"Wang Xiaoyang, this is absolutely impossible. The prince is not a fool. He dares to go against my father? Is he too brave?"
"I can't help you if you don't believe me. After all, he is your brother, and you will definitely protect him. However, Your Highness, King Wei, if you please the emperor so much, can you give me some benefits?"
Wang Xiaoyang is a few years older than him, so he should be at the age when his love begins.
What does he mean by asking for benefits? A woman?
This is absolutely impossible, he is looking for a future, and nothing happens to his eunuchs and maids, otherwise he will be finished.
Thinking of this, his face darkened and he said: "As a little prince, I have no power or money, so what benefit can I give you? If you want to climb a high tree like Zhang Qiuhua, I won't stop you."
This kid is getting more and more courageous, and it is obvious that he is not taken seriously.
Wang Xiaoyang sighed and said, "I'll forget it if I don't give it. What's the matter?"
At this time, I heard a burst of laughter coming from outside. When I heard carefully, it was no one else but my sister, Princess Changle.
Why is she here? She has always been close to the prince and has always ignored him.
"Fourth brother, fourth brother, what are you busy with?"
Princess Changle's sweet screams didn't reach the ground, and Li Tai hurriedly went out to greet her.
Women in ancient times were really pitiful. They had no means of birth control and had children one after another like harvesting crops.
Li Tai was one year younger than Li Chengqian, and Princess Changle was one year younger than him. Empress Changsun gave birth to one child a year, just like giving birth to piglets without restraint.
This also illustrates a problem. Li Shimin and Changsun Wuyou have a deep love for each other, and she would not be able to have a child without the jade dew.
"My sister is such a rare visitor. Why would you want to come here?"
"Fourth brother, I heard from my father that you wrote an inspirational poem. My sister admires it very much. Come and have a look."
flatter!
He had written some pretty good poems before, but she was never so up to speed.
"It's just a casual recitation, nothing special. Sister, please come in."
Li Tai didn't know why he was looking for him. Anyway, there must be something going on.
Sure enough, Princess Changle just entered the study and said, "Fourth brother, my sister has something to ask of you."
Li Tai smiled slightly and asked, "What's the matter? As long as I can help you, I won't hesitate."
"Fourth brother, sister, I heard that my father wanted to reward you with several bodhisattvas, but you refused?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
Li Tai couldn't understand what this sister meant. If she wanted to talk to Queen Changsun, why would she go around such a big circle to find him?
"Fourth brother, why don't you refuse my father's will? I heard that all those foreign girls are good at singing and dancing, and they are very beautiful."
"Hmph, do you think women are lovable only if they are beautiful? A person should look at his inner beauty. Sister, you are asking this question without any clue, what do you really think?"
Princess Changle shook his arm and said: "Fourth brother, I want two Kunlun slaves, but my father doesn't agree. Please help me."
A girl is just as good as a Bodhisattva, but why should she be a Kunlun slave? Doesn’t the princess have eunuchs and maids in her family?
"I just said it was the gust of wind that brought you here. It turned out to be for this. Sister, if you want a servant to tell your mother, how can she refuse to agree?"
Princess Changle said dissatisfied: "You think I haven't tried it? The queen mother said that the princess's mansion has many eunuchs and maids, and it is useless to have these foreign male servants."
"Sister, you'd better go find the prince. The prince's words carry weight."
"Looking for him? How can he look like a prince? Now all the civil and military ministers of the dynasty say that your words are imperial edicts for the father. Just do your sister a favor."
Li Tai asked her softly: "What's wrong with the prince? Sister, it's okay for others to talk behind the scenes, but you are his biological sister."
"What's wrong with my biological sister? Has he considered my feelings?"
A good princess palace does not have more maids, but domestic slaves. According to regulations, men are not allowed to enter the palace except their own relatives.
She must not only have suffered a loss in front of Empress Changsun, but Li Chengqian would not help her either.
It is somewhat immoral for a princess to raise a slave, and he is not married yet.
"I am a prince with neither power nor unpopularity, so my words are useless."
Li Tai continued to slap haha.d
The palace is unlike ordinary people's homes, with intrigues and undercurrents. One more thing is worse than one less thing. What's more, Li Shimin has just promised to reinstate the demoted official Qin Qiong, and he will definitely be unhappy if he makes further demands.
"Fourth brother, you are being pretentious when you say this. Didn't you ask him to reinstate General Qin, who was demoted back to his hometown? Why do you still look down on yourself and say you don't have enough face?"
"These are two different things. General Qin made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty just because he took a neutral stance during the Xuanwu Gate Incident and did not even participate in the coup. Why did he get an unwarranted charge for this? Even my father regretted it.
Yes, I just expressed my father’s feelings.”
When Princess Changle saw that he wouldn't let go, she got angry: "If you don't want to help, just forget it. There's no need to explain it to me."
After saying that, she got up and left, completely ignoring Li Tai's efforts to keep her.
After walking a few steps, she turned back and said, "If you don't want to help me, don't expect me to help you in the future."
"Sister, are you angry with brother? It's not that I won't help you, it's just that my words are useless."
"How do you know if it works without trying it? In your eyes, am I inferior to someone with a foreign surname? You were not like this in the past. You have changed and become bad."
Once again, someone mentioned that he was different from the previous Li Tai, and Li Tai felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
He borrowed Li Tai's body to resurrect his soul. No matter how he tried to make himself closer to his original self, after all, he still carried the thoughts of his descendants who were more than a thousand years old.
"Sister, you can't say that. My brother just thinks that using Kunlun slaves in your house will affect your reputation. If a foreign man lives in the house of a princess who has not yet left the palace, can you still marry if word spreads about it?"
Li Tai tried his best to excuse himself.
He didn't want to offend anyone in the palace, he had to create a kind and progressive image for himself.
When Princess Changle heard this, she stopped and asked him: "Why can't I just use a few Kunlun slaves? Why can I just hide the monks in the East Palace?"
"How do you know? Sister, you don't dare to say such nonsense."
Princess Changle said disdainfully: "Isn't it just because he is the prince? The prince can do whatever he wants?"
Another person came to accuse the prince of bad behavior. Li Tai advised: "Sister, you know that it is taboo for you to say this to the prince? He is the successor of my father. If you offend her, you will suffer from it in the future.
Live your life."
"He is the prince and I am the princess, both born from the same mother. I am still afraid that he will fail. Besides, he is the prince now and will be the emperor in the future? I don't think so. Is there anything in this world that remains unchanged?"
