Aunt Chun stopped in a deserted place and said to Li Hong: "The queen has replaced two palace servants who have followed her for five years."
Li Hong frowned and said, "At least I won't replace you."
Aunt Chun shook her head and said, "The queen pinched my face one day and said that I was her inner demon."
Li Hong saw that Aunt Chun couldn't help but tremble when she said this, so he took her hand and said, "I want it again today. I need you to manage my bedroom."
Aunt Chun nodded heavily and said, "Don't be too obvious, otherwise I will die."
Li Hong crossed Aunt Chun and walked in front and entered Shangyang Palace.
Shangyang Palace is a very large palace, so much so that there are as many as six flying phoenix pillars in the palace.
The vastness of Shangyang Palace can be seen from the number of pillars. Li Hong felt that his footsteps seemed to echo in Changyang Palace.
The queen mother didn't like cramped bedrooms, which was different from all the people of the Tang Dynasty, and even different from her father's habits. After all, the place where his father actually slept was only a dozen or so steps wide.
No one was sleeping in the main hall, and the same was naturally true for the queen. After passing through the echoing Shangyang Palace, Li Hong came to the back hall, which was the real palace of the queen mother.
Shangyang Palace is a majestic palace complex. When you come here, it is easy to compare it to the Ziwei Palace of your father.
Li Hong never understood that after his mother gave birth to Taiping, only half a month later, when she should have been resting in bed to recuperate, she did not care about her body and insisted on making such a big noise in Shangyang Palace.
Not long after Grandma Chun entered the palace, she took Li Hong in.
As soon as he entered, Li Hong felt the difference.
There was a faint scent of jasmine in the bedroom. The queen had always preferred sandalwood in the past.
Wu Mei, with a forehead wipe tied on her forehead, was sitting on a bed, with a little baby girl lying next to her.
It can be seen from the fact that she fanned the baby girl with a small round fan that the mother had great pity for the baby girl.
"Mother, you shouldn't fan your sister."
Li Hong came to Wu Mei and took the round fan, and specially closed the gauze curtain to protect Taiping while sleeping.
Wu Mei looked at Li Hong and said: "I know you don't like me taking care of so many things at this time. Your father also told me about it before. Please tell me why I am so impatient?"
Li Hong shook his head and said, "My master Yun Chu once taught me something."
Wu Mei said: "What are you talking about?"
Li Hong looked at Taiping, who was sleeping soundly, and said calmly: "Try not to guess what your father and mother are thinking. If you really need to know, just ask directly. Guessing will only do bad things and alienate the relationship between father and son, mother and son.
"
Wu Mei said: "In other words, as long as it is a matter between your father and mother, you are going to sit on the sidelines and not help each other, right?"
Li Hong spread his hands and said: "Whether my father is injured or my mother is injured, I am an unfilial son. Your son is an absolutely smart person and will not do such a thankless thing."
Wu Mei said: "You should pick yourself clean."
Li Hong looked at Wu Mei and suddenly said: "Does the queen believe in Taoism?"
Wu Mei glanced at Li Hong and said, "If you plan to persuade me not to have contact with Luo Gongyuan again, don't say it."
Li Hong said with a smile: "My child just wants to cut off this man's head and bury the body in the soil for ten days to see if he can really survive."
Wu Mei sneered and said, "Why don't you try Ye Fashan's wall-penetrating technique and Zhang Guo's immortality technique?"
Li Hong raised his head and looked at the algae roof of the main hall and said slowly: "I really want to set up three oil pans in the Luoyang market, wait for the oil pans to boil, and then put Ye Fashan, Zhang Guo, and Luo Gongyuan in and see.
Will they survive?"
Wu Mei said: "Get out of the frying pan? A warlock used it before. It's not a brilliant Taoist skill."
Li Hong continued to raise his head and said: "When I was in the third year of Xianqing, my master once pressed my hand into a boiling oil pan and fried it."
Wu Mei's eyes immediately became sharp, and she looked at Li Hong's hand and asked, "Why is your hand fine?"
Li Hong laughed and said, "It's because the kid has thick skin. That's what the master said at that time. In order to test whether all the people in our royal family have thick skin, the kid put Li Si's hand into the oil pan and fried it again."
In the end, Yun Jin didn't even let go of his hand and blasted them all. In the end, it proved that we all have thick skin.
From then on, I no longer believed in all Taoism."
Wu Mei frowned and said, "Is there any fraud involved?"
Li Hong said with a smile: "If the queen wants to see it, I will put up the oil pan and fry it again, so that the queen will not believe it."
Wu Mei said: "What's the reason?"
Li Hong shook his head and said: "You can't tell me. If I tell you, I won't be able to deceive those Taoist masters.
Mother, don’t be too credulous in the words of these monsters. When Fu Yi’s son broke the diamond horns from an antelope horn, it has proven that these monsters will do anything to win the favor of the royal family."
Wu Mei did not answer, but instead smiled and said to Li Hong: "The East Palace has always been deserted, you can choose twelve palace residents to go back."
Li Hong smiled and said, "Can anyone do it?"
Wu Mei looked at Li Hong and said, "Let's talk about it first."
Li Hong pointed at Aunt Chun who was shrinking her body into the curtain as much as possible and said: "I want Aunt Chun."
Wu Mei raised her eyebrows and said word by word: "You don't want so many beauties, why do you want a stupid and ugly one?"
Li Hongdao: "My child is very sure. Aunt Chun made the bed for the child and folded the quilt. The child felt very at ease. The child can eat the food that Aunt Chun brought to the child with confidence. Aunt Chun watched the child sleep, so the child can sleep peacefully."
Distractions."
Wu Mei said: "Mother Chun, you don't have to think about it. I also want someone to watch me sleep peacefully. Do you really not want those beauties?"
