Chapter 20: The Game
Li Er got up, took Queen Changsun's coil, and looked at a large piece of bright yellow on it. Although the outline had gradually emerged, His Majesty Li Er had never seen anything before.
"Guanyinbi, what are you embroidering?"
Empress Changsun smiled: "I don't know. Jing'er painted it by herself. It looks quite cute. She said that after embroidering this thing, it stuffed fluff in the middle and sewed the two sides together. I plan to give it to Yizi after making it out. Yizi will definitely like it."
"Yeah." Speaking of Princess Jinyang, His Majesty Li Er smiled unconsciously: "No matter what her mother gave her, she naturally likes it."
Without Princess Xincheng, Princess Jinyang, who was only ten years old, became His Majesty Li Er's youngest daughter. Whenever she thinks of Princess Jinyang, the corners of His Majesty Li Er's mouth always rise.
"Your Majesty, when it comes to Yizi, I have something to tell you." Queen Changsun said.
"What's the matter?"
"Xizi is already ten years old, and it is not appropriate to live in the Lizheng Hall. It is better to give it to Xizi the warm pavilion built by Chengqiu by Taiye Pool." Empress Changsun looked at His Majesty Li Er.
"That warm pavilion is the intention of Chengqian and Qingque. As for Yizi's bedroom, I will choose another one." His Majesty Li Er said, thinking in his heart which palace to renovate and give it to Yizi.
"Most of the palaces in the palace have been arranged. If you choose another way, you may have to build a large number of buildings. The warm cabinets by Taiye Pool only went to cultivate in winter. They lived in the Lizheng Hall at other times. The warm cabinets were so empty. It would be better to repair them and give them to the slightest, which would not affect my stay in the past, right?" Empress Changsun advised that although the whole country is now up in the Tang Dynasty, there are still people around. Tubo is in the west and east... His Majesty Li Er also wanted to stretch his dragon claws to Goryeo. These Empress Changsun knew that whether it was to renovate the palace or build another palace in the palace, the cost was not a small amount. If you really did this, I believe that impeachment in the court would be indispensable. His Majesty Li Er would definitely be angry again.
In recent years, many pavilions and towers have been built around the warm pavilion. Li Tai paid for someone to build. Without it, Li Tai had money and no place to spend it, so he simply built a house next to Taiye Pool. Li Tai's money was all the dividends sent by money piles over the years. Now the entire barren open space beside Tai was almost occupied by Li Tai. The pavilions and towers and fragrant flowers faded. Entering it, it seemed like he was in the water town of Jiangnan, without the atmospheric and steady atmosphere in the palace at all, so this place has become the favorite place for Queen Changsun, but due to his identity, he could only stay for a few days, and the rest of the time was still in charge of Lizheng Hall.
His Majesty Li Er thought about it carefully. For the palace, the warm pavilion beside Taiye Pool is a pure land, and only there is it worthy of the squid.
"Okay, just renovate the warmer pavilion and give it to Yizi." His Majesty Li Er smiled: "I'm afraid that even if I don't repair the warmer pavilion, Chengqian and Qingque alone will not be wronged by Yizi."
I chatted with Empress Changsun in Lizheng Hall for most of the day and it was not until the day was empty that Deyi carefully reminded me.
"Your Majesty, Empress, it's time to have a meal."
Li Er stood up and said to Empress Changsun: "Don't have lunch today in Lizheng Hall, Deyi."
"I am here." Deyi bowed and replied.
"I will be in the Eastern Palace, Guanyin maid, let's go to Chengqian for a meal today." His Majesty Li Er said with a smile.
"Your Majesty still can't help but want to go over and see the children." Empress Changsun stood up and chuckled: "Then I can only accompany Your Majesty for a walk."
The emperor and the empress took the eunuchs and palace maids around them, and their group went to the East Palace in a mighty manner.
At this time, in the main hall of the East Palace, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were fighting around a game of chess, while Li Ke sat on the side quietly watching the two of them facing each other. Li Zhian sat quietly beside Li Chengqian, occasionally expressing a few opinions on the chess game, and Li Ke nodded and praised.
Next to Li Tai, there was a young girl in her teens. It was Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang. While watching her elder brother and fourth brother fight, she helped Li Tai out of advice. She was calm and calm, as if helping Li Tai was a playful person and did not care about the outcome at all.
To put it bluntly, the current situation is that Li Zhi helps Li Chengqian to deal with Li Tai together, while Princess Jinyang helps Li Tai to fight against the two people on the opposite side. Li Ke sat in the top and acted as the referee.
Judging from the layout strategy of the chessboard, Li Zhi is not as good as Princess Jinyang and Li Tai is not as good as Li Chengqian, which has led to the difficult-to-settle scenes on the chessboard now.
Li Chengqian's wet nurse, Mrs. Sui'an, walked into the hall and saw several masters still playing chess. She quickly spoke out: "Your Highnesses, it's time for lunch, and lunch is ready in the side hall."
"It's okay, I'll go for a meal right after this game." Li Chengqian's eyes were still staring at the chess game, without any slack. His young girl's chess skills were really extraordinary. She deserved to be the true legend of her father. In this game, the two of them killed each other happily.
"Your Majesty is here~~~" With Deyi's shout, His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun both walked into the East Palace Hall. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the tense atmosphere. Their eyes fell on the chessboard among the few people, and a smile appeared on their faces.
"You guys, if you continue like this, the game will not be over in a short while." His Majesty Li Er said.
"My son has met my father." When everyone saw His Majesty Li Er enter the hall, they didn't care about the chess game and stood up to salute.
"Everyone is free. I originally planned to come to Chengqian's East Palace for a meal. It seems that this meal will be out of reach for a while." His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "Guanyin maid, come, let's see how these children play this chess game."
Empress Changsun nodded with a smile.
Princess Jinyang, who was standing on the side of everyone, walked to His Majesty Li Er with a smile: "Father, I'm watching my brothers play chess, except for their richer expressions, it's really boring, otherwise let's change the way of playing."
When he saw Princess Jinyang, His Majesty Li Er's eyes were full of pampering and said gently: "Oh? Chengqian and the others actually made my little Siezi feel bored? Well, what do you want to play with?"
"It's better to do this. Father, look, now, the fourth brother is at a disadvantage in this game of chess. The eldest brother has taken some advantage. It's better to play the remaining chess game by father and Yizi. How about it?" Yizi looked at His Majesty Li Er with a smile.
"Hahahaha, little Shizi wants to play chess with me, don't say I'm bullying you." His Majesty Li Er laughed.
"Then please ask your father to take over the fourth brother's Bai Zi. If you want to take over the advantage of your elder brother, just act as your father and let him go."
