The Palace of Peach and Plum

Chapter 42:

Li Shi and Xie Lin’an had a good relationship, and had long regarded the Xie family, the most talented person in this generation, as his own minister. Xie Linan was repeatedly humiliated by Ling Wei (Ling Wei: I am more wronged than Dou E…), Li Shi naturally had a bad impression of Ling Wei.

In Li Shi’s view, this kind of person who can only please children and is of little use is no different from a director. Li Shi thinks so, and thinks his father must think so too. If the emperor does not think so, then he must let the emperor look down upon Ling Wei’s true face (Ling Wei: I’m really shocked…). As a result, he was robbed by his brother and couldn’t get off the stage.

And Li Hu seemed to start talking endlessly because of being raised up. He seems to be really interested in Ling Wei. He knows all the poems and songs that Ling Wei is circulating now, and he is full of praise. In that way, in later generations, he will be a qualified salesperson for Amway.

Well, although Li Hu is very honest and taciturn, unexpectedly, he is actually a chatter.

When Li Hu mentioned Ling Wei’s poems, Chu Wang Li Jun slowly raised his melancholy face and joined the topic.

When Li Jun was born, he was the strongest eldest of the first three sons, and he learned the fastest no matter how he turned around. His Majesty the Emperor was happy, thinking that this child was just like his brother, he must be a born general, so he named him “Jun”.

But when Li Jun grew up to enlightenment, he was crooked. I don’t know if he was affected or stimulated. As soon as he learned to read, he loved those melancholic poetry. After being a little older, it hurts the spring and autumn even more, completely looking like a melancholy young literary and artistic youth. Fortunately, even though Li Jun did not meet the expectations of the Emperor’s “Grand General’s Son”, he is still very literary. As a melancholy literary youth, he is also a melancholic literary youth with a culture and compelling style, so his majesty is not too heartbroken. Stuffed.

Because of the death of his mother’s concubine, Li Jun has recently become more melancholic. He doesn’t even care about external affairs. He stays in the house and writes commemorative poems for the mother’s concubine and his childhood.

Now that he heard Ling Wei’s poems, he was shocked as a heavenly man. Although Ling Wei’s poems are not only melancholy, he also loves poems of heroic spirit. Moreover, Ling Wei is more hesitant than him when he is melancholy, and even more sensational than him when he is sad. Li Jun, who had always been listless, immediately thumped his chest, thinking that he had missed his life confidant. Then I started discussing Ling Wei’s poems with my second brother, and decided to get to know this confidant first, and wait for a while to speak, so as not to be rude.

The second and third elder brothers chatted with no one else, and the eldest brother was still embarrassed. His Majesty the emperor talked with the ministers beside him in a state of evasion that had nothing to do with him. The Fourth Prince Yue Wang Li Chun looked left and right, and leaned in front of the prince and asked in a low voice: “His Royal Highness?”

The prince turned his head and whispered: “Four brothers call Gu the fifth brother.”

“The ceremony cannot be abandoned.” Li Chun continued to whisper, “His Royal Highness, how good is Xiao Qi? I heard yesterday that Xiao Qi had eaten a piece of bun, is it true? I am studying now and cannot go to see Xiao Qi every day. My father is not allowed. I am very worried. What’s wrong with Xiaoqi? I’m sick? In a bad mood? Or is it too hot? It’s too cold? Is it because she has a nightmare and is frightened?…”

The prince sternly replied, “Little Qi is very good. It is possible to eat less of a piece of bun, because he stole a few pieces of cake the night before, and the result was a toothache, and the lone even trained him. It is estimated that he ate too much at night. In the end, I couldn’t eat it the next day. Brother Si should go to see Xiao Qi and tell Xiao Qi well, you should eat less sweets, and you can’t eat alone if Jintang feels soft.”

Li Chun was silent for a while and said: “The cake won’t be missing from His Royal Highness, right? Xiao Qi ate two more soon.”

The prince continued to face straightforwardly: “Little Seven is young, Mo Mo Jin Tang, Jin Tang feels soft. Gu Mo Jin Tang, Jin Tang said that he can’t compete with children when he grows up alone. So does Xiao Qi and Xiao Qi. , Jinque is the same. As younger brothers, you don’t know how to respect your elder brother, only the small Liuan points. You are a small seven brother, you should persuade you more.”

