The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Being able to see and understand does not mean that studying in the East Palace every day is not tiring.

He took a riding and archery class in the afternoon, came back and rested for less than a quarter of an hour, and then sat there to read the approved memorials.

"Today is the Lantern Festival, there are no evening classes in the evening, and no need to study, just relax a little." Li Fu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's little face smiled again: "Uncle Wang is right, there will be delicious food tonight, a banquet in the palace, and performances."

"Wow, you are so young, can you understand those performances?" Li Fu said: "Even what Uncle Wang saw was...very superficial."

So superficial...all beauties.

"Anyway, this kind of banquet is nothing more than watching the excitement and the scene. Normally, there will not be such a big scene in the palace. Even if you go to Aong's Da'an Palace and have musicians playing music, it is a small scene, not as grand as the banquet in the palace." Li Chengqian said.

"Hehe, you are still young." Li Fu said with a smile: "However, you can't just eat and drink tonight, you have to help Uncle Wang with something, and you may even have to bring Qingque and Lizhi to do this together."

Li Chengqian was immediately interested when he heard it.

"Uncle Wang, please tell me, I will definitely do it for you." Li Chengqian patted his chest very generously and assured Li Fu.

"That's right, Uncle Wang wants to confirm the identity of a person." Li Fu said: "It's the one we talked about before, your uncle Wang, my lifesaver..."

Li Fu and Li Chengqian sat on the steps in the East Palace Hall with their arms around each other, and Li Fu told Li Chengqian what Li Chengqian was going to do tonight.

After listening to this, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, don't worry. I'll take care of this. I'll tell Qingque and Lizhi when the time comes. I promise to confirm your guess. If the lady from the Li family is your savior, it's really the best."

"Chengqian, you have to be more reliable." Li Fu repeatedly warned, "Test her after confirming her identity. Don't make a mistake."

Li Chengqian said, "Don't worry. Even if you don't believe me, what about the three of us brothers and sisters? In the end, we have our mother to back us up. Uncle Wang, you must have told her about this."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Fu confidently, with a proud expression on his face that said, "I've seen through you."

"How did you know?" Li Fu asked.

"Needless to say? When has such a grand Lantern Festival dinner been held in the inner court?" Li Chengqian said with a smile, "When Grandfather was in power, there was no grand banquet in the inner court. Grandfather entertained all the ministers in the court hall. Later, after Grandfather ascended the throne, he held one last year. It was only a small-scale banquet. It was nothing more than inviting the ladies of the noble families to a small gathering in the palace. The banquet was hosted by the Queen Mother, who only had about 20 people. This year, Qingque said that he saw the inner court started to prepare and decorate on the tenth day of the first lunar month. The scale was so grand that it was difficult to compare with the past."

"Grandfather advocates frugality, and the Queen Mother is even more so. Suddenly, they want to hold such a banquet. Anyone who sees it will find it strange, right?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"And more." Li Chengqian talked nonstop: "When my mother and I went to Da'an Palace to see Grandpa, Grandpa said that he was very concerned about Uncle Wang's marriage."

"A few days ago, Uncle Wang got married again." Li Chengqian said: "My mother and Grandpa said that after the wedding, Uncle Wang can get married."

After saying that, Li Chengqian raised his little face and looked at Li Fu with an expression of "Am I very smart, praise me quickly."

"You... are really smart." Li Fu smiled and gave Li Chengqian a thumbs up.

What else can I do, a child, praise a few words.

"So, if the lady of the Li family is really Uncle Wang's lifesaver, she can't run away." Li Chengqian said: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, the future aunt..."

Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Fu directly reached out and covered his mouth.

"What nonsense are you talking about, that's a lifesaver!" Li Fu emphasized.

This naughty kid, what nonsense is he talking about.

"Yes, yes, he is Uncle Wang's lifesaver. Uncle Wang just wants to repay his kindness. He has no bad intentions. Uncle Wang is pure." Li Chengqian curled his lips.

Humph, cunning adults are all dishonest.

Uncle Wang is also!!!

"Yes, yes, your Uncle Wang is pure!" Li Fu repeated: "So, remember?"

"Remember, remember." Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Then I will help Uncle Wang do this, and wait until after the Lantern Festival, when spring comes, right?Then....”

“What can I do?” Li Fu asked.

“Just like last summer, I will go to Uncle Wang’s manor and stay for a few days.” Li Chengqian said, “I want to go and relax.”

“No problem.” Li Fu agreed very straightforwardly.

This time, he was not afraid of delaying Li Chengqian’s studies at all.

Young prince, do you need this Dr. Lu or this Mr. Xiao?

Hehehehehehe~~~

“Okay, then we’ll make a deal!” Li Chengqian held out his little finger.

“It’s a deal!” Li Fu made a pinky promise with Li Chengqian, with a calm smile on his face.

After a while in the East Palace, the sky gradually darkened, and the eunuchs in the palace came to remind Li Chengqian that it was time to change clothes and go to the Taiji Hall.

Li Fu pulled Li Chengqian up.

“Then I’ll go over first and wait for you. "Li Fu said with a smile.

"Leave it to me, no problem!" Li Chengqian responded.

Li Fu patted his butt, tidied his clothes, left the East Palace, and walked towards the Taiji Hall.

At this time, there were also many courtiers going to the Taiji Hall. Along the way, everyone greeted each other and then walked together.

Li Fu saw Wei Zheng not far away.

Take a few quick steps and walk beside Wei Zheng.

"Doctor Wei, I heard that you made His Majesty very angry two days ago." Li Fu said with a smile.

"I just did what a censor should do, giving honest advice." Wei Zheng responded with a serious face.

"Yes, this is your duty." Li Fu said: "Thanks to our Majesty's big heart, I was behind you and almost got into trouble."

"What do you mean?" Wei Zheng asked.

"You left first, and I went to Liangyi Hall right after you, and almost suffered an unexpected disaster. "Li Fu said with a smile.

As for recommending Wei Zheng and asking Li Shimin for 1,800 strings of cash, Li Fu did not even mention a punctuation mark.

"Next time you give advice, don't make His Majesty angry, be gentle." Li Fu said with a smile.
