The crown prince Li Zhi is fifteen years old, slender, graceful, wearing a long-distance travel crown official uniform, standing under the throne to watch the government, radiant, the jade tree is in the wind, attracting the eager eyes of the ministers, and the courtiers are glad that there is a successor to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi has lived by Aye's side since he was a child, and now that he has become the crown prince, Aya is still reluctant to let him leave, so he lives in the dormitory and teaches and guides him every day.

The concubines around Li Shimin came and went, taking turns to wait for the banquet, pen and ink, singing and dancing, and Li Zhi was often on the side. Being in the flowers, the smeller was drunk, but he kept in mind the martial arts man's advice "self-denial, control of lust, and prudence", and never dared to look at each other and chat with the concubines, at most squint and answer a few words.

One day, after Li Shimin retired from the court, he went to Yanjia Hall with Li Zhi, and Xu Hui had already dispatched Shangshi Fengyu and Taile Ling to arrange wine, food, music and dance, and welcome the holy driver. Li Shimin sat on it, and Xu Hui and Li Zhi knelt on the onion mats on both sides.

Li Shimin picked up the jade cup and drank, and the musicians began to play the music of "Xiuhe", the bells and drums rang in unison, and the piano blended. At this time, there were four dancers, wearing purple robes, wearing copper belts, and wearing German crowns, and came in to dance. Li Shimin and Li Zhi watched carefully, while Xu Hui bowed his head to eat.

After the dancer danced, Xu Hui got up and said, "Concubine Xinxue is a song, and I am willing to dedicate it to Your Majesty and Your Highness!" Li Shimin said happily: "Okay! Didn't Hui Niang specialize in poetry, when did she learn singing and dancing? Li Zhi got up and bowed his head and said, "Xu Chongrong, please!" ”

Only listen to the sound of the jade chime, the generous sound, the festival drum in unison, Xu Hui combed the gold silk beads and cloud bun, wore a vermilion large-sleeved round-neck cardigan and a long skirt, a scarlet short-sleeved jacket, and a green Luo shawl on his shoulders, leading the two maids to walk in steps, stretching their sleeves with the beat of the music, undulating like the wind blowing willows.

The incense burner burns incense, and the smoke is filled, permeating the graceful dance, just like the heavenly palace. Li Shimin held the dragon beard in his hand and said with a smile: "It turns out that Hui Niang is dancing Zhao Feiyan's "Return to the Wind and Send Far Song"! ”

Looking sideways, I saw that Li Zhi had been sitting respectfully, looking at the skirt dance with low eyebrows, and secretly thought: This child is as docile as a sheep, without any tiger and wolf spirit, how can this be good? Maybe it's because of the majesty of Yaye? Yayerd observe, see what happens when he is alone?

After Xu Hui finished dancing, everyone applauded in unison, and Li Shimin asked Li Zhi: "Can the pheasant slave remember a poem by Li Yannian?" Li Zhi replied: "There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent, one cares about the city, and then the country, rather than knowing the city and the country, the beauty is hard to get!" ”

Li Shimin smiled again and said to Xu Hui: "Hui Niang, how about writing a poem with this as the title?" He also ordered Li Zhi to be promoted to sort out the backlog of recitals, sort them according to their priority and official rank, so as to speed up the review, and then retired the musicians and attendants, and left in a hurry under the pretext that there was something to do.

Xu Hui was grinding ink while thinking, looking around, seeing that the main hall was empty, and the prince was lowering his head to sort out the scrolls, he couldn't help but say loudly: "Your Highness, do you want the concubine to help?" ”

Li Zhi replied: "No, I still have to write poems." Xu Hui asked: "If it is written by His Royal Highness, how should it be made?" ”

Li Zhi glanced sideways at Xu Hui and said, "Li Yannian focuses on peerlessness, and he can focus on independence, so write about himself!" Xu Hui's eyes flashed, and she said happily: "There is!" Then he picked up the pen and wrote the poem "Endowed with a Beautiful Woman in the North" on a hundred flower paper:

It is called independent, and it is called a city.

The willow leaves are haired between the eyebrows, and the peach blossom face is born.

The wrist shook the golden ring, and the jade ring sounded.

Slim waist Yibao socks, red shirts are gorgeously woven.

Suspense is heavy, don't feel that the waist is light.

After writing it, he handed it to the prince. Li Zhi looked down and secretly praised him, feeling that Xu Hui was the only person in the harem who could be comparable to martial arts in terms of comprehensive quality, no wonder Aya liked her so much!

