The Seventh Prince also stood up.
"Thank you, sir."
"..."
"..."
it is more than words.
Chu Zhongtian is a scholar from a Confucian family. He is upright. Perhaps because he has been an official for a long time, he looks a bit smooth and mercenary, but in fact, he is round on the outside but square on the inside.
Once this kind of person decides who to bet on, he will never leave the gambling table easily.
He walked to the door and turned back.
"Your Highness, what do you think of the autumn hunt?"
The Seventh Prince thought for a moment and replied, "What you can't get on the battlefield, you can never get at the negotiation table. The Autumn Hunt is actually a kind of reduced intensity struggle between the human race and the demon race after they are tired of the formal war."
Chu Zhongtian's eyes lit up.
"Great! What you can't get on the battlefield, you can never get at the negotiation table! Your Highness is worthy of having led troops in Bozhou. You actually have such profound insights."
The Seventh Prince: ￣□￣｜｜
This statement was indeed made in Bozhou, but it was Li Qingcha who said it.
I didn't expect that I had fooled Chu Anyun with my talent, and now I'm fooling Chu Zhongtian.
This father and daughter are unique.
The Seventh Prince thought that he couldn't fool two people at once, so he explained: "That sentence was said by Li Qingcha, I was just quoting."
Chu Zhongtian: "..."
"..."
"..."
silence.
The atmosphere became extremely weird.
Chu Zhongtian coughed.
"Your Highness... um... Li Qingcha is right. So, since it is still a 'war', the Autumn Hunt, especially the Autumn Hunt that Your Highness is in charge of this time, must not lose!"
The Seventh Prince felt the burden on his shoulders suddenly become heavier.
The most troublesome thing is that the items in the autumn hunting competition are different every year.
Sometimes it’s a group fight;
Sometimes it’s a one-on-one fight;
Sometimes it's really just hunting, to see which side catches more prey;
……
I wonder what weird things the demons will do this year.
The Seventh Prince said, "I will do my best."
I have already made up my mind. If it doesn't work, I will let Li Qingcha go on stage personally.
Brother~
Isn't it just used to blame each other?!
Chapter 416 Senior sister has come out of seclusion!
Li Qingcha went to the Ministry of Rites to report for duty.
Luo Weiyang followed beside them holding Xiao Hui.
Although they said they were checking in, they actually didn't arrive at the hour of Mao. When they arrived at Liubukou, the sun was already high in the sky.
Xiao Hui lay in Luo Weiyang's arms, his cat eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Meow~"
The cry was particularly lazy.
Luo Weiyang touched Xiao Hui's head.
"Eat dried fish?"
Xiao Hui: “Meow~”
"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you. But first, I have to tell you that you are not allowed to get close to Brother Li anymore."
"Meow!"
Xiao Hui avoided the girl's feeding.
Luo Weiyang: ￣□￣｜｜
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from not far away.
The two looked up and saw N carriages returning from the imperial city.
Luo Weiyang touched Li Qingcha's arm and whispered, "You're right, the court will end later than usual today."
Li Qingcha pondered.
"But it's too late... Hmm... I guess they were discussing the autumn hunt."
While chatting, they walked towards the Ministry of Rites.
At this time, Shangshu Tao Ying happened to get off the carriage. Seeing Li Qingcha, he immediately came forward and told him roughly what happened in the morning court.
As expected, the Crown Prince's house arrest and the reduction of expenses in Kunning Palace made all the civil and military officials in the court and the emperor very unhappy, but because the Ministry of Rites and the Cabinet, the backbone of the government, remained restrained, neither side got entangled.
Tao Ying couldn't help but be curious.
"Master Li, why did the emperor do this?"
Li Qingcha was silent.
There was no way she could explain this.
Tao should have known this earlier.
"Master Li, don't be embarrassed. I just asked casually. By the way, we talked a lot about the autumn hunt today. I guess an imperial decree will be issued soon. You are the head of the reception department, so you should make preparations early."
Li Qingcha bowed,
"Then... then can I not come to work?"
"..."
"..."
The two stared at each other.
Tao Ying stared at Li Qingcha for no other reason than to see why there were such lazy people in the world.
As a result, Li Qingcha didn't feel guilty at all and didn't even blink.
Tao Ying had no choice but to
"Master Li, please do as you see fit."
"Thank you, Master Tao."
After saying that, Li Qingcha turned around, nodded to Luo Weiyang and said, "Let's go."
Really leaving...
Tao Ying had no choice but to turn a blind eye and enter the Ministry of Rites.
puff~
Luo Weiyang chuckled.
"You are such a jerk... How can you be an official like this? Aren't you afraid of being impeached?"
There would certainly be many memorials impeaching Li Qingcha, but the words would not be very harsh. At most, they would ask the emperor to reprimand him or fine him his salary.
The emperor would definitely not bother to deal with such matters.
The two of them boarded the carriage back to the Imperial Observatory.
Li Qingcha said: "We should focus on autumn hunting~"
Luo Weiyang didn't believe her.
"I think you just want to be lazy. But you really are very good at predicting things. You even guessed that the officials would discuss the prince's affairs today."
"Yeah, normal."
"(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~ I told you you're fat and you're out of breath."
The girl rolled her eyes cutely, then raised the right front table of Xiao Hui and made a gesture towards Li Qingcha as if she wanted to grab his head.
Afterwards, she asked, "Why did the Crown Prince attack the Seventh Prince?"
Li Qingcha corrected,
"It may not be the prince's doing~"
"Um... well, let me ask it another way. Why did the relationship between the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Seventh Prince deteriorate?"
“Well, just think of this as a structural contradiction.”
"???"
Luo Weiyang was puzzled.
She understands the contradiction, but doesn’t understand when the word “structural” is added.
Li Qingcha touched her little head and said, "I'll give you an example and you'll understand... um..."
She was halfway through her words when she noticed Xiao Hui approaching her.
Luo Weiyang muttered: "The little guy also wants you to touch him."
Li Qingcha then reached out his hand and touched Xiao Hui's head.
Xiao Hui purred comfortably.
Luo Weiyang said: "Okay, let's continue with your previous example."
Li Qingcha nodded.
"Remember the Qianjing white silk, a specialty of Bozhou? It's the kind of silk that the Seventh Prince used to make people press their bloody handprints. It's very expensive."
"of course I remember."
"Qianjing white silk is in high demand but has no price. Many wealthy merchants and aristocratic families have tried to buy it with huge sums of money but failed. On the other hand, other silks produced in Bozhou are priced lower but have very poor sales. They have to bear higher transportation costs to sell them in other places. This imbalance between supply and demand is a structural contradiction."
Luo Weiyang: ???
Still don't understand.
Li Qingcha said helplessly: "A thing is made up of multiple parts, and some of these parts are in competition or contradiction. Is it difficult to understand?"
Luo Weiyang rolled her eyes.
"Then why didn't you say so earlier? It would have been better if you didn't give me an example."
Xiao Hui: “Meow~”
Li Qingcha was unhappy and flicked the cat's head.
"Why are you joining in the fun?"
Xiao Hui: “Meow?”
Li Qingcha sighed speechlessly.
"Ugh……"
Luo Weiyang said, "To put it bluntly, the Seventh Prince's status has risen, and the Crown Prince feels threatened~"
Li Qingcha shook his head.
