Chapter 709

Happy New Year!

After all officials paid homage three times, they left one after another.

"Go back to the political hall!"

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled knowingly. The Grand Court meeting on the first day is the etiquette of the imperial court. Now it is the time for the royal family to reunite.

When Li Shimin arrived at the Lizheng palace in a four wheeled carriage, a group of concubines and children of the harem had already been waiting here, and they were clearly divided into three teams, one was the harem concubines led by Empress changsun, one was the princes led by Li Chengqian, and the other was the princesses LED by Princess Changle.

When they saw Li Shimin's carriage, their eyes lit up and they stepped forward one after another.

In the past, the most common tool in the Imperial Palace was the sedan chair. However, with the popularity of four-wheel carriage, the convenient, comfortable and stable four-wheel carriage soon replaced the sedan chair.

Even in the whole Tang Dynasty, where brick roads were built, four-wheel carriages have gradually replaced sedan chairs. After all, people who can take sedan chairs can't afford a four-wheel carriage.

Especially in the cold winter, the sealed and warm four-wheel carriage naturally beats the sedan chair. Not to mention the Mojia village, the four-wheel carriage is equipped with clear glass, which is much better than the sedan chair.

"See your majesty!"

"See father!"

Empress changsun, Li Chengqian and Princess Changle came forward and saluted one after another.

Li Shimin stepped out of the carriage and said with a smile: "get up! Today is a family banquet. There are not so many rites."

The people got up and immediately talked and laughed. The tall Princess Wei looked at Li Shimin's four-wheel carriage and said with envy: "Your Majesty, is this carriage new and inlaid with such large glass?"

In later generations, a man's capital to show off is nothing more than a luxury car. However, a thousand years in advance, this principle is equally effective, but it is replaced by a horse. However, after Merton made a four-wheel carriage, the status of the horse and carriage has gradually become equal. Owning a carriage in Mojia village is also a matter of face.

When Li Shimin heard the speech, he said proudly: "this is the tribute offered by the Mohist village. It is the second generation carriage of the Mohist village. It is much more convenient than taking a sedan chair. If you like it, I will let the Mohist village pay another batch of tribute."

Princess Wei was tall and liked riding and hunting, and of course she also liked carriages. When she heard the speech, she smiled and said, "I heard that Mojia village had just passed the crisis and was short of money. How can I ask for a carriage in Mojia village for nothing? Your majesty has given me a lot of money these years. I can afford a four-wheel carriage?"

While Princess Wei spoke, her eyes involuntarily floated to the end of the concubine team. A young and gorgeous face was impressively Zheng Chonghua.

Zheng Chonghua was shocked when she heard the speech. The biggest culprit of the crisis in Mojia village was her mother's Zheng family. Princess Wei deliberately mentioned the crisis in Mojia village. This is to give her another eyedrop!

She originally thought that she could quickly get the favor of Li Shimin by virtue of her appearance. However, as soon as she entered the harem, she found that she was wrong, not to mention that there was an unshakable eldest grandson queen at the top, that is, other harem concubines were not fuel-efficient lamps. Although Zheng Chonghua was suddenly declared high, she was actually very unpopular and excluded.

"Before my concubine entered the palace, the tool I used to travel on weekdays was a four-wheel carriage produced by Mojia village. How can I miss the second-generation carriage of Mojia village? My concubine also had a lot of money and bought such a four-wheel carriage." Zheng Chonghua said proudly.

Many concubines were stunned. Zheng Chonghua was very clever. Even when he was angry, he would bow his head and endure. I didn't expect that she was so abnormal today. Even Princess Wei was stunned.

Li Shimin took an unexpected look at them. How could he know about the struggle in the back palace? As long as there was no violent conflict, he would not intervene. In general, empress Chang sun would handle this kind of thing well.

Empress Chang sun waved her hand and said, "the royal family can afford a little money for the carriage. Every concubine with more than second grade in the palace has a new carriage as a substitute, which is funded by the internal Treasury."

"Thank you, Queen!" the concubines thanked one after another.

Seeing this, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said, "it's rare that the queen has a heart!"

The eldest grandson empress Zhan Yan smiled and said, "today is the first day. Should everyone be happy when they get together?"