Thinking of this, Li Zhi said: "Good poem, good self-portrait, Your Majesty will definitely praise it!" Still not looking up, he continued to sort out the scrolls.

Li Shimin had already observed everything in the hall through the crack in the window outside the hall, and he was relieved to see that the pheasant slave always abided by the etiquette and did not exceed the rules.

Another day, Li Shimin was in the dormitory to review and copy, there was a lot of backlog, Xiao Meiren, who was good at playing the pipa, came to the bed, and it was inevitable that there would be a lot of singing and dancing. Li Shimin was also a little tired, so he ordered Chen Zhongjian to move all the copies to the other courtyard to be approved by the prince, and he would check it when he arrived.

After the singing and dancing, it was late at night, Xiao Meiren sat on the stool with the pipa in her arms, playing a beautiful melody, and Li Shimin lay on the bed while listening and recuperating.

At the end of the song, Xiao Meiren then played another song, Li Shimin suddenly got up, walked out of the hall, quietly came to the courtyard, and saw through the screen window that the pheasant slave was still sitting in front of the desk to read the copy, and when he had any questions, he got up and flipped through the scriptures to find allusions. Li Shimin nodded and smiled, turned around and returned to the dormitory.

Another day, Li Shimin dined in the Shenlong Palace, and the prince and Yang Jieyu served on the side. Yang Jieyu is good at Hu Xuan dance, and after the dancer finishes the feast, she changes into Hu costume and prepares to perform.

As soon as he performed for a while, Zheng Shaojian came to the emperor's side and muttered, and the emperor drove away.

Li Zhi watched curiously for a while, and as long as Yang Jieyu's gaze swept towards him, he quickly lowered his eyebrows and looked sideways, avoiding the past. But I saw Yang Jieyu wearing a hat with a muddy hat, wearing a pale red placket and half an arm, a Biluo shawl on her shoulders, a green ribbon around her waist, a crimson wide skirt, leather boots on her feet, twisting her waist and swinging her hips, spinning and flying, and the ribbons fluttering.

After dancing the song, Li Zhi got up and applauded, Yang Jieyu panted slightly, squatted slightly, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!" Please dance with your concubine to help Yaxing! ”

Li Zhizuo said: "Yang Jieyu has worked hard, please go back to your seat and rest, the widow is not good at dancing, please forgive me." So the hall was cold, and the atmosphere was awkward.

Li Zhi walked to the musician and whispered a few words, the drum music sounded again, Li Zhi walked to the middle of the hall, put his palms above his head, and then shook it from side to side. Yang Jieyu and the dancers and dancers knew that it was "Lanling King's Entrance Song" as soon as they heard the song, and they were all curious to see him dancing alone, although the movements were a little stiff, but he could also dance down completely.

Li Shimin had already secretly observed outside the hall, and when he saw the pheasant slave dancing alone, he couldn't help but sneak in quietly and stand at the opposite corner to cooperate with the dance.

Yang Jieyu and everyone saw the emperor dancing, and they didn't dare to rest, so they all got up and danced together. Li Zhi was intoxicated with the music and dance, and only stopped after dancing another song, and when he saw that Aya was also there, he said embarrassedly: "Yes, my son is ugly!" Li Shimin smiled and said: "You dance well, who did you learn from?" ”

Li Zhi replied: "I watched the dancer skip a few times, silently wrote it down, and went back to practice diligently, mainly to relax the muscles and invigorate the blood and smooth the qi pulse." In addition to dancing, I also learned five bird plays from Yakuzoro! ”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "You sit and study for a long time, and you don't like to watch and shoot, and you are worried about your body bones!" Yesh was relieved to be able to do so. ”

After several investigations, Li Shimin became more and more in love with pheasant slaves, and once proudly told Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu, the head of the third division of the prince, about the investigation, saying that the prince grew up under his knees since he was a child, was modest and courteous, and there was no problem in serving the palace, etc., and said that the third division was itching, and he couldn't wait to snatch the prince over as soon as possible to teach him well, and to live the addiction of being a teacher.

Liu Xun, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, and Chu Suiliang, the counselor, successively said that His Majesty would suppress his personal love and let the prince return to the East Palace to study diligently, and to be a teacher and friend.

When Li Shimin heard this, he was overjoyed, and secretly thought: Pheasant slaves have become a hot and sought-after item, oh also! I owe you everything! After arguing and fighting, they finally agreed to send the prince back to the East Palace on the first day of the tenth, and preach morality with the masters.

