Li Shimin's face suddenly showed a smile.
"Okay, okay... With these words, my father, no matter how hard he works, still feels sweet in his heart."
He smiled and said,
"It's worth it! It's all worth it!"
"Auxiliary machine, you see, this kid is filial. I would say he is nothing more than a child, but his filial piety is truly sincere! He is better than the other brats!"
"His temperament is a bit like that of a girl! Like Li Zhi, he cares about me very much and likes to cling to me."
Changsun Wuji nodded slightly.
"It seems that Zhinu is the most outstanding one among the princes."
he commented.
Li Shimin was slightly startled.
"oh?"
He suddenly became interested and said casually,
"Why do you say that?"
"Tell me about it, I like to hear it."
Changsun Wuji smiled.
"We, the Tang Dynasty, govern the world with loyalty and filial piety."
He said,
"The so-called great loyalty and great filial piety are great virtues! The young slave is a boy, but he can be so filial. He will definitely be a wise person in the future."
"Because no matter what, a filial person will never be a bad person and will definitely become a good person in the future."
Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"That's the truth, that's the truth!"
Li Er touched his palms and praised,
"A filial person will never do anything wrong!"
"Young slave, look at your uncle praising you like this, saying that you are the best among the brothers and sisters! Aren't you happy?"
Li Zhi smiled brightly, showing a row of teeth.
"Happy! Thank you uncle!"
He rubbed himself into Changsun Wuji's arms to show his intimacy, which made Changsun Wuji particularly happy.
The other princes and princesses were all close to the Grand Master, so he, as an uncle, really had no sense of presence.
It's okay this time.
There is also a prince who is intimate with me!
This taste... is pretty good!
"His Majesty."
The guard road ahead,
"Turn left ahead and you will see the East Palace. Do you want to go in, or turn right to go to the Imperial Garden?"
Li Shimin's smile faded.
"How did you end up at the East Palace while walking?"
He stroked his beard and sighed softly,
"Maybe it's what I'm thinking... whatever!"
"Go and see that incompetent traitor. I don't know how he is thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors."
I haven't asked Li Chengqian for several months.
No one below reported any situation, which made Li Shimin feel a little calmer.
Anyway, nothing happened.
He still had high hopes for Li Chengqian, and he would not give up on the prince he had trained for more than ten years because of these messy things.
He just hoped that this boy could wake up and be the prince he was and stop worrying about himself.
"Then I will retire."
Changsun Wuji put Li Zhi down and bowed his hands.
"Need not."
Li Shimin raised his hand and said,
"Just go in with me! You are my uncle. Even if I want to educate my son, I don't have to avoid you."
"Let's go! Let's go for a while, little slave. Your father and your uncle are both tired! Boys must learn to be independent!"
Li Zhi yelled and walked in front of the two of them, walking unsteadily.
Suddenly, he started running.
"Brother, I'm coming!"
Li Shimin: "!!!"
Changsun Wuji: "!!!"
"You brat! You haven't learned how to walk yet, and you're about to run away!"
"Slow down, slow down!"
A little kid swayed as if running on a balance beam.
The two adults hurriedly followed behind... This scene looked a bit funny.
…
East Palace.
On a soft couch.
Li Chengqian had his chest exposed and was holding someone in his arms.
"Your Highness, wake up..."
"It's three o'clock in the morning, it's time for lunch..."
A reputation for softness comes.
Li Chengqian still closed his eyes and said in a daze:
"Sleep a little longer, sleep a little longer..."
"I don't have to go to the morning court...Besides, even if I have to go to the morning court, I don't want to go if you are here."
"I just want to stay with you... Zong Xin, these three months with you have been the happiest three months for me. Tell me... How can there be such a wonderful person like you in this world? "
Lying in Li Chengqian's arms was naturally satisfying.
At this moment, he looked gentle, gently squeezed Li Chengqian's shoulders, and said:
"Being able to meet His Highness is the greatest blessing in my life."
The two of them were stunned for a while, but they didn't hear the sound of footsteps coming from outside.
Until the attendant shouted:
"See Your Majesty!"
"Welcome Your Majesty!"
The attendants and maids outside the house saluted and shouted, which made Li Chengqian excited and hurriedly got up from the soft couch!