Li Hong sneered and said, "I don't want to follow the same path as my father."
Wu Mei said disdainfully: "That is the path of the emperor."
Li Hongdao: "I will follow my imperial path."
"Your path to becoming an emperor is to grow vegetables?"
Li Hong nodded and said: "The three emperors and five emperors became emperors and emperors through this. Your children should have no problem doing what they have done again, right?"
Wu Mei was silent for a moment and said: "This is indeed a broad and safe path. Although the results are slower, once it breaks out, it will become an invincible king."
Li Hong laughed and said: "My father is in his prime, and my mother is also in her prime. Therefore, my son must choose this slow-effective but invincible method to be worthy of the nurturing grace of his father and mother."
"Is this the path that Yunchu arranged for you?"
Li Hong nodded and said: "Doesn't it feel like the Tao is natural and comes naturally?
The master once said that in front of the public, all conspiracies and tricks are just passing smoke and cannot withstand the test of time."
Wu Mei looked at her somewhat proud son and said, "You underestimate everyone in the world."
Li Hongdao: "I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty. I should have the world in my heart and treat the world as my child. Even if my child does not have such ability, my child's view of the world is the magnanimity and mind that Li Hong should have."
Wu Mei sighed and said: "You are still too young. Yun Chu and others are in Chang'an and cannot teach you all the time. You have sent all the officials of the East Palace around you all over the world. You should be the weakest at this time.
when."
Li Hongdao: "Why is my mother so melancholy? There is an emperor in Luoyang City and my mother is here. Who can hurt me in the slightest?"
Wu Mei looked at Li Hong with an unclear expression and whispered: "You are no longer a child. Now that you are married, no one will treat you as a child anymore.
Don't you feel that since you married Mr. Pei, your contact with Chang'an has decreased a lot?
Pei wants to get the position of crown princess, Yun may not have such an idea. If Pei succeeds, Yun will naturally feel dissatisfied.
Although Yunchu and Pei Xingjian are both great talents in the world, their styles are very different. Yunchu is short-sighted but meticulous, while Pei Xingjian is ambitious but full of loopholes. Are you sure your choice is correct?"
Speaking of Naha, Li Hong felt a wave of evil anger rising from his stomach. He looked at his mother and said, "My father and my mother helped me choose this."
A smile appeared on Wu Mei's face and she said, "Are you unhappy?"
Li Hong was dejected and sat on the carpet under the bed and said, "I actually have no choice."
Wu Mei looked at Li Hong and said, "I want to perform the gift of sacrifice at the Taishan Ceremony. What do you think?"
Li Hong shook his head and said, "I don't like the child."
"Why?"
"My father doesn't want it, and the court officials don't want it."
"I'm asking for your opinion."
Li Hong spread his hands and said, "My child's opinion is not important. When my mother becomes a Zen master, my mother will ask me again, and I will know the answer."
Wu Mei pondered for a moment and said to Li Hong: "Please step back, I'm a little tired."
Li Hong stood up and saluted and said: "The mother is the most cultivated, my son, please leave."
After saying that, he turned around and left the queen's palace.
Wu Mei looked at the colorful algae top and said to herself: "It seems that he doesn't want to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people."
An old female official came out from behind the curtain and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be a great leader in the future. This is good for the Tang Dynasty, but it is not good for the Queen. In this regard, the Crown Prince is not as good as King Lu Li Xian."
Wu Mei said proudly: "I can't give birth to a son like Li Xian..."
On the way out of Shangyang Palace, Li Hong said apologetically to Aunt Chun: "I want it, but my mother won't give it to me."
Aunt Chun chuckled and said: "It's already very good. His Highness the Crown Prince has already rescued this slave once. If you don't want it, the Queen will not value my kindness. If you do, the Queen can continue to value this slave. How about it, right?"
It’s a great thing for slaves.”
"In this case, you can continue to stay here with the Queen Mother. As soon as the Queen Mother lets go, you can come to the East Palace as soon as possible. The lonely king wants you anytime."
After Li Hong gave Aunt Chun a concrete answer, he walked through the beautiful palace crowd again and was about to leave Shangyang Palace. He saw Pei Wanying sitting in the pavilion and saw her being surrounded by a large group of women.
Surrounded like a moon.
Knowing that Pei Wanying must be enjoying herself very much at this moment, she didn't go over, let alone say hello.
Just when he was about to step out of Shangyang Palace, he found Li Xian and He Lan Minzhi waiting outside the palace gate, seemingly wanting to meet the queen.
Li Xian and He Lanmin saw the prince coming out and hurriedly came forward to greet him. Li Hong frowned and said to Li Xian: "The queen has just given birth and has not yet given birth. It is what a son should do to meet him at this time."
?"
He Lanminzhi cupped his hands and said, "It's the humble minister Meng Lang."
Li Hong looked at He Lanmin and said, "If you want to do something, do it openly and honestly. Sometimes taking shortcuts will only take you a long way."
Helan Minzhi glanced at Li Xian, who looked as wretched as a quail, sighed and saluted again: "I'm presumptuous."
Li Hong snorted and left minding his own business.
Li Hong walked away, and Li Xian straightened his back. He Lan Minzhi smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is really majestic."
Li Xian said indifferently: "He is the prince."
He Lanminzhi smiled and said: "Li Chengqian is also a prince."
Li Xian waved his sleeves impatiently and said, "Please help me finish the things I have to do first, otherwise, they will not be willing to speak for you in the court."
He Lanmin said: "Then it depends on what the prime ministers want me to do."
Li Xiandao: "Do you have any choice? As long as they say something, the Anxi army will invade Xiaobolu in the shortest possible time. The little country you have conquered will be like a chicken or a dog in their eyes."
