In the five years of Zhenguan, the prince ruled with sensitivity and benevolence, kindness and filial piety. Although he knew the etiquette at a young age, all the brothers and sisters, the love of the palace was all important, and at the age of three, he was named the king of Jin. And Taizong in the name of young age, refused to let the doctor in the queen's palace to set up a new palace room to nurse the request, only to the young son pitiful, the second age was frightened and seriously ill, almost lifeless, to Qin Tian Jian Bu, need parents to raise the family to be long, insisted on ordering the eldest grandson to take the Jin Wangzhi to temporarily live in the emperor's bed, until the Jin Wangzhi full of Yuan costumes, and then ordered the queen and the Jin King to live in the Ganlu Palace.

Taiji Palace, Liangyi Palace.

In the palace courtyard, there are bursts of silk and bamboo, and music and dance are playing.

Today is the gift of Taizong's joy to seal the sons, so hundreds of officials congratulate him.

In addition to the crown prince Chengqian, who had just performed the crown ceremony, and Li Tai, the king of Yue, who favored the kings. The most noteworthy are the two sons born to the Yang family of the previous dynasty: Li Ke, the king of Wu, and Li Zhen, the king of Liang.

As for the ninth son, Li Zhi, who was still a child who had just turned three years old at the moment, would only smile stupidly, sitting in the arms of the queen mother or his father, on his knees, watching the brothers try various skills and try to please his father.

After a while, Li Zhi felt a little tired of seeing, and wanted to come down by himself and take a walk. The eldest grandson thought about it, but put him down with a smile, and Taizong said more encouragingly: "Go!" Father and emperor, see if Zhi'er can keep up with the eldest brother! ”

When Li Zhi received such encouragement, he was overjoyed and staggered to Cheng Qian, who was standing among the princes, dressed in prince's clothes, and full of spirit.

From a distance, Cheng Qian saw the youngest brother walking towards him. So he laughed, rushed up, picked him up in his arms, and said, "Childish slave, what are you doing when you run out?" If you want anything, tell your brother, and your brother will get it. ”

Qingque smiled on the side: "Big brother's words are not right. Speaking of which, you are the crown prince, and you should be called this palace, besides, if there is anything you want, you are a slave. Why do it yourself? ”

Cheng Qian glanced at him angrily: "You have a lot of thoughts in the future!" You've said so much, which one has you done? ”

Qingque was surprised: "Brother, I am polite and obedient!" ”

"Really? The day before yesterday, who heard the young slave crying out that he was hungry, he ran to the imperial dining room and stole a large fat chicken to share with him, but he had diarrhea after eating, and he was angry with the dining room and beat the cooks? ”

Qingque hurriedly stepped forward in a panic, grabbed Cheng Qian's sleeve and stuck out his tongue and said, "Good brother! Don't tell your father and queen mother about this! The father and the emperor will stop, if the queen mother knows, Qingque will definitely have another good meal...... Good brother, good brother, don't hurt the green sparrows......"

Cheng Qian was helpless and said, "That's it!" Next time, I just remember that the young slave is young, and there are some things that we can eat, but he can't eat them. Also, from now on, you will be the king of Yue, an adult, don't be like a child anymore. ”

"Big brother is not a child yet...... "Qingque muttered.

The young slave was snuggled in the arms of the eldest brother, only watching the two brothers fighting back and forth, although they seemed to understand whether they understood or not, but they also found it interesting, so they clapped their hands, smiled and just applauded.

When the two elder brothers saw that the younger brother was so silly and cute, they couldn't help but be even more happy, and suddenly remembered that although the brothers were crowned kings at the same time, they had never prepared a gift for the younger brother. So they hurriedly summoned the palace attendants around them and asked what precious things were in the palace.

Suddenly, when this question was asked, it was inevitable that these palace people who were just in charge of daily life could not answer. In addition, the young slave shouted to come down and play with the other brothers. So Cheng Qian put down the immature slave and discussed with the palace people around him. Qingque also ordered the palace people around him to take care of it, and Mo Jiao's younger brother was left unattended.

The young slave is young, lively and active, where can he really stay in one place obediently and no longer move? In addition, although Cheng Qian loved and Qingque was careful, he didn't expect one thing after all: since this is a grand event today, and the two of them are the main palace, how can there not be an official who wants to make friends with one or two people who come forward? In this way, how can the two attendants sent to take care of the little prince be able to pay attention to the little prince from time to time?

So after a while, the green finch exclaimed, "Not good! What about the childish slaves? ”

Where are the slaves?

In fact, he is young and has short legs, and he has just walked steadily, how can he run far? Therefore, when Qingque and Chengqian looked for him all over the place, and were so anxious that they were sweating, this little child was tired of playing, but he hid in the peony bushes behind him and lay down to sleep!

