The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Standing at the door of the side hall, I was free to see how many leaves of mugwort were stuck on the door.

One, two, two, three, four.

Yes, there are so many leaves.

Before I could count the mugwort stuck on the door, the eunuch came out of the hall.

"Your Highness, please follow me into the hall." The eunuch said with his head down.

Li Fu said yes, and then followed the little eunuch into the side hall, and the servants of the Jingyang King's house who followed him also followed their husband into the side hall.

"Uncle, I wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival." Li Fu walked while bowing and saying auspicious words.

Li Yuan smiled with wrinkles all over his face.

"Well, have a good Dragon Boat Festival." Li Yuan smiled and looked at the person behind Li Fu: "What did you bring here?"

"These are some small gifts for you on Dragon Boat Festival. They are not valuable, but they are also a token of my nephew's love." Li Fu said: "Dumplings with candied dates and some other food. You have to eat dumplings on Dragon Boat Festival."

"In addition, my nephew specially made a set of clothes for you, and presented it to you." Li Fu said.

"Oh? Take it out and let me see it." Li Yuan smiled. He was curious about what clothes his eldest nephew could make for him.

"It's just an ordinary piece of clothing." Li Fu said: "I heard that it is a custom to offer summer clothes on Dragon Boat Festival. However, my nephew has never celebrated Dragon Boat Festival seriously before. This year, I started preparing very early. This is the first time."

It is not so troublesome for ordinary people to celebrate Dragon Boat Festival. Now that their status is different, the things they should pay attention to are also different.

Especially the mutual gifting of clothes between court officials. If Li Shimin had not sent someone to tell Li Fu in advance, how many people would have secretly laughed at him, a half-way prince, for not knowing etiquette after this incident?

Li Fu took out the summer clothes customized for Li Yuan from a box held by a servant behind him.

"This is the thinnest silk. The clothes I made for you have three layers in total, inner clothes, outer clothes, and gauze clothes. The weather will get hotter and hotter in the future. You have to pay more attention to your health. It is difficult to get rid of the heat in summer. You have to be more careful." Li Fu reminded: "In the future, I will select two medical officers from the Imperial Hospital to stay in Da'an Palace and keep an eye on your health.

When summer comes, many people are greedy and want to eat cold food, and they eat badly. You can't do this."

"This time I bring you pear paste made in the kitchen of my house. It can promote body fluid and quench thirst, clear away heat and resolve phlegm, and relieve heat and increase appetite." Li Fu said: "Always let the palace maids brew it for you to drink."

"Melons and cold melons can also relieve heat, but they are too cold after all, so you can't eat too much."

Li Fu kept nagging, but it made Li Yuan feel warm in his heart.

Even if the queen often came to send gifts and greet, she didn't talk like Li Fu.

To others, there were indeed too many words.

But for an old man like Li Yuan, this was a rare concern.

He had become the emperor, and there was really no one in the palace who dared to talk to him like Li Fu.

Only Li Fu did not treat this old man as the emperor, but just as an ordinary, old uncle of his own family.

"Okay, I remember everything you said." Li Yuan said: "When people get older, they really need to pay more attention. I have also felt that it is really different from when I was young. Whenever I eat more, I will have some food accumulation."

"You have finished the canned hawthorns I sent you last time, and my nephew asked Liu Niang to prepare some for you." Li Fu said: "I brought this to you, but this time I didn't put so much icing sugar, it's a bit sour."

"Eat less sweets, it's good for your health."

Li Fu was also afraid that Li Yuan, at this age, would get diabetes if he ate sweet things every day.

That is, diabetes.

The body's metabolism function is not as good as before when you are old. If you don't control your consumption of canned pear paste, melons and various fruits, it will be really out of control.

"A few days ago, my nephew got a lot of grain on the farm. I plan to make wine in the future. When the wine on the farm is brewed, I will send some to you to taste. You have read countless fine wines, so let me taste it."

"Oh? You are going to make wine on your farm?"

When it comes to wine, Li Yuan becomes interested.

"They are all old grains. They are just sitting there. It's better to toss them." Li Fu smiled and said, "I wonder how much you can drink, uncle?"

"Hey, you asked this question. If you asked something else, I would have said it all. If you asked about the alcohol tolerance, I will tell you this..."

Li Yuan waved his hand and began to tell about his glorious achievements in the past.

When he was young, he drank so much that he was drunk. Even if he is old, his vigor is still as strong as before.

Even if everyone got drunk at the banquet, they could stillThe attendant summoned the two concubines.

Very powerful.

"Your uncle's drinking capacity is as good as his archery."

Li Yuan said with a flushed face and full of confidence.

"That's great. When the nephew's fine wine is brewed, I will send it to you immediately." Li Fu smiled.

No matter how much the emperor drank, most of it was rice wine, which was not very strong. Even if there was grain wine, the degree was the same.

The emperor had said so much, Li Fu thought in his heart that he would have to use the distillation technology...

When the time came...

The emperor was still happily immersed in his "heroic spirit", not knowing that Li Fu was holding back something bad in his heart.

"Okay, okay, then I'll wait to taste the new wine brewed on your farm. What you can bring out must be good, but don't let me down." Li Yuan said happily.

"Okay, I promise not to disappoint you." Li Fu also responded cheerfully.

"Erlang is giving a banquet in the palace, you are going to go too, right?" Li Yuan asked.

"Yes, I have to go there soon, and I brought some gifts for my second brother."

"Oh, if that's the case, you can't stay in Da'an Palace at noon."

Li Yuan felt a little sorry. He also wanted to keep Li Fu in Da'an Palace for lunch, but Li Fu was too busy to go there, so he decided to go to Taiji Palace first.

After all, Da'an Palace was full of old men, and he was not comfortable leaving a young man here.

"It doesn't matter, uncle, if you want to treat me to a meal, then tomorrow at noon, I will come to your place for lunch." Li Fu said with a smile.

"You." Li Yuan smiled: "The cook in your house is better than the cooks in the Imperial Food Bureau."

"Didn't you ask Liu Niang to train two cooks and send them to the Imperial Food Bureau? Don't tease me now. I am a prince, and no one in my family dares to compare with the people in the palace. I am very terrified."

"No need to say these polite words, good is good, what's the big deal." Li Yuan waved his hand indifferently.