“His Royal Highness, as a brother, you should give out a few more cakes. If it were me, I would give all of my share to Xiaoqi, I would be happy.” Li Chun said distressedly, “but it is still better if you eat it without rinsing your mouth. If it doesn’t work, the tooth decay is so painful. It should be persuaded. It’s OK if you keep it for the next day.”

“You are too used to Xiao Qi.”

“Xiao Qi is so young, how can he be used to it. Alas, but just eating cake is not enough. Didn’t the imperial doctor say to eat more fruits and vegetables? Xiao Qi just doesn’t like to eat this, so worried.”

“Children are too spoiled, and eat if they don’t.”

“His Royal Highness, you said that those people in the Imperial Kitchen are so useless, they can’t make the vegetables and fruits that Xiao Qi likes to eat?”

“He just loves sweets too much, lonely doesn’t like it.”

“His Royal Highness, you said it’s useless how my concubine and I can persuade Xiao Qi. Go and beg the queen. Can the queen persuade Xiao Qi? Both my concubine and I

Can’t bear to say something hard. ”

“…It is estimated that the mother’s queen is also easy to feel soft. Jinque also has tooth decay, alas. Why don’t you learn to learn from loneliness, loneliness never loves sweets and can eat well.”

The two brothers looked at each other and sighed.

It’s so sad to have an undisciplined brother.

Yes, although Li Chun’s mother and concubine are not high, he is not a favorite in the palace. But the stomach is arrogant. The emperor didn’t go to bed several times, but he had two sons. Although Lin Cairen and Li Chun are low-key people, they are heinously pampered with Li Lian, the king of Xiaoqiji, and they look like they have everything to do with their children. Li Chun usually doesn’t interact too deeply with other brothers, but when it comes to Xiaoqi…hehe.

While talking with the minister, the Emperor looked at the eldest son who was isolated and didn’t know he had nothing to say and sang himself. He was ready to flex his hands to find his confidant’s second and third sons. Talking about how headaches the younger brother is, but in short, it’s still very cute. The fourth son and the prince sighed.

These are all his species! His kind! Why do you feel so stupid, without inheriting his wise and wise? What exactly is going on. What about the tiger father without dogs? How many of his sons are so heartbreaking!

In contrast, the prince is still the most intimate, although sometimes naughty, but still young. His Majesty the Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. Come on, if the prince is good, it is really good. He doesn’t care about the others, as long as it doesn’t cause trouble.

As for the eldest son who always wants to cause trouble… His Majesty the Emperor said hehe. He admired this scheming if it could set off a storm.

Including Concubine Xie in the palace too. His Majesty the emperor would occasionally pamper him. Seeing a beautiful and brainless woman, His Majesty the Emperor has a sense of pride that he is the smartest creature in the world.

With Concubine Xie, it’s easy, at ease, no need to think about anything, and it’s still fun.

Well, next time let the queen send more pieces of cloth to Concubine Xie.

“Your Royal Highnesses have a deep feeling.” The ministers said that the princes (except the eldest prince) are all in harmony, which is really a great fortune for the country.

His Majesty the Emperor smiled silently. At this time he is still very proud of being a father. This is all good from the Queen’s Church.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The princes here have almost communicated, and Ling Wei can’t drink anymore here.

It’s not drunk. At present, the brewing technology of this wine is all low-alcohol, it is estimated that at most ten degrees. But after drinking too much, Ling Wei wanted to go to the toilet and was swollen!

At this time, I still pretend to be drunk… Can I ask if I can go to the toilet if I pretend to be drunk? Ling Wei wanted to cry without tears.

Although the scholars are young and vigorous, they are more or less winking. Seeing embarrassment for so long, Ling Wei didn’t lose the battle. Ling Wei was obviously a little drunk and bewildered when he drank, and if he held on to it, it would not be close, but offensive. The acquaintances scattered one after another, and even those who were not acquainted were persuaded by the people around them.

The emperor is still watching from above, pay attention.

But this group of jinshi is very pity in their hearts. This En Rong Banquet, Ling Wei took the top spot again.

