My harem can't be this messy

Page 163

Yun Xi took the order, so he and the embroiderers rushed to prepare. When they came, these embroiderers had already prepared a lot of things.

There is a single large house with plenty of light, and several large cases are placed inside.

Xiuniang was already working, and Li Zhi was afraid that Yunxi would feel uncomfortable sitting, so he specially took a cushion and spread it on the bench made by Yunxi. Seeing Yunxi, the delicate color naturally added some pink peach blossoms.

"Yun Xi, you, my father and queen mother, make it yourself, and you must do it meticulously."

"What pattern does Your Highness want to use?"

Li Zhi originally wanted to talk about being a pair of dragon and phoenix, after all, this is the symbol of the emperor and the empress, the empress of the emperor, dragon and phoenix.

But in the end Li Zhi didn't say anything, he always felt that the small sachet was made like this, and it was ugly to wear on his body.

"Make it into a small lantern, and embroider dragons and phoenixes on it."

"It's quite simple, and I can hand it over to His Highness today."

Yun Xi is already busy, and Li Zhi is also free at this time, sitting not far away watching some embroiderers threading needles and making small sachets.

Watch them make things, especially Shang Yi Yunxi.Li Zhi always felt that Xiu Niang was so good-looking in her work.

In the end, King Jin sat on the bench, half leaning against the table behind his back, his eyes quietly fell on Shang Yi Yunxi.

There will be more troubles for Yunxi in the future. Although she is only a dressmaker, she is not considered an important position in the palace.In layman's terms, that is, a royal tailor.

However, in Li Zhi's heart, Yun Xi was a treasure. Yun Xi helped him make the little clothes before, and he used this to please his mother. Li Zhi still remembered the happy appearance of her mother's dress.

Afterwards, the cooperation with the Sixth Brother also started with Xiaoyi.

And now, Li Zhi wants Yunxi's help again. In the future, there will only be more and more things to ask her to help.

For example, I asked the people from Honglu Temple to bring the cotton seeds back to Chang'an, and in the future I would really weave cloth and make clothes. The best choice is to invite Yunxi.

This is a long story, but nearby, Li Zhi still remembered to promise a few maids that he would make some tight clothes for them when he came back.

In terms of clothing embroidery work, among the people Li Zhi met at this time, Yun Xi naturally dared to be the second, and no one dared to be the first.

Li Zhi looked at Yun Xi unconsciously for a long time, when the sound of footsteps came from there, Lin Shixuan had already run into the house.

"I have prepared the spices His Highness wants."

Li Zhi saw that Lin Shixuan was carrying a big bag. Now that the bag was far away, he could clearly smell the smell wafting from it.

It's mind-blowing.

"Please trouble Miss Shixuan!"

"Your Highness and Shixuan are also polite."

Li Zhi just smiled, the bed is the bed, and he still treats each other as a guest when he gets off the bed.Li Zhi would not say this, he would only do it.Putting the spice bag on the table behind him, saying something to Yun Xi, Li Zhi walked out of the room.

Outside, just as Li Zhi took a breath of the outside air, he heard someone calling His Highness.

Hearing the voice, Li Zhi raised his head suddenly, and trotted to the person who came.

"Little aunt finished her work?"

"Well, I'm done with my work, the main thing is to go home."

"Little aunt will always be by my side in the future. I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss my little aunt."

"You will coax me, I don't believe it, His Highness must be in the arms of some warm woman again. I don't even remember me."

"How is it possible? I'll just let my aunt know how much I miss my aunt."

Li Zhi bent down, and the next moment he had picked up Murong Xueying, Lin Shixuan saw him there, just smiled lightly, and followed King Jin, seeing Jin Wang carried Murong Xueying to a house, Lin Shixuan also went in, and closed the door.

When the door opened, Li Zhi just picked the jade man's white chin and pulled it in.

"Little aunt, does Xinzhi miss you now?"

"I believe it, but His Highness seems to be in a bad state today."

"The state is not good, it's not because you two keep begging for mercy."

Li Zhi laughed loudly, and walked out of the house, Yun Xi was already looking for Li Zhi outside, and at this time the small sachets made for the emperor and queen were ready.

It looks ordinary, it looks like a small lantern, but if you look closely, the embroidery is really exquisite.

"Yun Xi, you are the number one embroidery worker in Chang'an."

"Yun Xi doesn't dare to be number one, at least Yun Xi has seen embroidery workers who are better than Yun Xi."

