Chang'an Fu

Here, Li Yu and his party hurried to Chang'an, and the first thing they did when they returned to Chang'an was to order Yu Fei to escort "Hadanu" to Dali Temple and wait for the emperor to send him off.

And the other three are one step ahead

Looking at the bustling streets of Chang'an, Xiao Cheng sighed

"The city of Chang'an really lives up to its reputation, it's prosperous!"

"It's natural, otherwise how can it be called the capital of the country?" Li Yan was also in a good mood after entering Chang'an

"Second brother, since we are going to the palace to meet the saint, we still have to go back and clean up. After all, the road is full of dust and dust. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go to see the father like this." Li Yan suggested going home to freshen up first, anyway "Hada "Nu" has been taken to Dali Temple

Li Yan is four years older than Li Yu, and the prince can open his own mansion when he reaches [-], so Li Yu is also the age to confer the title of king and build a mansion this year. Although he has not yet saluted, his mansion has been established early, but It's not that the emperor loves him so much, it's just that this mansion was lived by the former emperor's favorite son and prince. Since the emperor cut down the prince, this mansion has been empty

Later, frugality was advocated, and extravagance should not be advocated. When Li Yu mentioned that he would open a mansion for Li Yu in the early stage, Li Yu asked Emperor Xianning for this mansion.

After separating from Li Yan, Li Yu brought Xiao Cheng back to his mansion. Since the position of crown prince had not been determined, the two princes had never been crowned kings, so there was no sign of this plaque.

That Li Yan likes elegant characters, so he named his mansion Fengyaju

In fact, when Li Yu heard this name again, he complained a lot, saying that his name was not very different from Yinghongyuan.

But he naturally kept such words in his heart and would not say them to Li Yan

And Li Yu's mansion is even more simple, it doesn't even have a name, just an empty plaque with no words, but even so, those common people know that this mansion belongs to his second prince Li Yu

After all, in Chang'an City, who doesn't know the second prince?

When Li Yu came to the palace to face the saint, Li Yan was already in the Emperor's Feishuang Hall

"My son sees my father." After saluting, he turned to Li Yan and said, "Brother Huang is much faster than me."

"I just arrived too"

"The two emperors have worked hard." Although he said so, Emperor Xianning's eyes quickly drifted to Li Yan's side, "Yan'er, have you ever met your mother?"

"Never, but after seeing the father and the emperor, the children will naturally go to see the mother and the queen."

Li Chuang nodded, "That's fine."

He didn't notice Li Yu's cold eyes when he said this

"This time, the two emperors have made great achievements in solving the case, and the emperor will reward you a lot." Li Chuang was very happy, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"Solving the case is what I should do, and besides, I have been imprisoned by Hadanu all this time, it's all thanks to the emperor's brother," Li Yu shirked, and gave all the credit to Li Yan by the way.

Li Yan smiled knowingly, and said modestly, "It is the duty of the sons and ministers to share the worries of the father and the emperor, and there is no need for rewards."

Seeing that his emperor's son is so sensible, Li Chuang smiled even more happily, "Okay, my son is very comforting to my heart!"

"I don't know how the father plans to deal with Hadanu?" Li Yan asked

"Does Yan'er have any ideas?" Li Chuang put away his smile and asked

"My son believes that since Hadanu belongs to Mongolia, this matter must have something to do with the Mongolian leader Zhungeer. Although Mongolia has never expressed the idea of ​​​​confronting us in Bianliang, this matter must be guarded against."

"Then Yan'er thinks how to defend against it?"

"Naturally, Gu Huai is sent to guard the north. As long as the connection between Mongolia and the Huns is cut off, a small Mongolia will not be able to make waves." Li Yan's analysis was straightforward, and he didn't notice Li Chuang's gradually cooling down. eyes

"I have my own plan for this matter, the emperor will step down first." Li Chuang helped his forehead, "Oh, by the way, remember to say hello to your mother and concubine, I will go to see her tonight"

Li Yan was very happy to hear that his father loved his mother and concubine so much, and quickly agreed, "Yes, I will definitely tell my mother and concubine."

Although the emperor has many concubines, few of them are really favored. Even though the emperor is in his prime, he has not selected a new concubine into the palace for several years, so when he comes and goes, only the imperial concubine Su is the most favored , even Qin Guifei has to be courteous

Li Yu left Feishuang Palace and rushed to Wanhua Palace non-stop. Before stepping into the gate of Wanhua Palace, he saw Qingyue waiting at the door

Seeing Li Yu's figure, Qingyue rushed forward to meet her

"The second prince has finished seeing the emperor?"