Ling Wei’s head was swiped by the words “want to go to the toilet.” He actually forgot. If you drink too much, you won’t get drunk, but you will hold on! Will urinate!

Mother, this is really a tragedy.

Fortunately, for this kind of banquet that can be filled with wine, it is not so anti-human, like other etiquette, can not go to the toilet. The little eunuchs who were serving were also very shrewd. Seeing that Ling Wei was drinking too much, they took the initiative to ask whether to change clothes and wash his face, sober and sober.

Well, changing clothes means going to the toilet.

Ling Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and was busy saying goodbye to the others and went to look for the toilet.

There are still several toilets in Linyuan. The jinshis were suffocated, and they probably felt that going to the toilet was too inelegant and too serious. Only Ling Wei, who always reminded himself of the importance of imperial power, still lacked a muscle in his head. I was negligent and drank too much. So there is no need to queue for the toilet, which is a good thing.

After letting out the water, cleaning his hands, and wiping his face, Ling Wei tidyed up his clothes and hair, and was about to go out to fight again. As a result, as soon as he went out, he saw Li Ying leaning against a tree, waiting for him.

“I will let people make the soup for wine, drink it and then go back.” Li Ying’s face was full of disapproval, and Ling Wei who looked at it was a little guilty.

It’s hard for you, why did you accept it all? Even if you are not easy to get drunk, what should you do if you have a hangover and headache after drinking too much? ”

“Isn’t this embarrassing to refuse?” Ling Wei said with a dry smile. In fact, he was embarrassed and a little angry. Impulsive impulsive.

Ling Wei took the soup medicine from the **** who didn’t know when, and poured it down. When he was frowning at the strange smell, a rock candy was suddenly stuffed into his mouth.

Ling Wei looked at Li Yin who quickly retracted his hand, recalling the touch of the fingers on his lips, and was immediately stunned.

Isn’t this… action too close? Or does he think too much?

Li Ying turned his hands behind his back and left: “Go back quickly.”

Ling Wei shook his head vigorously. So, is he thinking too much? Wait, did Li Yin blush just now? Are your ears red? I didn’t see it clearly!

Ling Wei’s mind is full of Li Ying’s overly intimate behavior, feeding sugar or something, and not a child. This is really a bit…too much? And if you have to keep your fingers long, it seems that you still feel the cocoon on the knuckles, so I want to take a bite…Stop! Under the public, YY is not a good practice anymore! What should I do if I get a nosebleed again this day!

“Cousin Jintang!” Ling Wei, who was thinking about it, didn’t realize that the scholars who were talking about him suddenly quieted down.

He reflexively picked up the small cannonball that was running towards him crying all the way, let him sit peacefully in his arms, and then twisted the nearest sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table and stuffed it into the child’s hand.

“Cousin Jintang! My cake was stolen by the prince’s brother and beat him!” Jin Que complained with a full face. He woke up from a nap and found that the cake was gone! It’s all gone! Then he cried and ran all the way, and when he saw Jintang just coming back from the toilet, he ran over!

“Okay, hit…” Ling Wei came back to his senses, “Who? Jin…cough cough, little lord? Why did you run over?”

Damn it! Where’s the person serving? ! Where is the guard in the palace? ! Why did Jin Que run all the way here!

“I woke up and the cake was gone, I ran and ran, and couldn’t find the way.” Jin Que was soothed by the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, “I saw Jintang. There are so many people.”

“…” There was a lot of noise, and he said that he didn’t know how to throw up.

“Jintang, this, this is…” The person next to him was already stunned by the crying kid who suddenly rushed into the Enrong Banquet.

“This is…” Ling Wei has a headache, how do you say? How do you say this? This crying kid is the most noble prince besides His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Wei?

“Jinque!” And His Majesty the Emperor had already walked over with his thunderous leather robe tumbling and looking pale.

Although I don’t know what mistake I made, it seems that I made a mistake like this. This is not a small mistake. Although he is young, the spirit of the ghost and elves immediately plunged into Ling Wei’s arms and pretended to be dead.

Didn’t see, didn’t see, didn’t see the father is angry!

Li Li came over, and the people around immediately snapped and knelt. Ling Wei also hugged the little prince Jinque who couldn’t get down like an octopus, knelt down and shouted long live.

