Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 705 Chapter 724: Li Zhi is a dark horse

After staying in Lantian Villa overnight, Li Hao drove back to Chang'an early the next morning. Every time his RV passed by in Chang'an City, it would attract everyone's attention. Everyone on the street looked at the RV and sighed. Some people marveled at the power of science, and some They marveled at Li Hao's noble status, while others admired the magic of the RV.

Sighing is sighing, it is obvious that the people in Chang'an are no strangers to RVs.

Today's palace is very lively, because today is September [-]th, the day when Li Hao took concubines, Li Ping led the crowd to direct the busy work in the courtyard early in the morning, and the palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons.

Li Hao's RV entered the palace through the side door, and special forces immediately went to inform Li Ping: "Mistress, the prince is back."

"Where is it?" Li Ping asked hurriedly. She was so anxious. Two days ago, Li Hao didn't say much, just said that there was something urgent, and drove away in a hurry. He never returned. It's a big day for him to take a concubine, if he doesn't come back, it will be a joke.

"The newly built garage in the east courtyard." The special forces replied.

Hearing this, Li Ping walked quickly towards the east courtyard. As soon as he reached the east courtyard, he saw Li Hao and Lu Yun coming out of the east courtyard with a group of special forces.

"Hey, ma'am!" Li Hao was in a good mood, and greeted her with a smile, wanting to give her a warm hug.

Li Ping pushed him away, rolled his eyes and reprimanded: "Where did you go? You know you're back, today is the day you marry Zhuo Ma!"

"I know." Li Hao said, "Didn't I come back early in the morning?"

"You... I'm really worrying about you for nothing." Li Ping gave him another white eye in reproach.

"Ma'am, it's my fault, my fault..." Li Hao hugged her with a smile, and started to coax his wife. Lu Yun and Feiying tactfully avoided it.

Li Ping was indeed very coaxing, and he immediately smiled and said, "Hurry up and change your clothes, there will be guests coming later, why don't you go and greet them?"

Li Hao looked at his silk shirt, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong with my clothes, it's very good, I'll wear this clothes to greet guests."

As soon as the words fell, a loud voice suddenly came from the front yard: "The British prince—here!"

"Uncle Li Ji is here!" Li Hao cried out in surprise when he heard this, and ran towards the front yard with his legs loose.

He was very fast, and in a short time he climbed over two courtyard walls and came to the front yard. As soon as he arrived at the front yard, he heard the porter shout again: "Duke Yi—here!"

Li Hao strode towards the door, only to see Li Ji and Qin Qiong meet unexpectedly at the door, chatting with each other, Li Hao stepped forward to salute, and said loudly: "Li Hao pays homage to the two uncles!"

"Hey, poet madness is here!" Qin Qiong and Li Ji said in unison, and walked into the gate of the courtyard one after another.

Li Hao welcomed them in, and said: "Uncles, your nephew's home is your home. Next time you come, just enter the door, and don't blame my nephew for not being polite, haha..."

Li Ji laughed and said: "That's not good, all the things in your house are valuable treasures. If the old man treats your house as his own, I will take it all for you."

Qin Qiong and Li Hao both burst out laughing when they heard the words, Li Ji was usually serious, but now he even made a joke.

At this moment, a broken gong suddenly sounded: "What, take it as your own home? Come here, come here!"

Li Hao's face changed when he heard the words, and he hurriedly looked at Qin Qiong and Li Ji: "Uncle Cheng is here too?"

Qin Qiong said with a smile: "Why didn't he come, it's just a few steps behind us."

Li Hao hurriedly asked: "He didn't hear what I said just now?"

Li Ji raised his eyebrows and did not speak. At this time, Cheng Yaojin had already pushed the door open and opened a big mouth, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth. He opened his teeth and clawed and said, "Wow Kaka, of course I heard it. Didn't you say Well, let us uncles treat your house as our own, tsk tsk tsk... What should we move back today, anyway, it's our own home..." Cheng Yaojin rubbed his hands, and his eyes were already looking around Li Hao's house Go, thinking about how to evacuate Li Hao's house.

Li Hao's face became extremely ugly. Sure enough, as he expected, this guy has no morals, and he really can't even have a polite word with him.

Fortunately, Li Hao was witty, rolled his eyes, and grinned, "Uncle Cheng, does the sea business make money?"

"Yeah, I made a lot of money. Last time I went to sea, I made 5 taels of gold, hahaha... Hey, that big vase seems to be a good thing..." Cheng Yaojin had already taken a fancy to Li Hao while answering. The two large vases one person tall under the porter wanted to take them away.

"Cough cough..." Li Hao coughed and said, "Uncle Cheng, if you take something from my house today, the business at sea will be gone in the future."

Cheng Yaojin was pouted and ready to hold the vase, but he froze when he heard this, and then he turned around slowly, looking at Li Hao with a smile.

"Hey hey..." Cheng Yaojin came to Li Hao with a big grin, and said, "Nephew, uncle just made a joke with you, don't take it seriously."

Li Hao also smiled, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I'm just joking with you, don't mind."

Li Ji and Qin Qiong laughed secretly, and only Li Hao could control Cheng Yaojin.

All the gifts from the three princes were brought in, counted and put into storage. Li Hao asked Lu Yun to take them to the living room for tea. The three of them had just left when the gatekeeper shouted again: "Master Ma, Zhongshu order—here!" Ma Week is here.

"General Niu Xiu—here!" Niu Jinda came.

