Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Du He nodded and said, "Please lead the way, Eunuch Wang."

He was very familiar with the location of Ganlu Temple and said this only out of politeness.

Under the leadership of Wang De, the two men had no obstacles and soon arrived at Ganlu Palace.

"Knock knock knock."

Wang De knocked on the door of Ganlu Palace and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty, the Royal Highness Du He has arrived."

Li Shimin's powerful voice soon came from the hall.

"come in."

Wang De pushed open the door and made a gesture to Du He to invite him in. After Du He walked in, he was considerate enough to close the door.

Inside the Manna Hall.

Li Shimin stood in front of the screen with his hands behind his back, staring blankly at the words on the screen, his thoughts lost in deep recollections.

Du He knew that there were words written by Empress Changsun on the screen, which contained the names of several legitimate sons and daughters.

Perhaps the fact that Li Yi was pregnant triggered his longing for Empress Changsun.

Du He didn't say anything, just stood there quietly waiting.

After a while, Li Shimin came back to his senses and said with a kind look on his face.

"Du He, take me to see Yi'er."

At this moment, Li Shimin did not have the majestic demeanor of an emperor. He was just like an ordinary old father who cared about his children.

"It's Father."

Du He answered in the capacity of a royal consort.

Princess Chengyang's Mansion.

In the spacious lobby.

Li Shimin sat at the first seat in the hall, looking at Li Yi below him with a smile on his face, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were revealed with laughter.

"Before I knew it, the little crybaby who used to wet the bed has grown up and is now going to be a mother."

Li Yi blushed: "Father, I never wet the bed..."

Her husband is still here, and her father keeps telling her about her embarrassing childhood experiences. It's so annoying.

"Hahaha."

Li Shimin laughed heartily and continued to give instructions.

"Yier, you should take good care of yourself during this period and learn more about being a mother."

"Du He is a jerk, so don't count on him. If you have any problems, you can always go to the palace to find your father."

Hearing these words that belittled him, a row of black lines appeared on Du He's forehead and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

If you can't comfort people, just don't say anything.

Wouldn't this affect the harmony of their marital relationship?

It is really tiring to have a father-in-law who loves to sow discord.

Li Yi glanced at Du He with her beautiful eyes. Seeing her husband's frustrated look, she couldn't help but pull up a smile.

"Father, my husband is very reliable and takes good care of our daughter."

"Look, my daughter has gained a lot of weight now."

Li Yi was afraid that his father would not believe him, so he stood up and slowly turned around twice.

Li Shimin quickly walked up and supported her: "Okay, okay, father knows, sit down quickly, you are still pregnant."

"Father, I just got pregnant. Imperial Physician Xiao said that I should exercise more to be good for my health."

Li Yi was helped back to his chair by his father, and he said with a frown and a pouty tone.

The emperor is even more out of control than my husband. He gets extremely nervous when she makes any big movements.

Li Shimin turned to look at Du He and said approvingly: "Although you are a bit of a jerk, you take good care of Yi'er. I hope you can keep up the good work."

"I will reward you with a thousand strings of gold and silver, and a hundred antique paintings and calligraphy."

This reward was a disguised way of making up for Du He's punishment for riding a horse. After all, the premise of his mistake was that he cared about his daughter.

Of course, the reward was so high because of Li Yi's face.

Du He quickly bowed his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the father and daughter chatted about family matters for a while, Li Shimin reluctantly returned to the palace.

He is the king of a country and has to deal with countless government affairs every day.

Not long after, people from the palace came with a large amount of property and supplements.

Du He looked at the pile of gold, silver and other valuables in front of him and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

Help from a noble person is not as good as support from father-in-law, and support from father-in-law is not as good as care from a rich woman.

The ancients do not deceive me!

With Li Yi as a cash cow, it is hard to live a hard life.

After Du He counted the gold, silver and other valuables and put them into the warehouse, he prepared to go to the Secretariat to do some work.

