At the Wei Manor.
Empress Zhangsun had brought Little Si along.
This little girl was only four years old. No matter where Empress Zhangsun went, she would bring her along.
How could the guards outside the manor dare to stop Empress Zhangsun when they saw her?
First, he respectfully invited Empress Zhangsun in, and then he quickly found the steward of the prince's residence.
"Empress, you're here."
The butler bowed slightly to Empress Zhangsun.
Empress Zhangsun frowned slightly.
This person…She was a little unfamiliar with him.
Originally, all the servants in the Prince's mansion were sent by the palace. If she remembered correctly, the steward of the Prince's mansion should be a eunuch.
However, he did not expect to turn into an old man, and an old man wearing a Daoist robe.
However, this Daoist robe was very plain and was a little white. It was obvious that it had been worn for a long time.
It seemed that the Wei Manor was extremely frugal.
Empress Zhangsun was very satisfied with this.
"Old butler, where is the King of Wei?" Empress Zhangsun asked.
The old butler smiled and shook his head. Facing Empress Zhangsun, he said in a relaxed manner,""Empress niangniang, gongzi has long expected niangniang to come and find him to denounce.”
"That's why I left the mansion early to play. As for where I went, I don't know.”
Empress Zhangsun was speechless.
"This brat!"
"Not doing anything serious."
"Your thoughts are all used to deal with bengong and His Majesty.”
She was so angry that she laughed.
However, she also felt lucky that His Majesty did not follow her.
Otherwise, he would really be angered to death by this brat.
He didn't expect this brat to be so mischievous. He didn't put any effort into his homework.
If he could put away his thoughts and study hard, he would definitely become a great master in the future and be of great help to the Great Tang.
"Empress, if there's nothing else, you can go back first.”
"When Young Master returns, I will have someone inform the palace.”
The old butler said calmly.
Empress Zhangsun's eyes flickered.
She could not help but size up the old butler again.
To be honest, there were only a few people in the world who dared to send him off so openly even though they knew his identity.
"BenGong is following His Majesty's orders to summon the King of Wei into the palace.”
"We can't just go back empty-handed.”
"Since the old housekeeper doesn't say, then bengong can only look for it herself.”
"Who knows, the King of Wei might be hiding in the mansion. Isn't that right?"
"Hehehe…"
Empress Zhangsun pulled the little rhinoceros and smiled lightly as she passed by the old butler.
Left with no choice, the old butler could only follow Empress Zhangsun.
After all, he was only the butler of the Prince's mansion. This was the Empress of the Tang Empire and the mother of the King of Wei. It was only right for her to visit the Prince's mansion.
He couldn't just let them chase him out.
"This…"
"Why is the layout of the Wei Estate so fresh and refined?”
Empress Zhangsun had only taken a few steps in when she sensed that something was wrong.
This was the Imperial Residence.
Which ordinary Imperial Residence wasn't built in a grand and magnificent manner?
However, the layout here was too strange.
Moreover, she had been here before, but the current situation was a little too different from the past.
The previously spacious courtyard was gone, replaced by a very narrow passageway. The two sides were either blocked by walls or by lush flowers that were as tall as a person.
His line of sight was too obstructed.
It was like a maze.
The little rhinoceros let go of Empress Zhangsun's hand and ran around happily, having a great time.
"Empress, the Prince of Wei planned everything in the mansion.”
"These winding corridors, these bamboo forests, flowers, and plants, when combined, if you look down from a high place, it actually looks like the word 'Wei'.”
The old butler explained with a smile.
When Empress Zhangsun heard this, she was also shocked.
The word " Wei " was so complicated. If the layout of the courtyard was changed to this word, then it would really be a stroke of genius.
Empress Zhangsun could not help but be deeply impressed by Li Tai's thoughts.
Such a design had far surpassed those so-called craftsmen in the Ministry of Works.
Even if Lu Ban was still alive, he probably wouldn't have thought of this.
··········
However, what Empress Zhangsun didn't know was that Li Tai's design was so complicated that it obviously wasn't to deliberately piece together the word 'Wei'.
It was to hide his private money.
That's right, it was private money.
Li Tai was a transmigrator. When he came to the Great Tang four years ago, he was bound to the " Private Money Enhancement System."
As the name implied, as long as Li Tai hid his private stash well and was not discovered by Empress Zhangsun or Li Shimin, it would start rolling more and more. At a certain point, Li Tai would also be rewarded with a chance to draw.
In order to make better use of the system, Li Tai naturally had to renovate the Imperial Residence.
After all, the Imperial Residence was his territory, and a lot of his private money had to be hidden here.
·············
"This child's brain is really not used on the right path.”
A smile appeared on Empress Zhangsun's face.
No matter what, such a design already showed that Li Tai's wisdom was extraordinary. However, this child was too naughty.
This was the time to study.
Sigh…
Empress Zhangsun could not help but sigh again.
"Little rhinoceros, aiya! Walk slowly."
"Don't run around blindly, mother can't even see you.”
Suddenly, Empress Zhangsun realized that she couldn't see the little rhinoceros. Her heart tightened and she shouted.
" Hehehe..."
"Mother, quickly come and find me."
"I'm here, I'm here."
"Hehehe…Brother Wei's mansion is so fun, Little Si likes it so much.”
Little Si's excited voice rang out.
Hearing this, Empress Zhangsun heaved a sigh of relief.
"Is that so? Then don't move, little rhinoceros. Let's see if mother can find you.”
"Don't move, don't move.”
Empress Zhangsun lifted the hem of her dress and walked toward the voice.
The old butler followed behind, feeling a little helpless.
Before Li Tai left, he had told him not to let anyone else enter the depths of the Imperial Residence.
As Li Tai's butler, he knew that there was a different world in the Imperial Residence.
However, Empress Zhangsun and Princess Jin Yang were not people he could chase away.
Empress Zhangsun was about to faint.
The little rhino's voice was clearly in front of her, but she walked quickly for a while before she saw the little rhino.
"Phew…"
"This brat, how did he set this up?”
"Even without guards, outsiders can't enter this place.”
Empress Zhangsun was truly speechless.
It was even tighter than the imperial palace.
"Mother is so stupid. Little Si has been waiting for a long time.”
"Hehehe…"
The little rhinoceros was sitting on a fake mountain, shaking its legs and making faces at Empress Zhangsun.
"Mother, hug."
The next moment, the little rhinoceros jumped down and pounced on Empress Zhangsun.
However, just as the little rhinoceros landed on the ground.
Rumble…
The fake mountain behind the little rhino started to move.
The little rhinoceros stepped on a stone slab and was dumbfounded.
