East Palace

It was night, the jade spring pool behind the Sogo Hall was full of smoke, steaming with steam, Manman white veil, and dense water droplets on the smooth jade wall.

In this empty bath, only a figure sat alone by the pool, and from the black hair that was winding and scattered behind his back, he could vaguely discern the strong and smooth musculoskeletal lines of the other party, and the broad shoulders and back, which made it clear that this was a man with a strong body.

Hot water with white smoke was gushing intermittently from the faucet in the east of the pool, and he sat quietly by the pool, motionless, as if he had fallen asleep with the heat.

However, he was not the only one in this bathroom, not far behind him, behind the jade screen blocking the door, there was a palace lady in a pink jacket and emerald skirt, poking out half of her head, looking at the man in the pool with some obsessive eyes.

She bit her lip, and the deliberately smeared rouge on her head suddenly turned a little red, as if she had made up her mind, she took the tea on the tray that had already become warm, stepped out of the screen, and walked towards the edge of the pool with vague steps, and at the same time softened her tone, and said with a shy face:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid has brought you tea."

The figure in the pool did not move, this Gong'e put the tea tray on the coffee table on the shore, poured a cup of tea slowly, and then lowered her head, pulled the tie on her chest with trembling fingers, and twisted her waist, the long skirt fell off her body to the ground, leaving only a thin pink jacket on her upper body, which could not cover the two pink legs with soft skin and trembling slightly.

She bent down to pick up the teacup, twisted and moved to the edge of the pool, in fact, it was only two or three steps away, as soon as she raised her foot, she heard a careless command, the man who seemed to be sleeping by the pool, obviously awake.

"Get out."

Hearing the sound, Gong E, whose clothes had been half-faded, retreated, but it was rare to have such an opportunity, and if she missed it again, she didn't know when to wait, so she was cross-hearted, regardless of the retreat, raised her legs forward, because of nervousness, she didn't look at the road, just happened to step on a piece of pancreas that was placed on the edge of the pool at random, the soles of her feet slipped, and her body leaned forward suddenly, she screamed in fear, and she swept past the side of the man by the pool, and stumbled into the pool.

"Yikes!"

"Poof!"

Such a big person fell into the water, and a big splash exploded in the pool, and the man who didn't expect this scene was full of heads, but fortunately, he kept his eyes closed and recuperated, so he didn't get splashed with hot water.

This is not the end, the Gong E who lost her foot in the water fluttered in the water, panicked, she was struggling, regardless of reaching out to hug the nearby man and refusing to let go, her body was already soaked, unable to stop the snow white, a pair of jade arms hung on the man's strong shoulders, if it weren't for the fact that Gong E, who had choked a few mouthfuls of water, had a crooked face like a duck falling into the water, this scene was fragrant and gorgeous.

"Looks like I didn't come back at the right time."

Yi Yu rushed back from outside the palace, didn't have time to change her clothes, so she hurried to Yuquan Pool to discuss things, as soon as she entered the bathroom, she saw such a hot scene, she was originally heavy-hearted, and when she saw the bath, a palace maid who was almost undressed fell into the arms of Li Tai, who was exposed in the spring, and was immediately angry.

Hearing this ridicule, Li Taifang recovered from this accident, turned sideways, and revealed a handsome face that was wet and embarrassed, but did not hide his handsome face, except for the short beard on his lips, which was a little less beautiful man's demeanor, and looked more stable and mature, time did not seem to have done much on the face of this man who was nearly thirty years old.

"Since Your Highness is having fun, then go on, I'll go out and wait first."

After that, Yi Yu no longer looked at the scene in the pool that disturbed her, shook her long sleeves, turned her head and disappeared behind the screen.

This is actually not the first time that Yi Yu has encountered such a scene, since they moved into the East Palace to live, there are always three or two accidents every month, those women are as pervasive as ants, making people unguardable.

Seeing this scene, Li Tai was not much better, so he raised his hand and stunned the palace e, who was choking and coughing, pulled her aside, got up from the water, grabbed the long shirt on the soft couch by the pool, and walked out calmly while putting it on his body.

After the Sogo Palace, when Li Tai found the jade in the pavilion by the Taixi Lake, she was sitting alone in the pavilion drinking, and there was no one around her, and the octagonal pavilion hung with a dim lantern.

It was already cold in the September evening, Li Tai walked into the pavilion, a gust of wind blew, brushed the hair of her sideburns, scratched her soft cheeks, she closed her eyes, and a faint sigh sounded in the pavilion.

"It's windy, let's go back." He took a step sideways, just in the right direction for her to block out the direction of the wind.

Yi Yu held the wine glass, and pointed to the opposite side of the stone table with his index finger, "Sit with me." ”

Li Tai hesitated, did not go around to sit down opposite her, but sat next to her, took the wine jug, poured himself a glass of wine, held it in his hand, and watched her drink one cup after another, but he didn't drink himself.

After three glasses in a row, Yiyu went to get the wine jug again, but was stopped by Li Tai halfway, the wine glass was taken away by him, and his hand was held by him, she tilted her head sideways, looked at the white moon in the sky, and listened to him:

"I'm so tired today, and I have something to think about quietly, so I didn't notice that someone broke into the bathroom."

