Excluding the eldest prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince, then the rest are the second prince, the fourth prince, and the sixth prince.

Among these three princes, one of them was the Seventh Prince's willingness to fight hard for him.

Moreover, who is the person who injured the Seven Princes?

"Could it be a prince too?"

Tao Zhu pursed his lips and said.

"Or is it the prince?" Li Qiao is also speculating.

Ordinary nobles, dare to attack the Seven Princes?

As for the prince, Sheng Hong has three brothers, all of whom have been crowned kings by the Emperor Taishang, but these three princes are far away from the court and are all rich and idlers.

In order to prevent his brothers from falling apart, the Emperor Taishang established Sheng Hong's position as the crown prince early on, and put an end to the thoughts of the other three sons.

In addition, the ability of these three sons is mediocre, so when Sheng Hong ascends the throne, he simply does not let them hold positions in the court, and they can only enjoy their happiness with peace of mind.

Away from the court for many years, will these three princes side with a certain prince and attack the seventh prince?

Tao Zhu: "......"

He couldn't guess.

After thinking about it, he said, "Didn't you promise the four princes to drink wine in the Taiji Hall before?" If the Fourth Prince sends someone to deliver a post, then you can observe while you are drinking. ”

"That's all there is to it."

Li Qiao let out a long breath.

He listened to the words of the Seventh Prince, and would not take the initiative to meet the Four Princes, but if the Four Princes invited him to drink, then he would definitely have to agree.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the fourth prince really sent someone to send a post and invited Li Qiao to go to Baiweilou to drink.

Li Qiao happily went, but because he was not familiar with the four princes, the conversation during the banquet was about some very safe hot topics.

Moreover, this wine can be called Li Qiao's boastful feast.

The fourth prince felt that Li Qiao was very powerful, not only did the business do well, but also drove the development of the entire Hexi Mansion.

The four princes praised Li Qiao as a rare genius in a century.

There is also the Grand Canal, which is about to be renovated.

The four princes praised Li Qiao for choosing Weiqing County without hesitation, and praised him for returning to the right and guarding the hill, don't forget to be in Ju.

The fourth prince knew that Li Qiao wanted to buy land in Shengjing but couldn't buy it, but in this case, Li Qiao directly gave up the Tongzhou wharf.

It was so surprising to him.

You must know that the Tongzhou Wharf is seventy miles away from Shengjing, although it is said that the land has long belonged, but as long as Li Qiao chooses the Tongzhou Wharf, not only the wharf is Li Qiao's, but Li Qiao can also buy a lot of fields nearby.

But Li Qiao didn't.

Li Qiao still chose Weiqing County without hesitation.

After Weiqing County repaired the wharf, it was indeed able to bring more merchants to Pingcheng, but because it was necessary to keep the vermicelli recipe, the annual production of vermicelli in Hexi Prefecture was limited.

Vermicelli is limited, so no matter how many merchants go, the benefits brought to Li Qiao are also limited.

Weiqing County has a wharf, and the real benefit is the people of Weiqing County.

It is really admirable that Li Qiao gave up such a big opportunity.

Therefore, today's wine is basically Li Qiao's boasting feast, and the four princes praised Li Qiao again and again.

When Li Qiao returned home, before going to bed at night, Tao Zhu asked him what happened at noon, and Li Qiao only gave one sentence to this: "The fourth prince is a good person, I didn't find any traces of pretending." ”

Although the four princes have been praising him during the banquet, he also followed the words of the four princes and talked about the dock of the four princes.

This time, the four princes also won a new wharf of the Grand Canal, located in Jibei Province, compared to the rich Jiangnan, the economic level of Jibei Province is really average.

In fact, Jibei Province is adjacent to Shengjing, Shengjing is such a big place, out of Shengjing is Jibei Province, it stands to reason that the economic level of Jibei Province should not be similar to Yuanhe Province.

But in fact, the annual tax revenue and population of Jibei Province are not much different from those of Yuanhe Province.

In this regard, the four princes are very sad, it shouldn't be like this.

Those remote provinces, because they are far away, the imperial court is beyond the reach of the whip, and they want to make the people rich and rely on officials to govern.

But Jibei Province is under Shengjing's eyelids, and if you want to pull Jibei Province, isn't it easy?

Jibei Province is not wealthy, and he feels that every royal person is responsible.

This time, he took a wharf in Jibei Province, and he planned to use this wharf to first pull the economy of the place where the wharf was located, just like Li Qian pulled Hexi Mansion.

But because he didn't have Li Qiao's talent in eating, he was in difficulty.

However, building the canal did not happen overnight, and it would take five or six years to say the least, which was enough time for him to make a detailed plan.

