Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 236
Chapter 232

Li Shimin and the others were sitting in the Ganlu Hall, waiting for the ministers to come to pay New Year's greetings, and at the same time, they had to have breakfast in the palace.Li Shimin wanted Li Chengqian and Wei Hao to get close, of course Li Chengqian knew Wei Hao's ability,
Now I still have 2 yuan in the east palace, although I have to pay back some of the money to others, but overall, it is still good. Those caravans go out four times a year, and I earn at least 8 yuan a year. money, so that I don't have to ask Empress Changsun for money.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and Mrs. Gaoming have arrived!" Wang De came in at this moment and said to Li Shimin.

"Okay, let's go out!" Hearing this, Li Shimin smiled and nodded, then stood up, and several others also stood up.

After arriving outside the Ganlu Hall, the ministers and the imperial wives all stood up. After seeing Li Shimin and the Empress Changsun coming out, the ministers bowed and shouted: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Empress, Your Royal Highness, and the New Year's Eve of the Crown Princess!" !"

Wei Hao also yelled, three times.

"Okay, gentlemen!" Li Shimin said to those ministers with a smile. Li Shimin is in a very good mood recently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers clasped their hands again and shouted.

"Well, I'm having dinner in the side hall of Ganlu Hall today. You all worked hard last year, and I hope you will continue to work hard this year." Li Shimin continued to speak.

"Yes!" All the ministers clasped their hands together.

"Follow me!" Li Shimin said, then turned and went in.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was very simple to pay New Year greetings to the emperor. You just need to show your face and see you, and then you will be seated and have breakfast.
Of course, the location has been arranged long ago. Wei Hao, as the Duke of the county, also sat in the front seat, while the princes, the prince of the county and the Duke of the State sat in the front.
And those imperial wives are in another hall, entertained by Empress Changsun and Crown Princess.Of course, other concubines will also come to the table.

"Hey, dumplings, I like to eat this. I finished eating all the ones that Wei Hao gave to my family!" Cheng Yaojin said happily when he saw the maids brought the dumplings.

"I'm done eating, the old man still has some left over for the guests to eat these few days!" Yuchi Jingde immediately said to Wei Hao.

"Wei Hao, can you send some dumplings to my house?" Cheng Yaojin turned his head, found Wei Hao, and immediately shouted.

"Cheng Yaojin, is there anyone like you? Ask others for things on the first day of the new year?" A prince couldn't stand it anymore, so he shouted with a smile.

"That's okay, we don't pay attention to this!" Cheng Yaojin asked with a smile.

"Okay, I'll send you some tomorrow!" Wei Hao said with a smile while sitting there, Wei Hao still liked those military generals.

"By the way, Wei Hao!" Li Shimin immediately shouted when he heard Wei Hao's voice.

"Father, what about this!" Wei Hao stood up and shouted.

"Come here, take a seat here, come!" Li Shimin immediately called Wei Hao and shouted.

"Ah?" Wei Hao was a little surprised, because if he was close to the front, he was either a prince or county king, or someone like Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, and Qin Qiong. It was not suitable for him to be a county prince. .

"Come here, hurry up!" Li Shimin greeted Wei Hao and said, the other ministers also looked at Wei Hao, they all knew that Li Shimin loved Wei Hao very much, and now they have seen it.

"Okay!" Wei Hao walked over without being pretentious, and an eunuch immediately walked forward with Wei Hao's small table and cushions.

"You're sitting next to the pharmacist, boy, was your father grounded you? Did you release it today?" Li Shimin pointed at Li Jing with a smile, and said with a smile,

When Wei Hao heard this, he looked at Li Shimin depressedly.

After the eunuch set up the small table, Wei Hao still sat down on his knees. Now that he eats in the court hall, he still likes to have a table for each person, and everyone sits on his knees.

"Come here, Xuan Ge Ji!" Li Shimin sat there and said, immediately many women came in with musical instruments, and some women wore long skirts, and they started to dance in the middle of the music. stand up,

Wei Hao felt bored, so he just sat there and ate.

"Hao'er, don't you like it?" Li Jing asked Wei Hao when he saw Wei Hao eating there.

