On the way back, Dai Ting remained silent as usual. When Li Yuanying was young, he liked to talk to people the most, but Dai Ting, who stayed by his side the longest, was a dull gourd, and he would never say anything unless necessary, and he was rarely quiet along the way.
After walking for a while, Li Yuanying said to Dai Ting: "Next time something like this happens again, we still won't investigate it ourselves." His Majesty Li Er just didn't want them to get involved, if there is any problem, just do it a little bit Obligation to find a way to remind others.
Dai Ting nodded.
He didn't intend to investigate deeply at first, but he bumped into it by accident, so he investigated a little bit, but he didn't expect that Zhang Liang didn't hide his behavior at all, so he investigated the bottom of the sky casually. If it wasn't too hot to hold the evidence, he wouldn't be in a hurry to go back to Beijing to find Li Yuanying. If it is found but not reported, it may be punished as the same crime in the future.
Now that Li Yuanying directly handed over the evidence to His Majesty Li Er, it should be all right.
Having said that, Dai Ting still couldn't help but think of the way His Majesty Li Er looked at him. His status was low, and he had always bowed his head and stood quietly, but his natural sensitivity and vigilance still allowed him to catch the hidden danger at that moment.
When he left the meeting hall, his back was covered with cold sweat.
Dai Ting looked at Li Yuanying who stopped by the lotus pond.
Can Li Yuanying feel it too
After Li Yuanying ordered Dai Ting, he didn't think about it any more. It's not good to think too clearly about some things. Standing in the lotus pond, he looked at the dry lotus leaves for a while, and when he saw many servants and palace people passing by, he stopped them and waved to them, and said enthusiastically, "Do you know how to dig lotus roots? I want to try it." If any of you can help me dig this lotus root, I will reward you with a handful of golden beans!"
Everyone came to admire the lotus in the Forbidden Garden, and they had never heard of digging lotus roots. When they heard Li Yuanying's bold idea, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. The servant didn't stand up, but two little maids volunteered: "We are the best at digging lotus roots at home!" These two little maids look similar, they look like twins, they are very clever and cute.
Li Yuanying was even more playful: "Then help me dig!"
The two little maids were not shy either, they jumped down from the shallow lotus pond in full view, and touched several lotus roots neatly. After all, it is a lotus flower for ornamental purposes. The lotus root is not very big, and it is not very sweet to look at. Li Yuanying was a little disappointed, but he still kept his promise and rewarded each of them with a handful of golden beans. He also asked them where they got them from and whether they had grown lotus root at home, mainly asking whether their lotus root was delicious!
The two little maids are from the water town, they have been splashing in the water since they were young, they were selected into the palace because of their innocence, but because of their humble background, they had no chance to show their faces and win awards. Just answer whatever. They came from Baoying, Yangzhou. Baoying's lotus root is the best. It is fresh and sweet when eaten raw, and it is also good for cooking and soup.
Li Yuanying was fascinated when he heard it, but seeing the two little maids in the water, it was not good to be wearing wet clothes all the time, so he told them to disperse, and led Dai Ting back to ask Liu Baolin to make cold lotus root slices for him to eat!
Liu Baolin was quite happy when he heard that Li Yuanying had returned to the palace. When he saw Dai Ting coming back with a few unattractive lotus roots, he asked where he got them from, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a while. She said: "If you want to eat lotus root, can't you ask someone to get it? It's the season of autumn lotus root, where can't you get it?"
Li Yuanying plausibly said: "I see it blooming every summer. It's a pity not to know what it smells like!"
Liu Baolin couldn't say no to him, and he was glad that he came back, so he took the lotus root and went to help Li Yuanying cook.
Li Yuanying took the lotus root by hand, and someone spread the matter later. Li Yuanying was a boy who spread money since he was a child, and he asked someone to make a pile of golden beans to take with him, and he would reward someone to play with him.
In the past, no one paid attention to Li Yuanying's nonsense. After all, he is a little prince who has nothing to do with the court. Who cares how he spends his own money and love
It's different now, now His Majesty Li Er has the faint intention of cultivating Li Yuanying well, and his interest in the future is not only to let him be an idle prince. Therefore, it is easy for Li Yuanying to be targeted if he does something bad now!
