Outside the mansion gate.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xu Fenglei smiled and went out to greet him.
At this moment, a large number of people had gathered outside the mansion to watch the excitement.
There is no way, this battle is too big, the prince comes to visit, and brings more than ten carts of gifts, who is not confused after seeing this?
"Master!"
Today, Li Zhi is already a handsome young man. He quickly steps forward and bows to Xu Fengleina.
"Why do you need to be polite, Your Highness? I don't pay attention to these red tapes here."
Xu Fenglei hurriedly helped him up and said,
"Come on, come on, come in!"
With that said, he took Li Zhi's hand affectionately and walked towards the mansion.
"Big brother is here too?"
As soon as Li Zhi looked up, he saw Li Chengqian, a little surprised and a little embarrassed.
After all, the eldest brother was still the prince a few days ago, but now, he is sitting on the throne.
From a certain perspective, it means squeezing out the eldest brother...
"Well, I'll sit here with Master."
Li Chengqian smiled and said,
"Child slave, this heavy responsibility will be placed in your hands from now on, you have to do it well!"
After Li Zhi heard this, he quickly relaxed and smiled.
"Yes, I will follow my brother's instructions!"
The two of them met him and entered the house.
The eunuch of the East Palace who came with Li Zhi handed a thick gift list to Zi Maid's hand.
"Aunt Zi, this is the apprenticeship ceremony sent by His Highness the Crown Prince. Please take a look at it."
The eunuch said respectfully.
The purple maid smiled.
"His Royal Highness has such serious intentions, what better purpose could there be?"
She took out a piece of gold from her arms and said,
"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. I'll use this little expense to buy tea."
When the eunuch saw Jin Zi, he suddenly smiled and his old face was wrinkled into half a chrysanthemum.
"No hard work, no hard work, this is what our family should do, ho ho, ho ho ho..."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries, and then cartloads of gifts began to be unloaded. Escorted by servants, they were continuously delivered to the mansion, which made the people around them marvel.
"What a treasure this is! Can it hold an entire warehouse? It's really enviable that Mr. Xu is treated so kindly by His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Haha, what is this thing? Fenglei Bank is all opened by him, and gold and silver treasures are like dung to others! Let me tell you, it's not that His Highness the Crown Prince Xu is treating him favorably, but that the new prince is here to take advantage of Duke Xu. The light, so that we can stand firm in the court!"
"This dear friend understands! Yes, with Xu Gong's status and achievements, he no longer needs anyone to reward him favorably. Instead, others want to curry favor with him, even the prince is no exception!"
"..."
Zi Maid listened to the comments of the people outside and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
How honored she is that her husband can have such a status!
…
In the east wing courtyard.
"Master, there were a lot of people outside just now. I know you are taking care of my face."
"It's just you and me now. As your disciple, I must kowtow to you. Father said that if you don't kowtow, it will not be considered complete."
When Li Zhi walked into the courtyard, he knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Fenglei.
It has to be said that when it comes to etiquette, he is very diligent and is not lazy at all.
"What does it mean to be incomplete without kowtow? I'm afraid your father is confused."
Xu Fenglei smiled and said,
"When you were still in the Queen's belly, you already decided that I would be your master."
"Later, when you were babbling and learning the language, you kowtowed to me. At that time, the ceremony was considered complete and complete."
"So now, there's no need to do that."
Hearing this, Li Zhi couldn't help but be a little confused.
"Really? The kid doesn't remember..."
He scratched his head.
No impression at all.
"Haha, of course you won't have any impression! You had just learned to walk at that time."
Xu Fenglei smiled and said,
"I won't lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask your father. However, your father is busy with many things and may not remember it. Your queen mother will definitely remember it."
"You can just ask her when she wakes up."
Only then did Li Zhi say yes, believing it.
However, he turned around and said:
"Even if I kowtow before, it was many years ago. It doesn't prevent me from kowtowing to Master again now."
"Master is on top, please accept——"
Xu Fenglei's face darkened.
"Why don't you kid listen? I told you, I don't like red tape."
He said somewhat displeasedly,
"Look at your eldest brother, your eldest and second sister, how can you kowtow to me every time they see you?"
'Besides, you are going to be the emperor in the future, so you can't develop such bad habits and affect your kingly aura, do you understand? '
"Sit down, sit down."
Seeing that Xu Fenglei's face didn't look good, Li Zhi gave up.
