Chapter 441 Princess House
Miaoyuan and Li'er entered the room noisy, and Li Zhang and the other two showed surprise when they saw her. After all, Miaoyuan was a princess and it was impossible for him to leave the palace at all, let alone come to Li Zhang's house.
"You didn't sneak out again, right?" Li Zhang suddenly thought of a possibility, and his face darkened and asked Miao Yuan. This girl was getting braver. Judging from what Zhao Zhen said, it seemed that even Liu E couldn't do anything to her.
"Of course not. I have a legitimate reason to leave the palace. Let's take a look at my little niece!" Miaoyuan said carelessly. After saying that, she greeted Qingzhi, and then came to Li Zhang to look at An Ran. It was probably the first time she had come into contact with a child so close. At this time, she wanted to hug her but didn't dare to hug her, because seeing Xiao An Ran's white and tender appearance, she was really afraid that she would break the little guy if she touched her.
"Cousin, can I hug you? I have never hugged a child before?" Miaoyuan was struggling for a while, and finally didn't ask Li Zhang. Instead, he turned his head and asked Qingori next to him.
"Husband, let Miaoyuan hug you!" Qingzhi nodded and agreed. After all, Miaoyuan was already an adult, and she was not afraid that she would throw her daughter.
Li Zhang did not refuse at this time. He immediately reached out and put the child in Miaoyuan's hand. As a result, she also showed a novel and excited expression. She took the child stiffly with her arms, trying to use force but not daring to use force. Now she looked like a duck protecting food.
"Relax your arms, don't be too stiff." Qingzhi stepped forward and taught Miaoyuan how to hold the child. Li Zhang also took the initiative to retreat aside, mainly because he felt a little guilty, especially when Miaoyuan and Qingzhi were together, he had the urge to escape.
"By the way, Miaoyuan, you haven't told me why you left the palace. The Empress Dowager and Your Majesty agreed?" Qingzhi asked naturally at this time. She was still very grateful to Miaoyuan. If it weren't for Miaoyuan's help, she and Li Zhang would not have been able to get married smoothly, let alone today.
"Of course I agree. I am already an adult and can't always live in the palace, so I plan to move out, so I asked my elder brother to build a princess mansion for me. I have already chosen the place." Miaoyuan hugged An Ran and said while teasing the little guy.
"You are going to move out of the palace? Are you thinking about getting married after being ill? "Li Zhang couldn't help but step forward when he heard Miaoyuan's words. He just thought that Miaoyuan was going to get married, a bit of complex emotions suddenly emerged in his heart.
"Cousin, you seem to want me to get married?" Miao Yuan asked with his eyes staring at Li Zhang.
"No, I... I just care about you, and the princesses in our Song Dynasty can only live in the princess's mansion after getting married?" Li Zhang also waved his hand and explained when he heard this. Princesses are different from princes. Princesses usually leave the palace for a long time to live on their own, but princesses usually wait until they get married before the court rewards them with the princess' mansion to live.
"The rules are dead. Who said that a princess can't leave the palace if she doesn't get married? I insist on living outside the palace!" Miao Yuan said very willfully at this time.
Li Zhang was speechless when he heard this, and at the same time, he finally realized that he didn't need to ask, it was Zhao Zhen, a good man who couldn't resist Miao Yuan's soft and toughness. As a result, he ignored the rules in the palace and agreed to Miao Yuan leave the palace to live and build a princess's mansion. I guess not many people know about it now, otherwise the ministers in the court would definitely make a fuss.
"Hmph, just move, just move, but why move near our house?" At this time, Li'er suddenly snorted coldly and said unhappily. She and Miao Yuan seemed to be in conflict with each other and quarreled when they met. She happened to go to the front yard just now, but they met Miao Yuan. The two of them quarreled from beginning to end, but she also knew a lot about Miao Yuan.
"Move to our neighborhood?" Li Zhang and Qingori shouted in surprise when they heard Li'er's words. Then they also looked at Miaoyuan, their eyes full of questioning.