Ten days later, Li Zhi returned to the East Palace under the right guard led by Li Daliang, and was warmly welcomed by the masters as soon as he entered the door.

Chu Suiliang, the prince's guest, squeezed in, hugged Li Zhi, and said in tears: "I haven't seen the prince for a long time, but I want to die to the old minister, go, read "Shangshu" with the old minister!" ”

Ma Zhou, the prince's left concubine, quit, pulled Chu Suiliang to protect Li Zhi and said: "The prince has been away from the East Palace for a long time, and he finally came back, the minister has already cooked Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots, and invited the prince to the study to taste fragrant tea and discuss the "Book of Rites"? ”

Gao Jifu, the prince's right concubine, held Li Zhi's left hand tightly and said: "The old minister invites His Royal Highness the prince to the lecture pavilion to talk about it, all the teachers and ministers don't fight, how about sitting down and talking about the Tao together?" ”

Shaozhan Shi Zhang Xingcheng tightly held Li Zhi's right hand and said: "The minister has prepared a current policy about Goguryeo today, which is very important, and it will definitely be used in the future, please Your Highness must listen to the minister's lecture!" ”

Li Zhi was at a loss in the middle, and said to the masters with a smile: "Thank you for your hospitality, preaching and teaching to solve doubts, learning is endless, there is a road in the mountains of books, and the students are terrified, and they are willing to study diligently, listen carefully, and climb hard!" ”

Just talking and laughing, the attendant came to report that the third division of the East Palace had arrived, Li Zhi hurriedly greeted him outside the door, bowed respectfully, and the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu bowed.

Li Zhi invited the three divisions to enter the door, and everyone followed the three divisions into the Chongjiao Palace, the three divisions sat on the east prayer seat first, and Li Zhi waited for the three divisions to sit down before sitting on the north scripture seat.

Fang Xuanling asked, "What classics has Your Highness learned?" ”

Li Zhi replied: "The students are frightened, they have studied the "Book of Rites", "Poems", "Zhou Li", "Shangshu", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and "Island Arithmetic" for one year each, and the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Analects" have been passed! ”

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "Very good, all masters can arrange the learning progress according to this, step by step!" ”

After the talk, Li Zhi set up a banquet to entertain the masters, and invited the musicians to play the guzheng song "Mountains and Flowing Water" during the banquet. After the banquet, Zhang Xingcheng, Ma Zhou, and Chu Suiliang were invited to give a lecture each.

In a flash, it has been one year since Li Zhi became the prince, Li Shimin sat in the Liangyi Hall and said to the ministers: "Have you heard of the prince's character and behavior outside?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Although the prince does not go out of the palace, everyone in the world admires sainthood!" ”

Li Shimin said: "At his age, I can't control the constant. The prince has been generous since he was a child, and the proverb says: Giving birth to a son is like a wolf, and fear is like a sheep. When he grows up a little more, it will naturally be different. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty is a martial artist, a talent to stir up chaos, the prince is benevolent, and he is the virtue of keeping the text; Although the fun is different, each has its own part, this is the emperor's intention to bless the Tang Dynasty! Li Shimin nodded and was secretly happy.

The prince's position gradually stabilized, but the voice that Li Zhi wanted to hear most was never heard, and he couldn't help but have doubts,

According to the harem moon shortage sleeping system, Xu Chongrong, Yang Jieyu, Xiao Meiren, Cui Cairen, Xiao Cairen, etc. can take turns to wait for the emperor's banquet, but Wucai can only help at Wei Guifei and Yan Defei.

One day at leisure, Li Zhi entrusted Chunlan and Qiu Ju to bring a message to Ah Hong and Ah Zi, raising the old question that had been backlogged in his heart for a long time: Why did Aye never recruit talented people?

Wucai people sent a message to inform the cause and effect, saying: "The concubine took the initiative to throw herself into her arms but was never liked by His Majesty, the will of heaven is like this, and the manpower is irretrievable!" The concubine doesn't want to be noticed by too many people in the harem, she just wants to be a beautiful lady quietly. Also, give a thumbs up to the prince for his outstanding performance, and please keep the prince up! ”

After Li Zhi heard this, he sighed for his first love on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already happy, and his first love was still a virgin who was ice clear and jade!

Li Zhi thinks that she is a mentor and friend given to him by God, and since then his love for martial artists has deepened.
