Chapter 942(1/2)

"Happy birthday, happy birthday! I wish you happiness and health! I wish you a happy birthday! I wish you a happy birthday! I wish you a happy birthday!"

When the song with a strange accent appeared in Li Kuan's mouth, many people were stunned.

Just now when Li Kuan lit candles, Li Shimin and others felt a little confused. Why do you need to lit candles when eating a cake for a while?

Unexpectedly, just after lighting the candle, Li Kuan came out like this again.

Fortunately, there were many smart people present. When they saw Li Kuan clapping his hands and singing, they knew what was going on.

So when Li Kuan sang this simple birthday greeting song for the second time, Cheng Jingwen and others immediately started singing along.

In the end, even Li Shimin couldn't help but clap and sing.

Li Shimin hasn't felt this warm scene for a long time.

In fact, he is a person who values ​​feelings very much and especially hopes that his children can be happy and healthy.

However, he is a qualified emperor, but not a qualified father.

The more you hope for something, the worse the result is.

Especially in the 17th year of Zhenguan, a major blow to him was one after another.

At this moment, Li Shimin couldn't help but ring the Li Chengqian family who was far away in Australia, and the Li You family who went to the Lion Kingdom.

As long as they are alive, even if they are not in the Tang Dynasty, I hope they are happy and healthy.

"Okay, little corn, make a wish!"

After singing three times, Li Kuan listened first and asked Xiao Yumi to close her eyes and make a wish.

The little girl looked happy, her eyes closed slightly, and she didn't know what wish she had made.

"Little Yumi, tell my mother, what wish you made just now?"

Cheng Jingwen couldn't help asking.

"When you went to the temple a while ago, you also made a wish. When I asked my mother, you told me that the wish you made would not work if you said it!"

Cheng Jingwen:...

"Okay, cut the cake!"

Li Kuan promptly brought everyone's attention to the big cake.

This is the first time you have seen such a big cake.

The food in the Chu King’s Mansion is famous all over the world, and everyone is looking forward to this cake that looks very special.

"Prince, I remember Panpan doesn't like eating durian. I guess there are many people who don't like eating durian like her."

Seeing Li Kuan and Xiao Yumi pick up long knives and start cutting the cake, Cheng Jingwen reminded her thoughtfully.

"It's okay, a few cream cakes will be delivered soon. Those who like to eat durian cakes will eat durian cakes, and those who don't like to eat will eat cream cakes. In addition, there will be many small carts to deliver various snacks and delicacies, and everyone can use them independently."

Obviously, Li Kuan had considered this situation a long time ago.

You should know that in later generations, durian, as a special fruit, was forbidden to be carried on planes and trains. It is conceivable that not everyone likes this fruit.

"Father, how about it? Isn't it delicious?"

The first portion of today's cake must be given to Li Shimin.

Then came Li Zhi, the current prince and Yizi, the princess of Jinyang.

However, after Yizi got the cake, she quickly tasted it, and then stopped to stare at Li Shimin, wanting to see if he was a "durian party" like him.

"The taste is sweet and the taste is delicate. This durian cake will definitely be popular in Chang'an City in the future."

After Li Shimin took a bite of the cake, he showed an expression of enjoyment.

Obviously, he at least doesn't hate durian.

If someone doesn't like durian, he probably won't even want to try it.

It's like stinky tofu, many people probably haven't eaten it once in their lifetime, right?

Especially for a while, some people spread rumors online that stinky tofu was pickled in a pit, and many people actually believed it!

However, after Li Kuan tried the authentic Changsha stinky tofu, he had a deep understanding of the saying "It smells smelly and tastes delicious."

"Father, it's probably a big deal to be popular in Chang'an!"

"Why?"

"Because durian is only produced in Nanyang. It is a long way to transport this thing from Nanyang to Chang'an City and consumes a lot of money. Unless the income from transporting durian can be comparable to that of transporting spices, would there be a few merchants willing to let their ships sell durian back?"

After Yizi said this, Li Shimin understood it in an instant.

