Chapter 225
Princess Changle was frightened by Li Shimin's sudden roar.
"Father, the scoundrel is Su Chen, I didn't say anything about you."
Princess Changle stepped forward and grabbed Li Shimin's arm, saying aggrievedly.
Li Shimin turned his head to look at Su Chen beside him, squinted his eyes, and asked:
"Oh? Did you do something improper to her?"
Li Shimin knew very well that Su Chen was not the kind of person who coveted beauty.
Well, he didn't love money much either.
Su Chen shook his head quickly, "How is it possible!"
Li Shimin saw Su Chen denying it, and looked at Princess Changle again.
"Father, I'll ask someone to move the ice watermelon out. The watermelon is very sweet."
Princess Changle let go of Li Shimin's arm and went outside the palace to find someone to move the watermelon.
"Stop!"
Li Shimin called Princess Changle.
"Your Highness, may I ask where the watermelon is now? I can send someone to get it."
Wang Defa, who was following Li Shimin and the others, stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Eunuch Wang, Xia He and the others are in the side hall outside. They know where the watermelons are."
Princess Changle stopped and said to Wang Defa.
The two watermelons were frozen. Changle didn't know how long Su Chen and the others would stay in the imperial study, so she asked someone to continue freezing them with ice water.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Li Shimin and the others walked into the hall, only to see Empress Changsun looking at them with a smile on her face.
"Your son greets your mother!"
Li Chengqian paid respect to Empress Changsun in a filial manner.
Empress Changsun smiled even more, stood up and took two steps forward, waved to Su Chen, "Su Chen, come and sit!"
Su Chen had planned to pay respect to Empress Changsun after Li Chengqian paid respect, but Empress Changsun called him first.
Li Chengqian was ignored by him!
"Okay, mother!"
Su Chen stepped forward quickly and bowed: "Mother, please sit down!"
"Your Majesty, please sit down too!"
Li Shimin took a few steps forward and snorted coldly when he passed by Su Chen.
Su Chen's smile froze, and he thought to himself: 'Your Majesty, you must have taken the wrong medicine! '
"Su Chen, you sit down opposite."
Empress Changsun glanced at Li Shimin and said to Su Chen, Li Chengqian and the other two.
"Okay!"
After Su Chen sat down, he looked around and didn't find the two little guys, so he asked:
"Li Zhi, where are the two little guys?"
"They were still there just now, and someone will find them later."
As soon as Princess Changle finished speaking, Wang Defa, Xia He, and several other palace maids came to Lizheng Hall.
Wang Defa held a big watermelon in his hand and placed it on a small table beside him.
"Lizhi, didn't you cut the watermelon just now to eat?"
Su Chen asked curiously. The two little guys should be eager to taste the watermelon when they saw it.
However, he overlooked that they had never seen watermelon, so watermelon was not very tempting to them.
"Wait for you... and father to come and eat together!"
Princess Changle wanted to say 'wait for you', and quickly changed her words to bring Li Shimin with her.
"Boy, is this the watermelon you mentioned? How to eat it?"
Li Shimin asked, looking at the big and round watermelon.
"Cut it with a knife and divide it into small pieces!" Su Chen replied with a smile.
Li Shimin nodded, "Old man! Send someone to get a knife."
"Yes!"
"Old Wang, use a kitchen knife to cut the watermelon. Other knives are not clean." Su Chen reminded Wang Defa.
"Thank you, Lord Su, for reminding me!"
The old king hurried out of the palace, "Oh, little princess, be careful!"
As soon as Wang Defa arrived at the palace gate, little Li Zhi and little Sizi ran into the palace.
Little Li Zhi crossed the threshold of the hall smoothly, and little Sizi lay on the threshold and kicked hard with his legs, "Ha!"
After crossing the threshold, little Sizi clapped his hands and chest.
It was just that Su Chen's sight was blocked by Changle, so he couldn't see the cute scene of this little guy.
But Su Chen heard the little Sizi's "Ha" just now.
Little Li Zhi quickly came to Li Shimin and the others, and was about to greet them.
But he saw Su Chen looking at them with a smile on his face.
Little Li Zhi bowed and saluted: "Brother-in-law!"
Little Sizi ran from behind, shouting:
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law..."
Her pronunciation has improved a lot now. Seeing Li Zhi bowing and saluting, she also followed suit.
Before, when Little Li Zhi greeted Su Chen, he would not bow, but just saluted with his hands.
"Hmm~ hum!"
Li Shimin coughed falsely, trying to attract the attention of the two little guys.
"Chi Nu greets father, brother, and sister!"
Little Li Zhi hurriedly saluted Li Shimin and Li Chengqian.
"Father, this is a watermelon, brother-in-law's!"
Little Sizi was not afraid of Li Shimin, and ran to the big watermelon to show off to Li Shimin.
She didn't know that the watermelon was edible. When Changle told Empress Changsun before, the two of them didn'theard.
I only know that this is called watermelon, and Su Chen sent it to the palace.
After a while, the old king came back with a knife, followed by a palace maid holding a basin of water.
"Boy, do it!"
"Let me see what this watermelon looks like!"
"Okay, Your Majesty, wait! Li Zhi, go get some wooden plates."
Su Chen stood up and walked towards the watermelon, picked up the knife and scratched it in the basin, and wiped it dry with a cloth.
The two little guys followed Su Chen.
The watermelon was split into two pieces, and the other piece was put aside.
They couldn't finish half a watermelon.
Continue to divide the watermelon into small pieces, and finally cut it into small triangles.
"Little Li Zhi, Little Sizi, this is yours!"
Su Chen handed a plate of cut watermelon to Little Li Zhi.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!"
Little Li Zhi was still polite, but sometimes he looked a little shifty.
"Thank you, brother-in-law! The watermelon is so beautiful!"
Little Sizi clapped his hands and smiled with his teeth showing.
"Little Sizi, this black thing is watermelon seeds. It's okay if you swallow it accidentally.
But if you spit it out, you can use it as seeds and plant a lot of watermelons next year."
Su Chen said this to Little Sizi and to everyone else. It's better to teach children.
Little Li Zhi and Little Sizi listened carefully, thinking seriously.
"Brother-in-law, Little Sizi knows! Watermelon seeds are seeds. Spit them out and plant watermelons next year!"
Little Sizi was very happy that he understood what Su Chen said, and clapped his hands happily.
"Little Sizi is so smart. Go eat watermelon, be careful not to dirty your clothes!"
The two little guys put the plate of watermelon on the chair and ate it slowly.
Spit out the watermelon seeds very seriously and put them on the chair.
"Father, mother, this watermelon is very sweet, and it is even more refreshing after being frozen."
Princess Changle brought another plate of watermelon to the coffee table next to Li Shimin.
"Brother-in-law, eat watermelon!"
Su Chen brought two small plates of watermelon, one for each person.
"Brother-in-law, you said that these black watermelon seeds can be used for planting next year.
So, can these watermelons be planted in the Tang Dynasty in the future?"
Li Chengqian asked while eating watermelon.
"Yes, I still have a lot of watermelon seeds, but it's too late to plant them this year."
Su Chen didn't know how many acres of land could be planted with 100 kilograms of watermelon seeds, so he just said that there were a lot.
Li Shimin ate watermelon while listening carefully to the conversation between Su Chen and Li Chengqian.
