Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 130 There is no harm without comparison!
"Your Majesty, have you finished eating? How does it taste?"

The old man hurried over and asked with a smile.

He had been in the ice room before.

But when he saw that Li Shimin and his companions were not making any trouble, he walked out and let them eat hotpot freely.

Li Shimin waved his hand and wanted to speak, but no word came out.

"belch……."

He burped loudly, reeking of alcohol.

Subsequently.

Then he said drunkenly: "The hot pot is delicious. Young Master Qin has such a special seasoning, but he doesn't even put it in Wangyun Inn. It must be his habit to hide everything."

"When he comes back, I have to have a good talk with him."

Li Shimin rubbed his stomach with both hands, squinted his eyes, and felt extremely comfortable.

"This... I'm afraid we can only wait until Xiao Qin comes back."

The old man couldn't say anything nonsense, so he could only respond casually.

Li Shimin nodded.

Behind him, Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui were fumbling to support Wei Zheng, who was a little dizzy, with some difficulty.

Wei Zheng drank the most wine among them, but compared with the past, it was only a small amount.

Just a few bowls.

But after a few bowls, it's already like this.

If Li Shimin had not stopped him, Wei Zheng would have probably fallen to the ground by now.

In this way, Li Shimin and his three companions left the house drunk.

The old man was worried that something might go wrong on the way, so he asked several servants from Wangyun Inn to accompany Li Junxian and escort Li Shimin back.

"I always feel like I've forgotten something."

The old man looked at the people going away, but he didn't feel relaxed in his heart.

He always felt.

There are still things that have not been done.

He went back with this thought in mind, until on the way, a report from a servant of Wangyun Inn made him suddenly realize.

"Master, His Highness Xiao Sizi is still in the ice house and has fallen asleep. What should we do?"

A servant from Wangyun Inn asked.

When he heard the name Xiao Sizi, the old man finally felt relieved.

Things that I have forgotten.

It’s Xiao Sizi.

His Majesty is really something. He was so full and satisfied that he even forgot about his daughter.

The old man shook his head, quite helpless.

"She's asleep... Then let Bai He take Little Princess Sizi back to the room that Your Highness gave her. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

He opened his mouth and gave orders.

The servant of Wangyun Inn was about to nod, but the next moment he seemed to think of something and said again: "Ms. Baihe, currently... is with Miss Shangguan. Taoist priest, you also know Miss Shangguan's temperament."

The old man was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "Of course I know, but her temperament is not comparable to that of His Highness Xiao Sizi. So, let Shangguan Wan'er and Bai He take His Highness Xiao Sizi back together."

"If Shangguan Wan'er is being naughty, just say that it was I who said that, and it was also... the order of our ancestors."

........................

When Du Ruhui, Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others came out of the imperial city, the night had deepened.

The sky was filled with bright stars, looking exactly like an ink painting.

The three of them parted ways with Li Shimin on the road. No one was left standing, and everyone was supported by the Jinwu Guards.

"Hahaha...refreshing, so refreshing, this is really so refreshing, beautiful, so beautiful, this wine...hiccups...tastes really good to drink."

Wei Zheng's face was red, he reeked of alcohol, and he walked unsteadily.

"Who says it's not true? Even someone like me who abstains from alcohol is somewhat fascinated by the wine of Prince Chu's Palace. I wonder if His Royal Highness Prince Chu has opened a shop. If so, I will buy it...hiccup...I will buy it."

Changsun Wuji congratulated drunkenly.

"The wine we drank just now has never been seen in the Tang Dynasty. I think it must be Mr. Qin's fine wine. If we use one bottle less, you still want to buy it? Dream on!!"

"Mr. Qin's cooking skills are really beyond reproach. And the hot pot is so delicious. It is not on the same level as the hot pot at Wangyun Inn. I have really lived in vain in the past years."

Du Ruhui couldn't even open his eyes.

Later on, we count the biggest sips he took.

It seems like he wants to make up for the fine wine he didn't get to drink in this life.

Now, my legs are weak and I can't move myself.

"Let's go, let's go home, and have a good sleep, hahahaha... Life like this is comfortable!"

Wei Zheng's voice was buzzing and he spoke with great excitement.

Wei Zheng and his two companions were completely drunk.

After leaving the imperial city, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji's house were greeted by the coachman who had been waiting there for a long time.

