Body 4 Brother and sister

After a short while, Li Hong saw the second prince Li Xiao, the third prince Li Shangjin and the fourth prince Li Sujie talking and laughing, jumping and running over, and the two sisters Princess Yiyang and Princess Gao'an held hands and followed the three princes and walked over slowly.

The five of them saw Li Hong in the pavilion almost at the same time, and the five of them were stunned for a moment, and then Princess Yiyang looked at a few of them, and walked over with a small face first.

Li Hong also hurriedly got up and walked to the pavilion to greet them, and when the five approached, Li Hong took the lead in saluting and said, "Li Hong has seen all the imperial brothers and sisters. ”

"Why did you get here?" Yiyang looks like their leader.

Among the five, she and the second prince Li Xiao are the largest, and the two are still the same age, and they are both nine years old at the time. The second is Princess Gao'an, who is also eight years old, the third prince Li Shangjin is seven years old, and Li Sujie, who has the same father and mother as Yiyang and Gao'an, is six years old.

The things in the palace were originally that the mother was more expensive than the son, but when the prince and princess were not yet adults, they still needed to rely on the mother's character and the family background outside the palace to divide the size.

Yiyang, Gao An and Li Sujie were born to Concubine Xiao Shu, and in the palace, they are naturally the most important princes and princesses in the palace, except for the crown prince Li Zhong. The Lanling Xiao clan is also one of the families in Datang that can reach the top gate valve in addition to the five surnames and seven families, but it is slightly inferior to the Taiyuan Wang family, that is, the family of Queen Wang.

Therefore, when they saw Li Hong, they were much more relaxed than the other two princes. The mothers of Li Xiao and Li Shangjin are Li Zhi's concubines and concubines, so they seem a little restrained at the moment.

Of course, they are not afraid of Li Hong, if they were afraid of Li Hong, they would not tease Li Hong before, or prank Li Hong's face with baby fat in a prank.

Their uneasiness obviously came from their mother, and it was obvious that because of the death of Li Hong's sister, the subtle changes in the identity relationship and status between the concubines in the harem were triggered.

Concubine Li Hong's status in the palace is becoming more and more valued by the emperor, which makes the other concubines feel pressure and uneasy. Especially seeing that the queen was reprimanded by His Majesty but there was no way to refute it, and even His Majesty may use the posture of abolishing the queen to punish the queen to comfort Wu Zhaoyi's pain of losing her daughter.

This made the other concubines have to be more cautious than usual when dealing with Wu Zhaoyi, and these feelings of the concubines will naturally be warned to their princes.

Li Hong saw everything in his eyes, although he was the youngest among the six, no one could retain the memory of his previous life like him, no, but the memory of the tenth life.

The six of them sat down around the pavilion, and Yiyang opened his mouth and asked, "Li Hong, what are you doing here?" ”

"I'm playing with you." Li Hong said with a staring at the small beads of his eyes.

"We don't have much time to play, so we can't play with you like we used to." An Yang continued, and then pursed his lips and looked very unhappy.

"Why can't you play with me?" Li Hong was a little strange, could it be that their mother dared to let them blatantly refuse to be with him?

Li Xiao looked at a few people, and sighed with a sad face: "Alas, Mr. let us practice calligraphy, ten pieces of paper per person, and stipulate that we must write the best words on ten sheets of paper, otherwise we will be punished." ”

Li Hong looked at the other people's nods of agreement, he only needs to go to Hongwen Hall to study after he is three years old next year, so he doesn't know these things.

Tilting his head and thinking for a while, he said, "Then you can not write on these ten pieces of paper, but write on other pieces of paper and then write on those ten pieces of paper?" ”

"How is that possible, the palace maid has already told the concubine about this, and they won't agree, but no one dares to disobey Mr." Yiyang thought about it for a while, and then denied Li Hong's bad idea.

Li Sujie didn't speak, and said sullenly at the moment: "It's better to be a big brother, and you don't have to accept the studies left by Mr. ”

"Why not, he will naturally have other gentlemen in the prince's Chongwen Pavilion to give him other studies, and because he is the prince, Mr. is only for him to learn, I'm afraid...... It's harder than us. Yiyang retorted to his younger brother.

Not to mention that the girl is precocious, she understands reasoning at such a young age, and she can know that the prince will be offended more than them by learning.

"Old Five, you can play by yourself, but don't play for too long, don't let the mother worry about you, we're going to pick flowers, and then we're going back to learn to write." Gao An stood up and walked up to Li Hong, but he still couldn't help pinching Li Hong's chubby face.

Li Hong let her pinch lightly, and nodded thoughtfully, but he still felt a warmth in his heart, at least Gao An's actions proved that they did not regard him as an enemy.

Looking at the five people who were rising in a row, watching them walk slowly on the bluestone slab, their heads moved, and suddenly they thought of a way that allowed them to practice calligraphy without paper, and blurted out with a light in their eyes: "Wait a minute." ”

Yiyang and the others were taken aback, turned around and grimaced at him, and then waved impatiently to signal him to hurry back.

