Chapter 57: Asking the Chronicles
Manyuan is built on the bank of Dianchi Lake, the water of Dianchi Lake is blue, and the cloudless sky is also blue.
Li Fei looked at his own hands, plump and fair, thick palms and round backs, with shallow dimples at the roots of the five fingers, from palmistry, this is a pair of blessed hands, but Li Fei never thought that a person's blessing was cut off by someone just by relying on a pair of hands, which is also ridiculous, a person's blessing is to rely on his own hands, little by little to dig out.
Li Fei pulled his sleeves, covered a pair of hands, and sat quietly in the grass pavilion near the pond, the four corners of the pavilion were placed with marble duckbill incense burners, lit with incense sticks refreshing and elegant, lingering aftertaste, Li Feihuan looked around, there was no figure as far as he could see, only a few black swans parked on the pond, lazily basking in the sun, combing each other's feathers, neck and shoulders intertwined.
After a while, Zhao Yanheng walked over quickly, his shoulders were wide, his back was straight, his face looked a little clearer, but he still looked beautiful and radiant, especially a pair of upward phoenix eyes, looking at Li Fei intently, as if containing the warmth of three lives and three worlds, the only unnatural thing was that Zhao Yanheng's posture was a little stiff when he walked over, his right arm was not moving against his side, his fingers were slightly curled, Li Fei looked at Zhao Yanheng with a bright smile on his face, and listened to him say very familiarly: "Fei Fei." β
Since when has it been so intimate and natural, Li Fei squinted slightly, stood up from the stone bench covered with brocade mats, turned sideways slightly, and saluted, behind Zhao Yanheng, Dong Rang led the attendants of No. 1 Middle School, put snacks and fruits on the stone table, cooked hot tea, and quietly disappeared among the dense flowers and trees.
Zhao Yanheng sat down first with a smile, held the painted teapot in his left hand and poured tea, poured a full cup and put the teapot down, and sent the teacup to Li Fei's place to pour tea for himself, Li Fei finally sat opposite Zhao Yanheng generously, looking at Zhao Yanheng's right arm.
Zhao Yanheng smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "It's already scabbed, I'm in good health, and I'll be able to raise my arm in another seven or eight days." β
Zhao Yanheng's arm should have been hung with a triangular scarf to limit the movement of the shoulder joint and the force on the joint, but he wanted to come to see Li Fei, but he didn't allow himself to act like a disabled person, so he insisted on coming like this, although his shoulder was faintly painful from the arm falling, he was secretly happy in his heart, Li Fei finally had a little bit of him in his heart.
This is enough, Li Fei was originally a slow-burning character, in this life, I have only known each other for a month, and Zhao Yanheng warned himself over and over again not to worry.
Li Fei said politely: "Your Highness must take care of your body, the body of the dragon son and the grandson of the dragon has been damaged, and if you investigate it, the people around you will inevitably eat and fall." β
"Are you angry? I know you're angry, so angry that you're sick of yourself, and I don't dare to go to your house and make you angry again. Zhao Yanheng's face was a little stiff, and he said aggrieved, even cautiously: " I know, now let you marry me, is to force you, but I also have no way, I am eighteen years old, my sixth brother eighteen years old has been married for a year, I always have a princess this year, I am willing to wait for you, the royal family will not let an adult prince without a princess, I don't know which noble daughters my father is thinking about, those people, I am not rare, I am already a fiefdom prince, I want to marry the woman I like, you are the woman I like, I will marry you, my father and the emperor will give it, the Ministry of Rites will pass the decree, if there are some rumors, you don't listen to it and don't think about it, in short, when the dust settles, you must be the princess of Xiangγ β
Zhao Yanheng was reborn a few years ago, and the first thing he did after he woke up was to plan how to meet Li Fei in this life, how to win Li Fei's heart like a real teenager.
In this life, he will not wronged Li Fei in his name, his reputation is correct, and he and Li Fei will have a long time together in the future, and the years can prove his intentions.
Li Fei strained his face and sneered in his heart, like Song Duofu's worries, the position of the side concubine, even if the women of the world are allowed to be chosen by the royal family, she will have to accept it at that time, it depends on whether the old emperor in the palace is old and confused, and he will give the marriage decree like that.
Li Fei pursed his lips and didn't answer, with an indifferent look on his face.
Zhao Yanheng looked at Li Fei like this, sighed, and continued: "I know, I am lifted by my identity, and I am also burdened by my identity, a small family with a simple population like the Lu family can make you feel comfortable, but it is such a heavy and heavy rule of the royal family, and there are many brothers, and the rights are intertwined, which will make you feel depressed and bored, but please believe me, I will protect you." β
Li Fei is not a woman who only cares about the day and night, only sees the small profits in front of her, nor is she a little woman who is carried away by King Xiang's somewhat inexplicable affection, her eyes contain a layer of floating light, and her deep eyes have a fine light of insight into current affairs, and said with a smile: "I have only known you for a month, I asked myself if I know anything about you, but since you are so sincere to marry me, I also sincerely ask, does His Royal Highness King Xiang want to be an idle prince for the rest of his life, and he will be rich and noble, or do he want to be on the Ninth Five-Year Plan and guide the country?"