“Get up and kneel.” Li Li grabbed Ling Wei up. “What’s the matter with Jinque?!”

“His Royal Highness said…” Ling Wei glanced around in embarrassment.

Li Li also suddenly came back to his senses. It’s not easy to tell everyone about it. He coughed hurriedly, “All of you are flat. Please feel free to Aiqing. Since Jintang, you are my nephew, come here to sit here and get to know. Your cousins.”

Ling Wei knelt for the bad excuse he made for the emperor, but even if the excuse is bad, he can only follow it.

The rest of the jinshis stood up in confusion. what’s the problem?

“nephew?”

“I suddenly remembered that Ling Zhuangyuan was the son of Princess Chang Le and Grandpa Lu.”

“Princess Chang Le?”

“Princess Changle is the first emperor’s righteous daughter. She recognized her under the name of the first queen and wrote her genealogy. Her status is equal to that of the queen’s prostitute. After registration today, she will be named the princess. It is said that the princess and her majesty are like siblings. ”

“No wonder…”

“Why haven’t anyone said it?”

“Ling Zhuangyuan is low-key. Not to mention I haven’t remembered yet, Ling Zhuangyuan’s status is precious.”

“It’s said that Lu Guogong split up in advance?”

“Last year’s hard fight, Grandpa Lu broke the boat and left the boat in advance. His Majesty praised him for his high justice, gave him a mansion, and named Ling Zhuangyuan as a Haiyang County male.”

“Hey, you know Ling Zhuangyuan very well.”

The man smiled and said, “Ling Zhuangyuan’s mansion is opposite to my house.”

Yes, this is another honorable child.

In recent years, the noble children have come to the imperial examination one after another, to grab the way of advancement of the concubine? What are you noble children who were born with a golden spoon in their hands, what are you doing! Want to fight, right?

Next to him, Xie Lin’an poured a glass of wine fiercely. Obviously he is also considered a relative of the emperor! Why didn’t His Majesty the Emperor greet him! The eldest princess is still just a righteous daughter, speaking of Ling Wei and the royal family are not related yet! He is at least a cousin of the Grand Prince!

Wait…Wei Wang? Isn’t that the prince’s brother? This must be the conspiracy of the prince!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“Ahye!” The prince rubbed his nose, “Jinque, are you talking bad things in your heart?”

Jinque turned his face and gave his prince brother a big rabbit eye.

Li Li originally wanted to reprimand the bear boy who was running around, but when he saw Jinque’s rabbit eyes, he immediately felt relieved, and his tone became much softer: “How come here to run around?! Here is what you can do. Where are you from?!”

Jinque said in a daze, “Where is this? I cried out, but I couldn’t find my way back. I didn’t meet anyone else along the way. I ran over when I saw my cousin Jintang.”

Li Li was choked immediately. Yes, Jin Que is just over three years old, he knows what a shit! It’s all about the people who are waiting!

The Lin Yu that the Enrong Banquet put on was naturally the emperor’s palace and other courtyard. Li Li had planned to leave Ling Wei after the Enrong Banquet. Empress Liu suggested that Ling Wei is her own nephew and has no elders by her side. The two of them are Ling Wei’s only elders in the capital, and we still want to celebrate with her children. one time. Ling Wei’s achievements also have half the credit of Li Li’s teaching, and the family should have a meal if they are reasonable.

Li Li felt that it made sense, so he brought all the little princes who wanted Ling Wei to think about. Let Ling Wei stay at the end of the Enrong Banquet

Have a meal and give it a lesson. This ternary has reached the top, it is time to be an official, and some matters in the officialdom are still taught by the elders. Isn’t he the only elder Ling Wei can rely on? Naturally he came to teach.

In the end, Jin Que ran over in a daze.

Don’t say you can’t expect a three-year-old child to know the way more, and no one has told Jinque that he can’t come here.

So it’s the fault of the people who served!

“Where is the person who is serving! Is he dead!” Since it was not his son’s fault, it was someone else’s fault, and Li Li was furious in an instant.

“The Empress Empress sent someone to say that the people who served His Royal Highness Wei stole a laziness, and she couldn’t find where His Royal Highness was. Now the Empress Empress has taken everyone into custody and postponed her voice.” Ding Gonggong whispered. road.

