Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Then Du He told the story of how he was impeached in Taiji Hall and how Li Shimin later rewarded him with three fox furs because he had the courage to test the safety of the fire pit.

When Li Yi heard that her husband had received another reward, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face.

She deliberately said: "My husband, you have performed meritorious deeds so frequently now that you are almost using up all of Father's stock."

After finishing speaking, Li Yi turned his head and glanced at Gao Yang, and found that she had a dark face the whole time. The depression in Li Yi's heart was immediately swept away.

"Humph~"

"You're wearing a mottled leopard fur coat, and you dare to show off here!"

Li Yi tilted his head slightly, complaining proudly in his heart.

She then took off her old sheepskin coat and handed it to the maid beside her, and then excitedly put on the fox fur coat that suited her.

Li Yi turned around and asked, "Husband, does this fox fur coat look good on me?"

Looking at Li Yi wearing fox fur, who was as beautiful as a fairy descended to the earth, Du He couldn't help but stare at her in a trance.

Du He praised her and said, "It's more than beautiful, it's like a fairy from heaven descending to earth!"

Even Linglong's eyes were wide open, and saliva was almost flowing out of the corners of her mouth.

She said blankly: "Your Highness the Princess is so beautiful!"

Hearing the praises from her beloved husband and Linglong, Li Yi's face immediately broke into a bright smile.

Gao Yang, who was standing not far away, was also filled with desire when she saw the fox fur coat without any other colors on Li Yi.

She looked down at the colorful leopard fur she was wearing, then looked at the solid fox fur Li Yi was wearing, and wished she could take off the leopard fur immediately.

"hateful!"

A look of resentment appeared on Gao Yang's face, and his slender hands hidden under his sleeves were clenched into fists.

Among the fur coats of the Tang Dynasty, fox fur and leopard fur are the most precious, and pure fox fur is several times more valuable than leopard fur.

"Huainanzi·Shuolinxun" records: "Leopard fur is mixed, not as good as fox fur which is pure."

The Han Dynasty document "Shuo Yuan" records: "There are those who wear embroidered clothes and leopard fur, and there are those who wear brocade clothes and fox fur."

From this we can see that even fur coats made of different materials are divided into different grades.

Li Yi first took out the smallest fox fur coat and put it on Du Ping'an, then pointed at the old sheepskin coat he was wearing and said to Linglong who was full of envy.

"Linglong, you and I have similar figures, so I'll let you wear this sheepskin coat from now on."

"My sister is right. I have worn this sheepskin coat for several years. It looks a bit old now."

When Linglong heard that the princess was going to give her an expensive sheepskin coat, she was stunned for a moment, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

After a few breaths, Linglong was shaking with excitement.

"Thank you, Princess, for your reward."

As she spoke, she knelt on the ground without caring about the cold wooden board and kowtowed several times respectfully to Li Yi.

As a lowly slave, she never expected to be treated so well by Her Royal Highness the Princess. How could she not be moved to tears of gratitude?

Li Yi hurriedly said, "You silly girl, hurry up and get up. The ground is so cold, don't freeze yourself."

"Yeah." Linglong responded and quickly got up.

She hurriedly walked to the maid holding the sheepskin, carefully took the fur, and then happily put it on herself.

"So warm!"

Linglong shouted with joy.

Looking at Linglong whose face turned red with excitement, Li Yi and Du He looked at each other and smiled faintly.

After Linglong put on the sheepskin coat, her whole temperament changed suddenly and she looked more like a rich lady.

Princess Gaoyang's personal maid Taozi, seeing how generous Princess Chengyang was, gave the precious sheepskin coat to her good sister Linglong.

She was happy for Linglong, but also felt a little jealous.

Because she had followed Princess Gaoyang for so many years, not only had she not been rewarded with a fur coat, she hadn't even had thicker clothes.

"Whoo~"

When Princess Gaoyang saw Li Yi's provocative behavior, she became so angry that her face turned red.

Although her princess mansion also had old sheepskin and sable furs, which she might never wear again, she was still reluctant to give to Taozi, a servant.

Seeing that staying would only make him angry, Gao Yang told everyone the ultimate purpose of his visit.

"Sister, I am not here today to show you the leopard fur coat, but to invite you to go to Huichang Temple tomorrow to burn incense and chant sutras."

"Last year, when you went to Huichang Temple to burn incense and chant sutras, Prince Consort Du was promoted from the fifth rank Shangcheng Fengyu to the current third rank Gongbu Shangshu."

"You must go and fulfill your vow this year, otherwise there may be bad consequences!"

Buddhism is currently flourishing in the Tang Dynasty. From the royal family to ordinary people, many people are devout Buddhists.

In particular, the princes and nobles represented by Li Shimin and Xiao Yu were the most obsessed with Buddhism.

When Du He heard Princess Gaoyang inviting Li Yi to Huichang Temple to fulfill his vow, his brows instantly frowned, and he vaguely felt something was wrong.

"What is this bitch Gao Yang up to?"

However, making a wish in front of the Buddha and returning to fulfill it after it is fulfilled is a very normal behavior in the current Tang Dynasty.

Li Yi also wanted to fulfill her wish, but she was worried that her husband would have objections, so she looked up at Du He and asked for his opinion.

Seeing Du He nodded slightly to her, Li Yi also showed a faint smile on her face.

Li Yi thought for a moment, then frowned slightly and asked.

"Royal sister, besides you and me, is there anyone else going?"

Gao Yang said softly, "There are also Princess Baling and Princess Nanping. They saw that your wish was quite effective, and they also wanted to pray for their own prince consorts to have a better career."

Princess Baling's husband was Chai Lingwu, while Princess Nanping's husband was Wang Jingzhi.

For Princess Baling, she believed that her husband was no less capable than Du He in terms of family background or talent, and should hold a higher position.

Princess Nanping knew that Wang Jingzhi's three good brothers, Du He, Xiao Kai and Cui Shenji, were now in strong official careers, but he was the only one who was just idling around in the Sinong Temple.

So when Princess Nanping received Princess Gaoyang's invitation, she accepted it without hesitation.

Li Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to Huichang Temple with you guys tomorrow to fulfill our vow."

All the great wishes she made before the Buddha have been fulfilled in excess, and she also wants to fulfill this wish as soon as possible.

Gao Yang said quickly: "Royal sister, I will come to see you again at 11:00 am tomorrow, and we will go together then."

"It's late now, so I won't bother you and Prince Consort Du any more."

After saying this, Gao Yang looked straight at Du He with her beautiful eyes, and her pupils seemed to be rippling with spring water.

Hearing that Gao Yang was going back, Li Yi wished she would leave quickly, so he said without any intention of trying to keep her.

"My dear sister, please go."
