A group of pretty girls in red and green skirts came out of the East Market jokingly.

Holding the bright silk silk in his left hand and the bright red rouge he had just bought in his right hand, he rushed away from the side of the black carriage, leaving bursts of laughter like silver bells in the air.

Most of the eyes on the long street fell on the group of little ladies, and their faces were full of envy and doting.

"That's the little lady of the Wei family in Chang'an, the children of the Wei family have served as the subordinate orders of the East City several times, and the top and bottom of the East City have long been extremely respectful." Yu Ze sat in the carriage and explained in a low voice through the curtain of the carriage lifted by Li Xuan.

"Chengnan Weidu, go to the sky five feet. This king has heard this before. Li Xuan turned his head, smiled calmly, and then turned his head again, looking at the prosperous image in the East City opposite, and sighed in his heart.

Wei Jia Du family, East City West City.

Just two subordinate orders have already made their family a lot of money on the entire Silk Road.

Although the Du family was involved in the Li Chengqian conspiracy case in the early years, and Du Chuke was involved in the Li Tai conspiration case, which led to the decline of the family for a while, it was only for a while, and even it was just Du Ruhui's lineage.

Du Ruhui's uncle Du Yan is also the prime minister of the Taizong Dynasty, although he has long passed away, his grandson Du Congze, is now the assassin of Puzhou.

There is also the now famous Du Xianyan, although he is only the county lieutenant of Shuzhou, but his literary name is so prosperous that even the emperor is admired.

Du Yiyi, the father of Du Xunyan, once served as the superintendent of the imperial history, the Luoyang County Order, and the Luoyang County Commander on the five products.

is half a level more noble than Li Xuan's Wuzhou.

As for the Wei family, in the early years, there was Wei Guifei, one of the four concubines of Taizong, and Wei Ting, the prime minister; Now there is Lanzhou Thorn Shi Wei Si'an, Cao Wang Dianjun Wei Hongbiao, Wei Hong's cousin Wei Xuanzhen is now joining the army in Puzhou, and Wei Xuanzhen's daughter Wei Xianger is the British princess's concubine, which is Concubine Wei.

Li Xuan's heart flashed with a series of high-ranking Wei Du officials, but there was a burst of emotion in his heart.

Now that he has returned to Chang'an, he has to deal with these big families, Wei Du is just one or two of them, and there will be more in the future.

But first, the person he wants to touch is Pei Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Li Xuan looked at the scene of the shops and vendors in the East Market shouting loudly, the crowds of people, and the scene one after another, and read softly: "Buy fat powder in the East Market, and the noodles are fragrant." The head is full of clouds, and the moon is bright behind the ears. Spring and autumn are many good days, and relatives are reunited. Hands are holding palm beads, and hundreds of mouths are praised. ”

……

"But did the prince remember that His Majesty ordered the prince to stay at home for the past few days?"

"Chang'an is stormy, and the New Year is the most prosperous." Li Xuan turned his head sideways, looked in the direction of Taiji Palace from the curtain on the other side, and said softly: "Your Majesty's order seems to be an assassination for Wushengdao, but this king feels that it is very likely to be related to Pei Shangshu." ”

Yu Ze's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, are you worried that someone is calculating the prince these days, and the prince will suffer?" ”

"Why should there be anyone, Uncle Yu said that Pei Yan is." Li Xuan smiled lightly, shook his head and said: "Pei Shangshu has been in the sea for a long time, and where can this king be easily shaken, the real threat to him is actually other people with hearts."

After all, it's not just us who are really staring at the position of the prime minister, there are more real people in the court than we imagined, Your Majesty is worried that someone will borrow a knife to kill people! ”

Yu Ze was silent for a moment, there are too many people playing chess in Chang'an, and many times, you don't even know which hand is moving.

Even in many cases, it is many hands pushing and pulling at the same time, and in the process, some people are pushed to the top of the platform, and some people fall into the abyss.

In this case, it is better to stay at home and not go out, so that you can still settle quietly.

When the carriage entered the Kaihua Workshop, Li Xuan subconsciously flicked the curtain and saw that red lanterns had been lit in front of every house, but only four were very different, Han Wangfu, Huo Wangfu, Jiang Wangfu, and Peng Wangfu.

Before the carriage stopped, Li Xuan had already turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to the door of King Peng's mansion, and directly flicked the hem of his clothes to the mother concubine Ouyang who was waiting at the door, and knelt down: "Da Lang is not filial, so the mother concubine will wait for a long time." ”

"Okay, get up, it's all in your own house, what's the long wait." Ouyang directly pulled Li Xuan up, and then pushed him in front of Liu Jinyu, and said with a doting smile: "Since you are back, then it is good to accompany Sanniang, three and a half months of body, just when you are sad, you also know medical skills, help her recuperate." ”

"My son obeys." Li Xuan bowed and nodded, then turned to look at Liu Jinyu beside him, and called in a low voice: "Sanniang!" ”

I haven't seen her for three months, Liu Jinyu has plumped up a lot, her eyebrows and eyes are still clear, but there is also a little more pregnancy in her demeanor.

A wide green background gold silk small flower skirt, with a slightly bulging lower abdomen, is well covered.

Li Xuan's eyes were eagerly staring at Liu Jinyu's lower abdomen, where there was a small life, as if it was constantly making the sound of its heart beating, and every time it hooked Li Xuan's own heartbeat, followed by a beat.

"Lang Jun." Liu Jinyu pulled Li Xuan a little shyly, Li Xuan immediately came back to her senses, and then arched her hand at the Ouyang clan and said, "Mother, let's go in." ”

"Hmm!"

……

By the pool in the backyard, a small stove is lit between the flower pavilions.

The cold wind was covered with a curtain on all sides, leaving only a frozen lake in front of him.

