"Mother, I was wrong... In fact, it was them who wanted to drink..."
"Queen mother, it was the imperial brother who forced us to drink it." Li Xian and Li Zhe immediately betrayed their eldest son, speaking in unison to the outside world. At this time, the crown prince was used to betray him! No matter how deep the brotherhood is, it has to be put aside.
Li Hong begged for mercy, but he didn't dare to run too fast, so he had to circle around another stone lion, but the feather duster still fell on him.
"You're talking nonsense. You two forced me to drink. When did Bai Chun drink, it was always because of you two." Li Hong hid while explaining, but his mother had no choice but to become a proficient feather duster in the past few years. , no less effective than his ability to kill enemies with a horse spear on the battlefield.
"Can they force you to drink? If you don't drink, how many people in this world dare to let you drink? They actually want to deceive me, and you two, kneel down for me!" Wu Mei chased Li Hong did not give up on punishing the other two unlucky guys.
With two pops, Li Xian and Li Zhe were very obedient and knelt on the ground on the Qingshi Road. They did not dare to be as disobedient as Li Hong. This was what made the two of them the most unfair. Why did the Queen Mother dote on them so much? Li Hong.
The two unlucky ones had been kneeling outside, while the culprit and Wu Mei were talking in the living room of Li Zhengdian.
Wu Mei still had a black line on her forehead, because the beating was over, but she was still nonchalant, fearless, and flattering her in front of her.
"You are not allowed to drink again tomorrow!" After holding it in for a long time, Wu Mei didn't know how she could hold back such a sentence.
"Mother, what do you want to tell me?" Seeing Wu Mei's helpless and angry look, Li Hong still asked seriously when he got down to business.
Wu Mei glanced at him and felt a little relieved. At least he had a correct attitude when it came to serious matters now.
"Tomorrow your father and I will be in the palace to entertain some royal family members. As His Royal Highness, you have just returned from the Western Expedition, so you naturally need to participate. As for the two outside, they will be confined to their own residence from tomorrow. You are not allowed to go out without my order.”
"This relationship is a good thing... Ouch." Li Hongguang listened to the second half of the sentence. As soon as he agreed, Wu Mei knocked on the forehead again with a feather duster.
"Your father's dragon body is not in good condition. This time, it is said that the domestic slaves in Princess Qianjin's mansion have hired some skilled sorcerers, hoping to help diagnose your father's condition and perhaps cure your father's dizziness." Wu Mei sighed. He took a breath and finally put down the feather duster in his hand.
"Warlock?" Li Hong frowned. It is expected that Chongyan and Du Yuanji, two great magicians who had connections with the royal family in history, were placed in Menyuan Town behind Yumenguan to refine cement. , so there are still warlocks with connections to the royal family who want to encourage people.
"What? Do you know any warlocks?" Wu Mei looked at Li Hong frowning and asked strangely.
She knew that Li Hong had always been disgusted with these things, but this time Princess Qianjin spoke so categorically and vowed that both she and Li Zhi had to be tempted.
"I don't know any warlocks. I'm just wondering why I didn't ask Dr. Sun to treat my father instead of a warlock?" Li Hong was still thinking about which famous magician in history he would be.
"Sun Shenxian is now among the gods. How can his traces be so easy to find? There has been no news for two or three years, since the last time I said goodbye." Wu Mei sighed again and said.
This was indeed the case for Sun Simiao in history, but he retired and returned to his hometown earlier than expected.
Li Hong nodded thoughtfully. Princess Qianjin was someone he had been guarding against. Over the years, he had secretly squandered a lot of Taiyi City's supplies. Now, although she was not in his name, she was actually in control.
Thinking of this, Li Hong couldn't help but think of Suo Yuanli, one of the four cruel officials who would appear in the Tang Dynasty in the near future. Now he is the general of Princess Qianjin's mansion.
Moreover, they had a chance encounter when they were in Taiyi City. At that time, Bai Chun had a head-on confrontation with him. Could it be that he was the one who brought this warlock to him? And then the daughter-in-law who instigated it? Is he hoping to use this to achieve his goal of entering an official career
Li Hong believes in reincarnation and historical trajectories. Under his influence, some historical trajectories have changed, but there are still some characters or events that cannot be organized and are simply advanced or delayed.
This was a phenomenon he only discovered when he occasionally thought about it. Just like now, Ming Chongyan and Du Yuanji failed to appear in the palace as sorcerers, get involved with the palace, and start their official careers.
But didn’t other warlocks appear to fill the gaps in history
"What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in your thoughts?" Wu Mei picked up the feather duster on the table and poked Li Hong. Within a few days of coming back, he had become quite good at meditating like an old monk.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm thinking that maybe my father doesn't need any magicians to help him see a doctor. As long as you let him eat less good food and let him eat more vegetarian food and exercise more, the situation may get better." Li Hong was confused. Said the brain.
