Along the way down the Yongji Canal, and with the weather getting colder and the biting wind, Li Zhi was too lazy to stop at local states and counties. In ordinary states and counties, Li Zhi chose to meet Wu Ya at the pier. In the end, Li Zhi got two battleships to show the majesty of the royal family.
The royal banquet on the Five-Tooth Battleship flattered the state and county officials, and made these officials feel as if they were in a state of ecstasy when they disembarked and returned home. This was an opportunity they would never have had in ordinary times.
Moreover, it had been eight months since Li Zhi came out. He was already in love with his family and couldn't wait to return to the palace, especially he couldn't wait to see Queen Wu Mei immediately.
It has been almost six months since Li Hong came out, so the father and son made the greeting ceremony for officials along the way much more concise. They did not make too many stops before setting sail again.
But even so, it would take them a month to arrive at Chang'an from the Songmo Governor's Mansion, enough to meet each other. At this time, the emperor's trip was so grand.
The tall body had not worn armor since he left the Songmo Governor's Mansion. He wore an elegant black round-neck robe, giving people a cold and majestic feeling.
In Li Zhi's eyes, he looks a bit like a prince, but his long-standing laziness has not changed. He has to tie his hair, something that every Tang Dynasty person needs to do. Li Zhi doesn't understand why he has become so lazy. It’s so difficult here!
That's all in Liaodong. He had a helmet on his head and let's not talk about his disheveled hair. Now that he is going back to Luoyang, this guy still didn't tie up his hair, so he tied it into a ponytail with a red cloth. He walked in with a dome suitcase in his hand.
Behind them, Hua Meng and Jing Zhe, who were also carrying the same elegant dome suitcases, followed Li Hong in and saluted Li Zhi.
Li Zhi was sitting by the window at this time, and Zhang Lushui was standing in the middle of the cabin singing Yingying. When he saw Li Hong coming in, he put down his figure, saluted Li Hong, and then stood with another woman of similar age. Behind Li Zhi.
"What are you doing here? How did you get here?" There were two five-tooth battleships, one for each person. When they set sail, he was still on the one behind him. Why did he run over with a suitcase in the blink of an eye? Li Zhi looked at someone The playful smile gave me a deep feeling of a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken.
"Ah? It's easy. Just put up a wooden board and come over." Someone put down the suitcase, and Hua Meng and Jingzhe began to open it one by one. Suddenly, an appetizing aroma filled the entire huge ship hall. .
Li Zhi didn't understand how easy it was for him. Two ships were sailing on the Yongji Canal, and they could get over by just setting up a plank? But Li Hong said so, and he had no choice but to be serious with him. He turned around and looked at the scenery on the river bank, then turned back again.
He sniffed the delicacies placed on the table vigorously and said unmoved: "What exactly do you want to do? Tell me directly. Your Li Hong's attentive food is not so easy to swallow."
"We have been walking for a month now. We will arrive in Luoyang in two days. I want to make a plan with you." Li Hong tentatively sat down in front of Li Zhi. Seeing that Father Long didn't respond, he said seriously He leaned his butt on the chair.
As Hua Meng and Jing Zhe's hands flew up and down in the suitcase, in a short while, some exquisite side dishes and plates of raw meat were placed on the table, and then a shiny brass hot pot, It was placed in the center.
"Since your father is enjoying listening to music today, I will bring you some fine wine and food to entertain you. How about it? You should be filial." Li Hong looked at Father Long who had a disgusted expression on his face and continued. He licked his face and smiled.
"Filial piety? I think it's a joke!" Li Zhi looked at Erpilian and sat opposite him consciously, sighed in his heart, and said coldly.
"Okay, you all can go down. Hua Ji can just stay and serve." Li Hong looked at Hua Meng and Jingzhe who had finished their work, then looked at Yang Wu and Lian Tie who were serving on one side, and waved his hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Lushui and Silla Princess Jin Rongqi saluted Li Zhi and prepared to step out of the cabin.
"You two, please stay and enjoy the delicious food that the prince is so attentive to with me." Seeing that these two beauties were about to leave, Li Zhi immediately stopped him and said, in response to the order for Yang Wu and Lian Tie to go out, Li Zhi didn't even pay attention to it and let Li Hong make the decision.
Li Hong smiled and said nothing. He worked on the table and signaled Huaji to pour the wine. Then he saw that under Li Zhi's order, Zhang Lushui and Jin Rongqi timidly stood on Li Zhi's side, one on the left and the other on the right. Zhi sat down on both sides.
Li Hong also had to admit that both Zhang Lushui and Jin Rongqi had the characteristics of beauties from the Korean Peninsula. They were of medium height, slightly plump figure, extremely fair skin, curved eyebrows, and small cherry mouth. .