Listening to his patient explanation, Yi Yu turned around, smiled faintly at him, and said, "Needless to say, I know." ”

Not liking to see her forced smile, Li Tai squeezed her palm, "You're angry." ”

"It's not because of you," Yi Yu struggled with his hand, but he grabbed it tighter, she looked away, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm really angry, mostly because of my second brother... A small half is because of you. ”

Although she saw it in the bathroom just now, she knew that it was not Li Tai who took the initiative to commit the crime when she thought about it with her fingernails, but in the end, the two people were hugging each other unclothed, how could she laugh it.

I have seen a lot of such things, and it is reasonable to say that she should be numb, but every time she sees those women in the palace who are not willing to die like bees sticking to Li Tai, scrambling to climb his bed, she can't stop it, her heart is like pouring a five-flavor bottle, sour and bitter.

But this is not Li Tai's fault, he has been able to clean herself for her all these years, I am afraid that it will be regarded as a fantasy when he says it, if he can do this, what can she ask him again, what can she blame him?

Li Tai also knew that continuing to mention the incident just now would make her even more sad, so he cleverly changed the topic:

"Why did you leave the palace in a hurry?"

Yi Yu said: "My second brother provoked an aunt of the third son of the eldest grandson's family, and beat someone in the restaurant yesterday. ”

Li Taidao: "Have you been to the eldest grandson's house?" ”

"I came back from there, but I didn't see Lord Changsun," Yi Yu freed up one of his free hands, grabbed the wine glass that Li Tai took and played with it in his hand, "Do you remember that daughter of Song Enxiao in Yangzhou, didn't I see her in the palace Yan Xuan four years ago, I was afraid that she would come to provoke my second brother again, or later she was pointed out to the eldest grandson's family as a concubine, I was relieved, how could I think that after all these years, she actually came out again, and made such a big mess." ”

Hearing this, Li Tai didn't think it was a big deal, so he said:

"This matter is a shame hinder, the eldest grandson Wuji will suppress it by himself, if you are afraid that he will embarrass Lu Jun, I will talk to him tomorrow."

"If it's so simple, what else am I worried about," Yi Yu shook her head, and said the farce she saw on the street in front of the eldest grandson's house:

"Now that the Song family is pregnant, and somehow the eldest grandson has decided that she had an affair with my second brother, and everyone on the street has seen it, and those who have a heart will go to investigate, and as soon as the eldest grandson rushes to my house in the morning to make trouble, there will be rumors pouring out, so that it is not something that can be done in private."

She said in annoyance:

"Our Lu family originally had a grudge with the eldest grandson's family, when the eldest grandson was killed, our family was almost wiped out by the eldest grandson's family, and then I was assigned to marry you, the situation is better, now this matter is troublesome, the eldest grandson Wuji is not a person who is willing to suffer, on the surface, this is the old grudge between our Lu family and his eldest grandson's family, but in fact, there is a relationship between you, there are a lot of things in between, I am afraid that the hidden dangers are getting deeper and deeper, in the future..."

The eldest grandson's family is a big family, it is impossible not to think about the future, the eldest grandson is a relative of the late queen, and Li Tai, the concubine, is not tied at all, the emperor set up Li Tai as the prince, how can the eldest grandson Wuji not be taboo Li Tai will cut them after he ascends the throne, just say that Li Tai does not have this mind, and he doesn't even believe in the jade, let alone the eldest grandson Wuji, who is the head of the family, to consider the descendants of his children.

Li Chengqian is dead, but in this harem, there is still a Li Zhi, who is far away in Anzhou and can't bear it, and Li Ke, the king of Wu who is eyeing him, as long as Li Tai does not ascend the throne one day, other heirs will have the possibility of turning the tables one day, no matter who it is, with the help of the eldest grandson Wuji, it will become a big trouble for Li Tai.

Song Xinci's matter seems to be small, but it may become a fuse, completely igniting the heart of the eldest grandson Wuji's distress and making him fall to other camps.

"Even without these, the eldest grandson Wuji has never been on my ship," Li Tai clenched Yu Yu's hand and affirmed his position, "Not before, not now, and not in the future." ”

His eyes were gloomy for a moment, remembering an incident many years ago, before that incident, he had thought about winning over the eldest grandson Wuji, but after that incident, he never had such thoughts.

Another gust of wind blew, and Yu Yu was a little cold, so he leaned over his shoulder, took a breath of the cool air of the night, and hesitated:

"I think that Song's incident is not accidental, she has also been entangled with my second brother for three or four years, and if she wants to be discovered, she should have been discovered a long time ago, but why not sooner or later, at this time, it will get bigger and bigger? Could it be that someone has spotted the interests and deliberately provoked it, trying to use this matter to plot something? ”

As soon as her words fell, she noticed that Li Tai's back was straight, she sat up straight, looked up at him, and looked up at him with inquiry in her eyes:

"What's the matter, did you think of something?"

Li Tai was silent for a long time, and when his lips were about to be pursed into a straight line, he said quietly:

"This morning, my father mentioned that he wanted to go to Goguryeo in person, but he was dissuaded by the ministers, so he didn't make a decision, if I guessed correctly, tomorrow morning, someone will definitely mention that I want to go on the expedition on behalf of my father*
