Chapter 507: Congratulatory Gift
Although Li Yong really wants to hide cleanly, but it is impossible to hide, if you want to say that the hottest person in Chang'an City, it is of course Li Yong, Li Yong is undoubtedly Li Yong, Li Yong finally understands why Sun Simiao's medicinal wine is so popular, and he is drunk with money and drunk! If it weren't for his strong kidneys, I'm afraid he would have been hollowed out by the wine, and he really didn't blame him, but it was the beauties in the green building who saw him with their eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to eat him alive, the sensation caused by Li Yongjin's sealing of the county prince finally subsided slowly, during this time, he didn't go to banquets in Chang'an, and the princesses, princesses, and princes' mansions of various countries almost walked around, why almost? Because there was no movement in Chen Guogong's mansion, no congratulatory gifts were sent, and the people in Chen Guogong's mansion did not have any movement with Li Yong, as if they didn't know about Li Yong's promotion to the county duke, and the crown prince Li Chengqian sent a congratulatory gift to Li Jiazhuang, but it was not given to Li Yong, but to Princess Changle, this congratulatory gift was obviously sent on the face of Princess Changle, not on Li Yong's face, the meaning is self-evident, unlike Li Chengqian, Li Tai came to Li Yong to drink several meals, If it weren't for Li Yong is brother-in-law, it is estimated that he would have sent several beauties a long time ago, not to mention his thoughts, Li Yong could guess with his ass, the first snow in early winter was earlier than in previous years, although it was not yet the cold winter of Sanjiu, but it was already cold and windy, under the strong organization of the imperial court, the cotton that had been bounced was finally sold, Chang'an was a sensation, if there was no reward last year, Bai Diehua would not be so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but last year's reward of Li Yong was too sensational, and everyone in Chang'an knew about it, so, When the white stacked flowers of the imperial court began to sell, the whole street was crowded, to be honest, Li Er actually did not want to sell these white stacked flowers, and wanted to use these white stacked flowers as a military use, although the winter in Chang'an was very cold, but compared with Liaodong, it was far worse, but he also knew that it was useless to say a thousand ways and ten thousand, only by letting the people buy white stacked flowers, and truly experience the role of white stacked flowers to keep warm, word of mouth, in order to make the reputation of white stacked flowers completely fermented, and the officials in the court and the central government are also staring at it! Therefore, Li Er was reluctant to leave all the white stacked flowers, some of the white stacked flowers were used to reward the soldiers in the army, a small part of the white stacked flowers were used to reward the courtiers, and the other part of the white stacked flowers began to be sold, and there was an endless queue in front of dozens of royal shops in Chang'an City.
"What? Want to buy 20 catties of white stacked flowers? ”
"I'm sorry, the sage has a purpose, the white stacked flowers are limited, they are sold in limited quantities, a person can only buy three catties at most, if you want to buy more, wait for next year! You can buy as much as you want next year! ”
The people in line want to buy more, but they didn't expect it to be limited, and they can't buy it if they have money, which is very helpless, but Li Er and the ministers of the court are also very helpless, in order to let more people buy white stacked flowers, so that more people can realize the warmth of white stacked flowers, they can only be sold in limited quantities, and the price is very cheap, three catties of white stacked flowers are only sold for ten cents, the court does not want to use white stacked flowers to make money at all, just want to promote white stacked flowers, so the white stacked flowers are sold very cheaply, at the same time, I just want to tell the people of the world that white stacked flowers are a very cheap and warm clothing, and it is too simple to fill them into clothes to make cotton jackets. So I don't know how many padded jackets appeared in Chang'an City all of a sudden, and when people put padded jackets on their bodies, they were all shocked, it was really warm! It's so warm! It's soft and warm! No wonder last year, Rongfu County offered a heavy reward for the seeds of white stacked flowers, and the white stacked flowers were promoted, and the effect of white stacked flowers to keep warm was really extraordinary! And the emperor also sent a large army to Gaochang to collect the seeds of white stacked flowers, now they feel that this is too worthwhile, just one day, the warmth of white stacked flowers has already caused a sensation in Chang'an, although I have heard a lot of rumors before, I know that the warm effect of white stacked flowers is very extraordinary, but after all, I just heard about it, and now, they have tried it in person, it is really warm! It's just a pity that there are too few white stacked flowers, if there are a lot of white stacked flowers, make cotton jackets, cotton pants, and even quilts, then do you still need to be afraid of the cold of