Chapter 193 The Eastern Palace does not allow such an awesome person to exist! (asking for monthly tickets)

"teacher!"

Li Xiang slipped into the Duke of Song's mansion with ease and without asking anyone to inform him, he went straight to the front of the main hall.

Old Xiao, who was squinting his eyes to look at something, was startled. He turned around and saw that it was Li Xiang, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I will scare you into something bad sooner or later!" Old Xiao stroked his chest and said with a bad look.

Li Xiang didn't say anything and asked someone to bring up two mirrors.

"Come on, bring whatever you want." Xiao Yu said politely, but actually he looked very happy.

Good disciples still remember me, Xiao, haha...

"It's for my aunt." Although Li Xiang said so, Princess Xiangcheng is now also a member of the Xiao family, so there is no difference between sending Princess Xiangcheng and sending the Xiao family.

He added, "The other side is for Madam Xiao."

Empress Xiao naturally refers to Xiao Yu's sister, Empress Xiao, the former empress of Emperor Yang of Sui.

It can be said that Old Li was really righteous. After welcoming Xiao back, he did not cancel her title, nor did he do anything out of line. He even gave her the posthumous title of Queen Min after her death.

As for the rumors about the six emperors playing... they were made up. When the old lady came back, she was almost seventy years old, and Old Li didn't have any special hobbies, so it wouldn't be that outrageous.

"What is this?" Xiao Yu asked with interest.

"Mirror." Li Xiang said concisely, "It's much clearer than a bronze mirror."

"Oh? Let me see." Xiao Yu became interested.

He asked Fubao to lift the curtain covering the mirror, and looked left and right at the mirror. He said in amazement: "This kind of colored glass is rare in the world. It is really an incredible treasure. Meng Ze is really thoughtful."

"Hey, what's the treasure?" Li Xiang waved his hands and told the truth: "It's nothing more than a pile of inconspicuous sand and soda ash. It's nothing special. If the teacher wants it, there are plenty."

"You can't say that." Xiao Yu turned around with a serious face: "You can sort out a method to turn sand into colored glass, which is a kind of value in itself. When sand loses its original attribute of 'sand' and becomes 'colored glass', it is no longer sand, but colored glass."

Oh, Lao Xiao is really amazing...

"Teacher is right." Li Xiang gave Xiao Yu a thumbs up and praised him.

Xiao Yu stroked his beard and smiled, looking at Li Xiang with obviously strange eyes.

"Besides, this mirror was given by you. Even if it was just a pile of sand, its value is obvious."

"Then I'll give the teacher a pile of sand next time." Li Xiang made a joke.

"You dare!" Lao Xiao slammed the table and yelled.

"I was just joking, look how anxious you are." Li Xiang shrank his neck.

These words made Xiao Yu so angry that he was speechless for a long time.

Li Xiang saw that the situation was not good, so he confessed his crime and escaped.

Who knew that after he walked out, Xiao Yu suddenly performed a Sichuan Opera face-changing, stroking his beard and laughing heartily.

"Father, what makes you so happy?" Xiao Rui walked in from outside and couldn't help asking when he saw his father looking so happy.

Xiao Yu shook his head and did not answer.

But he was happy in his heart. Li Xiang was so friendly with him, it was obvious that he did not treat him, Lao Xiao, as an outsider.

This is a good thing!
As for it being just a joke, Xiao Yu wasn't really angry, especially since the joke was made by Li Xiang.

Before returning to the Eastern Palace, Li Xiang personally delivered mirrors to the Prince of Wei's and the Prince of Jin's palaces.

Li Tai was very happy with the mirror. Yan Wan would probably be very excited today and would not be busy dealing with him.

As for Li Zhi... he was quite happy. When he saw the floor-length mirror, he had a new idea and his eyes looked at Princess Jin more manly.

Li Xiang saw that the situation was not good and quickly took his leave.

After instructing the eunuch to give Pei Xueqing a mirror as well, he returned to the palace.

First, I went to the East Palace to give a mirror to A Niang.

When I walked to Mingde Hall, I saw a handsome young man walking away.

"Who is this person?" Li Xiang asked the guard beside him.

"My Lord, that is Li Yifu, the Prince's attendant appointed by the Saint some time ago." The guard replied.

Li Xiang nodded and didn't say much, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Li Yifu was a man of deep scheming and scheming. The idiom "a smiling face with a dagger hidden in it" came into being because of him.

