"Little five, you're twenty-two, it's time to get married. The prince persuaded his own brother bitterly. Li Binwei is the younger brother of the prince's mother, but he is more than ten years younger, and the queen died when Li Binwei was five years old, and the prince took more care of this younger brother. For the crown prince, Li Binwei is not so much his younger brother as his son, and he is more worried about his own son than his own. The most worrying thing is Li Binwei's marriage, Li Binwei is getting older and older, but she has no idea of getting married at all, not even the girl who warms the bed. The prince once suspected that his younger brother was a good man, and sent a few young and beautiful teenagers over, but he was thrown under the guards for rigorous training, and all of them were reborn into five big and three thick guard thugs. As soon as this incident came out, the prince was even more worried, women don't like men and don't like it, is it possible that his younger brother wants to become a monk? So for a long time, he pulled his younger brother to tell him how bad it was to be a monk, especially that he couldn't eat meat, and his own younger brother who liked to eat meat absolutely couldn't bear it. How did Li Binwei react at that time?
"Wine and meat passed through the intestines, and the Buddha sat in his heart. ”
Hearing this reason, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince almost jumped up, without any calm bearing as a prince, but fortunately, Li Binwei immediately spoke again to appease his eldest brother, telling the prince that he didn't want to be a monk and was not cold, but wanted to find someone he liked, a couple for a lifetime.
The prince finally put his mind at ease, but he began to worry about finding a candidate for the person his younger brother liked, after so many years, Li Binwei is old, and there is no trace of his princess, and the prince is starting to be anxious again - how do you feel that the prince of a country is like an old mother?
"Brother Huang, I said that I want to find someone I like who has a common language with me, otherwise I won't get married. The fifth prince Li Binwei has always responded to the crown prince with such a sentence.
The prince was angry: "You kid always likes to run out, you never read the information of the nobles you see, and you are not interested in every draft, even if you take a sneak peek." The result? You can find a confidant like this!"
Li Binwei didn't move in all directions, and the prince said that it was up to him to say it, anyway, he was used to listening to it.
The prince looked at Li Binwei like this, he was angry, he was like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. Ahh
The prince wiped his face, forget it, it's been so many years, every time he brings up this topic, Li Binwei looks like this, forget it, don't count on him.
"Aunt Wen'an will hold a plum banquet in two days, you must go to it. "The crown prince gave the order to die.
"Imperial Brother......" Li Binwei frowned. He was very reluctant to participate in this so-called banquet similar to a blind date.
"You have to go. The prince's attitude was very tough, "Aren't you looking for a confidant? There are several very good women invited by my aunt this time, and they may be able to become your confidants." ”
The prince was heartbroken for his younger brother, and he let his subordinates collect all the information of the ladies who were qualified to be princesses in the capital, and the most optimistic was Lin Baishu, the eldest lady of the Baoling Marquis Mansion.
"Lin Baishu, the eldest lady of the Baoling Marquis Mansion, is very good, she is a famous talented woman in the capital, haven't you also read her poems? The prince recommended his favorite candidate to Li Binwei.
Li Binwei's expression was indifferent: "Her poems are really good, especially the poem "Will Enter the Wine", which is very atmospheric and bold, unlike what a woman in the boudoir can do." ”
The prince asked, "What do you mean?" I suspect that the poem was not written by Lin Baishu?"
Li Binwei didn't answer, and said: "The poem mentions that Master Cen and Dan Qiusheng don't know who they are? A lady can know two foreign men casually? and King Chen, looking at the previous dynasty and my dynasty, there is no prince named King Chen. Where did the 'King Chen feast peacefully and happily in the past, and fight wine for ten thousand years' come from?"
The prince was dumbfounded by the question, and he also felt that something was wrong, and frowned: "Listening to you say this, it is true. Lin Baishu wrote several poems that don't seem to be able to be written by her, it seems that there is someone behind her to help her do it for her! This Baoling Marquis Mansion has a bit of ability, and it can create such a talented lady who is famous in Beijing, but I am afraid that the plan is not small...... What do you see me doing?"
Li Binwei: "I think the purpose of the Marquis of Baoling is obvious, either your father or the emperor's brother." Father's age is not young, so you are the biggest target. ”
When the crown prince heard this, he sighed: "Who knows? The second, third, and fourth children have been eyeing each other, and my father's attitude is vague, and my position as the crown prince is not stable." ”
Li Binwei knew the prince's difficulties and did not speak to comfort the prince, but he would support the prince with practical actions. The prince also knows this, so he is really attentive to his younger brother, and he will never suspect that Li Binwei will compete for the throne with him.
There was silence in the room, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, breaking the silence.
The prince restrained his expression and said loudly, "Come in." ”
The door opened, and it was not the subordinate who came in, but the crown princess with a warm smile. The crown princess held a tray with two steaming bowls on it.
"I'm here to bring you some supper. The crown princess smiled softly, "I have already asked my subordinates to prepare the room, the fifth brother will stay in Yuqing Palace tonight, don't go back to the prince's office." ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Li Binwei took a bowl of supper and sincerely thanked the crown princess. The crown princess has been married to the crown prince for 14 years, because the prince's relationship also takes great care of Li Binwei's younger brother, and he takes care of him more like his mother, so Li Binwei respects the crown princess very much.
"Why do you need to see me outside, fifth brother?" said the crown princess as she placed another bowl of supper in front of the prince, and said lovingly, "The prince told you about Aunt Wen'an's plum banquet, right? Fifth brother, you must participate, sister-in-law, I am still waiting to drink the tea from my brother and daughter-in-law." ”
Li Binwei frowned again when he heard this, he felt that he was not very old, was it necessary for the imperial brother and sister-in-law to be in such a hurry to urge him to get married?
The prince spoke first to block Li Binwei's refusal: "Even if Lin Baishu is a fake, there are other ladies at the banquet, their reputation is not as loud as Lin Baishu, but it is definitely not worse than Lin Baishu, maybe there is your confidant among them, you can't let go of this opportunity." ”
The crown princess didn't know why: "What kind of fake? Isn't the eldest lady of the Lin family a talented girl who is famous in Beijing?"