winter? This year, 10,000 acres of white stacked flowers were planted, so how many seeds do you have to accumulate? How many acres can be planted next year? There must be a lot of white stacked flowers next year, that is to say, next year you don't have to be afraid of not being able to buy white stacked flowers, next year you don't have to worry about the cold, after the first day of sale, the queue in front of the royal shop is longer, people who did not buy white stacked flowers, feel very regretful, the whole Chang'an is hotly discussing how warm the cotton jacket is, if anyone buys the white stacked flowers made of cotton jackets, that is a thing with a lot of face, if anyone in the market buys a white stacked flowers made of cotton jackets, then the neighbors and friends will come to try it on, In this cold winter, as long as you put on a padded jacket and never want to take it off, I don't know how many people have made up their minds, next year must buy white flowers, to buy more white flowers, with white flowers in winter, there is no need to be afraid of freezing, this winter, is the last winter of freezing, for the sensation caused by white flowers in Chang'an City, both the emperor and a group of courtiers are not surprised at all, because they have already experienced the warmth of white flowers, that is really warm, cheap and warm, just a few days, The white stacked flowers were sold out, all the shops that sold the white stacked flowers were all sold out, and the guys in the store were relieved, they felt like they were going crazy these days, they were crazy, they were also well-informed in Chang'an City, but who had experienced such a big battle? Seeing that the white stacked flowers are so sought after, many outsiders also line up the white stacked flowers, the court does not care about this, but is happy to see the second, after all, the white stacked flowers are not only promoted in Chang'an City, the imperial court wants to promote the white stacked flowers to the entire Tang Dynasty, people in other places bought the white stacked flowers, and the white stacked flowers were made into cotton jackets and brought back, then the reputation of the white stacked flowers will naturally spread, if there are the most cotton jackets among the people, there is no doubt that it is Xishan, Huating County and Lijiazhuang, Because these places are Li Yong's fiefdoms, naturally planted a piece of white stacked flowers, and the emperor also rewarded a lot of white stacked flowers to Li Yong, the birthday of the eldest grandson queen is coming in this piece of jubilation and noise, in previous years, the birthday of the eldest grandson queen was definitely a sensation in Chang'an, however, this year did not cause any commotion in Chang'an City at all, this winter, nothing happened, no one can overshadow the limelight of the white stacked flowers, but for the hundred officials in the court and the emperor's relatives, the queen's birthday is the most important thing, After all, there is no white stacked flowers, and everyone still has fur fur! Every year when it comes to the queen's birthday, the congratulatory gift can be described as a competition, even more luxurious and exaggerated than the emperor's birthday, after all, the emperor is very spoiled by the queen's mother, if it is on the queen's birthday, the queen and the emperor will be very happy, more cost-effective than the emperor's birthday gift, when the prince Li Chengqian's gift was carried into the manna hall, the whole hall was quiet, a rare red coral tree, six feet high, and even more rare is the color is very pure and moist, And the shape is very beautiful, a well-deserved treasure, and all the other congratulatory gifts are compared to the brilliance of all other congratulatory gifts at once, the eldest grandson queen sighed.
"Such a heavy treasure is too rare, this palace knows that it is smart and pure filial piety, and it is very happy to receive such a congratulatory gift, but how much effort did it take to collect such a heavy treasure!"
For this mother's birthday ceremony, Li Chengqian also fought hard, sure enough, this coral tree shined, and compared all the other congratulatory gifts, this coral tree was not found by Li Chengqian alone, but only found it with all the power of the East Palace, among which Hou Junji made a great effort, although it took a lot of effort, but now Li Chengqian feels that it is worth it together, Li Chengqian smiled.
"In order to show filial piety, Erchen is also looking for treasures, but this red coral appeared at this time, and happened to be found by Erchen, it can be seen that this red coral is to celebrate the birth of the queen mother!"
This color is good, Li Er was very happy when he heard it, and nodded with a smile.
"That's right, this red coral is really for the queen to celebrate her birthday, and it's even more rare to be a smart filial piety, what does the queen think?"
Empress Eldest Sun nodded with a smile.
"The concubine is also very pleased, but this red coral is too precious, and the congratulatory gifts are gorgeous, so extravagance makes the concubine a little uneasy!"
Li Er said with a smile.
"The queen's birthday, luxury should also be deserved, the congratulatory gift is very precious, in fact, I am very curious about Li Yong's congratulatory gift, Li Yong, this kid is eccentric, I don't know what his congratulatory gift is?"
Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.
"The saint is still a boy, and the boy is shouting, he is the county prince!"
Li Er said with a smile.
"What's wrong with the county lord? Even if he is promoted to the title of Guogong, he is still a junior, but he is not a kid! ”
Although Li Yongjin has been crowned the prince of the county, his status has really not changed at all! Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.
"The concubine is really looking forward to Li Yong's congratulatory gift!"
Not only the eldest grandson queen is looking forward to it, but also the courtiers are looking forward to it, because Li Yong can always be ingenious, but it is more expected, but the most anticipated are Li Er and Li Tai, the reason why Li Er is so looking forward to it is because he once dialed Li Yong, I want to know what poem Li Yong wrote, Li Tai is looking forward to Li Yong's congratulatory gift, because his congratulatory gift was compared to Li Chengqian's congratulatory gift, he is very unwilling, he himself has no choice, he can only hope for Li Yong, hope that Li Yong's congratulatory gift is very brilliant, Compared with Li Chengqian's limelight, Li Yong's winning the jackpot is much better than Li Chengqian's winning the jackpot, although Li Chengqian still has a smile on his face, but there is a hint of helplessness and unwillingness in his smile. His red coral is already a rare treasure in the world, what other congratulatory gifts can Li Yong look forward to? Since the queen mother and father have seen this red coral, do they still need to look forward to Li Yong's congratulatory gift? Li Yong hasn't done anything yet, why is he expected by so many people? Why is it so showy? However, Li Chengqian was still very calm in his heart, because he didn't believe that Li Yong's congratulatory gift could compare to his congratulatory gift, Li Erxiao asked.
"Li Yong, what is your congratulatory gift?"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"The minister has no long things, and there is no heavy treasure to dedicate to the queen's mother, the minister is a little famous, and he is also good at poetry and books, it just so happens that Changle is good at painting, and the minister and Changle are not as good as doing it themselves, Changle painting, the minister's inscription poem, although it is not precious, but it is the mind of the minister and Changle, and please don't dislike the queen!"
Li Er couldn't help but nod with relief when he heard it, Li Yong really got the hang of it, and lived up to his point, and it was painted by Changle Li Yong mentioned the poem, it was perfect, I just didn't know what poem Li Yong mentioned, Li Er looked at the queen sideways, but found that the queen's small mouth was slightly open and her face was sluggish, the eldest grandson queen was indeed stunned, and she was surprised to be stunned, she told Changle at the time that she wanted Li Yong to write a poem for her, not a joke, but really wanted to let Li Yong write a poem for her, but I didn't expect Li Yong to really write a poem for her, And it is also Changle painting, Li Yong mentions poetry, as her birthday gift, this is so meaningful, she is the queen, I don't know how many treasures are treasured in the palace, she has seen and doesn't know how many treasures, no matter how precious the treasures are, it is actually difficult to stir up waves in her heart, but Li Yong's poems are different, that is really rare, Li Yong's poems, coupled with Li Yong's words and Changle's paintings, it is even more rare, the original eldest grandson queen was very much looking forward to Li Yong's congratulatory gift, and now she is looking forward to it, what poem did Li Yong write to her? The ministers in the hall were also stunned, they didn't expect Li Yong to write a poem to the queen as a birthday gift, this is too rare, everyone knows that Li Yong easily does not write poems, and the poems written by Li Yong are all heirlooms, they think, maybe the most limelight today is likely to be Li Yong, this red coral is of course valuable, but Li Yong's poems can be spread all over the world, passed on to future generations, a few years later, who still knows the prince's coral tree? But no matter how many years have passed, people know that they will remember that Li Yong wrote a poem to the queen's mother as the queen's birthday gift, except for Cheng Yanjin, a military general who does not understand literature and ink, the other ministers are all looking forward to it, if it is someone else's poetry, it may not be worth looking forward to, but Li Yong's poetry is worth looking forward to, Li Chengqian was also stunned when he heard Li Yong's poetry and Changle painting, although Changle's painting skills are good, but it is not a treasure, but Li Yong's poetry book is definitely a treasure, and he secretly said in his heart that it is not good, Isn't it easy for Li Yong not to write poetry? Didn't you say you don't like to write poetry? Why did you suddenly write poems to the queen mother this time? He can only hope now that the poems written by Li Yong this time are not very good, so that his coral tree can outperform Li Yong's poems, Empress Changsun asked expectantly.
"Li Yong, what poems have you written?"
