My harem can't be this messy

Everyone worked together to tear down two houses. The flow of people hurriedly swept away the flammable wood and moved the grain accumulated in the warehouse out of the warehouse at a high speed.

The blocking method, when the fire is difficult to control, clears an area where the flame cannot continue to spread along the path of the flame.

Li Zhi looked at the two quickly cleared houses, and naturally saw that the queen mother's choice was the most appropriate.

By the time the people from the East Palace arrived, the fire had been brought under control. Here in Taicang, everyone was still putting out the embers. There were burnt grains everywhere on the ground, and it was hard to tell what kind of grain it was.

The salvaged grains were piled up randomly, and several grain bags had been ruptured, and the wheat grains rolled into the rain, appearing round and plump.

"Let the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple quickly investigate!"

"Yes, Queen Mother, the emperor will let someone check it out. Queen Mother, leave this place to the emperor. Queen Mother, please go back to the palace to rest!"

Li Chengqian braved the wind and rain, watching the tragic scene of being burned here in Taicang, while Empress Changsun didn't dare to let out a few more breaths.There was a fire in Taicang, which meant that my backyard was burned. One can imagine how the queen mother felt at this time.

Li Chengqian is the crown prince, Taizong is not in Chang'an at this time, the responsibility of supervising the country is on him, and Taicang is on fire, so he has nothing to do with the pursuit of responsibility.At least it is also a responsibility of negligence, how dare to neglect it at this time.

The bright flames of the flames had been extinguished at this time, and there was still thick smoke billowing in the ruins.

A dozen or so warehouse houses were burned, and the food stored inside had obviously been destroyed.

After Empress Changsun left, Li Chengqian was here to direct the Imperial Army to clean up the scene and count the losses. People from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment have also started to investigate the cause of the fire in the rain. The crown prince ordered that they must find out the cause of the fire.

Li Zhi didn't go back with Empress Changsun. Looking at the hundreds of sacks of wheat piled up there, there must be nearly a thousand stones of wheat. One stone in the Tang Dynasty was equivalent to 53 kilograms in later generations. There must be as many as forty or fifty tons of wheat.

Forty to fifty tons, based on the output of the land in the Tang Dynasty, the yield per mu is about one stone, and the grain accumulated here is the output of nearly a thousand mu of fertile land in one season.

At this time, there was no such thing as corn in China, so there was no farming system such as two harvests a year, one crop of wheat and one crop of corn.Even if the fertile soil in Guanzhong is to grow wheat, millet and beans, it can barely achieve two harvests of wheat and beans or two harvests of grains and beans.

Most areas in the north are bitterly cold, and it is common to harvest once a year. In some areas, the land is barren, and the yield per mu is actually difficult to reach one stone.

So much food was randomly piled up in the spring rain at this time, and most of it was already soaked. Li Zhi looked at the busy emperor and walked over.

"Brother Huang, are these wheat?"

"Third brother, how can the emperor have the time to take care of these wheat at this time?"

"Then can you give me these wheat emperors!"

"What do you want these wheat for?"

"The emperor will know this in a few days."

"Okay, Brother Huang will ask someone to transport the wheat to... Third Brother, do you want to transport it to Prince Jin's Mansion?"

"It would be best if it could be transported to Prince Jin's Mansion."

"Okay, Brother Huang understands."

Li Zhi left Taicang, he can't control the affairs here, and he doesn't want to participate.Li Zhi does not intend to participate in any major family and country affairs. Participating in these matters will always give people a feeling that they are fighting for something. This feeling must not be allowed to others, let alone the prince.

At this time, Li Zhi wants to be a king of idleness, making people feel that he has no intention of pursuing politics at all, and only wants to be a prince of prosperity. .

After returning to the Palace of Wanchun, Li Zhi sent Xia He to Jinwang Mansion, and waited for the people from the East Palace to transport the batch of rain-wet wheat to Jinwang Mansion.

Xia He left, and Chuntao took the remaining imperial daughters to Ruyina in the bamboo garden early in the morning.

At this time Li Zhi was in the Wanchun Palace, but suddenly he lost a close person.

He walked out of the Wanchun Palace, looked in the direction of the Lizheng Gate, saw a small head sticking out of the Lizheng Gate, glanced at the Wanchun Palace, saw himself, that little head quickly shrank back to the Lizheng Gate Inside.

Li Zhi smiled, walked towards the Lizheng Gate, entered the Lizheng Gate, and saw the figure of the little queen entering the Lizheng Hall.

