"Sir, I just received news from my hometown that the rice you asked the villagers to plant has now begun to bear ears."
In the tavern, Uncle Fu smiled and said to Zhao Chen.
A few months ago, Zhao Chen left some rice seeds in his hometown.
Ask the villagers to plant it.
At this time, it is also the time to ear.
"The folks said that Xing Guzi doesn't know what the situation is and would like to ask you to go back and have a look."
"If the young master is willing, the villagers will drive the ox cart to pick him up at noon tomorrow."
Uncle Fu said a few more words and looked at Zhao Chen.
Pingkangfang is only a few dozen miles away from Lai's home in Wannian County, which is nothing to ordinary people.
But for Zhao Chen, it was quite difficult.
Even if you are riding in an ox cart, you must prevent wind and sand from getting into your nose to avoid causing gas problems.
But the folks invited them so much, and Forbes didn't know how to refuse.
"Sir, let's not go. It's a long journey, so let's wait until the master gets better," Fu Bo advised.
"I'm fine. I just want to go back to my hometown for a visit. I can stay here for one night at most and come back the next day." Zhao Chen waved his hand and smiled.
"Can……"
"Uncle Fu, please reply to my letter and tell me that I will be waiting for the folks here tomorrow," Zhao Chen said.
Uncle Fu sighed, knowing that he could not persuade Zhao Chen, so he reluctantly withdrew.
…
"What's wrong, sister? You seem a little unhappy today?"
In the Li Zheng Palace, Queen Changsun took Hong Funu's hand and asked with concern.
Hongfu Nu respected Empress Changsun very much, and she did not speak as casually as she did in front of other people.
"Some little things happened today, which made me feel quite unhappy and made the empress laugh." Hongfu Nu said slowly.
To this day, she still resents Zhao Chen for being the one who suffered a thousand blows.
"Why is it that makes my sister so upset? Why don't you tell me and tell her, maybe she can give you some advice." Empress Changsun said softly.
Hongfu Nu thought for a while and knew that if she didn't find someone to talk to, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep today.
Empress Changsun was also a sister to her, so she thought it would be okay to talk to her.
"Your Majesty, you don't know. Today I met a shopkeeper in a tavern in Napingkangfang, and he made me mad." Hongfu Nu said.
"Tavern? From the shopkeeper?" Queen Changsun thought of Zhao Chen inexplicably.
However, she rejected it instantly.
That kid Zhao Chen is humble, polite, and gentle with others. How could he make Hongfu Girl so angry?
"My dear, you don't know that the shopkeeper is so greedy that he even charged me a hundred cents for a bowl of porridge."
"Then sister gave it to you?" Empress Changsun was surprised.
One hundred Wen is enough for an ordinary person to live for several months.
What kind of porridge is so expensive?
This tavern owner is really abominable.
That kid Zhao Chen would definitely not be like this!
"How could I possibly give it? If that kid hadn't run so fast, I would have pierced him with one strike of my sword." Hong Fu Nu hummed.
"Sister, don't be upset. It's a coincidence. My sister also knows a tavern owner, but he is humble and polite. The food in the tavern is also very delicious. His Majesty said that he will leave the palace tomorrow, so I will accompany my sister." Empress Changsun said with a smile.
.
Queen Changsun has recovered very well recently.
Li Shimin decided to go to Zhao Cheng's tavern tomorrow morning and let Queen Changsun meet Zhao Chen.
"A person who can be praised like this by the Empress must be extraordinary. I'm a little curious." Hongfu Nu was also curious when she saw that Empress Changsun praised someone so much.
"I'll find out when I see you tomorrow, but the shopkeeper doesn't know our identities, and my sister must not reveal our identities." Empress Changsun warned.
She doesn't want this relationship to be different because of the change in status.
The key is that she doesn't want Zhao Chen to be sad.
"Don't worry, Madam, I won't say anything nonsense!" Hongfu Nu said with a smile.
…
Changsun Wuji thought for a long time at home and finally decided to separate the eggs.
Early the next morning, he sent an invitation to Li Tai.
Invite him to the mansion for a banquet.
Changsun Wuji's invitation made Li Tai full of surprise.
Changsun Wuji was from the East Palace and had never interacted with Li Tai.
This time I actually took the initiative to place an invitation with him.
For a moment, everyone under Li Tai realized that Changsun Wuji had probably received some information from His Majesty the Emperor.
The eight achievements are related to the position of the prince.
The emperor loved Li Tai so much that he might actually pass the title of prince to Li Tai.
Otherwise, how to explain Changsun Wuji’s invitation?
The advisers and retainers in Li Tai's mansion were all confident and motivated for a while.
Li Tai came to the door and talked with Changsun Wuji for a long time. Before leaving, Changsun Wuji personally walked him to the door.
The relationship seems to be extremely close.
The affairs of Changsun Mansion naturally spread to the East Palace.
Li Chengqian waited for two days and received no news.
However, he received the news that Changsun Wuji invited Li Tai into his house for a banquet.
The key is that Li Chengqian did not receive the invitation to the banquet.
"Prime Minister, has uncle received any news?"
"He said that he wanted to find out about my father's story with me, but now he is hosting a banquet for Qingque in the mansion without consulting me."
"I feel that my uncle wants to change his family."
A trace of anger flashed across Li Chengqian's face, and he spoke to Fang Xuanling behind him.
Fang Xuanling was also a little surprised by Changsun Wuji's actions.
However, how can you talk nonsense about changing the court?
In today's world, the ministers are only loyal to His Majesty.
Fang Xuanling also knew that Li Chengqian was beginning to panic.
Recently, His Majesty the Emperor's doting on Li Tai has become more and more serious.
He also took back the prince's power to supervise the country.
This is a very bad signal.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, your Majesty, even if you dote on the King of Yue, Li Tai, you can't depose the prince and establish the King of Yue."
"The prince is the eldest son. As long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, the position of prince belongs to His Highness."
"If you want to surpass His Highness the Crown Prince, you have to have another eldest son." Fang Xuanling comforted Li Chengqian.
If the emperor wants to do this, he will abolish Li Chengqian's position as crown prince.
None of the ministers in the court would agree.
The prince's relationship with the country can be changed at will.
Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.
He is the emperor's eldest son, how could another eldest son pop up.
No matter how favored Li Tai is, he cannot surpass Li Chengqian and take the position of prince.
Li Chengqian's tense mood instantly relaxed a lot.
"Thank you, Mr. Fang, for your teachings. Chengqian has learned a lesson!" Li Chengqian cupped his hands and said to Fang Xuanling.
"His Royal Highness, your words are serious." Fang Xuanling quickly returned the greeting.
"Fang Xiang, I want to go to my uncle's house tomorrow. Since he won't come, I will come to ask in person." Li Chengqian looked at Fang Xuanling and said.
Fang Xuanling wanted to persuade Li Chengqian not to go.
Such an action actually made Changsun Wuji feel uncomfortable.
But then I thought again, it would be better to ask this question clearly to avoid unnecessary worries.
Then he nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please be patient and ask questions, and don't act too hastily."
