My father, Li Shimin, please call me Crown Prince

Chapter 10 Please ask the King of Wei to call you the Crown Prince!

East Palace, parade ground.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, sprinkling on a piece of bluestone slab in a mottled manner.

Li Chengqian was wearing military uniform, veins bulging on his arms, and sweat from his forehead dripped down his strong chin, soaking the dust on the ground.

The two stone locks swung up and down, mobilizing the muscles all over the body.

Sure enough, there are changes.

Feeling the abundant energy in his body, Li Chengqian's face showed joy.

Although he has a lame leg, it does not prevent him from exercising.

There had been speculation before that inexplicable changes had occurred in the body, and now it has finally been confirmed.

After his leg became lame, he slacked off on physical exercise, often drinking and having fun, and his body was almost drained out.

The reason why he died of depression in the second year after his exile was largely related to his physical condition.

And now, Li Chengqian feels that his body is as if it has regained a second spring.

The palace maid next to him saw the prince stop and hurried over to wipe his sweat.

This was originally the job of the eunuch Wen Zhong, but Li Chengqian felt uncomfortable with it, so he asked a palace maid to do it.

"The Crown Princess is here."

Wen Zhong said in a low voice.

Li Chengqian stopped and turned to look. Su Yuer and several palace maids were running towards him.

"Your Highness, why do you have to work so hard?"

Seeing the prince sweating profusely, Su Yuer felt a little distressed.

"It's just that one leg is lame, it's not that I can't walk or move."

"I've been living a ridiculous life these days. My body is worn out. It's time to exercise."

Li Chengqian doesn't want to die young, so proper exercise is essential.

And now that his body has changed and he is full of energy, Li Chengqian is more interested in exercising.

Seeing the prince like this, Su Yuer felt more happy than happy.

Su Yuer took the drawing from the palace maid and showed it to the prince.

"I asked the painter to make this according to your Highness's idea."

"I have found seven painters who are good at this, and the craftsmen in the palace have brainstormed together to make the most comfortable wheelchair for Your Highness."

"Your Highness, please see if you are satisfied."

Li Chengqian took the drawing.

The wheelchair above is drawn in great detail.

The paintings of the Tang Dynasty mainly focused on figures and landscapes, and there were not many paintings similar to this kind of woodworking.

The fact that Su Yuer was able to find a skilled painter in such a short time shows that she put a lot of thought into it.

There are many styles in many drawings, and the wheelchairs have exquisite carvings and decorations, highlighting the royal nobility. In many drawings, the wheels are nailed with fur, apparently for shock absorption.

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with the style of the wheelchair.

The only problem is the wheels.

"Maybe we can add two small wheels in front of the big wheel, maybe it will be more stable."

Most wheelchairs in later generations were like this, so Li Chengqian simply copied it.

"I'll ask the artist to repaint it."

"In about half an hour, Your Highness will be able to watch it again."

Su Yuer also felt that adding two small wheels would be better, so she continued happily.

"Prepare water and take a bath."

After practicing for about an hour, today's training is over.

Li Chengqian planned to find some doctors who were good at meridians to activate the blood circulation in his calves.

My calf is lame, but I can't give up. Maybe there is a way to cure it.

After all, I want to get my calf healed, and a wheelchair is just a temporary solution.

Today's medical skills are mainly in the field of internal medicine.

Li Chengqian planned to build a large medical clinic in Chang'an City to train a group of doctors who could treat bones and then support each other in research.

To put it bluntly, it means spending money to achieve success in the field of orthopedics.

Maybe a famous doctor will emerge and, after accumulating enough experience, cure his leg disease.

The cost of bone treatment for the common people is free, and they can also gain a good reputation, killing two birds with one stone.

Lying in the bathtub, Li Chengqian was thinking about the idea of ​​opening his own orthopedic clinic.

The eunuch came to report. "Your Highness, His Majesty asked you to go to the Western Inner Courtyard."

