As Li Hong and Li Lingyue were fighting and crying in Penglai Hall, Li Zhi chased Wu Mei and took the trouble to ask Li Hong several times what he was doing. After that, Li Xian, Li Zhe and Li Dan came in a hurry. Arriving at Penglai Hall.
This luncheon was naturally a time for the prince and princess to express their admiration for their father, who was both wise and talented in martial arts, culture and martial arts. During this period, Li Zhi, under the congratulations of many courtiers, had obviously become accustomed to taking credit for Anton's achievements. He remembered everything on himself, so after the lunch, Li Zhi's cheerful mouth never closed.
He was even happier than listening to the congratulations of the courtiers in the court. As for drinking, Wu Mei had already started to limit Li Hong's drinking to him without having to say anything.
Although the swelling on Li Xian's face has long since disappeared, the tooth that was knocked out by Li Hong's slap cannot grow back. When he speaks, he is like Li Lingyue, leaking out of tune from time to time.
Li Zhe lived an inhumane life in Futu Camp during this period. When he didn't get up on time on the first day, he was reported to Li Hong for his lawlessness. At that time, Li Hong had not locked himself up in Taiyi City without seeing anyone. So he personally wrote a warrant depriving the British king of all treatment and treating him like an ordinary soldier.
So in this short period of one month, Li Zhe has become much tougher and darker, but the vigorous appearance that a young man should have makes him look more like a little man. .
Compared with Li Zhe, Li Dan's life is like that of Li Hong. These days, he has a lot of eggs. He orders people to take them out from the chicken coop early in the morning, and then sits with a few eggs every day. Studying the warm eggs inside or outside the house.
Li Dan even began to calculate how long the hen would hatch the eggs. When the hen was about to hatch, he would order someone to grab the eggs from under the hen's buttocks, and then crack them open to see if they were eggs or chickens.
But no matter what, now that he is only nine years old, he has begun to have the depth of a thinker and the mystery of a philosopher. During a luncheon, he rarely said a few words. Most of the time, in addition to dealing with Li Lingyue's teasing, he , just thinking about the philosophy in my mind: which came first, the chicken or the egg.
Wu Mei and Li Zhi looked at their princes and maids with satisfaction, especially Li Hong who had already vaguely possessed the late emperor's literary, Taoist and military strategies. Now they just have to hone his casual temperament, and he will be able to do it if he thinks about it. He is a wise monarch.
Among the remaining princes, Li Zhi and Wu Mei also knew it well. The two were now fighting fiercely. It seemed that the Xuanwu Sect incident and the grudge between Li Chengqian and Li Tai were being staged again, but Li Xian was... Like a tide, Li Hong had destroyed most of the forces, and now they were alone and weak. It would be impossible to challenge the position of the East Palace in a short time.
It is even impossible for a long time. In Li Zhi's view, as long as he makes up his mind to abdicate the throne to Li Hong before Li Xian's ambition revives, then the harmonious coexistence between the royal brothers that the late emperor never achieved will set an example for the people of the world. It is possible to be a role model in Li Hong's generation.
As for Li Zhe, both the emperor and the empress knew that the King of England's thoughts were not on the East Palace at all. What he admired most was Li Shen, King of Ji, and Li Zhen, King of Yue. Both of them enjoyed the reputation of virtuous kings among the common people in the world. , what Li Zhe is pursuing is obviously an idle prince.
As for Li Dan, Li Zhi and Wu Mei can't decide. After all, he is still young. Even if he is like Li Xian, by the time he becomes ambitious, Li Hong may have already firmly controlled the court in his hands. Well, regarding this point, the emperor and the queen had no doubt that Li Hong had this ability.
Li Lingyue, the apple of his eye, was full of favors for her from top to bottom. Naturally, there was no need to worry about what would happen to her. It was time for Li Hong to find a good family for her, or for the two of them to find a good family for Li Lingyue.
Li Zhi and Wu Mei looked at each other and couldn't help but smile knowingly when they looked at Li Hong and others sitting opposite, Li Lingyue on the left, Li Xian on the right, Li Dan on the lower left, and Li on the lower right. Zhe, if these people can really be as harmonious as they imagined, then it will not only be a blessing for the royal family, but also a blessing for the Tang Dynasty.
"Mother... was my son hatched by you?" Li Dan suddenly opened his mouth and said in a non-stop manner.
"Pfft..." The tea in Li Hong's mouth was not wasted at all, and all the tea was sprayed on the chest of Li Xian, who was glaring at him angrily: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to do it. I'll wipe it for you."
Li Hong looked at Li Xian's murderous eyes, ignored the tea at the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly wiped Li Xian's chest with the palace maid.
"What did you say?" Wu Mei's voice rose an octave, and she asked in shock when she saw Li Dan's serious thinking expression.
"Yes, you were probably hatched by the queen, so your father and queen named you Li Dan. Dan means egg, which means hatched..." Li Lingyue watched the excitement and was not afraid of big troubles. She looked at Li Dan next to her and added Knife Road.
