Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 169 Silver Needle

Zhao Ke listened to the whole conversation between Li Xin and Li Shimin, and felt very inconceivable about the relationship between the two of them as close as father and son and as friends. However, with her psychological quality, she would not show it at all on the surface, and would only digest these things silently in her heart. This is the quality that a good deputy must possess.

After all, it was Li Shimin who was calling for the food. After Zhao Ke personally went to the kitchen to order, someone soon brought up the most distinctive dishes on the first floor.

Li Shimin looked at the fragrant dishes in front of him, poked them with his chopsticks a few times, and asked, "What kind of meat is this? Pork? Why is it this color? It's not dark."

Since there is no relationship between soy sauce, chili, and tomato, most of the dishes in Datang are mainly white and yellow. Suddenly seeing so many red, black, red and black dishes served by Li Xin, Li Shimin is still a little puzzled, and always feels that it is wrong. It looks so delicious.

"I used a little secret seasoning." Li Xin said with a smile, "Your Majesty might as well try it."

Li Shimin frowned, and immediately rolled his eyes at Li Xin and said, "It's rare for me to come out, you don't get more beef and mutton, but you get such cheap meat, it's really a sting."

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "That's right. Hurry up and remove the marinated stuff and bring up some mutton. The chicken soup you made for me last time is also good, so I'll bring a copy too."

How can the demeanor of the two of them still have the demeanor of an emperor and empress? They're just two picky and picky visitors.

Li Xin was both funny and helpless. Of course, he would not feel disgusted with the two elders because of such a trivial matter. In fact, the more they were like this, the more they proved their closeness to Li Xin.

But having said that, their demands are absolutely unsatisfactory.

Li Xin raised a hand and said: "I am willing to swear that if your Majesty refuses today's dish, then you will definitely regret it in the future!"

"Oh?" Li Shimin obviously didn't believe it, but Li Xin's solemn attitude made him have to take it seriously. The previous horseshoe is a good example. If Li Xin brought out many seemingly unreasonable things, Li Shimin would have to weigh them carefully.

Empress Changsun was also a little puzzled: "Isn't it just pork? It's stinky and stinky, how can it be delicious? What secret seasoning is so powerful?"

Li Xin smiled mysteriously and said, "Why don't your majesty and empress have a taste first, and then I'll explain it to you slowly?"

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at each other, smiled tacitly, and picked up chopsticks one after another.

"Maid Guanyin wait a moment, wait for me to taste it first. If the meat is not tasty, you will save yourself from suffering, and I will just kick this brat and settle the matter." Li Shimin said while glaring at Li Xin. .

Empress Changsun giggled and nodded, not rejecting His Majesty Li Er's kindness.

Li Xin had no choice but to roll his eyes without leaving a trace: I know you two are in love, but can you just eat vegetables? Don't keep holding back your energy and throwing dog food, it makes people look greedy

Seeing that Li Shimin took a piece of pork and put it in his mouth, the two master servants who had been standing silently by the side suddenly stopped him.

"Your Majesty, it's better to let the slaves first." The servant took out a silver needle, showing a bit of solicitation.

According to the rules, any food that is going to enter the mouth of His Majesty Li Er must be tested for poison. When in the palace, there are eunuchs responsible for testing food and medicine, but when outside, if it is not suitable for others to test the poison first, then they should test it with a silver needle.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "This is Xin'er's place, and I'm traveling in secret. No one knows that I'm here. How could someone harm me? Don't worry, don't try."

Before Empress Changsun could speak, Li Xin snatched the piece of meat that Li Shimin had picked up to her, quickly put it into her mouth and began to chew it.

"What are you doing?" Li Shimin glanced at Li Xin unexpectedly.

While chewing, Li Xin said with a smile: "The two servants are also loyal to their duties, don't make them worry. Anyway, I was originally here to eat with Your Majesty and Your Majesty, so it doesn't hurt if I take a bite of these things first."

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun immediately gave Li Xin a reproachful look, but shook their heads helplessly, and said nothing more. The two master servants were even more touched, and immediately knelt down to salute, and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your understanding."

Li Xin swallowed the food, waved his hands nonchalantly, and said, "Don't use these silver needles anymore, they are useless. Foods that can turn silver needles black are not necessarily poisonous, and they can't make silver needles black." Blackened food is not necessarily non-toxic. Do you know?"

When the two servants heard this, they looked at Li Xin in surprise, and asked, "How is that possible?" They have always used silver needles as an important means of drug testing. Now, this method is suddenly and completely denied, and it is normal for them to find it difficult to accept it for a while.

Li Xin said casually: "Of course it is true. If you don't believe me, go back and try some eggs. Just boil any eggs in water. If you insert a silver needle into it, the roots will definitely turn black. It is impossible for every egg to be filled with eggs." Poison it?"
