Chapter 602 - Asking for an Insurance
This banquet was also very happy, the guests and hosts frequently raised their glasses, it was the first time that Li Shimin was so happy after Li Xiang came back, and he earned face in front of his daughter and grandson, and Li Shimin looked at Li Xiang a little more pleasing to the eye.
After using Wushan, Li Xiang and Princess Xiangcheng left the Jinluan Palace together.
"Auntie, stay here!"
Although Princess Xiangcheng had something to say to Li Xiang, this was also a place to talk in the palace, and she wanted to talk to Li Xiang tomorrow, but she didn't understand why Li Xiang brought it up first.
"Elephant has something to say?"
Princess Xiangcheng said with some puzzlement, but Li Xiang has a great favor to their family this time, if it weren't for Li Xiang speaking in front of the emperor, this four-grade official wouldn't know how to speak, it is far away, but it is also a place to earn credit.
"My nephew does have some words, what kind of errand my cousin went to the northwest this time, we all know very well, so my nephew wants to keep my cousin for half a day, and when the emperor's grandfather wakes up, my nephew wants to ask for a holy decree for my cousin."
There are a lot of eyeliner around here, but Li Xiang doesn't want to hide anything, everyone knows what kind of person Li You, the king of Qi, is, if Xiao Shougui wants to watch him, no holy decree is just nonsense, you are counting on reasoning with him, maybe it will be a horse whip in exchange.
Originally, Princess Xiangcheng was also worried about this, her son read a lot of sage books, but the actual operation was not too much, if she went to the northwest so rashly, she might suffer a loss, but she couldn't say it in that case just now, if she said it, it would be dissatisfaction with Li You, the king of Qi, but I didn't expect Li Xiang to say it.
Princess Xiangcheng didn't dare to offend Li You, the king of Qi, but Li Xiang didn't have such thoughts, there were few princes in the capital who had a good relationship with Li Xiang, and the rest of the people didn't have the so-called offense, as long as everyone could get by.
After Xiao Shougui listened to Li Xiang's words, he was also grateful in his heart, although he was the emperor's grandson, but the emperor's grandson was too much, and it was impossible for his own grandsons to take care of him, not to mention a nephew, so that he looked at his uncle, which was indeed a bit embarrassing.
"In that case, then let your cousin disturb your errands, and also let him go over to see your father, and I will hold a banquet at the house another day, and invite your father to the banquet."
The corners of Princess Xiangcheng's eyes were a little moist, although it was the first time she met this nephew, but she was thinking about her son, there were many nephews in the capital, but because of the loss of power of the Xiao family, these people had no contact.
"That's natural, aunt, please go first, and when the sun sets, I'll send someone to send my cousin back."
Li Xiang said very respectfully next to him, you must know that Li Xiang is now the third person in the Tang Dynasty, although Princess Xiangcheng is Li Xiang's elder, but she is no longer a close relative of the emperor, if Li Xiang does not salute, it is also reasonable, Datang pays attention to the national rites first and then the family rites.
Princess Xiangcheng agreed, and then instructed her son a few words, and it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who would meet him later, although he was also his own uncle, but there were more uncles in the capital, and uncles and uncles were still different.
"Thank you cousin for me, although the foolish brother is a few years older, whether it is officialdom or dealing with people, he is too much worse than my cousin, and I hope that my cousin will be able to teach me in the future."
On the way to the East Palace, Xiao Shougui also sincerely thanked him, Li Xiang has been observing for a long time, this cousin is also a capable person, but he has been away from the court for too long, so he doesn't know how to deal with some things.
"Cousin, what are you talking about, we are cousins, we have to support each other in the future, to put it bluntly in the northwest region, I also put my mind on it, King Qi went there, I was really afraid that he would mess up with me."
When he arrived at the gate of the East Palace, Li Xiang spoke a lot more casually, and he was not afraid of others hearing these words, which in itself was what Li Xiang thought in his heart, Li Shimin is a master of psychological warfare, if you don't let him hear some real words, he may have more ideas, and it will not be beautiful at that time.
The more the two cousins talked, the more energetic they became, and they still had something in common in many places, but they didn't know that they had arrived in the East Palace, and this was Qian Ping's reminder, and Li Xiang took him to his father's side.
The relationship between Li Chengqian and Princess Xiangcheng is okay, a few years ago, when Li Chengqian was messing around, Princess Xiangcheng also sent people back several letters, just to persuade them, but Li Chengqian at that time couldn't listen to anything, and when he saw Princess Xiangcheng's letters, he asked people to lose them.
But this kindness is still remembered, you must know that Li Chengqian was about to be abolished at that time, everyone knew this result, no one would waste time on him, Princess Xiangcheng can still remember this matter, this can be regarded as a sister-brother relationship, Li Chengqian has always wanted to repay, but there is no chance.
"Get up, we're all a family, don't make these false courtesies, I'm going to hold a banquet in the East Palace to invite your father another day, is his health okay?"
Looking at the eldest nephew Li Chengqian in front of him, he was also very happy, in the end, he was his blood relative, so he hurriedly asked people to give him a seat.
Listening to the two people in front of him, Li Xiang is not interested, leave the time to the two of you, Li Xiang went back to take a nap, and the two were still discussing in the study, seeing that the time should be about the same.
"Is the emperor waking up over there?"
Li Xiang stretched his waist, and Qian Ping was already waiting beside him.
"Long live Lord has already woken up, and I have something to say to the Prime Minister in the Qinzheng Hall at this time, but the Prime Minister has been in for a long time, so it should be about the same."
Qian Ping said in a low voice, no matter how powerful Li Xiang is now, staring at the emperor's schedule is an unreasonable thing, so he has to hide it a little.
Since Wang De's return to obedience, Li Shimin's work and rest time is not a matter, so when you want to do anything, you have to pick a free time, so if you are angry, you run over with your fart, isn't this looking for scolding?
Li Xiang asked someone to send a letter to Xiao Shougui, and then ended his conversation with Li Chengqian.
The two of them have already made an appointment, first go to Xiao's house for a banquet, and then go to the East Palace for a banquet.
Li Xiang slept well, and the two of them agreed on two meals, which can also see how idle the nobles of Chang'an City are, except for banqueting guests, there is nothing else.
