Chapter 145 Thank you, Changsun Shidu, you are such a good person (please subscribe and vote for updates)
The eldest son, Jiaqing, looked at Cheng Chubi unhappily. He originally thought that Cheng Chubi was a smart man because of his good looks.
Why can't I hear the test of my words? What I mean is that you kid, don't drink, do you understand?!
Seeing the eldest son Jiaqing, who was so confused and silent for a long time, Cheng Chubi showed an honest smile towards Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness, I am a rough man. I'm afraid one bowl won't be enough. Since the eldest grandson Shidu won't drink, why don't you give me a piece of the bowl?"
Li Chengqian glanced at Changsun Jiaqing and hesitated. "Changsun Qing, why don't you have a drink too?"
Changsun Jiaqing looked at the white fungus and lotus seed soup in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and shook his head slowly, even somewhat sadly.
I am a scholar, and what I value is a promise worth a thousand dollars. You can't just say it one moment and break your promise the next moment, right?
"Then you're welcome. Thank you, Your Highness." Cheng Chubi grabbed the bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup in front of his eldest son, Sun Jiaqing, and drained it in one gulp.
Then he put the empty bowl back on Changsun Jiaqing's desk, not forgetting to smile politely at Changsun Jiaqing.
"Thank you, Changsun Shidu. You are such a good person."
"*..." Changsun Jiaqing's face turned green. Looking at the empty bowl in front of him, his mentality exploded.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat Cheng Laosan, a tough guy from Wuhan University, Sun Jiaqing would have wanted to pounce on him with his bastard fists.
Let this bastard know what it means when a gentleman is angry, blood will be splattered for several steps.
After Cheng Chubi finished Changsun Jiaqing's bowl in one gulp, he slowly began to drink the soup in front of him.
He commented loudly, "Your Highness, this soup tastes really good. It's cold and sweet. It's really a good way to quench your thirst and relieve the heat."
Seeing that Changsun Jiaqing's face was extremely dark, he stared at Cheng Chubi with a fierce look.
Cheng Chubi, on the other hand, was unaware and continued to taste the Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup in front of him. Li Chengqian finally suppressed his laughter.
After all, Changsun Jiaqing is also his companion who has been with him for many years. Although he is a bit rigid, he is not a bad person.
As for Brother Chu Bi's character, well, that's what it is, so he shouldn't be criticized harshly.
Li Chengqian cleared his throat and said to Cheng Chubi. "General Cheng, this is your first time on duty today. How do you feel about it?"
"Your Majesty, I asked you, and I think everything is quite good. The brothers in the East Palace are very enthusiastic towards me.
There are also gentle and educated people like Changsun Shidu, who are also role models for our generation to learn from."

And Cheng Chubi also knew very well how miserable the final fate of Li Shimin's eldest son was in the original historical trajectory.
Originally he wanted to keep a low profile and develop, but was thrown into the Donggong system. This made Cheng Chubi very unhappy, but he could only bite the bullet.
My biological father Cheng Yaojin told Cheng Laosan that our old Cheng family does not cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it either.
With such a kind old father as his backing, Cheng Chubi knew very well that as long as he didn't get involved too deeply, it shouldn't be difficult to get out.
But in front of me, the Empress Changsun and the nephew of Changsun Wuji were just new arrivals, but this guy just didn't like me.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, this eldest grandson Jiaqing seems to have left no name in history.
How could someone like this unknown person be afraid of you? Cheng Chubi, who was not very knowledgeable in history, thought this with confidence.
"Two gentlemen, my father told me yesterday that he plans to invite the emperor to go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat. In addition, my mother will also go there..."
The eldest son, Jiaqing, couldn't help but look happy and asked impatiently, "Now that Your Majesty has gone, His Highness will definitely be in charge of the country."
"Yes, I will stay in Chang'an and supervise state affairs temporarily." Li Chengqian nodded and replied.
The eldest son, Jiaqing, took a picture of the table, rubbed his hands impatiently, and walked excitedly in the hall.
"That's great...Last year, Your Majesty and Your Majesty were worried about the Emperor's condition and did not leave Chang'an, which caused Your Highness to miss a good opportunity to supervise the country."
"Now that they are all going to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat, it just gives your Highness the opportunity to show off your talents."
Cheng Chubi stared dumbfoundedly at the eldest son Jiaqing, whose face turned red with excitement and who was walking frantically in the hall.
"This matter..." After walking for a long time, eldest son Jiaqing came up to Li Chengqian and glanced at Cheng Chubi first.
I felt more and more that this guy was in the way and was disturbing my secret discussion with His Royal Highness.
"Your Highness, I'd better retire first, so as not to disturb the mood of the eldest grandson Shidu."
Cheng Chubi laughed and saluted Li Chengqian. After seeing Li Chengqian's slightly apologetic approval, he patted his butt and left the room.
Standing outside the hall, feeling the heat of midsummer, Cheng Chubi glanced around.
Several elite Zuo Nei led soldiers who were guarding outside the palace quickly stood up straight for fear of upsetting their immediate superior.
"I've seen the deputy leader."
"Okay, no need to be polite, you guys just do whatever you have to do, I'll just walk around..." Cheng Chubi nodded slightly.
"Is there anyone among you who is familiar with the East Palace?"
Hearing this question, a guard stood up and saluted Cheng Chubi and answered.
"Then how about the general leading the way? The general has stayed in the East Palace for many years and is very familiar with this place."

The Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty used the Daxing City built under the supervision of Yu Wenkai during the Sui Dynasty. Since the Sui Dynasty, the crown prince has been living in the East Palace.
The area of the East Palace is slightly smaller than the palace where the emperor lived, but the area is also very large.
The functions of the palaces at various locations are all based on the imperial palace.
It's just that the scale is slightly smaller. For example, the prince's daily life is in the Cheng'en Hall at the back, and his daily work is in the Lizheng Hall.
Various banquets are held in the Chongjiao Hall, and meetings with ministers and major political events are held in the Xiande Hall.
In addition, the buildings in the East Palace and the carved beams and paintings along the way are very exquisite, even luxurious.
After asking the subordinates around me, I learned that these were built by the Sui Dynasty and were very luxurious. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were no changes.
Cheng Chubi did not dare to wander around for too long. He only visited the first half of the East Palace and then hurried back to Li Zheng Hall where the prince was.
Then he saw Li Chengqian standing outside the palace gate, looking around, with only a few serving eunuchs around him.
The eldest son Jiaqing, who had been guarding Li Chengqian like a loyal guard dog before, was nowhere to be seen.
When Li Chengqian saw Cheng Chubi, he showed joy and walked quickly towards this side.
"I'm still thinking that General Cheng is new to the East Palace, so I'm afraid he's not familiar with the East Palace, so I want to be a guide myself. I wonder if General Cheng would be willing to give me a favor?"
Cheng Chubi, who had just wandered around for a while before returning to the front of Li Zheng Hall, looked at the expectant Crown Prince.
"I was thinking about walking around just now, but I didn't expect His Highness to treat me like this. I am so grateful that I shed tears..."
"Haha, then just follow Gu and don't disturb Gu and Cheng Qing."
Li Chengqian laughed and said to the eunuchs of the East Palace who were trying to surround him.
