Chapter 202 New Year's Day

Next, everything was on track.

With Li Xuan's "Aye" added to his body, Li Yuan felt as if he had taken an elixir. He was full of energy and shuttled back and forth between Lijiazhuang and Chang'an City. His whole mind was focused on Li Xuan's marriage.

In Lijiazhuang, a nine-year-old heir appeared out of thin air and suffered from mild autism.

In Li Xuan's leisurely life, there is one more medical treatment matter.

All day long, Li Chongyi and Li Baoding were arranged to feed Li Xiong. Regarding food, Li Xiong would not refuse any food, whether it was meat, vegetables, or bamboo. Li Xuan once felt that this silly and cute dumpling,

More like a species at the top of the food chain than him.

Let Li Chongyi take Li Baoding to cook, wash dishes, water vegetables in the glass greenhouse, feed chickens and pigs, forge steel bars and bake cement in the forge.

However, baking cement took up too much space, so Li Xuan asked Chu Suiliang to take people from the Jin Palace to build a cement workshop outside the village of Lijiazhuang, near the roadside, to bake cement.

Next to the cement workshop, there are piles of gravel and river sand, which are getting higher and higher day by day. These are collected day by day by Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi's farmers in their village.

Time flies by and it will soon be the Chinese New Year.

Li Xuan killed a group of the chickens and hogs in the chicken pen and the hog pen, and distributed some to the villagers in Lijiazhuang. The rest was brought back by Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi, and Li Xuan's small courtyard directly

It became deserted.

It's just that I haven't spent half a day clearing it yet.

Li Chang, the steward of Prince Jin's palace, led a group of servants from the palace and rushed outside the small courtyard.

"Your Majesty, today is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is New Year's Day. We will invite your Majesty to return home!"

"New Year's Eve is New Year's Eve!"

"Your Majesty, on New Year's Eve, the Jin Palace cannot be without your Majesty!"

"I feel comfortable in the courtyard, why do I have to go to Prince Jin's Mansion?"

"Your Majesty, on New Year's Eve, the whole family will gather together to have a New Year's Eve dinner, drink pepper wine, and watch the New Year! If Your Majesty doesn't go back, what will King Huaiwei do?"

Li Chang asked.

"Forehead!"

Li Xuan's expression froze, and he glanced at Li Baoding, who was still a little timid, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

"I bid farewell to the farmers in the village and go to Chang'an!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang and others were all smiling.

As for Li Xuan's brief farewell, Lijiazhuang's sixth uncle had already anticipated it and allowed Li Xuan to leave with peace of mind. He assured Li Xuan that everyone in the village would take good care of the courtyard during the few days that Li Xuan left.

Wait until Li Xuan returns to the small courtyard.

The housekeeper Li Chang, along with the servants of the palace, hung two peach boards at the head of the door, with the names Shen Tu and Yu Lei written on them.

This is equivalent to the Spring Festival couplets of the Tang Dynasty.

Afterwards, Li Xuan got on the carriage and headed for Chang'an City, surrounded by the ceremonial guards of the Jin Dynasty, who were surrounded by black and white flowers in front and behind.

Among the honor guards, the most conspicuous ones are the two brightest pheasant tail fans held high, as well as four vermillion lacquer fans, followed by a number of wooden signs.

To the front, back, left and right are the guards, retinues, and ceremonial guards of the Prince of Jin's Marriage Office and Zhang Neifu.

Along the way, all passers-by and officials gave way.

This allowed Li Xuan to finally enjoy the privileges of a prince.

The palace of Prince Jin was also filled with joy.

After all the slaves saluted Li Xuan, they quickly started working.

In the evening, Li Xuan and Li Baoding sat together to eat the five-spicy dish, which is composed of five spicy vegetables, in order to dispel the staleness in people's five internal organs, as well as glue teeth, cypress wine, etc.

A large table with a variety of food.

After eating, the whole city of Chang'an really started to get lively. Sitting in the palace, Li Xuan could hear the screams and laughter outside.

Li Baoding was also standing at the door, looking with interest on his face.

In the palace, for unknown reasons, thirteen boys with ferocious masks and red and black clothes appeared, playing drums and dancing.

Li Xuan also knew about this strange custom. During the Chinese New Year in Lijiazhuang, Li Kun's monkeys would do it all over the village in the middle of the night. It was commonly known as Da Nuo, and it was said that it could drive away the plague.

In the courtyard, a large fire was lit, and the servants threw bamboos into it. These were real firecrackers.

At midnight, bells and drums were ringing in the street, and Li Chang and a group of servants of the royal palace presented Li Xuan with gifts and spoke full of blessings and auspicious words.

From then on, Li Xuan became one year older!

The next day, starting from the morning, people in the entire Chang'an City visited everywhere and ate wherever they went. On the first day, the Jin Palace was crowded with people.

Among them, the biggest culprit was Li Yuan, the old man, who led a group of people, many of whom were sisters whom Li Xuan had never met or heard of, as well as a group of princes-in-law and captains, all of whom were powerful officials.

The powerful officials in the Tang Dynasty gave Li Xuan a lot of experience.

Li Xuan finally understood why the Li family, surrounded by those aristocratic families, could still firmly control most of the political affairs of the Tang Dynasty.

However, after just one day's work, Li Xuan couldn't stand it anymore.

"Your Majesty, you finally returned to the palace to live, why not stay for a few more days and then go back to Lijiazhuang!"

In the main hall of the palace, Li Chang had a sad face and begged again and again.

"If I stay here any longer, I'm afraid you will all be paralyzed from exhaustion!"

Li Xuan refused repeatedly.

"No matter how tired I am of being able to serve the king, I will always be filled with joy!" Li Chang said.

"But I can't bear it, and I still expect you to take care of the palace for me!"

Li Xuan looked distressed.

"Your Majesty, the little people feel happy when they see your Majesty in the house!" Li Chang said quickly.

"No, you won't!" Li Xuan said quickly.

Then, while Li Chang's face was filled with shock, he waved his hand.

"Okay, okay, originally I just wanted to stay at my house for one night, but you, an old guy, grabbed me and forced me to stay for two nights. I have to go back today!"

"Your Majesty..."

"Hurry and prepare your car!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang sighed helplessly and walked out.

Then, within a moment, Li Chang came back again.

"Your Majesty, the chariot is ready!"

"Um!"

Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction. Although this old man often taught him how to do things, he really followed his orders to the letter.

After leaving the palace gate, Li Xuan couldn't help but be startled.

"Why four carriages?"

"Go back to your Majesty, I have prepared some snacks for you!" Li Chang replied with his hand in hand.

"Then it doesn't take three carriages, right?"

Li Xuan asked.

"Your Majesty, there are still some clothes!" Li Chang said.

"Just leave the clothes in the palace and bring them to Lijiazhuang. I don't know how to wear them. When I need them, you can just send someone to deliver them!!"

When he heard it was clothes, Li Xuan understood.

How many pieces of clothing does a prince have? He has learned in the past two days that there are different clothes for every occasion, and even different belts and accessories.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Li Chang waved his hand quickly, and instantly there were two carriages missing.

Then, surrounded by a group of royal guards, the group headed for Lijiazhuang.

"Aye, why do you have to leave in such a hurry?"

When he came out of the city gate, Li Baoding in the car couldn't help but ask his doubts.

"How do you like the large number of people who came to the palace yesterday?" Li Xuan said.

"dislike!"

Thinking of yesterday's scene, Li Baoding couldn't help but shudder and replied quickly.

As a junior, no matter who comes, he has to greet everyone one by one. The whole day yesterday was Li Baoding's nightmare.
