"Why does this bamboo garden still have this regulation now? It didn't exist before."
"It's not that you are annoying the lady these days. Some people come in and out more than a dozen times a day for the lady to check the pulse. If it is you, don't you bother?"
The girl who was guarding the door was not polite, and she was indeed annoyed by these noble ladies in Chang'an these days.
Moreover, she is the girl next to Lin Shixuan, so there is no need to be too polite to these noble ladies. These people are begging Linqing'an Pavilion for medical treatment, not Linqing'an Pavilion begging them to come here for medical treatment.
Besides, I have been with the young lady for a long time, which maid here does not know who is behind the young lady. It used to be King Jin, the crown prince, but now it is Your Majesty.
"Okay, anyway, if you want to enter the bamboo garden, you have to pay a hundred taels of silver first. If you make trouble, the silver will not be refunded."
Those noble ladies were also helpless, the backing of Linqing'an Pavilion was too great, no one in Chang'an could afford it.
At this time, the one who really came to see the doctor naturally asked the maid to give the money, and then walked in, but the maid was stopped.On weekdays, you can still bring the maid into the bamboo garden, but today you can't bring the maid with you, so you can only enter the bamboo garden alone.
100 taels of silver is not too much, and it is definitely not too much.In fact, the currency used in the Tang Dynasty at this time was still money, copper coins, and very little silver was used, and it was not very circulated, but it could be used.
100 taels, even for a wealthy family, is not a dispensable amount. Naturally, those who come to the bamboo garden to make trouble will naturally not throw 100 taels of silver just to enter the bamboo garden once. It is not worthwhile. The key is that your majesty is not in the garden. What do they spend their money in.
In today's bamboo garden, there are a few more idlers outside, who are watching the entrance of the bamboo garden.
The maid at the bamboo garden found out, so she naturally went to tell Lin Shixuan, Lin Shixuan naturally understood why these people were staring at this place, it was staring, to see when His Majesty would come here.
When the time comes, as long as your majesty comes down, let alone 100 taels, 1000 taels, these noble ladies are probably willing to pay, just to enter the bamboo garden.
Chapter 579
"Miss, there are always outsiders staring at the door, what should I do?"
"If they want to stare, let them stare."
What else can Lin Shixuan do, he is outside, so he won't let people out of the bamboo garden to drive them away, that's overbearing.
Moreover, even if you drive people out domineeringly, how can you tell which ones are being followed and which ones are not?If you drive away, others will still come back, you just need to change the method.
Stare at it if you want!
Lin Shixuan was thinking, and suddenly he was thinking, what would it be like if His Majesty came down? Will there be a long queue at the gate of the bamboo garden to spend money to enter the garden?
Lin Shixuan couldn't help laughing as she thought about it, because she suddenly thought that letting His Majesty come to the bamboo garden would be a good way to earn money.
Tai Chi Palace, today Li Zhi rushed to Princess Chao after noon today, Li Ming ran over after seeing his ninth brother early.
"Ninth brother, you're here!"
"Well, is your concubine there?"
"It's here, it's inside!"
Li Zhi pulled Li Ming and went in, Princess Chao was sitting there with a wine glass in her hand, Li Zhi didn't know what was in the glass.
"Your Majesty is here, and your concubines are polite."
"Okay, Princess Chao doesn't need to be too polite, get up."
"Why is Your Majesty here today?"
"During dinner, Queen Mother invites Princess Chao to sit in the Lizheng Hall."
"Then I will definitely go!"
Li Zhi nodded, looking at the wine glass that Princess Chao put on the table, Li Zhi leaned over and smelled a very strong smell of wine.
"Why is Princess Chao drinking alone here? Is there something on her mind, or she is not in a good mood."
"When I woke up this morning, I saw flowers blooming in the courtyard, most of them blooming together. I couldn't help but think of Wu Mei."
As Princess Chao said, she smiled wryly and shook her head unconsciously. She was in the harem, and because of her status, there were not many people who knew her well. Wu Mei was acquainted with Princess Chao because of her mother.
When His Majesty was the King of Jin before, he often walked around here, and when Princess Chao was here, Wu Mei often brought her maids.
The more times I came here, the closer I became to Princess Chao. Once the former emperor passed away and Wu Mei became a monk at Ganye Temple, Princess Chao couldn't get used to it.
"I also miss her. If it weren't for the ancestral system, I would definitely keep her here in the harem."
