But, isn’t this just to avoid getting beaten——
It's really hard to be this bitch's son-in-law.
Wang Zi'an curled his lips secretly, deliberately raised his steps, and prepared to go to the royal steps to have a good talk.
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Tang Jian, Li Xiaogong, including Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Li Jing, Li Ji, Yuchi Jingde, and the group of old gentlemen who are jumping out to support the prince. One by one, he had dealt with both Wang Zi'an and Li Shimin at the same time, and his little heart jumped several times.
Gao Ting couldn't help but his eyes twitched. He could get Li Shimin's death order to leave the prince in the corner of the hall.
At this time, seeing the sudden situation, Wang Zi'an actually wanted to get in front of His Majesty, which was not bad.
Without thinking too much, he took a step forward and stood directly in front of Wang Zi'an.
Wang Zi'an looked at him with a playful expression.
This piece of shit has a lot of drama today.
Gao Ting is sweating so much——
Although he did not look back, he could still imagine the oppressive gazes of his Majesty and the group of big bosses behind him. It is conceivable that if I failed in my mission today, I would wait for His Majesty to become angry and settle the accounts together.
"Ahem - Mr. Marquis, your hat is crooked. Please help me straighten it -"
Out of anxiety, Gao Ting smiled flatteringly at Wang Zi'an, and then, without waiting for Wang Zi'an to refuse, he nodded and came over to help straighten his hat.
Wang Zi’an:……
Seeing how hard this guy was trying to stand up on his heels to block him, Wang Zi'an almost couldn't bear it.
"Okay, I'll do it myself-"
Wang Zi'an, dumbfounded, pulled Gao Ting away, stretched out his hand, and symbolically held up his hat.
Don't tell me, it's really a little crooked. I guess it was rubbed against the pillar when I was sleeping.
Wang Zi'an was just teasing Li Shimin and others, but he didn't really want to get close enough to kill them, so he took the opportunity to stop.
When Gao Ting saw this, he couldn't help but secretly wipe away his sweat. Li Shimin and a group of big guys couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and vaguely regretted letting this bitch come to this big court meeting.
At that time, I just thought that if I didn’t let this brat come, the government and the public would criticize him, especially some people who would take the opportunity to criticize him and cause unnecessary trouble to him. As long as I was careful here, it wouldn’t be a big problem. Who knows, this dog Things don't make people feel comfortable wherever they go.
This is so frightening.
I really don’t dare to play anymore.
Li Shimin coughed dryly.
"Well, this matter is not a trivial matter. I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it clearly in a while. Why don't you write a more detailed statement and submit it later, and I will discuss it carefully with you all - if it is really feasible, I will certainly not hesitate to reward you. ——”
At this point, Li Shimin suddenly coughed slightly and changed the topic.
"However, merit is merit and fault is fault. The imperial court has its own laws. Look at all the princes in the court, who is not working hard and sleeping day and night for the important affairs of the court? But who is at the court meeting, in front of the public? ——Ahem, even if you don't sleep soundly in public, you still can't escape the misconduct of the emperor? Ordinarily, you should be severely punished, but today is the beginning of the year, and considering that you are indeed worried about state affairs, you are a little tired. I have decided to show mercy outside the law and impose small punishments and big warnings——"
Having said this, he paused and showed a subtle smile.
"I'm punishing you - forget it, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't give you a stick, but I'll also fine you a salary - I heard that you're good at farming, and today is the beginning of the new year, so I'm going to punish you to do it for me. The ground is ready..."
Speaking of this, Li Shimin could not hide the smile in his voice.
"A few acres of open space have been opened up in my imperial garden some time ago. We are going to cultivate it after spring. I will punish you to plow the ground for me - well, if you can't finish plowing it before lunch today, I will smash your land." butt--"
As soon as Li Shimin said this, several big guys who were about to stand up to plead for Wang Zi'an couldn't help but burst out laughing on the spot.
It's obvious that His Majesty is deliberately trying to mess with this brat.
Really, really well done!
Not to mention other people, even Cheng Yaojin felt refreshed.
Brat, there are times when you are weak!
Wang Zi’an:……
Seriously, this dog emperor is clearly seeking revenge on himself.
He was led out by the old eunuch beside Li Shimin with a depressed look on his face.
But he didn't know how envious the civil and military officials in the court looked at him.
