"It's the same with Zhi'er, Aunt Lin. Zhi'er needs to stay with you for a while and call you Aunt Lin for a while before you can get used to it. From now on, Zhi'er won't call you Queen Mother when no one is around."
"Okay, Aunt Lin is waiting for you! But you must promise Aunt Lin that you will come to Lizheng Palace to accompany Aunt Lin every day. Even if you do nothing, you must snuggle in Aunt Lin's arms for a while and let Aunt Lin hug you. "
"Isn't Zhi'er here all the time? Aunt Lin, you are so good-looking, there is no need to worry that Zhi'er will ignore you."
¡°You little guy, it¡¯s the big one here that¡¯s scary.¡±
"Ah! Aunt Lin, you can't pinch me here."
There are not many people living here in the East Palace anymore. After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he was only sixteen years old and had no heirs at all. How could anyone live in the East Palace?
Most of the maids selected by the Queen Mother have returned to Taiji Palace. At this time, the East Palace seems deserted. Occasionally, when meeting someone, they are also in a hurry.
Li Zhi was walking here, followed by a man who was half a step away from Li Zhi and followed Li Zhi.
Li Zhi reached out and took the man's hand.
"Brother, I won't see you off tomorrow, otherwise those courtiers will annoy me to death. It's a long way to go to Qianzhou this time, so be careful along the way. If there are things or people that Brother Donggong wants to bring, just bring them with you. .¡±
"When the eldest brother got there, the queen mother had already arranged everything. The eldest brother had been aggrieved for a while."
¡°Your Majesty, I really don¡¯t know what to say.¡±
"You and I are brothers, these are what I should do. If Datang needs it in the future, please ask me to still contribute to Datang."
"If Your Majesty has something to ask of me, Cheng Qian will be totally embarrassed and will never refuse."
"Call me third brother again!"
"Third brother!"
The two brothers hugged each other in front of Lizheng Hall. Li Chengqian left the East Palace, taking only a cup of soil from the front yard of Lizheng Hall.
Even if you are thousands of miles away from your hometown, you should still carry a cup of your hometown. This is the feeling of your hometown.
Li Zhi did not send Li Chengqian away, and could not send him away. Li Chengqian was in exile, and he was an emperor, so how could he send him away.
However, standing on the Chengtian Gate, Li Zhi still looked into the distance for a long time. It wasn't until a robe was wrapped around him that Li Zhi held on to the city wall and sighed.
"Chuntao, why did you find this place?"
"it's me!"
"Ah, it's the imperial sister. Imperial sister Qinghe, why are you here? The consort will be leaving Chang'an in the next two days for Anxi. I thought the emperor was at home with the consort to tidy up!"
"There is no need for the emperor to pack things. The emperor and the consort are going to Anxi. Can your majesty send us off like this?"
"No, I will ride on horseback to personally escort the emperor's sister and the consort out of the Ten Mile Pavilion."
Princess Qinghe smiled happily and beautifully.
"Your Majesty, you are the emperor now, and Qinghe clearly remembers that your majesty said that he would come to Anxi to see me and my consort."
"I will never forget it!"
"That's it!"
"good!"
Li Zhi reached out and hooked Princess Qinghe's little finger with his little finger.
"Sister Huang, when we get to Anxi, hurry up and give birth to a big fat boy for your consort."
"I know, Huai Liang has been working extremely hard recently, but he's just afraid that if he goes there, he'll have too many things to do and won't have time."
"Haha, let's go, Sister Huang, it's rare for you to come to the palace. Today's lunch will be served in the palace."
"Okay, Qinghe really wants to spend time with his younger siblings."
Li Zhi called all the princes and princesses living in the palace today, and did not call anyone else.
Because her mother-in-law died young, Princess Qinghe actually had no concubines in the palace who were close to her. She used to be envious of Princess Yuzhang. Although her mother-in-law was no longer there, she was always raised by the queen herself.
But after entering the Cheng family at the age of ten, this loneliness was completely gone.
The entire Cheng family has always regarded her as a treasure, especially his father-in-law, who treated her as his own daughter. Compared with Princess Qinghe, Cheng Huailiang, his biological son, seemed to have joined the Cheng family.
Today may have been the last time that Princess Qinghe got together with so many younger brothers and sisters in Chang'an. At the dinner table, she drank a lot of wine, and in the end, Li Zhi was lying on the table.
¡°After becoming an emperor, my drinking capacity is still so bad.¡±
"That's right, Brother Huang is good at everything, but he gets drunk easily."
The princesses and princes continued to drink happily, and finally ended up lying on the table and rolling all over the floor.
Looking at this image, the palace maid standing guard outside could only smile bitterly and shake her head.
Finally Chuntao had to call the palace maid and carried His Majesty to the bed.
The maids and concubines from each palace also came to bring people. Alas, it is rare for these princes and princesses to drink like this with His Majesty.
But fortunately, even if you get drunk at this time, it will not cause any serious problems. In later generations, if you drink like this, you may be careful of gastric bleeding or even gastric perforation.
When Li Zhi woke up, it was already late at night. He touched his head and looked at Queen Wang, who was sleeping soundly next to him.
Li Zhi still hugged Wang Yan like a pillow and continued to sleep.
The next day, ten miles outside Chang'an City, Li Zhi put his arms around Cheng Hualiang's shoulders and spoke to him. Cheng Huailiang's eyes wandered and he didn't utter a word for a long time.
It wasn¡¯t until the carriage and horses set off that Princess Qinghe snuggled into the consort¡¯s arms and looked at Cheng Huailiang.
"Brother Huai Liang, what did His Majesty say when he took you alone?"
"Qinghe, do you really want to know?"
Princess Qinghe naturally nodded without hesitation.
"Your Majesty asked me to go to Anxi. After I became the Protector, as long as there is a slight disturbance on the border, I can ask the court for soldiers and food. He also asked me to select some strong men from the farmers who were brought to Anxi for training."
"The emperor wants to station a large number of troops in Anxi! Does he want to attack the Turks or Tibet?"
"It should be that His Majesty has just ascended the throne and needs a big enough victory to stabilize his position. If my guess is correct, His Majesty wants to destroy the Turks."
"Then what do you do?"
"As long as a Hu soldier dares to cross the border, I will report to the court that the Hu people are entering the country in large numbers. As long as a Hu horse comes to graze on the grassland of our Datang, I will report to the court that the Hu people have entered the great rivers and mountains of our Datang with iron hooves. Don¡¯s land for horse ranching.¡±
"What if not?"
"Anyway, we have already lied about the military situation. It doesn't matter if we lie more thoroughly. Anyway, Anxi is so far away from Chang'an. Those ministers don't know what is happening here. Even if they find out one day, the situation in Anxi is already under His Majesty's control. .¡±
"Brother Huai Liang, do you know who you are loyal to?"
"The Cheng family has been favored by the emperor, and I married you, so naturally I am loyal to the emperor."
"I will never misjudge the person in the ninth place, but brother Huai Liang just needs to station troops, step up training, and reserve military rations."
"You mean His Majesty wants to take charge of the expedition himself?"
"I understand now why His Majesty said he would definitely go to Anxi to see us. I originally thought he was just to see me, the royal sister, but it turns out he had other ideas." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
