Chapter 692 The reaction of the princes and princesses
Li Lizhi knows how to be filial. She doesn't want her parents to worry about her, but she also wants her parents to be happy for her.
Su Mingzhe has traveled through so many worlds and had so many children, but there are very few people like Li Lizhi.
"Changle, we still need to be so polite between father and daughter."
Su Mingzhe asked Zhang Anan to bring a soft stool for his daughter to sit on, and then he began to ask how Li Lizhi and his grandson Sun Yan were doing recently.
There is no better way for children to be filial to their parents than to entertain them with colorful clothes.
Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans.
Li Lizhi married Changsun Chong, the son of her uncle Changsun Wuji.
Marriage between cousins is also a feature of this era.
Su Mingzhe cannot hold high the banner and break up their young couple.
Besides, this young couple has been harmonious and sweet since they got married, and they have never had a fight or blushed.
Su Mingzhe didn't want to hurt his children just because of his own thoughts.
Although Li Lizhi was a princess, after marrying into the eldest grandson's family, she behaved like an ordinary daughter-in-law and went to visit her uncle every day.
The harmonious appearance of Changsun's family made other dignitaries jealous.
Even so, Su Mingzhe was still worried about Li Lizhi, and took the initiative to tell the girl about Peiyuan Dan without waiting for her to ask:
"Refining the Peiyuan Pill requires several special medicinal materials. Although they are gone now, I am sending people to collect them. I believe I will prepare one again soon. Then I will give one to each of your uncle and aunt.
"
"My son, I would like to thank my father on behalf of my uncle."
Li Lizhi did not expect that her father would see through her intention to seek medicine, and she immediately felt ashamed.
All I can say is that as a parent, how can you be willing to embarrass your daughter?
Later, Su Mingzhe smiled and asked her to go to the harem to see Li Mingda and Li Yanran, and then go to the East Palace to see Li Chengqian's eldest son Li Jue.
When Li Lizhi brought Li Mingda and Li Yanran to the East Palace, they saw Su Tan'er struggling to bathe and dress the little guy. The four maids next to him were also busy wiping the little guy with towels.
"Li Zhi (兕子, Yanran) has met my sister-in-law."
The three girls saluted Su Tan'er together. Su Tan'er was so panicked that she quickly put down her son and returned the salute to the three sisters-in-law:
"The three sisters are here, please help me hold Juer down."
The little guy Li Jue doesn't like to be held by people other than his relatives, even serving Su Tan'er, Li Chengqian's maids and nuns.
In order to take care of Li Jue, Su Tan'er also found her mother and sister.
And today is July 15th, the Hungry Ghost Festival.
Su Tan'er's mother and sister went home to worship their ancestors, leaving Su Tan'er to take care of Li Jue alone, which was a bit overwhelming.
Li Jue was born four months ago. Although he can't speak yet, the little guy's eyes are bright. When he is held in someone's arms, he pouts and pouts with great strength.
Li Lizhi helped him pick him up, and Su Tan'er quickly took her son's small clothes from the hands of the palace maid and put them on for him.
After several people helped the little guy apply talcum powder, Li Mingda volunteered and said:
"Sister-in-law, I'm very strong today, can you let me hug Juer?"
When Su Tan'er saw Li Mingda's eager eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse, but she was more worried that her sister-in-law would hurt her son, so in the end she could only apologize and refuse:
"Sizi, Jue'er is very strong today. I can't hold him anymore. How about you hold him again after a while."
"oh."
Li Mingda was a little sad. She felt that she was very strong today and thought that she would be able to pick up her little nephew.
It's a pity that my sister-in-law doesn't trust me.
Of course, although he was a little sad after being rejected, Li Mingda was well-behaved and still teased his little nephew with a smile.
At noon, Su Tan'er left the three princesses to have dinner in the East Palace.
While several people were eating, Li Chengqian rushed back from outside in a hurry.
The three princesses Li Lizhi hurriedly paid tribute to their eldest brother.
"Li Zhi is here, have you visited your father?"
When Li Chengqian saw his three sisters, he felt quite friendly.
In his opinion, as long as the fourth child, Li Tai, does not compete with him for the throne, the other brothers and sisters are very cute.
"Go back to Brother Prince, I've already seen it."
Li Lizhi looked at the prince who had started to grow a beard, and was surprised to find that after not seeing each other for several months, his eldest brother was becoming more and more majestic, and he vaguely resembled his former father.
Su Tan'er asked the palace maid to serve Li Chengqian a bowl again, and then asked curiously:
"Your Highness, why did you come back at noon today?"
Since being appointed as Jing Zhaoyin in April, Li Chengqian almost always leaves early and returns late, rarely coming back at noon.
Li Chengqian's eyes drifted over the three sisters, and then he smiled awkwardly:
"There's nothing going on in the Yamen today, I just miss you and Jue'er."
If the three sisters were not here, Li Chengqian would immediately let Su Tan'er know why he came back.
After everyone had lunch, Li Lizhi took her two sisters and left.
the other side.
The few princes who were outside the vassal got the elixir a little late, and their mood when they saw Empress Peiyuan was a little different from that of many princes and princesses in Chang'an City.
The prince who remained in Chang'an City was young, and the princesses did not care about the important affairs of the court, so they just ate the food that their own father had given them without thinking too much about it.
The princes who were vassal outside had different thoughts after looking at the Peiyuan Pills sent by several eunuchs.
