"There is Concubine Lao." Li Sipang picked up the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "The tea sent by Xu Qilin has been drunk for a few days, and I am used to it. ”

"Since Xu Cheng said that it is good for the body, the concubine went to buy it according to the prescription." Yan Wan suddenly smiled and said, "If you want to say that Xu Cheng is really stingy, how much can this tea be worth, just send it on time, and bring the recipe, wouldn't it be for people to buy it themselves after eating?" ”

Li Sipang smiled and said, "Concubine Ai, do you know that Xu Qilin gave it to her father is the same?" ”

Yan Wan was stunned for a moment, then said, "In this way, I don't know what he thinks." If it were someone else, I would like to be able to deliver tea often! ”

Li Sipang said: "I was also puzzled at the beginning, I just thought that Xu Qilin was proud of his talent and disdained to be favored in this way. It was only yesterday that I chatted with Xin'er and guessed Xu Qilin's thoughts. ”

Oh, Yan Wan blinked his big eyes and looked at Li Tai, waiting for him to continue to explain.

Li Tai said: "The food in Xufu is delicious, and it is said that the dishes of Zuixiaolou flow from Xufu. After the slave and the son ate it, they liked it very much. But Xu Qilin only occasionally asked the little sister who entered the palace to accompany her to bring a few things, and never pretended to others. Xin'er once met Xu Qilin in the palace......"

After listening to Li Tai's story, Yan Wan nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see, Xu Cheng is not stingy, but thoughtful and guardy. ”

"yes!" Li Tai smiled bitterly and said, "Because of this, it's not good for me to get too close. I just begged my brother, and I wanted to take the opportunity to invite him to the house to say goodbye, but who thought that he would go out of the city to do business, and he had not returned for two days. ”

"The reputation of the King of Shu-" Yan Wan cautiously stopped talking, and said suspiciously: "What is the relationship between the King of Shu and Xu Cheng, do you need the prince to agree?" ”

Li Tai told Li Su again about being kicked out by Xu Qilin in the drunken night building, and shook his head helplessly: "This Xu Qilin, on the surface, looks gentle and polite, but I didn't expect to have such a violent side." ”

Yan Wan thought for a while and said, "Knowing that he is the king of Shu, Xu Cheng is still so bold, is there something else hidden here?" ”

Li Tai pondered for a moment and said, "I also think it's a little strange. What my brother is doing is not like a temperament that can give up! Such a shameful thing, he didn't retaliate back, strange, strange! ”

Yan Wan took the pot and refilled the tea, and said, "When Xu Cheng comes back, the prince will know when he says goodbye." Well, to reconcile the contradictions between the princes, no one can say anything else. ”

Li Taishen thought so, his father went to escape the summer, and the prince was in charge of the capital to supervise the country, so he naturally wanted to keep a low profile and not let the imperial brother seize the handle. Naturally, he won't be able to beat him up, but it's also a shame to find an excuse to discipline him.

"That's right." Yan Wan thought about something again, and said to Li Tai: "Today, the little sister came to the mansion and said that Xu Cheng went to the Ministry of Industry to recruit several prospecting masters, but I don't know what to do. ”

Li Tai nodded and said, "I know." When I see Xu Qilin, I may be able to inquire about it. ”

"Lord Wang, please rest early, don't stay up late to study." Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Yan Wan got up and retired.

Li Tai sent the princess to the door, turned back to the table and sat down, drank tea, and fell into deep thought.

Although the eldest brother Li Chengqian is very good, his father doesn't seem to know about it, and he still keeps him in prison. So what's the best strategy right now?

Maybe temporary forbearance is the best policy, waiting for Li Chengqian's masterpiece, his father was completely disappointed in him; waited for himself to lead someone to finish compiling the "Chronicles of the Territory", so as to overshadow the prince and get the favor of his father.

Li Tai thought of Xu Qilin again, and thought that he had won the lottery because of his guidance, and he had established a good image in front of his father and ministers.

Xu Qilin also said several times that "fighting is not fighting, and not fighting is fighting", which seems to be reminding him. But just wait, then the throne can be smashed on his head? Li Tai was skeptical.

…………….

When the rooster crows, open the door to fight, and after preparing to stop, the car driver has gone out of the palace one after another, stretching for several miles, and hugging the ground to go to the Jiucheng Palace.

Xu Qilin was a little depressed, and his excuse to go back to preside over the work of Dayingku was rejected by His Majesty Li Er. If there is any instruction, let him write a letter and deliver it by the post station.

From Chang'an to Jiucheng Palace, the people who delivered the letters along the way kept coming, and Xu Qilin's letters could also be added to it, but this high-level treatment did not make him feel excited and happy.

