Chapter 38: The Contest (1)
He is worthy of His Royal Highness the Hidden King! Helan smiled bitterly, mixed with a touch of self-deprecation, thinking that when she first heard about the poems of the Hidden King, she still disdained them behind her back - this kind of poetry that even a three-year-old child understands, can also be regarded as a sign of talent? The essence is just a foil to the identity......
Turn, Chang'an Lizheng Palace. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Er hurried over, walked quickly to the table accompanied by the eldest grandson queen who greeted him, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in a big gulp, before sitting down and smiling bitterly at his wife, "I have a headache!" β
"Is Wei Zheng angry with you again?" Empress Eldest Sun quietly came behind Li Er, raised her slender hand, and skillfully rubbed her husband's head.
"I hope it's Wei Zheng's old boy this time!" Li Er waved his hand and denied his wife's speculation with a wry smile: "This time it's more of a headache than Wei Zheng!" β
Hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of Empress Changsun, but she did not continue to speak.
"It's Mowgli!" Expecting that his wife would not delve into it, and the previous question was just a cooperation, Li Er raised his hand and grabbed his wife's hand that was rubbing his head, pulled her to the opposite of him, stared at her bright eyes and slowly spoke.
"Big brother?" Seeing that her brother was involved, the eldest grandson queen's eyes were even more puzzled, and she couldn't help but raise her lips slightly.
"To be exact, it's Chong'er!" Seeing his wife's rare suspicious gaze, Li Er smiled proudly and pulled her into his arms - he still likes the feeling of Guanyin in his arms!
"What's wrong with Chong'er?" Hearing that it was only about the eldest grandson Chong, the eldest grandson queen's hanging heart finally let go, and after being pulled into her arms by her husband, she couldn't help but glance at Li Er.
"Chong'er is also too big!" Li Er's heart fluttered, and he couldn't help but hug his wife's arm tightly.
"What does the eldest brother mean is that he hopes that His Majesty will give Chong'er a marriage?" After thinking about it for a while, Empress Eldest Sun's eyebrows moved slightly, and she quickly pursed her lips and smiled, "I look good at that kid Chong'er, does he have a crush on that little lady?" If Your Majesty is embarrassed to come forward, then the concubine will go and talk to that lady! β
"That's the key!" Li Er sighed, "Guanyin, have you forgotten that that child from Chong'er often comes to Changle to go out to play?" β
"Chong'er has a crush on Changle?" Empress Eldest Sun flickered, and then asked uncertainly.
"Chong'er is not bad, huh?" Seeing Li Er nodding in affirmation, Empress Eldest Sun was silent for a moment, understood her brother's intentions, sighed secretly, and then asked cautiously tentatively.
"Guanyin, has you forgotten the conditions of the fair boy?" Of course, Li Er also understood the intention of the eldest brother, and naturally considered marrying Changle to kiss him, but the key issue was still in the fair boy!
"Your Majesty is talking about the right to marry that justice wants?" Of course, Empress Changsun knew about this, but she still didn't understand, "But Chong'er completely conforms to the three principles - fair, the child should be accommodating, right?" β
"He told me that if history had not changed, but had followed its original trajectory, then Changle's life would have ended at the age of twenty-three!" Li Shimin shook his head slowly, his eyes were heavy, and he spoke lightly rather abruptly.
After saying that, he hugged his wife tightly, because at that moment, his wife's body immediately froze, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble! So he regretted that he tried to warm his wife's cold body with his body heat!
"Nothing to come out of my life!"
But he had to continue!
"Is it Chong'er?" The eldest grandson queen Mo Tong used her low eyes to cover up her watery eyes through the thick resentment-Second brother, has the child explained everything to you after all?
"Look~" Feeling his wife's body gradually warm up, Li Shimin took out the crumpled piece of paper from his arms, "He said that everything is up to us to choose!" β
"Your Majesty, is it true that the child said that children born of close relatives have a high chance of being physically defective?" Empress Eldest Sun took the paper, just glanced at it, and was stunned!
"This kind of thing, it's better to believe it than not to believe it! After all, it involves the happiness of Changle's life! Li Shimin didn't dare to say whether he believed it or not, but he couldn't risk it with his daughter!
"Your Majesty, let Cheng Qian investigate, right? There are still tens of millions of people in Datang! "Empress Eldest Sun finally lived up to her name as Guanyin, and at this time, she remembered not only her own children.
"Yes!" Li Shimin also came to his senses after being reminded by his wife, but then he was distressed, "It's just how to prove that what the kid said is true?" Do you have to go door-to-door? β
"Has Your Majesty forgotten? Cheng Qian is still nominally the child's eldest brother - Your Majesty reminds you a little! At this point, the eldest grandson queen smiled and said slowly.
"Yes!" Li Shimin suddenly laughed, cunning like a fox: "I don't need to figure out everything by myself at all-just let someone who understands do it!" β
"Anyway, they are still in Jingzhou now, and if this development continues, I'm afraid they won't be able to rush back for the New Year~"
"Your Majesty is really dull - that child deliberately left enough time for Ke'er and Linchuan to say goodbye to their mother before leaving--let them come the next day to inquire about what His Majesty arranged for that child, and they won't be able to come back after the New Year!"
