My harem can't be this messy

Chapter 216 Taiye Pond

"Our grandpa?"

"Yes, our grandpa. Cousin, we are a grandpa."

At this time, he had already run to the carriage, Li Zhi opened the curtain, let the Lord Guide in, and then patted Lin Ruyin's butt, Lin Ruyin also hurried into the carriage.

The wheels of the carriage turned, and County Lord Guide opened the curtains. He looked out of the window happily. Outside the window, there were palace ladies and eunuchs passing by, gate guards guarding the palace gate, continuous palace walls and palaces, beautiful trees and flowers.

"Looking good cousin, why is the tree here different from the one my cousin has seen before? There are many small peas on it."

"My cousin saw the phoenix tree, but this is the peach tree."

The carriage had already left the Changle Gate, Li Zhi didn't let the carriage pass directly through the Taiji Palace, but chose to go around the palace wall of the Taiji Palace and enter from the Zuoyintai Gate of Daming Palace.

After leaving the palace wall, County Lord Guide was extremely excited and would point to many things and ask Li Zhi. County Lord Guide was unfamiliar with the outside world.She had only lived in the outside world when she was very young.The days of house arrest are isolation from the world.

Li Zhi naturally pointed to his cousin one by one, telling her what he saw, bees, white butterflies, flowers, grass on the side of the road, Lord Guide seems to be curious about everything, even if it is an ordinary puddle, It brightened her eyes a lot.

Li Zhi accompanied her, with a kind of depressive sadness flooding in his heart.

After arriving at Zuoyintai gate and entering the palace gate, Li Zhi stopped the carriage aside.

The Daming Palace at this time has only been roughly repaired, so naturally there are no people there, and there are symbolically two guards at the Zuoyintai gate.

After entering here, Li Zhi held Lin Ruyin with one hand, and the county magistrate Guide with the other.

From here, through the building gap, you can already see the sparkling light not far away.

The sun shines in the afternoon, and the water of Taiye Lake is blown out by the wind to ripple like fish scales, gently slapping the shore of the lake in the sun.

County Lord Guide looked at the big lake in front of him, and covered his beautiful lips with his empty hands in surprise.

"Cousin, this is the Taiye Pond. The lotus leaves that the lady-in-waiting said are born in the Taiye Pond."

The Lord Guide rushed there, and after a while, he was dragged by his cousin to run there.

At this time, on the calm lake surface of Taiye Pool, many disc-shaped lotus leaves have opened up the water surface. Photosynthesis supplements its own energy, and the blue-purple color will gradually fade, showing the usual emerald green.

County Lord Guide stood on the shore of the lake, watching the lotus leaves floating slowly in the ripples of the water, covering his vermilion lips with his hands, unable to make a sound in surprise.

Lin Ruyin followed the two of them all the way, and she didn't know how many times she wiped her eyes.

Li Zhi saw his cousin squatting down, looked at a lotus leaf nearby, and wanted to reach out to touch it, Li Zhi quickly took his cousin's hand.

"Cousin, be careful. These lotus leaves grow in the water. Cousin should not touch them. The pool of Taiye is very deep."

"They said there are still lotus in Taiye Pond."

"I'll bring my cousin to see it when there are lotus flowers, but they don't exist now, it won't be until June."

"June, I know June, my mother told me that there are twelve months in a year."

Li Zhi squatted beside Guide County Lord sadly, not knowing what to do at this moment, he held his cousin's hand very tightly.

The legs of squatting by the lake were a little uncomfortable, so Li Zhicai pulled up County Lord Guide.

"Cousin, I'll take you for a walk along the lakeshore!"

"Okay, good looking cousin."

"Cousin, remove the word "good-looking" and call me cousin."

"Okay, cousin."

Li Zhi saw that this cousin was bouncing forward like a butterfly all the way. In order to catch a white butterfly, she would break into the depths of the flowers and want to catch honey bees, but Li Zhi hurriedly stopped her.

"The bee stings."

The head of Guide County looked at Li Zhi with a pair of bright eyes, showing doubts.

"Anyway, you can't catch it. Butterflies can catch it, but bees can't."

"Oh, cousin remembers. Cousin, can you really take cousin away from that wall in the future?"

"Yes, I will often take my cousin out of there, and my aunt wants to go out for a walk, and I can."

Li Zhi is not talking nonsense. As a latecomer, although he accidentally understands this period of history, he also knows that in the 16th year of Zhenguan, Taizong's attitude towards the widows of the two brothers changed a lot earlier.

Others only saw the ruthless slaughter at Xuanwumen, but they couldn't see the loneliness in the emperor's heart after many years.

In that killing, only Li Shimin was left among Tang Taizu's sons, and the third of the four sons had gone.

And at this time, how could the older Li Shimin not recall the past, the time when he was a young man and accompanied his brother to indulge in Tang Guogong's mansion.

People of this age, in fact, love the most is to recall the past.

This kind of recollection was summed up very well by a great man in later generations.

Reminiscing about the turbulent years in the past, just a classmate who was a young man, in his prime, full of scholarly spirit, scolded Fang Qiu.

That period of youth, and then the years when he followed his father to Jinyang and fought in the world.

At this moment, I remembered that even if the brothers of the Xuanwu Sect turned against each other back then, at this time, Li Shimin would no longer be able to hold a deep grudge against his deceased brother.

Li Jiancheng has been posthumously named the hidden prince, and Li Yuanji is posthumously gifted as the Chaothorn King.

Concubine Yang, who had given birth to Taizong's son, was also called Concubine Chao.

At this moment in Datang, in the heart of that emperor, many things are actually slowly changing. He is just a mortal, with mortal emotions and desires, mortal sadness and hatred, and mortal sighs and sorrows.

Maybe, it's just that he is better at covering up.

The queen mother can see it through because they are too familiar with it, and she can see it through herself because she is familiar with the history of the early Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Zhi dared to promise to bring Guide County Lord out in the future, because the pressure from his father would soon dissipate.

If Zheng Guanyin wanted to, he could also walk out of that door, and even Li Zhi would try to let Zheng Guanyin go back to his hometown to visit his relatives through his mother.

Li Zhi had already considered these matters carefully, so he would not touch his father's nerves. Otherwise, Li Zhi would not have dared to do it indiscriminately, even though he was a legitimate son.

At this time, she agreed to Guide County Lord, and the cousin excitedly held Li Zhi's hand, as happy as a child.

In fact, for so many years, the head of Guide County, who has rarely had contact with the outside world, is not just a child, a child who grew up beside Zheng Guanyin and accompanied her for more than ten years.

Her heart is pure, and she has an impeccable adult appearance, but that heart, as if it has stopped growing over the years, maintains its original innocence, as if sealed in an amethyst.

Accompanied by Li Zhi, County Lord Guide walked around the Taiye Pond. At this time, the excitement still lingered, but after all, it was the first time he walked such a long distance, and his feet still hurt and his legs were numb.

Sitting on the grass at this time, Li Zhi didn't shy away from it, took off one of his cousin's shoes, and rubbed her feet through the silk socks.

"Cousin, it's so itchy!"
