Chapter 17 That's your sister

Although Zhao Chen just asked casually, he also wanted to test it.

Uncle Fu and Zhao Chen persuaded him for a long time.

Although the world is peaceful now, Zhao Chen is suffering from a hidden illness and Uncle Fu is getting older, so there is always a time to take the first step.

Zhao Chen can't live without someone to take care of him.

The best way is to find someone to marry.

Of course, the ordinary person Fu Bo would not want to do it.

The last time I met Lao Li's family, Zhao Chen recognized Mrs. Li as his aunt. Uncle Fu thought this was an excellent opportunity. .??.

Kissing and kissing.

Is it possible that Mrs. Li still underestimates Zhao Chen?

So after Uncle Fu had been provoking him for a long time, Zhao Chen agreed to wait until Lao Li came back and test it out.

Seeing Lao Li looking at him without saying anything, Zhao Chen didn't know for a moment whether he didn't understand what he meant.

My heart skipped a beat and I asked, "Does Azhi have an engagement?"

"Never before!" Li Shimin replied subconsciously.

After saying that, I wanted to slap myself in the mouth.

This...what did I say?

Li Shimin looked at the table legs, wondering what he was thinking.

"It's a pity that Zhao Chen's parents have passed away and his family is poor. If this continues, I don't know when I will be able to find a match." Zhao Chen sighed pretending to be melancholy.

Uncle Fu is an expert, relying on his two observations of Lao Li.

As long as Zhao Chen says this, Lao Li will definitely say, "In that case, I will betroth my daughter to you so that we can get married."

Zhao Chen had already pierced the window paper, so he just had to tell Lao Li directly, marry your girl to me as my wife.

As long as Lao Li was not a fool, he should have reacted immediately.

"Cough cough - cough cough -"

Li Shimin almost got angry to death for giving Zhao Chen such an obvious hint.

If it had been before, he would have just agreed.

But now.

Why is this little bastard suddenly so shameless?

\u003c

br\u003e That’s your biological sister.

If I hadn't been able to tell the truth, I would have tied you up and whipped you!

Li Shimin cursed secretly in his heart.

Even though he was angry, Li Shimin knew that he could never let this matter continue.

Otherwise, he, Li Shimin, would be the eternal sinner of the Li family.

"Ahem, Zhao Chen!" Li Shimin coughed lightly and calmed down.

"I just remembered that Azhi actually made an engagement with someone the year before last. It was your aunt who made it. It took a long time for me to remember it." Li Shimin said perfunctorily.

After hearing what Li Shimin said, Zhao Chen was just slightly stunned, but also relieved.

He just wanted to give Uncle Fu an explanation. Li Shimin was unwilling, and Zhao Chen didn't take it to heart.

After all, no father wants his daughter to marry a short-lived ghost.

No matter how capable this short-lived ghost is.

Li Shimin also felt that the words he just said made Zhao Chen think too much.

But I couldn't explain too much, so I thought of changing the topic quickly.

"Zhao Chen, do you have any plans for your future?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

Because he suffers from qi disease, Zhao Chen has long been accustomed to all kinds of strange looks, and his character is as stable as a rock. How could there be any fluctuations because of Li Shimin's rejection?

With a faint smile, Zhao Chen said, "People in the world are chasing fame and fortune. For me, it's just a passing cloud. What I want to do is live a simple life, farming and fishing. That's enough."

After hearing what Zhao Chen said, Li Shimin was a little disappointed.

The Tang Dynasty relied on military force to establish the country. As Li Shimin's son, even if Zhao Chen was unable to go into battle to kill the enemy due to physical reasons, he should at least think about pursuing a career in literature and politics to help the country.

Who would have thought that Zhao Chen would be so unambitious.

I just want to farm at home.

If you are an ordinary person, with excellent calligraphy and painting, and top-notch cooking skills, you can still achieve some fame.

But as the heir to the throne, how can he deal with the aristocratic family that is eyeing him with no means? A powerful enemy lurking inside and outside?

Although he was disappointed in his heart, Li Shimin did not show it. He forced a smile on his face and said, "A carefree life is quite enviable."

Zhao Chen saw the expression on Li Shimin's face and understood what he was thinking, but he just smiled.

He poured a new cup of tea for Li Shimin without saying a word.

"By the way, Zhao Chen, your aunt is ill. I would like to ask you to make her a lighter diet, can you?" Li Shimin said.

He also thought that Queen Changsun of the Li Zheng Palace might not be able to eat the food in the palace. Knowing that Zhao Chen was a good cook, she wanted to ask him to cook a dish.

If she knew that the dishes were made by Zhao Chen, I think Queen Changsun would have more appetite.

"Okay." Zhao Chen nodded and stood up.

…

In the Li Zheng Hall, Queen Changsun looked at the table full of food and had no appetite at all.

"Withdraw, I'm not hungry." Empress Changsun waved her hand and signaled the waiters to remove the food.

"Queen, Your Majesty has ordered, please eat as much as you like." The personal maid advised.

"I have no appetite for the moment." Queen Changsun shook her head.

The personal maid wanted to persuade him again, but she saw Li Shimin walking in carrying a wooden box.

"Your Majesty!" The maids and eunuchs saluted in unison.

"These have all been withdrawn. I personally brought some food here." Li Shimin said.

"yes!"

The palace maid responded and took the food off the table.

"Guanyin Maid, I specially asked that boy Zhao Chen to make delicious dishes for you. Please try it." Li Shimin helped Empress Changsun sit down and opened the wooden box.

There is only one dish in the wooden box, red and yellow.

As soon as the lid is opened, the fragrance comes out.

"Gu——"

Empress Changsun couldn't hold it back and swallowed lightly.

She had no appetite just now, but suddenly she felt that her glutton was being awakened.

"Zhao Chen said, this is fried duck eggs with tomatoes. Knowing that you can't eat eggs, he specially changed it to duck eggs."

"When I was cooking the pot, I couldn't help it. When Zhao Chen wasn't paying attention, I secretly ate a piece. It was as delicious as I've ever tasted!" Li Shimin said with a smile.

Only when he was with Empress Changsun would he be so careless about his image.

"Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty!" Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin's thin face and said slowly.

"Guanyin maid, please eat first." Li Shimin said soothingly.

"Hmm - this tastes really good. That kid Zhao Chen doesn't know where he came up with these things."

"After one bite, I will feel hungry." After just one bite, Empress Changsun beamed, not hiding her inner joy.

This is a meal specially prepared for me by a child whom I cannot recognize.

Not to mention the delicious taste, Empress Changsun felt very happy to be able to eat the food cooked by her children.

"That boy Zhao Chen told me that he just wanted to be a country man, farming and fishing, and he almost made me angry to death." Li Shimin and Empress Changsun couldn't help complaining.

As the eldest son of the Tang royal family, how could he be so undisciplined?

"Zhao Chen has been suffering from illness for sixteen years. All he seeks is good health and freedom." Empress Changsun put down her bowls and chopsticks and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, if Zhao Chen just wants to be idle all his life, then let him be. Being an idle prince and living a happy life is also a blessing."

"It's just that the crown prince's position..." Queen Changsun did not continue.

The harem does not care about state affairs, and even if she is a queen, she never dares to go beyond the rules.

She believed that Li Shimin would handle this matter well.
