"It doesn't matter if Brother Tadashi smiles."
Li Sixu curled her lips and said a little sadly: "Anyway, my father also laughed. He asked Mr. Zuo Wei to protect Sisi, but he colluded with him and Eunuch Yang not to tell Sisi about the expedition to central Guizhou. Sisi It was almost too late to prepare medicine for them.”
Li Sixu rarely acted mean in front of Xuanzong, but when he saw her half-resentful, half-coquettish look, Xuanzong felt that he had become a bad person.
"It's my fault for hiding this from my little princess."
Xuanzong coaxed her: "Li Linhuai has left the capital, can I compensate you as your loyal heir brother?"
Just when Li Sixu was about to refuse, Wang Zhongsi agreed readily: "My son has just returned to the capital from outside the Great Wall. Apart from coming to serve his adoptive father, he has nothing else to do. I can accompany the princess around Chang'an City when I am free." .”
Li Sixu shut up!
She happened to need an opportunity to leave the palace and visit Zending Temple, but the opportunity fell from the sky so unexpectedly that she didn't even need to find a reason.
She responded with a sweet smile: "Okay, even though she has been out of the palace many times, Sisi has never visited Chang'an City carefully!"
Afraid that Xuanzong would not agree, Li Sixu shook his arm and acted coquettishly.
"Father, can you please promise me?"
Li Sixu promised: "My son is very well-behaved and will definitely not run around."
After the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival incident, Xuanzong was actually worried about letting Li Sixu leave the palace, but he thought that Wang Zhongsi was already familiar with the art of war at a young age, and had outstanding martial arts, courage and strategy, so he should be able to protect her.
Li Linhuai had just been punished, but he had hurt his little princess.
Xuanzong had no choice but to agree and told Wang Zhongsi: "Carefully protect your tenth sister."
Wang Zhongsi patted his chest cheerfully and assured: "Don't worry, foster father, if your son and minister lose you, you will not lose your princess and sister."
With Wang Zhongsi's guarantee, Xuanzong agreed.
Li Sixu came out of the imperial study and leaned against Xuanzong, looking like she was hesitant to speak.
Xuanzong summoned her to the imperial study room to introduce Wang Zhongsi to her, thinking that during the time when Li Linhuai was away from Beijing, someone would be by his side to protect her.
Seeing that she had something to say but was holding it back, Xuanzong said helplessly: "Li Linhuai's expedition to central Guizhou was General Zuo Yulin's wish. Are you still blaming your father?"
"No, no, the military achievements of the men of the Tang Dynasty were all achieved by fighting on horseback. Sisi is happy for Mr. Zuo Wei Shilang to accompany his father-in-law on the expedition to central Guizhou to quell the rebels."
Li Sixu hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully: "Actually, Sisi met the Fourth Emperor Brother in the Royal Garden today."
"Father, even Wei'er and Yun'er at such a young age have gone to Chongwen Hall to study. Why don't the Fourth Emperor's brothers go to Chongwen Hall?"
After Li Sixu's reminder, Xuanzong remembered that he had been busy with political affairs recently, and was busy appeasing the queen. In addition, Yao Chong's death, and Wuxi leader Qin Xingzhang's rebellion, he had forgotten about the mother and son of Concubine De who had been summoned to Beijing.
Xuanzong squeezed Li Sixu's shoulders: "I will finish handling the political affairs in a while and go to Penglai Hall."
Wang Zhongsi was flipping through the documents. Although he sat calmly, he secretly thought, "Silly girl."
This palace is full of chaos, there are so many princes and princesses, but they only have one father.
There are still fools like her who help others fight for favor?
He had to take good care of her for his adoptive father...
What Li Sixu didn't know was that when she was talking to the little eunuch of Xingqing Palace, the fourth prince did not go far. After she left with the little eunuch, the fourth prince who was hiding behind the bushes appeared and found the little eunuch. The little kitten hurt by his fall.
After sitting by Taiye Lake for a long time, he returned to Penglai Pavilion dejectedly.
After hearing the report from the palace officials that the fourth prince was back, Concubine De came out to welcome him with a happy face.
Seeing him coming back with the cat in his arms, Concubine De's face darkened: "What's going on? Your imperial sister doesn't like this cat?"
"I have inquired and found out that Linglong Residence has a rabbit given by the third prince, a deer given by the eldest prince, and a parrot given by the sixth prince. How come your princess doesn't like little kittens?"
Concubine De scolded: "You can't even give away a cat and let me tell you what you are good at. If you can't handle this, what's the point of having you? You're not even as good as the sixth prince who is younger than you..."
These scolding words came again, and when Concubine De's thoughts entered the fourth prince's ears, it was as if the little girl who was shorter than her was standing in front of him again.
She said that he was not even comparable to the Twelfth and Thirteenth Imperial Brothers.
He said that even if he wanted to please someone, he had to know how to please him. Wandering around the imperial garden with cats and kites all day long would only make him less attractive to his father.
It seemed that everyone in the entire Daming Palace was performing their duties, and even a little girl like her was studying medicine with the imperial physician.
Only he has become a useless idler!
The fourth prince was fed up with this feeling of frustration and fed up with Concubine De's nagging.
His eyes suddenly became red and swollen, interrupting Concubine De's words: "That's enough. How can someone like her, who is favored by the emperor, think so highly of me, a down-and-out imperial brother? She said that I am not even the twelfth and thirteenth emperor. She is worse than a child, how can a mother and concubine still humiliate herself by her sons and ministers?"
"You, how dare you contradict me?"
Concubine De said harshly: "What do you mean? I asked you to please the tenth princess, but you offended her? If you don't coax her well, how will you have a chance to see your father? You will make me angry to death..."
A man won’t shed tears easily!
As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he shouldn't cry so easily.
But after being humiliated by his younger sister and being so blamed by his mother and concubine, the fourth prince couldn't bear it anymore. He stuffed the cat into the concubine's arms, turned around and ran away crying.
"He still has the nerve to cry? He can't handle such a small thing."
Concubine De gritted her teeth and said, "How come the talents of Yu Jieyu and Yang Guifei are so valued by the emperor? Yan'er is such a disappointment to me. He can't count on her."
Seeing Concubine De blindly blaming the fourth prince, Grandma Zhang felt a little distressed after watching the fourth prince grow up.
"Your Majesty, don't blame me for talking too much. I can't blame the fourth prince for this matter. We don't know if the little princess in the Linglong Palace of Jiuxuan Palace is snobbish or not."
Nanny Zhang said distressedly: "I look at the fourth prince as if he has been greatly wronged. The little princess must have said something that hurt him. I said something unpleasant. Yu Jieyu is stupid. That little princess must have said something that hurt him." Who knew what they were thinking when they made friends with the third prince, the eldest prince, and the sixth prince?"
"After all, the eldest prince and the sixth prince are the sons of Concubine Xian, and the third prince and Princess Yue are also the sons of Concubine Yang. It is because of her love for these two empresses that the little princess fell in the eyes of the empress."
Concubine De's eyes darkened.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case.
That little girl in Linglongju fawned over her royal brothers, but she was able to rise to power through her royal brothers.
But now, even if she was recalled from Luoyang Palace by His Majesty, her status as Concubine De was still there, but she had been left out in the cold for so long after returning to the palace.
