Li Rui not only received the will today, but was also officially approved to participate in the court meeting, not the big court meeting on the Shuowang Day, but the regular court. It is said that his father also promised him that if he was good at the Hongwen Pavilion, he would give him an official to do. On the way to the Zichen Palace, he talked to me about what he had seen and heard today--the newly elected Dai Wang Wenwen was a talented man who had ascended to the imperial system and then ascended the erudite macro vocabulary department, and had also been a scholar of the prince's school, and his person was gentle and elegant, and his words were clear and beautiful; Hanlin, there are no less than five recommended people; Dai Wang You is a child of a family, lively and interesting, beautiful, rich in appearance, and has the style of Wei and Jin; Dai Wang is a native of Chang'an, and he knows all the streets and squares in the city (Li Rui said this, his expression was quite obscene). Li Rui swore that with the assistance of these virtuous ministers, he, the acting king, would definitely become stronger and better, and he would definitely leave his name in history and be remembered for eternity.

I coldly told him that he was already the acting king, and if he wanted to become stronger and better, he could only be the prince, and if he wanted to be the prince again, he would be the emperor. Li Rui was so frightened that he covered my mouth and scolded: "Li Taiping, you are going to die!"

I didn't look at him, and went straight into the Zichen Palace. Father and mother were there, and both were wearing court clothes.

Since my mother and my father are called the two saints, I have to compare with my father everywhere, and even the style of the court dress is quite a bit masculine, with a crown, complete with crests, sitting upright, more majestic than my father, the palace is secretive about my mother's age, that is, I don't know the exact year of my mother's birth, but I know that my mother is several years older than my father, and my father usually has a bit of attachment to my mother and sister, and my mother's temper is stronger than my father's, so when the two of them go to court together, it seems that my mother is the emperor and my father is the queen of heaven.

In addition to the parents, there were seven or eight ministers. Except for Fang Zhize, Xu Jingzong and Wei Shuxuan, I almost only recognized the approximate name and surname, and when I remembered the book on Cui Mingde, I did not trot to my parents as before, and even climbed to my father's knees, but walked slowly and solemnly bowed.

My parents had very strict expressions, and when they saw me salute, they both showed a hint of a smile, and my father gently raised his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite." "When I was about to call me over as usual, my mother coughed. Father was apprehensive, whispered something, at this time Li Rui had also seen the courtesy, he treated Li Rui more strictly, so he smiled, bowed slightly, and pointed to the right head of the case, Li Rui bent over and sat over, I also sat on my mother's side, the palace people served food, it was just an ordinary dish, and it was not rare.

What is strange is the group of ministers, before we came, they seemed to have a very heated discussion, and when we entered the hall one by one, they suddenly shut up like ducks whose necks were choked, and many of them usually behaved uninhibitedly, but when they were eating today, they suddenly took up the posture of a little lady, all of them were handsome, and there was not even a trace of smacking soup.

When I saw this posture, my heart pounded violently, and I always felt that something bad was happening, but it hadn't happened yet. However, the biggest thing I know today is just Li Rui's exit from the cabinet and the election of officials, which is the most natural thing for the prince to grow up, what's so bad?

The meal was extremely difficult, but fortunately, I was too hungry, so I took a few bites, put down my chopsticks, and looked up at my mother, but I saw that my mother was also looking at me and smiling.

"Princess Changle is peaceful, and this year is twelve. The mother suddenly said this, looking at the Zhongshu Ling Fang Zhi, Fang Yi bowed his head to his mother and boasted: "The princess is quiet and virtuous, and has the style of His Majesty." ”

The father was amused by this sentence, and glanced at his mother to the side while laughing, and when he saw that his mother was not smiling, he quickly stopped and said to himself: "I have finished using it, and the secretaries don't have to be restrained, just use it for themselves." "Get up and go, he put his hands behind his back, and waved with his palm when he passed by me, I quickly got up, Li Rui saw this, and also got up neatly to say goodbye, our father and son escaped out of the hall, my father found a secluded corner, and asked us: "Did you present Erlang's book to your aunt?"

