The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 188 The emperor also has helpless times

"Grandpa with big beard, beautiful grandma...!"

When Li Duoduo saw Li Shimin and Queen Changsun walking over together, she quickly jumped down from a stone bench, ran over happily on her short legs, and finally threw herself into the arms of Li Shimin and Queen Changsun. .

This is a separate courtyard of the Princess Mansion, where Huang Bao was looking. Li Duoduo has met Li Shimin and Queen Changsun several times here.

Li Duoduo and Empress Changsun really liked their little granddaughter so much that they couldn't get enough of their little granddaughter every time they came, but this time they felt a little sad.

Because Li Duoduo, who was sitting in Li Shimin's arms today, raised her little head and looked at Li Shimin and Queen Changsun with some reluctance and said: "Grandpa with big beard, beautiful grandma, we may not be able to see each other again for a while?"

Li Shimin was surprised and asked quickly: "What's wrong? Duoduo, has someone discovered you?"
Is it the Cheng Heizi you found? It's okay. Tell Grandpa Big Beard, Grandpa Big Beard, go teach that Cheng Heizi a lesson. How dare he not let us meet? "

Li Shimin's words made Li Duoduo laugh: "No, bearded grandpa, Grandpa Hei didn't notice, and Grandpa Hei is very good to me. Don't lecture him. We can't meet again because my father has already given me a lesson." The ultimatum is that I will go back to Lijiacun with him immediately after he finishes the auction.

This time when I go back, I don’t know when it will be until I think about it. I will miss you. "As he said that, Li Duoduo showed an expression of reluctance and pursed his lips, looking very uncomfortable.

This little expression also made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun feel distressed. Looking at Li Duoduo, Empress Changsun fondled Li Duoduo's little head and said: "Duoduo, you don't want that song, even if you are not in Chang'an, Grandpa and Grandma can also go to Lijia Village to visit you, and if you want to eat or want anything, you can find someone to bring a letter to me and your grandpa, and your grandpa and I can send it to you."

"Yeah!" Li Duoduo nodded, leaned her little head in Li Shimin's arms and said, "Actually, I just can't bear to leave you. I always feel that you are better than Grandpa Hei and Grandma Xian. I also like Grandpa Hei and Grandma Xian. The eldest dad, the second dad, the third dad, etc. But I don’t know why, but I prefer the bearded grandpa and the beautiful grandma. When I am with you, I feel as if I am with my dad, and I feel very cordial.

I never want to be separated from you. "

The words were truly touching, and moved Li Shimin and Empress Changsun deeply. The two looked at each other at this moment, and their hearts were filled with sadness. Afterwards, the three of them got close to each other for a while, and then Li Shimin and Empress Changsun left again. And this time I leave, I don’t know how long it will be before we see each other again.

In the carriage back to the palace, Queen Changsun was silent all the time. Li Shimin was also lamenting on the side. Seeing Queen Changsun's silence, Li Shimin also had something to say, mainly because what Li Duoduo said just now touched Li Shimin and Queen Changsun. Very deep.

Children's words are the most truthful words, because children cannot lie, and their words must be the most true.

Li Shimin knew what his queen was thinking now and what she was sad about, but Li Shimin also had his own helplessness.

"Guanyin, are you blaming me?" Li Shimin asked bravely.But Empress Changsun looked back at Li Shimin, her eyes turned slightly red and said: "Your Majesty, why should I blame you? In fact, I also know the pain in Your Majesty's heart. You also love Duoduo very much. If there is a little possibility, you will I don’t want Duoduo to come back to us, so I can’t blame you. If you want to blame, blame me at the beginning. Why did I abandon Li An and create today’s situation? My child, everything is my fault.”

After saying that, Queen Changsun cried loudly, and Li Shimin looked at the crying Queen Changsun and hugged Queen Changsun helplessly and bitterly in his arms. At this time, Li Shimin felt miserable in his heart.

It is said in this world that being an emperor means you have everything, but who knows that the emperor himself also has his own helplessness.

The eldest son who has not been heard from for many years has appeared, but now he has been established as the prince for many years, and now the court has stabilized. If it is revealed that the emperor's eldest son has returned from outside, it will definitely cause a fight between people with ulterior motives.

The prince is not the eldest son, and the eldest son is not the prince. This will only cause rounds of internal fighting in the court. Maybe you will say, it would be better if there is no fighting, and brothers can live in harmony and reunite as a family, but is this possible?

Li An has a very good character. He may not have come back for the throne, but what does Li Chengqian think?
What would the officials of the Tang Dynasty think, especially those who accepted death, if they had to let the eldest son become the prince, what should they do? If Li Chengqian was deposed, the two brothers would inevitably become enemies.

Empress Changsun knew the key inside, and Li Shimin also knew the key inside, so the two could only remain silent. This was the emperor's helplessness.

Originally, Li Shimin was not in the right position. Those noble families despised him and ignored him. If his son killed each other again, then he would really have failed as an emperor. So now Li Shimin can only He felt wronged by Li An and Li Duoduo. Even if he loved them both again, he could not expose their identities.

This is a big, big helplessness, and also a big, big guilt. Of course, Li An has no idea about this guilt. At this time, Li An is busy visiting with Li Zhi. Soap workshop.

On the second day after Li An came back, Li Zhi got the news, and he couldn't wait to come over on the third day. The reason why Li Zhi came to Li An this time was, firstly, that he missed his good big brother, and secondly, he wanted to come Looking at the good things that my good brother brought from his hometown, the last thing he did was to get invitations from the auction house to his good brother. This time he had to take away at least thirty invitations by himself.

Li An was surprised when he heard that he wanted so much. He followed Li Zhi and told Li An that since the news that Li An wanted to auction the watch spread, no matter whether they were in the palace or outside the palace, as long as they had something to do with him, Li Zhi , they all asked themselves to get the invitations. These more than 30 invitations were due to Li Zhi’s recommendation, otherwise at least fifty or sixty would have been needed.

Li Zhi's words made Li An laugh, because it seemed that his auction had aroused the favor of the upper-class dignitaries in Chang'an. This would be the best. In fact, it would be best if more of these people came. After all, the auction house If there are fewer people, having more people will not only play a publicity role and lay the foundation for the second and third auctions, but also the price will be raised faster if there are more people.

Although Li An will donate all the money from the watch auction, the remaining items and the money from the auction will go into his own pocket, so the more people, the better.
