Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty - Chapter 198
After speaking with other people, His Majesty Li Er chatted with Li Chengqian separately. The content of the chat was mainly related to Li Yuanying.
Li Yuanying has a lot of treasures in his hands, as well as many whimsical ideas, just like a child holding a treasure chest. He didn’t even know the usefulness of many things. He opened the treasure chest from time to time and blinded others, which was really reassuring.
His Majesty Li Er mainly wanted Li Chengqian to heal his wounds at ease. Among so many sons, apart from pheasant slaves, he and Li Yuanying are the best. In the future, if his brother is gone, he will have to watch him as a nephew.
There are some things that you can’t do as an emperor or a prince. It’s okay to protect Li Yuanying, who is fearless and fearless, to do it. It’s quite relieved to watch him live and do things every day.
Li Chengqian didn’t know whether he should be jealous of Li Yuanying or not. Look at what this is saying: you and your uncle are the best among your bunch of brothers. You have to sit firmly as the prince, and in the future ascend to the throne to help me protect your uncle!
If he heard His Majesty Li Er say this a few years earlier, Li Chengqian would be afraid that he would rebel! Hearing what His Majesty Li Er said until now, Li Chengqian doesn’t want to care about it anymore. Too much care will anger him. Didn’t you see that Qingque was so angry that Chang’an?
Anyway, his father is guaranteeing that no matter how well his legs recover, his position as a prince will not be shaken!
Li Chengqian said: “Uncle Yao knows it in his heart.” Don’t look at Li Yuanying’s carelessness, as if he was digging out without covering anything. In fact, he knew what he could and couldn’t do.
His Majesty Li Er coldly snorted: “He really wants to be so good, so he won’t be so noisy.”
In the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, there is only one thing right about Li Yuanying’s whole body, and that is to give birth to his younger brother. As long as Li Yuanying was born a few years earlier or his mother was stronger, he couldn’t indulge Li Yuanying so much. Now he is used to being like this. What else can he do besides continuing to protect him?
Li Yuanying didn’t know that he was stamped as “Holding a Treasure Box” by His Majesty Li Er. After he wrote the second letter to His Majesty Li Er, he soon saw Li Tai’s letter. Li Tai was irritated by him, and the letters were not so literally written. Through the letter paper, Li Yuanying could see Li Dayuan sitting in front of the case waving straight and cursing him bloody.
Li Yuanying was very pleased and wrote a reply letter to Li Tai, saying that it was the first time that she had received a letter from her four nephews, and she was very moved. He then recalled the past in the letter, saying that when he was a guest at the Palace of Wei, his four nephews would always come to accompany him personally. Such days are really missed. I don’t know how stature the four nephews are now, whether they have exercised a lot, and everything will do. It’s not as important as your health and well-being. Only if your body is well maintained can you live a good life!
Li Yuanying wrote eloquently and asked someone to send it to Xiangzhou.
Li Tai received the bulging letter, his face was black, and his face became even darker after reading it. Who misses those days? Was he worried at that time that Li Yuanying would poach people away? In the end, Li Yuanying was really poached away!
Thinking of the past, Li Tai was very angry. He missed a bowl at night, and hated that he couldn’t think about it so much that he wrote to Li Yuanying! Can Li Yuanying be scolded? Li Yuanying couldn’t understand people at all!
Li Taizheng was sulking, and the next day he rode out to relax, but he accidentally slapped his foot on the way back to the house, and he was so angry that he stayed silently at home and healed his injuries.
Li Xiaoyuanqiu can be regarded as taking the opportunity to learn and sell now. Every day, he takes his younger brothers and sisters to accompany the injured according to Li Xiang’s teaching. Let them go!
It was so noisy at the beginning of April that Li Yuanying’s second letter was finally sent to Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er saw that Li Zhi jumped Li Yuanying’s feet with anger and wrote directly to complain. Not only did he not feel that Li Zhi did something wrong, but he also felt that Li Zhi did a good job. These two boys have played together since they were young. Now they have three sons and children. Li Yuanying hasn’t even gotten married. It looks really pitiful.
His Majesty Li Er pondered for a moment and asked Li Chunfeng to pick a good day suitable for marriage, and it must not be too late after the middle spring of next year.
