able to determine whether sulfur blocks can be found in the Western Regions, so the Black Armor Army has been training with fake explosives of the same weight."

Li Shimin smiled, "In your opinion, can we try with real explosives?"

Li Tai hesitated for a moment, thinking that the Black Armor Army's bows and arrows could shoot more than seventy steps, so if they were tied with real explosives and the fuse was left longer, it should be possible to try.

"Father, maybe we can try it. We just need to leave the explosive fuse long enough, and safety should not be a problem."

"How about waiting for Su Chen to discuss it together?"

"Okay, then Su Chen will come over to discuss it." Li Shimin nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Are all the others not here?"

"Xiao Sizi and Jin'er went to the cowshed, the third brother and Rengui are at the Xuanjia Army training ground, and the fifth brother is wandering around the pig farm all day."

"By the way, the fifth brother said that by next year, at least 5,000 piglets will be born."

Li Tai told Li Shimin the good news. A few days ago, Li You told everyone that the sows now have bulging abdomens. Although it is not very obvious now, they are definitely pregnant.

"Haha... Not bad! The fifth brother has also made a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty. I have to think about how to reward him!"

Li Shimin smiled and thought about how to reward Li You.

If he had given him some money in the past, he could have easily gotten rid of him.

But it doesn't work now. With Su Chen, a rich man, around, who cares about that little money?

Li Shimin thought for a moment and shook his head.

It's hard to think about this kind of thing for a while, so just forget it.

Half an hour later, Su Chen came back from the kitchen...

"Your Majesty, it's past half past ten, are you hungry now?" Su Chen strode into the living room and asked the emperor when to eat.

"I... can still bear it!"

Only Su Chen dared to talk to the emperor, but Li Shimin never minded.

"Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, go call everyone back and prepare for dinner!" Su Chen heard the meaning of Li Shimin's words and immediately made arrangements.

"Wang Xi, set up three tables like last time!"

"Yes!"

Then, Su Chen looked at Li Junxian, "Commander Li, the kitchen has prepared the hot pot ingredients to be sent to the palace. Please arrange for a few brothers to deliver them. The old man's teahouse has also prepared one."

A yak has more than 400 kilograms of beef. Su Chen was worried about how to divide the beef. It was obviously not appropriate to leave it in the manor and eat it slowly.

"I obey your order!"

Li Junxian clasped his fists and saluted, then turned around and arranged for the accompanying guards to deliver meals to the ministers in the palace without even looking at the emperor.

They just had to execute what Su Chen ordered.

Unless Su Chen rebelled or killed the emperor, the emperor probably wouldn't even look at other things.

"Your Majesty, my brother-in-law went to his mother-in-law's house. Hasn't he returned to the palace today?" Su Chen sat next to Li Tai, deliberately keeping a distance from Li Shimin.

Li Shimin glanced at Su Chen, "Maybe he will return to the palace after noon tomorrow!"

"Oh, then he won't have a good time this time!"

"Haha!" Li Shimin smiled faintly and looked at Li Tai.

Li Tai nodded in understanding, looked at Su Chen and said, "Father intends to let the Xuanjia Army, which has been trained for some time, test the effect of explosives. Do you think it is feasible?"

Su Chen looked at Li Tai first, then leaned out and looked at Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, do you really mean this?"

Li Shimin turned his head to look at Su Chen and nodded.

"Okay, I've wanted to see a real bullet exercise for a long time!" Su Chen clapped his hands and shouted.

Su Chen's sudden move scared Li Tai beside him.

Now the raw materials for making explosives are not scarce, and it is affordable to use real bullets to test the effect.

It was almost noon, and Jin'er led the three little ones to the living room, followed by Changsun Yao and Fang Jingyi.

"Father, you are here!"

Perhaps because Li Shimin was closest to Xiao Sizi, the little girl ran to Li Shimin first.

Li Shimin opened his arms to welcome Xiao Sizi. "Mingda, come here!"

Xiao Sizi responded and moved closer to Li Shimin, raised his little head and asked seriously: "Father, are you here to eat beef ball soup? Beef balls are delicious!"

The speaker was unintentional, but Li Shimin instantly felt a 10,000-point critical hit.

"Mingda, you are not obedient!" Li Shimin smiled awkwardly and retracted his hands.

Little Sizi did not linger at all, and turned to run to Empress Changsun.

"Mother!"

Empress Changsun picked up Little Sizi, put her on her lap and said with a smile: "Mingda, you are fat!"

Little Sizi shook her head and waved her hands, and quickly explained: "Mother, you are wrong! Sizi is not fat at all. Put on more clothes. Look, there is a sweater!" The little girl lifted up two coats, revealing a fluffy bright red sweater.

"Okay, okay, Mingda is not fat at all! "Empress Changsun stroked the bridge of Little Sizi's nose.

