Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 17 Detoxification in Progress
In order to detoxify his younger siblings, Gao Ming racked his brains. In addition to the essential garlic and mare's milk for every meal, he also prepared fungus and kelp.

In the Tang Dynasty, fungus and kelp were both used as medicinal materials. Among them, fungus was relatively easy to find, but it took a lot of effort to find kelp.

In this era, kelp is called "Kombu". It is not only a kind of medicinal material, but also a relatively rare medicinal material. Fortunately, Gao Ming himself is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise he might not be able to find this thing.

It’s better not to worry about cooking wisely. Knowing that these two things are what the crown prince wants to eat, the Shangshi Bureau began to study the recipe overnight, and finally came up with the finished product the next day—fungus fungus and kelp chicken soup!
Gao Ming was not too surprised by this result, because after staying in the palace for so many days, he already knew that these chefs in the Tang Dynasty had only two ways to cook, besides cooking or roasting.

However, this is nothing to Gao Ming, and the cooked food can retain the nutrition of the food to the greatest extent, while the roasted food can give full play to the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves, coupled with the craftsmanship of the royal chefs, it is better than the instant noodles he used to have every day. Kimchi has seen better days.

So when the female officials in the East Palace brought this chicken soup with fungus and kelp to the table, Gao Ming laughed.

"Come, come, come, this dish is the treasure of detoxification prepared for you, you are welcome, eat it quickly!"

When Gao Ming was talking, Su Wan'er, who was standing next to him, had already filled a bowl of soup, scooped it up with a small spoon, cooled it carefully, and then brought it to his mouth.

Seeing the spoon next to his mouth, Gao Ming instinctively opened his mouth, allowing Su Wan'er to deliver the soup into his mouth.

After Gao Ming drank the soup, he found that his younger brother and sister were looking at him in surprise. He couldn't help blushing, and after coughing twice, he took the bowl from Su Wan'er's hand.

"Ahem...that Wan'er, there are no outsiders here, you should sit down and eat."

"Yes!"

After Su Wan'er sat down, Gao Ming also scooped up a spoonful of soup for her, then nodded at her.

"Come on, drink more, this thing is good for your body, if you like that garlic, you can eat some, don't worry about me."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er didn't know what to think of, her pretty face immediately flushed with shame, and she looked at a loss.

Seeing this scene, Li Mingda next to him immediately "giggled" and laughed.

The little girl smiled innocently, but it made Gao Ming realize the filth in his words, and his face immediately turned red.

"Cough, cough, cough...a slip of the tongue, this is a slip of the tongue!"

While talking, he glared at Li Mingda who was laughing non-stop, but this made the latter laugh even more happily, and now Gao Ming was helpless.

For his eccentric younger sister, Gao Ming had nothing to do, so he could only give Li Zhi a "vicious" glance at the opposite, and then snorted coldly.

"Hmph, brat, do you want to see it? Do you still want to live? Don't look at me with a lying gun expression, why don't you eat all the garlic on the table?"

"..."

Although Li Zhi didn't understand what "laying the gun" meant, he knew that Gao Ming was trying to anger him, but he also knew that Gao Ming would not harm him, so he picked up the garlic on the table and ate it without saying a word.

Seeing Li Zhi whose face was distorted from eating garlic, Gao Ming felt inexplicably better. At this time, he also picked up a garlic head on the table and ate it. While eating, he grinned at Li Lizhi next to him. grin.

"Lizhi, you can eat too, it's up to you whether you drink the soup first or the garlic first."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Lizhi suddenly showed a wry smile.

"Brother Huang, my younger sister never eats meat, you know that, I..."

Li Lizhi's "meat" naturally did not refer to meat, but to stinky food like onion and garlic, so before she could speak, Gao Ming waved his hand.

"No, no, this is not a discussion with you. It is for your treatment. You must eat this meat. If the eldest grandson has any objections to their family, you let them come to me."

As soon as Gao Ming said this, Li Lizhi immediately had nothing to say, she could only pick up the garlic on the table with a wry smile and ate it. After taking a bite, her embroidered eyebrows frowned.

At this time, Li Zhi who was sitting opposite had already eaten all the garlic in his hand, and then smiled at Gao Ming.

"Hehe, speaking of this meat, brother, you don't know. When I went to the station this morning, the officials even wrote a letter to refer to the father, saying that the father was disrespectful. At first I didn't know how to reply. Thing, when I was in court, I smelled a lot of garlic on my father, haha!"

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Mingda and Li Lizhi couldn't help laughing. Perhaps in their view, it was a rare experience to find out about Li Shimin's embarrassment, but Gao Ming frowned.

From Li Zhi's tone, we can know that for the sake of the so-called "gentleman's manner", Li Shimin usually does not eat garlic, why did he suddenly eat it at this time?

The answer is obvious, that is to eliminate the heavy metals left in the body due to long-term consumption of Jindan, but how did he know that eating garlic can help him detoxify?
Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly laughed.

"He started eating before I said it, that's good, it saves me a special trip."

Gao Ming knew very well that in this palace, it was still difficult to hide anything from Li Shimin. It happened that he didn't know how to tell Li Shimin about it.

The most important thing is that now that Li Shimin has used his recipe, it will not be easy to pursue him for killing the parrot in the future, which also makes Gao Ming a lot easier.

When the mood improved, so did the appetite. Gao Ming squeezed the garlic in one hand and held the bowl in the other, and ate like a rattle. Under his influence, even Li Lizhi felt that his appetite improved a lot.

After the meal, the female officials immediately brought up the tea, Gao Ming chatted with Li Zhi while drinking the tea.

"Pheasant slave, tell me about the station shift!"

Gao Ming’s Zhanban is actually the morning court, because everyone except the emperor stood under the court during the court, so it is also called Zhanban.

At this time, Li Zhi had just picked up the teacup, and when he heard Gao Ming's words, he quickly put the teacup down, and then nodded towards Gao Ming.

"Yes, brother!"

He was silent for a while, as if he was holding back his words, and it took a while before he spoke again.

"I only went to court with my father in June last year. I didn't understand many things in the court, and I just stood aside and listened to the court. The major events in the court were mainly decided by my uncle and my father. Why did you suddenly think of this? What's wrong?"

Li Zhi's words were a little tactful, with the airtightness of a veteran court official. In the words of later generations, what he said was actually the so-called "scene talk".

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy pretending to be mature, Gao Ming felt very awkward, so just as Li Zhi finished speaking, Gao Ming immediately shrugged his shoulders with his mouth pursed.

"It's nothing, I'm just bored and ask, in fact, I'm not interested in the court at all, you don't have to take it to heart."

Saying that, Gao Ming didn't wait for Li Zhi to agree, he turned his head and smiled at Li Mingda.

"Si, brother, I'm getting tired of eating meat these days, so you can think of a way!"

Li Mingda just turned 11 years old this year, but he is very smart. Seeing Gao Ming's wicked smile, he immediately understood what he meant and laughed along with him.

"Hee hee, brother, don't worry, I'll go to Father Emperor's place in the afternoon, and if there are any vegetarian dishes, I'll bring you some."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Gao Ming immediately showed a bright smile.

"Hey, you are indeed my own sister, come, let me give you a hug."

"No, hee hee hee..."

Seeing the playful two, Li Zhi and Li Lizhi couldn't help laughing.
