Kyoto.
There is an extremely wide flat land behind the Shizi Mansion. Li Xuan bought this land two months ago.
At this time, under the urging of the knight on the horseback, a galloping horse galloped along a certain fixed route. A rope was tied to the horse's body, connecting it to a black spot in the sky far away.
If someone has excellent eyesight, he might be able to see that the black spot is actually a huge kite. Under the strangely shaped kite, a black dog with panic eyes wide open, looks like a king. Looking down at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains below him, he greeted the eighteen generations of ancestors of the guy who sent him to heaven in his heart.
Even though it has flown countless times, it is a dog after all, how can a dog be expected to get used to the sky
For it, soaring around the sky with a dog's gall is far less interesting than doing happy things with his mother-in-law while the old Wang next door is away.
Not many people cared what kind of mood the dog was flying with. A few figures stood below, recording some data on paper from time to time. The experiment has been half a month without any problems. Meaning they won't be able to eat dog meat hot pot for a long time - it's a really sad thing.
At noon in April, when the weather was clear, it was already a bit hot.
It would be tiring to keep your neck up for a long time, and it would also be a little hot. Li Xuan took off his coat and threw it on the grass beside him.
"Husband, there are several empresses in the palace who sent people to ask what kind of perfume they will release next. The wives of those powerful families have invited concubines many times." What came was a faint fragrance.
Smelling his favorite fragrance of orchids, Li Xuan's spirit shook slightly, and he said, "Didn't I say it all, Uncle Huang can't smell that kind of smell, what do these concubines want to do?"
There was a wry smile on the face of the concubine, Princess Yongle, the perfume business that Li Xianzi cooperated with her family, has now caused an unimaginable sensation in the capital, as long as she is a woman, no matter her status or status, she is obsessed with it. Several spice shops in the store had closed their doors as early as a month ago.
Your Majesty's concubine is also a woman, and she is the most distinguished woman, how can she be compared to ordinary people in such matters
Even her mother's family has implicitly proposed several times that they want to cooperate.
She couldn't imagine that the Wang family couldn't help being tempted. How profitable this perfume business should be...
However, there is no trace of Li Xianzi these days, and Princess Yongle has never cared about business matters. In fact, the Shizi Mansion has always been in charge of the perfume business outside.
As the hostess of the Prince's Mansion, she has received countless invitations during this time, so she has naturally become extremely busy.
"It's okay for other people to talk, but they are all empresses, so they don't want to talk back." She handed a small and exquisite jug to Li Xuan, glanced at the black spot in the sky, and then turned her head and said.
"There's no rush for this matter. We'll talk about it in a few days." Li Xuan took a few sips of the jug with a rough mouth, and he learned this way of drinking from Li Yi. Of course, the two People who don't have a good capacity for alcohol can only drink grapes in this way.
After a while, he put down the jug, wiped his mouth, and asked, "What date is it today?"
The concubine Shizi thought for a while and said, "The eighth day of the fourth lunar month."
"The eighth day of April—it's been two months." Li Xuan looked into the distance and murmured in a low voice.
…
…
"It's been two months, where have they been?"
Inside the Hall of Qinzheng, Emperor Jing put down a memorial, walked outside the hall with his hands behind his back, breathed in the fresh air outside, and felt a lot better in his chest.
"Return to Your Majesty, they have stayed in Yuezhou for five days, and they should arrive at Qing'an Mansion soon." Chang De stood behind Emperor Jing and said in a low voice.
"What a lazy boy, I was almost exhausted in Beijing, but he was lucky enough to play for two whole months. If all the officials were like him, my Jing Kingdom would have perished long ago." Emperor Jing smiled. He complained, but there was a trace of envy in his tone, and he said: "Sometimes, I also envy him very much. Although I am the king of a country, I am far less comfortable than him."
"How about the old slave call him back?" Chang De asked tentatively.
Emperor Jing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it, I don't compare with him. Since ancient times, how can there be an emperor who is at ease... However, after he left, there was no one who could accompany me for a long time. Let's have a meal."
Chang De nodded slightly, and for some reason, ever since His Majesty had a meal with that kid while concealing his identity in Prince Ning's mansion, His Majesty, who had always lost his appetite, could always eat it in front of him. a lot of things…
Your Majesty is right, that kid is a complete weirdo.
"Has the envoy of the State of Qi left yet?" Emperor Jing asked casually.
Chang De said: "No, the third prince of Qi State stayed in Honglu Temple instead, wandering around the capital every day, even going in and out of brothels several times, but he didn't do anything else."
"I heard that the third prince of Qi State is both civil and martial arts, and he is very outstanding among the princes of Qi State, but since he didn't do anything, let him go."
Emperor Jing said something, and when he was about to walk back into the hall with his hands behind his back, there was a sudden loud noise from the side corridor.
Changde frowned slightly. In recent days, the concubines in the palace have been obsessed with that kind of thing called "perfume". However, Li Xianzi told him to keep His Majesty as far away from that thing as possible. Naturally, he would not let those concubines get close. Your Majesty, I don't know how many people have stopped these days.
"Father, Father..."
This time it was obviously not a certain concubine. Princess Shouning pushed away the two guards, trotted over, ran to Emperor Jing, and said happily, "Father, why are you here? It will make Shouning easy to find for a while."
Emperor Jing touched her head lovingly, and said, "What's the matter, do you want to go out of the palace to play with your brother Xuan again?"
Shou Ning blushed, and said, "Father, he is not as playful as you think—besides, brother Xuan is not just playing, what he makes is of great use to Jingguo."
Emperor Jing smiled and said: "Okay, Father is still busy, tell me quickly, what can you do with Father?"
"Oh, I almost forgot about the business!" Princess Shouning immediately waved her hand after hearing this, and said, "Hurry up and bring it here..."
Afterwards, she turned her head to look at Emperor Jing with a smile, and said, "Father, I made soup just now. If you are tired of reviewing the memorials, you can try it..."
"Soup… "
Hearing the words, Emperor Jing seemed to have thought of something terrible, his expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly said: "Shou Ning, father still has a few important memorials to review, you go and play first, put the soup there first, Father will drink again later..."
Seeing Emperor Jing striding towards the palace, Princess Shouning was a little disappointed, then she seemed to think of something, turned to look at Chang De and said: "The soup is not good when it is cold, Mr. Chang, you serve Emperor Father You should be tired too, how about you try it?"
Even though he is a first-class master in this world, he can face the martial arts master head-on, but facing Princess Shouning's Tang, the number one master in the palace immediately changed his face.
"Wait, I'll serve you..."
Princess Shouning ran to the maid carrying the tray, and when she turned her head to talk to Changde, she found that the opposite side was empty, the gate of Qinzheng Hall was closed, and a cloud of smoke spread in front of her eyes...
"Who is it..."
It took a while for Princess Shouning to realize what had happened. She pouted her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "I have practiced it several times according to my master's teaching!"
