On the way home, Bai Zhihan's small mouth kept pouting, Yang Lin didn't even respond to kissing her two or three times, the concubines are different, Li Lizhen's two sons are Yanglin's sons-in-law, what a hundred days banquet, the first birthday banquet, the horse mansion has to be done in a big way, and the emperor's reward, but her son Yang Tianling is just a concubine, no grace, as a mother, of course she is a little unhappy for her son.

"What's wrong? What about holding grievances for Tianling? Is there a must-have? Yang Lin shrugged Bai Zhihan's fragrant shoulder lightly and said.

"I don't care about royal titles, but if I let him know that he is different from his two brothers from an early age, I'm afraid he will have some bad thoughts when he grows up." Bai Zhihan said worriedly.

"Hehe, Jue is really nothing in my Yang family, but you don't have to worry, the children of my Yang family will not have any psychological imbalance because of their different social status, because they will receive my education from an early age, and in terms of thinking, they will be completely different from ordinary children in the Tang Dynasty, look at me, when did you care about your official position or title? As for some superficial work, you don't have to worry about it, Lizhi is a kind person, she will handle it, Tianling little guy has inherited the genes of the two of us, and his achievements will never be lost to anyone. ”

Under Yanglin's comfort, Bai Zhihan figured it out a lot, and sure enough, when the two returned home, Li Lizhi talked to them about the Yangtianling 100-day banquet, although it was a concubine, but with Yanglin's identity, a grand banquet was inevitable, and the most bad thing in the Horse Mansion was money, as long as the seven-seven mourning period of the eldest grandson queen was avoided, the court would not care.

"You two can just watch these things happen, I'm still very busy these days! By the way, why haven't I seen Xiaozhi in the past two days, His Majesty said that he was confined to our house, but our house is not a prison cell, and he can still move very freely. Yang Lin asked while enjoying the servant's foot bathing service.

"Xiaoji! The whole nerd soaks in your study every day! Even three meals a day are sent to the study to eat. I'm afraid he'll learn his brain badly. Li Lizhi said a little worriedly, but after saying that, she realized that she had lost her words, covered her mouth, and blushed with shame on her face. Yanglin's study is actually his own writings the most, saying that Li Zhi's learning of Yanglin's knowledge makes his brain bad, isn't that a criticism of Yanglin's learning.

"Hehe, it's a good thing to be studious, but no matter how studious you are, you have to be relaxed, your brain can't get rest, but it's easy to get sick, so let's do it, from tomorrow, let him follow the escort team every morning for an hour of morning exercises, if he still wants to go to the study, this is a must, there is no condition to talk about." Yang Lin decided the future of the Tang prince with a word, and what Yang Lin didn't expect was that because of his temporary decision, Li Zhixue went to the whole set of training methods of the guards of the Horse Mansion, which played a vital role in his future struggle for the throne.

In the East Palace, the thin Li Chengqian is no longer as moved as he was at the beginning, beating and scolding the palace people, breaking the utensils, calming down, he has begun to accept some facts, fortunately Li Shimin did not remove him as the crown prince, and he did not even take the initiative to mention it in the court, now, he is not worried about his younger brother Li Tai, the king of Wei, who was also grounded with him, Li Ke, who lingered in Chang'an and did not return to the fiefdom, asked him to raise his heart.

Don't think that Li Chengqian lost the power in the court if he was grounded, with the support of the eldest grandson Wuji, he still has a power second only to Li Shimin in the court, in fact, Li Tai's loss this time is greater than him, his savings for many years are almost wiped out in a war, and he also lost the favor of Ma Yanglin, the strongest Tianzhu who hides the strongest strength in the Tang Dynasty, on the whole, Li Chengqian has nothing to be frustrated.

But he was grounded one day, and the status of the prince's identity in the eyes of the public was reduced one day, which he did not want to see, nearly three months of confined life, enough for him to come up with a lot of ways to break the situation, but he didn't dare to use it easily, until today's harem suddenly came to the will of the new queen, he felt that his opportunity had come.

Zhenguan fifteen years of the twentieth month, the emperor and the new queen in the gymnasium of Chang'an Academy inspected a day after returning to the Taiji Palace Ganlu Palace, with the emperor's consent, the new queen Wang Xiyue ordered, from next year, the six palaces doubled, palace maids at all levels, eunuchs from the original selection system to the employment system, the employment time is full, you can choose to renew the contract or leave the palace, and the salary is more than doubled on the original basis, instantly became a high-paying occupation in the Tang Dynasty.

After receiving the will, the palaces rushed to the Ganlu Hall to thank the decree, and the East Palace, which was also doubled, was of course no exception, Li Chengqian freshened up and dressed up, and went to the Ganlu Hall under the leadership of the forbidden army Longwei.

"The sons and daughters are sincere, and I have come to thank my father and the queen mother, and increase the grace of the sons and daughters in the palace." When Li Chengqian was still outside the gate of the Ganlu Palace, he gave a long bow to the ground and said.

"The Queen Mother?"

