After seeing off the royal relatives, Li Hong looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark. In another incense stick of time, it would be time for his father and mother to have dinner. It was just right, so he went over to have a free meal today.

The three groups of people today did not come for nothing. Whether it was my aunt, mother and daughter, or my uncle, they were all controlled by someone behind the scenes. As for who was behind the scenes, it was as obvious as lice on a bald man's head.

As for the royal family members, haha... these people are not given for nothing, but are always waiting to counterattack their father's throne. At this time, they keenly noticed the undercurrents between the emperor, the queen, and the prince. If they don't add fuel to the fire, they will be too sorry for the trusted spies they have placed in every corner of the palace for so many years.

Therefore, apart from the clan members who voluntarily joined in, the arrival of my aunt and uncle was actually a kind of implied compromise and a prerequisite for negotiation. Now, I can enter the palace to negotiate with my mother and father.

Xiazhi and Mangzhong followed him into the palace. Li Hong rode his skateboard leisurely, swaying like a child who had just finished school. He carried his backpack and started walking towards the palace.

"Your son Li Hong greets father and mother. Hey, the little one has grown taller." Li Hong jumped onto the stairs on his skateboard and just in time saw Li Xian and Li Zhe walking in. He rubbed their hair and said.

Li Xian and Li Zhe rolled their eyes at him helplessly, ignoring the fact that the prince was riding a skateboard, crossing the threshold of his mother's palace, and then landing steadily on the soft carpet.

"Lian Tie, catch it." Li Hong stood on the carpet with one foot and pushed the skateboard hard with the other foot. The skateboard slid towards Lian Tie quickly. Lian Tie hurriedly stretched out a hand and leaned over to take the skateboard, then picked it up and handed it to the palace maid beside him.

"Don't worry about Lian Tie in the future. Let him pay for what he breaks. Everyone knows that his East Palace is almost richer than the Imperial Palace." Wu Mei looked at the half-year-old Li Dan in her arms and said coldly without even looking at Li Hong.

...

...

"Yes, I will follow the Queen's orders." Lian Tie replied with a smile.

"Where's my father? He hasn't come yet?" Li Hong didn't even look at Li Xian and Li Zhe who were paying their respects to Wu Mei in a proper manner. He strolled back and forth in the palace casually, looking extremely relaxed.

Wu Mei watched Li Hong who was wandering around from the corner of her eye, and finally handed Li Dan in her arms to the palace maid next to her. She raised her head and looked at Li Hong who was wandering around, and her jade-like forehead was filled with black lines again!

"Li Hong, come here!" Wu Mei said gritting her teeth.

If it was just Li Hong alone, Wu Mei would not get angry, but as long as the three brothers were here, looking at Li Xian and Li Zhe who were very well-behaved and followed the royal etiquette, and then looking at the wild boy Li Hong, a slight comparison between the three, Wu Mei had an urgent urge to strangle him to death.

"What's wrong with my mother?" Li Hong, who was about to approach the palace maid to tease Li Dan, looked alert and ready to run away at any time.

Wu Mei looked at Li Hong, who was alert and ready to run away. She first motioned Li Xian and Li Zhe to sit down, then sighed and said to Li Hong softly, "Hong'er, come here. Mother hasn't seen you these days. Come here and let me take a good look at you."

"This distance is very good. If it's too close, the Queen Mother won't be able to see clearly." Li Hong said as he backed away. If he ran now, the Queen Mother would not be able to catch up with him.

Wu Mei's face turned pale, and she stared at Li Hong who was ready to retreat at any time, and said in a deep voice: "Lian Tie..."

"Lian Tie, if you dare come over here, just try. I still have a score to settle with you. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because I have my mother's support. I dared to deal with you when you were three years old. I will dare to deal with you even more now that you become the crown prince!" Li Hong interrupted Wu Mei and warned Lian Tie before she could finish her words.

Lian Tie hurriedly stopped and did not take back his step. As long as the queen spoke again, he would immediately and without hesitation take the prince to the queen.

Wu Mei still looked at Li Hong with a sullen face, and Li Hong also looked at her warily. The two of them just stared at each other from a distance of seven or eight steps. After looking at each other for a long time, Wu Mei finally compromised, sighed, and leaned back in the chair.

He adjusted his anger that was easily provoked by Li Hong, and then said calmly: "The prince came to my palace today..."

"Hehe, mother, please don't address me like that. When you address me as the prince and call yourself the queen, I feel helpless and uncomfortable... Ouch... I know my crime, mother, please let go, my ears are about to break!"

"Hmph, do you think I can't catch you, a wild boy, without the help of Tie? You go against me every day, can you behave yourself a little? You have been the crown prince for several years, can't you change this habit? Is the reputation of the royal family so unimportant in your heart, Li Hong? Is it so worthless? Is it so not valued by you, Li Hong?" Wu Mei gritted her teeth, and the veins on her jade hand that was grabbing Li Hong's ear were exposed, and it was obvious that she was using force.

"I know I was wrong. Tomorrow I will ask Shangguan Yi to teach me royal etiquette and I will never be perfunctory to you, my mother." Li Hong begged for mercy.

Wu Mei contentedly let go of Li Hong, whose ears were pulled red, and clapped her hands contentedly before saying, "Tell me, you must be here for bad reasons. Before your father comes, tell me what you want to say first, or I will act like nothing happened after you and your father start talking."

