Chang'an City.
royal palace.
Today, Empress Changsun's complexion, which had been sickly pale for many days, has finally regained its rosiness.
Now he can barely get off the ground and walk a few steps, but most of the time he is persuaded by Li Shimin to lie down on the bed and rest.
In the harem, there are people visiting from time to time.
"See Your Majesty~"
"See Your Majesty"
At this time, Li Shimin's figure appeared in the hall, and the sound of worshiping was heard.
"Sister, since your majesty is here, I will stop disturbing you and let's take my leave first. Sister must have a good life~"
Concubine Yang said kindly and worriedly, and after that, she and Concubine Yin and others made a gesture and left.
In the past few days, who doesn't know that His Majesty is in a bad mood and is worried both internally and externally? If he can't hang around in front of His Majesty, then he should stop hanging around.
It’s best to avoid harming the fish in the pond.
After saying goodbye to Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wugou, the harem finally became quiet.
Seeing others "fleeing hastily", Li Shimin had to smile bitterly.
"Mr. Guanyin, have I been unable to hide my anger these days?"
"Erlang has been worried these past two days. My sister and the others are also afraid of offending the Holy Wrath. Don't blame Erlang~"
The eldest grandson Wugou on the bed said with a faint smile.
That delicate face lacked some of its past elegance.
"Guanyin, how are you feeling today?"
Li Shimin quickly approached, sat beside Queen Changsun's bed, and asked carefully.
In the past few days, apart from state affairs, what Li Shimin was most worried about was the health of his queen.
The queen was already weak and suffered from ailments, so her recovery was slower than others.
Guanyin's maid took this arrow for her, so she felt ashamed.
Even if Li Shimin became angry with anyone these days, he would not dare to raise his voice even a little bit louder in front of Empress Changsun.
Changsun Wugou smiled gently and said to Li Shimin, who was full of worry.
"Erlang, don't worry. I'm already able to get off the ground, and the pain in this wound is much less. I even... still feel numb, so it's not a problem. I have someone to take care of me here, and Erlang can concentrate on handling state affairs. Don’t let the small lose the big.”
Empress Changsun always knew the general situation, and these gentle words made Li Shimin's heart warm and he couldn't help but sigh.
"No matter what I do, I still have to come and see you, Guanyin. This arrow makes me feel guilty..."
If Empress Changsun hadn't blocked the arrow with her shoulder, Li Shimin would have been pierced through the heart by an arrow and died on the spot!
"Erlang, there is no need to feel guilty. You and I have been married for many years, so how can we feel guilty? Your Majesty is also extremely kind to me. A country cannot be without its master. I am extremely lucky that this arrow hit me." .”
"Oh, where is the favor? Guanyin is joking. If it weren't for you, Guanyin, I would have been in so much trouble over the years. Instead, you have helped me so much over the years~"
Li Shimin held Empress Changsun's hand and gently pulled a strand of hair for Changsun Wugou. His eyes were filled with memories of the relationship between the two of them over the years.
Only when you almost lose something do you realize the importance of cherishing it.
If his queen is really gone, what is the difference between Li Shimin and the so-called lonely man?
The palace maids around them quickly stopped looking at the meaning of eating melons.
The desire to eat melons has been around since ancient times. This is dog food exclusively for emperors and queens. How fresh it is~
"By the way, Maid Guanyin, I have some good news for you!"
Immediately, Li Shimin slowly told his queen what happened today.
Ever since Changsun Wujiu woke up, he could naturally guess what would happen outside.
This time's sudden change in Shangyuan will definitely be used by those who want to make a big fuss. However, she can only keep her in this palace and can't do anything.
After Changsun Wujia finished listening, his eyes were full of excitement.
"……Be from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, overturned Que!"
In the hall, a repeated chant came, and the paleness of Changsun Wugou's complexion seemed to have faded a little further.
"Your Majesty, this Manjiang Hong deserves to be remembered forever! Even though I am a woman, I am still full of generosity and passion!"
This Manjianghong is really majestic to the extreme. Changsun Wugou also comes from a scholarly family, and he has never let go of his poetry cultivation over the years.
Looking through the past and present, such majestic words have never been seen before!
"I didn't expect that such eloquent words were written by Su Fan. This child is so adorable and heart-warming~"
Speaking of Tang Sufan, Changsun Wugou's expression softened, and inexplicably, the vague and lingering dream from before came to mind again...
"This time, it is indeed thanks to this boy. With just these words, the people in Chang'an are so angry that the victory is uncertain!"
Li Shimin looked excited. This time, he was the first to take the credit.
"Your Majesty, how are you doing with Su Fan?"
That is to say, eldest grandson Wugou thought of Tang Sufan who was now locked up in the small courtyard. According to Erlang, this child was sulking because of their status.
