The next morning, it started to rain lightly. Although it was of no use to the crops in the field, it was very comfortable for those who went out to look for food in the morning. Moreover, the rain could also convert some edible

It’s pretty good to be inspired by wild vegetables and the like.

The injured horse had no choice but to stay at the inn, and Ye Tan's thoughts were not here. He could only hope to leave here as soon as possible.

After the carriage was on the road again, Huang Hao stopped talking. Li Tai seemed a little depressed. He had no choice. He ran away this time. If he goes back now, if he doesn't give a good explanation, he may be beaten badly. Unfortunately, Ye Tan

There is no time to pay attention to him.

In the afternoon, the carriage arrived in Chang'an.

It was not a big deal, and there were usually a lot of carriages of all kinds, but this time it was different. It was still incredible that so many carriages came in a disaster year.

Ye Tan needs to go to court the next morning to see Li Shimin, but he knows that he will definitely be called over in the middle of the night, because if he is rejected, it will be embarrassing. Will Ye Tan be directly called to him at that time?

Pull him out and chop him to death? This is impossible. What if other problems arise? The things we usually see seem to happen naturally, but unfortunately, it is simply impossible.

When the carriage passed through Chang'an Street, many people hid behind the gatehouse and watched, as if they were looking for something.

Ye Tan would not believe it if there was no assassination tonight.

After entering Suiyuan through the back door, Ye Tan got off the carriage, sent someone to take Li Tai back to the palace, and went into the study.

Suiyuan is almost the same as before, the only difference is that there are more water plants and the surroundings are greener.

As soon as his carriage came in, many people who were close to him or who were not waiting for him also followed suit. Qin Qiong did not say a word to Ye Tan since she got on the carriage. She went back to her mansion as soon as she entered the city.

Then without waiting for a rest, he went to the palace.

After dinner, the sun was still shining brightly outside and the room was stuffy. Ye Tan came to the pavilion and looked at the rippling blue water of the lake without saying a word.

Li Tai entered the palace tremblingly. Everything here was familiar yet strange. However, when he originally planned to find a few people to help him, he found the maid next to his mother standing there and looking at her expressionlessly.

He said to himself, "His Royal Highness the King of Yue, the Queen has invited you."

Unable to help but tremble, Li Tai said directly, "I plan to go back and freshen up before going to see my queen mother."

"The Queen has ordered that the fragrant soup has been prepared for Your Highness."

Li Tai knew that he could not defeat his mother, so he could only follow her in despair.

The palace is still so deserted. Even at the busiest time, there is not too much enthusiasm, because only the emperor has this qualification, and the current emperor is very hard working to find food for his people.

, looking for work, so the people in the palace who live by looking at the emperor's face dare not say a word.

Li Tai wears ordinary clothes and looks very out of place when walking in the splendid imperial city. However, no one dares to underestimate him, because after returning this time, he may be promoted and his title will also go up.

Therefore, some of the more courageous palace maids even ogle him, because life in the palace is really not as comfortable as people outside think.

Li Tai quickly arrived at Queen Changsun's palace. Since he could really walk, he was not qualified to come in here, so he could only stand at the door and wait. After all, he did something wrong this time.

Although it was already night, the light here was already transparent because it got dark late. As for why this happened, he knew it, but unfortunately he couldn't tell it because he would be laughed at, so he could only lower his head to show respect.

There are all kinds of calculations running around in my mind.

Ever since Empress Changsun was rescued by Ye Tan, she has had no shortage of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Although it is hot, it is not as hot as Li Shimin. She hides in the palace and cannot come out. It is surrounded by ice.

, she could sleep well without ice, and she wouldn't sweat all over her body. She didn't know why, but she knew it must have something to do with Ye Tan. Deep down in her heart, she was afraid of Ye Tan.

, something will always happen if such a person becomes friends with his son, but what Ye Tan did later made her feel a little guilty. He really wanted Datang to be good, and if he wanted Datang to be good, he had to

Help your husband, help your son.

Therefore, sometimes, she is a little confused, but even so, she is worried that her son has not come back after running away for so long. However, as a prince, you should not run away for no reason.

