When Li Zhi was far away, he saw a prince who looked like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken, standing under the eaves with a silly smile, so he walked over with a sullen face.
Li Hong heard a voice coming from his side and turned around quickly, only to see his father looking at him with a long face as if someone owed him 30 million taels of silver.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no. How is your dance rehearsal going? Do you want me to listen to it first and see if I can give you some advice?"
"Huh, just you? Let's forget it." Li Zhi snorted coldly and started walking along the eaves corridor towards the harem.
"I think it's okay. If you listen to it twice more, you'll think it's quite tasty, right?" Li Hong followed, and Mother Long asked her to go have dinner with her, so she had to walk behind Father Long.
"What's your name? Taiping lyrics, right? The beautiful scenery of Hangzhou is unparalleled, and the exotic flowers and plants on the West Lake shore are fragrant for four seasons..." Li Zhi cleared his throat, and he felt as soon as he sang the second sentence I feel like vomiting.
"You have to turn it up a little, lower it a little. I'll get you two more boards, one in each hand. Once you have a rhythm, it will sound better." Li Hong followed Li Zhi shamelessly. Behind the butt, there is a living appearance of a Japanese translator, doing his best to promote.
This was when he was having nothing to do with Bai Chun in Hangzhou, looking at the bamboos around the Bamboo Leaf Pavilion, and suddenly he was inspired, so he asked someone to cut down a bamboo and made two Allegro. He kept the original appearance a few times, not wanting Yan Lingbin to find out from Bai Chun, and then being regarded as a piece of shit by his father Long.
"Forget it, I can't appreciate your Taiping lyrics. You should listen to it by yourself in the East Palace. Why are you following me? What's the matter?" Li Zhi suddenly stopped and looked at the translator behind him and asked.
"Oh, my mother asked me to have lunch with her."
"real?"
"real."
"Are you sure it's true?"
"Isn't that great? As a prince, I won't always go to your harem for food, right? It's not like I don't have food in the East Palace." Faced with Father Long's questioning, someone felt that the food in the East Palace was being looked down upon!
Li Zhi looked Li Hong up and down, as if to confirm how credible his words were, and then remembered the business and asked: "How was the conversation with Belus?"
"It's early. It's one thing whether the Great Eater will attack because of Yeyue. Furthermore, there is a Tocharian in the middle. Although the Great Eater is the only one who obeys orders now, there are also a few like Belus. It is related to the year management, so this Tochara is not monolithic. After the first day, I will make a decision based on the actual situation..."
"But... I heard that Chengyang has been rushing to produce various winter supplies for the Ministry of War in the past few days. Don't you want to fight against the cannibals now? Fight when it's time to fight. Our Tang Dynasty is rich and powerful, and the people are strong, and we have elite soldiers and generals. Like the crucian carp crossing the river, how can it be afraid of a big meal like this?" Li Zhi said with his hands behind his back, like a black boss.
What did Li Hong think of his father Long? Why did he feel that he was just watching the fun and not afraid of big trouble? He smiled and said: "Dashi is not a small country. They must be so powerful because they have their faults." You must not underestimate them, let alone convey your attitude of underestimating the enemy to the courtiers and soldiers, otherwise we may lose the battle. After all, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. "
"Humph, I don't care about you. I don't go to court, govern, or dispatch troops. Winning or losing is all your business, Li Hong. What does it have to do with me." After Li Zhi finished speaking, he didn't even look up. After returning, he walked into Penglai Hall.
Someone behind him was stunned for a moment, looking at Father Long's arrogant back, he couldn't help shouting: "It's not... you... you are the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
"Now you are the prisoner of the country." His words were so light that no one could answer them. He could only stand in the cold wind, like a leaf, and his heart felt cold.
Princess Xincheng and Princess Lanling had already returned to their homes, so this lunch became a lunch for Li Zhi and Wu Mei to denounce Li Hong. Under forced circumstances, someone had no choice but to giggle and win today. The banknote was handed over intact to his mother, Long.
Seeing Wu Mei picking up the banknotes, counting them happily, and then standing up to put the banknotes, Li Zhi threw a chopstick at Li Hong, who was looking at the proud back of Mother Long with a sad face.
"Why don't you say anything? Have you forgotten what I told you?" Li Zhi glanced at Wu Mei who had disappeared. Needless to say, he must have hidden the banknotes, so he took the opportunity to ask hurriedly.
"I haven't forgotten it." Li Hong reached out to catch the chopsticks reflexively, handed it to the palace maid next to him, and then continued: "But the queen mother didn't give me a chance."
"Speak quickly when you come over soon, otherwise, I will accuse you!" Li Zhi warned.
Someone's brows knitted together again, how could he tell his mother? Mother, please let Concubine Xiao Shu come back and restore her status as Concubine Shu. Isn't it appropriate to live alone outside
"Does this have anything to do with you?" Wu Mei looked at Li Hong. When she was cashing out the check, her happy expression was replaced by a livid expression.
"No...it doesn't matter." Someone had no choice but to lower his head, glance at Li Zhi secretly, and then put his head in his mouth to eat.
"Go back to your east palace." Wu Mei looked at the careless food, which tasted so delicious that she was disgusted.
