"Your Highness, you are drunk, why not go to the guest room to rest!" Li Xiu looked at Li Shimin, who was drunk in front of him and advised him. Now Li Shimin has begun to speak without saying anything and dares to say anything. Li Xiusheng is afraid that he will say anything he is dissatisfied with Li Yuan, and it will be difficult to end by then.

"I'm not drunk!" Li Shimin said something drunk people like to say, then took another sip of wine and shouted, "This time I tried my best to destroy Tuyuhun. I thought my father would pay more attention to me, but in fact I also received news. My father actually increased the number of memorials reviews, which made me very happy. I thought my father had taken back some of the power from my elder brother's hands and began to lean towards me in my heart, so I kept rushing day and night, and ran into the palace happily in the early morning of this morning, but..."

When he said this, Li Shimin pointed at Li Xiu with a sad and angry look on his face and said, "But what I didn't expect was that the father's review of the memorial was just because his third sister gave him a pair of reading glasses, which relieved his eye disease. Don't tell me that you don't know about reading glasses!"

"Uh?" Li Xiu was confused when he heard this. He didn't expect that he had made a pair of reading glasses for Li Yuan, which had such a great impact on Li Shimin. He could even imagine that when Li Shimin knew that Li Yuan had taken back some of the power from Li Jiancheng, he would probably jump up happily. Unfortunately, he was so happy in the end. That huge gap was not something that ordinary people could bear. Even with Li Shimin's heart, he would come to him to drink in the end.

Seeing Li Xiu not speaking, the drunk Li Shimin also smiled helplessly. In fact, he knew that Li Xiu could not blame him for this matter. After all, he did nothing wrong. Strictly speaking, he not only helped him, but also relieved his father's illness. He had to thank him no matter what, but today's fact made him feel too frustrated.

Thinking of the above, Li Shimin couldn't control himself and began to pour wine into his mouth. Li Xiu, opposite him, looked at him and shook his head helplessly again. In fact, Li Shimin was really pitiful. He tried hard to please his father for the throne. Unfortunately, because of his natural disadvantage, he was always suppressed by his elder brother Li Jiancheng. It was not until the end that he took the risk to launch a coup. Even if he tried hard to be a good emperor later, the matter of killing his brother and imprisoning his father still became a stain that he could not wash away in his life.

Li Shimin was in a bad mood and kept drinking one cup after another. Finally, he was drunk and could not get up again on the table. Li Xiu had known that it was a result, so he went outside and called several of Li Shimin's guards and asked them to help carry Li Shimin to the guest room to rest, and then untie his armor. This thing was heavy and strong, and Li Xiu could not untie it.

Li Shimin would definitely not be able to go back if he was drunk, and it was not convenient for him to go back now, because in the eyes of outsiders, Li Shimin has always been a calm and wise image. If he returned to the palace drunk, it would probably have a huge blow to the image he worked hard to create. The personal bodyguards around Li Shimin also knew this, so they all agreed to let him rest at Li Xiu.

I thought Li Shimin would wake up until afternoon at most, but he forgot that Li Shimin marched from Tuyuhun all the way, and basically didn't rest well on the road, especially last night, I rushed to the road overnight. I drank so much wine before, but I couldn't wake up as soon as I fell asleep.

It was not until the next morning that Li Shimin woke up from his sleep, but the feeling of a hangover was not very good. The pain in his mind made him moan, and then he stood up and looked at the strange room. It was not until then that he suddenly remembered that it seemed that he was drunk, but he didn't remember what happened afterwards.

When Li Shimin left the guest room, the guards outside immediately came up and briefly explained his drunkenness yesterday. After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded, then washed his face and went to the inner house to find Li Xiu. Anyway, Li Xiu had not gotten married, and only had an unemployed sister, so there was nothing to avoid suspicion.

When Li Shimin met Li Xiu, he was slowly practicing Tai Chi in the yard. Although the weather was very hot recently, Li Xiu still tried his best to maintain the habit of morning exercises. Moreover, the morning exercises during this period have shown effects. For example, he now feels that his body is much stronger and no longer as easily sick as before, and his strength has increased. If this continues, he can increase his exercise volume.

"What kind of boxing did Li Jijiu practice? Why is it so... so strange?" Li Shimin looked at Li Xiu's slow punching, and didn't know how to describe it at the moment, so he had to use the word "weird" to make excuses.

"Hehe, this is Tai Chi, which is Taoist health boxing. If you persist in practicing, you can not only strengthen your body, but also prolong your life." Li Xiu introduced with a smile, saying that he just finished his practice, and then he finally got angry.

