My harem can't be this messy

"You guys, be careful."

Seeing Li Fu, Li Ming and Heng Shan running after the silver fox, Li Zhi quickly reminded them.

At this moment, looking at the figures of his younger siblings, Li Zhi smiled. Originally, the three princes and princesses who were born in the eighth year of Zhenguan hardly played together, but now they played together almost every day.

Among them, someone is naturally the most credited, the child who is only one month away from the same age, and a father, as long as they play, they will definitely be able to play together soon, but the introduction of Li Zhi is indispensable.

Li Zhi saw that Hengshan had caught up with Yinhu and hugged him, so he walked towards him.

"Hengshan, have these silver foxes behaved these few days?"

"Brother Huang, they are so good, especially when you feed them meat, because they are not vegetarian."

Li Zhi is also helpless, carnivores, there is no vegetarian.

Li Zhi stayed with his younger siblings for a while, then left here.

What Li Zhi didn't know was that Shangguanyi was still in Hongwen Pavilion when it was very late, and at this time, Emperor Taizong also came to Hongwen Pavilion in person, inspected the process of printing the book, and kept nodding his head.

"Your Majesty, this move to print books with movable type is really a shocking move. Your Highness can think of such a way. I really can't think of any words to praise Your Highness."

The courtier praised his son in front of him, and Shangguanyi, who had always been upright by nature, made Tang Zong very happy.

How can a father be unhappy when others praise his son.Tang Zong is the emperor, but for the princes, he is first of all a father.

"You seldom praise people!"

"Your Majesty, Shangguanyi really couldn't bear it this time, every word came from the bottom of my heart."

"Then what do you think of my many princes?"

"This minister dare not comment."

"No problem, you are my close minister. You have been working here in Hongwen Pavilion since the second year of Zhenguan. I have so many sons here when they were studying. You are one of the people who understand them best in the court."

Chapter 454

"This minister..."

"I want to hear the truth, no matter what you say, I will not blame you."

Li Shimin sat down at this time and pointed to the seat next to him. Shangguanyi looked at the Holy Majesty and sat down a little nervously.

Your Majesty asked him to evaluate the princes, this is really not good to evaluate!These are all the sons of the Holy Majesty, if you say a wrong word, it will be a big deal.

Although the Holy Majesty said that he would not blame, and the Holy Majesty always listened to good advice when doing things.

However, since the princes were involved, Shangguanyi did not dare to speak nonsense.If you offend His Majesty, even if you don't punish him, it will still upset His Majesty.

At this time, Shangguanyi sat down, took a cup of tea on the table, and took this time to quickly sort out what he should and should not say.

To evaluate the prince, you must also make His Majesty feel that what you said is pertinent. There are many skills in this.In short, it is to avoid the important and ignore the trivial, long-winded speeches that should be said, and one sentence that should not be said.

Shangguanyi started with the crown prince Li Chengqian. He used all kinds of compliments. Speaking of these with his Chinese ink, although Taizong could hear some exaggerated praises, it was still the same sentence. Son, as a father, I am happy.

"Is there nothing wrong with the prince?"

Shangguanyi boasted for a while, but Taizong suddenly asked.

"Of course there is. I think that His Royal Highness sometimes pursues fun too much, and there are always some bad rumors in the palace."

"Male pet!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me for the crime of disrespect."

Shangguanyi quickly got up and knelt down in front of Li Shimin.

"Okay, I have already said that no matter what you say today, I will forgive you for your innocence. There are only you and my ministers here, so don't be cautious."

Shangguanyi wiped her forehead with her hands, and there was already a fine amount of sweat.

"How is King Wei?"

"Returning to His Majesty, the King of Wei is smart and eager to learn, and he is proficient in geography, rivers, mountains and landforms. If His Majesty asks the princes about something, the King of Wei's answer is also able to win His Majesty's heart."

"But he's been messing around more and more recently."

"Your Majesty, I think there are some things, it depends on how you look at them."

"Shangguanyi, you don't have to excuse him. Wrong is wrong and right is right. Xuande Gong Baidicheng Tuogu also said in the past, don't do evil because it is small, and don't do good because it is small. But Virtuous but virtuous, able to submit to others.”

"I'm still a little neglected to discipline him!"

"Your Majesty is busy with government affairs. How is this His Majesty's fault? We, the courtiers, failed to fulfill our duties."

