Li Shimin

Chapter 203
After that, everything was on track.

With Li Xuan's 'Aye' added to his body, Li Yuan was full of energy as if he had taken a elixir. He shuttled back and forth between Li Family Village and Chang'an City, all his thoughts were devoted to Li Xuan's marriage.

But in Lijiazhuang, because a nine-year-old heir appeared out of thin air, he also suffered from mild autism.

In Li Xuan's leisurely life, there was one more thing about medical treatment.

All day long, Li Chongyi was arranged to take Li Baoding to feed Li Xiong. Li Xiong never refused food, whether it was meat, vegetables, or bamboo. Li Xuan once felt that this stupid and cute dumpling, It is more like a species at the top of the food chain than him.

Let Li Chongyi take Li Baoding to cook, wash dishes, water vegetables in the glass greenhouse, feed chickens and hogs, forge steel bars and burn cement in the forge.

However, the burning of cement took up too much space, so Li Xuan asked Chu Suiliang to take the people from Jinwangfu to build a cement workshop outside the village of Lijiazhuang, near the main road, to burn cement.

Beside the cement workshop, there are piles of gravel and river sand, which are getting higher and higher every day. These are collected by Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi's farmers in their village every day.

Time flies, and soon it will be the New Year's Eve.

Li Xuan killed a group of chickens and hogs in the chicken pen and hog pen, and distributed some to the villagers in Lijiazhuang. It calmed down.

It's just that I haven't been clean for half a day.

Li Chang, the steward of Prince Jin's Mansion, rushed out of the small courtyard with a group of servants from the mansion.

"Your Majesty, today is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow will be Yuan Day. I will invite Your Majesty to return home!"

"New Year's Eve is New Year's Eve!"

"Your Majesty, on New Year's Eve, the Prince Jin Mansion cannot live without Your Majesty!"

"My king is comfortable in the small courtyard, why must he go to Prince Jin's mansion?"

"My lord, on New Year's Eve, the whole family will reunite for a New Year's Eve dinner, drink pepper wine, and watch the year! If your lord doesn't go back, what will King Huaiwei do?"

Li Chang asked.

"Forehead!"

Li Xuan's expression froze, and he glanced at Li Baoding, who was still a little timid, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

"This king bids farewell to the householders in the village, and then goes to Chang'an!"

"Thank you king!"

Li Chang and the others were all smiles.

As for Li Xuan's short farewell, the sixth uncle of Li Family Manor had expected it long ago and let Li Xuan leave with peace of mind, assuring Li Xuan that during the few days Li Xuan left, everyone in the village would take good care of the courtyard.

Wait until Li Xuan returns to the small courtyard.

The housekeeper, Li Chang, had brought the servants of the palace with him, and hung two peach wood boards on the door, with the names of Shen Tu and Yu Lei written on them.

This is equivalent to the Spring Festival couplets of the Tang Dynasty.

Afterwards, Li Xuan got into the carriage and headed for Chang'an City surrounded by the guards of honor of the King of Jin, who were surrounded by black and black.

Among the guard of honor, the most conspicuous ones are the two most colorful pheasant tail fans held high, and four vermilion lacquer round fans, followed by a group of wooden plaques.

Front, back, left, and right are the guards, retinues, and ceremonial soldiers of Jin Wang's Marriage Mansion and Zhang Nei Mansion.

Along the way, all passers-by and officials gave way one after another.

This allowed Li Xuan to finally enjoy the privilege of being a prince.

Inside Prince Jin's Mansion, there was also a burst of joy.

After all the servants bowed to Li Xuan, they hurriedly started working.

In the evening, Li Xuan and Li Baoding sat together to eat Wuxinpan, which is composed of five kinds of spicy vegetables, in order to disperse the stale spirit in people's five internal organs, as well as gumya glutinous rice wine, cypress leaf wine, etc. A large table of various foods.

After eating, the whole city of Chang'an really started to be lively. Sitting in the palace, Li Xuan could hear the screams and laughter outside.

Li Baoding also stood at the door, watching with interest.

In the palace, for some unknown reason, thirteen boys with hideous masks and red and black clothes appeared and danced while beating drums.

Li Xuan also knew about this strange custom. During the Chinese New Year in Lijiazhuang, Li Kun's skinny monkeys tossed the village in the middle of the night.

In the courtyard, a large fire was lit, and the servants threw bamboos into it, which were the real firecrackers.

When it was Zishi, the bells and drums were beeping in the street, and Li Chang and a group of palace servants greeted Li Xuan, saying auspicious words full of blessings.

From then on, Li Xuan was one year older!
The next day, from the morning onwards, people in the entire Chang'an city would drop by everywhere, eating wherever they went. On the first day, Prince Jin's Mansion was crowded with people.

Among them, the biggest culprit is Li Yuan, the old man Xiong, with a group of people, many of whom are older sisters and younger sisters whom Li Xuan has never met or heard of, as well as a group of consorts and captains, all of whom are powerful Tang real power officials, let Li Xuan have a long experience.

Li Xuan also finally understood why the Li family was able to firmly control most of the government of the Tang Dynasty under the siege of those aristocratic families.

However, after only one day's effort, Li Xuan couldn't stand it anymore.

"Your Majesty, you finally came back to live in the palace, why don't you stay for a few more days before going back to Li's Village!"

In the main hall of the palace, Li Chang begged repeatedly with a bitter face.

"I'm afraid you will all be paralyzed if I stay here any longer!"

Li Xuan repeatedly refused.

"Being able to serve the king, no matter how tired I am, I will be full of joy!" Li Chang said.

"But this king can't bear it, and I still count on you to take good care of the palace for this king!"

Li Xuan looked distressed.

"Your Majesty, the little people are delighted to see your Majesty in the house!" Li Chang said hastily.

"No, you won't!" Li Xuan said hastily.

Immediately, while Li Chang was full of astonishment, he waved his hand.

"Okay, okay, I just wanted to stay at the house for one night, but I was dragged by you, an old bastard. I stayed for two nights, and I have to go back today!"

"Your Majesty..."

"Hurry up and get ready to drive!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang sighed helplessly, then walked outside.

Then, within a moment, Li Chang walked back again.

"My lord, the carriage is ready!"

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Although the old man would often teach him how to do things, he really followed his orders to the letter.

After leaving the gate of the palace, Li Xuan couldn't help being startled.

"Why four carriages?"

"Go back to your Majesty, the villain has prepared some snacks for you!" Li Chang clasped his hands back.

"Then it won't take three carriages, will it?"

Li Xuan asked.

"Your Majesty, there are still some clothes!" Li Chang said.

"The clothes will be left in the palace, and I will not wear them when I bring them to Lijiazhuang. When I need them, I will send someone to bring them to you!!"

Hearing that it was clothes, Li Xuan understood.

How many pieces of clothing does a prince have? He has seen a lot in the past two days. Every occasion has different clothes, and even belt accessories are different.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Li Chang waved his hands quickly, and two carriages were lost in an instant.

Afterwards, surrounded by a team of palace guards, the group headed towards Li's Village.

"Aye, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

When he came out of the city gate, Li Baoding in the car couldn't help asking out his doubts.

"Yesterday, so many people crowded into the palace at once, do you like it?" Li Xuan said.

"do not like!"

Thinking of yesterday's scene, Li Baoding couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly replied.

As a junior, no matter who came, he had to pay respects one by one. The whole day yesterday was Li Baoding's nightmare.
