Chapter 481 Eating Locusts

Harem, Legislative Hall.

The eldest grandson Wugou, Li Lizhi and Yue Shan were sitting around a table, and there were six dishes on the table.They are fried locusts, fried locusts, braised locusts, fried locusts and so on.

Looking at the six 'delicious delicacies' in front of him, Changsun Wugou said dumbfoundedly: "Is this the delicacy you and the sage asked for?"

"Yes, it's delicious if you try it." Yue Shan smiled.

"Nonsense, I don't know what the sage thinks, but he's making trouble with you." Changsun Wugou said helplessly.Thinking of what was going to happen in Daxing Palace, she was angry and funny.

"How can you make a fuss, it's really delicious food." Yue Shan picked up a fried locust with chopsticks and chewed it gently in his mouth.As if to prove his words, he deliberately narrowed his eyes to look intoxicated.

The eldest grandson Wugou was speechless, while Li Lizhi was terrified, as if he couldn't believe that his 'good brother' dared to eat such a horrible thing.

Only Yue Shan knew that his intoxicated expression was not entirely fake.It can only be said that the imperial chef is the imperial chef, and his cooking skills are definitely five-star. The locusts he made are many times more delicious than the ones he ate at the night market in his previous life.

So much so that he couldn't help but want to eat a few more.

"I'm not lying to you, you can try it too." Looking at the expressions of the two, Yue Shan said with a smile.

"Really?" Changsun Wugou saw that he didn't seem to be pretending, so he said half-believingly.

"No, it's disgusting, I don't want to eat it." Li Lizhi shook her head like a rattle.

"It's really delicious, I won't lie to you. You'll know once you taste it. If it doesn't taste good, just throw it away." Yue Shan picked up another locust and put it in his mouth, saying.

Seeing how delicious his food was, Changsun Wugou finally couldn't bear it any longer, he ate whatever he wanted, no matter who was afraid of him.

Then she picked up the chopsticks and put a fried locust into her mouth apprehensively. The next moment, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Fragrant, I really want to.Crisp, super crisp.Crisp, very crisp.

To sum it up is two words, delicious.

Now she finally let go of her doubts, and started eating with chopsticks, one after another.

Beside, Li Lizhi swallowed subconsciously when she saw that her mother and 'good brother' were eating so deliciously.

Could it be...really...delicious?But... so scary...

Yue Shan, who had been paying attention to her all the time, also saw her entanglement, and immediately picked up a locust, removed its wings and legs, and handed it to her: "Little lady is the bravest, come and taste it."

The locusts peeled off by my good brother?Li Lizhi's heart warmed up, she couldn't live up to her brother's wishes after eating.

Then she didn't even use the chopsticks, so she just opened her cherry mouth and ate the locusts on Yue Shan's chopsticks.

Then...it became three people grabbing locusts to eat together.

Soon, only a bunch of wings and legs remained of the six locusts.

The eldest grandson Wugou wiped his mouth gracefully and said, "I never thought that locusts, which scare the world, are so delicious."

"Yes, yes, it's really delicious. My brother is amazing, and I discovered another delicious food." Li Lizhi said happily.

"You, you don't even understand the merit of your good brother's actions." Changsun Wugou said dotingly.

"Is discovering delicious food a merit?" Li Li asked doubtfully.

"You will understand in the future." Changsun Wugou said.

Li Lizhi didn't understand, how could she not understand what this move meant.From then on, locusts will no longer be a terrible disaster, but a delicacy on the people's table, and the significance of the representatives has become greater.

No wonder the saint is willing to fool around with him.

No, this is no longer a nonsense, and this banquet will surely go down in history.

"Locusts are not only a delicacy, but also a kind of medicinal material, which can treat multiple diseases. Regular consumption of locust powder also has a certain effect on the old lady's chronic illness." Yue Shan said.

"Really?" Changsun Wugou said in surprise.

Asthma has become one of her heart problems. Although there are good news from the medical school, she still can't feel at ease.She was not afraid of what would happen to herself, but Li Lizhi.

Now that she knows another prescription that can treat asthma, she is naturally very happy.

At this moment, a powerful man came to report, and His Royal Highness asked to see him.

"Prince, why is he here?" Changsun Wugou said in doubt, and then said: "Let him in."

"Here." Lux led the order to leave.

After a while, Li Chengqian hurried in. Seeing that he was sweating profusely, he should have trotted all the way here.

"I met my mother."

When he looked up, he found that Yue Shan was there, and he saluted again: "I've seen you sir."

The eldest grandson Wugou said displeasedly: "You are a prince and you must have the majesty of a prince. What does this turmoil look like? If the ministers see it, they will impeach you again."

Li Chengqian took a breath and said: "I know I was wrong, please punish me young. But I really have something urgent to tell you."

"Tell me, let me see what makes you so flustered." Changsun Wugou said angrily.

This is the prince, every move is watched by countless people, any mistake will be magnified and even endanger the position of the prince. As a queen, she has to be strict with her son.

Li Chengqian raised his head and said solemnly: "Mother, there is going to be a plague of locusts in Yongzhou."

……

In the Daxing Palace, thousands of dignitaries stared at the 'food' in front of them in astonishment, and couldn't believe their eyes.

This... is food?Is it good medicine?Is the emperor making fun of us?
Li Shimin seemed to see through their thoughts, and laughed loudly: "Do you think I'm playing tricks on you? I'm not that boring yet."

After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up a locust from each of the six plates, threw it into his mouth and chewed it under the eyes of everyone who couldn't believe it.

After eating, he said: "What? I dare to eat it, but you can't?"

This... Wei Zheng and other officials who were about to stand up and fight for reason were also silent. The emperor ate it himself, which shows that this is not playing with them, but has some deep meaning.

And... this is a locust, which has always been regarded as a terrifying existence. The emperor actually ate it with his own mouth. Anyone who is not stupid can understand what it means.

Especially some officials who have heard the rumors of the locust plague are even more imaginative.

Under Li Shimin's watchful eyes, the officials present had no choice but to pick up a locust tremblingly even if they were reluctant, but they never forgot to give it to them.

Only Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji and a few other people, although they were also very disturbed in their hearts, they sent the locusts into their mouths calmly on their faces.

Seeing that Zaifu and the core officials had eaten, the other officials knew they couldn't escape, so they closed their eyes and stuffed them into their mouths.

then……

Ok?what happened?This...is a locust?Why is it so delicious?Everyone showed surprised expressions.

"Everyone, how are you? I didn't lie to you, did I? It's delicious, right." At this moment, Li Shimin's voice came again.

"Saint, what's going on here?" Wei Zheng finally couldn't help but stood up and asked.

Li Shimin was not going to whet people's appetite anymore, so he was going to reveal the answer.However, at this moment, a warrior ran over to report: "Sage, the prince and Qingshui are waiting for Yueshan to see you."

　Third watch, ask for a ticket.