This man was good at taking advantage of opportunities and changing his attitude according to the situation. Because he catered to Li Zhi and suggested deposing Wang and enthroning Wu, he was appointed as prime minister, granted the title of Zhongshu Shilang and the third rank of Zhongshu Menxia, ​​and was granted the title of Guangping County Baron. He also became Wu Zetian's confidant.

During Li Yifu's tenure as prime minister, he formed cliques, sold official positions and titles, was extremely powerful, and committed many illegal acts. People at that time called him "Li Cat".

What cat-faced old man...

Not allowed, absolutely not allowed.

We have to find a way to kick him away.

The Eastern Palace does not allow such a powerful person to exist!
It’s not that Li Xiang is narrow-minded. He thinks that there are several types of people. People like Li Yifu are purely bad and cannot be saved at all.

Even if he was promoted to a high position, he was not cut out for it. Instead, he was an expert at forming cliques and pursuing personal interests.

This kind of black sheep must never be allowed to infiltrate the cadre team.

Li Xiang was thinking about Li Yifu, and Li Yifu was also thinking about plotting against Li Xiang.

As a human-cat, you must have some special talents.

When he walked into the Lizheng Hall, Li Xiang saw Li Chengqian smiling triumphantly.

"Xiang'er, come here." Seeing Li Xiang walk into the hall, Li Chengqian waved at him, motioning him to come in.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiang leaned over and saw Li Chengqian holding an article in his hand.

Li Chengqian didn't say anything, but just pointed at the article and smiled like a 100-pound child.

"Respecting the foundation of the country, extending the family's celebration. Shaping the moral standards, leaving the police and the body upright. Caring for the ancestors, serving the emperor, respectfully asking for advice..." Li Xiang muttered, looking up at Li Chengqian: "The writing is good, are you praising my father?"

"Hahaha, this is 'Chenghua Jin' written by Li Yifu, the prince's attendant. It is a must-appreciate!" Li Chengqian said, shaking his head.

"The writing is indeed good." Li Xiang echoed Li Chengqian's point of view.

"Do you think it's good too?" Li Chengqian looked up and asked.

"Of course." Li Xiang nodded with a smile.

"Hahaha..." Li Chengqian laughed for a while, then stretched his head to look at Fubao and others behind Li Xiang: "What are they doing..."

"Oh, I made something good and planned to give it to my mother." Li Xiang said truthfully.

"Since you are so filial, then take it in and show it to your mother." Li Chengqian waved at him and continued to look at his Chenghua Zhen.

Li Chengqian had suffered so much. He had been ridiculed for so many years. He had never been praised so blatantly before. Although there were some admonitions in the text, such as "flatterers have different types, and they are cunning and treacherous; their roots are endless, and their harm will be obvious", there were more compliments. How could Li Chengqian not be happy?
This Li Yifu is really good at making plans! Li Chengqian thought to himself.

Li Xiang led his men into the side hall, where Crown Princess Su Yi was weaving clothes for Li Chengqian. When she saw Li Xiang coming in, she put down the needle and thread in her hand.

"Mother." Li Xiang greeted.

"Is Xiang'er here?" Su Yi nodded and greeted him.

"Mother, I'm here to give you a gift--" Li Xiang stretched out his voice.

After Fubao and others came in carrying the mirror and put it aside, Li Xiang turned around and pulled down the curtain covering the mirror, revealing the huge floor-length mirror.

"Hmm? What is this?" Su Yi asked.

"Mother, come and see. This is a mirror." Li Xiang replied with a smile.

Su Yi stood up and walked to the mirror. He was immediately attracted by the mirror that showed every detail.

Even the Crown Princess pays great attention to her image. For women, loving beauty is their nature.

What's more, Su Yi is born dignified and beautiful, so she naturally cares a lot about her image.

"This mirror..." Su Yi looked at herself in the mirror and said after a while, "Thank you, Xiang'er. Mother likes it very much."

"As long as mother likes it." Li Xiang said with a smile.

Before leaving, Su Yi called Li Xiang and put the knitted scarf around his neck.

"It's so cold, and you don't even wear a scarf." Su Yi rubbed Li Xiang's head, full of love: "You are so old, but you are still as careless as Juer."

"Hehe, thank you, mother." Li Xiang jumped and waved at Su Yi: "I'm going to Lizheng Palace--"

"Go ahead." Su Yi nodded and smiled, "Remember to come back early. Juer said he wants to hear your stories."

"Okay." Li Xiang said, and slipped out of Lizheng Hall.

The last gift was three floor-length mirrors and one hundred small mirrors.

When he arrived at the Lizheng Hall, Li Xiang watched a figure disappear at the door.

