Tang Fengzhi Chengqian

On this day, Emperor Taizong ordered that the children of the royal family and officials must form teams to participate in the Cuju competition, with no less than ten people in each team.And the team is not limited.

Cheng Qian left from Qihui Hall and walked slowly all the way to Qihui Hall.

Changle and Yuzhang took turns holding Gao Yang and following Chengqian, talking in a low voice and laughing non-stop.

"Brother, I heard people say that Brother Tai, Brother Yu, and Brother Min have been recruiting people early in the morning. I don't think anyone will come to Brother's side for this pre-match meeting today." Chang Le worried. .

"Well, then brother, I can try to be quiet and watch the game with peace of mind." Cheng Qian said indifferently, grabbed the Gun Mouse that had slipped into his clothes again, and frowned, "Gun Gun, why do you always like to put it in your clothes?" Drilling? If you do this again, I will tell Xiao Yinzi to stew you!"

Gun Roll blinked, tilted his head innocently, and swept Cheng Qian's face lightly with his tail.

"Come on! It's useless to act like a baby!" Cheng Qian stared.

"Brother, are you really not worried?" Yuzhang asked softly, also very worried.In her opinion, it is really unfair that the father ordered her brother to participate even though he knew that his brother was inconvenient to move around!And my brother is different from Tai and the others. My brother almost lives in the palace and has never traveled with those officials' children. Who will join my brother's team?

Cheng Qian raised his head and tilted his head to smile. The smile was shallow, but it showed a different kind of willful and unrestrained taste, "It's okay! Yuzhang, don't worry."

Turning the corner, it is the Xiande Hall. Before arriving at the Xiande Hall, I heard bursts of cheers and playfulness.

Chengqian couldn't help smiling.Still so lively...

Walking into Xiande Hall, let Xiao Yinzi push him to the second row of steps on the high platform, where Li Ke is opposite to him.Qing Que is next to me, Li You is opposite Qing Que, and then Li Yin...

Cheng Qian raised his head and smiled slightly at Li Ke.Li Ke also smiled gently.

In this more than a month, the brothers would not be sneering at themselves, and it was Li Ke and Qing Que who took advantage of the opportunity.

Qingque is her own brother, although she didn't or didn't dare to, but she didn't have much enthusiasm, maybe Qingque was busy with Cuju?But Li Ke visited the door a few times in the past month or so, gave him some small things, and played chess with him.

After a few drumbeats, Chengqian saw his father, whom he hadn't seen for more than a month, walk up to the highest platform in a full suit.

Everyone stood up to praise and salute, Chengqian also bowed respectfully and bowed to praise and salute.

After saluting, Cheng Qian lowered his head and never looked up.

Emperor Taizong said in a loud voice, "I hope that the boys will perform well in this Cuju competition. When the [-]th Tuli Khan arrives next month, give me a good show! Now! I don't want to talk nonsense, give me Hurry up and form a team!"

Then, with a clatter, the officials' disciples who were standing under His Highness Xian De hurried to the princes.

Sure enough, only the princes formed a team, the others did not.

Qingque, Li You, Li Min, and Li Keqian all gathered a lot of people.

Du He and Chu Shi from the Netherlands joined Qingque's team, and Zhao Jie joined Li You's team.

Cheng Qian raised his head slightly, resting his chin, thoughtful, and seemed to understand why his father made such a fun with such a big fanfare.

"Your Highness!" While Cheng Qian was thinking, a loud voice suddenly startled him.Cheng Qian looked down and saw several people standing in front of him.

They are Du Gou, Cheng Huailiang, Chang Sun Chong, and Fang Yizhi.

Cheng Qian was taken aback, "You guys are..."

Du Gou stepped forward, cupped his hands at Chengqian and said with a smile, "Your Highness, we want to form a team with Your Highness."

Cheng Qian was stunned for a moment, then he looked solemn and said seriously, "If you team up with me, you will lose."

Du Gou was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the young man with delicate brows and exceptionally clean eyes. Seeing that his serious expression was not joking, he couldn't help smiling, "I believe Your Highness."

Cheng Qian stared at Du Gou in a daze, believe it?

The rest of the people also cupped their hands and said to Cheng Qian, "We all trust Your Highness!"

Du Gou added, "It doesn't matter if you lose!" He raised his eyes to stare at Cheng Qian, and smiled, "As long as I can be with Your Highness."

Cheng Qian stared at Du Gou, and after a while, the corner of his mouth curled up, revealing a slight smile, and a sly look flashed in his eyes, "You said it."

"Yes!" Du Gou smiled.

Cheng Qian turned his head to look at Cheng Huailiang, and smiled maliciously, "Cheng Huailiang, but General Cheng wants you to listen to me?"

Cheng Huailiang rubbed his head and giggled, "My father said that he should listen to His Highness. He also said that if His Highness sells me to farm and catch fish, I have to go too."

