"All Aiqing don't need to give in to me, they have to show some real skills today to see who killed the deer?"

In the square outside the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin said excitedly to the courtiers while kicking the juju.

"Yes." The courtiers said in unison.

Under the leadership of the emperor, they were all empowered and energetic, completely different from Fang Cai's shallow situation.

Guo Bin and Lu Yi looked at the emperor from the side, pursed their mouths in unison, and smiled very happily.

At this moment, they have already turned from the initial worry to joy, the emperor is really wiser than anyone else, but it is just a small game, but it has also instantly narrowed the psychological distance between the monarch and the minister, it is really the most superb heart control technique in the world.

And Shan Zhuokun, who was running around on the court, also had the same feeling, just now he already knew that he was just cooperating with the emperor to stage a wonderful trick of knowing people. As for the next thing, he is confident that the other party will definitely make a drastic move.

In this way, a ball game ended in everyone's different minds, and in the end, Li Shimin's team won the victory by one goal. After this toss, the courtiers also changed from cold sweat to sweat.

"All Aiqing, the ball skills are good, and they are indeed extraordinary." Li Shimin took the juju and said with a smile, "You have to practice a lot when you return home, if he has the opportunity one day, I will fight again." ”

"Yes." The ministers bowed and replied with their fists clenched.

Li Shimin came to Shan Zhuokun's face, handed him the juju, and sighed: "It's just a small ball, but it also plays such a big role, Aiqing is really well-intentioned." ”

Shan Zhuokun heard the emperor's praise, and arched his hand with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome, this is what I should do. As long as we have our own affairs, it's all easy to say. ”

"Hmm." Li Shimin stretched out his hand and patted Shan Zhuokun's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Aiqing is really my good helper, don't worry, I will definitely use you well in the future." ”

"Okay." Shan Zhuokun replied with a smile.

The ministers saw the sudden change in the style of painting, and Shan Zhuokun changed from being excluded to becoming a celebrity in front of the emperor, and they couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Good guy, this kid has such a great ability just after entering the palace, and he has won the trust of the emperor, it seems that he must be more careful when dealing with him in the future.

Li Shimin glanced around at the ministers in front of him, and then instructed Guo Bin, who was standing beside him:

"Drive the Hongyi Palace."

"Yes." Guo Bin responded and said loudly, "Drive Hongyi Palace." ”

Under the eyes of the civil and military officials, Li Shimin rode along the way he came, and the sound of 'sending off the holy car' behind him resounded.

Hongyi Palace, gray walls and green tiles, cloisters are folded, extremely simple and elegant. Although it is in the Da'an Palace, it is very different from the golden courtyard next to it, not only does it have a trace of high-profile luxury, but it is known for the freshness and elegance unique to the Jiangnan scholarly house.

This was originally the residence of Li Shimin before he ascended the throne, and later served as the residence of the queen's eldest grandson Wuji.

As the emperor's wife, the eldest grandson Wujian, who was also born in a famous family in Longxi, did not deliberately behave like a warbler and a swallow like other harems all day long, and deliberately befriended the emperor by various means, so as to achieve his goal of ascending to the throne. On the contrary, she is more enthusiastic about reading, riding and shooting, planting flowers and other things, plus she is smart and has always been graceful and generous, so whenever Li Shimin encounters something confused, he will always think of discussing with him first. Even if you don't say it, you already regard it as the most dependent person in your heart.

When Li Shimin came, the eldest grandson Wujian was sitting behind the large rosewood table in the study and playing chess alone. In her opinion, this small Go chessboard hides the treacherous warp and weft of the world, and the son of black and white is the two armies playing against each other, fighting undecided, and the turmoil is not stopping.

"Niangniang, the emperor is here." Suddenly, Ning Xiang, the maid of the palace, walked in quickly, "I'm outside the courtyard at this moment." ”

"Oh?" The eldest grandson looked up in surprise and replied.

Hasn't the emperor been worrying about official business these days, why is he so idle today, and he came without even saying hello?

However, she also knows the temperament of her husband, don't look at the fact that she has always been wise and open-minded in the court, and manages the Tang Dynasty in an orderly manner. But when it comes to himself, he has always been extremely unruly, and often does things as straightforward as children, which makes people cry and laugh.

That being the case, there is nothing surprising about today's events.

