Li Yuanying happily returned to Chang'an, and His Majesty Li Er also picked a Teng Palace for him. Li Yuanying was married, so he definitely couldn't live in the palace. His Majesty Li Er pondered for a while, and encircled the house next to Li Tai's Wei Palace for Li Yuanying to live in.
Li Yuanying didn't think about these things at all. After returning to Beijing, he was sent to Prince Teng Mansion to find out that he and Li Tai had become neighbors. Recalling the days when he came to harass his fourth nephew from time to time, Li Yuanying still had a little nostalgia, and when he was about to go back, he must go to Li Tai to remember the past.
After settling down, Li Yuanying led Wei Shu into the palace to have an audience.
Although there is no queen in the palace, there are still concubines and noble concubines. Wei Shu, as the princess of the Tian family, should naturally go to see her when she returns to Chang'an. Wei Shu has been in contact with Li Yuanying and the others since she was a child, and the number of times she has been banned in the palace is not small. She handles these things quite calmly, and casually talks about interesting things about Tengzhou with the concubines.
After Li Yuanying sent Wei Shu off, he went to see His Majesty Li Er by himself.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er was receiving courtiers and there was no time to see him, so Li Yuanying sat in the side room and waited, whimpering. After eating a bowl of tea, he couldn't sit still, and asked the servant whom he knew before to ask who His Majesty Li Er was seeing.
It is a big taboo for ordinary people to inquire about forbidden things, but Li Yuanying is used to it casually, so he doesn't have so many scruples. But he dared to ask, but others didn't dare to say it, so he said with a compensatory smile that he couldn't reveal the matter before the imperial court.
Li Yuanying saw that the servant's face was full of embarrassment, and he didn't try to force others, so he waved his hands and leaned on the table and dozed off.
Li Chengqian finished his work and came to listen to His Majesty Li Er's discussion. He heard that Li Yuanying had returned and was waiting in the side room. Li Chengqian immediately changed direction and went to look for Li Yuanying first.
When he entered the room and saw Li Yuanying dozing there, Li Chengqian went to sit down and wake Li Yuanying up. Li Yuanying was really tired after running around all the way, and fell into a deep sleep. He only opened his eyes in a daze when he heard Li Chengqian calling him.
Seeing that it was Li Chengqian who came over, Li Yuanying murmured to him: "Oh, I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that it really is the truth. You see, I have only left Chang'an for a few years, and the emperor can't even see me." La."
If others heard this, they would definitely impeach Li Yuanying and felt resentful, but Li Chengqian ruthlessly stated the reality: "In the past, the father and emperor would not see Uncle Yao when he was on business." The children will not delay government affairs for each other, and only take time to meet and teach each other when they are free.
Li Yuanying thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. He nodded in agreement with a serious face: "Chengqian, you are right, I was wrong to blame the emperor." Thinking that the servant did not dare to say it, Li Chengqian must dare to say it, Li Yuanying asked again who His Majesty Li Er was seeing.
Li Chengqian said: "Wang Xuance, who was on an envoy to Tianzhu today, just came back, and my father should be seeing him." Into the turmoil in Tianzhu, he borrowed the soldiers of Nibala and Tubo to escape. Now that he finally came back, His Majesty Li Er must have a good understanding of the current situation in the Western Regions with him.
Li Yuanying said: "So that's how it is." He still wanted to talk to Li Chengqian, when he heard the person who was serving by His Majesty Li Er come to invite him and Li Chengqian to the meeting hall.
Li Yuanying obediently followed Li Chengqian into the room. Seeing that there were two vacant seats beside His Majesty Li Er, he spontaneously ran over and sat down with Li Chengqian, one on the left and one on the right. After he sat down, he looked up. He wanted to praise the emperor's brother for being more heroic and extraordinary, but after a closer look, he felt that His Majesty Li Er had a little more gray hair.
Li Yuanying took His Majesty Li Er's hand and said: "Brother Emperor, your hair looks white. Sigh, even if the state affairs are busy, you don't have to work too hard. Let Cheng Qian and Qingque help you. If your hair It's all white, so it doesn't look very handsome, last time I was busy for a few days, and suddenly found a white hair on my head, it scared me to death, I thought I was going to grow old and gray!"
His Majesty Li Er shot Li Yuanying a glance. Li Yuanying is eighteen years old. Although he is many years younger than the crown prince, he is not a child anymore. He reprimanded with a straight face: "I let you come and listen, and I didn't let you talk non-stop."
