In early spring, Chang'an was still very cold in the evening. When Li Chengqian and Qin Qiong arrived at the Royal Academy of Sciences, Li Chengqian found a coat from the carriage and put it on for Qin Qiong, and then walked off the carriage.

After getting off the carriage, Mo Cheng had already stood outside with a group of Mo family children to welcome Li Chengqian's bring.

"Old Mo, it's so cold that night. Why are you still coming out? Let's go in, why are you going in quickly? Uncle Qin, please hurry up." After saying that, Li Chengqian helped Mo Cheng walk towards his residence, and nodded to Sun Lou and others who came over.

Seeing Li Chengqian holding Mo Cheng so naturally and chatting with him from time to time, Qin Qiong was a little stunned. He felt that Li Chengqian was too approachable, and sighed and hurriedly followed him in.

However, when Li Chengqian was in Mo Cheng's room and asked about the situation of the Academy of Sciences, Qin Qiong saw Li Chengqian hear Sun Lou, who was not much older than him, saying that when the furniture workshop used a large amount of precious wood to create furniture for the Military Academy, Li Chengqian pointed at Sun Lou and started cursing.

"Sun Lou, you have a lot of water in your mind. Do you use those precious woods to create furniture for the Military Academy? If you change it for me, you will all change it to a hard and wear-resistant one. Remember, it is a military Academy. Whether it is a student or an instructor, you must treat it equally and not be special. If the King of Shu asks, he will say it is what I said, and he will know how to mess around every day. Why are you still standing here? Get out of here." After scolding Li Chengqian drove Sun Lou out.

Afterwards, Li Chengqian and Mo Cheng and a group of Mo family members who could build and calculate the Mo family, told me what he had discussed with Qin Qiong before, and then they started discussing it there. During this period, they also asked a lot of things about Qin Qiong's requirements for city defense.

After the discussion was almost over, Li Chengqian told them to do a good job, Li Chengqian and Qin Qiong had a meal at Mo Cheng and left the Academy of Sciences.

"Your Highness, you have found such a group of talents from there. No one of the old ministers can understand any of the professional questions. You can still discuss with them." When he left, Qin Qiong asked Li Chengqian the question in his heart.

"They were all found by themselves, but they are really talented. Uncle Qin, you rarely go out, so you don't know them. Just the one I scolded when we first arrived, his woodworking skills are no exaggeration to say that he is the number one in the Tang Dynasty, and he can also improve the straight plow alone. That is really a talent. As for me to discuss with us, I have a lot of ideas. If I really compare ten with them, I am not the opponent of them," Li Chengqian said to Qin Qiong with a smile.

"Your Highness, you are so humble. But listening to your conversation today really opened my eyes to the old minister. It turns out that there is so much knowledge in the world, and they are really talented as Your Highness said." Qin Qiong looked at Li Chengqian and said with emotion.

"Yes, they are all great talents, but when they came to Chang'an, their lives were really not very good. They were obviously talented, because they were all children of the Mo family and had no way out." Li Chengqian said, remembering the way Mo Tong and the others first came to Chang'an.

After that, Li Chengqian and Qin Qiong chatted again. It was not until the carriage arrived at the Duke of Yiguo's Mansion that the two stopped. Li Chengqian personally helped Qin Qiong off the carriage and sent it into the door before saying goodbye to Qin Qiong.

"This prince is really a phoenix among people. If you don't have contact with him, who knows that he is so knowledgeable and capable of literature and martial arts. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be more prosperous under his rule." Looking at the carriage where Li Chengqian left, Qin Qiong thought to himself.

At this time, Li Chengqian didn't know what Qin Qiong said about him, but was thinking about how to improve the Royal Military Academy, and at the same time thinking about him going to visit the generals.

In fact, in his heart, the one he wanted to get to the Royal Military Academy the most was Li Jing, the military god Li Jing who used wars like a god. It’s a pity that he is not in Chang'an now, otherwise Li Chengqian would have liked to visit him.

As I thought about it, the carriage drove to the East Palace. At this time, the lights of the East Palace were already on. Although it was already night, there was a lot of joy in the theater.

This is all thanks to the operas and songs produced by Li Chengqian. Now, in the entire palace, concubines and princesses of all sizes will go there every day if they have nothing to do, especially in the evening, even their father and grandfather will go there.

Looking at the lively look over there, Li Chengqian shook his head and did not go over, but headed towards his bedroom.

When they arrived at the bedroom, Li Chengqian saw that it was light inside and walked in. Seeing Xia Ju and the other three sitting there with something sewn against the lights. Seeing that Li Chengqian came in, they all started to hurry up, and then took off his coat, fetched him water, and served him with shoes.

"Why haven't you been to the theater? How many times have you said, don't sew things tonight, it hurts your eyes like that." Li Chengqian soaked his feet, then looked at Xia Ju and the others and cared about it.

"We have listened to those operas many times and have heard them all, so we sisters didn't go, and you need someone to serve you when you come back, right?" Mei Ying knelt behind Li Chengqian while pinching his shoulders and saying to him.

"Serve, aren't there any palace maids? You can use it every day, but those operas are a little less. It seems that you should have made more, otherwise you will have nothing to do every day. But when it comes to relieving your boredom, I really have a way to help you get it. Yan'er, go and get some thicker and harder paper. Xia Ju, please bring my paint and pen. I'll give you something fun tonight." As he said that, Li Chengqian asked Xia Ju and Yang Yan'er to find something. He took out his feet without wiping water, and sat next to the seat in his shoes.

That's right, Li Chengqian thought of poker, but when Xia Ju and the others were taking things, he was really in trouble. How to design the jqk, a and big kings, it would definitely not be possible to copy it.

Finally, Li Chengqian thought for a long time, and the letters of jqka remained unchanged, but the pattern changed. J turned into a fox, q turned into a leopard, k became a bear, a was a tiger, and big and small kings were dragons.

After the decision, Li Chengqian picked up the paint, paper and pen that Xia Ju and the others had found and started drawing it.

This took Li Chengqian almost an hour, but it was when Li Chengqian taught Xia Ju and the others to get 2 to 10.

In the end, a pair of playing cards in the Tang Dynasty was completed with the joint efforts of Li Chengqian and his wife.

Looking at this handmade playing cards, Li Chengqian couldn't wait to pull Xia Ju and the others on the bed.

"Come on, come on, come on, play cards are ready. Now my husband teaches you how to play," Li Chengqian said excitedly to Xia Ju and the others.
