The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"My husband said that we should pass the sign into the palace and let the people in the palace inform them." Liu Niang said.

Wu Liangye nodded.

He knew the rules.

He took the sign and came to the guard at the gate of the imperial city and handed it to him.

"We are from the Jingyang Palace. Please pass it on for us and say that the Jingyang King has sent people to deliver something to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Wu Liangye said.

"Okay, please wait at the palace gate." After the people at the palace gate checked the sign, they asked the people on duty inside to go to the palace to pass it on.

After entering the palace, they must go to Taiji Palace to see His Majesty first.

Li Yuan heard that it was Li Fu's people who were delivering things to the palace, so he asked someone to pick up Wu Liangye and Liu Niang and bring them to Taiji Palace.

The carriage was left outside and guarded by a special person.

Wu Liangye and Liu Niang each carried a jar and followed the palace people into Taiji Palace.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

After entering the palace, the two knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Get up." Li Yuan raised his hand: "What good things did the King of Jingyang ask you to bring me?"

"Your Majesty, it's canned hawthorns made by the master himself." Liu Niang said, and then carefully handed over the jar in her hand.

The eunuch beside Li Yuan hurried forward and held the jar with both hands.

"Hawthorns again? Why? Your husband likes to eat hawthorns recently?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

"Last time the three little princes went out of the palace to the King of Jingyang's house, the husband bought a lot of hawthorns. These were not made that day. This time, the husband studied a new method and said that he would let your Majesty taste it." Liu Niang said.

Li Yuan smiled and nodded.

In this hot weather, hawthorns can really whet the appetite.

"Then is this other jar for the East Palace?" Li Yuan saw the jar in Wu Liangye's hand.

"Your Majesty, yes, our husband said that he wanted to send some to the three little princes, saying that they studied hard and he was afraid that they would not like to eat." Liu Niang responded.

Hearing this, Li Yuan smiled even more.

"He likes my three grandchildren." Li Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I appreciate his intention."

Liu Niang also instructed, "Your Majesty, the husband also said that if Your Majesty is irritable and can't eat, you can put two ice cubes in this can of hawthorn to cool it down with ice cubes, but it will be relatively cold, Your Majesty should not be greedy."

"Okay, I know." Li Yuan responded, "Come here, see the reward."

Li Yuan asked the eunuch to reward the two with some silver and then let them leave.

After Liu Niang and Wu Liangye saluted, they left the hall and went to the East Palace.

On the East Palace side, it was Changsun who received them.

When she heard that it was for the three children, she praised Li Fu for his thoughtfulness and ordered to reward Wu Liangye and Liu Niang.

After Li Shimin came back from handling the matter, Changsun brought a small bowl of canned iced hawthorn to Li Shimin.

"Well? This thing is good. Is it made by the Shangshi Bureau?" Li Shimin asked.

"The Shangshi Bureau doesn't make this thing. This was sent by the King of Jingyang." Changsun said, "Your Majesty also sent it. We said it was for the three children."

"Then wouldn't I be competing with our three children for food?" Li Shimin laughed.

"He said that just as an excuse. His people must go to His Majesty first when they enter the palace." Changsun said.

"This kid is a good person." Li Shimin smiled helplessly: "However, he is really good at making this thing. I am right. No one can compare to him in eating."

"However, as a prince, he also has the ability to handle political affairs. It is not a good thing to let him go back and forth between the farm and Chang'an City all day. Now that you are in need of people, Erlang, don't you think about how to let him serve as an official in the court and do something for the court?"

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly.

"I know this kid has talent, but he doesn't have the mind at the moment. Forcing him to stay in Chang'an City will only backfire. It is better to let him go. If there is anything in the future, find him. After all, a forced melon is not sweet."

"It's just a pity." Changsun said.

"What a pity, he is a member of our Li family, he can't run away." Li Shimin smiled and said, "If he really needs to be used, he will not refuse, but looking at his appearance, he must be lazy."

"He has never grown up in the Duke of Tang's mansion since he was a child, nor has he been trained by the family. It is understandable that he is a little lazy."

Li Shimin can understand Li Fu.

"Now, he is busy on both sides, and he looks like he is losing money." Changsun smiled and said, "I heard from the people below that he is still thinking about the business on the farm."

"What else? The huge Jingyang Palace, if there is no source of income, the salary alone cannot support so many people, and there are also the old people around his father in Jinyang. Those people are dispensable to the old house and are not valued, but it is different for Li Fu. He is in need of people around him. Even if I give him a few guards, it is not enough.

A palace cannot do without some people to support the scene. "

When Li Fu was first named a prince, except for four servants and a farm, the rest was an empty shell.

Your Majesty rewarded him with good land, houses and servants, but it was just to build up his frame. How to enrich the Jingyang Palace is Li Fu's own business.

It is not good for others to care too much.

"By the way, His Majesty has already explained it, and we should also start preparing here." Changsun said.

Speaking of this, Li Shimin was secretly excited in his heart, but on the surface he still looked normal.

"When. "Li Shimin asked, "Has the date been set?"

"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated an auspicious date and set it on the ninth day of the eighth month. Your Majesty agreed." Changsun said, "Let me come back to tell you so that you can prepare."

"Okay." Li Shimin nodded and replied, "Okay."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he let out a long breath.

Now, it can be said that what he wanted has come true.

There are still more than ten days before the ninth day of the eighth month. Let the Ministry of Rites concentrate on preparing for this matter. In terms of time, it is still in time.

"Send a message to Li Fu tomorrow, don't stay in the farm all day, let him come back to Chang'an on the first day." Li Shimin said.

"Yes. "Changsun responded.

As for Li Fu, after returning to the manor, he devoted himself to the construction of the manor.

The original blueprint was completed and sent to him.

Looking at the amount of work on the blueprint, it was really not small.

But Li Fu didn't have much spare money now. If he wanted to complete the project on the blueprint, he would need a lot of money.

This time, the blueprint was to build houses for his guards on the manor.