Li Chunfeng understood immediately that His Majesty Li Er was about to give Li Yuanying an engagement. Next year, the imperial driver will go to Mount Tai in the middle of spring. His Majesty Li Er is obviously going to turn a corner and go to Tengzhou to preside over the wedding for Li Yuanying himself.
It stands to reason that the feudal prince should have kissed him before he left Chang’an, and only Li Yuanying made such a blow in front of Wei Zheng.
Now his daughter-in-law can indeed be alone, but even if she is not married, many people still regard her as the prospective princess when she goes out. So right now, there is no difference between whether they are married or not. The only obstacle is that he often angers His Majesty Li Er, causing his wedding date to be dragged behind his nephew and niece!
It is rare that His Majesty Li Er is finally willing to let go, Li Yuanying knows how happy she is.
Li Chunfeng led the way.
His Majesty Li Er finished giving instructions to Li Chunfeng, but did not give Li Yuanying the right to speak. He only replied to reprimand Li Yuanying, don’t think about it, forgot what he said? Even if you regret what you say, you have to hold on. Otherwise, are you embarrassed to see Old Wei?
After the Fengtai straight road was repaired, Chang’an didn’t send letters to Tengzhou too slowly. Within a few days, Li Yuanying received a reply from His Majesty Li Er.
Seeing her Majesty Li Er scolded herself again, and even said that she was proud of a pheasant slave, Li Yuanying was so angry that she ran to find Wei Shu and cursed her Majesty Li Er.
Only then did Wei Shu know that Li Yuanying had written to ask His Majesty Li Er again. To be honest, seeing Gao Yang and Lu Zhaolin become relatives, she didn’t want to marry Li Yuanying earlier, but Li Er’s Majesty hasn’t been moving, so she can’t say anything.
After reading the letter from His Majesty Li Er, Wei Shu saw that Li Yuanying was still agitated and took the initiative to pull Li Yuanying and said: “If your Majesty doesn’t mention it next year, we can directly ask the mother and grandfather to call the shots.”
Although Li Yuanying is the younger brother of His Majesty Li Er, Liu Baolin is still there, her grandfather and parents are also there, and the marriage contract was made early in the morning. It is not that they cannot get married without the will of His Majesty Li Er. If His Majesty Li Er had to stop them from getting married, they would not take His Majesty Li Er to play, and they would just get married!
Upon hearing this proposal, Li Yuanying thought it was very good, and even wanted to write a letter directly to discuss with Wei Zheng, but Wei Shu stopped him.
Wei Shu analyzed for Li Yuanying that His Majesty Li Er will let them get married early next year, because his Majesty Li Er will go to Mount Tai to enshrine the Zen at that time, and he will probably transfer to Chang’an to help them preside over the marriage. In all fairness, the elder brother of His Majesty Li Er was very good to Li Yuanying, and the remarks in the letter were intended to make Li Yuanying anxious.
Li Yuanying felt that it made sense, and turned around to write to His Majesty Li Er, and wrote all the words that Wei Shu had analyzed for him. She didn’t hesitate to sell her daughter-in-law. In the letter, he triumphantly showed that he had a clever daughter-in-law, and he had seen through all the tricks of His Majesty Li Er!
After writing the letter to His Majesty Li Er, Li Yuanying began to wonder how to make his big wedding lively. He only married once in his life, so he did not want his Majesty Li Er to directly order someone to arrange it.
It doesn’t matter if the wedding date is not fixed, things can be prepared first!
Li Yuanying began to jump up and down, the whole person was filled with a kind of joy that could not be hidden. Wu Mei and others still stayed in the city and did not go to the pilot county with them, so they didn’t know that Li Yuanying started to be a demon again. Recently, Wei Yin, who was a little less busy, found out, and asked Wei Shu privately what happened to Li Yuanying.
Wei Shu didn’t expect that his analysis would make Li Yuanying so happy, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but raised slightly, and calmly told Wei Ying what he had inferred.
Now Wei Ying became a distinct control group. Li Yuanying jumped more happily, and Wei Ying became more wilted. My good sister, Li Yuanying may be overwhelmed by Li Yuanying next year!