When walking into the hall, Li Xiang noticed Lao Li's slightly red ears.

Li Shimin coughed, feeling a little guilty.

Ever since Fang Xuanling returned from Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin had been looking forward to it.

He had heard about Li Xiang's visit to Li Su to give him a mirror. He also wanted to own one of the exquisite floor-length mirrors that Fang Xuanling described as the best in the world.

Xiang'er was given to Shu'er, so why wouldn't he give it to me? Lao Li thought confidently.

However, after waiting for several hours, there was no sign of Li Xiang.

I really couldn't wait any longer, so I stood out and looked around for a long time. My ears were frozen red before I finally saw Li Xiang's late arrival.

But he was an old man after all, and he couldn't let his grandson find out about this embarrassing situation, so Li Shimin slipped back into the hall.

"Uncle, aunt, I'm here to give you gifts." Li Xiang said straight to the point.

Li Shimin cleared his throat and said with controlled emotion: "Well, Xiang'er is here, what good things do you bring?"

Li Mingda beside him turned his head away and chuckled.

Ever since Aye came back from Liangyi Palace, he has been talking to her about Xiang'er giving her the mirror. In just two hours, she heard Aye say "you little heartless person" more than a hundred times.

Now that Xiang'er is here, Aye is pretending to be like this... Ha, who is he showing this to!
"I've brought a mirror for Auntie." Li Xiang said with a smile, "There are three in total, one for Auntie, one for Aunt Hengshan... and of course, one for you, Uncle."

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, Xiang'er is thoughtful. Where is the mirror? Let me see!"

Li Xiang asked someone to bring in the mirror, then he walked forward and lifted the curtain covering the mirror.

Li Shimin couldn't wait to walk forward and adjusted his image in the mirror just like Li Su.

After all, she is Erfeng, the phoenix is ​​the king of birds, and also a bird - as we all know, birds like to look in the mirror and are quite narcissistic, and Erfeng is no exception.

This mirror that showed every detail really touched his heart.

At the same time, he was still sighing in his heart, thinking that it would be great if he could have many sides so that he could use them to reward others, especially the concubines in the harem.

"This mirror is truly a rare treasure. It is hundreds of times better than a bronze mirror!" Li Shimin praised while looking in the mirror.

Li Mingda stood beside Li Shimin, looking at himself in the mirror curiously.

Girls develop much earlier than boys, and people in ancient times matured precociously. Fourteen-year-old Li Mingda has an outstanding figure and pretty face. Coupled with her temperament, it would be no problem for her to carry out a dimensionality reduction attack in a school in later generations.

"There are also a hundred small mirrors." Li Xiang said, and asked someone to bring up the two small boxes: "These are all for Grandfather. If Grandfather wants to reward his officials during the New Year, these things will definitely be the right choice."

"Xiang'er is indeed thoughtful." Li Shimin praised.

Li Mingda also said: "I like this gift from Xiang'er very much."

"By the way, I said before that I would arrange a marriage for you. Do you have a girl you like?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Mingda also raised his head curiously.

"Ah?" Li Xiang was stunned. He was really not prepared.

In order to change the subject, he looked at Li Mingda and asked, "Aunt, do you have any opinions?"

"I think... Pei's Xueqing is pretty good." Li Mingda pointed his index finger at his red lips, forming a picture of a little beauty thinking: "When I was in Dengzhou, Sister Bao'er from the family of Feng Qing, the chief of the Governor's Office, was also very good. Which one do you like?"

"Only children answer multiple-choice questions." Li Xiang rolled up his sleeves and made a very powerful gesture: "I want them all!"

"Pfft..." Li Mingda was amused by him, "Greedy little elephant, you still want all of them?"

"Of course," Li Xiang stretched his body lazily, "Sister Pei is gentle and generous, and Sister Baoer is simple, straightforward and cute. I like both of them."

Li Shimin pointed at him and asked, "Who do you think can be your legal wife?"

"Well...besides, I haven't thought about it yet." Li Xiang shook his head and said, "What does Aung think?"

"What do I mean?" Li Shimin looked at him with puffed beard and glared: "This is your marriage, don't you want both? Now you want to pass the problem to me?"

"Then leave it empty for now and make a decision when you have thought it through." Li Xiang spread his hands and said.

What a scumbag...

Li Mingda looked at his great nephew as if he had discovered a new world.

Why didn’t I realize before that he was so...?

"Then you should think about it carefully." Li Shimin snorted and said, "When you have decided who to marry, I will let them marry!"

(Hmm...please give me a monthly ticket)
