Looking at the innocent cheers of the two children, Li Shimin smiled.

Qin Mubai clearly saw the crow's feet in the corners of Li Shimin's eyes, and the kindness and sadness written on his face. After so many days of companionship, Qin Mubai has never seen Li Shimin smile like this. At this moment, he seems to be no longer the omnipotent king who reigns over the world, nor is he the Li Er who killed his brother and forced his father.

I didn't expect that a man who has been immersed in political struggles and swords and wars all year round will have such a warm side. At this moment, Li Shimin is just a father who licks calves deeply. He has so many children, maybe he can't be so serious and warm to each of them. But it can be seen from his treatment of Li Zhi and Li Mingda that Li Shimin is not a cold-blooded animal that eats tigers, nor does he not want to be a good father at all...... So what is the reason why most of his children are so clumsy and ill-fated? With Li Shimin's ability, he can govern a country and repair the whole world, but don't he have the ability to manage his own children?

Looking at the kind father in front of him, Qin Mubai was puzzled.

The two big men teased Li Zhi and Li Mingda for a while, and the nurse came to take the two little highnesses away.

Li Shimin watched his two children walk away until they disappeared from sight, still waving his hands slowly, and the smile on his face never faded.

"Your Majesty, the two Royal Highnesses King Jin and Princess Jinyang, one is benevolent and filial, the other is smart, they are all very good." Qin Mubai took the initiative to move out of the topic, breaking the silence of the scene, and somewhat embarrassing Li Shimin, who was distracted for a moment.

"Hehe, that's true." Li Shimin was in a good mood, sat down with a smile, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Mu Bai, it seems that the pheasant slave and the son have a good impression of you." Then I can rest assured that you will take care of them. ”

There is no quicker way to win a mother's affection than to praise her child. This trick seems to be quite useful to Li Shimin.

Qin Mubai smiled and arched his hand: "To be honest, Weichen is not completely sure that he can satisfy the King of Jin and the princess." Wechen can only do his best and try hard. The only thing Wechen can guarantee now is their absolute safety. ”

"Well, I'm completely relieved. With your ability to ride with a hundred horses, I'm afraid that no one in this deep palace can hurt these two children. Li Shimin looked at Qin Mubai, nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "You told a good lie just now...... But I'm also curious, what are you going to do if the pheasant slave and the son fight for your mother in the future? ”

"Wechen will tell them stories." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Wechen will tell them that Empress Eldest Sun has gone to the Heavenly Kingdom, a very beautiful and warm place. She was very nice there, and she prayed for her children all day long. If they love and miss their mothers, they should stop crying and crying and live happily every day. In short, the story will be infinitely long. ”

"Hehe, nice story. Just let them distract themselves. They are still young, and they may not feel the pain of losing their mothers so deeply. However, as I get older, the feeling of lack of maternal love will become stronger and stronger. Li Shimin said, "Therefore, I hope that you can resolve their knots as soon as possible, so that the loss of their mother at a young age will not affect their character and even their lives." ”

"Your Majesty is far-sighted and well-intentioned, and Weichen is both grateful and admired. Your Majesty rest assured, Wechen will work hard to do this. Qin Mubai surrendered his promise, and said in his heart: It seems that my father's task is quite arduous, not only to protect these two little princes, but also to be a psychiatrist or even an enlightenment teacher for them...... The future emperor Li Zhi, if someone in my Qin has been affected by his personality and outlook on life since he was a child, what will become of him in the future? What kind of deflection will history take?

It's getting more and more interesting.

Li Shimin is in a very good mood today, and he has a smile on his face all the time. At this time, the tone of conversation with Qin Mubai was not the usual conversation between monarchs and ministers, but more like an exchange between close friends or even relatives. He said: "Mu Bai, you are versatile, young and promising, and I also hope that you can teach them more things, especially pheasant slaves." He is my youngest son-in-law, and I don't want him to be a prince who eats and waits for death in the future. Your talents and martial arts can be used to teach him. What he wants to learn, you teach him. If even you don't, tell me that I will choose a teacher for you. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Mubai smiled and said: Yes, this is not only a father, but also Li Zhi's companion and teacher. My identity is so complicated.

Li Shimin frowned slightly and was silent for a moment, as if brewing in his mind, and then said: "The harem is a very complicated place. If the queen is still here, I can entrust everything to her. But now that the harem has no owner, the four concubines of Guide and virtuous are not capable of completely controlling the harem on my behalf, so I am not very worried about the pheasant slaves...... Mu Bai, do you understand what I mean? ”

"Wechen understands." Qin Mubai felt a little dazed in his heart, and secretly said: According to the meaning of Li Shimin's words, doesn't it mean that after the death of the queen immortal, there are also some undercurrents surging in the harem? The four concubines, whose status is second only to the queen, are likely to compete openly and secretly to climb to the throne of the queen? The harem is restless, and it is very likely to affect Li Zhi and Li Mingda. These two children who have not grown up, what else can they do in the turbulent harem battle except to be sacrifices?

