Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 479
Bringing Chang'an local products back to the countryside is really down-to-earth, like an old farmer who has saved a few pennies and went to the city to go to the market in a good harvest year.

Li Qin packed a large cart with a full load, packed his luggage, and went back to the backyard to bid farewell to Li Ji and Li Jingye.

The trilogy assembled at the door, and when Li Qinzai was about to board the carriage, a group of Habayashi guards came along Suzaku Avenue. There was a golden boring and screen wings in front to open the way, and there were palace attendants in the back. Pedestrians on the road gave way to both sides of the road and bowed their heads respectfully. , dare not look up.

Li Qinzai squinted his eyes for a while, then King Luo Bin tugged at his sleeve and said, "It's the guard of honor in the Eastern Palace, County Uncle Li, let's get out of the way first, don't make any mistakes."

Li Qinzai nodded and called Fuzhong Buqu to get out of the way.

However, the honor guard of the East Palace stopped in front of the British government.

An eunuch came out more and more, and said in a sharp voice: "His Royal Highness is here at the British government, please wait for the people in the government to pick you up."

As soon as the words fell, a young man in a yellow robe was helped down from the Luanjia, and he stopped the eunuch's words, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you to pick up! Get back!"

Said the young man walked a few steps, saw Li Qinzai outside the gate of the mansion, he couldn't help being stunned, after a long while of careful identification, the young man suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your honor is Mr. Li Jingchu, the fifth young man of Yinggong's mansion?"

Li Qinzai hastily saluted: "The subject is Li Jingchu, and I dare not call His Royal Highness 'Mr.'."

The young man was the crown prince Li Hong. Hearing this, he stepped forward to hold Li Qinzai's hand, and said in a gentle voice, "Mr. is the husband of the emperor's younger brother Ying Wangxian, and naturally he is also my husband. It is not against the rules to serve him as a teacher."

After finishing speaking, Li Hong bowed to Li Qinzai, and said: "Li Hong came to the door today to apologize to Mr. Li. A few days ago, I was delusional and did something wrong. I have no face to find other excuses. A mistake is a mistake. Please forgive me, Mr. Li." I disrespect the sin of offense."

Li Qinzai hastily supported his arm, and said: "I'm terrified, Your Highness is also a shameful minister, Your Highness is not wrong, I dare not accept this gift."

Unexpectedly, after pushing it up for a long time, Li Hong didn't move. He still maintained the posture of bowing, and said: "Mr. Li, please forgive me. If you don't forgive me, I have no choice but to bow down to redeem myself."

"Forgive, forgive! What else can I do, of course I choose to forgive." Li Qinzai smiled wryly.

Only then did Li Hong straighten up, smiled at Li Qinzai, and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Li, and forgive me for my ignorance."

Li Qinzai sighed, the majestic prince, the apology is so lowly in the dust, whether it is acting or sincerity, the little resentment in Li Qinzai's heart has actually dissipated without a trace.

Well, it wasn't him who was in jail anyway.

"Today I take the liberty to come to the door and prepare a little courtesy to make amends. Please accept Mr. Li with a smile. Don't refuse."

Speaking of which, Li Hong waved his hand, and a group of palace servants came out holding exquisite sandalwood gift boxes.

Li Hong didn't show off anything, the gift box was not opened at all after passing by Li Qinzai, but was sent directly to the mansion.

Just judging from the luxurious gift box, this gift of apology must not be light, and Li Qinzai's mood became more and more joyful as he made a fortune unintentionally.

"How embarrassing is this..." Li Qinzai said with a fake face, "Your Highness is treating me as an outsider by giving you such a generous gift. It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, and please don't let others see you. Don't be an example. Haha, don't be an example. what!"

King Luo Bin who was next to him couldn't stand it any longer, he gently tugged at his sleeve, and whispered in his ear: "Uncle Li, be more reserved, your mouth is almost grinning to the back of your ears."

Li Qinzai quickly recovered his serious expression.

