Pregnant with His Highness' cub before becoming a monk

On the way back to the palace, Li Yi kept his face cold.

Huo Yansheng followed tremblingly, not daring to make a sound.

These days, because Li Yi spends most of his time with Shifang except for going to court and discussing politics, Huo Yansheng is almost getting used to the way his Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks when he is in front of Shifang.After regaining his senses, Huo Yansheng realized that His Highness the Crown Prince hadn't changed his temper these days, but was just "acting".

People who acted in the theater didn't take it seriously, but he, a theater watcher, couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness was rushing back to the palace, so he didn't have time to pursue his talkativeness.

Huo Yansheng's heart had been hanging in the air until he entered Jiyueju, and then he let it go a little bit.

Anyway, as long as Shi Fang is present, there is no need to worry about His Royal Highness' temper...

"Your Highness is out of the palace today?" Seeing that Li Yi was wearing casual clothes, Shi Fang asked.

Li Yi nodded and said, "Gu... went to see Yan Changsheng."

Shifang vaguely remembered the names on the previous list, and after a little recollection, he realized that Yan Changsheng was the one who liked to "pinch his feet".

"I went to see him not because I still have thoughts about him, but just to ask some questions." Li Yi honestly explained to him as if he was afraid that Shi Fang would be unhappy.

Shifang remembered that they talked about the unusualness of that place yesterday, and guessed that Li Yi was probably asking about it.It's just that Li Yi's expression was a little bit lost, and he looked very depressed.

"Your Highness doesn't have other thoughts about that Yan Changsheng?" Shi Fang asked.

"Gu...no." Li Yi retorted, but his tone was a little unnatural, and Shi Fang looked in his eyes and thought that he still didn't see it, and was still brooding about it.

Shi Fang sighed, and said, "You've already seen him doing that kind of thing in person, so why bother thinking about him. There are so many good men in the world, and he doesn't deserve you at all."

"Brother is right, I won't miss him anymore." Li Yi said hastily.

"Really?" Shifang asked.

Li Yi nodded and said, "When did Gu ever deceive elder brother?"

As soon as he said this, Huo Yansheng, who was guarding the door, couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and almost couldn't control his expression.

It has to be said that His Royal Highness's ability to "tell lies without blushing" has become more and more proficient.

At dinner that day, the empress sent Shi Fang to have dinner with Li Yi.

In the past, because of Li Yi's withdrawn personality, the emperor and empress seldom invited him to have meals with him, but after Shifang returned to the palace, the crown prince accompanied him more often.

"Nowadays the heat in the capital is getting worse, and His Majesty and I plan to arrange for the Queen Mother and the two princesses to escape the summer heat in a garden in the suburbs of Beijing." The queen said to the two: "There are many affairs in the court, and your father and emperor can't leave, so this time The two of you escort the queen mother and princess to the outskirts of Beijing."

As soon as the queen's words fell, the emperor hurriedly echoed: "Yi'er rarely leaves the palace, and now you are accompanied by your elder brother. You two can stay in the garden for a few more days before coming back."

Li Yi should be busy when he heard the words.

Naturally, Shifang had no reason to shirk, and secretly took this opportunity to relax with Li Yi.

On the day of departure, the queen mother called Shi Fang to her carriage.

Li Yi didn't dare to compete with the queen mother, so he could only reluctantly ride with the third prince.

The two princesses were in another carriage.

"Ai's family heard that Yi'er has been clinging to you every day these days, but it has disturbed you forever." The queen mother looked at Shifang kindly, and said with a smile: "You should tell Ai's family that this time you return to the palace Has Yi'er changed?"

Shi Fang smiled faintly, his usually cold face unconsciously tinged with a little tenderness, and said: "Your Highness is not very gregarious, and he was very lonely when he was young, and it seems that he has not changed much now that he has grown up."

The queen mother nodded and said: "Yi'er's temperament is just like your father's. He was very lonely when he was young, and he was cold until he grew up, and he didn't like to socialize with others. It wasn't until he met the queen that he softened his temper. , but still not very patient with others."

Shifang couldn't help feeling a little emotional when he heard the queen mother mention the past of the emperor and queen.When His Majesty met the queen, his withdrawn temperament was completely cured, but Li Yi's marriage has not been settled for a long time, and he doesn't know when he will wait...

"Ai Jia remembers that when your father first met the queen, he used to be deceptive." The queen mother couldn't help but smile when she thought about the past, and said: "The queen is open-minded, not as narrow-minded as he is, probably not. Don't be fooled by him."

Over the years, the Empress Dowager has always been in a good relationship. The Empress Dowager said so, but she was gratified inside and out.