"Oh, is there really? If you have time, take me to meet you."

Li Zhi said casually, but Yun Xi took it seriously, and his expression slowly changed, whether to take His Royal Highness with him or not, that is Princess Chao.

And Li Zhi didn't wait for Yun Xi to say anything at this time, he just patted Yun Xi's jade shoulder lightly, and had already called the maid to rush to the palace.

Li Zhi promised his mother that he would give her a small gadget today, and this small sachet was ready at this time, so King Jin would naturally send it to his mother as soon as possible.

King Jin left, but Yun Xi was still hesitant to take his Highness down or not.

This girl really took it seriously, Li Zhi just said it casually, but he didn't take Yun Xi's words seriously, he just thought Shang Yi was being modest.

In the Tang Dynasty, there might be embroidery workers better than Yunxi, but King Jin didn't think there were any in Chang'an.

After all, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast, not to mention other things, the Lu embroidery on the Shandong side, and the Shu embroidery that Li Zhi saw in Shu.There are also Jiangnan Suzhou Embroidery, which is well-known in the countries along the Silk Road, the land of China, the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and a cloud. Li Zhi does not think that no one can surpass it.

But still the same sentence, in Chang'an, Yun Xi has reached the pinnacle in Li Zhi's heart.

At this moment, Yun Xi also hesitated, and went back to continue working, after all, there are still many small sachets to be made at this time.

It is not difficult to do what His Highness ordered, but the quantity is indeed terrifying. Is this the rhythm of requiring one from the harem?

Not to mention Yun Xi, Li Zhi's carriage had already arrived at the palace at this time, and Li Zhi was a little eager to reach the Lizheng Hall. As soon as he entered the Lizheng Hall, Li Zhi walked lightly and ran into the hall.

Chapter 318 Iced Fruit

There was not only one person in the hall, Li Zhi saw that Sizi and Hengshan were both there, and the two little princesses were eating something to cool off the heat, eating chilled fruits with relish.

There is ice in the Tang Dynasty in summer, and Li Zhi didn't find it strange at all. This is the ice cubes stored in winter. Every year, a lot of ice cubes are prepared in the palace, just for the next summer. Generally, the ice cubes stored in winter can't be used up in summer. of.

It was already the end of June at this time, so it was the season to use these ice cubes, so seeing all kinds of iced soups and fruits in the Tang Palace was just a very common thing.Of course, at this time, nitrate ice has not yet appeared on a large scale, and it will not be until the Song Dynasty. Of course, there have been sporadic appearances in the Tang Dynasty, so don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

Li Zhi had seen a news before that when Lin Zexu arrived in Humen, a foreigner invited Lin Zexu to dinner, and at the end of the meal there was a dish of ice cream. The news said that Lin Zexu saw the steaming white gas, so he scooped it up and blew a few breaths, thinking that it was very delicious. hot.

This kind of rubbish news will only appear later when there are more media. The writers don't even have the most basic common sense. The history of using ice in China is probably much longer than the entire history of many European countries.

Li Zhi walked in at this moment, Empress Changsun quickly waved her hand, Li Zhi left the empress mother's place, and saw Empress Changsun pinching a purple grape with her jade fingers, and peeled off the skin, Li Zhi opened his mouth quickly when he saw the empress feeding himself.

Swallowing a grape, it feels ice-sweet, which is very satisfying.This iced fruit tastes really good when eaten in midsummer.

"Queen, are there any grapes now?"

"Well, this is the first batch of this year, sent to the palace from the Western Regions on a fast horse, what do you think of Zhi'er?"

"So sweet!"

There, Hengshan was eating melons, and Sizi was peeling grapes. Hearing that the elder brother said it was so sweet, he even gave him one in his mouth.

Or seeing Sizi to feed himself, Heng Shan also took a tooth of melon and gave it to Li Zhi.

Look, the queen mother and the imperial sister, seeing themselves, felt as if they had met a little panda.

But the iced fruit is really delicious. Enjoying it at the end of June makes people feel comfortable and just want to hum.

"Queen, this is a small item that Zhi'er wants to give to Queen!"

At this time, he used a brocade handkerchief to wipe off the sticky juice from the corners of his mouth, and Li Zhi had already taken out the two small sachets from his sleeve.

When Empress Changsun saw it, she was naturally happy to take it, not because of the small item, but because it was given by Li Zhi.

