"The mountain is not high, if there are immortals, it will be famous. If the water is not deep, there will be dragons. This is a humble house, but I am virtuous. The moss marks are green on the steps, and the grass is green in the curtains. There are great scholars talking and laughing, and there are no white people coming and going. It can be adjusted Plain Qin, reading golden scriptures. No messy ears of silk and bamboo, no traces of paper. Confucius said: "What's wrong with this?" In her clothing, she looked elegant and elegant. In addition, as she was narrating this short article, she seemed to have the demeanor of a scholarly family and a lady, which was completely different from her usual appearance when teasing Li Ye and Li Ye.
"Inscription on the humble room? These days, I have been staying in the East Palace every day, never leaving the door. I am in the East Palace except when going to court, and then he wrote such a short article for me? Mr. An Shizi, on the occasion of the Lantern Festival , which one is not boasting about the flourishing of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of the country and the people, come to him..." Li Zhi put down the brush and didn't have time to understand it carefully, so he started to blame Li Hong based on his first feeling.
Wu Mei took Li Lingyue's little hand and stood up. She looked at Li Zhi's powerful handwriting. After reading it carefully, she said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't you understand yet? This is the beginning of how to use words to advise you. Stop giving advice." It’s a palace that works together with the people.”
Li Zhi turned his head, his face was dark and expressionless, and he was pacing with his hands behind his back: "Frame it, I want to build a palace, he will play with you about realm, you tell him about realm, he will reason with you, you tell him Reason, he competes with you! Why can Li Hong do anything now, but I can’t build a palace? "
Wu Mei savored the short article carefully. It seemed to be a short article, but it perfectly presented a person's noble character and pursuit of a free and easy state. The mountains of admiration, confidence and pride between the lines were vividly displayed on the page.
And use this to tell his father that the auspiciousness overseas is bestowed on the world, and that benefiting the people and the country is the real merit. The merit of building a palace to show imperial power is obviously compared to the high-spirited, free and easy freehand style of this "Inscription on the Humble Room". His temperament has fallen behind.
"What did you say? You gave Shangguan Yi an article? Did you recite it secretly? Did you also give many instructions not to tell me or your mother?" Li Zhi stared, lowered his head slightly, and looked at the man who was almost as tall as him. Li Lingyue on her shoulder asked in surprise.
"Well, as long as it's for Shangguan Yi, let Shangguan Yi comment on his latest experience, and if you think it's good, just give it back to him in the court." Li Lingyue nodded and said.
"This is not asking Shangguan Yi to criticize. This is to use the public reputation of this article to put pressure on him and me!" Li Zhi gritted his teeth. The little bastard no longer wants to confront me head-on. A roundabout tactic.
Wu Mei looked at Li Lingyue with a sincere face strangely. This little girl had been smart and smart since she was a child. She had been fighting wits and courage with her royal brother for more than a day or two. Could she not understand Li Hong's instructions to her
Couldn't she see that Li Hong's numerous instructions to her were just to tell His Majesty and herself this short article through her own words
"What's wrong with the queen? Are there flowers on my face? Or is it that my son has become beautiful again?" Li Lingyue looked at Wu Mei's eyes that seemed to see through the depths of her heart, and hurriedly interrupted Wu Mei's thoughts and asked .
"I'm not ashamed. How can anyone in this world praise themselves for their beauty?" Wu Mei rolled her eyes at Li Lingyue who felt good about herself and said.
Then she decisively gave up reminding Li Zhi that she originally disapproved of His Majesty building a palace to work with the people. Now with this extremely excellent article and the pressure from the courtiers, His Majesty must naturally want to do this. Consider it carefully again.
"Yes, the emperor praises himself in the mirror every day. Oh, why am I so handsome? Why am I getting more and more handsome? Why am I getting more handsome every day? Otherwise, just hugging Li Ye, you Why are you so beautiful? Why are you getting more and more beautiful? How come you are getting more beautiful every day?" Li Lingyue shrugged her shoulders, her expression looked very exaggerated. It was obvious that her words just now were inferior to those of the emperor's brother. Thousands of miles.
"Can't you learn from him? Why don't you learn from his bad deeds as soon as you touch them? Why don't you learn from them? This "Inscription on the Humble Room" obviously your brother also put a lot of thought into it, otherwise , how could it be possible to write such a high-quality article? In the future, it is more serious to learn more from your imperial brother." Wu Mei looked at the fourteen-year-old Li Lingyue, feeling a little worried about whether this child could get married.
Both Li Zhi and Chengyang intended to betroth Li Lingyue to Princess Chengyang's son Xue Shao, but... Li Lingyue now seems to have no such idea at all.
Following the wishes of Li Zhi and Chengyang, Xue Shao and Li Lingyue were allowed to be alone for a while. However, every time they played together when they were young, Xue Shao always went back crying, with tears and runny noses. Li Lingyue returned to the palace happily every time.
Perhaps because of his young age, it would be better to wait and see when he grows up. Even Li Hong believes that if Li Lingyue can marry Xue Shao, it will be a great joy for the royal family.