There is a thin tripod on a small table, the hot oil in the tripod is hot, inside is a perch that has been sliced into thin slices, the fish meat and fish bones are constantly tumbling in the tripod, and the pieces of green vegetables are thrown into the tripod as a whole.

The plate next to it with various mushrooms is empty.

Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan with some curiosity and asked, "This is the hot pot made by Lang Jun, which is a little different from the usual five-cooked kettle." ”

The five-cooked kettle is somewhat similar to the mandarin duck pot in later generations, but it is divided into five compartments.

Pottery pots, pottery pots, plates, bowls, bowls, etc. are used for cooking rice, and they have been used since ancient times.

Special hot pot to cook meat and vegetables, is the popular style among the nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period, and later more copper tripods are used.

Shabu, boiled to the Western Han Dynasty has been popular all over the world.

During the Three Kingdoms, the folk had a "five-cooked kettle" with five grids, and five flavors could be adjusted at the same time in the five grids, which was convenient for people to eat.

Li Xuan actually wants to use the iron pot the most, but today's iron pot making art is still insufficient, but the tripod is carefully carved.

"For the husband, the base soup made of Codonopsis, dodder seeds, astragalus, Chuanxiong, tangerine peel, ejiao, sand kernels, licorice, plus fatty sea bass, can just help the lady to nourish the fetus and replenish qi." Li Xuan carefully adjusted the heat, and when it was almost there, she put a bowl of Chinese medicine fish soup in it, put it in front of Liu Jinyu, blew it slightly, and then said: "Lady drink a bowl of soup first to warm up your body." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Jinyu wrapped herself in a thick mink coat, picked up the bowl and took a sip, and then picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and carefully put it in her mouth.

"How does it taste?" Li Xuan looked at Liu Jinyu with some expectation.

Liu Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a low voice, "Why is it a little sour?" ”

"Put some vinegar." Li Xuan diverted the topic and asked in a low voice, "How is the fish?" ”

"There are no thorns, the meat is very badly cooked, very soft and glutinous." Liu Jinyu couldn't help but clinch another chopstick, and Li Xuan looked at it and laughed.

It didn't take long for a fish to be eaten cleanly, and even the fish soup was drunk.

Liu Jinyu lay a little lazily in Li Xuan's arms, and then said in a low voice: "Lang Jun can stay in Chang'an for a longer time this time." ”

Li Xuan stretched out her hand to hold Liu Jinyu's white and tender fingers, and said softly: "Before the end of March, it should still be in Chang'an, and after April, I don't know what Your Majesty's arrangements are, and I can't figure it out for my husband, how can Shaoqing of Honglu Temple intervene in the battle of Tubo?" ”

The emperor transferred Li Xuan back to Chang'an to serve as the secretary of the Honglu Temple, in the final analysis, it was for the battle of Tubo next year, but he introduced the Honglu Temple, did he want him to negotiate with the Tubo after the war how to make the Tubo surrender?

"The Ministry of War has been very busy in the past few months, and the specific strategy is only sent to the palace, and it is difficult for outsiders to know at all." Liu Jinyu said softly: "Although the concubine has been helping Ah Weng deal with official documents in the past few months, it is mostly a matter of some local states and counties, and the center is less and less related. ”

"This is Ah Weng being considerate of you." Li Xuan nodded slightly at Liu Jinyu, Liu Jinyu sighed and nodded.

She was helping her grandfather Liu Renliang deal with some official documents, if the emperor and empress couldn't notice it at all, it was impossible, it was just that they understood Liu Renliang's old age, so they asked her to help share a little pressure.

But now, Liu Jinyu has become the princess of Nanchang and continues to help deal with some middle-level official documents, which is no problem, but the central secret documents, especially those related to Li Xuan, have less and less contact with her.

Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu knew these words in their hearts, even if it was only him, it was better not to say it.

At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded at the door of the backyard, and soon, an invitation was delivered to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan opened the invitation and said with some surprise: "The king of England invites her husband to a banquet tonight, to wash the dust for her husband." ”

Liu Jinyu said softly: "Is Lang Jun going back?" ”

"Of course." Li Xuan smiled, handed the invitation back, and said at the same time: "Tell the person who came, send a message to His Royal Highness the King of England, this king is unwell, so he will not go to the appointment for the time being, and ask him to go to the East Palace more often if he is free, and visit the prince." ”

"Whoa!" The footsteps quickly faded away.

Liu Jinyu couldn't help but smile: "Lang Jun is not afraid that the King of England will not understand at all?" ”

"Li Xian is not confused, how can he not understand, how can he not even visit the prince for his husband, how can he go to see him?"

"Is it so urgent now?" Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan worriedly.

The actions between Li Xuan and Pei Yan, how could she not see it, it was precisely because of Liu Renliang in the center that Pei Yan had to scruple even if he wanted to do anything, so he could only use secret means.

However, Li Xuanyuan is in Hangzhou, and Pei Yan's people don't have much chance when they arrive in Hangzhou, especially now that his people are dead in Huayin County, which is not far from Chang'an.

Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and said: "Originally, the situation was clear, but the intervention of the King of the East China Sea made everything mess up, and now it should be Pei Yan who is really anxious, not only was his subordinates killed, but even the heavy responsibility of capturing the King of the East China Sea fell on him most of the time." ”

Arresting the King of the East China Sea was originally the common responsibility of all parties, but the Criminal Department is dead now, Pei Yan must catch the King of the East China Sea harder than others, but if the King of the East China Sea is really so easy to catch, then he is not the King of the East China Sea.

"Lang Jun, why did you say that the king of the East China Sea is stirring up trouble now?" Liu Jinyu looked up at Li Xuan, her face full of puzzlement.

Li Xuan sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "Some people are very smart and can always focus on the most useful places......