Chapter 144

Li Zhi saw Dongmei and Qiuju outside the hall, and beckoned to Dongmei, and Dongmei hurried to King Jin.

"Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"How is the queen mother now?"

"Your Majesty is in a bad mood right now, Your Highness, it's best not to go inside right now."

"Oh!"

Li Zhi retreated back to Wanchun Palace, and called a maid of Wanchun Palace at random, and asked her to prepare the carriage. After the carriage was ready, Li Zhi looked inside Wanchun Palace.

"Do you know where Yue'er is?"

"Returning to Your Highness, is it Yue'er, the court lady who holds the lamp at night?"

"Yes, where is she now?"

"Rest in Ye Ting Palace, she will come to Wanchun Palace when the lights are on."

"This king knows!"

Li Zhi waved his hand!

Let's wait for Chuntao to come back and go to Zhuyuan again!There is no close maid around, and it is inconvenient to go out of the palace this time. After all, Chang'an is still quite unfamiliar with Li Zhi at this time, and he is more familiar with the city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, he thought that Yue'er would live here in Wanchun Palace and let her go with him, but when he heard that she was staying in Yeting Palace, he gave up this idea.

Doesn't it mean that an ordinary palace lady who holds a lantern lives in the Yeting Palace? How could she live in Wanchun Palace like her personal maid?

Li Zhi returned to the Wanchun Palace, and waited for Chuntao to come back, and then took her to the bamboo garden again, but Li Zhi didn't wait long, and a charming court lady entered the Wanchun Palace.

Li Zhi looked at the maid, and his face changed slightly.

"Yue'er, you didn't rest during the day, why did you come here?"

"Isn't Your Highness Chuan Yue'er?"

Li Zhi patted his forehead, it seems that the maid misunderstood, he just asked casually, it was fine if Yue'er was not there, he didn't expect that maid made a special trip to Yeting Palace to announce that Yue'er was here.

At this time, Li Zhi took a closer look at Yue'er, the girl was still a little tired, but it was not serious.

But thinking about it, Li Zhi thought of the fire in Taicang this morning, and looked at Yue'er again.

"Yue'er, did you not get a rest today when you returned to Yeting Palace?"

"Returning to Your Highness, not long after Yue'er returned today, there was a fire in Taicang. The Yeting Palace was too noisy. Even now, the maids in the Yeting Palace are still talking about it."

"Oh, I understand. You will sleep in the carriage for a while, and you don't need to light the lamp at night. Rest tonight."

"what!"

Yue'er let out a little surprise, and looked at King Jin, only to see that King Jin smiled at her.

"Didn't you understand my king's words?"

"Thank you, Your Highness, Yue'er!"

Yue'er gave a quick blessing, and Li Zhi walked over to help the girl up.

"Well, are you familiar with Chang'an?"

"Where is Your Highness going?"

"Bamboo Garden!"

"Yue'er still knows about it, Your Highness, in fact, the coachmen in the palace are familiar with all places in Chang'an."

Li Zhi patted his forehead, what was he thinking about today, how could he forget the driver.

The fire in Taicang burned his own thoughts to the ground, and Li Zhi was helpless, it was really dark under the lights, and it was Yue'er who woke up the dreamer with a single sentence.

"Go, accompany me for a walk!"

Li Zhi brought Yue'er, and as soon as the girl left the Lizheng Hall.He obediently followed behind Li Zhi, about three steps away.

After getting into the carriage and just sitting down for a while, the girl yawned big, hung her head, and didn't dare to look at King Jin, as if she had made a big mistake.

Li Zhi looked at her, and he was not polite, and hugged her into his arms.

"Okay, it's still far away from the bamboo garden, you sleep for a while, then sleep in the king's arms."

"Your Highness, so..."

Li Zhi nodded on the girl's red lips, not letting her speak, and gently covered her eyes with his hands.

"Sleep, the king will call you when you arrive at Zhuyuan."

At this time Li Zhi also leaned against the wall of the car, Yue'er in his arms did not dare to open his eyes, His Highness went away, the curtain in the carriage was also drawn, and the carriage was dark, and at some point, Yue'er really fell asleep .

When they arrived at the bamboo garden, the carriage did not enter the newly opened small garden, but entered the big garden, passed the gate, and drove straight to the place where the owner lived deep in the bamboo garden.

