Pregnant with His Highness' cub before becoming a monk

After returning to the palace that day, Li Yi didn't speak much.

Shifang was afraid that he would be devastated after being hit one after another, so he didn't dare to let him stay by himself, and took him to Jiyueju together.

Yuxing's staff prepared food and wine, and placed them in the pavilion outside Jiyue Residence.

Sitting next to Li Yi, Shi Fang couldn't help feeling a little distressed when he saw the young man's disappointed face.

The young man Dou Chukai suffered such a blow, and his heart must have been quite bitter.

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can drink a little wine." Shi Fang said.

Li Yi looked at Shifang and said, "Brother, why is it so difficult for you to keep someone?"

Shi Fang only thought that he was talking about those three people, and comforted him: "The matter of the two people is about chance, Your Highness just has no chance with them."

"There are so many people in the vast crowd, since Rang Gu met, how can you say there is no fate?" Li Yi asked.

Shi Fang looked at Li Yi and said, "Your Highness, one has to let go of things all one's life. Being too persistent in many things will only lead to self-suffering."

Li Yi's eyes turned red, he looked away from Shifang, and said, "I can't let go of the loneliness. I tried many times, but I can't do it."

Shifang sighed. He never expected that His Royal Highness would be so affectionate in just a few days!

I just don't know, which one of the three...

"Brother, you said that day that you don't have to keep the precepts. If Gu asked you to drink, would you make an exception for Gu?" Li Yi asked Shifang.

Shi Fang's eyes fell on the wine glass, and he said, "If I drink it to make you feel better, why not make an exception?"

Li Yi looked at him and asked, "What if you break other precepts? Are you willing too?"

Shi Fang thought for a while and said, "If you are happy, I will naturally."

Although Shifang has practiced for many years, he is not attached to many things.If he had already become a monk, he would naturally have to observe the precepts, but he has not yet received the precepts. If he could "cross" Li Yi through the sea of ​​suffering by drinking wine and eating meat, it would be a merit.

"Practitioners don't tell lies, brother, I can remember this alone today." Li Yi said.

Seeing that Li Yi's complexion looked a little better, Shi Fang smiled and said, "As long as it's not something that hurts all living beings, you can just mention it."

When Shi Fang said this, his tone was full of connivance and indulgence.

Li Yi was very familiar with his expression, Shifang had always treated him like this when he was young.

No matter how naughty and absurd Li Yi was when he was young, Shifang would indulge him unconditionally.Shi Fang will give Li Yi whatever he wants. The young man once believed in this indulgence, thinking that he would never lose it in this life...

It wasn't until after Shifang left the palace that he realized that he had never had the other party.

All the companionship and pampering in the past have become sharp weapons to torture people after they are lost, stabbing impartially at the most painful place in the heart.

During those years, Li Yi couldn't even hear Shifang's name.

As long as he thinks of this person's kindness, somewhere in his heart hurts badly.

"Brother, as long as you are here, I won't feel uncomfortable in my heart." Li Yi said.

Seeing the faint smile in his eyes, Shi Fang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking to himself that His Highness's attachment comes and goes quickly.

Thinking of the experience of the past few days, Shi Fang himself was quite emotional.

He has not come back from the temple for several years, and he has become unfamiliar with the people and things in the capital.

Before that, he would never have imagined that the candidates proposed by the courtiers to His Highness the Crown Prince would be so messy.Thanks to Li Yi's temper now, if it was in the past, he would have to find this group of people bad luck.

"Just think about it. If you can't find someone you like, forget it." Li Yi said: "In the future, I will go to Qingyin Temple to become a monk and become a monk, so that I can get closer to my brother."

Shifang said helplessly, "Don't be angry."

Li Yi really wanted to say, since you can go to Qingyin Temple to practice, naturally I can too.

But the questioning tone was too obvious, so Li Yi held back.

