Opposite the main gate of the palace, Jishanfang is home to the largest royal palace in Luoyang - Prince Yu's Palace.

The inner corridors of the royal mansion are back and forth, with high eaves and teeth. Everywhere you look, there are carved beams and painted buildings, precious flowers and rare herbs. There are five steps for one pavilion, and ten steps for the first floor. There is a mansion as grand and imposing as Yuwang Mansion.

Yu Wang Li Fengyang is one of the most favored sons of the founding emperor Li Yuan, and also the uncle of Li Zhi and the uncle of Li Lingyue.

The old man is already in his seventies, he has experienced the three dynasties of Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Li Zhi successively, and he is the prince with the highest status and favor among the many princes of the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Zhi changed Luoyang as the accompanying capital, Li Fengyang served as the left-behind of the Eastern Capital as a prince.

The so-called "stay behind", as the name suggests, means that when the emperor is not in the eastern capital, he is responsible for managing the accompanying capital on behalf of the emperor, and enjoys supervising and commanding local officials to manage money, grain, military and civilian affairs, and guards.

As the leader of the Eastern Capital, the empress came to Luoyang for such a big event, she should have come out of the city to greet her in person, but the king of Yu entrusted Zhao Weiting, the shepherd of the Henan prefecture, to take care of it on the grounds of old age and frailty. mean.

So after the ceremony was over, Zhao Weiting hurriedly rushed to Prince Yu's Mansion to return to his command.

Under the leadership of Kang Shun, the steward of the palace, Zhao Weiting entered from the gate of the palace, passed through a lot of pavilions and pavilions, passed the hanging flower gate in the inner courtyard, and heard the sound of a group of men and women laughing and having fun.

In the inner courtyard of the palace, the floor was covered with a bright red carpet, and a long couch carved with dragon totems was placed directly above it. There were several grand master chairs on both sides of the lower head, and more than a dozen maidservants held trays and waited carefully on both sides.

A few meters away, two servants from the palace held up a piece of red silk, and five meters away from the red silk was a copper pot with a narrow neck and two ears.

The silver-haired Prince Yu dragged his fat body, supported by a man and a woman, stood outside the red silk, took an arrow handed by a servant, closed his eyelids slightly, aimed at the copper pot, and then Throwing it hard, the arrow crossed a parabola, and with a "ding", it was accurately inserted into the copper pot, and applause erupted from the surroundings.

Beside King Yu, a forty-something man in brocade clothes with a goatee pretended to be disappointed and said, "Aye, your pot-throwing skills are still so superb, and you are so convincing to lose!"

King Yu was in a good mood, looking at his eldest son, Li Changxiao, King of Luoyang County, he laughed and said, "I used to be able to defeat you with three arrows, but now with all my concentration, I can only narrowly defeat you with one arrow, hey! It seems that Aye is really old! "

The beautiful woman who supported him next to him was surrounded by pearls and emerald greens, and her breasts were half exposed. At the age of twenty-eight, she had a pair of charming red phoenix eyes. As soon as King Yu finished speaking, she gave him a charming look:
"You are old or not, I think that you are stronger than Da Lang!"

King Yu laughed again when he heard the words, the fat around his waist trembled.

"What Aunt Xiao said was, how can the boy be half as good as Aye!"

Li Changxiao replied in obedience to the beautiful woman's words, and then took advantage of King Yu's inattention, leaned back slightly, looked sideways at the beautiful woman, licked his dry lips, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then The beautiful woman's breasts rose and fell, she suddenly thought of something, her eyes were like spring water, she cast a glance at Li Changxiao, and glanced away guiltily.

This beautiful woman is the side concubine whom King Yu accepted three years ago. She is the granddaughter of King Yu.

Kang Shun led Zhao Weiting to the backyard, and first came forward to report with a smile: "My lord, Zhao Fumu asks to see you!"

Zhao Weiting hurried forward and bowed in salute: "Humble Zhao Weiting, pay homage to King Yu!"

With the support of Li Changxiao and Xiao Jing'er, King Yu climbed onto the couch, lay lazily on his side, and then slowly asked: "The queen's affairs are all done?"

Zhao Weiting took two steps forward, raised his hands and replied: "Go back to your lord, I have been ordered to greet the queen outside Dongdu City. Among the people going to Dongdu on this trip, in addition to the queen, there is also Her Royal Highness the Princess..."

At that moment, Zhao Weiting narrated the process of welcoming Empress Wu from beginning to end. King Yu lowered his eyelids, and there was no expression on his face. He knew about the news that Empress Wu was leaving Chang'an with the princess. , he asked slowly:
"Has the queen asked me about this king?"

The reason why I asked this question was because the person who presided over the welcoming ceremony should be him, the Eastern Capital, who stayed behind, but he not only didn't go, but he didn't let the prince greet him on his behalf.
His actions also showed that the attitude of Prince Yu's palace was that they did not take the Queen seriously at all, and even deliberately tried to disgrace the Queen. In the eyes of local officials, Prince Yu suppressed the Queen's head and showed that he was Prince Dongdu is absolutely majestic.

As the son of the founding emperor Li Yuan, King Yu had been cultivating Luoyang for many years, so he was naturally qualified to show off, but now he took the initiative to ask the queen's attitude towards him. After all, he still felt somewhat guilty.

Zhao Weiting didn't understand the trickiness of it, he secretly despised it in his heart, but he quickly replied:

"Back to the prince, the queen has never mentioned you, but I took the initiative to inform the queen that the prince is sick and recuperating in the mansion, so I can't go to greet you!"

After saying that, Li Changxiao beside King Yu's face darkened, and said coldly, "Bold, Zhao Fumu, are you cursing me, Aye?"

