Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Eldest and the Fourth
This small figure is naturally none other than Xiao Zhengtai, who was punished by Li Shimin to think behind closed doors in the Lizheng Palace, Li Zhi, the king of Jin.
To tell the truth, although this kid is very skinny in front of the eldest grandson queen, he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Li Shimin, but he has become timid, not because of the difference between father and son, but that this little guy has always admired his father, and he will inevitably become a little restrained in front of the people he worships.
"Hmph, you still know that you came out to see me!" Seeing Li Zhi's timid little expression, Li Shimin snorted angrily, and immediately beckoned to him, saying, "Come here, let my father take a good look, did those dog slaves hurt you!" ”
Li Zhi lowered his head and moved towards Li Shimin step by step, looking at the aggrieved look as if he was reluctant.
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel funny when he looked at it, and after Li Zhi walked in, he stretched out his hand and hugged the little guy on his lap, gently rubbed his little face, and said with a smile: "You kid, aren't you quite able to toss at noon?" Why did you see your father, but he seemed restrained? ”
"Child, have you forgotten how the queen mother taught you?" At this time, Empress Changsun said to Li Zhi with a straight face.
Li Zhi suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Shimin with childish eyes, and said seriously: "Father, the childish slave knows that he is wrong, and he will never dare to look at his brother and laugh at his brother in the future!" ”
"Hahaha, you little guy knows how to judge the situation!" Li Shimin laughed out loud, teased Li Zhi for a while, and then put him on the ground from his lap, turned his head and said to Empress Changsun: "Guanyin, it's almost time, let's go to the Divine Dragon Palace, I believe that the character of that kid is already impatient!" ”
"In this way, when the concubine freshens up, I will go to the Divine Dragon Hall with His Majesty!" When Empress Changsun heard this, she immediately got up and said.
Li Shimin gently took the jade hand of Empress Changsun, and said with a gentle face: "Grooming and dressing up are all in front of outsiders, Yuanba is not an outsider, so why care about makeup?" ”
Two smears of red light flew on the pretty face of the eldest grandson, and she bowed her head slightly, but she didn't insist this time.
Li Shimin smiled slightly, and with his two hands he pulled the Empress Changsun and the King of Jin Li Zhi respectively, got on the dragon chariot that stopped outside the Lizheng Palace, and walked all the way to the Divine Dragon Palace.
……
On the road leading from the East Palace to the Shenlong Hall of the Taiji Palace, a young man who seemed to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, under the escort of four little eunuchs, walked unhurriedly.
Just from a distance, the young man's walking posture was a little strange, his body was lying together, and he was shaking when he walked, as if his legs and feet were inconvenient.
Along the way, occasionally encountered some palace maids or eunuchs who came in a hurry, and when they saw the young man, they immediately stopped in place, and then respectfully saluted the young man.
It's just that in the face of these eunuchs and palace maids, this young man is still as if he hasn't seen it, he still has a cold face, and he doesn't even bother to nod, looking like he is not allowed to enter.
And every time the young man led the four little eunuchs over, those who saluted showed a look of relief on their faces, and then like a rabbit father, they fled here like lightning, making people a little baffled.
Just when this young man had already walked into the Taiji Palace and rushed towards the Divine Dragon Palace, a voice that sounded extremely happy sounded: "Hahaha, eldest brother, I haven't seen each other for many days, but the younger brother misses it so much!" ”
Hearing this familiar voice, the cold expression on the young man's face twitched slightly, and he turned his head to look at the right rear, where a white-looking young fat man was walking quickly in the direction of the young man with two tall middle-aged eunuchs.
"Qingque, you're here too!" The young man looked at the young fat man lightly and said.
Blue Sparrow? Isn't it Li Shimin and the second son of Empress Changsun Yue Yue Li Tai, according to historical records, Li Tai is the fourth oldest among the princes, talented, intelligent, Li Shimin loves him very much, even the more favored Shu King Li Ke among these princes is not comparable to him, and he is also the biggest threat to the position of Li Chengqian's crown prince.
"Big brother, I heard that my father called all our brothers and sisters this time, and I don't know why!" Li Tai looked at the young man in front of him with a smile on his face, and the words in his mouth were kind.
Wait, Li Tai calls this young man the eldest brother, and the entire Tang Dynasty has this qualification, and only the crown prince Li Chengqian is the only one.
Legend has it that Li Chengqian was smart and cute when he was young, but when he was older, he was slightly poor at walking due to foot disease, which explains why he limped when he walked, and why those eunuchs and palace maids were so afraid of him.
"Don't you know if you go? It is estimated that there will be other brothers and sisters later, so don't be rude when the time comes! Li Chengqian glanced at Li Tai and said.
This is Li Chengqian's insinuation that Li Tai did not salute when he saw him, after all, the prince is the prince, even if he is a brother, he must salute, but this Li Tai is good, although what he said is good, but there is no actual action.
Li Tai naturally understood the meaning of Li Chengqian's words, but he still pretended not to hear it, and said: "Big brother said that he laughed, I wait for my brother, what is the etiquette or not the rudeness." My father has always taught us to love each other, and if we bow to each other, won't it seem that we are separated from our brothers? ”
According to historical records, Empress Changsun and her second son Li Tai are talented, intelligent, and even more 'favored kings', so if you just rely on what you say, the eight Li Chengqian are not the opponents of this white fat man.
Li Chengqian also understood this truth, but he snorted coldly, and simply buried his head in the front and ignored him.
Li Tai was also happy to be idle, and took the two eunuchs to talk and laugh along the way.
The sky gradually got dark, in fact, the distance from the main gate of Taiji Palace to the Shenlong Hall was not far, but it was only half a stick of incense, and Li Chengqian and Li Tai were followed by some young or juvenile little princesses and little princes.
I really have to praise the genes of the old Li family, these teenagers or young princesses and princes, not only are they wearing beautiful clothes, but they also look like porcelain dolls, all with thick eyebrows and big eyes, willow leaves and curved eyebrows, and white skin seems to be able to pinch out water.
This group of the most noble princes and princesses of the Tang Dynasty came to the front of the main hall of the Shenlong Hall with laughter and laughter along the way.
At this moment, outside the main hall of the Divine Dragon Palace, our Princess Gaoyang has been waiting there for a long time, and seeing the few people who are at the forefront of this group of people from a distance, Princess Gaoyang is a little stupid.
She stared at a pair of big watery eyes, and said secretly: "No, didn't I just call Qinghe, the young slave and the little son?" Why are they even here with the big brother! ”
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and her little face leaked an angry expression, and said, "Stinky Fourth Uncle, he must have secretly called the eldest brother them, no, I'll go find him!" ”
Thinking of this, Princess Gao Yang stomped her feet lightly, turned her head and ran towards the Divine Dragon Palace.
