"The candles are a bit expensive. Let Mr. Yuan and the others look for them. There may be unexpected surprises." Li Yuanying blinked at Yuan Tiangang, looked at Princess Jinyang, and said with a smile.
Yu Shinan lowered his head and drank to hide the smile in his eyes. Prince Teng's mischievous personality far outweighed the disadvantages for Datang. His Majesty's pampering and pampering was the best choice.
"You!" Li Shimin laughed dumbly. If you are a gentleman, it is never too late to take revenge in ten years, or even in your ninth life. This guy can take revenge in just one day, naughty! "Be careful to make Mr. Yuan angry, I won't spare you."
Princess Jinyang blinked, picked up the wine bottle in Li Shimin's hand, walked to Yuan Tiangang, helped him fill the wine glass, and said softly and cutely: "Mr. Yuan, I want to see the bright lights in Chang'an at night, can you help me find it?" What better way than candles?”
Li Yuanying laughed and fell down on the low couch. The little Sizi was so awesome, hahahaha...
Li Shimin: "..."
You idiot, are you afraid that Mr. Yuan doesn't know it's your idea? !
Yu Shinan bowed his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Princess Jinyang is as smart as a mother. She is truly a blessing to Your Majesty and a blessing to the Tang Dynasty!"
Queen Changsun is really virtuous, but she was also smart and narrow-minded when she was a child. What's more, I can write about Inoue's new peach secretive complexion and the tender willow beside the eaves. How can a queen who comes to watch the dancing butterflies in the flowers and listens to the singing of orioles in the trees be just virtuous? If he was just magnanimous and virtuous, His Majesty would not have allowed him to become a confidant and miss me so much.
"Bo Shi, don't praise her like that. The little girl has learned some exquisite naughtiness from Prince Teng." Li Shimin said that he was upright, and the smile on his face was bright and dazzling.
Yuan Tiangang lowered his body, picked up the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, and said with a warm smile: "Thank you princess for the wine. I will do my best to let the princess see the brightly lit night in Chang'an as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Mr. Yuan~" Princess Jinyang left with the wine flask satisfied, returned to Li Shimin, helped him fill the wine glass, and said with a smile, "Aye, Mr. Yuan is kind~"
Li Shimin picked up the wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, and said with a soft smile: "As long as Sizi likes it, when he gets through this disaster, you can learn stargazing from him, it will be very interesting too."
Princess Jinyang nodded and did not continue to ask what the disaster was. Uncle said that when Aye said something, just listen and remember it, without asking for details. Because if you need to know the details, you don’t need to ask, Aye will tell me~
The illusion performance went to a more fantasy place. In the plum garden, colorful butterflies fluttered, hundreds of birds chirped, peonies and peonies grew on the ground, blooming together in an instant, and the spring scene reappeared. Two phoenix birds flew toward the window, and the painting was printed with gold silk on the window, forming a large nest of phoenixes pierced by peonies.
"A hundred pieces of silk will be given to the performer!" Li Shimin smiled with satisfaction when he saw the pattern. Others are just playing fish and dragon. The younger brother made hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, with the phoenix piercing the peonies. It was really clever and would not scare the little girl Si Zi. In the past, when watching fish and dragon dramas, Si Zi would always be a little scared at the end, and her face would turn pale.
Not only did I not turn pale this time, I was also very happy.
"Wei." Zhang Ananda bowed and responded, then quietly exited to deliver the orally. Princess Jinyang is the person that His Majesty cares about most. It is the first time for him to reward illusion performers and accept Ping Kangli Xingshou into the teaching workshop.
When everyone was worried about whether the two Jiaofang dancers in Pingkangli might be admitted into the harem by His Majesty, an edict came down and the two dancers, together with ten other dancers, were sent to Prince Teng's palace.
Among the many speculations, only Yu Shinan guessed the truth: the princess stayed in Prince Teng's mansion most of the time, and her favorite dancers would of course follow her there.
