Li Xiu's thoughts can't help stretching to more than ten years ago, when the late emperor was still alive, he was still the prince.
Suddenly one day, the first emperor brought back a seven or eight-year-old boy and announced that the little boy was a child he had just found and left behind among the people.
Li Xiu believed the first emperor's words at first, but as time passed, he became more and more suspicious, because this child had nothing in common with their brothers.
Whether it is his appearance or his cultivation talent, he seems to surpass the existence of mortals.
Li Mo's personality is very withdrawn and weird, in the first three years in the palace, no one heard him say a word. The little man was as cold as a piece of ice, although he was not seen to be harsh on the servants, but the maids and eunuchs were all afraid of him, even Li Xiu's children who were about the same age as Li Mo didn't dare to mess with him Uncle Huang.
The first emperor's attitude towards Li Mo was also very strange. Although all kinds of rare treasures and delicacies were closely related to him, he didn't have the kindness that a father should have, and some were in awe instead.
With a layer of mystery, Li Mo entered the military camp when he was ten years old in the imperial palace of the Li Kingdom, became a general at the age of fifteen, and led the army to suppress the orcs with thunder at the age of seventeen. rebellion.
At that time, Li Xiu was very afraid of Li Mo, fearing that he would take away his crown prince. But vaguely felt that he would not, no, he was disdainful.
Li Xiu didn't know why he had such absurd thoughts, but he clearly saw disdain in Li Mo's eyes, disdain for him, disdain for his father, and even disdain for the entire Li Kingdom Palace.
Finally, when the day came when his father died, Li Mo not only did not usurp power, but instead handed over hundreds of thousands of military charms to him, and helped him secure the throne of emperor smoothly.
Lixiu still remembers what the late emperor said to him on the hospital bed before his death. He said, "Xiu'er, as long as you make offerings to the god Limo, you can preserve the foundation of Li Kingdom for a thousand years."
"Emperor, do you think Meier's dance has improved?" The queen's voice sounded next to his ear, Lixiu pulled his thoughts back, and looked at a dancing beauty in the middle of the garden. That was his eldest daughter, Li Meier.
"Well, Meier dances really well!" Li Xiu smiled and praised, he raised his eyes and glanced at the princes and princesses sitting below him.
Except for the second prince Li Qianyuan who was away on business, the fourth prince Li Qianyue who was not in the palace all year round, and a few princesses who were already married and waiting to be married, the rest were almost all present.
No, there is one less!
Li Xiu's smile restrained a little, and he asked, "Why hasn't the prince arrived yet?"
The queen coughed lightly and said, "It must be that something is delayed, and someone has already been sent to call."
"I'm afraid it's another matter of walking around." Li Xiu's smiling face finally sank.
The queen saw that the prince Li Qianxiao was not there early in the morning, so she sent someone to look for him. She searched around the prince's east palace and the huge palace, but she couldn't find Li Qianxiao.
Seeing that the emperor's face was rarely darkened, the queen turned her head and let the left and right look for it again.
No wonder the palace people couldn't find Li Qianxiao, he was busy in a darkroom in the back garden right now.
"Brother Ziao, help me, help me, I'm so uncomfortable." Yi Qianying's medicinal strength had already reached its peak, she twisted her body impatiently, and wrapped herself tightly around the naked man.
The man sped up his movements, straightened his back, grunted, turned over and lay down among the flowers.
Yi Qianying finally got rid of the poison, and passed out from exhaustion.
The man rested for a while, and began to put on the redbud python robe that he had taken off. He glanced at the naked woman lying on the ground with disdain in his eyes.
This man is none other than Prince Li Qianxiao.
In fact, he was the first to arrive at the Summer Palace, seeing that there was no one in the Honey Garden, he wandered around the garden by himself.
Wandering around, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, so he stretched his head to look. It didn't matter but it scared him enough. Why did that ugly girl from the Yun family dress up like a fairy and come out to scare people? He didn't invite her at all? !
She was even walking with her fourth younger brother Li Qianhan talking and laughing. It seems that this silly younger brother of hers must have been deceived by Yun Ruoyan's false beautiful appearance.
He originally wanted to jump out to expose Yun Ruoyan's ugly appearance, but when he remembered how ridiculous he was when he ran away in a panic that night, he decided to forget it.
If he wants to expose Yun Ruoyan, he must first become a joke, and Li Qianxiao also wants to see what kind of expression his third younger brother, who has always been unrestrained and unrestrained, suddenly sees the stunning woman next to him change his face.
Even though he thought so, he didn't want to go to Naluoshizi's flower viewing banquet anymore.
The purpose of his coming to the flower feast was to see beauties. With such an unappetizing ugly monster like Yun Ruoyan, he didn't even have the slightest intention of admiring beauties.
He thought about waiting until the banquet was about to start, to ask Mrs. Rong for a sick leave, and to avoid the flower feast.
The flower viewing feast usually starts after dark when the moonstone can emit the brightest light.