"Okay, let's talk about the other princes."

Shangguanyi naturally told them one by one, for the older ones, it was natural to talk more about their personality, and for the younger ones, it was natural to talk more about their academic personality.

Speaking of Shu Wang Li Yin and Cao Wang Li Ming, Shangguanyi said a few more words, which is naturally because these two princes have changed the most this year.

Among them, the king of Shu is especially obvious. He has not been doing so much nonsense recently, and he often enters the palace to accompany Concubine Yang and do some serious things. Although it is his daughter's clothes, it is better than the old friends who used to bring slaves to do evil and make trouble everywhere. too much.

And Cao Wang Li Ming's personality is withdrawn and he is not good at communicating with others, so he can talk to his birth mother, Princess Nest.

But at this time, not only did she often play around with the princes and princesses in the palace, her daily homework was also much better than before, and her withdrawn temperament had obviously changed a lot.

"Shu Wang and Cao Wang are really good recently, and Ji Wang and Zhao Wang are also good."

The two monarchs and ministers smiled at each other, all these changes were due to one person, and when Shangguanyi said that His Majesty's sons, he just commented on all the princes, except King Jin.

"Shangguanyi, what do you think of King Jin?"

"Since His Royal Highness King Jin suffered a serious illness this year, I thought that His Highness may have experienced this serious illness, but he has become much more mature and stable."

"Your Majesty knows all about what His Highness has done, so I won't say much, but only two small things that I know about."

"Shangguan Aiqing, tell me."

"When King Jin recovered from his illness this year, he lived in the Wanchun Palace. The maids Xia He and Chuntao were by his side to take care of them. These two maids often came to Hongwen Pavilion and the History Museum to borrow books. I met him several times."

"Lent it to King Jin?"

"Except for Your Highness, there will be no one else. Your Highness is eager to learn, and I deeply admire it."

Taizong nodded. Hearing Shangguanyi's words, he felt the same way.

Zhi'er is eager to learn, but his father can't see it, and his son is eager to learn, not only in literature, but also in martial arts.

At this time, Zhi'er's body was strong, and Taizong even heard that he killed a hungry wolf with his bare hands. This kind of courage was rare among many princes.

And it has only been half a year since he recovered from his illness.

Li Shimin is really gratified to have a son who is all-rounder in civil and military affairs.

"Shangguan Aiqing said only two things, the second thing?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the second thing I saw in Hongwen Pavilion today. At that time, Zhao Wang Cao Wang and the little princess were chasing the silver fox outside. Jin Wang saw it and reminded him to be careful. The love between brothers and sisters When I saw the situation, I also remembered the past time."

"Zhi'er is indeed a brother-sister relationship, and it has always been a love affair."

At this time, Li Shimin's hand knocked lightly on the table a few times unconsciously.

A few days ago, he also heard about the story that Princess Changle and Princess Yuzhang stayed in the Jin Palace, and that Princess Changle and King Jin shared a room and a bed. At that time, he also thought about it a little bit.

I asked the queen specifically, and the queen only said that Zhi'er often did this and slept with her, so Li Shimin didn't pursue it much. Hearing Shang Guanyi's words at this time, he felt that he shouldn't think too much about it.

Didn't my son get close to his sisters and brothers since he was a child? Could it be that he would do something out of the ordinary to accompany his sister?

"Is there nothing wrong with King Jin?"

"Yes, I think there are too many women around His Highness."

"Haha, my son follows me in temperament, but I feel that his ability is not as good as him. This trip to Xingyang, I insisted on bringing back the two daughters of the Zheng family in Xingyang."

"Shangguan Aiqing, do you know how Zhi'er told his mother about this?"

"Of course this minister doesn't know."

"He told his mother that he had brought back two older sisters from Zheng's house."

"His Royal Highness may still appear young at times, so he will play around a bit."

"I like him to be so nonsense."

The emperor and his ministers stopped talking, maybe Li Shimin had some interest at this time, and asked someone to prepare a jar of wine.

It is very common for Tang people to drink alcohol, especially at this time of winter, which is the best time for drinking.

The monarch and his ministers drank together, and Li Shimin asked Shangguanyi a word through the wine, but Shangguanyi didn't dare to say a word for a long time.

What your Majesty asked was whether the position of crown prince should be assumed by a person who has both ability and political integrity and handles everything well.

