Chapter 94 Homemade Mooncakes!

Time flies, and soon, the Mid-Autumn Festival will come.

At night, the moon is as bright as a disk, and there are many stars.

The street market is decorated with lanterns and festoons, full of joy.

To celebrate this Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Shimin specially set up a family banquet in the palace.

Li Yin prepared early on, wearing brocade clothes and satin, thick and lovely.

He was the last one to arrive at the family banquet. After getting out of the carriage from the palace gate, he ran all the way to the scene with gifts.

The mind of an adult, the body of an eight-year-old child, with two short legs running upside down, running fast.

"Father, mother, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Before anyone arrived at the scene, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun heard Li Yin's soft voice from a distance.

Suddenly, everyone was taken aback, and then laughed.

Li Yin said that he ran into the scene amidst the joyful laughter of the crowd.

"Father, Queen Mother, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, a gift for you."

Li Shimin was grinning from ear to ear, his face turned red when he saw his youngest son running, and he waved to him.

"Okay, I've got my heart, Min'er, come and sit here with your mother and concubine."

Li Yin saluted and thanked him, he looked like a doll and smiled super sweetly.

Because it was a family banquet, those officials' children were not invited to the stage. Empress Changsun sat with Li Shimin, and Concubine Yang sat on the right.

In this way, when everyone arrives, the banquet begins.

Li Shimin just gave a look, and the chief eunuch passed on the song and dance.

Suddenly, the sound of the piano played, and the dancing girl entered the arena like a fairy.

Although Li Yin is an eight-year-old child, he couldn't help showing admiration.

But although the singing and dancing are graceful, Li Shimin has been the emperor for decades, and he is already tired of watching them, so Li Shimin looked at Li Yin and said:
"Singing and dancing all day long is boring. Min'er, do you have any interesting ideas to make this Mid-Autumn Festival lively?"

Li Yin was still immersed in the graceful dancing posture of the dancers of the Tang Dynasty, and he was taken aback when he heard Li Shimin say this.

What can he do about it?Even modern methods won’t work here?
But when the emperor asked questions, he had to answer even if he didn't know, so Li Min saluted and said:
"Go back to father, this Rong Erchen think about it."

So he made a thoughtful expression.

Seeing Li Yin's cute appearance, Li Shimin laughed heartily.

"Okay, I'll think about it, let everyone feel the festive atmosphere."

But in this ancient times, what interesting activities can there be?

Li Yin looked at the snacks on the table and thought about it.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

【dessert! 】

[Hey, why don’t you eat moon biscuits during the Mid-Autumn Festival?Just come to mooncake DIY once and forget it. 】

Thinking of this, Li Min cupped his hands and said to Li Shimin: "Father, why don't we make our own mooncakes? In previous years, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone ate mooncakes made by the imperial kitchen, and they tasted the same every year. This year, we will make our own mooncakes, so that we, as children, can Let me express my feelings to you, what do you think, Father?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin immediately understood what mooncake DIY was about, and immediately felt that the idea was very good.

After all, he has indeed eaten mooncakes from the Imperial Dining Room for several years, and he is really bored with the same taste in the past.

At the same time, he wanted to see what kind of mooncakes his son would make. After all, during this period of time, Li Yin's behavior was really outrageous.

"Min'er's method is novel, and I haven't tasted the children's handicrafts yet, so I will follow Min'er's attention."

With that said, he asked the chief eunuch to prepare the ingredients.

Li Yin grinned, looked at the back of the chief eunuch leaving, and said to Li Shimin: "Father, if the mooncakes eaten by the servants suit the taste of the father, will there be some prizes?"

Li Shimin was drinking tea, but raised his eyebrows when he heard Li Yin's words.

This spooky little bastard really won't let go of any good chance.

Sure enough, there is nothing to be courteous about, rape or steal, this bastard...

"If Min'er cooks delicious food, I will naturally reward you. Of course, as long as the food is delicious, I will reward you!" Li Shimin said quietly.

When the princesses and princes heard this, they were all eager to try.

Especially for princesses, women have an advantage in making dim sum.

Soon, a group of people came with ingredients and tools.

The princesses and princes rolled up their sleeves one after another, hoping to show off their skills in this homemade mooncake activity and get Li Shimin's reward.

The most important ingredient for making moon cakes is flour.

When a group of children got the flour, the painting style suddenly changed.

"Sixth brother!"

It was a peaceful scene of making mooncakes, but Li Tai suddenly stopped Li Yin who was concentrating on his research.

Li Yin was taken aback by the call, and when he turned his head, a handful of flour hit his face.

Li Yin was stunned again, and Li Tao's laughter rang out at the banquet.

All the people also pursed their lips and laughed.

But at this time, Li Yin just realized, blinking and looking at Li Shimin.

At that moment, Li Tai panicked and stood there with his head bowed like a child who has done something wrong.

Li Shimin's face was sullen, and the scene almost became silent in the blink of an eye.

All the princesses, princes, and concubines began to panic.

As a result, after taking a few breaths, Li Shimin laughed out loud, and changed his serious look just now, but gloated a little.

It had been a long time since he had seen the children so noisy.

"Don't worry, I'm not that careful, today is a family feast, everyone can do whatever they want." Li Shimin said with a smile.

Only then did the atmosphere ease up.

Li Yin instantly grabbed a handful of flour and fought back, hating Li Tai more than Li Tai, instantly turning Li Tai into a noodle man.

Li Lizhi and Li Leyan covered their faces and smiled lightly, the picture was so discordant.

"Fourth brother! You messed with me first, don't blame my brother for being ruthless."

"Hey, hey. Sixth brother, a gentleman uses his words but not his hands. You can't bully the big with your little ones like this. You know that the fourth brother is reluctant to hit you hard."

Li Yin smiled "hehe", and as he spoke, several handfuls of flour had already been thrown out.

"Hey, fourth brother, I've only heard that a gentleman doesn't move his hands but doesn't speak, and my younger brother is young, so you must give way to your younger brother."

Li Tai was chased by Li Yin and ran all over the garden, Li Shimin's laughter pierced through the sound of the piano.

"Guanyin servant girl, look at this child, it's better when he was young."

After laughing, Li Shimin said with emotion.

Empress Changsun cracked the corner of her mouth when she heard Tiantian, her tone was gentle.

"In the eyes of my concubine, His Majesty will always look so young and energetic."

Li Shimin smiled and patted the back of Empress Changsun's hand, and then looked at the children, who seemed a little eager to try.

It's a pity that he is the emperor, so he has to take his image into consideration.

And when everyone gathered together and played happily, Li Chengqian quietly stirred the flour with his fingers.

From the looks of it, it seems a little uncomfortable.

But after all, he didn't participate, and started to knead the dough, wanting to perform well in front of Li Shimin.
