Chapter 4
"Can we do well today?" Li Chengqian asked.

"No problem!" the craftsman said.

"Okay, you go! Done well, I will reward you a lot." Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The two bowed and retreated.

Li Chengqian walked out with a limp, Wang Quan immediately asked people to get ready to walk, Li Chengqian had a leg problem and it was inconvenient to walk a long distance, so he used this instead.

"Lang Jun, where are we going?" Wang Quan asked.

Li Chengqian looked at the East Palace in front of him and didn't know where to go for a while.

Taiji Palace was built during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. It was called Daxing Palace in the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, and it was not renamed Taiji Palace until the first year of Emperor Ruizong Jingyun in Tang Dynasty.

The East Palace is located on the east side of Taiji Palace, with a width of 832.3 meters and the same length as the wall of Taiji Palace.

The East Palace, also known as the Spring Palace and the Chu Palace, is the place where the princes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties lived.

The most important palace in the East Palace is Xiande Hall, which was called Jiade Hall in the Sui Dynasty and was renamed Xiande Hall in the early Tang Dynasty.

Later, when Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian became the prince, he avoided the taboo of his name and renamed it Mingde Hall.

Xiande Hall is the first main hall of the East Palace, where the crown prince met with officials and held major political events.

Behind it are Chongjiao Hall, Lizheng Hall, Guangtian Hall and Chengen Hall.

The East Palace is the same as the Ouchi. It is also divided into two according to the layout of the front court and the back bedroom. The back of the Guangtian Palace is the place where the prince and his family live.

Li Chengqian came outside the hall, sat on the step that had been prepared, thinking about where he should go.

On both sides of Chengen Hall are Yichun Palace and Yiqiu Palace. Behind Yichun Palace is Yichun Beiyuan, which is a landscape garden for the prince to play and hunt. Generally speaking, it is the back garden of the East Palace.

With the current situation, it is really not suitable to go to the back garden to play, and he doesn't like hunting or anything.

Where are you going?Li Chengqian thought about the entire building of the East Palace, and the Chongxian Hall appeared in his mind.

In the East Palace, the Chongxian Pavilion is also a very important place.

It was Li Er who built a place for Prince Li Chengqian to study in the 13th year of Zhenguan. It was similar to the Hongwen Library belonging to Menxia Province. It later became an aristocratic school in the Tang Dynasty and a large library in the Tang Dynasty.

Later, Li Xian, the son of Emperor Gaozong, became the crown prince. In order to avoid the taboo, it was renamed Chongwenguan.

Where is he in the mood to study now?

Maybe they will meet Yu Zhining, Kong Yingda, and Zhang Xuansu at that time, these three people are not good at anything.

Staring at him, the prince, all day long, if he made a slight mistake, he would criticize Li Chengqian's mistakes sharply.

And one is more ruthless than the other, in fact, it is just using the prince Li Chengqian to brush up their sense of existence.

Let Li Er know how hard they are assisting the prince.

For this reason, Mrs. Sui'an, the prince's wet nurse, once persuaded Kong Yingda, thinking that the prince was old, so he should not always criticize him face to face, and save some face.

But Lao Kong replied directly: "Meng Guo is so kind, even if you die, you will not hate it!"

It is a happy thing to train the prince. If you train the prince well, you can also gain a wave of reputation by the way. From then on, you will become famous and respected forever.

If the prince is not well trained, it is because the prince is stubborn and does not listen to the education, so what does it have to do with them.

What's more, since Li Chengqian had a leg problem, his temperament has changed drastically, and he has begun to imitate himself.

"Didn't you say that the royal father is sick? Go and visit." Li Chengqian said.

After thinking about it, Li Chengqian finally decided to visit Li Er, and show his filial piety by the way, trying to make a good impression in Li Er's heart.

Li Chengqian and his party turned to Da Nei.

"Your Highness!" Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, the imperial guards outside the hall hurriedly saluted.

With the support of Wang Quan, Li Chengqian stepped down and said to the imperial guard: "Father is in the palace!"

"Your Majesty is reviewing the memorial in the hall." Qian Niuwei said.

"I heard that the father's dragon body is ill! The widow specially came to visit." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness, wait a moment, I'll report to you!" Qian Niuwei said, then turned and went inside to inform Li Er about the prince's arrival.

After a while, Qian Niuwei came out, and Li Er's personal servant Wang Yuan came out with him.

"His Royal Highness!" Wang Yuan saluted.

"Father, would you like to see me?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Everyone, let Your Highness enter, Your Highness, please!" Yuan Bao turned sideways and stretched out his hand to invite Li Chengqian to enter.

Li Chengqian climbed up the steps and walked inward.

"Is the father better?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Everyone has taken the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, and their complexion has improved a lot," Wang Yuan said.

"Boss Wang! The medicine has been decocted. Do you want to take it to His Majesty?" A young eunuch came to Wang Yuan to ask for instructions.

"Have you tried the temperature of this medicine before? Is it hot?" Before Wang Yuan could speak, Li Chengqian asked first.

This traditional Chinese medicine is too hot to burn my mouth, and it is too cold and I am afraid that it will lose some of its efficacy.

"This..." The little eunuch didn't know how to answer for a while, after all, this is medicine, not something, how can he just try it casually?

Usually, when the medicine was cooked, it was brought directly to Wang Yuan, and waited for a while to cool down before sending it to Li Er. The temperature was really hard to control.

"Bring the medicine here!" Li Chengqian said.

The little eunuch looked at Wang Yuan, not knowing what to do!
"Your Highness! Who is this?" Wang Yuan asked.

"Naturally, I want to taste the decoction, so that I can deliver the decoction with just the right temperature to the hands of the emperor in time." Li Chengqian said.

Tasting the decoction in person is a story of 24 filial piety, which tells the story of Emperor Hanwen personally trying the decoction when his mother was ill.

Li Chengqian just took the opportunity to imitate, in order to show his filial piety to Li Erbiao, and change his image in Li Erbiao's heart, which would be beneficial for him to consolidate his position as prince.

Wang Yuan waved his hand and asked the little eunuch to bring over the soup.

Li Chengqian took a sip without hesitation, he only frowned bitterly, and Li Chengqian put the decoction back into the tray.

He admired Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty. Such a bitter decoction can last for three years, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"The temperature of this medicine is not bad. Father can drink it, but it's a bit bitter! Let people prepare some candied fruit. After father drinks the decoction, eat some candied fruit to remove the bitterness." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness! Let's enter the palace quickly! Don't make everyone wait." Wang Yuan said, and ordered people to prepare candied fruit.

Li Chengqian had a leg problem and was unable to move. In order to take care of Li Chengqian, Wang Yuan walked slowly into the hall with him.

Wang Yuan first sent someone into the hall, delivered the decoction to Li Er, and told Li Er what happened just now.

Before entering the hall, they had to take off their shoes. After all, they were still sitting on the floor.

Li Chengqian and Li Chengqian came to the main hall, Li Er had already finished the soup and medicine, and there were some candied fruit in his mouth, so his mouth would not be so bitter.

"I have seen my father!" Li Chengqian saluted Li Er.

"Exemption!" Li Erdao: "Give the crown prince a seat!"

Immediately, an eunuch brought a seat for Li Chengqian and placed it in front of Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian sat cross-legged on the mat, and the considerate eunuch brought a token for the prince to rely on.

This place is not above the court, there are no such strict rules, and there is no need to be so rigid, everyone is very casual.
