Chapter 80 Seemingly simple and honest snake language
Chapter 80 Seemingly Honest and Venomous Snake Talk
The current emperor should be considered a relatively competent emperor.
He has a neutral temperament and is willing to do things.
He has no hobbies of killing people, nor does he harm the country with his beauty.
Even the most favored ministers like Lin Ji were unable to harm the country or the people.
There were no great achievements, and no major disasters were encountered. Although there were twists and turns, overall it was relatively stable.
The original wife, Empress Wen, was the eldest daughter of the Empress Dowager's natal family. But in choosing her, the Empress Dowager made a mistake. This woman has been loyal to the emperor since she married him, and has never fought for the Wen family.
What. So, although in the later period, the emperor hated the empress dowager, empress Wen's position was still very stable.
It's just that Queen Wen was in poor health, and the prince she gave birth to was also in poor health, so this good momentum was wasted.
The emperor is not very fond of women, and so far he has had ten sons.
They are the eldest son of the emperor, Li Ze, who was also the prince of the current dynasty and the son of Empress Wen. He was quite talented and had a good character. He was a little plump and had severe asthma. He had been married for many years and had no children.
The second prince, Prince Jin Li Xu, was the one Li Cheng saw at the city gate before, and his mother and concubine passed away.
The third prince, Prince Xuan Li Shi, and Princess Xingrong were twins. They were both born in such auspicious circumstances that the late emperor even let him visit them several times. The emperor was also proud of himself for being able to create such auspiciousness, coupled with such a
Mother and concubine... So it's no surprise what these two look like. Li Shi was not smart, and his homework was average, but he was very talented in riding and shooting. He used to walk around in a carefree and arrogant way... Later, he rode out
He was involved in an accident, and his right knee happened to fall on a rock and was broken. His contented life had just begun... and ended.
The fourth prince, Jing Wang Li Lan, is the eldest son of Concubine De. He has a handsome appearance and a slender figure. He is usually gentle and low-key. He is not competitive and does not cause trouble. He is average in his homework and can complete the tasks assigned by the emperor, not to mention outstanding. He
He is a few years younger than his three brothers and had just gotten married. In his previous life, he was the one who finally ascended the throne.
The fifth prince, Li Xiao, was born to Concubine Xian, but died unexpectedly before they got married. Concubine Xian couldn't bear it, and it took two years before he died.
The biological mother of the Sixth Prince, King Zheng Li Qing, was the prince's wife when he was living in the palace. Her position was not high, but she was very good-looking. In the early years, she had a dispute with Concubine Li, and then you know... she died later. There are rumors that she was
Concubine Li was bullied too much and died of depression. At that time, there was a little censor who said a few words without causing any splash. The emperor placed him next to the queen, and some people have speculated... Li Qing's male and female looks are very good.
He is delicate, maintains his status as "noble", does good homework, and is very arrogant. He only respects the prince and does not pay attention to other brothers. He is similar in age to Li Cheng and is not engaged.
The Seventh Prince becomes King Li Cheng, who is the pig head.
The eighth prince Li Jin was also born to Concubine De. He was a few years younger than Li Cheng. He had a flamboyant temperament and loved to play and make trouble. He fell asleep when he read a book. He was scolded and punished for this but he did not change.
The ninth prince, Li Yi, was also born to Concubine Li. His facial features were very similar to Concubine Li, and he was very handsome. The emperor learned from previous lessons and did not let Concubine Li take care of this son, even though it was still in her name... Li Yi was very popular with the emperor.
He also taught him personally. Therefore, Li Yi's education was pretty good.
The tenth prince, Li Dian, was born to Jieyu and is still young.
In recent years, the emperor has cut corners in staying in the palace, so there are relatively few newborn girls.
The night after Li Cheng came back, a small family dinner was held in the palace, mainly for Li Cheng to meet his brothers.
The emperor was very interested. He took Li Cheng in front and talked for a long time. When the time came, he took him to the main hall at the back.
In the main hall, the prince, several princes, the untitled prince, Concubine De and a group of concubines and princesses were all standing there waiting for the emperor.
