Chapter 222 The Estrangement of Father and Son

The two hundred and twenty-second round

Wu cursed the forbidden master for Qin Ying made a special trip to the Hanlin Academy, and Qin Ying carefully recorded this friendship. She left him in the dining hall for a meal, and Kwon said his final goodbye.

During the banquet, Wu Curse Forbidden Master talked about how he had achieved fame when he was young, and now he had not made a fool of himself in the palace, and he actually fell into tears.

Qin Ying was also full of emotion about this. She had already heard him talk about his career before, and when she heard it again, she had the idea of helping him no matter what. However, she hasn't figured out exactly what to do yet, so let's talk about it when she returns from Silla.

Here, as soon as Qin Ying sent away the Wu Curse Forbidden Master, Li Chengqian over there ushered in his parents.

Empress Changsun took Li Shimin's arm, and the two entered the East Palace under the guidance of the palace attendants.

Li Shimin paid attention to the steps under his feet and asked a certain Lizheng Hall chief attendant in front of him: "Has the prince woken up today?" ”

He walked to the door of the Lizheng Palace, opened the door of the palace for the emperor, turned his eyes and replied respectfully: "Your Highness woke up for a short moment, drank half a bowl of lotus seed porridge and fell asleep again. I haven't woken up yet. ”

Li Shimin sighed deeply: "Good life takes care of the prince." The palace attendant hurriedly bowed his head in response.

When Empress Changsun heard this, she couldn't help but tighten her hand holding Li Shimin, and the look on her face was a little sad.

Li Chengqian was her first child with Her Majesty, and at that time she was not the mother of a country, but only occupied the position of princess of the Qin Palace. She lives around the house every day, and her husband and children are all she has.

A few months after giving birth to her son, her body had not yet recovered, and she was diagnosed by the doctor with a happy pulse, and she had much less time to take care of her son. Therefore, Li Chengqian was basically taken by his nursing mother when he was a child, and the relationship between mother and son was relatively weak.

Li Shimin was doing things outside at the time, and when he returned home, he hugged his son, and saw that the eldest grandson was not in good health after the confinement period, so he didn't treat this son who had just passed away.

It is said that the sickness in confinement should be raised in confinement. After the eldest grandson gave birth to Li Tai, his body gradually became healthy. So between the brothers Li Chengqian and Li Tai, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson prefer Li Tai.

When Li Chengqian was just eight years old, he knew that his parents didn't seem to like him very much. Seeing his younger brother so favored, he had some indescribable feelings in his heart, but he didn't show it.

After being crowned the crown prince, he thought that his parents could see his efforts and give him more attention. However, after moving into the East Palace alone for a few months, he found that his thoughts were naΓ―ve and ignorant.

Being named the crown prince is just an excuse for his parents to exclude him from the Taiji Palace.

Since he can't get the favor and pampering of his parents, he finds himself amusement. During the day, he reads the scriptures of Mongolian studies, and at night he reads the biography of wild history. Later, he was gradually dissatisfied, and even had the courage to change into civilian clothes and climb over the high wall to leave the palace. There are two such things.

His sister Li Lizhi somehow knew that Li Chengqian had sneaked out of the palace, so she had to ask her eldest brother to take her outside the palace walls to see.

During the Qingming Festival, the royal family went to worship their ancestors. Li Shimin didn't take his children with him when they were young. Li Chengqian took the opportunity to leave the palace with his sister to avoid the satellite TV line.

Li Lizhi they walked around the East and West City, and heard that the peach blossoms of the Xuandu Temple were a great attraction at this time, so they went there to visit the Tao and enjoy the flowers.

Hexagram sign cloud: "The bamboo basket is empty, and life and death are not up to anyone." The Taoist in the hall was vague, and he didn't ask much. And my sister stuffed the hexagram into her sleeve and took it out of the hall.

Because of this hexagram, he met Qin Ying for the first time who was placing an order in Xuanduguan.

She was dressed in a gray robe, gave a salute with an indifferent expression, and explained to them the meaning of the hexagram. is still a child's age, but she bundles her bun like an adult, and the ebony hairpin is simple and unpretentious, which unexpectedly matches her temperament.

Li Chengqian didn't know that he would be entangled with her for the rest of his life. If he can see the future, he will definitely have to say a few more words to her, just to make a good impression.

When they left the Taoist temple, they hurried to the side street. If they stay out for too long, it will be terrible if they are discovered.

On the second day of Qingming, Li Chengqian had a chill. He never left the East Palace for this illness. When I think about the past occasionally, I just feel like a cloud of smoke and dreams. The only thing that made him happy was that the people he had met outside the palace in the past were now seen again in the palace.

……

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun sat silently in front of the couch, watching the palace attendant take a freshly wrung out hand towel and wipe his face for Li Chengqian, who was sleeping on the couch.

The emperor and queen glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. They sat silently for a moment and were about to leave, when they heard the eldest son on the couch mutter in a low voice, and his eyelashes trembled like a butterfly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Woke up. Empress Changsun couldn't restrain the joy in her heart at first, and took the lead in holding Li Chengqian's hand on the edge of the couch.

After Li Chengqian opened his eyes with difficulty, he saw A-Niang's face reflected in his eyes. His eyes still couldn't see the distance clearly, and at this time, Empress Changsun's beautiful makeup was all blurred. Trying to call out to Ah Niang, she held his hand harder.

Li Shimin was not so happy when he woke up, but his kneeling body leaned forward slightly, and asked, "Are there better?" ”

Seeing this, several palace attendants left the lamp, and exited the Lizheng Hall one after another, not disturbing the three of them to speak.

Li Chengqian nodded and called out to Aye.

This emotional tone couldn't help but make Empress Eldest Sun's eyes red. I remember that the three of them seemed to have been together like this in a long time outside of dinner. The father and son never seem to get along. Empress Changsun couldn't figure out what specific contradictions they had, and she wanted to meddle in the changes but couldn't do anything. Now the gap between father and son seems to have disappeared.

Li Shimin asked about the body of the eldest son in detail, and the eldest grandson Empress held Li Chengqian's hand, and the red around her eyes did not fade.

The topic went around and around, and I don't know who started to mention Qin Ying. When Li Chengqian learned that she was going to Silla after all, his qi and blood were churning, he coughed for a long time while holding his chest, and finally lowered his eyebrows and said, "Why can't Aya allow Qin Ying to stay in the palace?" Just because I like this foreign Taoist? ”

Li Shimin secretly hated himself for unconsciously revealing Qin Ying's whereabouts, and when he saw Li Chengqian coughing up blood for people outside the country, he was so angry that he said angrily: "--Why did you give birth to such a son like you in the first place!" "It's just that the eldest son in front of him has broken his sleeves, but he still has to admit it so confidently in front of himself, how presumptuous he is!

"Aya doesn't wish I died soon." Li Chengqian did not contradict Aya is kind of fault consciousness, stubbornly tilted his head and said softly, a smile on the corner of his mouth was full of sadness.

Li Shimin was extremely angry, and raised his hand to throw five deep finger prints on his face.

"ι™›xiΓ ! Please spare him who is still young and does not understand the relationship between men and women......" Empress Changsun didn't stop his slap in time, and hugged Li Chengqian with her arms and cried bitterly. (To be continued.) )