"Your Majesty, she has already gone to Ganye Temple. I have a few words to say to Your Majesty."
"Minger, you go outside to play first!"
"By the way, fourteenth brother, you go to the Lizheng Hall. When I came over, Chengyang and the others were tied up on the swing."
"Mother Concubine, Ninth Brother, I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Minger, don't leave yet, what did you call Your Majesty just now?"
"Ninth Brother!"
"Call me Your Majesty from now on!"
"Okay, my concubine, this is what I called them when I let them have no outsiders."
"Your Majesty, you are now the emperor. After all, it is different from before. It is not appropriate to call you Ninth Brother tomorrow."
"My lord, don't let your status affect your brotherhood."
"Your Majesty still puts so much emphasis on brotherhood, that's fine, but you have to remember tomorrow, you can't bark outside."
"Mother and concubine, I know tomorrow. Tomorrow, I went to the Lizheng Hall to find the imperial sister."
Princess Chao waved her hand, and Li Ming hurried away like a puff of smoke.
"Princess Chao, what were you going to say to me just now?"
"I want to say that Wu Mei is infatuated with Your Majesty. Your Majesty came to my place before. After Wu Mei knew about it, she ran to my place every day. She is a talented person from the former emperor. She knows that it is not suitable for Your Majesty to go to her place. There is always someone who knows me here." She's just pretending, she doesn't have anything there. She can't find His Majesty openly, so she comes here every day and waits for the rabbit."
"Every time your majesty comes down, I see that Wu Mei's expression is not right. Looking at your majesty, her eyes are full of affection."
Listening to Princess Chao's words, Li Zhi unconsciously held the wine glass that Princess Chao had just put on the table, picked it up, and drank it down in one gulp.
"Your Majesty, this is the wine I drank half."
"Princess Chao, I also understand Sister Wu's affection for me, and I will find a way to bring her back to the palace."
"It's good that His Majesty has the heart, don't let her be fooled."
Li Zhi put down his wine glass and looked at Princess Chao, who had already got up.
I don't know if there is something on his mind, Li Zhi didn't say anything to Princess Chao at this time, and walked outside.
Concubine Chao wanted to get up to see Li Zhi off, but Li Zhi stopped her, and only said that she must go to the Lizheng Hall for dinner.
Just as Li Zhi walked out, he bumped into an acquaintance, Shang Yi Yunxi.
"Ah, Your Majesty, Yun Xi has met His Majesty."
"You came to look for Princess Chao. It just so happens that she is inside. In the future, when there is not much business at the Shangyi Bureau, come here more often and accompany her. She doesn't have many acquaintances in the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Yun Xi must remember His Majesty's words."
Li Zhi raised his hand, squeezed Yun Xi's shoulder, and then patted him twice.
"Go, if she wants to drink, you can have two drinks with her, but don't be too greedy."
"Yun Xi wrote it down!"
Li Zhi returned to the Wanchun Palace, and heard laughter from the Lizheng Palace next to him.
Li Zhi held Zhong'er in his arms, and Xia He supported Li Zhi's arm with his hand, and walked to the Lizheng Hall.
The little baby in Li Zhi's arms was held by Li Zhi, and he looked disgusted.He was carried into the Lizheng Palace by his father just now, and seeing a few aunts, the little guy's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
Li Zhi looked at his son, a little dumbfounded.
At this moment, Cheng Yang and the others were playing on the swing with Li Ming and Li Fu. Ever since King Ji Li Shen moved to live in the original Prince Jin Mansion, there are only two princes left in this palace.
Several people were taking turns swinging on the swing, which was tied under the tall cherry tree in the courtyard of the Lizheng Palace.
The sakura trees were in full bloom, and they were just shading the sun. There were laughter and laughter there. The Empress Dowager Changsun also asked someone to bring up a chair, and sat in the yard, watching her daughters playing around.
Li Zhi went to the mother's queen, and the eldest grandson queen mother saw her son and the grandson in his arms, touched Zhong'er's tender cheeks, and took Zhong'er from Li Zhi's hand.
"Zhong'er looks better the longer he grows. Look, this big fat boy."
Zhong'er was so happy being hugged by the Empress Dowager, only his arms and legs stiffened a little, and he could really dance with his arms and legs.
Li Zhi could tell that this little guy didn't like being hugged by men, even his own father was no exception.I just like to be hugged by women. The more beautiful the woman is, the more this little guy likes it.
