My harem can't be this messy

"You're turning a corner and wanting to say that Zhi'er is still the same as before. I can see that Zhi'er still has his heart at this time."

When Li Shimin returned to Ganlu Palace, the Queen personally spread the quilt for him, changed his clothes, and even warmed his bed. Of course, it was impossible to accompany him to sleep.

At this time, Li Shimin couldn't bear this kind of temptation, and if his wound collapsed again, it would not be like last time, but a near death.

Empress Changsun withdrew from Ganlu Hall, and a palace official came to the bedroom where Li Shimin slept.

"Where did Prince Jin send his roast duck tonight?"

Chapter 497

"Your Majesty, all the prince's mansions and consort's mansions have been given away, as well as the concubines in the palace, the woman who gave birth to the prince for His Majesty, and the Changle Gate."

"Wei Prince's Mansion also sent it?"

"Give it away, and Dali Temple also gave it away, but it was only half of it. There was also a jug of wine and a knife in the food box. At that time, it scared the people of Dali Temple very much."

Li Shimin waved his hand, and the palace man withdrew from the Ganlu Palace.

Half a duck, Zhi'er is really particular here.If you send too much, it will be wasted if you can't finish it.

At this time, it was the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and the national power of the Tang Dynasty was at its peak.But it is undeniable that food is still not enough. In the long history of 5000 years in China, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, food gradually became enough.

So at this time, even in the prosperous age, it is still possible to save as much as possible, waste and extravagance, or avoid it as much as possible.

However, Li Zhi didn't really think about this, but it was a habit he had developed in later generations, and he didn't like to waste food very much.

In Wanchun Palace, Li Zhi was lying between the quilts where he used to lie, and the two women beside him were warming their bodies for King Jin. Li Zhi's hands were stroking the smooth skin, but he was looking at a cold star in the sky outside the window.

"Your Highness, what are you thinking?"

"Princess, what do you think of Wanchun Palace?"

"Some are too big and cold."

"It's cold, I will warm you up."

"It's also warm for my little aunt."

"Little aunt, where are you drilling, hey, don't!"

The light of dawn shines on the Tai Chi Palace. This morning, Li Shimin was discussing the matter of establishing a crown prince for the first time in the court hall after the crown prince was forced to force the palace. It's shut up.

Today, what Li Shimin originally thought was that all the courtiers should support the fourth son of the emperor as the crown prince. After all, he is old, and these ministers always want the eldest son to succeed to the throne. Thai.

However, there were quite a lot of different voices in the court, especially the king of Wu, who openly supported the king of Jin even when he himself might be made the crown prince.

This stunned a group of courtiers who were willing to support King Wu.King Wu Li Ke actually supported King Jin, but Li Shimin looked at him indifferently as the third son of the emperor. Since Li Kuan died early and after Li Chengqian forced the palace, he was already the eldest among the princes.

In the early court, there were only two princes at this time, and Li Shimin was even thinking about what would happen if the other princes were all here.

With the king of Wu taking the lead, the king of Shu must support the king of Jin, and the few young people in the palace must also support the king of Jin. As for the others, I am afraid that depending on the situation in the court, most of them also support the king of Jin.

My own sons, at this time, will have such a scene, except for Wei Wang, they all support Zhi'er.

Zhi'er's popularity among the princes couldn't be better.

The court meeting ended, and Li Shimin asked Li Ke to follow him.

On the way, I only asked Li Ke a word, why support King Jin?

Li Ke's answer is only one sentence, if King Wei ascends the throne in the future, these princes are afraid that they will die.

The harem, court hall, and the world, standing at the end of the 16th year of Zhenguan, with a cold wind blowing, Li Shimin saw the horse farm in the distance, Jin Wang was playing with several princes and princesses in the palace, Jin Wang was surrounded by several younger brothers and sisters The scene clearly fell into Li Shimin's eyes.

Li Shimin moved his hands, and finally, some firmness appeared in his eyes.

There is no need to think about it anymore, the position of the crown prince is uncertain, and the court is unstable.

Seeing that the princes are fighting openly and secretly, I am afraid that if they do not decide on the position of the crown prince, something will happen.

Although Zhi'er is still young, his actions at this time have already begun to show some of the inevitable qualities of being a prince.

Li Shimin thought back to his past, wasn't it the result of a large group of courtiers willing to help him that he was able to achieve his current position.

At this time, King Jin was really popular, and King Wu was willing to let Zhier be the heir apparent because of his temperament.

When Li Shimin returned to Ganlu Hall, he asked people to go to Lizheng Hall to call the queen.

"Your Majesty called me, did you already have a plan in mind?"

