Li Qinghuan

Early the next morning, Song Li was woken up by his elder brother's order, sat up from the bed with difficulty, rubbed his eyes and sighed.While thinking about what kind of moth his elder brother was going to make, he washed and dressed, and after a while, he boarded the carriage in the palace with a human appearance.

Song Li tossed and turned last night and fell asleep very late, and his habit of getting up early for nothing made him drowsy on the way to the palace.

When the carriage returned to the palace, Ji Songli had already fallen asleep, and the eunuch who came to summon him did not dare to disturb him, so he had to go back to Panlong Hall to ask Song Duan for instructions.

Song Duan was quite indulgent towards this younger brother who grew up with him since he was a child. After listening to it, he just smiled helplessly and put down the memorial in his hand: "Forget it, I'll go and have a look."

Song Duan walked to the carriage in person, stretched out a hand to lift the curtain, and the eunuch next to him hurried over and hung the curtain with a wooden hook.

Song Duan bent down and got into the carriage, looking at Song Li who was still soundly asleep, Song Duan raised the corners of his lips slightly, stretched out his hand and pinched his nose.Then he watched his younger brother wake up with a smile, and then slowly opened his eyes.

Song Li's eyes were clear and bright, and when he just woke up, there was still a kind of wet mist. Song Duan was inexplicably disturbed by Song Duan's guilty conscience in Song Li's confused eyes, so he quickly let go of Song Li's nose and withdrew carriage.

Song Duan put away his smile, cleared his throat, and asked through the curtain: "It's time to wake up, did you become a thief last night? Why are you so sleepy? I just shook you to sleep after such a short journey."

Song Li was still in a daze, squinting his eyes and thinking about who woke him up, the anger between his brows dissipated before it gathered up, he jumped out of the carriage after realizing it, and hurriedly said Song Duan saluted: "Brother Huang, forgive me."

Song Duan: "Yes."

Seeing his expressionless face, Song Li immediately changed his words with a smile: "Brother, I was wrong, don't punish me."

Song Duan nodded in satisfaction, and patted Song Li's forehead: "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Problem? Oh...oh!" Song Li scratched his forehead, rather embarrassed, "...It's not like my elder brother doesn't know."

Song Duan: "...Forget it, let's go in and talk."

Song Li frantically followed Song Duan into the Panlong Hall. After sitting down, Song Duan looked at Song Li who was still yawning, and said seriously, "Ah Li."

Song Li looked at his elder brother's expression, quickly put away his indecent look, and said, "Yes."

Song Duan picked up the teacup, lowered his head and blew the foam on the water surface: "Ah Li...I called you here today because I want to discuss something with you."

Song Li: "Brother, please tell me."

Song Duan nodded: "Then I won't make rounds. You see, you are not young anymore, and your title has been sealed for a long time. When do you plan to go to court to listen to politics?"

Song Lixi descended from the sky, he couldn't hide his emotions for a moment, and said pleasantly: "Go to the court to listen to the government? Can I go to the court to listen to the government?"

Song Duan frowned slightly, with an unnatural expression, and said: "My mother mentioned it to me a few days ago, and I thought it was the same. What about you? What do you think?"

Song Li didn't notice his strangeness, and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, when can we start? Where's the second brother? Can he listen? Why did the mother suddenly ask me to listen to the government?"

Song Duan's expression flickered: "You ask so many questions, which one do you want me to answer?"

Song Li scratched his head: "Eh... the emperor's atonement, I am in a hurry."

"What are you in a hurry for?" Song Duan raised his head and exposed his jaw, half-closed his eyes.

Song Li was full of joy at this time, so he didn't pay attention to his elder brother, so naturally he didn't see the vague dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Song Li scratched his head: "Then... when will the elder brother think it's good?"

Song Duan put down the teacup: "You are 17 years old now, let's wait until your 27th birthday in the twelfth lunar month is over."

"Okay, big brother can do whatever he wants." Song Li paused, "What about the second brother?"

"Your second brother mentioned it to him when I came to the throne. He didn't want to. He said that he just wanted to be an idle prince who raises flowers and plays birds. He has no interest in political affairs."

Song Li looked at Song Duan, always feeling that there was a trace of imperceptible satisfaction in his eyes when he said this.

Song Li nodded, and suddenly thought of the sentence Ji Qing said, "In the eyes of the king, the most important thing is never family affection."

There was nothing to say for a while, and there was a moment of silence in Panlong Hall.

Song Li stared at the teacup in a daze, suddenly remembered Ji Qing's invitation yesterday, and said, "Brother, let's discuss something with you, I... want to go to Jiangnan in a few days."

It is rare to enter the palace, so I will discuss this matter with my elder brother by the way.