Working under the nose of the leader is indeed a stressful and difficult thing to be free.

In fact, this is also mostly a psychological effect. His Majesty Li Er has so many things to do, can you still keep staring at him?

Chirp, chirp! Xiao Qi and Xixi hovering in the air seemed to be startled by the huge formation on the ground, and they didn't dare to fall for a long time, making a cry that seemed to be anxious.

Xu Qilin had no choice but to take the horse to the side of the road, which was relatively a place with fewer people, and stretched out his hand to wave it in the air.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Qi, who was too bold, flew twice around his head and slowly fell. After a while, the evening also descended to rendezvous.

Xu Qilin took out some wheat grains from the leather pocket on the horse's back, reached out and handed them to the two birds, allowing them to peck at their hands.

"Little bird, little bird—" The childish voice came, and a large cart moving in the middle of the road lifted the curtain, and a small face with baby fat appeared, staring at it with big eyes, and screaming in surprise.

Hey, isn't this a chubby girl in the new city, she also went to escape the summer!

Xu Qilin beckoned to Xincheng Xiaogong, but this time he just smiled and didn't dare to show his front teeth.

Xincheng Xiaogongju probably looked at the birds, blinked his eyes, and smiled at Xu Qilin reluctantly. Then, with a glance, he stared at the two birds again.

Xu Qilin started lightly, and the speed was the same as that of the car, so that Xiao Gongju could always see the birds.

The two little birds were full of food and drink, and flew from the horse's head to Xu Qilin's shoulders for a while, and jumped on his head for a while, jumping happily.

It seems that even the birds are adapting and gradually understanding that although there are many people here, there is no danger. Also, how dare the officers and soldiers of the escort move and shoot birds with bows? I'm getting impatient.

Xincheng Xiaogong grinned, looked even happier, and let out a giggle.

Xu Qilin smiled, and also had a childlike heart, tilted his head, close to the bird on his shoulder, and communicated with it with consciousness.

Chirping, chirping, Xu Qilin taught it several times, but Xiao Qi was still stubborn, and his voice was still the same. Xixi turned her little head, as if she was understanding and pondering, and only after a while did she shout unfamiliarly and vaguely: "Hook a few, hook a few!" ”

"Princess, princess." Xu Qilin fed Xixi two fried soybeans, which was not only a reward, but also patiently taught.

After eating the fried soybeans, Xi Xi spoke again, "Public action, public action." ”

Xu Qilin touched Xixi's little head, and praised with a smile: "It's really good, there is a reward." ”

Many birds in the starling family, the crow family, and the parrot family can learn to speak, but with different abilities.

The most common people who learn to speak are starlings and parrots, and magpies and crows can also speak if they are taught well, but they are very rare.

And the magpie, as a bird with a super high IQ, can communicate with Xu Qilin face-to-face, can quickly understand his intentions, and pop out words that are not too clear, which is not too strange.

"Ni, Ni!" Xiao Qi saw that he couldn't eat fried soybeans, so he was a little anxious, and he jumped out coldly, but it was Scarlett who was taught by Scarlett during this time.

"Gongju, Gongju!"

"Reverse number, reverse number!"

The two birds, you and I, competed in front of Xu Qilin. Xu Qilin laughed, and the rewards kept coming.

Xincheng Xiaogongju's eyes widened, and his small mouth opened into an O-shape, not to mention how surprised he was. And then - Xiao Gongju suddenly disappeared from the car window.

What's the matter, what a beautiful bird show, why is there no shadow?

Xu Qilin was still wondering, as soon as the curtain of the car window was lifted, the little face of Xincheng appeared, and there was another familiar one, but it was a little son. It turned out that the sisters were sitting in a big car.

Xincheng stretched out his little fat hand, pointed at Xu Qilin with an anxious face, and shouted: "Sister, look, that bird is talking!" ”

The little son who was woken up by his sister was still a little confused, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Parrots can talk, what's so strange." ”

"No, look at the bird...... Xincheng was in a hurry, and he didn't know what to say!

Hey?! When the little son saw Xu Qilin, he blinked his eyes vigorously, thinking that it was his uncle, he couldn't help but laugh immediately, and stretched out his hand to beckon, "Uncle, uncle." ”

Xu Qilin smiled, and in the surprised eyes of the guards and soldiers, he drove to the side of the car, arched his hand, and said, "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The little son looked around and asked expectantly, "Is Xiao Zhao here?" Is it in the back? ”

In the end, I am still close to my little sister, and the friendship and feelings under this knot should be the most sincere and pure!

Xu Qilin shook his head lightly and said apologetically: "Xiao Zhao didn't come, she can't accompany His Highness, she is also very sorry!" ”

The little sister is having a lot of fun in Zhuangzi, and she is happy for freedom. It's not easy to say, it's too unlevel.

