Chapter 21 There is a Father, and there is a Son
"The queen mother has been here for almost an hour, and now she is still waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the room." Xiao Rou opened her mouth and said to Li Chengqian.
"Has the Queen Mother ever asked you where the palace has gone?" Li Chengqian asked with a worried face.
"The queen has been here for so long, how can she not ask? However, the slave maid did not tell the queen that His Royal Highness the prince had left the palace. Xiao Rou said to Li Chengqian.
Hearing Xiao Rou's words, Li Chengqian hugged Xiao Rou and kissed her on the forehead. After all, as long as Empress Changsun didn't know that she was out of the palace, things would be much easier.
But at this time, Empress Eldest Sun actually walked out of the room. I just saw Li Chengqian kissing Xiaorou's forehead.
So he opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behaves so frivolously, if your father sees it, won't he be punished again." ”
"It turned out that the queen mother had come to the queen, and I don't know what the queen mother was looking for her son. Send someone to inform the son and go, so why bother the queen mother to run in person. Li Chengqian said with a smile on his face.
and came directly to the side of Empress Changsun, and gently pinched the shoulders of Empress Changsun.
At the same time, let Xiaorou quickly lift her own free chair out, and then let the eldest grandson queen sit on the easy chair. Li Chengqian shook gently on the side.
"Gao Ming, though you have a good brain, you can concoct these strange things. But after all, this is not the prince's doing, you have to restrain yourself. Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Chengqian earnestly.
"The queen mother can rest assured that her sons will definitely pay attention to their words and deeds. I won't make my father angry anymore. Li Chengqian said with an obedient expression.
"What about the drawings for the reconstruction of Yiqiu Palace? Could it be that the master craftsman of the imperial court is lying to your father? Empress Eldest Sun asked with a serious expression.
Hearing the words of Empress Eldest Sun, Li Chengqian couldn't help but say that it was not good. I didn't expect that the master craftsman would secretly sue himself.
But it's useless to think about it. Li Chengqian could only smile and said: "The queen mother doesn't know, and the son feels that the design drawings that will be taken out by the supervisor are a little too expensive. ”
So Erchen revised it again and rationalized the construction cost. Now Erchen can rebuild Yiqiu Palace with only six or seven percent of the money. ”
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Empress Eldest Sun's face showed a hint of relief. So he said to Li Chengqian: "Since this is the case, you should explain it to your father in advance." Why do it in private? ”
"The sons don't see that their father is busy with business during the day, and they have to wander among the harem concubines at night. Where is the son embarrassed to disturb his father? Li Chengqian said with a wicked smile.
Li Shimin has not stayed in the Lizheng Palace for more than ten days. These days, Li Shimin has been staying in Concubine Yang's palace, lingering with Concubine Yang's affection.
Although Empress Changsun is not a jealous person, it is inevitable that she will complain after a long time. Hearing Li Chengqian's words today, Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but show a trace of loss on her face.
Seeing the expression of Empress Eldest Sun, Li Chengqian's heart couldn't help but blossom with joy. I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart: "Last time, the two of you gave me a mixed doubles meal." I'm going to have to find a way to get you guys in trouble today. ”
So Li Chengqian said to the eldest grandson: "Queen Mother, Erchen feels that his father has snubbed his mother a little. It is better to let the sons and daughters persuade their fathers, lest the father forget his wife. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, where is your turn to worry about the affairs of the father and the queen mother. Think about how you should explain it to your father. After the Empress Eldest Sun finished speaking, she got up and went back to the Lizheng Palace.
……
"Your Majesty, the queen mother sent someone to invite the emperor. said that there was something to discuss with the emperor. Wang De came to Li Shimin and said.
After Li Shimin heard this, he also felt that he hadn't spent the night in the Lizheng Hall for a long time. So he closed the music fold in his hand and said: "Spread the decree and set up the political hall." ”
After Wang De sighed, he went down to prepare, and after a short time, the chariot was ready. Then he led the way to the Lizheng Palace.
……
"Guanyin, I don't know what important things to discuss with me?" After Li Shimin walked into the Lizheng Palace, he said to Empress Changsun.
"Why, can't you invite the second brother to come over and sit down if there is nothing to do now?" Empress Eldest Sun said with a complaining face.
"What Guanyin said, I am just busy with official business during this time. Otherwise, how can you snub Guanyin? Li Shimin said to Empress Changsun with a smile.
After all, he did not stay overnight in the Lizheng Hall for a while. So the tone of speech is naturally not so tough.
"Forget it, the second brother doesn't have to explain to me. I'm not one of those concubines vying for favor. I asked the second brother to come over today to discuss the clever marriage with the second brother. Empress Changsun glared at Li Shimin and said.
"Why did Guanyin suddenly remember this today, could it be that she saw the daughter of which family she saw and felt that she liked it better?" Li Shimin said to Empress Eldest Sun with a smile.
"I only know that I am merry and happy, but I don't know that your son is fifteen years old this year. Today I happened to see him kissing his personal maid. ”
"That's why I'm going to discuss with you and choose a suitable crown princess for Gao Ming." Empress Eldest Sun glared at Li Shimin fiercely again.
"I also remembered when you said that, Gao Ming is now fifteen years old. It's also time to choose a princess for him. ”
"It's just that this kid is a little too much, how can he kiss his personal maid in public. Wouldn't this be a loss of the identity of the prince? Li Shimin nodded and said.
"This is called that if there is a father, there must be a son, he is so lustful, how can he, who is a son, not know that the blue is better than the blue." Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Shimin with a playful expression.
Li Shimin's lust is obvious to all, so when Empress Changsun said this, he was speechless for a while.
So he could only say with an embarrassed face: "I have written down this matter, and I will mention it to you Aiqing tomorrow morning." Let them choose a suitable crown princess for Gao Ming. ”
"I'll tell you, those generals can't do it. There is no trace of gentleness in the dance of knives and guns, how can they be the mother of the world in the future? Empress Changsun said to Li Shimin.
"Don't worry, I will definitely choose a virtuous and virtuous princess like Guanyin for him. In the future, he will also lead the harem beauties. Li Shimin said with a smile.
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand, grabbed the waist of the eldest grandson, and walked towards the bed.
However, Wang De was very discerning and withdrew all the palace maids and eunuchs in the Lizheng Palace. Then he personally closed the palace door and led people to guard outside the Lizheng Palace.
