The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 366 Entering the palace to see the eldest grandson

"By the way, mother, my son has something to tell you." Xuan Shijing said.

"Just say it."

Xuan Shijing: "Baby sees that you haven't been in the mansion recently, and there is only Xiaohuan by your side, so, I want to let Xiaoji come back to you. There is no good player, and the son is also worried, so the son thinks, let Xiaoji continue to follow you."

When Wang heard this, she frowned and said, "But if Xiaoji comes back to me and goes out to protect me, and you don't have a caring girl around you, how can it happen?"

"Oh, mother, don't you understand Xiaoji's temperament? How can he be a master who can serve others? It's good to know how to make good use of him as a guard by your side. Let him stay by my side all the time and serve tea and water. It's just a wooden stick as a toothpick, which is overkill." Xuan Shijing said: "As for the servant girl, it's just a matter of finding another one. In such a big Marquis's mansion, can't you find someone else?"

"Succeed, Jing'er, you are more sensible and mature than other children when you were a child. Now that you have grown up, you can make up your own mind about some things, and you don't have to go into details with your mother. You don't need to be careless all day long. These trivial things." Wang said with a smile.

"I'll let my son intrude on things outside, and I have to trouble you about things at home, right?" Xuan Shijing flatteringly picked up the chopsticks, and put a bun into the empty plate in front of Wang.

"Just your sweet mouth!"

After breakfast, Xuan Shijing went to Zhong Zishuo's yard to find Zhong Zishuo, and asked Zhong Zishuo to prepare some rich annual gifts, which he was going to bring into the palace and send to Empress Changsun.

Zhong Zishuo had already prepared the annual ceremony in the palace, and he was waiting for Xuan Shijing to bring it when he went to the palace, so it didn't take much time, so he asked the servants of the mansion to take the things from the warehouse moved out inside,

The best-looking luminous cup in the Western Regions is as thin as a cicada's wings. I heard that the sound when the wine is poured into the cup is clear and moving. It is a rare good thing. It is also a caravan passing by when returning from the Western Regions A small country, returned from the replacement of the royal family.

In addition to this treasure, Xuan Shijing also found a more interesting thing, which should be specially selected by Zhong Zishuo as a gift to His Majesty Li Er.

This is a scimitar, the blade is covered with various patterns, like flowing clouds and flowing water, it is very beautiful.

Xuan Shijing recognized this knife, isn't this a Damascus knife?However, the production of this knife is still somewhat different from that of the Damascus knife, but this must be the predecessor of the Damascus knife.

Good thing, Xuan Shijing held this scimitar in his hand, and after playing with it for a while, he put it back into the brocade box. If a batch of this thing is made, all the guards in the house will be equipped with one hanging on their waist , Combat power can definitely be raised to a higher level.

The rest are some local specialties brought back by the caravan of the Hou Mansion. These things will be sent to the palace, some will be put in the House of Internal Affairs, and some will be sent directly to the Shangshi Bureau. The eunuchs of the Shangshi Bureau have inspected them. After that, it will be reserved for His Majesty Li Er to make a meal.

There are a lot of things, and there are three big bullock carts installed in all kinds of places. They all look full of "trench" spirit and are top-notch inside, but it's just the luminous cup and machete.

Considering that Empress Changsun needs to take care of her body in winter, Xuan Shijing specially brought a lot of processed snow lotus collected from Tianshan Mountain, and put them together in the annual gift, and brought them to Empress Changsun when she was going to meet Empress Changsun.

After loading the car, Xuan Shijing checked the time and it was about time to start.

Shi Hu and Gao Jun were not in the mansion either, so Xuan Shijing had no choice but to ride his horse and go to the palace. Behind him were six people from the Hou's mansion, driving three ox carts, following behind Xuan Shijing.

Since then, when Xuan Shijing entered the palace, he could not enter through the Vermilion Bird Gate, so he made a detour to the north of the palace.

Xuan Shijing was able to enter and leave the palace freely a long time ago, so when he arrived at the gate of the palace, the guards did not stop him, allowing him to ride into the imperial city from Xuanwu Gate with an ox cart loaded with annual gifts. .

Going all the way to the gate of the palace city, Xuan Shijing got off his horse and handed the horse to the guards at the gate of the palace for them to lead away. Lin Jun led the way and brought him to the palace.

What Xuan Shijing wanted to see was Empress Changsun, so she naturally had to part ways with the servants of the Hou Mansion who were driving the carriage, and asked the guards to help them take the snow lotus, the luminous cup and the scimitar, and then walked towards the Lizheng Hall.

The three carts of New Year gifts were sent directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would also handle the things that were to be sent to the Shangshi Bureau.

Following the guards to the Lizheng Hall, it was already a long time ago. Empress Changsun was also playing with the embroidery on her hand in the Lizheng Hall at this time. In the winter, it is also interesting to read a book by the charcoal basin, or do needlework. .

"Empress, the Marquis of Dongshan is asking to see you outside the hall." The little maid from the Lizheng Hall walked up to Empress Changsun and reported.

"Jing'er? This child was just released from the palace by His Majesty yesterday, but he came to the palace today. After living in the palace for so many days, he didn't remember to come and see the palace. What happened today? Tempered?" Empress Changsun laughed and said, "Let him in."

"Yes, empress." Obtaining the orders of Empress Changsun, the little maid turned around and left the Lizheng Hall, and brought Xuan Shijing in.

Naturally, the guards could not follow into the Lizheng Palace, so when Empress Changsun saw Xuan Shijing, Xuan Shijing was a little embarrassed.

The box containing the scimitar and snow lotus was not too small. The three boxes were placed together. At this moment, Xuan Shijing looked like a craftsman moving bricks.

"I have met the empress, and the empress forgives me. It is a bit inconvenient for me to salute now." Xuan Shijing only showed his head, and smiled awkwardly.

"You child." Empress Changsun was a little helpless, and then ordered the two little eunuchs standing next to her: "You three, hurry up and help Lord Hou take some."

Hearing this, the three little eunuchs hurried forward, took the three big boxes from Xuan Shijing's hands, moved the boxes into their own hands, and stood behind Empress Changsun.

Freeing up her hands and freeing herself, Xuan Shijing bowed to Empress Changsun again.

"Why did Jing'er think of coming to see the palace today, huh?" Empress Changsun looked at Xuan Shijing with a smile on her face.

"Isn't this my minister who has just been lifted by His Majesty's foot restraint order, so he came into the palace to give you a New Year's gift to the empress?" Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "In winter, the empress should take care of her body. The empress said that the minister never The snow lotus that Longxi brought back for you has miraculous effects, I brought some more for your empress in recent days."

"En." Empress Changsun nodded in satisfaction: "You still have a bit of conscience, Jing'er, I didn't love you for nothing."

Due to the cold and dry weather these few days, Empress Changsun really felt a little out of breath. After taking this snow lotus, it is really much stronger than those medicinal herbs for recuperation. At least it can be a little more comfortable. The queen is still very satisfied.

"That's right." Xuan Shijing smiled brazenly upon hearing the words: "The servant knows that the empress loves the servant, so this trip to the palace specially brought a lot of good things to the empress." Then she lowered her voice Said: "Your Majesty doesn't have any."

Hearing this, Empress Changsun laughed and said: "You child, don't blame His Majesty for grounding you. You made such a fuss in Da'an Palace. If you don't punish you, do you think those ministers will let you go? Jing'er, The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, Your Majesty is also for your own good, by the way, you kidnapped Sizi, how do I want this Palace to deal with you?"
