Chapter 191: Li Zhi's Attitude (1)
In the Zichen Hall of the Daming Palace, Li Zhi was half lying on a short couch, and there was an imperial doctor next to him who was acupuncture. In the past two years, his dysfunction has become more and more frequent. The imperial doctor in the palace often diagnosed him, but he could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, and even his vision was affected, and his eyesight was a little blurred. Because of this, his temper became increasingly irritable.
After the acupuncture, Li Zhi sat up and opened his eyes. He felt that the scene in front of him seemed to be clearer, especially his head was not as heavy as before. This made him nodded with satisfaction, and then someone rewarded the imperial doctor, and his irritability in his heart also diminished a little.
At this moment, a little eunuch suddenly rushed over to report: "Your Majesty, Princess Chengyang is asking for a meeting!"
When Li Zhi heard that his favorite sister was coming, he also smiled kindly and immediately invited Princess Chengyang to come in. After a while, the eldest princess stepped in and immediately smiled when she saw Li Zhi, "Brother Jiu, you look good, have your condition relieved?"
"Just finished acupuncture, my mind was much more relaxed. Come and sit in Chengyang. The New Year is coming soon. You can't run out for this year's banquet!" Li Zhi also smiled and greeted Princess Chengyang.
Every New Year's Eve, a banquet will be held in the palace to entertain all royal families. People closest to Chengyang, such as Princess Chengyang, have to accompany Li Zhi to have a banquet in Zichen Hall. However, Princess Chengyang does not like this kind of banquet, and she hates Wu Meiniang and is unwilling to sit against each other, so she will run out by herself every time.
"Since Brother Jiu has spoken, I won't go out this year. But Brother Jiu, don't drink alcohol. After all, the imperial doctor said that you must not drink alcohol when you have any illness. You have to learn from Honger. He has been vegetarian for more than a year to cure the disease, and he usually doesn't drink alcohol. Now he has almost never gotten sick again." Princess Chengyang finally persuaded again.
"Okay, okay, I promise you that I will never drink this time!" Li Zhi smiled helplessly.
Li Zhi is a man who loves wine. In fact, not only him, but also the men of the entire Li royal family are good wine. For example, Li Shimin liked to entertain ministers the most, and he was drunk every time. Sometimes when he was in a good mood, he would dance and sing directly at the banquet. In comparison, Li Zhi was much more steady, but the good wine was no different from Li Shimin.
"Not only this banquet, if there is no need in the future, the Ninth Brother Ninth should drink at least less. When the father was good at drinking, but later the poor health was related to the alcohol. In addition, Shaoer's father also had good alcohol at the beginning. I advised him many times. Although he agreed on the surface, he still secretly drank behind his back. Although I also drank occasionally, I never got drunk. I really don't know why you men like drinking so much?" Princess Chengyang also complained in a series of complaints at this time.
If someone else said this, Li Zhi probably wouldn't listen to it, but his sister's complaint made him feel very warm. Although he is the emperor, it is precisely because of this that the people around him are more respectful to him and really care about him. There are actually not many people who have no distracting thoughts. Apart from Princess Chengyang, the only thing he can think of is his favorite daughter Taiping. After all, she is still young and doesn't have too many thoughts like others.
"You don't know about this Chengyang. There is a world in the wine. Especially after getting drunk, all the pressure and troubles of the usual life disappear. The whole person is floating in the air and is like flying. Especially for me, the emperor, I usually have countless things to deal with, and only when I am drunk can I temporarily forget the troubles of the world!" Li Zhi explained with a smile again.
Princess Chengyang had no choice but to hear that. In fact, she knew that she could only stop Li Zhi once or twice at most, but it was impossible to make him never drink. Not to mention Li Zhi, even her dead husband was unable to convince her. After all, not everyone in this world doesn’t like drinking like Zhang Zong, but Zhang Zong is very good at drinking, which is really strange to think about it.
When Princess Chengyang and Li Zhi chatted with each other for a few more family matters, they saw the Princess ponder for a moment, and then said, "Brother Jiu, something happened at home recently. I... I came to you today, but I actually wanted to complain to you!"
"Thank you? Who is the one who is not open to your eyes and dares to provoke you?" Li Zhi immediately glared at this moment and said angrily. At this time, his majesty was everywhere, and most people probably wouldn't dare to look directly at the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"Yes, this person who doesn't open his eyes is my good son, who almost made me angry to death!" Princess Chengyang sighed and whispered.
"Shaoer? Isn't he quite good? How could he make you angry?" When he heard that he was his nephew, Li Zhi immediately laughed majestic. He had a very good impression of Xue Shao. After all, compared to other playboys, Xue Shao has no bad hobbies. Although he is a little lazy in his studies, he is not as chaotic as others. As for the little hobby of liking food, it is even more harmless.
"Brother Jiu, you don't know anything. Shaoer is usually quite obedient, but as he grows older, he... falls in love with a woman!" Princess Chengyang said with a half-true and half-fake smile.
Princess Chengyang had always wanted Xue Shao to marry Taiping before, and even mentioned it in front of Li Zhi. Li Zhi also agreed with this. However, now Xue Shao fell in love with Changsun Yuanyi, and Princess Chengyang wanted to talk to Li Zhi about her feelings and reason, which was also the main reason why she entered the palace.
"Zhi Mu Shaoai, it's not surprising that a young man has such an experience, but I'm very curious. Which woman does he like?" Li Zhi said without caring after hearing this. It's normal for a young man to fall in love with a woman. For example, he also liked a woman when he was young, but it's one thing to like, and whether to marry the other person is another thing.
"Oh, what he likes is the daughter of the Changsun family, named Changsun Yuanyi. When we returned to Chang'an before, we met them on the road, so we walked with each other, but we didn't expect that Shaoer would have a chance to contact each other." Princess Chengyang sighed again.
"Changsun Family?" Li Zhi frowned slightly when he heard this. Changsun Wuji was his uncle. He even ordered the other party to be killed in person, so he was still very sensitive to the Changsun Family.
However, Li Zhi's brows then relaxed. The Changsun family had long lost its power as it was back then. The title of Duke Zhao was also handed over to Changsun Yuanyi, a somewhat dull young man. It can be said that the entire Changsun family would no longer have any threats.