The reason he could guess was simpler. He had been teaching for three days. He taught in the morning and danced with the princess in the afternoon. He was not the only one who accompanied the dance, but also Li Jing and Tang Jian. Cheng Zhijie had other things to do, so he could only come here occasionally.
Li Jing (Zhenguan) resigned in the eighth year to recuperate. Li Shimin allowed that his foot disease was slightly better. He could go to Zhongshu and Pingzhang every two or three days to attend to political affairs. In the ninth year, Tuyuhun invaded Liangzhou. When he heard that there was a big battle, he immediately became energetic. He took charge of the expedition.
It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and we marched all the way through ice and snow. In April, we started a war with Tuyuhun. The main force was wiped out in less than a month. In less than three months, Fushun, the son of King Fuyun of Tuyuhun, led the whole country to surrender. Fuyun hanged himself and died. Fushun was named. Khan, the prince of Xiping County, and Tuyuhun became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.
It was just that the foot disease became more serious after returning, and it took nearly a year for him to get better. It was changed to Zhongshu Pingzhang political affairs on the fifth day. There was no need to go in windy, rainy and cold weather unless summoned by Li Shimin. Now that he was working part-time as the Chief of the Teng Palace, he had made him a full-time official. Li Shimin didn't say anything. Who else would come to trouble him when they were full.
As for Tang Jian, he was eight years younger than Li Jing and was supposed to go to the office every day. However, it turned out that this guy was even more of a thief. He indulged in drinking and was not close to the directors. Later, he conspired with Zhang Chen, the governor of Yanzhou, to illegally collect his sheep. , was impeached by the censor and demoted to Guanglu doctor. Don't think that this official position is very low. He was properly promoted from the second rank and no longer held actual duties.
Otherwise, Li Shimin would not directly appoint him as Prince Teng's Fu: It's almost time to rest, and it's time to stretch out his muscles. Yu Boshi is almost eighty-one years old, and I haven't approved his resignation yet.
In the Tang Dynasty, the standard for those who did not have to pay taxes or work anymore at the age of sixty was the same as that of the previous dynasties. However, for the staff of each bureau, they were different from ordinary people and were divided according to the age of seventy. Tang Jian will have to work for at least ten more years before he can apply for retirement. Whether the emperor will allow it depends on his mood.
Anyway, Yu Shinan was still struggling, and being a tutor for the princess was already considered a break.
Tang Jian took the job honestly for no other reason than Li Shimin would not believe it at all if he knew about collecting sheep, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it. Compared with the four hundred vehicles and equipment, it was nothing more than drizzle.
"Maoyue, how did you come up with the idea of collecting sheep?" Yu Shinan asked after being very curious for two days.
Yan Liben and Li Yuanying, who were drawing drawings of the new lake at the painting desk, also looked over curiously. To be honest, everyone was very curious and just waiting for others to ask.
Tang Jian drank all the wine in the glass, held the wine glass between his fingers, and smiled lazily: "For no other reason, when I and Your Majesty were in Taiyuan, I often went to the north to catch sheep. The yellow sheep there are so delicious!"
Yu Shinan picked up the wine glass and drank silently: You shouldn't ask!
"No wonder you were able to escape so smoothly back then!" Li Jing picked up a piece of Xiao Ling Zhi... a dish made of sheep heart meat (you can only get four taels from a sheep) and magpie tongue as ingredients, and is made through complex processing procedures. , shook his head and sighed.
Tang Jian sat up straight and scolded with a smile: "Mr. Li, stop talking nonsense with me here! I can run out because I know that you will definitely not come on time. They say that I don't follow the rules. Except for Wei Xuancheng, you guys, Who abides by the rules? It’s not the first day I’ve met you, and I don’t know that you like to run thousands of miles to engage in annihilation battles. If you don’t run away, you’d be a fool!”
Yu Shinan: "..."
You are a very well-behaved person!