"It's okay, father-in-law, you're not hungry, but I'm so hungry!" Wei Hao asked Li Jing.

"Well, I ate a bit too much last night and I wasn't hungry. Are these singers not good-looking?" Li Jing asked with a smile.

"It's okay, father-in-law, what do you mean?" Wei Hao immediately looked at Li Jing vigilantly. He is also his father-in-law. Now ask yourself this question, what does it mean?
"Well, what this old man means is that those singers dance very well. I thought that young people like you would like to watch it, but this old man just found out that you took a second look, so I don't care much about it." Li Jing said with a smile .

"Oh, the dancing is okay, it's okay anyway, I just want to eat something, father-in-law, I'll eat first!" Wei Hao continued to eat as he spoke, most of the people were watching the dance Wei Hao ate there,

Li Shimin also discovered all this, and immediately greeted Wang De.

"Hao'er's side may not be enough, order more people to go there!" Li Shimin said to Wang De in a low voice, and Wang De went to do it immediately.

"This child is such a beautiful singer and dances such a beautiful dance, why doesn't she like to watch it?" Li Shimin was also suspicious in his heart.

And Wei Hao cared about these things, eat first before talking, after a while, a court lady came to Wei Hao with a portion of food, Wei Hao was stunned for a moment, then very happy, thinking about it, it’s okay after eating. Can add.

"One more drawer of buns!" Wei Hao said to the maid,

The court lady was stunned for a moment when she heard it, but she still smiled and retreated. When she got to Wang De's side, she whispered, "My lord, Duke Wei still wants a drawer of steamed stuffed buns!"

"Hurry up and send him there, you can't starve him, otherwise, His Majesty will be scolded!" Wang De said to the maid quickly,

The maid was surprised when she heard this, but she still brought a drawer of buns and sent them over.

"Well, it's delicious. Breakfast like this is delicious. It would be great if I had another glass of milk or soy milk. No, I'll let my family make soy milk next time!" Sitting there, Wei Hao said with a little regret, now Changan is not allowed to drink soy milk yet.
After Wei Hao was full, those women continued to dance. Wei Hao watched for a while, feeling bored, the dancing was too slow, compared with those modern dances, it was completely uninspired.
Of course the dance was beautiful, but Wei Hao went to bed very late last night, and got up so early this morning, listening to this kind of music and watching this kind of dance, Wei Hao really dozed off.

"Father-in-law, how long have you been watching this dance?" Wei Hao looked at Li Jing and asked, Li Jing was watching it with great interest, and didn't hear Wei Hao's words for a while.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, oh, it's really not possible, why don't you just buy one and take it home?" Wei Hao pushed Li Jing there.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your mother-in-law knows and won't beat me to death?" Li Jing heard clearly this time, staring at Wei Hao and said.

"Father-in-law, you don't have the courage. If it were me, do you think I would dare to buy it back?" Wei Hao looked at Li Jing with disdain at the moment,

Li Jing glared at Wei Hao, this bastard, said in front of his father-in-law that he wanted to buy a singer back, why, this father-in-law who bullied himself can't deal with him, can he?Even if I can't deal with him, there is still one sitting on it.

"Father-in-law, this is really boring, when do you want to see?" Wei Hao didn't pay attention to Li Jing's eyes, and continued to ask.

"It will take a while, why are you in a hurry?" Li Jing said angrily, why did this kid bother him to watch those beauties dance?I really don't understand appreciation.

Then Wei Hao looked at the other dukes, and found that all the dukes were staring at those singers, even Fang Xuanling was no exception, and Cheng Yaojin was about to come down.

"I've never seen them in the market, they all wear such thick clothes, look at the wool!" Wei Hao looked at those people with disdain, and couldn't help but think of those girl groups in a certain country in his mind, they dance well.

At first, Wei Hao was able to sit upright and watch, but when he got to the back, he began to look with his hands on his head, and when he got to the back, he was lying on the table directly. The music was so hypnotic!

I don't know how long it took, Wei Hao felt someone pushing him, so he sat up and found that other people were looking at him, and those singers didn't know where they went.