Wu Meifeng rolled her eyes at him speechlessly and said: "You don't know what your father's temperament is. When has he ever wronged himself in terms of food? Do you want him to become a vegetarian? In the Mingtang set up by the Daming Palace, he has been doing this for a year now. If you can’t go there even once, you don’t have to think about being a vegetarian.”
The Mingtang was built by Wu Mei for the Sixth Patriarch Huineng's kapok cassock and some precious Buddhist treasures, and she herself would occasionally go there to meditate and worship the Buddha.
Li Hong nodded. His father's disease in his previous life was vertigo, which is similar to Ménière's syndrome. Its clinical manifestations are recurrent rotational vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus and ear fullness.
And it mostly occurs between the ages of thirty and fifty, which is why Li Zhi began to suffer from such symptoms after he entered his thirties, and finally died of the disease at the age of fifty-four.
However, this disease is not impossible to treat. Although it may be difficult to meet the current conditions, there is still no problem in reducing the pain and burden.
After talking about Li Hong's entry into the palace tomorrow, Wu Mei began to ask about what happened in Anxi in the past few years. Then as the mother and son chatted, Wu Mei began to talk about his marriage.
Regarding this matter, Li Hong knew that he had no say. If he dared to tell Wu Mei that marriage should be free and I want to find a princess myself, I'm afraid the feather dusters on the table would fly all over the sky again.
Li Hong also knew what was going on, and happily left it to the parents to make the decision. He just vaguely mentioned his own requirements, which were that he must be well-educated, well-educated, and well-established...at least he must be half as beautiful as his mother.
Wu Mei rolled her eyes at him. In the entire palace, including the East Palace, his East Palace was in short supply of beautiful maids.
Especially those around me, look at Bai Chun, Xia Zhi, Xiao Xue, and the Banmei and Xun Lan that I carefully selected for myself back then. In the end, they all took advantage of this little brat.
Wu Mei looked at Li Hong's earnest eyes, which seemed to indicate that the happiness of his life was in her hands. She waved her hands irritably, then stood up to go back to the palace.
Li Lingyue originally wanted to stay in the East Palace, but she was afraid of the smell of alcohol, so she reluctantly followed Wu Mei to the Daming Palace.
As for the two unlucky guys who were still kneeling at the door, Li Xian and Li Zhe, Wu Mei said coldly when they walked past: "Kneel down until sunset, and then go back to me to reflect. Without my order, You are not allowed to step out of the mansion.”
At this moment, Li Xian and Li Zhe, who were no longer drunk at all, heard Wu Mei's cold words, immediately nodded their heads, and kept apologizing to Wu Mei.
I spent a leisurely afternoon with Li Shangjin and Li Sujie, drinking tea and chatting in the tea room. In short, the three of them talked about all the complicated things in the past few years.
As for the matter about the boss, Li Shangjin and Li Sujie looked at each other, but they still couldn't hold it back, and finally couldn't help but bring it up.
After all, the royal family has always been known for its ruthlessness, although the arrival of Li Hong, a strange flower, has changed the coldness and ruthlessness of many royal families and made the entire palace seem to have some human touch.
But the two brothers had no idea what would happen if they played tricks on royal principles.
Neither of them were princes valued by Li Zhi, and it was impossible for them to be valued by the current queen. Now that Li Hong, the prince of the East Palace, is as stable as a mountain, there is no possibility of the queen changing again.
Therefore, the two people's inquiries seemed to be making a worst-case understanding and plan for their future future variables. Just like when people are uncertain about their future and are looking around at a loss, they will seek fortune-telling from Taoist priests, hoping to see their future through this matter.
Li Hong naturally knew what the two of them were thinking, and he didn't hide anything at all. He told everything about what happened on the way back.
As for the future of Li Zhong and Helan Minyue, Li Hong still wanted to let it take its course, especially Helan Minyue. After his mother left Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi behind, Helan Minyue's fate became more variable. .
Li Zhong is afraid that no one will pay attention to his existence. He has been to the place where Bai Suni was imprisoned and the stone murals were carved. It is an exaggeration to say that it is uninhabited for thousands of miles, but at least it is true that there is no human trace in a radius of a hundred miles. .
If Li Zhong can still make waves there, Li Hong feels that even if he dies at the hands of Li Zhong in the future, he will have nothing to say.
What's more, it's not up to me to decide how to deal with Li Zhong. For the time being, I can only let nature take its course, or it depends on my father's mood.
The two nodded thoughtfully, drank tea with Li Hong, and prepared to get up and leave.
As for their place to stay at night, after entering Chang'an, the eunuchs from the palace had already arranged it for them in Chang'an City, so Li Hong didn't need to worry about it.
Moreover, Li Hong wanted to force the two of them to live in the East Palace, but it was difficult for Li Shangjin and Li Sujie. He was just looking for trouble. If his father knew about it, he and Li Hong must be in peace, so the two of them didn't know if they could Returned to the fiefdom intact.
