Li Shimin's face suddenly became bitter.

"How can an emperor go out to escape the summer and leave the queen alone in the palace? That can't be talked about by the world? ”

He said helplessly,

"Guanyin, you just agree, the children want to go too."

The three children came up and rubbed against their mother's thighs.

"Queen Mother, go, go......"

"Queen Mother, we want to go, you agreed......"

"Please......"

“……”

Li Shimin's persuasion, coupled with the children's taking turns to be coquettish, made the eldest grandson Wuji's firm will loosen a little.

"Huh...... Woohoo. ”

Li Shimin grinned and gave Xu Fenglei a look-

It's almost a kick in the door, you kid work hard!

Xu Fenglei understood and said with a smile:

"Going to the palace to escape the summer, it is indeed a great teacher, and there is a suspicion of luxury and pleasure, Your Majesty is afraid that he will be advised by the officials, and he will be scolded by Wei Zheng and them."

Li Shimin's face stiffened.

The eldest grandson Wujian nodded, and said:

"Hear Ming right."

"It's not that I don't want to go, I really don't want Your Majesty's reputation to be damaged, you are a Ming Jun......"

"If someone compares you and Yang Guang together because of this pleasure...... Can you still escape the heat with peace of mind? ”

Li Shimin's face was a little ugly.

He usually looks down on Yang Guang the most, and he has a small meeting with important ministers when he has nothing to do on weekdays, criticizes Yang Guang's mistakes, and takes him as a warning.

Truth be told, if someone called him a faint king, he probably wouldn't be angry; But if someone says that he is like Yang Guang and does the things of Emperor Yang of Sui, he will definitely be so angry that he will break through the defense and jump up and down......

Therefore, the words of the eldest grandson Wujian can be regarded as suddenly extinguishing his interest in going out of the palace to escape the summer......

"So let's say so...... Let's stay in the palace. ”

Li Shimin glanced at Xu Fenglei, and said in a weird way,

"People say how good it is to be an emperor, what is there to be an emperor? Not free at all! It's so difficult to get out, this huge Taiji Palace is just a prison! ”

"Alas!"

Li Er put his hands behind his back, shook his head greatly, and sighed heavily, as if being an emperor was the biggest chore in the world.

"Your Majesty is wrong."

Xu Fenglei smiled and groaned,

"The emperor is not unfree, and it is not so difficult to go out."

"But you are the king of a country, you have to pay attention to the right name in everything you do, and it is best to have a loud reason, so whoever you are, you will not say a word."

"I do have an idea......

Li Shimin glared at him.

"What's the beginning? I want to go out for the summer and take my family to have fun! This is the truest thought in my heart, and I can't find a loud reason for it! ”

He said angrily,

"If you have a fart, don't go around the corner here!"

That is, with Xu Fenglei, Li Er will say it so bluntly, and if he changes to another minister, he has to pretend to be reserved as an emperor when he says anything......

"Hahaha, isn't it a resounding name to take the family to escape the summer and have fun?"

Xu Fenglei laughed and said,

"Your Majesty, haven't you forgotten that the Emperor is also a member of your family?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.

"Hmm...... Well?! ”

He thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty can completely push the Emperor out of the country......

Xu Fenglei said hesitantly,

"Hongyi Palace, which is now Da'an Palace...... We've all lived there, and it's low-lying and boring. Presumably, the Emperor Taishang is also hot and irritable these days. ”

"You can go to the Emperor Taishang to propose, just say that you can't bear your father to endure the hot sun, and want to take him out to escape the summer, I think, the Emperor will gladly agree."

"In this way, Your Majesty can not only make the Emperor feel that you are very filial, but also stop the mouths of all the ministers and ministers, after all, you are not enjoying yourself, but accompanying the Emperor to spend the summer, this is filial piety! My Datang rules the world with loyalty and filial piety, and treats my father too much, who dares to say half a word? ”

"Whether it is a courtier or a common man, he will only praise you for your filial piety! The bigger your battle, the greater this filial piety, isn't it? ”

The voice fell, and no sound of approval was heard.

Li Shimin's face was filled with a hint of shame.

"Erfeng...... How long has it been since you visited your father? ”

The eldest grandson Wujian waved his hand to let the three children go out to play, and then stared at Li Shimin and said softly.

Li Shimin: "......"

