Three days later, at noon

royal palace

"minister!"

"My son!"

"Meet your Majesty, Father!!"

Above the main hall, Li Shimin sat on the throne, looking at the two people kneeling below, his expression did not change, he nodded lightly and said:

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Father/Your Majesty."

Li You and Li Zhi stood up at the same time.

"Father, is there something wrong?" Li You asked first.

"Indeed!" Li Shimin replied:

"According to the report from the Procuratorate, there is a temple outside Chang'an. All the ministers of the former Sui Dynasty live in it, and there are rumors that there are treasures of the former Sui Dynasty in it. You two go and investigate whether this is true."

"If it is true, then find a way to get those treasures back."

"My son, I obey!"

"I obey the decree!"

afternoon

Shangguan family

"How did you come?"

When Shangguan Zisu saw Li You coming to see him, he walked up to him with a smile.

Li You smiled softly and said:

"Li Zhi and I plan to go for a walk in the outskirts of the city tomorrow. Why don't you go with us?"

"Going to the outskirts of the city?" Shangguan Zisu said with a confused look on his face:

"It's too far! It takes a long time to walk!"

"Oh, let's go shopping!" Li You took a step back and looked Shangguan Zisu up and down.

"You stay at home every day, and the farthest place you have been to is the official road in the south of the city when we went last time."

"If you continue like this, you will gain weight sooner or later. Let's go for a good walk tomorrow to lose weight!"

"What?" Shangguan Zisu was a little unhappy, glared at Li You and said:

"Are you thinking I'm fat now? How dare you?"

"No, no!" Li You shook his head and said, "Let's go out to play together tomorrow. Li Zhi will have to call Satsuma and the others later. We haven't gone out to play for so long. It would be good to go out more."

"How boring it is to just stay at home!"

"If you don't go, I will ask them to go to a brothel together tomorrow."

"Oh." Shangguan Zisu said nonchalantly:

"If you want to go, just go!"

"Huh? Then I will go to the Department of Education and Visiting tomorrow night, do you believe it or not?" Li You raised his eyebrows slightly, pretending to be weird.

Going to a brothel is already the limit that Shangguan Zisu can tolerate, but he still dares to mention going to Jiaofangsi?

"You!!! No!"

Shangguan Zisu put his hands on his waist and shouted angrily:

"How dare you go to such a dirty place? You are the prince!!!"

In fact, many of the women in brothels are prostitutes who are not prostitutes, and a very small number are prostitutes who are both prostitutes.

You can usually watch dancing, singing, etc. there. If you get high, you can write a poem that will be famous throughout the ages.

Many literati like to go there, and they think it is very elegant.

But things are different in the Jiaofang Secretary. Once the women inside there get in, it will be difficult to get out.

It's nothing more than being attracted by that kind of dignitaries and asking them to find ways to fish him out.

Therefore, they usually use all means and various methods to satisfy the hobbies of those high-ranking officials.

Although it is to seek a chance for survival, it is indeed a bit too dirty relatively speaking.

They want to seek a slim chance of survival and deserve respect, so if they use dirty methods, then it is dirty and cannot be changed.

"Don't let someone be unwilling to accompany me for an outing tomorrow? I have no choice." Li You said this, turned around and planned to leave.

"Stop!!!"

Shangguan Zisu lifted up her skirt and quickly ran in front of Li You, blocking his way.

"I'll go with you tomorrow, but I'm warning you!"

"If you ever think about going to that place again, I will never forgive you."

"That's right!" Li You reached out and gently rubbed the back of her head, saying in a gentle tone:

"How's it going? Do you want to go eat something? The peach blossoms have been blooming in the past two days. Si Niang and the others have researched a peach blossom cake. I heard it is very sweet and delicious. Why don't you go and try it?"

"Hmph! You're in for a treat!" Shangguan Zisu put his hands behind his back, pretending to be mature, and walked forward.

But at this moment, the corners of her mouth were raised, and she was obviously snickering.

Li You followed her silently, and the two of them walked on the streets of Chang'an, heading towards Fanshe.

Fanshe

It was already past noon, and there were far fewer people dining in Fanshe. Except for a few businessmen who came here to drink tea, there were basically no people on the second and third floors.

Li You and Shangguan Zisu walked in together. Instead of going to the third floor where Li You usually stayed, they went directly to where Li Zhi and the others usually ate.

Sure enough, at this time Li Zhi, Tan Shuangye, Samodoro, Huang Sanpao and Si Niang were all sitting here chatting.

As soon as Li You and Shangguan Zisu came in, Tan Shuangye waved with a smile on his face.

Huang Sanpao stood up quickly and saluted Li You.

Li You nodded and waved for him to sit down.

Shangguan Zisu came and sat down next to Tan Shuangye, and Li You sat next to Samodoro and opposite Li Zhi.

"Siniang! Where are the peach blossom cakes I ordered from you? Bring some for everyone to eat!" Li You said to Siniang.

"Okay! Let you have a taste." Siniang smiled and stood up unsteadily. Her excellent figure looked outstanding even through her skirt.

It has to be said that for a woman like Siniang who has been in the underworld and knows that people's hearts are sinister, but has returned to the right path again, the most important thing is that she is a little older. The combination of these aspects is indeed extraordinary.

But it's a pity that Li You likes simple and elegant people. He can't grasp this kind of thing, so let's leave it to Li Zhi!

When Li Zhi saw this scene, he picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip.

No one else knows what you are thinking in your heart.

Not long after, Si Niang came back with two plates of pink shortcakes.

“Come and taste it!”

She put down the snacks, shook the embroidered fan in her hand, returned to her original position and sat down.

There were about sixteen pieces of pastry on the two plates, and there were only seven people present, so everyone got a piece.

Shangguan Zisu took a gentle bite, and his whole body suddenly became excited. He opened his eyes wide, smiled innocently, and said:

"Afu's craftsmanship is really getting better and better. This pastry is simply indescribable."

Li You also felt particularly in agreement and nodded.

It was forbidden to eat beef in the Tang Dynasty, and there was no seasoning. The reason why fine salt is widely distributed now is because Li You pretended to be messy when he was a child and came up with this thing.

The main reason is that if they don't pretend randomly, Li Shimin and the others will feel very strange, and Li Chengqian and the others will also be uneasy about such a smart brother.

In fact, mainly due to this credit, Li You now has the title of prince, not the two-character title of county prince. (This has been changed. In the ancient Tang Dynasty, the son of the emperor was a prince, and the person who succeeded the prince was the heir. Others
