The emperor was in high spirits. What could the two ministers say? He had no choice but to bow and follow Li Shimin out of the room.

Unexpectedly, after just one step outside the door, the three kings and ministers were stunned, but saw a pretty woman standing not far from the door, looking at this side with a frost on her face.

This woman is elegant and luxurious.

This woman has elegant manners.

It was Empress Changsun of the Tang Dynasty harem.

The queen seemed to have been waiting at the door. When she saw the king and minister, her face became even colder, and she suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you are going out and then go to see your son-in-law be beaten? So excited!"

Li Shimin was a little embarrassed and coughed and touched his nose.

The two ministers were equally embarrassed, and they didn't know whether they should help the emperor find a way, especially Changsun Wuji was the queen's brother, and at this time they felt ashamed of being caught by their sister to do bad things.

The three kings and ministers were shy, but Empress Changsun suddenly changed her style and giggled, "I often hear the concubines say that there is a ninth scene in Chang'an. I am very curious and I always want to go and see it. Your Majesty, take me with me! Cheng Chumo's little monkey is going to be beaten. I really want to take a look. Hehe, I heard that he will be hung up and sucked hard..."

His tone was a little excited.

Li Shimin was stunned.

The two ministers were dumbfounded.

Is this still the queen? Is this still the virtuous and famous queen?

...

After a long time, Li Shimin coughed awkwardly and scolded, "The concubines are not allowed to leave the palace, what's the matter with you?"

"I am not a concubine!" Empress Changsun glared at her eyes and said with a slight pride: "I am the queen of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin still refused and said, "The queen should not leave the palace even if she is idle."

Empress Changsun directly increased the price and said, "I am still Cheng Chumo's mother-in-law."

"Guanyin maid, you..." Li Shimin's face turned a little dark.

"Hmph, my son-in-law is going to be beaten. Can't I go and see me as a mother-in-law?" Queen Changsun's excuse was very powerful.

But Li Shimin is not an ordinary person, so he immediately found the words of rejection and said: "Cheng Chumo and Qinghe are not married yet."

Changsun was also quick-responsive and asked loudly: "So does Your Majesty want to regret the marriage?"

This question finally held Li Shimin back on.

It is absolutely impossible to do something like a royal repentance. Not to mention that Cheng Yaojin was a hero of the Tang Dynasty, he could not regret even the marriage of an ordinary family.

In desperation, Li Shimin could only snort lightly and said unhappily: "Let's go, it will be dark if it's late."

But Changsun suddenly waved to the distance, waved and explained, "I have a companion, let Your Majesty take it with you."

Before he finished speaking, a figure appeared behind the rockery not far away. It was graceful and beautiful. He was a concubine and one of the four major concubines.

Li Shimin's face was longer than a donkey.

Changsun said, "Sister Yang Concubine is the biological mother of Princess Qinghe. Strictly speaking, she is Cheng Chumo's mother-in-law. Your Majesty, just be kind and bring Sister Yang Concubine with her."

Li Shimin said nothing, turned around and left with a cold face.

Actually, this is agreeing.

Changsun and Concubine Yang secretly gave a wink, and the two little women smiled sly.

...

The emperor left the palace and brought one concubine with him. If such a thing was put in normal times, it would have to be a big fanfare.

But Li Shimin went to watch the fun this time, so he naturally didn't want to be found. At the emperor's order, the Baiqisi immediately moved. First, someone helped the emperor change his clothes, and a lady was in charge of Changsun and Yang Fei. After the three of them dressed up, they all pretended to be ordinary civilians.

Then he actually left the palace, and the hundreds of riders accompanied him in disguise.

Because Cheng Yaojin is a Duke, most of the Duke's mansions are on Zhuque Street. Therefore, from the palace to Cheng Mansion, there is a Zhuque Street in the middle. As long as you walk a few hundred steps away from the palace gate, you can see the palaces of each Duke.

The ancients had agile feet, which was not comparable to those of modern office workers. Li Shimin was the emperor again, so he naturally didn't take these hundreds of steps seriously. The emperor took Changsun and others all the way, and soon he saw the crowded Duke Lu's mansion.

What a good guy, I really don’t know if I don’t come. I was shocked and it was so lively.

But I saw countless people gathering together, and there was a buzzing everywhere on the street.

Changsun and Yang Fei rarely left the palace. Seeing this lively scene, they couldn't help but be excited. They felt that their eyes were not enough, and kept looking around.

Looking at this place, it was lively, looking at that place, it was still lively. The two women became more and more excited, chatting and communicating in a low voice.

Li Shimin's face turned a little dark, and he looked at the people and said, "I am unable to sleep or eat in the palace due to famine, but these people are feeling nothing. They are excited about watching for a small matter..."

As he said that, he saw a small vendor passing by the crowd, his face turned even darker: "There are actually people doing business, how is this a matter of practice?"

But he forgot that he also came out to watch the fun.

Fortunately, Fang Xuanling was still following him. The wise minister of the Tang Dynasty bowed and advised: "Your Majesty, the people are not long-term because of their ordinaryness. What you think every day is nothing more than eating and drinking. If you can have a full meal, you will be satisfied. Your Majesty will not be the case. You are the king of a country and are bound to the world. Therefore, you cannot bring the spirit of the people."

Li Shimin thought about it and suddenly laughed: "It's this reason, Fang Qiao is right. He is worthy of being my virtuous minister, not comparable to that guy Wei Zheng. He is also admonishing you, I like to listen to what you said."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said humbly: "Wei Hui has a strong temper and is incomparable to his ministers."

Li Shimin shook his head and refused to comment on this.

The king and ministers walked all the way, and there were Baiqisi, who disguised himself as the people, to help open the road, so they did not need to squeeze out the crowd, so they walked leisurely and freely.

Just at this moment, a commoner suddenly squeezed over and laughed: "How many people, are you gambling?"

uh-huh?

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and subconsciously went to see Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji.

The two ministers were both stunned and couldn't figure out what the people meant.

But the people were quite anxious. Seeing that the three of them didn't say anything, they immediately glared and said, "If you want to bet, hurry up and close the market soon. Duke Cheng has already returned home and is about to start fighting."

Li Shimin then realized and suddenly said, "Are you talking about betting on him to beat the child?"

"That's right!" The people smiled and shook their eyes at the emperor, "This time Cheng Chumo caused a lot of trouble, so he must be beaten up."

"What is your gambling plate?" Li Shimin asked again.

The people spread their fingers and said, "Hold it up and pump it, starting at the price of ten cups of tea. For each extra cup of tea, the odds will double."