"I have a way for you to practice calligraphy without paper." Li Hong craned his neck and said.

"I don't believe it, how old are you, you want to deceive a few of us." Li Sujie is only six years old, and he looks down on people who are a little bit looking down on the ninth and tenth generations.

Li Hong pursed his lips, and subconsciously bit his hand into his mouth, watching the dirt on his fingers be bitten clean by himself, then he took it out and wiped it on the placket and said: "Okay, if you don't believe it, then I won't tell you, I'll tell them a few people to know, and tomorrow you will go to school and wait to be punished." ”

Yiyang looked at the two-year-old child, walked over in disbelief, and asked suspiciously, "Do you really have a way for us not to learn to practice calligraphy on paper?" Not deceiving? If you have a way, I'll give you something to eat. ”

Li Hong nodded heavily, and then motioned to Hua Meng to find a small bluestone slab that was a little thinner, and then under the suspicious eyes of the five people, he instructed the palace maid to bring a bowl of water and a brush.

After finishing the order, Li Hong patted his neck with his little hand and giggled and said, "Wait, you'll know in a while." ”

Pulling a few people to sit down in the pavilion again, Li Hong and them almost did have his thoughts, that is, since the death of his sister, Li Hong swore from the bottom of his heart that he would never let this kind of thing happen again in the palace and repeat it between his brothers and sisters.

Therefore, he must do what he can now to maintain their relationship, and even in the future, let them know that he can protect them from harm, and make them believe that his sincerity to them is completely because blood is thicker than water.

Hua Meng and the palace maid returned to the pavilion at the same time, Li Hong motioned for Hua Meng to put a few bluestone slabs in his hand in front of him, and then asked the palace maid to put a bowl of water and a brush on one side.

Li Xiao, Yiyang, Gao An, Li Shangjin and Li Sujie looked at Li Hong's actions in confusion, they didn't think that they could write in this way.

"It's free to teach you, and you'll have to pay for it next time. Look at it. Li Hong turned around and took out a handkerchief for the palace maid from the palace maid's sleeve, leaned down and wiped the bluestone slab indiscriminately, which had been wiped clean by Hua Meng and the non-existent dust.

picked up the brush next to him and dipped it in the bowl of water, with a unique evil smile on his face, and then scribbled on the bluestone slab one by one, and then put the brush down after a few random strokes: "Understood?" Cluck...... You don't need to thank me, but you're just a little smarter than you. ”

Yiyang was still thinking about it, Li Sujie and Li Xiao, Li Shangjin and Gao An were already surprised: "Really, in this way, we can wait to learn, and then write it on the paper given by Mr., and don't be afraid that it will be ugly." ”

Li Xiao was the first to pick up a stone slab, then picked up the brush that Li Hong had just put down, dipped it in the water bowl again, and was always a little awkward against the bluestone slab.

As soon as he finished writing the word Li Xiao, Li Hong said: "How about it, yes, you can wait for the watermark to disappear and then continue to practice, giggle...... You don't need to thank me, you're just a little smarter than you. ”

After Li Hong finished speaking, without waiting for Yiyang to react, he hurriedly spread his calves and ran outside the pavilion, shouting and mocking the few people in the pavilion as he ran.

Since then, Li Hong has run over to play with them every once in a while, and the relationship between the several people has become more and more harmonious unconsciously, Li Xiao and Li Shangjin have also let go of their attitude towards him a lot, and they are no longer as restrained as before, and they can talk and laugh and even occasionally tolerate Li Hong teasing them without feeling nervous.

Yiyang will always look like a little big sister, Li Hong has been sent to the vicinity of Wu Mei's palace by Yiyang several times, and further on, Yiyang will not dare to blatantly pull Li Hong's ears.

Li Hong is like a mirror in his heart, he naturally knows this kind of thing better than anyone else, and they no longer contradict themselves, but they still have an inexplicable fear of their mother.

The time was spent in Li Hong's heartlessness, and one thing that surprised Li Hong was that a group of old ministers who followed Emperor Taizong were still alive, although they were all old and enjoying the joy of family.

But this was the first time he had heard the names of those who were still alive, and the stories of these people were legends to him.

Just like his father and mother, they are all legendary figures in China's 5,000-year history. Although his parents are quite controversial, it does not affect them to be romantic figures in history, just like Chi Jingde, the Duke of Eguo, Cheng Zhijie (Cheng Biting Jin), Tang Jian, the Duke of Ju, and Li Ji (Xu Shiji), who are still alive.

And the reason why he knew about the existence of these people was because Cheng Zhijie, who was the general of the Right Tunwei at this time, was appointed by Li Zhi as the general of the march of the Green Mountain Road to crusade against the Western Turkic Shabaluo Khan.

And these also gave Li Hong the idea of secretly going out of the palace to visit these legends.