"Well, it's cured."

"I'll have someone prepare to clean up the East Palace."

"Queen, why do you think Zhi'er is so liked by these brothers?"

"Your Majesty, you are thinking about the past again."

"The most uncomfortable thing in my life is the disharmony between my brothers. I don't know why back then, but the brothers who played and played together since childhood turned against each other in the end. A life and death must be separated."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this kind of thing will not happen to Zhi'er."

"Tomorrow I will announce the candidate for the crown prince in the court hall, and you have to prepare Zhi'er in advance. Tomorrow, all the princes will enter..."

"Your Majesty, the establishment of a reserve must go to Chengtianmen."

"Tomorrow, civil and military courtiers, princes, come to Chengtian Gate."

On the second day of the Taiji Palace, everyone gathered at Chengtianmen early. When they arrived at Chengtianmen today, everyone understood that His Majesty had made up his mind at this time. Now that he had arrived at Chengtianmen, the candidate for the crown prince would definitely be confirmed today.

At this time, the princes also arrived at Chengtian Gate one after another. Wu Wang Li Ke and Shu Wang Li Yin stood together, and the fifth prince Li You also walked between the two brothers.

"Fifth brother!"

"Third Brother, I really didn't expect that Third Brother would support Jiu Di in the court."

"He is the first son, the empress must support him, who do you think the Taiwei is supporting?"

After a while, all the princes came here, and the youngest prince also came here, and naturally stood around the third prince.

Wei Wang Li Tai came here last, he came here by himself, standing under the Chengtian Gate, Li Tai already understood that he had lost the position of heir.

When Li Shimin took the hand of his ninth son to board the Chengtian Gate, there was already a long live voice under the Chengtian Gate.

At the end of the 16th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was established as the crown prince. Because the East Palace was still in the process of cleaning up and adding maids, the prince temporarily lived in the Jin Palace.

At this time, Li Zhi was guarding a large pond, in which were duck downs that had been soaked for several days, and were salvaged at this time, and the water was controlled to dry them.

The sun has been pretty good these days, and it is estimated that the duck down will be completely dried in two or three days.

Seeing the duck down drying, Li Zhi rushed to the palace, his identity changed at this time, but Li Zhi was still the same as usual, entering from the Changle Gate, and was the first to rush to the Queen's place.

But Li Zhi came here today, in fact, he was going to Shangyi Bureau, he found Shangyi Yunxi, this girl was very happy for two days.

Seeing Li Zhi, he bowed and called His Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Zhi was still a little uncomfortable at this time. He was His Royal Highness Jin Wang before, but suddenly everyone called him His Royal Highness the Prince, and he couldn't get used to it.

"Okay, Yun Xi, you don't need to be too polite."

"His Royal Highness, what are you doing at the Shangyi Bureau today?"

Chapter 498

"Let's pick some fabrics. We need to weave finer and finer silk materials. The finer the better."

"Then Yunxi took the crown prince down to pick."

"Yun Xi, you can just call me Your Highness, always call His Highness the Crown Prince, this king... Hey, it's my palace that always feels uncomfortable."

Yun Xi covered her lips and smiled. Others were vying to be the prince. Now that the Ninth Prince was the prince, she said that she was not used to it, so she didn't allow herself to call him His Highness the Prince, but only His Highness.

"Alright, Your Highness, follow Yunxi to pick out the fabric!"

Li Zhi followed Yun Xi, and Yun Xi took Li Zhi to the place where all kinds of silk materials were stored, and showed Li Zhi several rows of finely woven silk materials, which were the best among the tributes.

Li Zhi stretched out his hand to touch these kinds of silk materials, and realized that he really didn't know how to pick them, since they were all made of silk anyway, Li Zhi couldn't tell whether they were good or bad. As expected, he has a specialty in art, and Li Zhi could tell good or bad by touching a woman's skin. I really can't touch this.

"Yun Xi, do you know the cotton coats that I gave to the emperor and the empress last time?"

"Your Highness, this Yun Xi naturally knows that it is made of silk and filled with cotton. If His Highness wants to fill with cotton, these types of silk materials should be fine."

"This time my king... hey, I'm always used to being called my king, and I can't change it. I was ridiculed by the concubines and the others several times in the Jin Palace. It's this palace, this palace, and I'm going to live in the East Palace." Now, it will be called my palace."

"Your Highness will get used to it after a while. This is just the beginning. There must always be some discomfort."

"Yeah, I'm not used to it yet. At the Queen Mother's place, if you call me Queen Mother once, you can pinch my ass hard. Look, my buttocks are still red now."

