Taking local specialties from Chang'an back to the countryside is really down-to-earth, like an old farmer who has saved a few small coins going to the city to go to the market in a good harvest year.
Li Qin loaded a large car with a full load, and after packing his luggage, he returned to the backyard and said goodbye to Li Ji and Li Jingye.
The tribesmen gathered at the door, and when Li Qinzai was about to board the carriage, a group of feather forest guards came from Zhuque Street. There were golden boring screen wings in front of them to open the way, and palace servants behind them to accompany them. Pedestrians on the road moved to both sides of the road, bowed their heads and saluted respectfully. , dare not look up.
Li Qinzai squinted his eyes for a while, and King Luo Bin next to him tugged on his sleeve and said: "It's the guard of honor in the East Palace. Uncle Li, let's get out of the way first and don't do anything wrong."
Li Qinzai nodded and asked Qu, the central minister of the government, to step aside.
However, the guard of honor in the East Palace stopped in front of the British Palace.
A eunuch came out of the crowd and said in a sharp voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming to the British Duke's Mansion. Please ask the people in the mansion to meet you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man wearing a yellow robe was helped down from the eunuch. He stopped the eunuch's words and said in a deep voice: "Whatever you are taking on! Get out of here!"
As he said this, the young man walked a few steps and saw Li Qinzai outside the door of the mansion. He couldn't help but be startled. After carefully identifying him for a while, the young man suddenly stepped forward and said, "Is this your honor, Mr. Li Jingchu, the Fifth Young Master of the Yinggong Mansion?"
Li Qinzai hurriedly saluted: "I am Li Jingchu. I dare not call His Highness the Crown Prince 'Sir'."
The young man was none other than Crown Prince Li Hong. Hearing this, he stepped forward to hold Li Qinzai's hand and said warmly: "Sir is the husband of the emperor's younger brother Ying Wangxian, so naturally he is also my husband. It is not against the rules to serve him as a teacher."
After speaking, Li Hong bowed to Li Qinzai and said: "Li Hong came to the door today to apologize to Mr. Li. I was obsessed with doing something wrong a few days ago and I have no shame in making other excuses. A mistake is a mistake. Please forgive me, Mr. Li." I don’t respect the crime of offending.”
Li Qinzai hurriedly held his arm and said, "I am scared. Your Highness is trying to offend me. Your Highness is not wrong. I dare not accept this gift."
Unexpectedly, after holding it up for a long time, Li Hong didn't move, still maintaining the posture of bowing his head, saying: "Please forgive me, Mr. Li. If you don't forgive me, I will have no choice but to bow my head to atone for my fault."
"Forgive, forgive! What else can I do? Of course I choose to forgive." Li Qinzai said with a wry smile.
Li Hong then straightened up, smiled at Li Qinzai, and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Li, for your generosity. Please forgive me for my ignorance and offense."
Li Qinzai sighed, the majestic prince, the apology has been humbled to the dust. Whether it is a show or sincerity, the slight resentment in Li Qinzai's heart has actually dissipated.
Well, it's not him who's in jail anyway.
"I've taken the liberty to come to your door today. I'm going to apologize with a small amount of courtesy. I also ask Mr. Li to accept it. Don't refuse."
As he spoke, Li Hong waved his hand, and a group of palace attendants filed out holding exquisite sandalwood gift boxes.
Li Hong didn't show off anything. The gift box passed by Li Qinzai without opening it at all, but was sent directly to the house.
Judging from the luxurious gift box style, this apology gift must not be light. Li Qinzai unintentionally made a fortune, and Li Qinzai became more and more happy.
"Why is this so embarrassing..." Li Qinzai pretended to be angry: "His Highness is giving this generous gift to treat me as an outsider. It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, and Your Highness must never see anyone else. It won't be the same next time. Haha, it won't be the same next time." ah!"
King Luo Bin beside him couldn't stand it anymore, so he gently tugged on his sleeves and whispered in his ear: "Uncle Li, be more reserved. Your lips are almost reaching the back of your ears."
Li Qinzai quickly returned to his serious expression.
