Chapter 28: Turn the tide
Sure enough, Chen Zhengtai's directness made Princess Sui'an very uncomfortable. At this moment, she had a little shame and anger on her pretty face. Among Li Shimin's many children, her life experience was not good. At first, her mother was just a palace maid. Even because of Li Shimin's luck, she gave birth to Princess Sui'an, she was just a concubine. Compared with the children of Empress Changsun and other noble people, Princess Sui'an was like a little transparent.
Seeing her face slightly changed, Chen Zhengtai understood the little girl's thoughts and quickly explained: "Senior brother, I speak more straightforwardly, don't be surprised. The junior sister wants to learn how to cook. On the one hand, it is because of filial piety, and on the other hand, she also hopes to please her mentor, right?"
Princess Sui'an's pretty face suddenly turned red, and Chen Zhengtai directly exposed her thoughts, and she seemed panicked: "I...I..."
Chen Zhengtai shook his head and sighed, "Yes, I am the only disciple of my teacher. I can't understand the feelings of my junior sister. After all, in addition to being gentle and martial, my teacher also has a lot of noble qualities like this. What impressed me the most is that even if he works hard for the state, he will not forget to reproduce offspring and give birth to many princes and princesses for the country. The so-called governing the country without forgetting the family, first managing the family, and not forgetting to worry about the country. I really teach me that this disciple admires me and only hates myself for being stupid and not as stupid as my teacher, if it is humiliating my family, I am ashamed, ashamed."
Princess Sui'an was confused when she heard this and finally said, "What are you...what are you going to say?"
"I'm teaching you."
"Teaching me?"
"If you write down these words, they will be useful in the future." Chen Zhengtai looked at the junior sister with a smile, with pampering in her eyes.
"I...I think these words..."
"Okay, let's continue to get to the point. The junior sister wants to learn cooking, but the senior brother thinks it's a big mistake. Think about it, this cooking is ultimately a skill, the craftsmanship of the imperial chefs. Even if the junior sister cooks well, it can satisfy the teacher's desires, but what? You must know that flattery... No, the most important thing about this filial piety is to be anxious about what others are, and I have nothing to do. Junior sister, you are still too young to know the tricks."
Princess Sui'an felt thoughtful, but she understood these words. Her eyes raised slightly: "So, I don't know Erpigou County..."
Chen Zhengtai held his face and said, "Call me Senior Brother."
"Senior brother..."
Chen Zhengtai said: "Do you think the senior brother is handsome?"
Princess Sui'an: "..."
Chen Zhengtai sighed: "It's really a child who is unteachable."
Princess Sui'an couldn't understand what handsome is, and even more so why did her senior brother feel heartbroken?
Chen Zhengtai had no choice but to say, "Forget it, senior brother won't force you, it's not sweet to force melons. I just ask you, what does your mentor need most now, or what do he like on weekdays?"
"He...he..." Princess Sui'an thought for a long time: "Oh, yes, my father has a treasure that I have always loved. It is said that this thing was made of meteorites in the sky, neither gold nor iron, so my father hired a skilled craftsman to make a jade pendant. Speaking of which, this is really a rare thing. It can actually heat up on weekdays, but it can light up at night."
It can shine and heat.
The sky is against the meteorite...
"The father calls it a Wanshou Stone, and he wears it around him on weekdays and often plays with it. Master... Senior brother... Are the father interested in the Iron? Otherwise... I'll search for some..."
When Chen Zhengtai heard this, his face suddenly became very bad.
As we all know, any thing can still shine and heat without burning or power on, so the only possibility is...
Chen Zhengtai said: "When did the mentor collect this Wanshou Stone?"
"It's been two years."
"Did the mentor feel dizzy in recent days, and sometimes... he will have nosebleeds?"
"Yes, it's just that the imperial doctor can't find out the reason."
Suddenly... Chen Zhengtai seemed to understand something. He looked at Princess Sui'an and had an idea in his heart, so he narrowed his eyes: "Do you really want your mentor to look at you differently?"
"I...I..." Princess Sui'an's eyes turned red when she said this.
Her mother is indeed a concubine, and the mother and daughter are not popular in the palace. As the saying goes, the mother is noble because of her son. The mother has no son and only she is a daughter. She hopes that she will be more outstanding, so that the mother in the palace can be seen by others and live a life of life.