For example, Li Yuanying took the lotus root by hand. Originally, Li Yuanying wanted to taste it on a whim, and the reward was given according to his previous habits in the palace, but when it was spread, it changed: everyone said that His Royal Highness King Teng was in the Forbidden Garden Seeing a pair of twins very pretty, she became lustful, forced her to jump into the lotus pond, wet her clothes, and laughed at the little maid's slender figure by the lotus pond, and finally hit her A few golden beans insult people...
It can't be blamed for making things up, Li Yuanying has a criminal record, and the story of "King Mang lost his beauty" is still being circulated in secret! Li Yuanying even dared to make up his mind to the talents of His Majesty Li Er, so what is it to moles two little maids
When Li Yuanying went to Hu County, he even hit the newly widowed widow! What? You said that she is not a widow, but a peasant girl who lost her father and kept her filial piety? That's not much different!
Going forward, Li Yuanying also took the princess to Pingkangfang. Although it was a matter of the royal family's face, everyone tacitly suppressed this matter, but suppressing it does not mean it does not exist! It is said that Li Yuanying also stripped a female prostitute from Bancui Building in Pingkang Fang and kept her outside quietly...
At such a young age, he is so licentious!
Counting his age, Li Yuanying is also thirteen, other feudal lords should have gone to feudal lords at this age, so what does it matter if Li Yuanying stays in the palace? It's okay if it's all right, but if there is some scandal, how will it end? !
Even if there is a censor to speak to His Majesty Li Er, saying that it is not good for Li Yuanying to come and go freely in the palace, it is time for him to open the mansion alone, it is best to let him go, and it is easy to cause trouble if he stays longer!
The emperor has no family affairs, and the censor has the right to admonish this matter. He spit at the meeting, saying that Li Yuanying's personal morality is deficient and needs to be restrained.
His Majesty Li Er also found it absurd when he heard from the censor that Li Yuanying asked the two young maids to go to the lotus pond to dig lotus roots for him. Why is this kid not resting all day long? ! If you want to molest the little palace maid, you should at least choose a place with fewer people, how dare you just ask someone to jump into the lotus pond in the Forbidden Garden
Of course, in His Majesty Li Er's mind, it's not a big deal for the younger brother to be a little curious about female sex, if he likes a court lady, he will give it to him. He listened carefully to the censor's criticism of Li Yuanying, and was very satisfied with Li Yuanying's promiscuity at such a young age, so he asked the twin little maids to be assigned to Liu Baolin's side to serve them.
His Majesty Li Er came down with such a trick, and the censor who impeached Li Yuanying almost fainted from anger. Knowing that you don't pay much attention, you don't have to be so careless! Another day your younger brother has taken a fancy to your concubine, do you want to give him the concubine too? !
Li Yuanying went back to the Guozijian, and of course only Liu Baolin was the one who took over the two young maids. His Majesty Li Er only sent a decree saying that he was assigned to serve Li Yuanying, but he didn't say why, Liu Baolin felt a little uneasy.
After seeing the two little maids working quickly and speaking eloquently, Liu Baolin felt at ease, and assigned them to clean the study for Li Yuanying, and learn how to grind ink and make tea.
Now everyone can see that His Majesty Li Er really loves him so much that he is the younger brother. Even when he molested the palace servants, his thoughts were "Amazing! My younger brother can actually play cabbage. I have to pick a few." Give him a watery bow."
Changsun Wuji felt that the momentum was not good, so he had to persuade His Majesty Li Er a few words. Now that Li Tai's incident happened, His Majesty Li Er should be more vigilant, how could he be partial to someone else
No one can say for sure about people's hearts. Maybe Li Yuanying doesn't have any wrong thoughts now, but he has made friends with a group of the most outstanding supervisors of the Imperial College, married Wei Zheng's family, and has a good relationship with Li Jing, Chu Suiliang and other courtiers. Won't give birth to any thoughts
Not to mention anything else, just say that Dai Ting next to him looks indifferent, but actually controls the largest tea business in the entire Tang Dynasty, and has traveled to Gaochang and Tubo many times. If he really wants to plan something, that's really amazing easily noticed.
The eldest grandson Wuji had been His Majesty Li Er's eldest brother-in-law for twenty or thirty years, and Li Yuanying hadn't even been born at that time. Therefore, Changsun Wuji dared to remind His Majesty Li Er of this repeatedly.
His Majesty Li Er leaned on the table and listened to Changsun Wuji's analysis of the possible variables in Li Yuanying's body.
