"Qingque, what are you doing here?"
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"I've met the emperor brother."
Li Tai gave a leisurely salute: "Qingque just happened to be passing by here. When he saw the emperor, he naturally had to come over and say hello."
"The greetings are over, you can leave." Li Chengqian drove him away expressionlessly.
"Brother Huang, do you not want to see me so much?"
As he spoke, Li Tai glanced at Cui Shenji and Fang Yiai, and finally landed on Wu Qiqi.
I saw Wu Qiqi sitting on the steps, holding his chin with his hands and watching the show.
Li Tai's chubby face immediately changed into a smile.
Taking three steps and two steps at a time, he arrived in front of Wu Qiqi...
"Wu Qiqi, yesterday you defeated Songtsen Gampo in the court hall. I admire you very much."
"He also said that he had no chance to make friends with you. I didn't expect to meet you so soon..."
Li Tai said with a smile on his face.
Wu Qiqi curled his lips.
I didn't see the good show, so I lost two lollipops.
"The little girl has met King Wei."
Wu Qiqi stood up and saluted Li Tai.
"No gift."
Li Tai took action.
Wei Bai immediately handed over a brocade box.
"This Bohai Pearl is a gift from my father. I am useless even as a grown man..."
Pearls offered by the Bohai Kingdom?
Fang Yiai shed tears immediately.
This one is enough to keep me cool for several months...
snort.
Li Chengqian snorted coldly.
Li Tai was deeply favored by Li Shimin and was praised and rewarded indispensably.
He was also deeply loved by Li Shimin, and was often scolded and whipped.
We all have the same father. The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes.
"Are you going to sell it to me?"
Wu Qiqi took out his small purse and looked at it: "I only have three cents, I can't afford it."
"Ha ha……"
Li Tai laughed: "What I admire is that you promoted the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty yesterday. You didn't ask for the reward from my father. I just wanted to make some friends."
"It seems I'm being hypocritical to say I'll give it to you."
"Three cents, I'll sell you the Bohai Pearl."
Li Tai's remarks were quite appropriate.
He can reward servants or people with low status, but he cannot reward people with meritorious service recognized by Li Shimin.
That is the power that only Li Shimin has.
If he rewards without authorization, he is exceeding.
When it comes to making friends, the price of friendship is different...
When Li Shimin found out, he would only praise him for his understanding of the world.
"But... I don't want to buy it."
As Wu Qiqi finished speaking, Li Tai's smile stopped abruptly.
"This Bohai Pearl comes as tribute from the Bohai Kingdom and is extremely valuable!" Li Tai began to explain.
"oh."
Wu Qiqi nodded: "I still think three cents is better."
"This pearl can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of copper coins!" Li Tai explained again.
"But I don't want it."
Li Tai choked completely.
How come there are still people who don’t like pearls?
In the past, didn’t those women’s eyes light up when they saw pearls? Not to mention this priceless Bohai Pearl.
"Ha ha……"
"Qingque, Qiqi is not the kind of person you imagined. Put away your crap."
Li Chengqian laughed and walked to Wu Qiqi.
"Could it be that the emperor has something elegant?" Li Tai said with a sneer.
"How can you be so frugal when you are so frugal?"
Li Chengqian flicked his sleeves, as if he didn't bother to be with him.
Li Tai's face suddenly darkened...
"This is a pearl paid tribute by the Bohai Kingdom, and it is a reward from my father. Do you think this is a broken thing, or something that smells like copper?"
Li Tai sneered and said, "Does the emperor mean that the Bohai Kingdom is smelly? Or does it mean that the things my father gave me are junk?"
Li Chengqian's face suddenly darkened.
He is no match for Li Tai in terms of words.
Li Tai can make Li Shimin so happy, and he is definitely a good talker.
At this time, he was very eager to have a capable minister like Wei Zheng.
Look at my father, whenever he is weak...
When Wei Zheng comes out, who can compete with him?
"Qingque, please stop misinterpreting Gu's meaning!"
