Tang Dynasty: A Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls for Li Er at the Start

Chapter 40 I am the Prince of Wei, you cannot lay a hand on me!

With Wen He's small arms and legs, if Li Shimin really pushed him out to go against the powerful clans...

He must have been gnawed until not even bone fragments were left.

Li Shimin rolled his eyes at him and said, "Coward. With me here, it's not your turn to charge into battle."

With his words, Wen He finally felt relieved.

The two walked through the long corridor and arrived at a lotus pond.

A group of Xuanjia guards had been waiting here for a long time.

"I am about to enter the palace. You will stay in the manor for the next few days. Once things have settled down, I will have my subordinates issue an edict to bestow upon you the title of Viscount of Gaoyang County."

He nodded to Wen He and took the riding whip handed to him by the guard.

Just as Wen He had predicted, he went from being a county boy to a county prince.

only……

"Why Gaoyang? Your Highness, isn't this title inappropriate for me?" Wen He never expected Li Shimin to give her such a title.

Gaoyang is famous because of Zhuanxu. One can imagine how prestigious such a title must have been for such a historical figure.

Li Shimin gave it to Princess Gaoyang, which shows his favor, but what does it mean if he gave it to himself?
"That name is too unlucky, I'll use it on you instead," Li Shimin snorted.

Ever since Wen He told him that his future daughter, who would bear such a title, was having an affair with a monk.

The more he looked at the name Gao Yang, the more awkward and uncomfortable he felt.

Why not just give it to Wen He?

Anyway, his children won't need it in the future.

Wen He never expected that this was Li Shimin's perverse sense of humor. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only kick the ground hard.

the next day.

The three little ones, who came to class with their younger sister looking resentful, saw Wen He with a gloomy face as soon as they entered the door.

He squinted, staring intently at the three brothers.

"He seems to be in a bad mood," Li Chengqian coughed lightly, reminding Li Tai.

Li Tai just ran around the mansion and was almost exhausted. He even threatened to teach Wen He a lesson today.

But now, looking at Wen He holding the rattan whip, he suddenly felt his legs go weak for some reason.

"Beauty."

When Wenrou saw her friend arrive, she quickly ran out of the house.

The maid behind Li Lizhi frowned, about to reprimand Wenrou for being rude, but was pulled by the old nanny beside her.

"These brother and sister are His Highness and Princess's honored guests, so please don't interfere."

The maid was taken aback and turned around to look.

Wen He was seen using a rattan whip to urge the three little ones into the house.

"Everyone must memorize at least thirty sentences today. I've also prepared math problems for you. If you can't solve them, you won't get any food today!"

A furious shout came from inside.

The three little ones couldn't hold back any longer.

"I am the King of Wei! You commoner, you cannot do this to me!"

Before Li Tai could finish speaking, the rattan whip lashed his arm, causing him so much pain that tears welled up in his eyes.

"King Wei is nothing! Get on his back!"

I can't fight your father, and I can't even handle you three little brats.

With the King of Qin and Princess Consort Zhangsun backing them up, the three of them had no choice but to obey.

Li Chengqian felt sorry for his younger brother, but seeing the rattan whip in Wen He's hand, he ultimately chose to keep quiet.

Li Ke, on the other hand, calmly picked up the Three Character Classic handwritten by Wen He and silently recited it from the side.

Wen He was very pleased. She gently patted his shoulder and then went to the side to rest with her eyes closed.

"You're always pretending."

Li Tai snorted at him resentfully.

Li Ke glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Actually, he didn't want to study, and he didn't even want to come.

But last night, his mother heard about Wen He's situation and told him that he must not end up like Li Tai.

Whatever Mr. Wen asks you to do, you must do it honestly.

Although he was young, he did not understand why his mother wanted him to do this.

However, he still keenly sensed that something was different in the Prince of Qin's mansion these past few days.

This morning, the servants and maids became even more obsequious when I got up.

His former personal page even requested to enter the palace with him.

"Fourth Brother, don't be rude. Third Brother is your elder brother." Li Chengqian glared at him.

Li Tai, however, was not afraid of him and snorted.

"You're the same. So what if you're going to be the crown prince? What's so great about that?"

He seemed somewhat annoyed, and his voice became much louder. Upon hearing this, the servants and maids inside the room all lowered their heads, wishing they could immediately cover their ears.

Wen He, who had been dozing on the couch next to her, slowly opened her eyes.

Li Tai was unaware of this and was still indignant.

"We are all Father's children. Who is more noble than whom? Anyway, I am also a king. At worst, in the future..."

Before he could finish speaking, a dark figure appeared behind him.

His voice stopped abruptly, his lips twitched a few times, and when he turned around, he saw Wen He smiling "kindly" at him.

"What if we do something in the future?" Wen He asked him.

Li Tai swallowed hard.

"I, I am the Prince of Wei, the future prince, I, I..." He was flustered and at a loss for words.

Wen He was different from his previous husbands.

They really hit people, and they showed no mercy.

Not to mention he also has a younger sister who looks weak but is very strong.

"Sir, I was wrong."

Li Tai backed down.

Wen He reached out and patted his head, smiling gently, "Good boy, it's good that you know how to admit your mistakes. I'm not an unreasonable person, but you have to be punished for doing something wrong, right?"

Both Li Chengqian and Li Ke were somewhat bewildered.

Why does this Mr. Wen seem different from yesterday?
He was so fierce before, but now he's smiling so kindly.

Wen He was sleeping soundly when she heard what Li Tai said in her dream.

He suddenly woke up with a start.

A seven-year-old child dared to say such a thing.

There must be someone instigating this behind the scenes.

No wonder Li Tai and his brothers were not on good terms later on.

Even Li Zhi, who seemed harmless as a child, was quite frightened by him.

If we don't teach properly now, won't we end up like we did in history?

Isn't this a slap in my face?

"No, this can't be right!"

Li Ke keenly sensed the problem and involuntarily took a step back.

Li Tai didn't realize it and naively nodded.

"The student will not dare to do it again."

"It's alright, there won't be a future. Men, take him outside and tie him up."

"You, you dare! I am the Prince of Wei! I am the Prince of Wei!"

The servants naturally dared not lay a hand on them.

But there were still Xuanjia Guards in Wenhe's courtyard.

Their staying wasn't just to protect Wen He; it also meant to support him.

When Empress Zhangsun personally delivered breakfast to the door.

Before I even opened the door, I heard screams like a pig being slaughtered coming from inside.

"Sir, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, hahaha, stop scratching me."

"Eldest brother, third brother, save me! I was wrong. I will definitely respect you from now on. Stop scratching me, hahahaha."

Empress Zhangsun, standing outside the door, was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, she hurriedly pushed the door open.

Inside the courtyard.

Li Tai was tied to a tree, and his shoes and socks were removed from his feet.

A black-armored guard was gently tickling the sole of his foot with a foxtail grass.

Li Chengqian and Li Ke stood not far away, heads down, reciting their books.

Fear filled their eyes.

Empress Zhangsun stood frozen in place, unsure of what to do.

"Your Highness, should we make them stop?"

The maid behind her, seeing her in a daze, assumed she was startled and quickly reminded her.

Empress Zhangsun then came to her senses and quickly sent someone to do so.

Just then, someone in the courtyard shouted something.

"The Princess Consort has arrived!"

Before Wen He could react, she heard a loud wail.

Brothers, Monday and Tuesday are crucial; the silence needs your continued attention.

Also, there will be double monthly votes on Monday, so please don't hesitate to vote. Thank you!
