The sound of firecrackers could be heard outside, but there was silence in the hall. In line with the principle of economy, no candle holders were lit in the hall. Instead, a tallow candle was lit at each of the four corners, and a candle holder was lit near the main seat.
, so the light in the hall is dark.
Therefore, Li Zhiyun could not clearly see Huaiyang's expression at this time. But he thought that Huaiyang might not have thought of this.
Yang took Huaiyang's hand and said softly: "You heard clearly what I just said."
Huaiyang deliberately said that I didn't hear anything, but Yang's determined tone made her nod silently.
"Then what do you think?"
Hearing this, Huaiyang fell silent.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun coughed lightly and said, "Madam, forget it."
Yang rolled her eyes at him and did not pursue Huaiyang to get to the bottom of it. However, after this incident, the three of them had their own thoughts when playing Monopoly and were not so happy.
Soon after, with the sound of bells in the palace, the first year of Wude was announced and farewell was announced, and the Tang Dynasty ushered in the second year of Wude.
The young people from all the prefectures are kowtowing to their elders, and every household is smiling.
There are no juniors in the Prince of Chu's palace, so it is all the slaves who congratulate their master. Princess Chu is not stingy either, and all the slaves who send blessings are given a lot of things.
Huaiyang packed up the Monopoly chessboard, glanced past the mini castle grinding tool with the name "Jiangdu" engraved on it, sighed slightly in his heart, and quietly went down with the chessboard.
She is currently Li Zhiyun's personal maid. She lives in the West Cross Courtyard. She is a high-status maid in the palace. Therefore, she lives in a room alone.
I returned to the courtyard today, and it was quiet. The other maids were busy sending New Year greetings to King Chu and Princess Chu, so there were not many people in the courtyard.
After cleansing her face and washing her hands, she quietly pulled out a wooden box from under the bed and opened it. Inside was a fine jade pendant.
Holding the jade pendant gently, Huaiyang couldn't help crying.
This was something Yang Guang gave her, and it was the only thing she had left about her father.
She didn't dare to sacrifice Yang Guang privately, so she could only look at the jade pendant to remember him.
I don't know how long it took, but a woman's voice came from outside.
"Sister? Sister?"
Hearing this, Huaiyang put away the jade pendant and walked out quickly.
"What's wrong?"
The person who came was a maid who had a good relationship with Huaiyang. When she saw Huaiyang, she said, "Sister, the king wants to see you."
After saying that, the maid took Princess Chu's reward and returned to the house with a smile.
Huaiyang came to the gate of Xikuoyuan and saw King Chu standing with his hands behind his back.
Why did the king come here?
"King?"
Li Zhiyun turned around and asked, "Why did you disappear in such a blink of an eye?"
"The slave is cleaning up the chessboard." She whispered.
There was silence between the two of them for a while.
Li Zhiyun said: "This is a reward for you, take it."
He handed over a scroll.
"What is this?" She looked at the scroll and then looked at him in confusion.
"Everyone in the mansion will be rewarded today, and so will you."
"Slave..."
"Take it." Li Zhiyun interrupted her refusal.
Watching her put away the scroll, Li Zhiyun continued: "Don't take what the princess said earlier to heart, she was joking with me."
Huaiyang nodded lightly.
As for whether they were joking or not, they both knew the truth in their hearts.
Li Zhiyun said: "The weather is very cold. You should rest early. There is no need to come over to wait on you. I will go and talk to the princess."
After hearing what he said, Huaiyang lowered his head and agreed.
Back in the house, Huaiyang opened the scroll, and a man wearing imperial robes appeared on it.
She immediately covered her mouth and couldn't stop her tears from flowing down.
Staying up late to watch the New Year's Eve is not a chore, and Li Zhiyun also stayed up late in the army. But it was a new thing for Princess Chu. She didn't feel sleepy while playing chess with Li Zhiyun in the first half of the night, but it became a bit difficult in the second half of the night.
Unknowingly, she was leaning on Li Zhiyun's shoulder, half asleep and half awake.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun put the big cloak on her body and hugged his wife tightly.
Although the two of them have been married for less than a month, their relationship is heating up rapidly. Li Zhiyun needs to have status, good looks, a good temper, a sweet talk and a coaxing ability, so he can be regarded as a wishful man.
Needless to say, Mr. Yang, there is no way Li Zhiyun would be dissatisfied with such a beautiful lady.
Although it was a forced marriage, the two of them felt contented.
Snap!
The sound of firecrackers came from the fire, and Yang woke up.
"I fell asleep?"
"Go to sleep, I'm here."
"Shou Sui." Yang started from his arms and wrapped the cloak tightly, which smelled of Li Zhiyun.
The two of them were chatting, and the topic of their children unknowingly came to mind.
"A husband should have more women, so that he can spread the branches and leaves of the palace."
"You and I are still young, why are you talking about this?"
Li Zhiyun finally understood why his wife was acting abnormally before, and her relationship was because of the child.
After hearing what Li Zhiyun said, Yang did not continue to struggle, and instead started talking about interesting things about staying up late on New Year's Eve as a child.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, all ministers and foreign envoys came to congratulate the emperor.
Then we went to visit relatives, which was mostly just for fun, with relatives who were close to each other visiting each other.
Li Zhiyun naturally visited the East Palace, Qin Prince's Mansion, and Qi Prince's Mansion. The four brothers got together. On the surface, they were naturally very familiar with each other. The atmosphere was harmonious while drinking and bragging. Perhaps none of them wanted to make trouble in Yuan Zhengri, so the four brothers did not Mention matters of government affairs.
The next day, Li Daoxuan and Li Daozong visited the Chu Palace.
Several cousins, the three of them play the best, and the main reason is that they are similar in age.
Yang ordered someone to bring tea and chatted for a while, then took the maids down, leaving space for the three brothers.
"This tea is really delicious. I heard that many nobles now like to drink this kind of tea." Li Daozong held the teacup, smashed it in his mouth, and muttered: "It's just too expensive. A pound of tongue costs 100%." I don’t know where the evil person is behind this for half a living.”
Li Daoxuan said: "Can ordinary people dare to do business in Chang'an?"
Li Zhiyun hummed and smiled. People in the Tang Dynasty finally began to slowly discover the delicious taste of fried tea. Now selling tea has become the income of the palace.
He is conducting experiments to see if he can make tea eggs.
"If you are interested, you can join one."
"Join the first level?" Li Daozong was stunned at first, and then his eyes widened, "Zhiyun, did you make this tea?"
Li Zhiyun nodded, "It was shipped from Bashu. Xiaogong had someone deliver the goods."
There was no extra land in Guanzhong for him to plant tea trees, so he had to find mountain products from Bashu and transplant them manually. However, due to the lack of technology, many tea trees died.
Li Daoxuan asked: "Fifth brother, I'm afraid there is something else that needs to be done in the meantime to create this kind of tea, right?"
"That's natural."
"Why do you ask so many questions? I'll join the first class." Li Daozong said: "Zhiyun, I don't want too many. You can just give me a little more every month."
"good."
"Then I'll join the first team too." Li Daoxuan said.
"OK."
The three brothers laughed heartily while chatting.