Ever since Changsun Wugou found out that the person who treated him was actually his younger brother, he knew that their identities had to be revealed due to this kind of mistake.
Sure enough, this kid couldn't get rid of the sand in his eyes.
In the past few days, Tang Sufan was also what Changsun Wugou was most worried about.
Li Shimin's face dried up and he mentioned that this kid had been locked up in his yard for the past few days and saw no one.
Fang Xuanling and other old men went there several times, but they were always rejected by this guy.
"Your Majesty, why don't you...stay for two days and let me go in person? Su Fan must be willing to meet my sister..."
Changsun Wugou said something with a worried look on his face, but he couldn't believe that the child was too worried about their identity, so he suddenly left.
Li Shimin quickly dissuaded him: "Oh, that's not the case, maid Guanyin. Regardless of your health, I don't worry about you leaving the palace again during this period of time..."
Suddenly, Li Shimin had an idea.
"By the way, Maid Guanyin, this boy said before he left that after your wound heals in a few days, he will remove the stitches from this wound for you. At that time, the boy will come~"
"Will Su Fan come to the palace again?"
A hint of joy appeared on Changsun Wugou's face. To be honest, she was naturally happy that Tang Sufan could come.
"It's natural. I don't believe it. He can be angry with me, but in the end he can't let go of Rou'er and your sister~"
Li Shimin smiled resolutely, as the saying goes, if you can't let go of your daughter, you can't trap the wolf.
If this boy is gone, I really don’t know where to find such a good son-in-law?
This good son-in-law is either quick or slow.
When the army from the battle in Mobei comes back victorious, they must hurry up and marry their daughter, and secure this boy firmly, so that he can be my son-in-law with peace of mind!
That’s right, that’s it!
"That's good. When the time comes, I will explain it to this kid Su Fan."
"This child has no relatives in Chang'an. Before and after his engagement to Rou'er, he always regarded us as close people. Many of Erlang's difficulties were caused by Su Fan trying to find a way. Even ordinary people found out that the people close to him were cheating. He will inevitably feel uncomfortable, Erlang, don't worry, just leave this matter to me."
Ever since the eldest grandson Wugou woke up from his illness, he felt even more sorry for the child from that dream.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Guanyin. Moreover, what Guanyin said is true. In the past six months, thanks to this boy, we conquered Mobei. This boy should be the first to contribute. Moreover, this boy is so clever that he is the best in Su Fan." Under your guidance, I am becoming more and more talented, which makes me feel very happy~"
Li Shimin said with a smile, it is said that prostitution is free for a while, and it is good for a while, and it is always good for free, he must trap this son-in-law.
"A few days ago, Gao Ming personally cooked rice porridge for me. This benevolence and filial piety is indeed indispensable to Su Fan's teaching~"
for a while
, Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wuga chatted about their daily routine, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.
…
Du He.
He is the second son of the current Prime Minister Du Ruhui.
Today, Du He is in front of the East Palace Gate.
Now, the eldest brother Du Gou is destined to inherit his father's title of Duke of the Kingdom, but what about him? Although he is famous for his talents, he still has no official title.
Under his father's influence, he found a position for him as a secretary in Prince Zhan's Mansion to assist the prince.
This is equivalent to entering the prince's family, how fresh is it?
Although Prince Zhan is not worthy of being a seventh-rank official, he is the son of the current prime minister.
If you show off your composition "My Duke's Father" at will, you can prosper in the prince's east palace, and even the prince will need to attract more friends.
From today on, he will serve the prince well. When the prince ascends the throne, he will soar to the sky.
Reproduce the story of the emperor and his ministers between his father and his current emperor!
Du He tidied his clothes in front of the East Palace Gate.
I took out the official documents from the three provinces and went in smoothly.
"Father, where is the prince? I am the son of the current Prime Minister Du, Du He. Fortunately, Prince Zhan is in charge of the office, so I came here to see the prince~"
As soon as he entered, Du He saw a chamberlain and quickly asked where the prince was.
Today's Prince Zhan Shifu has the function of accompanying the prince as a reading companion.
No matter where the prince is, it is best to serve him well.
Now that I have just arrived, I have to go out in front of the prince no matter what.
What's more, he is the son of the current Prime Minister Du, and now his father is the minister of humerus in front of the current emperor.
Not to mention the prince, even when he arrived at Prince Wei's mansion, he was still a guest.
It's called "Seeing the Prince", but it actually informs the family.
The son of the current Right Prime Minister?
The waiter raised his eyes and took a look at the slightly aristocratic young man in front of him, wearing a curtain hat, tall eyebrows, and a slender figure, like a thin dog.
The current Right Chancellor is Duke Du Ruhui of the State of Xing. I have met this old chamberlain several times and there is indeed a slight resemblance to him.
