With the support of his confidant Eunuch Li, the king of Wei, Li Tai, slowly walked down the steps, climbed onto the carriage, and swayed away.
Queen Changsun looked at Wei Wang Li Tai and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in confusion.
"Mother, you are frowning. Did your fourth brother make you angry?" Li Mingda held her mother's hand and asked in a low voice.
"That's not true, but little Sizi, do you think your fourth brother seems to be thinner than before?"
Li Mingda looked at the mountain of meat on the shoulder cart, and as the attendants marched, the shoulder cart swayed.
With every step, the mountain of meat would tremble, reminding Li Mingda of the soft and glutinous braised pork in his rice bowl.
Soon, Li Mingda shook his head vigorously.
No, no, braised pork is Brother Cheng's specialty. It's so spicy and tempting, but Brother Cheng is just fat and different.
Empress Changsun looked at her daughter in confusion, wondering what was going on with her, so she said to her mother, "Do you deserve to have such a big reaction?"
Li Mingda saw the look from his mother's eldest grandson, the Empress, and was very sure.
"Mom, fourth brother has always been so fat, okay? Where did he lose weight?"
"Well... my mother must have seen it wrong. Your fourth brother has indeed always been so fat."
After all, looking at the bent waists of the four strong and healthy attendants is enough to prove that Qingque's weight is still so stable.
However, the attentive Empress Changsun still felt that Qingque was a little different from the past.
He didn't seem to be in good spirits either. In addition, he was wearing new clothes made of luxurious materials that he liked most in the past.
But just now, Empress Changsun was able to confirm that Qingque was wearing old clothes from last summer.
It's really strange, but now that Qingque is an adult, it's hard for him to have to control such small things.
Besides, as a child of the royal family, if you can know how to be frugal, this is also a good thing, and your husband will be very happy.

General Cheng turned over and jumped off his horse, shouting with excitement on his face.
"Everyone who is coming, please come out to me..." Upon hearing the greeting from his eldest father, a group of people immediately jumped out of the Duke Lu's mansion.
Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, also jumped out. "What are your orders, sir?"
"His Majesty's reward, as well as the reward from the East Palace, have arrived. You should hurry up and greet them. By the way, please bring in more manpower."
"Master, have you made meritorious deeds again?" Upon hearing this, the rich uncle, the housekeeper, couldn't help but look happy.
I saw General Cheng caressing his thick beard like a steel needle with a kind look on his face and laughed happily.
"That's not true. It's Saburo who has made another meritorious deed, and made a contribution to rescuing him in Jiucheng Palace."
"That kid not only made a great contribution, but also made a fortune, hahahaha..."
Hearing his master's bold and hearty laughter, the entire Cheng family couldn't help but smile with joy.
I saw the butler Cheng Fu leading a bunch of fat and strong Cheng family members towards the convoy.
Cheng Yaojin then happily walked into the house and went straight to the backyard.

In Mrs. Cui's house, there is a very beautiful and compact copper stove that is no more than the size of a palm.
In the copper stove, there are several pieces of bamboo charcoal, and above the stove, there is a copper kettle.
But inside the copper kettle, there is a beautiful bottle made of Western glaze floating in the copper kettle.
The water in the copper kettle covered most of the bottle and was slowly bubbling.
The mouth of the Western Regions glass bottle is not big, only two fingers wide, and it seems to be a mixture of oil and water.
With the warm and constant temperature of the bamboo charcoal, the indoor humidity is maintained in an environment that will not be overly dry.
In addition, the liquid in the Western Region glass bottle is evaporating slowly and steadily.
Let the room be filled with a fresh floral fragrance...
The maid on the side looked intoxicated by the smell, and Ms. Cui also felt relaxed and happy.
This was naturally the work of Cheng Sanlang. Seeing that his mother liked to stay in this study all day long, he designed such a beautiful incense for her.
Moreover, essential oils are used for incense, which can not only refresh the mind but also smell the tangy floral fragrance.
Ever since she started using this thing, the intellectual Cui fell in love with it and almost never touched the incense burner at home.
Moreover, these incense can be changed to different flavors every day, whether it is jasmine, mint, or osmanthus.
All the flowers that bloom around Chang'an City can be smelled in this study.
Mrs. Cui was just smelling the refreshing aroma, holding a pen, and was copying a scroll of bamboo slips from the Western Han Dynasty that she had just received.
While enjoying the fun of copying books, I heard familiar footsteps coming from outside the house.
Ms. Cui raised her lips slightly and put down the brush in her hand. As soon as she raised her head, she saw her husband walking into the house happily.
"My husband is so happy. Could it be that he has encountered some happy event?"
"Ha, what the lady said is true. It's a great joy. Our Sanlang has been promoted again, hehe...
This time, this guy did something in Jiucheng Palace again... Well, he did something big."
Mrs. Cui pursed her lips. "It seems that our Sanlang has made new achievements again, right?"
"Yes, Tuli Khan's son Heluo'u colluded with his uncle to plot to kill Your Majesty.
Our Sanlang killed the enemy in Jiucheng Palace and saved the lives of His Majesty and Princess Jinyang."
"Your Majesty's decree has been conveyed back to Chang'an, and Sanlang is appointed as a regular attendant with a reward of 20,000 yuan and 20,000 pieces of silk.
A BMW, a precious armor, ten precious swords, and a purple gold fish bag."
"The prince rewarded Saburo with 20,000 pieces of gold and 20,000 pieces of silk..."
"Kill the enemy and save the enemy..." Ms. Cui's bright and wise eyes widened behind her spectacles as she muttered.
"Why does it happen that every time Your Majesty returns to Jiucheng Palace, something unexpected happens?"
#####
Cheng Yaojin laughed happily. "Who says it's not the case, but having said that, that place is like our Sanlang's blessed land."
"Last time, after saving the Queen's life, I also saved Princess Jinyang and a prince."
"This time, I saved the lives of His Majesty and Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang."
"My husband also heard that when we were traveling west this time, those Turkic barbarians planned to attack at night several times, but our third son ruined their plans."
"Husband, how old is our Sanlang... Sanqi Changshi, he is the third rank."
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin immediately became happy, stroking his thick beard and said cheerfully.
"Madam, do you think our Saburo is the only one who likes to talk about things that are not serious? His Majesty would really let him serve at your side?"
After hearing her husband's words, Mrs. Cui thought of Sanlang's passion for chatting endlessly, raised her hand and stroked her forehead and said sweetly.
"...That's true. Besides, no one else can ask for such a shocking feat.
How come I, a mother, am worried that my child will be promoted too quickly?"