She gritted her teeth and nodded heavily.
"There is a solution, but the prerequisite is to fully trust the senior brother. You will do whatever your senior brother asks you to do. As long as things are done, the teacher will definitely look at you differently."
"Ah...is it really possible? I listen to my senior brother."
"Is the senior brother handsome?"
Princess Sui'an: "..."
Chen Zhengtai shook his head, it was such a tragedy. This little girl was blind. No wonder she was not doing well. Alas, but it didn't matter. He waved to her: "Come here, I'll tell you."
As he said that, he carried Princess Sui'an's earlobe, pulled it aside, and whispered in a low voice.
Chen Zhengtai held his ears for no reason. Princess Sui'an was both ashamed and anxious, but then, she was stunned by what Chen Zhengtai said: "This...this..."
Princess Sui'an looked at Chen Zhengtai with anxiety, and she was so scared that her face was as pale as paper.
Chen Zhengtai looked like he was holding his wise beads: "Don't worry, you are a princess and you can't die. This will definitely be successful. Junior sister, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You are about to become an adult and leave the palace to open a house. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have another chance."
Princess Sui'an left the Chen family with great worries.
She turned around and glanced at the dilapidated ritual gate of the Chen family, and the old-fashioned valuation. This was a symbol of a family gradually fading away. Now... the Luowu family, who chose the wrong choice, gave her a choice.
He...can't he betray himself?
Princess Sui'an, who was worried, returned to the palace.
When she arrived at the Forbidden Garden, she was a little tired. Li Shi, who was attending the service, said, "Your Highness, should you go back to the pavilion and take a break?"
Princess Sui'an thoughtful: "I'll ask Liss to find out where the father is now."
Lishi hesitated for a moment and went there anyway.
After inquiring, I found out that the emperor was in Taiye Pool at this time.
The Taiye Pond is located in the palace and is part of the garden forest in the palace. The lake water is rippling and the spring scenery along the coast is endless. It is Li Shimin's favorite place to go.
Princess Sui'an got up and went to Taiye Pool. When she arrived at the place, she was stopped by Zhang Qian, the attendant of the Inner.
Zhang Qian saw that Princess Sui'an was coming. Although she was obedient on her face, she was a little ridiculed in her eyes. The nobles in the palace were also divided into different levels. Although Princess Sui'an was a princess, her mother had a humble status, and Zhang Qian was an attendant and one of the leaders of the eunuchs. She was always with Li Shimin, so her status was naturally different.
Zhang Qian reluctantly saluted Princess Sui'an: "Your Highness, I am polite..."
"Can Father be here?"
"Your Majesty is taking a nap in the long pavilion in the lake, and he doesn't like being disturbed."
"I have something to see my father."
"This..." If it were Princess Changle or other princes, Zhang Qian would have greeted her with a smile and went to report happily.
Seeing Zhang Qian hesitant.
This deeply hurt Princess Sui'an's self-esteem. In the past ten years, although these eunuchs in the palace were all respectful to her on the surface, their actual situation was self-aware.
She was a little hesitant about what her senior brother told him.
But now, he became confident, so his pretty face tightened: "I don't allow it to see my father?"
Seeing that Princess Sui'an was angry, Zhang Qian was a little afraid that she would make trouble, so he reluctantly said, "I'll report it to you."
As he said that, he limped towards the Changting.
A few days ago, because of Chen Zhengtai's incident, he was beaten and still angry.
Not long after, Zhang Qiancai limped back: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, please go."
Princess Sui'an took a deep breath and arrived at Changting, but found that Li Shimin was leaning on the couch of Changting. Li Shimin looked very bad and looked weak. What Princess Sui'an didn't expect was that Princess Changle Li Lizhi was also there.
Li Lizhi peeled the grape skin, removed the seeds, and carefully fed it to Li Shimin.
Just now, Zhang Qian said that his father was resting, but in fact...
Li Shimin and Li Lizhi were whispering something, and Li Lizhi chuckled from time to time.
Although Li Shimin looked bad, his beloved daughter was around and he became more energetic.
From afar, when Princess Sui'an came, Li Shimin and Li Lizhi closed their smiles.
Princess Sui'an saluted: "I have met my father."
Li Shimin held Li Lizhi's hand and nodded at Princess Sui'an: "No need to be polite."
