Don't be a prince

After the initial apology, Changsun Wuji quickly suppressed his boredom, and said to the emperor with a smile: "The prince is still a young man, and he is very angry. Naturally, he can't stand the heat. That kid in my family can't sit still all day long." Well."

Li Shimin naturally knew about Changsun rushing into the Qinling Mountains and entering the barracks. In fact, Changsun Chong and others were able to enter the barracks because of his acquiescence.

"It's almost time for Chong'er to go out and practice. I heard that he is quite successful in rock climbing. Even in other sports, he is not far behind. Auxiliary machine, do you intend to let Chong'er develop into a general in the future? "

Changsun Wuji nodded: "At the beginning, I switched from martial arts to literature because I injured my leg. Now, it's okay for Chong'er to follow the old path of me. Next year, I plan to send him to the imperial army to practice. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Li Shimin said happily: "That's fine, so I can see him occasionally. Why don't we let him work near the East Palace, and let him get closer to the prince."

...

Li Chengqian sat and looked at Chi Mian, but his ears were listening carefully.

From the short conversation between the two, he heard a lot of information.

For example, the emperor's father really favored his eldest grandson Wuji.Not to mention the Changsun Anye incident, which he protected with all his might as the emperor, even if Changsun Wuji clearly expressed the intention of bilateral development of civil and military affairs, he also accepted it.

That's right, it is the bilateral development of civil and military affairs.Changsun Wuji, who is now the Minister of the Household Department, is already a senior member of the civil service, and if Changsun Chong gains some influence in the army, then the Changsun family will occupy a place in both civil and military fields, and they will be able to Become the second largest family outside the royal family.

Doing this is a bit of a problem!

Although I don't know much about the specific historical facts, no matter in history, whether it is the Queen Mother Xuan of the Great Qin Dynasty, Queen Lu Lu Zhi, Wu Zetian, etc., when they took power, the court had a lot of turmoil due to the intervention of foreign relatives.

If the eldest grandson's family is rebellious...not right!

After thinking about the extremely arrogant Five Surnames and Seven Wangs at this time, Li Chengqian immediately understood what the emperor's father meant.

This is not breeding tigers, but draining people.

The current eldest grandson family is obviously not enough to compete with the five surnames and Qiwang, but if they get the support of the royal family, I am afraid they will grow up soon.Not only Changsun Wuji, but also Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, each of them is a ready-made blank of a big family.Compared with the five surnames and seven Wangs who cannot be controlled, it is a good strategy to cultivate one's own people and take over their positions.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian realized that the emperor's father was not "favoring" his eldest grandson Wuji unprincipled!

After letting go of his heart, he no longer cared about the conversation behind him.Lying on the fence, he concentrated on watching Liu Mang's first team train.

Li Jing's hell training is effective after all. Under the command of Liu Mang, who beat the drums on the bow, the team members quickly mastered the uniform rowing rhythm. Although it is not as fast as the royal team, at least compared to everyone Teams like Guogong are much faster.

This kind of speed is completely enough to break into the top three. As for the first place, it must be the royal team.Li Chengqian felt that he was probably not the only one who had this idea.In the top three, except No.1, only the second and third are worth fighting for.

While Li Chengqian was watching the training of Liu Mang's first team, a guard walked into the pavilion after reporting, and knelt down on one knee to report to the emperor: "His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has learned that Qujiang Pond is holding a dragon boat race, and he also hopes to come here." watch."

"The Supreme Emperor?" Li Shimin frowned.

The harem has never worried him because of the queen.But if there is anything else that can make him feel bad, it is probably only the Supreme Emperor.

Since the Xuanwumen coup, the Taishanghuang has been entrenched in the Taiji Hall and has become a cancer of the palace.

This "tumor" does not mean that he has any prejudice against the Supreme Emperor, but a ticking time bomb.

Whether it was Luo Yi who raised his troops to rebel or Li Xiaochang who conspired to rebel, they all played slogans such as "Jing Nan" in accordance with the Supreme Emperor's will.

Although he knew about this kind of thing, the Supreme Emperor would not be careless to participate, and the guards around the Taiji Hall would not let the news spread, but as an emperor, he was still very annoyed by being continuously questioned about his improper position.

People are like this, they can do bad things, and they know they are wrong, but they still get angry when they are pointed out and accused.

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin said: "The Taishang Emperor is not in good health, it is better not to go out of the palace. You go back and tell the Taishang Emperor that you can rest assured to take care of your health in the Taiji Hall!"

