Chapter 19 Lick the calf
The Li family's house in the capital city had only three courtyards, and there were only three or two servants left behind. Li Chengping stepped back and quickly entered the study with Li Qi.
As expected, Emperor Yongde's back, like a tall and lonely pine, stood in the room and was waiting. His ordinary gray landscape and ink were also full of heroic spirits. Just standing in the room was quite powerful.
"Where is this?" Emperor Yongde found that there was a greasy stain on Li Qi's mouth. Li Qi, who was discovered, quickly wiped off a mouthful of oil with his sleeve.
Emperor Yongde: "..."
Now I have lost my mind to hug my younger son.
"I ate another roast chicken in Haiyantang on the way." Li Cheng smiled helplessly, and he really could go to the sky for eating Li Qi.
"Yes! Only when he is hungry can he not make trouble." Emperor Yongde was really helpless with Li Qi, especially if he could eat it, it was a problem caused by the fetus.
Li Cheng looked at the sorrow in his father's eyes and comforted him: "Don't worry, Father, the medicine bath has not fallen."
Li Qi was drugged since his womb. The alchemist said that this medicine combines poison with chronic poison and is called "Fate-born". The beautiful name means its tragic ending.
This poison is colorless and tasteless. It only needs to fall into the meal in an instant and it can be hydrolyzed. It cannot be detected by the silver needle test. It will only take a woman to get pregnant poison.
This shows that someone has secretly attacked her since her mother was pregnant.
The poison of the foetus allowed Li Qi in the fetus to continuously grow and erode the vitality of the mother's body. It was not until the fetus was too large and difficult to give birth that the chronic poison occurred at this time.
If the mother is weak and unable to give birth smoothly, even if she is lucky, the mother will be unable to recover from the uterus and die of severe blood loss after childbirth. If the son is lucky enough to come to the world, he will be weak and unsolvable throughout his life.
This extremely vicious medicine is the forbidden technique of the Southern Chu Mangang. Emperor Yongde secretly investigated for more than ten years but failed to know where it came from and how it could be solved.
The fierce battle in the palace did not end because of the loss of the queen and the defeat of the prince. In the end, the two brothers gave up their status as legitimate sons, but the fierce battle did not stop.
Unable to find a solution to this forbidden technique, Emperor Yongde could only follow Taizu's legacy in heartache and let the two children return to the Li family and stay away from the palace ban.
At this point, his harem no longer accepted new people. He also gave up his two children's real names and changed their ancestors' generation. The children after Li Qi were named after Li.
This also made the two children really the legitimate son of Emperor Yongde, regardless of whether the name was on the royal jade letter.
"You two have suffered." Emperor Yongde reached out to touch Li Cheng, but when he saw him bowing and paying a favor, he had to stop.
He was nearly forty years old and admired him? Yes! If Empress Li had Lingding, he would blame him for his two children who were together for a long time. As the highest imperial power, he could not properly take care of his children.
"My son is not working hard, he is much more free outside the palace." Li Cheng replied respectfully.
"Yes! I also like my father outside the palace." Li Qiwo went to Emperor Yongde and hugged him without hesitation.
This is the mother's former residence. Emperor Yongde said that they have no monarch and ministers, only father and son.
The first prince had few descendants, with only two princes and three princesses. He succeeded the former Queen Mother Li as Shu Concubine. In order to ensure the peaceful and stable growth of Emperor Yongde, he did not seek feudalism when he became an adult, but only wanted to establish a house and live in a separate place as a leisurely prince.
Emperor Yongde and Empress Li were young couples, and they also made an appointment to live and die together. Unexpectedly, the prince Yu Chunshou fell off the horse and fell injured. He didn't know how many imperial doctors were killed but could not survive. The candidate for succession fell on Emperor Yongde.
The first emperor and the first empress, who were over 50 years old, were sad about the death of the prince. In less than three months, they died due to heart disease and won the reputation of deep love.
If it weren't for only one prince, there would have been another bloody battle in the throne. The throne came too suddenly, and Emperor Yongde and Concubine Shu were caught off guard. It can be said that they had bitten the bullet and took the throne to the throne.
Li Cheng spent most of his childhood in this house. Seeing his parents' affectionate and harmonious voices, but when he entered the palace, the ministers began to fill the harem with the reason of the long-lasting imperial heir. Although Emperor Yongde kept the position of the queen for his mother, he became the target of public criticism.
The ancestral minister leaked out a ancestral tomb, and how could the ministers swallow it after another ancestral minister? Shouldn’t it be the checks and balances of the harem in the previous dynasty?
If the harem is filled with three thousand beauties, there must be dozens of beauties. Moreover, the new emperor ascended the throne without any concubines and only one queen. How can some people with ulterior motives not be called to be ready to move?
The Li family was pure and good, and he didn't like the court to fight with the harem. Moreover, he had no intention of the throne, so he asked Emperor Yongde to marry the daughter of the Li family to show his loyalty. But he knew that human calculations were not as good as God's calculations, so he had today's ending.
Li Cheng, who witnessed his mother's tragic situation, knew that only by hiding his edge and living like a slutty child could he remove the hearts of those people.
Emperor Yongde took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve bag. After the bamboo fragrance spread in the study room after opening, he raised a malicious smile on his lips, and asked if he wanted to drink it.
Li Cheng: "..." Is this to tempt him with what he gave?
