In the emperor's bedroom.
"Hahaha, Guanyin maid, the King of Zhao molested Zheng Yunxiu of the Zheng family. Zheng Fengchi entered the Imperial Palace yesterday afternoon to complain to me. In the future, the King of Zhao will definitely make the women of the capital tremble in fear.”
"This time, I finally have something on him.”
Li Shimin laughed loudly in front of Empress Zhangsun and scolded Li Yuanjing.
In his heart, he was still praising the King of Zhao for his demeanor. After all, all the men of the Li family were lecherous.
The only problem was that Zhao Wang was only eight years old.
"Your Majesty, that's impossible. Yuan Jing is a righteous person. Did Zheng Fengchi and Yuan Jing have a conflict and falsely accuse you? He's only eight years old.”
In any case, Empress Zhangsun had no doubt about Li Yuanjing, and Li Shimin felt hurt because of this.
With all the witnesses present, would the Guanyin maidservant not believe that the King of Zhao had committed a crime?
Yesterday afternoon, Li Shimin went out of the palace to visit the commoners in disguise and even stayed in their homes for a night. He wanted to sympathize with their sufferings and reported to the Guanyin maid when he returned to the palace this morning.
The Guanyin maidservant refused to believe that he had gone to sympathize with the sufferings of the people and thought that he had gone to the Consort of Qi.
Li Shi Min felt terrible.
Now that someone had accused the King of Zhao of molesting a commoner girl, Empress Zhangsun stood firmly on the King's side.
He didn't trust Li Shi Min at all.
Injured!
Empress Zhangsun naturally knew her husband's schemes and hoped that he would stop after sending Consort Qi out of the palace.
"Your Majesty, you should learn from Yuanjing's filial piety.”Empress Zhangsun felt that Li Yuanjing had done the right thing regarding Li Yuan.
She didn't want her sons and daughters to learn from Li Shimin.
"Humph!" Li Shi Min snorted, expressing his dissatisfaction.
A eunuch walked in and reported,""Your Majesty, Empress, the Eight Virtuous Kings request an audience.”
"Announce!"
Li Shimin wanted to scold Li Yuanjing to vent his anger.
However, when he remembered how much Empress Zhangsun favored Li Yuanjing, he decided to spoil and kill him.
"Greetings Imperial Brother, Greetings Imperial Sister-in-law." Li Yuanjing had just arrived from Ye Ting Palace. The luxurious and comfortable Emperor's bedroom was a stark contrast to Yongning Lane.
In an instant, Empress Zhangsun pulled him over with a smile and ordered,""Prince Zhao must not have eaten. You guys go to the imperial kitchen and make some delicious food.”
After the palace maid left.
Li Shimin said sourly,"I've never seen a Guanyin maid so concerned about me."”
Empress Zhangsun rolled her eyes at him.'You're wandering around. The women who care about you can line up from the Emperor's bedroom to the Vermilion Bird Gate.'
"Yuanjing, as the Eight Virtuous Kings, you should be helping the country. This time, you actually took advantage of the daughter of the Zheng family.”
Li Shi Min's tone was very scary, which scared Li Yuan Jing.
Li Yuanjing threw himself into Empress Zhangsun's arms and shouted,""Imperial Sister-in-law, save me. The Zheng Manor's matter is all a misunderstanding.”
As expected!
Empress Zhangsun was furious. She was the tiger daughter of a general, and her aura was not inferior to Li Shimin's. She said,"Your Majesty, we haven't even investigated this matter clearly. Why do you think that it's Yuanjing's fault?”
She was full of maternal instincts, like a hen protecting her chicks.
Li Shi Min saw the little wimp burrowing into his wife's arms and his eyes were burning with anger.
F * ck!
Li Yuanjing was still in Empress Zhangsun's arms. He winked at Li Shimin, indicating that he was not only taking advantage of Zheng Yunxiu, but also Second Sister-in-law.
Li Shi Min stomped his foot in anger.
"Imperial Brother, Imperial Sister-in-law, just now I was walking in the Inner Palace and walked into an alley.”Li Yuanjing came out of her arms and brought up serious matters.
Li Shi Min was very sensitive. His face immediately darkened as he knew what he was going to say.
"Yuanjing, eat something first. Later, go and play with Gao Ming, Green Sparrow, and the others.”Empress Zhangsun deliberately changed the topic and guessed what that alley meant.
The palace maid served the pastries, and Li Yuanjing was eating.
The atmosphere in the hall was frozen.
" When I arrived at the courtyard, I happened to see a palace maid bullying Eldest Sister-in-law and Wanshun. The palace maid asked them to do the laundry."”
"If they don't wash, the palace maids won't give them food.”
"Sister-in-law's personality is like water. She didn't resist. Instead, Wanshun argued with the palace maid.”
"Wanshun is the same age as Yuanjing, but she has to chop wood, fetch water, start a fire and cook every day.”
Sister-in-law, Wanshun. Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun hadn't heard these two words for half a year, because the Emperor couple had deliberately forgotten this unbearable history.
"Enough!"
Li Shimin shouted,"I will send people to Yongning Alley to feed them, dress them well, and reward them with palace maids for them to command."”
Empress Zhangsun nodded. There was only so much she and the Emperor could do.
"Imperial brother, they don't need to be well-dressed, they just want freedom.”
