It is hard to imagine how much thought His Highness the Crown Prince has put into taking all possible situations into consideration. With such an intellect, it would be a joke if he could not become emperor in the future.
Glancing at her daughter who was cutting pastries with a knife, Shangguan couldn't help but smile. With her experience, she couldn't tell that His Highness the Crown Prince was interested in the girl. But what puzzled her was that the prince didn't seem to have much lust for Wan'er, but more appreciation and pity for her.
Don't know why this is the case.
Looking at her happy daughter, Shangguan felt that it would be okay even if this girl couldn't get ahead. Only those who have experienced the place in Yeting Palace know what kind of hell it is. Coming out of it, even ordinary life, is extremely satisfying.

In the palace, Li Xian resisted and sneezed quietly with his sleeves covered.
Hearing this voice, Li Zhi frowned and reprimanded: "I thought you could hold it back, but who knew that you would have consummated your marriage with those Liang Di? I can't say much about lust. You can do it yourself." You also have to know the importance of severity. How can a person who is obviously successful in martial arts become so weak?"
After saying that, he looked back at the lake, waiting for the fishing rod to take the bait.
Today he specially called Li Xian into the palace. Instead of taking a formal exam, he took him to the pavilion by the lake. Fishing at the intersection of autumn and winter is really a bit nondescript.
After hearing the reprimand, Li Xian had no choice but to put down his fishing rod and bow down to receive the reprimand. But there was still a hint of disdain on his downcast face.
A guy who is so eager to have sex with his father's concubine is really unconvincing when he talks about the principles of abstinence. However, he is the emperor after all, and he educates people with a big sword, so no matter who he is, he has to listen. .
"Okay, I just said casually, young man, there will always be this time, you just know the importance. After all, you don't have children under your knees, so you should really work harder at this time. You have been in the fief these years, I I have neglected to care about you, but Fang is already pregnant, which is not bad. I called you here today, not to scold you, but because I am curious, how are you preparing for your auction? I heard that you are going to The participants hide their heads and faces, and the one with the highest price gets it? What kind of talk is this?"
Seeing Li Zhi ask about the auction, Li Xian knew that this guy still didn't believe in him enough. The auction currently only existed at stalls in the East and West markets, and was often disturbed by powerful people, so that there were clearly signs of development. But it was never officially born. In the final analysis, no one regards auctions as a means of profit. Even if they do, they do not dare to develop due to lack of status and power.
But with the personal endorsement of the prince himself, how could the auction develop? But once the auction moves from the ground to the underground, it will be the most terrifying. You know, slave trading is still flourishing in the Tang Dynasty.
Sitting on the stone pier, feeling the cold wind, Li Xian recounted all his arrangements.
Li Zhi's IQ is not low. After listening to Li Xian's story, he closed his eyes and went through it in his mind. He was surprised to find that it was very feasible.
Seeing Li Zhi closing his eyes and thinking deeply, Li Xian concentrated on fishing without disturbing him.
In this season, even a good young man can't help but add two pieces of clothing. If he can stay in the house, he won't want to come out. But Li Zhi was different. He had to go to the pavilion to freeze during this season. Such an abnormality, even if Li Xian didn't know much about medicine, he probably guessed that he had taken some bad medicine. Such abnormal behavior was probably due to the dissipation of the medicine's power and the excessive heat.
Reaching this point shows that Li Zhi's body has completely gone downhill.
After pondering for a long time, Li Zhi opened his eyes and said decisively: "After the auction house is completed, it will be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs!"
Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Xian smiled immediately. As expected of Li Zhi, he directly saw through the essence of the auction model. However, it is still inappropriate for the auction house to become a state-owned enterprise, at least at this time.
"My father and I have learned from this, and I believe that rather than handing it over to the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is better to hand it over to the inner government, and let the royal family actually control it."
"Um?"
Li Zhi just hesitated and figured out the way inside. Also, only when the royal family controls the auction house can it ensure that the auction house
If you keep making money, even the Ministry of Accounts will sometimes be unable to keep things under control.
"Okay, then leave it to the inner palace. As a reward, is there anything you want?"
Li Zhi was still a little embarrassed because he was stealing money from his son. It was a bit difficult to exchange for equal value, but for a while, he couldn't think of any other reward, so he simply let Li Xian speak on his own.
Li Xian naturally knew that this was the right time for him to speak loudly, but he still had to be careful when speaking to the emperor.
After thinking for a while, Li Xian said: "I built a greenhouse in the north of the East Palace. It was claimed to be for the palace maids to live in, but it was actually a place where I planned to spend the winter. In any case, once I moved in, If you go in, you will inevitably be impeached by the officials, so if my father can help my son solve this problem, it will be the greatest reward."
As early as when he took charge of the East Palace, he had already ordered the craftsmen to prepare such a residence. Although the main hall is grand and grand, the heating is not that bad. It's hard to imagine holding a brazier and still shaking, so a room with a heated kang fireplace is necessary.
However, the East Palace is not an ordinary people's home. Although this house was built in the name of "the palace maid's residence", once he moved in, it would be interesting. Wouldn't all the officials come to the East Palace to supervise him to demolish the house? That's the weird thing.
If it were just him, it would be nothing to experience the winter life of the ancients, but the problem is that Fang is pregnant with a child now. If he can live here, it will definitely be better than the main hall. You know, although the brazier can provide temporary warmth, carbon monoxide is a big problem. Ordinary people cannot bear the poison, let alone a child still in the belly.
Li Zhi still knew that a small house had been built in the East Palace, and he also knew the structure inside. It has to be said that although he is a noble, he does not have much freedom on these issues related to rules.
If it were just this matter, he wouldn't be able to solve it on his own, but if it was the prince's case, he would be able to do it.
A favor in exchange for the auction house, why not?
Li Zhi said without hesitation: "It's just such a small matter, of course I have a solution, but I think you built this house not just for yourself, right?"
Li Xian said without hesitation: "Yes, for the sake of the Crown Princess, you don't want the mother of your eldest grandson to suffer too much in winter."
Seeing that Li Xian was doing it for the Crown Princess, Li Zhi also smiled.
Fang is pregnant now, so she cannot be given too much preferential treatment.