So, Li Cheng opened the double-open cabinet door on the upper floor of the Box shelf, and the eight white porcelain bottles on both sides were blinded.
Emperor Yongde: "..."
Li Qi: "..."
As for being so arrogant?
OK! The wine came from the third brother kneeling.
The third brother had a bad match with his father. He gradually became more and more flirted with him when he was seven years old. The older the third brother was, the more cold he was towards his father. It was not only to save his life, but also to fight from the bottom of his heart that he didn't want to get too close to his father.
Grandfather said, "The third brother complained that his father did not take good care of his mother."
After hearing what the third brother secretly said to him by the window before entering the palace, Li Qi finally realized that his grandfather's family had been working for him for more than ten years, just to find an antidote for him.
Although I still can't see what the third brother is planning, I only know that the third brother and grandfather are trying their best to save his life. Even the two uncles are looking for prescriptions and medicines, hoping that he can get rid of the legacy of fate as soon as possible.
But it seems that Yuansheng is not bad! Only when someone eats and poisons him, and when he returns home, he vomits and pulls, he can know which food he can't touch!
The new poison cannot affect it, and it is obvious that it can refuse the table. How great is this!
"My third brother wants to drink with his father?" Li Qi pretended not to understand and quickly put on three chairs and porcelain cups. There was not much time for the family to get together well, so he didn't want to waste it on arrogance.
Emperor Yongde was satisfied with Li Qi's expression and sat on the little slap and demonstrated to Li Cheng with his eyebrows.
Li Cheng struggled for a long time before sitting down, comforting himself that he could not refuse Li Qi.
"My father said that this is the taste of mother?" Li Qi only had the painting of Xiaoxiang bamboo forest playing the piano, and the rest were mostly retelling and thinking out of thin air.
"Yes!" Emperor Yongde sipped the glass with a light drink. "Xiaoxiang Bamboo Forest in the west of the city is the farm where your mother's queen dowry. She said that bamboo tube wine is the most nourishing, and she always spends a lot of effort to cultivate wine in the bamboo forest. From time to time, I can only drink wine by the pot."
Only in front of two children can he call himself me. The word "I" was the beginning of losing Queen Li. He was not happy at all. What's the use of losing his favorite world?
"How does this wine taste like compared to my mother?" Li Qi thought about looking for his mother's shadow in the wine.
Emperor Yongde stroked Li Qi who was lying on the edge of the table. "Silly child! Your mother's wine is drinking from longing, Yu Li drinks drunk from nostalgia, and what he drinks from you and your brother is worry."
We can't watch our brothers grow up, we just hope that the news they handed them will be safe.
After Emperor Yongde's words, Li Cheng was shaken in his heart, and his mouth was still shattered. "It seems that my mother has drunk a lot of soup."
Emperor Yongde raised his lips. "It's mostly your mother who feeds me my mist soup."
Queen Li still remembers every frown and smile, not to mention that the stars between the two children are similar to Queen Li.
Li Chengsi and his mother also smiled warmly. "Yes! Mothers often say that children should grow up through praise in order to not be afraid of adversity."
"That third brother always scolds me to death! He doesn't praise me much." Li Qi quickly added.
"Don't I scold me? Or should I ask the court officials to scold me? Otherwise, what happened after I praised me last time?"
Li Qi was timid in a flash. "It's better for the third brother to scold me! If you want to send me to the court guard again, you may not be able to get out."
The previous time I joined the Tingwei, I was full of Li Cheng praising him for "Cuju has made progress!" So Li Qi, who was overjoyed, kicked a long distance and accurately smashed into the ancestral temple, destroying 108 lanterns of immortality, and almost burning the treasures of the ancestral temple and the ancestors.
Li Cheng raised his eyebrows and sneered. "You have the foresight."
How many court lieutenants really dared to whip the emperor's legitimate prince? Li Qi was really whipped more than a dozen times. If it weren't for the news from my father-in-law who had delivered it quickly, Li Qi might have been gone.
The four concubines of my father were not a good-looking person, and there was no clue to the insult to the mother. This is the terrible place. Now, in addition to their brothers, his father also has four princes and six princesses. It just so happens that the four concubines are one and one prince. How can the four concubines not have some tricks? He doesn't believe it anymore.
"Your third brother should be careful, don't always make trouble. Your third brother is made like an old man by you." Emperor Yongde was helpless and powerless to Li Cheng's cold face. He also missed the child with a smile in his eyes. Time always changed all this inadvertently.
The three of them were laughing and playing in this small yard, singing the wind and the moon, and not going back to the days of savoring calligraphy and painting together.
"Father! The third brother is so bad that he looks like you! No wonder the third brother." Li Qi took out a small bronze mirror from his arms, and the mirror reflected the bearded Emperor Yongde, whose bearded look seemed to gradually ignite in his firm and starry eyes.
"You really haven't been for a day to lose." Li Cheng indeed admitted that his father had a 80% appearance, but it was not the appearance he liked. He would rather be like Li Qi and have the eyes of his mother.
"What should I tell the truth?" Li Qi was still holding the mirror and wondering.
"It's okay! Go back to Xieyang and continue to be buried." Li Cheng announced the punishment without hesitation.
It is obvious that he still needs to be polite if he doesn't open the pot. Would he not know that Li Qi is thinking about matching up his conflict with his father?
Thinking of this, he and his father couldn't hide their tacit understanding and smiled.
Li Qi is old after all! He is no longer a child who can just make excuses for just one reason.