"Yes, it's diagonally opposite your house. It was originally my eighth uncle's house, but now he gave it to me as a princess's house!" Miao Yuan said excitedly. In fact, the reason why she could convince Zhao Zhen was that in addition to pestering her, the most important thing was that she asked to move to the vicinity of Li Zhang's house. Out of trust in Li Zhang, Zhao Zhen felt that he was watching with Li Zhang, and he was not afraid that Miao Yuan would not be taken care of, so he reluctantly agreed.
"It's the house opposite the Huyan family." Li Zhang also remembered this and said, "There is a mansion opposite the Huyan family. Although there are people taking care of them, no one is living there. Li Zhang didn't pay much attention to it, but he didn't expect it to be Zhao Yuanyan's house. However, as his prince, he must have a lot of industries in Tokyo. A mansion is really nothing.
"That's great. From now on, Miaoyuan, you live opposite me and you can come to your house often. I also have many people to talk to." Qingori said happily when he heard this.
"Sister-in-law, I can just talk to you, what else do outsiders do?" Li'er said very unhappy. She felt unhappy when she saw Miaoyuan. It was okay before, but the other party lived in the palace and couldn't get out, but now the other party often came to her house.
"Li'er, don't mess around!" Li Zhang heard that Li'er was a little distorted and immediately glared. Although Li'er was a little willful, she still listened to Li Zhang very much. At this time, she pouted and sulked. However, Qingori walked over to comfort Li'er.
Li Zhang didn't care about Li'er, but looked at Miaoyuan again and asked, "If you want to move outside the palace, I'm afraid only His Majesty agrees. The Empress Dowager's illness has not yet been cured, so he may not care about you, but when the Empress Dowager's illness is better, I'm afraid you won't think about going out."
"Then don't worry, my elder brother agrees anyway. I'll build the princess's mansion first, and I'll be able to move here one day." Miao Yuan immediately spoke again.
Li Zhang finally understood after hearing this. It was probably because Zhao Zhen was pestered by her, so he agreed to build Princess Miaoyuan's mansion. However, even if there is a ready-made mansion, it will definitely be repaired or even rebuilt. It will definitely take a lot of time. Maybe Liu E's illness has been cured by then. With Liu E's temper, she will definitely not agree. Miaoyuan may be happy at that time.
"By the way, how is the Empress Dowager's health?" Li Zhang asked again. During this period, his main energy was still on martial arts, and he stayed at home for the rest of his time, unless Zhao Zhen summoned him into the palace, so he only knew that Liu E's health was improving, but he didn't know how much it had improved.
"It's much better. Yesterday I helped the Grandma walk in the hall, and the Grandma's appetite has improved a lot. Now I can eat and sleep. The imperial doctor said that in one or two months, the Grandma's body should be almost recovered." Miao Yuan said happily at this time. Although Liu E was very strict with her, she actually knew that Liu E was thinking about her, so the relationship between the two was actually very deep.
"It's fine!" Li Zhang also said softly, but although he said that, he was a little worried. As Liu E's body recovered, she would definitely announce the matter of going to the Taimiao to worship her ancestors. The ministers in the court would definitely oppose it firmly, but Liu E would definitely not retreat. Then there would be another big storm.
However, Li Zhang didn't care about the Taimiao incident, and even Zhao Zhen didn't care about it. It depends on Liu E and the ministers fighting each other. Whoever could win would support them. Of course, in Li Zhang's opinion, as long as Liu E didn't publicly proclaim her emperor, it didn't matter if she used these tricks.
Miaoyuan stayed at Li Zhang's house all day, and had dinner with Li Zhang and his wife at noon. Li'er didn't like her, so she simply ran out of her room and didn't come out. Miaoyuan didn't care. Instead, she was very happy to chat with Xiuxiu and others. I wonder if she was angry with Li'er on purpose?
The next morning, Li Zhang discovered that a group of craftsmen came from the future Princess Mansion diagonally opposite, and then under the command of several officials, he began to busy the mansion. In fact, although the mansion was uninhabited, it was well maintained. However, the Princess Mansion has its own specifications, so some places need to be demolished and rebuilt, while some places need to be modified.
However, just as the princess's mansion was first built, Liu E in the palace finally began to re-handle the government affairs. Zhao Zhen retreated to the palace again. Just when Liu E summoned Lu Yijian and others for the first time after she was sick, she finally publicly announced that she would go to Taizu to worship her ancestors.