"Actually, if you think about it, who in this world can really get what they want?" Li Yi said: "Although these people are not perfect, at least they are pleasing to the eye... If Gu Ruo married them into the East Palace, it would be a big deal. I also learn from them to go out and have fun, no one will suffer."

Shi Fang was taken aback by his words, and saw that he was playing a bit of a joke, only then did he realize that he was speaking angrily.

But after Li Yi reminded him like this, Shifang remembered something...

"The place we went to today, I always felt a little strange." Shi Fang said.

Li Yi restrained his expression and looked towards Shifang, waiting for him to continue.

Shi Fang said again: "Although I have not been in the capital for many years, I also know that there are Jiaofangsi in the capital, there are brothels in the capital, and there are many places that specialize in raising young men. But today, that place is neither in the downtown nor in the flower street. No matter how you look at it, it’s strange to be nestled in such an inconspicuous alley.”

Li Yi nodded and said: "Gu has heard that there are some prostitutes who will spread among the people and do such business secretly. But most of the prostitutes are in twos and threes, open the door to do business like this, and charge such a high price, but I have never heard of it." Pass."

For the price of ten taels of silver, anyone who can afford it is a wealthy young man.But that place is so dark, it is not better than those brothels in Huajie, why would someone spend so much money to go to such a place?

Both Shifang and Li Yi knew very little about this matter, and they couldn't figure it out for a while.

But after being reminded by Shifang, Li Yi also felt that there was something wrong with what that place thought...

Especially the stranger they met there, the way that man looked at Shifang was too complicated.

Although there was only one look, Li Yi still couldn't help feeling vigilant when he recalled the other party.

After returning to the East Palace that night, Li Yi called Huo Yansheng to the study.

There are three chapters of portraits on the desk, as well as the painting given to Li Yi by the young man by the lake.

Li Yi's eyes fell on the painting, and he stretched out his hand to gently caress himself and Shifang in the painting, with a faint smile in his eyes.

"Your Highness, what are your plans for these three people?" Huo Yansheng asked.

"Jin Xi, Chen Yaofeng, Yan Changsheng..." Li Yi looked at the three paintings one by one, and said, "This Jin Xi is flamboyant and bullying, does she have any other skills?"

Huo Yansheng hurriedly said: "This man seems to have a bad temper, but his nature is not bad. He left after paying the money for the food that day." According to the rules, the guy spilled the food, and the money should belong to the guy on the head.

"It's just because of some wealth." Li Yi looked at the man in the middle with some hesitation.

Huo Yansheng didn't wait for him to open his mouth and said, "Chen Yaofeng is used to being idle on weekdays. He not only draws pictures by the lake, but also likes to tell people's fortunes."

"The painting is not bad." Li Yi's eyes fell on the painting of himself and Shifang again, and he said after a while: "Tomorrow someone will frame this painting and put it in the lonely bedroom."

Huo Yan responded hurriedly, and then said: "The last Yan Changsheng is very clever and righteous, and has quite a lot of connections in the world, but he is a bit lecherous..."

Li Yi glanced at the portraits of the three of them, and said after a while, "Leave them all for now."

Huo Yansheng nodded hurriedly when he heard the words, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

That list was sent to the Eastern Palace a few months ago, and it contained a list of guests recommended to the prince.However, Li Yi didn't seem to be keen on cultivating disciples, and he didn't give a definitive answer after the list was put on for a long time.

Until a few days ago, Li Yi asked Huo Yansheng to make up names of honorable backgrounds for the people on the list, and added Ling Zhiyuan's name at the top...

Then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally went out of the palace to meet these three people...

Although these disciples came from complicated backgrounds and were not as "clean" as those from the imperial examinations, those who could be recommended to the East Palace naturally had some abilities.Huo Yansheng had sweated for the three of them before, fearing that Li Yi would look down on them, but he didn't expect him to keep all three of them in one go.

"Let Yan Changsheng come to see Gu tomorrow." Li Yi said.

This Yan Changsheng is the one who likes to "pinch his feet".