"Ning Xiang, you will accompany me to the gate of the courtyard to pick up the car." The eldest grandson commanded.

"Yes." Ning Xiang nodded in response.

The eldest grandson stood up with a smile and came to the door under the guidance of Ning Xiang. was just about to go out, but saw Li Shimin, who was dressed in a dragon robe, accompanied by Guo Bin, hurrying forward, with an anxious look on his face.

"The concubine asks the emperor for peace."

After a while, when Li Shimin came to the front, the eldest grandson Wujian bowed down slowly and said softly.

"Don't be like this, get up quickly."

Li Shimin smiled softly while stretching out his hands to help his wife up, at this moment, although the eldest grandson Wujian is full of plain cloth clothes and has a wooden hairpin on his head, but in his eyes, he has his own style, not comparable to the harem concubines next to him, but really like the white plum in the courtyard, slim, fragrant and elegant.

The eldest grandson Wujian heard that her husband did not call herself the queen, but called her name affectionately, and her heart was very warm.

"Ning Xiang, you and Guo Bin step down first, I want to talk to Niangniang alone." Li Shimin turned his head sideways and commanded Ning Xiang.

"Yes."

Ning Xiang is very clever, listening to the emperor's words at this moment, he already knows in his heart that the two masters must be going to say some sympathetic words behind their backs, so he hurriedly responded,

"Your Majesty, the slave will go and prepare plum tea and plum cakes made by our mother for you, so that the two masters can chat while eating."

"Plum tea? Plum cakes? Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly, "This is really a pure secret craft, I think at the beginning, when your mother was still the princess of Qin, you had to make something for me to eat every year." In recent days, I have been so busy with government and politics that I am about to forget about it, and it seems that I am still a little oral. By the way, Ning Xiang, I will leave tomorrow morning, and today's meal will depend on your careful arrangement. ”

When Ning Xiang heard this, she was overjoyed. Although her own mother has never been as possessive of the emperor as other concubines, the way the two get along is extremely free. However, after all, the harem is full of turmoil, and the intrigue is also obvious, but fortunately, the emperor has always been affectionate to Niangniang, which really reassures her a lot.

"Okay, please wait a while with the emperor, and the slave will go and prepare." Ning Xiang was as happy as a child, relying on her mother's support, her words couldn't help but be much bolder, "Your Majesty, don't worry, our food here can definitely be regarded as colorful, fragrant, and good, and you will not want to return." ”

The reason why she said this is because the dining rooms of each harem in Da'an Palace are separated, and the food in each courtyard is specially prepared according to the tastes of the masters, and they are all different. And because the eldest grandson Wujian and Li Shimin are both from Longxi, their eating habits are very compatible.

"Okay." Li Shimin said with a smile, "Then there is Lao Ningxiang, and it is even better if there is pasta and bamboo leaf green aging." ”

"Yes, of course." Ning Xiang said coquettishly, "I guarantee that the emperor will indulge in the gentle township of our mother after drinking, and he will never wake up again." ”

Li Shimin laughed when he heard this, this little girl's words can be described as hitting the target, although it is a joke, but it is indeed a rare truth.

And the eldest grandson beside him, Wuji, had blushed with shame, bowed his head slightly, and said softly:

"Ningxiang, don't talk nonsense."

Seeing that Niangniang was shy, Ning Xiang hurriedly stuck out her tongue, hurriedly said another blessing to the emperor, turned around and pulled Guo Bin's sleeve and ran out of the door.

"Innocent, you're playing chess." Li Shimin pointed to the chessboard on the table with his hand, "How about I accompany you to play the last game?" ”

The eldest grandson looked at the chessboard with a smile, and then said to the emperor with a smile: "Wuji, but listen to the emperor's arrangement." ”

Since the two of them got married, it has only been a few years. But she seems to have experienced a hundred years of vicissitudes. For so many years, he has been by her husband's side, and she has hidden the smoke of war and the suffering of the people in her heart. And perhaps it is precisely because of this that she has formed her current tolerant and open-minded character.

In her eyes, her husband Li Shimin has also gone through these changes in the world, from the kind and simple King Qin at the beginning to the current resolute, wise and benevolent monarch, and will definitely make great achievements in the future. He should work harder to become his strongest support, stand side by side with him, and stand proudly in the wind and rain.
