Li Sujie and Li Shangjin did not come back this year, so until now, Li Hong had never visited Concubine Xiao Shu alone. Since returning to the Daming Palace, he has been seeing Concubine Xiao Shu in Tsing Yi Taoist robes every day.
Especially Li Sujie, who is the biological son of Concubine Xiao Shu, and has not been back to Chang'an for three years now. And it has been more than three years since Li Hong took charge of politics, right
"It seems so." Li Dan and Concubine Xiao Shu were sitting in the same carriage. Listening to Concubine Xiao Shu's questions, Li Dan just tinkered with the things in his hands and answered casually.
"Then will your imperial brother go to Qujiang Pool today? Didn't you say that some kind of theater will be built in Qujiang Pool? He did it all by himself. Even Yan Lingbin went, but he didn't go. Isn't it ridiculous?" Concubine Xiao Shu looked at it. As the night gradually enveloped the streets of Chang'an, the happy faces of the people and the busy streets made her feel even more depressed and lonely.
So this little fat Li Dan is a sensible person. He sees himself riding a carriage alone to follow his father and mother to Qujiang Pond. When the time comes, he will be obedient and sensible and run over to accompany him. He will be more attentive than Dong Gong when he is using him. The white-eyed wolf that I turned aside was much stronger.
"I don't know, I guess they will go. The emperor's sisters-in-law and others will go, even Miss Bai Chun, Li Ye, Li Ye, the Sixth Emperor's sister-in-law Fang Muqing, as well as Li Guangshun, Li Guangren and so on. Go, Uncle Ji, the others, and other royal relatives will go. It’s inappropriate for the prince not to go. Isn’t he afraid that his father and mother will deal with him then?” Li Dan raised his head and stopped holding his hand in frustration. Action, looking at Concubine Xiao Shu and saying.
This small square is really difficult to make. If you want to turn it all into the same color on each side, you really need to think about it carefully.
No wonder Li Lingyue played with it for a while and then threw it to herself because she felt it was too hard. She couldn't do it because she didn't know how to do it.
"You think your white-eyed wolf emperor brother is still the prince..."
"He is still a prince now. My father does not have a Zen position." Li Dan once again focused his attention on the cube in his hand and refuted Concubine Xiao Shu's words.
"Yes, he is still a prince, but the prince who manages the government, whether it is the previous dynasty, or the Han, Jin and other dynasties, if you look through the history books, has any prince in any dynasty been as powerful as him? He has not yet ascended the throne. He is in charge of the power of the empire, and your father still has to beg him to take the throne, and he is still not happy. What is this if he is not a white-eyed wolf? You can never imitate him." Concubine Xiao Shu pinched Zhi Zhi lovingly, and said. Li Dan was fiddling with the cube in his hand and said with his chubby little face.
"I don't want to learn from him, and I can't learn from him. Brother Yuanri promised me to go to Taiyi City. There are things I am interested in there. By the way, didn't you like Brother Huang before? You said he was filial, so why are you calling him a white-eyed wolf now?" Li Dan raised his head again, immersed himself in all the tricks and affairs, and completely ignored who was the emperor and the prince in the court.
"Hey... I was deceived by that white-eyed wolf, and it was so hard to deceive. Look, he has visited me once since Yuan Ri? He just ran to your mother if nothing happened, even if your mother used a feather duster Drive me away, I still have to wait. I have good tea, wine and delicious food here. I have the Shangshi Bureau prepare it every day, just in case the white-eyed wolf Prince comes and people say that I, Concubine Xiao Shu, did not entertain me well. That's good. The food cooked by Shangshi Bureau is cooled and cooked every day. I haven't seen him in the past ten days. Why do you think he is not a white-eyed wolf? "Concubine Xiao Shu likes Li Dan very much. , now in his opinion, this prince who does not know how to fight for power is much better than the white-eyed wolf, Li Sujie, etc.
"Don't keep talking about the emperor brother. Sister Yiyang and Princess Gao'an are also in Chang'an, right? Have they ever visited you? They are your biological children. Moreover, in Yuan Dynasty, my father allowed them to visit you every day. You can enter and leave the palace freely. "Li Dan was honest. Concubine Xiao Shu wanted to complain weakly, but unexpectedly she was pushed back by this little fat man.
What a benefit from taking over Li Hong. Li Lingyue and Yiyang, whether in front of her father or mother, always defended the white-eyed wolf.
"Hey, you little white-eyed wolf, I asked you to ride in my carriage, why are you still turning your elbows outward? Can't I talk about your imperial brother?"
"Of course, but it must be well-founded. Mr. Chongwenguan said that learning, especially academics and other learning, must be rigorous and not sloppy." The little fat man said seriously, and then hugged his Xiaoquan began to prepare to get off the carriage.
"Have I discussed learning with you?" Concubine Xiao Shu was so angry that she wanted to laugh at the serious look of the little fat man. She looked at Li Dan who got up and walked towards the door of the carriage. She patted the little fat man on the shoulder angrily and funnyly. .
