Tang Fengzhi Chengqian

Hongyu withdrew silently, slowly walked out of the apse, and couldn't help flashing back to her mind that night when she was called to the Ganlu Palace by the emperor...

"Why didn't you present the apricot cake to the imperial dining room?" The emperor's tone was very calm, so calm that it made her afraid.She has followed the emperor for many years, from the Qin Palace to the present Ganlu Hall, the calmer the emperor, the angrier he is.

So, she could only try her best to calm her trembling tone and tell the whole story from the beginning to the end.

When the emperor heard that the apricot flower cake in the imperial dining room had been poisoned, the emperor suddenly stood up and paced slowly. Very well. You go back first, remember, there is no need to report this matter to His Royal Highness King Zhongshan. Go down."

She hastened to kneel down respectfully and salute, then retreated silently.

When she followed Eunuch Li Fu out of the Ganlu Hall, she was puzzled, how did the emperor know that the pastries presented today were not from the Imperial Dining Room?

"Eunuch Fu, how did the emperor know?" She couldn't help asking.

Li Fu turned back to look at her, that look was very sharp, she couldn't help trembling, regretting it very much, although she was the grand maid of Ganlu Palace, she didn't know Li Fu very well, Li Fu had been with the emperor for many years, time Earlier than anyone, and notoriously cautious.I just asked myself that, I really overstepped the rules...

But what she didn't expect was that Li Fu just gave her a sharp look, then turned around and said in a low voice, "The emperor has been used to the taste since he was a child, how could he not know?"

She was taken aback, doesn't the emperor not like eating apricot cake?

When he reached Qihui Hall, Li Fu suddenly said again, "Hongyu, take good care of His Royal Highness King Zhongshan, it will benefit you in the future."

.. ......

At that time, Hongyu was really dissatisfied, and she was demoted from the Grand Maid of Ganlu Hall to Qihui Hall, but Hongyu also knew that the emperor's arrangement must have deep meaning, she did not dare to reveal her injustice, she only dared to test it secretly, such an eighth What is so special about the old prince?

But unexpectedly, when they met for the first time, His Royal Highness King Zhongshan put her aside.The second time he wanted to serve His Highness King Zhongshan in the morning, His Highness seemed to see through the grievance in her heart, and made her very embarrassed with just a few words.From then on, she put away the contempt in her heart and served her carefully.

But now, seeing how much the emperor values ​​and loves His Highness, Hongyu thought to herself, it seems that Eunuch Li Fu is right, as long as His Highness King Zhongshan is taken care of...

When Cheng Qian woke up, he blinked his eyes in a daze, and his consciousness was not fully awake until he heard a familiar soft call with surprise, "Ganer——"

Cheng Qian followed the prestige, and saw the red-yellow gown. He moved his gaze upwards in a daze, with sharp eyes like cold stars, a straight nose, and slightly raised lips. His expression was pleasantly surprised and somewhat relieved...Father Emperor?

"Does Gan'er still feel unwell?" Emperor Taizong sat next to Cheng Qian, touched Cheng Qian's forehead, and asked softly.

Cheng Qian was startled at first, then slowly came back to his senses, feeling the warm palm with a slightly callused hand resting on his forehead, trembling slightly in his heart, he couldn't help but look intently, Emperor Taizong's face was a little tired, but there was no concealment between his brows and eyes worries and concerns.

"Father..." He couldn't help murmuring.

"What's wrong? Is something uncomfortable?" Emperor Taizong frowned and asked, then turned his head and shouted, "Li Fu! Tell Zhao Fang to come in!"

"Father..." Seeing this, Cheng Qian hurriedly opened his mouth. After speaking, he found that his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't help coughing dryly, "Wait..."

"Don't talk, Gan'er, you have been in a coma for two days." Emperor Taizong frowned slightly, pressed Chengqian's body that was about to sit up, and comforted him softly, "Be good, be obedient."

Li Fu, who came in after hearing the call, hurriedly handed over the tea he had poured earlier.

Emperor Taizong took it, put it on the table next to the couch, bent down to support Chengqian, and let Chengqian lean in his arms, Chengqian's heart trembled again, and he couldn't help secretly looking at Taizong who was close at hand. With a glance of the emperor, he saw Emperor Taizong gently adjusting his immobile legs clumsily and earnestly, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Emperor Taizong adjusted the posture of Chengqian's legs before he picked up the tea on the table, handed it over, and said in a low voice, "Come on, dry, drink some water to moisten your throat."

Cheng Qian leaned against Emperor Taizong's warm and broad arms, holding the tea bowl in both hands, and after taking a sip, he drank slowly. Leaning against the strange yet familiar embrace behind him, he suddenly felt at ease.

After drinking, he turned his head to meet Emperor Taizong's concerned expression, Chengqian's heart warmed slightly, and he smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Father, my son is fine."

