Li Tai got on the carriage, punched the seat, and cursed: "Damn it! What should we do now? The emperor will definitely tell the father about this."
He had been pretending to be very well-behaved in front of Li Shimin. If Li Shimin knew about this, he would be in trouble.
"Your Highness, we can only take a preemptive strike now." Han Wen said.
Li Lizhi's presence here exceeded his expectations.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Han Wen leaned into Li Tai's ear and whispered.
After hearing this, Li Tai's eyes lit up and he said, "That's it."
…
When Li Chengqian saw Lin Xuan and the others coming back, he quickly asked: "Lin Xuan, Qingque didn't embarrass you, right?"
Lin Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the princess came quickly, and His Royal Highness King Wei has already left."
"Qingque actually wants to take it by force. I'll tell my father when I get back soon." Li Chengqian said angrily.
Li Lizhi glanced at Lin Xuan anxiously. Although she was also a little angry with Li Tai, Li Tai was her brother after all, and she didn't want Li Chengqian and Li Tai to get into trouble.
Lin Xuan gave her a reassuring look and said: "Your Highness, it's better not to tell His Majesty this matter. After all, you are the brother of King Wei. If you complain, it will only cause His Majesty's displeasure."
If Li Chengqian files a complaint, all his hard work during this period will be in vain.
"Then let this matter go? What will you do if he makes things difficult for you next time?" Li Chengqian said.
He has calmed down now and knows that it is not good for him to complain.
Lin Xuan smiled, it was impossible for Li Tai to come again.
There is a member of Li Shimin in Liuli Pavilion. It is impossible for Li Shimin not to pay attention to it. It is impossible for Li Shimin to hide what happens here.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will be able to handle it if King Wei comes again." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
He thought about telling Li Chengqian and the others that Li Shimin was involved in Liuli Pavilion.
But Li Shimin didn't say anything, and he couldn't say it first. Who knows if Li Shimin has other plans.
"Okay, if you can't handle it, you must send someone to inform me." Li Chengqian said worriedly.
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "Don't worry, your highness, it's almost noon now, why don't you invite your highness and the princess to have dinner at Keyun Tower?"
Li Chengqian thought for a while and said, "I won't eat anymore. I still have things to deal with, so I went back with Li Zhi first."
Although Empress Changsun acquiesced to him bringing Li Lizhi out, it would not be good for him to stay for a long time.
Lin Xuan glanced at Li Lizhi with some reluctance and said, "Okay then, I will send His Highness and the Princess off."
Although Li Lizhi wanted to stay with Lin Xuan for a while, she was embarrassed to speak due to the thin skin of girls and some rules and concepts.
Lin Xuan and his party came downstairs. Because there were too many people in the hall, Lin Xuan sent them out through the back door.
Li Lizhi glanced at Lin Xuan affectionately, and with the help of the maid, she got into the carriage.
"Okay, you go and do your work. I'm leaving first." Li Chengqian waved his hand and got on the carriage.
"My lord, I would like to send you to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Changle!" Lin Xuan and Cheng Chuliang bowed and saluted.
Tick tick tick…
Lin Xuan watched the guards driving the carriage and slowly walked away.
"Brother Lin, it's almost time to come to your senses. The carriage is no longer visible." Cheng Chuliang reminded.
Lin Xuan came back to his senses, glared at Cheng Chuliang, and said angrily: "You can't have a sharp eye. What were you doing there just now?"
"Brother Lin, you can't blame me. I was so surprised that I didn't react." Cheng Chuliang said aggrievedly.
Little did he know that Lin Xuan was so brave and dared to touch the princess.
"Okay, I wrongly blamed you. Originally, I wanted to tell Princess Changle to bring Princess Qinghe out next time, but now it seems that you don't need it at all." After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he turned and walked towards Liuli Pavilion.
Cheng Chuliang quickly grabbed Lin Xuan and said, "No, I was wrong. I'll treat you at noon today!"
Although he and Princess Qinghe have met, they have never spoken alone.
Watching Lin Xuan hold Princess Changle's hand today, I really envy him.
Princess Qinghe's mother was just an unpopular concubine.
Therefore, Princess Qinghe's life in the palace is not easy. If Princess Changle can help take care of her, Princess Qinghe's life in the palace will be easier.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Okay, I'll let you treat me at noon today."
Cheng Chuliang asked quickly: "What about Princess Qinghe?"
