For His Royal Highness King Pu, there is no doubt that this is a satisfying day; For the king of Xin'an, it was indeed a "surprise" but boring day. Perhaps, the only thing that can be called fun is the innocent and childish Princess Yong'an. The little guy likes to imitate his sister no matter what he does, and he has always been close to his cousin, and many fairy tales are enough to make people laugh.

Towards the end of the meeting, Li Hui finally persuaded Li Tai to leave from the group of scribes who praised him. Li Tai leaned on Buyu a little flutteringly, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the two Li family Xiaolangjun next to him, and was immediately extremely surprised. However, because Yan Zhan was also there, he didn't think much about it, and only advised: "It's getting late, go home early." Can the escort be outside? Yan Dalang, you can send them back. ”

"Yes, the child saves." Yan Zhan agreed, and his words were very respectful. When it comes to the details of receiving people and things, he has always been impeccable, and he is deeply liked by His Royal Highness King Pu and His Royal Highness King Yue. As for the saints, they have always treated the younger generations equally, but they don't see any seriousness. The only exception may be their two precious little ladies.

Because Li Tai couldn't help but reminisce about Fang Cai's Wenhui with Yan Zhan, Li Hui, who had no interest in it, walked slowly with Princess Changning and Princess Yong'an, and fell behind. He looked around and said in a low voice, "Yue Niang, since you don't like the Yang family so much, why did you bring Wan Niang over?" The Yang family's literary club has always been boring, full of people chasing fame and fortune, seemingly elegant but vulgar. Instead of wasting a rare time, you should go to the Qujiang Pond to enjoy it. ”

"Of course, we are not here for the Yang Family Cultural Society, we just want to see what Brother and Father are like in the Cultural Society." Princess Changning pursed her lips and smiled, "Now that the doubts in my heart have been solved, I will naturally not come back in the future." Speaking carefully, today can be regarded as an unexpected gain, and it was not in vain. ”

Hearing this, Li Hui glanced at Yan Zhan: "For Yan Dalang, revitalizing the Chengguo Mansion is a heavy task that he must undertake. For the sake of this goal, he may be able to spare no expense. At the moment, it's just a matter of being modest and wronged with Yang, and he probably doesn't think it's important, so he hasn't told you to know. What's more, you are not married, and you are not a family, so naturally you don't have to tell each other in detail. ”

Princess Changning chuckled: "He knew that I hated the Yang family and knew that this matter must be displeased, so he deliberately concealed me." If I hadn't found out, I wouldn't have done more to hide from me. Brother thinks, what I want to protect and seek is more important to him than the Chengguo Mansion? ”

"Yue Niang, although I agree with your idea, I have to warn you that it is not a good thing to be too suspicious."

"That's also because what he's done so far hasn't been able to make me completely unguarded. Brother, it's not my fault at all, you can't blame me. ”

Li Hui sighed helplessly: "However, I would rather you be more suspicious than trust others." You just have to remember that no matter what happens, you have someone to rely on. Though...... I'm just an idler, but I don't lack the guts and courage to stand up for my sister. ”

Princess Yong'an flashed her big eyes, held her little fat face, and followed the lesson: "Guts and courage...... Nothing is missing......"

Princess Changning rubbed her little head and couldn't help laughing: "Believe me, brother, you won't be like this forever." And rest assured, I am no longer weak. When my brother can't do anything, I have to remember that I have never lacked guts and courage. I have never forgotten the words of my grandmother and grandfather, and I have already thought clearly - only when I have both identity and ability, can I 'do what I want and not exceed the rules'. ”

After that, the brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, and Princess Yong'an took their hands with a smile. None of them noticed it, Yan Zhan suddenly glanced back, and a faint depression flashed in his eyes. The next moment, he regained his gentle and elegant appearance, and calmly brought the three brothers and sisters who had left behind into their conversation.

When I returned to King Pu's mansion, night had already fallen. Li Xin stood by the side door with a smile and raised his eyebrows: "Grandpa, San Lang, how is today's Wenhui?" Isn't it perfectly pleasing to your liking? Otherwise, I wouldn't have come back so late. The evening meal was ready early, and A-Niang, You-Niang and Shou-niang were all waiting in the inner hall. ”

These words sound quite meaningful, with a hint of disapproval. However, His Royal Highness King Pu, who was in a very good mood, decided not to bother with him, leaned on the foot, and said with high interest: "San Lang, come here, sit with me!" ”

Li Hui was very skeptical that there was still a place for him to sit down. Of course, not having a place has always been a problem for His Royal Highness King Pu. What's the point if the father and son are closer? I can't sit down, so can't I squeeze and hug it? It's not like we've never sat together before.

Recalling the unbearable past, Li Hui made a choice very decisively. If he is once again embraced in the arms of his grandfather in full view of everyone, the calm image he has painstakingly recreated in the past two years will be gone, and when will he be able to establish his prestige in the servant trilogy - "Grandpa, the child and the elder brother can walk together." ”

"Tsk, Da Lang, what do you think you have become of your brother? Alas, the more boring it becomes, and the more I don't like to be close to Yaye. His Royal Highness King Pu once again regretted that his young son was "badly raised", glanced at his two sons in amazement, and decided that out of sight was pure, "If you have a grandson in the future, you can't let the two of you raise it, I must raise it myself!" ”

The two brothers watched Buyu go away: "Brother, don't worry, Grandpa has always been impatient, and he will get tired of teaching for a few days." Moreover, even if he insists on raising his grandchildren, there is also a mother, and he will never raise crooked. ”

"First of all, he must have a grandchild."