Yes, so I need to be taught a lesson.

Normally, Li Tai's crying would have spread all around, but this time it didn't seem to happen. She drank a cup of tea in confusion, then stood up, walked to the door, and saw Li Tai with his head lowered.

She was thinking casually and didn't know what to say. She walked over slowly and heard Li Tai's mouth saying, "In the beginning, human beings are inherently good by nature. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart..."

"What is this?" Although she only heard a few dozen sentences, she, who had been a talented girl since she was a child, couldn't help but ask.

"The enlightenment knowledge of Yejiacun, the Three-Character Classic." Li Tai blurted it out without thinking. Suddenly he remembered something. When he looked up, he saw his mother. He couldn't help but bowed and said, "My son, I pay homage to my mother, and I wish her all the best."

Annuity is safe.”

"Let me see if you have lost weight. Life outside must be very hard." Looking at Li Tai, she couldn't help but feel motherly love. She directly stretched out her hand to touch his face, because the baby fat on his face was gone. This is

It was a show of enduring hardship, but Li Tai couldn't help but take a step back, letting her palms stop in the air, stunned for a moment, then shook her head a little sadly, "Come in."

When children grow up, they know whether they are advancing or retreating, and they don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

It was really hot outside, so Li Tai was naturally willing to go in and feel the cold in the room. Unfortunately, when he walked in, he found that it was still very hot. He looked around in confusion, then looked at Empress Changsun and said, "Mother, you

Why is it so hot in the palace, how can I sleep?"

"Come here, prepare a bowl of sour plum soup." Empress Changsun did not answer, but ordered. Then she sat on the brocade couch, holding an ordinary round fan in her hand and said, "Don't you have ice cubes in Songzhou?"

?”

"Yeah, if we don't have ice when we sleep there at night, we won't be able to sleep at all. Even though it's a border fortress, it's much hotter than here." Li Tai said matter-of-factly, while looking around, his eyes finally fell.

On Queen Changsun's shoes, you would not be able to see them if you follow the rules, because the Queen's skirts can cover her feet. But now that the country is short of supplies, she also needs to set an example.

"Queen mother, how can you be so frugal?" Li Tai asked a little sadly when he saw this, and at the same time wiped his forehead with his sleeve, sweating.

Seeing that he was wearing ordinary clothes, Empress Changsun said with a smile, "There is nothing wrong with you, Queen Mother. It's just that you, as a prince, are dressed so plainly. Do you think Songzhou's education is so capable?"

"Mom, you are overthinking it. This is the standard outfit of Fanlong Academy. If I dare to wear other clothes, I will definitely be beaten." Li Tai was confused for a moment, looked down at his clothes, and couldn't help but

Said with a smile.

"Who dares?" Empress Changsun looked at Li Tai carefully this time and found that although the boy had lost some weight, he was in great spirits. This energy does not come from not eating well, but when she heard that her son was beaten

, still couldn’t help but ask.

"There are too many people. Mr. Li Gang, Mr. Li Shi, Mr. Yu Shan, Mr. Dong Lai, Brother Ye Tan, and my classmates, they all dare to do it." Li Tai didn't think there was any problem, and he also used violence and swear words.

When the time came, there was no need to tell her this.

"You, you must be naughty." After hearing these people, Empress Changsun didn't know what to say, but these people could really be rough with him.

"Mother, you have wronged me. I am like a little daughter-in-law in Songzhou, and I don't dare to go out to play." When Li Tai saw the sour plum soup, he quickly took a sip and felt relieved, and then said aggrievedly.

"Why, you can't go out to play?" Queen Changsun asked curiously. This kid usually goes out to play whenever he finds an opportunity in the palace. How could he be so honest?

"No, it's because I don't want to go out." Li Tai said a little embarrassed, and then took another sip. He always felt that the one without Songzhou tasted better.

"Why?"

Li Tai calmed down his thoughts and continued, "This drought and locust plague affected many places in the Tang Dynasty. At first, I wanted to go out to see how the victims were doing, but I didn't expect that there were construction sites everywhere.

