Ying'er came out of the inner room after hearing the sound, picked up Li Zhi, and asked the lady: "Xiao Qiu, what's going on? You can't even look after a child?"
The maid named Xiaoqiu looked at Li Tai aggrievedly and said nothing.
"It's not her fault, it's because I spoke a little too loudly. Come on, Ninth Brother, let's go out to play with my brother?"
Li Tai said and stretched out his hand to him. The child's mouth dropped and he turned his head and looked away.
The two brothers were enemies from birth, and it was impossible to get along well with each other.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. This saying also applies to the children of the royal family.
Ying'er shook Li Zhi and said to Li Tai: "Children are timid, so don't speak loudly."
Li Tai was unhappy and said angrily: "How can I be louder? This kid is so timid. What will he do in the future? How can the country of the Tang Dynasty be reorganized?"
Ying'er's face darkened and she said, "Don't talk nonsense, King Wei. It would be terrible if the emperor hears it."
Li Tai sighed.
He knew that it was too early to say these words at this time. Who would have thought that Li Shimin, who had more than a dozen sons in total, would give the country of Tang Dynasty to this child in front of him in the future.
"Ying'er, why are you doing this? There are no outsiders here."
"It's even worse when there are outsiders. King Wei is good at everything, but he talks too casually."
How dare a girl teach him a lesson like this?
Li Tai got up and left angrily, frightening the maids in the room.
"Ying'er, you're in trouble, do you know that?"
"He is the emperor's favorite prince. You are finished now."
"Why don't you rush up and apologize?"
These voices came from behind, and Li Tai felt quite uncomfortable.
This girl Ying'er is becoming more and more presumptuous. Could it be that her attitude towards him has changed?
He slowed down as he walked, hoping that Ying'er would chase him out and apologize to him.
But he was still disappointed. On the contrary, it was Xiaoqiu who chased him out and whispered: "King Wei, please don't be angry. Ying'er is the supervisor of our palace, and she usually talks like this."
Li Tai then looked at her carefully and found that she was quite attractive.
"It's okay. She is usually spoiled by her mother. Xiaoqiu, how old are you this year?"
Xiaoqiu said: "Eighteen."
Li Taixiao asked: "This is strange. Didn't the new emperor release more than two thousand maids from the palace when he ascended the throne? Why are you still in the palace?"
Xiaoqiu replied: "Returning to King Wei, maybe it's because my queen likes me."
Does the Queen like it? Queen Changsun has always been more thoughtful in doing things. How could she do this?
Does this Xiaoqiu have a great background?
"What King Wei doesn't know is that I was originally from Prince Qi's palace. After Princess Gaoyang was born, I was sent to take care of her."
No wonder he didn't know Xiaoqiu. It turned out that she was from King Qi.
"Is that so, why is Princess Anyang missing?"
"She fell asleep, and then I..."
Li Tai smiled gently and said, "So, your job is quite important."
Xiaoqiu forced a smile and said, "I dare not. The Queen treats Anyang as if she were her own children, so we slaves must be even more dedicated."
Seeing Xiaoqiu's submissive look, Li Tai waved his hand and said, "Thank you for taking good care of my younger sister and brother. Go back."
"King Wei is not angry anymore?"
Xiaoqiu smiled and tilted her head slightly, looking particularly charming.
"Don't be angry. Besides, do I dare to be angry with her? She is the popular person behind my mother."
Xiaoqiu smiled and said: "Okay, I will definitely bring this to her."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
The taste of a mature woman is less green.
As expected, there was an extra sedan gifted by the emperor to the house, with a big yellow character "Yellow" printed on the yellow curtain.
In the palace, yellow is the emperor's special color. Li Shimin went to great lengths to bestow favors on him, but I don't know what others will say when they see it. Especially Li Chengqian and Li Ke.
When Zhou Ruhua saw him, he immediately came up to him and said, "The King of Wei is so lucky. He can ride a chariot to the court. This is very novel."
"Really? It won't be new if you get used to it. I can't help it, who made me so fat? My father feels sorry for me."
Mengyu also echoed: "Yes, yes, there are so many princes, and only King Wei enjoys such treatment. Not to mention you, even us slaves have a bright face."
"You should stop boasting. Your Majesty is so kind to me because you feel guilty."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Tai wished he could give himself two words.
How dare he say such treacherous words? If it reaches Li Shimin's ears, it will be troublesome.
Sure enough, Mengyu asked him: "King Wei, what do you mean by this? You are still gossiping after receiving favor?"
"Did I gossip? Mengyu, who are you with? You are mine, why don't you talk to me?"
Li Tai didn't look good.
Although she was specially given to him by Li Shimin, he must not tolerate her bad habits.
Once a gentleman and once a courtier, she was now his maid, so she had to stand on his side.
He said awkwardly: "I...I..., I don't mean anything else, I just think you shouldn't be disrespectful to the emperor."
Whether he respects the emperor or not is his business, what does it have to do with her?
Zhou Ruhua saw him losing his temper and hurriedly persuaded him: "Yes, His Majesty the King of Wei, your weight in front of the Emperor is not comparable to that of other princes. Why are you still dissatisfied with him?"
Li Tai hurriedly defended: "Am I dissatisfied? Give me ten courages and I wouldn't dare to be dissatisfied with the emperor. What happened to you two today? The spearheads are all aimed at me, which makes me very unhappy."
"You are not willing to listen to the advice that is offensive to your ears, are you? King Wei, go to bed early. You have to go to court early tomorrow."
Zhou Ruhua winked at him and said.
"Okay, tomorrow will be the first time in my life that I go to court in the morning. Hazy, you can go and rest. Just wait for me like a painting."
Mengwu agreed and left knowingly.
Man is a strange animal. Once he tastes something sweet, he can't help but want to taste it again.
The relationship between Zhou Ruhua and him has long since deteriorated. Of course he will not let this beautiful night go...
Early the next morning, the bearers of the sedan chair were ready early. Li Tai changed into court clothes and sat down on the sedan chair. As the sedan chair passed by the Xuanwu Gate, a group of ministers stopped to watch, showing surprise.
It felt good to be noticed by others. Li Tai looked around at the civil and military ministers who were looking at each other, not to mention how comfortable he felt.
"King Wei, what are you doing?..."
As expected, the first person to express his dissatisfaction was Wei Zheng. He actually stood in front of his sedan and blocked his way.
Li Tai held up the sedan curtain and said, "Master Wei, this is the emperor's will, and I can't help it."
Wei Zheng looked very ugly and said: "How is this appropriate? No, get off the sedan immediately."
Li Tai replied: "Your Excellency Wei, if I don't take the chariot, I will be disobeying the order. I don't want to make the emperor unhappy."
Fang Xuanling, who was walking towards him, said to Wei Zheng: "Master Wei, why bother? The emperor loves his son very much, so there is nothing wrong with it."
Wei Zheng sighed: "However, among our ministers, there are some who are over fifty years old and some who are physically disabled. If a little prince looks like this, if word spreads to the people, people will be dissatisfied."