As soon as I walked out of the gate of the princess's mansion, I ran into Li Chengqian's family.

Behind them, Xi Junmai and Qin Huaidao, two men as strong as iron towers, were guarding them with a group of Eastern Palace Qianniu Guards.

Behind them were several large carts of supplements.

"I have met His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess."

Du He quickly bowed to them.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "I came here this time to see my second sister. The Crown Princess also brought some supplements to help my second sister replenish her body."

One is his most trusted supporter, and the other is his second sister. He has to come over no matter what.

Du He made a gesture of invitation: "Your Highness, Crown Prince, Crown Princess, please come in."

After Li Chengqian and his family entered, Du He greeted Qin Huaidao warmly.

"Huai Dao, how does it feel to wear this Donggong Qianniu robe and hold the Qianniu sword?"

Qin Huaidao shook his head slightly: "Brother Du, although this robe and Qianniu Sword are good, they are not domineering enough."

"If I could be like my father, wearing heavy armor and holding a golden spear with a tiger head, I would be so majestic."

Du He couldn't help but look at Qin Huaidao with higher regard.

Although this boy is young, his speaking level is very high.

In just two sentences, he reveals his ambition to become a general, but without making people feel that he is overambitious.

Du He patted his shoulder and said, "Huai Dao, if you stay with the prince, you will definitely get everything you want."

"Usually in the East Palace, you can practice martial arts with the East Palace Qianniu and Xi Junmai. His ability is extraordinary."

Qin Huaidao had a somewhat embarrassed look on his face. He looked at Xi Junmai with admiration and said in a low voice.

"Brother Du, when I went to the East Palace to report this morning, I had a competition with General Xi, but I didn't expect that I couldn't hold out for a hundred moves..."

"I will definitely practice martial arts with General Xi in the future!"

At first, Qin Huaidao thought that his martial arts skills were enough to get him anywhere in the East Palace, but he didn't expect to be defeated by his department boss in a few moves.

He even felt that Xi Junmai did not use his full strength.

Xi Junmai said quickly: "Duke Hu, you are so good at martial arts at such a young age. I will definitely not be as good as you if I grow up a few more years."

"I just took advantage of being a few years older."

Xi Junmai was not being modest. He was 29 years old and at the peak of his martial arts skills, while Qin Huaidao still had a lot of room for improvement.

It is not impossible that my martial arts skills will surpass his in the future.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Du He took them into the princess's mansion.

When I walked outside the lobby, I heard Li Chengqian's jealous voice and Li Yi's happy laughter coming from inside.

"Second sister, the emperor dotes on you too much. He gave you so much gold and silver as a reward right after you got pregnant, and also brought several carts of supplements."

"If we wait until the child is born, won't the reward from the emperor be even greater?"

Li Chengqian learned from Li Yi that his father had just visited and rewarded him with a large amount of gold, silver, calligraphy and paintings. His face was full of envy.

"Brother, the emperor rewarded my husband, not me."

"Second sister, Du He told me that all his money is in your custody. Isn't his money your money?"

"Hey, I'm my husband's housekeeper."

Li Yi raised her little face, showing her pride.

They have a very good relationship as siblings, and their conversations with each other are casual and harmonious.

Du He walked in with a smile, without saying a word, and sat quietly by the side listening to the brother and sister reminiscing and chatting.

The brother and sister had a great time chatting and before they knew it, it was already noon.

"Your Highness, Crown Prince, Crown Princess, please stay for lunch before leaving."

"Okay, I won't be polite with you."

In this way, Li Chengqian and his family stayed.

"Du He, call Qin Huaidao and Xi Junmai in for dinner as well."

"The prince is wise."

Du He nodded, then went out to call them both in.

Winning people's hearts seems to be a natural ability of the royal family. A small gesture of theirs can make their subordinates excited.

When Du He saw Qin Huaidao and Xi Junmai's eyes were red with excitement, he knew that they had been conquered by Li Chengqian's personal charm.