"Mother, you are so wise. You are the embodiment of intelligence, the goddess of wisdom, the model of kindness, and the queen who is the mother of the country. Really, I think you can be compared with the Empress Dowager." Li Hong rubbed Wu Mei's shoulders from behind to please her. His flattering words made Li Xian and Li Zhe stunned and feel sick.

"Let's talk about your business. When your father comes, your mother won't help you at all." Wu Mei said leisurely as she enjoyed Li Hong massaging her shoulders.

"Mother, I want Li Xian and Li Zhe to study in Chongwenguan instead of just staying in Hongwenguan. They have almost finished reading the royal etiquette models and the books of ancient sages. In my opinion, those are just enlightenment readings and they will be fine after reading them. Now they should go to Chongwenguan to learn some new things to prevent the royal heirs from lagging far behind others in the field of great knowledge." Li Hong whispered seriously in Wu Mei's ear.

"Mother, I won't go." Li Xian and Li Zhe stood up and said at the same time.

"Hey, do you have the right to speak? This is what I discussed with my mother, and you have to listen whether you want to or not. Besides, I am doing this for your own good. After you go to Chongwenguan, I will tailor a set of learning methods for you based on your preferences and talents. You can learn whatever you like. Who knows, you may become great scholars of our Tang Dynasty in the future." Li Hong stopped what he was doing and scolded the two of them with the power of a tiger.

"Don't stop." Wu Mei said with her eyes closed.

"Yes, mother, just listen, I will continue to scold them. I will tell you two..."

"I told you not to stop!" Wu Mei opened her eyes angrily and tilted her neck to look at Li Hong.

"Oh, I understand. So, mother has agreed to let them go to Chongwenguan?" Li Hong was overjoyed and asked while continuing to respectfully touch Wu Mei's shoulders with his hands.

"You let them go, not just because you want to bully them, right?" Wu Mei closed her eyes again, enjoying Li Hong's massage with just the right strength and asked.

"Of course not. They are my brothers. They are not Li Sujie, Shang Jin and Li Xiao. They will not bully them. I really want them to learn something serious so that they can contribute to the Tang Dynasty in the future."

Today, Li Hong was forced by the royal family to share Taiyi City in the East Palace, which forced him to speed up his plan, which was to train his brothers and sisters according to their interests and hobbies by relying on himself as a big tree with unique advantages.

Li Hong looked out the window at the tree that he and his father had planted, which was growing vigorously, and thought to himself, "Well, it's still a small tree now."

Li Hong's ultimate goal, of course, is to use his own abilities to train them into princes who are not just eyeing the throne, but can make achievements in a certain field.

"What about Li Xiao and the others? Will they also go to your Chongwenguan? All the royal descendants have gone to your Chongwenguan, so who will you let study in your Hongwenguan?" Wu Mei asked.

"Of course there are also those royal family members who don't want to go to Chongwenguan to study in Hongwenguan, as well as those children from famous families, right?" Li Hong answered fluently.

Wu Mei slapped his hand away, pulled him forward, looked at him and asked solemnly: "Tell me, what are you planning now?"

Wu Mei relied on her intuition and felt that this wild boy did not seem to be joking this time, but seemed to be planning something big.

"How about we wait until the emperor comes before talking? Otherwise, I will have to spend more time talking... No, not more time talking." Li Hong saw Wu Meifeng glaring at him and quickly changed his words.

"Okay, I'll wait patiently." Wu Mei glanced out the window. Why is His Majesty late today? Normally, he should have arrived by this time.

Turning his head, he looked at Li Hong, who looked calm and composed, as if he had known that Your Majesty would be late.

Li Hong carefully took Li Dan from the maid, rocked him in his arms, and said nonchalantly, "I plan to bring Li Yifu out of the Dali Temple tomorrow."

"Okay." Wu Mei stood up and walked to the door to greet Li Zhi.

One question and one answer, just two simple sentences, showed Wu Mei's attitude. Tomorrow, Dali Temple Minister Duan Baoxuan can release the people without any worries. And what Li Hong needs to do is not to be ruthless to his two uncles and Helan Minzhi.

Otherwise, Duan Baoxuan would definitely not let Li Yifu go easily just because of his words, given the charges of entering the harem without permission, raping Yi Yang and Gao An, flattering and seducing the queen.

But now that he had his mother, and she had pardoned Li Yifu's so-called crimes, it would be easy for him to bring Li Yifu forward.

This is the royal family. Everything is simple and not simple at the same time. There is always some kind of compromise to be made behind the scenes, using explicit or implicit, or contradictory words.

The death of Li Yifu's daughter and son-in-law also reduced the impeachment of Li Yifu in the court. After all, his father would cooperate with him to remove all his official positions and confer the title of Prince Taibao on him. This would be considered an explanation to all the officials in the court.

"Your son greets His Majesty."

Li Hong's thoughts were interrupted by the greetings from Li Xian and Li Zhe. After coming to his senses, Li Hong hurriedly carried little Li Dan over to pay his respects.

"Your mother actually let you hold Li Dan in your arms? Have you done something worthy of boasting?" Li Zhi joked as he looked at Li Hong who was holding Li Dan.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. When Li Xian and Li Zhe were young, I was also young and could not hold them. Now that I have grown up, it is natural for me to help you share the burden, right, mother?" Li Hong's playful behavior formed a sharp contrast with the well-behaved Li Xian and Li Zhe.