Zhao Yanheng didn't answer immediately, he held his head in his hand, his eyes were gentle, he was obviously a tiger boy, but he was lazy like a cat, and he had no offensive power. Once, his appearance deceived many people, even the princess Zhu Miaohua in his previous life, but Li Fei has such a perceptive mind and the courage to face it head-on, this question was asked two years in advance, but Li Fei also asked like in her previous life, she is such an extraordinary and intoxicating woman,
Li Fei said with a solemn expression: "Our dynasty has passed to the fourth emperor, the previous ancestor Renzong, none of them is over fifty years old, and none of them have reigned for so long like today's Majesty, who is fifty-five years old and has reigned for twenty-seven years. β
Zhao Yanheng smiled softly, the soft light rippling in his eyes, his voice was sweet and greasy, and said: "I said that I would protect you, a man can only protect him if he stands on the top of the mountain, and he wants to protect it." β
Li Fei was not hit by Zhao Yanheng's sweet words, but frowned and said: "Your Highness can see clearly, my surname is Li, I am not surnamed Zhu, I am willing to be surnamed Li, I will not change my surname to Zhu, Your Highness should not marry me, I am not a suitable princess Xiang, perhaps, I will also block His Highness's grand ambitions." β
How is Li Fei not suitable, she is one of the very few people with her mother's surname, this is her biggest flaw, and she never thought of returning to the Zhu family, so behind her, her mother's family was degraded, and her father's family was also emotionally weak and the relationship was stiff, Zhao Yanheng married Li Fei, which not only made the emperor dislike, but also did not have the help of his wife's family, and Li Fei was on the border, more than ten years of cultivation and knowledge, and could not be compared with the noble daughters in Beijing, among ten people, nine of them looked at Li Fei, and they would say that she was not worthy of His Royal Highness King Xiang.
Li Fei didn't understand Zhao Yanheng, and didn't know that Zhao Yanheng's originally indifferent heart turned into a pool of soft water because he met Li Fei, and he said softly: "Your goodness, I know, your goodness doesn't need others to know." β
Zhao Yanheng paused, and said firmly: "Don't worry, you will keep your mother's surname, and you will write Shuyuan Li in the marriage will." β
Li Fei covered his eyes, cut off Zhao Yanheng's indulgent gaze, his attitude softened, but he said angrily: "But I don't want to be Princess Xiang, I don't want to take this heavy risk, and the blessings and misfortunes of the Li family are tied to you, if you lose, the Li family will be suppressed for two consecutive dynasties, and decades of tempering will grind the Li family into a piece of sand, then it will really disappear among all living beings, what if you win, the Li family thinks of itself as a talent, and does not need to rely on their daughter to envy the glory of their relatives!"
How difficult and dangerous the road to imperial power is, sixteen years ago, the eldest son of the crown prince was abolished and died, and the second son of the emperor lost the throne forever.
King Xiang is another ambitious prince!
There is a benefit and a disadvantage here, the benefit is not what I want, the harm is almost equal to ruining, and marrying King Xiang is a difficult and dangerous road, now the Li family does not want to choose, does not want to stand behind His Royal Highness King Xiang to make a big gamble, Li Fei himself does not want to take that road, why should he be dragged hard by life like this.
Zhao Yanheng didn't know when he walked in front of Li Fei, his hand touched Li Fei's slightly cool cheek, Li Fei pouted, not letting Zhao Yanheng touch her, Zhao Yanheng's hand stopped in mid-air, his eyes were sad, you were married in the last life, I was married, the estrangement in Li Fei's heart could not be passed, his future in this life is unknown, Li Fei's worries and uneasiness he understands, but this life ......
"I know it's my fault, but I can't bear you, I can't bear it!
Zhao Yanheng begged low and affectionately retained.
Four thousand miles away, the Xuanguo Mansion.
Since this year the emperor wants to give his sons a marriage, if there is a princess, give one or two side concubines, if the princess dies, like King Jing, he will re-refer to a princess, as well as King Wei and King Xiang, who have not yet been married, and now the second son of the emperor, King Wu, and the third son of the emperor, King Jing, have arrived in Beijing before, and today is the sixth son of the emperor, King Jing, has entered Beijing.
"Big girl, the emperor sent the Ministry of Rites Shangshu to lead out ten miles to welcome, and allowed King Jing's carriage and horse from Donghua Gate to the Arrow Pavilion, the emperor set up a small banquet in the palace, and King Jing was like an ordinary father and son, and said for a long time, King Jing went out of the palace before the spoon was placed at the palace gate, and when King Wu and King Jing arrived in Beijing, there was no such favor. β
Zhu Miaohua is a deep lady, naturally she can't stare at this, she is talking about Xie Zhong's daughter-in-law, a steward next to Cai's side, and she talks about those things outside, the scenery of the prince, the frustration of the prince, and her eyebrows are dancing, Zhu Miaohua has never been in her life, of course, she will not be confused by these appearances, now think about it, what is so good about King Jing, he has married a princess, and he is just a widower.
Zhu Miaohua listened patiently, with a pair of beautiful eyes, so that the maid gave Xie Zhong's daughter-in-law a large bag of silver, Zhu Miaohua smiled: "You go and inquire, when His Royal Highness King Xiang will arrive in Beijing, I will listen to the excitement again." β
