This is not the Datang I am familiar with

If there are many people, there is great strength. When the food in the kitchen is ready, a set of mahjong has already been made here.

Chen Fang took a look, this one is made of bamboo and wood, the appearance looks very good, the bamboo wood is strong, but it can be used for a long time, unlike playing cards, creases and gaps will appear after playing a few times, and it will not work at all in half a day at most. played.

Do you want to give this thing to your empress, and if you give it to your empress, what do you use it for?Or bamboo.

When Chen Fang saw mahjong, the first thing he thought of was Wu Meiniang.

There is no way, when he comes to this world, the thickest and most beautiful thigh he can hug is Wu Meiniang, can you not think about it?

And sending Wu Meiniang is actually giving away to the emperor, mahjong can't be played alone.

At this time, because of the temptation of mahjong, no matter whether the servant girl or the two highnesses met, they wanted to learn how to play quickly at this time, but they ate the meal in a hurry.

By the time the dishes and chopsticks were removed, the table had already been wiped clean by a maid.

A thick cloth was spread on the table, Tao Hong had already placed mahjong on the table, Chen Fang sat in the front seat, and had already started to play the cards.

Chen Fang called the two Highnesses, and Tao Hong came over first to make up the numbers.

As for learning to play, the two His Royal Highnesses and these servant girls are very quick at learning.If you really put your mind to it, you can learn everything quickly.

The game can start after a while, but at this time Chen Fang retreated, he was very skilled at playing cards, and playing with these beginners at this time, it was not obvious that he was bullying others.

Chen Fang withdrew, and Yin Ye made up for it.

There was a lot of noise in the yard, and the two Highnesses were having a great time playing with Tao Hong Yin Ye.

The rest of the maids around are watching, and they have basically learned it at this time.

Chen Fang took a look and began to count.

There are already many people living in this yard and people serving during the day.

The two highnesses, myself, the six maidservants of the two highnesses, my pink and silver Ye Qian'er and Dingyu, there are thirteen people in total, how can this table be enough?

It seems that we still have to do it, and we are going to give it to Wu Meiniang, so let's do three more copies first.

At this time, he played mahjong a few times, and Yiyang began to feel bored again, and needed to add some excitement.

At this time, Chen Fang got up from the reclining chair and walked behind Yi Yang, putting his hands on her perfect jade shoulders.

"Add some color?"

"Yeah, otherwise it would be boring to play too much."

"Your Highness, then play with the money, just make a point or two."

"Okay, what do you think?"

Gao An looked over there.

"It's boring. It's boring to play one or two games. Whoever loses in our game will be bullied by the concubine."

Yiyang kicked his imperial sister under the table, saying this in front of so many people.

Chen Fang liked Gao An's proposal, this girl really, how to put it, has ideas.

"Just play with a small amount of money, and if you want to play with others, bring your own maid to play."

"Peach red, silver leaf, how about it?"

"Okay, Your Highness!"

The two maids had a lot of money in their private houses, among other things, Yinye earned a lot of money from Chen Fang, how could a small money fan not have a small treasury.

As for Taohong, hehe, how could the empress's former personal maid be not respected by others.I'm afraid it will be scary if the small treasury is taken out.

At this time, there were several strings of copper coins on the table, and the two princesses and the maid were having fun.

The night was getting dark, Gao An's three maids were about to leave, and there were still many people in the yard.

Chen Fang looked at the light of stars and moon above his head, pressed Yiyang's shoulder, and suddenly leaned close to her ear and said a few words.

"That's all for today, go back and rest."

"Sister Huang, I haven't played enough, I'm sitting on the bank and winning!"

"I didn't know I was going to bed after playing so much! Clean it up!"

Gao An pouted, but there was nothing he could do!Taking a look at Chen Fang, it was because the son-in-law would not let him play.

At this time the table was cleared, Chen Fang pulled Yiyang into the room to rest.

