A childhood life with no worries about food and clothing is always beautiful. If it is good food and clothing, then even the gods will be envious of it. Since catching Zhou Zhou, Li Zhen has lived a very nourishing life. Yi Lai
Put your hands, open your mouth, and do whatever you do, and there are people waiting on you. It feels so good. I wander around leisurely every day, pretending to be innocent from time to time, and licking the maids' oil. How can I say it's so good?
It's a pity that good days are always short-lived. Just when we were enjoying them, trouble started.
What? The old man announced the summons? Is there any mistake? Li Zhen’s eyes suddenly widened. The two young eunuchs who came to deliver the oral message hurriedly explained: "Eighth Prince, this is the decree of the Holy One. The Queen is also here, please.
Go right now."
Oops, what's going on? We haven't done anything bad during this period, so why do we need to call for such a grand ceremony? Li Zhen was depressed for a long time and didn't remember that something had gone wrong with him, but the old man called for a call. It would be impossible if he didn't go.
I had no choice but to wander all the way to Ganlu Hall.
As soon as he entered the Ganlu Hall, he saw Li Shimin and Empress Changsun sitting on the dragon bed, laughing and talking about something. Li Zhen did not dare to listen carefully, so she walked forward quickly with her little feet, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully:
"My son, I have met my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen."
"No need, just get up." Li Shimin waved his hand with a smile and looked at Li Zhen with interest for a while before continuing: "Zhen'er, if my father remembers correctly, you should be four years old.
.”
Hey, that’s right, you have many sons, so it’s normal for you not to remember how old we are? Li Zhen despised the old man in her heart, but with a respectful look on her face she replied: “As for my father,
The child turned four years ago."
"Oh?" Although Li Shimin's face was calm, there was a slight embarrassment in his eyes. He had forgotten the age of his son. This father should really reflect on himself, but it is no wonder that Li Shimin,
There were many things going on in the court, and there was a war going on outside. Secondly, Li Zhen, who didn't want to be in the limelight, had always kept a low profile. She didn't have any extraordinary performance, so she deserved to be ignored. If the eldest grandson Queen hadn't mentioned it today,
I'm afraid Li Shimin still can't remember that his son, who was born strangely but has no outstanding performance, still has a big thing to do.
"Zhen'er, since you are four years old, it's time to start studying essays. The Queen Mother has discussed with your father and plans to have you become a disciple of Kong Yingda. What does Zhen'er think?" Li Shimin looked at Li Shimin with a look of dismay.
Embarrassed, Empress Changsun, who was always considerate, immediately said.
What? Kong Yingda? Is there a mistake? Li Zhen was stunned when he heard this. Without him, this old Comrade Kong was a learned scholar. It would not be wrong for him to be his teacher. However, there is only one person here.
I'm afraid it's not that simple - according to the Tang Dynasty system, all princes had to start enlightenment studies when they were four years old, and began to practice riding and archery at the age of five.
The masters are all great scholars in the court, but they will definitely not be important ministers. The only exception is the master of the prince, who is usually held by an official at the prime minister level. The other princes are incomparable. Take Kong Yingda, Mr. Kong as an example.
, Comrade Lao Kong is now the Young Master of the Eastern Palace and the concubine of the right concubine. To put it more clearly, Comrade Lao Kong is the master of the prince. It would be strange for Li Zhen to worship Comrade Lao Kong as his teacher. There is nothing strange about it.
Although Li Zhen had always kept a low profile and never hooked up with the older brothers, but in a place like the palace where gossip was flying everywhere, she was still aware of the dealings between the bullshit brothers. As for the prince, he was a
Li Zhen already knew what he was like - Prince Li Chengqian was considered a smart and studious person when he was young. He was good at both literary and martial arts, which is quite similar.
But he didn't work hard enough. A few years ago, he went on a hunting trip without authorization and broke his leg. Due to lack of timely treatment, he became a lame prince. Now he doesn't read or talk, and he still fools around in the East Palace all day long.
He has become the laughingstock of the palace, and all the older brothers have been sharpening their knives, planning to drive him out of office. Now let us keep company with the prince, there is no place to be a target, right?
Dizzy, can it be done if I don’t go? Of course it can’t be done. Not only can I not say that I can’t go, but I also have to pretend to be happy. Li Zhen felt like crying, but she still said with a happy look on her face:
"My son, I obey."
"Well, Zhen'er, you have been steady since you were a child. My father knows this well. When you get to the East Palace, you should learn from Kong Yingda. Well, if..., well, if there is anything wrong with your crown prince brother, please let me know.
Okay." Li Shimin said with a serious look on his face.
Damn, I've been working for a long time as a secret sentry in Yiyangcheng. It's miserable. How can I live this life! ***, this idea is most likely the result of Empress Changsun. Alas, you always feel sorry for your unsatisfactory performance.
