Chapter 60 Dad took office

The days in summer are always longer. The dusk drum of the palace has been ringing for a long time, and the sunset is thrown on the high wall of the imperial city and refuses to leave.

When Qin Mubai came to the Penglai Hall of Daming Palace, Li Shimin was accompanied by his three children with great interest and played Cuju in the backyard. As Qin Shubao once said, Li Shimin is not only a great and outstanding emperor, but also a versatile and romantic talent. Programs like Cuju are pediatrics for him. A colorful long-ticked Gongju kicked the dragon and phoenix dance on his feet as if he had spirituality.

The little prince Li Zhi and the little princess Li Mingda clapped their little hands and shouted loudly, and the giggles revealed the childish innocence and simple happiness. For this child who has just lost his mother, this moment of the day is probably the most anticipated pleasant time of the day.

Today, there is another person on the court who plays against Li Shimin. That is Li Shimin's Palm Pearl Princess Gaoyang, who has just returned from Taiyuan, the northern capital.

Although Princess Gaoyang is only twelve or three years old, there is a "adult atmosphere" that does not match her age everywhere. There is quite Li Shimin's charm between her hands and feet, and even the tone of her voice is a little similar. I'm afraid this is one of the reasons why Li Shimin likes her!

Qin Mubai stood outside the Royal Garden and looked at it quietly for a long time without bothering him. The eunuch who was waiting outside knew him well and whispered, "General, how about the villain to inform you?"

"No, I'll wait." Looking at Princess Gao Yang, Qin Mubai didn't want to quarrel with her in front of Li Shimin. According to this little girl's personality, she is mostly a spoiled and coquettish person who goes crazy. I don't see that Li Shimin may still be a little restrained. If he had a father in front, he must be bolder.

Unexpectedly, Qin Mubai didn't want to go in, but Princess Gaoyang's eyes were sharp. Kicking the ball, she also glanced at Qin Mubai standing outside the garden. He curled his mouth, grabbed the ball kicked by Li Shimin with both hands and held it in his arms, and turned his face angrily.

Li Shimin frowned when he saw this: "Linger, why don't you kick?"

"Father--" Princess Gaoyang held the ball, shook her shoulders and kicked her feet in front of Li Shimin. She said, "The child is not angry when he sees that guy. How can he still want to play football?"

"You child." Li Shimin glanced at Qin Mubai in the distance, patted Princess Gaoyang's head, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Father, you have been talking to you for a long time, why are you still being petty?"

"My father's words are very reasonable, and the child naturally understands it! But..." Princess Gaoyang opened her mouth and muttered with a pitiful aggrieved look, "But the child has never suffered such a resentment since he was a child! My father didn't mean that as a nobleman, he had to think about the royal majesty from time to time, and could not humiliate the dignity of the royal family. Now a sentry military academy also dares to take the child, and still shouts at the child. This is going to spread. How will the child be a man in the future!"

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "Linger, haven't you always been the most reasonable and sensible person? How did you get into the tip of the bull's horn this time? The military order of Baiqi was formulated by the father. Qin Mubai is loyal to their duty. Since you are my daughter, you should consciously abide by these rules and don't force them to do something that violates military orders. That's how to safeguard the dignity of the father! Baiqi is my personal guard, and it will be your personal guard in the future! How can you care about your subordinates? You should learn more from your mother about this. In this harem, everyone knows the elegance and generosity of Yin Defei.

"Okay, my daughter knows..." Princess Gaoyang nodded reluctantly, glanced at Qin Mubai, and hummed softly, "But my father wants to praise that guy to his face and criticize me... I can't stand it."

"Ha ha, it's just a scene. No, how can Qin Mubai and others dare to strictly enforce the law and be loyal to duty in the future? As a princess, you have to take out your breasts and temperament to convince your subordinates.

"Okay, my daughters are all according to my father." Princess Gaoyang curled her eyebrows and smiled reluctantly, "Who makes my father my favorite person?"

"You girl, you just have a sweet mouth!" Li Shimin was amused and laughed. He stretched out his fingers to clamp her lips. "You said it beautifully. Why are you still talking?"

"Okay, no more, hee hee!" Princess Gaoyang smiled brightly, which was extremely bright, revealing small dimples and a pair of tiger teeth.

"Well, this is my best Linger baby! Haha!" Li Shimin laughed happily and was in a good mood.

Qin Mubai looked at it from afar. Although he didn't hear what the emperor and Princess Gaoyang said, he only said in his heart that his daughter was the last lover of his father. Presumably Li Shimin really loved this Princess Gaoyang. Princess Gaoyang, a ghost, does have a way to make Li Shimin happy.

"Come on, Xuanqin Mubai came to see you."

Qin Mubai was ordered to enter the imperial garden and saw that the ceremony was over.

Li Shimin sat on the chair, and Princess Gaoyang stood obediently to wipe his sweat and fan. She was careful and clever. At this moment, she is completely different from the image of the little devil when she broke into the palace, and she clearly turned into an angel.

"Mu Bai, I have asked Gao Yang about what happened this afternoon. It's true that she is wrong, and I have taught her a lesson. Li Shimin's expression was not serious, and he spoke more easily, as if with a little apology. "It's really hard for you. Is the injury all right?"

