Although the slap on the back of Li Ye's head was not heavy, Li Ye still symbolically shrunk his neck, grinned with bared teeth, and then began to make a bitter little face, frowned and said, "What should the minister do now?" Even if Erchen returned the things that Pei Qing and Pei Xuan sent back on weekdays, but in this way, it made people feel that Erchen was getting rid of suspicion, and in order not to be punished by his father, he wanted to withdraw and stay out of the matter, and there was no way to clear Erchen's mind that he did not covet the position of the prince. ”

"What do you want to do?" Li Hong looked at the door of the Zichen Hall on the steps, because of the relationship between the height and the height, now he was standing at the foot of the steps of the Zichen Palace, and he could only see most of the three girls at the door.

"I don't know, Erchen really didn't think about it like this, but Pei Qing is too insidious, every time he gives Erchen the impression that he is honest and upright, who would have thought that he would do this behind his back, Erchen is still too tender, it is estimated that this pot has to be carried." The little guy didn't know when, but he also began to hold his hands behind his back, shaking his head and sighing in an old-fashioned manner.

Such behavior naturally attracted Li Hong to slap him on the back of the head, looked at the little adult with a sad face, and scolded with a smile: "A teenager should have the liveliness of a teenager, it's okay, you shake your head and sigh, what kind of old man is serious behind your hands?" ”

"The gentlemen who look at the country are like this, when the children of the royal family are studying, there are troublemakers who don't care, and the gentleman can't increase the punishment, and this is what he looks like in desperation. By the way, I heard that when you were in school, Shangguan's mother's father, Lord Shangguan, was once angry with you ....... ”

"It's your, at that time, I was covered by your imperial grandmother, so naturally I could run rampant, and your mother was indifferent, and she never favored any of your brothers. So, don't expect to reach the same heights at the same age. Looking at Li Ye, who was originally quite straight, because his words suddenly collapsed, Li Hong had no choice but to comfort again: "But you are good now, and my father is already very satisfied." ”

"At the age of ten, he was appointed as the head of the household department, and at the age of fourteen, he went to Anxi! It's incredible to think about it, alas, ....... Li Ye sighed again and said something to Li Hong, although his mood was no longer depressed, the big stone thrown by Pei Qing in his heart was still firmly pressed on his heart.

Li Hong looked at Li Ye, who was becoming more and more relaxed, so he asked, "Then tell me, what did Pei Qing, who is a courtier, do wrong?" ”

"Erchen now...... Standing in Erchen's position, he just felt that he was being used, and he was not convinced. But if you stand in Pei Qing's position, Pei Qing should want to get close to the water and get the moon first, take a step ahead of others, and establish a circle of interests around his sons, so that after his father and emperor set up the crown prince, they can easily obtain the maximum benefits. In fact, if the son is Pei Qing, he will not be in a hurry to win over the circle, after all, you have never made a prince father, Pei Qing is obviously ...... to do this. ”

Li Ye was suddenly startled, and then looked at Li Hong and said urgently: "Pei Qing actually doesn't care much about his son, whether he can be made the prince by your father, the emperor, he is doing this now, for two reasons, one is to take the courtiers one step ahead of others, hoping to become the prince's confidant one day." The second is that before he deliberately wooed and used the name of his sons, he had already violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and some people already knew about it, but ...... Maybe he didn't catch him with any tricks, so in order to protect himself, or in order to be able to be lightly punished by the court, he wooed his ministers to warn those who knew that he was corrupt and perverted the law, not to easily offend and denounce him? Isn't it? ”

"Almost, so he chose you, killing three birds with one stone, which can not only deter those who detect his corruption and pervert the law, but also attract you to stand behind him and show other officials, and once you are made the crown prince by your father, then he will kill three birds with one stone." Li Hong didn't expect that his eldest son's brain was still quite smart, and Pei Qing's mind could make him guess a thing or two.

Although there is his own step-by-step guidance just now, it is already rare to be able to grasp the main thread of the matter like a vine, and then draw inferences from one another.

"It won't be your queen mother or your gentle mother, or your Aunt Bai Chun is a little bit of a trick on you, right?" When Lao Tzu's questioning was a bit redundant, as if he was afraid that his son would be smarter than him.

"No, Concubine Wen just reminded her son that she seemed to be beaten, but the queen mother just listened to her son's narration and didn't say anything, Aunt Bai didn't know at all, and her son didn't say anything." Li Ye replied to himself.

"Let's go, go to Chang'an with my father, this trip, maybe you can understand that the officials above the court, after leaving the palace, are they still as modest and cautious as you see, full of kindness." Li Hong was on a whim, and it happened that he hadn't been to Chang'an City for a long time, and the weather was good today, so the father and son went around.

Only Hua Meng and Mang Chong followed behind Li Hong and Li Ye, walked out of the square of the Zichen Palace, and after crossing the Xuanzheng Hall in front, an ordinary carriage that could no longer be ordinary had stopped at the door, and the father and son got into the car one after another, and Hua Meng and Mang Chong drove a single carriage on the left and right, and slowly drove towards Chang'an City.

