Just when Gao Lishi was a little confused again, the little insider outside the carriage whispered to the window, "His Royal Highness King Shou, Manager Gao, we are outside the palace, Deputy Commander Ge is waiting outside the car?" ”

"Oh! It's here so soon, let's get off! ”

"Your Highness, be careful, let the old slave help you get out of the car!"

Li Mao saw Gao Lishi's eyes, couldn't help but smile, and then let him help himself out of the carriage, Ge Qilang, who was waiting outside the car, was the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard in the Beiya Imperial City, and he rarely personally handled the palace gate, and even inspected the carriages and belongings of the people coming and going, but as far as Li Mao knew, these days were a little special.

First, the Shangyuan Festival is approaching the inland of Chang'an City, and no less than 100,000 Hu people have poured in, which has brought a lot of pressure to the defense of the imperial city.

Li Longji was furious, and in line with the principle of preferring to believe what he has and not what he has not, he reprimanded Chen Tiangang, the commander of Yulinwei, and explicitly ordered him to strengthen the security inside and outside the imperial city.

He saw Gao Lishi helping Li Mao to get out of the carriage, so he hurriedly handed over the Mo knife in his hand while cleaning up the army and handed it to the soldier next to him.

After the two of them landed, they stepped forward with an arrow and hugged their fists and made a big salute, "Humble duty, I have seen His Royal Highness King Shou, Mr. Gao, and please move to the palace gate to change the bridge, if there are any important items on the carriage that need to be carried into the palace city, please let the humble duty take a look first." ”

"Ge Laoqi, it turns out that you have been standing at the gate of this palace for the past few days? No wonder you are rarely seen in Xiuchunfang, how is it? When you take a break one day, let's make an appointment to get together, and the girls in the workshop can miss you very much. ”

Ge Qilang originally dared to come forward to greet Li Mao after being mentally prepared, but he would come to whatever he was afraid of? As soon as Li Mao's words came out, it was simply a seven-second break for Ge Lao, and he even stumbled when he stood there.

"This ...... Your Royal Highness King Shou, what kind of joke are you talking about, humble ...... I can't understand a word of my humble position! The lowly position has always been clean and self-conscious, since the marriage, but never set foot in those hook fence Washe half a step, Your Highness, how can you defile people's innocence out of thin air, the lowly duty is now in the body, please Your Highness be more considerate, drink and drink tea in the future, talk about it in the future, it's good to talk about it in the future......"

Although Ge Laoqi kept bowing his head and replying, his little face was always squeezing and throwing colors at Li Mao, and even the last sentence was biting his back molars and spitting out, and although Li Mao had already seen the code he played, it seemed that he was deliberately playing tricks on this guy, and he approached again without waiting for Ge Qilang to inspect the big wooden box, and then patted him on the shoulder and whispered.

"Ge Laoqi, on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the moonlight girl is going to perform the lyrics and songs newly filled in by this king, as for you, a guy who has never set foot in Xiuchunfang, if you don't want to come, then the seat reserved in advance will be handed over to others! , by the way, Brother Jiu, because he didn't get a seat because he went back to his hometown before, he has begged this king many times! It's inconvenient to give him in. ”

"Don't ...... Don't let it! Urging Jiu'er, that guy has a way to get a seat, we are not as good as him, on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the lowly position can still barely squeeze out some time, since His Royal Highness sincerely invites the lowly position, how can he refuse people thousands of miles away, dogskin hat, don't go too far, you are clearly deliberately trying to make me ugly in front of the people under you, isn't it? Don't forget, you still owe us ten times to spend money on wine? ”

Ge Qilang originally used an excuse to dodge Li Mao, but when he talked loudly about the program arrangement of the Shangyuan Festival, he still couldn't resist the temptation and hurriedly took advantage of the gap between the return of the wooden box to get to Li Mao's side, and then desperately lowered his voice and said what he just said.

Afterwards, he didn't forget to bow his hand to Gao Lishi, who was standing on the side, and Gao Lishi could only nod and smile to show his understanding after hearing the dirty things between these juniors.

After the two of them finished discussing these many small secrets that were not for outsiders to understand, Ge Qilang immediately put on a businesslike expression and asked Li Mao: "Your Highness, just now I saw a large bag of lime-like sand in the wooden box, I wonder what is the use of His Highness bringing it into the imperial city? Although these items are not prohibited, please tell the truth to Your Highness! ”

"Phew...... What kind of dirt I didn't know! , This is a dozen catties of cement that this king has barely researched with a lot of effort, understand? "Cement? What is it? ”

"Okay, you don't understand this matter after telling you about it anyway, you just need to know that he is the material used to build the house, count it as a small gift that this king brought to his father, and after a while, you will naturally understand the magic of this thing."

