The birth of the fifth prince, Li Hong, still brought a wave of joy to the entire palace. The ministers in the court have no objection to the matter between Li Zhi and Wu Mei, and naturally they also feel Li Zhi's joy at this time, and the voice of congratulations is endless in the court, which also makes Li Zhi naturally a dragon-faced joy.

Wu Mei, who did not give birth to an heir to Taizong at the beginning, gave birth to a prince for Li Zhi a year after being taken to the palace by Li Zhi, which also made the courtiers feel the vague existence of Wu Mei in the harem.

Li Zhi originally wanted to announce to the world, celebrate with the people, and give amnesty to the people of the world, in order to express his joy at winning the dragon.

But Wu Mei, who had just entered the palace for only a year, was resolutely opposed, she knew very well about herself and Li Zhi, although she was already in the court and everyone was out of the mouth. But after all, the time is short, and the celebration may only attract slander and too much speculation from those who have a heart.

What's more, Wu Mei is still unstable in the harem, whether it is Queen Wang, who has never given birth to an heir to Li Zhi, or Concubine Xiao Shu, or other concubines, they all have a deeper foundation than her, the second rank Zhaoyi, who has just entered the palace.

And she, the second-grade Zhaoyi, was promoted by Li Zhi two days ago after giving birth to Li Hong. This also made Wu Mei warn herself in her heart that she had to be careful on weekdays, and too much pampering would only bring unwarranted disasters to herself.

Therefore, because of Wu Mei's extreme low-key, after the fifth prince Li Hong received some rewards from his father, the palace did not look particularly lively and happy because of the addition of one more prince.

Li Hong leaned on the palace maid's arms, and his little hand reached into his mouth from time to time to lick and bite, although he didn't want to do such an action all the time, but his thoughts were obviously not synchronized with the baby's body, so he could only let the palace maid over and over again, taking his little hand out of his mouth.

The palace maid looked at the five princes with dull eyes worriedly, since the first two days, for some reason, the five princes often have such dull eyes since they woke up from a nap, if it weren't for the fact that they were still babies, the palace maids would have thought that the bright little eyes were the eyes of adults thinking.

Even sometimes inadvertently, when she meets the eyes of the five princes, the deep and bright, slightly mysterious eyes always make her feel her heart skip a beat.

Li Hong looked up at the palace maid's somewhat stunned eyes, and naturally knew what was going on. I secretly said in my heart: "It's bad, I can't always be in a daze and thinking, I have to show that babies should be ignorant of the world and innocent." ”

So Li Hong put his little hand in his mouth and laughed happily at the palace maid, and the palace maid saw that Li Hong was back to normal, and immediately showed a relieved expression. The fifth prince is still very cute many times, which makes her feel happy in her heart.

Li Hong has been born for more than 100 days, and the people in the harem have seen almost the same, and in the 100th day, Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei and other concubines have come to see him, and after sitting down and greeting his mother, they all went back to their residences.

His own concubines also came to the door to thank them one by one, especially in front of the queen and Concubine Xiao Shu, the mother concubine Wu Mei showed full sincerity and humility, and she was completely like a little daughter-in-law, which was very different from the domineering generation of empresses recorded in the history books of later generations.

Li Hong also has four imperial brothers and two imperial sisters, and naturally the crown prince Li Zhong is the eldest among them, and they all followed his mother to see Li Hong.

Li Hong's little eyes have been circling between Queen Wang and the crown prince Li Zhong, Li Zhong was born to the palace man Liu, his biological mother was from a humble background, and was passed on to Queen Wang, and he has been a prince for several years, but he is cowardly by nature, even more unbearable than Li Zhi when he was a child, and he was panicked by Li Hong's small eyes.

Li Hong's thoughts flew wildly, and he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Li Zhong's fate, but in the eyes of the palace maid, why did these five princes wake up and be sleepy again, yawning all day, could it be that they didn't sleep well?

Everything in the harem is still calm, and the things outside the palace are simply things of another world for Li Hong, but occasionally from the conversation between the father and the mother concubine, it has only been three or five years since Taizong died, and there is already an undercurrent in the court, and some people have even moved to seek power and usurp the throne.

Sure enough, just when Li Hong was a toddler, his father Li Zhi ordered the execution of Fang Yiai, Xue Wanche, Chai Lingwu and others, these people were the original concubines of the Li family, so naturally it was indispensable to dispose of Li Zhi's sisters and make them commit suicide, even including his uncle Li Yuanjing and brother Li Ke.

These things naturally have nothing to do with Li Hong, the most relevant thing is that the queen mother is pregnant again, Li Hong pinched his fingers, this is the rhythm of one child a year, and he has three younger brothers and a younger sister in the back.

All the future heirs of his father and emperor are his own brothers and sisters, except for the heirs born to his mother, Li Zhi has never given birth to children with other concubines in the harem.