"Yes." Huo Yansheng hurriedly responded, and he didn't back down until Li Yi gave some more instructions.

The next day.

Li Yi originally ordered Huo Yansheng to take him to the East Palace for a meeting, but he changed his mind and arranged the meeting in an idle house outside the palace.

The man named Yan Changsheng was startled when he saw Li Yi, and recognized that Li Yi was one of the people who ruined his "good deed" yesterday.At that time, he was almost sick from fright, and cursed at Li Yi and Shifang and said a lot of unpleasant things.

"Yan is too blind to see Mount Tai, please punish him, His Royal Highness." Yan Changsheng knelt in front of Li Yi and saluted Li Yi.

Naturally, Li Yi wouldn't argue with him about this matter, motioned him to stand up, and said, "I have something to ask you."

Yan Changsheng got up obediently when he heard the words, and stood beside him with his head bowed, waiting for Li Yi to ask questions.

"There are so many places to raise young children in Huajie, why did you go there?" Li Yi asked.

Yan Changsheng hurriedly said: "It's more fun to play fancy there than in the small nursery."

Li Yi glanced at him, and Yan Changsheng hurriedly added: "Don't dare to lie to Your Highness, Yan has noticed that something is not normal in that place earlier, and now he often runs there, not only for entertainment, but also to find out where it is. It's tricky, and when the time comes to seek refuge with His Highness the Crown Prince, it's better to give His Highness a meeting gift."

"How long will it take to find out?" Li Yi asked.

"One month... no, half a month is enough." Yan Changsheng said: "If possible, please give Yan some helpers from His Highness."

Li Yi glanced at Huo Yansheng, and said, "Let Jin Xi and Chen Yaofeng assist him. If this goes well, you can come to the East Palace to follow Gu after it's over."

"Thank you Your Highness, Yan will go through fire and water for His Highness." Yan Changsheng said.

"There is another person, you help Gucha find out his details." Li Yi said.

The man's gaze when he stared at Shifang flashed in Li Yi's mind, and he said coldly: "After you find out, don't startle the snake, tell Gu immediately."

"Yes." Yan Changsheng hurriedly said.

Li Yi didn't continue to stay in the house, and left after Yan Changsheng gave his orders.

After the two of them came out of the house, Li Yi said to Huo Yan: "You send someone to keep an eye on him, I don't trust him."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, these three subordinates have sent people to watch over them, and there will be no mistakes," Huo Yan said.

Hearing this, Li Yi was a little relieved.

"You should also send someone to watch the 'feet-pinching' place to prevent them from getting tricky." Li Yi said.

"Yes." Huo Yansheng hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Your Highness, the three of them will be guests in the Eastern Palace in the future. What if Master Shifang recognizes them?"

Li Yi's eyes froze and he didn't answer.

Huo Yansheng added: "It's not a long-term plan for us to go on like this. How long are we going to lie to Master Shifang? As the saying goes, fire can't be covered with paper. It will take a long time...he will see it sooner or later."

These days, Huo Yansheng could see what Li Yi did.Although Li Yi never explained to him, but Huo Yansheng has followed Li Yi for many years, and seeing Li Yi's attitude towards Shifang these days, he guessed seven or eight points.

But it is said that twisted melons are not sweet, and His Royal Highness is so reluctant to keep him by his side, something will happen sooner or later.

Huo Yansheng is loyal to Li Yi, and he has been anxious for Li Yi these days, and today he couldn't help but reminded him casually.

Li Yi stopped when he heard this, and turned to look at Huo Yansheng.

His gaze was not sharp on purpose, it was almost calm,

But that calm fell in Huo Yansheng's eyes, but he felt extremely sharp.

"Are you accusing Gu?" Li Yi asked, "Or are you teaching Gu to do things?"

Huo Yansheng:! ! !

I'm going to die, I'm too involved in the drama, I almost forgot what kind of temper His Royal Highness used to have! ! !