Li Chengqian's face showed a gloomy look: "I just said that Qiqi doesn't like the jewelry you gave me!"
"Did I hear wrongly?"
Li Tai took out his ears, and then asked Wei Daizi beside him: "Did I hear it wrong?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did say something about the broken stuff and the smell of copper just now." Wei Daiji agreed.
On the side, Cui Shenji and Fang Yiai gathered together and continued to comment.
"You're a rookie, you've fallen behind so quickly."
"Just say, let the cauldron come, King Wei didn't even have a chance to speak."
"Shenji, it's my turn to appear again."
"You go first, I'll wait in the rough area!"
"Just take a look, you..."
With a flick of her hair, Fang Yiai ran to Li Chengqian's side.
"King Wei, be careful what you say."
Fang Yiai stood in front of Li Chengqian like a loyal guard: "Your Majesty advocates abstaining from extravagance and advocating frugality, and leads by example."
"The Queen also strongly supports it. In order to reduce the expenses of the palace, she dismissed many maids..."
"The prince does not have such valuable things because he is usually frugal and follows His Majesty's will."
"And King Wei, as a member of the royal family, you are the Bohai Pearl. Aren't you afraid of ruining the image that His Majesty has finally built up?"
well said!
Li Chengqian trembled all over.
It was the first time I felt so transparent.
After taking a closer look at Fang Yiai, she was really pleasing to the eye.
The rumors are misleading...
How could such a loyal minister and righteous man be the second fool of Chang'an?
"Your Highness, don't panic."
Fang Yiai turned to Li Chengqian and consoled him: "King Wei's behavior is unbecoming. Even if it causes trouble to His Majesty, we are justified!"
"Um!"
Li Chengqian nodded heavily.
It looks like I trust you very much and you dare to spray.
"Fang Yiai!"
Wei waited for the price to come out and shouted: "The prince is talking to the King of Wei, do you have the right to speak? Why don't you get out!"
"Be bold!"
Fang Yiai shouted sharply, then flicked her bangs coquettishly: "You are wrong, I should correct you."
"My roommate Yiai is devoted to the Tang Dynasty, so what should I be afraid of?"
"If I make a mistake in admonishing you today, the worst possible outcome is that your head will be chopped off!"
"It's you Wei who is waiting for a price..."
"As a personal follower of His Highness the King of Wei, you do not advise the King of Wei and instead help others to do evil. Do you know what kind of behavior you are doing?"
"If this matter comes to His Majesty's ears, you will definitely be miserable!"
Uh-huh.
Wei's face turned pale.
He never imagined that Fang Yiai, who had been fooled by him a few days ago, would change so much.
"Back off!"
Wei Daiqi wanted to say something, but was shouted back by Li Tai.
"Fang Yiai, you are very good..."
Li Tai gritted his teeth.
If he had known that Fang Yiai was so sharp, he would not have used traps in the first place, but would have used Corporal Li Xian instead.
"Thank you, King Wei, for your concern. Yi Ai eats and drinks well and is in great health!"
After finishing his words, Fang Yiai, the hero, retreated and stood behind Li Chengqian.
"Ha ha……"
Li Chengqian took a step forward, his spine straight: "Qingque, my father advocates frugality. It's really disappointing that you are so extravagant."
"As an imperial brother, I have to talk to you properly..."
Li Tai looked gloomy.
Li Chengqian was the prince and his brother. If he walked away at this moment, he would be accused of being disrespectful.
It will be easy to be scolded by Li Shimin then...
The most terrifying thing is Li Chengqian’s group of teachers!
Although they usually scold Li Chengqian happily, if anyone is disrespectful to Li Chengqian...
That attack power is absolutely outrageous!
In order to protect His Highness the Crown Prince, a certain minister was not afraid of power and fought tooth and nail to remonstrate.
Such a good gimmick, why don't you sharpen your head and rush forward?
Li Tai could only lower his head and obey the instructions.
At this moment, there was a sound of wind leaking in my ears...
"Prince Dian, what you are doing is wrong!"
