Han Rui deeply thinks that there is a strong emperor father, and Li Chengqian is destined to be just a foil, at least before he ascends the throne, he will not have much influence, after all, the aftermath of Xuanwumen is still there, although everyone is very tacit, whether it is before or after, they will never mention it, but it does not mean that they have no ideas.

It's also a tragedy, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, it seems that most of the princes who had been princes had no good results, not to mention far away, Yang Yong and Li Jiancheng as examples, if there is no accident, Li Chengqian in front of him is also like this, Han Rui's eyes flickered, he looked at Li Chengqian, who had a friendly attitude, naturally had some thoughts in his mind, not knowing blessings and misfortunes.

"It's better to guess it yourself, or I don't know what to tell you." Li Chengqian smiled and said: "The palace has already decided, after five days, I will hold a banquet for the concubine, and I will give you an invitation when I turn back, I must come." ”

"Nature." Han Rui agreed with a smile.

"I'll be honest with you, no jokes." Li Chengqian said softly: "I'm about to get married, I don't know what's going on, I seem to be a little nervous and uneasy in my heart." ”

Hehe, Han Rui smiled lightly and comforted: "This is pre-marital fear...... Well, let me change the explanation, after getting married, you will say goodbye to the youth era, well, at least in the eyes of the world, you are a man, a husband, in the process of transformation, you feel an invisible pressure. ”

Han Rui's explanation made Li Chengqian half-understood, but when he heard that Han Rui himself also felt this way, this was a normal phenomenon, he immediately put his mind at ease, smiled shyly for a moment, his eyebrows suddenly locked, and asked quietly: "Are you really going to marry Zheng Renji's daughter?" ”

"Well, yes, what, you've heard about it too? Still, there shouldn't be a problem with that. Han Rui said with a smile, his appearance was very relaxed, but he quietly tightened the string in his heart, after all, Li Chengqian is the crown prince, and he lives in the East Palace, what is going on in the palace, he should have heard something, so cautious, did he hear any bad news.

"Under normal circumstances, there is no problem." Li Chengqian said: "However, who can guess the thoughts of my father, don't you be afraid of what happens." ”

Han Rui said casually: "There is nothing in case, Your Majesty is a rare Ming monarch in the ages, how can you worry about me as a grass boy for trivial things, you just like to think too much, speculate, and give the whole thing if you have nothing to do." ”

"It seems to make some sense." Li Chengqian agreed, but he still hesitated in his heart.

"It should make a lot of sense, and that's what it is." Han Rui's tone was very affirmative, and he whispered: "It's a big deal, seeing that the situation is not good, I will go to the East Palace for help, and you must not leave it alone when the time comes." ”

"Is this...... The East Palace is not a big place, I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate you. Li Chengqian's face was hesitant, and he suddenly smiled brightly: "However, I vaguely remember that there is still a shortage of horse washers, and you came to come in handy." ”

Han Rui was a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "I think I'm just a shallow learner, and I'm a white body, and I'll be the prince and wash the horse as soon as I go, and others won't have an opinion, right?" ”

Li Chengqian patiently explained: "It's washing (xi) horses, not washing (xian) horses." ”

"Hah, isn't that a word?" Han Rui's eyes widened, revealing an ignorant look.

"Well, it seems to be." Li Chengqian was stunned, as if he couldn't bear it, he laughed heartily, his voice revealed incomparable joy, at this time, he was finally sure that Han Rui's attitude had not changed.

At the right time, a palace maid came, knelt down in front of the palace, and reported respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the honor team of the concubine has come to Zhaoyang Gate." ”

Well, Li Chengqian responded, stood up, and said, "Let's go." ”

"I'm going? Is it appropriate? Han Ruichi asked, Li Shimin's woman is not so easy to meet, which is why he left just now.

"It's not appropriate, as long as you don't do anything indecent." Li Chengqian said casually: "Besides, after welcoming her in, according to the rules, we will also avoid it." ”

Han Rui knew it, and he also felt that there were many rules in the palace, and it was more appropriate to follow Li Chengqian, but he also had to be cautious, after all, he didn't know if some actions that he felt were okay would be disrespectful in the eyes of the court officials.

Went out with him, with a group of temple people and palace maids, came to the front of Zhaoyang Gate, there was a canopy jade chariot parked there, the snow-white veil shrouded the surroundings, blocking everyone's sight, but vaguely could detect a slender figure inside.

Li Chengqian strode up and saluted: "Concubine Wei." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

The palace maid next to the chariot hurriedly opened the curtain, and a stunning beauty walked out, dressed in a pale palace dress, with fine black long hair, on her shoulders, and a few hairpins adorned at random, slightly soft, her eyes were calm as waves, and her temperament was not as graceful and luxurious as the eldest grandson queen, but she had a peaceful and quiet demeanor.

is such a bearing, even if it can't make Li Chengqian feel good, it won't make him feel disgusted, and he said calmly: "Concubine Wei, the palace has almost been cleaned up, after you have seen it, how do you think it should be arranged, or what things should be added, just as you are told." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Hard Work." Wei Guifei smiled, a little more enthusiastic than Li Chengqian, but not as flattering as ordinary people.

