    Chapter 23: [The gentleman is far away from the kitchen]

    Taiji Palace is located outside the Zhengdian Hall.

    "Tai has met the emperor brother!" A tall, fat man who pretended to be elegant saluted Li Chengqian.

    "Fifth brother, you are here to see your mother. Do you want to go in together?" Li Chengqian responded.

    "I have already seen my mother. Once my mother is well, I can rest assured to go back and complete the poem proposed by my father."

    After saying that, the fat man left.

    After he left, Li Chengqian frowned slightly.

    He has met this fat man several times in the past few days. He is his half-brother Li Tai. Every time he sees him, he will feel uncomfortable. His eyes, which appear small because his face is too fat, always give Li Chengqian a  A provocative feeling!

    Su Mi, who was walking next to him, looked like he was hesitant to speak.

    "If you have something to say, just say it." He said to Su Mi, "You know that I have forgotten it. If you don't tell me, how will I know?"

    Su Mi got the agreement and said softly: "Sir, what I said may be a big mistake. You have heard that you should not blame me. You have to be careful about this King Wei."

    "I had a grudge against him before?"

    "No. But he wants to sit in my seat."

    Li Chengqian understood at once that he was the second oldest and wanted to take over the eldest brother¡¯s position. From now on, if Old Li burps, the Tang Dynasty will be his.

    This is the royal fight for the crown prince!

    ¡°I am now a double disabled person with both lameness and amnesia, so this younger brother feels that there is hope for him!

    "What will you do if I am no longer the prince?" Li Chengqian smiled and asked Su Mi.

    Su Mi held his hand tightly and said with a smile: "I am the prince, I am the princess, I am the prince, and I am the princess!"

    Li Chengqian smiled. Su Mi always liked to say snake oil, but these words sounded comfortable!

    The two young couples entered the Li Zheng Hall and stayed with the queen all afternoon. Concubine Yang was also there. She showed great enthusiasm for Li Chengqian's women's stories.

    None of the princesses or young women came to listen. Li Chengqian thought that they were not treated like him, who only had to study for half a day. When he saw Si'er in the evening, he asked and found out that they had all been punished by the master to copy their homework in the Hongwen Hall.

    "Why?" Li Chengqian was surprised. If only one or two people could understand, how could they be punished collectively?

    "Hee hee" Si'er was very happy about the misfortune, "Because they had been playing crazy the past few days and didn't do their homework, and they couldn't finish it all last night, so they listened to Sister Seventeen and copied it with a Zhenguan pen.  I copied it all in one night. But when I went to school today, my master scolded me for being uncivilized and ordered each person to copy it three times."

    "What is Zhenguan pen?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.

    "It's the quill that Sister Seventeen presented to my father."

    Quill pen Li Chengqian opened his mouth wide.

    Si'er continued: "But it's strange. Brother Zhinu and Sister Qiwei were asked by their father to copy the Tao Te Ching twice. No one wants to play with me!"

    Li Shu, the little tiger, was punished. It was Lao Li who punished her for taking Li Chengqian's quill pen to gain credit. So Li Zhi, the young lady, was punished in the same way. It can be imagined that he also did the same thing.  Li Chengqian's charcoal calligraphy suddenly disappeared yesterday, so he thought that the young lady was taking credit for it!

    "You deserve it!" Li Chengqian gritted his teeth.

    Si'er and Li Zhi have a very good relationship. After hearing this, she asked dissatisfiedly: "Why?"

    "Because stealing other people's things to get credit and getting something for nothing is shameless and will be punished!" Li Chengqian said with a groan.

    Si'er felt a little guilty after hearing this and didn't dare to look at Li Chengqian.

    Li Chengqian touched her round face and said with a smile: "But Brother Si'er's copycat wheelchair, I forgive you and decided to authorize it to you. From now on you will be legal!"

    Si'er didn't understand the three new terms "copycat", "authorized" and "legal", but she finally knew that Li Chengqian didn't blame her and hugged his neck happily.

    After having dinner with the Queen and Si'er who stayed at the Zhengdian Hall, the two young couples returned to the East Palace. As soon as they got off the car, Li Chengqian smelled a familiar smell!

    "Tea!" Li Chengqian was pleasantly surprised, "This is the smell of someone making tea!"

    Su Mi replied: "Yes, new tea should be brought in from outside the palace at this time."

