Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

"Presumably, these two are Liu Bai's wives, right?"

Empress Changsun nodded slightly, and said, "Wan'er Rong'er, haven't you met Princess Xinxing soon?"

Liu Wan'er and Liu Rong'er heard the words, they immediately walked down and saluted the old concubine Xinxing.

"Okay, good boy, when you are free in the future, go to Xinxing Palace as a guest!"

After finishing speaking, she looked at Li Deliang, the emerging old prince beside her.

"My lord, do you have any objections?"

Li Deliang was holding a glass of wine and brought it to his mouth. When he heard this, he almost couldn't hold back and spit out the wine from his mouth.

"Ahem, no opinion, no opinion!"

He choked and coughed again and again, subconsciously looked at Liu Bai opposite, his eyes full of guard.

In other words, when he was at the Liu Family Auction, he also bought several glazed wares, and now he basically lost all of them.

When dealing with the Liu family, one must be careful.

"Ma'am, madam, you don't know, the Liu family is terrible!"

Li Deliang sighed secretly.

Everyone else hides from the Liu family, but my wife is fine, she will hire someone if she has nothing to do.

There are many people who think like him.

Including Fang Xuanling, everyone looked at Liu Bai warily.

Last time it was glassware, this time it was ruby.

I don't know what the hell Liu Bai is going to do!

Li Er asked for the 'Star of Hope' from Queen Changsun, admired it for a moment, smacked his mouth, and returned it.

"Okay, it's already a little late, today is the queen's birthday, so don't delay any longer, let's start the banquet again!"

Chapter 432 Damn it, why is it not my birthday yet?

Wine needs to be drunk glass by glass, and things need to be done one by one.

On the empress's birthday, first the princes and daughters knelt down to celebrate their birthdays.

Li Chengqian lined up with his younger brothers and sisters.

"I wish the queen mother will always smile and live forever!"

Empress Changsun smiled gratifiedly, and waved a group of children to get up.

Next, it's time to give gifts.

Among the pile of gifts, the statue of Lantian jade presented by Li Chengqian arrogantly occupied more than half of the place.

Empress Changsun's small-character Avalokitesvara maidservant, every 15th day of the lunar new year, would offer a stick of incense to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

Seeing such a beautiful texture and such a big Jade Guanyin, I was so surprised that I couldn't close my mouth from ear to ear.

When she knew that this jade Guanyin was carved by Li Chengqian herself, she made an exception and gave Li Chengqian the Guanyin jade pendant that she had carried with her for more than 20 years.

The gifts from other princes and princesses will pale in comparison.

Li Ke, the third son of the emperor, gave a screen with a painting of deer milk serving his relatives, and Li Tai gave a pair of sapphire paperweights from the Warring States Period.

On the contrary, the gift from Li You and Li Yin was quite touching.

Li You's was a huge potato weighing more than ten catties, while Li Yin's was a corn as long as an adult's arm.

It was placed on the Dragon Case by His Majesty the Emperor, and it was regarded as auspiciousness from heaven.

After the princes and princesses, it is the wives.

After the imperial wives finished delivering, everyone's eyes were on Liu Bai.

The reason why Liu Bai entered Chang'an was because of the empress's birthday.

Civil and military officials don't need to send it, but if he doesn't, it's a bit unreasonable.

What's more, anyone can see that there are two big boxes behind Liu Bai!

Liu Bai took the towel, wiped his mouth slowly, and then slowly got up.

"Qizou empress, Liu Bai also has a birthday present!"

Before Empress Changsun could speak, Li Erxian couldn't wait.

"Take it out and have a look!"

Even Liu Wan'er and Liu Rong'er gave a priceless ruby, how could Liu Bai's gift be worse?

I saw that Liu Bai called several young eunuchs to move one of the boxes to the center of the hall, while he picked up the other box.

When the first box was opened, everyone couldn't help being disappointed.

Even Li Er's eyes dimmed a bit.

It's just an ordinary golden statue.

Even if it's sculpted like a queen, it's no big deal.

It would be fine to replace it with someone else, such a large golden statue would cost tens of thousands of silver at least.

But Liu Bai is recognized as the richest person in Datang!

I heard that the toilets in their house are all gold.

Isn't it too shabby to send such a little thing?

Although Empress Changsun didn't show much, it was obvious that she was not very interested in the golden statue.

"You have a heart"

Liu Bai cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, this golden statue is not a gift from Liu Bai!"

Empress Changsun raised her eyebrows and said, "How do you say it?"

