"Oh, my dear, where is Ke 'er?"
Li Er was eating the steamed bass made by Yang Fei. He looked around and suddenly asked.
As the eldest son of Yang Fei, Li Ke was born noble and inherited the blood of two dynasties. In terms of the nobility of blood, no one in the entire Tang Empire could compare to him. He could be said to be the noblest prince in the Tang Empire.
On the other hand, Li Ke was good at both civil and martial arts. His decisiveness was very similar to Li Er's, so Li Er was especially fond of him. After not seeing Li Ke for half a day, Li Er started to talk about him.
"Your Majesty, Ke 'er is probably practicing martial arts with General Dugu in Beiya right now!"
Speaking of her son, Yang Fei's face showed a touch of kindness. That was the unique gentleness of a mother.
Beiya was the north of the Imperial City. After Li Yuan became the Emperor, he selected 30,000 imperial guards from the Taiyuan Uprising army to be stationed in the north of the Imperial City. They were responsible for the defense of the Imperial Palace. They were called the Yuancong Imperial Guards, also known as Beiya.
"Hmm, as expected of my son. You are really eager to learn!"
Li Er nodded in appreciation. He glanced at a stack of newspapers on the table not far away and asked curiously, "My dear, do you read the newspapers on a daily basis?"
"Hmm, occasionally!"
Yang Fei answered casually. In fact, she didn't read it occasionally but often. She was usually bored in the harem and the newspapers provided her with a very good way to pass the time. She basically read every issue of the newspaper from beginning to end. However, she couldn't say that because if she said that, it would seem like she was complaining that Li Er didn't come to see her often.
In the Imperial Palace where people's hearts were complicated, Yang Fei had learned to be careful with her words and actions and how to protect herself.
"Hmm, bring today's newspaper for me to see!"
Li Er didn't have the energy to think about a woman's complicated thoughts. He remembered that he didn't have time to read today's newspaper, so he said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Yang Fei got up and walked over with light steps. She brought today's Datang Daily and handed it to Li Er. Li Er took the newspaper and put it beside his rice bowl. He began to eat and read the newspaper.
"Hmm?"
Of course, Li Er didn't have time to read the articles at the front of the newspaper. He directly read the headlines, but after reading the news, Li Er frowned deeply.
"What's wrong? Your Majesty? "
At this moment, Yang Fei had finished eating. She was wiping her red lips with a handkerchief. Seeing Li Er's expression, she couldn't help but be puzzled.
"Have you seen today's headlines?"
Li Er asked.
"Oh! Chenqie saw it! Does Your Majesty think that this news is inappropriate? "
"It's more than inappropriate! It's totally inappropriate! "
Li Er slapped the table and stopped eating. He stood up with his hands behind his back and said, "Previously, when Li Zexuan founded Datang Daily, I didn't think much of it. But from today's news, I'm afraid that this kid has been plotting for a long time! Today, he could use newspapers to smear and attack his ministers. Tomorrow, would he be able to use newspapers to form cliques? A small newspaper could be used as a weapon in a fight between factions. This kid was really good at scheming! If we don't knock him down a few times, wouldn't he ascend to the heavens? "
"Your Majesty, I've heard that Li Siye is knowledgeable at such a young age and has a pure character. I don't think he would do something like that, would he?"
Yang Fei hesitated for a moment and said.
"Hmph! I don't think he would either. But what needs to be knocked down must be knocked down! Otherwise, this kid will inevitably go astray one day with a sharp weapon in his hands! "
Li Er said coldly.
He knew Li Zexuan's character very well. He guessed that Li Zexuan was purely retaliating against Cui Shanyou and the others. But even though he guessed it, he still didn't agree with Li Zexuan's way of doing things. The newspaper's ability to influence public opinion was a thorn in Li Er's heart. He felt very uncomfortable.
…
Prince Hejian's Manor.
"Haha, Li Siye is a busy man. It's not easy to invite him!"
As soon as Li Zexuan entered the manor, a young man with a noble aura walked towards him. Li Zexuan recognized him at a glance. It was Li Daozong. He had met him two days ago on Murky Island.
"So Wang Ye is also here. Please forgive my rudeness. This one was delayed by some business at the Imperial College and came late. I hope Wang Ye will not take offense!"
Seeing Li Daozong, Li Zexuan was shocked. At this time, he didn't know what Junwang Fei was planning.
"Haha, no offense, no offense! Kid, come with ben wang to see Wang Sao! I've been waiting for you for a long time! "
Li Daozong roared with laughter.
Actually, he had been invited by Junwang Fei today.
Because Li Xiaogong was out at sea, there was no male host in the manor. Junwang Fei was just a woman and it was inconvenient to invite guests. Therefore, Li Daozong was invited. He could also be the witness for Li Huairen's apprenticeship. It was killing two birds with one stone.
"Wang Ye is right. Please go ahead!"
"Haha, let's go!"
…
Li Zexuan followed Li Daozong to the main hall of Hejian Junwang Fu. As expected, Junwang Fei was waiting inside. Beside her were two youths in their teens. Compared to her coquettish attire when Li Zexuan had seen her last time, she was dressed much more solemnly this time. Her eyebrows showed signs of tiredness. She looked to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. She did not wear any makeup and her skin was white and tender. However, the mature charm in her bones could not be concealed.
I wonder where Li Xiaogong, that old pervert, found such a wife. Tsk tsk! In history, Li Xiaogong died young. Is it related to this?
Li Zexuan's mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts.
"Li Siye has come? Please, sit! "
Seeing Li Zexuan come in, Junwang Fei hurriedly stood and greeted him with a smile.
"Junwang Fei is too polite! This one has come late. Wang Fei, please forgive me! "
Li Zexuan jumped out of his chaotic thoughts and raised his hands in a bow.
"Haha, no matter, no matter. Chongyi, Huairen, come over and greet Sir Li."
Junwang Fei chuckled and then beckoned to the two youths beside her.
"This one, Li Chongyi, greets Sir!"
"This one, Li Huairen, greets Sir!"
Regardless of whether these two were usually mischievous, under the threat of Junwang Fei's gaze, they showed the appearance of obedient children and went forward to bow to Li Zexuan.
"Shizi, there is no need to be so courteous! Please rise! "
Li Zexuan felt very good inside. Usually, he was the one who called himself a boy in front of others. Now, it was others' turn to call themselves a boy in front of him. While Li Chongyi might be about the same age as him, and Li Huairen was only two or three years younger than him, the etiquette of a teacher could not be ignored!
"Thank you, Sir!"
The two youths stood and said.
"This fei speculates that Li Siye has not had time to eat. He is probably starving! This fei will order the dishes to be served now. We can talk about other matters after the meal. How about it? "
Junwang Fei said with a smile.
"Haha, this boy is definitely hungry! Auntie Wang, just have the dishes be served! "
Li Daozong said with a smile.
"I will follow Wang Fei and Wang Ye's arrangements!"
Li Zexuan raised his hands and said with a smile.
He was indeed a little hungry, but why did his words sound a little strange?
