Chapter 173: He's thin-skinned
(pink 270 plus)
I heard Binh Duong mention Gao Yang's matter. Li Shimin's face was a little helpless, and he sighed: "Zhaohua, you also know Gao Yang's temperament, for this matter, Wei Qing has nagged in my ear, I have already punished her heavily, so don't mention it again." β
He was quite pampered by Gao Yang, but she slapped Mr. in public, but he could not tolerate it, and many counselors and imperial historians came up to the book, and in a fit of anger, they locked her up in Nemota for three months, although it looked better under the will of the outside world, but for a noble princess, it was already a heavy punishment.
Seeing the faint tiredness between his eyebrows, Pingyang stopped Gao Yang's topic and said with concern: "Your Majesty, your face is not very good, have you asked the imperial doctor to see it?" β
He had never heard such a thing of concern, and he hadn't been full of energy to please him in the palace. But what can really make this high-ranking emperor feel warm, the person in front of him is one of them.
"It's okay, I recruited a few people from the military department last night to discuss the matter, and I will rest later." He reached out and picked up the strong tea on the table and took a sip, "You go on to say something else, I still don't often hear about the chaos in Chang'an City." β
It's not that he can't hear it, there are spies in the family of this high-ranking family, as a person who defeated the brother who seized power and ascended to the throne with his own ability, how could he lose eyeliner, but even if he is the emperor's spy, he will speak with three points of affection, plus there has been movement in the north recently, and some remnants of the Sui Dynasty have begun to emerge, and he focuses on political affairs, even if he hears it, he rarely pays attention to it.
After all, men and women are different, as a royal family, Pingyang is closer to the people, although the relationship between the two brothers and sisters has been separated by some things, but in the end they are the same mother, and they have always been close, since she proposed it now, Li Shimin will not turn a deaf ear.
Pingyang sat up straight, looked out of the door, his expression was a little hesitant, Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Haha." When did you become so cautious, no one in my palace dared to listen to the corner, don't worry. β
Pingyang's face turned pale, and he looked at his slightly vicissitudes but well-maintained face for a while, before he said, "Big brother," the title changed, Li Shimin put down the tea cup in his hand and put on a listening appearance.
"What do you think, if you want to pass on the position to Cheng Qian, don't give Li Ke and Li Tai hope, what are those children fighting for now, gangs and factions everywhere, even the national eunuchs are engaged in a miasma, if you don't care anymore, let them reach out to the court, won't it be even more chaotic in the future?"
Li Shimin always listened to her accusatory words with a calm face, and only when she asked a question did he whisper: "Third sister, I have my own measure." β
Got the answer that wasn't a reply at all, and Pingyang seemed to think of something. After his face changed back and forth, he clenched his fists on his knees, lowered his head and whispered: "Big brother, what you said is really just like what my father said back then." β
A crack flashed in Li Shimin's calm eyes, but he didn't answer, Pingyang gritted his teeth, and said: "Sooner or later, Li Tai and Li Ke will become the next second brother." β
"Smack!" With a bang, Li Shimin slapped his palm on the table and said in a deep voice: "Don't mention him to me!" β
Long Yan was angry, and the majesty that made people tremble was released, Pingyang's face was a little pale, but he still refused to retreat and said: "What I said is the truth, how many people were harmed because of the vague state of my father back then, and you are also the victim of it, eldest brother, why do you still want to put it on the children, aren't you afraid of the repetition of the events of the year?" β
"Zhaohua, you are a little confused today, I don't care about you, you go back, you will be sober another day, and come to me again." Li Shimin's momentum suddenly retracted, his expression returned to calm, and after steadily holding the tea cup on the table with one hand and sending it to his lips, he took a sip, looked at Pingyang, whose body was trembling a little with anger, and said loudly: "Come on, the third princess is tired." Send her home. β
After a while, he walked into the two palace ladies with small steps from outside the door, and after Pingyang raised his head and glanced at the tall person again, he stiffened his face, got up and picked up the long skirt, and strode out of the main hall of the Liangyi Hall under the pursuit of the palace of Gong E.
In the huge palace, only the ochre-yellow figure remained, and he slowly leaned back on his soft back, and whispered, "Third sister, you don't understand... I don't understand..."
Not long after Princess Pingyang left, a eunuch who looked like a chief steward bowed down and walked to the entrance of the palace and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yang is waiting outside." β
Li Shimin sat up straight, hiding a little tiredness on his face, "Pass her in." β
After a while, Concubine Yang, who was dressed in a beautiful dress and makeup, walked in with the support of the two palace laves, retreated from the two palace laves, and bowed to Yingying.
A woman who is already in her thirties, but she looks like she is twenty-four or five, and only when she laughs, does she have some fine lines at the corners of her eyes, "Your Majesty is so complex." The concubine is uninvited, but you don't like it. β
This brought some coquettish words, spit out from the mouth of this concubine who was not too young, but it did not make people feel abrupt, Li Shimin shook his head lightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Come and sit beside me." β
Concubine Yang smiled even more at the corner of her eyes, although she was plump, she walked to him with a light step and sat down closely.