Li Yu hummed from his nose and asked, "Where is the concubine mother?"

"The empress is waiting for you, the second prince. Since she knew that the second prince was coming back, she ordered her servants to prepare your favorite horseshoe lily cake for you. Come in with me."

As soon as Li Yu entered the door, he saw his mother and concubine, but compared to the last time she left by herself, she seemed to be thinner, Li Yu stepped forward with distress

"Mother concubine!"

"Yu'er, you are finally back, show your mother and concubine quickly"

Probably because of Li Yu's return, Concubine Yu's face was a little more rosy, and her body seemed to be getting better

Li Yu let Concubine Yu drag him around to check, and finally made him sit down after reading it all over.

"It's fine, it's fine." After saying that, he remembered the horseshoe lily cake on the table

"Quick, I asked Qingyue to make this for you. Eat it while it's hot. It won't be so delicious when it gets cold later."

As he spoke, he pushed the plate of pastries in front of Li Yu

Li Yu picked up this long-missed taste, put it in his mouth and ate it with relish, it was still the same taste

Speaking of this horseshoe lily cake, there is another allusion. Li Yu liked to eat horseshoe fruit when he was a child, but his health was not good at that time. Eating too much water chestnut fruit was not good for his health, so Concubine Yu never let him eat it. After touching this thing, he was greedy and secretly ate a lot of horseshoe nuts, and he got sick in the middle of the night and had a stomachache. Later, the imperial doctor gave him some medicinal lilies, which relieved his illness

But even if he recovers from his illness, he still doesn't have a long memory. This worries Concubine Yu, after all, when the child grows up, he can't see it forever

Later, I came up with the method of this horseshoe lily cake. The combination of the two, one harm and one benefit, I didn't expect Li Yu to like to eat this, so I have eaten it for so many years

"Well, Qingyue, you are no worse than your mother's queen, you can become a teacher." Li Yu said while eating, suddenly remembered something

"By the way, concubine mother, is there more of this? I want to take it away!" Li Yu pointed to the horseshoe lily cake on the plate and said

Hearing this, Concubine Yu and Qingyue looked at each other and smiled, "Yes! I knew you were not good at eating, so I specially made some more for you to bring back to your house to eat."

Then he took the lunch box Qingyue handed over and put it in front of Li Yu

"Here, I specially packed it for you, it should still be hot when you take it back."

Li Yu nods while stuffing the pastry in his mouth

Farewell to Concubine Yu, Li Yu's first thing is to go to the General's Mansion!

He wanted to go find Gu Huai before he left!

But standing outside the mansion right now, he was a little flustered. He wanted to find out from Gu Huai before, but now he was a little messed up. Maybe this is what people call being close to home.

But the general's mansion is really as rumored, there is not a single guard

Just as he was staring at the door and hesitating whether to go in, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Hey, what are you doing sneakily!"

Li Yu looked back

"Guo Ye!"

"Second prince!"

"You're back to Chang'an!" Guo Ye said

"Yeah, I just came back. Why don't we come to see if Yan Ping is here?" At this moment, Li Yu saw Xiao Yanran behind Guo Ye.

"Isn't this Miss Xiao? Why are you here!"

Xiao Yanran bowed slightly to Li Yu, she had already accepted that her previous benefactor was the famous Gu Huai, so she was not surprised that the other benefactor was the prince

Seeing Li Yu's unbelievable face, Guo also said

"It's hard to say, let's talk as we walk," he led Li Yu in as he spoke.

"You said Miss Xiao's family was wiped out?" Li Yu said this in a very small way, afraid that Xiao Yanran would hear something sad again. "Then where is the token now?"

"General, after all, it is a matter of right and wrong, we should keep it for you," Guo also replied.

"Here is the general's room." Guo also brought someone near Gu Huai's room, "I'm going to help Uncle Gu cook."

"Uncle Gu?" Li Yu was a little curious when he heard this. After all, as far as he knew, Gu Huai had no relatives.

"It's an official from the general's mansion." After finishing speaking, he led Xiao Yanran back

"Brother Guo, didn't you say that you have something to do with Brother Gu? Why don't you help Uncle Gu cook?" Xiao Yanran asked puzzledly on the way to leave

"You don't understand, anyway, it's a place of wrongdoing, we'd better stay away." Guo didn't want to explain too much, he left this sentence and took Xiao Yanran home