He slept peacefully in this room, but two brothers came over with uncertain faces.

Who?

The second son born to Concubine Xiao Yang, who is known as Princess Chaora, is Li Ke, the king of Wu, and Li Zhen, who has just been crowned the king of Liang today. For some reason, no one followed the two of them.

Li Chen walked all the way, took a willow branch that had just been folded to play all the way, and angrily pulled the flowers scattered and scattered, and the flowers hurt the leaves.

"What are you doing! I don't have to make any fuss with this flower! When Li Ke saw him like this, he stretched out his hand to grab the willow branch. But he was hidden behind his back by Li Zhen, and said angrily: "Brother is so good? My brother isn't a little angry? ”

Li Ke paused, after all, he was still a few years older than Li Chen, and said: "Those people, what do you care about him!" ”

"Brother!" Li Zhen said angrily: "Brother and me! Isn't it the son of the emperor?! What's more, which brother can't compare to that Chengqian?! It's just that the eldest brother is half a year old, and his father made him the crown prince, and he wants me to wait for my brother to do this when he sees him! ”

Li Ke said annoyedly: "Enough! Since ancient times, he has been a long prince, don't say that the eldest brother is half a year old, that is, most of the day, he is also the eldest brother! Also the Prince! According to the ceremony, it should be that we see the prince and salute! ”

"Brother!" Li Chen was puzzled: "Why is my brother so low?!" You respect that Cheng Qian so much, but what kind of respect does he have for you?! When I see you and me, I just don't see you! Besides......" Li Chen sneered: "Didn't you hear what my father said today?" The main palace is in one vein, and the sons are in the sequence. But with our people, there is no ......."

"Shut up!" Li Ke said angrily: "You are becoming more and more disagreeable!" Beware of me telling my mother to go! ”

"Stop! Go and sue it! If the mother knew about today's events, she would never allow the eldest grandson to deceive me so far! Brother...... Sister Qingxuan is right, you have forgotten now, you are a serious heir with the dragon blood of the Sui family......"

With a "snap", Li Chen received a solid slap, and he looked at Li Ke who was trembling with anger in surprise.

"Are you going to kill your mother? Such words of conspiracy! Dare to say it! Who the hell taught you! Li Ke scolded sharply.

Li Chen was shocked at this time that he actually remembered the words he heard from Qing Xuan. I was so scared that I was in a cold sweat at the moment.

Although Li Ke was angry with his younger brother, he finally mourned his brother's misfortune, so he stroked his shoulder and said: "Chen'er, why don't you know that you are depressed in your heart?" It's for my brother, why isn't it in this palace, depressed?

But after all, we love our mother. Can't you look at her heart that is already troubled by her father, and then she is troubled and tired by our brother, right? Promise my brother that in the future, I will listen to and say less such words. Do you understand? ”

"Yes......"

The two brothers were speechless, Li Yan was bored, and waved willow branches to whip the flowers.

Li Ke wanted to persuade him, but suddenly heard a child's cry of pain from the flowers: "Ah! ”

The two brothers were shocked, and when they hurriedly looked at it, there was a cute little boy dressed in embroidered gold and white, with a child's bun and pink makeup, covering his neck that was red and drenched, and weeping mournfully.

Isn't it the immature slave that Cheng Qian and Qingque can't find?

Although Li Chen said jealous words, he was frightened by the power of his father, mother, concubine and son. I saw that I actually injured my father's eldest grandson, who was the most beloved recently. He was so frightened that he trembled all over his body, and he didn't dare to say a word again. He was about to kneel down and cry and beg to be spared.

Although Li Ke was also startled, he was older after all, and hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the crying young slave in his arms, comforting him with a good voice, and angrily snatched the willow branch in Li Chen's hand, raised it high, fell gently, and smacked Li Chen a few times, coaxing the young slave not to cry and be angry.

Childish slave children, how can they understand these people's sophistication, only that Li Ke treats himself well, and immediately burst into tears, and can't bear to see Li Zhen crying and pitiful, so he hugged Li Ke's neck and begged for mercy for Li Chen.

When he did this, he taught Li Ke to feel quite guilty - he had been in the palace for a long time, and he had forgotten that the person in front of him was also his young and ignorant little brother.

At this moment, looking at the wound on the neck of the young slave, he couldn't bear it, so he threw the willow branch and ordered Li Chen to quickly go and get the medicine.

Li Zhenzheng was desperate and fled in a hurry. After a while, he also taught the palace people around him to send Jin Chuangyao, and he never showed up again.

Li Ke shook his head, and only took the golden medicine to apply it carefully to the childish slave, and ordered someone to take some snacks and playthings to have fun with the childish slave.