It was obviously a word of concern, but everyone could hear the impatience in the emperor's words.

Even Li Chengqian, who was eating melons, felt that the emperor's father was a little too much, and couldn't help but slander him repeatedly.

Even if Luo Yi and Li Xiaochang rebelled, you can't take all your anger on the Supreme Emperor.What I did was a bit immoral, and it was only natural that these things would happen later.

Originally, the Supreme Emperor had a prejudice against you because of the Xuanwu Sect. If you are so tit-for-tat, the relationship will not be eased. Let the father and son fight against each other!

The son did not speak of his father's faults, so Li Chengqian could only slander him, but did not dare to speak out.He has no right to be involved in the incident in front of him.Even the eldest grandson Wuji on one side looked into the distance with his wine glass in his hand, making it clear that he didn't want to speak.

Stretching out his hand to stop the guard who was about to deliver the order, the eldest grandson frowned and said, "Your Majesty, it's better not to stop the Supreme Emperor from coming out. You and the Supreme Emperor have a bad relationship in the first place. If things continue like this today, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid what, I've made up my mind, the queen doesn't need to say more!"

Seeing the emperor's insistence, the eldest grandson had no choice but to step aside. She was the queen and could give advice, but it was only advice.

Chapter 1 People sit in the palace, pots come from the sky

It's all right for the emperor to listen, and she has nothing to do if she doesn't listen.

Seeing that the queen did not speak anymore, the guard saluted again and left the pavilion.

Glancing at the direction in which the guards left, Li Shimin sighed, sat on the stone bench, stared at the noisy pool surface and remained silent for a long time.

Li Chengqian on the side also secretly sighed. Humans are strange creatures. Sometimes, even if we know that we shouldn't lose our temper and that losing our temper is unreasonable, we still can't avoid making trouble for no reason.Obviously, the emperor was not exempt.

On the surface of the pool, the two dragon boats seemed to collide, and many soldiers fell into the water.Two people who looked like courtiers quarreled in front of the public.

Unable to understand the civil servant Zou Zou's way of arguing, Li Chengqian turned his head away.

With this tilt of his head, his eyes just collided with those of his eldest grandson.

With a smile suitable for all occasions, Li Chengqian asked in confusion: "Queen, why do you look at Erchen like that?"

Seeing that the emperor got up to start a fight at the scene of the quarrel, the queen said earnestly, "Chengqian, the queen mother knows that you are very smart, and the way of thinking about things is not comparable to that of ordinary children. You tell the queen mother, do you think your father is the emperor? right?"

This....

Li Chengqian smiled wryly, the son doesn't say anything about his father's mistakes, even if he discusses his father's fault with his mother, it's not appropriate, isn't it.

"Father's behavior is not something that sons and ministers can discuss."

After saying this, Li Chengqian still shook his head to express his meaning.

Seeing Li Chengqian shaking his head, the eldest grandson smiled, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's good to know right from wrong, Chengqian, you have to remember, even though the Supreme Emperor is wrong in every way, he is the Supreme Emperor after all, your grandfather, your father Father, we are still a family. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and the Supreme Emperor also wants to feel the festive atmosphere, but under your father's order, he can't even come out of the palace. If possible, the queen mother hopes that you will replace your father The emperor will go to the Tai Chi Hall to spend the festival with the Supreme Emperor."

Seeing his eldest grandson's serious expression, Li Chengqian sighed secretly and could only nod his head.

As for the emperor's father and Li Shimin, he didn't know how many lifetimes of luck he had to marry a queen like his eldest grandson.

Not to mention that the harem is in order under her management, it is obvious that she has always been committed to maintaining the family relationship between the royal family.She probably arranged many things about the Tai Chi Hall, otherwise, Li Yuan must have lived a miserable life.

In addition, she wanted to celebrate the festival with Li Yuan by herself, obviously there was an educational meaning in it.

If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, if the upper beam is wrong, the lower beam must imitate it.She didn't want her son to become a person who neglected family affection.

Changsun Wuji has been watching from the sidelines, wanting to say something, but he didn't speak after all.

"The queen mother, I will trouble you to supervise the training led by the prince himself. My son, I will return to the East Palace now, and then go to the Taiji Hall."

The eldest grandson nodded, gave Li Chengqian a gentle hug, and then ordered his personal maid to follow him back to the palace.

Although her personal maid is just an ordinary female official, she still has a great say in the palace.