The Western Inner Courtyard is located to the north of the Taiji Palace and the Eastern Palace. The gate from the Taiji Palace to the Western Inner Courtyard is the Xuanwu Gate.

Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident from the Western Inner Courtyard.

"What does he want to do? West Inner Courtyard, Xuanwu Gate, is he hinting at something?"

Li Chengqian couldn't help but think about the special nature of the Western Inner Courtyard.

In fact, Li Chengqian was really overthinking it.

The reason why Li Shimin chose the Western Inner Courtyard instead of the Purple Palace was that he wanted the prince to be closer and not have to walk too far.

The Ice Well Platform is also in the West Inner Courtyard, where a large amount of ice is stored.
-
West Inner Garden, Royal Garden.

Pavilions and towers are arranged in an orderly manner, connected by long corridors, and the scenery changes with every step.

In front of the flowing stone bridge, Li Shimin and several others were chatting and laughing.

Led by the eunuch, Li Chengqian limped over.

Seeing the prince coming, everyone stopped talking.

"Father." Li Chengqian bowed.

"Take a seat."

Li Chengqian looked up and saw that there were four people below Li Shimin.

Wei Zheng is slightly plump and has sharp eyes.

Fang Xuanling with a friendly face.

My uncle, Changsun Wuji, has a braid and wears a black hat.

Prince Li Tai of Wei with a fake smile on his face.

After taking a quick glance, Li Chengqian took a seat.

Seeing the prince take his seat, Li Shimin waved his hand, and immediately a eunuch came over with a portion of Sushan.

Sushan, the ice cream of the Tang Dynasty.

On the exquisite plate is a small iceberg covered with cream, ghee, various chopped fruits, raisins, and flowers for decoration.

"Thanks to the prince, we are blessed to enjoy this Sushan today."

"Otherwise, Your Majesty would not be willing to use these few ice cubes to make ice cubes. I'm afraid there are only a few left in the ice well."

Changsun Wuji laughed and tried to smooth things over, which instantly dispelled the awkward atmosphere.

After all, just yesterday, the prince was whipped with a horsewhip by His Majesty, and the scabbed scars can still be seen on his face, which looked hideous and twisted, like a centipede, and quite creepy.

Now that Changsun Wuji had spoken, it was easy for Li Shimin to start a conversation.

"It's already September, and there are still a few pieces of ice left. I'll use them to make crispy ice cream to fight off the autumn heat."

The emperor is a saint, and as a father, it is impossible for Li Shimin to apologize to his son.

This Sushan Mountain represents Li Shimin's comfort to the prince.

Li Chengqian picked up the spoon, scooped a piece and put it into his mouth. It tasted really good, not much different from the ice cream of later generations.

Seeing Li Chengqian eating the Sushan, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Then he said, "Cheng Qian, I called you here this time because of your leg disease."

"Thank God for your help. We now have a cure for your leg disease."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's eyes lit up and he was quite looking forward to it.

Who wants to be a cripple? In just one day, Li Chengqian missed the days when he had normal legs and feet, and he also understood why his original body was so full of resentment.

"Please let me know, Your Majesty."

Li Chengqian bowed.

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Speaking of which, you should thank Qingque a lot for this."

"He has been running around for your leg pain. Yesterday, I got news that there is a magical medicine in Tianzhu called White Jade Ointment. If you apply it to the injured leg, it will heal in a few months."

When he heard the name of White Jade Ointment, the light in Li Chengqian's eyes gradually dimmed.

If it was just a name, Li Chengqian could still retain a glimmer of hope, perhaps it was just a homonym.

However, since this news came from Li Tai, the King of Wei, there was no doubt that it must be false.

I sent someone to assassinate him some time ago, and now he has found a magical medicine that can heal my leg injury. It seems ridiculous just to think about it.

There is no room for maneuver between the two brothers.

Li Tai also looked at Li Chengqian at this time, smiled and bowed, saying: "Brother."

Li Chengqian didn't want to give any face at all, and interrupted directly: "Please call the prince the king of Wei!"
