Chapter 699 Delicious but Dumplings

Winter Solstice wontons and summer solstice noodles are delicious but dumplings.

The fifth day of November, the winter solstice.

The winter solstice is here. Northerners are used to calling wontons and dumplings, while southerners eat more dumplings. In the past, every household in the north, regardless of whether their life is good or bad, would make wonton dumplings on this day, and they would buy some mutton and pork to celebrate the hearty Winter Solstice Festival.

In the Tang Dynasty, the winter solstice was a very important festival.

On this day, before dawn, the emperor would wear an extremely grand twelve crowns and go out to the southern suburbs of the palace to worship the sky. After dawn, he would change the more grand but unruly fur crowns of fur. After the ceremony, he would change the crown and crimson robe to return to the palace to receive the grand winter solstice congratulations and the subsequent banquet, which is the legendary grand dynasty meeting.

Sacrifice to the sky, the dynasty meeting, and then the officials congratulate. After the court disperses, the officials worship each other on the Winter Solstice, and the court has to hold a short holiday.

This festival is very grand. Seeing that the prince's recovery is getting better and better these days, Li Shimin was relieved to see that the prince was recovering better and better these days, so he returned to Xiangyang a few days before the winter solstice to preside over the winter solstice sacrifices and the grand dynasty meeting, and the queen followed him.

Before leaving, the queen summoned Li Chao for an interview.

Li Chao stayed in Wudang Mountain to take care of the prince. During this conversation, the queen personally spoke out that she wanted to invest in the Li family's sugar industry in Lingnan in the name of Prince Chengqian, and asked for 30% of the shares.

Li Chao did not agree.

He proposed to open four and six, and the prince six and he four.

The queen did not agree and finally reached an agreement. The sixth prince and fourth prince of the Li family did not say much about the specifics. Some things are like this. Just make the general direction. In terms of details, no one will take advantage of loopholes. This does not exist.

Li Chao doesn't care about the money industry, anyway, it's for the prince, and that's his son-in-law and student.

When Li Shimin and his wife left, Li Chao simply asked someone to carry the prince to Wudang Mountain.

At this time, Wushan Mountain was not as famous as later generations. Some Taoist temples on the mountain also had Buddhist temples, but they were not that big. Under the rectification of the court, there were only one Taoist temple and a temple at the foot of the mountain, each with only ten people.

However, there were some villas and villas on the mountain, and Li Chao directly bought one of the largest manors.

The emperor left a thousand guards to Li Chao. In Junzhou, there were a thousand guards, so there was no need to worry about safety issues. The emperor and the prime ministers left, Li Chao had the final say on the mountain, and Princess Pingyang also stayed, and Zhang Zhongjian was also there, and he had to heal the prince's injured leg.

The atmosphere was much more relaxed than before. When the emperor was there, everyone was so generous that they dared not speak out.

Now, the prince's injured leg is indeed getting better day by day, without any infection or other complications, with splints on his legs. Although the prince is inconvenient to move, he has a wheelchair and wheelbed, and he can often come out to bask in the sun, chat with everyone and even watch everyone play polo, etc.

It’s winter solstice, early in the morning.

Li Chao brought Pingyang and a group of military officers to congratulate Chengqian.

Originally, the prince had to participate in the winter solstice and the Great Dynasty, but this year he could not participate in the winter solstice.

The prince changed into a grand prince's dress, sat on the large nursing gurney, and accepted congratulations from Li Chao and the officials.

"reward!"

The prince sat half-sitted and leaned on him, and his body was covered with a brocade quilt, but his face was filled with a smile.

The rewards received by Li Chao and other high-ranking officials were carved out by the prince himself.

One person, one.
