Kite flying is a sport that integrates entertainment, leisure and fun.
Even in Li Chengqian's era, he was still very popular with the public.
Moreover, in later generations, kites were brightly colored and rich in shapes, including animals, plants, characters, etc.
Li Chengqian has his own obsession with craftsmanship.
Lu Wanjie had seen the wooden models he made before.
Isn’t it easy to make a kite?
To make a kite, you first need to build an outline of the kite using thin wooden sticks in a crisscross pattern.
Tie the interface tightly with thin wire to prevent it from loosening.
Then attach a cover to the kite and attach three tails to the tail of the kite to keep the kite flying smoothly. That's it.
But, will Li Chengqian be satisfied with this?
Of course not.
After the kite was made, he picked up a paintbrush and painted a scene of two people running happily on the blank surface of the kite.
Li Chengqian's painting skills are very good, not to mention penetrating into wood, but he is close to it.
At least, Lu Wanjie could see that one of the two villains was herself.
Seeing this, Lu Wanjie's pretty face turned red: "Where are we going to fly the kite..."
"Of course it's the square in front, otherwise where would we go?"
"ah?"
"Aren't you afraid of being caught gossiping?"
Lu Wanjie looked at Li Chengqian with a puzzled face.
Going to the Palace Square to fly a kite, I'm afraid only this guy can think of it.
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "The palace is my home, what's wrong with me flying a kite?"
"Besides, what kind of place is the harem? Can anyone come here?"
After saying that, regardless of whether Lu Wanjie agreed or not, he grabbed Lu Wanjie's hand and ran towards the big square in front of Kunning Palace.
Then, the two of them really started flying kites in the big square in front of Kunning Palace.
The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs were really dumbfounded.
Flying a kite in the palace is something that not even the emperor can do.
When looking at those eyes.
Lu Wanjie herself felt a little ashamed.
To be honest, she herself now wonders if there is something wrong with her.
Before, even if Lu Wanjie spoke, she would have a soft-spoken and ladylike demeanor.
Where can I do such things as running around and having fun?
She was really led astray by this naughty kid Li Chengqian.
…
Li Chengqian and Lu Wanjie had a great time.
Soon, this matter also reached Li Shimin's ears.
I heard that this guy started not doing his job properly again, and he was so bold that he flew a kite in the palace.
Li Shimin's face turned dark on the spot: "Eunuch Zhou, bring me my ruler."
Hearing this, Eunuch Zhou couldn't help but grin secretly.
It seems that His Highness is about to be beaten again...
Li Shimin held the three-foot-long ruler upside down and approached Kunning Palace step by step.
On the other side, Queen Changsun had also received the news and was on her way carrying a feather duster.
However, when these two people saw the two people having fun in the square, they couldn't help but froze.
Li Chengqian dragged the kite and ran, while Lu Wanjie trotted beside him.
The beauty of blooming flowers in midsummer is accompanied by the innocent laughter unique to children.
There is such an indescribable sense of harmony.
Li Shimin looked at Queen Changsun, and Queen Changsun also looked at Li Shimin.
The couple looked at each other and smiled.
They were both children when they got married.
However, due to the complicated rules in ancient times, the two of them never even held hands in public.
Not to mention flying a kite together.
To be honest, whether it is Queen Changsun or Li Shimin.
I really envy the state of Li Chengqian and Lu Wanjie at this time.
Carefree, unafraid of worldly views...
Seeing them arriving, Li Chengqian waved his hands and shouted: "Father, Emperor and Mother, come and fly a kite together..."
See his lively look.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun shook their heads and laughed.
Maybe, this is what it feels like to be a parent.
I do not know how long it has been.
Li Shimin took a long breath.
Then he walked up to Empress Changsun and held her hand: "Queen, follow Erlang to sit on the lawn over there."
Queen Changsun was startled by his sudden move.
But soon, he calmed down and nodded with a blushing face: "Okay..."
This couple has been together for more than ten years and wants to do things but dare not.
I actually did it today under the influence of Li Chengqian and Lu Wanjie.
The couple sat on the lawn in the center of the square, regardless of the gazes around them.
When Li Chengqian saw this scene, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
It seems that these two people still cannot withstand the temptation...
On the field, Li Chengqian and Lu Wanjie chased and played.
Off the court, Li Shimin joked and talked with Empress Changsun.
Such a scene is absolutely against the rules.
But it looks so harmonious.
The old couple looked at the young couple with smiles in their eyes.
It seems that there is no happier scene than this in this world.
…
Had dinner in the palace.
Li Chengqian said goodbye to his father, the Queen, his mother, the Queen and Lu Wanjie, and set off back home.
When passing by Li Tai's Crane Feather Hall, he couldn't help but stop and look inside a few more times.
What happened last time, although Li Shimin did not punish Li Tai openly.
But secretly, Li Shimin replaced all the palace attendants in Heyu Palace from top to bottom.
He also banned Li Tai and asked him to stay in the Heyu Hall to reflect on his mistakes for half a year.
At this moment, looking at the dim candlelight in Heyu Hall, Li Chengqian shook his head and sighed.
Then he didn't stop much and walked along the path towards the palace gate.
He didn't want to, he just hoped that Li Tai would stop forcing himself.
…
Time flies, summer goes and autumn comes, and August comes in a blink of an eye.
On the seventh day of the eighth lunar month, Chang'an City was bustling with activity.
Not only because Li Shimin selected people's representatives from various places to come.
Furthermore, the Qiuwei Township Examination quietly started.
Scholars from around Chang'an City flocked to Chang'an City.
Unlike Chun Wei, who was kept in Gongyuan until the examination was over, the examination was divided into three days.
Therefore, scholars from all over the country also went to stay in the hotels and inns around Gongyuan.
Li Chengqian also became interested and simply opened the gate of the Qin Mansion and packed up the spare rooms for some poor scholars to live in.
Those who stayed at Prince Qin's Mansion were all flattered to the extreme.
After all, for them, being able to stay in Prince Qin's Mansion is a great honor.
Moreover, Li Bai once said it well in a poem: "I don't want to be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households in my life, but I hope I can get to know Han Jingzhou."
The meaning of this sentence is naturally that it is useless no matter how good you are in the exam, you still need to be appreciated and recommended by someone.
Being able to stay in Prince Qin's Mansion is equivalent to being able to meet Li Chengqian.
If I could get his appreciation, would the imperial examination still be a problem?
Of course, they also think too much.
Li Chengqian had no intention of selecting talents for his own use, he just showed some kindness.
He looked at the poor men and then at Changsun Chong beside him.
Li Chengqian shook his head and chuckled: "Brother Chong, when I think about it sometimes, I really admire you for having the courage to give up Yin Feng and choose to take the scientific examination."
Noble children like Changsun Chong all have privileges.
It is entirely possible to obtain Yinfeng through his father's merits and then enter the temple.
You can also choose to study in the Imperial College.
When you complete your studies, you will directly participate in the final level of the imperial examination.
Of course, there are weird things everywhere.
Changsun Chong is the biggest strange flower among the aristocratic children of the Tang Dynasty...