"It is the honor of the sons and daughters to be able to do their filial piety for their father, and they are willing to do it, how can it be hard." Li Chengqian said, with a respectful and sincere attitude.

His eyes swept over the surprise, and sure enough, he changed a lot, thinking in his heart, but his performance was silent, he smiled lightly, and Wei Guifei said softly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such filial piety, Your Majesty must be extremely happy when he knows it." ”

"It's just the duty of being a son of man, and it doesn't deserve such praise from the concubine." Li Chengqian said indifferently.

After chatting a few more words, surrounded by many palace maids, Wei Guifei went leisurely, commanding the servants to move flowers to pots from time to time, and after decorating some details, the environment became more beautiful and harmonious.

At this time, Li Chengqian turned around and said, "Han Rui, let's go too, wait at the camp." ”

"Okay." Han Rui responded, walked out of Zhaoyang Gate, turned over his horse, galloped away, and soon came to the front of the camp, but found that Helan Chushi was also here, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Helan Chushi was the same, when he heard the movement, he looked curiously, and found that Han Rui, especially Li Chengqian, was also a little surprised on his face, and greeted him happily, "Brother Han, Li ......"

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

Beside him, a neat call interrupted Helan Chushi's call, and at the same time made him stunned, only to see Cheng Yanjin and others respectfully stepped forward to salute, Li Chengqian didn't dare to hold it up, jumped off the horse, and said hello in return.

Han Rui chuckled, and after getting off the horse, he walked quietly and silently, pulled Helan Chushi and walked away a few steps, and whispered, "Helan, why are you here?" ”

"Of course I'm looking for you." Helan Chushi replied instinctively, and then asked in a daze: "...... that Brother Li?"

"You still dare to call Brother Li." Han Rui said softly: "I happened to meet him on the road just now, and I knew his identity, heh, he was actually the crown prince of the dynasty, and he was almost stunned." ”

Holding his chest, Helan Chushi's face turned pale, and he thought it was true, and at the same time, he thought of the previous things, and his heart was uneasy.

Sensing it, Han Rui said with a smile: "Don't worry, the so-called ignorant is not guilty, how can he take it to heart, you can chat with him later, and you will know." ”

I felt a little at ease, but Helan Chushi was still a little in a trance, although he shouted every day that he wanted to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, see the emperor, and be a general, but really in front of Cheng Biting Jin and several generals, Helan Chushi felt that the pressure had doubled, and his mind was a little flustered.

Although he knew that the world was unpredictable, the speed of change was too fast, and Helan Chushi, unlike Han Rui, was mentally prepared, so he naturally felt a little like he was in a dream. At this moment, Li Chengqian walked over and said with a smile: "Brother Helan, there is a time when you are gone, I heard that you are injured, are you okay now?" ”

Feeling that his breath seemed to be suffocated, Helan Chushi gasped quietly, bowed down, and said respectfully: "The minister is fine, thank you for your concern." ”

Seeing Helan Chushi's restrained appearance, Li Chengqian's eyes flashed with a touch of disappointment, and suddenly saw Han Rui with a bright smile, and his heart was suddenly comforted, and he said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay to be alone in the East Palace, it's inconvenient to travel, and you didn't go to visit, you don't have to have resentment in your heart." ”

"How dare you." Helan Chushi hurriedly said, he naturally had some ideas before, but now he naturally has no idea, and seeing Li Chengqian so approachable, thinking of the old feelings, the good feeling in his heart naturally increased dramatically.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please sit in the tent for a while." Under the invitation of Cheng Yanjin and a few people, Li Chengqian did not refuse, and walked in happily, and Han Rui also entered.

After hesitating, Helan Chushi naturally knew that this was a rare opportunity, how could he miss it, and he had to follow him, but Hou Junji suddenly stopped, blocked in front of him, and asked lightly: "You saw the prince before?" ”

"There have been several encounters." Helan Chushi said, he didn't dare to hide it, and his attitude was very respectful.

"Well, it can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has a good impression of you." Hou Junji groaned and said indifferently: "How can you say that you have saved Tong'er, you can be regarded as the benefactor of the Hou family, you can go in your spare time, and the Hou family will be treated with hospitality." ”

Helan Chushi was pleasantly surprised, and agreed repeatedly, as if satisfied with his reaction, Hou Junji's face softened, and he mentioned intentionally or unintentionally: "The Helan family was also a famous family back then, but now it has declined, which is really regrettable, but the foundation is still there, and it may not be that there is no regrouping." ”

"The children of the Helan family will never forget the glory of the Helan family." Helan Chushi said solemnly, as if announcing his oath and ambition.

"Good." Hou Junji had a smile on his face, and said calmly: "Tong'er is sixteen this year and has not yet been married. ”

Only half a sentence was left, Hou Junji brushed his sleeves away, this hint was enough, Helan Chushi was ecstatic, and he couldn't beat his chest and feet to vent his feelings.

"Who is Tong'er?"