Naturally, Shangguanyi didn't dare to say much on this issue, and could only remain silent. He could tell that His Majesty had already moved to change the crown prince.

Chapter 455

If His Majesty hadn't thought about it, he definitely wouldn't have asked such a question, and he still asked after asking himself to comment on the princes.

Shangguanyi didn't dare to answer, and Li Shimin didn't really intend to listen to his answer. He knew that if he asked such a question, the secretary of Hongwenge probably couldn't answer it.

The reason why he asked such a question was probably because he had been suffocating something in his heart for many days. At this time, he asked this question because of the excitement of the wine.

It's just that this pair of monarchs and ministers didn't know that what His Majesty said just now was heard by the ears of the partition wall, which is called the partition wall has ears.

Jin Wang Mansion, after Li Zhi returned, he naturally didn't know that his father had gone to Hongwen Pavilion, and he didn't know what his father said to Shangguanyi.

In this palace, King Jin doesn't have any eyes and ears. If there is, then those princes and princesses who are usually close to each other will tell him what they hear.

By the way, there is also Shangyi Yunxi, if she hears something, she will basically tell King Jin.As for the specialized ear, eye and eyeliner, King Jin really didn't have one.

Firstly, he didn't come to Tang Dynasty for a long time, and secondly, Li Zhi was not in Chang'an most of the time, and the two trips to Xingyang in Sichuan alone accounted for most of the time.Thirdly, naturally King Jin would not bother to do such a thing.

At this time, Li Zhi was accompanying Xia He when he returned to Jinwang Mansion, watching her belly bulge day by day, getting taller and bigger, Li Zhi didn't know why, but always felt a sense of accomplishment.

At this time, Li Zhi was gently stroking Xia He's belly through the thick quilt, and felt that it was not enough for a while, so he stretched his hand under the quilt, and gently stroked that belly.

Feeling the caress of King Jin's hand, Xia He also put her own hand on King Jin's hand.

"Xia He, I've worked hard on you for a while."

"Xia He didn't work hard, but felt very happy, especially when the little guy kicked me."

"Then he is very dishonest, always kicking my king's Xia He."

Li Zhi was stroking Xia He's belly when footsteps came from outside, someone pushed the door and came in without knocking on the door.

Li Zhi saw that it was Cui Yan who came in, holding two sets of cotton clothes in his arms. From the colors and patterns, it could be seen that they were men's clothes and women's clothes.

"These two cotton-padded clothes at the bamboo garden are finally ready."

"Yeah, I haven't done it before. It took a lot of time to do it the first time, so I just finished it today."

"Well, Sister Cui put it here first, the king will go to the palace tomorrow and take it to the father, queen and queen."

These two cotton-padded clothes were of course Li Zhi's filial piety to his father and queen.This is the first time cotton was used as a filling in the land of the Tang Dynasty. Li Zhi naturally wanted to let his father, queen and queen feel the warmth of this cotton padded coat.

By the way, the queen mother wore it, but she didn't wear it when she came to Datang, so I don't know if she will be very moved.Or, the queen mother will feel that this cotton coat is not as good as down and silk fox fur.

Cui Yan put down the cotton coat, and naturally sat beside Li Zhi. Seeing that Li Zhi's hand was always under the quilt, Cui Yan also stretched his hand in.

"Sister Xia He will have to pay more and more attention in the future, especially in winter, when it snows and there is freezing water on weekdays, you have to be careful."

"Well, Sister Xie Cui is concerned. I have someone to accompany me on weekdays."

The two of them were talking there, suddenly Xia He's hand patted Li Zhi's arm lightly, Cui Yan saw it and smiled lightly.

Looking at Xia He's expression, one can tell that His Highness's hands are not very disciplined.

"A woman is pregnant, and the second development is indeed very powerful."

"Your Highness will talk nonsense!"

"I don't want to talk nonsense. It just so happens that sister Cui Yan is here, so compare yourself. I remember that you were similar before."

"Your Highness, you're going to mess around, it's so cold, what can you compare to!"

"Come on, sister Cui Yan, take off your clothes and get into the bed, I will show you, my Xia He is not the same as before."

"I don't care. Your Highness is here with Sister Xia He. I'll go first."

Where would Li Zhi let her go? At this moment, he hugged her and went to untie her waistband.

"Your Highness will mess around!"
