Records of the King of Xin'an County

The fact that Yang Jieyu was diagnosed with pregnancy surprised even Shengren and Empress Du.After all, the sage didn't have a good impression of her, but he just got up to visit the fourth princess and took a rest in her palace.Just this time, she became pregnant with a dragon heir, and her luck was really good.

In contrast, Yuan Meiren has been bedridden and recuperated, and she never got the chance to be favored. Concubine Yuan Shu, who was anxious to give birth to a child, couldn't help but reprimanded her several times in private.It is said that she listened silently with tears and did not make any excuses, which made the maidservants serving beside her feel a little bit of pity, and many rumors, true and false, spread in private.If it wasn't for Concubine Yuan Shu's ability to intimidate her, these rumors would have already reached the ears of the sage and Queen Du.

Concubine Yang Xian, who heard the news at the same time, almost broke her nails that were covered with Impatiens flower juice.King Qi, who had already moved out of the Tai Chi Palace, did not know who had listened to it, and suddenly broke out, crying and complaining that he missed Grandpa and Grandma, felt uncomfortable staying in the palace, and so on.Concubine Yang Xian put her arms around him and begged the saint for a long time. The saint stared at the mother and son for a long time, then shook his sleeves and left.

Empress Du had vaguely heard of these farces, but they were nothing more than a joke.Naturally, she would not embarrass a little Jieyu, she still gave Yang's ninth concubine the title, and sent an imperial physician to diagnose and treat her.As for Concubine Yang Xian and Concubine Yuan Shu, she was inconvenient and did not need to take care of them, as they continued to plan secretly.

Suddenly, three pregnant concubines appeared in the palace, which made many people's eyes turn away from Pei Meiren and Hu Cairen.After all, although Meiren Pei is also from a top-notch family, she is still far inferior to Yang Jieyu in terms of family power.If both of them gave birth to a prince, it might be possible to change the situation in the harem.

Princess Changning has always hated the Yang family, and was impatient to see Yang Jieyu who came to pay her respects every day in Anren Hall, so she shifted her attention to the "business".One is to pay attention to the news of the Princess Anxing's mansion, and to express her attitude appropriately in various banquets; the other is to let her cousin and prince dedicate to her to explain the map, military affairs, and major affairs of the court, etc., and learn to learn from all sides. The returned message is judged to be true or false.

She grew up before Empress Wende's sick bed since she was a child, and she also followed Emperor Taizong's filial piety, and she was a little more sensitive about political affairs than ordinary princes.Moreover, when she was still young, the sage did not shy away from her very much, and often discussed small matters of the previous court with Empress Du.At that time, she seemed to understand, but then she gradually figured it out.Therefore, what she lacks is only experience and opportunities.And these, Li Hui and Wang Zixian will teach her without reservation.

Soon after, He Cheng, Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang also silently joined the discussion.Yan Balang, who has withstood the test, also participated in it from time to time with excitement.Of course, with their current level, they can only listen in silently.Li Hui and Wang Zixian will not disclose many key matters easily, just in case they discuss excitedly in private, and teach irrelevant people to catch clues.

At the same time, Cheng Qing became closer to these juniors by two points.At first, perhaps he really came here with all his eggs in one basket.Because after so many years, Liang Guogong's mansion has no choice, and it is impossible to make people believe that they have nothing to do with Princess Anxing. They can only hope that these juniors who do not have much power will accept him in order to strengthen themselves.Now, he said to himself countless times in his heart: It is indeed the right choice.If these young men and young ladies in front of them can continue to walk forward vigorously, they will definitely become masters in the future.

Li Hui and Princess Changning also kept their promise and did not treat him and Liang Guogong's government badly.Sponsored by Li Hui, he secretly met with the sage and obtained the "understanding" of the sage.Although Liang Guogong's mansion may not be able to keep the Duke's title and can only continue to be degraded, and he may not be able to continue to live a luxurious life in Chang'an City openly - but for the Cheng family, being able to protect themselves is enough.

In a blink of an eye, three or four months passed, and after mid-autumn, the autumn wind gradually became cooler.

On this day, after everyone had a small gathering at You Ci'en Temple, Princess Changning suddenly asked with a smile: "Brother, how is the construction of the Princess Mansion and the County Prince's Mansion going? Let's go for a walk together in the next two days? Invite some speculators." Friends, it's time to go with each other." These days, she only cares about "studying", not only the affairs of the princess's mansion, but she doesn't even pay attention to her own marriage.If Yan Zhan hadn't entered the palace every now and then to greet the empress and visit her by the way, she might have forgotten even this son-in-law.

"Don't worry, the princess mansion has been built, and the furnishings are being arranged inside and out." Li Hui said, "Put all the large and small pieces in your dowry inside, and the rest will be enough to fill 120 or eight liters. Even if the group The officials are gearing up for impeachment, but they can't find any faults." When Emperor Taizong married his daughter, because the dowry of Princess Qinghe exceeded the limit, he and the officials came and went many times, and finally Emperor Taizong had to accept it. It ended with remonstrance.It can't be said that there are many officials who are waiting for today's saints to make such a thing.

