In Chang'an in early spring, the evening was still very cold, and when Li Chengqian and Qin Qiong rushed to the Royal Academy of Sciences, Li Chengqian found a coat from the carriage and put it on Qin Qiong, and then walked off the carriage.

After getting out of the carriage, Mo Cheng had already stood outside with a group of Mo family children to greet Li Chengqian's arrival.

"Mo Lao, it's so cold this night, why are you still coming out, let's go, how can you hurry in, Uncle Qin, you should hurry up too" After speaking, Li Chengqian helped Mo Cheng to walk towards his residence, and at the same time nodded to Sun Lou and the others who came over.

Seeing Li Chengqian supporting Mo Cheng so naturally, and chatting with him from time to time, Qin Qiong was a little stunned, he felt that Li Chengqian, the prince, was too approachable, and sighed and hurriedly followed.

However, when Li Chengqian was in Mocheng's room and asked about the situation of the Academy of Sciences, Qin Qiong saw that Li Chengqian heard Sun Lou, who was not much different in age from himself, report that when the furniture workshop was using a large amount of precious wood to make furniture for the Military Academy, Li Chengqian directly pointed at Sun Lou and scolded there.

"Sun Lou, your brain is in water, use those precious woods to make furniture for the Military Academy, do they use it? Changed it to this king, all of them were replaced with the kind of hard and wear-resistant texture, you have to remember, there is a military academy, whether it is a student or an instructor, you must treat everyone equally, you can't specialize, if the king of Shu asks, just say that this king said, day by day you know that you are fooling, what are you doing here, get out" After scolding Li Chengqian drove Sun Lou out.

After that, Li Chengqian and Mo Cheng and a group of Mo family disciples who knew how to build and calculate, told him about the things he had discussed with Qin Qiong before, and then they discussed there, during which they also asked Qin Qiong a lot about what requirements he had for the defense of the city.

When the discussion was almost over, after Li Chengqian explained that they were doing a good job, Li Chengqian and Qin Qiong had dinner at Mocheng's place and left the Academy of Sciences.

"Your Highness, where did you find such a group of talents, none of the professional questions can be understood by the ministers, you are good, you can discuss it with them" When leaving, Qin Qiong asked Li Chengqian the question in his heart.

"They, they are all found by themselves, but they are really talented, Uncle Qin, you rarely go out, I don't know them, just when we first arrived, the one who was scolded by me, his carpentry skills, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first in the Tang Dynasty, and he can also improve the straight plough alone, that is a real talent, as for I can discuss one or two with us, that is, I have a lot of ideas, and I am not the opponent of one of them compared to ten of them" Li Chengqian said to Qin Qiong with a smile.

"Your Highness, you are too modest, but listening to your conversation today, it really opened the eyes of the old minister, it turns out that there is still so much knowledge in the world, and they are really as His Highness said, they are all great talents" Qin Qiong looked at Li Chengqian and said with emotion.

"Yes, they are all great talents, but when they came to Chang'an, their lives were not very good, obviously they were talented, but because they were all children of the Mo family, and they didn't have any way" Li Chengqian said, remembering what Mo Tong and they looked like when they first came to Chang'an.

After that, Li Chengqian and Qin Qiong chatted again, and it was not until the carriage arrived at the Yiguo Mansion that the two stopped, and Li Chengqian personally helped Qin Qiong out of the carriage and sent him into the door before saying goodbye to Qin Qiong and leaving.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a dragon and phoenix among people, if you don't contact him, who can know, he is so knowledgeable, and he is capable of writing and martial arts, and in the future, under his rule, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be more prosperous" Looking at the carriage that Li Chengqian left, Qin Qiong secretly thought in his heart.

At this time, Li Chengqian didn't know Qin Qiong's evaluation of him, but was thinking about how to improve the Royal Military Academy, and at the same time thinking that he was going to visit those generals.

In fact, in his heart, the one he wanted to get the Royal Military Academy the most was Li Jing, the military god Li Jing who used soldiers like a god, but it was a pity that he was not in Chang'an now, otherwise Li Chengqian would really like to visit.

Thinking like this, the carriage drove to the East Palace, which was already lit up at this time, although it was already night, but in the theater, it was a jubilation.

This is all thanks to the operas and songs that Li Chengqian made, and now in the entire palace, concubines and princesses, big and small, will go there every day when they have nothing to do, especially in the evening, and even their father and grandfather will go if they have nothing to do.

Looking at the lively scene over there, Li Chengqian shook his head and did not go over, but walked towards his dormitory.

When he arrived at the dormitory, Li Chengqian saw that it was lit up, so he walked in, and saw Xia Ju and the three of them sitting there sewing something in front of the lamp, and when they saw Li Chengqian coming in, they hurried up one by one, and then one took off his coat for him, one went to fetch him water, and one went to get him shoes to serve him there.

"Why didn't you go to the theater, how many times have you said it, don't sew things at night, it hurts your eyes like that" Li Chengqian soaked his feet, and then looked at Xia Ju and they were concerned.

"We have listened to those operas many times, and we have all listened to them, so our sisters didn't go, and husband, you have to be served when you come back," Mei Ying knelt behind Li Chengqian and said to him while squeezing his shoulders.

"Serve, isn't there a palace maid! That's what you do every day, but those operas are a little less, it seems that you should get more out, otherwise it's not a matter if you have nothing to do every day, but when it comes to relieving boredom, your husband and I really have a way, Yan'er, you go and get some thick and hard paper, Xia Ju, you bring my paint and pen, and my husband will give you a fun thing tonight" Saying that, Li Chengqian asked Xia Ju and Yang Yan'er to find something, and he took out his feet, didn't wipe the water, and sat on the edge of the seat with his shoes on.

That's right, what Li Chengqian thought of was poker, but when Xia Ju and the others were taking things, he really made a difficulty, how to design this JQK and A and the big and small kings, this copy must not work.

In the end, Li Chengqian thought for a long time, the JQKA letters remained the same, that is, the pattern changed, J became a fox, Q became a leopard, K was a bear, A was a tiger, and the king was a dragon.

After deciding, Li Chengqian picked up Xia Ju and the paint, paper and pen they had found and drew there.

And this one took Li Chengqian almost an hour, and this was when Li Chengqian taught Xia Ju to get 2 to 10.

In the end, a deck of Datang version of playing cards was completed with the joint efforts of Li Chengqian and his wife.

Looking at this handmade deck of playing cards, Li Chengqian couldn't wait to pull Xia Ju and them to sit on the bed.

"Come, come, come, the playing cards are ready, now my husband will teach you how to play" Li Chengqian said excitedly to Xia Ju and them.