"Father is here?!"
"It's over! Why did he come now! It's over now, this..."
Li Chengqian opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes full of panic.
The two words 'Your Majesty' are simply the most terrifying words to him!
At this moment, he was completely confused and didn't know what to do!
Should you get dressed first or get up first?
"Your Highness, get up quickly, my servant will change your clothes!"
Cheng Xin also looked confused. He quickly straightened up and looked for clothes for Li Chengqian.
Boom!
Boom!
At this moment, the footsteps were getting faster and faster.
"Brother, brother!"
"Where are you, brother! Don't hide, okay?"
"Brother! Play with the little slave!"
Li Zhi had already stumbled several times when he ran in, but this did not hinder his interest in playing with Li Chengqian at all. He poked his head around the hall looking for any trace of Li Chengqian.
Outside the palace, Li Shimin looked at the servants of the East Palace who were kneeling on the ground, looking a little panicked, with a gloomy expression.
His keen awareness made him feel... something was wrong!
"Where is the prince?"
Li Shimin said coldly,
"It's already noon, shouldn't he be studying?"
"I've already arrived at the East Palace, why don't I see him coming out to greet me?"
"Don't tell me, he's still sleeping!"
The emperor's pressure enveloped the East Palace!
Changsun Wuji followed behind him silently, but he sighed in his heart.
I am afraid that there will be another unpleasant incident between His Majesty and the Crown Prince.
Since the Queen and the Grand Master were not here, they had not been dealt with.
At this time, it would be better for him as an uncle to just shut up and watch.
"Tell me!"
"Is he still asleep?"
Li Shimin kicked the waiter in front of him and ordered.
The waiter was kicked, but he didn't dare to shout out at all. He could only endure the pain and said tremblingly:
"In reply to Your Majesty..."
"His Royal Highness, he is already up. He is just, just..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi in front had already opened the door of the dormitory.
"Yeah! Big brother!"
"You are here! Hey...who is this beautiful sister? What...are you doing?"
When Li Shimin heard Li Zhi's words, he directly bypassed the chamberlain and strode towards the bedroom.
Li Chengqian and Cheng Xin, who were caught by Li Zhi, were like adulterers caught in adultery. They were so frightened that they didn't dare to move. They had forgotten what they were going to do at this moment!
"Zhinu, you... why are you here..."
"You go out first, I, I...change some clothes first..."
Li Chengqian's hair was disheveled, he was still wearing a nightgown, and the soft couch was in a mess.
At this moment, he was extremely embarrassed and flustered!
Boom!
A boot stepped into the dormitory.
Li Shimin's eyes locked on the two people in the room in an instant!
Li Chengqian is disheveled and unkempt.
There was also a charming-looking woman sitting next to him, also disheveled and looking flustered.
"Li Chengqian."
Li Shimin looked at his son in front of him with cold eyes.
"Is this how you shut yourself up and dwell on your faults?"
"Is this how you have thought?"
"Lie on a woman's belly and think about your mistakes?!"
Li Chengqian; "!!!"
"Father..."
"My son...my son is here to see my father."
He lowered his head, knelt on the soft couch, and saluted Li Shimin.
"I don't have a son like you!"
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said,
"Shame, shame!"
"Auxiliary machine, look at this man! Does he have the air of a prince at all?"
"I asked him to shut up and think about his mistakes, but he hangs out with women! Maybe for him, this is not thinking about his mistakes, but enjoyment!"
"Tell me! How to teach someone like him? There is no way to teach him!"
Changsun Wuji: "..."
"talk!"
Li Shimin ordered.
Changsun Wuji looked a little helpless.
"Your Majesty, I really don't like your comments."
He said,
"Perhaps...maybe His Highness is just like this today. The rest of the time, he is shutting up and thinking about his past. It just happens..."
Li Shimin glanced at him coldly.
"It's now like this, and I've caught you! You're still talking for him!"
Li Er scolded,
"You are such a good uncle!"
Changsun Wuji's face turned bitter.
What should he say at this time?
Are you going to criticize Li Chengqian together? Then he, as the prince, is destined to do it all! Otherwise, this minister has gone too far!