Li Yuanying was also very interested in the situation in the Western Regions, so he shut his mouth and turned to look at Wang Xuance who was sitting at the bottom.
Although Wang Xuance was born as a civil servant, he was quite tall, and his appearance was also very good, but he was a little tanned after going to Tianzhu, and his bookishness was slightly worn away. He made two missions to the Western Regions, once as a deputy envoy and once as a principal envoy. He did not expect that this time when he was a principal envoy, there would be turmoil in Tianzhu. Datang Mission!
Wang Xuance was so angry that he didn't want to come back with his tail between his legs in despair, so he went to borrow troops from Nipoluo and Tubo to fight back against Tianzhu.
Just now Wang Xuance and His Majesty Li Er were reporting these things in detail. By the way, about the situation in the Western Regions, in the middle of the talk, His Majesty Li Er heard the report that the prince had gone to find Li Yuanying, so he announced the prince and Li Yuanying in to listen.
Then as soon as Li Yuanying came in, he sat down in front of His Majesty Li Er honestly and bluntly, and opened his mouth to chatter "how are you, how am I, how are I", so that Wang Xuance even forgot what he was talking about!
Although he had heard that His Majesty Li Er favored Younger Brother Yao, seeing Li Yuanying holding His Majesty Li Er's hand and talking with his own eyes, Wang Xuance still felt that the impact was quite big.
After realizing that Li Yuanying was anxiously waiting for him to talk about the Western Regions, Wang Xuance tried his best to think back, and then went on to talk about the half of the situation just now. In the early years, there was a unified Gupta Dynasty in the Western Regions. Later, the nomadic Heda people invaded Tianzhu, and the Gupta Dynasty fell apart. Tianzhu was divided into five Tianzhu, east, west, south, north, and middle. Tianzhu countries have their own ideas and disputes, and they have been turbulent. Many small neighboring countries have also been struggling to survive.
Wang Xuance also heard a lot of news from the west. He heard that there is a big cannibal country in the west that is rising rapidly. The big cannibals are ambitious and have a strong army. They have been using troops against the surrounding countries. The momentum is huge and cannot be underestimated.
Li Yuanying had never understood these things before, so he sat obediently and listened to them with great interest. Originally, he thought that Tianzhu was very far away. He heard people say that Master Xuanzang went to Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures for 21 years. It can be seen that the journey is so long and difficult. He did not expect that there are more countries besides Tianzhu, and it sounds quite For the strong.
Hearing Wang Xuance speak vividly, Li Yuanying couldn't hold back his curiosity at all, and actively asked: "How far is the Dashi from our Datang?"
Wang Xuance was not too sure, so he could only make a rough estimate, saying that Dashi might be four or five times as far away from Chang'an as Tubo.
Li Yuanying calculated in his heart, feeling that the world is really too big! He couldn't help but sigh with His Majesty Li Er: "Maybe there are really 10,000 countries in the world."
His Majesty Li Er didn't reprimand him for interjecting, nodded and said: "Plus there may be those that are gone."
Li Yuanying enjoyed listening to it, and only after Wang Xuance stepped back did he realize that he had just returned, so he needed to get in touch with His Majesty Li Er. He ate a meal in the palace with a shameless face, and praised His Majesty Li Er that there is nothing in the sky and earth. After the meal, he was still unsatisfied, and followed His Majesty Li Er to take a walk in the forbidden garden to digest food.
Seeing that Li Yuanying was so attentive, His Majesty Li Er inevitably recited two paragraphs of letters to Li Yuanying, and asked Li Yuanying to recall what he said in the letters.
When Li Yuanying heard that something was wrong, he immediately said: "I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first, Brother Huang, digest your food slowly and rest early!" up.
His Majesty Li Er was too lazy to argue with him.
After serving His Majesty Li Er for many years, seeing Li Yuanying running away lively, he couldn't help but say a few words: "His Royal Highness Prince Teng really hasn't changed at all."
His Majesty Li Er laughed and scolded: "It's still as lawless as before." Li Yuanying is annoying, but it is undeniable that he immediately felt lively when he came back.
Li Yuanying slipped away from His Majesty Li Er, and did not forget to pick up Wei Shu. Wei Shu had dinner with the concubines, and when they heard that Li Yuanying had finally found him, she said goodbye to the concubines and went out of the palace to meet Li Yuanying.