While everyone was talking, the various hot pot ingredients prepared by the kitchen were sent to the dining rooms on both sides.

Li Ke, Xue Rengui, and Li You walked into the living room one after another.

Seeing that everyone was there, Su Chen stood up and said, "Your Majesty, let's prepare for dinner. Let's get down to business later!"

Li Shimin naturally knew what Su Chen meant by business.

"Hahaha, that's exactly what I meant!" Li Shimin stood up and laughed.

Wang Defa and Wang Xi immediately followed behind the two, ready at any time

Seeing this, Su Chen patted the old king on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Big and small kings, you will be at the same table with Commander Li, Zhang Long and others later. You don't need to take care of this place."

The old king was overjoyed when he saw that the emperor had not expressed his opinion.

Today's big meal is guaranteed!

"Thank you, Marquis Su. I'm not in a hurry!" The old king bowed.

"Hehe, then you watch me eat first! "Su Chen laughed and invited Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and others to take their seats.

The seating arrangement remained the same, and Xiao Sizi climbed up to the stool of Su Chen and Princess Changle.

The little girl thought that only by following her brother-in-law could she have delicious food!

The bamboo sticks that Li Shimin sent last time finally came in handy. Xiao Sizi couldn't hold the beef balls with chopsticks, so Su Chen specially asked someone to string more than a dozen strings with short bamboo sticks.

The beef bone soup in the charcoal pot on the table was boiling, and the aroma of the hot pot base was overflowing.

"Put the beef balls in first and let them cook for a while!" Su Chen poured the beef balls into the soup first.

Li Shimin looked at the beef balls in the soup pot, and suddenly remembered something he had not told Su Chen, and took out the portrait of the princess of the Western Regions from his sleeve.

"Su Chen, this is the portrait of the princess of the Western Regions, take a look."

Su Chen said nothing, took out a tissue to wipe his hands, and took the portrait, "Oh? I want to see if the Princess of the Western Regions and Li Ke are a good match! "

Princess Changle leaned forward to get close to Su Chen. She also wanted to know what the Princess of the Western Regions looked like.

Even Xiao Sizi pulled Su Chen to let him lower his hands. The little girl wanted to see the Princess of the Western Regions.

Su Chen was still unwilling to give up and insisted on pulling Li Ke and the Princess of the Western Regions together.

"It is said that the Princess of the Western Regions is extremely beautiful and has a beautiful appearance!" Li Shimin glanced at Empress Changsun and others and added with a smile.

Empress Changsun and the other four had seen the portrait, and their eyes turned to Su Chen, waiting for his reaction.

Princess Changle and Xiao Sizi only took a look and lost interest.

From the 'portrait', they didn't know what the Princess of the Western Regions looked like. But the person who painted it should be a person with no painting skills.

Xiao Sizi thought that she painted better than that person!

"Well, not bad! A tall nose, a long neck, bright eyes, and long wavy hair! "

Su Chen was stunned when he looked at the portrait, wondering which abstract painting master's masterpiece it was. Then he realized that it was painted by someone who couldn't paint.

But the meaning was very clear.

"Haha! Boy, are you kidding? Can that pattern that can't be called a painting really show a person's appearance?"

Li Shimin laughed disdainfully.

Perhaps it was because Su Chen had god-level painting skills, and even his ability to appreciate paintings was stronger than that of ordinary people.

"Hehe! Your Majesty, you don't understand this. When looking at this painting... you can't just look at its 'shape', you have to understand the 'meaning' in it. "Su Chen smiled and said unfathomably.

"In short, it's about the shape, not the shape! Well... Li Ke must be so happy in his heart! "

Li Ke at another table glared at Su Chen with an unfriendly look, and he was puzzled.

He had never said anything, so why did Su Chen hold on to him?

It was strange, after being mentioned by Su Chen several times, Li Ke would unconsciously imagine in his heart:

Is the Princess of the Western Regions really beautiful?

"Okay! If it is true as you said, I will definitely try my best to keep the Princess of the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty and make her the princess of the third son!" Li Shimin had blind trust in Su Chen. Su Chen said that the Princess of the Western Regions and Li Ke were a good match.

That must be right!

Yang Fei, who was sitting at the same table, opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to say.

However, if her son could really marry a beautiful Princess of the Western Regions, it seemed to be a very good thing.things.

Li Ke is one year older than Su Chen, and he will be an 18-year-old adult man next year.

"Little Sizi, the beef balls are ready to eat, here!"

"Be careful of the heat!"

Su Chen didn't care what others were thinking, and picked up a bunch of beef balls and put them in the little Sizi's bowl.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Little Sizi clapped her hands, her eyes were smiling.

She knew that she would definitely have delicious food with her brother-in-law!