Cheng Qian couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The others laughed too.

While talking, several people came to form a team with Chengqian.One of them is the direct son of General Li Jing, Li Yexu!

Seeing Li Yexu staring at him with blinking eyes, Chengqian was very surprised. This thin and frail 14-year-old guy in front of him is Li Yexu who will become a monk, eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha in the future?

Therefore, Cheng Qian, who had never expected anyone to form a team with him, also formed a team of ten people...

Cheng Qian chatted and laughed with Du Gou and others on the high platform from time to time, but Eunuch Li Fu on the highest platform was sweating from the palms of his hands.

The emperor in front of him has crushed four or five tea bowls...

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

After briefly announcing the end of the pre-cuju competition, Emperor Taizong left in a huff.

The princes did not leave immediately.

Li Ke glanced at the people around Chengqian, smiled, then turned and left.Qing Que, on the other hand, gave Cheng Qian a gloomy look, and left without saying anything.Li You, Li Yin and the others laughed strangely.

Changle and Yuzhang were very excited, they walked towards Chengqian with Gao Yang in their arms, smiled and nodded at Du Gou and others who were still around Chengqian, and said gratefully, "Thank you for forming a team with my brother."

Du Gou was about to speak modestly, but Chang Sun Chong rushed forward. The 12-year-old Chang Sun Chong was tall and big, with dark skin, but his eyes were moving cleverly. He giggled at Chang Le and said, "Princess You are so polite, it is my honor to form a team with His Highness."

Chengqian looked at Changsun Chong speechlessly. Could this kid be interested in Changle now?

Chang Le took a step back with a blushing face, and said in a low voice, "You guys have to compete well."

"Of course, of course, hehe, princess, will you cheer us on?" Changsun Chong smiled obsequiously, and took another step forward with a shy face.

Cheng Qian shook his head slightly, this kid is too obvious!

"Okay!" Chengqian said helplessly, "Changle, Yuzhang, go back and tell the queen first."

Hearing this, Chang Le breathed a sigh of relief, and hastily pulled Yu Zhang to turn around and leave.

Changsun Chong looked disappointed in Changle's direction.

It wasn't until Cheng Qian coughed vigorously that Chang Sun Chong came back to his senses and looked at Cheng Qian with some embarrassment.

Cheng Qian stared, "You boy, pay attention to me!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

When Cheng Qian was about to teach him a few more words, Eunuch Li Fu hurried over.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has a decree, and His Highness Xuan will have an audience immediately."

Cheng Qian was taken aback for a moment, the emperor summoned him?

Eunuch Li Fu had Rolling Mouse lying on his shoulders, pushing Chengqian's wheelchair forward with a solemn expression.

Chengqian wanted to test Li Fu's tone several times, but he hesitated to speak.I smiled wryly in my heart, I'm afraid Li Fu wouldn't say it if I tried it.Hey, that's all, the boat is naturally straight to the front.

Chengqian made up his mind and stopped thinking about it.Just slowly looking at the scenery along the way.

It was near May at this time, and the flowers were blooming very well.Chengqian slowly counted the types and quantities of flowers blooming along the way.

When turning to a secluded place, Li Fu suddenly said, "Your Highness... the emperor hasn't had a good rest for a month."

Cheng Qian stayed for a while before turning his head, "Eunuch Fu, what did you just say?"

"Your Highness, the emperor is in a bad mood this month. He ate little and didn't sleep well. Later, His Highness, please persuade the emperor more."

Cheng Qian frowned, so the emperor has been busy for more than a month?But there is nothing going on in the court recently.Teacher Wei Zheng has been very quiet recently, and he didn't make any direct remonstrance to provoke the father.etc!Could it be that Teacher Wei Zheng knew that his father was in a bad mood, so he kept quiet? ?

"Eunuch Fu, do you know why Father is in a bad mood?"

Li Fu shook his head. "The servant does not know."

Chengqian is silent.

If the father is in a bad mood..., will he be angered later?

Cheng Qian was really not sure whether his father still loved him as much as before, if he was angered, it would be too bad luck!

Before arriving at the Ganlu Hall, Cheng Qian saw his father standing at the gate of the Ganlu Hall with his hands behind his back.

As Cheng Qian got closer, he realized that his father really lost a lot of weight. Although his face was calm, the gloom in his brows and eyes was obvious.

Chengqian couldn't help but worry in his heart, the father wouldn't be depressed, would he?That's not good!

Li Fu pushed Chengqian to the gate of Ganlu Hall, then knelt down on the ground to salute.

Cheng Qian came back to his senses, and when he was about to salute, he was suddenly covered by a large shadow. Before Cheng Qian could react, he was hugged by a pair of strong and warm hands.

Cheng Qian habitually put his arms around Emperor Taizong's neck, and when he came back to his senses, he realized his habitual behavior, and couldn't help being stunned.