Li Yuanying was not idle for a moment, and the people below had to do the inventory. He was not in a hurry, and asked someone to move the fire tree out of the warehouse for study. This fire tree was made in the Sui Dynasty. There are many delicate organs on it. As long as you pour some special gunpowder into it, it can emit bright white flames. This is the so-called “fire tree silver flower”.
Li Yuanying researched back and forth around the tree of fire, wondering if he could make more batches after imitating it, but let it go after nightfall, wouldn’t it be extremely lively! It’s just that the fire tree is exquisitely made, and even the size and direction of the flames are well controlled. It is not easy to imitate. He also only has such a tree, which is really reluctant to be dismantled.
Li Yuanying and the system discussed scanning the fire tree into the Ten Thousand Realms Library and directly took the drawing to do it. This was just imitating the existing things, not a big problem, the system happily asked Li Yuanying to exchange the drawings.
When Li Yuanying got the drawing, she discovered that there were nearly 3,000 small parts in such a thing. He pulled a futon and sat on it, looking at the fire tree and beginning to fall into contemplation.
When Wei Shu looked over, what he saw was the bare “iron tree” that looked a little strange during the day.
Wei Shu sat next to Li Yuanying and asked Li Yuanying what he was thinking.
Li Yuanying said: “This is what my father gave me.” At that time, the emperor loved him and was willing to give him anything good. On his birthday one year, the emperor asked people to move this iron tree to their yard, and ordered people to put gunpowder into the institution to light it. The courtyard was illuminated by flames for a while. The fire tree was tall and big, and the leaves were all bright enough. The fireworks that illuminate the night sky are like a sacred tree only found in the sky.
At that time, Li Yuanying was still young, and only thought the tree was fun and beautiful. The Supreme Emperor laughed and said, “People moved in, so why wouldn’t they not give it to you.” It was only the second year that the Supreme Emperor died of illness, and he never let anyone light up the fire tree.
Li Yuanying told Wei Shu the origin of the fire tree.
Wei Shu held Li Yuanying’s hand.
No matter what kind of emperor the Supreme Emperor is, what kind of person he is, he is always good to Li Yuanying.
Li Yuanying said: “I wanted to ask someone to imitate a few of these fire trees, and then put them in front of the palace, but after a closer look, it is really not easy to build this fire tree. Now Tengzhou has people to build roads and cultivate land. It takes so much manpower to do this kind of stuff that is just a lively thing.” He shook Wei Shu’s hand back, “Brother Emperor, they live more frugally than many noble families, and they are incomparable with the Sui Dynasty. I I think this might be the reason.”
Because they all want to use people and money in more useful places, these extravagant and decorative things can be left out.
Wei Shu said: “The saint is a sage king.”
Li Yuanying nodded. He struggled for a while, and discussed with Wei Shu: “I don’t make a lot of it, so I will make two. If it is done well, it will not be broken for a long time. You can see that this one was made at any time, and it hasn’t broken for decades. So we can order it when we get married, and we can order it every New Year’s Day. In the future, we can order it when our children get married. It’s not a loss to calculate it!”
Wei Shu said: “If you want to do it, no one will object.” For Li Yuanying, this tree of fire was not only a display to make their wedding day more lively, but also a memorial to the Supreme Emperor. She didn’t want Li Yuanying to have any regrets.
With Wei Shu’s support, Li Yuanying finally didn’t hesitate, and happily took the drawings and asked Dong Xiaoyi to find a handful of craftsmen to build the fire tree.
Li Yuanying was very happy here, and his Majesty Li Er also received a letter from Li Yuanying showing his daughter-in-law. Seeing that Wei Shu guessed their marriage date quite accurately, Li Er’s Majesty felt that Li Yuanying, the princess, was indeed very smart, and he did not know whether Li Yuanying would suffer in the future.
However, if Li Yuanying wanted to mess around all day long, it would be better to have a smarter princess **** to prevent him from jumping into the sky.
Now that Wei Shu had guessed it, His Majesty Li Er stopped mentioning it, and told Wei Zheng about the matter. He also asked Wei Zheng if he could eat well, and if he could go to Mount Tai together next year.
Wei Zheng had always been the leader who prevented Li Er from going down to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, and he could hear a bit of urgency from the question of Li Er. Wei Zheng said without changing his face: “Weichen can still eat two big bowls of rice.”
It means he is very tough.
