Liangzhou is a remote area with constant sandstorms and many bandits. Li Chengyou is a noble prince. If anything unexpected happens to him, the consequences will be disastrous.
Li Yuanjing promised Li Chengyou that he could go to the southern military camp for training. But Li Chengyou was stubborn and only wanted to go to Liangzhou.
The father and son were in a stalemate for more than half a year, but there was no result.
Li Chengyou went to ask the Queen Mother for help again. The Queen Mother has always loved her grandson and was worried that Li Chengyou would suffer outside, so she firmly disagreed.
As for Shen Wei, she didn't want to get involved in the dispute between father and son, so she hid herself beautifully.
Time did not erase Li Chengyou's thoughts, and the seed of yearning for Liangzhou sprouted and grew in his heart. So Li Chengyou ran to Chen Wei for help again. He felt that his father always listened to his mother. As long as his mother spoke, maybe his father would agree!
In the waterside pavilion, Chen Wei took a sip of the fragrant lotus leaf tea and glanced at her son's dark face: "The southern army is very good. Your father also served in the southern army and benefited a lot from it."
Li Chengyou shook his head and said firmly: "No, I want to go to Liangzhou!"
Shen Wei: ...
I don't know who he inherited this stubborn temper from.
Shen Wei missed the past few years very much - when the children were young, cute, obedient and sensible. As they grew older, the children became like wild horses that could not be contained by the palace walls and always wanted to run outside.
Leyou sneaked out of the palace every now and then, Chengtai went to the Ministry of Justice every day to look through files, and Chengyou always clamored to go to Liangzhou.
Why--
Shen Wei was tired.
Chen Wei motioned for Li Chengyou to sit down nearby. She said with a pleasant face, "Liangzhou is far away, and the material resources are scarce. Life in the army is extremely hard. You have been pampered in the palace, so how can you endure the hardship in Liangzhou?"
Li Chengyou straightened his chest and raised his neck: "As a man, a little hardship is nothing! Mother, you have taught me before that only those who endure the most hardships can become the best!"
After a pause, Li Chengyou lowered his head silently again and whispered to Shen Wei: "Mother, I want to leave the palace, not only because I yearn for Liangzhou, but also because I want to stay away from the court."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the next emperor of Qing will be chosen between Lee Seung-tae and Lee Seung-woo.
If you ask yourself honestly, Lee Seung-woo also wanted to be a majestic emperor.
But he knew that his brother was more suitable than him.
Li Chengyou has admired his brother since he was a child and does not want to be alienated from his brother and cause the tragedy of brothers fighting. Being in the royal family, brothers should support each other and protect the people. How can they become separated because of fighting for the throne?
Lee Seung-woo chose to withdraw.
But there is always a group of ministers with ulterior motives in the court who want to divide the relationship between Li Chengtai and Li Chengyou. When Li Chengyou occasionally went out of the palace to play, he would always encounter ministers who wanted to support him to the throne and come to surrender. Their faces were disgusting.
The so-called surrender is not sincere. It is more about letting Lee Seung-tae and Lee Seung-woo fight each other so that the fisherman hiding in the dark can benefit.
After much deliberation, Li Chengyou decided to stay away from Yanjing City and go to the distant Liangzhou City for training, thus completely eliminating the evil thoughts of some officials in the court.
Li Chengyou grabbed Shen Wei's sleeve and begged Shen Wei: "Mother, please help me."
Shen Wei sighed inwardly.
People outside say that the Ninth Prince is honest and simple-minded, with a straightforward personality, and not as smart as the Eighth Prince. In fact, Shen Wei knew very well that her youngest son was not simple-minded, but rather wise in appearance.
She touched the child's hair, and Li Chengyou lowered his head obediently, like a well-behaved little wolfhound.
Shen Wei said gently: "The Queen Mother can persuade your father to let you go to Liangzhou."
Li Chengyou raised his head in surprise, his dark eyes shining: "Really?"
Lee Seung Woo was very happy.
As long as the Queen Mother starts to persuade the Emperor, there is a high chance that the Emperor will agree!
Over the years, everyone in the court and the country knew that the emperor and empress were deeply in love. If Shen Wei wanted the stars in the sky, the emperor would get them down for her.
Shen Wei told him earnestly: "You go to Liangzhou as a prince, everyone is afraid of you, everyone deliberately gives in to you, and it is difficult to make progress. If you really want to gain experience, then go to Liangzhou incognito and start as a soldier."
The flowers in the greenhouse are too delicate. Flowers bloom in the mountains and fields, and become more resilient after enduring wind and rain.
Li Chengyou grinned, revealing eight white teeth: "Okay! I promise my mother! I will start as a soldier and follow my uncle to defend our country!"
After getting Shen Wei's promise, Li Chengyou said goodbye happily and went to the training ground to practice martial arts.
In the pavilion, Shen Wei tasted lotus leaf tea and fell into deep thought.
There is someone in the court who wants to divide the brotherhood between Lee Seung-tae and Lee Seung-woo. Who is it?
...
...
When it got dark, Li Yuanjing returned to Yongning Palace in the moonlight.
The summer nights were hot and humid, so Chen Wei placed an ice jar in the room, so there were no mosquitoes in the bedroom, making it cool and comfortable.
Li Yuanjing lifted the pearl curtain and stepped into the bedroom. The palace lanterns in the hall were shining brightly, the light green bed curtains were drawn up, and Shen Wei, with her long hair draped over her shoulders, was leaning against the head of the bed reading a storybook.
As Li Yuanjing changed into his pajamas, he said to Shen Wei, "Leyou sneaked out of the palace again today and went hunting in Nanshan! He returned to the palace after dark, which is really ridiculous!"
Without even looking up, Shen Wei turned a page of the storybook and said perfunctorily, "The emperor confined her for two days, and she became obedient."
Li Yuanjing couldn't bear to restrain his daughter's feet.
But he pretended to scold her harshly several times, but Leyou didn't take it seriously. Leyou was the best at making adults happy. She cooked herself and made delicious "rabbit paste" with the wild rabbit she hunted, and handed it to Li Yuanjing with a smile.
The rabbit meat is delicious and my daughter is filial.
Li Yuanjing's anger disappeared completely.
His scolding of Le You was ineffective, and the Queen Mother was also partial to and doted on her granddaughter. Looking at the entire harem, only Chen Wei can control Le You.
Li Yuanjing came to complain to Shen Wei, hoping that Shen Wei could take care of her daughter.