Seeing my aunt was closer than meeting my own mother, and seeing the queen mother, my little eyes almost narrowed with excitement.
"Queen, I invited my aunt and aunt to the Lizheng Hall tonight."
There, the maid had already brought a chair and placed it beside the Queen Mother, Li Zhi naturally sat down, while the maid retreated there, Xia He stood beside Li Zhi, rubbing Li Zhi's shoulders.
"Oh, she's coming, it's just right, let her try Shangshi Dingyu's skills, this Dingyu's meal preparation skills are getting better and better."
Chapter 580 Zhonger
"Oh, I almost forgot, Zhi'er, where did you send people to pick strawberries last night?"
"Over there in the Forbidden Garden!"
"Qiu Ju, take some people to the Forbidden Garden, pick more and bring back some, and give some to the concubines, and the Princess Court."
"Yes, the Empress Dowager."
Qiu Ju responded, and went to find someone. The Empress Dowager pinched Zhong'er's little hand with her fingers, and the little guy's excited little body trembled. The pink hand wanted to touch the Empress Dowager's face, but he didn't. As he spoke, his small hands were propped on a soft place, and Li Zhi couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it.
This kid, it's okay to grow up a little bit.But at this time Li Zhi's mind is not here, but on what the queen mother said just now, that is, to send strawberries to the Princess Courtyard.
Did the queen mother say these words specifically for herself? Last night, I only asked Yue'er to send it to Concubine Wei Yang and the queen mother. At that time, I only thought of sending it to the elders, but I didn't send it to the imperial sister.
The queen mother brought it up specifically, and it must be for herself.
The Empress Dowager Changsun had already handed Zhonger to his mother, and looking at Li Zhi, Li Zhi felt that the Empress Dowager's eyes were somewhat meaningful.
"Xia He, you carry Zhong'er to Chengyang and the others, I see Zhong'er twisting his head and looking there."
Xia He naturally understood Li Zhi's implication, and walked over with Zhong'er in his arms, where the laughter and laughter drowned out all other sounds in the courtyard.
"Mother, did Zhi'er do something wrong last night?"
"Remember in the future, when giving things to others, don't forget about your imperial sister. You can't tell her temper, but she is actually a little narrow-minded."
This is what the queen mother can say, but others dare not say it.Li Zhi nodded naturally after hearing this, and only said that he must pay attention in the future.
After Li Zhi and the Empress Dowager Changsun said a few words, they looked at the royal girls.
Heng Shan was actually holding Zhong'er on the swing, and the Empress Dowager Changsun also saw it at this time, both of them were frightened by Heng Shan, Zhong'er was only a little over a month old, so it would be dangerous.
It was obvious that Hengshan suddenly hugged Zhong'er on the swing, the princesses and princes and Xia He hurriedly stopped the swing, Li Zhi just touched his forehead at this moment, already covered in cold sweat.
"It seems that as long as Hengshan is here in the future, we must keep an eye on it. Who knows what will happen."
Li Zhi thought to himself, Xia He had already hugged Zhong'er there, so he didn't dare to let his little aunt hug him at this time.
"Hengshan, come here!"
Heng Shan had already walked over there feeling aggrieved, the Empress Dowager Changsun looked at her, originally wanted to say a few words to her, but she couldn't bear to look at this girl's pitiful appearance.
After all, she grew up watching her, and she is no different from her own daughter.
"Hengshan, remember, you can't do these dangerous things with Zhong'er in your arms in the future."
"Heng Shan knows, even if Heng Shan wants Zhong'er to play on the swing."
"He's still young, wait until he's older, and then he will play on the swing with you."
Li Zhi looked at the huge cherry tree and the colorful rope, then got up and walked over.
"Empress Mother, Brother Huang also went to play on the swing."
"You go too!"
The Empress Dowager Changsun leaned comfortably on the seat, looked at the group of children, and waved to Dongmei.
"Dongmei, ask someone to bring some deck chairs here."
It's approaching early summer, and the sun is shining day by day. At noon, the temperature outside has made it impossible to take a slow walk against the blue sky and white sun.
At this time, the reclining chairs were placed under another cherry tree, and there were a total of five chairs, all made of Fujiki.
The shade of the cherry trees blurred on the ground, and the occasional spot of light hit Lin Wanyue's face, and she raised her hand to cover it slightly.
At a certain moment, looking at the laughing children in the distance, she seemed to have returned to that distant world.