Zhao Weiting was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and defended: "The prince has misunderstood. He is just looking for a reason to offend the queen because of his humble position. He must not dare to be disrespectful to the prince!"

"Okay!" King Yu waved his hand lightly, and said lazily: "In the next few days, Zhao Fumu, you can receive the queen on behalf of the king. The queen is coming to the Eastern Capital for the funeral. I can't look down on this funeral, so as not to be tainted with bad luck!"

King Yu made no secret of his dislike for the Queen's trip, Zhao Weiting simply pretended not to hear, quickly agreed, and was about to leave!

After walking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something, hesitated a little, and asked cautiously: "My lord, the flood has receded, can we postpone the matter of recruiting civilians to build the embankment?"

Before King Yu could speak, the eldest son Li Changxiao stood up and cursed Zhao Weiting:

"You bastard, the flood of the Yellow River will not be eliminated. How can the people of our eastern capital live and work in peace and contentment? The construction of flood control dams is originally a plan set by His Majesty for the future. It is a major event that benefits the country and the people. How can we suspend the progress of construction just because the flood recedes!" What the prince said is true!" Zhao Weiting forcefully forced out a smile, and apologized: "It's just that in recent years there have been frequent dam accidents, many civilians were washed away by the flood, and ended up with no bones left. Let's build a dam!"

Li Changxiao interrupted Zhao Weiting's words unceremoniously: "Then take the yamen servants and soldiers and arrest people from house to house for me. I have a population of hundreds of thousands in Dongdu. Are you afraid that you won't find coolies?"

King Yu frowned when he closed his eyes and meditated. Zhao Weiting wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at him with some embarrassment. Seeing that King Yu didn't express anything, he could only sigh and leave with his hands folded.

As soon as Zhao Weiting left, King Yu opened his eyes, his sharp eyes swept over Li Changxiao, and he reprimanded sharply: "Kneel down!"

"Aye! Why are you doing this?" Li Changxiao was surprised, not understanding why his father would suddenly turn his back on him.

"Kneel down!" King Yu raised his voice again, Li Changxiao panted heavily, obviously dissatisfied, but under the majesty of King Yu, he had no choice but to kneel down in front of his servants, blushing.

With the support of his steward Kang Shun, King Yu slowly walked up to Li Changxiao. Without any explanation, he stretched out his thick thigh and kicked Li Changxiao's shoulder first.

The sudden action kicked Li Changxiao, who hadn't reacted yet, staggered, leaned back, and fell to the ground.

"Father King!!!" Li Changxiao clenched his fists, stood up from the ground with a "teng", stretched his neck, stared at King Yu with red eyes, as if he was about to resist.

With a "slap", King Yu slapped Li Changxiao's face without hesitation, and then sternly reprimanded:
"How many times have my father warned you, don't deliberately instruct others to do bad things for you, if you are a little careless, you will give others a handle! But you are good, order Zhao Weiting to forcefully recruit civilian husbands, if the court traces it down in the future, you really When he dare not bite out that I, Prince Yu's Mansion, is the mastermind behind it? Use your brains in everything, don't just focus on playing tricks all day long!"

Li Changxiao argued unconvinced: "What are you afraid of, even the current emperor respects you three points, this Luoyang City, our Yu Palace is the sky!!"

When Prince Yu heard this, he became even more angry. The fat on his face trembled and he continued to reprimand: "Idiot, do you really think that Prince Yu's palace can achieve its current status because of the emperor's favor? That's not..."

Before King Yu could finish speaking, Li Changxiao interrupted directly: "Aye! You are really old, my son will leave!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed to King Yu, shook his long sleeves fiercely, and turned to leave.

"You!!" King Yu pointed at the rebellious Li Changxiao, his chest heaving with anger, Princess Xiao Jing'er and housekeeper Kang Shun hurriedly supported him left and right, and repeatedly expressed relief.

The family gathering that was originally a joyful one ended up being unhappy because of the dispute between Prince Yu and his son.

After Princess Xiao Jinger sent King Yu back to his residence, she took her maid Yuner through a long corridor, and the master and servant came to the back garden of the palace. Xiao Jinger looked around and then softly ordered Yuner:

"You stay outside, don't let anyone in!"

"Yes! Princess!"

After sending away the maid, Xiao Jinger lifted her skirt and walked alone in the tree-lined garden. When she turned around a stone gate built on a rockery, a big hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed Xiao Jinger's wrist and pulled her to the door. Behind the cover.

"Ah!" Xiao Jing'er was startled with a tender cry, and then threw her whole body into someone's arms. The familiar masculine scent made her less defensive.

The person who hugged her was Li Changxiao, the eldest son of Prince Yu.

He wrapped his hands around Xiao Jinger's waist, and kissed Xiao Jinger's neck wantonly with his wide mouth.

"Da Lang, stop!" Xiao Jinger trembled from being teased, trying to stop Li Changxiao's actions.

While Li Changxiao moved his hands up and down, he panted and asked, "The old thing is gone?"

Xiao Jing'er blushed and replied leisurely: "The slave just served him to drink the soothing soup, and he is taking a nap in the room at the moment. Da Lang, don't mess around, I have to go back now!"

Li Changxiao took a sip of the fragrance on her neck and said sarcastically: "The princess won't let me mess around, so why did you come to have a private meeting with me? Don't you expect me to mess around!"

……

Xiao Jing'er glanced over and spat softly: "You're crazy. What's happening in broad daylight? If the prince finds out, you and I will have to walk around without food!"

Li Changxiao snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of, I hope he finds out that that old thing made me lose face in public, so don't blame me for disregarding human relations and taking doves and magpies' nests!"

……