“Tell the queen, Jin Que is here, don’t worry. Those people will be locked up first, and then talk.” Li Li said with a calm face, slapped Ling Wei with his hands, and lined up on the back of Ling Wei’s head, “It’s all you It’s wrong! Don’t make more cakes! Jinque won’t cry!”

Ling Wei was wronged. Who said that don’t make too much, can’t let the little princes eat too much sweets? So it’s not the fault of the Emperor who raised the restriction, or the prince who is suspected of stealing the cake from his brother, but the fault of the person who made the cake?

Well, your Majesty said that whoever is at fault is whoever is at fault. Ling Wei aggrieved aggrieved.

“Jinque, the lonely did not eat your cake.” His Royal Highness felt that he still couldn’t remember some pots. “Aren’t you tooth decay? The queen cut half of your sweets. Did you eat the cake at night and forget it? There is not much left?”

Jin Que blinked the rabbit’s eyes, holding Ling Wei’s neck with one hand, and counting with the other: “One, two… Jin Que ate one or two last night… It seems really gone!”

The prince shrugged innocently.

“Brother Prince, I was wrong…”

“Okay, I forgive you, don’t cry.” The prince was grandiose.

“Thank you, prince brother.” A good boy who apologized when he knew his mistake.

Li Li nodded in relief.

…Reassuring a fart! Li Li looked at the silent eyes of the ministers around him, coughed dryly, and said, “The child is still young, so I just laughed.”

“His Royal Highness Wei is well-behaved.” The ministers hurriedly praised.

“It’s just your Majesty. His Majesty Wei is still young, so he is not to blame at this time.” A middle-aged man with three beards said, “But there are so many people waiting for His Royal Highness Wei, and there are also many guards and waiters here. It is too dangerous to let His Royal Highness Wei run over. What if His Royal Highness Wei falls and the wounded person is injured?”

“Xie Aiqing is right.” Li Li frowned. This means that Qin, who is responsible for guarding the palace and the palace, is not fulfilling his responsibilities, or does it mean that the queen who manages the inner palace is not fulfilling his responsibilities? Did he know that because of Concubine Xie’s crying, and the Queen’s recent health problems and busy drafting, he assigned the house to Concubine Xie?

The guards of the palace under Li Yin’s jurisdiction are also on the periphery, and the inside of the palace is also patrolling. No guard dared to walk into the inner palace.

The heart is congested and the eye drops are not right. Didn’t Concubine Xie not ventilate with his home? Well, it seems that because of the draft, the queen has always been very strict in the inner palace. If people outside the palace do not come in, they don’t know what’s going on in the palace. Li Shi is also busy with “political affairs” and hasn’t entered the palace for a long time. It’s not surprising that I don’t know.

Li Li sighed: “I really want to let the queen be lazy, but it won’t work. This is inseparable from the queen, I feel distressed.”

Xie Rong was at a loss. The foreign minister could not have interrupted the inner palace, and finally found the queen’s fault. It was her own son, His Royal Highness Wei Wang, who had leaked. This was a rare opportunity. He gave the queen eyedrops round the corner, but… Your Majesty’s words seem to be…not quite right. right?

However, Li Li stopped mentioning this matter, and Xie Rong was not easy to follow up. He said one thing is caring, and said two words is beyond the distance. He is not stupid to be an official for so long.

Well, it’s just a little bad luck.

Li Li hadn’t planned to blame Jinque. He thought that although Jinque made En Rongyan a little embarrassed, these scholars were unlikely to care about children, so he didn’t bother to think about it. This Ling Wei has already called, so there is no need to go back, just speak with him.

So under the leadership of conscientious elders, Ling Wei first met the ministers of the pillars of the central government. In addition to the minister of the Ministry of Rites Yu Zheng, and his teacher Guozijian Jijiu Zhao Zhao, Li Li brought four other ministers besides the Ministry of Rites, and four ministers in the cabinet. The Libu Shangshu has passed away, so this time the Libu minister Yu Zheng will come instead. In this way, Yu Zheng should be succeeded in the position of Book of Etiquette.

.

It seems that although Li Li sings and curses “that nasty, pedantic, smelly and hard Yu old man”, he still values him in his heart.