If it were normal, Li Shimin might still be interested in Tai Chi. Unfortunately, he was not in a bad mood after a hangover. He only remembered that he seemed to have said a lot after getting drunk yesterday, but he forgot what he said. So he asked tentatively: "Li Jijiu, I was drunk yesterday, didn't say anything rude?"

"No, Your Highness talked to me a lot yesterday, but my wine was too strong, so Your Highness ended up getting drunk." Li Xiu said with a smile. He didn't know whether Li Shimin really or not, but as long as Li Shimin didn't mention it, he would never mention it on his own initiative.

After hearing Li Xiu say this, Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up to say goodbye. However, seeing that Li Shimin's face was not good, Li Xiu guessed that he might be the reason for the hangover. He immediately tried to keep him and wait a little longer, at least drink a bowl of drunken soup before leaving. Li Shimin really felt an unbearable headache, so he agreed.

The two of them came to the living room again. Yuechan quickly brought sober soup and an ice basin was placed in the living room, so it felt very cool. Li Xiu was used to taking a shower after morning exercise because he was covered in sweat, but it was definitely not possible now. In desperation, he had to let Yuechan give him a portion of ice food and make do with it to cool down.

Li Shimin was quite surprised when he saw that Li Xiu had ice basins and ice food. He also knew that Li Xiu’s home was not big, and he had a quarrel with Li Jing again, and he had no deep foundation. Therefore, it should be impossible for his family to have a luxurious building like an ice cellar, but where did his ice come from? Could it be that his third sister gave it to him?

Just when Li Shimin couldn't figure out where the ice in Li Xiu's house came from, she saw Qi Niang running in from outside with a sweaty mistress. She was also suffocated, so after getting up early in the morning, Qi Niang took the mistress out to play outside while it was cooler, but the sun was so hot that it couldn't stand it, so she hurried back home.

Seeing Qi Niang being so hot, Yue Chan hurriedly gave her ice food, and even had a mistress. Don’t think that dogs don’t know the heat and cold. In fact, the mistress hid in the corner of the living room every day during this period, and either jumped into the river, knowing how to enjoy it than Li Xiu, and she also liked to eat ice food with milk.

"Li Jijiu, your dogs eat ice food. Isn't this too extravagant?" Li Shimin finally couldn't help but speak, even though he was a prince, he had to make very careful calculations when using ice in summer, otherwise it would not be enough.

"Haha~, it seems that His Highness of the King of Qin has never seen the princess, otherwise he would not have said that." Li Xiu said with a smile, and even took Qi Niang's ice food. The child had just moved on and could not eat too cold food, and eating ice every day was not good, which made Qi Niang very angry, but Li Xiu just refused to give it to him.

"What does this have to do with my third sister?" Li Shimin asked even more puzzledly.

Seeing that Li Shimin still didn't understand, Li Xiu didn't want to explain any more, so he signaled Yuechan to bring a basin of water and bring saltpeter. Then he sprinkled the saltpeter into the water in front of Li Shimin. As a result, in a short while, the water in the basin began to freeze.

Li Shimin looked at the magical scene in front of him, but he couldn't react for a long time. He was also guessing whether this was a spell or his own illusion? It was not until this time that Li Xiu smiled and explained: "Your Highness, please see, the one that was put into the water just now is actually saltpeter. It can absorb heat when it encounters water, so that the water condenses into ice. With this method, it can continuously create ice cubes, so naturally there is no need to worry about wasting."

"It turned out to be saltpeter. I didn't expect it to have such a role!" Li Shimin said in shock when he heard this. Then he suddenly thought of something. He slapped the table excitedly and said, "It's really God helping me. Some time ago, when we attacked Tuyuhun from east to west through Shu, the biggest difficulty was the stuffy weather there. Although Tuyuhun is now destroyed, a heavy army needs to be stationed nearby to prevent Tuyuhun from changing. It's just that my Guanzhong man is not adapting to the climate of Shu. If saltpeter makes ice in summer, it would be much better!"

When Li Xiu heard that Li Shimin wanted to use saltpeter in the army, he was also stunned, and then suddenly felt a little moved. It seemed that saltpeter really had a huge fate with war. Even though it had not used saltpeter to make gunpowder, it had already participated in the war with another identity.

Thinking of the role of saltpeter in the army, Li Shimin was so excited that he couldn't suppress himself and was about to say goodbye and leave now. Li Xiu didn't want to keep Li Shimin anymore. After all, the closer he got to him, the more likely he would be to be dragged into the water in the future.

At that moment, Li Xiu personally sent Li Shimin to the door, but just as Li Shimin was about to leave, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horse hooves from afar. Then a team of knights rushed towards him, and the leader was Li Chengdao, who had just arrived the day before yesterday.
