The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

As for Li Zhi...

Although Bai Gui had no grudge against Tang Gaozong, he had no grudge either. It does not deliberately follow historical development. Now that Li Tai is respectful to him, in his heart, if nothing unexpected happens, he will favor this disciple.

While talking.

The female official next to Queen Changsun came to send a message, asking Li Tai, Li Lizhi, and the teacher Bai Gui to go to the main hall of Lizheng Palace to have a meal.

Being a teacher in the emperor's family has this advantage.

Just arrived at the main hall of Riseijeon Hall.

Then I heard the scolding voice of Empress Changsun, "Pheasant slave, don't run around. Come to the queen mother's arms quickly. Pheasant slave, be careful, don't fall."

In the hall, a boy of three or four years old, dressed in rich clothes and wearing a jade crown, with fair appearance and very cute appearance, was playing barefoot, holding a small hunting bow, and playing under the pillars of the hall.

Just as I was thinking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

Bai Gui has been in the palace for so long, and this is the first time he sees Li Zhi. In the past, Li Zhi was taken care of by his maids in the side hall. As a foreign minister, it was difficult to see him.

Li Zhi was running, followed by a gorgeous woman in gorgeous clothes, who was Empress Changsun. Empress Changsun was carrying her lower garments, standing on tiptoes, and leading a group of female officials, chasing the young boy Li Zhi.

suddenly.

Bang.

Li Zhi, who was running, bumped into Bai Gui who was entering the palace. Due to the rebound, his buttocks fell to the floor.

"Queen mother..."

Li Zhi got up, ran into the arms of Queen Changsun, and burst into tears.

"Pheasant slave, you are rude in front of Bai Shiyi, why don't you apologize to Bai Shiyi quickly?"

As she spoke, Empress Changsun looked apologetic and accused Li Zhidao.

As a descendant of a famous family, Queen Changsun was not an ignorant woman. She would not accuse Bai Gui of hitting her child, but instead asked Li Zhi to apologize to Bai Gui.

Li Zhi stopped crying, pursed his lips, bowed obediently to Bai Gui, and said: "Pheasant slave accidentally bumped into... Bai Shiyi, please don't blame Bai Shiyi."

Do what you do and behave accordingly.

"Prince Jin is young, so it is normal to be rude like this. There is no need to be polite."

Bai Gui accepted this gift and smiled.

As he spoke, he also looked at Li Zhi. His appearance is indeed endearing. No wonder Li Shimin loves this young son very much. However, he thought of Li Zhi's sinister nature and frowned again. He wondered whether the Queen Changsun's forcing Li Zhi to apologize this time had entered Li Zhi's heart.

However, this point only floated into his mind and he didn't pay too much attention to it.

It's just Li Zhi, there's nothing to worry about.

"It made Bai Shiyi laugh. It's because I didn't treat the child strictly."

After Li Zhi finished his apology, Queen Changsun expressed her apology again.

Seeing Queen Changsun behaving like this, Bai Gui nodded secretly. No wonder Queen Changsun could be called the "Eternal Wise Queen". He could not help but be moved by her behavior.

It is extremely rare for a queen to apologize to a low-level official.

"The King of Jin is young and has a straightforward nature. He can apologize to his ministers at such a young age. If the empress does not teach her son well, then there will be few people in the entire Tang Dynasty who can teach her son better than the empress."

Bai Guiqian said respectfully.

It's just that when he said that King Jin was cute, he couldn't help but think of a sentence from later generations.

The baby is so cute, I really want to hug my mother...

Of course, he had no desire to covet Queen Changsun.

When Empress Changsun heard this, she smiled slightly. It was obvious that Bai Gui's words came to her heart. She nodded slightly and said, "Please Bai Shiyi come to the palace to have a meal. After a while, Your Majesty will come to Lili." Zhengdian.”

Today's invitation to Bai Gui is a formal thank-you banquet.

At the same time, he also took this opportunity to let Bai Gui serve as the chief clerk of the palace of King Li Tai of Wei.