Leave the small pavilion, call the guards, and return to the East Palace.

Although Qujiang Pond is a royal park in name, but because of the war damage, there is nothing special except for a few small pavilions and a pool of water.

Because the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, Li Gang returned home again, but when he left, he specifically asked Li Chengqian to give him some zongzi.

Whether it is the meals in the East Palace on weekdays or the glutinous rice balls on the Lantern Festival, Li Gang likes them very much.No matter how ordinary the food is, it seems to become much more delicious after Li Chengqian's hands, and the zongzi must be the same.

Li Chengqian is probably the only one who can make Li Gang so invisible.

After arriving at the East Palace, Li Chengqian visited the Tai Chi Hall directly after writing a letter to the general supervisor.

During the Chinese New Year, the protection of the Tai Chi Hall was still average, but at this time, it seemed that there were almost three floors inside and outside.

Whether it was Luo Yi's rebellion on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, or Li Xiaochang's conspiracy to rebel now, they all had very bad effects.At the same time, Li Yuan's time bomb was also revealed.In the final analysis, Li Yuan is the orthodox emperor, and the first thing people think of when they see Li Shimin unhappy is to make a fuss about him.

Even the crown prince was able to enter the Tai Chi Hall after going through layers of inspections.

Although a lot of court ladies were sent to the East Palace during the Chinese New Year, it seemed that they were added at this time.

The Tai Chi Hall still looks like a "refugee hotel", with thick screens dividing large and small living areas.The size of the living area depends on the grade and whether there are children.

The original seat of the throne was still Li Yuan's exclusive seat. At this time, Li Yuan was bare-chested, showing black chest hair, holding a concubine who was half aloe in his left hand, and holding a wine bowl in his right hand.

Judging from his red face, he had already drunk a lot.

Seeing Li Chengqian entering, Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then muttered, "Why are you here, kid?"

He pulled up the clothes for the concubine and waved her away.

Enduring the pungent smell of wine, he walked to the side of Jinta, and Li Chengqian glanced at the seal on the wine jar. Fortunately, it was the batch that was sent to the palace years ago. .

"Grandfather, this alcohol has a strong alcohol content. You shouldn't drink so much. It's not good for your health."

After drinking the remaining wine at the bottom of the bowl in one gulp, Li Yuan laughed at himself, patted his big belly, and said, "So what if it's bad for your health, the only pastime I have now is wine and women. If you want to practice swords, immediately A guard came over to protect him, saying that he was afraid that I would lose my waist, heh, he was afraid that I would commit suicide! Knowing what that rebellious son meant, he wanted me to drink to death or die on a woman's belly. Just as he wished!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yuan roughly pulled over a court lady who was shaking a fan, and stretched out his hand to tear her clothes.

After listening to Li Yuan's words, Li Chengqian really didn't know what to say.To say that the emperor Li Yuan is quite aggrieved. In terms of reputation, he is not as good as his son Li Shimin. Even if he has studied history, it is easy to ignore him and mistakenly think that the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin.In terms of family, he lost his wife in middle age, and when he was old, he watched the children born to his wife kill each other, and lost the throne in grief.But now that he has become the Supreme Emperor, although he was not involved in the rebellion of two rebellious officials and thieves, he was still put in a shit bowl.

It can be said that people are sitting in the palace, and the pot comes from the sky!

Although he has been addicted to wine and sex for a long time, he can still see the force of the old man back then.The maid's coat, he tore it apart just by exerting force.

The palace maid was terrified, but she didn't dare to resist, she could only shed tears and looked at the prince with pleading eyes.

I don't have the habit of watching live erotica, and I don't have a hard-hearted heart of "seeing death without saving".

Sighing, Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and patted Li Yuan's greasy arm: "Grandpa Huang, grandson has a good way to pass the time, do you want to try it?"

Compared with venting his lower body desires, Li Yuan obviously wanted to have some other fun.

Pushing the maid in his arms aside, Li Yuan rubbed his temples: "What's the way? Tell me, if it's really interesting, I'll make the decision and send you another batch of maids! You saw it when you just entered the palace, and your mother came later The ones added here are younger than the previous ones. Although you won’t need them, but you can use them as rewards to your subordinates, hehe, it’s also very face-saving!”

Chapter 1: The Fate of the Court Lady

When it comes to lolicon, it is easy to think of the otaku gentleman who hides at home.

But in fact, ancient people are real gentlemen.

