Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

"No problem." Li Chengqian nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Whether it was the so-called favor or dressing like the Turks, he did it deliberately to irritate his father.

Whenever he saw his father getting furious about this, he would feel a sense of revenge in his heart.

As he walked further and further down the road of no return, Li Chengqian slowly realized that he seemed to have deviated from the track.

When you want to turn back, it's already too late.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was so receptive to advice, Du He breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"Your Highness, I know that the teachers sent by His Majesty are annoying, but just nod and agree with whatever they say. Don't argue with them."

"Because their feedback to His Majesty carries a lot of weight. If they say something bad, it will be detrimental to you."

"In order to smoothly inherit the throne, you have to endure some grievances during this period of time."

Since Li Chengqian's rebellion, Li Shimin has selected more than ten veteran and famous ministers to serve as assistant ministers in the Eastern Palace, such as Yu Zhining, Kong Yingda, Li Baiyao, Zhang Xuansu and Du Zhenglun.

This group of ministers of remonstration were not only upright, but also intended to find fault with Li Chengqian.

The more faults they found in Li Chengqian, the more their role would be highlighted, and the more rewards Li Shimin would give them.

In this involutionary environment, these teachers were extremely demanding of Li Chengqian.

It is no exaggeration to say that they had to make a report every two days, which put Li Chengqian under heavy mental pressure.

A review of the admonitions of Yu Zhining, Kong Yingda and Zhang Xuansu reveals a common point: these three people almost competed in submitting memorials, and their wordings were more fierce and sharper than the last.

So although Li Chengqian appeared obedient on the surface, he became more and more rebellious in his heart.

In addition, after Li Chengqian suffered from a leg disease, he walked with a limp and his former heroic image was no longer there, which made him begin to feel inferior.

Now Li Shimin highly values Li Tai and his rewards have reached the level of crown prince, which makes Li Chengqian feel strongly threatened.

When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent. Under all kinds of oppression, it is remarkable that Li Chengqian did not become a complete cripple.

"Du He, I will do my best."

This time Li Chengqian did not answer decisively.

Thinking of these teachers who had strayed from the essence of education, a look of disgust appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will help you achieve merit and let His Majesty see your ability."

"As long as Your Majesty changes his attitude, the advantage will return to our side."

Du He could understand Li Chengqian's complicated mood, so she didn't dwell on it, but gave him a shot of confidence.

If the prince's teacher said this, it would definitely have no effect.

But when Du He said it, Li Chengqian felt very convinced.

Or maybe this is the case that only words between people of the same kind can influence people of the same kind.

"Du He, I believe you."

"Don't worry, when I ascend the throne, I will definitely grant you the highest authority."

"More prominent than the Duke of Lai!"

This was the third time in one day that Li Chengqian made big promises to Du He.

You know what, even though we can’t eat these pancakes, they sound really good.

Next, Du He analyzed the current situation for Li Chengqian, pointed out the potential threats, and planned to make changes step by step.

We barely finished the conversation until just before curfew.

Before leaving, Du He said to him with a serious expression: "Your Highness, Xi Junmai is a fierce general and is loyal to you. You must make use of him."

"Du He, I understand. From now on, I will begin to cultivate my own core members in the army." Li Chengqian nodded.

Children can be taught.

During his communication with Li Chengqian, he found that the prince was very obedient to his opinions.

Only people like this have a chance to be saved.

If Li Chengqian was like Li Yuanchang, the King of Han, arrogant and self-willed, he would have left the camp without saying a word and protected himself.

Before Du He left the East Palace, he went to see Xi Junmai on purpose.

While the two were talking, they asked the guards to clear away the people nearby.

"Jun Mai, you completed the task very well this time. The prince is very satisfied."

"It all depends on the opportunity given by the Prince Consort."

Du Hegao raised his hand, patted Xi Junmai's broad and strong shoulders, and said with a smile.

"The prisoner was killed. I'm afraid the court will question you in the next two days. Don't be afraid."

"No matter what they ask, just say you lost your grip in a hurry to protect me."

"The Crown Prince will make arrangements in the next few days to promote you to the position of Left Guard of the Eastern Palace."

The people below do the work at risk, and then throw it aside when it is no longer useful.

The promises made must be fulfilled as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, my Lord, I will keep my mouth shut."

"Thank you, Prince Consort, for your promotion. I am willing to serve you loyally!"

Xi Junmai nodded solemnly, and an excited expression appeared on his face.

...

Princess Chengyang's Mansion.

After Du He came back, Li Yi's personal maid Linglong was still waiting in the lobby.

"My Lord, the princess is waiting for you in the master bedroom. I have specially arranged for you to take a bath." Linglong said respectfully.

Assisting the prince consort in bathing should have been the job of other servants.

But the princess was afraid that her husband would lose control and do something wrong, so she sent someone to do it herself.

After all, as a maidservant who came with Princess Chengyang, she had to sleep with her husband when the princess had her period, so she was considered an unofficial concubine.

"Thank you." Du He nodded and did not refuse.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. He also wanted to see how comfortable the lives of officials in ancient times were.

"Please come this way, my Lord."

Under Linglong's guidance, Du He followed her into a private room.

In the center of the room, there was a large round wooden barrel filled with half a bucket of water, with bright red rose petals floating on the water.

"My Lord, I will change your clothes for you."

After Linglong finished speaking, her little face flushed as she was about to untie the belt of her official robe.

She was usually responsible for washing, bathing and changing clothes for Li Yi, but now it was the turn of the hot-blooded prince consort. Her delicate hands trembled uncontrollably because of nervousness.

"Stop, stop, stop."

"Linglong, turn around first. I can do it myself. I'll call you after I jump into the bathtub."

Du He couldn't help but call a halt.

His heart began to beat violently, even more excited than when he first traveled through time and knew he was about to be beheaded.

Hey ~

After living in hardship for so long, I am not used to being served by others.

You are not destined to enjoy that life!

In his previous life, he was an old otaku, chatting and bragging with his friends, telling all kinds of jokes, and speaking in an orderly manner, like a skilled old driver.

But in fact, he is just a talkative person.

He brags the loudest, but he's actually still a pure old virgin.

Now he is being bathed by a graceful and stunning young girl.

How could he possibly resist?

It's totally unstoppable!

Although he tried his best to suppress it, random thoughts still popped up in his mind.

"That's okay!"

Linglong quickly stopped what she was doing and took a few steps back.

Call ~

She exhaled heavily.

Linglong, like the princess, has lived in the deep palace for many years. She is a young girl who has not experienced much of the world, is simple-minded and thin-skinned.

"The prince consort is not as bad as the rumors say. He is quite considerate."

"It seems that rumors cannot be fully believed."

Linglong murmured in her heart.

When I was chatting with the sisters in the palace in the past, I often heard them belittling the prince consort, describing him as a playboy who did all kinds of evil.

She didn't believe it at first, but since everyone said so, she gradually began to believe it.

But through the contact just now, she found that the prince consort was actually a good man.

Linglong looked at the elegant and handsome Du He, and her favorability towards him increased a lot.

"My Lord, I've turned around."

Linglong turned around and said softly.

Du He also moved quickly. He undressed and quickly jumped into the barrel.

"Plop~"

The flying water splashed onto the exquisite silk clothes, wetting a corner of the clothes.

“Ah~”

Linglong, who was daydreaming, screamed out in surprise. She was startled by the sound of someone falling into the water.