But maybe Xue Shao played with Li Lingyue when he was a child, and being teased left a psychological shadow. Every time he saw Li Lingyue, Xue Shao felt as if he had met Li Zhi, even more nervous than meeting Li Zhi, with his face flushed. , behaves submissively, and doesn't look like a man at all.
Fortunately, when Li Hong was away from Chang'an when he got older, if Li Lingyue asked Xue Shao for help, Xue Shao would happily agree. Every time he got something done, he didn't ask Li Lingyue to praise him, as long as he didn't Just say that he is not half as good as the imperial brother.
Wu Mei watched the father and daughter talking in silence, and sighed helplessly in her heart again. Li Lingyue was proud and arrogant. Nowadays, the standard for finding a prince-in-law has always been to follow Li Hong's example. Wen can bring peace to the world with his pen, and Wu can mount a horse. The world is determined, but there is only one prince in the world, and there is only one person who does not respect the royal etiquette.
Where can I find a second one for you? There is a second one, she is Li Lingyue. Wu Mei and Li Zhi have already broken their hearts with these two people. If there is one more consort, what kind of chaos will the royal family be in
"Okay, then you tell him that most of the new etiquette that was changed because of him in the Xianqing year was because he was established as the crown prince and did not follow the ancient etiquette. Now I am not satisfied with it, and I plan to do it. From now on, the five rituals: auspicious, inauspicious, military, guest, and wedding (marriage) will all be performed according to the Zhou rites." Li Zhi crossed his legs and said to Li Lingyue leisurely.
"Father, can you not let me go? Can you send Huaji?" Li Lingyue's little face was about to wrinkle into a ball, and she shook Li Zhi's arm in begging pleading.
"Do you have anything to ask him for? Otherwise, you would have volunteered to do this kind of thing? He has often sold you out once or twice, so why are you helping him this time? "What?" Li Zhi was very curious. The little girl usually wished that Li Hong would be scolded by herself and the queen eight times a day. What happened today that she started to avoid Li Hong
"No way, I just think that this is a matter between you and the imperial brother. It is not convenient for me to participate. What's more, this is a court affairs. I am just a princess. If I am punished by the imperial brother for disturbing the government affairs, I, Princess Taiping, will Your reputation will be ruined." Li Lingyue hurriedly denied it and said defensively.
"You must have something to ask him. Tell me, my father can help you, right? This world still belongs to my father, so he still doesn't dare to sit on the throne every time he goes to court? Tell me your difficulties, for my father's sake? You make the decision." Li Zhi assured Li Lingyue confidently, patting his chest.
"I really have nothing to do with him." Li Lingyue denied with a small mouth.
Now in her heart, who doesn't know that the country of the Tang Dynasty and the court of the Daming Palace are all decided by His Royal Highness Prince Li Hong.
As for the father, hehe, he is just an emperor in name only. Otherwise, would it be so laborious to build a palace that works with the people? He also used Zhou rituals to blackmail others into agreeing to him.
Haha, I, Li Lingyue, will not be fooled.
"But about Xue Shao?" Wu Mei picked up the clue from the sidelines and looked at Li Lingyue's pretty face, a blush gradually appeared on her face. It seemed that the fourteen-year-old girl was starting to get emotional.
"Xue Shao? What does it have to do with him? I have nothing to do with the imperial brother. I just think... "The Inscription on the Humble Room" is right." Li Lingyue planned to fight to the end, and this time she stood firmly on her imperial brother's side.
Li Zhi looked at the upright Li Lingyue and couldn't help but lament in his heart. What father doesn't want to be the protector of his daughter? What father doesn't want his daughter to treat him like an omnipotent god
But Li Lingyue didn't see it that way now. She began to use her own eyes and thoughts to judge a matter, who was useful in Datang and who was useless.
Obviously, as the emperor now, he is not as important in Li Lingyue's heart as the prince in the East Palace.
"Alas..." Li Zhi shook his head and sighed: "I am old and no longer useful. It is enough for the prince to confront me. Now even the princess whom I cherish the most feels that I am useless and not as good as her royal brother. , alas... sad, deplorable... "
"Okay, put away your sighing look. Li Lingyue has already run away. Are you doing it to show me?" Wu Mei looked at Li Lingyue, and when Li Zhi sighed for the first time, she ran away secretly. The figure walking out angrily reminded the lonely old man next to him.
"Ah? She ran away. The damn girl ran away so fast? She didn't feel sorry for her father at all!" The frown on Li Zhi's face disappeared completely, and then he looked at Wu Mei and asked gossiping: "What's going on in Chengyang recently? News? Are these two kids really close now?"
Wu Mei also sighed and said with empty eyes: "Two days ago, Cheng Yang came to the palace and told me that Xue Shao wanted to join the army. He was still lamenting why Xue Shao, who had never been fond of the army, suddenly changed his temper. Well, now it seems that it was probably Li Lingyue who was instigating this."