Wei Zheng was honest and incorruptible, so he didn't have a groom.

So the Jinwu Guards will have to send him back later.

………………

The next day.

Changsun Mansion.

Changsun Wuji got up early.

I rubbed my head and felt a slight headache.

Maybe it's because I drank too much last night.

The wine from Wangyun Inn has a strong aftertaste.

This leads to.

Even after getting up all night, Changsun Wuji still walked in a daze.

Many servants from the Changsun Mansion saw this on the way and were worried that the master might fall, so they all went up to ask if he needed help.

But Changsun Wuji rejected it outright.

Be strong throughout your life!
at this time.

Although he walked in a daze, his goal was firm. He knew what he wanted to do and walked straight towards a certain place in Changsun Mansion.

"Where is Chang Sun Chong?"

Suddenly, Changsun Wuji stopped and asked.

"Master, the young master is feeding the horses in the backyard. He said he will go out hunting in a few days." A servant immediately replied.

hunt?

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he became furious.

Good boy! !

He is so ignorant and unlearned that he has reached this point!
You are so old, why don’t you do anything you are supposed to do!
Still feeding the horses?
Still hunting?
Look at the other kid "Qin Wenyuan", how old is he now? He has already made such a great contribution to the world, and is still the most talented person in the hearts of the poor people in the world. Such wisdom, such insight, far exceeds Chang Sun Chong!
"Take me there!"

Changsun Wuji growled.

"what?"

"Yes, sir!"

The servants were shocked. You know, normally Changsun Wuji rarely cares about Changsun Chong's affairs. What happened today?
However, they did not dare to disobey and quickly supported Changsun Wuji and walked towards the backyard.

On the road.

Changsun Wuji saw a branch, picked it up and shook it in his hand.

Too light, too light.

Dissatisfied throw away.

After walking a few steps, I found another branch. This branch was much thicker than the previous one, but I was still not satisfied.

"Never mind, come and get the bolt!"

Changsun Wuji rolled up his sleeves and shouted.

Servant: …….
The corners of their mouths twitched.

What happened to the master today?
Are you trying to teach the young master a lesson, and you even need to use a door bolt?
this…….
The door bolt is so thick and strong, someone might die if you are not careful.

"Go quickly!"

But when Changsun Wuji glared at them, the servants dared not delay any longer and rushed out like the wind.

Soon, the servant came over with a door bolt as thick as his forearm. Changsun Wuji took it and waved it in his hand, looking extremely satisfied.

This time, Changsun Wuji rushed directly to the backyard, hid the door bolt behind him, and looked at Changsun Chong in front of him with a smile.

"Brat, come here, I want to tell you something." Changsun Wuji smiled amiably on his old face.

When Changsun Chong saw that it was Changsun Wuji, he ran over without any doubt.

"Dad, what happened? It's worth you coming all the way to see me."

But he just finished...
"what!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the entire Changsun Mansion.

At the same time, there was also the cry of Changsun Wuji.

"I told you to go hunting! I told you not to do your job!"

“What a shame!”

"Why don't you learn from Mr. Qin and see what he is doing at his age? Then look at yourself at your age and see what you are doing?"

"You can't make ice, let alone glass. Damn it, what else can you do besides eating and sleeping?"

"......."

Changsun Wuji was fierce and began to educate his own tutor.

Chang Sun Chong was crying and screaming, and ran away frantically in the backyard.

Qin Changye probably never imagined that he would become what others call the child of someone else's family.

...................
Not long after.

After the morning court session, Li Shimin left in a hurry.

He has an idea.

Take your baby daughter to Wangyun Inn!

He didn't even say a word. If there was anything to report, he would report it. If not, he would leave the court.

Li Shimin really didn't want to waste any more time. Obviously, Wangyun Inn was the place he most longed for.

However, things backfired.

Pei Ji stepped out directly.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Pei Ji spoke softly.

Li Shimin had just stood up, and when he heard this, he had no choice but to sit down again.

This!
This Pei Ji is really looking for trouble!

I've already hinted so clearly, yet you're still wasting time!
But Li Shimin thought so in his heart, but he could only be patient on the surface, waved his hand, and said: "Really? In that case, then Pei Sikong, please speak."

Pei Ji said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Turkic side. The Turkic envoys have set off and will arrive in Chang'an soon to supervise the offerings from the Tang Dynasty to the Turkic people. Your Majesty, please make good preparations to avoid confusion when the time comes."