"Xu ...... It's been a long time. ”

He was ashamed and said,

"I'm busy with government affairs, and I forget about ...... when I come and go"

"This ...... Ay! ”

Busy government affairs is not an excuse, after all, Hongyi Palace is just outside Taiji Palace, and walking is just a cup of tea.

But the last time he went to see Li Yuan was three or four months ago.

"You're unfilial!"

The eldest grandson sighed,

"Thanks to hearing that Ming mentioned it at this moment, my father is also a person in our family, and he is the most indispensable person!"

"Whether you really want to invite your father to escape the summer, or to enjoy yourself in the name of your father, this trip must be made."

She didn't want to travel tirelessly, so she moved everyone to escape the summer.

But Xu Fenglei mentioned Li Yuan and mentioned 'filial piety', so even if she didn't want to, she had to go!

As the empress, she must do her best to help the emperor manage her image, both externally and internally.

Not going to visit Li Yuan for a few months is already losing his duty as a son, and it is a great unfilial piety!

"Yes...... You're right. ”

Li Shimin obediently listened to the training and said ashamedly,

"No, I really shouldn't ......"

When he was thinking about going to escape the summer, the figure of his wife and children appeared in his head, and the name of the intimate minister appeared, but his father's appearance did not appear!

Thinking of this, this face is all hot.

"Let's go."

The eldest grandson Wujian put down his chopsticks, got up and said,

"We're going to visit my father now, sort out these dishes made by the children, and bring them with them for him to taste."

"Fortunately, I have always been very attentive to several concubines, and I give them some gifts during the New Year's holidays, and they all say that they are specially given by His Majesty, and I think they will also say something good for you, and my father will not blame you too much."

Xu Fenglei secretly gave a thumbs up.

She is worthy of being a virtuous queen! These things she did silently, I don't know how much help Li Er has given her invisibly!

"Good, good ......"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said,

"It's still Guanyin, you are thoughtful...... Let's go, we're going to visit our father now! ”

"Come on! Cook these dishes well, and bring a few cold melons...... Then go to my dormitory to pick up Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface", and go to Da'an Palace together! ”

The slave and maid answered, and went down to prepare, and the emperor and queen also got up and went out.

"Let's go too."

The eldest grandson Wujian glanced at him slightly and said casually.

"Huh? I ......"

Xu Fenglei was stunned and said,

"What am I going to do......"

Li Yuan is not my father, and it will not be my turn to be filial.

"My father loves to play cards, and you are the founder of chess and cards."

The eldest grandson beckoned,

"Let's get together at a table and play with my father...... Anyway, you are not allowed to win too much money. ”

Xu Fenglei: "...... Be. ”

……

To the north of Taiji Palace, Da'an Palace.

The terrain here is relatively low-lying, and in this hot summer, even if there is a cool breeze, it is not good to blow, and compared to the Taiji Palace, this place is more sultry.

Syllable!

"General!" Li Yuan was shirtless, and he didn't know what he was gnawing on in his mouth.

I saw him holding a chess piece in his hand, jumping off a horse to catch a general!

"Your Majesty, you are too powerful, the old slave admits defeat, the old slave admits defeat......"

The eunuch who was close to him bowed his hand again and again, complimentingly,

"Your chess skills are even better than they were back then! Even if you let the old slave have a cart and a horse, the old slave is not your opponent......"

Li Yuan twisted his beard.

"Playing chess with a stinky chess basket, the more you play, the more stinky it becomes!"

He rebuked,

"Didn't you go back and study more? Why is it still so weak? ”

"You are far worse than Xiao Yu and Pei Lian! You know? ”

The attendant wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"That's nature, that's nature...... Where can the old slave compare with Xiao Ge Lao and Pei Ge Lao? ”

He said helplessly,

"The old slave has been studying wholeheartedly, but he is really not smart, this chess is something that only a smart person can master, and the old slave is a stupid and stupid person......"

Li Yuan spit out a peach pit in his mouth.

"That's it, I won't embarrass you."

He reclined on the ground bored, and snorted coldly,

"Those old friends from the past are also coming less and less...... I can't find an opponent with the same chess strength, so I should find you to relieve my boredom. ”

"Fetch the ice! Fan the wind harder, you want to die of heat?! ”

Call! Call!

The two maidservants on his side were sweating profusely, but they didn't dare to be the slightest slack, and worked harder to fan the old lady.

The slave maid at the door also quickly took a bucket of ice and spread it around Li Yuan.

