"Back to His Royal Highness, it's like this. His Majesty is obviously in a good mood."

The little eunuch knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly.

"Get out of here!"

The little eunuch didn't dare to delay, so he immediately ran out crawling on the ground.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the tea cup was smashed into pieces, revealing the ferocious-looking Li Chengqian.

That's it again!

That's it again!

It's not enough for the father to dote on Li Tai, now he also dotes on Li Ke?

Both of them are smiling, but they never give me a good look!

And you, Li Ke, are really lucky. You are not infected with smallpox. You are really an unkillable pest.

A bitch born in the previous dynasty actually wants to take over my position as the crown prince. Who gives you the courage!

Li Chengqian clenched his fists, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became.

At this moment, he wanted to re-enter Li Shimin's palace and directly scold him for being ruthless and unjust.

He is obviously the prince, but why are the other brothers and sisters favored, while he is the only one who is often scolded and never smiles.

This is true for handling government affairs, this is true for birthdays, and this is true for hunting in autumn.

Do you really think you don't deserve a compliment?

When he was upset, another young eunuch came in.

"Your Highness, the King of Han wishes to see you."

"King of Han?"

Li Chengqian frowned, calmed down a little, and glanced at the debris on the ground.

"Clean up quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked towards the front hall.

In the front hall, a man of similar age to Li Chengqian but with an ordinary appearance was sitting on a chair, holding a teacup and sipping a drink.

When he saw someone coming from behind, he immediately put down his tea cup and walked forward enthusiastically.

"My nephew is here, but it makes it easier for uncle to wait."

"It's true that my nephew has neglected my uncle. I just don't know why you came to see your nephew so late."

Li Chengqian looked at the visitor and smiled, not at all angry as before.

"Nephew, did you forget?"

"Your uncle will return to Fengguo in two days. Naturally, he came today to visit his nephew for a night trip to Taichang Temple."

The man said with a smile and raised his eyebrows, showing a "you know" look.

Taichang Temple is the highest institution in charge of rituals and music in ancient times. It can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, but its name is Fengchang.

Later, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, it was changed to Taichang Temple and has been used continuously since then.

It lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty before it was abolished.

Li Chengqian wanted to refuse when he heard this, but he thought that he would be irritable staying in the palace. It would be better to go out and see no one singing and dancing, which might improve his mood.

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said.

"Since my uncle has warmly invited me, why would my nephew not accompany me?"

"Oh, hey, nephew understands uncle." The man smiled.

The King of Han, Li Chengqian's uncle, was named Li Yuanchang.

He is the seventh concubine of Li Yuan, so his age is almost the same as that of Li Chengqian. Every time he returns to Beijing, he usually lives in the East Palace.

In addition, this person has no ambition and only likes to engage in art.

Therefore, he is quite accomplished in calligraphy and painting.

The calligraphy and paintings given to Li Chengqian were all of the highest quality. As time went by, the two uncles and nephews often went out to play.

In order not to let Li Shimin know, Li Chengqian simply took a carriage with Li Yuanchang and headed towards Taichang Temple.

"Nephew, are your feet feeling better?"

In the carriage, Li Yuanchang asked with concern.

The last time the two of them went horseback riding, Li Chengqian lost control and fell. His foot was injured at that time, and he had to nurse it for several months.

"Thank you for your concern, uncle. It's nothing serious."

Li Chengqian heard this and replied with a smile, but glanced at his left foot without any trace.

Daily running is fine, but for some reason my feet feel a little painful when I ride a horse.

I asked the doctor, but he was just vague and couldn't find out the reason.

"It's okay, it's okay, but nephew, you have to be more careful next time you ride a horse. If you get injured again, you'll have to recover for several months."

"..."

Li Chengqian glanced at the other person, and when he saw the latter smiling, he suddenly felt quite speechless.

My uncle is good at everything, but he has no emotional intelligence and can't say anything nice.

Does this sound like concern to you?

It’s clear to reveal the scars.

How can you care so much?

Taichang Temple is not far away, and the carriage will soon reach it.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, the Taichang Temple is already brightly lit with singing and dancing.

During this period, the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, both in terms of economic and military strength, as well as culture and entertainment.

As official entertainment venues, the Jiaofangsi and Liyuan in Taichang Temple are even more talked about.

"Nephew, go with your uncle. I heard that the tricks in Taichang Temple are particularly beautiful. Let's go and see them with my uncle."

Li Yuanchang looked at the dazzling scenery and said excitedly.

"Then go ahead."

Li Chengqian didn't care. Anyway, he would come here occasionally on weekdays. What novel tricks have you not seen before?

The two people immediately entered a private room, and then under the arrangements of the people below, several people walked in soon.

Li Chengqian was very familiar with these people, and he thought that those tricks were probably not worth seeing.

But at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes instantly focused on the Le Tong who walked in at the end.

This Letong doesn't look very big, only about eleven or twenty-three years old, but he is extremely good-looking.

She has thin lips, a high bridge of nose, and a pair of phoenix eyes. After careful matching of makeup, she has a somewhat unique charm.

The first time he saw this Le Tong, Li Chengqian had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

However, he did not express it, but continued to sit and watch the people below perform.

Little did he know that some of his actions just now happened to be seen by Li Chengqian.

And when he followed his gaze, he also found the different Le Tong.

"Does my nephew like this one?"

Li Chengqian thought for a moment, and then he had some ideas.

I have to sigh, you may say that some people have no eyesight, but they can discover something at some accidental time.



Rush back to the carriage in the East Palace.

"Nephew, are you having a good time tonight?"

"It's good to keep it secret from uncle, but I just think that uncle will leave in two days."

As he said that, Li Chengqian turned his head and pretended to sigh.

"I'm afraid it will take a long time to return to Beijing, so my nephew feels a little disappointed."

Li Chengqian smiled at first, then looked at him bitterly.

Li Yuanchang was immediately moved and said immediately: "It is my blessing to have you as my nephew."

"So before leaving, uncle prepared a gift for you. You will know about it when you return to the palace later."
