Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

Not long after, Li Shimin and his party left the manor.

Su Chen walked out of the study with a piece of paper in his hand and came to the housekeeper Wang Xi.

"Wang Xi, go to the kitchen and tell Master Liu to prepare the ingredients for the hot pot for six tables, and go to the palace with us tomorrow."

"And a few dishes on the menu."

Su Chen plans to mainly cook hot pot at noon tomorrow, and add a few more dishes!

"Okay, Lord!" Wang Xi took the menu and bowed to receive the order.

"Five preparations and one, be prepared for any eventuality." Su Chen muttered to himself and returned to the study.

Just as Li Shimin left the manor and returned to the palace, Li Chengqian and Su Yan were rushing to the palace in a dusty manner. The wooden axle of the carriage seemed to lack lubricating oil.

It kept making a "jiga~jiga" sound, but fortunately, the Yanping Gate of the imperial city was right in front of him.

According to the normal speed, Li Chengqian should arrive in Chang'an City at noon tomorrow. It was because Su Yan reminded Li Chengqian that the prince and princess of the Western Regions would definitely be entertained by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and it would be inappropriate for the Crown Prince not to be present.

Therefore, Li Chengqian ordered the accompanying team to travel overnight.

He was also very concerned about the yaks of the Western Regions, and he had not heard Su Chen talking about it before.

…

"Your Highness, I have something to trouble you with."

Su Chen sat opposite Princess Changle in the study and asked with a smile.

Princess Changle's mouth curled up slightly, lowered her head and bowed, "I dare not, I dare not! My Lord, you can talk about it, I will do my best!"

"That's the thing. Aren't we going to go on a long journey to Fenglingdu for fun? It's two or three hundred miles away from Chang'an. In this case, we will definitely have to stay overnight there, maybe more than one night, don't you think?"

Speaking of this, Su Chen paused for a moment.

Princess Changle blinked, nodded, and stretched out her hand to signal Su Chen to continue.

"It's so cold. Although there is a kang for sleeping at night, there is no quilt!"

"So, get some maids from the palace tomorrow. Let them learn from those who have experience in making quilts before, and try to make more quilts before departure."

Flugging cotton is a physical job, so there are strong men in the village to do it. The processes of spinning cotton into cotton thread and sewing quilt covers can only be done by women with dexterity.

"No problem! I promise you that I will bring 15 maids from the palace to the manor tomorrow."

Princess Changle understood that she was looking for maids to rush to make quilts.

"Haha! That's good, don't forget it tomorrow!" Su Chen laughed, and did not forget to remind her.

"Don't worry, it will definitely not delay the Marquis's important matters!" Princess Changle assured again.

Su Chen nodded, "Well, if there is enough time to make a few cotton clothes, it would be even better. I guess it's almost time to leave when you are on vacation."

Princess Changle looked at the watch on her wrist, then tilted her head and looked at Su Chen:

"Why wait until tomorrow? Otherwise... send someone back to the palace to talk to my mother about this matter now?"

If you need a palace maid, it's right to ask Empress Changsun to prepare. Li Shimin never asked about such things.

"That's good, then I'll go and tell Wang Xi about it, and make a few more sets of cotton slingshots by the way."

"Well, I have a letter, you can have someone send it to the palace." Princess Changle took out paper and pen, and wrote quickly at the desk. She wrote a letter of more than ten words, folded it, and handed it to Su Chen.

"So fast?" Su Chen looked up at Princess Changle, who nodded and smiled softly.

"Can I see it?"

Princess Changle nodded again.

Curious, Su Chen spread out the letter, and after removing the punctuation marks, fifteen elegant and beautiful brush-written characters appeared on the paper:

‘Su Chen said: We need fifteen palace maids to spin and make quilts! ’

After reading the fifteen characters, Su Chen's eyes moved back and forth between the letter and Princess Changle's face.

