Chapter 20: A rare delicacy in the world!
Very soon, Li Chengqian entered the Taiji Palace. “Father, I have met you!”
Li Shimin put away the report, “Rise!”
“Thank you, Father!” Li Chengqian said, “The weather is cold, Father. You should take care of yourself. Here is the hot soup I prepared for you!”
“Accept it!”
Upon hearing Li Shimin’s words, Li Chengqian opened the food box, took the hot soup, and placed it in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked at the prepared soup. It was decent. However, he had tasted similar ones before. The crucial point was the gesture. It was thoughtful to send it in such cold weather.
Li Chengqian was about to step back when Li Shimin said, “Come closer to me!”
Li Chengqian knelt beside Li Shimin. Li Shimin realized it had been a while since he saw Li Chengqian and should show some concern.
Li Shimin praised it highly, “This is truly a rare delicacy in the world!”
Li Chengqian, eager to try, expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Father!”
Li Chengqian, savoring the ribs, was overwhelmed by the unprecedented deliciousness.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Father, what kind of meat is this?”
Having enjoyed the food without considering the type of meat, Li Shimin was momentarily stumped.
Realizing he didn’t know, Li Shimin turned to Li Chengqian, “Did you figure out what meat it is after eating?”
Li Chengqian, feeling awkward, admitted, “I’m not sure, Father.”
Li Chengqian hesitated, wanting to ask Li Shimin, but noticed Zhang Anan shaking her head subtly.
Refraining from putting Li Shimin on the spot, Li Chengqian held back his question, not wanting to make things uncomfortable for his father.