It's dusk now, it's still early, and Li Qianxiao wandered around in the garden at will.
As the prince, Li Qianxiao is very busy lately. First, he went to the Yue Kingdom to offer his condolences. After returning, he followed Li Xiu to go hunting on the Underworld Mountain, and then went to the minister's house.
In the past few days, I finally had some time to train the horses and go away with the eagles, but I haven't come to enjoy the flowers in the Summer Palace for a long time.
He saw a marigold magnolia in the corner of the yard from a distance, which was blooming extremely gorgeously, exuding a gorgeous golden light under the twilight of dusk.
As soon as he walked under the flower tree, he heard a murmur of whispers in the flowers not far away.
"Brother Ziao, give it to me quickly, quickly..." Yi Qianying said impatiently.
"No, this is the imperial palace, so you can't be here." Pei Ziao refused.
"I'm dying, I'm so sad." Yi Qianying was about to cry.
Pei Ziao seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Yi Qianying. Just now in the honey garden, he was competing with others, and Yi Qianying suddenly called herself out, saying that she had something important to tell him.
Pei Ziao followed her all the way to this secluded place, and then Yi Qianying couldn't help but start clinging to him.
For a moment, Pei Ziao was dazed by being entangled. He knew that Yi Qianying liked him, but he always asked for intimacy, and the intimacy was only limited to cuddling and so on. Never crossed the line like today.
"Qianying, what's wrong with you?" He grabbed Yi Qianying's dishonest hand and asked.
At this time, Yi Qianying still had a semblance of reason, her clothes were disheveled, and she was lying softly in Pei Ziao's arms. He opened his mouth and exhaled scorching breath, spraying all of it on Pei Ziao's neck.
"I... I've been poisoned by mei poison, help me."
After saying this sentence, Yi Qianying completely lost her mind and kept pulling on Pei Ziao's clothes.
Pei Ziao was distracted and at a loss for a moment.
Li Qianxiao looked contemptuously at the two wild mandarin ducks among the flowers, but he also sincerely admired their boldness, looking for excitement in the back garden of the palace, which he only dared to think about but never put into action.
He originally wanted to call the palace servants to arrest the two and hand them over to Rong Shi, but after a closer look, they were still two old acquaintances.
Pei Ziao is very familiar. He was the one who brought Li Qianxiao to Fireworks and Willow Alley for the first time. He was too strict in the palace, so he would go to Pei's house to find out. Pei's wine pool and meat forest, beautiful women like clouds can be said to be Li Qianxiao's happy place, a fairyland.
But Li Qianxiao is not stupid, he knows what the Pei family wants from him, and he has not told his father and son about some official secrets while half drunk and half awake over the years.
Therefore, neither owes anything!
As for Yi Qianying, Li Qianxiao only knew that she was the daughter of the Yi family who was fostered by the Yun family. She has been charming and lovely since she was a child, but she never thought that she would be so sloppy in her bones!
Li Qianxiao squinted at the crimson skin of Yi Qianying, who was half-dressed, and secretly thought, cheating after cheating, even taking medicine. A wave of evil fire rose from the bottom of his heart involuntarily.
He is very familiar with the environment of Summer Palace, and knows that there is a greenhouse nearby, and there will be no one there at this time. He simply stopped being depressed, stepped forward, and knocked Pei Ziao unconscious with his palm. Without doing anything else, she picked up Yi Qianying and went to the greenhouse.
Li Qianxiao took one last look at Yi Qianying who was still lying in the greenhouse, hooked the corners of his mouth, turned and left.
Li Qianxiao didn't know if he had detoxified Yi Qianying, and consciously did a good job, and his mood improved.
"Dawn brings apricot blossoms in the light smoke, evening congeals deep emerald greens and blows flat sands, drifts past among thousands of flowers, a green leaf does not touch the body, that green leaf does not touch the body, does not touch the body..."
"Oh! Your Royal Highness, this old servant has found you." Eunuch Chang, the servant next to Rong, heard Li Qianxiao humming a song from a distance, and hurried over with small steps.
"Eunuch Chang, what's the matter with this prince?" Li Qianxiao asked with a smile, his heart was still floating on the clouds and hadn't come down.
"My lord, the flower viewing banquet has already begun. His Majesty the Emperor is not happy to see you."
Seeing Li Qianxiao's relaxed appearance, Eunuch Chang couldn't help but anxiously said: "The Empress asked me to look for you, we searched the East Palace, so it turns out that you are always enjoying flowers in the Summer Palace!"
When Li Qianxiao heard that his father was looking for him, his heart, which was floating in the clouds, immediately sank to the bottom of the water. He was not afraid of anything but his father smiling at him. That smile made him feel very cautious and panicked. . But fortunately, Mrs. Rong was protecting him.
No longer caring about the ugly girl Yun Ruoyan at the flower viewing banquet, he quickly followed Eunuch Chang towards the honey garden.
