Chapter 53: Willful Bear Child

When the beauty has fallen and the peaches and plums are full of branches, the spring of the eleventh year of Zhenguan quietly leaves.

As summer approaches, the crops in the Royal Garden nursery of Luoyang Palace are growing happily. The corn is almost one person tall and has begun to bear corn cobs.

The potatoes underground must have grown a lot of fruits. The green peppers and small tomatoes hang on the branches, waiting to grow up and turn red after they mature.

Li Shimin came a few more times in person and confirmed that he had never seen the plants and fruits of these crops. After that, he paid more attention and became more and more eager.

When it comes to the day of flowering and fruiting, Xie Yi naturally puts great care and spends most of his attention on the nursery every day to take care of these precious crops.

Every three or five days, I have to go to Zhenguan Hall to report the growth of crops to Li Shimin at any time, and I dare not neglect at all.

There is no way, because the fruits produced by these crops are too precious, they will have extraordinary significance. Perhaps this autumn, many things, and even the situation in the Tang Dynasty, will change due to these fruits.

On the seventh day of the fifth month, it is cloudy and there may be rain. As for whether it is an auspicious day, Xie Yi did not look at the almanac.

He left the nursery and went to Zhenguan Hall as usual. The tomatoes had begun to turn slightly red. If Li Er was interested, he could make him a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and taste them.

Just as Xie Yi went to Zhenguan Hall, a team of luxurious carriages drove into Luoyang Palace, where an obese young man and a restless boy were sitting.

Most of the palace maids and the imperial guards recognized these two nobles - King Li Tai of Wei and Prince Li Xin.

The memorial and imperial edicts were between Luoyang and Chang'an, and after running all the way, it took nearly a month to go. King Li Tai of Wei finally got his wish and came to Luoyang, the eastern capital, as he wished, and was about to serve his king and father.

This is what he dreamed of. Crown Prince Li Chengqian was in charge of the country and could not leave Chang'an anyway. Taking advantage of this opportunity to be with his father, you can get too much.

He knew very well that his father had a love for his biological mother, Empress Changsun, and loved his legitimate children very much. The two young brothers and sisters, Li Zhi, King of Jin and Princess Jinyang, were examples, but how could he be an exception?

What's more, there is a young son Li Xin who is deeply favored, which will definitely add a lot of color. Moreover, the matter is caused by humans. In addition to being passively favored, many things have to be tried by themselves. The smart Li Tai has a long mind.

But it was a pity that it seemed a bit unfavorable to get a military trip. When they first arrived at Luoyang Palace, Li Shimin was not there.

His Majesty Li Er, who had just improved his wind, went to inspect the Yellow River embankment. He was worried about the levee during the summer flood season, and the other was whether the canal transportation was smooth.

The canal ships from the Jianghuai River passed Luoyang and had to sail through the dangerous shoals of Sanmenxia of the Yellow River before entering Guanzhong. The grain and cargo carried on the ship were directly related to the livelihood of the people of Guanzhong. The lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty was that Li Shimin did not dare to slacken at all.

Li Tai was somewhat disappointed if he couldn't see his father immediately. He had no choice but to wait first. It happened that the Chief Secretary of the Luoyang Governor's Office, Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun, stayed behind, and His Highness the King of Wei felt that it would be a good idea to talk to this important minister for a while and kill time.

As for the five-year-old prince Li Xin, she was at the age of lively and active, and she could not stand loneliness. In addition, it was not very convenient to be present, so Li Tai asked him to take him to the palace to play.

"Where is Uncle Jiu? Take me to find Uncle Jiu."

Li Xin was brought in to the palace since she was a child and often played with Li Zhi, who was similar to her age. The uncle and nephew had a close relationship. Therefore, as soon as she entered the palace, she yelled to play with Uncle Jiu.

"Yes, take Xin'er to find Zhinu, and Yizi is here, let them play together." Li Tai immediately agreed. To a certain extent, the ninth brother Li Zhi was no different from his son in his eyes, they were just children.

"This... I don't know where His Highness the King of Jin is now." The eunuch who greeted him couldn't help but feel troubled.

Li Tai ordered: "Take Xin'er to the places where Zhinu and Yizi often go, and you will definitely find it."

"Yes!" The eunuch immediately accepted the order. The place where the King of Jin and Princess Jinyang went most often was the Imperial Garden under the palace wall in the east!

So, Li Xin, the prince of the King of Wei, was led to the Imperial Garden Nursery, a forbidden area in Luoyang Palace.

Li Xin wanted to enter but was stopped by the guards. The edict they received was that "idlers and others" were not allowed to enter, so they naturally had to stop it.

But at any time, there is no shortage of self-righteous people who pretend to be powerful. The eunuch, whether to flatter or take it for granted, shouted: "This is the prince of the King of Wei, who is here to find the King of Jin and Princess Jinyang."