This seems like a child's play punishment, but what kind of punishment is it? This is clearly His Majesty's favor.
If my son could be treated like this, he would probably be able to laugh out of his dreams.
Of course, Wang Zian didn't think so. At this time, he was full of stomachache and didn't know how to vomit.
Tell me, what are you curious about?
Wouldn't it be nice to take a day off, play cat at home, and sleep comfortably with Susu in your arms?
Early in the morning, not only did I have to stand for punishment, but I also had to be pranked by the dog emperor...
Count yourself out of luck.
It is impossible to cultivate the land, so let’s go and see it first. To be honest, after traveling through the Tang Dynasty for so long, this is the first time I have entered the palace, and it is also the first time I have seen the legendary Imperial Garden.
It’s not in vain——
While comforting himself, he followed the old eunuch in front and walked towards the imperial garden.
He was completely unaware that in the crowd behind him, there was a fat man with a round figure who was looking at the figure behind him with complicated eyes. If he turned back at this moment, he would definitely recognize that this was the man who was almost carried to Yangzhou by him. Li Tai, King of Wei.
This guy is actually a character. He risked his life to survive. It was a bitter trick and he directly succeeded in staying in Chang'an.
Now, although his body is mostly recovered, it is already the end of the year. Even if Li Shimin is hard-hearted, he cannot bear to drive his most admired son out of Chang'an at this time of year.
…
Harem.
The time had come, and Li Shimin could not waste any time. He left his daughter and the queen behind and went to court, leaving only Empress Changsun and Princess Changle facing each other.
Although Empress Changsun really wanted to rush up and ask directly what was going on with her silly daughter and Wang Zi'an. But after enduring it again and again, I finally endured it, and tried my best to put on a kind smile on my face.
"Zhi'er, it's so good of you to come. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. The Queen Mother is about to arrange for the imperial doctor to check the people in the palace. Since you are here, let's check together..."
"Don't worry, mother, I'm in good health. Some time ago, Prince An just diagnosed me..."
Chang Le blurted it out without thinking.
Queen Changsun almost blackened her face, she took a deep breath.
"There's no harm in checking it out. You and the other sisters will check it out together later -"
After saying that, Chang Le didn't leave any chance to protest and went straight out to make arrangements.
Changle didn't care about this. He was just checking his body. What's the big deal?
Soon, Li Shimin's other daughters, including Princess Yuzhang and Princess Gaoyang, also arrived.
Although the imperial hospital was disbanded, most of the imperial doctors went to outside hospitals to sit in public.
But within the palace, it was impossible not to leave several resident imperial doctors to take personal care of Li Shimin and his harem. Therefore, after receiving the order, the imperial doctors and female officials who had been with Empress Changsun all year round quickly started diagnosing and examining the several princesses.
"I would like to report to you, the princesses are all in good health——"
At this point, his tone paused and he lowered his voice subconsciously.
"Shou Gongsha is safe and sound, and is still in perfect condition..."
She didn't know what the Queen's order meant, and she didn't dare to think too much about it.
After hearing this, Queen Changsun breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now I heard that silly girl talk nonsense, but I was very nervous.
Now that I think about it, I am certain that it was the silly girl Changle who made the mistake by talking nonsense. Let me just say, although that child Zian is a bit lecherous, he is not ignorant.
After calling Chang Le over alone, Queen Changsun got straight to the point.
"Zheng'er, tell the truth to your mother, how did you earn so much money from Zian -"
After meeting his mother and asking him what he was proud of, Changle immediately became energetic.
"Of course it's a business partnership. A capable person like me..."
Changle's eyebrows immediately danced, and he explained everything about how he secretly cooperated with Wang Zi'an to collect flower petals from the ladies and best friends in Chang'an City, then exchanged them for cosmetics from Wang Zi'an, and then sold them at a high price.
After hearing this, Queen Changsun was completely relieved.
It's funny, but also heartbreaking.
What's funny is that this child is still ignorant at such an old age. What's sad is that this child is filial and dedicated to sharing his father's worries. During this time, it's really not easy to have to run around outside all day long.
"Zhi'er, it's really hard on you..."
When Changle heard this, his smile suddenly turned into a flower.
"It's not hard, it's not hard. Being outside is much more interesting than staying in the palace. Sometimes you can even eat the food cooked by the Marquis of Chang'an. Mother, you don't know, the food cooked by the Marquis of Chang'an is so delicious - -By the way, you have eaten it, then forget it..."