In short, he is now ambitious and ready to do a big job.

After listening to Li Qiao's words, Tao Zhu was very surprised: "The four princes' personalities are actually somewhat similar to the saints. ”

"Yes."

I don't know if I don't touch it, and when I do, I'm really scared.

The four princes actually care about the people and put the people's living standards in their hearts, which is quite like Sheng Hong.

Of course, also like the Seven Princes.

Such four princes have the same three views as the seven princes and have common ideals, so there must be common topics.

So, is the Seventh Prince assisting the Fourth Prince?

We'll have to watch again.

Soon it was the Lantern Festival, and the Lantern Festival in Dasheng belonged to the small year, and the liveliness was second only to the New Year, so Li Qiao was still on holiday during the Lantern Festival.

The Lantern Festival is the Lantern Festival, and at night, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu took the two little cubs and Li Xiaorui out to see the lanterns.

As for Zheng Qianqian, he is an adult, who still watches lanterns, he would rather stay at home and play cards.

As for whether it's romantic or not, tsk, and Li Dashan are both old husbands and wives, so they won't play that set, and if they are in that mood, they might as well run to bed to play.

Li Xiaorui is two and a half years old and can have another one.

Li Xia and Zhao Shen and Li Qiao Taozhu went to see the lanterns, on the one hand, they had to take care of the little cubs, and on the other hand, Li Xia liked it.

He and Zhao Shen are still in love, they just got married this year, and when the little husband encounters such a lively festival, of course he wants to go out to play.

Watching lanterns, watching others lion dance, stepping on stilts, etc., there is no such excitement on weekdays.

While looking at the lanterns, Li Qiao Taozhu met acquaintances: Meng Yue and the Seven Princes.

The two were eating rice balls in a roadside shop, and there were several animal-shaped lanterns on the table, including little yellow ducks, little tigers, and little rabbits, all of which were very cute.

It was Li Xiaorui who stayed in Li Qiao's arms and first discovered those cute lanterns, and then looked, hey, it's an acquaintance.

So he immediately called Grandpa Meng.

This shout attracted Li Qiao's attention, and when he looked at it, he wanted to disappear in place.

How embarrassing!

The Seventh Prince and Meng Yue definitely didn't want to see him and Tao Zhu.

Moreover, what did Meng Yue buy these lanterns for?

In the eyes of outsiders, the Seventh Prince is a man, and Meng Yue herself is also a strong man, and now there are such cute lanterns around the two of them, this is too mismatched, and it is easy to arouse suspicion.

Just when Li Qiao was hesitant to step forward to remind Meng Yue, Li Xiaorui shouted Grandpa Meng loudly again, which attracted Meng Yue's attention.

Meng Yue immediately beckoned: "Xiao Rui! ”

Li Qiao: "......"

Now I can only step forward to say hello.

Because it was outside, the Seven Princes didn't let Li Qiao and the others salute.

This was the first time the Seventh Prince saw Li Xiaorui and the two cubs, and he directly picked up the lantern on the table and handed it to Li Xiaorui and the two cubs.

"Meng Yue bought it for his nephews and nieces, you can take it to play first."

He just glanced at these lanterns a few more times, and Meng Yue, a big fool, had to buy them, and made up a reason: to buy them for his little nephew and niece who was far away in Pingcheng.

But he knew that when he got to a place where there was no one, Meng Yue would definitely stuff these lanterns for him to take home.

He didn't bring it.

He shouldn't have that kind of thing around him.

However, Meng Yue, a big fool, has been treating him more and more strangely recently, as if he was coaxing a girl and a little brother.

Did this big fool find something?

After listening to the words of the Seventh Prince, Li Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Meng Yue was still cautious.

He smiled and said a few words to the Seventh Prince and Meng Yue, and then left with Tao Zhu and the others.

They are a group of light bulbs, so they don't bother people to date.

After strolling around for an hour, the group returned happy.

Not only did the three children buy a lot of lanterns, but Li Xia also bought a few.

Tao Zhu, on the other hand, is not much interested in lanterns of various shapes, what he likes is the atmosphere of hanging out with the family.

However, after washing up and getting on the kang, he hesitated, and then said to Li Qiao, who was holding the two little cubs and kissing him: "I may have seen a person tonight." ”

"Huh?" Li Qian turned her head to look at him: "Maybe you saw someone?" ”

What does this mean?

"It's just that I think it's the image, but I can't be sure."

"Like whom?"

Li Qiao asked, and then lowered her head to pinch Li Yunfan's chubby face in her arms, the baby's face is really soft.

Moreover, the little baby who is sleeping is so cute, a small lump, but fleshy, and the feeling of holding it in your arms is so wonderful.

Moreover, look at the eyebrows......
