Chapter 11: True Purpose
It was like a basin of cold water poured down from his head, drenching Li Xian to the core, he always thought that Tang Ying was excluded because of Ming Chongyan, and he would definitely be full of resentment towards him. Unexpectedly, she didn't feel excited at all, and put on a preachy appearance.
"You...... What do you say? He suppressed his anger, hoping that he had misheard.
Tang Ying just wanted to sound the alarm for him, so he said without any emotion: "First of all, I want to know myself and know that I will not be defeated in a hundred battles." As far as I have listened to your discussions, no one has any understanding of Ming Chongyan, it is all your imagination. The real horror of him is completely unknown to you. With such a huge disparity in power, you still dare to shout and say that you will give him a color? I advise you not to engage in these boring gatherings again, for if he finds out, everyone will suffer! ”
After Li Xian heard this, his face turned pale, "Ah Ying." Are you so afraid of him? He just relied on a handsome face and a mouth full of slander to deceive the queen mother's trust in her. ”
"Wrong! You are completely wrong! Tang Ying really couldn't listen to his self-righteous speculation, and was even more afraid of his contemptuous enemy, so he grabbed his collar and said: "He is very good at the city, but he is really talented and sensitive to politics, and he will definitely not lose to you hairy children who talk on paper." What's more, he has a lot of magic and is extremely patient. I can't explain the horror, and I can't defeat him. I advise you to clamp your tail in front of him, and don't let your life be over because of a moment of arrogance! ”
Li Xian had obviously never seen her so angry, and pulled her clothes back in some humiliation, and said with a stiff neck: "You are afraid, I am not afraid of him!" ”
Tang Ying sneered when he heard this, "Yes, I've seen a lot of people who aren't afraid of him." But they're all dead, and they don't even know how they died! "Li Shimin's resurrection, the defenders of Chang'an, and her Li Chunfeng. These heroes who were all the rage were played with by him, and they were all smashed in the dust.
Seeing her talking, I didn't feel tears streaming down my face. Li Xian guessed that maybe it was Ming Chongyan who took the life of her beloved, so she was not in a hurry to raise the bar. He lowered his head and said in frustration: "Do both the father and the queen mother know the Tao? Did you tell them? ”
Tang Ying calmed down a little and sat down in the carriage again, "I know everything." It's just that things aren't as simple as you think. In short, it would be good if you didn't make enemies of him again in the future. ”
"Do you just watch him do it in the palace?" Li Xian patted his knee angrily. remembered the arrogant appearance of Ming Chongyan when he went up the mountain to find Tang Ying, and he was angry.
Tang Ying couldn't answer him, only said: "We are slowly trying to figure out a way, and now is not suitable for rash action." ”
Li Xian pinched her arm, "Who are you?" Can I join you? ”
Tang Ying shook his head, "As a prince, you should learn more about governing the country." After all, your father and mother still have high hopes for you. Hearing this, Li Xian scoffed, "High hopes? Hmph, as long as there is Brother Hong, it is enough. ”
Tang Ying doesn't remember when Li Xian died in history, but he only knows that Li Hong died very early. So, she sighed and said: "You are brothers, you are the pride of your parents, wouldn't it be great if you could assist each other to share the worries of the emperor?" ”
Li Xian's brows furrowed tightly, "I'm different from them. Since I was a child, my father said that I was very much like my grandfather, and I should be the one who has achieved a hegemony. And Brother Hong became the prince just because he was born two years earlier than me, the future prince! It's not fair. As he spoke, there seemed to be a raging fire in his eyes, "Father, queen and queen are all facing him, and I am much better than him in essays and martial arts!" Now, even that demon Ming Chongyan is helping him. Ah Ying, you said that this is not a trick of the demons. He knew that Brother Lu Daohong had a cowardly personality, and he only waited for his father to support Brother Hong as emperor after a hundred years, and he could manipulate the puppet to his heart's content. ”
Tang Ying looked at the ignorance that was incompatible with his handsome face with disdain, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Xian, you think too much. You look for everyone's faults, why don't you look at your own shortcomings? Hong may not be as smart as you, but he is very diligent, steady, widely admonished, and unites virtuous ministers, you can't deny this, right? ”
"That's because he is indecisive and can't call the shots himself, that's why ......" Li Xian muttered quietly, and was glared back by Tang Ying, "Look, you're starting again!" She pinched her temples hard, "If you always focus on a person's shortcomings, it's hard to notice his excellence." Hiroshi has been very kind since he was a child, and it can be seen from the love for his relatives. I heard that a few days ago he did not hesitate to violate the taboo of the queen and plead for the two princesses who were imprisoned in the court. If it's you, can you do it? ”
Li Xian was silent, and after a while, he said angrily: "Ah Ying, you don't know the way, the father and the queen mother love Brother Hong far more than other children, especially me. There are so many children, except for Honghe Taiping, none of the others were brought up by the queen mother herself......" he said, as if he remembered the dead Wu Shun, and his eyes involuntarily turned red. A sad voice came out of his mouth, "Since I was born, some people have said that I am the child of my father and aunt. For this, the queen mother has not loved me since she was a child. Every time I look at me, I look at it with disgust. ”
Tang Ying exclaimed: "How is it possible? You are the child I delivered myself! And at that time, the harem was really dangerous, and your mother entrusted you to someone else to take care of you in order to gain a firm foothold. ”
"Yes...... Li Xian's tone was not so much that he didn't care, but that it was a "it's too late" attitude. He is an adult, and his way of getting along with his parents is basically fixed. Therefore, he looks sunny and confident and aggressive on the outside, but in fact, he is trying to hide his unconfident heart.
Tang Ying grabbed his hand and said, "Xian'er." I've heard the queen say more than once that you are the most like her of all the children. ”
"Really?" Li Xian raised his slightly mournful eyes, like a wounded child. Tang Ying smiled and said, "Why should I lie to you? As long as you stop doing boring things and assist your brother Hong, the queen will naturally see your shining point and entrust you with important tasks. ”
Li Xian laughed softly, "Now that my mother has Ming Chongyan by her side, how can she still see my goodness." ”
Tang Ying comforted him and said, "As long as you do it, she will definitely notice." Big deal, and I'll help you. ”
As she said this, Li Xian's hand had gently wrapped around her waist and wrapped her in her arms, "Ah Ying, is all this true?" Would you like to help me? ”
Tang Ying was just about to answer, when he suddenly found a glimmer of light in his gentle gaze that was difficult to capture. That's a kind of ...... The look of the finish. He wanted to cover up the past with sadness about his life, but in the end he was too excited.
Her head slowly rested on his shoulder, savoring what had happened in the recent past.
First, on the day of He Lanmin's death, he was touched by Li Xian, who happened to pass by. There are many doubts about this matter. The execution of Helan Minzhi was obviously Wu Mei's secret order, how did he know about Lu Dao, and it happened to happen to meet her when she was alone in Taiye Pool? A drunken night followed, and then he was frequently courteous. Even today I took her out to join my own small group to show peace of mind...... Everything is as if it has been arranged. The purpose is to wait for his words that he will help him.
She suddenly felt a little sad, and she couldn't say how sad she was. Perhaps, in the years when Li Chunfeng left, she regarded the young Li Xian as the last bit of evidence of her status as a woman.
However, the reality is that she is just being taken advantage of.
