Chapter 20: The Game
Li Er got up, took the coil of Empress Changsun, and looked at a large piece of bright yellow on it, although the outline had gradually come out, but His Majesty Li Er had never seen what this was.
"Guanyin, what are you embroidering?"
Empress Changsun smiled: "The concubine doesn't know, Jing'er painted it by herself, it looks quite cute, and she said that after this thing is embroidered, stuff the fluff in the middle, sew the two sides together or something, and the concubine plans to give it to the son-in-law after making it, and the son-in-law will definitely like it." ”
"Yes." Speaking of Princess Jinyang, His Majesty Li Er unconsciously smiled: "Her mother gave her, no matter what it is, she naturally likes it." ”
Without Princess Xincheng, Princess Jinyang, who was only ten years old, became the youngest daughter of His Majesty Li Er, and whenever she thought of Princess Jinyang, the corners of His Majesty Li Er's mouth always couldn't help but rise.
"Your Majesty, speaking of your son-in-law, the concubine has something she wants to tell Your Majesty." Empress Eldest Sun said.
"What?"
"My son is already ten years old, and it's not appropriate to live in the Lizheng Hall all the time, so it's better to give my son the warm pavilion built by the Taiye Pond." Empress Eldest Sun looked at His Majesty Li Er.
"That warm pavilion is the intention of Cheng Qian and Qingque, as for the son's bedroom, I choose another one." His Majesty Li Er said, thinking in his heart which palace he wanted to renovate and give to his son.
"Most of the palaces in the palace have been arranged, if it is another choice, I am afraid that there will be a lot of construction, and the concubines of the warm pavilion by the Taiye pool are only cultivated in the winter, and they have been living in the Lizheng Hall at other times, and the warm pavilion is so empty, it is better to repair it and give it to the son, and it will not affect the concubines to live in the past, right?" Empress Changsun advised, although the whole country is now peaceful in the Tang Dynasty, but there are still people around who are ready to move, the west is Tubo, and His Majesty Li Er in the east still wants to stretch his dragon claws to Goryeo, these Empress Changsun is clear in her heart, whether it is to renovate the palace or build another palace in the palace, the cost is not a small amount, if this is really done, presumably the impeachment in the court is indispensable, and His Majesty Li Er will definitely have to be angry again.
Over the years, a lot of pavilions and pavilions have been built scattered around the warm pavilion, all of which are Li Tai paid for someone to build, without it, Li Tai has money and no place to spend, so he simply built a house by the Taiye Pool, Li Tai's money is the dividends sent by the money pile over the years, and now the barren vacant land on the edge of the entire Taiye Pool is almost occupied by Li Tai, the pavilions and pavilions, fragrant flowers and small Xie, stepping into this, as if in the Jiangnan Water Town, there is no atmosphere and stability in the palace at all, so this place has also become the favorite place of the eldest grandson queen, But because of his identity, he can only stay for a few days, and the rest of the time is still in the Lizheng Palace.
His Majesty Li Er thought about it carefully, for the palace, the warm pavilion by the Taiye Pool is a pure land, and only there is it worthy of the son.
"Okay, let's repair the warm pavilion and give it to my son." His Majesty Li Er smiled: "I'm afraid that even if I don't go to repair the Warm Pavilion, just Chengqian and Qingque will not be wronged." ”
I chatted with Empress Changsun about the warm pavilion in the Lizheng Hall for most of the day, and it wasn't until the sun was empty that Deyi cautiously reminded him on the side.
"Your Majesty, mother, it's time for dinner."
Hearing this, Li Er got up and said to Empress Changsun: "Don't have lunch in the Lizheng Palace today, Deyi."
"The slave is here." Deyi bowed down and responded.
"Drive the East Palace, Guanyin, let's go to Chengqian's side for a meal today." His Majesty Li Er said with a smile.
"Your Majesty still can't help but want to go over and see those children." Empress Changsun got up and chuckled: "Then the concubine can only accompany His Majesty once." ”
The emperor and queen took the eunuchs and palace maids beside them, and the group went to the East Palace in a mighty way.
At this time, in the main hall of the East Palace, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were red-faced around a game of chess, while Li Ke on the side sat on the side and watched the two indifferently-for-tat, Li Zhi'an sat quietly next to Li Chengqian, occasionally expressing a few words of opinion on the chess game, and Li Ke nodded and praised on the side.
Next to Li Tai, there was a little girl who was only a teenager, it was Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang, who watched her eldest brother and fourth brother fight inseparably, while helping Li Tai to give advice, her demeanor was calm and calm, it seemed that helping Li Tai was playful, and she didn't care about the outcome at all.
To put it bluntly, the current situation is that Li Zhi helps Li Chengqian deal with Li Tai together, and Princess Jinyang helps Li Tai fight against the two opposite, and Li Ke sits at the top as a referee.
Judging from the layout and strategy of the chessboard, Li Zhi is not as good as Princess Jinyang, and Li Tai is not as good as Li Chengqian, which has caused the intractable scene on the chessboard now.
Li Chengqian's nursing mother, Mrs. Sui'an, walked into the hall and saw that several masters were still playing against each other, so she hurriedly said: "Your Highnesses, it's time for lunch, and my mountain is already ready in the side hall." ”
"It's okay, I'll go to dinner right after this game." Li Chengqian's eyes were still staring at the chess game, without the slightest relaxation, his young sister, his chess strength is really extraordinary, and he deserves to have the true inheritance of his father.
"Your Majesty has arrived~~~" With a shout from Deyi, His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun both walked into the main hall of the East Palace, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw this tense atmosphere, their eyes fell on the chessboard in the middle of several people, and a smile appeared on their faces.
"A few of you, if you continue like this, this chess game won't be over for a while." His Majesty Li Er said loudly.
"Erchen has seen his father." When everyone saw His Majesty Li Er enter the hall, they didn't care about the chess game, and they got up and saluted one after another.
"It's all free of courtesy, I originally planned to come to Chengqian's East Palace to have a meal, but it seems that this meal will not be eaten for a while." His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "Guanyin, come, let's see how these children play against this chess game." ”
Empress Eldest Sun smiled and nodded.
Princess Jinyang, who was standing on the side of everyone, walked to His Majesty Li Er's side with a smile: "Father, my son watched his brothers play chess, except for his rich expressions, it was really boring, otherwise let's change the way we play." ”
As soon as he saw Princess Jinyang, His Majesty Li Er was seriously spoiled, and said gently: "Oh? Cheng Qian, they actually made my little son feel bored? Well, how do you want to play? ”
"It's better to be like this, father, look, now in this game of chess, the fourth brother has fallen behind, and the eldest brother has taken advantage of some advantages, so it's better for the rest of the chess game to be played by the father and son, how about it?" The son looked at His Majesty Li Er with a smile.
"Hahahaha, the little son wants to play against me, don't say that I bullied you." His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and laughed.
"Then ask the father to take the fourth brother's white son, and the son will take over the advantages of the eldest brother's side, and the father will let the son be the emperor."
"Good!" His Majesty Li Er readily agreed.