These days, Wei King Li Tai studied calligraphy with Bai Gui and made great progress. Although he is not one of the most famous people in the book, he stands out among all the princes.

There are more than ten kinds of dishes on the table, but only three are meaty.

Slightly shabby.

"Teacher, my mother cooked this herself..."

Wei King Li Tai reminded in a low voice.

Bai Gui suddenly realized.

The more than ten kinds of dishes are indeed a bit shabby for a royal palace banquet. But if this dish was cooked by Empress Changsun herself, then this dish would be quite precious.

What matters is status.

Although Empress Changsun asked Bai Gui to eat, Bai Gui was not ungrateful. After taking a few bites with chopsticks, he knelt down patiently by the table, waiting for Emperor Li Shimin to come to the Zhengdian Hall.

About a quarter of an hour later, Li Shimin arrived at the Li Zheng Hall, followed by a young man in yellow, with a thin beard on his lips and upper jaw, and an elegant and easy-going appearance.

"I have met Your Majesty and the Crown Prince."

Bai Gui stood up and saluted.

"I love you, sit down peacefully."

Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned for Bai Gui to sit down.

"Chengqian, this is Tai'er's teacher, please get to know him. He will be the chief clerk of the Wei Palace in the future. Bai Qing is good at calligraphy and has practical talents. You can know everything by heart..."

He said to Li Chengqian who was following behind him.

"Yes, Father."

Li Chengqian nodded and looked back at Bai Gui on the left side of the hall. After looking at it for a while, he seemed to want to remember Bai Gui's appearance in his heart.

At this moment, Bai Gui understood after seeing this scene. This banquet has another meaning. He wanted Li Chengqian to see him. At the same time, Li Shimin's implication was very clear. He was telling Li Chengqian that although Bai Gui is the chief secretary of the Wei Palace, he will also be your highness's minister from now on.

Let's have a feast.

No words are spoken when sleeping, and no words are spoken when eating.

Nothing happened at the banquet, they just ate in silence.

Li Shimin immediately announced an edict to promote Bai Gui to the position of Chief Registrar of the Wei Palace, with a rank of six hundred stones.

"I thank your Majesty for your kindness."

Bai Gui accepted the order and thanked him.

"I saw Mr. Bai wearing a ring on his hand. He must be a person who likes hunting. Last time I was lucky enough to get a carved bow in the West Market. It was made of rhinoceros horn... so I gave it to Mr. Bai. It's also mine. As the eldest brother, thank Mr. Bai for being your teacher."

When Bai Gui was sitting down, Li Chengqian suddenly said.

Li Tai's expression changed slightly, but disappeared in an instant.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness, for the gift of the bow."

Bai Gui subconsciously rubbed the topaz ring on his thumb, stood up and thanked him.

This yellow jade ring was transformed by Leng Long.

I never wanted Li Chengqian to see it.

The finger wrench is a tool used for archery. It is worn on the thumb and has a groove just below it. It is used to hold the bow string in order to draw the arrow. Its function is to prevent the fingers from being scratched by the rapid withdrawal of the bow string when releasing the arrow.

Since ancient times, both literati and martial artists have needed to learn the art of archery. So for the sake of convenience, Bai Gui turned Leng Long into a topaz finger.

"Bai Qing is actually wearing a thumb ring, which shows that he likes hunting. I am planning to go hunting in the Forbidden Garden, but Bai Qing might as well go there. Qingque, you also go hunting together."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up slightly and he smiled.

Those who can get used to wearing thumb rings are most likely to be good at shooting. Otherwise, if you don't know how to shoot, bringing a thumb ring out of thin air is a very strange thing in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty scholar class.

In addition, the reason why he took Li Tai with him was because Li Tai only liked civil affairs, but not martial arts. Now that Teacher Bai Gui has a tendency to like martial arts, it would be good for Li Tai to learn martial arts from Teacher Bai Gui.
