Chapter 29: Entering the palace for an audience
Princess Sui'an stood up and nodded at Li Lizhi.
Princess Sui'an looked at Li Lizhi, who was full of jewels and couldn't help but think that Li Lizhi was full of love, she was very pampered, and if I had a little pampered, I would be content.
Li Lizhi smiled and replied, "Sister has lost weight recently."
Princess Sui'an is older than Li Lizhi, but she is a concubine's daughter, so people have a more impression of Li Lizhi's eldest daughter.
Li Shimin subconsciously said: "Is that right?"
This sentence is of course unintentional, but it sounds harsh, because Princess Sui'an hasn't seen Li Shimin for a long time, and Li Shimin almost forgot that he has such a daughter.
Li Shimin's complexion then calmed down a little: "Come on, I'll give it to sit."
Princess Sui'an did not sit down, but smiled at Li Shimin and said, "Father, I heard... The father carried a treasure called Wanshou Stone with him. It is said that there was a faint light at night. When pinching it here, it felt warm. I have always felt curious and wanted to see it."
When Li Shimin heard the three words "Wanshoushi" and his pale face returned to a little rosy. He laughed and said, "It turns out that I came here for this. You are still a child after all. Since you want to see it, I will show you."
As he said that, he took off the Wanshou Stone he had with him, and Li Lizhi took it and handed it over to Princess Sui'an.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "This thing is very interesting, but... this thing has the metaphor of longevity. Even if you like it, I will never give it to you."
Princess Sui'an held the Wanshou stone in the palm of her hand. Sure enough, a warm feeling of the stone was transmitted to her palm. The stone was carefully carved and the word Wanshou could be seen.
At this moment, her delicate body actually trembled, gritting her silver teeth, and not saying a word.
Li Lizhi saw Princess Sui'an's strange expression and couldn't help but say, "Does the girl feel uncomfortable..."
"I...I..."
At this moment, Princess Sui'an was absent-minded. She thought about Chen Zhengtai's explanation in her mind. For a moment, she felt that she was obsessed with it. Suddenly, she couldn't help but wonder, do you really believe the words of Erpi County men?
Seeing that Princess Sui'an was silent, Li Shimin felt something was strange, so he coughed and wanted to ask.
At this time, Princess Sui'an was panicked. At this time, she suddenly made up her mind and immediately threw the Wanshou Stone towards the center of the lake.
The Wansheng Stone drew a perfect arc in the void, then fell into the rippling lake with a thud, and a wave of water broke out, and finally disappeared.
Li Shimin: “…”
Princess Sui'an immediately bowed to the ground: "I'm dead!"
"You!" Li Shimin suddenly arose and was furious.
This is my own baby.
A good baby, gone.
He sternly said, "You...you are bold!"
Princess Sui'an just crawled on the ground without saying a word.
Several eunuchs from afar were also frightened when they saw the movement and rushed over.
Li Shimin said heartbrokenly: "This Wansheng Stone is my favorite. Why do you do this? I have raised you for your kindness, but you are so unfilial..."
Li Lizhi was dumbfounded. She couldn't help but look at Princess Sui'an who was crawling on the ground. Her delicate body was trembling at this moment. She couldn't help asking for Princess Sui'an: "Don't calm down, she...she thought she was just a mistake."
"This is not a mistake, it is clearly done on purpose!"
"Please punish the emperor." Princess Sui'an's face turned pale. She suddenly felt that the senior brother had some tricks, so that her life with her mother would be even more difficult.
Li Shimin sternly said: "Who is it, who taught you how to do it?"
Princess Sui'an felt a little annoyed, but at this moment she was unable to argue and could only lower her head silently.
Li Shimin was extremely angry and coughed desperately, and then bleeding came out of his nose.
The eunuch hurriedly took out the brocade hand, Li Shimin pushed the eunuch away with one hand and shouted: "I am not dead, go away."
The eunuch staggered and was busy and stepped back.
Li Shimin looked at Princess Sui'an coldly and said word by word: "Okay, okay, don't you say it? It's not your fault that you don't teach me. If you do such a thing, I will never let you go. I... I... come here to make her look good and make her think about her mistakes. Her mother... has no way to teach her daughter, and this is also a big mistake. I will give me a strong warning!" After speaking, he did not look at Princess Sui'an, but hurriedly spoke.
"Come here, send a boat to pick up my Wansheng stone."
The palace was already in chaos.
The blood from Li Shimin's nose was flowing out, and he just wiped it casually, so that his face was covered with blood. Li Shimin left and the eunuchs retreated one after another. Only Princess Sui'an was trembling in the long pavilion. Even if no one looked at her, she still knelt on the ground, trembling and did not dare to get up.