Li Yuanjing expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Freedom is impossible!" Li Shimin remembered that if he had not killed Li Jiancheng, his daughter and wife would have ended up like Zheng Guanyin.
He must not be soft-hearted when dealing with the wife and daughter of a guilty minister, and he must not let them go.
Li Yuanjing did not expect him to be so determined. He said in a negotiating tone,""Imperial brother, if you're willing, I'll exchange those thirty to forty thousand strings for the mother and daughter's freedom.”
Li Shi Min shook his head and pressed on his shoulder,"I'm not afraid of a single woman. However, if there were people who wanted to rebel against Zheng Guanyin and her daughter, they would use the excuse of revenge for the hidden crown prince.”
"The Great Tang will fall into chaos!"
Li Yuanjing could hear the sincerity in his words. Empress Zhangsun, who was beside him, couldn't bear it and advised,"Now that the political situation is stable, Your Majesty, why don't you let them move around in the Imperial Palace?”
Li Shi Min shook his head firmly.
What he was most worried about was that Zheng Guanyin and Li Wanshun would constantly remind him of the countless evil deeds of killing his brothers.
If Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Lizhi saw Li Wanshun, they would definitely feel awkward. After all, they were siblings who had become sworn enemies.
Also, according to his understanding, his niece Li Wanshun had a strong personality. It was hard to guarantee that she would not do something radical to Li Chengqian and the others for revenge.
Locking Li Wanshun and Zheng Guanyin in Yongning Alley was the best choice for everyone.
Li Shi Min chose to seal this past.
"Imperial Brother!"
Li Yuanjing wanted to persuade him, but he was interrupted by Li Shimin's shout,"Men, please escort King Zhao out."
The guards rushed in, and Li Yuanjing had no choice but to leave.
In the main hall.
Li Shi Min watched as Li Yuan Jing was led away by the guards.
"Your Majesty, are we really not going to let her go?”Empress Zhangsun was silent. She felt that Yuan Jing was right. Although releasing the people was not atonement, they should not have any more connections with each other.
"In another fifteen years, Zhen will choose a young talent to marry Wanshun.”
Li Shimin remembered his cute and proud niece who had stuck to him.
Only time could erase her hatred.
Empress Zhangsun said nothing.
How many fifteen years did a woman have? After fifteen years, Li Wanshun would be twenty-three years old.
She would miss out on many wonderful things in Yongning Alley.
......
"Li Er is really hard to deal with!"
"There are still six days until the end of the mission. Although there will be no punishment if you don't complete it, it will be a pity to miss the reward.”
"I have to get the reward and increase my strength.”
He suddenly thought of an idea.
Using the " Night of a Hundred Ghosts " to make Li Shimin feel guilty so that Zheng Guanyin and her daughter could see the light of day again.
He thought as he walked.
Arriving at the imperial garden, they were surrounded by birds and flowers.
He could also hear the sounds of Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Lizhi, and the other children playing.
In the morning, he didn't eat much at Yongning Alley, nor did he eat much at Li Shiming's place. He saw the stone table in the garden from afar, which was filled with pastries. He walked over, and then his expression became very ugly.
The floor was a mess, and the table was a mess.
Pastries, melon seeds, fruits, and dried meat were scattered everywhere. There were peels and smashed pastries on the ground.
He could vaguely see that the pastries on the ground were cherry pastries made by the imperial kitchen.
What a waste!
Obviously, the princes and princesses treated the food as props to play with each other.
"Don't run!"
From afar, a five-year-old girl ran over. Behind her was a six-year-old fatty. He was holding an osmanthus cake in his hand and was obviously going to smash it on the girl.
"Imperial Uncle, save me!"
The little girl had fair skin and bright eyes. She was the princess of the Tang Empire, Li Lizhi.
She hid behind Li Yuanjing and looked at her brother Li Tai in horror.
"Uncle, Lizhi threw melon seed shells at me just now. I have to teach her a lesson.”After Li Tai finished speaking, he chased after Li Lizhi.
These two rascals who wasted food circled around Li Yuanjing. Behind them, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Cheng Yang, and the others chased after them to watch the show.
No one expected Li Yuanjing to slap Li Tai to the ground with one slap. He shouted,"There is a drought in the east of the river, and there is no food to eat. You actually wasted food and insisted on helping your father deal with you.”
This shocking change frightened everyone.
Both of them were children. Li Yuanjing was three years older than the other and was 1.4 meters tall. He beat Li Tai up in an instant.
The surrounding princes and princesses stopped him.
Li Yuanjing punched Li Tai again and again until his face turned red.
"Sob, sob, sob. Imperial Uncle, I was wrong."
" Don't hit my face!!!"
"The people of Hedong don't have food to eat, so why don't they eat cherry crispy cakes?”
As soon as Li Tai said this, Li Yuanjing angrily punched him a few more times. He did not activate any of Xiang Yu's powers, so it did not hurt much.
He remembered that they were both from the royal family. Princess Li Wanshun, who was in trouble, worked hard every day to cut firewood, while King Li Tai of Wei wasted food and did not know how precious it was.
His heart ached even more for his niece!
"Hey!"
Li Yuanjing sighed heavily and said to the princes and princesses,""In the future, I'll beat up whoever wastes food again. Li Tai will be the end.”
The group of ignorant children nodded.