"The little nephew must be coming soon." Li Hui thought of his nephew Li Qiao in his previous life, and couldn't help but slightly curve the corners of his lips, "Brother and sister-in-law will definitely teach him very well." "Counting the years, the little nephew will be born in a year or two, and the gifts in his treasury have already accumulated a heap, just waiting for him.

Li Xin raised his eyebrows, always feeling that he had something to say, as if he was inexplicably determined: "Don't mention these, what do you think of today's Wenhui?" The Yang family specially invited Grandpa over, what did they want? If it's just hype at the moment, I can't say that it will gradually go further in the future. I don't want Grandpa to be instigated by them in the future, and I want to come out and compile some books to leave a name in history. ”

"Brother, it's true that the Yang family's plot is wrong, and it's also true that Grandpa will gradually fall into it - however, it's true that Grandpa is like a fish in water in the literary meeting, and it's also true that he lives happily." Li Hui's eyes moved slightly, and he replied solemnly, "Maybe it's because we've been trapping him with all kinds of excuses and names that he is more and more eager to 'chase his name'." For Grandpa, it is impossible to chase power, and it is unnecessary to chase profit, so he only has to chase his name. This is his only longing, and we, as his sons, can't even this longing be satisfied? ”

"What is the point of life if there are no desires, or if all desires are not satisfied? Day after day, like a walking corpse? Brother, we all want to protect Grandpa, but at the same time, we don't want him to be unhappy, don't we? If this continues, he will tremble all day long, not only will he feel uncomfortable, but perhaps even we ourselves can only spend our lives depressed. ”

"......" Li Xin was silent for a long time, "You are right, we shouldn't have lived such a life. "As a dragon son and phoenix grandson with precious blood, in fact, he is worse than ordinary people. In addition to wealth and glory, this identity brings them more fear and fear, and they do not know the blessings and misfortunes. "Even if Grandpa has taken the wrong path, it doesn't mean that we have to pay the price for it all the time."

"In my brother's heart, have you ever envied my cousin? Have you ever envied that they can stay away from Chang'an and away from all kinds of disturbances? From now on, you can stay in Jingzhou without asking about the world and live in Jingzhou with peace of mind? No matter what changes have happened since then, it has nothing to do with them? Until now, none of us have ever thought of chasing power and profit, but if it's just a name--where can't we go name-for-name? There are many ways to leave a name in history. What's more, as long as you live comfortably, as long as you can have someone to accompany you to sing poems, as long as someone keeps praising and appreciating, with Grandpa's temperament, will you remember anything else? ”

“…… San Lang, we can't go back to Junzhou. Uncle won't let us go. ”

"Brother, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is so vast, except for Junzhou, I don't believe that there will be no place for our family." Li Hui looked at his brother, who looked a little old because of his worries all the time, with warmth and firmness in his eyes, "Moreover, grandfather's filial piety has passed, and Princess Anxing's plot should be about to begin." We must not stay in Chang'an, deal with endless frame-ups and tricks, and fall into this cage forever. ”

"Recently, my uncle was interested in transferring me and asked me if I had any real vacancies." Li Xin said, "Perhaps, this is our only chance." After he kept filial piety for a year, he became the county magistrate of Wannian County again. Although it has only been more than a year so far, I have really done a lot of practical things, and the evaluation is naturally superior.

"This year is not the year to take the exam, why does my uncle want to transfer you away?" Li Hui frowned, "Did he hint at anything?" ”

Li Xin replied: "It should be someone my uncle wants to promote, and I hope that this person can go up as much as possible in Wannian County." Next year's examination plan will naturally allow this person to gain greater real power. "The Jingxian order is already on the fifth grade, if it rises further, it may be the Zhongzhou or Xiazhou thorn history that ranks among the fourth grades.

"Then the elder brother asked for a county order in Luoyang, the eastern capital. or Henan County, or Luoyang County. Of course, foreign officials are not as good as Beijing officials, and it is impossible to say that my uncle is soft-hearted for a while, and he will let my brother serve as the other driver of Shangzhou, or even the assassination of Zhongzhou or Xiazhou. Li Hui said, "At that time, Brother said that he had to fulfill his filial piety to Grandpa and Auntie, and wanted to serve them together." At the same time, I asked my uncle to give me some useful subordinate help. No matter who your uncle wants to put next to you, just answer with his mouth. ”

"Of course, I know better than you how to say these things when the time comes." Li Xin paused, "But—what about you?" ”

Hearing this, Li Hui's expression moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled: "Me? I haven't been stubborn enough in Chang'an, so I'll stay here. "He's alone, so what's the matter if he's a hostage? Moreover, he is just an idle junior, of little value, and Princess Anxing must not be interested in calculating him.

Li Xin tightened his eyebrows, and before he could say anything, a group of people came with lanterns in front of him. A small figure rushed over and hugged him tightly: "Grandpa and Uncle are walking so slowly...... I can't wait! Hurry up! Hurry up! ”

"Shou Niang is hungry?" Li Hui stepped forward and pinched the little guy's chubby face, "I really shouldn't have made you wait for a long time, brother, hurry up." As he spoke, he bent down and picked up his little niece, and while telling her that he had met Princess Changning and Princess Yongan today, he walked in the forefront easily.

Li Xin looked at his back, the love in his chest was surging, and he didn't take his eyes off for a long time.
