Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Du He knew what the impatient Xiao Kai was going to do, so he quickly called out to Xiao Yue to stop him.

"Xiao Yue, please stay!"

"Brother Xiao and I are close friends, there is no need for these empty formalities."

After Du He finished speaking, he clasped his fists towards the brothers Xiao Rui and Xiao Yue, then walked out of the Duke of Song's Mansion with a smile on his face.

Xiao Kai is really a fool with good fortune. Not only did he take in 9 concubines for nothing, but now his wife's attitude towards him has also changed dramatically.

If Sun Simiao could heal his body, maybe he would be able to give birth to a child soon.

Outside the residence of Duke Song.

Feng Shijin and several other guards were chatting in front of the carriage. In front of them were three small tables with empty bowls on them.

There are too many guests to be received by the Xiao Mansion today, so the guards brought by the guests are all staying outside the gate.

However, the people in the Xiao family were quite generous and prepared sumptuous meals for them.

When the guards saw Du He coming out, they pulled the carriage over and went to guard him with solemn faces.

Du He waved his hand and said, "Go back to the princess's mansion."

"promise!"

The guards responded, escorted Du He to the carriage, and rushed towards Princess Chengyang's Mansion.

Princess Chengyang's Mansion was built in Chongrenfang, one of the inner city blocks of Chang'an's outer city. The block was adjacent to Jingfengmen of the imperial city and was separated from the imperial city by only a wall.

In addition, Chang'an's most prosperous Pingkangfang and Dongshi also border Chongrenfang.

Therefore, Chongrenfang was the preferred place for many important officials and princesses of the Tang Dynasty to live.

The residences of Duke of Zhao Zhangsun Wuji and Princess Changle were also located in Chongrenfang.

...

Princess Chengyang's Mansion.

In the lobby.

Li Yi and Crown Princess Su Wan were chatting and laughing, while Crown Prince Li Jue was taking Du Ping'an to practice crawling on a blanket.

Moreover, Li Jue was a fool, trying to trick Du Ping'an into crawling out of the cold wooden floor.

"Cousin, quickly crawl towards your cousin."

Du Ping'an lay motionless on the edge of the blanket, staring at Li Jue who was lying on the wooden floor with his big eyes, and did not crawl out with him.

Seeing that Du Ping'an was not fooled, Li Jue, whose palms were red from the cold, had no choice but to crawl back onto the blanket.

He said in frustration: "Cousin, how come you are so smart?"

"Knowing that the ground was cold and unwilling to crawl out, I stayed on the blanket to keep warm."

Just then, a speechless voice came from behind him.

"Li Jue, Du Ping'an is just young but not stupid."

"The floor is so cold, he would know it once he touches it. Do you still want him to learn from you and crawl out?"

Hearing Du He's voice, everyone in the hall immediately looked at him.

Du He clasped his fists and bowed to Su Wan: "Greetings to the Crown Princess."

"No need to be so polite, Prince Consort Du." Su Wan waved her hand.

She chuckled and said, "Yier was just nagging about why you hadn't come back so late today. I didn't expect you to come back right after she finished talking."

Before Du He could say anything, Li Jue, who was lying on the blanket and playing with Du Ping'an, jumped up and shouted loudly.

"Uncle, I was just talking about you. You have to make me a king's ox hoof."

As he spoke, saliva began to flow out of the corners of his mouth uncontrollably.

Du He glanced at Li Jue, then stretched out his hands and pinched his face, then explained to Li Yi and Su Wan.

"Xiao Kai is taking a concubine today and invited me to have a drink at the wedding."

Li Yi was surprised and asked, "Xiao Kai took another concubine?"

"Including the concubine he took in today, Xiao Kai should have taken in eight or nine concubines, right?"

During this period, Duke Song was like a madman, taking concubines one after another for Xiao Kai, which was considered a big deal in Chang'an City.

Not to mention these princes and nobles, even ordinary people knew that the Xiao family held wedding banquets every now and then.

Du He smiled and said, "Xiao Kai has not given birth to a child yet, and the Duke of Song is also worried."

"But now that Xiao Kai has taken in nine concubines, Duke Song should calm down."

Du He did not say anything about Xiao Yu's calculation that his time was up.

Li Yi raised her eyebrows and said, "My husband, are you envious of Xiao Kai for being able to take in so many concubines?"

Forehead...

Du He's expression was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Li Yi to ask this question.

Even Crown Princess Su Wan and Linglong looked over with wide eyes.

Du He shook his head and said, "Yier, I am a serious man, unlike Xiao Kai and other playboys."

"Besides, if I want to take a concubine, she must be at least 70% as pretty as you, Yi'er."

"But how many women in the world are half as pretty as you?"

Hearing Du He's strange words, Li Yi felt sweet in his heart, while Crown Princess Su Wan's eyes had a strange look.

Because Du He's words did not oppose the idea of taking a concubine, but he praised Li Yi in his words, so he was able to get away with it easily.

Li Jue, who was standing in front of Du He, saw several adults chattering endlessly, so he pulled Du He's hand and shouted.

"Uncle, please help me make the Overlord Beef Hoof. I'm almost starving now."

"I just played with my cousin for half an hour, and he scratched the corners of my mouth."

After Li Jue finished speaking, he pulled his lower lip to show Du He where he was scratched.

At noon, he learned from his mother that he was going to visit his aunt. He did not eat much for lunch, but was thinking about eating the Overlord Beef Hoof.

It was getting dark outside and he was already starving.

Li Yi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Husband, please take some time to make a bull hoof for Juer."

"He was the one who took Du Ping'an out to play this afternoon. This cow hoof is his reward."

On weekdays, when Du Ping'an is alone, he is too lazy to even turn over.

When playing with Li Jue, he not only rolled back and forth on the blanket, but also crawled around the blanket with Li Jue.

Du He smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Half an hour later.

Several steaming beef trotters and corresponding side dishes to relieve the greasiness were brought to the table for several people.

"Wow!"

Li Jue shouted with joy, then jumped to the table and sat down.

He looked at the fragrant and soft overlord ox hoof on the wooden plate, his saliva flowed uncontrollably, and he wanted to reach out and grab it.

Su Wan said in a deep voice: "Juer, the cow's hooves are still hot, go slowly and pay attention to your image!"

"You have forgotten all the etiquette and manners that your mother taught you these days, haven't you?"

Du He, who was carrying a few bowls of sauces, saw Su Wan scolding Li Jue with a stern face, and he shook his head slightly.

Children of the royal family were subject to many restrictions, especially for the crown prince like Li Jue, whose education in etiquette was extremely important.