In the harem, the mother concubine Wu Mei has gradually become the backbone of the harem, although everything will be discussed with the queen and Concubine Xiao Shu, but the two have obviously let down all their vigilance against the mother concubine, and they are treated like sisters, naturally, there is finally a place for Wu Zhaoyi in the harem.

The more this is the case in the harem, the more afraid Li Hong becomes, it is recorded in the history books that he can live to be twenty-three years old, but who knows if history will be rewritten? I can turn nine to ten lives, and it is not difficult for the fifth prince Li Hong to die early, right? This is the harem, the best ideal place for Sun Tzu's Art of War to practice in the 5,000-year history of China.

But fortunately, the mother concubine still relies on herself very much, as the eldest son, it is very important to the mother concubine, at least she wants to occupy a place in the harem, so she has to rely on her eldest son, right?

But if she is a daughter, I am afraid that her status in Wu Mei's heart will not be so valued.

Li Hong and Wu Mei's ideas coincide at this point, so the one-year-old Li Hong has his own palace maid and eunuch one step earlier than the other three imperial brothers, the two palace maids are gentle and virtuous, clever and sensible, and the most important thing is that he is not very old but is already a young beauty, and he is naturally comfortable to serve.

The two eunuchs were obviously selected from Li Zhi, and at first glance they were the kind of masters who knew martial arts, and they were inseparable from the two palace maids all the time to protect Li Hong, which also made Li Hong, who had delusional persecution, no longer worry about being drowned in a urine bucket if he was left alone in the palace.

Whenever his father came to see him and his mother, Li Hong would staggered over and begged for a hug, which could be regarded as repaying his father's love for him.

Li Hong completely hid his thoughts in front of his father and mother in front of the palace maid, and in the eyes of the two, Li Hong was a complete baby.

This also made Li Zhi stroke his little head and tease every time he saw Li Hong: "Do you want your mother to give birth to a younger brother or sister for you?" ”

Every time Li Hong heard this, he would run to his mother in a leisurely manner, stretch out his little hand with his little feet and stroke his mother's big belly, which was about to give birth, and then looked at Li Zhi and smirked.

It's like a repertoire, every time Li Hong does this, it will attract Li Zhi's doting laughter, and then the two of them smirk at each other.

Li Hong ushered in his first sister Li Si, but Li Hong couldn't be happy, in his impression, it should be a younger brother, he has only one sister, and he is also the last princess of Taiping born to his mother, why is there a sister now? Is it ahead of schedule?

Li Hong, who was no longer swaying when he walked, sat down on the steps of the harem, his two calves dangling around, followed by two palace maids and eunuchs who were close to him.

The four of them have long been familiar with the temperament of this little adult, although in front of His Majesty and Zhaoyi, the behavior of the five princes is no different from that of children who are more than one or two years old, but when the five princes are alone, they will reveal a maturity and demeanor that adults should have from time to time.

Li Hong's eyes looked into the distance, and he saw that the queen was walking towards the palace of the concubine accompanied by the palace maids and eunuchs, this should be to see his sister Li Si.

Li Hong looked at Queen Wang and her party, but there was an indescribable irritability in his heart, but the irritability at the moment was that he couldn't talk to anyone, and he couldn't speak clearly, who made himself less than two years old!

The corners of his eyes were jumping more and more, which made Li Hong feel a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, he didn't know what was going on, but he always felt as if something big was about to happen.

Standing up, looking into the distance, he sighed, stretched out his hand to signal a eunuch named Hua Meng to come over, and then stretched out his hand to let the family pick him up, and his little hand stretched out and turned around and pointed to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda that was about to be built in Chang'an City.

Hua Meng immediately understood, and turned Li Hong in his arms around, so that the five princes could clearly see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which was about to be completed.

Li Hong looked at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in a daze, and only then did he feel a little better irritability in his heart, but the beating of the corners of his eyes became more and more urgent.

I don't know how long it took, Hua Meng's arms were numb, but he didn't dare to put the five princes down, Hua Meng could feel that the five princes seemed to be very irritable in their hearts, so they continued to hold Li Hong without saying a word.

"Your Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, Your Majesty is invited." A palace maid ran over in a panic and said with her head bowed with a frightened face.

"What's all this fuss about?" This is the question asked by the palace maid Xia Zhi.

"The slave maid doesn't know, Your Majesty asked the slave maid to quickly invite the Fifth Prince's Royal Highness to Zhaoyi's palace." The palace maid lowered her head, and her body was trembling.

Li Hong motioned to Hua Meng to put himself down without saying a word, walked up to the palace maid like a little adult, and looked up at the frightened and trembling palace maid.

"Go to the palace of the concubine." Li Hong had already guessed what was going on with Wu Mei in his mind, no wonder Wu Mei would spend his own money. It turns out that she has already started her conspiracy now, which is to frame the queen and queen.
