In the Prince's East Palace, Crown Princess Wang was using toilet water to apply mosquito bites on Li Zhi.
As soon as he applied it, Li Zhi suddenly felt the strange itch disappear, and he felt so happy that he asked what it was.
Although Wang was the Crown Princess, she was not favored. Li Zhi had always been indifferent to her. It was rare for him to pay attention to her, so he diligently talked about the origin of this thing.
Li Zhi took the toilet water and said, "It's Li Beidou again. His name has appeared too frequently in the past few days."
"Oh? Really? I wonder what your Highness heard about this child?" He looked concerned as if he was sharing your worries.
Li Zhi was a kind-hearted person. Although he didn't like the domineering character of the crown prince, out of sympathy, he simply talked about the importance of the strong bow made by Li Beidou in the Tang Dynasty's conquest of Goguryeo.
Wang's beautiful big eyes blinked and she thought, "This boy has great talent. Has your Highness ever seen this boy?"
The prince's private meetings with ministers were taboo in all dynasties, especially for Li Shimin, but it didn't matter to a well-known dandy official for three generations.
The reason why Li Zhi was interested was because he was under great pressure. It was really great. Under the aura of Li Er's martial arts, everyone lost their color.
Both the courtiers and the people were eager to see whether he was a hero or a good man.
He really needed to find someone he could talk to, for no other reason than to find someone of the same kind. After all, all the talents in the world belong to his wise Majesty Li Er, and he didn't have much left for him, really not much.
A dandy bastard can be notorious enough to be well-known, and he can also make powerful bows and toilet water. Doesn't this mean that this bastard still has some strength?
Seeing that Li Zhi was interested, Mrs. Wang continued to encourage: "Your Highness, why don't you summon me to see him to see if this son is really as good as the rumors? If so, Li Zhong just lacks a companion..."
Seeing Li Zhi's heartbeat, she did not continue what she said. She believed that Li Zhi would understand naturally.
Since ancient times, the weak leader and the strong minister are the most feared by those in power. However, the Li Zhi brothers who are about to take the throne will soon face such a situation due to their father's experience. At this time, it is rare to have a confidant who has been cultivated by himself.
Of course, Li Zhi understood what the Crown Princess was thinking, and smiled and said, "Since my beloved concubine is so curious about this son, there's no harm in calling her to have a look."
Mrs. Wang chuckled, very charmingly, a rare sight of husband and wife harmonious.
For a moment, Wang thought that nothing else mattered. As long as this man could treat her like this, everything would be worth it.
But Li Zhi's statement that his beloved concubine was so curious about his son brought her back to reality. This man was too weak and cautious, and she still had to have a certain amount of strength to protect herself.
We still need to do something about the Li family. We must let them know that offending my Wang family will not bring good results.
…
Li Beidou was smiling proudly when he heard the butler Lai Fu hurriedly come to report the matter. The East Palace orally ordered that the Crown Princess summoned Li Beidou, the inventor of toilet water, to see him.
Li Beidou and Xue Ne looked at each other with smiles frozen on their faces.
Seeing that Fifth Young Master was stunned, Laifu pulled Li Beidou's sleeve and said softly: "Fifth Young Master, I am waiting for you in the study. I want you to go there first before entering the palace."
Li Beidou finally recovered from the shock, said goodbye to Xue Ne and hurried to the study.
In the study room, Li Jing was already sitting at the main seat waiting.
Li Beidou hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "My grandson has met grandpa."
Li Jing nodded and said calmly: "Do you know why you were called into the palace?"
"My grandson doesn't know."
"Do you know how to deal with it?"
Li Beidou continued to shake his head. "My grandson doesn't know."
Seeing his grandson's appearance, Li Jing felt relieved for no reason, "There's no need to panic, I think it's probably the prince who wants to see you."
"Can you not be alarmed? Grandpa, they say that accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. What if the tiger gets upset and eats your grandson?"
Li Jing's comfortable mood immediately turned bad. Is this grandson panicking?
Ignoring his bastard words, Li Jing continued: "The prince is a kind-hearted man and has great ambitions. As long as you don't forget your original intention and play the right song truthfully, I will not embarrass you."
Li Beidou smiled bitterly in his heart, my original intention? My original intention is to be a salted fish.
Suddenly seeing Li Jing's gaze, Li Beidou felt relieved and immediately saluted, "Thank you, grandpa. My grandson understands."
Li Jing was overjoyed to see that his grandson was really smart. The reason why he didn't say it clearly was not because he was afraid that what he said here would spread, but because it meant he was trying to teach others.
Seeing that his grandson was completely relaxed, he continued to add more emphasis: "There are two more things you may not know."
Li Beidou was confused.
Li Jing stroked his beard and said, "First, on the night when you and Wang Shenyan were drinking and fooling around, you were accompanied by Li Zhong, the adopted son of the Crown Princess, and Cheng Ruobing, the granddaughter of Cheng Yaojin. As long as you know the identities of these two people, there is no need to panic."
Listen, old conspirator, this is a standard news statement, it is characterized as drinking and fooling around, and it is by no means retaliation.
Seeing that his grandson was very calm, Li Jing couldn't help but feel even more joyful, and continued: "Secondly, the first arrow of the strong bow you made was accidentally shot by Xinghe, and it is said that it hurt someone's left calf. My Li family asked around for what they wanted Compensation was given to the injured, but the injured was not found. You just need to know about this and there is no need to say anything more."
For the first time, Li Beidou understood that his grandfather wanted to tell him to be wary of the Crown Princess.
But this second move made Li Beidou confused, but since his grandfather said there was no need to say anything, then his grandson could just follow the arrangement.
Li Jing explained some more precautions and waved him away.
Seeing Li Beidou walking away, the anxious Li Derjian walked out from behind the screen, "Dad, Beidou is still young after all, I'm afraid of him..."
Li Jing raised his hand to interrupt Li Derjian and said: "He is young, but I believe he can handle it. Even if there is any accident, a mere princess of the Wang family in Taiyuan can't touch the son of my Li family." His eyes were shining brightly as he spoke. ,awesomeness.
Li Derjian was still a little worried. After thinking about it, he continued: "Dad, when this matter is over, why not let Beidou enter the court, so as not to become a tool used by some people."
Li Jing looked at Li Derjian thoughtfully, sighed for a long time and said: "It is enough for a family to have one figure, but the one above... the head of the emperor."
Li Derjian suddenly felt speechless and was about to blame himself when Li Jing raised his hand to interrupt again, "Care will lead to chaos. There is no need to blame yourself. I thought I was not as good as you back then."
After saying that, he looked at the direction in which Li Beidou was going away, as if talking to himself, or saying to Li Derjian: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, let them go and have a good time."
…
Outside the East Palace, the palace is strictly forbidden, with halberds like a forest and soldiers like rain.
Teams of crane guards patrolled outside the palace gate. The palace gate was tightly closed, and a large flag with Chinese characters on the palace floor was fluttering, which was intimidating.
Li Beidou came to the palace for the first time and set foot on the land at the heart of power for the first time. Deep down, he was both nervous and excited.
I wanted to be a salted fish, but I ended up here by accident. I don’t know whether it was God’s blessing or contempt.