Emperor Taizong patted Chengqian's head, staring at Chengqian's pale and thin face, his heart ached for a moment, but his face glared, "Is it up to you to decide what to do? I'll talk about it after reading it." After finishing speaking, he waved to Zhao Fang, the imperial physician who had been waiting at the side, to step forward, and said calmly, "Take the pulse of King Zhongshan. Be careful."

Zhao Fang hurriedly replied, "I obey the order." After finishing speaking, she stepped forward, took the pulse, and asked some questions carefully.Then he folded his hands and retreated, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Your Highness's fever has subsided, and there is no serious problem now. However, Your Highness is a little weak and needs to be recuperated."

Only then did Emperor Taizong slightly loosen his frowning brows, nodded and said, "Go down and write a prescription. Li Fu, keep an eye on it."

After Li Fu and Zhao Fang retreated, Hongyu and Zhu'er brought up the meal, Cheng Qian took a closer look, it seemed to be porridge?

"Go down." Emperor Taizong waved his hand and looked down at Chengqian. Seeing Chengqian staring at the meal with black and white eyes blinking, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, reached out to pick up the clear porridge on the table, and blew on it. He said, "This is rice porridge made with chicken soup."

Chengqian looked at Emperor Taizong's earnest expression of blowing hot air, and was slightly taken aback, his heart suddenly felt sour and sweet.

"Come here." Emperor Taizong felt that the temperature was not so hot, so he handed the bowl to Chengqian, and said carefully, "Be careful of the heat."

Chengqian's eyes were slightly sour. It turned out that the father also had such a caring side, or that the father had always been so caring, but he had never given this kind of caring to himself in his previous life.

Cheng Qian took it with a shy smile, and slowly ate it. In order to divert the complicated and agitated emotions in his heart at this time, Cheng Qian concentrated on eating the chicken soup and porridge, so Cheng Qian also ignored that behind him, Emperor Taizong softened his mouth. His expression changed, mixed with some distressed and doting eyes.

**************************

Empress Changsun sat on the main seat of the Lizheng Hall, looking seriously at Concubine Yin and Concubine Yang who were sitting below her, crying like pear blossoms with rain.

Concubine Yin wiped away the tears from her face, and said with a choked voice, "My lord, forgive me, I lost my composure for a while."

Concubine Yang just wiped away the tears from her face, and looked at Liang Wang Li Min who was kneeling on the ground with red eyes.

Empress Changsun glanced at Concubine Yang lightly, then turned her head and said to Concubine Yin, "Mothers always worry about their children. Sister Yin's heart, I understand. The King of Chu is young and ignorant, so she will have to worry about Sister Yin in the future. A lot of discipline is the way to go. The emperor said that this time it was only a slight punishment, and if there is a next time, it will be different."

Concubine Yin bowed her head in response, Empress Changsun glanced at Concubine Yin, nodded slightly, and signaled Concubine Yin to step back with the King of Chu who also had the same sleepy expression.

But when Concubine Yin was leaving, she seemed to want to signal Concubine Yang with her eyes, but Concubine Yang just looked at King Liang who was kneeling on the ground, then turned around and led King Chu away.This glance was quite subtle, if it wasn't for the eldest grandson's meticulous attention, he might not have noticed it.

Is that really the case?

The eldest grandson sighed softly in his heart.Looking at Concubine Yang, seeing Concubine Yang's brows and eyes seemed to be slightly uneven, she sighed in her heart, after all, she was once a noble lady of the royal family, even if she no longer has that status now, her arrogance is still buried in her bones.This time the emperor greatly reduced her face, so it's no wonder she harbored resentment.

Then he said softly, "King Liang has suffered a lot this time, Feng Ye, take His Highness King Liang down to freshen up."

Feng Ye responded with a low voice, and retreated with the somewhat ignorant King Liang.

When he couldn't see the figure of Maple Leaf, he waved away the maids and eunuchs around him.The eldest grandson looked at Concubine Yang solemnly, "Concubine Yang, I have a question for you."

Concubine Yang was overwhelmed by the eldest grandson's awe-inspiring demeanor and such a solemn appearance, she replied in a low voice, "My lady, please."

"Did Concubine Yang tell His Royal Highness King Liang that King Zhongshan is a waste and not worthy of being a brother?" Queen Changsun asked.

Concubine Yang was startled, and subconsciously stood up, "I have never said that before! Madam, where did you say that?"