At this moment, Li Zhi patted Yue'er in Huaizhong on the shoulder, watched the girl open her eyes, and opened the curtain of the carriage.Outside, there was a constant rustling of bamboo leaves from the rain, and the stone path and stone surface that the carriage passed by had been cleaned spotlessly by the spring rain.

Arriving outside the courtyard where the owner lived, Li Zhi stopped the carriage, and there was no sound of the wheels, and the sound of the surrounding rainwater falling on the bamboo forest became clearer.

Yue'er got out of the carriage first, and held up the oil-paper umbrella in the carriage.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Li Zhi got out of the carriage, and at the railing of the veranda, a young woman was looking at the direction of the carriage door, smiling at Li Zhi.

At this time, under the cover of the oil-paper umbrella supported by Yi Cui, she walked towards King Jin.

The delicate body of the beautiful woman under the oil-paper umbrella was slightly blessed, and Li Zhi gently lifted it up, naturally supporting the waist with his hands, and did not leave.

"This king is going to trouble Miss Cui again."

"If your Highness has any orders, just send someone over to pass them on. It's raining outside in spring, but His Highness has come in person."

"It's raining in spring, but the scenery in this bamboo garden is even better. Fortunately, the king is here today, otherwise I would have missed an opportunity to listen to the sound of rain falling in the bamboo forest."

"His Royal Highness likes to hear the sound of falling rain. I asked Yi Cui to cook a pot of spring tea in Luohua Pavilion and listen carefully to His Highness. By the way, talk to His Highness about something."

"Oh, this is the best way. Luohuating accompany the beauty to taste tea, and listen to the rain. It's exquisite."

"Yi Cui, get ready!"

"By the way, Miss Yicui, find a clean room for my maid, Yue'er, in the garden, and let her rest. She hasn't rested since last night."

As Li Zhi said, Cui Yan's eyes slightly changed a few times when he looked at him.

Is this prince who grew up in the palace so sympathetic to the women around him?The Dudao Emperor's House is the most ruthless, and it seems that it can't be blinded by a single leaf.

"Yi Cui, take Yue'er to the small garden where I live, the side room is the cleanest."

Li Zhi took the oil-paper umbrella from Yue'er, and let Yi Cui and Yue'er share an umbrella to leave.

"Miss Cui, let's go to Luohuating now."

The bamboo garden is quiet and quiet, except for the continuous sound of rain, beating bamboo leaves and branches, endlessly.

Li Zhi personally held the oil-paper umbrella, which was tilted slightly, covering the misty sky above Cui Yan's head.

"Your Highness, if you continue to take care of Yan'er like this, His Highness' shoulders will be soaked."

"As long as you're not wet!"

Cui Yan leaned closer to King Jin, looked at his handsome face, and smiled softly.This will cover the whole umbrella.

The two walked slowly, listening to the rain, but it was also a kind of scenery.

When he arrived at the Luohua Pavilion, Li Zhi looked around. The Luohua Pavilion was beside a water pavilion, surrounded by water on two sides, with a bamboo forest on one side, and only a few peach trees planted on one side. The tiny peaches were also knocked down a lot by the wind and rain.

There are only a few days of falling flowers in this Luohua Pavilion a year.

Li Zhi put away the oil-paper umbrella, and saw a circle of wooden chairs and a round stone table in the pavilion.

"Your Highness, I made you laugh."

Chapter 145

Li Zhi looked at Cui Yan, at this time the hand on Cui Yan's waist finally loosened, but he took Cui Yan's jade hand, and slowly sat on the circle of chairs, leaning against the railing of the gazebo, the gazebo stretched out The eaves happened to completely cover the spring rain outside.

"Miss Cui, it's rare to see such a beautiful scenery here, even in the imperial palace. How can this king laugh at you!"

"It's as long as His Highness likes it. What is His Highness coming here today?"

"The king wants Miss Cui to prepare some glutinous rice for the king and send it to the Prince Jin's mansion in Beicheng."

"Nuomi, why does Your Highness want this thing? How much do you need?"

"As for why, Miss Cui doesn't need to ask. At that time, the king will use other things to pay for the money. How much? About [-] shi."

"Your Highness wants so much?"

"Yes, it's because there are so many that I need to bother Ms. Cui. Is there something wrong with Ms. Cui? If there is any difficulty, I will think of another way."

Cui Yan also leaned against the railing there, looked outside at the rainwater dripping along the glazed tile eaves of the gazebo, and then looked at King Jin.
