[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 23 Sons and Daughters 16

Li Zhi's words were very firm, which made Li Xian feel completely seen through in vain.

His father actually didn't want to be as weak as he looked on the outside.

In other words, the emperor was never weak, even under the cover of his father's powerful light, he still showed his own bright colors.

Even those as strong as Ah Wu, when Li Zhi was still alive, always showed the appearance of a good wife and supporter, Ah Wu's toughness was hardly used on Li Zhi!

Li Xian used to despise his father like the world, but in this life, he finally slowly saw the true face of his father behind the "benevolent king".

This is a very powerful man!

His body is indeed weak, and his heart is indeed kind, but he is still a decisive emperor, and he is more suitable for the title of "Eternal Sage King" than his father, His Majesty Li Er!

Li Xian didn't know how to describe his feelings for His Majesty Li Xiaojiu.

The father who didn't make him feel much awe was actually the one who ruled the entire Great Tang Empire, and the one who could easily change his destiny...

This is the real cause of his death in the previous life, right?

And in this life, Father was the first to see something wrong with him...

It's just that the theory of ghosts and spirits is so ridiculous that he doesn't even know how to explain the strange things that happened to him.

After Li Zhi asked a word, he didn't speak again, as if waiting for Li Xian to organize his thoughts and tell him what he was hiding.

Li Xian even felt that in the case of Li Sujie's treason that just ended, his father was suspicious of all his sons, even he was no exception...

Li Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Regardless of the cause and history, the result of this incident is most beneficial to him, the successor of the crown prince, so it is strange that he is not suspected!

Moreover, he and brother are so close, if you want to poison brother or something, it's a piece of cake - because brother will never doubt the food he gave...

In fact, Dad has already warned him, and he deported his apprentice Wang Bo from Chang'an, just to tell him not to learn from Qi Wang Li Tai back then!

But he didn't figure it out until now!

Today, Father may have given him another chance to confess his sincerity...

Li Xian glanced at his father, who was drinking tea in a leisurely manner.

"Father, I do have some things that I don't know how to tell you and my mother..." Li Xian sighed slightly, but decided to tell his father the truth.

"Actually, I don't want to be a prince at all."

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu heard the words, but he didn't show any surprise, instead he smiled: "I know."

"I'm just curious, Erlang, you've been suppressing your nature, what exactly are you looking for?"

Hearing this, Li Xian's face suddenly became very dark, and it took him a long time to forcefully speak: "What I want is for my brother to live in peace..."

However, this little wish could not come true...

Born in the royal family, it really is involuntary!

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Li Xian's words, which could be called a confession of filial piety, and refused to comment.

"Da Lang is not suitable to be king...Your aunt and I have long expected that such a day will come..." Li Zhi had personally experienced the battle for succession, and he actually did not believe that there are still brothers and sisters in this world. Kind of emotional, especially for a child born into the royal family.

Wu Xu can love every child impartially, but Li Zhi cannot.

He didn't want to raise a son who would threaten the prince's status like his father did.

However, Erlang is different.

Erlang is secretly favored by Li Zhi, ready to inherit Dalang's child at any time.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an important candidate to succeed the prince.

This contradictory approach made Li Zhi pay special attention to Li Xian.

Then, he found that this child who was always taciturn was very problematic.

"I can't see through you..." There is no doubt that if Li Xian works hard, he will be better than Li Hong, but this child has been hiding his clumsiness.

"Just because you don't want to be the prince?" Li Zhi smiled coldly, "How do you know that you have a chance to be the prince?"

If Da Lang has been safe and sound, he and A Wu would never think of changing the East Palace!

However, Li Xian did not evade His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's sharp gaze, instead, he went up to him firmly and said, "I know that Father must have doubted Er... You should be able to find out, Er's feelings for Brother..."

"I won't hurt brother for a crown prince that I didn't want in the first place, this is one of them..."

"One?" His Majesty Li Xiaojiu repeated Li Xian's words meaningfully.

Li Xian suddenly felt a burst of embarrassment, as if his father could already guess what he said next.

"My son is frivolous by nature, so it's difficult to take on a big job..." Li Xian said such a sentence with a blank face, which really surprised His Majesty Li Xiaojiu.

Even though there are still many courtiers in the court who don't know much about His Highness Pei's abilities, when they mention this His Highness, everyone will probably use mature words such as 'reticent' and 'stable' to describe him.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu never imagined that the comment his family Erlang gave him was "frivolous by nature"? !

"Ahem...Erlang, what do you mean by that?" His Majesty Li Xiaojiu looked left and right, but he didn't see where Erlang was frivolous?

If he said that he was not interested in politics or something, Li Zhi would believe it a little bit.