As soon as the ice cubes were spread, the temperature around them dropped slightly, but it also added a little bit of dampness, except for Li Yuan, everyone in the hall felt uncomfortable chest tightness.

"Emperor Taishang, why don't you go and invite a few elders?"

The attendant observed Li Yuan's expression and asked cautiously,

"It's more fun for you to play against them......"

Li Yuan waved his hand.

"Huh...... They're all busy people, what are they going to do here? ”

He scoffed,

"Those who are coming, uninvited; Those who don't want to come, why should they ask with a shy face? ”

"Even if it's his own son, he won't come to visit, let alone those so-called 'friends'?"

"Maybe one day I die in this Da'an Palace, it will attract attention......"

"Your Majesty said it was funny, it was funny...... "The attendant smiled awkwardly and went back to set up the chess pieces.

"Jokes?"

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows and said coldly,

"You think I'm joking?"

"Huh! I have seen clearly, there are no good people in this world, and there are no people worthy of friendship! ”

He looked up at the roof, and said lazily:

"Alive...... Boring. ”

"Row up a few more concubines tonight, you have to be tender, you have to be sassy enough! Don't want those old guys...... Also, the grapes are ready, and I want to bathe with them with the grapes! ”

“…… Yes, yes. The attendant nodded helplessly.

The old emperor was completely depressed, and complaints like this were frequent.

All he can do is do everything he wants, whether it's good wine or no one......

Perhaps, drunken life and dream death is what the Emperor Taishang wants, and it is also what His Majesty wants to see today.

I was thinking about which little girls to sleep with tonight, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has come to visit you!"

The messenger eunuch said excitedly.

Li Yuan craned his neck in an instant, and then slowly fell down again.

"What is he here for?"

Li Yuan said lightly,

"It's nothing more than to ask me if I'm okay again, you go and tell him that I'm fine, I'm good! Send him away! ”

With that, he rolled over and pointed the back of his head at the person.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I'm afraid it won't work......"

Messenger of the eunuch,

"Not only did His Majesty come alone, but also the Queen Mother, as well as His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and Princess Changle...... And Xu Guogong, they are all here......"

Crash.

Li Yuan got up suddenly.

"The queen and the children are here too?"

He was amazed,

"That's a bit ......"

"Let them all come in, I haven't seen my grandchildren for a long time, and I miss them."

"Yes." The messenger eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, look, didn't His Majesty and Niangniang come to see you?"

The attendant smiled and said,

"And the princes and princesses...... It's not a festival today, they're all here, which means that you are still remembered by Your Majesty and their mothers......"

Li Yuan pursed his lips.

"Maybe something came to mind about me, this bad old man......"

He pulled a handful of his hair and commanded,

"Come on, seeing that the grandchildren can't be sloppy, help me tidy up, and this hall will also tidy up."

"Yes." The attendant received the order, and immediately ordered the slaves and maids to move.

And Li Yuan also got up slowly and sat in front of the bronze mirror for a long time......

……

"Ouch...... It's so hot here. ”

Li Tai held a small pu fan and sighed as he shook it.

The little fat man was most afraid of heat, and he walked all the way from Taiji Palace to Da'an Palace, he was already panting, his face was full of red light, and his back was soaked with sweat.

"Didn't you live here when you were a kid? What to complain about. ”

Xu Fenglei knocked on his head and scolded with a smile,

"If you want to blame you, you're too fat! It's good to sweat when it's hot, and it can take away the fat from your body. ”

"If you continue to be so fat, I'm afraid that oil will flow in your veins, and your heart will not be able to stand it!"

Li Tai had a bitter face, so he could only increase the strength of the fan.

"It's hot, and there's not even a trace of ...... wind"

Li Shimin looked around and frowned,

"Father, the emperor is old, it must be even more unbearable, alas! I'm really unfilial...... I didn't even think about that! ”

"I have to change the residence of my father......"

The further he went, the more he blamed himself.

treats this one-of-a-kind, lonely father, but he doesn't care at all! Don't even ask about the cold or heat!

"It's not too late for you to realize your problems."

The eldest grandson said seriously,

"As for changing the place of residence, it is not necessary, every dog day in the future, you can ask your father to go to the palace with a suitable climate to escape the summer, so that you can also show your filial piety to the world."

Li Shimin nodded again and again.

"Yes, yes......"

He stroked his hand and said,

"That's as it should be!"

As the emperor and queen spoke, they had already entered the palace.