Seeing this scene, Gong E and the eunuch both retreated and disappeared with great eyes, an emperor and a concubine were next to each other, and Concubine Yang said some pleasing little things in her mouth. From time to time, I peeked at Li Shimin's face, and saw that he gradually smiled, so he said:
"Your Majesty, the concubine has something I want to discuss with you."
Li Shimin looked at it from his face, and his mood was coaxed by her to look good, "I know what you came to me for, say it." β
Concubine Yang carefully worded her words, and her words were full of concern, "Yesterday, the concubine was talking to her sister, and I heard that His Royal Highness King Wei was sick, but does Your Majesty know?" β
Seeing that she didn't get to the point, Li Shimin was not annoyed, but replied: "Well, I have been seen by the imperial doctor, it doesn't matter, it's just that I am contaminated with the cold." β
Concubine Yang sighed and covered her chest with one hand, "That's good," and then changed the topic, "His Royal Highness King Wei was in good health, but he was sick at this age, and the concubines thought that there were not enough people to serve in the palace, you see that Ke'er and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have more or less concubines by their side, but now there are no half of them in the palace of the four princes." β
"What do you mean?"
Concubine Yang saw that there was no difference on his face, but when she saw it with a faint and indifferent look in his smiling eyes, she was still a little weak-hearted, but after she had been with him for nearly twenty years, she would not dare to open her mouth because of this.
"According to the concubines, Your Majesty should refer to a few young ladies and His Royal Highness the King of Wei, on the one hand, they can serve closely, and on the other hand, they also make the Wei Palace's mansion less deserted, the concubines heard that His Royal Highness has some young ladies who appreciate it."
Li Shimin leaned sideways against the backrest, looking at Concubine Yang's delicate white face. There was some interest on his face, "Which lady did you say he liked?" β
Hearing him follow his words and ask, Concubine Yang's eyes flashed with joy, and she didn't notice the coldness behind the smile on that majestic face.
She told the two or three families that had been prepared in advance, looked up and smiled: "Although this portal is not worthy of being a main room, it is a side room. β
"These are all his shots? I haven't heard of it. β
"His Royal Highness Xu is thin-skinned and unwilling to take the initiative to ask you for advice." Concubine Yang was still smiling.
Li Shimin's face suddenly turned pale and his tone became heavier, "He is thin-skinned!" If he was thin-skinned, how could he refute the marriage I pointed out to him at the family banquet that day! β
Concubine Yang is a woman in this deep palace after all, seeing that he was angry, she lost her coquettishness just now, moved to the side, and whispered: "Your Majesty is angry, and the concubine is clumsy." β
Li Shimin's face was still ugly, but he stretched out his hand to help her arm, "Aifei, I'm not angry with you, but when I think of someone who doesn't know what to do, I get angry." β
Listening to his tone, it seemed that he was dissatisfied with Li Tai's behavior that time, and Concubine Yang, who hung her head, had a relaxed look on her face, but she raised her head and persuaded softly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is just confused for a while, those two young ladies are personally selected by His Majesty, and they naturally have both talents and colors, and he is also someone in his heart, so he will refute your good intentionsββ"
"Okay," Li Shimin interrupted her loudly, "Don't talk about him, it will make me upset when I think about it, it's a weird thing, the bigger it is, the more worry-free it is, you don't care about him, wait for him to really like it, let him mention it in person." β
Concubine Yang's face was full of obedience, even if she was unwilling in her heart, she didn't dare to mention it, but softly walked around behind him and gently loosened her shoulders for him.

Zhaohua Mansion in Chang'an City
Pingyang rode back to his house in a carriage with a tense face all the way, and there were four guards with spears guarding outside Zhaohua Mansion.
She waved them to get up, walked into the front yard with slightly heavier steps, and immediately had maids on both sides to greet them, and when they approached the flower hall, Pingyang took off all kinds of jewelry from the top of his head one by one and threw them to the maids behind him.
"Boil water, this palace should be bathed."
She leaned down on the pear blossom wood chaise longue in the small hall, pressed one hand to her eyebrows, and the attendants saw that she was in a bad mood, and stood quietly aside.
At this moment, the housekeeper of the house walked to the door and said softly: "Princess, the master of the horse asks to see you." β
It is a well-known thing that Princess Pingyang and the horse Chai Shao do not agree, and the two of them do not live in the same place, the princess's house is the princess's house, and the Chai house is his Chai house.
Pingyang, who was already in a bad mood, said coldly: "Let him wait, Bengong will take a bath later, and see him when he wakes up." β
Although the housekeeper's face was a little embarrassed, she still obeyed the order and was ready to return, and as soon as she turned around, she saw a figure and her staggered into the house, and before she could stop it, she heard humanitarian:
"It's tomorrow when you wake up, what's the matter, who provoked you again?"
