Don't be a prince

The Taishanghuang was old and served in the Taiji Hall. The most terrifying thing was that he was in danger of being sent to be buried.

...

This is just entering the palace. After entering the palace, if you don't do your job well or annoy the nobles, you will easily be beaten to death with a stick.She is obviously a low-level official and a court lady from a good family, and she is treated the same as a slave outside the palace.You don't even need to be charged with beating and killing a court lady. Even if one or two tough people like Wei Zheng criticize you, you won't be punished too harshly.

Once entering the palace gate is as deep as the sea, and the maids who entered the palace can no longer contact their families. Those who send their daughters to be palace maids will naturally forget their existence.And even if life is spent without any danger, the maid will be kicked out of the palace when she becomes old and weak.Those who keep money carefully can live a comfortable life for a few days. If they have no money, they will either rely on the acquaintances in the palace to help them survive, or they will become beggars and rely on begging for a living, which is extremely miserable.

...

After listening to Mao Qi's narration, Li Chengqian realized that his guess was still taken for granted.

As the bottom of the upper echelons of feudal society, they are no different from the real bottom slaves.

The fate of little people will never have any influence on the flow of history!

Thinking of himself before time travel, Li Chengqian actually felt a little empathy.

They all live involuntarily, who is more noble than whom?

The carriage was turning the fifth time, and Li Chengqian knew it had arrived at the East Palace.

Sensing the carriage stopped, Mao Qi covered his clothes with one hand, and opened the curtain for Li Chengqian with the other hand.

Stepping out of the carriage and falling to the ground, Li Chengqian turned his head to Mao Qi who was getting out of the carriage and said, "Since you have followed here, you can be incorporated into the East Palace. Although the rules of the lonely East Palace are not so strict, it does not support useless people." , understand?"

Hearing that he could stay in the East Palace, Mao Qi immediately fell to his knees, too excited to speak.

As long as she leaves Tai Chi Hall, she doesn't care where she works, even if it's rough work.

Chapter 1 Is this a dragon boat?

After ordering Fang Sheng to settle her down, Li Chengqian first asked for the roster of the maids of the East Palace.

really....

There are no names on the roster, only numbers.Whether it is to count the eunuchs to save trouble, or the palace just needs code names and does not need their names, Li Chengqian feels very sad.

People can't be like pigs in a farm, they can only have one number, which is really inhumane.

Throwing the roster aside casually, Li Chengqian panted and asked Fang Sheng: "Fang Sheng, I ask you alone, why do you have your own name while all the court ladies are code names?"

Fang Sheng didn't expect the crown prince to ask this question after reading the roster, but he still answered honestly: "Returning to Your Highness, in fact, the old slave used the code name before. Although the name Fang Sheng is the old slave's common name, since arriving After the palace, only you will ask. In fact, there are very few people like Lao Nu who can remember their original names."

For some reason, Fang Sheng actually felt his eyes sore at this moment.After spending his whole life in the palace, being asked for his name by a nobleman like the prince, he felt that his life was worth it.

Seeing how moved Fang Sheng was, Li Chengqian could only sigh helplessly.

It is said that those in high positions should not have unwarranted compassion, otherwise they will live as poor saints, and being respected by others will actually accomplish nothing.However, seeing these court ladies and eunuchs don't even have names, I still feel very sad.

Picking up the roster and throwing it to Fang Sheng, Li Chengqian said: "Fang Sheng, I have a single task for you. In the roster of our East Palace, don't remember the serial number and nickname, just remember your real name. If you don't have one, then get one yourself. Well, it doesn’t matter if it’s plum blossom, as long as it has its own name.”

Fang Sheng took the roster and was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.

Ziyan, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, there is no such rule in the palace, you do this..."

"There isn't one in the palace, but there is in the East Palace. This is Gu's East Palace. Of course, Gu has the final say on everything. The difference between the East Palace and the Harem Palace doesn't need Gu to tell you!"

Seeing the prince's insistence, Ziyan had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

The fact is that, although the East Palace is not as big as a quarter of the Harem Palace, the owner of the East Palace is the prince.Even if the crown prince is not an adult, some things in the East Palace are still decided by the empress, but the crown prince still has this power.

Seeing that there was no more resistance, Fang Sheng hugged the roster gratefully and rushed out of the study.

As an old man of the two dynasties, he knew that although the desire for a name was insignificant, it was extremely precious to court ladies and eunuchs.

As Fang Sheng walked around, cheers came from an area of ​​the originally quiet East Palace from time to time, and then it immediately returned to calm.

Looking at Ziyan who was still confused, Li Chengqian sighed: "Ziyan, you are the queen mother's personal maid, a female official, so you have your own name. Come to think of it, you should have lost your name and only have a code name. You should be able to understand what you do alone."

Ziyan nodded, bowed to the prince, and stepped aside.

The prison is not far away, and with the time to make parts, Yan Lide brought a few craftsmen to the East Palace at noon.