"Okay, my child will obey the teacher's orders."
He sat down slowly.
Only then did Xu Fenglei smile.
"That's right, eat fruit, eat fruit, do you want some tea?"
"I don't have many other good things here, but the tea is still good."
Li Zhi shook his head.
"Master, the child doesn't drink tea."
He cupped his hands towards Xu Fenglei and said obediently,
"The child is here to ask for guidance from the master."
"Master, please teach your children the way of a gentleman."
Xu Fenglei was stunned.
"Teach? I have nothing to teach you."
He shook his head and laughed,
"All I know is Yi. I taught it to your brothers and others in the past, but it turns out that the effect was not very good."
"Look at all of them, how can any of them be good? They all take non-mainstream routes, either doing economics or studying Chinese medicine. Your eldest brother is even more important. He actually wants to be a Laoshizi Ranger and travel around the world!"
"A legitimate prince gives up his position as a prince and doesn't care about his prince's salary. He just wants to make a career in the world. I'm so angry... I can't even eat anymore!"
"Now I really feel that I have really failed as a master! I just misled others! Don't you think so?"
Li Chengqian: "..."
He sat on the side, suddenly a little unable to hold himself tight.
Wasn't it "full support" just now?
Why are you so angry now that you can't even eat?
Master, don’t fool me like this...
However, he was deep in the city now. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea and managed to calm down.
"Ah, this..."
Li Zhi was also a little confused.
He didn't expect Xu Fenglei to say this, and he couldn't even think about it.
"So Prince, you must not let me teach you, or I will teach you badly."
Xu Fenglei said seriously,
"If you really want to learn, there are many great scholars in the palace, such as Kong Yingda and Yu Shinan, who can be your teachers and lay a good foundation; if you want to ask about political affairs, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Ma Zhou, Chu Suiliang They are all excellent candidates for consultation; as for military affairs, you can consult Li Jing and Li Ji, both of whom are great military strategists who attach equal importance to theory and practice."
"You are the prince, you can ask any of these people."
"As for me, I will provide you with other support."
Li Zhi looked focused, silently reciting the names and writing them down carefully.
These people are indeed famous officials in the court, and they are often mentioned by the father.
After hearing the end, he couldn't help but blurt out:
"What support?"
Xu Fenglei smiled.
"For example, if you want to do something but you can't do it in your own name, then you can say that Master asked you to do it."
He said,
"If you want to go out to play, your father will definitely not agree. You can just say that Master asked you to go outside to enrich your experience, and then he will definitely agree."
"If you don't want to do your homework, those great scholars will definitely not be happy either. You can also say that Master asked you to combine work and rest. Then they won't dare to say anything more."
"Do you understand?"
After hearing these words, Li Zhi's eyes were already shining.
"Really...can this be done?"
He was a little excited.
"Of course you can. This is my support for you, Prince."
Xu Fenglei responded with a smile.
Li Zhi nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you Master!"
He repeatedly raised his hands towards Xu Fenglei, happily.
After all, we are still young, how can we not like freedom?
Xu Fenglei just provided him with a scapegoat that he could throw away at will!
What else could be more beautiful than this?
While chatting happily, a beautiful figure entered the courtyard.
"Daddy, this braised elbow is delicious! The cook from the palace is just extraordinary!"
Wu Erya walked in carelessly, carrying a basin of braised food, slurring his words, and scratching the skin of his elbow.
Li Chengqian looked up and saw Wu Erya, and smiled, not surprised.
He waved and said hello.
"Is it really that delicious? Let me try it."
Wu Erya chuckled, wiped his mouth, and walked towards this side.
And Li Zhi also turned his head at this moment.
When his eyes fell on Wu Erya's face, his breath suddenly suffocated.
The eyes are already inseparable from that pretty face.
"What a beautiful girl..."
he murmured.
In the palace all year round, he had seen countless beauties of all kinds, but the appearance of Wu Erya still made him feel amazed!
He swears!
He has never seen such a beautiful girl!
Even if she is not of this age group, this girl can crush and kill instantly!
"You're greedy again."
Xu Fenglei said helplessly,
"Aren't you afraid of gaining weight?"
Wu Erya curled his lips.
"My godfather always says things that bring down other people's happiness when they are happy."
She said dissatisfiedly,
"Just eat happily. When you are greedy, worrying about this and that will affect your appetite!"
