Today's Taiping Fang is a little different, when the notice was posted, almost all the merchants breathed a sigh of relief, and all the customers said it was good.

The merchant spends less, and the corresponding price will be lower.

But for people who can come here regularly to spend, it's not a big deal, they have money, they can afford to spend it.

The ones who are really happy are those who are a little cautious, who hold on to the extravagant ones who have been saving up for months.

"Shop, let's have a set meal, take it away!" A man in his mid-fifties walked into the hot pot restaurant and greeted the restaurant who was busy preparing to pick up customers.

"The store has launched a new dipping sauce, do you want Xiao Xiang to give it a try?" Seeing that it was an old acquaintance, the store also hurriedly greeted him warmly.

Hot pot is generally not taken out, but the person in front of him is not ordinary, he has been the prime minister for many years alone, and he never bargains, even if it costs some extra money to take it away, he never frowns.

And it's very regular, every five days, I must personally order a hot pot set to go back, and I have never been absent for more than a year, even if it is windy and rainy, I have to go to the store in person.

Some new dishes and the like, I will definitely try them.

"Then add two copies!" Xiao Yu nodded, whether it was delicious or not, I would only know after eating.

Xiao Yu doesn't care about the money, let alone what the outside will say, even when the court is in turmoil, he still has to abide by the rule of coming once every five days, no matter how busy he is, he will never fail to come.

The price of a hot pot meal is not cheap, especially for takeaway.

In a short time, all the dipping sauces for the dishes were ready, with a few guys holding the bottom of the pot and the rest of the packed dishes and dippings.

Seven hundred dollars, paid neatly to the shopkeeper, and then walked with a few men to a courtyard in a corner of the Taiping Square.

When she arrived at this familiar courtyard, looking at the lively atmosphere in the courtyard, Xiao Yu was stunned.

"Sister, what is this?" Walking to her sister's side, Xiao Yu asked suspiciously.

Since my sister returned to Chang'an, she has lived here for a long time, and she has never easily stepped out of here, that is, she came by herself, and her sister will pick up at most in the door, and the grandson has been in a slump since she came to Chang'an.

And in my memory, my sister has never been so lively here, and there are so many gifts.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just sent someone to send it, and my sister can't persuade her, but she can't return it!" Empress Xiao sighed, a little helpless.

Living in the house given by others, I feel a little unhappy, and now I have received so many valuable gifts, I don't know how many years after Xiao Hou, and I am a little helpless at the moment.

"Since it was given by the prince, then my sister will accept it with peace of mind, and my younger brother will do his best to assist the prince." Xiao Yu sighed secretly in his heart, understanding Li Yuanji's purpose for doing this, but in his sister's place, he still said it directly.

If you retreat, you will definitely not be able to go back, even if you do, not only will Li Yuanji feel that you are clean, but will make him feel that you don't want to have anything to do with him.

Besides, even without these gifts, Xiao Yu couldn't raise the heart to deal with Li Yuanji.

After my sister came back from Saiwai, she also asked a lot, including the days in the Turks, and how she lived in the hands of King Qi, and just King Qi's kindness and respect for her sister, Xiao Yu had to admire and admire.

"As a minister, you should assist the prince and do your best for the court, my sister is just an ordinary old woman, how can you accept these gifts from His Royal Highness the Prince?" Empress Xiao's face changed, and she reprimanded the younger brother of the prime minister, who was a little upside down: "I heard that there is another big drought this year, these gifts are too valuable, you can take these things away later, find a place to exchange food, and scatter them in the name of the prince." ”

"Sister, why bother? Ay! Xiao Yu sighed deeply, she didn't have any need for life, even if it was something she sent, her sister just picked some that could be used, the cheap ones were left, and all the others were returned, it was because she knew her sister's temper, Xiao Yu didn't plan to continue to dwell on this issue, and continued: "I brought my sister's favorite hot pot, and this time there is a new dipping sauce, which should be pretty good." ”

Hot pot was liked by Empress Xiao when she was in the north of Qi Kingdom, and after returning to Chang'an, she never thought that there was also one here, and the taste was exactly the same.

By chance, my younger brother learned the news, so he regularly brought hot pot here, you said you didn't eat, he also sat down to eat together, and in the end, Empress Xiao could only acquiesce to this matter.

"Yo? Eating? The two sisters and brothers were eating hot pot, Li Yuanji suddenly came uninvited, seeing this scene, he didn't have any idea of not disturbing the gathering of relatives, and directly pushed the door in, as if he had entered his own home, and greeted with a smile.

"The old woman didn't know that His Royal Highness was here, so she was far away ......to greet her" Empress Xiao hurriedly put down her chopsticks, stood up and saluted Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji was frightened and made empty actions to help people, after all, men and women do not kiss, if this is placed in the future generations, it will be on the special meow.