The Turkic delegation is coming again.

However, this news did not cause any waves in the court.

This has been going on for three years in a row. Think about it, it's at this time every year, before the temperature in the Turkic steppe drops, that they come to Datang to take away a lot of needed supplies.

This year, it’s almost here.

However, the eyes of Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui flashed.

is coming?
Turkic?

It seems that the plan is about to be implemented.

Those glass statues in Wangyun Inn are finally put to use!!
Li Shimin listened to the news, took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Pei Sikong, I understand."

Pei Ji laughed and said, "If that's the case, then Your Majesty, I will inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to make preparations."

"Hmm? Notify the prince. Notify the prince for what?"

Li Shimin frowned, looking a little confused.

Just now, I didn't seem to say that I wanted the prince to take care of this matter.

Below, Pei Ji looked stunned.

He also looked at Li Shimin in confusion.

"Your Majesty, wasn't it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who handled this matter the previous times? This time... it should be the same as usual, right!?"

Pei Ji said.

"Oh, that's it. No need."

Li Shimin stood up, shook his head, and continued: "I will prepare this matter myself. I will not trouble you this time. I will adjourn the court!"

After saying that, Li Shimin walked directly to the back in a hurry.

This way, someone wouldn’t stop him and waste his time.

Pei Ji was stunned.

He looked at Li Shimin's back. This answer was really beyond his expectations.

Not only him, but also the pro-Li people such as Xiao Yu, Gao Shilian, Wang Gui and others all frowned, thinking they had heard wrongly.

This matter…….
Hasn't it always been handed over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Why is it that this year, His Majesty suddenly wants to personally take charge of it? !
This……

Such a sudden change caught them off guard.

Abnormal! How abnormal!
hiss!
Could it be that His Majesty already has feelings for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...
This idea suddenly popped up in the minds of several people.

Pei Ji and the others looked at each other, their hearts skipped a beat, and they quickly turned around and walked out, their steps extremely anxious.

But Changsun Wuji and his companions no longer had the heart to care about Pei Ji and the others.

All the officials dispersed and the three men rushed straight to the Taiji Palace.

"You are finally here. Let's go to Wangyun Inn."

Li Shimin was getting a little impatient.

Empress Changsun, Princess Changle who had just recovered from a serious illness, and Xiao Sizi were all ready to go.

"Your Majesty, Queen, Princess, please!"

The three of them said quickly.

Li Shimin walked out.

The crowd followed behind.

Empress Changsun found Li Shimin's anxious look a little funny.

"Your Majesty, don't be so anxious. Wangyun Inn is not far away. It's still early. Young Master Qin is not in Chang'an. Don't worry about anyone chasing you away."

Empress Changsun reminded.

Li Shimin paused, rubbed his nose, and felt a little embarrassed.

It's so embarrassing!
This, as an emperor himself, is so anxious.

It was so grand and gargantuan that those who didn't know would have thought it was a house raid.

"This...I, isn't this urgent?"

"By the way, Changle, the book you are holding looks very thick. What is it?"

Li Shimin changed the subject and asked curiously.

After these words were spoken, Changsun Wuji and the others all looked at Princess Changle.

Princess Changle smiled.

"Father, this is a storybook. Little Sizi thought Changle might have some materials, so he took it out of her treasure bag."

As she spoke, Princess Changle couldn't help but touch little Sizi's head.

"Oh, sister, it's nothing! It's just a book. Hehe, even Sizi can't understand that book. I'm glad you can understand it, sister."

Little Sizi was somewhat happy.

Listening to the conversation between the two sisters, Li Shimin was shocked.

It's a book taken out of the treasure bag!

Many things in that treasure bag were given to Xiao Sizi by "Qin Wenyuan", or were stuffed into it by Kuan'er. This means...the book in Changle's hand came from "Qin Wenyuan".

This!
What a surprise! I just found something to change the subject and found out more news about "Qin Wenyuan"!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin instantly became interested.

"What book is it and what it says."

Li Shimin asked as he walked.

I am looking forward to it.

"Father, the name is 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. It mainly tells stories within the mansion. If you have time, you can take a look."

Princess Changle replied.

Story book??

Boring.

Li Shimin sighed. The books he needed most now were those on military strategy and economics. Reading these books might help the Tang Dynasty. As for story books...
