"Erlang, oh Erlang."

Li Yuan sat there and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Is this the way you built your glorious Tang Dynasty, amidst piles of rouge and rouge?"

When I was conquering the world, I didn't know how to enjoy life as much as you do.

"Tsk tsk! These Central Asian women dance more beautifully than the girls in Chang'an, don't they?"

Before Li Yuan could finish speaking, and before Li Shimin could even reply, Li Chengqian chimed in from the side:

"Grandfather, does Father feel that the harem lacks exotic charm? Does he want to take a woman from the Western Regions into the harem?"

Li Shimin was furious upon hearing this and wished he could go up and beat Li Chengqian.

When Li Chengqian saw that Li Shimin still dared to be fierce to him, he quickly hid behind Empress Zhangsun.

"Mother, look at Father, he's going to beat me because I hit the nail on the head."

Empress Zhangsun glared fiercely at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin instantly turned into a quail.

"Your Majesty is right. I was just confused for a moment and was blinded by these old fools."

They practically dragged me here.

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde rolled their eyes at the sound of it.

He had cursed Li Shimin's ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind countless times.

fart!

It was clearly you, Li Er, who got tired of reading memorials and said you wanted to get some fresh air, and you even specifically asked for a Western Region Hu woman.

Now look what's happened, we're being blamed for everything?

But no matter how much they curse in their hearts, they still have to take the blame.

Cheng Yaojin quickly said:

"Your Majesty the Retired Emperor, please calm your anger! Your Majesty the Empress, please calm your anger!"

It's all my fault, Lao Cheng. It was me, Lao Cheng, who insisted on dragging His Majesty out.

His Majesty was originally unwilling.

Li Shimin also took the opportunity to say:

"Guanyinbi, look, I was really dragged here by them."

Standing behind Empress Zhangsun, Li Chengqian watched this spectacular drama of the emperor and his ministers shifting blame, and he was secretly delighted.

In his previous life, he was crushed to death by this group of old men.

Today I finally saw these bastards get their comeuppance.

But he wasn't about to let the old guys off so easily.

"So it was Uncle Cheng and the others who forced Father Emperor to do this?"

Li Shimin quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, yes! Gao Ming is absolutely right."

"But wasn't the Drunken Immortal Pavilion booked out by my uncle? The steward of the Changsun Mansion said he booked it in advance."

Did my uncle pull Father out a few days in advance?

Changsun Wuji was so angry at Li Chengqian's words that he almost died on the spot.

Why did this little brat put the blame on himself?

Isn't this blatantly telling his sister that he's the one who corrupted the emperor?

as predicted.

Upon hearing these words, Changsun Wugou's gaze towards her elder brother, Changsun Wuji, changed.

"The Duke of Qi is truly generous."

Empress Zhangsun snorted coldly.

Changsun Wuji was speechless and about to speak when Li Shimin glared at him fiercely, silencing him.

In this situation, no matter who takes the blame, it absolutely cannot be placed on Emperor Li Shimin's head.

Empress Zhangsun did not want to make things too ugly outside, after all, the emperor's face still had to be taken into consideration.

She turned around without even glancing at Li Shimin.

"Since Your Majesty has state affairs to discuss, I will not disturb you any longer."

Empress Zhangsun took Li Chengqian's hand.

"Brilliant idea, let's go back to the palace."

After saying this, Empress Zhangsun bowed to Li Yuan and left without looking back.

Li Shimin had no interest in watching the Hu women dance.

He hurriedly chased after her.

"Guanyinbi! Wait for me!"

Before leaving, Li Shimin even pretended to roar at Cheng Yaojin and the others:

"Send away all these irrelevant people."

"You old fogies, tomorrow morning at court you will all kneel outside the Taiji Hall."

Cheng Yaojin and the others were so devastated they could only nod repeatedly.

You're amazing! You're incredible.

Seeing that the main characters had all left, Li Yuan felt there was no point in staying.

He got up and left.

However, Li Yuan seemed to be in a very good mood.

He even left humming a little tune.

On the carriage returning to the palace.

Empress Zhangsun sat in the carriage with her eyes closed, not uttering a sound.

Li Shimin sat opposite him, his hands on his knees, behaving with the utmost decorum.

There was nothing he could do; when he first got on the carriage, he tried to get close to Empress Zhangsun, but he was pushed away.

Li Chengqian sat to the side, holding a teacup, watching with amusement.

Old Deng! You've finally met your match!

Li Shimin was driven almost mad by the atmosphere in the carriage.

He desperately tried to signal to Li Chengqian with his eyes.

Li Chengqian put down his teacup and blinked:

"Father, is your eye twitching?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

That little brat definitely did it on purpose.

Upon hearing Li Chengqian's voice, Empress Zhangsun slowly opened her eyes and coldly glanced at Li Shimin.

"If Your Majesty is unwell, summon the imperial physician upon returning to the palace, lest you infect Gao Ming."

Li Shimin quickly waved his hand and said:

"No... I'm fine."

Guanyinbi, today's events are truly a misunderstanding..."

"Your Majesty need not explain to me."

Empress Zhangsun interrupted him directly.

"Your Majesty, I am but a woman and do not understand the grand principles of the court."

The Duke of Qi is accompanying His Majesty to inspect the people's conditions; how could I, your humble servant, dare to obstruct him?

Li Shimin felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

That's it, I'm really angry this time.
