"Hey, isn't this the third brother? Why are you here?" Li Chengqian turned his head and saw the confused Li Ke, and couldn't help but said happily.
"My younger brother is naturally here to report on the preparations for the city's entry ceremony, but your elder brothers..."
Cheng Chubi chuckled and looked at the prince who was good at ribs. Although he was still thin, he was no longer as thin as before, with ribs and a washboard.
Nowadays, the flesh on His Highness the Prince's body has begun to become firmer, and while losing fat, he has also gained a lot of muscle.
Nowadays, he has gained almost ten kilograms, but his body shape is not much different from before. After all, fat only takes up space but is very insignificant.
Li Chengqian was still not used to being naked around others, so he tried hard to cover his upper body with fur clothes. After all, standing with Brother Chu Bi, the contrast was too strong.
Cheng Chubi wiped the sweat from his body. In such weather, it was really refreshing to sweat after practicing.
"Of course I am exercising to make His Highness stronger and prepare for the ceremony of entering the city."
"Why, do you want to play a few tricks..." Cheng Chubi lowered his head and swept left and right, lifted up the barb that Li Chengqian had practiced with one hand and easily passed it horizontally to Li Ke.
Li Ke looked at the wooden stick as thick as his wrist and the stone pulleys at both ends with a dark look on his face. He felt bad.
His head was shaking like a drum. "There's no need for this. I'm here for serious business, little brother."
"Tsk, you make it sound like what your brother and I are doing is not serious." Cheng Chubi glared at the coward unhappily and put the barbell down casually.
He was so relaxed and freehand that Li Ke was speechless. "Brother Chu Bi is worthy of being a member of the Wu family. I am impressed by his strength."
Soon, the three of them returned to the room where the copper stove was burning. The warm and comfortable air made Li Ke finally feel better.
At this time, he saw his eldest brother taking off his fur, and then he saw clearly that his exposed upper body indeed had more muscular outlines.
"My dear, is this still the powerless brother I know?" Li Ke exclaimed in disbelief.
Li Chengqian smiled a little shyly, feeling secretly proud in his heart, well, Brother Chu Bi once said, this is called wearing clothes to look thin and taking off clothes to make you look fat.
"Well, I don't know if I can tie a cock, but your brother will definitely have no problem tying you now."
Cheng Chubi took the steaming wet towel from the eunuch and wiped his sweat while saying happily.
"Brother Chu Bi, can you say something humane?" Li Ke glared at Brother Chu Bi who liked to talk nonsense unhappily.
Li Chengqian shook his head in confusion. Brother Chu Bi's dirty talk will always come out from angles you can't imagine.
"Okay, okay, third brother, please sit down quickly. Come on, have something to drink to warm yourself up. I didn't expect you to come over today."
"Brother, if I don't come over today, it will be too late... There are only five days left before New Year's Day."
"Many things are almost ready, so I will rush over to discuss it with you..."
After a while, Yu Zhining, who received the news, also rushed over, and the four of them gathered in the room.
While drinking hot tea, we started discussing the details of the city entrance ceremony. Everything was almost ready in an orderly manner, and we were just waiting for the big show to begin.
This time, Li Ke did not stay overnight to enjoy the hot springs and delicious food. Instead, he quietly left Tangquan Palace after discussion.
In the days that followed, the more than one million books from Jinyang Printing House began to be quietly transported to private houses or villas outside Jiumen in Chang'an.
A large number of human-powered carts and even ox-drawn carts around Chang'an have been booked several days in advance.
As long as they wait until the first day of New Year's Day, they will rush to various gathering points to gather and prepare to ship goods.
The price given by the other party was several times the usual price for transporting goods for a day, plus the steward of Prince Wu's Mansion personally greeted him.
These drivers are naturally impatiently waiting for the arrival of New Year's Day, just in time to make a fortune.
Two days before New Year's Day, Li Chengqian also hid in a carriage lightly dressed in simple clothes, and then left Lishan Tangquan Palace.
In order to keep it secret, the group left Lishan Tangquan Palace at dusk, and when they arrived near Chang'an City, it was already midnight.
The group did not enter Chang'an, but went straight south under the guidance of the leader. Finally, in the early morning, when the sky was brightening.
Quietly settled in an imperial mansion located a few miles south of Chang'an City.
The elite troops from the East Palace under his command only left Lishan Tangquan Palace on the first day of New Year's Day and quietly rushed to the surrounding areas of Chang'an.
Children in private schools inside and outside Chang'an City have been told by their teachers that on New Year's Day, they will gather outside a certain city gate or somewhere inside the city, and the teachers will be waiting for them there.
As long as they act collectively on that day and have the courage to recite the "Three Character Classic", they will be able to obtain a complete set of "The Analects of Confucius", "The Thousand Character Classic" and "The Three Character Classic".
This makes most of the private school children extremely excited and can't wait for the arrival of New Year's Day.

After dinner, the whole palace was in a commotion, not only the leaders of the East Palace, but many of them were divided into other sects.
But there are still 600 people staying here, and there are 300 people in Zuo Nei rate alone.
At this moment, in a large room deep in the Imperial Mansion, there is a map of Chang'an City on the ground.
Cheng Chubi was gesticulating with a long pole in his hand, spittle flying everywhere.
Standing around were, in addition to the Crown Prince, King Wu Li Ke, and Yu Zhining, there was also Zhao Kun, the head of the personal bodyguard of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, I have also arrived on His Majesty's order. Of course, I was ordered to come and see what kind of trouble Cheng Sanlangxi is going to make during this entrance ceremony. Of course, Zhu Lv's generals are also indispensable.
So a dozen or so people were summoned here tonight, and the ministers of the Eastern Palace were a bit confused at this moment.
"The other eight gates each have one hundred elite soldiers from the East Palace. And inside and outside each city gate, it is estimated that there can be about one hundred to two hundred private school students, plus each gate will have fifty cars..."
"The most important ones are concentrated in the three city gates in the south of Chang'an, Anhua Gate, Mingde Gate and Qixia Gate, each with sixty cars."
"At noon tomorrow, all the elite convoys outside the Nine Gates will enter Chang'an City at the same time. His Royal Highness, as well as Chen He and Yu Zhanshi, will enter through the Mingde Gate."
"All convoys need to arrive at the Zhuque Gate in half an hour to gather at the same speed as the convoys at other gates.
It can be slightly slower, but the speed of Anhua Gate, Mingde Gate and Qixia Gate will be faster rather than slower..."
Here Cheng Chubi was spitting and talking, and beside him there was a scribe brought by Zhao Kun who was recording quickly.
