Li Hong, who was in deep thought, didn't notice at all that the mangzhong at the door had already spoken to him several times, and he was still staring at the map in front of him with a focused expression, imagining the picture of the two waterways attacking Zhenla and other countries in his mind.

Mang Chong saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was lost in thought, and he didn't dare to disturb loudly, so he had to turn around with a wry smile and apologize to Concubine Xiao Shu and Princess Xincheng.

Concubine Xiao Shu and Princess Xincheng, one is His Majesty's old love, and the other is His Majesty's own sister, but when they came to His Majesty's son, they were so snubbed? It just doesn't make sense!

What's more, the two of them were personally called over by His Majesty's son, saying that they had important matters to discuss after the next dynasty, which is good, and they will forget about the two of them when they are thrown aside!

Is it tolerable or unbearable, the two beauties glanced at each other, one stretched out a jade hand, with a cold smile on his face, and banged on the door of Shang Shuling's study!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is such a big show, I don't know what the purpose of summoning the two concubines here is not summoned?" Xincheng knocked on the door, and without waiting for Li Hong to look up, he walked in with a graceful twist of his waist and buttocks.

Concubine Xiao Shufei behind her followed behind, with the same smile on her face, looking at Li Hong who was buried on the desk: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of state affairs, I don't know if the concubine is waiting here to disturb His Royal Highness the Prince's administration?" ”

"I didn't ...... Hey? How did you guys get here? Li Hong raised his head from the map and the recital on the desk, glanced blankly, and asked the big beauty with a sneer on her face.

As soon as Xincheng heard the tone of His Royal Highness the Prince, he knew that this kid had forgotten about the incident that he had summoned him and Concubine Xiao Shu yesterday, so he raised his eyebrows upside down, crossed his waist with one hand, walked up to Li Hong, stretched out his slender jade fingers, poked someone's head and said, "Why are we here?" We weren't summoned by you yesterday? Otherwise, this dignified study room of Shangshu Province Shangshu Ling would not be a place where women like us can come. ”

"You...... Stop, don't poke, your head is already very mushy, you are poking it, the paste in your brain can be poured out and used to paste window flowers directly on the first day. Li Hong tilted his head to avoid the fingers of the princess of Xincheng, and then casually cleaned up the things in front of the desk.

This move made Concubine Xiao Shu pout: "Yo, hurry up and cover up your military affairs, lest we see it and leak your secrets, we can't afford this responsibility." ”

"Mother, don't make trouble with you......."

"Who did the little bunny say was making trouble?" Xincheng is gone, and the hand he just put down is going to poke Li Hong's head again.

"Stop." Li Hong was powerless in the face of the attack of the two elders and beauties, so he had to raise his hands and surrender: "I really have something to look for you, and it's a good thing, but I have to ask you first, have you brought enough silver?" ”

Xincheng pouted, who do you look down on, I haven't had anything else in Xincheng these years, but there is money!

But Concubine Xiao Shufei shook her head, the light and breezy appearance cultivated by eating fasting and chanting Buddha for many years has long regarded money as dung, but she can't stand someone sending money to the house, right?

Last year, Li Zhi extorted nearly 20 million taels of silver from Li Hong, a full 5 million taels, and after Li Zhi didn't know how to use it, he threw it to Concubine Xiao Shu, so now Concubine Xiao Shufei is definitely a rich woman level figure in Chang'an City.

When it comes to wealth, it is not much worse than the three famous rich women in Chang'an, Xincheng, Lanling, and Chengyang.

"Okay, if you have money, you can do it." Li Hong got up, ran out sideways from the two women's attack, and then said, "Take your money and give it to your nephew into the palace, my nephew has something good to tell you." ”

"What the hell are you doing? What do you want to do? Xincheng looked puzzled, instinctively thinking that Li Hong was going to do something inconvenient for himself, and planned to let himself work for him.

"Hehe, you'll find out in a moment." Li Hong sold a pass, and then instructed Mangzhong to bring the antique wooden box with the fragrance of agarwood, and stretched out his hand to invite Xincheng and Concubine Xiao Shu to go to the palace.

Along the way, Li Hong naturally needed to understand from Xincheng that the application of the Tang Mansion soldiers for the winter was as strict as in previous years.

Since cotton was introduced by Li Hong when he was a child, the military uniforms, tents, etc., including all items for daily use, were purchased by the Ministry of War from the three princesses of Xincheng, Lanling, and Chengyang.

Therefore, coupled with other transactions of the year, the three princesses are now the royal relatives who don't treat money as money the most, and from time to time, they will sponsor Li Zhi and Wu Mei.

The three of them walked slowly in the Daming Palace, and when they walked to the Xuanzheng Palace, they were stopped by Hua Jiqi, who was standing not far away: "The slave maid has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiao Shufei, and His Royal Highness the Princess of Xincheng, Your Majesty has an order, and you cannot lead His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the harem without His Majesty's will." ”

After finishing speaking, the expression on Hua Ji's face became flattering and bitter because of Li Hong's round eyes.

