Just like going to work every day, when someone Shi Shiran took Hua Meng and Jingzhe to the entrance of Li Zheng Palace, the newly married Crown Princess Pei Wanying, accompanied by Xiaoxue and Banmei, was already waiting for the Crown Prince. His Highness has returned to the palace.
Just like the couples of ordinary people, when Pei Wanying entered the East Palace, both Xiaoxue and Banmei and others were quiet for a while, and gradually became familiar with getting along with the Crown Princess in life, but as time went by, , the relationship between them has become more and more harmonious, and even at this time, the East Palace is somewhat like Li Hongwei before his wedding.
This is why Wu Meihui would say something every time she saw Pei Wanying: As a princess, you should take care of your husband.
But Pei Wanying's quiet temperament and the influence of Sun Simiao have made her regard some so-called etiquette less and less over the years. What's more, she likes the atmosphere of the East Palace now.
But the Queen Mother's will cannot be fulfilled. Every time after visiting Li Zhi and Wu Mei in the palace, Pei Wanying would return to the East Palace. Naturally, she would take the time to process these words, erase the Queen's meaning, and turn them into What I mean, and then tell His Highness.
Every time Li Hong heard this, he just smiled and nodded. He said, "What should I do in the East Palace the next day?" Pei Wanying didn't do anything, and Wu Mei, who was standing in the sky garden, didn't do anything either.
They would even provoke the idle emperor behind them, saying that they were just meddling in their own business. After a while, they would ask Taichang Temple and others to come over and give them a prescription in the East Palace to see who would dare to make big and small mistakes every day in the future.
Facing Li Zhi's understatement, Wu Mei turned around and rolled her eyes, looked at Li Zhi and asked: "Before Li Hong's wedding, even when he was marrying Xiaoxue and Bai Chun, which female official would dare to go over and touch someone's body or check someone's body?" Why didn’t you say anything about your health?”
"This is under the jurisdiction of the queen. I am the king of a country. How can I bother with the affairs of these women's families?" Li Hong is absolutely perfect in his sarcastic words and light words.
Wu Mei no longer paid attention to it. During this period of time, she had become accustomed to being light-weight when nothing happened. She liked to talk about the words and deeds of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to herself when nothing happened.
Instead, he turned around, continued to look in the direction of the East Palace, and murmured: "You said Li Hong is the same, why is he not willing to let the female officials in the palace check their bodies? Pei Wanying has not checked them either. It is said that this No one dares to touch Chen Jingzhi’s daughter now.”
"Then check on Yang Sijian's daughters. You can't check none of them. You have to be responsible for the descendants of the royal family. This is your responsibility as queen." Li Zhi listened to the footsteps coming from the stairs. It was obviously the ten-year-old Li Lingyue. He ran over.
"Yang Yu? I'm afraid Li Hong doesn't mean that anymore." Wu Mei looked out the window blankly. She was quite satisfied with Yang Yu, but she didn't know why Li Hong looked down on him.
"It doesn't matter if he means it or not, since he was selected in the first place, if you want to marry someone else, who would dare to go to Yang Sijian's house to propose marriage with that overlord-like prince? It's better to wait and see." Li Zhi has always been more decisive when it comes to relationships. Just like when he and Wu Mei were originally indecisive, he didn't listen to anyone's opinions on this matter, let alone those who objected.
Wu Mei thought thoughtfully, shaking her head from time to time. She always felt that this matter was not that simple. It seemed that Li Hong knew something, or that they had known each other before? What unpleasant things happened
But for a while, she couldn't figure it out. Li Lingyue, a girl who was already ten years old, ran over happily.
These days, they have been studying in Hongwen Hall and Guozijian. It is said that Shangguan Wan'er, the granddaughter of Shangguan Yi, Zhongshu Province Zhongshu Ling, has a bad temper. The two have to play together for a while every day before she is willing to Return to the palace.
"Mother, since the emperor doesn't want to marry that Yang Yu, let the emperor marry Shangguan Wan'er. She is also very beautiful and smart. She usually recites poems and essays as well as me. In this way we can Now that we can be together more often, she can come to the palace to see me like the emperor's sister-in-law if nothing happens. It's not as difficult as it is now to enter the palace once," Li Lingyue said as Li Hongbao's matchmaker.
Wu Mei turned her head, looked at Li Lingyue, whose face was a little red from climbing the stairs, and said with a smile: "Shangguan Wan'er, is she the little girl that I brought into the palace to play with you last time? But she is only a few years old. How old is your brother? Can you be a matchmaker? And it’s strange that you, a little guy, would be willing to play matchmaker."