On the way back, Li Yuanying and Wei Shu sighed again about His Majesty Li Er's gray hair.
Regardless of whether one is born in an emperor's family or a commoner's family, birth, old age, sickness and death are unavoidable, and it is a bit sad to think about it. Of course, Li Yuanying would not have the idea of being too serious. He and Wei Shu expressed their feelings: "We need to go out and play more while we are young!"
Li Yuanying was full of energy and couldn't be free even after leaving the palace. While asking Wei Shu to post a post to invite his son-in-law and the others to come to Prince Teng's mansion tomorrow, he asked someone to prepare some small gifts. He was going next door to see his nephews and grandchildren. They both live next door, so of course they have to be friendly!
Wei Shu told Li Yuanying about His Majesty Li Er choosing a son-in-law for Sizi and Hengshan. Sizi and Hengshan were about the same age as her, and they should have gotten married, but Sizi was not in good health. His Majesty Li Er planned to keep her more. For a few years, Hengshan also kept it.
His Majesty Li Er loves his son the most, and the son-in-law chosen for his son-in-law is Yu Shinan's grandson, Yu Zhi. Although Yu Zhi is not the eldest son of the family, he is intelligent and responsible, and comes from a noble family. He is a very suitable candidate. And Hengshan was promised to Changsun Quan, who is the nephew of Empress Changsun. This marriage is not only a close relationship, but also an expression of His Majesty Li Er's love for the eldest grandson's family.
In the blink of an eye, all the nephews and nieces were going to get married. Li Yuanying was a little disappointed when he heard that, so he went to find Li Tai for a drink and chat with a good wine.
Ever since Li Tai heard that Li Yuanying's mansion was arranged next door to Wei Wang's mansion, he always felt that Li Yuanying would not stop. He was not surprised at all when he heard that Li Yuanying had come, so he asked people to invite Li Yuanying in with a dark face.
When Li Yuanying entered the room and saw Li Tai's expression, he missed him even more, and pulled Li Tai to talk, expressing that his uncle missed the good times when his uncle and nephew got along very much.
Li Tai was disgusted by Li Yuanying, and felt that there was no one more disgusting than Li Yuanying in the world. He asked someone to call a few children over and let Li Yuanying play with the children!
As soon as Li Yuanying saw Li Xiaoyuanqiu's three brothers and sisters, his eyes lit up immediately, and he no longer dragged Li Tai to express his heartfelt feelings, but instead asked Li Xiaoyuanqiu to introduce him to his younger siblings. Li Xiaoyuan was with her, and the two little ones were very lively. The little princess was especially not afraid of strangers. Seeing Li Yuanying's handsome appearance, she immediately yelled at Li Yuanying, and even played a war game with Li Yuanying. She and Li Yuanying were generals. Her elder brother and second brother were soldiers.
Li Xiaoyuan felt that his sister was biased: "Why can you become a general as soon as you come?"
The little Princess took it for granted: "Yaoyao looks good!"
The second child has a more stable personality and did not express his own opinion on this.
Li Xiaoyuanqiu had had enough fun with his younger sister, so he asked someone to take his younger siblings to rest, and worriedly pulled Li Yuanying to whisper: "I don't think my younger sister will be able to marry in the future. She likes to fight and kill, and she likes sex. Which one?" My little man can bear it!"
Seeing that such a brat as Li Xiaoyuanqiu was still worried about his sister's marriage, Li Yuanying couldn't help but patted his head, and said, "What are you worried about? The girls in our family are afraid that they won't be able to get married? Besides, there are those who like gentleness and virtuousness, of course." There are also those who like your sister, why are you worrying about it? I think it’s good. If she really wants to lead the army and become a general when she grows up, you can just let her come to Tengzhou, and don’t give her anywhere else. I will give it to her in Tengzhou when."
Li Xiaoyuanqiu was happy to hear what Li Yuanying said, and after sending Li Yuanying away, he ran to talk to Li Tai about it.
Li Tai gritted his teeth angrily: "Well, you Li Yuanying, you don't want to harm my son after harming my son, but you still want to harm my daughter?"
He really taught his daughter to be a female general who went to the barracks to train soldiers. Who would his daughter marry? !
The author has something to say:
Little Prince: I am really a united and friendly person!
Fourth nephew: Get out, get out of here!
