In the Taiji Palace, His Majesty Li Er sat on the soft couch in the side hall, holding a bowl of ginseng soup in his hand, while Li Tai rushed back from the Zhuangzi and didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he came to the Taiji Palace. At this time, Li Tai was wearing a dark green round-necked robe, with a little dust on it, and his hair was wrapped in a scarf, looking like a child of a craftsman in Zhuangzi.

"The sons have seen their father, but I don't know why the emperor sent someone to summon the sons." Li Tai respectfully saluted Li Er.

"Green Sparrow, come, sit down here." His Majesty Li Er beckoned to Li Tai and motioned for him to sit on the couch next to him, seeing his son like this, His Majesty Li Er was both relieved and distressed.

Qingque patted the dust off her body and sat down on the other side of the soft couch.

"Qingque, I have already read the paper you sent over, it is very good, how about it, how do you feel about going out to do these hard and tiring tasks by yourself for the first time." His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Tai with a smile.

Li Tai remembered the past few days, although he said that he didn't eat well, he didn't sleep very well, and his mind was full of paper-making things, but he did feel very happy about the success of this dynasty, and he was very satisfied in his heart, and he enjoyed this feeling very much, which he couldn't feel in the Wude Hall no matter how many books he read.

Li Tai smiled: "Father, although the child has had a hard time these days, the child is very happy and satisfied, and as soon as the new paper comes out, it can be regarded as a modest contribution to the Tang Dynasty and the father, which is much better than spending time in the Wude Hall all day." ”

Hearing Li Tai say this, His Majesty Li Er showed a relieved expression on his face: "Okay, my green sparrow has grown up, I heard that Jing'er's Zhuangzi is going to dig a river, what's the matter, do you still want to go over to help?" ”

Li Tai nodded: "Yes." ”

Li Er lowered his eyelids, looked at the ginseng soup in his hand, then took a sip and said: "Digging the river is not a brisk job, although you don't need to do it yourself, but the wind and sun all day long are not as good as staying in the workshop this time." ”

Li Tai was not moved by his father's words at all: "Even so, the child still wants to give it a try, this transformation of paper, the child has really gained a lot, not to mention that this is also an opportunity, the child does not want to miss it, the child should get off this errand, and will not give up." ”

Li Er nodded, he knew that although his son looked gentle on the face, he was actually very stubborn, and he decided that one thing would not be changed easily, although he was willing to let the child out to endure some wind and rain, but Li Tai, as a prince, always stayed with a group of craftsmen all day long, although he didn't mind, but the ministers of the court and the central government would always think that this was a loss of identity.

"Since you want to do it, then do it, if you need anything, just go to the Ministry of Works and say hello, and I will tell them to cooperate with you." Put the ginseng soup in his hand on the table, take off a jade pendant from his waist, and throw it to Li Tai: "This time you and Shi Jing improved the paper, Shi Jing gave me an extra ornament, and I couldn't treat you lightly, this jade pendant will be rewarded to you, with this jade pendant, you can control the officials of the Ministry of Industry at will during the digging of the river in Dongshan County." "Since his son wants to go, as a father, he will definitely give his full support, support is one thing, and giving him a jade pendant so that he can mobilize the Ministry of Industry is another thing, which can also be seen how much His Majesty Li Er loves his son.

"The son thanks his father for the reward." Li Tai caught the jade pendant, and was ecstatic in his heart, with the information and talents of the Ministry of Industry, the matter of digging the river was considered to have been more than half successful.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand: "En, let's go." ”

Li Tai got up and bowed to leave.

As soon as he walked out of the Taiji Palace, he was stopped by a small yellow door.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you over." The little yellow door bowed and said.

"Big brother?" Li Tai said suspiciously, and then said, "Well, Gu knows." After speaking, he walked towards the East Palace.

didn't go back to the Wude Palace, just this dress, Li Tai went directly to the East Palace, and as soon as he walked to the gate of the palace, he saw Li Chengqian walking out and met Li Tai head-on.

"Qingque, you came just in time, I can't wait here." Li Tai didn't say anything, Li Chengqian pulled Li Tai and walked into the house.

Walking into the room, the two sat down at the low table, and Li Tai asked, "Big brother, why are you in such a hurry to find me?" ”

Li Chengqian sniffed and said, "Just now, someone from Shijing Mansion came up and said that we should take the time to go out for a while, and someone originally went to his Zhuangzi to pass a message to you, but you were recalled by your father halfway and made a mistake." ”

"Shijing looking for us?" Li Tai was puzzled: "If there is something, just send someone to pass on the message, why is it so complicated." ”

Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head: "I don't know, so I brought you here, I don't have anything to do tomorrow, let's go out of the palace, how about it." ”

"But big brother, you are here in the East Palace" Li Tai looked at Li Chengqian with some concern, after all, Li Chengqian is the prince, and it is taboo to go out of the palace without permission, not to mention that the eyes of the Chinese military officials will fall on the prince, even these subordinate officials of the East Palace will always stare at Li Chengqian.

"There's nothing to do here, anyway, I'm going to see Shijing, I can take this opportunity to go out of the palace to have a look, Qingque, you're good, you can take advantage of the death of Jing Zhuangzi, you don't have to be stuffy in the Wude Hall all day, but I still stay in the East Palace, either learning to deal with government affairs with my father or a lot of heavy schoolwork." The resentment in Li Chengqian's heart is not limited to these, in order to be a qualified prince, he learns the six arts of a gentleman and a hundred classics every day.

Li Tai smiled: "This can't be helped, who made you the prince, by the way, where are you going to ask Shijing to go when you leave the palace tomorrow, and you can send someone to his mansion to reply in a while." ”

Li Chengqian thought for a while, and then his eyes lit up: "Qingque, how about going to Yanlai Tower?" ”

Li Tai said: "I'm no problem, you first prince, go to that kind of place, and be known by the imperial historians, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

"It's okay, just be cautious, besides, it's not like you haven't been there, Qingque, have you forgotten that when we were in the Qin Palace, we and Chongyi secretly followed Lu Guogong and them to Yanlai Tower."

It's okay not to say it, as soon as Li Chengqian mentioned this, Li Tai instantly exploded: "You still dare to mention this, I was studying at home back then, you had to pull me to follow you, but it was found that one of you ran faster than the other, I was only four years old, can I outrun you?" In the end, it wasn't me who was caught and revealed! ”

Li Chengqian smiled wryly when he heard this: "Didn't I run away with you at that time, but you fell on the ground and couldn't get up."

"Say!" Li Tai glared at Li Chengqian.

"Okay, okay, I'll not talk about it." Li Chengqian hurriedly waved his hand, and then said: "How about it, just go to Yanlai Tower, how about it, and the third child will come back from the barracks tomorrow morning, and call him along." ”

"The third brother has returned from Shudi?"

Li Chengqian said: "It's been a few days since I came back, he, the governor of Yizhou, is just like you, he is famous, he went to Shudi just to go through the motions, he has been in the barracks since he came back two days ago, and he will return to the palace tomorrow morning." ”

"Our brother is the farthest he has ever traveled." Li Tai said with a smile: "Okay, early tomorrow morning, I will come to the East Palace to look for you, and when the third brother arrives, we will leave the palace." ”

Li Chengqian nodded.