On the second day, early Chen Fang called a group of carpenters to start making mahjong.

He has already gone to the soap making workshop, everything needs to be prepared there, today is the eighth birthday party of His Royal Highness, so I can't be careless.

At this time, the palace was already in full swing, and Princess Taiping's eighth birthday banquet was a rare royal banquet.

Although she is only a princess, she is generally no better than a prince, but the whole of Chang'an knows that His Majesty loves this little Highness the most.

In the palace, whoever His Majesty likes is always more favored.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Ersheng doesn't like other princes and princesses.

For Wu Meiniang, the Prince's sons, and An Ding's daughters were all born in October of her pregnancy, so they were all her favorites, how could she not like them.

For Li Zhi, the princes and princesses born to him by Wu Meiniang are all treasures, none of them are unimportant.

I said I like it the most, but in fact, most of it is because Taiping is the youngest.

Wu Tianran came to congratulate the princess on her birthday banquet. At this time, a special place was set up in the palace, and before the banquet started, the place was already very lively.

Some court ladies and eunuchs served here, and they had already served tea, snacks and snacks.

The most popular here at this time is melon seeds and peanuts. At this time, the main banquet has not yet started, and the second saint is still in the future, but the atmosphere is even more harmonious and indifferent.

But all banquets have always had a meaning in China, that is, to connect with each other.

But when it comes to Chaotang, it is the best choice for connecting feelings.

At this time, sitting next to King An, there were several clans surnamed Li. They were all members of the same clan as His Majesty, and they were the most distinguished group of people in the entire Tang Dynasty.

"King An, you are the most well-informed. Tang Gongfang really made soap?"

"Your news is no worse than mine. There are so many people in the palace who have seen it, but there are still fakes!"

"Haha, Tang Gongfang has made great contributions this time. His Majesty cares about things like Xiqin the most."

"That's right, today you don't think that the standard of the little princess's birthday banquet has been raised a few levels!"

...

At this time, these Li Tangzong relatives were not the only ones talking about soap, other ministers also got the news, and they all gathered together to talk at this time.

Chapter 328 His Royal Highness's Birthday Banquet

That day when Chen Fang presented soap to the Second Sage, there were many people present, four concubines and nine concubines, so many court ladies and eunuchs, how could the news not spread.

The four concubines and nine concubines had their own family in Chang'an, so the news naturally spread to the family, so why didn't those ministers Wu Zaigong have anyone to pass the news on.

Besides, His Majesty did not restrain others from spreading the news at all.Even Li Zhi himself wanted to let the whole court, the whole Chang'an, and the whole world know that the soap was made by Datang Workshop.

At this time, the discussion here was intense, and almost everyone present gathered to discuss it.

In the Palace of Ganlu, Li Zhi pulled Wu Meiniang but went to the palace where the two Highnesses lived.

At this time, Taiping is the protagonist of today, and there are already special court ladies dressing up for him.

Wearing a gorgeous palace attire that can only be worn at a grand banquet, the hair has already been combed with clouds, and the headdress and crown have been carefully matched. The maid carefully takes care of each strand of hair so that today's little highness will not make any mistakes.

"Royal Father! Queen Mother!"

Seeing the father and the queen coming in with his mother, Taiping let out a cry of excitement, but at this time the maid was still dressing her up, but she didn't get up.

Otherwise, His Royal Highness must have run to his father and queen to give him a hug.

"Taiping, today is your birthday, are you happy?"

Wu Meiniang let go of Her Majesty's hand at this time, stood behind Taiping, looked at her daughter, and lowered her body to ask her younger daughter.

"Happy, Queen Mother, what will Chen Fang give me tonight?"

Wu Meiniang nodded her daughter-in-law's eyebrows, she wanted the gift from the son-in-law the most.In fact, I was also looking forward to it. The last time the prince's birthday banquet, Chen Fang's gift shocked the court, Chang'an, and the whole world.

"The queen mother you asked doesn't know, but she will know when the son-in-law sends you off."