This bastard Li Zhi lifted up the hem of his clothes in front of Yun Xi, took off his pants without any scruples, and showed Yun Xi his ass that was screwed red by Empress Changsun.

The queen mother pinched him, but it was really hard to pinch.

Yun Xi looked at it, but it wasn't too red, so she stroked it lightly with her hand a few times, and looked at the prince.

"Your Highness, is it still hurting?"

"It's nothing more than pain. I have rough skin and thick flesh. This kind of pain is nothing. The mother's mother is trying to make me remember so much. It's all screwed up like this. See if Bengong still often yells wrong."

Yun Xi lifted Li Zhi's trousers and tidied up the hem of his clothes.

"By the way, Your Highness, what did you say this time?"

"Oh, I almost forgot the business. This time, I didn't fill the silk with cotton, but duck down."

"Duck down? Your Highness, Prince Jin's Mansion bought so many ducks a few days ago. Could it be that your Highness is not for the roast duck, but for the duck down?"

"It's for the roast duck, and it's also for the duck down. There's also duck blood and duck oil. When you go to Jinwang Mansion, you'll know the magic of these things."

"Then Yun Xi has to go and have a look, Your Highness, Yun Xi has never filled the duck down, it's really hard to say."

"Well, Yun Xi, you pick a few horses that you think can be used, arrange the affairs of the Shangyi Bureau, and bring two embroiderers who are good at craftsmanship, and live in Jinwang's mansion for a few days."

"Okay, but if Yun Xi wants to leave the palace, he needs to ask..."

"You fool, you forgot that Ben Gong is here, who else do you need to tell?"

"Then wait a minute, Your Highness. I will make arrangements for the Shangyi Bureau, and I will go to Jinwang Mansion with Your Highness."

Yun Xi went to arrange things here. At this time of winter, the Shangyi Bureau is actually not busy here. After making arrangements, Yun Xi asked two embroiderers he trusted to follow him.

Li Zhi asked someone to call for a carriage, loaded a few horses of cloth picked by Yun Xi into the cart, and the group went to Jinwang Mansion.

At this time, the duck down was still drying, and Li Zhi took Yun Xi with him. Yun Xi was quite amazed when he saw the duck down drying in pieces. At this time, he squatted down, grabbed some with his hands, and tried to rub them.

"Your Highness, this duck down seems to be a little different from what Yun Xi has seen before."

"Oh, what's the difference?"

"I can't tell, but this duck down feels much better to the touch."

"This duck down has been soaked in alkaline water, Yunxi, do you know how to make a brush?"

"Oh, I've soaked in alkaline water before. I didn't expect alkaline water to be useful. How do you make a writing brush? Your Highness, does this have anything to do with making writing brushes?"

"Well, the animal hair used for the writing brush has also been soaked in alkaline water, otherwise it will not absorb ink. I also borrowed the method of making writing brushes. By the way, Yunxi, if you touch this duck down, do you think it is suitable for filling and making clothes? ?”

"This Yun Xi doesn't know yet, you have to try to know."

"Well, this duck down still needs some time to dry, and you should be able to try it tomorrow."

While the two were talking, the princess saw Li Zhi and Yun Xi and ran over.At this time, Jin Wang became the prince, and Wang Yan, the Jin concubine, was also successfully promoted to the crown prince.

Li Zhi saw her running over, but before he could react, suddenly Wang Yan raised her hand, stretched out her palm, and blew into her palm, and then Li Zhi saw the tiny duck down flying around, which quickly touched his head and face .

After finishing the prank, the princess quickly ran away, and Li Zhi naturally chased after her. Yun Xi couldn't stop laughing when she saw it.

At this moment, watching the two run away, Yun Xi asked the maid to take him to pick a courtyard. After putting the cloth away, Yun Xi thought about how to fill the cloth with duck down.

At this time, Li Zhi caught the princess, after all, Wang Yan couldn't run as fast as him.Li Zhi took the duck down from his body and painted Wang Yan's head and face.

"The duck down that Bengong managed to obtain was ruined by you like this."

"It's so fun!"

Li Zhi hooked the Crown Princess' chin with his hand, and couldn't help pinching it lightly.

"I know how to play, but you don't dare to let Sizi and the others see how you play. If they see it, I guess there will be very little duck down left in this palace."

Wang Yan smiled, and stretched out her hand to remove the duck down from the prince's face and hair.

"Okay, don't mess with it. Such thin duck down will definitely not be cleaned by hand. I will take a bath with Ben Gong later, so that I can clean it. I will not dare to spoil Ben Gong's duck down like this in the future."

"it is good!"