Although Ge Qilang said that he had already learned Li Mao's whimsical ideas on weekdays, he couldn't help but be in awe of His Royal Highness King Shou in front of him after hearing Li Mao's words at this moment.

"Then the lowly office will be registered according to the use of building materials as His Highness said, and this ...... Please ask Your Highness to let Brother Yu Linwei in the city carry this cement to the saint, right? ”

"Okay, okay, it's all as you say, hurry up, my father is still waiting to see this king? If the king is scolded for your delay, he will definitely settle accounts with you when he returns? ”

When Ge Qilang heard this, he hurriedly opened the palace door and took the lead in opening a roadblock for Li Mao, and before leaving, Li Mao suddenly hurriedly returned to the carriage as if he remembered something, took out a heavy package and threw it at Ge Qilang.

As soon as the thing fell into Ge Laoqi's hands, he laughed out loud in his heart, "Your Royal Highness King Shou, what do you mean by this?" This...... That's too polite, isn't it? ”

"Don't be beautiful for you, don't be beautiful first, it's not for you alone, this cold winter wax moon guards the brothers who guard the palace gate are very hard, Mr. Gao got the will of the saint and sent some scattered silver as the cost of everyone to drink hot wine to warm up, remember to distribute it one by one."

"Ahh Is it the grace of a saint? Humble thanks to the saint's body, and he will not give up his death...... "As soon as Ge Laoqi heard that it was Li Mao's father's will, where did he dare to smile and smile, he immediately took the lead in kneeling on the ground to thank him, and the other guards standing at the gate of the palace immediately knelt down in a large area.

Gao Lishi saw that Li Mao was so bold that he dared to falsely spread the holy word, so after looking at him for a while, he could only walk up to everyone with a frown and read out the false will, but before he could finish some façade words, he asked the guards to get up.

Li Mao spread his feet like a prisoner escaping from custody and sprinted 100 meters into the palace gate, and Gao Lishi couldn't help but scold his mother, and hurriedly lifted his long fur jacket and chased after him.

Although the guards present couldn't understand what trick the two were playing, they saw Gao Lishi and His Royal Highness King Shou walking away, so they hula and surrounded Ge Qilang again. "Head, do you say that these silver taels are really rewarded by the saints? What are ten taels of silver? If it were for wine money, how long would we brothers be able to drink! "His Royal Highness King Shou said yes! But our brothers have to have a number in their hearts to understand or not, usually those big festivals and small days, His Royal Highness King Shou, when did he leave you, if you want to say that this is generous, look at the entire Chang'an County, which is better than him Eighteen Lang? Haha, brothers, let's eat the natural ...... opened by His Highness at night."

After a laughing and commotion, the front of the Daming Palace slowly regained its calm, and the Gao Nei waiter who was chasing after us in front of us finally caught up with Li Mao, and at this moment the two of them were climbing the hundreds of steps in front of the palace one after the other.

"His Royal Highness King Shou, slow down, the old slaves can't keep up!" "Slow down, didn't you say that your father and his old man were going to slap the table and scold their mother?"

"This ...... Your Highness, you will think of this stubble, but why aren't you in a hurry when you are chatting and catching up on the old in front of you, go slowly, no matter how anxious you are, you will not be in a hurry at this moment, you must always be driven by the old slave to go in front of you! ”

Li Mao saw Gao Lishi say and put on a fast expression of resentful woman, and could only smile and wave his hand to signal him to go first, Daming Palace is located in the highest place in the entire Chang'an City, and the palace is scattered and high platforms, the majestic and solemn scenery is several times stronger than the Forbidden City in later generations, Li Mao almost every time he sees it, he has to sigh at the wisdom and courage of the ancient working people.

Because this is the Tang Dynasty, at the beginning of the peak of the Kaiyuan Dynasty in 725 AD, such a down-and-out young man in the 21st century was fortunate enough to witness it with his own eyes, how could he de! From the swaddling to the babbling, and then to the opening of the palace and the king, it has been thirteen years, and in the eyes of outsiders, his eighteenth prince Li Mao is simply a proud son of heaven born with a golden spoon, but who knows his hardships of walking on thin ice every day for more than ten years.

Sometimes a sneeze can scare you half to death, avoiding smallpox and malaria...... Even when he changed his name at the age of eight, and learned that he was the Shou prince Li Mao who was going to marry Yang Yuhuai as his wife, things became very simple.

So after figuring it out like this, Li Mao was relieved, the showdown Lao Tzu didn't pretend, Lao Tzu he aimed at a dignified traverser and could let people rob his wife again, aunt can bear it, uncle can't bear it, Li Longji, Li Longji, if you can be your Shengming monarch in peace, then we will follow the father's kindness and filial piety, but if Shang Ruo is still a ghost who cares about our little sister Yang Yuhuan, don't blame us for giving full play to the traditional arts of the old Li family, haha......
