The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Uncle still loves my second brother." Li Fu smiled.

Li Yuan curled his lips, picked up the bottle of wine in front of him and drank it.

"I am not giving this to the emperor, but to the queen. The queen treats me with the utmost filial piety. I appreciate the queen's filial piety. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I specially rewarded the queen. The weather will soon turn cold, and I also want the queen to buy more new clothes for the children."

Li Yuan explained.

"When the court outside is in a tight situation, the queen will definitely order the inner court to cut down on various things and tighten their belts."

"The money in the Da'an Palace is useless if it is kept there. Anyway, there will still be money and goods in the future."

"Yes, I understand. When the time comes, I will explain to the emperor's sister-in-law according to what you said." Li Fu had a smile on his face.

Li Yuan waved his hand, indicating that Li Fu could leave.

Li Fu took a few eunuchs from the Da'an Palace and ran to the storehouse of the Da'an Palace.

As soon as the door of the storehouse was opened, Li Fu was also impressed by the wealth.

Although a lot of money was spent from Da'an Palace when the arena was built, Da'an Palace still accumulated a lot of wealth in two years.

Mainly because the money-making business under the Jingyang Palace was shared by the palace, Da'an Palace only had money in most of the time, not much worse than Li Shimin's inner treasury.

Moreover, because Li Yuan was forced to become the emperor, Li Shimin still wanted to compensate his father, so he sent beauties, money, food and daily necessities, and the best things to Da'an Palace.

Even if Li Yuan enjoyed it, how much could he enjoy?

After it was sent, it was taken a glance and put in the storehouse.

Unknowingly, a lot of things were accumulated.

Now, it came in handy.

There was no money in the inner treasury.

But the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet had to be held, and the more it was at this time, the more grand it had to be.

This is the face of the palace, and it is also for all the court officials and noble families to see.

Although the drought in Guanzhong this year has a great impact and made it difficult for the court to work, the court has also distributed money and grain.

But the emperor is not at the end of his rope.

The account of the national treasury is the account of the national treasury, and the account of the inner court is the account of the inner court. They are different.

Even if the inner treasury paid so much money to subsidize the national treasury and the people, the Li family is still not poor.

"Let me see the account book of the treasury." Li Fu said to the eunuch of Da'an Palace: "In addition, find a few people to come and clean up. Also, you go to Lizheng Hall and send a message to the queen, saying that the emperor has rewarded a lot of things. If the queen is free, she must come. Taking things is secondary. She must go to see the emperor."

"Yes." The eunuchs around him hurriedly responded and arranged everything Li Fu said one by one.

In Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun was still looking at her children and asking about their life on the farm, when a palace maid came in and said that someone had come from Da'an Palace.

"Let them in." Empress Changsun said.

"Mother, after Uncle Wang sent us to the palace, he went to Aweng's place." Li Chengqian said, "Is there something going on with Uncle Wang?"

Empress Changsun looked at Li Chengqian lovingly.

"Just listen to what they say later." Empress Changsun smiled.

The eunuch came into the hall, bowed, and knelt on the floor.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Jingyang is in Da'an Palace, and asked me to report to your Majesty that the Emperor has a reward for the Mid-Autumn Festival. If your Majesty is free, you can go to Da'an Palace now. His Royal Highness Prince Jingyang said that whether to take the things is secondary, and the main thing is to pay homage to the Emperor."

Empress Changsun thought for a moment, then nodded in response.

"Okay, I got it."

The eunuch bowed politely and stood up to leave.

Empress Changsun looked at the children.

"It's a good thing that you are back today. Let's go see your grandfather together." Empress Changsun said.

"Okay."

Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Lizhi responded together.

After Li Ke returned to the palace to pay respects to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, he returned to Concubine Yang's palace.

Empress Changsun ordered the palace maid and the wet nurse to take good care of Li Zhi in the palace, and she took the three children and several palace maids to Da'an Palace.

The eunuch returned to Da'an Palace early to see Li Fu and told Li Fu that the news had been passed on.

Li Fu was looking through the account book and asked the eunuch guarding the warehouse about the specific situation here.

"Okay, you help me to guard outside. When the queen is about to arrive, notify me quickly." Li Fu said.

Before Empress Changsun went to thank Li Yuan, Li Fu wanted to meet Empress Changsun and explain the matter clearly.

However, perhaps his sister-in-law was smart and should be able to think of something.

Just in case, it is better to prepare in advanceIt's better to say it clearly, so that they won't have anything to talk about in front of the emperor.

Wouldn't that be a waste of Li Yuan's thoughts?

He said that his son's life was not easy, but turned around and said that the money in the family was not for his son, but because his daughter-in-law was filial, and it was for his daughter-in-law to buy clothes for the child.

Tsk, he is so stubborn at such an old age.

Men, for a lifetime, are more stubborn than anything else.

About a quarter of an hour later, the eunuch hurriedly ran to the warehouse to tell Li Fu that the queen's carriage had arrived at the gate of Da'an Palace.

Li Fu closed the account book, stuffed it to the person next to him, and hurried to the gate of the palace.

Empress Changsun came with three children.

Li Yuan would feel better if she brought the children with her.

Not to mention, the children have lived outside for such a long time, and Li Yuan, as an old man, also missed his grandchildren.

Originally, she was going to come to visit after returning to the palace.

There will also be a family dinner in Da'an Palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a family dinner where Li Yuan's children will gather together, and Li Shimin and the queen will also be present.

How can the queen not be idle in the palace all day? During the holidays, there are more things to do in the harem than in the previous dynasty.

All of them still need to be prepared in advance.

For example, there will be three banquets in the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. One is the banquet of Li Shimin and his ministers in the previous dynasty.

One is the banquet where the queen summoned the court ladies in the inner court.

Another one is the family dinner in Da'an Palace.

These three banquets are not easy to prepare, and these things naturally fall on the shoulders of Empress Changsun.

In addition to the big and small things in the harem, she also has to raise children.

There is no end to her work, no end to her work.

Being a qualified queen and a mother of the country is not just about sitting in a high position and enjoying the good life.

As the mother of the country, the mother of a country, she has many things to worry about.

As soon as the queen's carriage entered the palace gate, Empress Changsun, who was sitting on the sedan chair, saw Li Fu.