"That's true. Many people have secretly asked me about your lord's dowry. No matter whether they are strictly abiding by the etiquette system, or trying to make a name for a while, your lord can't give anyone a handle." The prince offered.Although the officials are admonishing saints, Empress Du and Princess Changning will also be affected to a certain extent.

"I will persuade Grandpa, and Grandpa will not let Grandpa be capricious." Princess Changning laughed.

She doesn't care about the dowry, after all, no matter how precious gold, silver and jewelry are old and dusty, only property is the foundation.Because of being favored, she has already obtained three hundred real households, and the money she holds is better than many aunts and grandmothers.With the support of Empress Du, she also bought other courtyard shops in Beijing and manors outside Beijing. The saint also planned to continue to fill various other industries in her dowry-only these, compared with many state princes The industries that the government has operated for a long time are almost the same.

"As for the construction progress of the county palace—" Li Hui looked at Yan Balang next to him, "Balang knows better."

"After the completion of the Princess Mansion, the general will do his best to build the County King's Mansion. However, after all, the time is short, and only a few courtyards on the middle road have been built right now. It will definitely be completed before the end of the year." Yan Balang was very excited. He said bluntly, "After your lord gets married, you can go boating through the canal and go to the county prince's mansion."

"At that time, the water was frozen, so why go boating?" Princess Changning asked with a half-smile, "Let's build a fence on the canal for now. Before brother moves into the county palace, it's better to be careful. Think about it carefully." It is not appropriate for the two governments to come and go too casually." She was not guarding against others, but Yan Zhan.Until she was sure that he was trustworthy, she didn't intend to reveal her own strength to him.

Hearing this, Yan Balang, who blushed slightly because he felt that he had said something wrong, immediately wrote it down: "Don't worry, your lord, we will put up two fences to separate them."

Li Hui also guessed what she meant, and said: "In March next year, we will open the fence, hold a banquet on the lake, and go boating slowly along the canal. It should be very interesting. The gardens of the two families will be combined. It’s more interesting than other people’s houses just having a garden.” As for whether he will move into the county prince’s mansion at that time, it depends on the will of the sage.If Yan Shi still stays in Chang'an, then he will come and live with Yan Shi, and it will be regarded as moving.

Wang Zixian frowned slightly, and thought about it carefully: Yankang Fang and Yongxing Fang are one west and one east, so it is very inconvenient to travel.It seems that it is also time to buy a mansion in the nearby Lifang.However, Yongxingfang and its neighbors Yongchangfang, Anxingfang, Chongrenfang, Shengyefang, Daningfang, etc. are all places where dignitaries live together.Even in a small mansion with three entrances, maybe the people living there are generations of Zanying clan, so it is not easy to offend.With his current official position, it is almost impossible to buy a mansion in these lifangs.

Perhaps, the only way to buy a house is in Pingkangfang, Wubenfang, Xuanyangfang, Chongyifang, etc., which are slightly to the south.It doesn't have to be too big, even just one or two entries.Let Sun Rong buy it quietly, and then rent it out silently. In the future, he and Xuan Qi will have other places to go.It is said that the cunning rabbit has three caves, and it is not a bad thing to have more preparations for such a house.

Of course, it wasn't just him who was thinking about the future.After returning to Prince Pu's Mansion, Li Hui took out several house deeds: "There is another courtyard that I bought myself, and there is also a mansion that grandpa and elder brother gave me earlier. Which one do you think is more suitable? It should be rebuilt earlier. So, let Mr. Song and He Cheng live in, and simply change the house deed to Mr. Song's... It won't make Mr. Song feel as if he is under the fence, and we can often come and go in the future." He is not without selfishness, and by visiting Mr. Song, no matter how close they are, it won't make people suspicious.

"..." Wang Zixian looked at him fixedly, and couldn't help but smile with the corners of his lips curled up: it turns out that both of them are thinking about the future...

"Why are you laughing suddenly?" Li Hui was a little dazed—the next moment, the people around him came closer and kissed him deeply.

Between lips and tongue, those house deeds were scattered all over the ground, which had long been unable to attract anyone's interest and attention.However, if His Royal Highness Pu Wang and Si Pu Wang who are far away in Luoyang know, they will definitely feel heartbroken: the carefully prepared five-entry mansion is for your own use, not just anyone can buy it and live in it ! !This prodigal son (brother), is it possible to tear down those transgressive places? !

Of course, they didn't know these things, so they couldn't express their opinions.Even Princess Pu Yan's family acquiesced in Li Hui's actions, watching helplessly as the youngest son happily sent out a five-entry courtyard, and then changed the layout of the courtyard with great interest.At this moment, she was quite puzzled: Is this other courtyard given to Mr. Song?Or was it given to the prince?How do you think it should be the latter?

Mr. Song, who accepted this other courtyard unceremoniously, glanced at his lover: "For now, I will keep it for you. If I return to the west with a crane in the future, this mansion will be yours."

"Mister will definitely live longer than Nanshan." Prince Xian said with a smile, his face full of spring breeze.
