Thanks to Lin Dafu's careful arrangements, Li Chengqian's team arrived at this famous secluded garden smoothly.

The location of this secluded courtyard is perfect, right in the heart of Xianyang City, and its distance from the Qianyu Chamber of Commerce and the Tang Dynasty Meritorious Officials Sanatorium is just right.

It is neither too close to be noisy nor too far away to be inconvenient, making it a unique palace.

When Lin Dafu decided to build this secluded garden, he put all his heart and soul into it, spent a lot of money without hesitation, and invested an immeasurable huge price.

After all, since this palace is named "Youting", it must fully display the artistic conception of winding paths leading to secluded places.

Therefore, Lin Dafu spared no effort in spending a lot of manpower and material resources, and sent many skilled craftsmen to every corner of the Tang Dynasty to carefully select and transplant a wide variety of precious trees and flowers.

The pines and cypresses that stand proudly in the snow and frost, and the gorgeous peonies.

The fresh and elegant orchid and the gorgeous and colorful crabapple.

……

Everything that the Tang Dynasty has is gathered here.

They are intertwined in the quiet courtyard and grow in a staggered manner, making this world wrapped in everlasting green all year round. Whenever you step in, you can feel the vigorous vitality coming towards you.

There is no need to think about the treasures inside, as the noble families have plenty of them.

Among these numerous treasures, the most eye-catching and treasure that can be called the treasure of the court is the dark wood Pixiu flower table that was confiscated from the Cui family.

This sunken wood is extremely precious. Its texture is as hard as iron, and its grain is delicate and unique. After years of precipitation and baptism, it looks even more ancient and heavy.

The Pixiu pattern carved on it is even more ingenious. The Pixiu looks majestic and domineering, with eyes wide open and roaring to the sky.

There are some floral patterns all around, the petals are tender and the stamens are lifelike, which contrasts with the fierceness of the Pixiu, combining hardness and softness, and is magnificent.

This floral table was placed solemnly at the entrance of the secluded courtyard.

Anyone who steps into the secluded courtyard will be involuntarily attracted to it at first sight.

Only then can one be worthy of Your Majesty!

In front of the Youting Courtyard, Li Chengqian moved gracefully and easily, rolled off his horse and landed steadily on the ground.

He raised his head slightly, his eyes slowly sweeping over the palace that Lin Dafu had carefully built for him, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

He turned his head to look at Lin Dafu beside him, his eyes full of inquiry, and asked softly, "Such a grand occasion, such luxury, the expenses must be like running water, it must be quite a lot, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Dafu hurriedly shook his head humbly, his face filled with loyalty as he responded sincerely, "Your Majesty, this is all due service to Your Majesty. All our efforts are justified in order for Your Majesty to have a comfortable and cozy resting place that reflects the majesty of the royal family. I dare not complain or complain."

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said in a gentle tone: "Thank you for your hard work!"

When Lin Dafu heard these caring words, he finally smiled with relief.

Li Chengqian then turned his gaze to Zhang Xianhuai and Qin Ruzhao behind him.

These two people are in their prime years, full of vigor and vitality.

Li Chengqian smiled and said to them, "You should all go home and let your neighbors see your homes. There's a saying that goes, 'If you don't return home after achieving success, it's like walking in brocade clothes at night.'"

"Now that you have served the Tang Dynasty with honor and merit, it is time to return home and share this joy with your families."

Zhang Xianhuai was immediately excited when he heard this. He saluted with joy and said in a loud voice, "Yes! Your Majesty!"

Qin Ruzhao frowned slightly, his expression showing a hint of hesitation. He pursed his lips, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should speak or not.

Li Chengqian noticed his strangeness, looked at him, and said earnestly: "Go back and see your family."

"A real man should be responsible and take responsibility for his actions."

"If you are too ashamed to face the families of your former comrades, then you muster up the courage to make amends to them."

"You now represent my reputation, so you must understand your responsibilities."

After hearing Li Chengqian's teachings, Qin Ruzhao took a deep breath, straightened his back, and said loudly, "I understand!"

Li Chengqian nodded.

At this time, Su Zhi was standing aside, her face full of surprise.

Xiao Taohong carefully supported her and walked over slowly.

Su Zhi saw her parents at once, and her excitement was beyond words. She couldn't help but shout out, "Aye! A'mother! Why are you all here too?"

Little Taohong also followed Su Zhi obediently, calling softly, "Master, Madam!"

Su Tan stroked his beard lovingly and said slowly, "Zhi'er, it was His Majesty who knew you were pregnant and specially granted us, the old couple, permission to come and accompany you."

When Su Zhi heard this, her heart was filled with gratitude. She quickly turned around and looked at Li Chengqian with deep affection in her eyes.

Chen Ruoyun walked quickly to Su Zhi with a distressed look on her face, tightly holding her slightly cold little hand, and asked with concern: "Zhi'er, how are you doing in the palace?"

Su Zhi's face lit up with a warm smile. She held Chen Ruoyun's hand with her backhand and said gently, "Mother, life in the palace is very good. It's very leisurely and comfortable. Besides, there aren't many people in the palace, and there aren't so many complicated twists and turns."

"Your Majesty has taken great care of me. You and Aye don't need to worry about your daughter. Just take good care of yourselves."

After hearing Su Zhi's description, Chen Ruoyun felt relieved and a little relieved.

Su Zhi was about to chat with her family for a few more words, but suddenly she heard her father and mother shouting "Your Majesty" in unison.

She was startled and quickly turned her head to look, only to find that Li Chengqian had quietly come behind her without her knowing.

Su Zhi was deeply moved, her eyes slightly reddened, and she looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Majesty, I am sorry to have troubled you so much."

Li Chengqian shook his head gently, took a step forward, and gently and carefully tightened Su Zhi's cloak. He said softly, "No need to be so polite. We are all family. There is no need to be so polite."

Su Tan and Chen Ruoyun hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Chengqian sighed slightly and said with some guilt, "I am sorry for you."

"It's freezing outside, and you're pregnant, so don't catch a cold."

"If you have anything to say, I'll go home, make a pot of hot tea, and then we can sit at home and chat leisurely."

"This garden is beautiful, and since you love flowers and plants, you might as well come and stroll around in your free time."

"I have prepared brush and ink for you. If you feel like painting, you can paint to relieve your boredom."
