"I wonder what your Highness wants to ask?"

Li Chengqian looked around and approached Eunuch Liu and asked in a low voice: "Who did the rumors about the mother in the palace spread?"

Liu Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I am not inconvenient to say more about this matter. I advise Your Highness not to ask too much, let alone care about it."

"What do I mean not to ask too much or not to care about it? Someone has hit my mother with a bad mind. Can I ignore it?"

"I know that Your Highness is concerned about the Empress, but the saint and Empress will handle the matters in the harem. Even though Your Highness is the prince, it is not convenient to interfere!"

"What do you mean is that the queen mother knows this?"

Liu Zhong smiled slightly, "Does Your Highness underestimate the Empress too much? No big harem has never made the saint worry about anything. Whose credit is his Highness?"

"Then why can't the rumors be kept circulating? It's fine if the mother is inconvenient to deal with it, why doesn't the father ignore it?"

"Your Highness, the matters in the harem are sometimes more complicated than government affairs, and they are also very simple. The saint is not indifferent to the attention, but the empress is kind and asks the saint not to pursue it."

Li Chengqian was silent. Although he knew that the harem had always been complicated, he really couldn't understand the channels. However, he believed in his heart that Empress Changsun asked His Majesty Li Er not to pursue the matter, or even to stop the rumors. Even if he pretended to be calm on the surface, he would feel very wronged.

He was really a little nervous by the palace dramas in later generations. He never thought that the reason why Empress Changsun did not pursue this matter was probably just disdain to pursue it...

"No, the old man doesn't care, but I can't ignore it! Uncle Liu, tell me who spread this rumor?"

Seeing Li Chengqian's firm look, Liu Zhong shook his head helplessly and said, "Your Highness, it's not that I won't tell you that the saint has issued an order, so I won't let me tell you."

"Hmph, coward! My wife was wronged and she didn't even pursue her!" Li Chengqian cursed directly.

"It's not that I'm cowardly, but that I can't even pursue this matter!"

His Majesty Li Er came out of the palace gate at this time and said with a low expression on his face.

"It is inconvenient to pursue it? The harem is all your concubines. If you can't pursue it, who can investigate it? Who can be older than you... Hum?" As he said that, Li Chengqian remembered that he came alone. If it was really that person, His Majesty Li Er really couldn't pursue it!

As Li Chengqian thought before, this rumor would not have much impact on Empress Changsun, nor would it shake her position in His Majesty Li Er's mind. What purpose was the person who spread the rumor?

He had never understood it before, but if it was really that person, Li Chengqian had thought of a reasonable explanation!

Only that person can make it difficult for His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun to pursue it.

"Is it your father?" Li Chengqian asked casually, and then...

"Ouch!"

"Bastard! That's your grandfather!" His Majesty Li Er kicked Li Chengqian with anger.

"It's really him? How idle is he now? Just to make you play tricks on you and embarrass you, can you do such things?" Li Chengqian asked in surprise while rubbing his butt.

"Your Highness, not the Supreme Emperor..."

"Who else can there be?"

Liu Zhong looked at His Majesty Li Er in embarrassment, and the latter answered directly: "It's a concubine of your grandfather!"

Li Chengqian: “…”

Well, although it is not what Li Chengqian thought, it is similar. Li Yuan’s concubine, His Majesty Li Er and his wife are also difficult to pursue. After all, if you look into it in depth, it is just a harmless joke.

...

Li Chengqian returned without success... It cannot be said that he had gained nothing, at least he remembered that there was a Li Yuan in the palace, his cheap grandfather.

To be honest, with His Majesty Li Er here, the presence of this Supreme Emperor is too low. If it is not mentioned, basically no one will remember it.

On the way back to the East Palace, Li Chengqian was still wondering if he had time to see this poor old man? After all, he was also a founding king. If he traveled around for a while, he wouldn't go and see what he looked like. I'm really sorry for his identity... and he is still his grandfather!

...

In the following days, Li Chengqian would go to Lizheng Hall to accompany Empress Changsun every day. There was nothing else, but Empress Changsun's due date was only these few days... Of course, the due date was Li Chengqian's own name, and others would not say that.

"Gao Ming, the winter solstice is coming soon. Let Sui'an teach you what you need to prepare later."

"Winter Solstice?" Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment and said indifferently, "The winter solstice is just eating some dumplings, what can I prepare? Also, who is Sui'an?"

Queen Changsun was also stunned, then her expression dimmed, but she recovered in an instant and said, "Sui'an is your wet nurse. Go back and ask Xia He, she knows where to find Sui'an."

Li Chengqian also looked at Empress Changsun awkwardly and immediately changed the topic, "Mom, isn't the family just finished eating dumplings? By the way, do you know the dumplings? It's just..."

Li Chengqian talked about the way to make dumplings. Empress Changsun was full of confusion at first, and after hearing this, she asked, "Are you talking about the crescent-shaped wontons?"

"Ah? The crescent-shaped wontons? The green dragon crescent-shaped knife is the dumplings, not the wontons!" Li Chengqian didn't know at all that although the food of dumplings was invented as early as the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was actually called "dumplings" after the Ming Dynasty.

The dumplings at this time are called "Canyue-shaped wontons", and they are not as big as those in later generations, but are large ones, and each person eats them after cooking them.

Queen Changsun shook her head slightly and smiled, "Haha, my mother has never eaten the dumplings you mentioned, but she has eaten something similar, such as the moon-shaped wontons."

"Then I will make dumplings for you later... Don't say it, it's okay if you don't mention it. When I mention the dumplings, I feel a little drooling. It's very delicious!" After that, I was about to get up to prepare the dumplings, but I was pulled by Queen Changsun.

"You, it's still early to eat now. My mother will tell you about the winter solstice. The winter solstice is one of the most important days in our Tang Dynasty. At that time, not only will you go outside the city to worship your ancestors, but you will also have to offer your longevity as the prince... There are many things to do, and when you go back, your wet nurse will teach you well."

"So troublesome?" In Li Chengqian's image, the Winter Solstice solar term is to eat some dumplings, and there is nothing else to pay attention to.