On Li Xian's usually indifferent face, a look of embarrassment and anger rarely appeared, and he lowered his voice and said, "Didn't Dad already find out? My son has a very extravagant sex, and...fortunately, he is masculine..."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Upon hearing this, poor His Majesty Li Xiaojiu suddenly felt unable to breathe. His eyes widened and he pointed at Li Xian, coughing so hard that he couldn't even speak. .

Erlang is usually very particular about food and clothing, but it is not considered extravagant. As for being a good man, there seems to be no sign of it!

Could it be that Erlang actually has thoughts about that guy? !

Thinking of some possibility, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu coughed even worse.

"Father..." Li Xian looked at his father's frightened look a little speechlessly, then got up and sat next to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, stroking his back.

"My son's mind is not on the love of his children, and now he has no one to admire."

Li Xian is not an idiot, just by looking at his father's expression, he can tell that the other party may have thought of something strange, but in this life Li Xian has no intention of provoking Daosheng and the others again, so the last point of being a good man has no basis for anything.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu listened to his son's intentions, it seemed that he didn't like any man now, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and his mood calmed down instantly.

To be honest, even if Erlang fell in love with that person, it would be much better than when his elder brother Chengqian favored a musician!

At least that person is quite talented...

Seeing that his father had become silent again, Li Xian couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable, so he went down and knelt down to his father.

"I'm unfilial, I've let you down!" He could already feel how his father acquiesced in his previous life when his mother deposed him.

Li Zhi couldn't help but sighed, "Erlang, get up..."

He only knew that his son was hiding something in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageous.

What happened to their old Li family, every other generation there will be a prince with a tendency to cut off his sleeves? !

As a result, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu couldn't help but think of the set of picture albums that his father passed on to him back then. It seemed that there was a book in it that was... ahem... talking about masculinity...

================================== Dividing line ================== =============

Wu Xu found that since her family's Erlang and Li Xiaojiu had finished discussing the matter of appointing the crown prince in the Zichen Palace that day, Erlang's whole person became much clearer, and the boy who was always paralyzed began to express himself.

Wu Xu was really curious, what did Li Xiaojiu talk to Erlang about?

Is it a topic between men?

But every time she asked Li Xiaojiu, she was always fooled by the latter's Gu Youyou. She still didn't understand what happened to Erlang until the day he was canonized as the crown prince.

Compared with the canonization of Li Hong back then, the ceremony for Li Xian to enter the East Palace is obviously more grand.

Today's Datang is no longer the Datang of ten years ago.

Wu Xu didn't know how the foreign envoys who came to participate in the crown prince ceremony were feeling, she only knew that Datang must be the strongest, must be at the top of the world!

Equally emotional was Li Xian, who had already changed into a prince's costume and accepted the pilgrimage of hundreds of officials and people.

He can't remember any details of the last time he entered the East Palace. At that time, he was still immersed in the pain of losing his elder brother. He was thrown in the prison of Chang'an by his father and mother when he just became the prince, and he was not in the mood to treat others. Pay more attention to things.

Now, looking at those foreigners with different appearances under the nine steps, it was the first time he really felt the power of Datang!

All of these are things that my father, mother and elder brother tried their best to protect. Now that this burden has gradually shifted to his shoulders, he must not let them down!

Li Xian clenched his fists hidden under his wide sleeves, walked up to the top of the stage with a serious expression, and knelt down to the emperor and empress sitting on it...

In the crowd far away, two young men with very similar looks were watching the ceremony seriously.

When the new crown prince took over the seal symbolizing the power of the East Palace with both hands, the young man standing on the left finally showed a smile.

Seeing this, the young man on the right immediately took the hand of the young man on the left, and said with a smile: "Brother, can you rest assured now?"

The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were open, and it was common for women in boudoirs to go out to play. Usually, they either wore a veil to cover their appearance, or dressed up as a gentleman like this little lady.

There was nothing strange about the crowd at first, but they didn't expect that the person on the arm of the little lady was her elder brother, and the two looked so similar, could they be twins?

Seeing that the onlookers had all looked at his sister from the moment she spoke, Li Hong couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable, so he dragged Xiao Sanniang out of the square quickly.

The guards who accompanied them to protect the two also hurriedly followed.

The onlookers saw that there were at least ten or twenty servants behind the two of them, and they couldn't help but secretly startled, thinking that it was the young master and young lady of everyone who came out to watch the fun.

When the two of them got out of the crowd, they saw an unremarkable carriage parked by the side of the road, and beside it stood a handsome young man like an iceberg.

When Li Hong saw that person, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

The author has something to say: Dalang has finally let go of his burden, and Erlang has finally untied his knot...

The atmosphere is so beautiful, if I say this is the end of the full text, will I be beaten =. =