"That's not necessarily true. Wan'er is one year older than me. She is already eleven years old this year. She is ready to be hired into the palace. Why don't you keep me company first, and then decide whether to marry the emperor?" Li Lingyue said with a small face. He was extremely serious, and Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh.
The royal family selects girls from the private sector, and it is true that they select girls between the ages of eleven and twenty, or even sixteen or seventeen years old. If it is more harsh, they will not choose them.
Now, in order to have a playmate, Li Lingyue did not hesitate to let the royal family invite Shangguan Yi's granddaughter into the palace. If Shangguanyi had heard about it, he would have gone home with his granddaughter. With Princess Taiping, this little devil, there would be no You will learn to be lawless in a few days.
"My mother talked about it today, why you have been showing weakness and not seeing the prince about the Dashi Kingdom. I also told my mother and father what you said, but it seems that my mother and father have different opinions. But you, everything will be done in the future. You can't let your temper go any longer. Now you are in charge of the country. The civil and military officials of the court, the father, the emperor, and the queen are all watching. Everything must be done..." Pei Wanying looked at someone and suddenly kissed her on the mouth. I could only sigh and said softly: "It's like this every time. Once I talk about this, you interrupt me and don't let me talk anymore."
"Remember, you just need to bring my words to the emperor and the queen. As for whether the emperor and the queen have different opinions on my supervision of the country, you should keep it in your heart. This is not the first time to supervise the country. There are some things in the court that cannot be understood by the father who has not been in charge of politics for a long time, even when he was in charge..." Li Hong felt his lips heat up, but he didn't expect Pei Wanying to imitate him just now. As if, he secretly came to his lips and kissed him.
"I won't talk anymore, but you can't talk nonsense anymore." After kissing Li Hong, Pei Wanying quickly looked around the main hall of Lizheng Palace to see if anyone had seen the scene just now.
Li Hong looked at Pei Wanying and smiled tenderly, took her little hand, and slowly walked towards the harem garden, which was already full of colorful flowers. The maids and eunuchs behind him signaled that they did not need to follow, and the two of them joined hands. , go to the back garden.
"How's it going? It's been almost two months since I've been in the palace. Are you still used to it?"
"Absolutely. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to enter the palace and meet my father and mother a few times before. In addition, I also come here from time to time, so... it can't be said to be anything strange." Pei Wanying looked around and saw no one around, then relaxed. Confused, while holding Li Hong's hand, he looked back at Li Hong with a smile on his face and said.
Let Pei Wanying hold his hand and walk backwards, Li Hong sighed and said: "In a few days, your father will probably leave your mother and go to Lingnan. After going this time, I'm afraid the time will not be too short. So, after these few days, when your father is done with his work, you can go back and spend more time with them, so you don’t have to stay in the East Palace every day."
"Ah? Is this... is this appropriate? If my mother knew about it, wouldn't it make her unhappy? Not long after I married into the East Palace, I ran to my parents' house every day. Wouldn't that make people make irresponsible remarks? Wouldn't that be right? Are you worse? Those Yushi Yanguan are all..." Pei Wanying was startled and asked anxiously, then blinked around, imitating the Yushi Yanguan's behavior.
Li Hong looked at the two small dimples, rippling on Pei Wanying's beautiful cheeks like whirlpools. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Yushi Yanguan will only treat you as filial, not as a filial piety." I came here to impeach because I was homesick.”
"Really?" Pei Wanying looked up at Li Hong and asked with certainty.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Li Hong blinked at her, looked at another woman sitting by the pool not far away, and was picking fish hooks with the palace maid, and said with a faint smile: " When did she become so interested in fishing?”
Bai Qi had obviously gained a lot of weight. He originally followed An Xiaohe here to fish, but he smelled the scent of Li Hong and Pei Wanying early in the wind, so he left An Xiaohe and walked over here.
Pei Wanying was under the pavilion. After Li Hong sat down, she stretched involuntarily and immediately showed off her tall and graceful figure. Then she looked at the chubby Bai Qi walking over, sat down slowly and said, " It's been a while since I had no time to take care of her, or I was following Xiaoxue and the others to learn some palace etiquette and etiquette. I'm afraid it was too boring, so I came here to enjoy myself fishing and relieve my nervousness. "
Li Hong nodded and said helplessly: "It's a little difficult for her, like a canary trapped in a cage, losing her freedom."
"Shh... you can't say that. Neither I nor Sister An have ever felt that this is the case. Your Highness has been a little busy these days. It would be nice to spend some time together. We are usually together. , Xiaoxue and others are all very happy, and do not feel unhappy at all, and... because of your order, in this imperial city, we are not confined to the palace as in the legend, but You can go out if you want, even Sister An is very satisfied." Pei Wanying still had a smile on her face, but it didn't look like she was faking it or trying to reassure Li Hong.