Just like lychees, although many people have heard of its deliciousness, there are not many people in Chang'an City who have really tasted lychees.

Because lychees are particularly difficult to store, even if you use ice cubes to cool them, you don’t care that the taste will become worse after a few days. Transporting them from Lingnan is also expensive, and I don’t know how many horses you will have to run away along the way.

"Aye, this cake is so delicious! But, apart from this cake, have you not prepared a gift for me?"

Xiao Yumi had already collected all the gifts from others, but she had not waited until Li Kuan gave him a gift and couldn't help but ask.

In his opinion, it is impossible for him to just prepare a big cake for himself, right?

Although I am very satisfied with this cake, I will eat it and it will be gone!

"Yes, Kuan'er, you made Xiao Yumi's birthday scene so important. Didn't you even prepare a gift?"

Li Shimin also asked curiously from the side.

"Little corn, if Aye forgets it, just turn around and ask him to help you make up for it."

Cheng Jingwen was afraid that Li Kuan had really not prepared any other gifts, so she quickly pulled Xiao Yumi to her side and persuaded her softly.

However, this persuasion did not work. Xiao Mei's tears were like a faucet, and it immediately rolled in her eyes.

For the little girl, sometimes if you don’t persuade her, the matter may just pass.

But if you care, her tears will fall out.

It was like someone fell down. She might have been about to get up, but she felt wronged and passed in a few seconds.

As a result, you go over and ask, "Did you hurt?", and people may immediately start crying with tears.

"Prince, the Lord of Yongping is about to cry. Have you taken out your pocket watch?"

Qing'er, who has been following Li Kuan these days, couldn't see it anymore and stood aside and revealed directly the inside story of Li Kuan's already prepared gifts.

"Dangdangdangdang!"

Li Kuan took out an exquisite small box from his arms and gave a dubbing voice in his mouth.

"Aye, what is this?"

Xiao Yumi's face immediately turned cloudy, and her smile was not concealed at all, and she was extremely brilliant.

"You open it and you'll know!"

Before Li Kuan could finish his words, Xiao Yumi opened the box.

"Aye, what is this?"

Although the box was opened, Xiao Yumi did not recognize what was inside, so she asked again; while the slender little hands involuntarily took out the things inside the box.

I saw a silver-white round small box-like thing appearing in front of everyone.

A string of snow-white pearls means that this small box seems to be able to hang around your neck.

There seemed to be six sparkling gems inlaid on the small box.

"Kuan'er, is this the gift you carefully prepared for the little corn? It seems to be a pearl necklace, and the design of this pendant is too strange, it is embedded there like a big silver coin."

Li Shimin's words express everyone's inner thoughts.

This gift has really brought a very limited impact to everyone and is not outstanding at all.

Even Cheng Jingwen felt a little surprised for such an ordinary gift.

However, she was still very conscious of the generality, with a smile on her face that met the expectations of the society, saying: "Little corn, these six gems were purchased by Donghai Fisheries from the Dashi merchants in Nanyang at high prices. It is very difficult to make them into almost the same size and inlaid on this silver piece."

There is no way, this gift must be of extraordinary value in the eyes of ordinary people.

But on this occasion, the gems inlaid on them can be mentioned and talked about.

After all, the gems of this day are still very precious, and ordinary people may never see them in their lifetime.

"This gem is really good, colorful, very rare!"

"This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful gem, which matches the ones of the Yongping County Lord."

"The pearl necklace and gem pendant are paired with a design of the King of Chu, and this design of His Royal Highness is unique."

"This year, this style of necklace will definitely become the best necklace sold in Gu Dafu's gold and silver jewelry shop."

Although many people are a little disappointed with this gift, they are talking about praise.

Even Li Shimin said insincerely: "This pearl seems to be produced in Goguryeo. Each pearl is almost the same in size and color. It is a rare good product. It is a bit difficult to find such a string of pearls in my treasury."

"Hey, Aye, can this be opened?"
To be continued...