But what made Hua Ji feel reassured was that this time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not kick him, but after turning from anger to sneering, he asked lightly: "Where is my father?" Did someone bypass the court and go directly to the palace to find his father? Otherwise, why didn't I enter this harem? ”

"Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty and the Queen are in the Xuanzheng Palace, not ...... Belch....... Hua Ji hurriedly stopped his mouth, no wonder His Highness didn't kick him, this made him involuntarily relax his vigilance, and told the truth without paying attention.

"Okay, let's not go into the harem, let's talk, who is looking for the emperor in the Xuanzheng Palace?" Li Hong hugged Hua Ji's shoulders, but Hua Ji's legs were nervous and weak.

But fortunately, His Royal Highness the Tang Prince, who couldn't stand the dignified Tang Dynasty from the side, Xincheng, who was holding the shoulders of the eunuchs in the palace, raised his foot and kicked Li Hong's buttocks, which helped Hua Ji resolve the embarrassment and tension.

"The slave didn't dare to say it." Hua Ji hurriedly bowed, took the opportunity to dodge Li Hong's arm, and said respectfully.

Li Hong smiled, then ignored the nervous Hua Ji, and continued to lead Xincheng and Concubine Xiao Shu to the hall of the Xuanzheng Palace.

This is the place where he just went to court today, and before the courtiers went to court, it was as if they had heard that some people had quietly rushed to the palace and asked to see His Majesty.

Ignoring Hua Ji's obstruction, Li Hong generously took the wooden box from Mangzhong's hand, personally carried it in his hand, and walked to the palace.

As soon as I stepped into the door, I saw several gray-haired old men in their sixties or even seventies, all of whom were talking to their father with sad faces.

"Son-in-law, see father." Li Hong's voice interrupted the words of the old men, and the startled old men trembled, and hurriedly closed their mouths and looked at Li Hong.

"The Shu people Xiao and my sister Xincheng have seen Your Majesty." Xincheng and Xiao's family, after Li Hong saluted, followed closely behind to salute.

Li Zhi and Wu Mei saw Li Hong walking in with a wooden box, their brows involuntarily wrinkled together, and when they saw Concubine Xiao Shufei and Xincheng behind them, there was a puzzled look in their eyes, and they looked at each other, and they didn't know what kind of medicine Li Hong was selling in this gourd today.

After the salute, Li Hong put the wooden box on the table between Wu Mei and Li Zhi, and then turned around, looked at the six old men in front of him, let out a laugh, and looked at them back and forth.

"It's useless, I tell you, it's useless to find anyone, only I have the final say in this matter! No matter what conditions you put forward, there is no room for negotiation in this matter, so don't waste any more efforts and go back. Li Hong ignored the dragon father and dragon mother behind him, and began to become a little twitchy, and directly ordered the expulsion of the guest.

"Your Highness...... The ministers came to marry the royal family, and our five surnames were trapped by the ancestral training and could not marry the royal family, but now, after our consultation, ....... An old man trembled and bowed his hand to Li Hong, trembling with a gray beard and said.

"It's useless, it's useless to say it, it's impossible to have any conditions, your five surnames and seven hopes are high-ranking surnames, extremely noble, it doesn't matter if you don't want to marry the royal family, we don't ask you, you can marry whoever you like, don't you like to marry each other within your seven hopes? It doesn't matter, you just continue the internal marriage, don't let us tarnish your dignity, go back, don't ink, go away, Hua Ji will send off guests, they dare to come again in the future, and let Jin Wuwei beat them out. Li Hong waved his hand impatiently and blasted out the six old men like flies.

Li Zhi sat on the chair behind Li Hong, watching Li Hong resolutely blast out the head of the family surnamed Qiwang, knowing that as soon as Li Hong came, he didn't want to talk about anything, so he had to say with an expressionless face: "You guys go down, I need to think about this matter again and then discuss it." ”

"It's ......." Six old men, you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly there is no opinion.

Seeing His Majesty's attitude suddenly become ambiguous, and looking at His Royal Highness the Prince's resolute attitude, he can only retreat first and wait for the next time to seek His Majesty's forgiveness.

Looking at the six "question marks" hunched over their backs, with trembling steps, reluctantly, and leaving one by one, Li Hong said lightly: "This guy has actually learned roundabout tactics, I have lived in the barren mountains and mountains for nearly two months, and I came up with a wonderful trick, how can I let you break it so easily!" ”

Someone who turned around, looking at his dragon mother, had already opened the wooden box he brought, and was taking out delicate small squares to look at them, and said with words in his mouth: "10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 40,000...... And what are these? Ancient texts? Not like it? What is it used for? What did you do in the palace? Wu Mei raised her head and looked at Li Hong, who was flattering His Majesty, and asked.