The emperor and Li Cheng came in, and everyone paid tribute to the emperor.
The emperor took Li Cheng to pay tribute to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was now a rich old lady, cheerful, and she didn't know what she was happy about.
Concubine Li followed everyone's gestures and saluted, but her eyes were fixed on the person next to the emperor. At first glance, she didn't recognize it... She never expected that Li Cheng was so tall and powerful! She looked up and down with suspicion.
I couldn't stop looking at it.
The emperor sat down with a smile and said to his eunuch, "Fat Chen, let them see you!"
The fat eunuch came over quickly and said, "Master Qi, this is our Concubine De."
Li Cheng bowed seriously.
Fatty Chen carefully brought him to Concubine Li again, "This is Concubine Li and Princess Xingrong." The two ladies stood together and looked at Li Cheng.
Li Cheng first saluted Princess Xingrong, "Empress Li Fei!" and then saluted Concubine Li, "Big Sister!"
Li Fei "..." I am so ugly?
Princess "..." How old am I?
Empress Li Fei must have been the first to jump up, "You little bastard! You don't even recognize me?! Look at me..." After saying that, she came over.
Li Cheng hid behind the emperor, "Dad! She scolded you!"
The emperor almost fainted with anger. He thought that the dinner party would be uneasy, so he specially asked Concubine Li to give instructions. He also personally gave instructions to Li Cheng just now, but he never expected...it would be like this from the beginning!
He shouted with a stern face, "Shut up, stop! Anyone who dares to make trouble again will be dragged out and beaten!"
...What is this word?!
Concubine De and several other concubines all lowered their heads slightly, hiding their smiles.
Yan Zhaoyi also lowered his head, but he was very disapproving in his heart. Is this the royal harem? The queen is seriously ill, the queen mother is old, and the harem is managed by concubines. Look at today's banquet, and look at their behavior! How is this decent?
!
The emperor is good at everything, but he is a little unclear about his treatment of Concubine Li. After all, she has been married to the royal family for more than 20 years and has not made any progress at all. It is because of the lack of rules in the harem and the emperor's connivance! What's the point of being like this now?
Okay? One day, she will cause big trouble. If she manages the harem by herself... Humph!
Seeing that the emperor was angry, Concubine Li refused to accept it. She pointed at Li Cheng and said, "Your Majesty, you promised me that you would scold him!"
The emperor said, "Shut up!"
Then he turned to the fat eunuch and said, "Go on!"
The fat eunuch next to him guided Li Cheng to meet the emperor's women.
Li Cheng saluted each one.
After the emperor's concubines met, the fat eunuch first introduced the prince respectfully, "Master Qi, this is your eldest brother, His Royal Highness the prince!"
Li Cheng had a good impression of this prince: "Brother! How good are you always?!"
The prince's voice was soft, with a smile on his face: "Brother is very good! Seventh brother, thank you for your hard work! You have endured hardships and hardships for so many years, and you have built a great career for your father. You are doing a good job!"
Li Cheng rubbed his head with a silly smile on his face.
The prince shook his head and said with a smile, "Father, my seventh brother is so majestic! With such a big man, he is the one who looks most like you among our brothers!"
Although it was a joke, the emperor was quite pleased with it.
The prince still smiled and said, "This is your sister-in-law! Do you remember?"
Li Cheng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, the sesame candy made by my sister-in-law is delicious!"
The Crown Princess has extremely white skin and elegant temperament. She smiled and said, "Seventh brother." It can be seen that the Crown Prince and his wife are very close friends.
The emperor looked back and saw that the second prince Li Xu had not come. "Where is Li Xu?!" He was unhappy.
In fact, no one notified Li Xulai. If no one called him, he couldn't come. But if he didn't come, the emperor would...
"Okay...I don't even know how to take a look at my brother when he comes back." The emperor said coldly, looking for punishment again!
When Li Cheng heard this, he quickly explained, "Dad, did you not tell the second brother? The second brother went to the city gate to pick me up yesterday."
After hearing this, the emperor looked calm and said no more.
Next are the third prince, Prince Ling Li Shi, and his princess Wang.