I was moved a few times by their enthusiasm, and I couldn't help but try to help, but it was always a disservice."

"It's not helpful, what do you mean?" Queen Changsun looked at her second son, could he still go to work?

"Yes, although Songzhou has also encountered disasters now, because brother Ye Tan made preparations in advance, he started to build the city, which required a lot of manpower and material resources. If he did this in normal times, everyone would definitely have objections.

Yes, but now if you don’t work, you won’t have food to eat, so everyone acquiesced to his approach. However, some children were too young to work, so they were left in the shack. At that time, Erchen saw several children who wanted to

To drink water, I planned to prepare some hot water for them, because Songzhou has regulations that do not allow them to drink cold water at any time unless their lives are in danger. Violators will be severely punished. Therefore, Erchen planned to boil some hot water for them to drink, but the result

, accidentally set someone's shack on fire, and then had no choice but to move the children out. However, a child peed at that time and peed all over the child. I originally planned to remedy the situation, but one

The seven-year-old girl looked at Erchen and said something, which made Erchen feel really embarrassed to go out."

Empress Changsun was amused to hear that her son could actually do these things. Although they were all unsavory things, she knew better how useful these things were to her son and couldn't help but ask, "The little girl said

What?"

"Even boiling water can set the house on fire. If you are asked to cook, you will burn the grassland?" Li Tai didn't remember the girl's appearance, but he could still feel the contempt in his eyes.

"Then what?" Queen Changsun asked next.

"Then I don't know who spread the news. When Erchen went there for the second time, the children were on guard against him. The most annoying thing was a four-year-old baby who actually said something to me when he saw him.

A little kid next to him who was about the same age said, "Look, you can't be like him in the future, we are not three-year-old kids anymore."

"Haha..." Queen Changsun couldn't help laughing when she heard this. Her voice was particularly harsh in such a quiet palace, but it seemed cheerful.

It was the first time for Li Tai to see his mother like this. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Is it that funny?

The other eunuchs and palace maids all retreated directly. No matter when their master was very happy or very unhappy, they had to leave. When does the master like to kill people the most, not other places, but at such times, people

In extreme cases, they will always behave strangely, leaving you wondering what to do.

After a while, Empress Changsun stopped laughing. It was probably the most relaxed time for her during this period. If it weren't for Ye Tan's help, she would have definitely induced asthma. But at this time, she felt very happy, and then

He looked at Li Tai and said, "You deserve it."

"Yes, I also felt very embarrassed, so when I was in the academy, I had to burn a fire in the kitchen for a month before I learned how to do it. It turns out that making a fire is really not easy." Li Tai thought about when he wanted to go.

, the captain of the bodyguard still disagreed, saying how could a member of the royal family do such a thing, but he went anyway in order to be able to go out. As a result, three days before the burning, the cook said to the gentleman from the academy, this person is

traitor.

"Why do you say you are a traitor?" Queen Changsun asked curiously. It is not a trivial matter for a prince to be a traitor.

"Because I burned a cook's hair for three days by burning a fire, and he even made rice with raw rice because the stones were not picked up when washing the rice, and I almost knocked out a gentleman's teeth because of the fire.

I didn't pay attention to the firewood being dry enough, and as a result, a classmate who was with me was almost fainted from the smoke. However, even so, Erchen still persevered."

Li Tai's description became more and more interesting. Although Empress Changsun did not laugh, she kept asking questions with great curiosity. In the end, she found that although her son told embarrassing things, she didn't care at all.

She knew Tai's problem. Although he was smart, he was not big-minded enough. There was no way to compare this with Li Chengqian. He seemed to be much better now.

"Then you can bear the ridicule of those people?" Queen Changsun continued to ask, this boy does not have a good temper.

"I couldn't help it at the beginning, but later I realized that what I said was right. In the academy, it may be different from other places. I was wrong, but I still didn't admit it, didn't correct it, and didn't make the mistake right.

If you do such things, you will be despised."

Li Tai's thinking began to change. Although it was just a simple thinking, it made people feel that this child was much more cheerful now.

"Who's making the noise?"