"Wei Hao, did you have a bad eye last night?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and asked.

"Slept for a while, the key is that the music is so hypnotic, and those singers are dancing, hey, what kind of eyes do you have, what's there to see, you can't see anything!" Wei Hao sat there, looking at it with contempt. Li Shimin said.

"What?" Li Shimin felt that he had heard it wrong. He actually said it was not good-looking, and asked himself what his vision was.

"I said you kid, do you know how to appreciate it?" Cheng Yaojin was unhappy, staring at Wei Hao and said.

"I've never seen it in the market before. What's so good about such a dance, ah~~" Wei Hao yawned as he spoke, then looked at Li Shimin and asked, "Father, is it over? It's over, I'll go see it." I went to see my mother, and then I left the palace, and I have to go to other homes to pay New Year's greetings!"

"Wait a minute, bastard, if you really have bad eyesight, that's fine, then you can get one out and have a look!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and said.

"Don't lie to me, I won't do it. If I get it out, my mother will definitely blame me, and your wives will probably blame me too!" Wei Hao immediately shook his head and said.

"Hey, can you stop talking big, kid? Or our wife will blame you, just you?" Yuchi Jingde also stared at Wei Hao and said.

"Forget it, there's no point in arguing with you guys who haven't seen the market!" Wei Hao waved his hand very generously.

"You, we haven't seen the market, didn't you go to see the market, didn't you?" Cheng Yaojin stared at Wei Hao and said teasingly.The other ministers also laughed.

"Painted boats? I haven't been there, but I guess it's not good-looking. If it's good-looking, there might be one in the palace too!" Wei Hao thought about it, shook his head and said.

"Of course Huafang is not as good-looking as mine here, that's all right, don't compete with him, what are you competing with a person who has not been crowned?" Li Shimin immediately scolded Wei Hao, and then shouted at the ministers.

"I haven't been there before. What are you proud of? Wait until I'm crowned. Just watch. I'll go to the boat for a month!" Wei Hao immediately pushed back and said, Li Shimin and Li Jing stared at Wei Hao.

"Why? What's the point of going to Huafang? You have all been there, can't I go?" Wei Hao asked again, Cheng Yaojin and the others laughed.

"Why are you laughing, Cheng Chusi goes every day!" Wei Hao said against Cheng Yaojin.

"What, go every day?" Cheng Yaojin stopped laughing immediately, staring at Wei Hao and asked.

"That's right, Yuchi Baolin also goes there every day!" Wei Hao nodded again.

"I didn't!" Yuchi Baolin, who was hiding behind the pillar, stood up and shouted immediately, isn't this cheating herself?
"Haven't you been there?" Wei Hao stared at Yuchi Baolin and asked.

"I have been there, but you, I, I don't go every day!" Yuchi Baolin shouted very depressed at the moment, which man has never been to Huafang, but don't bring it to a formal occasion, especially my own father still there.

"Hmph, wait for Dad!" Yuchi Jingde snorted coldly, warning Yuchi Baolin.

"Father-in-law, both Deju and Dejian have been there!" Wei Hao said to Li Jing, Li Jing pulled his beard hard, could he not know?But don't tell me!

"Haha, well, you bastard, don't go!" Li Shimin laughed happily at this moment.

"Father-in-law, why are you laughing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Yue also go there often!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and said again.

"Go alone, Wei Hao, but Gu didn't say anything!" Li Chengqian immediately stared at Wei Hao and shouted, isn't this cheating himself?

"Go, okay? You said it yourself, it's fun there, but I don't think it's fun. What's the point of watching dancing like this?" Wei Hao pouted and said,
He always thought that Huafang was a place to watch those so-called talented girls sing, dance, and perform their talents, but he didn't think about it at all. After all, there is a brothel street in Chang'an City, right?

"Wei Hao, you can't deceive people like this!" Li Chengqian was about to cry, this kid was the kind who said everything.

"What's the matter, who doesn't go? Isn't it? You ask them all to go, but I haven't been there. I guess my father has been there before he ascended the throne!" Wei Hao said indifferently.

