Li Shimin didn't know how to respond to Zhao Chen's words for a moment.
Zhao Chen made an agreement with him from the beginning not to leak any information about him.
But when Duan Lun came over, firstly, something was wrong at the time, and Duan Lun was a stubborn donkey. If he didn't agree to it, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet probably wouldn't even be held.
Secondly, of course Li Shimin wanted Zhao Chen to have a good relationship with the courtiers first.
If all these ministers knew about Zhao Chen and his abilities.
In the future, when Zhao Chen returns to the court and takes charge of the East Palace, it will be a lot easier for him!
But Li Shimin couldn't explain this matter clearly to Zhao Chen!
At that moment, Li Shimin opened his mouth several times, but nothing came out.
"Forget it, for the sake of my aunt, I won't argue with you this time. Next time, don't even think about stepping into this tavern!" Zhao Chen waved his hand and said.
"Hey, okay!" Li Shimin answered smoothly.
But he reacted instantly, when did he become so humble?
"Zhao Chen, my aunt heard that a young man appeared in Chang'an Market yesterday, guessed ten lantern riddles correctly in one fell swoop, and took away the lantern that had been hanging for eight years!"
"Is this young man you?" Queen Changsun said softly.
"Hehe, my aunt is really smart. Don't worry about Lao Litou, her brain is frightened!"
"Yesterday, two friends insisted on taking me out for a walk. I had nothing to do, so they went to guess lantern riddles."
"That lantern riddle is pretty simple, just guess it and you'll get it right!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
He found that he always liked to share his joy with his aunt in front of him.
Just like the feeling a child feels when he gets good grades in school and goes home to share it with his family!
"Zhao Chen, you are really talented. For eight years, no one has guessed ten lantern riddles. You actually said that the lantern riddles were easy."
"I wonder how the talented people in Chang'an City will feel when they hear your words!" Queen Changsun said to Zhao Chen with a smile.
I am extremely satisfied in my heart.
Young people always have to be somewhat competitive.
When Empress Changsun heard Li Shimin say this today, she was also shocked.
A lantern riddle that no one has guessed for eight years is certainly not a simple thing.
But Zhao Chen was able to guess everything. This ability may not be matched by many ministers in the court.
Empress Changsun looked at Zhao Chen with a smile, and the more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became.
Zhao Chen couldn't help but feel something in his heart when he saw Empress Changsun looking at her like a son.
She thought that Queen Changsun was going to betroth that little girl Azhi to herself!
That little girl is very good-looking, but she is a bit too small and not my type.
But take it over and adjust it carefully...
Li Shimin was thinking about trolling Zhao Chen. He learned a lot of trolling skills from Wei Zheng.
Then he saw a strange look on Zhao Chen's face.
"Madam, don't be deceived by this kid. From my perspective, he was just a blind cat who met a dead mouse last night, and he just got a big advantage!" Li Shimin said quietly from the side.
Obviously, he just couldn't stand Zhao Chen's proud expression in front of him!
"A blind cat meets a dead mouse?" Zhao Chen looked at Li Shimin jokingly and said with a smile: "Old Li Tou, how about I come up with a lantern riddle for you to guess?"
"Of course, considering your lack of IQ, I can ask you to find helpers."
"As long as you can guess the answer, you can ask anyone!"
"How?" Zhao Chen looked at Li Shimin with a mocking smile on his lips.
"You guys are so contemptuous of others. If I can't guess, I will stand on my head and have diarrhea!" Li Shimin said angrily immediately.
This kid is going too far. He actually looks down on my IQ!
I want to see what kind of difficult lantern riddle you, little brat, can come up with?
lantern riddles?
The people in my court are all great scholars of the time. It’s just a lantern riddle. If anyone can’t guess it, I’ll cut off their heads one by one!
Li Shimin thought to himself.
But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
A feeling of anger in my stomach.
"Your taste is quite strong, but it's not a big problem. I'll write it to you right now. When you get back, you can take it apart and take a look!" Zhao Chen looked at Li Shimin with a smile and turned around to go to the counter.
"Your Majesty, why are you angry with Zhao Chen? He just blames you for inviting Duan Lun. All he needs to do is say a few words!" Empress Changsun said softly.
"Zhiqi?" I'm going to deal with this kid severely this time!" Li Shimin lowered his voice and gritted his teeth.
Li Shimin thought that he, an emperor, was said to be mentally retarded.
He will repay this humiliation properly in two days!
He also slapped Zhao Chen hard on the face!
"Here, the lantern riddles are written." Zhao Chen walked over with a smile, like an old fox.
"Zhao Chen, do you know that at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last night, the poem you wrote overwhelmed everyone, even Wang Ji of Taiyuan was defeated!" Empress Changsun laughed when she saw the emperor taking the lantern riddle with an unhappy look on his face.
He said to Zhao Chen.
"I really don't know this. I just wrote that poem casually and didn't take it to heart."
"I didn't expect it to be able to crush everyone. Datang's education level still needs to be improved."
"By the way, Old Li Tou, since that poem overwhelmed everyone, the saint must have rewarded you with a lot of things. Why did you come here empty-handed again today?"
"How come you know so much about human nature?"
"How can you do business here?"
"you……"
"I'm leaving, madam. I'll have someone come pick you up later!"
Zhao Chen's scoldings one after another made Lao Li's head and lungs explode!
At that moment, he roared angrily, turned around angrily and ran outside the tavern.
"That aunt, I just wanted to joke with Old Li Tou, I didn't want to make him angry like this!" Seeing Old Li Tou leave the tavern angrily, Zhao Chen looked slightly embarrassed.
If his aunt was not here, he would definitely have to say a few words later.
It’s just that right now, it’s always inappropriate!
"You, your talkativeness can be compared to that of the admonishment officials of the day." Empress Changsun rolled her eyes at Zhao Chen and said with a smile.
"Hehe, I heard that Dr. Wei often beats the saint to the point where he can't eat all day long. If there is a chance, I really want to compete with him!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Empress Changsun looked at Zhao Chen with a smile, secretly saying that it was really difficult for His Majesty the Emperor.
Originally there was only Wei Zheng, but now, there is another Zhao Chen!
No wonder he was so angry just now and walked away!
"My husband still misses you very much, otherwise he wouldn't come here often. You must get closer to him in the future."
"And don't talk nonsense in the future!" Queen Changsun explained.
"I understand, auntie, isn't it because seeing Lao Litou being angry makes me happy?" Zhao Chen nodded.
Queen Changsun didn't know how to respond to Zhao Chen's words for a moment.
When he was in the palace, His Majesty the Emperor also said that when he saw Zhao Chen, he said nothing to him, and he always felt that something was missing in his heart!
It's a shame that he can't always defeat Zhao Chen!
These two guys are indeed not a family, and they don't belong to the same family.
