The 49th Manly Gaze

  Everyone turned around and faced the bedroom door, Li Shimin walked in with a child in his arms.

  Everyone bows and the bowing is finished.

  Li Shimin looked at Yang Fei and Li Tai, saying: "You've also arrived. What were you just talking about?"

  "I have just returned from the palace, where I accompanied the Empress to pay respects to Her Majesty. The Empress recited a poem of swallows, which left me in awe. Then, my imperial brother read out several poems written by the Empress under a pseudonym, broadening my horizons. I am eager to study them further!" Li Tai said with reverence.

  Li Shimin listened and felt it was interesting, stretched out his hand and said: "Oh, so this is the poem you've written? Let me take a look..."

  "Wait..." Li Tai pressed his hand behind his back, "Your son is about to go study, Your Majesty can have the Crown Prince read it aloud for you!"

  After finishing speaking, he was still afraid that Li Shimin would snatch it away, so he hastily walked to one side.

  This chubby guy likes literature and doesn't quite understand human relationships, but he's interesting, Li Chengqian suddenly became interested in him!

  Li Shimin stretched out his hand, looking somewhat embarrassed. Yang Fei came out to mediate: "Haha, the Crown Prince's love for poetry has indeed reached a state of intoxication!"

  "Your Majesty, I have a draft here, would you like to take a look?" A soft and gentle voice said.

  Li Chengqian looked at Little Chen, and this Little Chen was indeed clever.

  "Hmm!" Li Shimin came back to his senses from the awkwardness, took over the poem handed by Xiao Chen, glanced at it a few times, and praised: "Good! A good swallow poem!"

  He looked at Su He and said, "Su He wrote this poem with a good intention. I'll reward you with a Hundred Flowers Jade Pendant!" He took off a jade pendant from his body and handed it to Su He.

  Wow, Old Li has a lot of stuff on him! Just grab something casually and it's enough to give as a gift!

  Su He felt grateful and blessed, then took over the Hundred Flowers Jade Pendant with both hands, very polite.

  Old Li looked at Little Chen and asked: "Are you Palace Maid Chen?"

  Xiao Chen bowed: "It is indeed."

  Old Li nodded his head in approval, his eyes shining as he looked at Little Chen. Little Chen felt a bit scared and lowered his head very low.

  "Your Majesty." The empress called out.

  Old Li finally came back to his senses and walked over to the queen's bedside, saying: "Guanyin Bi is looking quite well today!" Guanyin Bi was the queen's childhood name.

  "Hmm..." The queen nodded and then whispered something to Old Li.

  After a while, Old Li turned his head and asked Li Chengqian: "I heard that you have invited a divine doctor from outside the palace to treat your mother's illness?"

  "Yes."

  "You have a kind heart, but after all, doctors outside the palace can't be as reassuring as those inside."

  "Yes, I have already asked Imperial Physician Cao to be his attending physician and he will explain the entire treatment process clearly before the imperial physicians study it and then ask Your Majesty to make a decision."

  Old Li nodded and then turned back to comfort the empress, saying that this divine doctor would definitely be able to cure her. As he was about to leave, Li Chengqian felt his gaze on Little Chen, very manly!

  Men are men, and all males in the world can be called men. However, when it comes to a gaze that is likened to a very manly gaze, it's not included in this category. That's a kind of gaze that expresses a strong intention of being a man and being understood by other men, or in other words, Old Li was being very lecherous at this time!

  Alas, Old Li is ill! And this young Chen is only thirteen or fourteen years old!

  Li Chengqian had asked for leave to bring a divine doctor to treat his mother's illness. Now that the treatment was over and there was no need for him to do any more preparation work, he had nothing to do and was very idle. However, he never thought of going back to continue reading books. Others did not urge him, Su Hong hinted at him with her eyes, but Li Chengqian glared back at her.

  Then she stayed by the queen's side, chatting and laughing with her, telling stories, and the day passed just like that.

  When leaving the Li Zheng Hall in the evening, Su He pulled "male disguised as female" and got on the carriage with a smile. Li Chengqian asked her what she was doing bringing her along, Su He said: "Sun Daifu wants to run around, Ah Zhen will be too tired following him, and tonight we still need to arrange a place for her to stay, it's just right to bring her along to take a look."

  Li Chengqian pulled Su He aside and whispered, "You'd better not arrange for her to sleep on our bed... it's too awkward, I'm not comfortable with that!"

  Su Hong's face turned red, and he hastily said: "What are you talking about, Grandfather? This is impossible..."

  It's better if you don't know, otherwise it's not only uncomfortable to sleep next to a black lump, but also can't even be intimate with your wife.

  As they got on the horse carriage, Old Dragon, the coachman, drove the horses forward. Suddenly, a shouting voice came from outside, and Old Dragon pulled back the reins of the horses. Li Chengqian looked out and said, "Huh? What's Xiao Chen chasing after us for?"

  "Your Highness, the Empress has ordered me to follow you back to the Eastern Palace." Little Chen's face was flushed red, and her breathing was slightly short, it wasn't clear whether it was from running or something else.

  "Follow me to the East Palace?" Li Chengqian was puzzled, "Why is that?"

  "The empress wants to hear 'Dream of the Red Chamber' tomorrow morning, so she asked me to go back to the East Palace with you tonight to transcribe it." Little Chen said with a flicker in his eyes.

  Li Chengqian nodded, "Oh, okay then. But since the Empress has ordered you to do something, why are your eyes darting around?"

  "No...!" Little Chen hastily widened his eyes.

  This is more like it!

  After staring at each other for a few seconds, Li Chengqian asked, "Why don't you come up?"

  "Huh? The servant and masters are walking together." Little Chen said.

  Li Chengqian felt a bit uncomfortable. It was fine with people he didn't know well, but with those he did, they had to treat her as an inferior, which he really couldn't do. He beckoned: "Come up. This is the Crown Prince's order!"

  Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, then quickly made a small and elegant bow to express his gratitude.

  She was about to come up, Li Chengqian stretched out his hand, her face turned red and hesitant, Li Chengqian directly pulled her hand, and with a slight effort, he pulled her small body up.

  After getting in the car, Xiao Chen respectfully greeted Su Biao, then exchanged greetings with 'man dressed as a woman', who called her "sister". Then Xiao Chen sat down beside her. Hmm, Xiao Chen meant well but did a bad thing. You say that charcoal is not worth looking at, why sit next to it? Even if red flowers need green leaves to set them off, the one beside you is just too "some people are so annoying they make others want to die".

  All the way, Li Chengqian would occasionally move his gaze to Xiao Chen's body, with the effect of green leaves, finding her more and more beautiful, but inadvertently catching glimpses of "male disguised as female", giving him a thrilling feeling.

  Back in the East Palace, Su He helped Li Chengqian down from the carriage and asked softly, "Young Master, what do you always see Xiao Chen and Ah Zhen doing?"

  "I'm watching Hei Bai Pai," said Li Chengqian.

  Su Hong suppressed a smile.

  "What's on your mind? Black and white matching isn't what you think it is, but a game!"

  "Game?"

  "Hmm, wait a minute and I'll teach you! ... Why is your face red?" Li Chengqian saw Su Hong's pretty face turn red and asked curiously.

  Su Hong's face turned red: "...... Is it like last night's new trick?"

  Li Chengqian almost got hard, cough... "No, but I have the urge to teach you new tricks again!"

  Su Hong was stunned:

  I was wrong just now... She's so embarrassed she could die!

  Something new is happening tonight...

  Her little face flushed deeply red.