It turns out... the habit still exists.

And Emperor Taizong looked down at Cheng Qian's dazed expression, his gloomy mood suddenly improved a lot, and a faint smile even appeared on his lips.

Picking up Chengqian, he strode towards Ganlu Hall.

When he came to the sleeping hall in the back hall, he waved away the maid and eunuch, and carried Chengqian onto the couch.

"Go to bed with Emperor Father." Emperor Taizong lay down on the couch with Chengqian in his arms, and said in a hoarse voice.

Cheng Qian wanted to say something, but seeing Emperor Taizong's dark eye circles, he couldn't help swallowing the words.He lowered his head and buried himself in Emperor Taizong's chest, wondering what happened to his father in the past month or so?

Cheng Qian thought that he would not feel sleepy, but after thinking about it for a while, he fell asleep.

After this sleep, I fell asleep to the tip of the willow on the moon.

When Cheng Qian woke up, he saw Emperor Taizong staring seriously into his eyes.

"Father?"

"Ah."

After being silent for a while, Chengqian raised his eyes, seeing that Emperor Taizong was still looking at him so earnestly and intently, he couldn't help but ask, "Father, what's wrong?"

Emperor Taizong smiled slightly, and gently brushed away the strands of hair hanging down Chengqian's cheeks with his fingers, "I was thinking, how long will it take for Qian'er to grow up?"

Cheng Qian wrinkled his nose, "My son is already twelve."

"Yes, it's twelve, so fast." Emperor Taizong murmured, "My father sometimes hopes that Qian'er will never grow up, and sometimes I wish that Qian'er will grow up soon..." Emperor Taizong thought thoughtfully .

Chengqian was puzzled. "Father, what happened?"

Emperor Taizong came back to his senses, looked at Chengqian, smiled slightly, patted Chengqian's head, and said softly, "It's okay, Don't worry, it's just that this month, Emperor Father is a little hesitant about the Turkic affairs. Just in a bad mood."

Only then did Cheng Qian heave a sigh of relief, that's good.

Emperor Taizong then pinched Chengqian's nose again, stared and said, "You little heartless, father didn't look for you this month, didn't you come to visit father?"

Chengqian was in pain, and raised his eyes pitifully, "My son dare not disturb father..."

"Hmph! You are good, you can eat and sleep, just now the emperor saw that you had a good time in the Xiande Palace!" Emperor Taizong felt distressed, so he let go, and leaned forward to kiss the red one Nose, but still bitterly said in his mouth.

Cheng Qian blinked innocently.This month... well, he can indeed eat and sleep, but, but, he always feels a little uncomfortable. At least, nothing compares to this moment when he is nestled in his father's arms and listening to his father's explanation of this month. The inexplicable "disappearance" comes comfortably...

"Father, Du Gou and I just met once." When it came to Xiande Hall, Cheng Qian, who vaguely knew why Father wanted to make a big fuss, hurriedly explained.

Emperor Taizong raised his eyebrows slightly, "You think I don't know?"

Cheng Qian hesitated a little, his words seemed, somewhat, there is no feeling of 300 taels of silver here... Mo Ran, he spoke too fast!

"Are you afraid that the father won't believe you? Or do you misunderstand you?" Emperor Taizong narrowed his eyes slightly, tightened his arms around Chengqian's waist, and approached Chengqian. You, I am your royal father, still don't believe you?!"

Cheng Qian was at a loss for a moment, "Father, that's not what my son meant."

"Hmph!" Emperor Taizong snorted coldly, "I don't think you believe in your father?"

Cheng Qian froze, this was true, he still had some distrust of his father in his heart.

Emperor Taizong was not annoyed, but just stared at Chengqian, "Ganer, one day, father will let you trust me willingly."

Cheng Qian was taken aback.

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

In the Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun tossed and turned, still unable to fall asleep.Simply put on clothes and get up, walk to the window sill, and look at the crescent moon outside the window.

I was thinking that just now when Maple Leaf came to report, Gan'er stayed overnight in Ganlu Hall.

This month, the emperor seemed to have forgotten about Chengqian, he never came to Qihui Palace, nor summoned Chengqian.Today, what?

Thinking about what Changle and Yuzhang said, Gan'er actually formed a team, and from what Changle said, this team was not simple.

Not to mention my nephews, Du Ruhui's son, Fang Xuanling's son, Cheng Zhijie's and Li Jing's son...

And the emperor, what are you thinking?

Why do all the princes have to participate?

What is the purpose of this pre-match meeting?

And the emperor, right Gan'er...

***********

In the middle of the night, looking at Cheng Qian who fell asleep in his arms again, Emperor Taizong slowly stretched out his fingers to outline Cheng Qian's beautiful eyebrows, his eyes were full of tenderness.

What are you doing to yourself...

It is obsession, it is delusion.