Although the guards wanted to perform their duties, they were not allowed to be flexible when working in the palace. After all, His Majesty Li Er often made exceptions for the prince's children, did not follow the rules, and did the superiors and the inferiors. Sometimes, the servants had to make things difficult for them.

It is a well-known fact that the King of Wei was favored. The prince of Wei was taken into the palace since he was a child and was cared for by Empress Changsun. He had a noble status and generous favor. It was really difficult to summarize it into "distant people".

"Don't Uncle Jiu and Aunt Jinyang often play here, why can't I go in?" Li Xin pouted, looking very aggrieved and unhappy.

One sentence made the guards embarrassed, and the emperor's orders were not particularly severe. After all, King Jin and Princess Jinyang were allowed to enter. Even the sister of the man in Huaiyang County was playing here, so how could he keep the Prince of Wei from the door?

"The prince, King Jin and Princess Jinyang may be having meals in the bedroom, not here."

The guard's polite refusal was useless, and Li Xin said unhappily: "It's okay, I'll wait for Uncle Jiu and Aunt Jinyang here. You get out of the way and don't stop me!"

Thinking of Li Xin's identity and favored level, the guards had to bow their heads and acquiesce, but except for the personal servants, the brigade's entourage was left outside.

Li Xin jumped into the gate of the Imperial Garden and looked around at the place where Uncle Jiu and his aunt were playing. What was strange about it?

Don't let me in, hum! Under the rebellious psychological effect, the young prince became more and more curious and dissatisfied.

When Li Xin stepped into the gate, she was disappointed. The garden was filled with strange green plants, and it was empty. What's the best place?

However, these green and red fruits are quite beautiful. Curiously, Li Xin reached out to pick them.

"Can't pick it!" A second before Li Xin took the tomatoes, a tender voice shouted and stopped it in time.

Li Xin turned around and saw a little girl who was about the same age as him. At first, he thought it was a little aunt. But after a closer look, no, she was not as gorgeous as hers, and I don’t know where the wild child came from.

"Who are you?"

"Xie Xiaoman!"

"Oh!" The arrogant prince of Wei didn't take the son of the common people seriously at all, and turned around and continued to pick tomatoes.

"Can't pick it!" Xiaoman ran forward with a small step, grabbed Li Xin's arm, and said righteously: "The third brother said that none of these fruits can be picked!"

"I insist on picking it!" It was probably because of spoiling, Li Xin was quite willful and had a bit of rebellious mentality. She used her hard work and directly pushed Xiaoman to the ground.

Woo woo...

Xiaoman, who fell to the ground, suddenly burst into tears. Li Xin did not care about her, and even ignored her dissuasion, she picked two slightly red tomatoes.

"Can't pick it!" Xiaoman cried and got up to stop Li Xin.

As a result, Li Xin pushed him to the ground again. He probably fell a little painful and cried even more sadly. Du, who was making snacks in the distance, heard Xiaoman's crying and hurried to check it out.

Li Xin began to pick without hesitation, and the slightly red peppers aroused his idea again. He went forward to pick two, broke them apart and threw them on the ground.

After a while, the little man subconsciously wiped his face and corners of his eyes, his face and expression immediately changed, and his eyes immediately burst into tears. He reached out to wipe the tears, and more peppers entered his eyes, and tears flowed down like a thread.

The prince of Wei, who has always wanted to get the wind and rain, has never suffered this crime, and suddenly became a little angry and became an irrational naughty child.

Driven by strong revenge, Li Xin started to take ruthlessness and kicked several crops one after another, including tomatoes, peppers, and corn!

"No..." The naive Xiaoman still stepped forward to stop him.

Li Xin, whose eyes were sore, was very angry and raised her foot and kicked Xiaoman. Du, who was rushing to see that he was very anxious, immediately rushed to protect him.

Li Xin kicked Du's back hard. Although he was just a five-year-old boy, his harsh kick was not small. Du was in pain and let out a soft hum.

The imperial garden nursery suddenly became chaotic, and the crying of the two children came one after another. The prince of Wei fought against the family of the man in Xie County, as if he was hurting the extremely precious crops...

The guards at the door were immediately anxious. They never expected this scene to appear. What should we do?

"Beat her, beat them for me..." Li Xin, the willful naughty child, touched his eyes, cried and shouted that the servants would beat Du Shi and Xiaoman in order to take revenge.

These are all personal servants from the Prince of Wei’s Mansion. They would not be ashamed of the prince’s slightest grievance, so they naturally obeyed the orders and raised their fists and feet to the women, children and children.

As his fists and feet were about to fall on Du Shi and Xiaoman, a loud shout came from the door: "Stop!"

Xie Yi, who was heading to Zhenguan Palace, was back!