"Hmm...... Let them, stay away from something unnecessary. Li Shimin's brows were lightly locked, as if he wanted to say something, but finally he smiled a little helplessly, "You don't have to care about these things." Just do your part with peace of mind. ”

"Wechen understands." Qin Mubai agreed. Who would dare to take care of the emperor's housework? Qin Mubai wasn't so stupid, and he wasn't that interested. Nuo has a harem, and the only thing he feels interested in is admiring those graceful beauties, and he is also very measured to restrain his impulse to hunt for beauty. Where in the world there is no fragrant grass, why cuckold the emperor? That's a long life.

"One more thing." Li Shimin cleverly diverted the topic and said, "Gao Yang has been chatting with me just now, I didn't ask you what you meant, and I didn't promise him right away." ”

Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little stunned, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, as soon as Chrysostom opens, what else can't be done in the world?" ”

"No, it's a matter that must be consulted on this matter." Li Shimin smiled and said lightly, "It's the four palace maids you detained!" They instigated Gao Yang to collide with the holy car, which was indeed a violation of the law of military law. Originally, it was handled as it should have been. I remember that the order of the Hundred Cavalry was that those who would not retreat should be discouraged from retreating by the Holy Driver, but they could be cut first and then played, right? But they grew up with Gao Yang since they were children, and I am really a little worried about them without them...... Therefore, I now come to you in the name of a father to intercede. Can it be lightened for their first offense? ”

"Your Majesty has said so, and Weichen can only agree." Qin Mubai said, "Your Majesty is responsible for protecting the law and abiding by the law, and Weichen admires it." ”

"Well, you can't just let it go." Li Shimin put the lid of the cup on the cup, knocked it a little hard, and said, "I have heard that these four palace maids are favored by Gao Yang and are flying in the harem. You take the opportunity to treat them and teach them a lesson, so that they can learn the rules from now on. As for Gaoyang, you don't have to worry, I have my own district. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Mubai smiled bitterly in his heart: You said it lightly! You asked me to repair those four palace maids, in fact, you are teaching Gao Yang a lesson in disguise...... It's your business that you want to teach your daughter a lesson, but why did you pull me in, didn't this make me make it clear that I had offended Gao Yang? With you coming forward to suppress Gao Yang, she may not seek revenge on me now. But as soon as this beam is settled, will she still finish with me in the future? I'm not afraid of thieves, I'm afraid of thieves, and the hell knows what the evil little Lori with a bad stomach will do to me in the future...... Mom, being an errand by the emperor's side, it's really easy to get into trouble!

After talking for a while, Li Shimin asked Qin Mubai not to worry about too many things about the hundred horses in the past few days, and to spend more time in Penglai Hall to take care of the two little princes. Soon after, Qin Mubai resigned and returned to the barracks.

Out of Penglai Palace, Qin Mubai walked all the way to Taiji Palace. When he arrived at the royal bridge in front of Danfeng Gate, he suddenly heard a low shout: "Stop!" ”

"Princess Gaoyang?" Qin Mubai couldn't help frowning when he saw the person coming. Princess Gaoyang took more than a dozen palace maids to the palace, blocking the road in front of the bridge like a street blocker. The little lady's skin is still dressed up in glory and luxury, and no matter how she looks at her face, she is also the best of the idol school, but at this moment, the weird smile on her face and the evil eyes in her eyes can instantly remind people of a word - little devil!

"Come here!" Princess Gaoyang proudly slanted her vermilion cherry lips, and the index finger of her right hand hooked Qin Mubai.

"Do you still want to beat me? …… The princess led people to beat up her courtiers, which is not necessarily too sensational, right? Qin Mubai didn't feel the slightest nervousness or fear, he just felt that it was ridiculous enough, which made him cry and laugh.

Taking a few steps forward, Qin Mubai stopped and arched his hand: "What's the matter with the princess?" ”

The dozen or so palace maids and eunuchs really rushed out like horses and surrounded Qin Mubai at the core. Princess Gao Yang slapped her face and grinned a little proudly: "It's very simple, I'll order you - release, people!" ”

"I'm sorry princess, but this humble duty is hard to obey." Qin Mubai replied very simply, completely ignoring the people around him, and said with a smile, "Military orders are like mountains, and captured prisoners cannot be released without being interrogated and convicted. ”

"I knew you would say that." Princess Gao Yang was not angry this time, but giggled a few times.

Qin Mu was so angry that he couldn't help but shake his head: Little girl, this smile is really demonic!

"Beat him!" Princess Gao Yang suddenly snorted coldly, "No one has ever dared to do this to me!" Give him a hard lesson! ”
