In the Hanguang Palace, Li Shimin summoned the crown prince Li Chengqian.

"How are you preparing for the Qingyuan Poetry Meeting in three days?" Li Shimin was lying on the bed on his side, his voice was a little lazy, the bed curtain was pulled down, and he couldn't see his expression.

Li Chengqian had rare rules, knelt quietly beside the bed, and said seriously: "Everything is handled by my aunt." ”

After speaking, the young Li Chengqian looked back at Princess Danyang who came over with him.

"Brother Emperor, what is there to prepare for the little Qingyuan poem? There is a sister looking at it, and there is no problem. ”

"Danyang, you step back first."

"Yes, Brother Emperor."

Princess Danyang saluted and prepared to leave.

Li Chengqian quickly turned around when he heard this, grabbed Princess Danyang's hand with some reluctance, and whispered, "Auntie, don't go." ”

Princess Danyang smiled and shook off Li Chengqian's hand: "You are here to listen to the training, why do you want your aunt to accompany you to be trained?" ”

After speaking, he left the Hanguang Hall again.

Seeing Princess Danyang leaving, the bed curtain in front of him slowly opened, and Li Shimin sat up from the emperor in civilian clothes and stared at Li Chengqian seriously.

Seeing this look, Li Chengqian suddenly became nervous, straightened his body a little, looked at his father and asked in a low voice: "Father, what is the etiquette of the son?" Why...... See ......"

"Your etiquette has been much more regular lately than before.

"Huh......" Li Chengqian breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's all the credit of my aunt." ”

"Auntie...... Aunt...... Open your mouth, shut your aunt, why don't you see you so rare as your mother? ”

"......" Li Chengqian didn't know how to answer, what he wanted to say was that the queen mother ruled the six palaces, it was rare to see that his aunt was so idle and could accompany him in the East Palace every day.

Li Chengqian didn't speak, and Li Shimin said solemnly: "You have passed the coming-of-age ceremony. ”

"Yes."

"After the coming-of-age ceremony, you will be an upright prince. Do everything yourself, and stop relying on others, especially your aunt. Although this Qingyuan Poetry Festival is not a big event, it can also leave a certain prestige for you among the younger generation of literati, and in the long run, it will benefit you a lot. You should deal with it seriously and not be sloppy. ”

"Erchen knows."

"Know? What do you know? You don't know anything about the big and small affairs of the Qingyuan Poetry Club, and ask your aunt everywhere, this is the prince's business, not the princess's business. Do you understand? ”

"Erchen understands, it's just ...... It's just that Erchen has never done this, and he doesn't understand many things, and no one wants to ...... except for his aunt."

Li Chengqian said, and suddenly found that his father's expression was very bad when he said the word aunt again, so before he finished speaking, his voice stopped.

Li Shimin looked at his son, although he was young and young, he was much more dependent than children of the same age.

On weekdays, everyone who hears rumors is the good of the prince, how can anyone dare to say the bad of the prince?

But Li Shimin knew in his heart that his son still had many shortcomings, and he heard that this kid was obedient to Princess Danyang, and the entire East Palace was controlled by Princess Danyang, which was not a good thing.

If you want to change this status quo, you have to find a more courageous princess for the prince, and if another heroine enters the East Palace, she will be more restrained if she wants to come to her sister.

But who is the candidate for this crown princess is something that Li Shimin needs to think about seriously.

The candidate for the crown princess must be assertive and have a strong character, otherwise it will be difficult to confront Princess Danyang.

It's a bit of a hassle!

Li Shimin rubbed his forehead, and he couldn't think of a suitable candidate in his mind.

At this time, a eunuch outside spread the word that it was another report.

Li Shimin waved his hand and asked Li Chengqian to leave.

Li Chengqian was like being amnestied, and after kneeling down, he quickly slipped away, and immediately regained his lively temperament outside the Hanguang Palace, and took his aunt's hand back to the East Palace familiarly.

In the Hanguang Palace, Li Shimin looked at the eunuch who was passing the word and frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Li Shimin recognized that this was a person from Xingqing Palace.

"Back to the emperor, the emperor sent a message to ask the emperor to move to Xingqing Palace, saying that there was something important to discuss."

"Something to discuss?"

Li Shimin was slightly puzzled, his father had been quiet in Xingqing Palace for a long time, and he had never taken the initiative to do anything, and today he actually spread the word that there was something to discuss.

Li Shimin didn't think about it, and shouted outside the palace: "Drive Xingqing Palace." ”

……

At dusk, the emperor's travel procession stopped at the gate of Xingqing Palace.

Li Shimin hasn't been here for a while.

It's not that he doesn't want to come to see his father, it's just that there are too many cats in this Xingqing Palace, and the whole palace is filled with a strange smell, which makes Li Shimin dislike.

Coming today, the eunuch who was close to him brought a few sachets to Li Shimin, and when Li Shimin was about to enter Xingqing Palace, he gave them sachets and let him smell the sachets all the way in.

The palace maids and eunuchs of Xingqing Palace came to pick up the car at the door early, but after entering Xingqing Palace, Li Shimin felt a little different.

The smell of cats in the air was gone, but in exchange for a burst of bean aroma.

This smell smells comfortable, and he is a little anxious to leave the palace, Li Shimin hasn't eaten yet, and as soon as this smell comes out, Li Shimin swallows his saliva in an instant.

"This ...... What does it smell like? ”

A little palace maid was nodded by the emperor, and quickly got up to answer.

"Back to the emperor, this is a pot of fresh soy milk boiling."

"Soy milk?" Li Shimin was a little puzzled, "When did you get soy milk in Xingqing Palace?" This smell is so strong, I'm afraid it's a lot, right? ”

"Yes, I just grinded a hundred pounds of beans."

"A hundred pounds of beans? What is the use of so much? When did it arise? Why don't I know? ”

"It's all the Emperor's intention, the Emperor Taishang asked the slaves and maids to grind soybean milk and make tofu in the palace, in addition to eating it themselves in the Xingqing Palace, the surplus will be sold in the nearby market."

"Make tofu to sell?" Li Shimin was completely stunned, a little incomprehensible, but soon understood again.

This must be the famous hall of his father, who used to raise cats, and now makes tofu, and only his father can have novel thoughts.

For Li Shimin, he didn't want to see this in his heart, but considering his father's mood, it was a good thing that he could have something to do. As long as he can stay in Xingqing Palace safely, it is better than anything else.

The little palace maid cowered, a little scared, feeling that it was a little inappropriate for the emperor to do this, and she was afraid that the emperor would blame her.

The emperor blamed them, and it was these minions who suffered.

Everyone in front of them looked at the emperor nervously, and they didn't know what the other party's attitude was.

Li Shimin knew the thoughts of these people, and thought about reassuring them earlier, so he smiled and asked: "I'm a little hungry, hurry up and serve a bowl of soy milk, and see the craftsmanship of your Xingqing Palace." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all relieved, and the emperor said this, so naturally he would not blame him, so someone hurried to serve soy milk.
