In the East Palace——
Prince Li Chengqian chopped firewood to collect more than two hundred, and then put down the ax in his hand.
As for Du He, Li Chengqian also didn't expect that there would be a scion of a noble family who didn't say anything at all. He could see through the teacher's "deep meaning" in assigning this lesson and practiced with him.
At that moment, Li Chengqian couldn't help but look at Du Hegao in his heart.
And Du He really couldn't understand the prince's quirks. Although he couldn't cut it like four or six, his temperament of sharing joys and sorrows was fully grasped by this guy.
The industry of dog licking is a science.
Not only did Du He chop, he also asked the prince for advice on how to chop.
Doesn't this increase the communication with the prince?
Doesn't this enhance the relationship between you and the prince?
When it comes to thinking, who can I, Du He, lose to?
This guy thinks he has inherited the Du family's cunning style.
After chopping firewood, the two became familiar and sat in the front hall.
With a humble mind, Li Chengqian received him personally.
When the waiter brought the steaming tea that was as white as water, Du He couldn't help but look at it for a while.
In front of you, although the figure is still immature, it already has a mature and steady demeanor, and reaches out its hand to invite you kindly.
"Brother Du, please~"
"Your Highness, please~"
White open into the throat.
Du He couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye. Is it really water, or plain water...
Is this majestic East Palace so poor?
To entertain guests, you don’t even have any tea?
Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince was testing him?
Yes, it must be!
"Your Highness, this tea is quite artistic. It's like the sound of the air in a deep valley, the mist coming out of the dust, and the lingering aftertaste. I didn't expect that at such an age, the prince would be in a state of mind like a great Confucian. I admire him~"
Putting down the tea cup, Du He pretended to be surprised, with a look of great enjoyment and the aftertaste on his face.
On the other hand, I flattered myself so much that I thought I had no leaks.
When Li Chengqian heard this, he had to twitch the corner of his mouth.
You can only drink boiled water at the teacher's place, and you have developed a habit by going back and forth. How cool is it to take a sip of boiled water after finishing your work?
What kind of artistic conception does this have?
However, this guy is really a smart guy.
Li Chengqian carries the position of prince, so he naturally understands more than many children of the same age.
Now that someone comes to his family, it is easy to treat him well. After all, it is Mr. Du Ruhui...
He is the son of Du Gong, so my words and deeds will inevitably be transmitted to Du Gong through him, and then to my father.
Therefore, it is best to get close to this person.
Although Li Chengqian, who has experienced an accident for the first time, is a little immature, he has the guidance of the great scholars in the past and Li Shimin, and Li Chengqian is also quite mature.
With Du He being such an old man, within a short while, the two of them were already laughing and talking about him.
At this point, Li Chengqian saw that Du He was extremely clever and quick-thinking, and he couldn't help but want to find someone to solve the problem in his mind.
He has gone back to some courtyard a long time ago. If he doesn't go to the teacher for a day, the joy of life and study will be much less.
Furthermore, if he takes care of his homework for a long time, Ying'er will surpass him in the future, which would be too shameful.
No, he must return to the teacher early and listen to the teacher's teachings.
"Brother Du, I've been having a hard time recently. I don't want to ask for an explanation~"
The opportunity has come~
Isn't it the purpose of coming to the East Palace to solve the prince's problems and be his good friend?
Du He had a look of disloyalty on his face.
"Oh? I wonder what kind of problem can cause His Highness to worry? Why don't you tell me in detail, and I can see if I can help His Highness solve the problem."
What problems do you have as a child?
It’s just that I have too much homework and want to run out and play.
It would be a shame if there was a little girl that fell in love with me.
Let me take care of these things for you.
Li Chengqian scratched his head and drank a glass of boiled water with some distress. His little face unknowingly showed a bitter melon look, and he said melancholy.
"Recently, old... ahem, I have offended someone recently. As for me, I want to ask for forgiveness, but I don't know how to do it~"
Regarding the teacher's matter, my father said that he himself was not allowed to tell anyone about the fact that he studied under the teacher without his permission.
Otherwise, it may bring disaster to the teacher.
Li Chengqian remembered it firmly, and when the words came to his lips, he quickly changed his words.
Can you still... make the prince worry about someone who has offended him?
Could it be the current Holy Emperor?
Du He had to stare at this. If this was the case, he really had to be careful.
After thinking carefully, Du He asked again in a slow voice.
"May I ask Your Highness, is that person close to Your Highness?"
Li Chengqian replied without hesitation: "That's natural!"
The teacher must be someone close to me. Who in this world can treat me like the teacher and teach me mysterious knowledge?
If not this prince is close to you, who else could he be?
Du He's eyes were startled after hearing this. Could it be that he was really His Majesty?
"May I ask, Your Highness, is this person the Holy One?"
Immediately, Du He had to ask carefully.
"That's not true~"
Li Chengqian waved his hand. His father had never been kind to him recently, but it had been a while since his father had scolded him.
Not Your Majesty?
Now the queen is still recovering from her injuries in the palace, and the empress has always been tolerant, so she must not be the empress.
Who is that?
This made Du He think about it for a while.
"Your Highness, I don't know how old this person is? Is he a man or a woman?"
Li Chengqian asked with alert eyes: "Why do you ask?"
"Your Highness, we should prescribe the right medicine for the disease. We need to know the age of the person so that we can roughly understand the nature of his heart. In what way~"
What he said...seems to make sense...
Li Chengqian couldn't help but say: "He is only twenty years old, and he is a man."
Only twenty, man?
Are there any young people in Chang'an? How could he make the prince angry and apologize to him?
Only twenty...
With these conditions as a foreshadowing, Du He's heart was spinning rapidly, and finally his heart moved and his eyes lit up.
Could it be... that he is the prince's cousin, Changsun Chong!
Yes!
The eldest son's family has always been on the prince's side. In the future, the number one supporter of the East Palace will definitely be the eldest son's family.
At that time, the Duke of Qi was the prince's uncle, and his son, Sun Chong, must be the prince's close target.
If he accidentally offended Changsun Chong, the prince would really have to find a way to apologize and apologize without damaging the close relationship.
After all, the eldest son's family is the Queen's ancestral family. Apart from the direct lineage, the eldest grandson's family in the world is the closest to the prince.
He is only twenty years old, but he is still a man.
If he didn't run away, wouldn't it be Changsun Chong?
Alas, I am indeed very perceptive and very witty.
While thinking about it, Du He's eyes were firm and he straightened his back confidently.
"Your Highness, since you want to make amends and express your apology, it is natural that you can't go around and do whatever you want. It's best if you do whatever you want~"
Li Chengqian listened and found that it did make sense.
But if you think about it carefully, what hobbies can a teacher have?
money?
There is no shortage of teachers ~
Power?
What are you thinking about? How can an unworldly person like the teacher, who is aloof from the outside world, have the ambition of power that ordinary people have.
What else?
I can't think of it...
Everything the teacher has is his.
How could the treasure he envied be the one who could be like his teacher?
For a moment, Li Chengqian had a headache thinking about it.
Seeing Li Chengqian's thoughtful expression, Du He said "confidently".
"Your Highness, that person must be a common man who is not short of money and things, right?"
The Crown Prince has a thin face. Although he has offended Changsun Chong, if it is put on the bright side, the Crown Prince's apology to others will be easy to talk about and not easy to hear.
How can I, who is as considerate as this young master, criticize His Highness the Crown Prince?
This gentleman is so considerate~