Zhang Lushui's eyes are slightly charming, perhaps because Gaozang of Goguryeo specially prepared them for Li Zhi, so her graceful body, every smile, and every gesture will make the man focus on her with her charming eyes. on her.
Compared with the down-to-earth Zhang Lushui, Jin Rongqi, because of the long-term influence of his royal genes, although it seems to Li Hong that he is still a virgin, the pride on his chest is actually a lot more than that of Zhang Lushui. The grip should attract the eye.
Coupled with her noble and elegant temperament, exquisite and clear eyes, and exquisite and perfect facial features, people can't help but feel love and affection after seeing her. Every moment of silence and movement, there is a charming charm.
When only Hua Meng, Li Hong, and Li Zhi and the two girls were left in the entire cabin, Li Hong complained with a bitter face: "My father, can you restrain yourself a little bit?" ah."
"What's wrong with me?" Li Zhi asked lightly, stroking Jin Rongqi's hand as if he was admiring a beautiful piece of jade.
It is still a problem for the two of them to communicate in Tang dialect, and they can only communicate through thoughts and body language, so until now, Li Zhi still does not let Jin Rong beg to sleep with him, and usually lets Zhang Lushui accompany him.
"We are about to arrive in Chang'an. You are so arrogant and blatant, and then meet with local officials. Aren't you afraid that this matter will be spread to the ears of your mother?" Li Hong signaled to Li Zhi with his eyes, what he said was Two people beside you.
Hearing the word "mother and queen" in Li Hong's mouth, Li Zhi, who had always been strict with his wife, put down Jin Rongqi's jade hand and asked: "By the way, has your mother arrived in Luoyang now?"
"It seems we've arrived, right?"
"It will probably take us two or three days to reach Luoyang. After we get off the ship, according to your plan, I will be separated from them for a while..."
"No, no, no, I don't know anything, I don't know anything, I don't know what you are talking about, this is all your own private matter..."
"Asshole, I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can I talk about private matters? Family matters are state affairs, let alone things like this..."
"Okay, okay, don't scare me. Just tell me what you want me to do. I just obey the order."
Li Zhi looked at the courtiers and nodded with satisfaction. Hua Ji served Li Zhi and cooked hot pot with Zhang Lushui and Jin Rongqi. But at this moment, someone had to fend for himself and could only use chopsticks to scoop it up. The meat was eaten.
Deer antlers, bear bile, tiger and wolf tonics, these were sent by local ministers when he returned to Chang'an. Li Hong passed by the imperial dining room of the Five-Tooth Battleship and brought them over. Now his father is a I'm afraid Long Erfeng lacks this.
Li Zhi looked at Li Hong who readily agreed, and stared at Li Hong's increasingly handsome, mature, and handsome face for a long time before he said: "I have thought about it. I plan to build a villa in Chang'an..."
"No, what do you mean?" Li Hong almost got burned and hurriedly spat out the meat in his mouth in front of Li Zhi and asked hurriedly.
"Whether it is Zhang Lushui or Jin Rongqi, I have thought about it for a long time. Even if your mother agrees, will the ministers agree? Will they be allowed to enter the palace? Can they enter the clan? Who would..."
"No... you mean, are you planning to give me a little brother or sister?" Li Hong could feel his heart beating loudly. This is such a big deal!
Historically, after arriving at Princess Taiping's place, Father Long stopped having children with his concubines. However, looking at Father Long's serious expression now, why does he feel like he plans to give birth to a younger brother and younger sister for himself
"Why not? Among my brothers and sisters, isn't your Xincheng aunt only thirty-seven now? But my aunt is the youngest? Do you know how old Princess Chang Le is? That's when you stole someone else's wine and were forced by Chang Le Calling her daughter's aunt..."
"You don't need to talk about this kind of thing so carefully, right? Erchen knows that Princess Chang Le is two years younger than you. She is Erchen's aunt, your aunt, but... Erchen always feels unreliable... "
"Why is it unreliable?"
"Ask the queen mother if she agrees. I have no objection, but what will you do, queen mother, Li Lingyue? Li Lingyue is a little overlord now. If you give her some younger brothers and sisters, haha... just wait until the palace is overturned." Li Hong continued It struck Father Long that although this matter had no conflict of interest with him, he still felt as if he was no longer living in the Tang Dynasty, but in a different Tang Dynasty in a parallel time and space.
"So I want you to help me do your mother's work. These two people cannot enter my Li Tang clan, but they will be kept in Chang'an. When the time comes, I will also take Concubine Xiao Shu over. The three of them live in the same mansion, and your mother will also Out of sight and out of mind, your father and I can run to the palace and Chang'an at any time, just like Concubine Xiao Shu. We can still go there to rest and relax occasionally, right?"
"..." The emperor wanted to avoid the queen to raise his second, third and fourth wives! Li Hong looked straight at Father Long, who was spitting, and suddenly became a little confused.