The emperor's household affairs are the most difficult to interfere with!
"Your Majesty, all the mistakes you made are your fault. It was your servant who seduced His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Cheng Xin knelt on the ground and said repeatedly,
"Please also ask Your Majesty not to anger His Highness the Crown Prince. I am willing to bear all the blame alone!"
When Li Chengqian heard this, he became anxious!
"Hongxin, don't be stupid!"
He said eagerly,
"I can bear it! This matter has nothing to do with it at all. You are innocent!"
"Father, everything is just for fun and has nothing to do with gratification!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.
"Sing Xin, what a Satisfactory! Is it Satisfactory? I am very unhappy now!"
He said coldly,
"You bear all the blame alone. Can you afford it?!"
"You're such a small slave, you dare to climb into the prince's bed! How brave you are!"
"Come on! Take her away!"
Swish!
Two imperial guards came in and directly set up Cheng Xin!
"no, do not want!"
Li Chengqian became anxious instantly, rolled out of bed, grabbed Cheng Xin's sleeve, and growled,
"You can't leave!"
"Congratulations, you can't leave! How can I live without you? How can I live without you!"
"Father! I beg you, my son! I beg you, my son! You can beat me and scold me, whatever you want, but don't let Cheng Xin leave me, okay?"
"I beg you, I kowtow to you!"
Bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Li Chengqian completely lost his mind, just like a child who had his favorite toy taken away, unable to calm down at all!
Facing his powerful father, he had no other choice but to kowtow!
But this look caused waves of anger to rise in Li Shimin's heart!
"Li Chengqian! You!"
He pointed at his son who was kneeling on the ground, hating the fact that iron cannot become steel,
"Can you be a bit promising? A bit promising!"
"How could you do this for a woman? She is just a slave! No woman deserves this, not even the princess!"
"You really...disappoint me so much!"
At this moment, Li Shimin felt more helpless and annoyed than angry.
This is such a good son, he was very good before.
Why did he suddenly become such a virtuous person?
He is really upset!
"Father, please, please..."
"Don't let him go, okay? I beg you, I beg you..."
Li Chengqian knelt on the ground and kowtowed, tears streaming down his face.
He looked like a humble beggar.
"Your Majesty, you are just a slave. How about returning it to His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Changsun Wuji couldn't bear it and persuaded him,
"Maybe it's because the freshness is still there, but when the freshness wears off, he will naturally get bored."
"It's better to block it than to open it up... If you take it away again this time, His Highness will definitely feel even more... Alas!"
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and listened to his begging for mercy, with mixed feelings in his heart.
This kid...
After being beaten like that before, he refused to admit his mistake.
At this moment, it has reached another extreme, humble to the extreme.
"...Alas, alas, alas..."
Li Shimin couldn't help but lament, then turned around suddenly, waved his hand feebly and said,
"Let her go."
"Let's go."
After that, he turned around and left.
Changsun Wuji also followed Li Shimin with Li Zhi, who was not sure why.
Inside the sleeping hall.
The imperial guard put down his wish, bowed respectfully to Li Chengqian, turned around and slipped away.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
Shengxin shouted.
"Satisfying, satisfying!"
"Woo, woo, woo... It's good that you're here, as long as you're here..."
Regardless of any image, Li Chengqian hugged Cheng Xin and cried bitterly.
…
Outside the East Palace.
Li Shimin walked in front of him, but he didn't say a word.
Only the sound of footsteps could be heard, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
This is truly coming with joy and returning with disillusionment.
Although Li Zhi was very young, he was already very smart. He knew that his father was in a bad mood at the moment, so he did not dare to make any more noise. He held Changsun Wuji's hand and walked slowly.
After a while.
The three of them returned to the study room.
"Auxiliary engine."
Li Shimin turned slightly to one side, his expression a little complicated,
"Maybe you are right."
"Since blocking doesn't work, let's try dredging and see the effect."
"That maid named Cheng Xin, find out her identity. If she is innocent... let Cheng Qian accept her as his concubine. She has a title, and it won't be so unpleasant even if it gets spread."
Changsun Wuji raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is right to think so. She is just a maid, so she cannot do anything wrong..."
He accepted the command,
"I'll go check it out right now."