Wei Guifei felt a chill in her heart. Empress changsun's words were soft and hard. If she didn't know the phase again, I'm afraid she would be unhappy with empress changsun.

"What the queen said is very!" Princess Wei smiled awkwardly.

In the harem, no one dared to offend the majesty of empress Chang sun, and all the concubines agreed. When Zheng Chonghua bowed his head at the end of the row, her eyes couldn't help showing a trace of envy. If she had the majesty of empress Chang sun, who would dare to disrespect her in the harem.

"Let's have a banquet!" Li Shimin naturally didn't care about these little things and waved his hand.

"Yes!" said pound immediately.

Soon, everyone took their seats, and tables of delicacies and delicacies were brought up, including plates of green vegetables.

"This was originally a summer thing. How could it appear again!" Wei Fei exclaimed, pointing to cucumbers and beans.

"Ha ha!" Li Shimin laughed loudly and explained the glass greenhouse and out of season vegetables again.

The women who have been in the harem for a long time have never seen such magical things. They can't help but be amazed. Zheng Chonghua's low head can't help showing a trace of longing and regret.

Yang Fei smiled and said, "my concubine was worried about suffering after Changle married. Now it seems that my concubine is worried. Therefore, in the glass greenhouse, I'm afraid Changle can't pour anything she wants."

On one side of the table were all princesses. Naturally, the first one was the legitimate Princess Changle. When she heard the speech, her face turned red with shame. Although she and Merton had been engaged, how could they not be shy when they were mentioned in public.

Empress Chang sun could not help sighing: "in the twinkling of an eye, Changle has been sixteen."

"Empress mother!" Princess Changle blushed and said coquettishly.

"What's the matter with men getting married and women getting married?" the eldest grandson queen said kindly on her face.

"My concubine was worried about the crisis in Mojia village. Marquis Mojia couldn't get the promised bride price. With this greenhouse secret skill, my concubine was worried for nothing." Wei Guifei covered her mouth and smiled.

Other imperial concubines also nodded. Although they didn't value money, they also knew that the value of this greenhouse secret skill was immeasurable, which was much more valuable than the bride price promised by Merton.

Zheng Chonghua said in his heart, "my concubine thinks that Qiancheng is the medium and Wanjin is the employment. This represents the sincerity of mohou, not really taking out these money. After all, the love between mohou and the long princess is pure, and mohou firmly opposes using money to measure marriage."

"Oh!" they were stunned and looked at Zheng Chonghua. They also heard this view for the first time. After all, how glorious it is for them to take Qiancheng as the medium and Wanjin as the employment.

Only Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully. If Merton wants to marry Changle with money, he can directly use the money of Mojia village, rather than earning it with his own ability.

Of course, Merton's contribution to the Tang Dynasty this year was far greater than the number he had promised, and he also refused the temptation from Tubo. However, Li Shimin still resents Merton's flirting with Changle under his eyes. Naturally, he will not let Merton go easily.

Wei Guifei was embarrassed. She just ran on Zheng Chonghua. She didn't expect the other party to fight back so soon. Her eyes turned and said, "look at your sister, how will mohou fulfill her original promise."

Zheng Chonghua said proudly, "if I were the Marquis of Mo, I would not prove my love with yellow and white things. Maybe I would use an ink technique that benefits all people, or a rare treasure in the western regions, or another love poem that has been handed down for thousands of years,......."

As Zheng Chonghua said, he couldn't help falling into longing, as if the person to be married was like her.

Princess Changle couldn't help looking at Zheng Chonghua. What Zheng Chonghua imagined was just what she thought in her heart. Other concubines couldn't help nodding. This is indeed Merton's style.

"I didn't expect my sister to know mohou so well!" Wei Guifei said unintentionally.

Zheng Chong huazhan said with a smile, "which woman in the world doesn't envy mohou and Princess Chang. My little sister heard it for a long time when she was in Xingyang. When she first saw mohou and Princess Chang Le in Furong garden, she knew that they must be a natural match."

Zheng Chonghua admitted that she had met Merton in Furong garden and was still with Princess Changle, but no one thought much.

Only imperial concubine Wei was dissatisfied, but on such a festive occasion, she naturally wouldn't say anything more. She immediately talked and laughed and got on well with the people.

The whole harem was restored to harmony immediately. It was the happiest picture in the world.