Empress Changsun stared at Concubine Yang solemnly, her sharp and cold gaze made Concubine Yang sweat profusely from behind.After a while, Empress Changsun relaxed her expression slightly, beckoned Concubine Yang to sit down, and then sighed softly, "I didn't believe it when Tai'er told me, but when I heard His Royal Highness Liang Wang said this, not only Tai'er Son, there are palace maids and eunuchs..." Looking at Concubine Yang with a pale face, she said softly, "Sister, now you know why the emperor is so angry, not only punishing King Liang and King Chu, but also you and Sister Yin. Are you fined together? Sister, I know you have always been able to educate children. Although the King of Wu is young, he is smart and sensible. No one knows about the civil and military affairs of the court? I believe it is definitely not my sister’s fault that King Liang will say such a thing this time. , but the emperor thinks so now, sister, I think, you should think about it carefully, is there any ignorant person who is talking too much in front of King Liang?" Empress Changsun said very earnestly at the end.

Concubine Yang looked at Empress Changsun, nodded in half astonishment and half hesitation.

Empress Changsun smiled gently.

After seeing Concubine Yang and King Liang go away, Empress Changsun put away the smile on her face and looked dignified.

Feng Ye stepped forward lightly, looked at Empress Changsun's dignified expression, and asked in doubt, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Empress Changsun shook her head slightly, and sighed softly, "I was just thinking, it would be great if Gan'er wasn't born in this palace..."

Feng Ye chuckled, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, seeing that the Emperor loves His Highness King Zhongshan so much, His Highness will definitely be well."

Empress Changsun said to herself, "Hey, I hope so."

***********************

After eating, Emperor Taizong just wanted to support Cheng Qian to lie down, Cheng Qian frowned indistinctly, and said softly, "Father, I have been lying down for a long time, I want to sit for a while."

Emperor Taizong stared at Chengqian's pitiful face, and there was a little bit of coquettish unconsciousness in his tone, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, feeling a little happy, so he raised the corner of his mouth and nodded, "Alright, please sit down longer , so you don’t have to turn into a little chubby pig.” While talking, he jokingly patted Cheng Qian’s belly that was a little swollen because he had just eaten.

Chengqian's heart was dark, his face flushed immediately, and he wanted to refute something, but because of the momentary shock and embarrassment, he could only try his best to widen his eyes at Emperor Taizong who was still jokingly smiling.

Even though he had experienced so many winds and rains before his death, he had wandered around the world for many years after his death, and had seen countless joys and sorrows, prosperity and decadence, but facing this handsome and mighty man in front of him, his father, he still couldn't help emotionally. Affected, a movement, a word, thinking and guessing, sour for it, sweet for it, a wry smile in my heart, because is he his father?Is he the most admirable father?

"What's wrong with Qian'er?" Emperor Taizong put away his playful smile and touched Cheng Qian's forehead. Why did this child suddenly feel depressed?

Cheng Qian hurriedly restrained his thoughts, shook his head, and blinked, "Father, I was thinking about that...er, that strange mouse..." He casually changed the subject, thinking that the strange guinea pig probably ran away long ago?Or... murdered by someone? ?It appeared so strangely, Chengqian wondered in his heart, who released it?It happened to be seen by Qing Que, Li You and Li Yin, to provoke a dispute between the three of them?To take the opportunity to plot chaos?

"Is this the one Gan'er is talking about?" Emperor Taizong pointed to the guinea pig that suddenly popped out from under the couch, wagging its tail and blinking at Cheng Qian.

Cheng Qian stared straight at the guinea pig wagging its head and tail, no, yes, right?

Emperor Taizong smiled, "Do you like it?" After finishing speaking, he suddenly reached out to catch the guinea pig. Just as he was about to escape, he was caught, and he could only keep kicking his legs and screaming sadly at Chengqian.

"Father...Is it yours?" Cheng Qian looked at Emperor Taizong's skillful movements, and suddenly made a bold guess in his heart.

Emperor Taizong smiled, his smile was very cunning, "It will be yours from now on."

The author has something to say: PS: About food——In the early Tang Dynasty, everyone was very frugal and not so extravagant.In the late Tang Dynasty, the pursuit of extravagant food began.Because there is no way to find out the specific diet dishes, so the diet dishes in this article are purely fabricated.

PS: Concubine Yin, the daughter of Yin Shishi, Yin Shishi once killed Li Yuan's son Li Zhiyun. Later, Li Yuan entered Chang'an and killed Yin Shishi. Shi was assigned to the Qin Palace and became a maidservant. Later, she became Li Er's concubine and gave birth to Li You. After Li Er ascended the throne, she became one of the four concubines.Li You later rebelled, and Concubine Yin was demoted to concubine.

ps: The four concubines are - Concubine Yang (who is related to Li Er as a cousin), Concubine Yin, Concubine Wei, a very beautiful woman (married into the Qin Palace as a widow with an oil bottle), and Concubine Hui.Not to mention their titles.In addition, there is also a Yang family, who is beautiful and beautiful, and is good at singing and dancing.It is said that after the eldest grandson died of illness, Li Er once wanted to make her a concubine. ==(Deeply admire Li Er's "dare to do and dare to do"...)
