After coming out of Ganlu Palace, Li Hong did not go directly back to the Eastern Palace, but went to his mother.

There was no way. My mother had said that if Li Xian and Li Zhexue were bad, it was because of me. But I was still a child. I couldn't take the blame for this!

Li Hong used two magic weapons: a backpack and a skateboard. After leaving Ganlu Palace, he put the backpack on his back, put the skateboard on the ground, stepped on it with one foot, and headed towards Wu Mei's palace at lightning speed.

After several years of improvements, skateboards have become increasingly lighter and have made great strides overall. Li Hong even believes that they can be compared with skateboards from the previous life.

Xiazhi, Xiaohan, Mangzhong and Huameng have already gotten used to it. The prince is shouting and flying on a skateboard in front of them, and they have no choice but to follow him and chase him.

"Your son comes to pay his respects to the Queen Mother." The voice came before the person arrived.

After hearing Li Hong's voice, Li Xian and Li Zhe looked at Wu Mei at the same time, their eyes showing why he came here again.

Wu Mei raised her head unhappily and listened to the sound, then looked at Li Xian and Li Zhe and said, "Don't cry when he teases you later. You are not like your big brother at all when you were little."

"Mother, we are not as useless as our eldest brother. Everyone in Chang'an knows that the reputation of the royal family has been ruined by him. Now when people in Chang'an mention the prince, they almost classify him as a pile of flies and rats." Li Xian said with a pout.

...

...

"Oh, then you are trying to imitate him. Although you don't learn other things well, you are very good at teasing the palace maids. And you, you are not allowed to learn from Li Hong and Li Xian." Wu Mei said to the youngest Li Zhe.

"I value royal etiquette the most, so naturally I won't be like them." Li Zhe said with a serious face, as if seeking credit.

The two brothers were only one year apart in age, one was three years younger than Li Hong, and the other was four years younger, but even if they were together, they were still bullied by Li Hong. Every now and then, the two would run back to Taiji Palace from the East Palace crying and complain to Wu Mei about Li Hong's various evil deeds.

A head flew past the glass window quickly, shouting, "Make way, don't blame me if you get hit, I can't control the speed of this new skateboard. I'm here to see you again, mother..."

Before he finished speaking, a figure flew straight into Wu Mei's palace, and stopped the car on the precious Persian carpet in what he thought was a cool and handsome manner. Then he stepped on the front edge of the skateboard in front of him with his toes, and the skateboard obediently lifted up the end. The prince took it away and threw it back without even looking at it. Hua Meng, who was panting behind him, quickly reached out to take it.

The series of movements were smooth and elegant, without any delay. It was obvious that he had done this dozens of times. Li Xian and Li Zhe were full of envy, but they could not learn to fly on the skateboard.

Li Hong smiled and greeted Wu Mei again, with a coquettish expression on his face, and was about to rub his body against Wu Mei's arms.

Wu Mei looked at him with complicated eyes, not knowing who this naughty boy resembled more. She hadn't paid much attention to him in the past few years, but now she saw that the little guy who was spanked by her had grown a lot taller.

I don’t know if it’s because of the good royal bloodline or the nutritious royal food, but the ten-year-old boy is as tall as a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child. Now standing next to Li Sujie, who is two years older than him, he is slightly half a head taller than Li Sujie.

He was also much stronger than Li Sujie, and had the energy of a young calf. However, he always had a naughty smile on his face, and every time Wu Mei saw him, her palms itched, and she really wanted to pull him over and give him a beating.

"In front of your two royal brothers, can you please behave like an elder brother and a prince! It's not decent for you to be so unruly every day." Wu Mei was too lazy to do it now. She couldn't do it anymore. She had been doing it for ten years but she still couldn't make him behave like a royal child.

Li Hong chuckled, not caring at all that Wu Mei pushed him away from her arms. He walked over to Li Xian and Li Zhe, tapped them on the forehead quickly, and said with a chuckle, "How is it? Have you learned how to skateboard? I won't take you with me in the future. Last time, I almost fell to my death to protect you. If I take you with me next time, I'll take Li Dan to play."

"Hmph, we are not yet slippery. We don't have any royal rules. If we tell others, we will be laughed at." Li Zhe wanted to slap away Li Hong's hand that had just tapped his forehead, but the other person's hand was faster than his, and he missed, he said unhappily.

"A joke? Why are you afraid of being laughed at? Remember, those who laugh at you are often not as good as you." Li Hong started to teach Li Zhe a lesson.

"That means you are not as good as us, haha." Li Xian seized on Li Hong's wrong words and counterattacked.

Li Hong rolled his eyes, looked at the new tea that Wu Mei hadn't touched on the table, picked it up without hesitation, and drank it in one gulp, which made Wu Mei so angry that her head was full of black lines again.

Beating and scolding were of no use, so she simply pretended not to see anything and continued to tease Li Dan in her arms. This little guy was now the apple of her eye.

"I'm not as good as you? Li Xian, Li Zhe, you can pick any one of you and see which of you is worse than me. Of course, except for the royal etiquette and other rules." Li Hong said.