The middle door of the British Palace suddenly opened. Li Ji, wearing court clothes, led Li Jingye out quickly. As soon as they stood in front of Li Hong, Li Ji and Li Jingye hurriedly saluted.
"Old minister pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Your Majesty, Li Jingye, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Hong was startled, and hurriedly held their arms with his left and right hands, saying: "Don't dare to treat me as a gift to the lord. Today, I am here to apologize for offending the noble children of the lord. Please forgive me this time, and do it again next time." I don’t dare anymore.”
"His Highness's words are serious, and the old minister is frightened. Your Highness is here to be a guest in this humble abode. The humble abode is full of glory. I will never mention the apology again."
Li Hong shook his head, looked at Li Jingye again, and bowed without saying a word: "It's my fault that Brother Jingye was imprisoned for no reason. Please forgive me for being confused for a moment, and don't hold grudges in my heart. Li Hong wishes you Apologize."
Li Jingye was so panicked that he knelt on the ground and said: "Your Highness, please do not offend me. I would never dare to accept this gift."
After apologizing one by one and receiving personal forgiveness from the Li family's ancestors and grandsons, Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "In life, it is inevitable that there will be times when the mind is obsessed with evil spirits. If my father hadn't awakened me this time, I almost made a big mistake and it hurt me. The ministers of the Tang Dynasty, the heroic dukes and noble descendants are generous and never give up, they are my blessing, thank you very much."
It has to be said that Li Hong's attitude of apologizing was very sincere and serious from beginning to end. Even if the Li family was a little confused, they completely forgiven him at this moment.
If you make a mistake, recognize it, admit it, and you can correct it, why bother with him?
The grandfather and grandson invited Li Hong in and sat down in the front hall.
When the prince comes, he must be received grandly. Li Ji clapped his hands, and the banquet began immediately.
The kabuki and orchestra from Fuchu, which had been rare for a long time, also came out. The beautiful and enchanting kabuki was about to play a song for the guests with her long sleeves, but was decisively stopped by Li Hong.
"Young Master, please don't blame me. Today, I am here to apologize. It is inappropriate to hold an apology banquet. If you still enjoy singing and dancing, it will go against your original intention. There is no need to entertain guests with singing and dancing today. I would like to use the fine wine in the house to pay homage to Your Majesty." Have a drink with Brother Jingye and Mr. Jingchu."
After speaking, Li Hong drank a full cup and showed the bottom of the cup to his grandfather and grandson.
Li Ji was in a good mood at the moment. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Highness is good, and you are worthy of the name of benevolence. I have seen the future of a wise and benevolent king. I would like to congratulate the Tang Dynasty and the emperor and the crown prince."
As he spoke, Li Ji also drank a full cup.
A banquet where guests and hosts enjoy themselves.
After the banquet, Li Hong took his leave and Li Ji sent him out in person. However, Li Hong pulled Li Qinzai aside and whispered: "I have said enough words of apology today, but I still want to say it again. Mr. Jingchu, I offended you the day before yesterday." , please don’t take it to heart.”
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the matter has passed. I am not someone who will hold on to you. Your Highness will apologize today. The ceremony is a bit grand and I can't bear it."
Li Hong shook his head, took out a penny from his arms, held it in his hands, and handed it to Li Qinzai while bending down: "This is my formal apology, please accept it, Mr. Jingchu."
Li Qinzai looked at the penny in front of him with unpredictable eyes.
In fact, when he mentioned this penny to Li Yifu yesterday, Li Qinzai felt a little resentful, so he made this condition in order to use this penny to explain the rights and wrongs of this matter to the world.
If you pay me a penny, it means you are wrong. If you are wrong, you have to correct your attitude and pay me honestly.
Now Li Hong is holding this penny, but Li Qinzai is hesitant to take it.
I already have such a correct attitude. Isn’t it a bit unreasonable to take this penny again?
However, thinking of the rights and wrongs of the whole matter, Li Qinzai still took the penny, stuffed it into his arms, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I took the liberty to accept it. Let this matter be revealed."