Song Duan didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this, and asked, "Go to Jiangnan? What are you doing in Jiangnan?"

Song Li adjusted his expression, pursed his mouth, and said aggrievedly: "I'm going to go to the court to listen to the government? Why don't you play more while you're free?"

Song Duan nodded: "yes, if you want to go, go, I will send a team of imperial guards to go with you..."

Upon hearing this, Song Li immediately regretted it, and said that he would not have told Song Duan if he had known about it.

"No." Song Li regretted it at this time, and interrupted Song Duan bravely, "I'll go with my friends."

Song Duan: "Liu Zijian and Li Zhuxuan? I don't worry about going with them."

Song Li shook his head: "No."

Song Duan: "Oh? Who else could it be?"

Song Li waved his hand and said casually, "New friend, Brother Huang doesn't know me."

Song Duan frowned: "I don't even know each other, how dare I let you go?"

Song Li thought for a while, then slowly moved to Song Duan's side, grabbed his sleeve, and shook it: "Brother Huang—you just let me go."

Song Duan ignored his pitiful expression and tapped his fingers on the table: "Don't go."

Song Li's eyes became more and more innocent, and he used his nirvana: "Brother Huang—Big Brother—my dear brother, just let me go. I will keep it private, no one will know, it's not dangerous, let's talk about big brother Now that Wei is in your hands, it is very peaceful, so how could he encounter any danger?"

It has to be said that Song Li handles Song Duan very well, and the last sentence really touched Song Duan's heart.

Song Li stared at Song Duan eagerly, his eyes were almost filled with water, Song Duan really couldn't do anything with him, after pondering for a moment, he compromised, and said: "It's okay to go, at least ten people."

Song Li said with a sad face: "Can I not take it?"

Song Duan glanced at him: "What do you think?"

Song Li gave in: "Five people."

Song Duan: "..."

Song Li: "Okay... ten people is ten people, can I bring the generals of the palace?"

Song Duan picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said firmly, "No."

Song Li: "Big—brother—"

Song Duan stared at him: "don't bargain with me, I didn't discuss it with you. I don't ask who you go with and how you go, but I have to ensure your safety. When you go out, there are always more people around you to protect you. Incorrect."

Song Li sighed: "Alas... can I have a little freedom..."

Song Duan put down the teacup heavily: "...Aren't you free enough on weekdays?"

Song Li retorted softly: "No matter how free I am on weekdays, I have never been to Jiangnan."

Song Duan patted the table and said angrily: "Is it because I have indulged you too much? You don't know what is good or bad."

Song Li was startled and shuddered, and quickly knelt down.

Song Duan continued: "As the prince of Wei, it's fine if you don't do business, and you can get into trouble with me everywhere, even in Yudu. Do you still want to throw the face of the royal family to the south of the Yangtze River? I sent people to follow you for Thinking about your safety, if something happens to you, how will I explain it to the queen mother?"

The implication is that sending someone to watch you is not only for your safety, but also because you are afraid that you will cause trouble outside, and if you get into trouble, someone can clean up the mess for you.

Song Li knew that his elder brother was being serious, so he lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "Brother Emperor, I know I was wrong, so don't be angry. Just send as many people as you want." Glance at Song Duan.

Song Duan couldn't hold back when he saw him like this, coughed dryly and suppressed his smile: "Stop kneeling, get up, not many, ten people."

Song Li got up, patted the dust on his robe, and said, "Yes."

Song Duan took a sip of the cool tea, and ordered to the little eunuch next to him: "Go and call Qi Zheng here."

Seeing that his elder brother had calmed down, Song Li went up to scold him without knowing what to do: "Brother, do you want Qi Zheng to come with me? Can you change it? Qi Zheng is like a piece of wood, so boring."

When Song Duan heard Song Li describe Qi Zheng in such a way, he almost spit out a sip of herbal tea. Song Duan slowed down for a moment, managed to maintain his majesty as the emperor, and said, "How can you say that about others? Mr. Zhao usually taught you Where did you forget the etiquette?"

Song Li waved his hand: "Don't do Mr. Zhao's business, he can't control me, Brother Huang knows."

Song Duan: "Are you still proud? Although Qi Zheng is dull, he is also steady, and he is about the same age as you. It is perfect for him to go with you."

Song Li nodded: "Okay, okay. Listen to Brother Huang's arrangement."

After speaking, the little eunuch returned to Panlong Palace, followed by a thin young man——Qi Zheng.

Qi Zheng is the son of Qi Xiaoyuan, the commander of the imperial guards. His personality and appearance are exactly the same as his father's.

Qi Zheng walked into the Panlong Hall with his head down, and knelt down on one knee: "I have seen His Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yu."

Song Duan raised his hand: "Excuse me, I have something I want you to do."

