On the morning of the next day, Zhao Chen received an order from the palace.
He said that the emperor wanted to summon himself in the Lizheng Hall.
Lizheng Hall is the queen's bedroom. It is better to say that it is the queen who wants to see her if she is summoned by the emperor.
After cleaning up, Zhao Chen rode his foal to the palace.
After three months of military life, Zhao Chen's body has basically recovered almost the same.
Daily horse riding is now no problem.
The eunuchs had been waiting at the gate of the palace. When they saw Zhao Chen riding a foal, they came over with a wink and led the horse for Zhao Chen.
Although Zhao Chen is not the most powerful official, anyone can see his deep holy favor.
How can such a celebrity behave in the palace if he is not pleased?
After riding on the chariot given by the emperor before, Zhao Chen came all the way outside the Lizheng Hall.
The eunuch in Lizheng Hall was very clever to report to Zhao Chen.
Soon, news came that Zhao Chen would enter the palace.
It is still the simple palace in my impression, Empress Changsun is wearing ordinary clothes and looking towards the door.
The eunuchs and palace maids who were not serving in the hall were driven out.
Lao Li stood there, his back facing the palace gate, but his ears were kept standing up and listening to the movements at the door from time to time.
"Auntie." Zhao Chen's figure appeared at the gate of Lizheng Hall.
Queen Changsun showed joy on her face, and walked to Zhao Chen in a few steps, holding Zhao Chen's hand tightly.
He didn't say anything, but he just patted Zhao Chen's hands, feet, and other places from time to time.
Before seeing Zhao Chen's uncomfortable appearance, Empress Changsun let out a long sigh and smiled and said, "It's fine if it's okay, it's fine if it's okay!"
"I worry my aunt. Zhao Chen is fine outside, and General Niu is also very well, eating full and dressing warmly." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
In the eyes of Empress Changsun, Zhao Chen only saw a strong concern without any falsehood.
What is Empress Changsun’s identity? She said she was a county magistrate, but what does this count in front of the dignified queen?
Zhao Chen truly regarded Empress Changsun as his relative.
"No matter how good your child is outside, he is not as thin as his family. Look, he is all thinner." Empress Changsun complained, as if she was teaching her disobedient son a lesson.
Zhao Chen smiled, not knowing how to answer this sentence.
"My aunt looks younger and younger recently, and she will definitely live forever." Zhao Chen and Empress Changsun said.
"You kid, you have been out for so long and haven't learned anything else. The skill of flattery has improved a lot. If you don't grow old, you won't be an old monster." Empress Changsun pulled Zhao Chen in, not at all.
taboo.
Li Shimin felt a little ache in his head.
Why did I think about summoning Zhao Chen in Lizheng Hall?
Isn’t this not giving yourself a chance to speak?
Seeing where Zhao Chen and Empress Changsun were talking and laughing, Li Shimin felt very enjoyable.
But Li Shimin just listened with his ears on his back.
Empress Changsun was so worried about Zhao Chen that she didn't even dare to sleep at night.
Now that Zhao Chen has finally come back, she also asked her to talk to Zhao Chen well.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Chen is here." Empress Changsun pulled Zhao Chen, walked to Li Shimin's side, and whispered to him.
Li Shimin turned around and glanced at Zhao Chen.
Finally fell on Zhao Chen's face.
"Well, after a few months of going out, I feel more energetic, good!" Li Shimin said indifferently.
When Zhao Chen heard Lao Li's words, his face turned dark.
What does it mean? I haven’t even been able to kiss you, just for your order.
If I hadn't had some skills, I would probably have already grown grass on the grave now.
"It depends entirely on Your Majesty's gift, otherwise Zhao Chen should get married no matter what, right?" Zhao Chen said to Li Shimin sarcastically.
Li Shimin's expression collapsed immediately.
I praised this boy very well, this boy actually said that he was so sarcastic?
What does it mean to get married?
Didn’t it just postpone your wedding? Isn’t it just that I’ll make up for you?
Is it no more interesting to make achievements for me, the Tang Dynasty?
Li Shimin was very puzzled and even a little annoyed.
"You kid can't be a little ambitious. Is it a big deal to get married and have children? Shouldn't men have lofty ambitions?" Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with Zhao Chen's answer and scolded him lightly.
Although Old Li was the emperor, he obviously would not be like Niu Jinda, and he would always wave his fists at him.
Moreover, having Empress Changsun here, it is not a big deal to scold Lao Li.
After all, the dog fighter...
No, it’s obviously arguing!
"Has you never read a book?" With just one sentence, Lao Li was stunned at that time.
This kid went to Songzhou and originally thought he would be beaten by Niu Jinda, so his mouth was a little nicer.
Who knew that the second sentence when I came back to meet him said that I had never read a book.
Have I never read a book?
I have read the books and can burn you, the little bastard.
"I have read books and have read a lot of books!" Li Shimin said to Zhao Chen word by word.
The teeth were already chewing in the dark.
Empress Changsun thought the emperor's answer was a bit strange.
Zhao Chen has questioned you like this, why do you still answer like this?
It shouldn't...
"Then you must have read this book to dogs!"
"you!"
Zhao Chen's next sentence made Lao Li jump up on the spot.
Queen Changsun's face turned black immediately.
Why is this child speechless?
Could it be that they are infected with bad habits in the army?
It must be true. Before, Zhao Chen was obviously a gentle and elegant young man. After three months of going to the army, he became like this.
Thinking of this, Empress Changsun was not ready to speak for Lao Li.
If he hadn't insisted on letting Zhao Chen follow the army, such an accident wouldn't have happened.
This is called self-inflicting!
"Book of Rites·Great Learning": "In ancient times, those who wanted to make clear virtues of the world first govern the country; those who wanted to make the country first, they would first consolidate their families; those who wanted to make the family first cultivate their bodies; those who wanted to make the body cultivate their bodies first; those who wanted to make the body cultivate their bodies first;
, first correct the heart; if you want to correct the heart, first sincere the intention; if you want to be sincere, first achieve your knowledge, and achieve knowledge in the study of things. Only then will you know the truth, know the truth before you know it, and then your mind is sincere, and then your mind is correct.
Only when the mind is upright can one cultivate one's body; only when the body is cultivated can one's family be united; only when the family is united can one's country be governed; only when the country is governed can one's world be peaceful.”
"I'm not married yet, so you can ask me to set up some lofty ambitions. Isn't this contrary to the words of sages?"
"Besides, if you hadn't forced me to go, wouldn't he feel uncomfortable if I hugged my wife and sleep?" Zhao Chen complained to Li Shimin in a silly manner.
Zhao Chen’s dream in this life is to live a life of a warm kang with his wife and children.
