After sleeping in his mother's palace, Li Ke felt refreshed all over! It was so comfortable to sleep this time. It was really nice to drink some wine to sleep.
When he got up, the maid had already prepared something for mouthwash. Li Ke rinsed his mouth, washed himself, and then changed into another set of clothes. The clothes he wore were quite ordinary. Although the materials could not be bad, but Styles and such are ordinary.
Walking from the side hall to the main hall, Concubine Yang had already gotten up and was talking to Li Min.
"Grandma, I wish you a beautiful face, flowers on your hair, and good luck every year." Li Ke first smiled and formally wished his grandma a happy new year.
The vigil lasted until now. In fact, the process of New Year greetings for those close to them has not yet been completed. It usually starts with today's dinner party.
"My mother is old, how can she still keep her good looks? Look at how old you and your brother are." Concubine Yang said with a smile.
"Third brother, I wish you a happy New Year." Li Min learned Li Ke's blessing and said with a smile. Because Li Ke said this every year, Li Min also learned it.
"It's okay. It seems that your body has not been left behind during this period. How is your house?"
Li Ke looked at Li Min and asked.
"Very good." Li Min whispered.
"I heard you didn't come to the palace yesterday?" Li Ke glanced at him.
"I apologized to my father. This is the first year Qiaoyue has celebrated the New Year at my house, and her status is difficult to bring into the palace, so..." Li Min was a little embarrassed.
Li Ke looked at him and nodded in his mind, okay, this trip to the Western Region was not in vain. Qiao Yue, Guo Qiao Yue, was the girl from the Guo family who asked Li Ke to deal with him. Looking at Li Min like this, it was obvious that he was interested in her.
Although it is impossible to be a real wife, it is not bad to be a concubine.
Li Ke sighed in his heart. It seemed that all this was unfair to Guo Qiaoyue, but what could such a woman do when she faced a prince like Li Min? Letting her be Li Min's concubine was the best choice. Any other choice would push her into a pit of fire.
There is no way, this is feudal society.
From a modern perspective, Li Min seems to have received little punishment, but from the perspective of an ordinary person in the Tang Dynasty, Li Min has been punished enough.
The prince broke the law and was as guilty as the common people. This in itself is the biggest lie.
Perhaps in later generations, some people will say that Li Min was punished this way, and Li Ke should not be like this, but if Li Min was really punished according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Qiaoyue's final fate would be miserable.
Now, this is the best outcome.
"It's okay. If you have some conscience, take her back to your parents' home tomorrow." Li Ke said, "I won't tell you anything else. You have been to the Western Regions, you know what you are doing."
"Yes, third brother." Li Min bowed and saluted with a serious face.
Concubine Yang didn't interrupt from beginning to end. After Li Ke finished speaking, Concubine Yang said, "Ke'er, my mother can't use up the things you gave me. Take them back."
"Auntie, don't worry. If you can't use up those things, just give some to the other concubines in the palace, or reward some servants. If you are reluctant to part with them, your son is rich. My father will not care. The emperor knows it well, don't worry, it's better to build a relationship than those concubines chewing your tongue behind your back." Li Ke said with a smile.
When Li Shimin returned to the palace, Li Ke sent something in. This time Li Ke did not send it to Li Shimin and Queen Changsun. It was not that he did not understand etiquette, but that both Li Shimin and Queen Changsun understood it. Li Shimin lacked nothing, so Li Ke just gave him the knife. Giving money to Li Shimin would affect Lao Li's reputation. Lao Li didn't lack money for his own use, so Li Ke had to give him something.
As for things, the normal cost of food and clothing, that is, Lao Li lacks some food, but Li Ke does not have the ingredients. We have to wait until next year, and the chefs and other royal chefs have already been trained by Li Ke, which is almost the same. of.
As for the others, Lao Li is naturally indispensable. As for Queen Changsun, Li Ke sent it once when he came back from Xizhou, so there is no need to send it this time. Or to put it another way, this time, Concubine Yang needs to deliver it.
Therefore, Li Ke sent a large number of things to Concubine Yang into the palace, which were enough for food and clothing. The food was mainly some white sugar, and not much else. The clothes were all kinds of fine silks. You can never buy these things outside. arrive.