Lin Xuan opened Cheng Chuliang's hand and said as he walked: "Then it depends on where you treat me to dinner at noon."
"Hey, don't leave!" Cheng Chuliang hurriedly chased after him.
…
"Your Majesty, this is what happened." Li Mu told Li Shimin exactly what happened in Liuli Pavilion.
Li Shimin signaled Li Mu to step back, tapped his fingers on the table, and began to think deeply.
It seems that the family wants to borrow Li Tai's hand to get the method of making colored glaze.
However, Liuli Pavilion has just opened now, so the family may not have reacted yet, and Han Wen must have done it on his own initiative.
He didn't know if Li Tai was bewitched or if he had this idea himself.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the King of Wei wishes to see you!" Li Mu's voice interrupted Li Shimin's thinking.
Li Shimin came to his senses and said, "Let him come in."
Not long after, Li Tai walked in sweating profusely.
"My son, please see your father!"
"Get up quickly, look at how sweaty you are, why are you walking in such a hurry?" Li Shimin said with concern.
Li Tai said: "Father, I have something important to report."
Li Shimin asked Li Mu to move a bench for Li Tai and said, "Oh? Qing Que has something to tell me."
Li Tai bowed to thank him, then sat down and said, "Father, Marquis Jingyang actually knows how to make colored glaze. My son wanted him to hand over the method, but he was unwilling to hand it over."
"Since someone else made it, why should they hand it over?" Li Shimin glanced at Li Tai and said calmly.
"Father, that is Liuli. If it is in the hands of the royal family, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be able to earn a lot more every year, and my mother will never have to worry about money again." Li Tai said.
All the royal palaces and businesses of the royal family are under the jurisdiction of the House of Internal Affairs, which is in charge of Empress Changsun.
All expenses of the royal family and clan expenses are paid by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In these years, the national treasury was empty, and Li Shimin often sent money to the national treasury from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
As a result, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was unable to provide for the daily expenses of the royal family.
Empress Changsun had no choice but to reduce the daily expenses of the royal family.
In order to take the lead, Empress Changsun didn't buy any new clothes for three years.
Now because of Lin Xuan's ideas, the treasury has improved a lot, but the treasury cannot return the money previously allocated.
From the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the national treasury, ministers would praise Li Shimin as a wise king.
Once Li Shimin wants to transfer funds from the national treasury to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Wei Zheng will definitely step out to stop it if no one else tells him.
Li Tai believed that Li Shimin would be moved by what he said.
"If I snatch something made by others, what will the civil and military officials of the court think of me?" Li Shimin said with some worry.
Seeing that Li Shimin was really moved, Li Tai was overjoyed and said, "Father, I also know that this will harm my father's wisdom, so I did it, but the emperor stopped me."
"Li Zhi has been given a marriage to Lin Xuan by me. If you go to rob Lin Xuan's things, you are robbing her. Of course she won't want to." Li Shimin said.
Li Tai said solemnly: "Father, these sons and ministers all know, but the method of making colored glaze is of great importance to the royal family. If the father cannot come forward, the sons and ministers will do it, and those ministers cannot impeach the emperor. The method of making colored glaze
, being in the hands of my son is equivalent to being in the hands of my father. For the sake of the royal family, my son is willing to bear this infamy."
"Then why are you here to see me?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Tai said: "I want my father to issue a decree not to let the imperial sister leave the palace during the recent period. I will wait until I get the method of making colored glaze before lifting the decree."
This was the idea that Han Wen gave him. Once the method is obtained, it is not up to him to decide how many to make.
Li Shimin pretended to think about it and said: "Lin Xuan will be the prince-in-law from now on. I believe he has a great sense of the overall situation. Let's do this. I'll ask Lin Xuan first to see if he is willing to hand over the method of making colored glaze.
talk later."
"Father, I have asked before and he is not willing to hand it over." Li Tai became anxious after hearing this. If Lin Xuan handed it over, what would happen to him?
Li Shimin said with a smile: "It's okay. It's okay for me to ask first. In war, it is important to be polite before fighting. You can go back first."
Seeing this, Li Tai had no choice but to say: "Father, my son, please leave."
Li Shimin looked at Li Tai's leaving figure, full of disappointment.
He could accept ambition. After all, he was born in an imperial family. He wouldn't believe anyone who said he didn't have any ambition for that position.
But he loves Li Tai so much that Li Tai wants to lie to him.
He knew the whole story, and Li Tai's tricks couldn't deceive him at all.