When Changle thought that he had lost a chance to show off, he immediately lost his energy.
Queen Changsun couldn't laugh or cry.
During the Chinese New Year, it was naturally not just Li Shimin's direct daughters who came to pay their respects to Empress Changsun.
There are also all the concubines, those without children come by themselves, and those with children come with their underage children to pay their respects.
These children, except for some princes who are very young and need to live with their mothers and do not need to attend the court meeting, the rest are all princesses, there are more than twenty of them.
If the prince were here, he would definitely be able to see things.
Li Shimin gave birth to a child who was extremely beautiful.
Although Empress Changsun was the master of the harem, she did not show any condescension at this moment. She stepped forward personally with a happy face, lifted them up one by one, and pulled them to sit on the seat beside them. At the same time, people presented the scented tea, brown sugar and white sugar that Wang Zi'an had sent years ago. They made tea according to everyone's taste and talked to the parents for a while.
Then he raised his head and looked at the princesses standing aside politely.
"It's rare for you little sisters to get together like this, so you don't have to stay with us here anymore - go out and play your own games."
These people were originally unable to let go of Empress Changsun. Except for some who were too young, the rest, all the girls, got up and apologized one after another after hearing this and went out to have fun.
Although they are Li Shimin's children, the palace is not a place where they can run around casually.
So, naturally they all ran to the Imperial Garden.
…
The tools prepared by the old eunuch are quite complete.
Shovels, hoes, plows, and even helped lead an old ox.
Wang Zi’an:……
Could it be that this dog emperor wanted to torture himself from the beginning and prepare it for himself?
Thinking of this, he looked at the old eunuch standing aside with strange eyes.
"Does His Majesty's palace have to keep these?"
The old eunuch folded his hands and bowed his waist, with a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum.
"The Marquis is joking, what kind of place is in the palace? How can it be possible to have these all the time? Although His Majesty is considerate of the people and goes to the fields personally every spring plowing to preside over spring plowing and take care of farm affairs, but these are prepared by Sinong Temple, and His Majesty does not The reason for staying in the palace..."
This old eunuch is the old man next to Li Shimin. Although he has never met Wang Zi'an, he knows how much his Majesty loves the young marquis. Therefore, when he saw Wang Zi'an's eyes looking strange, he was not angry and continued with a smile.
"It's a coincidence. Some time ago, His Majesty suddenly ordered someone to dig up the flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden, saying that he would plant mulberry trees here - well, those flowers and plants are all rare treasures in the world. What a pity. …”
When Li Shimin plowed away the flowers and plants in the imperial garden and had people deliver them to Wang Zi'an, he did so without any fanfare.
The old eunuch was not responsible for this area, so he deliberately did not know that these flowers and plants had gone around in circles and found their way into the back garden of the Marquis of Chang'an.
Hearing this, Wang Zi'an suddenly felt guilty for no reason.
Ah, this——
He smiled dryly and comforted.
"Don't worry, father-in-law. I think those flowers and plants don't seem to be short-lived. I think they have a better place to go -"
"Master Hou is really good at telling jokes. Could it be that you also tell fortunes for flowers and plants..."
At this point, the old eunuch himself couldn't help but laugh.
"Please, Lord Marquis, I will go back to serve Your Majesty. I won't disturb you here anymore -"
After saying that, the old eunuch folded his hands and left——
Looking at the messy imperial garden, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth crazily.
What a crime——
What a disaster this beautiful royal garden has become.
Alas, forget it, wait a few days and sell some of the flowers and plants in your farm to him at a cheaper price. After all, we are all relatives, so we can't be too fussy. We should just take care of our relatives.
Wang Zi'an felt that he was a kind person.
However, when he leaned on the shovel and looked at these acres of land, his mood immediately became bad again.
Several acres!
This dog emperor, does he want to treat me like a cow?
Once you finish it, you definitely won’t be able to finish it, but just do it a little bit.
It’s time to experience rural life.
In his previous life, he was born in a farmer's family. Not to mention plowing the land, farming was not a problem. He had nothing to do, so he took the shovel and started digging with enthusiasm.
Don't tell me, the more you work, the more energetic you become.
At this moment, a group of chirping and graceful princesses appeared at the entrance of the Royal Garden.
