Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 393
"Does he have a special status?" Zhao Xi frowned and thought for a while, "I only know that he came from the west, traveled thousands of miles day and night, had an extraordinary family background, and came from a noble family..."

The most important thing is, why does a big man pretend to be a woman and come to Beijing?
Unless it's not convenient for your own identity.

"A thief can do it, a gentleman can do it, a prince can do it..."

Such a sentence sounded in her mind, and a flash of inspiration flashed across her mind, and she was suddenly stunned: "He...is a member of the royal family?"

Li Xuanye admired her ability to respond, and said with a smile: "Wei'er is really smart!" After the compliment, he added: "It's not a clan relative."

Not a clan?Zhao Xiwei's heart skipped a beat.

"I forgot to tell you—" He leaned on the soft pillow in the car, and said calmly: "After Concubine Pei was demoted to be a talented person, she was unconscious for a long time. King Jin wrote to His Majesty, requesting to return to Beijing to visit her mother... ..."

Zhao Xi's eyes widened slightly: "His Royal Highness King Jin?"

Li Xuanye smiled, and said: "After ten years of going to the country and being separated for thousands of miles, the emperor's heart has finally softened!"

Today's emperor's heirs are rare, and there are only two grown-up sons.

The eldest son, Li Xuanye, and the second son, Li Chengfeng.

One was born to the queen, who was established as a prince at the age of one, and joined the government at the age of 12, and is now in power.

One was born to a noble concubine, who was granted the title of King Jin when he was eight years old, but what awaited him was not rich clothes and fine food, but was sent to a fief thousands of miles away.

This time, it will be ten years.

Now that the birth mother is dying of illness, the king of Jin asked to return to Beijing to visit him. It is reasonable for the emperor not to bear to hurt his son any more.

Just thinking about Concubine Pei's current situation, and thinking about the Pei family's illustrious military exploits, she faintly felt that things were not that simple...

Regarding the harem and the former dynasty, Zhao Xiwei couldn't talk rashly, so he changed the subject with a smile: "His Highness is so impatient to bring him back to the East Palace, should we reminisce about the old days? Or smooth things over for him?"

"Of course not—" He pinched her face, and his smile faded: "I just want to set a rule for him!"

……

After taking care of the government for so many years, Li Xuanye naturally doesn't only know about the love between his sons and daughters.

Li Chengfeng's return to Beijing this time is like throwing a stone into a lake. No matter what his purpose is, the court is destined to cause waves.

Back in the East Palace, Li Xuanye changed his clothes and headed for Lizheng Hall.

Yang Yi followed in a hurry: "Your Highness, Prince Jin has finished grooming, do you want to call him now, or wait until after dinner?"

"Call him over to eat with us."

Li Xuanye washed his hands, took a cotton towel and wiped off the water droplets on his hands three or two times, and then gave an order, and there was a laughter outside the door: "After ten years of separation, the prince's elder brother is still so affectionate and righteous... "

The waiter who was waiting on the side shook his hand and almost knocked over the basin he was holding.

Why is His Royal Highness King Jin so out of shape...

Who doesn't know, His Royal Highness has always been calm and prudent, do you hate those bohemian people the most?Even Miracle Doctor Gu is often dragged out by His Royal Highness because of his playful smile!
Sure enough, Li Xuanye frowned, glanced at the entrance of the hall, and said coldly: "If you are not hungry, go and wait outside the hall!"

"Hungry, hungry——" As soon as the words fell, the man dressed in green clothes had swept into the hall.

When he was a few feet away from Li Xuanye, with a light tap of his toes, he landed gracefully on the seat like a flying swallow returning to its nest.

The dishes have just been served, and they are hot and fragrant on the table.

It was dark in winter, and after the end of the day, the sun was hidden by the clouds, and the light in the hall also dimmed a little.

The gilt palace lanterns were lit one by one, the pale golden light blurred, adding a bit of warmth to the banquet for no reason.

The guards waited outside the door in fear, for fear that the unshape King Jin would offend His Royal Highness—by then, both of them will be the emperor's sons. Did they obey His Royal Highness's order and throw King Jin out? , or kneel down to help intercede?
After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear the expected movement.

Li Xuanye put down the bowl and chopsticks, took the cotton towel from the waiter to wipe his fingers clean, and then looked at Li Chengfeng.

He has changed into a neat brocade robe, embroidered with python patterns that symbolize the status of a prince, his hair is also neatly tied up, and he is wearing a purple gold jade crown, but his demeanor is still undisguised, and even more so The gorgeous color in the room, no matter how she dresses up, there is still no trace of solemnity that a prince should have.

After ten years of being unrestrained in the fiefdom, he has developed such a chivalrous spirit, it seems that he has completely separated from the court, abandoned all strict dogmas, and completely forgot his status as a prince.

But Li's blood is always flowing on his body, he is a noble prince, how can he be calm when facing his crazy biological mother?
Li Xuanye stared at him indifferently, as if he wanted to see through those beautiful eyebrows what was hidden.

Li Chengfeng didn't develop the eating habits that aristocratic men should have, but it's not that he doesn't know etiquette. After all, as the king of a place, he has his own officials in charge of royal etiquette to teach him.

He seems to be naturally romantic, unwilling to follow any established rules.

For example, when drinking soup, it is not allowed for the spoon to touch the porcelain bowl, but after a few sips, he will casually throw the spoon to the bottom of the bowl, making a "jingle", which is crisp and sweet.

Li Xuanye felt uncomfortable at first, but he remained silent until he held a pancake in one hand and a glass of sake in the other, chewed the biscuit with his head down, and took a sip of wine with his head up——

His Royal Highness finally couldn't bear it anymore, he bent his fingers together, and tapped twice on the table.

"What's wrong?" Li Chengfeng raised his eyes and looked over, his crimson lips suddenly hooked up: "I've been hungry for two days, you big East Palace, why don't you let me have a good hot meal?"

"..."

Li Xuanye was silent for a moment, and couldn't help reminding: "Don't drink alcohol while eating."

Eating and drinking at the same time, this is the style of a gangster in the rivers and lakes.

Li Chengfeng raised his eyebrows, not shying away from the provocation and curiosity in his eyes.

Li Xuanye smiled, and said lightly: "It hurts the stomach."

Li Chengfeng was stunned, and then laughed, with a hint of sarcasm hidden between his beautiful brows: "It's because I have a bad stomach that I have to drink..."

Seeing that Li Xuanye was already displeased, he laughed again: "I have a stubborn stomach disease, it hurts to eat and swallow..."

"..." Li Xuanye's eyebrows darkened, and he pursed his lips speechlessly.

It wasn't until he took a mouthful of cake and a mouthful of wine that he ate both flax cakes before he said, "Let the imperial doctor take a look."

"no need……"

His Royal Highness doesn't have many good tempers, so he can do whatever he wants just because he is a younger brother?He never indulged Lingxi's delicate daughter's family.

His face sank, and he was about to call someone, when His Royal Highness Jin Wang who did whatever he wanted suddenly twitched his mouth: "In the ninth year of Jianyuan, the first year I left Beijing for the feudal land, I was exhausted from traveling, I had an eating disorder, and I was not acclimatized to the soil and water, resulting in food stagnation. ...It was midsummer, and the heat was hard to dissipate. After half a month, the disease fell..."

Li Xuanye remained silent.