In the beginning, this brother bullied him a lot. Especially after Concubine Pang's death, she wanted his property and if he didn't give it, she would beat her up. At that time... I was young, but he was quite powerful and could jump.
.
And now...
Li Cheng looked at Li Shi and looked between the two legs, "Third brother?! Huh? Didn't you say your leg was broken? Isn't that good? Both of them are there!? Which one is broken?
?Is it made of wood? Can you still walk?"
He became a curious baby...
Li Shi "..." How could anyone dare to talk to him like this?! He was so angry that he stepped forward and said viciously, "Say it again!"
But Li Cheng said, "What are you saying again? Third brother, my younger brother is caring about you! Why are you so anxious!?"
Li Shi yelled, raised his hand and struck! Li Cheng blocked the attack with his arm, and the force was so strong that Li Shi was knocked back two steps and almost fell.
The emperor was so angry that he said, "Stop it!!"
When Concubine Li saw this scene, she immediately rushed over and said, "How dare you hit your brother, you little beast..." The maid next to her had already received the emperor's order. When she saw something was wrong, she went up to pull her.
The emperor was so angry, what else could he eat? "Concubine Li is not feeling well, please go down first!!"
"I don't...well..." Several palace maids pulled and pulled Concubine Li away.
Li Shi turned pale with anger, bowed to the emperor, and limped away.
Li Cheng looked at him, made a strange face, smiled, and didn't take it seriously at all, and then met with several brothers.
The emperor shook his head... He felt very regretful. He really shouldn't have made Concubine Li angry with me so much...
After seeing everyone, everyone sat down and started eating.
Li Cheng seemed to be sensible now, and he even toasted to the emperor and the eldest brother. He said a few words that didn't convey what he meant. Anyway, everyone guessed that he should say something nice...
The emperor was a little helpless and could only give a few instructions, which was that everyone should be in harmony and so on.
Princess Xingrong was angry and said with a sneer, "Seventh brother has changed so much. My mother and concubine dare to contradict me, and my brother dares to take action. There is a saying that you are proud of your merits... I am so arrogant in front of my father and the prince. I am so arrogant."
It seems like you don’t take anyone seriously!?”
Li Cheng drank the wine and said, "Father, when my son was in the northwest, the deputy guard at Mingguan was the distant cousin of his deceased eldest brother-in-law! When he saw his son, he had been inquiring about the affairs of the Duke's Mansion in the capital city and was concerned about it.
He is looking after his little niece. His wife died last year and he has not remarried yet. He is only forty-two years old, in his prime! She is very powerful and capable. It is not a problem for the eldest sister to always be a widow.
! Look how old she has become! Why don’t you marry that lieutenant general to your eldest sister? After all, the Duke of Zhenguo has no direct descendants..."
When Princess Xingrong heard this, she stood up and slapped the table, "You fart!"
Li Cheng shook his head, "Father, these are also the words spoken by the eldest princess of the dynasty. My son looks at it, it is quite suitable for her to go to Mingguan to be the deputy guard wife!"
It is said that Princess Xingrong is crueler than Concubine Li, but she is much better in speech and behavior. After all, she has a noble status and has received so much education since she was a child. It is inappropriate to express anger so excitedly!
However, she has recently fallen in love with someone...
It was the legendary "Meijiro in Red"...who had just returned from fighting in southern Xinjiang.
She had long heard of Mijiro's reputation, and secretly went to see him after he came back. When she saw him, she was stunned. She was so excited that she almost melted into tears.
But before she could think of a way to get close, Qi Erlang went back to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
She was tortured by this incident every day and couldn't sleep well. She dreamed of being with that beautiful boy... so many times. It turned out that none of the people in the house could see her. She was constantly thinking about what to do.
Such a good thing can be accomplished!
In the end, Li Cheng felt that she was suitable to fill a house for a forty-two-year-old deputy guard... This was really insulting to her... Thinking of her sweet dream made her even more angry than slapping her!
The emperor looked at Li Cheng, and he couldn't figure out how such a silly and honest son could be so poisonous.
I’ll post a chapter first, I haven’t finished it yet.