The things used are some rouge gouache and the like. Li Ke is not involved in this matter at present, or in other words, it is the same. Just remove the harmful things and buy the ones from Datang. It is nothing more than a matter of spending money. .
Li Ke sent these things in so that Concubine Yang could use them not only for herself, but also for others.
In addition, Li Ke gave Concubine Yang a 100,000 yuan shopping mall exchange coupon and asked Concubine Yang to handle it by herself. Concubine Yang always had to use some money.
"Then, I know it, don't worry about it." Speaking of this, Concubine Yang's tone was full of pride. Her current position in Li Shimin's harem is really a bit transcendent. Let's not talk about her relationship with Empress Changsun. Among the four virtuous and Shude concubines, the other three were also very respectful to Concubine Yang, not to mention the concubines on the lower level.
All of this was naturally brought by Li Ke.
Not to mention the current Li Ke, even the former Li Ke was so powerful that few other concubines in the palace dared to offend Concubine Yang. After all, no one wanted to offend a stupid young prince, right?
"Then let's go to Aye's place. It's almost time. I've also prepared new clothes for Jinyang and the others. Let's go and take a look." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go." Concubine Yang also smiled.
The dinner was held at Liangyi Hall. When Li Ke arrived, Jinyang and the other little guys actually woke up.
"Why did you get up so early? Have you slept well?" Li Ke asked with a smile.
"Sleep well, Third Brother, when can we wear new clothes?" Jinyang asked with an expectant look on his face.
"Haha, if you want to wear it, you can wear it in a moment. Wear it with you Gao Yang and Chengyang sisters, and then let your father see if it's okay." Li Ke said with a smile. The reason why Jinyang is looking forward to it is because of their The new clothes were prepared by Li Ke.
It is considered a new model launched by a shopping mall clothing brand. This thing is very expensive for tailors, and the raw materials are not easy to make. The style is the design style of later generations. In the Tang Dynasty, it was absolutely gorgeous and cute.
so
There is also this
It’s not that the Tang Dynasty didn’t have gorgeous clothes, but that people in the Tang Dynasty probably only had a few sets of gorgeous clothes in their lifetime, and many of them were worn on important occasions or special scenes, such as New Year’s clothes, although they were also very good. But that's only compared to this era.
"Then I'll go find Sister Chengyang and Gao Yang and wear them together." Jin Yang immediately said happily.
"Go, go." Li Ke said with a smile.
Jinyang turned around and ran to put on new clothes. The third brother had prepared them for her. Jinyang had been waiting to wear them yesterday.
Jin Yang left, and Li Ke walked into the hall with a smile. Li Shimin and the others naturally got up. Seeing Li Ke coming in, Li Shimin looked up and down, and then said: "His Royal Highness, King Qin, has a good drinking capacity. He can drink There are a lot of courtiers, and the poems are also good."
Li Ke: "..."
No, Lao Li, what is wrong with you? When did you learn to speak and speak with His Highness the King of Qin?
"Erlang, you're celebrating the New Year, please speak up." Queen Changsun next to her gave Li Shimin a rare coquettish word. This was so rare. Li Ke didn't know it in private, but in front of her children, Queen Changsun rarely did this. Looks like it.
"Hey, don't I think this kid is a little too much? You said he was a big man during the New Year. He has knocked down all the civil and military officials in the court. He probably won't be able to wake up today. Look at how uncomfortable Qingque is. He can't get up at all." Li Shimin quickly apologized with a smile.
"Then you can't blame me, they are the ones who want to carry it with me." Li Ke said confidently.
Li Shimin rolled his eyes, "I'm just too embarrassed to tell your mother, stepmother, concubine and the others the poems you wrote, otherwise it'll be up to you to see where you put your face."
"What were you talking about to Jinyang and the others outside?" Li Shimin changed the subject.
"She wanted to wear new clothes, so I let her wear them." Li Ke said with a smile.
"New clothes? Isn't she wearing new clothes?" Li Shimin was a little confused.
"I prepared it for the little ones."
Li Shimin looked Li Ke up and down and said, "You are very good at dealing with people and sophistication. Well, yes, understanding people and sophistication means that there will be no problems in employing people when handling government affairs. Yes, there will be no need for him to teach him this. Oh, One more thing to let go of.
Hey, that’s great!