For example, King Li Tai of Wei and King Li Ke of Wu were both very worried. After taking the elixir, they prepared to write a memorial to remonstrate and asked their chamberlain to take it back with them.
This is the expression of filial piety to one's son.
Some people with ulterior motives saw the elixir delivered by the chamberlain and said that it must be taken in person. They were so frightened that they turned pale and squatted on the ground.
This was the case with Li Min, the king of Shu.
When Duan Hong, the eunuch in charge of the Yeting Palace, came to Li Min expressionlessly and took out a bottle of elixir, saying that he wanted Li Min and Li Min's three children to take it in person, Li Min was frightened on the spot.
Pale, face as pale as earth, whole body shaking like chaff, nose and tears flowing freely:
"Eunuch Duan, I...I don't want to die..."
Duanhong didn't expect that Li Min, the usually lawless king of Shu, would be so cowardly. While feeling contempt in his heart, he had to kneel down to help Li Min up and explain to him:
"Your Majesty, this is a tonic, not poison. All princes and princesses have a share."
"Eunuch Duan, you can't lie to me!"
When Li Min heard that all the princes and princesses had a share, his first thought was still not believing it.
After all, if there is no disaster or disease, why should I take random medicine?
At this time, he thought that Su Mingzhe knew about the bad things he said behind his back and wanted to give him a red crown and send him back to his hometown.
However, although he didn't believe it, when he saw that Duan Hong, the eunuch in charge of the Yeting Palace, had been sent out, he also knew that if he extended his head and retracted his head, it would be the same as the sword, and he could not hide.
Therefore, under the inner fear, Li Min could only send someone to take out all three of his children, and in front of Duan Hong, with a miserable face, he took the pills one by one.
After taking the elixir, Li Xin did not bother to receive Duan Hong, so he asked his princess to serve him, put on his beloved four-clawed dragon robe, and lay down on the bed in the palace to sleep all night.
When he woke up the next day, he found that not only was he fine, but he was in high spirits. Even the hidden wounds he had suffered while hunting in the past no longer hurt.
Only then did he realize that the elixir sent by the emperor's chamberlain was actually a nourishing holy medicine.
"With such a holy medicine, no wonder my father sent Duan Hong to personally escort it."
Li Min was worried about his life, and his greed resurfaced in his heart.
Regardless of the princess's obstruction, Li Xin sent someone to find Duan Hong who was having breakfast, and said with a playful smile:
"Eunuch Duan, how many Peiyuan Pills do my father still have? I feel like I took one, and the old diseases in my body have healed a lot, but I still feel a little bit uncomfortable. Can you help me find it?
Father, please give me a few more pills, firstly, to allow my body to fully recover, and secondly, to prepare for emergencies."
"My lord, there is no need to think too much."
Duan Hong's triangular eyes exuded a cold aura, and the disdain and contempt in his eyes were not concealed at all:
"Refining this Pei Yuan Pill requires extremely precious medicinal materials. It took your Majesty a long time to collect such a batch. All the refined Pei Yuan Pills have been given to all the princes and princesses, and His Majesty did not leave any in his hands.
A spare one."
"Eunuch Duan, you can't lie to me."
Li Min didn't believe it. In his opinion, his father was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't it easy to collect some medicinal materials?
Seeing Li Min like this, Duan Hong was afraid that Li Min wouldn't believe his words, so he had to tell the story exactly as it was:
"Your Majesty made a total of seven elixirs this time and obtained fifty-six pills. There are fifty-two of His Majesty's descendants. Each of them has one pill. There are four pills left. Your Majesty did not take any pills himself. He gave them to Concubine Yang and Concubine Yan respectively.
Concubine, Concubine Wei, Concubine Yin. Your Majesty, your family can get four of them, which is already the greatest favor from His Majesty."
"Yeah?"
When Li Min heard Duan Hong explain the matter clearly, he smiled this time.
Of the fifty-six pills, my family will get four, and my brother King Wu should also get four, plus his mother and concubine will get one.
My own mother-in-law's lineage received as many as nine.
Based on such a calculation, I am afraid that only the lineage of Empress Changsun can be compared with the lineage of her mother and concubine.
In the lineage of Queen Changsun, there are Prince Li Chengqian (one son Li Jue), King Wei Li Tai (four children), King Jin Li Zhi, Princess Changle (son eldest Sun Yan), Princess Chengyang, Princess Jinyang, Princess Xincheng, and she should be able to get ten
Three Peiyuan Pills.
After understanding these truths, Li Min no longer wanted any more pills.
You don’t have to take the elixir if you don’t want it. Li Min smiled and asked about the elixir recipe.
As long as he has the prescription and Li Min believes in himself, he can find someone to refine the Peiyuan Pill.
"Your Majesty, this elixir is in your Majesty's hands, and I don't know about it."
Duan Hong didn't want to talk to Li Min anymore.
If I could give birth to a son, and then give birth to such a thing, I would most likely bring him back into his mother's womb.
"If you don't tell me, I'll ask my father myself!"
Li Min didn't take it seriously when he saw Duan Hong ignoring him.
Even though Li Min already has three children, he is actually only fourteen years old this year. He has a youthful temper and is willful.
Seeing that Duan Hong ignored him, he didn't take it seriously and found a palace maid to grind it for him. He immediately wrote a letter of gratitude and asked the emperor for a prescription for Pei Yuan Dan.
As for whether the emperor would give it or not, Li Min never considered it at all.
