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.
At that moment, a eunuch hurriedly entered, “Your Majesty, the empress asked a maid to bring food. She says it’s an extraordinary delicacy and insists you try it!”
Li Shimin nodded, “Bring it here for me to see!”
Li Shimin was curious. What kind of food could earn such praise from Empress Zhangsun?
Zhang Anan quickly placed the food box on the table. Carefully opening it, the aroma of stewed ribs filled the air. Li Shimin and Li Chengqian couldn’t help but feel invigorated.
Li Shimin, forgetting the lunch sent earlier, urged, “Bring it to me!”
Li Chengqian agreed, “Please, Father!”
Seizing the moment, Li Shimin tasted the soup and was astonished. “This taste is exquisite, unlike anything I’ve ever experienced!”
Li Shimin understood why Empress Zhangsun called it a “rare delicacy.”
Li Chengqian and Zhang Anan nodded in agreement, their mouths watering.
Li Shimin, forgetting everything else, grabbed the ribs and tasted them. “Indeed, it’s delicious!”
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.