"Your Majesty's words are serious, and Weichen doesn't seem to have been hurt." Qin Mubai replied with his hand.

"You don't have to cover up for Gao Yang. I actually know it. It's really unruly. The princess actually opened her mouth and bit people!" After Li Shimin said, he stared at Gao Yang angrily. Gao Yang also lowered his head timidly with great cooperation, looking like he had done something wrong and was waiting to be scolded.

"Forget it, Your Majesty. It's just a little misunderstanding. Weichen was too stubborn and hot at that time, and he couldn't blame the princess all. Qin Mubai said with a wry smile in his heart: This play is really tiring!

Li Shimin nodded and said like a dragonfly, "Well, let him go through this little misunderstanding. There is no need to mention it in the future. Gao Yang, if you dare to hit Baiqi again in the future, I won't spare you.

"I know!" Princess Gaoyang stuck out her tongue and whispered timidly.

"Huh?--" Li Shimin looked at Princess Gaoyang with an unhappy face.

"My son obeys the order!" Princess Gaoyang saluted.

Qin Mubai wanted to laugh while watching. This father and daughter are really funny.

"Okay, you can retreat first." Li Shimin waved his hand, and Princess Gaoyang retreated. Turning around and walking a few steps away from Li Shimin's sight, Princess Gaoyang quietly turned around and nodded a few fingers at Qin Mubai fiercely, and said with "lips": "Look, you'll see!"

The corners of Qin Mubai's eyes twitched, and he couldn't laugh or cry. The eunuchs next to them couldn't help laughing and didn't dare to show any clues in front of the emperor.

Li Shimin called Li Zhi and Li Mingda over, held one in his arms and the other on his lap. He coaxed them and said, "Genu, Yanzi, look, is this general Yingwu?"

Ten-year-old Li Zhi and five-year-old Li Mingda looked up at Qin Mubai together, blinked his childish eyes neatly, and nodded: "Ying Wu."

"Brother Jiu, what does Yingwu mean?" Li Mingda asked with his head tilted.

"I don't know either!" Li Zhi looked at his sister and shook his head blankly.

"Haha--" Everyone present, including Qin Mubai and Li Shimin, laughed.

Li Shimin stroked the heads of the two children left and right, and whispered in their ears, "If you want to know what Yingwu means, you have to read more, you know?"

"The boy knows!" The two children answered in unison, and even nodded neatly.

Qin Mubai stood aside and saw it, and his heart also felt quite warm. Leaving aside the identity of these people, the present scene is indeed a beautiful picture of a rare family happiness. However, in history, the failure of Li Shimin's "the way of being a father" seems to be as "outstanding" as his success of "the way of being a king".

Among all his children, there is no one or two real children, and the majority of them are not good at the end. I have to say that this is the biggest regret and failure of Li Shimin's life. In fact, is there any man who doesn't want his career to be as harmonious and complete as his family? But God doesn't seem to be in the mood to let anyone take advantage of everything. In his life, Li Shimin has won a life and become a successful emperor, but he can't be a qualified father.

From this point of view, Li Shimin, who has been an emperor for thousands of years, is not as good as a farmer with a father and son's filial family.

"Jingnu, son, can you let this heroic general read and write with you every day in the future?" Li Shimin gently patted the two sons and said softly.

"No!" Li Zhi hugged Li Shimin's elbow and shook his head quickly, "The child wants his father!"

"Brother Jiu, don't do this. My father is the king of a country. There are many things to do. You can't accompany us every day!" Five-year-old Li Mingda said solemnly, like an adult's tone.

"Look, my sister is so sensible." Li Shimin smiled and said patiently, "This general is the most trusted person of his father... Well, he is his father's best friend. He can not only take care of you like his father, but also protect you well. You see, his armor is so beautiful, and he still wears a sharp knife on his waist! With him, no one will ride a mad horse to scare you again. Also, don't you like the rhythm very much? This general can play a wonderful pipa. Let him teach you. You like calligraphy when you are only five years old. You are copying your father's flying white books every day, and you can also let him teach you! Let me tell you, his handwriting is more beautiful than his father's!"

"Really?" After all, Li Zhi and Li Mingda are children. When they heard so many new things, they were immediately attracted and looked at Qin Mubai curiously.

Li Shimin pouted to Qin Mubai and motioned him to admit it.

Qin Mubai squatted down with a smile and said in a soft voice, "Your Highness, there is no joke. What His Majesty said is true. I can not only play the pipa, write, but also play football, ride horses, and shoot arrows. I can eliminate anyone who wants to bully you, and I can come up with a lot of interesting things for you to play.

"Can you wake up my mother? She has been sleeping for a long time!" Very abruptly, Li Mingda said such a sentence, and then looked at Qin Mubai with round eyes full of expectation.

Qin Mubai looked up at Li Shimin. At this moment, his face was so complicated. With a trace of sadness in the warmth, he looked at Qin Mubai as if asking for help.

"I can." Qin Mubai smiled and nodded gently.

"Okay--" Li Zhi and Li Mingda clapped their hands and shouted, cheering happily together.
