On this day, Li Xu took four young men to ride horses to the Ci'en Temple on the outskirts of Beijing to visit Master Zhixuan. In recent years www.biquge.info he has hung up an idle post in the Ministry of Industry, often not going to the Yamen, looking for two or three friends to have a few drinks, sending love to the landscape, or looking for monks to visit the Tao, talking about Zen and Taoism. People who don't know envy him for marrying the only princess of the first emperor, but those who know regret that he has great talent and can't show it, and there are even "good wives" who stir up trouble at home.

When he arrived at the mountain gate of Deci'en Temple, Li Xu left the horse at the door, leaving two servants to take care of it, and he took the other two straight to Zhixuan's meditation room. As soon as he walked around the Daxiong Treasure Hall and walked in the middle of the road, Li Xu heard two women talking about his daughter inside the wall, so he stopped.

“…… But no, I heard that the county lord of Wenjin fell in love with Xue Gongzi, so he went to ask the queen mother to let them marry. But this Xue Gongzi's father had already betrothed him when he was there! ”

"What are you afraid of! The county lord of Wenjin is the granddaughter of the queen mother's concubine, so it is not enough to let the Xue family withdraw from the marriage. However, in this way, the marriage of the mother and daughter is the same, and they were all snatched from others! ”

The other laughed deliciously: "Who said it wasn't!" Didn't the eldest princess of Funing make a fuss back then! The Xue family disagreed, Chang Yibo has been saying that he is sick at home for the past two days, and he has never been out of the door! ”

"The Xue family is really hypocritical, the wealth of the eldest princess's mansion, who in the capital can compare? Be content! ”

"You don't understand this, marrying a wife and marrying virtue, which person in Beijing doesn't know the temper of the county lord of Wenjin? I heard that this Xue Gongzi is a stubborn temper, if the Queen Mother insists on putting them together, I am afraid that it will be a couple like the eldest princess and Li Yuma! ”

Li Xu heard that the corners of his forehead were bruised, and Fu Ning told him that the Queen Mother was going to marry his daughter and Xue Yuanhan, and he was still very happy at that time. Although Changyi Bo is snobbish and scheming, Xue Yuanhan is a breezy young man. The last time I saw him in Ci'en Temple, even Master Zhixuan was full of praise for Xue Yuanhan. But I didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns behind this marriage!

Li Xu was very ashamed in his heart, he was angry that Fu Ning had ruined him, he hated that he had to marry such an unfilial and unvirtuous wife, and he also hated her for raising her daughter to look like her. Unconsciously, his heart has been wrapped in hatred too deeply, forgetting that he is still a father and has a responsibility to his daughter.

Li Xu hurriedly turned the corner, and the two people talking inside the wall were gone. Looking at the bustling crowd in front of the incense burner in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Li Xu was stunned for a moment, then went out of the mountain gate and hurried to his home.

Fu Ning didn't go into the palace to see the Queen Mother that day, and was looking at the pots of peonies in the main courtyard that had just been hung with buds with her daughter.

In the surprised eyes of the servant, Li Xu entered the main courtyard. Fu Ning looked at Li Xu's angry appearance and sneered in his heart. For many years, he had such an expression when he took the initiative to come to her, as if everything was always her fault.

Fu Ning looked up at Li Xu expressionlessly, waiting for him to speak.

"Yuan'er, you go down first, I have something to tell your mother." Li Xu said with a calm face.

"No, every time you come like this, you have to quarrel with your mother, and I won't leave!" Li Jingyuan is very stubborn.

"Get out!" Li Xu shouted violently, so frightened that the servants in the courtyard avoided it. Li Jingyuan held back tears in her eyes and looked at her mother. Fu Ning stroked her head and said, "You go back to your courtyard first." I'll talk to your father. ”

Looking at the back of his daughter's departure, Li Xu was very uncomfortable.

"What's the matter?" Funing asked.

Li Xu settled down and said, "Why did the Queen Mother give Yuan'er and Xue Yuanhan a marriage? ”

"I begged for it." Funing replied.

"Why?"

"Yuan'er likes him."

"Xue Yuanhan has already been engaged! Do you know? ”

"I know."

"Then you still have to do it!" Li Xu's anger couldn't stop coming up again.

"Yuan'er is happy, why not?" Fu Ning was still expressionless.

"You! Unreasonable! When you do this, have you ever asked the Xue family what they mean? Life is lived by people, and it is not possible to live well by the whims of any woman! ”

Fu Ning's face finally had a hint of emotion, and she smiled: "Why are you so angry? When I told you about Xue Yuanhan, didn't you agree? Oh, by the way, you remembered yourself, and you remembered that you were forced to quit the marriage to marry me, didn't you? ”

Li Xu laughed angrily and said, "Whether you think of yourself or not, it doesn't matter. It's just that you ask yourself, have you and I been doing well all these years? ”

Fu Ning looked at Li Xu's face carefully, it was still the face that made her fall in love at first sight, but the youthful spirit was no longer flying, and only the vicissitudes of middle age remained. Seeing that Li Xu already had silver threads in his sideburns, Fu Ning didn't know whether he had a good time with him over the years. There is always the excitement of first marriage, and later, time has smoothed out all the enthusiasm. No, it's not time, it's that two people are too different.

Fu Ning's heart softened and said, "Then what do you say?" How should this be? ”

Li Xu said: "Xue Yuanhan went to Liaodong with the third prince, and if he wants to withdraw from his family, only Changyi Bo will go to the Yu family." And in the past two days, Uncle Changyi said that he couldn't get sick, which was because the Xue family was saying that they didn't agree! If you let the Queen Mother force you to complete this family business, won't you be a child who will suffer in the future? I don't know how many young talents in the capital, so why bother to marry into the Xue family! As for the Queen Mother, she is playing the abacus of Concubine Xian, right? ”

Fu Ning glanced at Li Xu and said, "Did you say that about the queen mother?" ”

Li Xu said: "No matter what the Queen Mother plans, I think of Yuan'er." Find someone who is good to her, and she will be able to live well in the future. ”

Fu Ning thought about it, and finally nodded slowly.

In the blink of an eye, the spring flowers are blooming, and people have become loose when they take off their thick winter clothes. After some trouble in the eldest princess Funing's house, she went to explain the reason to the queen mother and wanted to choose another son-in-law for Li Jingyuan. Although Li Jingyuan begged hard, Funing was determined to plan for his daughter's life, and he could no longer be like himself, beautiful on the surface and miserable in the heart. Li Jingyuan didn't understand Li Xu's hard work, so she hated her father even more.

On this day, Xuanhui calculated that the three princes should return to Beijing, so he arrived at Chongwen Hall early. As soon as I entered the door, I met Liang Xuan, the son of King Chun. After the cousins saw the ceremony, Xuan Hui asked, "Brother Xuan, have you ever seen my third brother?" He's supposed to be back, right? ”

Liang Xuan smiled: "I have never seen the third prince. However, I heard that he was stumped by some case in Liaodong, and the emperor ordered him to supervise it, but I was afraid that it would be a little later before he could return to Beijing. ”

Case? Xuanhui thought quickly. She remembered that in the book of her previous life, before the Northwest Rebellion, the only major case in Liaodong was the seizure of a person/wife as a concubine by Tian Dengwen. There are a lot of reasons involved, and there are a few lives involved. In the court, because of the party dispute between Zhang and Tian, the Tian family was defeated in the end, and Tian Dengwen was demoted to Yunnan.

But this thing? It's just that Xuanhui no longer remembers whether Liang Zan supervised the case back then.