In the palace, the emperor and queen who had received a group of concubines and palace people were discussing some matters related to the reform of the harem system, and suddenly heard Li Chengqian's long exhalation, and they looked at each other in surprise and said in surprise.

"He is not tired of saying a few words against his will, for fear that he has come to beg you for mercy and show his loyalty." Li Shimin guessed Li Chengqian's intention in a moment, and looked at Wang Xiyue with a smile. "In this case, please ask Your Majesty to take advantage of the situation to lift the prince's grounding! After all, you are father and son, and if they don't get your forgiveness, the clouds of the death of Empress Changsun will not be dispersed for a day, and the concubines will not be able to pay back the favors owed to Lord Changsun. Wang Xiyue persuaded. Then declare him into the temple! Li Shimin thought for a moment, and then agreed, not because he forgave Li Chengqian, but to see what he had to say after he came in, in fact, it was not difficult for him Li Chengqian to deal with it, but it was difficult to deal with Li Tai. The sons and daughters greeted their fathers and queens, and wished their fathers and queens good health and good fortune. Li Chengqian made a rare big gift since his leg was crippled, and called Wang Xiyue as his mother very smoothly. Just looking at his difficult kneeling and staggering movements, Li Shimin's heart has softened half of what he had just done. "Well, sit down! How are you reflecting in the East Palace these days? Li Shimin pointed to a round stool next to the couch. These days, the sons of the Chang'an prison in the past few years of the forest and the careful review, only to know that they have done a lot of deficiencies, of course, the most improper disposal is the matter of the green sparrow, the son of the son here to the father of the guilt, the fault of the green sparrow, all rely on my big brother not to check, did not mention him in time, and then there is, the death of the queen mother, the son can not escape the blame, do not expect the father to forgive the son, only hope that the father can let the son in front of the queen mother's tomb to guard the tomb, has done his filial piety, as for the Guocen to take over, but also ask the father to choose another person, The child's talent is not obvious, his leg is disabled, and he has made such a big mistake, he is no longer suitable for the prince, he only wants to be able to guard the tomb of his mother for the rest of his life, and he has atoned for the sins in his heart. “

Li Chengqian's first two sentences were quite calm, but the more he said it, the more excited he became, until he said that tears were raining down, he got up from the round stool and knelt down, lowered his head and touched the ground, and when he didn't get up again, Li Shimin's heart was tumbling, and he almost felt sympathy for him. "Then don't you feel that you have mishandled the matter of the Western Regions?"

Knowing the meaning in Li Shimin's eyes, Wang Xiyue rushed to Li Chengqian, who was kneeling on the ground. "The matter of the Western Regions, it happened suddenly, if you want to say wrong, you can only say that Erchen is not mature in terms of employing people, and he should not appoint the eldest grandson Chong, who does not know the soldiers, as for the back, when there are rebels threatening the Tang Guocen, Erchen feels that his disposal is not wrong, everything must make way for the Tang Guocen, and the Erchen can only bear the name of unfilial piety for the sake of Guocen." Li Chengqian raised his head slightly and replied to Wang Xiyue, but he didn't get up, still waiting for Li Shimin to make a statement. "Get up and go back to the palace! Later I will have a decree to your palace. After being silent for a long time, Li Shimin finally said.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on the surface, got up from the ground in a more difficult posture, and after retreating, he walked out of the Ganlu Hall with a shake. "I'm a son, and I'm really good at acting." Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian's back as he withdrew from the Ganlu Palace, shook his head and said with a wry smile. "What, does Your Majesty think that the prince is all playing in front of you?" Wang Xiyue felt that she was about to be moved by Li Chengqian's words and tragic appearance, giving up her position as the crown prince and guarding her mother's tomb for the rest of her life, how much courage does it take to make such a big decision! "Of course, what should be recognized and what should not be recognized, he is very clear, where is this attitude of resisting the guilt, giving up the position of the prince, and guarding the tomb for the rest of his life, just saying it to soften my heart, and also, don't you know the ability of God to make prosthetics, will make him unable to kneel, unable to get up, and swaying when he walks?"

Li Shimin casually pointed out a few points, Wang Xiyue thought about it carefully, it was really so, I really admired this wonderful father and son, family affection probably only accounted for a small proportion of them! "Then what does Your Majesty plan to do with the crown prince? Continued grounding? "Of course not, there is little point in continuing to ban, before Xiaozhi has fully grown up, his title as the crown prince will continue to be topped, isn't this about to be the Spring Festival, and your concert, I don't want a trace of reverie, I will talk to Wuji, let him know, I gave you face before I released him, and you have all the thoughts of returning his favor, but he still has to guard the mausoleum, I have no plan to leave Chang'an in the past few years, so let him stay in front of the worry-free mausoleum!"

Li Shimin stroked his forehead with one hand and kneaded it, Wang Xiyue helped him press his temples knowingly, his real headache was how to deal with Li Tai, the king of Wei, who was his favorite son, but he really led the army to rebel, and there was a suspicion of collusion with foreigners, so he easily let him go, not only could he not give an explanation to the ministers of the DPRK and China, but he couldn't get over it himself, which was really a headache.
