Chapter Forty-Eight: The Sensible Princess Jinyang
Not long after Li Chengqian's stomach was out, he saw the eldest grandson Wuji accompany a group of beauties and Jin King Li Zhi into the Lizheng Palace.
Hurriedly got up to meet him, and said with a smile: "Hello uncle! β
"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"I've seen big brother!" Others say the same thing.
"Uncle doesn't have to be polite!" Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "It's cold outside, come into the hall!" β
As soon as Li Chengqian turned around, his hand was grabbed by a pair of small hands, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a six or seven-year-old girl with a pair of bright big eyes flickering at him.
Li Chengqian guessed that it should be his youngest sister Princess Jinyang, Princess Jinyang is the last daughter of Empress Changsun, how can she be seven years old this year, one year younger than Li Xiang, but because of poor health, she looks much thinner than Li Xiang.
Li Chengqian really didn't have any immunity to her cuteness, so he directly bent down and picked her up, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for so long, do you miss your eldest brother?"
Princess Jinyang was suddenly hugged by Li Chengqian, and she was a little uncomfortable at first, but when she saw Li Chengqian looking at her with a smile, she reached out and put her arms around Li Chengqian's neck and whispered: "Jinyang misses big brother!" β
Li Chengqian laughed when he heard this: "You are really a villain. "Hold it and go inside.
Princess Changle and Princess Xincheng hurriedly followed: "Be careful, don't fall." β
The eldest grandson Wuji walked behind, looking at the harmony of their brother and sister, and also showed an old and relieved expression. It's just that when I saw the lonely princess Chengyang, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
Li Chengqian's Lizheng Hall was designed according to the living room of the eunuchs in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there was no throne screen.
At the top is a table of eight immortals and two Luo hoop chairs, and on both sides are sixteen official hat chairs in their early four with coffee tables, these tables and chairs are made of yellow rosewood, with bright yellow satin cushions and backrests, which look brilliant by candlelight.
The eldest grandson Wuji and the princesses had never seen the living room as furnished, and they all frowned and looked at the fact that they didn't know how to take a seat.
Li Chengqian put Princess Jinyang down on the Luo Circle chair at the head, turned to everyone: "Today is our own family, everyone can sit casually." As he spoke, he sat down on top of his own.
The eldest grandson Wuji was unhappy when he saw it, but he didn't show it.
Li Zhi saw that everything here was different from other places, and he was very curious to hear that he could sit casually, so he was the first to sit on a chair in his early fours, and felt very comfortable as soon as he sat down, so he smiled cutely and said: "Big brother, your small Arhat bed here is really good, can you give a few to my little brother?"
"Haha, it's not a bed, it's a chair!" Li Chengqian corrected with a smile.
"Not a bed?" Hearing this, Li Zhi's eyes widened and he looked at Li Chengqian and asked.
"Brother Jiu is so stupid and doesn't understand anything." Princess Jinyang said to Li Chengqian very seriously.
Everyone in the room was amused by Princess Jin, but Li Zhi just rolled his eyes and stopped squeaking.
The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head to express helplessness, and sat down, and then the three princesses of Changle, Chengyang, and Xincheng also sat down with a smile.
When Li Chengqian saw that everyone was sitting down, he ordered tea to be served, and immediately a palace maid brought bamboo leaf tea and various fried snacks.
Li Chengqian was not used to drinking tea from the Tang Dynasty since he crossed over, but although he was dressed as the crown prince, there was no way to make fried tea in the winter. Fortunately, he doesn't often drink tea in modern times, and he usually drinks it with light bamboo leaves, so today's tea is also made from light bamboo leaves.
The eldest grandson Wuji picked up the white porcelain tea cup and looked at the two green bamboo leaves inside, lowered his head and tasted it, the taste was light, but there was a faint aroma in the aftertaste.
I couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the prince can make so many wonderful poems, it turns out that he drank such elegant things." β
The others hurriedly put down the dim sum in their hands when they heard this, picked up the teacup and lowered their heads to take a small sip, it should not have tasted the elegance that the eldest grandson Wuji said, so they were all a little dazed.
"It seems that I can't write good poems in my life, and I can't even drink this bamboo leaf tea." Li Zhi said in frustration.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw him cute, and even the eldest grandson Wuji shook his head dumbly.
"Bamboo is loved by a gentleman, and if Brother Jiu is not a gentleman, he naturally can't drink the fragrance of bamboo leaf tea." Princess Jinyang mends the sword.
