Chapter 28: A Birthday Gift for Young Slave
Chapter 28: A Birthday Gift for Young Slave
Little Sizi dozed off in the swaying carriage; the more the carriage bounced, the louder her snores became!
Hey, guess what? She opened her eyes, and lo and behold, she was back on the princess's bed in the Lizheng Palace!
It felt so soft and squishy. I thought to myself, if it weren't for the fact that I had peed on it again, I would have wanted to stay in bed.
Look over there, isn't that the Liangyi Hall? The cultural atmosphere is still so strong!
Take another look at the Zhengdian Hall, which stands side by side with the Liangyi Hall. It is very close to where the Emperor “works” and the Hongwen Hall, the royal library, is also not far away. It’s just a few steps away.
Hey, just hearing the words "establishing a government" sounds incredibly serious, and it instantly wakes me up!
"Oh my god, where am I? Wasn't I just in a village in Northeast China?! Wasn't I riding around in a horse-drawn carriage with the veterinarian and Little Nang?! How come it feels like I'm dreaming?"
She slowly climbed out of bed, sunlight streaming through the curtains and falling on her slightly curly hair, creating a warm halo.
Sizi babbled in childish, innocent words, her voice like a sweet bell, both naive and slightly mischievous.
The maidservant was busy nearby. When she saw the princess wake up, she immediately put down what she was doing and hurriedly went to her side.
Their fingers moved nimbly, quickly and gently changing Princess Jinyang's wet trousers and blankets, their actions showing meticulous care for the princess.
Hey, as soon as Si Zi stepped into the courtyard, hey, everyone was busily preparing for the Ninth Prince's birthday party!
Little Sizi was also very happy, feeling quite pleased with herself. This place was indeed more elegant than Qiu Rongmu and Guoguo's.
Oh my gosh, today is the big day that Brother Zhinu has made his dazzling debut in this world!! I really have to give Brother Zhinu a proper celebration!
Xiao Si was so excited, thinking, "Zhi Nu Guo Ge is another year older. Originally, we had already set up the script. He had to obediently go to Bingzhou to be his vassal king. Although he was very powerful, he was not the emperor after all."
As the banquet was drawing to a close, Brother Zhinu asked expectantly, "Hey, everyone gave me gifts, what about you, Sizi? I'm really looking forward to your birthday present!"
Sizi blinked and said mischievously, "Don't rush, I'll give you a big surprise after everyone leaves!!"
After the guests had all left, Si Zi took Zhi Nu's hand and quietly entered her princess tea room, where the two began to leisurely eat melon seeds.
Brother Zhinu couldn't contain his curiosity: "Sizi, tell me quickly, what exactly is your gift?"
Si Zi feigned mystery: "Hehe, let me tell you slowly, I guarantee you'll be very surprised!"
Sizi is about to spoil the plot: I have a secret to tell Guoguo!
Oh?
Honey, my gift to you is a tarot reading!!
Oh?
You won't be like the Grandmasters and Commanders, all busy guarding the four directions!
Oh?
However, the palace was quite lively in the following years!
The rivalry between Prince Wei, Li Tai, and Crown Prince Li Chengqian for the throne was so intense it was practically explosive!
Haha, I did see that, but I'm not really into these things.
Sizi: That's right, that's why they say you have the destiny of an emperor.
Shh, these words startled Li Zhi.
Speaking of which, Brother Li, you were born in the second year of the Zhenguan era. Ever since you were eight years old, Brother Li Tai has been like he's been given a cheat code, rushing forward at lightning speed!
In just over five years, he has completely stolen the limelight from Crown Prince Li Chengqian!
Those factions that took sides were all incredibly enthusiastic, desperately helping Li Tai. They were now in the final 100-meter sprint, and it was time for Li Tai to get fired up!
Oh?
Hey bro, you need to be careful around Hou Junji. If he gets close to you, just ignore him!
Why? Speaking of Hou Junji, he was a renowned general in the early Tang Dynasty.
Sizi said: Yes, he is also Father's in-law!
Oh?
When Sizi was watching TV dramas in the modern world, she saw that Li Chengqian, the crown prince of Li Shimin's family, married Hou Junji's daughter.
Si Zi knew that TV drama screenwriters always made major changes, so she quickly asked: "Brother, isn't Hou Junji a big shot at the level of the emperor's father-in-law?"
Li Zhi: No.
Sizi suddenly remembered the gossip she had overheard at the laundry department:
Hey, do you guys know? That Hou Junji, the great hero in Lingyan Pavilion?
Legend has it that after his daughter married Crown Prince Li Chengqian, the two secretly plotted a rebellion!
The result, of course, was failure and being eliminated.
However, this is purely gossip; there is no such thing in history.
Oh?
The official history clearly states that Li Chengqian, the eldest son of Li Shimin, had a wife surnamed Su, who had absolutely no relation to Hou Junji's daughter!
Li Zhi smiled after hearing this, but he seemed to be deep in thought.
To be honest, Father did indeed favor Li Tai more, and his feelings for Li Chengqian were just so-so; he wasn't particularly concerned about him.
Si Zi sighed, "Oh dear, speaking of my brother the Crown Prince, he's had such a difficult journey. He's constantly being pressured by Li Tai, completely on the defensive. Watching this game of chess makes me anxious for him!"
As a result, many people were anxious and scheming, plotting to use the Crown Prince's status to cause trouble. Hou Junji was the crux of the matter!
Oh?
Upon seeing the situation, Hou Junji encouraged Li Chengqian to stage a military coup, hoping to overturn the situation directly.
But this guy is incredibly audacious; he openly staged a coup, as if he wanted everyone to know.
This isn't someone who plays dirty tricks; they're completely open about it!
As it turned out, the matter was quickly exposed, and in a fit of anger, our father had Hou Junji executed and demoted Crown Prince Li Chengqian to a commoner.
Shh! Startled, Li Zhi touched Si Zi's forehead. Was the baby delirious because of a fever?
however,
Not long after,
Li Zhi witnessed the birthday wishes for Si Zi today...