"My cousin-in-law is like this, but Ling Gu is at a loss!" Li Yuanji shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You and I are a family, so you don't have to care about these so-called etiquette." ”

beckoned the attendant to bring a table of new dishes, not disgusted, Li Yuanji was embarrassed to come empty-handed, so he learned from Xiao Yu to bring a table.

squeezed his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Cousin, cousin, don't you mind if my little cousin also rubs it, right?" ”

"Your Highness has tormented the old minister......" Xiao Yu didn't even dare to say it.

Cousin, cousin, little cousin......

In terms of age, Empress Xiao is already in her fifties, and Li Yuanji is only in her twenties, which is completely different from the age of a generation.

But there is no way, in terms of seniority, Li Yuanji is really their little cousin, although this matter has nothing to do with Empress Xiao, but as the so-called marrying a chicken and a dog and marrying a dog, Li Yuanji is the genuine little cousin of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.

This relationship is that Li Yuan's father and Yang Jian have a common father-in-law, not only that, but the wives of the two of them are also from a biological mother, a genuine sister.

The latter is the lonely queen in history and Yang Guang's biological mother.

If it weren't for this identity, why would Li Yuanji and Li Shimin treat Empress Xiao with the same kindness?

"This green vegetable, there will be no shortage of it in a while, and when it comes to winter, you can also eat fresh, and when the time comes, I will send some to my cousin every day." Li Yuanji kept pulling the routine, and Xiao Hou and Xiao Yu just listened quietly and never interjected.

After a short period of effort, Li Yuanji felt a little bored.

didn't eat much effort, and Empress Xiao retreated first on the grounds that she was full, leaving only two cousins, one old and one young, staring at each other.

"It's okay to see my cousin-in-law, I'm relieved, you sisters and brothers must have a lot to talk about, so don't bother!" Li Yuanji also got up directly to say goodbye, and Xiao Yu was stunned.

came in a hurry, left in a hurry, leaving a few words that were not nutritious, and Xiao Yu was full of doubts, Li Yuanji just left so lightly?

However, with Xiao Yu's cleverness, even if Li Yuanji didn't say anything, he could guess what he meant.

The emperor is profound, and to sum it up, it is nothing more than a simple relationship.

Li Yuanji's purpose is the same, the new monarch ascends the throne, and the big and small affairs in the court and the central government must not be fully controlled by him alone, and some important ministers with status and qualifications are particularly important.

Especially his position, plus Li Yuanji's current situation.

It is not enough to rely on himself alone, so he will inevitably win over more people, no matter who this person has served before?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu had to be amazed by Li Yuanji's scheming, and couldn't help but be amazed by the luck of the Li family: "It seems that the sky is really endless, Li Tangna!" If the brother-in-law also has such a shrewd son, why did the Great Sui perish? How did everyone give birth to this child? ”

"That's in the past, don't mention the past." Empress Xiao appeared behind Xiao Yu at some point, thinking of her husband and son, she couldn't help but be a little silent.

There are some things that envy can't be envied, the excellent Li Jiancheng is dead, and the superior Li Shimin is also doing well, quite ambitious, although Datang has been messed up, but Xiao Yu also saw Li Shimin's talent.

Now that Li Shimin is dead, the new Li Yuanji is better than his two elder brothers, although Li Yuanji has not yet ascended the throne, but Xiao Yu seems to see what the future will look like.

"We are now human ministers, and human ministers should do what human ministers should do!" Xiao Hou said earnestly.

……

Out of Xiaohou's courtyard, Li Yuanji didn't feel relaxed, but he wasn't nervous either.

The relationship network can't be pulled out in a day or two, come over by yourself today, don't say anything, don't do anything, in fact, it is to give Xiao Yu a reassuring pill, as for the rest, I'll talk about it later.

"Being the emperor is really tired, and when he finishes this vote, Lao Tzu must take a good rest, and it is best to rest until the sky is dark......" Li Yuanji muttered secretly.

Whining doesn't solve the problem, what should come is always coming, and then Li Yuanji still has to visit some important ministers.

For those people, this is enough face, and if anyone dares not to give face next, then there is nothing to say.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Meddlesome! Good things are coming~~~" Song Zhong, who had disappeared since he entered the courtyard, had a happy face, and his steps were bounced lightly, shouting to Li Yuanji's side.

"You'd better really say something good, or I'll promise never to kill you!" Li Yuanji, who was depressed, looked at Song Zhong, who was obviously not in the same channel, and said intimidatingly.

As if aware of Li Yuanji's emotional problems, Song Zhong only took less than a second to completely take back his happiness, and instead was in the same channel as Li Yuanji, and said in a low voice: "The person brought back, she is the only one!" ”

"Who?"

"She's ......"