Li Zhi ignored her, grabbed the twist flower on the table and ate it "rattling", as if he wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction in his heart on the twist.
Li Chengqian took a sip of tea and said: "This bamboo leaf tea has the effect of clearing heat and dissipating fire, removing annoyance and diuretic. But you can't drink too much, because these snacks are fried in oil and easy to get hot when eaten, so it's good to drink with this bamboo leaf tea. β
"Oh, bamboo leaves are still medicinal herbs!" The eldest grandson Wuji said and drank the tea in the teacup, got up and said, "I'll go to the Chongxian Pavilion to have a look, so that I don't have to be here, and their sisters are uncomfortable." β
"Let's go, I have something to give them here, it's in the Chongxian Pavilion." Li Chengqian also got up and walked out as he spoke.
"Big brother!" When everyone walked to the door, Li Chengqian heard someone calling him, looked back and saw that it was Princess Chengyang, who was looking at him timidly, and when he saw him, he blushed and slowly lowered his head.
Li Chengqian looked at Princess Chengyang, who was only fourteen years old, and wanted to rush over and beat Du He immediately, you are older than me, so be my brother-in-law!
However, Li Chengqian quickly reacted, Princess Chengyang was now very worried about Du He, and hurriedly ordered: "The old ghost will take Princess Chengyang to Yichun Beiyuan, and let the shy dining room cook a few more good dishes for the princess." β
The old ghost hurriedly agreed, and led Princess Chengyang to Yichun Beiyuan.
The eldest grandson Wuji thought to himself: It seems that Du He was indeed arranged by the prince, and those who sued were also arranged by the prince. But if they didn't want to take the East Palace, they shouldn't have accepted those unfounded forms at all, and it was really difficult to distinguish who was against whom.
When everyone came to the Chongxian Hall, they saw that the people in the front hall, whether they were bachelors, straight scholars, students, and scribes, were busy with their feet on the ground.
Piles of books were neatly laid out on the big case, and the scholars and straight scholars were in charge of checking them one by one, and then handed them to the students and scribes, and let them be stacked one by one, and then stacked up one by one, and the servants tied them up one by one with new hemp ropes.
"What are you doing here?" Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but ask.
When the people inside heard this, they turned around and saw that they were all busy putting down their work and saluting them.
"You've worked hard, let's rest for a while." Li Chengqian said with a pleasant face.
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" The people inside walked out in a playful manner.
Li Chengqian led everyone in and pointed to the books on the case, and said to Princess Changle and the others: "This is my new note on the "Four Books Collection Notes", each of you will give you one, take it yourself!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and took a copy of what they had compared and handed it to the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji subconsciously caught it and said, "This book was bet on by His Royal Highness the Prince?" I couldn't believe it.
Li Chengqian smiled when he heard this, pointed to the book in his hand and said, "Uncle, please take a look!"
The eldest grandson Wuji was busy reading the book, and opened the first article is a teacher who said, this is written by Li Chengqian's novice, and it is also engraved according to Li Chengqian's words when it is engraved, so it is a thin gold body, and the eldest grandson Wuji saw it at a glance.
"Big brother! Eldest brother! Princess Jinyang called beside her.
Li Chengqian saw that Princess Jinyang was holding a set of books in both hands and was looking up to call him, so he hurriedly squatted down and asked her, "Jinyang, do you have anything wrong?"
"Big brother, give this book to your father, my father will be happy to see it." Jin Yang Gong said that the little adults are as authentic.
Li Chengqian didn't have any ability to resist her, so he immediately agreed: "Okay, big brother will pick another set, and you will dedicate it to your father for the eldest brother, do you think it's good?"
Princess Jinyang tilted her head, thought seriously for a while, and said, "Okay, but the eldest brother has to write another poem to dedicate to his father, and it will be better than what you wrote to Zheng Guogong yesterday!" β
"Oh why?" Li Chengqian asked deliberately.
"My father really wanted that letter, and he said yesterdayβ" Speaking of this, Princess Jinyang turned around and ran to a corner of the room a little farther away from everyone, and then beckoned to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian smiled, got up and walked over and squatted in front of Princess Jinyang.
Princess Jinyang looked at the people over there, and said in a low voice: "Father scolded yesterday, scolding Zheng Guogong for not being worthy of that song at all, let alone that word, saying that you are not filial to ...... eldest brother" Princess Jinyang said that she fit into Li Chengqian's arms and said coquettishly: "Big brother, you can write a poem for your father, and let your father be happy......
Li Chengqian looked at the sensible Princess Jinyang and immediately surrendered and agreed.
