"Brother Xiaoxuan, Changle is here to thank you! Thank you for rescuing me and Brother Taizi just now in the West Market! Changle... Changle has recently been learning women's red from Li'er and the others, and embroidered a piece for Brother Xiaoxuan and Sister Yuxi. As for the mandarin duck purse, don’t think Changle’s embroidery is not good-looking, it contains mint, clove, moxa leaf, and patchouli, which can not only remove dampness and heat, but also refresh the mind and benefit the brain!”
Outside Taiji Palace, near the arch bridge near Chengtian Gate, Changle hesitated for a moment after seeing Li Jing leave, then took out two white purses with embroidered patterns from his waist, handed them to Li Zexuan, and said with some embarrassment.
"Uh... Changle, I saved you and Cheng Qian out of friendship. Why do you bother to embroider these things?"
Li Zexuan felt that these two purses could not be collected. They were too ambiguous and could easily be misunderstood!
It's okay to misunderstand him, but if Changle is involved, the matter will be serious. After all, Changle is the princess of the Tang Dynasty. If someone misunderstands him and says that he has an unexplained relationship with the minister, Li Zexuan is sure, and Lao Li is sure I will hold a sword and chase him all over Chang'an!
Chang Le insisted: "That's right! It's precisely because Brother Xiaoxuan you regard Chang Le and Brother Prince as friends, so after being rescued by you, Chang Le had to thank you with all his heart! Also, this The two purses were not sewn by me right now. They had been sewn a few days ago. Brother Xiaoxuan, please accept them quickly. By the way, sister Yuxi can help me see where the embroidery is not good! Alas! When did Changle get it? If only my embroidery skills could be half as good as those of sister Yu Xi!"
After saying that, the little girl sighed regretfully, without showing any strange expression on her face. This made Li Zexuan couldn't help but wonder if he was being pretentious and overthinking before. He just gave away two purses. Innocently How could Changle have those unfounded feelings between men and women? If you think too much, you must be thinking too much!
"If that's the case, then I'll accept it!"
After convincing himself in his mind, it had been a long time since he saw Chang Le stretching out his hands. Li Zexuan quickly stepped forward, took the purse from Chang Le's hand, put it in front of his eyes and glanced at it, and saw that although the mandarin ducks on the purse could not be said to be lifelike, But at least she was presentable, which was quite difficult for an eight or nine-year-old girl, so he couldn't help but say:
"Haha! Changle, you are still young now, so there is no need to compete with anyone. When you grow up, your embroidery skills will definitely be unmatched by anyone!"
When Changle heard this, he immediately beamed with joy and said, "Really? Brother Xiaoxuan, could it be that you saw Changle's embroidery was ugly and deliberately tried to comfort Changle by being obedient?"
Li Zexuan said with a serious face: "How is this possible? It is very rare for you, Changle, to have such an outstanding embroidery skill at such a young age! Yu Xi is at your age, so I am afraid she is not as good as you in embroidery skills! But that said Come back, Changle, you are the Princess of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty’s favorite jewel, and you don’t need to delve too deeply into your embroidery skills!”
Changle was happy at first, and then couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "The Princess of the Tang Dynasty is also a woman, and she also has to support her husband and raise her children!"
She only dared to say these words in her heart. In reality, even if she had some courage, she would not dare to say it to Li Zexuan face to face.
"Okay! I've accepted the thank you gift, I should go and get busy! His Majesty just gave me an errand. If I don't do it well, your brother Xiaoxuan, I will be punished!"
Looking at the position of the sun in the sky, it was estimated that it was almost noon, Li Zexuan quickly put away the two purses and said.
The reluctance flashed through Chang Le's eyes, and then he nodded and said: "Well! Then Brother Xiaoxuan, go and do your work! Well, how about... I will send Brother Xiaoxuan out of the palace~!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said: "No, no! It's not the first time I've been to this palace. I'm so familiar with it that I won't get lost! Changle, go back quickly!"
Just kidding, let Li Er's beloved daughter be your guide and spread the news to Lao Li's ears, what's the point?
Changle pouted slightly, and said with some reluctance: "Brother Xiaoxuan, let Changle give you another gift! If it weren't for you today, at least one of me and the prince brother would definitely die. If I don't do anything for you, Changle I don’t feel at peace!”
Seeing Chang Le's pleading face, Li Zexuan couldn't bear to say: "Okay, okay! Today, brother Xiaoxuan will be honored to let Chang Le be a tour guide to visit the palace!"
"Brother Xiaoxuan, what is a tour guide?"
"Uh... tour guide! The so-called tour guide is someone who guides tourists to enjoy the beautiful scenery..."
"Oh~! Okay! Then Changle will be a tour guide for brother Xiaoxuan today. Brother Xiaoxuan, look, we have left Chengtianmen. On the left are Menxiawaisheng, Dianzhongsheng and Zuo Qianniuwei. On the right are Zhongshu Waisheng and Sifang. Hall, right Qian Niuwei..."
The Imperial City in the middle of Chang'an City (that is, most of the southwest area within the city wall of the Ming Dynasty), with Chengtian Gate as the boundary, can be divided into the Inner Imperial City and the Outer Imperial City. The Inner Imperial City is mainly where Li Er works and lives. Popularly speaking, To put it bluntly, the Inner Imperial City is what people often call the Imperial Palace!
The Outer Imperial City accommodated the core administrative agencies that operated the Li Tang Dynasty, including the "Nine Temples" that evolved from the "Nine Ministers" in the "Sangong Nine Ministers" since the Northern Qi Dynasty: Taichang, Guanglu Xun, Weiwei, Taipu, Tingwei, Dahonglu, Zongzheng, Dasinong, Shaofu;
There are also "three provinces": Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province;
There are also "six departments" yamen: the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry;
In addition to these, there are also the official offices of the twelve guards in the capital in the imperial city. Of course, these twelve guards will slowly develop into sixteen guards!
By the way, if Changle hadn't introduced all the government offices here today, Li Zexuan wouldn't have recognized a few of them. The main reason is that this guy rarely interacts with some functional departments of the imperial court, so naturally he is not familiar with the specific locations of those government offices. Got it~!
"Huh? Isn't this the Ancestral Temple? What else are they carrying inside?"
Go right from Chengtianmen Street and then go south to exit the imperial city through Anshangmen. At this time, Li Zexuan happened to see a group of young eunuchs carrying sacks of sacks to the nearby Ancestral Temple. He couldn't help but ask road.
