God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 401 Who is Chang'e? (first update)
"His Royal Highness, didn't you say that His Majesty came here, just guessing? Why..."

Cheng Yaojin said a little depressed.

The mouth is still full of moon cake scum.

It's too late to let him go now.

"Yeah, this king guessed it!"

Li Chengqian waved his hands and said:
"You guessed it right!"

He also didn't expect Li Shimin to speak in such a timely manner!
Seeing that Li Shimin had come, Cheng Yaojin quickly stuffed another one into his mouth.Then he put the rest in the original place and said, "I'll take these later, Your Highness, you have to help me remember."

This old guy is really speechless... Will I still cheat on you?
"Okay, okay, I will remember."

"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness is here!"

At this time, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun had arrived in front of them.

"Meet Your Majesty, Your Highness the Queen!"

Everyone saluted.

Li Shimin said: no courtesy

Then he said: "When I was outside, I smelled a fragrance. I don't know what kind of novelty Gao Ming made this time? It makes me very greedy!"

The last feast of sweet potatoes and corn had left him with endless recollections.During this period of time, because Li Chengqian was busy with reforms, he didn't come up with any more novel things. Today, it started again. Li Shimin was thinking about it, thinking about it, and here it is.

"Yeah, I smelled it too, and the scent seems to be from roasting."

Queen Changsun said.

Their noses are really sharp, and they can smell it from such a long distance, but it also shows from the side that Li Chengqian's moon cakes are very successful.

"Huh? Zhijie is there?"

Only then did Li Shimin realize that Cheng Yaojin was hiding beside him, his mouth constantly moving.

"It's Your Majesty!"

Cheng Yaojin's reply was a bit funny, as soon as he opened his mouth, pieces of mooncake spewed out.

And spray all over the place.

It's disgusting.

Empress Changsun asked with concern:
"Zhijie, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

"Uncle Cheng, you'd better swallow the food before talking!"

Li Chengqian couldn't stand it anymore, this old man was really greedy.

Empress Changsun asked, "Oh? What does Zhijie eat?"

Li Tai went on to express:
"Queen, Uncle Cheng ate mooncakes!"

moon cake……

This word is a novel word for Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

Li Shimin asked:
"This must have been made by Gao Ming, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it was made by the emperor. You see, it is full of them."

Li Ke also said at this time.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun walked to the side of the moon cake.

After staring at the mooncakes for a while, they were probably also attracted by the fragrance.

"Is this a moon cake? Why is it called a moon cake?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

What he asked was what everyone wanted to know, because Li Chengqian didn't explain in detail just now.

Where do these natives know what mooncakes are.

So Li Chengqian said:
"Your Majesty, it's like this. Mooncakes symbolize reunion, and they are eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The so-called August and Fifteen months are perfect, and the Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes are fragrant and sweet! I want to combine moon appreciation with mooncakes. Through this round mooncake It symbolizes the reunion of family members and expresses missing. At the same time, mooncakes can also be used as an important gift for friends to connect with each other during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Giving each other, if you are away, can relieve homesickness.”

Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case.

"So that's how it is! Such an explanation is very good!"

"Your Majesty, there are patterns printed on this mooncake! It's so exquisite, I never thought that food could be so beautiful."

Empress Changsun had already picked up the moon cake and said after looking at it carefully.

Li Shimin took a look and asked, "Oh? What is this picture? The woman in the picture is so beautiful! Huh? You can actually paint on moon cakes. I am more and more surprised by your cleverness!"

It's not just him, is everyone like this?
He looked at the mooncakes like a turtle, and kept talking.

"Your Majesty, this is a picture of Chang'e flying to the moon!"

Li Yun also asked:
"Brother, who is Chang'e?"

Li Chengqian explained: "Chang'e lives in the Guanghan Palace above the moon!"

But what is the relationship between the two?Li Chengqian didn't wait for them to ask.

Then he said: "This is the meaning of my son's painting of Chang'e flying to the moon. This moon cake is like a moon, and there is Chang'e on the moon, expressing my hope for reunion."

"Okay, very good explanation!"

Li Shimin said straight.

At the same time, his explanation made everyone admire him.

"Then how does this mooncake taste?"

Empress Changsun got to the point.

"good to eat!"

Cheng Yaojin shouted.How delicious, he couldn't say a few words, only to be ignored.

"Your Majesty and Queen Mother, there are five flavors of mooncakes, each of which is very unique."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian picked up an egg yolk moon cake and presented it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took it, and a scent wafted out, which made him twitch his index finger.

Then put it directly into your mouth and start eating.

With this bite, the expression on that face became richer.

Empress Changsun also took a bite and said, "This food is really delicious in the world."

Li Shimin also said: "This moon cake is so fragrant?"

Afterwards, Li Shimin ate four of them in a row, still feeling unfulfilled.

"Gao Ming, the mooncakes are so delicious, why didn't you make them earlier?"

"My son has only been free recently, and it happened to coincide with the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I wanted to make it and share it with His Majesty."

Speaking of sharing, there are still five princes and three people who haven't had a bite yet. Even if they want to eat, they dare not tell, after all, Li Shimin is here.

Li Shimin's interest was very high.

"very good!"

Empress Changsun said at this time: "Your Majesty, this mooncake is worth promoting, and people will definitely thank Your Majesty!"

Li Chengqian continued: "Your Majesty, in fact, this is a gift from my son to Your Majesty!"

"Yes, this is a great gift! It will allow people to express their homesickness, increase people's cohesion, and make our people in the Tang Dynasty more stable. It is a great gift! Pass down the order, and use moon cakes after the moon sacrifices! In the future Eating mooncakes and admiring the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival must be promoted!"

At this time Li Tai said timidly: "Your Majesty, can we..."

"Aren't you hungry too? Come, come, take one each!"

Li Shimin said this, as if he made it himself.

Everyone stopped being polite and started to eat moon cakes. It was really good to praise.

Li Chengqian knew that the people of Tang Dynasty liked to eat sweets very much, but everyone who had eaten his mooncakes was like a soil turtle who had never seen the world, admiring that it was a delicacy in the world.

And Li Chengqian said again: "Your Majesty, I have made a large number of mooncakes, and I will only wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival to spread to the 3000 people."

By the way, a lot of points.

"feasible!"

Li Shimin would agree with what Li Chengqian said now.

Then just wait for him to perform well in front of 3000 people.
