Volume 2 The Imperial City Chapter 56 The Secret Meeting

"Master, is it convenient to talk?"

When the master was about to leave, he heard a transmission.

Taishi glanced at the four princes.

"Follow me."

When no one was paying attention, the Taishi and the four princes left the hall one after the other.

Inside the hall of the banquet.

The second prince and the third prince sat together, pushing the cup and changing the lamp.

"If you have any leisure, just continue to drink and have fun, and when you are tired, go back first."

"Congratulations to my father." "Congratulations to the emperor."

The crowd was in charge.

"Come, second brother."

The third prince gave the second prince a glass of wine.

"Third Brother Xie."

While the two were talking, Emperor Li left the palace.

The second prince glanced at the back of the departing and said:

"Third brother, what do you think about the matter of your father?"

The face of the three princes does not change.

"Second brother, the wall has ears, let's change places."

"Okay."

The second prince laughed and said:

"Haha, today I took this opportunity to have a few drinks with my third brother, which is quite enjoyable, let's get together again another day."

The third prince will also smile.

"Second brother, farewell."

Then, the two of them left in different directions.

In the main hall, the eldest prince is responsible for the final finishing work.

It's just that when everyone left, they all looked up and looked at it.

When everything was arranged, the eldest prince was the last to leave the main hall, and after leaving, the direction he went to was not his own palace, but went straight to the emperor's bedroom.

As a decent royal heir, the eldest prince does not need to socialize too much with others, he only needs to do his part.

The Emperor's Bedchamber.

"The Great Prince." The eunuch outside the palace stopped the eldest prince.

"Inform my father that my son has something important to discuss."

The eunuch turned and left, returning a moment later.

"The eldest prince, the emperor is invited."

The eldest prince walked into the dormitory.

"What's the matter?"

Emperor Li sat on a chair beside him, and behind him, two palace maids were serving him.

The eldest prince glanced up at the palace maid.

Emperor Li said: "You go first." ”

After the palace maid silently withdrew from the house.

"Now you can speak."

"Father. After the banquet, Erchen saw the Taishi and the fourth brother leave the hall one after another. And a moment later, the second and third brothers also left. ”

The eldest prince took a few steps closer, and his voice lowered a little.

"I'm afraid, they're plotting something."

Emperor Li casually fiddled with the cup in his hand.

"I see, is there anything else?"

The eldest prince hesitated for a moment, and continued to speak: "It is a matter of the safety of my father, and I ask my father to consider it carefully." ”

"I see, you go down first."

The eldest prince also knows that it is useless to talk more, as long as he shows his attitude and considers his father, he can do it.

"Yes, the retainers are retired."

The eldest prince bowed and left the house.

The emperor was the only one left in the house.

Emperor Li looked up at the moon outside the window, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Only he understands.

In the past ten years of painstaking cultivation, I have not been in vain.

Although the territory of the Li Dynasty is decreasing, his own cultivation has not decreased.

On the contrary, the departure of the Taishi has indeed benefited him more from the dragon vein and the luck.

In the past ten years, he has already prepared the materials for promotion, but his cultivation has not progressed.

Although in the duel with the ancestor of the Hua family, he fell into the root of his illness, but he also gained an understanding from it, and let himself have a little loosening of the bottleneck of no inch.

This is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

And now, the old people have gathered in the imperial city, and their sons are also a little uneasy.

Let's wait a while for a while, and wait for everything to come to the surface.

Li Di slowly returned to his bedside.

These commotions in the palace were just small fights for him, and they didn't affect him at all.

It's just that our Taishi, what do you think?

Who is the person of the great opportunity he spoke of yesterday?

······

The night was already late.

Under the silent moonlight.

In the palace, a pavilion is not very quiet.

The Taishi and the four princes were sitting inside.

"Taishi, isn't it safe here?"

"Don't worry, with me, no one in this palace can peep here."

Taishi made himself a pot of tea.

"Neither can the emperor."

"In that case, I'm relieved."

The fourth prince looked at the old man drinking tea in front of him.

"Master, my letter—what do you think about it?"

The Four Princes went straight to the point.

"Come, Fourth Prince, have a cup of tea, don't rush, take your time."

The fourth prince looked at the prince in front of him, who was calm and calm, and he was quite leisurely making tea, and he didn't know what to say.

Taishi looked at the appearance of the four princes and smiled.

"Fourth Prince, do you know how to make tea?"

"Hui Taishi, no."

"Then I'll teach you."

The master rinsed the teapot with hot water, including the spout and lid, and poured the teacup at the same time, and then drained the teapot and teacup; Side said:

"After the tea is brewed, you should not rush to drink it, but you should first look at the color and shape, then take the cup and smell the fragrance, and then sip the soup to enjoy the taste. When appreciating, the tea soup should flow from the tip of the tongue along the sides of the tongue to the root of the tongue, and then back to the tongue, and so on two or three times to leave a sweet aftertaste of the tea soup. ”

"Whether it's making tea or drinking tea, it's a university question."

Taishi put down the cup in his hand.

"That's the way of tea."

looked at the four princes in front of him.

"Do you understand?"

The four princes were silent for a long time, and after a while, they solemnly saluted the prince.

"Thank you, Master, I understand."

Taishi smiled with satisfaction.

"That's very good."

Then get up.

"You can help collect the tea set, I'll go first."

"The master takes his leave."

After the Taishi left, the four princes still stood in place for a long time, thinking about the meaning of what the Taishi said.

The palace of the second prince.

In the house carved by Danying, two princes sat on chairs.

"Second brother, fourth brother hasn't been very peaceful lately."

The third prince held the wine glass in his hand and continued: "A few days ago, there were some conflicts with my friend, and his bad habits have to be changed. ”

"I know."

The second prince sat opposite the third prince.

"He's really a little dishonest, and he should take care of it."

"What about that?" The second prince drank all the wine in front of him and poured a glass of wine for the third prince in front of him.

The third prince thanked him, and after thinking about it carefully, he spoke: "I think his attitude at the banquet today is a little abnormal, and he has never been so enthusiastic on weekdays. ”

"Well, I think so too, there must be a demon when things go wrong."

Suddenly, the second prince looked directly at the third prince and spread the word to the other party.

"What do you think of your father's illness?"

The third prince was silent on the surface, and he also transmitted the sound to the second prince.

"It's hard to say, although he takes medicine every day now, and he coughs from time to time, but except for the imperial doctor, no one knows his true situation."

······

After the banquet, between the various forces in the palace.

Undercurrents are surging.
