The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 464
Xuan Shijing was also relieved, anyway, Li Yuanjing is like a useless person now no matter what, and he can no longer make troubles. If he falls into a fate, he may not be able to survive. If he is imprisoned in Chang'an, his every move will not Under the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, daily life may be reported by Bai Qisi, so from now on, Li Yuanjing is no longer a threat to Xuan Shijing, since His Majesty Li Er wants to keep Li Yuanjing One life, then let Li Yuanjing live in Chang'an City for the rest of his life.

Perhaps, without freedom, for Li Yuanjing, it would be more uncomfortable than dying.

"There is some truth to what you said, but I still need you to put in some effort in the court." His Majesty Li Er said to Xuan Shijing with a smile.

Hearing this, Xuan Shijing was stunned for a moment, a hundred thousand alpacas galloped past in his heart, it was a rare kindness not to pursue Li Yuanjing's life, and now he even wanted to help His Majesty Li Er to keep Li Yuanjing in the court.

"I know that there is resentment between you and Yuan Jing, but I still hope that you, Jing'er, can help me. This is the wish of the Supreme Emperor before his death. I and the Supreme Emperor have spent more than ten years in estrangement. I am in debt to the Supreme Emperor, so I don't want the Supreme Emperor to leave without peace of mind." His Majesty Li Er sighed.

His Majesty Li Er had already said this, and Xuan Shijing couldn't refuse, so he could only nod his head and accept the matter, but the disgust in his heart was like eating a fly.

Now I heard that Li Yuanjing has been sent by His Majesty Li Er to the royal residence in the corner of Chang'an City to be guarded. When he wakes up at night, he will be taken into the palace to guard the spirit of the Supreme Emperor. If His Majesty Li Er imprisoned Li Yuanjing in Chang'an in the future, it is estimated The Wang residence will become Li Yuanjing's residence for the rest of his life.

After leaving the Ganlu Hall, it was already dark, and the palace was silent, and there were a few faint cries from the Spirit Hall, these were the cries of young children who were frightened. , in this empty palace, it looks even more strange.

In the hall of spirits, Li Chengqian was accompanied by Li Xiang, and the kneeling ones were Li Ke and Li Tai. The cry of the child was made by Li Xiang.

The chubby little Li Xiang was brought by Li Chengqian's side all day today, kneeling in front of Li Yuan's spirit. Xuan Shijing couldn't bear to kneel down this day, let alone the young Li Xiang. The ministers can leave and go home, but the princes and grandchildren cannot leave, especially Li Chengqian, who is the crown prince. His Majesty Li Er is a member of the state, and cannot keep watch all night. The heavy responsibility of keeping the spirit naturally falls on Li Chengqian. body.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. The little grandson can't bear to kneel down like this. If I kneel here again, I'm afraid I'll hurt my body." Crown Princess Su came in from outside the hall and knelt down on Li Chengqian's knees. Looking at the crying Li Xiang beside me, I feel distressed for a while.

"Your Highness, sister-in-law is right, let Xiang'er go down to eat and rest first." Li Tai, who was kneeling on the side, persuaded: "It's not a solution for Xiang'er to cry like this."

"Okay, take Xiang'er back to the East Palace first." After a long while, Li Chengqian spoke to Su Shi. Li Chengqian was also a little annoyed by Li Xiang's noise, but this was the spirit of the Supreme Emperor, and it was not good. Outbursts, not to mention, being fussy with a child, also seems very immodest, just sighing secretly why his son can't fight for a little bit.

Li Xiang, who was crying and fussing, was taken away by the Su family, leaving only a group of princes in the hall of spirits. Originally, the palace was terribly quiet at night, and the atmosphere in the hall of spirits was quiet. The heart is even more hairy and timid, kneeling there trembling, trembling all over.

Xuan Shijing came out of the Ganlu Hall and walked out of the palace all the way, Shi Hu took the time to drive a carriage at the gate of the palace and waited for Xuan Shijing to come out, and saw Xuan Shijing coming out of the palace from a distance.

"Master Hou, you can be regarded as coming out." Seeing Xuan Shijing coming out, Shi Hu was also very happy. After all, if Xuan Shijing didn't return to the mansion, there would be no dinner at the mansion. Although there are no lively activities in the city, it is also the Lantern Festival after all.

"Has my mother eaten?" Xuan Shijing asked while getting into the carriage.

"No. Don't we just wait for you to go back, Lord Hou? Although everyone is guarding the coffin for the Supreme Emperor today, it is also the Shangyuan Festival after all. It is still possible to cook two more dishes in the mansion. Now the kitchen is preparing vegetarian dishes. It's done, I'll just wait for Master Hou to go back." Shi Hu watched Xuan Shijing get into the carriage, then jumped into the carriage himself, and began to drive the carriage over the mansion.

Xuan Shijing, who was sitting in the carriage, heard Shi Hu's words, and felt a little bit of emotion in his heart. It's really a pity that he couldn't even pass a decent Lantern Festival this year. I can't eat them all.

But there is no meat, so I might as well eat something else, Xuan Shijing thought, I have never seen glutinous rice balls in Tang Dynasty, and today is the Lantern Festival, so I might as well get some glutinous rice balls to eat, the ingredients for making glutinous rice balls are not difficult Find, prepare, and roll some at home.

"Shihu, let's find a place to buy some sesame seeds and icing sugar." Xuan Shijing said.

"Master Hou, what do you want these things for?" Shi Hu asked puzzled, "It's so late now, and all the grocery stores are closed."

"Of course it's for eating. Find a place and buy some. It's not too late now, and you should still be able to find it. It's only meaningful if you come to eat today." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Sure, Master Hou, sit still. Let's finish shopping and go back to the house as soon as possible. Madam is still waiting for you at the house." Shi Hu ordered, and with a flick of the whip, the horse let go of its hooves. He pulled the carriage and ran.

I found a grocery store, and Xuan Shijing bought half a bag of sesame seeds and two catties of icing sugar. These things won't spoil, anyway, I can make them if I want to eat them in the house, so it doesn't hurt to buy more.

"Shopkeeper, do you have glutinous rice flour here?" Xuan Shijing asked.

You can't use ordinary flour to make glutinous rice balls, you can only use sticky glutinous rice flour.

"Yes, many nobles will buy some, and go back to buy some pastries to eat. I wonder how much you want to buy?" the shopkeeper asked.

"Let's get half a bag first." Xuan Shijing didn't know how much it would be used to make glutinous rice balls, so he could only buy more and go back to prepare.

"Sure, sir, please." The shopkeeper took Xuan Shijing to weigh the glutinous rice flour.

After paying the money, Shi Hu walked out of the grocery store with his things on his shoulders. Shi Hu put all the things on the carriage and went back to the Hou Mansion.

"Ma'am, Master Hou is back." In the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Wang was sitting in the hall waiting for Xuan Shijing to come back for dinner, when she saw Long'er running in from outside, and then heard that it was Xuan Shijing who had returned.

"Get the kitchen ready to serve." Wang ordered.

"Ma'am, don't worry. Master Hou brought some things back and said that he wants to cook for dinner tonight, and let us help. Ma'am, do you want to change into some cleaner clothes first?"
