Li Shimin

Chapter 57

In the Tang Dynasty, Taiji Palace was actually the general name of Taiji Palace, East Palace and Yeting Palace.

Among them, the East Palace is in the east and is the residence of the prince.Yeting Palace is in the west, where children of criminal bureaucrats or court ladies study and work, which is equivalent to a juvenile labor camp.

And in the middle is the real Tai Chi Palace.

Although, since the predecessor of Taiji Palace was the Daxing Palace in the Sui Dynasty, the entire palace was luxurious and magnificent, and its scale was three times larger than the palaces of later generations.

However, the buildings in the palace are still in the same pattern.

Go to bed and go to bed.

In the Taiji Palace, the front palace is used for government affairs, mainly for the emperor to go to court and deal with government affairs.

The second half is the inner court. Except for the Liangyi Hall, which is used for the emperor and ministers to discuss court affairs, the rest of the palaces are used for the emperor's study, living, daily life, and the residence of the empress and concubines.

As for the many palaces in the inner court, two of them are the most important palaces in the entire palace.

One is the emperor's bedroom, the Ganlu Hall. Usually at night, Li Shimin would review memorials, read books, have meals, and even invite his concubines to sleep in the Ganlu Hall.

The other is the palace of Empress Changsun, Lizheng Palace.

Li Chengqian went straight to the Lizheng Hall after leaving the Hall of Liangyi.

"I've seen Auntie!"

Entering the Lizheng Hall, Li Chengqian's expression immediately relaxed.

Without waiting for the maid to report, he had already run into the hall by himself.

As expected, in the hall, Empress Changsun was holding a book in her hand and watching intently.

On the side, there was a cradle with a little person lying in it, and it was Li Zhi, the Ninth Prince of the Tang Dynasty who was just born less than four months old.

"My Gao Ming is back!"

The eldest grandson empress who gave birth to Li Zhi was still relatively weak, and now she was sitting on the sofa and greeted Li Chengqian.

"Get up quickly!"

"Hey, is Auntie feeling better today?"

After standing up, Li Chengqian was full of concern.

"It's much better for my mother."

A smile flashed in Empress Changsun's eyes, her face was gentle.

"Didn't you go to that Lijiazhuang to learn from the little master, why did you come back so early today?"

Li Chengqian was not surprised that Empress Changsun knew her whereabouts.

"Back to A Niang, that little master always taught me to study in the morning, and stopped teaching in the afternoon!"

Li Chengqian replied, and then continued.

"Aniang, the boy followed the little master, and came back after catching a big fish by the river. He has been sent to the Shangshi Bureau by the emperor. He will make soup for Aniang to replenish his body!"

"Gao Ming actually knows that I am a mother, I am really pleased with my mother!"

After hearing this, Empress Changsun immediately beamed with joy.

"Hey, it was the boy who was a bit dull before, which made Auntie worry!"

Li Chengqian smiled embarrassingly, and then saw the book in Empress Changsun's hand, and couldn't help but feel a little familiar, and curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"Ma'am, what is this book?"

"This book is the Enlightenment Alphabet Book!"

Empress Changsun said slowly, "Gao Ming, the most precious thing about this book is not the enlightenment letters, but the enlightenment literature in the book.

These articles, in the simplest and clearest words, tell the most basic principles of life in the world.The little master who can write this book must be a kind-hearted person. "

"Aniang, that little master is indeed a master!"

Li Chengqian agreed.

"That's right, you must learn from that little master, otherwise, I will personally punish you for my mother!"

Empress Changsun said slowly.

Although the tone was gentle, it was the harshest words in Li Chengqian's ears.

Immediately with a solemn expression, he said: "Don't worry, Madam, the child will definitely follow that little master and study hard!"

"That's good!"

After listening, Empress Changsun nodded slowly, then continued to lower her head, looking at the book in her hand.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief, moved his steps lightly, came to the side of the child's cradle, took a look inside, and there was still not much change, ugly and ugly!

However, the hair seems to be longer.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help curling his lips, and slowly lowered his head, wanting to see more clearly.

"Don't disturb your ninth brother!"

Empress Changsun frowned slightly and reprimanded in a low voice.

"Yes, Ma'am!"

After hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but shuddered slightly, quickly gave a coy smile, and bid farewell to Empress Changsun.

After leaving the Lizheng Palace, thinking about what he did just now, he was still a little nervous.

However, the newborn children are really small and ugly, with wrinkled skin, as the little master said.

It's just that, since childhood, has it also looked like this?

……

"Guanyin maidservant, where is Gao Ming?"

From Liangyi Hall to Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin didn't see Li Chengqian, so he couldn't help being slightly startled, he didn't care about Empress Changsun's body, so he asked Li Chengqian first.

"Gao Ming was just kicked out by his concubine."

Thinking of the situation just now, Empress Changsun couldn't help showing a smile.

"Huh? What's wrong with that kid?"

Li Shimin was startled.

In his impression, every time Li Chengqian came to Lizheng Hall, he looked respectful and acted steadily, like a little adult.

"His hands and feet, and I still want to tease Lao Jiu, I am afraid that he is not serious, and I will make Lao Jiu cry, so I drive him away!"

Empress Changsun said with some disgust.

"Ok?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but a trace of sullenness flashed across his face.

"Guanyin maidservant, don't worry, I'll reprimand this kid in a while!"

"Erlang must not!"

Empress Changsun's complexion tightened, and she said hastily.

"Why?" Li Shimin was puzzled.

"Erlang doesn't think that this is what Gao Ming should do at his age?"

Empress Changsun said: "In the past, Gao Ming was always like a little adult and never messed around. Although he looked very sensible, but no matter how I looked at it, I always felt awkward. I was afraid that this child would be suppressed for too long and his mind would have problems.

Now, with Gao Ming in this state, I feel relieved! "

"Gao Ming is the crown prince, so he should be mature and stable."

Li Shimin frowned slightly.

"I don't know Erlang, when he was young, he could look like Yu Gaoming?"

Queen Changsun asked.

"This?"

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help but smile wryly, "When I was young, I was the most troublesome bastard in the house. With Xuan Ba, I went up to the house to uncover tiles, climbed trees to dig out bird nests, went down to the river to catch fish... what kind of nonsense? All done!"

"Then why Erlang can do it, Gao Ming is a little childish, but why can't he?"

Empress Changsun asked back.

"This...Gao Ming is the prince, he should behave like the prince of the Eastern Palace!" Li Shimin said in a low voice.

"But Gao Ming is still a child!"

Empress Changsun said: "Second elder brother can't kill Gao Ming's xinxing with the excuse of Prince Donggong!"

"Okay, okay, as long as Gao Ming doesn't mess around in front of me, I won't bother!"

Feeling that what Empress Changsun said was reasonable, Li Shimin said quickly.

"Thank you, Jiro!"

After hearing this, Empress Changsun beamed with joy.

"Guanyin's maid will rest for a while, and I will let you taste it later. How does Gao Ming personally touch the carp from the river for you?"

Seeing this, Li Shimin quickly changed the subject.

"carp?"

Empress Changsun was taken aback.

"It's a carp!"

Li Shimin looked a little helpless.
