Chapter 172
Li Zhiwan didn't care much about the affairs in the boudoir, but she was not slow. Hearing Jian Xue's mention, she immediately connected all kinds of daily things together and pieced together many clues.

At that moment, Li Zhiwan's phoenix eyes flashed, and she said immediately: "Jianxue, your birthday will be coming next week, right?"

Jian Xue couldn't help but said happily after hearing this: "Yes, miss, what kind of gift do you want to prepare?"

Li Zhiwan shook her head, and said: "Change your birthday to tomorrow night, and call all the maids and mothers in each room, especially Yu's mother in my mother's room, and Wang's mother, you and Pingmei Let's test their tone at the banquet, and find out if Dad has seen anyone recently, as well as things about the Chai family."

Jian Xue saw that Li Zhiwan's expression had never been solemn, and immediately asked: "Miss, are you worried about something? But Fangfang's mother is not a tight-lipped person, I'm afraid they won't hear anything."

Li Zhiwan smiled, and said: "During the dinner, you take me a few bottles of rouge dew, this wine is so strong, and a few bowls of yellow soup, can these mothers still not speak?"

Jian Xue clapped her hands and smiled, and said: "Miss, this is a good idea."

Li Zhiwan nodded and said: "Jianxue is a matter of my life, you can't be careless." Both master and servant smiled knowingly. Taking the past as a common house, it is possible to turn it into a concubine's room in the future.This concubine is definitely more secure emotionally than the concubine that the husband later married, and the two of them can work together to help the wife maintain favor.Immediately Jianxue nodded in agreement and said: "Miss, don't worry, this matter is on my shoulders."
The next night, Li Zhiwan held a good banquet at the banquet hall in the embroidery building. After a while, Jian Xue, who was full of wine, avoided the banquet and came to Li Zhiwan's boudoir to whisper.While talking, Jian Xue looked at Li Zhiwan's expression, but Li Zhiwan was very calm, and suddenly got up and went directly to Li Yuan's main room.

Knowing Li Zhiwan's temper, Jian Xue couldn't stop worrying, and hurriedly followed Li Zhiwan.Li Zhiwan entered Li Yuan's room alone, while Jian Xue stood quietly at the small door.The voices of father and daughter came from Li Yuan's room soon after.Jian Xueyue's heart was disturbed when she heard it, only Li Yuan's voice gradually became higher, not to mention other people in Taiyuan County, probably only Li Zhiwan dared to talk to Li Yuan like this.If it were his two elder brothers, Li Jiancheng needless to say, even Li Shimin, who has always been informal, would not dare to do so.In the end, the noise in the room became louder and louder, and even Mrs. Dou, who was bedridden with a serious illness, was alarmed and entered the room.

"In the past, your mother and I were too used to you, but today we are so self-willed. You have no choice in this matter. From today until the Chai family comes to welcome relatives, you will live in Xiulou. If you take a step out of the gate, we will I don’t have your daughter.” In the end, there was a loud bang from inside the room, as if someone had been slapped.Startled, Jian Xue hurriedly went up to meet her, but was stopped by a servant, and at this moment Li Zhiwan came out as if she had lost her soul, but there was a trace of bright red blood on the corner of her mouth.

"Miss." Jianxue master and servant Lianxin immediately threw herself on Li Zhiwan and wept.At this time, two Qubu from Li's residence stepped forward to Li Zhiwan's side, and said: "Miss, please go back to Xiulou, don't make it difficult for us."

Jian Xue yelled angrily after hearing this: "How dare you treat Miss like this."

Seeing this, the two Qubu couldn't help showing embarrassment, and one of them said: "This is the master's order, please forgive me."

"Don't embarrass them, let's go." Li Zhiwan shook her head and said, but there was a determination in her eyes.

This day is the inauguration ceremony of Jinyang Palace. There are three cities in Jinyang City, which are Jinyang Palace, Cangcheng and Xincheng.

This is after Jin Wang Yang Guang became the governor of Bingzhou, and built a palace wall with a circumference of seven miles and a height of four feet outside the Jinyang Palace in the Northern Qi Dynasty. This is a new city.Six years later, Yang Guang built Cangcheng, a city within a city with a circumference of eight miles and a height of four feet.Cangcheng is used to store food, the new city can be used for defense, and Jinyang Palace can be described as a place for entertainment.Afterwards, Emperor Chang of the Sui Dynasty also recruited hundreds of thousands of migrant workers to build roads on the mountain, and built two express roads from Jinyang to the capital Chang'an and Yanmen Fenyang Palace, thus connecting the two places.The current Jinyang has already replaced Mayi Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and has become the most important city in Bingzhou, the place where the prefectures and counties are guarded.

Right now, at the completion ceremony of Jinyang Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials from Taiyuan County came, and officials from Mayi, Loufan, and Yanmen counties also came to congratulate.Li Yuan held a banquet and took the opportunity to win over officials from the four counties.The night was dark, and a full moon hung down in the sky.On the central stage right now, more than a dozen dancers in thin gowns are elegantly dressed, just like Chang'e in the moon, and the first group of officials is even more lively with wine and drinks.

On the inauguration ceremony, Li Chongjiu stepped into the gate of Jinyang Palace from the outside in official uniform.Li Chongjiu came here because Li Yuan sent someone to invite him to come here.Before Li Chongjiu Xingzang was Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng revealed that he could no longer hide in Jinyang, but at this time Li Yuan handed it to him in a handwritten letter, telling him that he had already dealt with the matter, saying that Jinyang Palace was just completed, please come Seeing this, participating in the grand ceremony can be regarded as a reason for him to leave his post without authorization.

Li Chongjiu wondered why Li Yuan was so kind. Now he saw that the soldiers who invited him were already outside the door, and he couldn't get away, so he informed Li Hu, Su Su and the others, and asked his confidants to immediately notify him of the armored cavalry outside the city. With a sound, Li Chongjiu went to Jinyang Palace to have a banquet with the soldiers.

And he arrived just at the very moment when the party had begun.Hundreds of officials gathered at the banquet, and everyone sat at the banquet, and when they saw a fifth-rank military general coming, they all raised their heads and talked a lot.

"Who is this person, fifth-rank General Yingyanglang, general Yingyanglang in Taiyuan's Eighteen Mansions, I know them all, there is absolutely no such person, and there is no such young person as this person, could it be that he is a descendant of some honor? "

"Brother Chen, you are not well-informed, but this is the famous champion."

"So that's how it is. He really is young and promising. Isn't he serving as Tongshou in Shanggu? How did he come here?"

The person who spoke heheed twice, and said, "I know a thing or two about this."

"Hey, brother Xu, don't be a fool, or you will be punished with alcohol."

"Okay, okay, I just heard from my wife that this champion Hou is interested in the third wife of Duke Tang's mansion. Now this person is estimated to have traveled thousands of miles to save face for his future father-in-law."

At this time, another person at the table smiled and said: "Brother Xu, your news is already old."

"Oh, Brother Gao, you must have a lot of experience as a counselor in the Left-behind Mansion, please enlighten me."

At that moment the man lowered his voice and said, "Don't you know yet? Mr. Tang has rejected the marriage proposal of Champion Hou. How could he come here with good intentions?"

PS: I have been busy these days, sorry, I will try to update tomorrow.