When Yan Lide arrived, Li Chengqian was eating with a sad face.There's no way, the eunuch who used to have obsessive-compulsive disorder became a drug tester again, and as a result, this time this bastard even killed rice.He tried a good bowl of white rice layer by layer.Looking at the same rice bowl full of holes, you can tell that this guy doesn't need to eat dinner at night, let alone noon.

"Your Highness, I have already produced several sets of what you wrote in your letter. Do you have any business ideas for this?"

Glancing at the refreshed Yan Lide, Li Chengqian said helplessly: "Money, money, money, I think about making money all day long. It's not about making money, so I can't find you anymore?"

Yan Lide smiled awkwardly, then took a few steps back.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the prince just showed a little impatience, and the maids and eunuchs serving in the room cast a fierce look at him.What's the situation?

However, he couldn't help being unhappy. In the past, the shops under Jiang Zuojian sold the same things as other shops, except that the workmanship was more exquisite.

Although Chang'an City is large, there are many civilians living there, and a large number of low-level officials are very poor.Compared with the fine woodware that will be used as prisons, they are more inclined to use utensils made by ordinary carpenters.Only high-ranking officials and members of big families will deliberately buy utensils to be used as prisons.

After adopting the prince's suggestion of "small profits but quick turnover", Jiang Zuojian changed the poor situation in the past six months, and the craftsmen earned more than the money they earned as errands.The craftsmen and general supervisors who have tasted the sweetness are hoping day and night that the prince will come up with another idea so that they can live a better life.

As for the four components that originally belonged to the prince, some craftsmen felt that there were too few. The prince is also a prince, and it is more appropriate to be the ninety-five in the future, or fifty percent.

Enduring the discomfort, he ate all the food in the bowl and asked someone to remove the food. Li Chengqian walked to the desk and sat down, and asked Yan Lide to scatter all the prepared parts on the table.

I have to say that the craftsmen who will be the supervisor still have a few brushes, and they have not troubled them in making ship models.

Assembling each piece of wood, a majestic building boat was assembled in a short time.Because the letter stated that the ship was given to the Supreme Emperor, the craftsmen also carved a lifelike five-clawed dragon on the ship, but it was not colored, otherwise it would be more gorgeous.

Nodding in satisfaction, Li Chengqian said to Yan Lide: "Continue to manufacture according to this standard when we go back. The more the better, in addition, more interfaces allow people to freely decide the size of the hull and how to insert the mast. In addition to sending some In addition, the rest will be sent to the Taiji Hall. During the festival in two days, I will have a dragon boat race with the Supreme Emperor in the pond in the imperial garden."

"Dragon Boat Race?"

Yan Lide suddenly had a word in his mouth.

This is a dragon boat?Although the dragon is carved, the appearance of this boat is far from that of a dragon boat.

He took out a piece of paper to write a letter to Li Yuan, and after writing, Li Chengqian shook his left hand at Yan Lide irritably: "Hurry up and make it, don't ask so many why."

After driving away Yan Lide, Li Chengqian looked at the ship model on the table and smiled.

In later generations, he was particularly interested in models.However, because of "shyness in the pocket", I just bought a few cheap domestic products online for fun.

He had such an idea long after he had seen the superb craftsmanship of the general.Solid wood models, compared to plastic products, are even more compelling, okay?

Who said dragon boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are the greatest fun?Isn't it fun to set up model boats?

Chapter 1 Mutations

After the letter was written, Li Chengqian handed the letter and the assembled ship model to Fang Sheng and asked him to send it to the Tai Chi Hall.

The supervisor will build a lot of parts, how to use these parts to DIY a suitable boat is the most test of personal ability.

Li Tai, Li Ke and Li Lizhi had no reason not to like such activities, so Li Chengqian ordered Ziyan to enter the palace and dug the three of them out.

Send the first batch of parts made by Zuojian to the East Palace.Therefore, the four brothers and sisters hid in the study and exerted force against a pile of wooden blocks.

At this time, the gap in intelligence is reflected. Li Chengqian has the experience of later generations, so he made a ship in a short time, and arrogantly engraved the name "Prince" on the hull; Li Tai's speed can be called the second , the assembled boat is not only beautiful, but also looks dynamic, at least the counterweight will not roll over after being launched into the water; the third fastest is Li Lizhi, but the boat she assembled looks beautiful, but it is not rolled over when it is launched into the water. It will definitely turn over.

Li Ke was the slowest one. Because the supervisor carved out many small soldiers, Li Ke was busy placing soldiers on the deck and had no time to care about the hull.It seems that it will turn over when it enters the water.

However, Li Chengqian did not intend to speak. The fun of DIY lies in the hands-on process. Although there are other funs, they must be discounted in half.

Seeing how the three of them were assembling the hull, Li Chengqian felt a flash of inspiration, and suddenly had another idea.

The craftsmanship of the general supervisors is so superb, it is really hard not to give them a chance to make money.

Carefully putting the assembled ship model aside, Li Chengqian walked to the desk, picked up a pen and began to write a letter to the supervisor.