Wei Zheng has not always believed in the destiny of gods and ghosts. He believed that Taishan’s consecration of Zen was only a face-saving project. Moreover, after starting this head, latecomers will inevitably want to follow suit. At that time, there will be a rule that will hurt the people and money, and it will always be the people who suffer.
When the Qin Dynasty ruled the world, Qin Shihuang patrolled the east more than ten times. The repeated public grievances are the root of the chaos in the world, and Wei Zheng does not want His Majesty Li Er to play a bad head.
But now His Majesty Li Er had already decided to go to Mount Tai, and Li Yuanying, a fool, had built a flat straight road, and Wei Zheng had no reason to stop him.
If someone can build such a road without the imperial expense and the people suffering, let alone go to Mount Tai, even if His Majesty Li Er wants to go to Jiaozhou, Yazhou, it will be no problem!
So even if His Majesty Li Er deliberately ran on, Wei Zheng didn’t know it. How can he not go with his favorite granddaughter who wants to get married? He also brazenly went back to Mount Tarzan!
His Majesty Li Er did not embarrass Wei Zheng much, and successively finalized the accompanying list. Wei Zheng knew about Li Yuanying’s wedding date, and Changsun Wuji and others knew about it.
Fang Xuanling raised a mouth with Lu Shi after returning home, and Lu Shi began to sulking again.
Last year, Lu Zhaolin married Gao Yang, and the two of them became relatives with Hemei Meidi. No bad rumors came out.
However, the two nieces in her photo have been approved by others, and Fang Jun has no fate with them! Moreover, she hadn’t watched her son a while ago, and let Hu Meizi outside hook Fang Jun, but she was very angry. How come these guys are married, but her precious son is missing?
Lu’s complained about Fang Xuanling again, and complained that he gave Lu Zhaolin to protect the media, now he is fine, Gao Yang is married, their son did not marry, and he is always laughed at when he goes out!
Fang Xuanling had no choice but to listen honestly.
Compared with Changan’s people who have their own minds, Tengzhou’s reactions are more consistent. They are happy to hear that the wedding date has been set, and actively prepares for the marriage of Li Yuanying and Wei Shu.
Even if His Majesty Li Er will send a courtesy officer over to make preparations, they still don’t plan to sit and wait. The preparations in Chang’an are Chang’an’s business. How can the preparations in Tengzhou be the same?
For a while, the whole Tengzhou became lively.
Wei Yin was ordered by his parents to set up a small house in the city and took Wei Shu from the palace. Even if the wedding date is not set, it is really not decent to live in the palace directly after the wedding date. Is it to marry directly from the palace on the wedding day? Even if the Wei family is not prominent, they can’t lose that face.
At the end of the three-month period, Li Yuanying returned to the city from the pilot county and quickly ran to the house where the Wei family brothers and sisters settled. He was very dissatisfied with the size of the house, and murmured to Wei Shu: “How do you get used to living in such a small house? We still have half a year to get married.”
Wei Shu said: “Our house in Chang’an is also such a small one.” In Chang’an, with a small amount of money, many people will not be able to buy a house in their entire lives. They can buy it or rely on Wei Zheng’s face.
Li Yuanying recalled that Wei’s residence has always been so shabby. This is also no way. Who says Wei Zheng is an upright official and a zhenzheng adviser? If he can’t be upright, diligent and thrifty, he won’t be so effective in persuading Li Er to come down. Maybe he will be caught and pulled off the horse!
Li Yuanying said: “If I am an official, I must be a corrupt official, I won’t be your grandfather.”
Wei Shu couldn’t hear it. It was the first time that she heard someone say so frankly that she wanted to be a corrupt official.
Thanks to Li Yuanying’s money that is too much to spend, and even if there is no money, there is a way to empty the white wolf, otherwise Wei Shu is really worried that he will do those big money-making activities!
Li Yuanying criticized Wei’s small house inside and outside, knowing that she could not bring Wei Shupi back, so she could only barely accept this reality, and took Wei Shu to talk for a long time before leaving reluctantly.
With the blueprints in hand, the imitation of the fire tree went well. A group of craftsmen worked hard for a few months, and they got it out before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Li Yuanying asked Sun Simiao, who had just returned from Chang’an, to help prepare the ignition powder, and put the fire tree on the small lake of the palace for a trial.