"Hmph, I'm going to compete with you in our royal family's etiquette. My queen mother has said that this is what a prince should possess. As the crown prince, you should have even better skills and set a good example for us, but you didn't do it." Li Zhe continued to argue.

"What mother said is not entirely right. Mother asked you to learn skateboarding. Have you learned it? Why don't you listen to me?" Li Hong shook his hands, too lazy to argue with them.

He continued to move closer to Wu Mei with a shameless look, looked at Li Dan who was just over half a year old, and stretched out his hand to touch the pink little cheek, but before he could touch it, his hand was quickly slapped away by Wu Mei.

"I just coaxed him to sleep, and you want to wake him up again?" Wu Mei stared at him and warned.

"By the way, I heard from mother that you always bullied us and made us cry when we were little." Li Xian also ran over and said to Li Dan in Wu Mei's arms.

"You make it sound like I can't make you two cry right now." Li Hong said disdainfully.

Ignoring the two little brat brothers, Li Hongtian put his arm around Wu Mei's shoulders and said, "Mother, when will you give us a sister? I don't want a brother like this. Look at these two... Ouch... Mother, my ears... My ears... are about to fall off. I know I was wrong."

"Hahaha……"

Li Xian and Li Zhe watched with happy smiles, enduring Li Hong's mother's rage and beating up Li Hong from the moment they entered the room.

"Little thing, do you have any manners? I have tolerated you since you came in, but you have become even worse. Which two are bastards? You still want a sister? Even if I give birth to a sister for you, can you teach her well? Look at Yi Yang and Gao An now, they have been spoiled by you! You little monkey, you are becoming more and more unruly!" Wu Mei said gritting her teeth.

Li Dan in her arms was taken away by the palace maid immediately. Wu Mei, with both hands free, grabbed Li Hong's ear and walked to the study step by step. Li Xian and Li Zhe were also sent out to play by her.

"What's wrong? What's the matter that makes you run to me so quickly from your father?" Wu Mei let go of Li Hong's red ears and began to blame herself for being too harsh.

This little monkey is always like this. When he makes you angry, he wants you to pull his ears off so that he can vent his anger. After you are done, he looks at his red ears and feels heartache and regret again.

"Mother, I want to ask for your approval for something." Li Hong rubbed his ears with a grin.

Wu Mei snorted, pulled the half-grown boy into her arms, and helped Li Hong rub his other ear.

"What do you want to say first? After you tell me, I will make plans based on the situation. Don't expect me to agree immediately." Wu Mei said coldly.

"Yes, mother, I know that you are the best and most beautiful, like a fairy. One day I will definitely draw the most beautiful portrait of you."

"Let's talk about business." Wu Mei gently twisted Li Hong's ear.

"Mother, I would like to ask you to allow Yi Yang and Gao An to leave the palace." Li Hong said in a low voice.

"Why?" Wu Mei's hands stiffened slightly and asked.

"Aunt Lanling is going back to her fiefdom this time. I hope she can take one of Yiyang or Gaoan with her, and Aunt Lanling has already agreed."

Wu Mei stared out the window intently, stroking Li Hong's head with one hand unconsciously, and murmured, "Can you tell me why you made such an arrangement? You have had your own opinions since you were young, and every time you do something, it is meaningful, unlike Li Xian and Li Zhe, who are six or seven years old and are not as sensible as you were when you were four."

"Mother, you have seen that if Aunt Lanling and Aunts Chengyang and Xincheng had not occupied the shares of this glass, I am afraid they would not be able to repair their mansions in Chang'an now. If Yiyang and Gaoan were the same as them..."

Wu Mei keenly noticed the subtext of Li Hong's words and quickly asked, "What does that have to do with Lanling's going to the fiefdom? What are you going to do?"

"Hehe, it's true that no one knows a son better than his mother. The Queen Mother is so smart, gentle and virtuous..."

"If you don't get down to business, I'm going to change my mind."

"No, no, no, mother, it's like this. Lanling Xiao Clan's Lanling wine is too expensive. Every time the emperor father holds a banquet, he drinks so much wine, which costs a lot of money. I feel sorry for him when I see it, so I hope to cooperate with Lanling Xiao Clan..."

"No, don't you know your father's recent intentions towards the Five Surnames and Seven Families? He has just issued a decree prohibiting the Five Surnames and Seven Families from marrying freely. Aren't you going against your father if you cooperate with him like this? Can't you figure out such a simple thing?" Wu Mei objected and warned Li Hong before he could finish speaking.

"Mother, my main purpose is just their wine. You also know that these aristocratic families control the middle and low-level officials in the court, and even the officials as high as the left and right prime ministers. I am not stupid, so how could I cooperate with them?" Li Hong said to calm Wu Mei's emotions.

"Then what do you mean?" Wu Mei asked curiously.

"It's very simple. Make Lanling wine belong to the Tang Dynasty instead of Lanling Xiao's. 'Lanling wine is the color of tulips, and is served in jade bowls with an amber luster. If the host can make the guests drunk, they will not know where they are.' If such good wine is only used as a source of income for Lanling Xiao's family, wouldn't it be too unfair to your father and you?" The sly smile that made Wu Mei's palms itch appeared on the corners of Li Hong's mouth again.