Immediately he couldn't help but take it seriously, he responded, and immediately took Du He to visit the prince.
Logically speaking, the secretary of Zhan Shifu should report to Zhan Shifu first, but he is Du Ruhui's son.
This is identity, alas, even if you want to be ordinary.
On one side, the waiter was taking Du He.
Passed by the vestibule, passed by the main hall, passed by ***...
Hey hey hey...
Where to go?
Du He had a strange look in his eyes. The prince was not in the main hall, the study, or even the sleeping hall.
Why have you been walking for so long, almost past *** and still not stopping?
Where is this going?
immediately.
A moment.
The scenery around Du He changes, following the steps of the chamberlain.
Came to ***'s kitchen.
This huge East Palace and outside this palace are obviously the places where the servants live.
In that empty space in the kitchen...
A click~
A piece of firewood cracked in response.
A small figure carrying a not too big ax.
Where the bitter Baha was chopping wood.
The figure was dressed in rich clothes, showing nobility, but now because of chopping firewood, the crown on his head was tilted by three points, there were still a lot of sawdust on his body, and there were some stains on his face.
"Gone?"
"Go back to Your Highness, it is indeed gone~"
The servants around him were almost crying, so they replied cautiously.
Li Chengqian threw down the ax in his hand angrily.
"Go and find more for me... Uh, wait, I'll do the math... and find another sixty pieces of firewood for me! I'm going to chop it again!"
This chopping of firewood was a lesson assigned to him by his teacher.
The teacher once said that splitting firewood
It can strengthen the bones and realize the fruits of labor. It should not be wasted. It is necessary to chop two hundred firewood in the courtyard every day.
Now that the teacher has closed the door, Li Chengqian thought that the teacher was no longer willing to teach him.
I have been worried for several days~
However, the homework assigned by the teacher must be completed.
Two hundred dollars to chop wood every day, this is arranged by the teacher.
As the saying goes, diligence is better than playfulness, even if you are not at the teacher's house, you must complete your homework and don't waste it.
The few servants around had a miserable look on their faces. They exchanged glances and said, "Forget it, let's get another sixty yuan for His Highness."
Ever since His Highness came to the kitchen to chop firewood in the past two days, the chamberlains and servants of Mandong Palace have been in a panic!
Prince!
That is the crown prince of a country!
What's wrong with you, chopping firewood in this place where future generations belong?
If the current Holy One finds out, will they still have a good life?
If the prince doesn't study hard, if they are named as someone who confuses the prince's thoughts, they might lose their heads!
After all, this is the East Palace, no one can tell~
However, even if they try to persuade me, they can’t stop it!
I had no choice but to quickly hide the firewood in the East Palace last night!
Do you just hope that the prince will get rid of this evil ******** Highness as soon as possible? "
Li Chengqian turned around and took a look.
"What's the matter?"
"See Du He, the son of the right prime minister~"
Immediately, Du He stood up from behind. Seeing Li Chengqian's body, he couldn't help but secretly twitch his eyes.
Still modest and polite, he bowed and said, "My dear Du He, I am fortunate enough to be appointed as the Secretary of Zhanshifu in the East Palace to assist the Crown Prince. I am very grateful. Now I am here to pay homage to the Crown Prince~"
Duhe?
Your surname is Du?
Li Chengqian glanced at the young man in front of him who was a head taller than him.
Then I remembered from the words of the chamberlain that this was Du Ruhui, the old yin... This must be Du Gong's son.
"It turns out it's Brother Du. I'm so polite~"
The teacher said that you should be approachable as a person, and you should not act like a *** like a twenty thousand person.
I will learn from my teacher!
Nowadays, Li Chengqian takes Tang Sufan's words more seriously than Li Shimin's words to him.
Even if Tang Sufan said that men can be wives, Li Chengqian believed it~
Li Chengqian immediately greeted him without any airs.
Du He couldn't help but feel happy, Brother Du?
It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince still values my Du family very much. He calls himself the younger brother when he comes, without even mentioning the distinction between monarch and minister.
Du He was very enthusiastic immediately and quickly flattered him.
"Brother Du, go to the front hall to take a rest first. I still have some firewood that has not been chopped. I will be back later!"
There is still some firewood...uncut? !
Du He looked strange, is this thing really a prince? Didn’t I come to the wrong place?
But Du He, who inherited Du Ruhui's conspiracy, felt that things were not that simple.
After thinking carefully, he didn't ask Li Chengqian why he was chopping firewood. He straightened his body and turned around and said righteously.
"How can the prince chop this firewood alone? Father-in-law, please give me another axe. I can accompany the prince to chop wood together!!"
Your grandma is so smart! ! !
The few servants around him almost swallowed Du He's smart eyes.
I finally hid the firewood again and again just to prevent the prince from chopping it. Why are you here to fan the flames, you bastard? !