It's unethical to use me as a pointer for your son. There are so many bastards who don't look for me, so why do they look for me? Isn't your youngest son, Li Zhi, about to turn four years old? Just send him. Li Zhi
Zhen's heart was twitching, but she didn't dare to bring it to face, so she responded respectfully: "Yes, I have remembered it."
"Just remember it." Seeing Li Zhen agree, Li Shimin was delighted, took out a jade pendant from his arms, handed it to Li Zhen with a smile, and said: "Zhen'er, this is something that my father often uses. With this thing, you can
Come to me at any time, just go."
Ha, I bet this is the legendary special pass. Ha, good thing. We were just wondering how to sneak out of the palace to see something strange, but you delivered it right to our door. Thank you. Li Zhen was very happy, but
His face was very calm. He took the jade pendant with both hands without looking at it carefully. He just put it in his bag, kowtowed respectfully to thank him, retreated, and wandered back to Min'an Palace.
Generally speaking, it was because there were many talkative women in the palace and the yin energy was strong, so any bad news in the palace spread very quickly. No, Li Zhensi was not summoned until noon. By noon, everyone in the palace had heard the news.
You can say anything. After all, it is unusual for a prince who was born as a concubine to study in the East Palace. It is even more rare for him to have the same teacher as the prince. So he came to Min'an Palace throughout the afternoon and evening.
There was an endless stream of concubines from all the palaces visiting Concubine Yan, and those who had children were even more enthusiastic. They simply surrounded Li Zhen and asked questions non-stop, whether they were hinting, flattering or threatening.
It was over, and Li Zhen was upset. But she couldn't do anything yet, so she could only deal with it with a smile. When encountering a topic that was really difficult to deal with, Li Zhen pretended to be innocent, and it was easy to get rid of a bunch of annoying people.
After coping with everything, it was already dark that day, and Li Zhen's belly was already growling with hunger.
Life and death were a small matter, but eating was a big matter. It was easy to wait for dinner, but Li Zhen let go of the food, looking as if he was vomiting all his anger on the food, like a wind and a lingering cloud. After everything was done, he said hello to Concubine Yan, and then
She planned to go back to her room to think about countermeasures, but unexpectedly, Concubine Yan sat upright a few minutes later, eating her meal and said lightly: "Wait."
Come on, I’ve said it, you have to wait, right? Even though Li Zhen had something on her mind, she could only stand aside politely. Li Zhen was anxious, but Concubine Yan was not in a hurry and ate her meal slowly.
She didn't say anything. She finished her meal and rinsed her mouth. Then she knelt down and sat down for a few seconds. She calmly looked at Li Zhen, who had black lines on her forehead, and asked lightly: "Zhen'er, what's in your heart?"
But are you angry?"
Hey, look at what you said, how can we not be resentful? Li Zhen felt bitter in her heart, but facing the mother who had taken good care of him over the years, she didn't want to lie, so she simply stood still without saying a word, acquiescing to the matter.
.
"Zhen'er, you have been prudent since you were a child, so there is nothing you can't worry about, mother. Just remember one thing: when the master comes in, practice is personal, and you have to rely on yourself to learn skills. I think you know what to do, mother.
Concubine Yan paused, clapped her hands, and two palace maids came in carrying a small box and placed it in the hall. Concubine Yan looked at Li Zhen and said with a smile: "Zhen'er, these years
Your monthly money has been kept by me, and now it has been given to you. You can use it as you should, and save as much as you need, you can make up your own mind."
Ha, I am indeed used to hanging around in the palace. There is so much content in such a simple sentence. Hey, it’s interesting! Li Zhen is a smart person, and she will understand what Concubine Yan is talking about when she hears it——
Be careful, it’s true that you can learn skills from Kong Yingda, don’t worry about how the prince makes troubles, that is beyond the control of a concubine prince; the meaning of giving money is that you can pretend to be fooling around with the prince sometimes, as long as you have the confidence in your heart.
.
"Yes, I have remembered it, my child." Li Zhen bowed respectfully, waved his hand, and signaled the two young eunuchs standing by to move the box back to his room, and respectfully left.
Money, money, I have been in this dynasty for more than four years. Although Li Zhen is a prince, he is a pauper and has never had a penny on his body. According to the Tang Dynasty, a young prince like Li Zhen who has not yet been crowned king
There is also a fixed monthly amount of money that can be obtained every month. When converted into coins, it is roughly about three guans per month. However, the money is all in the hands of Concubine Yan. Li Zhen has not even seen the shadow of money. Now there is
After receiving the money, why don’t you hurry up and take a look? Well, I just returned to my room and couldn’t wait to open the cash box. When I took a look, I suddenly lost my temper like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Er - the box is not small, and it is packed to the brim, but apart from a few bolts of silk, the total number of serious coins is only two or three thousand.
Oh, I'm a prince. I have saved so little in more than four years. What a monster! Li Zhen didn't know the price of things today. When she saw that there wasn't much money, she was so depressed that she wanted to cry. She had no choice but to look at the box.
Li Qian smiled bitterly and sighed, lying down on the bed and thinking about his thoughts... dd
