Sure enough, there was already a fair-faced eunuch sitting there drinking tea and waiting. When he saw Li Kuan appear, he stood up.
Li Chuan greeted him and said, "I don't know how to address this father-in-law."
The eunuch said in a sharp voice: "Young Master, you don't need to be polite. We are Wang Quansheng from Kunning Palace. I came to your mansion this time to give you a reward according to the Queen Mother's decree."
When Li Fan heard this, he was suddenly confused.
Wang Quansheng didn't care about that much, he just looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "The queen orally, I heard that Li Chuanrui, the eldest son of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, was born early and has a beautiful appearance. I will give you a thousand gold coins and a tribute brocade." Hundreds of horses..."
Translated into the modern vernacular, this oral edict means that I heard that Wu'an Hou raised a handsome boy in his mansion, so I sent my father-in-law to reward him, and take the opportunity to see if he is as handsome as the legend says.
Li Chuan was confused by this incident. When he came to his senses, Wang Quansheng had already handed over his hand and was about to leave.
Li Chuan hurriedly said: "My father-in-law, please wait!"
Li Fang called to Li Fuchang, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion who was waiting below, to get the wallet he had prepared, ready to say some good words and inquire about the situation.
But he saw that Wang Quansheng collected the wallet calmly and said with a smile: "Young Master is so lucky to have caught the eyes of the Cat Immortal. These are the gifts from the one who asked the Queen to give them. Don't be surprised. Take that package." Just leave it to me.”
"Cat Immortal?"
It is said that there is no need to be surprised, but when something like this happens, how can you not be surprised?
Li Fan secretly guessed while asking someone to go to the east courtyard to fetch the package he had brought back.
Yang Nai had the national surname of Daqian, and he was able to get Yi Zhi. Could it be that Yang Nai was a favored princess or princess?
When Wang Quansheng left, Li Fan was still thinking about this issue, but what happened just now alarmed Li Xin and he came over to ask.
Li Fan told him his guess.
Li Xin shook his head and seemed to have no clue: "As for the maiden name of the clan girl, you'd better ask your mother."
"That's right. Mother is the wife of fate, so her circle should know more about these things, right?"
Li Xin was noncommittal. He was concerned about another point: "It seems that the origin of that white cat is difficult to continue to trace."
That's true. They sent a eunuch to the palace to deliver the edict with such arrogance, and they still investigated for nothing. Then didn't it make it clear that the investigation went into the imperial city?
But Li Xin then added: "But this may not necessarily be a bad thing. You can try to have more contact with her."
Li Fan couldn't help but complain: "Didn't you just say that the wild cat has an unknown origin and you should be careful?"
Li Xin said sternly: "Even if we become strangers, we must be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. What's more, if you can make good friends with the clan, you will naturally have both sides, and you will save many years of struggle in the future."
This was said so righteously and confidently that Li Chuan was speechless.
Seeing Li Chuan like this, Li Xin couldn't help but shake his head and said: "You must know that the power of strangeness is like military power, which has taboos against the master."
"Military power, taboos..."
Li Chuan suddenly realized.
Daqian is still a feudal dynasty in essence, and the power of strangers is not enough to break away from human society and develop on its own, and truly become an immortal and a god, so it is inevitable that the imperial court will become the biggest winner.
Thinking about it this way, he could understand that Li Xin had previously said that the nobles had founded the Demon Suppression Division, but later the power was divided between the eunuchs and relatives.
Even if you become a foreigner, you must still be under the control of the court. The foreign world is not a place outside the law, and it is even subject to stricter supervision.
Unless one day, the imperial court loses its ability to supervise.
As a time-traveler himself, Li Chuan actually has no monarch or minister in his heart.
But after seeing the performance of this cheap father, he understood that this kind of thinking was deeply rooted in the entire Daqian, and it was simply more terrifying than the strange power.
It can directly control people's thoughts and regulate their words and deeds, which is more powerful than any other force.
Even if I live in such an ancient society, I have to pretend to be a loyal minister and filial son, otherwise it will be too eye-catching and I will not stand up at all.
Not long after, Xiao Qingyue ordered someone to call him over and asked in surprise: "My son, what good deeds have you done that actually alerted the empress to issue a decree to reward you?"
Li Chuan said: "The child is also puzzled. Maybe... he is handsome?"
Xiao Qingyue was amused by him. She looked Li Fan up and down, nodded with satisfaction and said: "My son is very handsome. Maybe the empress really listened to some fortune teller and sent someone over to take a look. I will take your place in the palace when I have a chance." Thank you."
Li Ao said with shame: "My child, it was just a joke."
Xiao Qingyue said: "My mother is not joking with you. Maybe some princess or princess is about to get married and has put you on the inspection list.
According to me, people like ours have power, status, and wealth, but they have to have a good body and good looks to be truly perfect. "
Li Fan did not comment, but just said: "Mother, if you have the opportunity to go in and out of the palace, you may know the maiden names of the girls in the clan. Have you ever heard of Yang Kuang?"
Xiao Qingyue said with some confusion: "I've never heard of it, where did you know this name?"
Li Chuan said: "I got it by chance."
Xiao Qingyue said: "That's really strange. Even I don't know the name, but it sounds like she really is a clan girl."
Li Chuan asked: "How can you see it?"
Xiao Qingyue said: "You should have heard that His Majesty is currently practicing Taoism and refining elixirs to seek immortality, right?"
Li Fan nodded. To be honest, if he hadn't experienced the fox marrying a girl, he really thought there might be cultivators in this world.
In a sense, my previous belief in cultivating immortality was deceived by this emperor!
Xiao Qingyue said: "Your Majesty is old and strong, and has many children under his knees, but not many of his concubines have serious titles. Let me think about it, Princess Yang Yao of Yining, Princess Yang Hua of Chongning, Princess Yang Yan of Pingchuan, Princess Yang Yi of Lin'an... …
These four are a year or two older than you, and they already have consorts, but their names all have a female character next to them.
As for Princess Chang'an, Princess Sirou, and Princess Guishan, they are not married and are similar in age to you. It is really possible.
Of course, it is more likely that they are the prince's daughters, who are your peers in terms of age. "
"I also ask my mother to help me find out which princess or princess Yang is."
"Don't worry, I will find out clearly."
Xiao Qingyue smiled, obviously she had misunderstood something.
Li Fan didn't bother to explain any more. After handling these matters, he was ready to go back and rest.
He worked hard for most of the night yesterday, and he didn't wake up until dawn. He felt like day and night were reversed, and he wanted to take a rest at noon.
Suddenly, the Eight Immortals golden cup inside his body trembled.
Li Chuan summoned it and was surprised to find that it became usable again.
"It actually recovers faster than expected. Could it be that it can be used once every six hours? Or is it reset around noon?"