Liu Bai asked the little eunuchs to turn over the golden statue.

I saw a few lines of writing engraved on the back of the golden statue.

"All households in the Liu Family Zhuangzi, I wish you a long and boundless life!"

Empress Changsun squinted her eyes and stood up abruptly!

Li Er also stood up, with a solemn expression on his face!

One emperor and one queen unexpectedly walked down the dragon steps one after another and came to the golden statue!

Civil and military officials were astonished.

It's just a golden statue, what's so strange about it?

Most likely it was Liu Bai who didn't want to spend more time, so he came up with a way to prevaricate the empress.

Empress Changsun's eyes were filled with brilliance, and she stretched out her hand to caress the line of small characters.

After a long time, she sighed and said, "This is the best gift I have ever received."

In the eyes of the officials, a golden statue is very ordinary, but to the emperor and empress, it means a lot!

Most of the people in Datang were still below the poverty line.

Even if the folks in Liujiazhuangzi have a better life, how can it be easier?

They made up some pictures in their brains.

In order to celebrate the queen's birthday, the villagers of Liujiazhuangzi took out the property that had been treasured for a lifetime from the beams of the house and the pigsty, and lined up to send it to the goldsmith's shop.

Perhaps, after contributing their property, many people have no money to live on!

Thinking about it, the Empress Empress' eye circles turned red.

She touched the line of small characters, and murmured: "I haven't done anything for the folks in Liujiazhuangzi."

Liu Bai said without blushing, "The Empress has visited the Liu Family Village in person several times. In the eyes of the villagers, it is already a supreme honor!"

Empress Changsun looked at Liu Bai, and said with some distress: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, folks"

She pondered for a moment, then solemnly said: "Come here!"

The accompanying maid stepped forward immediately.

"The inner government will provide money to the villagers of Liujiazhuangzi, and prepare a new year's gift from door to door, and send an extra copy to families with children and the elderly!"

"Yes!"

Only then did Empress Changsun remember that His Majesty was still standing beside her.

"Your Majesty, do you have any objections?"

Li Er's eyes stared straight at the golden statue. At this moment, he was even a little envious of Empress Changsun.

What is the aspiration of the people?

This is what the people want!

He secretly said in his heart: "Damn it, why is my birthday not yet?!"

"His Majesty?"

Empress Changsun called out again.

Li Er smiled and said: "Why would I have any objection? Pass on my decree to exempt Liujiazhuangzi from paying taxes for three years. From then on, every new year, the inner government will give a new year's gift to the villagers of Liujiazhuangzi, for the sake of Forever!"

"Liu Bai is on behalf of Liu Family Zhuangzi, thank you Your Majesty and Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Empress Changsun stopped Liu Bai from saluting, and said sincerely: "This Palace should thank you. Without your teaching, Liu Family Zhuangzi would not be as rich as he is today!"

She waved her hand and said: "Put this golden statue in Zichen Hall!"

After finishing speaking, she looked at the big box that had been placed next to Liu Bai, her eyes full of anticipation.

Civil and military officials have long gone crazy!

Most of the eyes looking at Liu Bai were full of jealousy.

Tens of thousands of coins can be exchanged for the queen's favor, and it can even be said to be gratitude.

It's a bargain!

The person who was still laughing at Liu Bai just now feels his face hurts!

Flattering is a science, and it is a university question.

Above this path, Liu Bai can be called a master level!

And Liu Bai's next gift made their eyes drop even more!

It's a bow!

An old, rusty bow.

However, it's not considered an antiquity, because the animal skin wrapped around the handshake still has some color.

At most, it is only 50 or [-] years old.

In the weapon shop, five copper coins can buy several handfuls.

What really surprised them was not Gong's extraordinaryness, nor the reaction of Empress Changsun.

Just as Liu Bai took out the bow, the eldest grandson Wuji, who had been reticent throughout the ceremony, jumped up all of a sudden!

He jumped directly from the low table, jumped to Liu Bai in a few steps, grabbed the other end of the old bow, and hissed: "Where did you get this bow, this bow?!"

Chapter 433 Who asked Chai Lingwu to embrace Liu Bai's thick leg

Changsun family!

From the Xianbei nobles of the Northern Qi Dynasty!

The father of Changsun Wuji and Empress Changsun was Sun Sheng, the former Sui Youxiaowei General, and his mother was the daughter of Gaomai, King Le'an of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

In the "Sui Shu" that Wei Zheng majored in, there are many records about Changsun Sheng.