This is the heart, and what Empress Changsun values ​​is Zhier's heart.

At this moment, he leaned closer and sniffed, then nodded.

The son over there saw it, and ran over, picked one up, and smelled it.

"Hey, Brother Huang, isn't this the kind of small sachet made by Sister Shixuan? Why are these two made so well? Look at Sizi."

Sizi took off his own from the waist, and it can be vaguely seen that it is in the shape of a rabbit, but this rabbit is so abstract!

With the handiwork of Lin Shixuan, her senior sister and Xinger, doing this is the limit.

Putting the two small sachets together, you can immediately tell the good from the bad, the fragrance is pure, that's how it is, hey, it doesn't matter.

"This was made by Shangyi Yunxi of the Shangyi Bureau. Brother Tianhuang asked Xiniang to make one for you too, and replaced this one."

Sizi is really rough and needs to be replaced.

"Brother Huang, I want it too, just for Sizi, not for me!"

Heng Shan put down the melon, said something, and then felt two eyes looking at him.

Heng Shan quickly looked at the queen mother and the emperor's brother.

"It's Sister Huang, it's Sister Huang, not Sizi."

Empress Changsun and Li Zhi are also helpless, they are probably real sisters, and they are just messing around.

"Hengshan, remember from now on, don't call your Miss Huang by her nickname again."

"Oh, Hengshan has recorded it!"

At this time Li Zhi was already sitting next to the little imperial girl, rubbing the little girl's bun with his hands.

"Brother Huang will naturally not forget you. Your sister Huang wants a sachet in the shape of a rabbit. What shape do you want?"

"Brother Huang, Hengshan wants a small sachet!"

Empress Changsun and Si Zi smiled. The two little princesses really liked Xiao Tuantuan very much.

After a while, the fruit plate was removed, Li Zhi hugged Hengshan after seeing his mother, and put his arms around his son.

"You two, you want to love each other in the future, but you can't fight over a small thing, hurting the sisterhood."

"Oh, I see, queen mother, son-in-law will definitely give way to younger sister in the future."

"Empress Mother, Hengshan also knows, so I will let you in the future... Ah, sister Huang."

Li Zhi looked at Hengshan, this is the queen mother, look, she can control Hengshan easily.

There was thunder outside, and in the Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun looked at the sky outside.On a midsummer afternoon, the rain came as soon as it was said.

When Li Zhi walked outside the hall, the sky outside had completely darkened, thunder was rolling in the sky, and several bolts of lightning crossed the sky, like a roaring thunder dragon.

Lightning illuminated the sky, and there was a loud noise, as if a gap had been torn open in the sky, and large groups of wet raindrops had already splashed down on the white jade steps outside.

"A long drought brings rain!"

Li Zhi said softly, rain, in this era, is what agriculture needs most. The so-called good weather is nothing more than that.

At this time, it was a complete agricultural era.

Empress Changsun looked at Aizi beside him, and the lightning from the sky struck his face, making Li Zhi's face flickering, giving him a feeling of inseparability.

This child's heart is still at the age he should be.

Long drought meets rain, this sentence in Song Dynasty Hong Mai's "Rong Zhai Four Strokes Poems of Prosperity and Frustration", he unconsciously confided.

Empress Changsun understood that Li Zhi didn't mean to play tricks on literary talent, but in fact it was just some poems, at certain moments, people from later generations really easily uttered them casually.

The last time I saw Wang Yan and saw her dressing up, I recited the two famous lines of Su Shi. Today, watching the rain in Chang'an, I recited these two lines of Hong Mai.

Empress Changsun looked at Sizi, this girl should have memorized her brother's words, probably before today, her husband will hear it.

Zhi'er's character still needs to be tempered.Although this poem is good, it is not suitable for casual words.

However, Zhi'er has been in Datang for so long, and it is extremely rare for him to say something casually now and then.

Seeing the rain falling, Empress Changsun took Li Zhi's hand and retreated into the Lizheng Hall.

"Zhi'er, you don't need to go back to Prince Jin's mansion today. I don't know when the thunderstorm will last."

"Yes, the emperor knows."

"You stay in the palace with your mother!"

A trace of panic flashed in Li Zhi's eyes, it's better to get out of here quickly.

"Queen, Nazhi'er still lives in Wanchun Palace at night!"

Empress Changsun nodded, and Li Zhicai breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the empress mother would let him live in the Lizheng Palace, so why would his father come here at night.
