"Little Marquis, then Long'er went down and prepared to prepare." Long'er said as she stood behind Xuan Shijing.

"There's nothing to prepare, call a few housekeepers, and I'll go to the kitchen with you to have a look."

took Long'er to the kitchen, Xuan Shijing looked around, the things prepared for the New Year in the mansion are quite complete, and it is not troublesome, not to mention, the food in the kitchen of the Yiguo Mansion is not much less than that of the Hou Mansion.

"Long'er, tell me to go down, bring all these cooking utensils in our house, and bring some of the others that we make in our house, today's luncheon, I'm afraid I will trouble you, by the way, the cook Lao Wang and his wife will also go to Uncle Qin's house together, and I can't let you work there by yourself when the time comes." Xuan Shijing commanded.

"Yes, little marquis." Long'er replied.

Instructed the housekeepers to move all the things that could be used in the kitchen to the ox cart that had been set, Xuan Shijing and Long'er got into the carriage driven by Gao Jun, while the cook and his daughter-in-law followed the ox cart sitting behind, and the group went to the Qin Mansion.

The palace, because it is the first month, the courtiers have a holiday, this holiday just means that there is no need to come to the palace every day to discuss the court, and the handling of political affairs is indeed indispensable, and it is precisely like this, the government of the Tang Dynasty is still operating normally, and His Majesty Li Er is also more leisurely than usual.

In the Lizheng Palace, His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun are sitting on the couch playing, and the two black and white dragons on the chessboard are fighting inextricably, and then looking at His Majesty Li Er and the Empress, they are always smiling, looking relaxed and natural, as if the tense situation on the chessboard has nothing to do with the ruler.

His Majesty Li Er picked up the teacup on the side, drank a sip of steaming ginseng soup, smacked his lips, and looked at Empress Changsun: "Guanyin, I heard that Qingque brought a cart of money to Shijing's mansion today, you say, what is he going to do?" ”

Empress Shi Ran smiled: "This is stumped for the concubines, Your Majesty also knows that the relationship between Qingque and Jing'er has never been close before, and this time they have been running to Jing'er's mansion for two consecutive days, and the concubines also feel puzzled, but if Your Majesty really wants to know, why ask the concubines here?" ”

Li Er laughed, put down the ginseng soup in his hand, picked up a sunspot again, put it in the center of the chessboard, and said with emotion: "Guanyin, I found that since I ascended the throne and became the emperor, I have become less and less aware of these children of me. ”

"Your Majesty, where are you talking about this?" Seeing Li Er like this, Empress Eldest Sun hurriedly stopped: "Isn't this old saying all said, knowing the son is better than the father." ”

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been busy with government affairs every day, even if Chengqian is with me, I am just related to his studies and talk about some state affairs, not to mention Qingque and Ke'er, on weekdays, these children are Guanyin and you are disciplining, and it is really hard for you."

"This is what a concubine should do, Your Majesty is the king of a country and the lord of the Tang Dynasty, and he must not be able to take care of the children like the father of ordinary people, Cheng Qian, Ke'er, and Qingque all understand." Empress Changsun comforted His Majesty Li Er.

"Virtue." Li Er called.

"The slave is here." Deyi bowed forward.

"Summoning Bai Ze into the palace, I have something to ask him." His Majesty Li Er commanded.

"No." Deyi responded, and then went out of the Lizheng Palace, summoning His Majesty's secret guard, and Deyi himself had to do it.

"Your Majesty still can't help but be curious, isn't he?" Empress Eldest Sun quipped.

"Yes, I know everything about what the children want to do on weekdays, but this time, it is really beyond my expectations, so I want to know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Qingque." His Majesty Li Er said with a smile.

"Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Wei asks to see you." Yuan'er stepped forward and said goodbye.

"It's really about who's coming." Empress Eldest Sun smiled at His Majesty Li Er, and then turned her head to look at Yuan'er: "Please come in." ”

"Yes." Yuan'er responded.

"Yuan'er." His Majesty Li Er opened his mouth to stop Yuan'er.

"What else does Your Majesty command?" Yuan'er turned around and saluted Li Er.

"You let people catch up with Deyi and tell him that there is no need to do what I told him, just ask Qingque directly." Li Er said.

"Yes." Yuan'er received the order and turned to leave.

"The son has seen his father and the queen mother." Li Tai walked into the Lizheng Hall and saluted Li Er and Empress Changsun.

"No courtesy." Li Erxuan held it with his hands.

"Qingque, didn't you just come here in the morning to say goodbye, why did you come here again so soon." Empress Eldest Sun got up from the couch and came to Li Tai with a smile.

"The son heard that his father was here with his mother, so he came to meet his father and ask him for a favor." Li Tai said to His Majesty Li Er.

"Oh? What grace? Let's take a look. His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Tai with interest.

"Erchen hopes that his father can let Erchen leave the palace at any time." Li Tai arched his hand and said without changing his face.

Leaving the palace at any time? Li Er was stunned, this Qingque had just returned to the palace from the Hou Mansion and came over to ask for such a favor, what does it have to do with Xuan Shijing?

"Qingque, I heard that the people below said that you went to Jing'er's mansion?" His Majesty Li Er asked, "As soon as you came back, you came over to ask me for such a will, is it related to Jing'er?" ”

"Back to my father, yes, my son plans to help Shijing make paper." Li Tai replied.

"Papermaking?" His Majesty Li Er was puzzled, what kind of paper should he make: "You and listen to me carefully." ”

Li Tai told Li Shimin everything before and after, and Empress Changsun also listened carefully on the side.

"Jing'er wants to study new paper, because it's uncomfortable to wipe your ass with hard yellow paper?" His Majesty Li Er glared at Li Tai.

Li Tai nodded obediently, looking at Li Shimin, whose face was uncertain, and felt a little hairy in his heart.

"Insulting Sven!" His Majesty Li Er slapped the table and stood up angrily: "Guanyin, look at this Jing'er, you should really teach it well!" First I had the punctuation marks to ask me for reward, and now the paper is transformed to ...... Alas! His Majesty Li Er sighed heavily.

"Father and Emperor still have ......," Li Tai glanced at Li Er weakly.

"What else?" At this time, His Majesty Li Er was a little crying and laughing.

"It's that Shijing Zhuangzi wants to dig a river and build a reservoir upstream, and the child is going to help on his Zhuangzi."

This time it was the turn of Empress Changsun to smile a little bitterly, and she didn't know what to say.

"Jing'er, this kid is definitely using Qingque as a free long-term job!" His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "That's it, I didn't expect that the relationship between the two of you would become so good after Qingque's knot was untied, Qingque, tell your father, what do you think, why do you want to help Shijing make paper and dig rivers?"

Knowing the whole story from Li Tai's mouth, His Majesty Li Er was a little puzzled.
