Chapter 13 Tomatoes appeared in the Tang Dynasty!
Li Shimin stood up suddenly, followed by Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi, and the group walked quickly towards the inner hall.

With Li Shimin around, Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi felt more at ease, as if as long as he was there, any unknown danger was nothing to fear.

The two little princesses could no longer contain their curiosity and ran in front with their short legs. Shuying hurriedly followed, fearing that they would bump into anything.

As soon as they entered the inner hall, the tomatoes all over the ground came into view. The red fruits were scattered all over the ground, and the two little girls' eyes lit up immediately.

"Wow~" the little princess cried out excitedly, clapping her hands, "Tie it up~"

Sizi ran over with small steps, squatted down and picked up a tomato. The bright red fruit looked particularly tempting in her hand.

She couldn't wait to take a bite, but Shuying quickly stopped her, "Your Highness, this thing has an unknown origin, you can't eat it carelessly."

"I miss you so much~" The little princess pouted and looked at Shuying eagerly, her face full of grievance.

"Sizi, wait a moment, let me take a look." Li Shimin walked quickly into the inner hall and was stunned when he saw the tomatoes all over the ground.

Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi also followed in. Seeing this scene, they looked at each other in surprise and confusion.

"Look~" The little princess turned around and raised the tomatoes in her hand, her face full of anticipation, "They are all tied~"

Li Shimin squatted down, picked up a tomato and looked at it carefully.

The fruit was rosy, plump, and soft to the touch, obviously food, but he had never seen anything like it before.

He frowned, wondering: What on earth is this? Is it edible?
"It looks delicious." Li Lizhi also picked up a tomato and squeezed it gently.

"Hmm~" The little princess nodded repeatedly, looking at Li Shimin eagerly, wishing she could take a bite of him right away.

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun looked at each other, feeling a little hesitant.

Although this thing looks tempting, its origin is unknown after all, so it is probably not advisable to eat it rashly.

"Your Majesty, why not ask Imperial Physician Zhang to take a look?" Empress Changsun suggested. "He's knowledgeable and might recognize this thing. At the very least, he could tell if it's edible."

Li Shimin nodded, "Alright, let's do as the Queen says."

When the little princess heard that she still had to wait, she became anxious and held the tomato tightly, refusing to let go. "I miss you so much~"

Li Shimin smiled and touched her head. "Be good, Sizi. Wait until Imperial Physician Zhang comes to see you before you eat, okay?"

Although the little princess was reluctant, she nodded obediently.

Li Shimin, Li Lizhi and others picked up the tomatoes on the ground one by one and put them back into the white foam box.

Li Shimin picked up the box and looked at it carefully. He found that the box was surprisingly light and the material was something he had never seen before.

"What material is this? It's so light." Li Shimin pinched the box, his face full of confusion.

Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi also came over to take a look, and both shook their heads, "Never seen it before."

Li Shimin frowned, feeling that this matter was not simple.

He looked around, trying to find out why these things suddenly appeared, but everything in the inner hall was normal, nothing unusual.

"Forget it, let's wait for Imperial Physician Zhang to come and take a look." Li Shimin sighed and temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.

Not long after, Zhang Baozang hurried to Lizheng Hall.

He had long been accustomed to the strange situations that occurred from time to time in the palace, especially when the little princess was sick, it was common for him to run to Lizheng Palace several times a day.

But he didn't expect that even Li Shimin would be present this time.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Queen..." Zhang Baozang was about to salute when Li Shimin waved his hand to interrupt him.

"No need to be so polite, my dear, come and take a look at this." Li Shimin handed the tomato in his hand to Zhang Ananda, who then passed it to Zhang Baozang.

Zhang Baozang took the tomato, looked at it carefully, and frowned slightly.

He gently squeezed the fruit, feeling its softness and fullness, then leaned in to smell it, and a faint fragrance filled his nose.

"Your Majesty, I have never seen this before," Zhang Baozang said cautiously, "but judging by its color and smell, it should be non-toxic." He paused, then added, "Your Majesty, could I cut it open and take a look inside, and then taste it?"

"Yes." Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

Zhang Baozang took out a small knife from the medicine box and gently cut the tomato.

The flesh is bright red and juicy, and looks very tempting.

He cut off a small piece, examined it carefully, and tasted it cautiously.

"Your Majesty, this thing is non-toxic and can be eaten," Zhang Baozang said with certainty, "but I don't know what it is."

After hearing Zhang Baozang's conclusion, Li Shimin finally felt relieved.

He picked up a tomato and took a light bite. The sweet and sour juice burst in his mouth, making his eyes light up.

"The taste is indeed special, not bad." Li Shimin nodded with a smile on his face.

"Grandpa, it doesn't matter whether you tie it or not~" The little princess couldn't wait any longer. She held a washed tomato and looked at Li Shimin eagerly.

"Well, you can try it." Li Shimin nodded with a smile.

The little princess immediately took a big bite. The sweet and sour taste made her squint her eyes, "So refreshing and sweet~"

Li Lizhi also picked up a tomato, took a bite, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This sweet and sour taste is unique and delicious."

Seeing that everyone was enjoying their meal, Empress Changsun also picked up a tomato and tasted it elegantly.

She nodded slightly, "It's really good, sweet and sour, and it helps to relieve the greasiness."

Li Shimin looked at the tomatoes all over the ground. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, he couldn't help but smile when he saw his family members eating happily.

But he had a vague feeling in his heart that the appearance of these things might not be accidental...

I didn't expect these things to appear for no reason.

Xiao Ran put the things into the cold storage, counted them again and found something wrong.

One box of tomatoes is missing.

"What's going on?" Xiao Ran counted carefully twice again.

I found out that there was indeed one box missing.

"Could it be that something was missing when the goods were unloaded before?" Xiao Ran thought about it and called the deliveryman.

Xiao Ran is a regular customer and his demand is quite large.

When the deliveryman heard Xiao Ran say that there was a box missing, he didn't make a fuss and gave the supermarket another box on his way back.

The taste of tomatoes is completely different from that of lychees and watermelons.

But it still tastes good in the summer.

Mainly because I haven’t eaten it before.

The two little princesses enjoyed their meal very much.

Li Shimin stayed in the Lizheng Hall, hoping to see if he could find anything unusual.

This kind of thing makes people feel uneasy.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. We have checked several times and found no problems." Empress Changsun comforted Li Shimin.

In fact, Empress Changsun was also worried. After all, there is no free lunch in the world.

Always worried about the consequences.
