Chapter 12: War is about to be declared

"Thank you, Ah Ying." Li Xian picked up her face and was thrown away by her. She had a contemptuous smile on her lips and didn't question him, after all, he was a junior, and she was just laughing at her own childishness.

How did Li Xian know that she had thought so much and thought that she was shy, so she whispered, "Why don't I go to you again tonight?" ”

Tang Ying looked at the bustling crowd outside the car window, and pretended to be inadvertently tentative: "I originally came to talk to your mother about going to Luoyang tonight, if you come"

"No, no, you better get down to business." He said in a tone of surprise like a bet on the treasure: "I didn't know that you were serving by the side of the queen mother again!" ”

It's strange if I don't know what to do.

Tang Ying smiled and said lightly: "How can there be a position for a woman, in the past, it was just to coax me to play." ”

He said a little sourly: "Besides you, who else can make her willing to coax?" Didn't you still serve as a chaplain? ”

Tang Ying didn't want to listen to him anymore, so he pretended to be sleepy and leaned on the carriage to close his eyes and recuperate. Li Xian waited for a while, thinking that she was really asleep, so he gently hugged her shoulder and told her to be more comfortable.

This should have been a beautiful picture, but unfortunately all she smelled was the rust of power.

The carriage drove straight into the harem, Li Xian helped her out of the car with care, and asked casually: "Who is going to the Eastern Capital this time?" ”

Tang Ying said: "The emperor will definitely go, and according to the convention, he will stay with the prince to supervise the country." ”

He was most concerned about Ming Chongyan's whereabouts. Tang Ying saw through his thoughts, and only felt that the appearance of wanting to speak and stopping was very ridiculous, so he said it for him, "Ming Chongyan will definitely go too." ”

He hurriedly said, "I'm worried about you." ”

She raised her head and looked at the sky from afar, "I'm afraid that the fight with him is my fate." ”

"How can I help?" He was like a recruit who was eager to go to the battlefield to prove himself, and his desire to go to the Eastern Capital was almost directly stated.

Tang Ying felt that with his hostility and impulsive character towards Ming Chongyan, it was difficult to ensure that there would be no chaos, so he told him very calmly, "Are you stupid? This is your chance to face the emperor in front of him! ”

"I thought you meant to let me stay in Chang'an." He was puzzled.

"Exactly. Chang'an only has the crown prince in charge of the country, and his character is best known to the emperor and queen, and he has always hoped to have reliable people to assist. Is there a better fit for you? ”

Li Xian was quite reluctant, "The credit for doing a good job is also his." ”

Tang Ying said angrily: "Since the Xuanwumen Incident, the Li Tang Dynasty has never stopped fratricidal warfare, and this is what your father cares about the most. Do you say you don't have anything to take advantage of? ”

Li Xian asked suspiciously: "Will it be as you said?" ”

Tang Ying saw that he had changed, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can think about it." I'm leaving. ”

His mind was all about how to show his talents, how to show his unity, and when he came back to his senses, he wanted to say a few more words to Tang Ying, but found that she had already gone away.

Remembering that she was suddenly a little cold to herself, he himself felt a little too much. However, in his world, becoming a prince is the most important thing at present, and if he becomes an emperor in the future, are he afraid that he will not be able to get a woman?

He thought about walking towards the East Palace with his head held high again. Tang Ying's proposal is indeed reasonable. But what he thought of was that with the character of Prince Hong, he must have been very moved by his help. It would be great if he could be pulled against Ming Chongyan, after all, he is still a brother......

Tang Ying did not return to Penglai Island, but went to find Wu Mei. When she entered the Penglai Palace, she saw that the number of eunuchs was more than before, and she could guess that the Holy Driver was coming. Ming Chongyan came out in a meticulous official uniform, and when he saw Tang Ying, he just bowed thoughtfully. Tang Ying also pretended to be casual in return.

Enter the palace to meet the emperor and queen. Li Zhi still looked sleepy, and even yawned when he said hello. Wu Mei was in excellent spirits, and when she saw her, she smiled, "The emperor said that you want to go to Luoyang with us?" ”

Tang Ying thought of Luoshui and Luoyang Palace, and said a little lonely: "I haven't been there for a long time, I miss it a little." ”

Wu Mei summoned her to her side, took her hand and said, "It's good to see some things." Let's go after the New Year. Your Majesty, who else do you want to take with you? ”

Li Zhi waved his hand with a look of "you are in charge". Wu Mei looked up at Tang Ying, and Tang Ying also shook his head.

Wu Mei said to herself: "Let's leave the crown prince in charge of the country as usual." The concubine wants to ask Xian'er to stay and assist, what does the emperor think? ”

"Hmm." The emperor nodded, "Xian'er has also grown up, and she still has no official position." Recently, I've heard that I've been overly idle. ”

Sure enough, as Tang Ying thought, Li Xian's small actions that he thought were smart did not escape the emperor's eyes. Sons who are too active have always been unpopular with those in power.

"There is only the courage of Taizong, but there is no corresponding wisdom." Wu Mei smiled and shook her head, "You should still practice more." ”

Tang Ying once again made sure that what he had taught Li Xian today was all on point, and he could only hope that he would listen to it and not cause any more trouble.

After some more gossip, Tang Ying said goodbye and left. On the way back to Penglai Island, Ming Chongyan pretended to walk side by side with her inadvertently, "You went out today?" ”

"You're spying on me?" Tang Ying asked unhappily. He glanced at her and said with a mysterious smile: "It's not to spy on you, it's to spy on him, and I saw you by the way." ”

"You!" Tang Ying glared at him angrily, "What do you want to do to him?" ”

"It depends on what he wants to do to me?" He said proudly, "I have never been polite to those who take the initiative to provoke." ”

Tang Ying looked at him and wanted to punch him in the face, but she also understood that she was not Ming Chongyan's opponent at all, so she had to suppress her anger, "You don't want to poison him." What's more, he has listened to my advice and will stay in Chang'an in peace! ”

"I hope so." He replied lightly, walked up to her and put his hand on her face, and the dead air inspired the white fire to burst out, and he felt the only warmth in the world.

Tang Ying's power is limited, so Bai Huo can't hurt him yet, what will it look like when she breaks through the bottleneck and releases all the power of Bai Huo? Will they all die together?

He thought, a strange smile on his face. Tang Ying turned his head in disgust, and walked briskly towards Penglai Island without looking back.

Ming Chongyan looked at her back and suddenly said, "He's using you!" ”

Tang Ying bit his lip fiercely and continued to walk forward. Seeing that he didn't refute, he smiled and continued, "He is no different from me. Ah Ying, you can only meet such people. ”

Two tears of grievance flowed from the corners of her eyes, but she didn't stop, she wanted to keep the last trace of dignity for herself.

She rowed her own boat towards Penglai Island, which was in the middle of the Taiye Pond. Ming Chongyan stood alone on the shore and suddenly felt bored.