"Beauty, I'm presumptuous to ask, did you write the same way to your mother before?" Su Chen remembered that there were several times when he sent messages to the palace, and they were all letters written by Princess Changle.

Princess Changle nodded in agreement, "What's wrong with that?"

Su Chen smiled lightly, "Haha, it's very good, standard fifteen characters!"

Then, the two walked out of the study.

"Zhang Long, have someone take it to the palace to pass it on to the queen!" Su Chen handed the letter without an envelope to Zhang Long.

"Okay, my lord!" Zhang Long immediately ran into the living room and took the letter.

"My Lord!"

"My Lord, I have already told Liu Yuchu about the banquet in the palace tomorrow. But... there may not be enough yak tripe for fifty people."

Wang Xi shouted as he walked out of the living room.

"It doesn't matter. It's not like we can eat all the same food. If there's not enough tripe, we can use beef balls and beef!" Su Chen smiled slightly. How could the emperor's banquet be like eating hot pot with his family in the manor?

Eat whatever you want!

It's even more impossible to slaughter a cow because of a lack of tripe. The yak slaughtered yesterday still has several hundred kilograms of beef left!"Okay, Lord, I understand. I'll tell Liu Yuchu right away." Wang Xi understood Su Chen's meaning and made more beef balls with the beef in the vegetable cellar.

"Wang Xi, wait a minute!" Su Chen immediately stopped Wang Xi and talked about business.

"Make a few more sets of cotton slingshots. There should be more than a dozen palace maids coming to the manor tomorrow. You arrange for them to follow the experienced female workers to spin yarn and make quilts."

After Su Chen finished speaking, Wang Xi bowed and saluted, "Here! I'll go to the kitchen first, and I'll arrange for someone to make slingshots when I come back!"

"It's too late today, I just want to tell you. It's okay to arrange someone to make slingshots tomorrow. It won't take one or two days." Su Chen waved his hand and smiled. Slingshots are not that easy to make.

"Okay, Lord, I understand!" Wang Xi bowed and turned to do business.

'Tomorrow, let's see what the princess of the Western Regions looks like. Will she look similar to modern Xinjiang women! '

Su Chen muttered to himself...

...

Chang'an City.

Inside the palace!

The bronze carriage that Li Chengqian was riding stopped inside the Suzaku Gate of the palace.

"Finally, we arrived before dark!"

"Su Yan, let me help you!"

As soon as Li Chengqian got off the carriage to breathe some fresh air, Su Yan leaned out of the carriage.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Su Yan smiled and thanked him, and got off the carriage with the help of Li Chengqian.

Su Yan landed smoothly, and Li Chengqian bowed to Zhao Dakai and saluted, "General Zhao, you have worked hard all the way, take the soldiers back to the system!"

"I have received your order!" Zhao Dakai clasped his fists and saluted, his armor rustling.

After the Eastern Palace Guards left, Li Chengqian looked towards the Taiji Hall. "Su Yan, wait for a while, I'll go see if my father is in the imperial study."

"Yes." Su Yan nodded and hummed lightly.

Li Chengqian ran to the steps of the Taiji Hall, but before he could take the first step, the guards in front of the hall ran down from the top of the steps.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! His Majesty has not returned to the palace yet, and is not in the palace!" The guards only knew that the emperor had left the palace, but did not know where he had gone.

"Yes, I know!" Li Chengqian nodded.

The guards in front of the palace clasped their fists and saluted, and returned to their posts.

"Su Yan, my father has gone to my brother-in-law. Let's go back to the East Palace first, and then go to my mother to pay respects later!" Li Chengqian came to Su Yan and said.

At this moment, there was a buzzing sound behind him, which was the sound of wheels rolling on the ground.

"Hey! My father is back!" Li Chengqian turned around and looked back, and an ordinary luxury carriage driven by two horses drove towards the Suzaku Gate.

In a blink of an eye, the carriage stopped beside Li Chengqian.