Changsun Wuji finished talking about his thoughts, and seeing that His Majesty Li Er didn't respond, he said: "If Your Majesty doesn't like to hear these words, I will stop talking about them in the future."
His Majesty Li Er suddenly smiled.
Changsun Wuji looked at His Majesty Li Er in wonder, not knowing why he suddenly laughed.
His Majesty Li Er said: "Yuanying told me what you said, even your last sentence he said the same." He told Changsun Wuji about Li Yuanying's persuasion to let Li Taijiu, with a peaceful expression Quite, "I know about Yuanying's matter, you don't need to persuade me any more."
Changsun Wuji was shocked.
He only knew that Li Tai had always disliked Li Yuanying and had had a bad relationship with Li Yuanying, but he didn't know that Li Yuanying had persuaded His Majesty Li Er in this way when Li Tai was the most favored.
No wonder Li Tai hated Li Yuanying so much.
His Majesty Li Er had already spoken, so Changsun Wuji naturally didn't want to say much. As for His Majesty Li Er's saying that he knew what he had in mind, Changsun Wuji felt that it was impossible for His Majesty Li Er to know what he was thinking. His Majesty Li Er's lenient treatment of Li Yuanying was even more lenient than he had been with Li Tai at the beginning!
In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival came, and the Imperial College was on vacation early in the morning. Li Yuanying felt that he should perform well, so he asked someone to return to the palace and handed over a letter saying that he would not go back, and he took his friends out to go shopping and buy. The purchase was to please A gift from the Yue family.
Although the father-in-law and mother-in-law are not at home, Wei Zheng and his wife are still there. They are the ones who have the most say in the Wei family. Of course he must actively be a good grandson-in-law!
Except for the necessary external contact, the Imperial College is relatively closed, at least the matter of the censor complaining about Li Yuanying has not been reported to the Imperial College. After all, His Majesty Li Er not only pressed the button but did not mention it after listening to it, and even assigned the two little maids to Li Yuanying's side!
His Majesty Li Er has such an attitude, what else can others say? Nobody cares anymore!
So no one outside knew about it, even Li Yuanying, the person involved, knew nothing about it.
So Li Yuanying made a good plan, but he didn't know that the matter of him holding the lotus root by hand and the follow-up of the trouble that went directly to the court meeting. When he arrived at Wei's house with Wei Shu with a cart of carefully selected gifts, what greeted him was Wei Zheng's dark face!
Li Yuanying took a look and felt that Old Wei looked a little scary. He and Wei Shu bit their ears: "What's the matter with your grandfather? Did your brother do something bad to anger him? Your brother is really, he is not young, why is he so ignorant!"
Although Li Yuanying was whispering to Wei Shu, his voice was not too low, which happened to be heard by Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
You have the ability to whisper, you have the ability not to let others hear!
Wei Shu squeezed Li Yuanying's palm to tell Li Yuanying not to be angry with her grandfather on purpose.
Li Yuanying ran over to sit next to Wei Zheng and asked warmly: "Who bothered you? Tell me, I'll take someone to beat him up for you!"
Hearing what he said, Wei Zheng's heart was even more blocked. This kid can't even beat His Majesty Li Er, and others really can't teach him a lesson. I have already married a daughter to become a princess in my early years, why do I have such a short memory, and I have to pay for another granddaughter
The author has something to say:
Wei Zheng: You may or may not believe it, but you have a brother who married your wife's aunt, you can call him uncle later!
Little Prince:
Speaking of the marriage system of the Tang Dynasty, I read a book that day that during the Zhenguan period, if a man was 20 years old and a woman was 15 years old, if they were not married, the government would intervene to help you find a partner. The households got together to help with it. As long as the widower is under the age of sixty and the widow is under the age of fifty, they will continue to be forced to find a partner! It's all about having a baby!
On the other hand, at that time, many people sought marriages with women from aristocratic families, and these aristocratic families demanded high betrothal gifts. Everyone said that this was a "marriage sale". So His Majesty Li Er rebuilt the clan chronicles, moved these old families back, and issued an order to prohibit selling marriages, and the concubines and sons-in-law were also selected from honored officials, in order to weaken the influence of the family.
But it's useless, these aristocratic families proudly call themselves "forbidden marriage families", which still attracts many people...
