At the Cheng Estate.
Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Qiong, Li Jing, and Niu Jinda were all gathered around a stove to eat hotpot.
Unlike Li Zexuan's home, where the stove was stuffed under a perforated table to cook hotpot, Cheng Yaojin felt that this seemed stingy, so he had someone place a large iron pot on the stove. The group of people gathered around the iron pot to eat, each person having a small table with cut vegetables and sauces on it. It could be said that it was both lively and warm to eat!
"Haha! I told you that this kid would be fine! Once His Majesty's anger subsides, he'll naturally be released! "
Halfway through the meal, Cheng Yaojin laughed heartily as they talked about Li Zexuan.
"Pfft! I wonder who was it a few days ago who was like an ant that had stirred up trouble, rushing to find His Majesty to reason with him. If Second Brother Qin hadn't held him back, who knows how many times His Majesty would have quarreled with him these past few days? "
Yuchi Jingde dipped his chopsticks into a large mouthful of mutton, dipped it in sauce, and happily ate a mouthful. He then took a sip of wine as he mocked.
Speaking of which, right now, he was already infatuated with the way mutton was eaten. Recently, the servants in Yuchi fu would often see their laoye enter the kitchen, 'peng, peng, peng.' Immediately after, they would see Yuchi Jingde carry out a plate of bright red mutton rolls. Only the heavens knew that the mighty Duke of E, the Right Martial Marquis Great General, and a martial arts grandmaster expert would actually do the business of cutting vegetables. If people from other countries heard this, they would mistakenly think that the Great Tang lacked chefs!
The Great Tang truly did lack chefs, martial arts grandmaster chefs, chefs with superb knife techniques!
"Hmph! Old Black, shut up! We still haven't settled accounts with you for this matter! Since you knew in advance that Little Xuan was going to make a move on the Cui Clan, why didn't you tell us old fellows? Do you think that our ranks aren't as high as yours and that we can't help you? Or do you think that our old arms and legs aren't as good as your martial arts? "
When Cheng Yaojin heard that, he slammed the table and exploded.
They only realized after the fact that Yuchi Jingde had long predicted that Li Zexuan would move against the Cui Family, and even helped Li Zexuan secretly add fuel to the fire. Otherwise, how could they explain the three hundred crossbowmen and a large number of Martial Marquises lying in ambush at the Right Marquis Mansion that night?
Cheng Yaojin's words couldn't be said to not be poisonous. Yuchi Jing De's old face darkened even more. If he said something wrong, he would offend everyone in this room.
"Pa!"
Yuchi Jingde slapped the table and said angrily, "Madman Cheng, don't you dare slander this old man! Even if you knew in advance, what can you do to help Little Xuan? The Cui Family has a deep foundation, and it's impossible to defeat them with ordinary methods. Madman Cheng, if you knew about this in advance, it would only spoil the situation!
Besides, this old man didn't expect Xiao Xuan to take action so quickly. However, the reason why Xiao Xuan was able to succeed this time was because he launched an attack on the Cui family at lightning speed. Otherwise, when His Majesty or the Cui family reacted, he wouldn't have another chance! "
"Hmph! Twisting words and forcing logic … "
Cheng Yaojin refused to accept this and wanted to continue arguing, but he was interrupted by Qin Qiong.
"Hehe! Jingde's words are reasonable. Since the Cui Family has been destroyed and Xiao Xuan has been released from prison, there's no point in talking about these things. Eat hotpot! Eat hotpot! "
"Haha! Second Brother Qin is right! Eat hotpot! Haha! This thing tastes really good! "
Niu Jinda laughed loudly.
… … …
Afternoon.
Li Zexuan, who was "reflecting on his mistakes behind closed doors" at home, was waiting for Li Chengqian and Changle to arrive. The brother and sister pair came in a carriage, specially coming to visit Li Zexuan.
"Eh? Xiao Xuan, why do I feel that the heating in your house is warmer than in the Eastern Palace? "
Li Chengqian asked in surprise as soon as he entered the house.
The recent changes in Chang 'an City did not affect the progress of the heating in the palace at all. Now, the Eastern Palace, Li Zheng Palace, Ganlu Palace, Changle Palace, and other places were all installed with heating. This thing could not be removed if one was used to it. Therefore, Li Chengqian had people install heating in Taiji Palace, which was the place where all the officials held morning court every day. This way, all the civil and military officials in the imperial court could enjoy the treatment of heating in their spare time.
Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said, "Hehe! How can the size of this house compare to your Eastern Palace? Chengqian, if you want to be warm, you have to install at least three times the amount of heating in the Eastern Palace, right? "
The imperial palace buildings were much larger than ordinary houses in terms of length, width, and height. Under the same environment, if the palace wanted to be warm, it naturally had to install more heating!
Li Chengqian patted his head and said in realization, "Yes! That's true! When I go back today, I'll have the craftsmen quickly modify it! "
Li Zexuan smiled and looked at Changle. He asked, "Changle, when it's winter, the air outside is cold. You have Qi disease, so it's best if you don't go out as much as possible! Also, you have to install more heating in your bedroom as much as possible. This can reduce the chances of you getting sick! "
Ever since Changle entered the house, her eyes could not move away from Li Zexuan. However, she was also afraid that Li Zexuan and Li Zexuan would notice her abnormal state. Therefore, she only occasionally looked at Li Zexuan so that no one could sense her thoughts. At this moment, when she heard Li Zexuan suddenly call her name, she was first shocked and then said,
"Thank you, Brother Xiaoxuan, for your concern! However, Changle's palace has always been warm! "
Li Zexuan nodded. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Changle, have you been practicing the Taiji Fist that Yuxi taught you?"
Changle nodded crisply and said, "Yes, yes! Changle has been practicing, and I feel much better than last year! Brother Xiaoxuan, do you want to see? "
Li Zexuan's forehead was full of black lines. Li Zexuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no! Changle, you've been practicing! Although this boxing technique may not be useful for your Qi disease, it's still very beneficial for strengthening your body! "
What a joke. How many people could bear to see the Princess of the Tang Empire practicing Taiji Fist for you? Moreover, Li Chengqian was sitting next to her!
"Oh!"
Changle was slightly disappointed. She really felt that her Taiji Fist was good and wanted to show it. However, with her special status, it was indeed inappropriate to show it in this kind of situation. Glancing at Li Zexuan's handsome face, Changle suddenly said,
"Brother Xiaoxuan, next time don't quarrel with my father, okay? When you quarrel, Changle doesn't know who to help … "
"Changle, don't talk nonsense!"
Li Chengqian hurriedly patted his sister's arm and said.
Li Zexuan was startled and then said with a wry smile, "Changle, people are born in this world. Sometimes, they can't help themselves, and sometimes, they can't help themselves! However, I'm still very grateful that you and Chengqian spoke up for me in front of His Majesty two days ago. Otherwise, how could I have gotten out of prison so quickly? "