Modern people's perception of women is that they are young and young under [-], they are in their prime when they are over [-], they are gorgeous and moving when they are over [-], and some of them are still charming when they are around [-].But in the Tang Dynasty, a woman's most beautiful years were after she passed her age, and she was classified as an "old woman" after she gave birth to a child.

I don't understand what kind of desire these people can have for puberty little girls, but Li Chengqian still doesn't refuse any court ladies.The Eastern Palace is really a bit big, even with the previous batch of maids, it would take three or four days to do a general cleaning.What's more, they are quite risky in the Tai Chi Hall anyway, and Li Chengqian doesn't mind saving them.

"Then let's talk about it, Grandpa Huang, you should rest today and sober up. Tomorrow, you will bring your uncles and aunts to the Xianchi Palace. Father and the others are racing dragon boats in Qujiang Lake. We can't play such a big one, but There is also a way to race dragon boats!"

Li Yuan nodded with a smile, and waved his hand to ask the waiter to remove the wine table.

Although the emperor forbade him to go out of the palace to participate in the dragon boat race, he was particularly annoyed, but fortunately the prince still knew how to be considerate of the old man.

Seeing the back of Li Chengqian leaving, especially the disheveled maid who followed him, Li Yuan snorted and ignored him.

After coming out of the Taiji Hall, Li Chengqian came out after some inspections.

Stepping into the prince's carriage, Li Chengqian opened the door curtain, and said to the court lady under the carriage, "Come in!"

The maid's tears were still dripping, when she heard the prince's voice, she hurriedly said: "How dare the servants ride in the same car with the prince."

He hates the way women cry the most, so Li Chengqian glanced at Ziyan, the eldest grandson's personal maid, Ziyan understood, and forcefully pushed the maid into the carriage.

Sitting in the car, looking at the panic-stricken court lady kneeling at the exit, Li Chengqian sighed and said: "You come out with the identity of Gu, and Gu can't care about you. After all, Tai Chi Palace is not a good place for you guys." , but what’s the matter with you trailing behind Gu in disheveled clothes? People who don’t know the truth see it and think that Gu has done something to you!”

The maid prostrated herself on the ground, sobbing and said: "Mao Qi knew it was wrong, but the prince, you are a nobleman, the little girl doesn't want to serve the Supreme Emperor to the end, and she hasn't been dragged to be buried yet. You have a lot of adults, so help the lowly servant girl!"

"Yuqi? What the hell kind of name is that?"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Chengqian remembered the previous batch of maids who were sent to the East Palace.

At that time, I didn't have much time and didn't pay attention to their names.

Maybe, a number like "半七" is their name.

Knowing that the fate of the court ladies is not very good, but Li Chengqian doesn't know what it is like.

The carriage started to move. Seeing that Mao Qi was covering his clothes and couldn't fix his body, Li Chengqian said, "Stop kneeling, and sit by the side of the carriage. There is still a distance from the Tai Chi Hall to the East Palace. Take advantage of this time, come with me." Just tell me about your business.”

Seeing that the prince didn't intend to drive him away or send him back to the Tai Chi Hall, Mao Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief and talked about his own affairs.

Although her story is only a microcosm of the experience of thousands of court ladies, it can barely be generalized.

All the maids are selected from the families of low-level officials and good people, and there are very strict rules when selecting them.Don't be ugly, don't be too fat or thin, and don't have hidden diseases on your body.The age must be 13-20, and those who are too old will not be considered, even if the selected maid will spend most of her life in the palace.

After being selected as maids of honor, they will go through a selection process when they enter the palace.Those with good looks will be grouped into a group and sent to the emperor, empress, and emperor to serve important people such as the emperor, and those with bad looks will be responsible for various chores.

Once here, the fate of the future has already been decided.

Those who are selected as handymen will have no chance to go further in the future, and they will also have no chance to leave the palace.As for those with outstanding looks, it is a way out to become a female official, and it is still a way out to be given to ministers as rewards.As for being favored by the emperor, turning over and becoming a concubine, that is simply an unrealistic dream.

As for being sent to the Supreme Emperor to work as an errand, it was the last thing a beautiful court lady would want.Not to mention that it is easy to be forced by the Supreme Emperor at any time, even if she is pregnant, it will not end well.Like Li Yuanchang, the birth mother was a grandson, after all, it is a minority. There are more princes and princesses.As for where the court ladies who gave birth to princes and daughters went, few people knew.