As for the tools for drawing, there is only a triangular ruler that he roughly made himself. Although it is a bit irregular, it can be used barely.

After recording the production ideas and samples of the "building blocks", and under the guise of "cultivating children's intelligence", Li Chengqian handed over the letter to the carpenter who came to deliver the parts.

"Hold it. It's not difficult to make this kind of thing called building blocks. You don't need your exquisite craftsmen to do it. Apprentices are enough. You just need to send these words and this letter to Yan Lide, and he will do it." I can understand the meaning of loneliness."

The carpenter gave the prince a grateful look, and after saluting respectfully, he left the East Palace with the letter.

After seeing off the craftsmen, Li Chengqian looked at his younger brothers and sisters.

Li Tai has finished his ship model and is preparing to make a second one, so be prepared.Li Ke's soldiers had just finished arranging it before thinking of carefully building the hull.

Although Li Lizhi was done, seeing how she was still fiddling with it, one could tell that her interest was not exhausted.

Without disturbing the three of them, Li Chengqian was going to go to the kitchen to have a look, and clean up the eunuch who was trying to eat.

Damn it, the food you eat is riddled with holes, how can you still be called an orphan?

Seeing the prince left the study, several eunuchs standing outside immediately followed behind him.

It looks normal, the prince goes out, no matter what he has to follow behind him.

only....

After walking for a certain distance, Li Chengqian looked back at the eunuchs behind him and felt a little unnatural.

Although I didn't remember the names of the eunuchs in the East Palace, but after such a long time, they were familiar.

Li Chengqian, who thought he didn't have face blindness, unexpectedly discovered that more than half of the eunuchs following him at this time were unknown to him.

This is strange, although the East Palace is also part of the Harem, but a wall still divides the East Palace and the Harem into two independent "yards".If you are not an eunuch from the East Palace, unless you have something to visit, you will not appear in the East Palace, let alone follow him, the crown prince.

Is it....

Although he didn't remember how unlucky "Li Chengqian" was during this period in history, he still put his hands back into his cuffs.

In his cuff, hidden a saber.

Originally, the general supervisor made a small knife and gave it to him as a self-defense thing, but after seeing the finished product, Li Chengqian still drew a picture and asked the general supervisor to make a saber.

Although this body is only eight years old, Li Chengqian is confident that at least he will not be caught by the eunuchs behind him.

Walking through a corner of the corridor, Li Chengqian quickly jumped onto the guardrail below, caught the neck of the first eunuch who turned over at the right time, and directly touched his throat with the sharp saber.

The sudden change made the eunuch terrified, the tip of the saber slightly pierced the oily skin, making him dare not make any changes for a while.

"The ones behind, don't turn around, otherwise, Gu will kill him!"

Hearing the prince's voice, the eunuchs didn't dare to go any further.

"Put your hand down, if you raise it a little, Gu will kill you!"

Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief after threatening the hostage in his hand and put down his hand. The sweat on his forehead was already dripping out.

How difficult it is to find a countermeasure in such a short period of time. Fortunately, he often goes to the kitchen and knows the way along the way, otherwise, who knows when these guys will attack!

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

The eunuch who was restrained by Li Chengqian trembled all over, and his trousers were inadvertently wet.

Clenching the saber in his hand, Li Chengqian snorted coldly: "I want to ask you what you are going to do! Don't think that you can't recognize that you are from outside. Although there are many eunuchs in the East Palace who don't know what their names are, they still have faces. I remember it. You guys sneaked in, what exactly is your intention?"

On the other side of the corner of the corridor, there was a sudden silence...

The crown prince actually memorized the faces of the eunuchs in the East Palace. For them, they didn't know whether they should be honored or should laugh or cry.

They didn't expect that the prince could remember the faces of the eunuchs in the East Palace. When they sneaked in, even the guards at the door didn't recognize them. Unexpectedly, when they got close to the prince, they capsized.

After a long silence, a particularly serious voice sounded: "Your Highness, if we say that we came to the East Palace just to see you, without any malice, would you believe me?"

Li Chengqian sneered and said: "There is no malice? A few eunuchs whom I have never seen approached Gu quietly. Do you think Gu will believe that you are just to take a look at Gu? Tell me quickly, who ordered you to come here? , Gu may be able to save your life.

If you don't say it, heh, you don't know that Li Jing has adjusted the guard system of the East Palace.It won't take long for the guards to patrol here. At that time, even if they want to save your life, there is nothing they can do! "

With the enemy outnumbered, Li Chengqian could only make it up.

Guards do come and patrol, but there's no telling where they'll go.

Although he had a saber in his hand, he still knew exactly how much he weighed.

If these eunuchs swarmed up, he would kill two at most, and he would still be subdued in the end.

Chapter 1 For the Alliance

On the other side of the corridor corner, there was another silence.

After a while, the serious voice said, "Your Highness, although you practice martial arts, you can't subdue Liu Fu in such a short period of time. You must have weapons in your hands."

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "That's right, Gu's knife is now on Liu Fu's neck, if you dare to step forward, Gu will kill him!"