"I have never been there!" Li Shimin shouted loudly at Wei Hao,

Wei Hao heard it and turned to look at him.

"I shouldn't have asked you anything. You should shut up from now on. Without my consent, you are not allowed to speak!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao very depressedly. Either the boy would not speak, or he would offend a large group of people if he did. .

"If you don't say it, don't say it, you asked me to say it yourself!" Wei Hao said indifferently.

"Hey, boy, it's alright, everyone eats about the same, I guess you will go out to visit later, I won't keep you here." Li Shimin sighed, and then said to the ministers,

Those ministers also smiled helplessly, thinking in their hearts that they should talk less to him in the future, maybe just one sentence can kill you.

Soon, those ministers left, and Wei Hao also went outside.

"Wei Hao!" Li Chengqian walked to Wei Hao very depressed.

"Why?" Wei Hao also stopped, looked at Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian looked around, and immediately said to Wei Hao in a low voice: "Can you stop talking nonsense, where do you go alone, why do you say it?"

"What does it matter, isn't it just to watch singing and dancing? That's what the Supreme Emperor said!" Wei Hao looked at Li Chengqian incomprehensibly.

"The Supreme Emperor is bluffing you, Huafang, that, you, me, it's fine, don't talk nonsense in the future!" Li Chengqian looked at Wei Hao helplessly, thinking in his heart, probably Wei Hao was deceived by the Supreme Emperor, but The Supreme Emperor lied to him and deceived people like himself.

"No way, is there such a thing?" Wei Hao stared at Li Chengqian with widened eyes and asked.

"Nonsense, otherwise, who would spend the night on a boat?" Li Chengqian stared at Wei Hao fiercely and said.

"Damn it!" Wei Hao cursed immediately, and then said to Li Chengqian: "I really don't know, the Supreme Emperor said, he just went inside to listen to music and watch dancing, how would I know?"

"Hey!" Li Chengqian looked helplessly at God, thinking, why didn't God strike him with a thunderbolt!
"By the way, I'm going to the harem to pay New Year's greetings to my mother." Wei Hao said immediately after thinking of this.

"Don't talk nonsense, the queen mother is not in the Lizheng Hall, but in the Ganlu Hall!" Li Chengqian warned Wei Hao.

"I know, I know, this is a misunderstanding, a big misunderstanding!" Wei Hao immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile, Li Chengqian has nothing to do with Wei Hao,

Soon, Wei Hao saw Empress Changsun in another side hall, and at the same time his own mother was there, as well as Concubine Wei and other concubines in the palace, and there were also older princesses, including those from the previous generation. Princess.

"Queen Mother, I wish you New Year's greetings!" Wei Hao smiled and said to Empress Changsun.

"Well, good, this is one year older, but you should be more prudent." Empress Zhangsun looked at Wei Hao with a smile and said.

"That's right, I'm quite stable!" Wei Hao nodded and said, Li Chengqian behind him really wanted to kick him, but he was still stable?
"Meet my aunt, I wish you New Year's greetings!" Wei Hao then cupped his hands to Concubine Wei Gui.

"Okay, I'm going to be crowned soon, it's really good!" Wei Guifei also said to Wei Hao very happily, and then Wei Hao greeted the other concubines, and those concubines also smiled back at Wei Hao,
After seeing everything, Wei Hao took his mother away and found a gap. Wei Hao went to the residence of his master, Eunuch Hong, and found that Eunuch Hong was cooking dumplings.

"Master, I wish you New Year's greetings!" Wei Hao knelt down after saying that.

"Hey, kid, hurry up, get up!" Eunuch Hong didn't expect that Wei Hao would kneel down for himself, so he quickly stood up and helped Wei Hao up.

"Master, why are you eating?" Wei Hao stood up with a smile and asked.

"I'm not hungry. Someone brought breakfast over before, and the master wanted to eat the dumplings you sent, so he asked them to take them back. No, the master came over to cook them after the work was done. It's still convenient. Many fathers-in-law I envy Master!" Eunuch Hong said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Well, I told you to go to my house for the New Year, but if you don't go, what's the good of being here alone!" Wei Hao nodded and complained to Eunuch Hong.
