Not long after, the concierge left and returned.

"Marquis Ningyuan, Madam Hou, my Royal Highness the Crown Princess invites you."

The concierge raised his hand in greeting.

Immediately, people from the East Palace came to help lift the sacks from Li Zonghui and Li Xuan's hands.

A group of people entered the east palace gate, and the ministers who were still standing outside were shocked.

Within a short period of time, two messages were received.

First, Li Zonghui became Marquis Ningyuan!
Second, Li Zonghui’s family packed gifts in sacks and entered the East Palace!
What's the difference between them?

In terms of etiquette, they are certainly not bad.

But how did Li Zonghui become Marquis Ningyuan?
Thinking that they came to the gate of the East Palace early in the morning, they might have missed some important information.

Thinking of this, the ministers brought gifts one after another and returned home.

Although they also knew that Li Zonghui's family had a good relationship with the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess was not Li Zonghui's biological niece.

This family must have some means to win the favor of the Crown Princess.

This is a good way to get in touch with His Highness the Crown Prince through the Crown Princess.

Thinking of this, the ministers planned to ask in person whose sack was more valuable, and also asked the two highnesses in the East Palace what they liked to eat and use, so they had to put it in sacks.

Inside the East Palace.

Li Zonghui and his party came to the front hall, where Li Yuyan was already waiting.

"Why are uncle and aunt here?"

He saluted and said with a smile: "The imperial edict came this morning. Your uncle said he would come to thank your two highnesses, so we came." She pointed to the two sacks, "The contents are all grown at home. I hope the prince The concubine accepts it!"

Li Yuyan also laughed: "My uncle has become the Marquis of Ningyuan. I hope that my uncle will assist His Royal Highness more in the future."

"What did the Crown Princess say?" Li Zonghui nodded and said, "I should be loyal to His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness is the only one who will follow!"

Where does His Highness the Prince need his assistance?
He knew that what the Crown Princess said was to give him great face.

In this case, he should express his position.

Li Yuyan nodded, asked everyone to sit down, and ordered people to serve tea and snacks.

After Li Yuyan asked about Li Xuan's knowledge, Li Xuan performed a set of sword skills.

"It's good to improve your skills, and you should do well in your knowledge." Li Yuyan applauded.

Li Xuan sheathed his sword, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, sister, for the tip!"

Not long after, Li Yuyan ordered his servants to move two sacks of vegetables to the dining room, and asked to add more dishes.

He said: "When the imperial edict arrived this morning, we were still confused. Originally, I had to go to the Yamen, but the edict also said that we were allowed to take a day off, so we came."

Li Jiajia also said: "Yes, sister, we didn't expect that the imperial edict was delivered directly to Zhuangzi. Daddy is very flattered that it comes so far away."

Li Zonghui repeatedly said: "Thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's kind words in front of the Emperor, and also thanks to the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, I was able to obtain such a title."

Li Yuyan nodded, thinking of his brother Li Yi, but did not answer.

Ning Yuanhou, this title was actually prepared by the emperor for brother Li Yi.

At that time, my elder brother made great achievements in battle, but because of his young age, and because the concubine Xian played the wind in the emperor's ears, the matter of becoming a marquis was delayed.

Later, my brother died on the battlefield.

The emperor felt sorry for him, so he named Li Zongfa the Marquis of Ningyuan, and Li Yi's military exploits were also taken over by Li Hao.

Regarding Li Yuyan's silence, Li Zonghui could understand the reason after just a moment's thought, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, I and my family will move back to Ningyuan Marquis Mansion soon. The Marquis Mansion belongs to Li Yi, and everything in the mansion is as usual. We will not Feel free to change it.”

Li Yuyan smiled lightly: "Uncle, you are now the Marquis of Ningyuan, and everything in the mansion is naturally your decision. Since you are the Marquis of Ningyuan, the main courtyard of the mansion should be where your uncle and aunt live. If you have guests like this, you will not say anything. Good gossip.”

He said: "What Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess said makes sense!"

Li Yuyan nodded.Li Zonghui felt very sorry and said: "Sister-in-law's yard, Li Yi's yard, and the Qingyu Residence where the Crown Princess lived are all kept by me. I will order people to clean them from time to time. The Hou Mansion is also considered your Highness's natal family, so please come back and visit from time to time. look."

Hearing this, Li Yuyan couldn't control her tears.

When He saw this, he immediately stood up and held her in his arms.

"Husband, why don't you say anything, why did you mention sister-in-law and Li Yi?"

Her eyes felt hot and the tip of her nose felt sore.

Li Yuyan leaned in He's arms: "I can't blame my uncle, I just miss my mother and brother."

He gently patted Li Yuyan's back and said with tears, "If my sister-in-law is alive in heaven, she will be happy knowing that Your Highness is now the Crown Princess."

Li Yuyan nodded, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said softly: "I've made my uncle and aunt laugh. Today, my uncle is made a marquis. It's a great joy, so I'll have a few drinks in the East Palace."

Li Zonghui got up and bowed: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

At this moment, Ye Yiheng came slowly.

Seeing Li Yuyan's eyes turning red, she stepped forward and asked, "What happened to anger the Crown Princess?"

"Nothing." Li Yuyan changed the subject, "Li Xuan has performed a set of sword skills. Your Highness would like to see it and give you some pointers."

Ye Yiheng lifted up his robe and sat down, and Li Xuan drew his sword and danced again.

Jiangyang Hou Mansion.

The news that Li Zonghui was enfeoffed reached Ji Qingyu's ears.

"It's really fast." He smiled, "The emperor's uncle is really anxious about my marriage."

Li Zonghui became the Marquis of Ningyuan, and Li Jiajia was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Ningyuan.

It's okay to match him.

But he wanted to know, what would Li Yuyan think if he and Li Jiajia were together?
Really interesting.

He suddenly wanted to know Li Yuyan's mood eagerly.

But now it is so difficult for him to see her. How can he meet her alone?
Thinking of Li Yu's identity as the master of Yan Linqing Pavilion...

Ji Qingyu decided to go to the palace.

Carrying home-brewed orange wine, he boarded the carriage.

When he arrived at the palace, the emperor was preparing to have a meal.

In the past few days, the emperor had eaten alone.

At this moment, he saw Ji Qingyu coming with wine. Because his leg was injured, he was limping when he walked, so the emperor ordered someone to help him.

Ji Qingyu smiled and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty, uncle. My nephew brought you orange wine. It is sweet and refreshing, suitable for drinking at noon."

Eunuch Ma took the orange wine from Ji Qingyu and tested the poison with a silver needle. After making sure it was non-toxic, he released it in front of the emperor.

The emperor raised his hand: "Since you are here, come and have a few drinks with me."

Ji Qingyu saluted and took his seat.

After drinking for three rounds, the emperor said: "The imperial decree has been issued this morning, and Li Zonghui is already the Marquis of Ningyuan."

"My nephew already knows." Ji Qingyu poured wine for the emperor, "My nephew came here to learn some news."

"what?"

"My uncle has been looking for the miracle doctor. My nephew knew the whereabouts of the miracle doctor and came to the palace specially."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Oh, do you know who the miracle doctor is?"

Ji Qingyu nodded: "This person is very capable and is good at dealing with difficult and complicated diseases. My nephew thinks that this person must have a way to develop the longevity medicine that my uncle wants."

The emperor took a sip of wine and asked, "Qing Yu, what do you think this person should do if he cannot develop the elixir of longevity?" (End of Chapter)