The sky was already dark, and thousands of rays of rays were falling down. The lake water cut the rays into pieces. In the dim long pavilion, only a weak body was left, pulling down the long shadow.
Li Shimin then looked back at the Changting, his face still turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Check, thoroughly... Check out my daughter, who has been instigated by me?"
The Inner General Zhang Qian bowed and took the order and left.
Li Shimin felt a little dizzy. He often did this these days. In addition, he was furious today and felt even more dizzy. He shook a few steps and Zhang Qian wanted to come forward to support him. Li Shimin suddenly felt a little sad. He thought that he had led the army to fight and was the bravest of the three armies, but now he is not old. He stubbornly opened Zhang Qian's hand: "Go away!"
…………
A few days later, Zhang Qian hurried to the hall and bowed and said, "Your Majesty..."
Li Shimin sat behind the desk, reviewing the memorial, only looked up at Zhang Qian, and then lowered his head coldly: "Wanshoushi, has it been salvaged?"
Zhang Qian smiled bitterly and said, "There is a lot of silt in the lake, and the bottom of the lake is unfathomable..."
"Oh..." Li Shimin sighed, and he felt very distressed.
Zhang Qian glanced at Li Shimin, then said carefully: "Your Majesty, these days... Princess Sui'an is still kneeling in Taiye Pool."
Li Shimin pulled his face: "Who made her kneel there? She is still a child. This is her mother's fault. Teach her up, keep her from being in custody, and teach people to take good care of her."
Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Yes, yes... there is another thing... I don't know whether to say it or not."
Li Shimin felt that nothing was going well and said angrily: "What else is there?"
"The old slave found out that Princess Sui'an had been to the Chen family before meeting His Majesty and had a secret conversation with Chen Zhengtai, a man from Erpi County."
Chen Zhengtai...
Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat.
Then... he almost jumped up and threw the imperial pen in his hand to the ground: "I just knew... I just knew... There was no good person named Chen, so I couldn't help them. Chen Zhengtai, I thought... he was different from the rest of the Chen family. Now it seems... he is really a bird of a feather. If I value him a little, he would be brave and dare to instigate the princess to do this, take down... and take down the person!"
Li Shimin was already furious: "When... my daughter got involved with Chen Zhengtai? Why was she so stupid and foolish? "
Zhang Qian was so scared that he didn't dare to make a sound.
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "I am not bad to Chen Zhengtai. He dares to do this. The Chen family has no good people. Good people will die in eight lives. Come... Come... teach him to enter the palace, and I will ask him personally."
"Here!"
…………
Chen Zhengtai has been very well-behaved these days and has hardly ever left.
This made Chen Fu feel very strange and couldn't hold it in. "Young Master, why haven't you left the door these days?"
Chen Zhengtai narrowed his eyes and looked mysterious. Chen Fu is a fool. When dealing with a fool, he only needs to look mysterious: "I think I may have a bloody disaster in the past few days. It is not appropriate to go out. Maybe I will be shot in a black gun."
Chen Fu murmured in his heart, "Black gun?" Didn't the gun be stabbed? Why did he say that he was hit?"
At this time, someone came to the palace again.
People have been coming to this palace recently, and every time it makes the Chen family feel uneasy. They are still very accustomed to the days when no one was thinking about them.
The person who came was Chen Zhengtai’s acquaintance, the father-in-law Zhang Qianzhang.
Eunuch Zhang looked kind, but he looked gloating in his heart. He brought seven or eight imperial guards behind him. When he saw Chen Zhengtai, he immediately said, "Please invite the men in Erpi County to come to the palace to meet him."
Chen Zhengtai corrected him: "It's a man in Erpigou County."
Eunuch Zhang glanced at Chen Zhengtai with interesting taste: "It doesn't matter, it will be no longer soon."
He had something in his words, and Chen Zhengtai felt a little disgusted when he saw this guy's appearance. This dog lowered the moral average of the eunuch group.
Chen Zhengtai was also free and easy, nodding: "I am so happy when my teacher invites you. Wait, I will take a shower and change my clothes first."
Eunuch Zhang shook his head: "No need, hurry up, Your Majesty is waiting urgently. If the Erpi County man refuses to follow us quickly, it is inevitable that we will let the imperial guards ask the Erpi County man to leave."
Look at what people say, but you dare to come to the Chen family to move, and you are not afraid that my third uncle and my father will rely on you.
Although Chen Zhengtai felt sorry for his heart, he seemed helpless and had to say, "Then, please ask for it first."
This time, he entered the palace, but did not go to the main hall. Instead, he followed Zhang Qian into a garden. The garden was deep and there were many guards. This made Chen Zhengtai suddenly feel that... he might be pulled to a place where no one was killed.
Then... I arrived at a large lake and lakeside, and in the distance... there was a long pavilion.
