It's not easy to see his parents. The lengthy shouts from the courtesy officer sounded to Li Hong the same as when he forced Xia Zhi and the others to sell popsicles in the palace.
As the dragon chariot and phoenix chariot slowly stopped, the ceremonial guards flashed to both sides, and then under the arrangement of the etiquette officer, headed by His Royal Highness the Prince of the Supervisor, led the civil and military officials towards the dragon chariot.
After stopping about ten feet away, the prince of the prison country began to salute loudly, and then the civil and military officials roared to welcome His Majesty back to the capital.
Li Zhi got out of the car and met with all the officials, mainly the Prince of the Supervisory State and the chief officials of the Three Provinces and Six Ministries. Then, with the salutes of the Prince of Supervisor and the officials of the Three Provinces and Six Ministries, he slowly got into the carriage that was as big as a house.
At this time, the prince should be holding the chariot, followed by the civil and military officials, and everyone followed the chariot slowly into Chang'an City and into the palace.
But before the courtesy officer could say anything, Li Hong quickly ran to the carriage behind him, reached out and patted the window of Li Zhi's carriage, and shouted loudly: "I'm going to the back. If you have anything to do, see them."
Li Zhi, who had just got on the carriage, glared at Li Hong. He had known that this little brat was trying to communicate with his mother. On the way back, he already knew that He Lan Minzhi and Mrs. Han were dead. He had been thinking about how to go back all the way. Get rid of him.
Unexpectedly, the little bastard felt a sense of crisis, so he went to his mother's public relations at this time.
Li Zhi stood in the carriage and pointed at Li Hong through the window: "Little bastard, just wait, I will deal with you sooner or later."
Li Hong waved his hand, chuckled, put aside the pull of the ceremony officer, and hurriedly ran to the phoenix car behind him.
"Your Highness, this is not in line with the ancestral etiquette. You must help the chariot to welcome His Majesty back to the palace..." The ceremony officer was helpless and looked anxiously at His Highness who had already run to the fengchao. His duties were once again ignored and trampled on by His Highness. .
Wu Mei was in the carriage and saw clearly the entanglement between Li Hong and the ceremony officer through the front window. How could she not know the little bastard's little thoughts.
"Lian Tie, open the door." Li Hong patted the door of Feng Che helplessly, but his mother locked it from the inside.
"Your Highness, a slave cannot be the master." Lian Tie looked at Li Hong in embarrassment and said through the gap in the window.
"You won't open it, right? If you don't open it, I can pry it open. Then the Queen Mother will still blame you." Li Hong said as he pulled out the sword from his waist that was more decorative than practical, and started to pry the door open.
"Let him in, I want to see how much more capable he is now." Wu Mei, with a black line on her forehead, said to Lian Tie, who was standing outside the door of Feng Che.
As for Princess Taiping Li Lingyue, who was just over one year old in the carriage, and Prince Li Dan of Yin, who had just turned four, after hearing Li Hong's voice in the carriage, Taiping had already jumped happily and ran towards the carriage door, wanting to see them quickly. His own royal brother.
Li Dan, on the other hand, shook Wu Mei's arm unhappily, not wanting Li Hong to get on the carriage and then bully him again.
"Why are you afraid of him? I asked you to eat less every day, but you didn't listen. Look how fat you are now." Wu Mei rubbed Li Dan's head and said.
"Yeah yeah yeah..."
"Little Taiping has become fat again. Brother Huang can hardly hold you. Lian Tie, are you going down by yourself, or should I kick you down?" Li Hong held Taiping, who was swaying, and threw him into his arms. He looked at Zhu Liantie said.
"Li Hong, come in here, where can Lian Tie be if he's not in the car? When will it be your turn to make the decision, my slave?" Wu Mei's mind was filled with dark thoughts. This little brat didn't know why, but he just didn't want Lian Tie. Waiting for someone in the carriage with him.
After shouting, Li Hong didn't answer. As expected, in less than two breaths, Li Hong appeared in his sight holding Taiping, and Lian Tie's figure also appeared under the carriage at the same time, following him to the palace. Go inside.
Wu Mei did not sit behind the desk that Li Hong specially placed on the carriage, but sat on the leisure chair on the other side, where she was boringly pruning the small potted plant in her hand with Ban Mei.
"My son has met my mother." Li Hong teased Taiping, who was holding his neck in his arms and wouldn't let go, and casually said to Wu Mei.
Wu Mei was too lazy to pay attention to him and remained silent. Someone was not polite and just hugged Taiping and sat on the chair behind the table. He put Taiping on his lap and let him jump.
Li Dan sat opposite, feeling depressed. Even though he was just four years old, he knew that no one else could sit in that chair except his mother.
"Dandan, what delicious food have you eaten in Luoyang during this time? Look at your little fat face, you can hardly see your eyes. You will help me lose weight at Chongwen Hall tomorrow." Li Hong took out a piece of milk He handed the candy to Taiping and said to Li Dan.