"General Xue Li—here!" Xue Rengui came.

……

Li Hao hurried forward to greet him, the people who came this time were all on good terms with him, Li Hao really wanted to have a good chat with them, but today was too busy, it was not the time, and there were other guests here, Li Hao sent someone to take them to the living room, and stayed in the front yard to continue welcoming guests.

By the afternoon, more than 30 court officials had basically arrived. Li Hao was in full swing in the court. As long as there were no special circumstances, these people would come after receiving the invitation, otherwise they would lose face.

But there were also two unexpected guests. The first one was Prince Li Zhi. I don’t know how Li Zhi knew that Li Hao was taking a concubine today. He rushed over to congratulate him with a gift. Li Zhi was still the same as before. , as soon as he saw Li Hao, he grinned, as if Li Hao was his pistachio. There is no doubt that Li Zhi must be the highest status among all the guests today.

Another unexpected guest just came to the door to give a gift, but did not attend the banquet. This unexpected guest was Fan Lihua. When Fan Lihua appeared at the door, Li Hao was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say. It was still Fan Lihua. Lihua was more generous, and took the lead in cupping her hands and said: "King Qiongnan is happy to have a concubine, Fan Lihua came here uninvited, please forgive me."

"Where, where." Li Hao hurriedly replied mechanically, "I...I actually also..."

He really didn't know how to explain it. After all, he was the woman he liked, and now he was going to marry another woman. How could he explain it? Even if Li Hao had a hundred mouths, he couldn't explain it.

Fan Lihua walked up to him, handed him a small sandalwood box, and said coldly: "King Qiongnan is the most wealthy man in the world, so naturally he doesn't care about money, so Fan Lihua embroidered a sachet with her own hands and gave it to King Qiongnan, wishing King Qiongnan and his new wife A happy marriage for a hundred years."

Li Hao opened the box in a daze, and he saw a colorful sachet lying in the wooden box. Two birds were embroidered on the surface of the sachet. Due to the poor embroidery work, he could barely make out the two birds. Li Hao guessed , these two should be mandarin ducks.

Looking at this sachet, Li Hao felt mixed feelings. If he guessed right, it should be the embroidery that Fan Lihua specially learned. She made the sachet with her own hands and planned to give it to him. However, he made her very sad. So she took a concubine, although Fan Lihua didn't show any unhappy expression from now on, but Li Hao knew that when she put on a straight face, she was already angry and unhappy.

"Ewha, I..." Li Hao held the sachet in his hand, feeling extremely bitter in his heart. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.

Fan Lihua waited for a long time but didn't see him explaining to herself, a look of disappointment flashed across her face, and said: "I still have something to do at home, so I won't go to the banquet, and leave." The tail did not step into Li Hao's house.

Originally, he was in a good mood today, but because of Fan Lihua's visit to give gifts, Li Hao's good mood disappeared. Although he was in a bad mood, Li Hao still knew the importance. He had important things to do today, so he couldn't let negative emotions affect his mood. It's business, I'll explain it to Fan Lihua slowly when I have time later, so he calmed down and started arranging the banquet.

Li Hao set up three tables in the side hall to entertain all the court ministers, and set up two separate tables in the main hall to entertain the crown prince alone.

Li Hao's way of treating them differently seems a little inappropriate, but no one questioned it. After all, the crown prince is the son of the Tian family, and he will soon inherit the throne. With him present, I am afraid that the officials will have some scruples. Can't let go to eat and drink, so many people think Li Hao's approach is very good.

There was absolutely nothing to choose from the food and drink at Li Hao's house. All the ministers ate happily, while Li Hao and Li Zhi ate and drank in the main hall.

Li Zhi also likes to eat alone with Li Hao. He is comfortable and unrestrained. He can call Li Hao a poetic fanatic, not the official name.

"Poetry man, is there anything interesting to do in Nanzhao this time?" Every time Li Hao came back from a trip, Li Zhi would have to ask. In his opinion, Li Hao is a mysterious man, no matter where There seems to be no shortage of stories anywhere.

Li Hao put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "This trip to Nanzhao was really a narrow escape. I'll let you tell me the details."

"Okay!" Li Zhi hurriedly put down his wine glass when he heard the words, and listened carefully to Li Hao's story.

Li Hao recounted his own experience emphatically, and Li Zhi was shocked when he heard it. He regretted that he did not go to southern Xinjiang with Li Hao and missed so many wonderful things.

After the story was finished, Li Hao drank a lot of wine. Li Hao knocked on the wine glass, and suddenly said leisurely: "Your Highness, do you know why I want to invite Your Highness alone today?"

Li Zhi shook his head.

Li Hao laughed and said, "Your Highness, I want to ask you one thing."

Li Zhi hurriedly spread his hands and said, "Please tell me if you are crazy about poetry, I will definitely not refuse."

Li Haodao: "Your Highness, the emperor wanted to send troops to Tubo, but was discouraged by the officials, you should know about this?"

"Of course I know." Li Zhi nodded and frowned slightly, "Father is very annoyed by this matter, but there is nothing he can do."

Li Haodao: "You must go to the court meeting tomorrow, Your Highness, and you must support the Emperor and request to send troops to Tubo."

"Ah?" Li Zhi was stunned when he heard the words, and then he stared in surprise and asked, "Father can't do anything, even if I support sending troops, what's the use?"

Li Hao smiled secretly, and said: "Your Highness, you are a dark horse, your support will be of great use!"