The three daughters at the gate of Zichen Palace, after watching the figures of the father and son disappear, looked at the back of the Xuanzheng Hall in the distance gently, and a wisp of wind blew the hair in front of her forehead, only to hear her mutter: "It won't be sent to Zongzheng Temple in person, right?" ”

"You don't have a crow's mouth." Bai Chun, who was standing between the two women, looked at Pei Wanying's speechless white eyes, stretched out his finger on the gentle and slender waist in palace clothes, and pinched it vigorously.

Then she looked at Pei Wanying as if she was really a little worried about the gentleness of the big mouth, and said softly: "Ye'er has run so many laps, and she is already tired and sweating profusely and panting, presumably it will already be Your Majesty's punishment for Ye'er, and now I am afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to bear the loneliness and go to Chang'an City." ”

"I'm a little worried about being said gently, I hope I don't get caught up in her crow's mouth." Pei Wanying sighed, and then seemed to remember something, looked at Bai Chun and hesitated for a while and said: "The other princes in the palace, it seems that I should remind my sister, as they grow up, some courtiers' hands have begun to be unbearable, and they have stretched out to them, but don't have such a thing as Li Ye again." ”

Bai Chun nodded, and did not speak, Pei Wanying is the master of the harem, the queen of the Tang Dynasty, since she said it to herself to ask for her own opinion, she also has to give the queen enough face, and she can't really speak and agree, which will make her feel that her identity as a slave and maid seems to be above the queen's head.

So nodding slightly quietly, not only let Pei Wanying see her support, but also made Pei Wanying's words look like mumbling, rather than asking for her own opinion.

Gently looking at Bai Chun, who has always been cautious and never participates in the affairs of the harem, even if he goes to the harem, he only asks for peace for the queen mother, and after speaking, he turned to look at Pei Wanying of Zichen Palace, pouted and said with a sinister face: "Are you two tired?" ”

"Huh?" Pei Wanying, who reacted a little slowly, blinked her bright eyes sideways, looking gentle for some reason.

"You're not tired, take Li Mei every day to toss the palace upside down, queen, don't follow the edict and raise the likable Li Mei by your side, otherwise it will ......." Bai Chun's tone said with a hint of schadenfreude: "The princess of the Tang Dynasty is about to become a tomboy, how can this be ...... in the future." ”

"No, no one can take her, she's mine." said gently and resolutely, but seeing the two girls looking at her at the same time, she tugged at Bai Chun's sleeve with a little weakness: "It's also yours." ”

"Then you should let her hide with that tiger and scare people, be careful when it scares Your Majesty, and then slaughter that tiger." Bai Chun looked at the dead-faced Concubine Wen angrily and said.

"That's it, I was startled last time, in the evening, when the lights were on, I was on the way back to the palace, and I saw Li Mei riding a tiger out of the flowers, almost scared me away, you have to restrain a little in the future." Pei Wanying also helped.

The gentleness of the weak strength is missing An Xiaohe and Yan Lingbin at the moment, so he had to salute slightly: "Yes, gentleness and obey the will of the two sisters." ”

The three girls chuckled and lowered their heads to talk about some women's things, and then went to the harem together, although Pei Wanying and Wen Rou could stand at the door of Zichen Palace, but it didn't mean that they could enter at will when the emperor was away, so Bai Chun accompanied the two of them to the harem slowly, and Li Ye, who followed Li Hong out, was once again left behind by his own mother.

Ordinary carriages walk on the bustling streets of Chang'an, rows of shops are next to each other, on the wide road, pedestrians and carriages go their own way, from time to time you can see some celebrities and gentlemen, and the young women beside them point to the prosperity of Chang'an.

The curtains on both sides of the carriage were slightly lifted, so that the father and son in the carriage could observe the situation outside, but it made it difficult for pedestrians outside to see who was sitting inside.

In addition, the carriage is ordinary, so walking on the noisy streets of Chang'an will not attract the attention of others.

"Where are we going?" Li Ye, who has not been out of the palace for a long time, still has excitement and novelty on his face in the face of the flowery Chang'an City.

"How long has it been since it came out? I didn't care if you came to Chang'an, did I? Li Hong looked at Li Ye's excited appearance and frowned slightly.

"Gotta have ...... It's been two or three months, oh, no, I came out on the Yuan Festival, but I haven't come out so easily, and the queen mother won't let me, for fear that we will cause trouble. Li Ye, who is still a teenager, betrayed his mother in two sentences.

Sure enough, hearing Li Ye's unintentional words, the Tang Emperor couldn't help but pout: "The woman's opinion, I'm afraid that I will come out and cause trouble, and if I am in the palace, won't the matter automatically come to the door?" Next time you want to come out, just come out, as long as you don't bully people, my Li Hong's prince can't just be a caged bird. ”

"Really?" Li Ye, who had been looking out the window, asked excitedly.

"You dare to doubt even your father's words." Raised his foot and kicked lightly on Li Ye's ass.