"Ok!"

"You guys take good care of Taiping!"

Wu Meiniang gave an order and walked out with Li Zhi.

At this time outside, standing by the railing, Li Zhi suddenly held Wu Meiniang's hand, pressed it lightly on the white marble railing, and stroked the back of Wu Meiniang's hand that fascinated him no matter how he looked at it.

"Hurry up, Taiping is already eight years old!"

Li Zhi said, sighed softly, and looked at his favorite woman in this world.

"Yeah, so fast. I still remember when she was in my arms when she was a child. Little Taiping was restless at that time."

Wu Meiniang smiled, Li Zhi liked that smile so much, no matter how many times he saw it, it was never enough.

"Meiniang, these eight years have been the most troublesome time for you!"

Lightly hugging Wu Meiniang's shoulder, Wu Meiniang turned around, and the eyes of the two saints met.

"Being able to share worries for His Majesty is also the happiest time for Meiniang."

Li Zhi looked into the distance, but he looked in the direction of Tang Gongfang.

"What do you think Chen Fanghui gave Taiping tonight?"

"It's not that he already said, to celebrate His Highness's birthday with soap!"

"Yes, this is less novel!"

"It's not good, but there are still surprises."

"Surprise, since he came to the palace, it has been the happiest year I have ever lived, but the surprise has never stopped."

"Your Majesty is also greedy!"

Wu Meiniang said softly, Li Zhi looked at her, she was greedy, Li Zhi never thought of himself being greedy before, but since Chen Fang came to Taiji Palace, it seemed that he couldn't eat the food before.

If it is not greedy, what is it?

"Mei Niang is not too!"

Li Zhi looked at her, Wu Meiniang nodded lightly, greedy, only the two saints could tease each other like this.

"Your Majesty, Mei Niang feels that you seem to have something to say today."

"Chen Fang made such a great contribution, how do you think I should reward him?"

"Your Majesty already has an idea in mind!"

"Let's go, it's almost time. I do have some ideas, but I don't know if it's the right time."

Li Zhi took Wu Meiniang and walked into the night-colored Tai Chi Palace.

At this time, Tang Gongfang's carriage had arrived at Tai Chi Palace, Chen Fang and Yiyang Gao'an got off the carriage, followed by Tao Hong and Yin Ye carrying a few boxes.

At this time, when the dinner party was about to start, Chen Fang pulled Yi Yang and walked towards the party.

On the way, I met Ersheng, so I hurried to greet him.

At this time Li Zhi nodded, but looked past the two princess concubines and looked at his second daughter.

Gao An has grown up too, and it's time to talk about marriage.

At this time, Li Zhi remembered that when Yiyang was betrothed to Chen Fang, Yiyang came to Daming Palace to look for him, and he promised Yiyang that she and Gao Anxiao would marry the ancient Ehuang Nvying together.

Shouldn't the promise be fulfilled at this time?

At that time, Li Zhi clearly stated that Chen Fang needed to fulfill three conditions in order to marry his daughters.

The first condition is to reverse the decline in trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Qin Dynasty, and the second condition is to suppress the forces of the Wuxing family and Guanlong.The third is a three-year time limit.

On the prince's birthday last time, Chen Fang offered movable type printing, which greatly reduced the cost of books, which equated to giving more opportunities to scholars all over the world, allowing more scholars to participate in imperial government affairs through the imperial examination.

Pursuing this matter in depth is the biggest blow to those traditional wealthy families. More and more talents who have been admitted to the imperial court enter the court, and naturally the power of these traditional forces will be more and more dispersed.Those are the only people employed by the imperial court, and there are more people who have entered the imperial examination, and those traditional aristocratic families are naturally fewer.

Reducing the proportion of their number in the court and place gradually moved their foundation.

In the long run, this matter has suppressed the forces of the Five Surnames and Guan Long, and the further it goes, its influence will only become greater.