Before I could speak, Li Rui had already said, "Mother sent someone to ask for it, and I gave it." ”

The father sighed and shook his head, pointed at Li Rui and said, "Didn't I tell you, don't you tell your aunt for everything, why are you so stupid?"

Li Rui was inexplicably reprimanded, so he could only lower his head, not daring to reply immediately, but looking at his expression, he still didn't know what his father said.

I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Erlang's book? Is there something wrong? Why did Aya hide it from A-Niang?"

Father smiled bitterly: "It's not that I specially hide it from your mother, it's just that she is a person, her heart is too small, and it is rare for your brother to make a book, and when she sees it, she will be disgusted with this and that." Alas. He shook his head and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, just waved his sleeves and said, "Forget it, you two, you don't understand what you said." Go ahead and play. ”

Li Rui thought that if he could go to Hongwen Hall to study, it should be an adult treatment, but when he saw his father say this, he was aggrieved and unconvinced, so he raised his head to defend himself, and I grabbed him and dragged him to the side: "Aya naturally has Aye's considerations, and if you argue again, isn't it in vain to increase Aye's troubles?"

Li Rui looked at his father who was standing with his hands in the distance, then looked at me, and said dejectedly: "Forget it, Aya Du said that we should go play, let's go." I'll take you out of the palace. Where do you want to go?"

I had something in my heart, so I was in a hurry to leave the palace, but when it was really time to leave the palace, I remembered that I didn't know where I was going, and I was at a loss for a while, so I blurted out and asked Li Rui: "Do you know where Wei Senjun's house is?"

Li Rui was stunned: "Wei joins the army, which Wei joins the army?" suddenly reacted, and said with a smile: "Are you going to find Wei Huan?"

I nodded abruptly and said, "Shall I ask someone to inquire first?"

Li Rui laughed: "No, I know where her home is." Seeing that I was puzzled, she said proudly: "Her mother-in-law was born in the Qinghe Cui family, and the new Wang You Cui Zhisui is from the Qinghe Cui family." ”

I said, "There are so many people in the Qinghe Cui family, how can all relatives know about it?"

Li Rui sneered: "At first glance, you don't participate in the Huiju, 'Wei Yiqiu' has such a reputation in Beijing, how can her relatives not know where her home is?"

I was speechless.

Li Rui refuted me, and he became happy again, urging people to ask for the place, and at the same time giving me an idea: "Son, if you come to the door in person, the movement is too big, why don't you pretend to be a little chamberlain, just say that Princess Changle gave them a reward, and meet them again in private, wouldn't it be good?"

This idea is feasible, I glanced at Li Rui approvingly, turned my head and said to Yang Decai, the shortest chamberlain beside him: "Did you hear the words of your king? ”

Yang Decai's face was almost wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, and he reluctantly entered the side hall with me, and I waited for someone to bring his clothes and slowly put them on, and suddenly thought of an idea, as soon as he went out, he said to Li Rui: "Your generation of kings came to the door, isn't the movement as big as my door? Why don't you go with me, just send a few people to follow me." ”

Li Rui hurriedly said, "How can that be done?"

I laughed: "It's not that you don't have to follow people, why can't you? Or do you also want to pretend to be an internal official?" while saying that, he looked at the corners of his mouth maliciously - Li Rui is now in the growth period, the Adam's apple has begun to bulge, and the corners of his mouth have also grown fluff, he swore to keep the elegant beard of the prince's brother, and naturally he cares about that piece of fluff very much, and he can't wait to oil and wax this "beard" on weekdays, incense and dye, just want it to grow faster.

Li Rui involuntarily touched the corners of his mouth, and sure enough, he compromised again, and once Li Rui took me out of the palace and let me leave alone, I easily broke away from those guards within the meal, and only took two palace people, riding a big donkey, and walked south.