The middle door of the British residence suddenly opened, Li Ji was dressed in court clothes, and led Li Jingye out quickly. As soon as they stood in front of Li Hong, Li Ji and Li Jingye hurriedly saluted.

"The old minister pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Minister Li Jingye pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Hong was startled, and hurriedly supported their arms with his left and right hands, and said: "Don't dare to be a gift from Yinggong. Today, the younger generation is here to make amends. I offended the noble son of Yinggong's mansion. Please forgive me this time, and do it again next time." I dare not."

"Your Highness speaks seriously, and the veterans are terrified. Your Highness came to the humble house as a guest, and the humble house is full of luxuriant plants. The theory of apologizing will never be mentioned again."

Li Hong shook his head, looked at Li Jingye again, and saluted without saying a word: "It is my fault that brother Jingye was imprisoned for no reason. Please forgive me for being confused for a moment, and don't bear any grudges. Li Hong wishes you Sorry."

Li Jingye was so flustered that he knelt down on the ground, and said: "Your Highness, don't let me offend you, I dare not accept this gift."

After making amends one by one, and being forgiven by the grandparents of the Li family, Li Hong heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile: "In this world, there will inevitably be times when ghosts are obsessed. If my father didn't wake me up this time, I almost made a big mistake and hurt me. The ministers of the Great Tang Dynasty, Duke Ying and noble descendants have never given up, it is my blessing, thank you."

It has to be said that Li Hong's attitude of apologizing was very pious and serious from beginning to end, even if the whole Li family felt a little pissed, they completely forgave him at this moment.

Make a mistake, know it, admit it, make it right, so why bother with him?
The grandparents and grandchildren invited Li Hong in and sat down in the front hall.

When the prince arrives, he must be entertained grandly.Li Ji clapped his hands, and the banquet began immediately.

The Fuchu kabuki and music troupe, which have not been seen for a long time, also came out. The beautiful and enchanting kabuki was about to fiddle with its long sleeves to dance for the guests, but Li Hong decisively stopped it.

"Don't blame Yinggong, the younger generation is here to make amends today. It is not right to have a feast for apology. If you still enjoy singing and dancing, it will go against the original intention of the younger generation. Today, there is no need to entertain guests with singing and dancing. The younger generation borrows wine from the house to respect the old man." Have a drink with Brother Jingye and Mr. Jingchu."

After speaking, Li Hongman drank a cup, and lit the bottom of the cup to the grandparents and grandchildren.

Li Ji was also in a good mood at the moment, stroked his beard and said with a chuckle: "Your Highness is not bad, you are worthy of the name of benevolence. The old minister has seen the appearance of a benevolent emperor in the future. I congratulate the Tang Sheji and celebrate the birthday of the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Speaking of which, Li Ji also drank a full glass.

A banquet, the host and the guests enjoy themselves.

After the banquet, Li Hong bid farewell, and Li Ji personally sent him out, but Li Hong pulled Li Qinzai aside and said in a low voice, "I've said enough apology today, but I still want to say it again, Mr. Jingchu, I offended the day before yesterday. Please don't take it to heart."

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "It's okay, the matter is over, I'm not someone who won't let you go, His Highness apologized today, the ceremony is a bit grand, I can't bear it."

Li Hong shook his head, took out a penny from his bosom, held it in his palms, handed it to Li Qinzai, and bent down at the same time: "This is my official apology, and Mr. Jingchu please accept it."

Li Qinzai looked at the penny in front of him incredulously.

In fact, when Li Qinzai mentioned this penny to Li Yifu yesterday, Li Qinzai felt a little resentful, so he proposed this condition, with the purpose of using this penny to explain the right and wrong of this matter to the world.

If you pay me a penny, it means that you are wrong. If you are wrong, you have to correct your attitude and compensate me honestly.

Now that Li Hong was holding the penny, Li Qinzai was hesitant to take it.

With such a correct attitude, isn't it a bit unreasonable to take this penny?

However, thinking about the merits of the whole matter, Li Qinzai still took the money, stuffed it into his arms, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I take the liberty to accept it, so let's expose this matter."