    "You did it yourself in the palace?"

    "Um."

    Li Chengqian realized that spring was coming, so he took his wife's hand and said, "Let's go and have a look."

    "Master, wheelchair, you sit in the wheelchair!" Su MiLi Chengqian was a little excited.

    Li Chengqian then sat back in the wheelchair, pushed by Su Mi. The aroma of tea became stronger and stronger along the way, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He thought of the tea factory in the village in his previous life. The boss was his aunt. He often visited the factory and learned about how to make tea.  He still knows about tea. If there are new tea leaves, he will fry them himself, so there is no need to drink the tea residues of these ancient people in the Tang Dynasty.

    The road was a bit long. Li Chengqian was sitting in a wheelchair, and then he realized that there was no footrest designed for the wheelchair. It seemed that Master Lu would add it when he got back.

    When we arrived at a courtyard, the aroma of tea came from inside, and the door plaque of Dian Shan Kitchen hung on the courtyard door.

    When the maids at the door saw Li Chengqian and Su Mi, they quickly saluted: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

    Su Mi asked: "Is this bringing new tea?"

    A palace maid responded: "Yes, Crown Princess, it was only delivered from the Villa at noon."

    At this time, a middle-aged palace maid trotted out from the courtyard and quickly saluted Li Chengqian and the two of them: "Ma Zhangshi has met His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

    Hemp palm food, this name is very strange!  But Li Chengqian was more concerned about the tea leaves and asked: "Where are the new tea leaves?"

    Ma Zhangshi replied: "The new tea is being fried in the courtyard."

    "Take me in."

    "Ah?" Ma Zhangshi was surprised, "Your Highness, you can't enter the Dianshan Kitchen!"

    "Why?" Li Chengqian stared at Ma Zhangshi, this man is so bold, even the prince dares to take care of him!

    Su Mi quickly explained in a low voice: "Your Highness, the sage said that a gentleman stays far away from the kitchen. All literati are like this, let alone Your Highness?"

    "When a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, do you mean that men can't enter the kitchen?" Li Chengqian asked, it's so unreasonable in ancient times. The tea you women make is so delicious, but you don't let men make good tea themselves!

    "Um!"

    "When the saint said this, did you have tea to drink?" Li Chengqian said confidently.

    He had seen the information that his aunt advertised for the tea factory before, including an introduction to the origin of tea.  First of all, one thinks that tea was invented by Shennong in ancient times, but this is too mythical and cannot be believed.  The second belief is that it originated from the Zhou Dynasty, or the Qin Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms.

    During the Han Dynasty, some people used the word "tea", and in the Tang Dynasty, some people simplified the word "tea", so the origin of tea should be before the Tang Dynasty, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that tea became more popular.

    "The gentleman is far away from the kitchen," Mencius said. He was a man from the Warring States Period. At that time, tea may not be widely available, so Li Chengqian asked so confidently.

    "Huh?" Su Mi and Ma Zhangshi were stunned. Of course they didn't know if Mencius, the sage, had any tea.

    "No, right? When the saint said this, he meant that men should not go into the kitchen to cook and cook, but he did not say that men should not read or fry tea leaves!" Li Chengqian said loudly.

    "ah?"

    "Ah, what, don't block the way, Xiaogu pushed me in." Li Chengqian waved his hand.

    While Ma Zhangshi was still in a daze, Su Mi, prompted by Li Chengqian's Tathagata Palm, pushed him inside.  After a while, Ma Zhangshi woke up and had no choice but to chase after him.

    Dian Shan Kitchen is a large courtyard, which is divided into several courtyards. Su Mi pushed Li Chengqian into a courtyard called the Tea Garden, and saw a dozen palace maids and eunuchs busy inside. Many of them were making roasted tea.  broken.

    It turns out that all the tea leaves we drank were broken, and it was these guys who made it!

    "Stop!" Li Chengqian shouted.

    Everyone in the courtyard was stunned. When they turned around and saw Li Chengqian, they all ran over and knelt down to salute.

    "You won't finish frying all the new tea leaves, will you?" Li Chengqian asked anxiously.

    They couldn¡¯t react for a moment. You looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn¡¯t know how to answer the prince.  At this time, Ma Zhangshi ran in: "Your Highness, you"

    "Don't talk nonsense, I'm here. Where are the new tea leaves?"
