Out of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, it was indeed late.

Now that his identity has been revealed, Li Hong simply did not hide it, and ordered the guards to prepare the carriage and prepare to rush back to the East Palace with Pei.

"Wanying, are you tired today?"

In the wide carriage, Li Hong squeezed Pei's little hand and asked softly.

"Don't be tired, the concubine is happy!"

Pei Shi gently leaned his head into Li Hong's arms, and his voice was as gentle as ever.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Hong still spoke.

"What do you think of what happened in the ashram today?"

"Huh?"

The person in his arms raised his head and stared at Li Hong with his big eyes, with a confused expression.

"You!"

Li Hong patted the latter's delicate little head with a helpless expression.

When he was talking to Xuanzang today, Li Hong found that this little girl looked absent-minded.

It was as if Li Hong asked her to stay just to be angry.

After a pause, Li Hong said softly.

"You should pay more attention to the affairs of the government in the future, and you should not be as careless as before."

Unlike Empress Wu, Pei's personality is docile and virtuous, although he is smart and clever, but he doesn't care about the affairs of the court at all.

Li Hong didn't feel anything wrong before, but today's Xuanzang's actions made Li Hong notice that Pei also needs to protect himself.

He can't be by her side all the time, just for the sake of the East Palace, and the Pei family has to learn more or less these things.

What's more, these days, this little girl is thinking crankily every day, so she might as well have something to do, so as to soothe her mood.

Of course. Li Hong did not intend for Pei to grow into a character like Empress Wu, who was a special case that could not be replicated. She has endured too much suffering, which has created her current heart and means.

Pei's is different. She has a pure mind, although her childhood was not good, but as a husband and wife. With the pearl in the palm of your hand, you will naturally not be wronged too much, so it is still okay to learn from the eldest grandson queen.

"Oh."

Pei's has a good advantage that she listens to what Li Hong says.

This made Li Hong happy in his heart and a little headache at the same time, because in this way, this little girl's own mind would be buried in her heart and she would unconditionally accommodate Li Hong.

This made Li Hong feel relieved and distressed.

I had to make up my mind that I would never let Pei's family be hurt in the slightest in the future.

There was nothing to say all the way, and it was already evening when Li Hong took people back to the East Palace.

But what Li Hong didn't expect was this. The East Palace is lively and tight at the moment.

The chief butler Wang Fusheng was waiting in front of the door of the East Palace, and when he saw Li Hong coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in Li Hong's ear.

"Your Royal Highness, Gonggong Wu, Lord Dai, the right servant of Shangshu, Lord Zhang of Dali Temple, and Lord Cheng Di of Dali Temple have been waiting in the front hall for a long time."

Li Hong's heart sank slightly, and his brows furrowed.

Could it be that something big is happening? How to wear it to virtue. Zhang Wenqian is here......

"Why didn't you inform Lone earlier?"

Li Hong's voice was slightly displeased.

The reason why he left Wang Fusheng in the East Palace today was that he was afraid of any emergencies, and now that Dai Zhide and others are here, not to mention, even Wu Liangfu has also arrived in the East Palace. But he didn't get the news, so how could he not be angry!

"Your Highness, after a few adults arrived at the East Palace. The slave and maid sent someone to inform His Highness, but Master Dai said that the matter was not urgent. You can inform Your Highness later, and besides, the slave and maid are very happy when they see Lord Dai's expression. It's not a bad thing to think about! didn't disturb His Royal Highness and Niangniang's Yaxing......"

Wang Fusheng explained with some uneasiness.

This was the first time he had made his own claims, and he was inevitably terrified.

"Don't take it as an example!"

Li Hong's face softened a little, and said lightly, anyway, he took Pei's hand and was about to enter the hall.

"Your Highness, the concubine should go back to the inner palace first......"

Unexpectedly, Pei Shi said with some hesitation.

"Huh?"

Li Hong snorted softly, and the hand holding Pei's was a little tighter.

"Forgot what I just said to you? You need to be concerned about these things! ”

"Your Highness......"

Pei's face was still embarrassed, which made Li Hong's heart soften, was it a little inappropriate to let her contact these things so suddenly?

However, Wang Fusheng's eyes were sharp, and he figured out the situation in a moment, and said to Li Hong calmly.

"Your Royal Highness, now that several adults are here, do you see if it is inappropriate to take your mother with you, after all, Lord Dai ......"

Li Hong suddenly looked at Wang Fusheng's eyes with a little more approval.

This point is indeed his negligence, and now among the few people in the front hall, Dai Zhide is the vanguard against the Wu family, and the eldest is a pure Confucian disciple, and he is very disgusted with the heroine's court.

If you directly take Pei Shi into the discussion openly, I am afraid that there will be more unnecessary turmoil.

"Your Highness, why don't you quietly add a screen at the entrance of the apse, so that the mother can wait in the back?"

Seeing that Li Hong's movements stopped all of a sudden, Wang Fusheng was overjoyed and continued.

"Well, just do as you say! Wanying, you go back to the apse first! ”

Li Hong nodded approvingly at Wang Fusheng.

In this way, it not only allows Pei's to participate in the deliberations, but also avoids unnecessary turmoil, and also allows Pei's to have a process of adaptation, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

But the scene seems a bit familiar......

Li Hong pondered for a moment and patted his head, isn't this exactly the trick that his father and the Empress Wu played back then? I didn't expect that one day he would do the same.

Seeing Pei's obedient nodding, Li Hong relieved himself.

Strode into the front hall.

"The old minister participates in His Highness!"

"The slave has seen His Highness!"

There is a distance from the front of the east palace to the front hall, and during this period of time, Wang Fusheng sent a small chamberlain to inform a few people in the front hall, and the prince has returned.

Inevitably, a few people were not well greeted and messed up the etiquette.

As soon as Li Hong entered the front hall, the few people who were waiting got up and saluted Li Hong.

"Hehe, I've kept you waiting, it's lonely, please forgive me!"

Li Hong smiled and apologized to the few people present.

With that, he strode towards the main seat of the front hall.

The few people present, especially Di Renjie, had the most acute feelings, because of his official position, he was also the closest to the door, and it was Di Renjie who first saw Li Hong's face a little unnatural.

After Li Hong sat upright, he said lightly.

"Everyone, please get up, it's a lonely rude today!"

Although everyone didn't notice it, Di Renjie's eyes were sharp, and he saw that there was an extra screen at the entrance of the apse, and there was a faint figure behind the screen, but the lights were dim, and everyone didn't care......

"Ahem, I've been waiting for a long time, I don't know what happened to Wu Daban coming over today? But there is a message from the father and the queen mother? ”

After everyone sat down, Li Hong asked Wu Liangfu with a smile.

ps: Ahem, ready to get back to business...... (To be continued.) )
