"I am thanking the prince for his kindness on behalf of Xiao," said Princess Xiangcheng, after saying that, immediately knelt down on the ground and gave a big gift to Li Chengqian, who was sitting in the upper head.

"Sister, what are you doing? Changsun, please sit down." Li Chengqian panickedly asked Changsun Yue to step forward and help him up, and he also stood up and walked down the steps and sat opposite his sister.

"Sister, in the ninth year of Wude, the father's first ascended the great treasure, the country's affairs were not going well, and the court was unstable, so he had to marry you to the Xiao family in exchange for Xiao Yu's strong support. I know that you haven't returned to the palace for so many years because of resentment.

Fortunately, you and your brother-in-law are in harmony with your brother-in-law. Now that you have abide by the rules, this slightly reduces your father's guilt. You know that he can't say such things, so you can only have a younger brother to do it for you."

Li Chengqian's words hit Princess Xiangcheng's already broken heart heavily. As her younger brother said, she has been resentful of the emperor over the years.

She didn't understand that even if she was not a legitimate child, she was the eldest daughter of the emperor. Isn't the status noble enough? Why did she become a victim of the powerful and powerful prisoner? When Tuyuhun invaded, she envied her aunts and sisters because there was finally someone in the Li family willing to stand up and speak for their royal supplements.

She knew that the reason why Li Chengqian brought the emperor out was to give her a favorable face. In fact, since the day she got married, she really understood what it was like to add all the kingly lands in the world, and whether the kingly lands in the boundaries of the earth was a kingly minister.

"No matter what, it's because of Dalang. My sister has thanked you for your kindness." Princess Xiangcheng looked at her younger brother with a swaying face. Who would have thought that the baby who had pestered her for candy a few years ago, but now she has grown up with her cultivation as the only big tree she can rely on.

After hearing the words of Princess Xiangcheng, Li Chengqian waved his hands repeatedly: "Sister, you are polite. The Lantern Festival is approaching, and I can help my mother take good care of it. This year, unlike in the past, many neighboring countries have written letters to pay their respects, and the father also wants to take this opportunity to show them the style of the Celestial Empire."

"Okay, since that's the case, my sister will go to Lizheng Hall to meet her mother." Princess Xiangcheng was still grateful to Empress Changsun, who had always regarded her as her own.

Although Li Chengqian did not agree with the emperor's extravagance and waste, he had no choice but to be a scheming person like Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda who also highly agreed with this method of promoting national strength and national prestige. What can he do? Just spend it, it's not spending his own money anyway...

"Your Highness Gao Yi, the old minister really didn't expect you to bring Princess Xiangcheng and her son into the East Palace. This is called a timely help and deep love. Look at the Xiao family's daily lives, and they are all from the world's nobles. But now, there are so many families, alas."

Although Zhang Xuansu is not in dealing with Xiao Yu on weekdays, he still disdains that he is as snobbish as Xiao Yu's disciples. Who has not had any ups and downs in his life? Oh, the guy who talks about etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame all day long is simply a scum of scholars.

Looking at Zhang Xuansu's resentment, Changsun Wuji took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The world is getting worse and worse, and people's hearts are not as good as ever. This officialdom is a world of fame and fortune. The reason why they defect to Xiao Yu was just to set up a ladder for their career and use his connections to make themselves step by step.

It is reasonable to say that it is to abandon Xiao Yu. After all, there is no righteousness between them and Xiao Yu, only the illusory master and disciple. Do you think that the teacher they named for themselves can make a lifelong wealth? However, His Majesty is definitely very happy to do this today."

Changsun Wuji said it thoroughly. The world is bustling with people for profit, and the world is bustling with people for profit. Since they are so humble to serve Xiao Yu, such a weird-tempered old man, naturally they have some intentions. What else can these young men who are not capable do besides flattering?

"Xiao Yu is Xiao Yu, Xiao Rui is Xiao Rui. Although his ability is not [new], he has been good to his sister over the years. Even if I do this, I will give him a blessing."

Speaking of his brother-in-law Li Chengqian, I remember that when the emperor gave them a marriage, he said: "He is strong and virtuous, and has kind nature." To put it bluntly, this kid is a good old man."

However, his enthusiasm for his wife is really nothing to say. Otherwise, Xiangcheng would not have been able to stay in a good princess's mansion and insisted on moving to Xiao's mansion to serve his parents for him. Besides, he was not all due to his ability to become the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. His beautiful official script was highly praised by the emperor. Even Chu Suiliang's calligraphy often talked with him, and it was said to be a temporary beautiful story.

"Okay, let's not talk about these trivial matters. You know, the Lantern Festival is coming soon. My father decided to hold a banquet at Qingshan Palace to entertain meritorious officials and envoys from all countries.

All the civil and military officials in the East Palace have also been busy with me for a year, and it has been hard work. But how to reward them really hurt me. I would like to invite my uncle and master today for this matter. I wonder what are the two of you who have great ideas?"

The emperor was preparing to reward civil and military officials. If he, the prince, didn't give him some thoughts, would be unbearable. But these people under his command were well treated, and if he only rewarded some money, it would inevitably seem a bit cliché.

This is what Changsun Wuji and the other two asked, according to the old customs of the past, the New Year holiday was nothing more than rewarding some gold, silver, wine and meat. The Eastern Palace's civil and military life was rich, so such things naturally could not catch their eyes, let alone the prince who pursued the ultimate everywhere.

"Haha... Your Highness, everything was good when life was difficult. I remember that in the first year of Zhenguan, I only gave everyone a bowl of meat.

But now the rewards and silver rewards can’t satisfy the little guys’ hearts. The old minister thought it would be better to give them a drink and forget that they wouldn’t worry about my husband’s inventory every day.”

In this era when the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties was prevalent, wine and Wushisan were the favorites of the nobles, and Li Chengqian's subordinates were almost all Liu Ling's children. It was a pleasure to let them drink all the fine wines hidden in the palace. There was also an old man who joked, which was a pun. One end said the "monkeys" who often asked him for fine wine, and the other end was the uncle of the current dynasty opposite him.

Cough cough... Changsun Wuji, who had a little coughing, stroking his beard and said, "Your Highness, I think it's better to use some gold and silver to make some signs, engrave names, official positions and achievements to remember their achievements so that they can pass on to future generations. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
