"Have you seen this piece of cloth? I'm going to wrap it around your neck and pull both ends hard..."
Chen Jingke's tone and expression were exaggerated, and he wrapped a cloth belt around Princess Jinyang's neck. The little girl's eyes flickered as if she was afraid, but she still sat still out of trust.
Changsun Wujia sat aside, cracking pine nuts and watching his performance.
He deliberately put the two ends of the strap in front of them and showed it, then softly shouted "Hey..." and pulled hard with both hands.
"Ah!!!" The little girl finally couldn't help shouting.
But he stopped immediately, staring at the tape in front of him in shock, as if he couldn't figure out why this happened.
Changsun Wugou also had a look of surprise on his face. Although he had known for a long time that this was a trick, he was still very curious after seeing such a wonderful performance.
"Brother, brother, you are amazing." Li Mingda looked at him with admiration with his big black and white eyes.
Chen Jingke was so proud that he finally used the little trick he learned online in his previous life.
He learned these things just because he wanted to interact with girls, but unfortunately he never had the chance to use them. He didn't expect to use them after time travel, so he didn't learn them in vain.
"Xiao Sizi, do you want to learn?"
The little girl suddenly became excited and said loudly: "I want to."
"Okay, let me tell you how to do it." Chen Jingke used his arms as performance props to teach her how to do it.
Little Sizi's IQ was absolutely fine. He learned it in no time and was so excited that he wanted to perform.
Chen Jingke naturally became a ready-made prop.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, and Xiao Sizi stood behind him and started playing with it.
Children are children after all, and their hands and feet are not so flexible, and sometimes they can easily get confused.
Anyway, it took me a long time to put the straps in place, and then I excitedly expressed that I was going to start.
Changsun Wugu, who was watching the whole process, had his lips raised, waiting to see the show.
Chen Jingke was still unaware and encouraged: "Xiao Sizi is the best, let's get started."
The little girl was even happier after receiving the encouragement. She pulled both ends of the strap hard with her two little hands, and then... the strap wrapped around her neck as expected.
"Ah!" Chen Jingke screamed, his eyes widened and he fell to the ground with his tongue hanging out.
Changsun Wujia finally burst into laughter regardless of her appearance. She understood what was going on when she was teaching just now. She even knew that her little girl had made the wrong mistake. This was the moment she had been waiting for.
The little girl was startled at first, but she immediately realized that Chen Jingke was joking with her, and burst out laughing.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Chen Jingke also got up from the ground.
Seeing the happy little girl, he was also very happy. If he doesn't love his little daughter-in-law, how can he let others love her?
Next, he used himself as a prop and taught her step by step.
After successfully performing it once, the little girl became even happier, with a sense of accomplishment on her face.
Chen Jingke rolled his eyes and tempted her to find Changsun Wugou as a prop.
The little girl was very obedient to her elder brother's words, and immediately ran over and pulled her mother to perform a trick.
Changsun Wugou rolled his eyes at him angrily, but he still cooperated by squatting down to make the props, and even deliberately made a horrified sound when pulling the straps.
In fact, she also enjoys this kind of family happiness. Gu Fa
Children are like this. They always like to show off whatever new things they have learned, and little Sizi was no exception. He called everyone in the room to come over and perform once.
Waiters such as Sun Fucai are naturally willing to cooperate. This is also a rare opportunity for performance. Interaction can enhance the sense of presence.
The little girl enjoyed playing it again and again until Li Shimin came back. She immediately changed her target and pulled him to do tricks.
Li Shimin doted on him unconditionally, doing whatever he was asked to do, not to mention cooperating too much.
After she had had enough fun, Changsun Wujia asked the wet nurse to take her to play in the garden. Sun Fucai and other waiters also left voluntarily and prohibited everyone from coming near the place.
After everyone left, Li Shimin put away his smile and said: "Tell me, what else have been discussed today."
Chen Jingke took out a book that was not thick, handed it to him and said: "This is the new Alchemy Classic that has just been determined, and it is also the basis of the new medical theory. If Your Majesty allows us, we will prepare it for publication throughout the world today."
Such a big thing as the Taoist reform could not be carried out beyond the imperial court. Chen Jingke would go to the palace every three or five days to tell him the progress and then bring his opinions back.
Li Shimin looked at the book in front of him with a complicated expression. Even if he didn't read it, he knew that all the parts about the Immortality Pill had been removed from it.
How could he be happy when his dream of immortality was shattered?
Thinking of this, he said unwillingly: "Is there really no immortality pill in the world?"
Changsun Wugou smiled bitterly. How could she not know her husband's shortcomings in this regard? But persuasion alone was useless for this kind of thing. He had to hit his head and bleed.
Now Zixiaoguan wants to destroy the theory of the Immortality Pill, and she supports it. It is better to kill all his hopes than to actually break his head.
Chen Jingke said categorically without leaving any room for error: "No, gold and stone are highly toxic when used as medicine, especially lead and mercury, which are the number one killers that lead to the death of heirs."
"There are only medicines for curing diseases and maintaining health, but there are no elixirs for longevity. All such alchemists are liars."
Li Shimin remained silent, although it was really difficult for him to give up his dream of immortality.
Chen Jingke continued: "You know my master's medical skills. If there is an elixir of longevity, why wouldn't he not study it?"
"There is also my family's medical skills. Although you haven't really seen it, you can get a glimpse of it through the medicines and new medical theories I brought."
Li Shimin nodded slightly. He knew very well where the new medical theory came from, and he also knew how amazing Chen Jingke's medicine was.
It was those medicines that saved Changsun Wujia's life. He himself also took those special medicines.
Last time, he got dysentery because he was greedy for ice-flavored food. He took the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor but still didn't get better. When he had no other choice, he went to see Chen Jingke, and he just took a few pills and was cured.
You must know that in ancient times, dysentery was a disease with a high fatality rate. It was also contagious and was always regarded as a plague. In the end, it was cured with just a few pills.
This kind of medical skill can be called a miracle doctor in this era. Even the people who make these medicines think that the elixir of longevity does not exist, so there is a high probability that it does not exist.
Although he was very reluctant, he still had to say: "Okay, let's expel the alchemist and the longevity pill from the Taoist sect."
Chen Jingke was not satisfied with this and advised: "It is best for the imperial court to come forward and ban such behavior, so as to avoid endless disasters."
Li Shimin's eyes flickered a few times and he said: "It's not good. The imperial court's order cannot prohibit such things. Instead, it will force those people to invisible places, which will cause even greater disasters."
"It's better to just let them refine it, so that the court can monitor it. In addition to human life, the court can find out in time."
How could Chen Jingke not know what he was thinking, he just wanted to keep some thoughts in mind.
Just as he was about to continue persuading, he was interrupted by Changsun Wugou: "What the saint said is mature and prudent. Putting the matter in the light will make it easier to solve."
After speaking, he winked at him.
Chen Jingke understood immediately, but he just didn't want to push Li Shimin too much, so he could only say helplessly: "What your Majesty said is true, but I didn't think carefully."