But before he finished speaking, Li Hong, who had just wiped Li Xian's chest twice, covered his mouth: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Li Dan be that... what... right?"
"What the hell is going on here, Li Hong!" Wu Mei's face was ashen, with black lines all over her forehead!
A grape in his hand was quickly thrown towards Li Hong who was covering Li Lingyue's mouth. At this moment, Li Hong suddenly picked up Li Lingyue with both hands. Li Lingyue's mouth was released and he shouted almost at the same time: " I come."
So the brother and sister cooperated tacitly, and the grape in Wu Mei's hand happened to fly over. Li Lingyue, who had her mouth wide open, was also held in Li Hong's arms. With a click, Li Lingyue's mouth flew away, and the grape lightly hit Li Lingyue's On the forehead, and then came into Li Xian's arms.
"Uh... I didn't catch it." Li Lingyue sighed in frustration.
"What the hell is going on!" Wu Mei's forehead was filled with black lines at this moment. The brother and sister had cooperated in this way more than once to catch the food he threw at Li Hong.
"Um...Father and Queen, I suddenly remembered that I have an extremely important matter to deal with, so I'm leaving first." Li Hong hurriedly stood up with Li Lingyue in his arms and was about to slip away as he spoke.
"You dare to step out of the Penglai Palace for me, and don't step into my Penglai Palace again!" Wu Mei's face was still livid, and Li Zhi next to him looked at Wu Mei and Li Dan with a probing look, and then again Look at Li Hong.
"Li Dan was hatched. Who told you Dan'er?" Li Zhi called Li Dan'er, which made Li Lingyue, who was held in Li Hong's arms, burst into laughter, and then turned into laughter. No matter what Li Hong did, Even if Li Lingyue tried to stop him, it was as if he meant it. He was smiling because he was arrogant and wanted to be beaten.
Li Dan looked shocked when he heard Li Zhi's question. He finally returned from his philosophical world to the world of normal people. He looked at Li Zhi for a moment and then realized what he had just said. He was so scared that he covered his head. He opened his mouth and then hurriedly opened his mouth and said: "To the Emperor Father and the Queen Mother, I didn't mean to do it. I was just too focused on the problem just now..."
"Then how do you say you were hatched?" Li Lingyue once again succeeded in stealing the prize.
However, because of her wanton laughter just now, Wu Mei's expression softened. Looking at the little chubby face of the eighth child, Li Dan, who was a little anxious and didn't know how to explain it, the anger in Wu Mei's heart became thinner and thinner, but she This account was already placed on Li Hong's head.
If he hadn't raised the topic of which came first, the chicken or the egg, to Li Lingyue, Li Dan would not have suddenly asked such a question rashly.
Li Dan glanced at Li Lingyue who questioned him and retorted: "I didn't say it. It was the emperor who asked me to ask the queen mother if I was hatched."
"I... Li Dan, take out the things you want to show your father and mother. You can't explain them clearly for a while. Show your results to your father and mother, and they will understand." Li Hong saw Wu Mei suddenly stood up, the feather duster was held in her hand at some point, and she slowly walked towards him.
At this time, everyone else chose to see the results of Li Dan's research, so even Li Lingyue, the last-ditch expert, broke away from Li Hong's arms, took Li Zhi's hand, and jumped towards the other one. The room went away.
"Mother, I won't feel bad." Li Lingyue walked to the door, grabbed Li Zhi's hand, turned to look at Li Hong, who was standing there and didn't dare to move, and said with a grimace.
Everyone listened quietly to the whirring sound of the feather duster coming from inside, and could even hear the sound of the feather duster hitting people, but they did not hear the sound of Li Hong running around to avoid the feather duster shouting for mercy.
After a long while, it finally became quiet inside without a sound. Li Zhicai took Li Lingyue and Li Dan who were listening at the door to another room, and started to look at Li Dan's research results with Li Zhe and Li Xian.
In the original room, Wu Mei looked at Li Hong who was kneeling in front of her with a look of disbelief, letting herself be beaten just now and refusing to run away or beg for mercy, and murmured: "Li Hong, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay. When you were a child, you could run to avoid being beaten, because then the mother would be able to catch up. Now that the son has grown up, if he runs and hides again, the mother will not be able to catch up, so the queen will save some time to beat the son. Strength." Li Hong knelt on the ground, still straightening his body, and said with a smile.
Wu Mei frowned and looked at Li Hong, not understanding what Li Hong was thinking. She slowly lowered her feather duster and sat down on the chair, signaling Li Hong to get up and talk too.
Li Hong was not polite. After watching Wu Mei sit down, he pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Wu Mei. Looking at Wu Mei's eyes, he said sincerely: "If one day, my son does something wrong, If one day, my mother has to punish her son, if one day, we are no longer as harmonious and harmonious as we are now, I hope that in my memory, there will always be every detail of getting along with my mother. One day, in my mother’s memory, there will be memories of the filial piety of my children and all the memories that often made you angry.”