The son showed a disappointed look, but then looked at Xu Qilin expectantly, and said, "Uncle, are you here to give me something good?" Fun, good-looking, or delicious? ”

Xu Qilin scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "I came to report to Your Majesty because I had something urgent." But it doesn't matter, Your Majesty asked me to drive to Jiucheng Palace, and I always have to stay for a few days. Whatever you want, I'll do it all. ”

"Little bird, I want little bird." Xincheng suddenly squeezed his little face to the window and looked at Xu Qilin with blank eyes.

The son reached out and touched the girl's face and said, "What's so good about the little bird?" Let my uncle draw a little book, write a story, and make good food. ”

Xincheng blinked, still staring at the two birds, grinning and laughing: "Uncle, will you give me the little birds?" ”

Xu Qilin laughed, this little fat girl is very smart, and her uncle screamed comfortably. But the bird has already been given to Scarlett, but it is not good to change hands again.

Under the expectant gaze of the princess of Xincheng, Xu Qilin said: "Let the birds play with Her Royal Highness the princess for the time being, and Weichen will send someone to buy better and interesting birds for Her Royal Highness the princess." This magpie grows big, has a sharp beak, and pecks very painfully. ”

The princess of Xincheng believed it, and looked carefully at the magpie's sharp beak with big eyes, after all, she was still a child, and she was not very bold, and she obviously had the intention of cringing.

The son knew a lot of things, and said on the side: "It's not easy to get little birds, there are them in Jiucheng Palace, and I heard that there are all kinds of parrots offered by Linyi and Lingnan!" ”

"The parrot is good, it talks and slips, and if it is taught, it can still sing!" Xu Qilin hurriedly added and successfully attracted the attention of Xincheng.

"Uncle, you help me teach them, just like these two, they don't need to be caged, and they won't run away." Xincheng called the uncle more slippery, and the little chubby face was called a cute.

"No problem." Xu Qilin agreed, boasting: "Don't say it's birds, even other animals, I can tame them obediently." ”

"Bunny okay?" Xincheng's eyes immediately widened and he asked, "I want a Bonnie." ”

Xu Qilin hesitated for a moment and said, "It should be possible, but Tutu is not as smart as a dog, and it is not easy to train." ”

"Bunny is cute!" Xincheng grinned.

The son touched the little sister's head with a smile, and said to Xu Qilin: "Uncle, you can make me some toys in Jiucheng Palace, you build a naughty castle in your own Zhuangzi, and I want the same." ”

"No problem." Xu Qilin readily agreed to come down, draw some drawings and guide, there is still a shortage of craftsmen to work?

Don't talk about naughty castles and amusement parks, what is the royal family going to do, it's not fast and good. Think about the unfinished Daming Palace, when Li Zhi became the emperor and wanted to rebuild it, it was completed in just over three months.

Accompanying the driver all the way, Xu Qilin told the stories of the farmer and the snake, Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, and Lu Dongbin and the dog.

Hehe, just kidding. Anyway, until the Jiucheng Palace, the two little princesses were happy and happy, which was not the same as the dull and boring rush in the past.

Jiucheng Palace is located in Tiantai Mountain, which is hilly and ravinely on the Weibei Plateau, with no scorching heat in summer and a cool and pleasant climate. Even in later generations, it was a beautiful scenery with green mountains and clear waters.

As a royal summer palace, Jiucheng Palace has a director to manage the palace room, one supervisor (from the fifth grade), one deputy supervisor (from the sixth grade), one Cheng (from the seventh grade), one person from the main book (from the ninth grade), one person from the record, three people from the house, and five people from the history.

Sui Dynasty was built at the beginning, Tang Dynasty rebuilt, Jiucheng Palace has the existing Dabao Palace, Danxiao Palace, Xianheng Palace, Yurong Palace, Paiyun Palace, Dressing House and other buildings, gather Du Shui into a lake under Ping Mountain, called the West Sea at the time.

And Jiucheng Palace is not as good as an ordinary palace, and even the name of the palace gate is similar to that of the palace.

There is Xuanwu Gate in the north, Yongguang Gate in the south, the outer wall outside the palace city, built around the surrounding hills, called the wall, which is equivalent to the outer Guo City, the purpose is to isolate outsiders from peeping at the palace garden, and garrison guards to ensure safety.

Outside the palace and inside the walls, it is called the Forbidden Garden, and it is an open river valley on the west side of the palace on the shore of the Du water.

The car drove into the Jiucheng Palace from the south gate, and the concubines and princesses went to the arranged palace, and Xu Qilin also had a placement, which was a house of the management director of the Jiucheng Palace.