"My son, I haven't eaten enough yet." Li Hong raised his head, holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, blinking his innocent eyes and said.
"Go back to your East Palace to eat if you're not full. I don't have food for you here. Wang Lou, take the bowls and chopsticks out of his hands." Wu Mei continued inhumanely.
Li Zhi on the side saw Wu Mei getting furious, so he symbolically pretended to be helpless and hesitated to speak, and secretly shrugged his shoulders towards Li Hong.
But I was glad in my heart: Fortunately, I didn't propose it myself. Otherwise, I would have to live in Zichen Hall again in the past few days, and Penglai Hall would definitely not welcome me.
Someone who was kicked out from the Penglai Hall looked up and asked Heaven for justice without saying anything. However, after a cold wind passed by, someone finally walked to the East Palace wisely.
Just in the wind, there are vague complaints: I know that this kind of thing cannot be solved by money. Yesterday, Concubine Xiao Shu lost money to her mother, and she wants to return to the palace today? How could such a good thing happen? Also, why do you always ask me to do such things that offend my mother? Sigh... It's hard to be a son, especially the eldest son.
Mangzhong and Jingzhe on both sides could only follow him dutifully. They did not feel there was anything wrong with the injustice His Highness the Crown Prince had just suffered.
Just as he walked to the entrance of Li Zheng Hall, he met Bai Chun, who looked like he was about to go out. He looked curiously at the fairy in an elegant blue shirt and skirt with a white fur coat. He wanted to ask where he was going, but he was driving the carriage towards the door. He walked quickly and said while dealing with him: "I have to run an errand for the Queen. It's too late to explain."
Then the carriage carried the white goblin and quickly drove away from the East Palace, leaving someone standing in the cold wind of the East Palace again.
Returning to Li Zhengdian in boredom, Xiaoxue kept looking at him from time to time with a pair of talking eyes, waiting for him to talk to her.
"Just tell me if you have anything to do. I keep following you everywhere like a ghost and not talking. It's very scary, okay?" Li Hong sat in the study, thinking about whether he should go to Prince Wu's Mansion. Ask Concubine Xiao Shu what she meant.
"The Imperial College's sacrificial wine, the bachelor of Hongwen Hall, and the head of the family with the fifth surname and Qiwang are waiting for you in Chongwen Hall." Xiaoxue lowered her head and peeked at Li Hong with raised eyes.
"Let's wait for two days. Let's talk after the first day. I don't want to see you now, okay?" Li Hong always felt strange. She was the one who reported it in the morning, and she is still reporting it now. Could it be that there is something wrong with the Imperial College, the Hongwen Hall, or the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes? what relationship
"Then... Okay, I'm going down this slave." Xiaoxue lowered her head, pouted, and prepared to walk out of the study.
"Come back." Li Hong stopped Xiaoxue who was about to go out, looked at her playfully and said, "Isn't it still Yan Zhaofu who is offering the imperial wine at the Imperial Academy? Where is the Hongwen Hall? Is it the same Su Jing from before?"
"Your Majesty, yes." Xiaoxue lowered her head and was pulled to her by Li Hong. She looked at His Highness holding her hand and replied.
"Does Yan Zhaofu have something to do with you, or does Su Jing have something to do with you? Why are you so concerned? You are not a person with the fifth surname and Qi Wang." Li Hong sat on the chair, leaning over and looking at the man with his head lowered. Xiaoxue, but for some reason, Xiaoxue's eyes were slightly red, obviously she was about to cry.
"No." Xiaoxue shook her head and whispered.
"Then why are you so concerned? If you have any secrets, tell me and I will make the decision for you." Li Hong straightened up, held Xiaoxue's waist, put Xiaoxue on his lap, held her in his arms and asked softly .
"It has something to do with it." Xiaoxue lowered her head and continued to whisper.
"Is it related at all?" Li Hong began to think about it and said, "Your surname is Su, and you are from the Su family in Zhaozhou, Hebei Province... Su Jing?"
"We are close neighbors from afar, but... I have a cousin... who is now serving as the school secretary in Hongwen Hall. He hopes to entrust your Majesty to ask His Highness to meet the five surnames." Xiaoxue's chin almost dropped to her own. Her plump breasts came up and she whispered with red eyes.
"What's your name?" Li Hong squeezed Xiaoxue's little hand and asked lightly.
Xiaoxue's original name was Su Xue. Like other prostitutes in the palace, she was selected by the court from among the people since she was a child and then hired into the palace. On the first day after entering the palace, she was attracted by Wu Mei with her outstanding beauty, along with Xia Zhi and others. I fell in love with it and stayed with me.
Just like most Cai Nv, if you stay with the queen, you may gain the favor of the emperor and rise to great heights.
But by mistake, Li Hong's appearance robbed several of his father's palace members, and at the same time changed the fate of Xiaoxue and others.
Although they became female officials in the palace, their contact with their families was not completely severed. Therefore, Xiaoxue and the others could still go home for a period of time every year with Li Hong's permission.
And this also made her parents and relatives start to have ideas about her, and they began to feel that she was favored by His Highness the Crown Prince and had a successful career. Then they could use this relationship to facilitate themselves.