"My name is not Dandan, my name is Li Dan, hum." Li Dan now hates his own name, and was forced to call him Dandan by the emperor's brother.
And now not only does he shout, but Li Xian and Li Zhe will also call him Dandan now. Even Taiping, who has just learned to speak, is humming incomprehensibly, but he can understand that he is called Dandan!
"Hey, what's different? Are Dandan and Dandan different? Did you learn this pronunciation at Chongwen Museum?" Li Hong ignored the black line on his forehead and stopped what he was doing just now. Under Banmei's service, he wiped his hands clean and continued teasing the little fat Li Dan to death.
"Of course I learned. Anyway, I'm not called Dandan."
"Then you call me Qiuqiu. Look at how round you are now. How do you compare with eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs... Oops, it hurts. Mother, please be gentle, it's about to fall off." Wu Mei's jade hands have already been perfected. With the "Nine Yin White Bone Claws", pulling Li Hong's ears is a sure thing.
Taiping in his arms watched excitedly as his mother grabbed the emperor's ear and stood up in Li Hong's arms. He also followed Wu Mei's example and stretched out his little hand to scratch Li Hong's face, looking for the other ear.
"Haha... You deserve it. Let's see if you still call me balls." Li Dan looked at Wu Mei with a black line on her forehead and a livid cheek. She silently tugged at the ears of his brother Li Hong, and he almost felt happy. The flowers are coming.
"Since the moment you came in, you've been trying to die here, and you've nicknamed Li Dan? Do you look like a brother? Are you in need of beatings again these days? Is it you on purpose?" Wu Mei He grabbed the ears of Li Hong who had already stood up from the chair as he raised his hand higher and higher, and said coldly.
Then he waved his hand and asked Banmei to carry Princess Taiping Li Lingyue and Li Dan into the bedroom behind the carriage.
After Li Dan and Taiping entered, they were the only two people left in the entire area in the middle of the carriage.
Wu Mei unhappily let go of Li Hong's already red ears, letting Li Hong continue to sit on the elegant phoenix chair, while she sat on the chair opposite.
"Tell me, queen mother, why?" Wu Mei took a glass of water, handed it to Li Hong opposite, and asked.
"For no reason, I still can't bear it. I'm also afraid that my father... will be too lonely." Li Hong rubbed his ears, took the water Wu Mei sent him, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Lonely? He often goes to visit the Xiao family. Don't you, Li Hong, know? Xu Hui's sister has been given the title of Jieyu by the Jin Dynasty for many years. Your father is too lazy to choose a concubine every three years, and neither is your mother. give him… ."
"What's the use of telling me this? You should tell my father. Besides, my father is not a romantic emperor. You don't know that my father only has you in his heart. If it weren't for you, how could he like that Korean lady? With Helan Minyue? "
"Hey, little bastard, are you talking to your father now? Is it wrong for me to complain?"
"No, no, no, Queen Mother, please calm down. I don't mean that. What I mean is that the only person in my father's heart is you, Queen Mother. During this time, I am studying psychology. You don't know what psychology is? That's right. A newly opened subject in Chongwen Museum, from words and deeds... "
"Speak humanly." Wu Mei leaned back in her chair and looked at the people who were kneeling on both sides of the street and said calmly.
"Okay, let's talk humanly. That is to say, I said it first. This is not treason. Don't blame me blindly. Judging from my father's experience, my father lost his grandmother when he was a child. Psychologically Mother, she has a natural sense of dependence on her mother's love, so... Mother, please don't do anything, just grab this side, it hurts..."
"Little bastard, are you saying that your mother is old?" Wu Mei gritted her teeth and grabbed Li Hong's ear across the table and said angrily.
"You are getting old, please let go. You stand with your father. It feels like your father is several years older than you, okay?"
Wu Mei lazily let go of her hand and said lightly: "Then what do you plan to do with Helan Minyue? Do you really want her to enter the palace in the future?"
"How is it possible? She can only die in Prince Pu's Mansion from now on! If they all leave, my father will only miss me more. If he stays, it will slowly fade away. What's more, you, the unparalleled one in the world, will accompany my father. Your Majesty, little Helan Minyue, please fulfill your filial piety under the knee of Mrs. Rong Guo."
Li Hong looked into his mother's beautiful eyes. This was the first time he had openly discussed strategy with his mother, and his palms were already sweating from nervousness.
He didn't dare to look down on his mother, even if he had the memories and experiences of nine or ten lifetimes, he didn't dare to be careless in front of her.
This time, the queen mother was able to deal with the Korean lady without anyone noticing within her own sphere of influence, which forced him to put aside his contempt for the queen mother.
Moreover, he was not sure whether the queen mother also meant to remind him, Li Hong, by doing this, and whether she was reminding him of her existence!
After so many years, Li Hong always thought that there were no dissidents around him, but what he didn't expect was that his mother could still be hundreds of miles away, calmly and easily dealing with everything that happened in Chang'an. But it's not just the energy that a queen should have.