After getting off the car, Li Dan did not leave immediately. He looked at the majestic carriages in front of him. Instead, he waited in front of the carriage with several other palace maids and eunuchs for Concubine Xiao Shu to get off the carriage.
Then after Concubine Xiao Shu came down, Li Dan said with a serious face: "Since the Fourth Brother and the Third Brother have not come back, then I will accompany you."
"I guess you still have some conscience." Concubine Xiao Shu laughed softly, and she saw Li Zhi and Wu Mei, also dressed in casual clothes, walking forward surrounded by other royal family members.
The two of them were not in a hurry. Accompanied by other palace maids, they walked forward with others, chatting and laughing.
Today's Qujiang Pool has been expanded a lot by Jingzhao Mansion. Whether it is palace lanterns or lanterns, the entire Qujiang Pool has been lit up long ago, making the sparkling water surface of Qujiang Pool reflect the shadow of the lanterns, and even It's beautiful, as if the whole person is in a sea of lights.
The place they entered was the Royal Inner Garden, which also occupied the best place in the entire Qujiang Pool. Therefore, although the royal family led everyone into Qujiang Pool to enjoy the moon and lanterns, it did not affect Qujiang Pool at all. Other places are full of tourists.
A large-scale palace was brilliantly decorated with lights of various colors, which looked extremely majestic. Not far away, there was a high platform surrounded on three sides, which was also lit up with various lights at the moment.
A door made entirely of glass allows people to sit in the main hall. Whether it is through the door or the window, and the indoor lights are slightly dimmer than outside, one can clearly see the outside scenery while sitting inside.
As if you were in the main hall in spring, the bright and clean seats had already been arranged. After Li Zhi and Wu Mei took their seats, and after looking at the empty seat next to the Crown Princess Pei Wanying but not the Crown Prince, Li Zhi signaled The rest of the royal clan waited to sit down.
"What weird thing is he going to do today?" After Wu Mei sat down, she glanced at Li Dan who was still chatting and laughing with Concubine Xiao Shu, and then asked Pei Wanying.
"After returning to your mother, His Highness has arranged a novel and unique opera for you and your father to watch. As for the content, it is an adaptation of the story of "The Legend of the White Snake" that His Highness told when he met his son in Qujiang Pond. Come here." Pei Wanying's face was filled with the happiness and satisfaction of a little girl.
Strictly speaking, she was the first audience of the Legend of White Snake, and it was in Qujiang Pond that she and His Highness the Crown Prince met for the first time. Although many things happened later, in the end, when I think about it now, I still feel that my heart is overflowing with happiness. feel.
"He didn't do this just for you, right?" Wu Mei was a little jealous, so she mysteriously invited me here to see you and your wife having a loving relationship!
Pei Wanying's face turned red. In the past few days, after thinking about it, An Xiaohe and the other girls had been using this to cancel her. Unexpectedly, today the queen mother also made fun of her.
"The Empress was joking. Your Highness just thought that "The Legend of the White Snake" was now widely circulated in Chang'an City and had a good response, so he found someone to perform the "Legend of the White Snake". By the way, there is also a man named The opera "The Romance of the West Chamber", if the response to "The Legend of White Snake" is good today, will continue tomorrow, and will be promoted in Chang'an City in the future." Pei Wanying responded to Wu Mei's words with some embarrassment on her face.
Although she didn't know what Wu Mei was thinking, as a woman, not to mention giving birth to a pair of twins, she could still empathize and understand the mother's psychology.
"Since it is a performance for the royal family, why should it be promoted to the public in Chang'an? How is this inappropriate? Can't it be made unique to the royal family like "Ten Banquet Music"? If everything has to be left to the people, the royal family will Don't you need it?" Li Zhi was a little dissatisfied. He is now a thief. Since he stopped governing, he sees that everything is good and he is reluctant to give it to the world. He would like to hold it in his arms. He is unique. of.
But he regarded the unique throne and country as a hot potato, and he had been thinking about how to pass it on to Li Hong these days.
"This... back to my father..."
"Father, this is not called giving to the people, but sharing it with the people. There are many talented people in the world. Sister Yan's talents are not enough no matter how you compile them, so you need to push them out so that the world can be talented and talented. Scholars, people who love poetry, come together to perfect this "The Legend of White Snake", otherwise, it will be like working behind closed doors, without knowing what is good or bad." Li Lingyue took the juice handed over by the palace maid and drank it as if nothing had happened. Said in one breath.
The daughter-in-law did not dare to say anything to her father-in-law, but her sister-in-law did not care. At this time, it was the time for the sister-in-law, who had received Pei Wanying's usual benefits, to step forward to save the situation.
"Did you see it? How about it?" Li Zhi's attention was indeed attracted, and he looked at the proud Li Lingyue and asked.
"It's OK. The music and lyrics are all written by Sister Yan...sister-in-law alone. Well...it lacks some atmosphere and is not as good as another "The West Chamber", but it is enough for you." Li Lingyue At the end of the sentence, the venomous person did not forget to slander Li Zhi.
So Li Zhi looked at Li Lingyue's black mouth and snorted angrily, then ignored her and began to chat with other princes, brothers and sisters of the royal family.
