Li Hai smiled slightly: "Queen, tell me, how should I reward Prime Minister Yan?"
Rong Chang'an knew that Yan Li's ambition was to keep the river clean, the sea clean, the country rich and the people safe, and he couldn't see the behavior of oppressing and exploiting the people, so he said to Li Hai: "Your Majesty, why don't you just give Prime Minister Yan Li a favor at the Hongqiao Bridge in Zhengmen, the imperial capital? Build a big mansion, and the emperor himself inscribed it on the outside, named 'Yan's house', so that every commoner in the imperial capital who passes by can see it, and inspire ministers and people with strange skills to serve my court."
The Zhengmen Hongqiao is a prime location, where an acre of land costs hundreds of taels of gold, and many relatives of the royal family came to Li Hai to talk about it, wanting a piece of land to build a house, but Li Hai did not agree.
Yan Li shot a cold look at Rong Changan: Didn't she make Yan Li an enemy of the common people? What the people hate the most is occupying houses by force and building large-scale projects.
"Your Majesty, I have already rewarded Wei Chen with a section of the mansion last time, and I am already satisfied. Wei Chen is alone, there is no old man above, no young man below, it is really useless to ask for such a big house."
Rong Changan didn't care about Yan Li, walked up to Li Hai, and whispered, "Your Majesty, how can you recruit talents from all over the world if you don't want to take a small place?"
Zi Yan also thought about building a foreign house for herself! Zhengmen Hongqiao is the best location. In the future, if Li Hai goes west by crane, and she has no children, she will be kicked out of the palace, and she can still live in a foreign house. If there is no money to spend, she can still sell the house. At that time, it will not be able to buy a hundred taels of gold!
"Your Majesty, this place is where the common people buy and sell. There are many herbal medicine shops, gold and silver shops, and restaurants. If it is given to the prime minister, the common people will definitely scold the emperor! The empress is..." Zi Yan was a little scared Sneaking a glance at Rong Changan, "The empress is trying to frame the emperor for injustice!"
Rong Chang'an said: "The rewards and punishments are unknown, it's the imperial concubine Ziyan who wants to frame the emperor!"
Li Hai thought about it, why not reward Yan Li with a house in a district, and if he wants to build a large building in the future, Yan Li won't be able to make irresponsible remarks to him.
"Prime Minister Yan is the pillar of the country, who dares to say no to rewarding him with a mansion in the first district!" Li Hai was elated, "Tomorrow, I will send the people from the Ministry of Industry to work on construction."
Yan Li prostrated himself on the ground, with a sincere tone: "I beg the emperor to return and accept the order, Yan Li's merits really cannot enjoy such a reward!"
Rong Changan smiled proudly at Yan Li: "Prime Minister, since the emperor has already agreed, you don't have to shirk it, otherwise, if the emperor gets angry, it will be bad! The emperor and I rewarded your house, not just for you, But for the sake of the entire Dajing Kingdom, the prime minister's heart must be enlarged."
On the surface, Yan Li looked respectful to Rong Changan, but there was resentment in his eyes.
"Prime Minister Yan, you don't need to say any more, it's just decided!" Li Hai laughed, "My favorite thing to watch is "Green Waist", Eunuch Liu, hurry up and let those little fairy daughters come up, I want to take advantage of it." It’s a beautiful day, and it’s a pleasure to watch!”
Yan Li's pleading voice was drowned in the soft dance "Green Waist". The dancing sleeves are like a tent, and the legs are like a forest. Li Hai looked at it, and even forgot that Yan Li was still on the boat, and the corners of his mouth almost leaked.
"Rong Chang'an, you are really kind to Yan Li!" Zi Yan's eyes lit up, like a wolf that saw its prey, "You actually gave him such a piece of fertile land! There will be no ambiguity between you two." thing?"
Rong Chang'an didn't look at Ziyan at all: "Sister Ziyan, are you drinking too much? The emperor knows best whether I have an affair with the prime minister! You have said it many times in front of the emperor, does the emperor believe you? Hmph , you should stop talking about those groundless things, otherwise, your cheek will be cut again. At that time, it will not be called plum blossom makeup, but fallen horse makeup!"
In ancient times, only heard of "falling horse bun", never heard of "falling horse makeup", Rong Chang'an's words are extremely ironic.
"One day, I will find evidence of your ambiguity! At that time, don't blame me for knowing everything in front of the emperor!"
Zi Yan picked a grape, spotted Rong Changan's glass, and threw it in. The wine splashed by the grape fell on Rong Changan's clothes, leaving a large circle of stains.
Zi Yan snorted coldly: "Next time it won't be wine that pollutes your clothes..." She leaned closer to Rong Chang'an's ear, "It's blood, bright red blood!"
Zi Yan gritted her teeth, and regardless of whether Li Hai would let her go, she got off the boat, made a small boat, landed on the shore, and went back to her palace.
In the evening, Li Hai invited all the officials to drink wine and enjoy the moon in Huae upstairs of the palace. It's just that both Rong Chang'an and Zi Yan refused to attend the banquet because they drank too much wine on the boat during the day. Yan Li didn't want to see Rong Changan, so he also asked Li Hai for leave, and didn't go to Huaelou.
Rong Chang'an has been in the palace for a long time, and he hasn't gone to see the lanterns and the moon among the people for a long time.
"Chuntao, do you want to take a walk outside the palace and see how the common people spend the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month?"
Chuntao immediately beamed when she heard that, and clapped her hands while cheering: "Okay! Okay! I'm bored in the palace, and I want to go out for a walk too!"
Rong Changan smiled, and pointed at Chuntao's forehead: "You are also a clever ghost! Go and prepare your clothes, we will go out in ordinary people's clothes."
Rong Changan wore a water green Xiangjun skirt, and only a hairpin was inserted in his hair bun. It was elegant and beautiful, just like Xiaojiabiyu living by the water.
"Queen, you look good in anything you wear!" Chuntao herself was dumbfounded.
Rong Changan said disapprovingly: "You can praise Ziyan with such a small mouth, but praise me, I won't reward you."
Chuntao said: "This servant speaks from the heart and does not ask for rewards."
Chuntao carried a willow basket, and the two of them walked out of the palace through the back door, neither in a sedan chair nor on a horse.
At this time, the moon has climbed to the top of the west mountain, shining brightly on the capital of Dajing Kingdom. There are firecrackers and music floating everywhere. Along the way, there are star goods shops with carts, some selling clay figurines, some buying melons, and some selling shrimp and crabs.
The streets were crowded with each other, and too many ladies came out to play. Even the concubines in the Sixth Palace secretly ran out to play.
The ladies and gentlemen put the flower melons they bought into the river flowing through the imperial capital, and drifted away; the flower melons were lit with candles, and there were many, many, dotted stars, floating on the river, really like a galaxy in the sky. It's like being in a fairyland.
"It's so beautiful!" Chuntao applauded and cheered, "I've lived August 15th for so many years, and this year is the happiest one!"
The so-called "Once you enter the Hou's family, it's as deep as the sea"? Not to mention entering the inner courtyard of the palace. Some court ladies have never come out in their lives, and can only look up at the sky above the palace.