The thing that used gunpowder was dangerous, Li Yuanying was invited by the guards to wait at a small pavilion near the lake not far away, and they were responsible for lighting the fire tree.
The night soon enveloped the entire Prince Teng Mansion, and Li Yuanying specially made people turn off a lot of lights, pulling Wei Shu and sitting in the pavilion waiting to see the fire tree being lit. The guards cleared the surrounding area, and upon an order, the people who were standing next to the two fire trees ignited the fuse at the same time.
The two fire trees burst into light suddenly, and the slender fireworks decorated their original bare branches beautifully.
There is a distance between the lakeside pavilion and the fire tree, but the whole picture of the fire tree can be seen more clearly. Li Yuanying took Wei Shu’s hand and walked to the pavilion, looking at the beautiful fireworks that only existed in memories.
The father loved him and spoiled him because he was a Yaoer and because he didn’t have any expectations of him. When he was born, his father happened to move to the Da’an Palace, formally far away from the center of power, only to be an emperor who only needs to hold beauties to enjoy every day. So it was very time for him to be born, even if all the brothers might have thoughts that they shouldn’t have, only he wouldn’t, because he had never seen the way his father was in power.
They look like ordinary father and son in the world.
Human hearts are always fleshy, even if you just hold them up to you from time to time at the beginning, you will still have true feelings after getting along for a long time.
At that time, the last thing their father lacked was time, and he would play with him almost every day.
When he was the most naughty, he could even sit on his father’s neck and ride his father as a horse.
As he got older, Li Yuanying also gradually realized that he was only one of the 22 sons of his father, and that he was only one of the many brothers of the emperor’s brother. In fact, he was not very special, not outstanding, and not very special. ability.
If it hadn’t been for the wrong chance, he might have stayed in the palace and grew up honestly, and when he was old, he would take his mother to the fief and become an ordinary vassal king.
Li Yuanying clasped Wei Shu’s hand and said, “We are getting married. Father will be very happy to know.”
Wei Shu had never seen the Supreme Emperor. After listening to Li Yuanying’s words, he nodded and stood quietly beside Li Yuanying watching the fireworks.
A fire tree can’t be filled with too much gunpowder, no matter how beautiful it is, it will always burn out. When the gunpowder in the organ has burned out, the bright fireworks will gradually go out, and through the night, only one bare tree remains. Tie Shu stood there.
Li Yuanying asked people to clean up and stop them when they got married, and then put them in front of the palace and show them to the people. It was not in vain that so many craftsmen rushed to work day and night.
Li Yuanying was happy and sometimes melancholy about the marriage, and Dai Ting and her group, who were far away in Champa, also received a letter from Li Yuanying. Li Yuanying naturally didn’t want him to be absent on the wedding day for the little partner who had followed him since he was a child, so he deliberately asked people to send a letter to Champa as soon as possible so that Dai Ting could not make it back to Tengzhou.
After Dai Ting arrived at Champa, he was inquiring about rice seeds. Champa is not very old, he quickly found the rice seeds he wanted, but there were not many rice seeds available on the market. Everyone had the habit of keeping the seeds back then, so the only way to get a large amount of rice seeds was to wait for the autumn harvest.
After the autumn harvest, he could not leave immediately, and he had to wait for the rice seeds to be dried before being transported back. Therefore, Dai Ting temporarily found a place to stay in Champa and kept the rich rice mature every day.
This time he didn’t care about the troubles. Unless he provokes them or damages their rice seeds, he will not interfere with anything. After all, his purpose of this trip is only one: to get Champa’s high-yielding rice seeds. Take it back to Tengzhou.
The climate here is very hot, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is still like summer. Many people go shirtless when drying rice seeds.
Dai Ting sat in the pavilion and read Li Yuanying’s letter. He stood up and said to the left and right: “Collect the rice as soon as possible, and we will leave for Tengzhou at the end of the month.” The sea is changing and it is not safe to travel by boat, even if it is possible to return from Champa to Tengzhou If you walk along the coast, you have to prevent any accidents on the road.
They must rush back with rice seeds, and they must not miss Li Yuanying’s marriage.
The author has something to say:
Little Prince: I’m getting married!