Qi Zheng: "Your Majesty, please give me instructions."

Song Duan glanced at Song Li: "King Yu wants to go to the south of the Yangtze River, and I sent you to go with him, what do you think?"

Qi Zheng was still expressionless, but the slightly twitched brows revealed his helplessness, it was okay to be with Song Li, why not clean up the mess for him along the way?

Song Li stood next to Song Duan with his arms folded, looked at him quite amusingly, and said jokingly, "What's the matter? It's only been a few days since we've seen each other and you've become so familiar? Did you feel wronged by following my king's food and drink? Jiangnan is so beautiful. Ah, take you to see the world."

Qi Zheng shook his head: "Wei... I dare not."

Song Li wanted to speak again but was interrupted by Song Duan who couldn't bear to see it: "A Li, you are almost done, don't bully others, Qi Zheng, do you have any objections?"

Qi Zheng: "I don't dare."

Song Duan raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you dare?"

Qi Zheng was stunned for a moment: "I obey."

Song Duan: "A Li, you step back first, I have something to explain to Qi Zheng."

Song Li didn't want to stay any longer, so he cupped his hands coolly: "Your brother will leave."

……

After Song Li came out of the Panlong Palace, he first strolled to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to meet his mother, and then went to Song Duan's stable, got on a horse and rode out of the palace.

After leaving the palace, Song Li was like a wild horse that had run loose, feeling free in an instant.

In the early morning, Jianchang Avenue is bustling and bustling, and it looks peaceful, with Haiyan and rivers clear.Even temporary peace is enough to indulge in it.

Song Li took a deep breath and sniffed the fireworks in this world, but he didn't stay too long, but rode straight to Liu Zijian's house.

Song Li entered Liu's mansion, Master Liu was not at home as usual, Song Li didn't care, he went into the side yard familiarly, and got into Liu Zijian's hut, Liu Zijian was still sound asleep as usual.

Song Li walked to his bed, and tore off Liu Zijian's quilt, and Liu Zijian's sleeping posture stretched all over was displayed in front of Song Li's eyes.

Song Li stretched out his hand expressionlessly, imitating his elder brother, and pinched Liu Zijian's nose, suffocating him awake.

As soon as Liu Zijian opened his eyes, he saw Song Li standing beside the bed like a king of Hades, staring straight at him.It was a hot day for Liu Zijian, and he broke out in a cold sweat from the shock.Just as he was about to grab his quilt, he slowly realized that more than half of the quilt that was supposed to be on his body ran to the ground inexplicably.The culprit, Song Li, was still holding a corner of the quilt in his hand.

Seeing this, Liu Zijian said angrily, "What do you want to do to me this early in the morning?"

Song Li raised his eyebrows, threw the quilt away, and patted the non-existent dust on his hands: "Liu Zijian, you've grown up, how dare you yell at me?"

Liu Zijian took a deep breath, and said silently three times that he is the prince, he is the prince, he is the prince...

"Dare to ask what the lord wants me for?" Liu Zijian forced a smile on his face.

Song Li sat down on the chair and raised his legs: "I'm here to ask you for help."

Liu Zijian couldn't bear it anymore, his rationality disappeared in an instant, and he cursed: "You bastard, is this your attitude of asking for help?"

Song Li, the bastard, looked at his snarl, and asked calmly: "It's business, can you help? It's good."

Liu Zijian rubbed his face, then raised his head to look at the old man's face, confirmed that he couldn't beat him, and admitted: "What's the matter?"

Song Li: "Qi Zheng, do you know him?"

Liu Zijian stretched out his hand to pull up the quilt, covered himself, and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? You bullied people a lot when you were young, can you not recognize them?"

Song Li was so mean, he couldn't stay idle, he reached out to grab the corner of the quilt, and pulled it off Liu Zijian's body: "Just know him, help me get rid of him."

Liu Zijian grabbed the quilt aggrievedly: "How can I fix it? Why did people offend you? Let's talk about it first, I won't do murder and arson."

Song Li let go of the quilt: "Who wants you to kill and set fire? You think too much. I'm going to Jiangnan next month. Brother Huang asked him to follow me."

Liu Zijian came alive: "Jiangnan? Why are you going to Jiangnan? Your brother sent you there?"

Song Li shook his head: "No, I'll go with Ji Qing, accompany him to run errands, and play along the way."

Liu Zijian pursed his lips: "No wonder your imperial brother wants to send a small old man to follow you. Heh - no, did you tell your imperial brother that you are with Ji Qing? When did you and Ji Qing become so familiar?"

Song Li glanced at Liu Zijian: "Which one do you want me to answer first? It's a long story. Put your clothes on first, and I'll talk to you slowly."