Xu Fenglei laughed.
"Okay, I won't say it any more, the fleshy one is also very cute."
He pointed at Li Zhi and said,
"Come on."
"sit."
"This brother you haven't seen before is your eldest brother Chengqian's younger brother, His Majesty's ninth son, and now the new crown prince, Li Zhi."
Wu Erya looked at Li Zhi and examined it briefly.
Li Zhi's eyes were a little dodgey, maybe because he had been staring for too long and was a little embarrassed.
"It turns out he is the new crown prince. I have met His Royal Highness."
She put down the braised meat basin and saluted Li Zhi slightly.
"Uh... I've met the girl."
Li Zhi didn't know how to address Wu Erya, so he bowed awkwardly, his heart pounding faster.
"This girl is the daughter of the warrior Tong, and she is also my goddaughter."
Xu Fenglei pinched Wu Erya's cheek and said with a smile,
"I have no children, so I only have one daughter. I treat her like my own daughter. In the future, this huge family property will be passed on to her."
Li Zhi suddenly looked up.
"It turns out to be my sister. I'm being rude as a child."
He saluted again, much more standard than before.
"We don't pay much attention to these etiquettes in our family."
Wu Erya carelessly picked up a braised chicken paw and handed it over, and said,
"Here, try it, it tastes really good."
Li Zhi: "..."
He was a little at a loss, but he still took the chicken feet from Wu Erya's greasy hand, and then gnawed them carefully...
Xu Fenglei and Li Chengqian each chose half an elbow and a claw, and sat at the stone table to gnaw.
The good chat was interrupted by Wu Erya and turned into an open-air barbecue stall. The aroma of braised pork filled the courtyard, and the sound of squeaking was endless.
Xu Fenglei and Wu Erya were the ones who didn't care about their image the least. They were used to being in the wilds of Jiuwei Mountain, fighting over each other to eat, and there was no image at all.
Li Chengqian is slightly better and more gentle.
As for Li Zhi, he was the most reserved one on the court, sitting upright in his seat, nibbling in small bites...
As soon as he finished eating one braised chicken claw, Wu Erya immediately fed the second one.
"You're welcome, we are all our own people, you can eat whatever you want, until you're full!"
"The way you eat is so girlish. If a pot of meat were placed in front of a craftsman in Mount Jiuwei, you wouldn't be able to eat even the dregs of meat and bones."
"You have to learn from me...come on, open your mouth like this..."
Wu Erya opened his "bloody mouth".
Li Zhi looked embarrassed...
However, he found that... the sister in front of him was still very beautiful even if she opened her mouth so wide, and even had a different kind of beauty...
Under the guidance of his caring elder sister, his expression while eating gradually became ferocious...
After a while.
The four of them finished off a pot of braised pork, and each of them had a round belly.
"belch……"
Wu Erya patted his belly and said with a smile,
"I'm going to gain a lot of weight again, but it doesn't matter. I'm not getting married anyway, so I'll be a little fatter."
Having said that, she actually has an excellent figure, and there is no need to worry about it at all. On the contrary, if she gains a few pounds, she can achieve a more perfect proportion.
"Sister is so good-looking, she won't have to worry about getting married even if she gains a few pounds."
Li Zhi put down the chicken bones and couldn't help but said.
This was a way for him to muster up the courage to flatter Wu Erya, but he did mean it sincerely.
"Hahaha, the prince is really good at talking."
Wu Erya laughed and said,
"After listening to your words, I want to have another pot."
Li Zhi: "..."
At this moment, a voice came.
"Your Highness, it's getting late, it's time to return to the palace."
The nearby eunuch reminded.
Before I knew it, I had been staying at the house for almost an hour.
The main reason is that eating braised paws is really fun, and there are beautiful sisters to watch...
Li Zhi didn't really want to go back at the moment, but wanted to stay a little longer and chat with his beautiful sister.
However, Xu Fenglei didn't give him a chance.
"It's indeed getting late. Prince, please go back first."
He said in a deep voice,
"This is your first time going out alone. Your father will be worried if you come back late."
"Come out early next time and we'll talk."
When Li Zhi heard this, although he was a little reluctant, he could only nod.
"Yes, Master, that kid has to leave first."
"Brother, and sister...goodbye."
He looked at Li Chengqian and then at Wu Erya, staying on her face for a while before turning away.
That pretty face has been deeply imprinted in his mind...
