The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"The people have no money or food, and some are even in other places." Li Fu said, "The price of food in Guanzhong has also risen a lot. This winter is destined to be more difficult for them than before. Whether it is the court or the newly established charity, if they want to achieve good expectations and results, they must act before the winter. If they wait until the weather is cold and they start to act, it will be too late."

That's the real child's death and milk.

Li Shao thought about it and it was true.

"Should we remind the Queen..."

Li Fu shook his head.

"Your Majesty and the Queen know it."

When they were chatting in Liangyi Hall, Li Fu had already secretly reminded Li Shimin.

When the couple couldn't sleep and chatted in Lizheng Hall at night, they would naturally chat.

"By the way, tomorrow morning, arrange for Shitou to go to the palace and deliver some things." Li Fu said, "The bedding made in the farmhouse must be sent to the East Palace. Cheng Qian asked me about it during dinner in the evening."

Li Shao smiled and said, "Okay, let's arrange it tomorrow morning."

The carriage returned to the Jingyang Palace in the night.

It must be said that the banquet held in the palace this year is more grand and lively than in previous years.

After Li Fu left, the banquet in the Taiji Hall continued for a long time.

After participating in this banquet and leaving the palace, the officials of the court could not help but discuss it behind their backs.

From this pomp, the inner court is not as exhausted as they originally expected.

If this is true, the palace will not spend such a huge amount of money to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Everything has traces in the past.

From the Wude period to the first year of Zhenguan, everyone knew that the inner court was not rich, and the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held in the palace, which was just the case.

Later, the inner court became rich, and the Dragon Boat Festival costumes, Mid-Autumn Festival banquets, and New Year's Day court meetings were more lively and grand.

This was the palace showing its strength to the court officials.

This year is still the same.

In other words, their original speculation that the palace had emptied its assets due to the drought in Guanzhong was wrong.

The inner court's assets are still thick.

The next morning, Li Chengqian was waiting in the East Palace with great expectations, and the eunuchs outside came in hurriedly.

"Your Highness." The eunuch bowed and saluted: "Outside the palace, someone from the Jingyang Palace came, a guard named Shitou, who came with people."

Li Chengqian heard the words and walked out directly.

Shitou brought the servants of the palace and carried a lot of large boxes to the East Palace.

Li Chengqian went out to greet them directly.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you." Shitou bowed his hands.

"No need to be polite." Li Chengqian smiled: "Have you brought them all?"

"Your Highness, I have brought them all." Shitou replied: "Do you want to put them in the warehouse?"

Li Chengqian shook his head: "No, no, just carry them to the palace."

Anyway, it has to be sent out today.

"Yes." Shitou replied, called the servants of the palace, and carried the box into the main hall of the East Palace.

"The things have been delivered, Your Highness, I will go back to report."

"Okay, thank you." Li Chengqian replied.

"I dare not."

Shitou left after delivering the things.

Li Chengqian sent the eunuch to find Li Ke, and told the eunuch to meet Li Ke alone and tell Li Ke about this matter.

The eunuch left in response.

About two quarters of an hour later, Li Ke hurried to the East Palace and ran to the main hall.

"Big brother." After entering the palace, Li Ke greeted Li Chengqian.

"Come quickly." Li Chengqian greeted Li Ke.

"These two boxes here are yours. Have you brought people with you?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Ke nodded: "I brought them."

"Yes, the weather will be cold in a while, so send them in advance." Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I will also take Qingque to Lizheng Hall to see my mother in a while."

"Yes." Li Ke responded.

Then he asked the eunuch who came with him to take away the two large boxes.

Li Ke left, and Li Tai came right after him. Seeing the brand new bedding in the box, Li Tai's chubby face also showed a smile.

"Let's go to Lizheng Hall together and send it to my mother, and then go to Da'an Palace in the afternoon." Li Chengqian said, "To see my father-in-law."

"Okay." Li Tai responded.

He liked this arrangement very much.

In this way, he didn't have to go to class all day.

As for refusing these things?

That's impossible.

This is filial piety.

It's more real and practical than studying and attending classes.

What, teacher, are you going to stop students from being filial?

Li Tai couldn't stop smiling, his eyes narrowed

After calling a few eunuchs and carrying the boxes, the two brothers rushed to Lizheng Hall.

Now Changle also lives in Lizheng Hall. She doesn't have a separate residence yet, so she lives with Empress Changsun. Therefore, when doing this job, the two brothers didn't ask anyone to call Changle over.

Changle will definitely be questioned by her mother carefully when she leaves Lizheng Hall, and she must not reveal the truth.

Empress Changsun was thinking about how to balance the women on the list, and the maid came in to report that the prince and the prince of Wei came to Lizheng Hall.

"Let them in." Empress Changsun put down the list in her hand, removed the fatigue on her face, and replaced it with a touch of tenderness.

"Your son greets you, mother."

"Come here quickly." Empress Changsun called the two brothers: "Why didn't you go to class today and come to your mother?"

"Mother, Qingque and I are here to give you something." Li Chengqian explained.

After saying that, he turned back to look at the eunuchs at the door and asked them to carry the things in.

The eunuchs carried the box into the Lizheng Hall.

"Mother, these are the cotton that Qingque and I picked in the cotton field with Uncle Wang on the farm. Later, they processed and made them into cotton quilts and mattresses. Please take a look, mother."

As Li Chengqian spoke, he and Li Tai opened the box together.

Empress Changsun hurried to help.

The quilts inside were too big for the two children, and they couldn't drag them.

Moreover, the silk quilt cover that looked very high-quality had to be placed directly on the couch.

Two palace maids on the side stepped forward and took the quilts and mattresses inside to the couch.

"Did you make this?" Empress Changsun asked.

Li Chengqian shook his head: "Mother, this quilt cover was made by someone from Uncle Wang's house. The cotton inside was made by us together. Last year, I worked on it with Uncle Wang on the farm. This spring, we opened a piece of land on the farm to grow cotton. When the cotton was harvested, we also went there and picked the cotton ourselves. We also cleaned it up by ourselves when we came back."

As for fluffing cotton, they couldn't do this job.
