Chapter 616: Cotton
Xiangxiang princess Li Xiang is fourteen years old, long pink carved jade.
Even though Li Yuan didn't like Queen Cui very much before, he was very fond of this princess.
Now that Li Yu has become the crown prince, he naturally loves Li Xiang even more.
After Li Xiang ate this bite of bacon, he immediately felt that it was very delicious.
"Big brother, are you the bacon that Cui Tong said?"
"Cui Tong, the eunuch, has a very fast mouth, and even told you this."
Li Xiang pursed her lips, "Tell me what's wrong, I'm curious about what you are doing killing so many pigs, even the queen mother is curious......"
Princess Xiangxiang talked a little endlessly, and Li Yu was helpless, "You came just to taste bacon?" ”
After being interrupted by Li Yu like this, Li Xiang suddenly remembered and said, "Of course not, I am going to the warehouse to find something, and I have come to ask my father for instructions." ”
The warehouse, of course, is the inner treasury of the imperial palace, and anything in it belongs to the royal family, not connected to the household department, in fact, many times, the money spent by the emperor is taken from the inner treasury.
After Li Xiang finished saying this, he looked at Li Yuan, Li Yuan put down his chopsticks, and said, "Go ahead, you can take whatever you want, as long as you file with the Zongren Mansion." ”
Hearing this, Li Xiang was immediately overjoyed, but when she left, she pulled Li Yu out.
The cold wind outside was blowing, Li Yu shrunk his neck, he didn't feel it in the house, and when he came out, it was a little unbearable.
Li Xiang is no better than him.
"I'm eating well in there, what do you have to pull me out for?" Against the cold wind, Li Yu was a little unhappy, and then suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What are you looking for when you go to the inner library?" ”
"Brother Prince, don't be angry, okay?" Li Xiang suddenly became coquettish, which made Li Yu a little uncomfortable for a while, and judging by his man's intuition, he was afraid that Li Xiang was begging for himself.
"What the hell are you going to do?"
In the face of such a cute girl's coquettishness, no man can withstand it.
Li Xiang suddenly smiled, "Brother Prince, have you forgotten, soon Cui's mother will leave the palace to make a wish to the queen mother, and she will go to the Great Country Temple for a month, there is no warm pit in the Great Country Temple, it is very cold, Cui Ma's body is poor, and she can't stand the cold, so I thought, go to the warehouse to find a warm mink fur for Cui Ma, so that she can also be warm, right?" ”
As soon as Li Xiang said this, Li Yu remembered that beside their mother, there was an old woman in her fifties, Cui Ma, who had been following their mother for many years, because when she gave birth to herself, her mother said that she would go to the Great Power Temple every year to make a vow, but as the queen, it was inconvenient for her to leave the palace, so she asked Cui Ma to do it for her.
Cui's mother is very good to their brother and sister, and she treats Cui's mother very well with Li Xiang.
This is a very normal thing, but what puzzles Li Yu is, does such a thing need to be coquettish?
There must be something else.
Li Yu glanced at Li Xiang and said, "Then you mean to let me find him a mink fur?" ”
Li Xiang shook his head, "I'll find him, I just want my brother to tell your mother, let me follow Cui's mother to Daxiangguo Temple, I heard that at this time, Daxiangguo Temple is lively, and every day I also give porridge to the poor people, I'll follow Cui's mother to play for two days, okay?" ”
The Great Power Temple is the largest temple in the capital of the Tang Kingdom, there are many believers in it, the incense is prosperous, in winter, there is soup soup almost every day, in addition, the Great Power Temple will also invite some opera troupes to set up a stage at the entrance of the Great Xiangguo Temple, and sing the big drama for six days.
There are all kinds of dramas, including almost all parts of the Chinese countries, Li Xiang rarely goes out of the palace, and he has never seen the big dramas that the people like to hear.
It's fake that she wants to go to Xiangguo Temple, and it's true that she wants to listen to the play.
After Li Yu understood Li Xiang's thoughts, he said, "You are a princess, and it is not appropriate to go to Xiangguo Temple." ”
"I ...... I just want to get out of the palace to play. ”
Seeing that Li Yu didn't agree, Li Xiang was a little anxious, Li Yu suddenly hung up his nose, and said, "If you want to play, just tell your mother to live in my East Palace, and I will let Yu Chi Baolin take you to play casually." ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, did my brother lie to you?"
Hearing this, Li Xiang was immediately overjoyed, and then pulled Li Yu and rushed to the inner library.
The inner library is very large, and there are many rooms, but relatively speaking, it is much looser than the household department, and they only need to go and talk to the people in the Zongren Mansion before they can enter.
Li Yu and Li Xiang entered a room with various animal skins, and the animal skins there were all prey hunted during the autumn hunt every year, and they were dried and stored after being skinned, and they had to be processed again to make clothes.
There are a lot of skins in it, and it is naturally very easy to find a mink fur, and soon, Li Xiang found a suitable one, and then had to leave with Li Yu.
After all, it's all prey to kill, and she doesn't really like it.
But just as they were walking out, Li Yu suddenly saw a ball of cotton in the corner, yes, he felt that he was not mistaken, it was a ball of cotton.
But here in the Tang Kingdom, how can there be cotton.
"Don't worry, wait for me."
As he spoke, Li Yu ran over, and after taking out the ball of things, he saw that it was really cotton, but unfortunately, there was only one ball, not a lot.
"Let's go!"
The two of them went out of the warehouse and found the person in charge of the Zongren Mansion, Li Yu took out the cotton and asked, "Is there anything else about this?" ”
The person in charge looked at the ball of cotton and said, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, there are more, and there are a lot of them, this is the cotton sold to us by merchants in the Western Regions, but this thing looks white, but after it is sold, I don't know how to use it, so I threw it into the warehouse." ”
Hearing that there were many more, Li Yu was overjoyed, so he didn't listen to the people from the Zongren Mansion, and directly ordered, "Send me all the cotton to the East Palace." ”
"What's the use of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asking for this?"
"Soon you will know what this thing is for, and the people of my Tang Kingdom will soon not have to endure the cold winter."
The people of the Zongren Mansion still didn't understand, but Li Yu didn't want to explain it to him anymore, just let him do what he was told.
Li Xiang was a little impatient, and pulled Li Yu to Queen Cui's bedroom.
"Brother Prince, what do you want that cotton for, let's go quickly......"
Hearing Li Xiang say this, Li Yu was a little speechless, this is simply a tyrannical thing, what does cotton do, such a good thing, don't you all know what to do?
Li Yu smiled bitterly, shook his head, and didn't bother to explain to them, wanting a person to believe in one thing, saying that it was better to do it.
When he made it, they understood the use of asking for cotton.