"So, Your Highness is not quite the same as Your Majesty." Shi Fang heard the words, "Your Highness has softened a lot now, and he is not as sharp-edged as he was when he was young. He is not as thoughtful as His Majesty, and he doesn't like to be with others." I care about it, but now I am afraid that he will suffer from others."

Affected by others?

The Empress Dowager's expression was very complicated.

Although she devotes herself to worshiping the Buddha on weekdays and seldom walks around the palace, she still knows her grandson somewhat.

Besides, what kind of temperament is the crown prince, not only her, but also no one in the whole palace doesn't know?

Shifang would actually be genuinely worried that the prince would suffer from others?

"Shifang..." The queen mother patted the back of Shifang's hand, and said earnestly: "You are too used to him. You were like this when you were young. You give him whatever he wants. Now that he has grown up, you can't Leave him alone."

Shifang smiled lightly, thinking that he had nothing to give to the other party now.

The only thing he can do is to spend as much time with Li Yi as possible before becoming a monk.

In the other carriage, Li Yi kept frowning and remained silent.

The third prince, who was riding with him, had a lively temper, but today he just stayed with Li Yi, the "sawed gourd", and he was choked up all the way.

"Second brother, are you worried that the imperial grandmother will expose your true face in front of your elder brother?" the young man asked with a smile.

Ever since Shifang was "seriously" warned by Li Yi on the day Shifang returned to the palace, the third prince has not dared to "do anything wrong" in the past few days, but he has suppressed himself enough.However, he didn't dare to go to the East Palace to provoke Shifang, but he often "inquired" about things in the East Palace.

Regarding the "two faces" of His Royal Highness, the third prince has long known clearly.

"Second brother, aren't you worried at all?" Seeing Li Yi ignoring him, the young man asked relentlessly, "Did you get angry with the imperial grandmother in advance and ask her to keep it a secret from your elder brother?"

Li Yi glanced at him, and said coldly: "Shut your mouth, or you'll get out and run after."

The third prince shrank his neck when he heard the words, but he didn't seem to be particularly afraid of Li Yi.

"Elder brother is in the carriage at the back. If you throw me down, I can sit in elder brother's carriage." The third prince said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yi glanced at him again, and the chill in that gaze was a little stronger than before.

The third prince said pitifully: "Everyone in the palace now says that you are gentle and talkative in front of your elder brother. Everyone is a brother, so why can't you treat me better? In the end, when you act good to your elder brother, you still have to imitate me." Got me?"

Everyone in the palace knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was cold and indifferent, serious and unsmiling.

As for the third prince, Li You, he has a cheerful temperament, and what he is best at is being good-looking in front of the empress and His Highness the crown prince.

It's a pity that no one in the palace accepts the trick of the third prince acting like a good boy.

If the empress doesn't eat it, Li Yi won't even eat it.

"Li You, are you sure Gu won't fight with you?" Li Yiyu warned.

His Royal Highness is calling people by first and last names, which indicates that danger is coming...

Li You accepted it as soon as he was ready, and sat obediently by the side, not daring to say anything.

After the carriage arrived at the summer garden, Li Yi got out of the carriage first, and went to the queen mother's carriage to help the queen mother down.

The queen mother glanced at Li Yi and the third prince, and said, "Let Shifang accompany Ai's family and the princess to go to the Buddhist hall to burn incense first. You two brothers don't have that patience, so you don't have to follow. Go and see everyone's residence first. It’s not appropriate to take care of it in advance.”

Li Yi subconsciously glanced at Shifang, then nodded yes.

"Second brother..." The two brothers stood in place and looked at the backs of Shifang, the queen mother and others, and the third prince couldn't help but said, "I finally know why you cling to elder brother all day long."

Li Yi was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at the third prince with a complicated expression, a hint of guilt flashed almost invisible in his eyes.

The third prince lowered his voice mysteriously, approached Li Yi and said, "Is it because you have done too many bad things, and you want your brother to plead for you more in front of the Bodhisattva after he returns to Qingyin Temple?"

Hearing this, Li Yi took a deep breath, and slowly closed and opened his eyes.

The third prince instinctively sensed the danger and ran away.

While running, he shouted, "Second brother, spare me..."

However, he is only thirteen or fourteen years old now, and his stature is far less than Li Yi's tall and straight. As soon as he raised his leg and took two steps, Li Yi grabbed his back by the neck.

"Second brother..."

"I dare not..."

"Cough...excuse me..."

Not far away, Shifang heard the movement and looked back.

Li Yi was walking towards the distance with one arm around the third prince's neck.

Shi Fang looked relieved, and once again sighed in his heart, "These two brothers have such a good relationship"!
