Chapter 302 Cake
It was already noon when I arrived in Jingyang, and I could smell the aroma of the food after getting off the carriage.
I walked into the horse circle with a familiar way, and there were already several plates of side dishes on the dining table.
Li Lizhi sat down and started eating on her own.
He came out of the kitchen with a bowl of bone soup. Li Zheng saw Li Lizhi eating the dishes she cooked, "Your Highness, why are you here today?"
"Someone asked me to bring you a message." Li Lizhi said after taking a bite of the dish.
Put the bone soup in the center and the two of them sat opposite each other and ate it.
Several female guards skillfully turned their backs and released the wind with vigilance.
"This is called salted duck eggs. I pickle myself without pollution pure green." Li Zheng said.
"Salty duck egg?" Li Lizhi said after taking a bite, "It tastes a bit salty, but it's very delicious."
After taking a sip of bone soup, Li Lizhi asked again: "What's this dark thing?"
"This is soy sauce, and I made it myself. I will take it to our market to sell it someday."
Li Zheng picked up a piece of boiled pork, dipped it in some soy sauce and put it in Li Lizhi's bowl, "Try it."
Li Lizhi picked up the pork and ate it in her mouth, "very fresh."
Seeing that Li Lizhi was a little anxious, Dahu poured tea after a meal.
After taking a sip of tea, Li Zheng saw Li Lizhi wiping her mouth, "You can't eat such delicious food in the palace."
Li Lizhi put away her handkerchief, "It's just that you have to sit up at the palace when you eat. It's too particular, but you're still free here."
"The princess just said someone brought me a message?"
"Yes." Li Lizhi nodded and said, "Your life and death gate has been solved."
"Tell me," Li Zheng was also a little surprised.
Li Lizhi whispered: "The two guards guarding the hygiene gate and the death gate. As long as you kill one of them, you can ask which one is the life gate and which one is the death gate."
"It's interesting." Li Zheng smiled.
"Isn't it right?"
"No." Li Zheng shook his head.
"That's just not untied?"
"Misinterpreted my question."
Li Lizhi asked with a look of her head: "Then how do you think this problem should be solved."
Li Zheng shook the goose feather fan in his hand and said, "The person you just mentioned just now has been wrong in the end. If he kills one of them, he can only get an answer. No matter what the gatekeeper who was not killed says, he can only choose to believe it."
"In this way, there will be no way to survive and no life can be found. It seems to be solving the problem, but in fact it is to find a way to simplify complex problems, but it ignores that this is a very complex problem."
Seeing that Li Lizhi was a little confused, Li Zheng smiled and said, "Is it right?"
"Yes." Li Lizhi said with her chin in her hand.
Li Zheng said: "For example, there is a group of people in front of you who say that it is a life gate, and another group of people say that it is a death gate. After you kill one of them, you can only get one answer. If you lose the conditions for argumentation, it will be wrong in the end."
"Yes." Li Lizhi nodded.
"But..." Li Lizhi looked at Li Zheng and said, "If you can't come up with the correct method of solving the problem, it will be difficult to convince this princess. Don't worry, I will never tell your answer."
Li Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "Listen to you, Your Highness, there are now life gates and death gates in front of me, as well as guards who only speak truth and guards who only speak lies."
Li Lizhi nodded and signaled to Li Zheng to continue.
"Then I'll ask the question next." Li Zheng shook the goose feather fan and said, "No matter which one can tell the truth or which one can tell lies, I'll ask one of them first, is it the one who tells lies to guard the Shengmen?"
The words came to an abrupt end.
Li Lizhi fell into silence.
"For example, the answer I received was: No." Li Zheng smiled and said, "What he guarded must be the Death Gate."
Seeing that Li Lizhi was still confused, Li Zheng said, "Your Highness, don't think too much, this question has a thinking trap."
"Thinking trap?"
Li Zheng nodded, "The same thinking trap as the magical art of infinite wealth, the nine palaces connected."
Li Lizhi sighed, "It seems that she was reckless."
"Monkey King, the cake is ready, is it going to be served?" Dahu said after returning.
"Pull the cream and take it out."
"Okay."
The big tiger came with the butter cake and placed it between the two.
Li lit a candle in the middle of the cream cake, "I'm going to know that your princess, today is my birthday, and today I'm thirteen years old."
"Your birthday?"
Cut a piece of cream cake and handed it to Li Lizhi and said, "I originally wanted to make egg noodles today. I prefer egg noodles compared to cakes. A batch of chicks just hatched in the village. After making the cake, my eggs were not enough."
“Aren’t the eggs in the village all yours?”
"The village chief's grandfather divided the family, and each family is divided together. I have at most twenty. I will wait until the hen lays eggs next time and then divide them, and I will leave some hatched chicks."
Li Lizhi took a bite of the butter cake, and there were some dried fruits in the cake.
"It's so delicious." Li Lizhi ate with a smile on her face.
The little girl finally laughed. She looked unhappy when she came here today.
Sure enough, girls have no resistance to sweets, such as cakes, since ancient times.
The cake was big and I was full after taking a bite. Li Lizhi regretted that she had eaten so many meals before.
Li Li went back with the remaining half of the cake with satisfaction.
On the way back to the palace, Li Lizhi passed by the samurai's house, and Li Lizhi said to Wu Mei who had been waiting at her door: "Your answer is wrong."
"Wrong." Wu Mei stood there, "How could it be wrong?"
"I thought it wrong from the beginning, but no matter how I answered it later, I was wrong."
After Li Lizhi said that, she asked the coachman to rush back to the palace.
Wu Mei stood there suspiciously, was she wrong?
I thought it wrong from the beginning, but I will only make mistakes again and again afterwards.
Sitting in front of the steps at the door of his house, Wu Mei was thinking about the question of the life and death gate.
"What is the correct answer?" Wu Mei was still thinking. Li Zheng asked this question and even the scholars in Chang'an could not answer it.
Even His Highness the King of Wei and the current crown prince could not answer, and Wu Mei became more and more curious about Li Zheng.
It was not until it rained in the sky that Wu Mei returned to her home.
Li Lizhi returned to the palace and distributed the cake to her younger brothers and sisters.
Just as I was about to take a piece of cake to distribute it to my father, I heard the discussion inside as soon as I walked outside the Ganlu Hall.
When I heard Wei Zheng's voice and Fang Xuanling's voice, I was vaguely talking about the Tubo king Songtsen Gampo.
Li Lizhi walked into the hall and talked before she stopped.
"Father, this is a cake." Li Lizhi put the cake on the table.
Feeling the dull atmosphere in the Ganlu Palace, the father and several ministers all had stern faces.