"Is there such a thing?" Li Er's eyes widened - he didn't know at all, otherwise he wouldn't have let them out of Beijing.
"Saying that, I haven't seen Ke'er and Linchuan for a few days, and I really think about them" It seems that something comes to mind, Li Er's eyes are full of guilt, "Or is that kid right-they are all children who have left home, how can they not feel distressed!" β
"Guanyin, you said that I should put all the death row prisoners in Chang'an home for the New Year?" Thinking about it, Li Shimin thought of how sad their parents should be for those prisoners who were waiting for death in prison, and who could not live a good year with their families again until they died.
"The concubine is a concubine for Aya Aniang, who is on death row, thank you, Your Majesty!" Hearing this, the eldest grandson queen got out of her husband's arms, and then Yingying bowed and expressed her opinions directly with actions.
"However, since he can't come back, then let him have a blood!" Nodding, Li Shimin's eyebrows moved slightly, and he quickly grinned.
"What does Your Majesty mean?" The husband and wife are of the same heart, and the eldest grandson queen naturally knows the general meaning of Li Shimin.
"He took his younger siblings to celebrate the New Year at someone else's house and disturbed others, shouldn't he give them gifts to apologize?"
"Knock Knock"
As soon as Li Shimin's words were finished, Empress Changsun had not yet answered, when there was a knock on the door from the inner servant.
"What's the matter?" Li Shimin helped his wife up before he opened his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, Uncle Guo has been here!" Outside the door, the guard whispered.
"Got it!" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then replied, and then looked back and smiled bitterly at his wife, but Empress Changsun did not speak again, but slowly lay down in her husband's arms again......
Turn back again, Jingzhou, the room of the hidden king Li Chengdao.
"I'm sorry, things are in a hurry!" Finally, Lee Seung-do reappeared.
After appearing, it was still that hoarse voice, but it was the first time to apologize to Helan Yueshi.
"Your Highness is serious!" Although he felt a little abrupt, what Helan Yueshi had to do now was to return the courtesy, after all, it was a prince who apologized, and he was just a grass man!
"Yue Shi doesn't have to see outside~" Li Chengdao humbly supported Helan Yue Shi, "Now let's continue the topic just now - Helan Chushi is you?" β
"Yes~" Although he felt a little inappropriate for Li Chengdao to speak out about his name, and he was also a little unaccustomed to him going straight to the point like this, the first thing Helan Yueshi had to do now was to reply, so he lowered his head and said in a calm tone, "Helan Chushi is not filial piety!" β
It's just that against the dark background, Li Chengdao didn't notice it at all, and the answerer's hand was trembling slightly......
Time suddenly rushed wildly, and when Helan Yueshi appeared in front of everyone, it was already early the next morning.
After finishing breakfast in an extremely eerie atmosphere, Lee Seung-do once again left everyone behind.
Of course, Wu Yuanshuang still did not show up.
"I think everyone has heard about it more or less, right?" Lee Seung-do did not be polite for a while as always, but went straight to the point. It's just that his casual tone, as if what he said is not a big dealβfor the samurai, of course.
"Due to the current situation caused by the king's self-inflicted cleverness, I apologize to Wu Guogong for my mistakes first" Seeing that almost everyone in the hall nodded in understanding, Li Chengdao first bent down to apologize to the samurai Tong family, "I'm sorry!" β
Although the tone was still plain and casual, the martial couple didn't dare to demand too much, after all, they were only teenagers. As for Wu Zhao's contemptuous eyes, Li Ke's worried gaze, and Wu Shun's dim look, they were directly ignored by him - life is always live broadcast, and there is no chance to rehearse - so be honestly tricked by fate.
"This king's ignorance and missteps have led to this situation - resulting in this complex relationship between the eldest lady of the martial family and the third brother of my family and the three people of the Helan family, Yue Shi. I feel deeply guilty about this" as if he was endorsing, and Rhee Seung-do's tone is always unfazed, and the slightest shadow of guilt cannot be seen or heard", but the matter has come to this point, and no amount of reflection can restore the situation to the beginning - so the focus is on how to solve the matter and not feel sorry for himself! β
On the contrary, how can you listen to his voice as if there is indignation at someone's mouthful?
And that's true, but why does it sound so awkward?
The corners of the samurai's mouth twitched, but he still nodded yes; Only Wu Zhao pouted and muttered, "Find a reason for yourself!" The voice was not loud at all, and Li Chengdao naturally couldn't hear it.
"Therefore, this king has been thinking about the solution to the problem day and night, and finally remembered His Majesty's words!" Since Li Chengdao sings the main game, he will definitely not talk too much with them, because then he himself will feel annoyed, "Your Majesty said - if you have the ability, you will bring back the person you like with your true ability - this is not only to show Your Majesty's dissatisfaction with the king's oppression of people with power, but also to imply that if Li Ke really likes that girl, you will use your true skills to win your rival, please your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and steal the girl's heart--finally hug the beauty!" β
"Therefore, this king wants to dare to be the master again, let Li Ke compare with Yue Shi, and see who is the true son of Wushun's eldest lady - Li Kesheng, then everything will return to the original state, Li Ke will still fight for the eighty points, but the marriage contract between the Helan family and the Wu family will be invalidated; Helan Sheng, then the eldest lady of the martial arts family married Helan Yueshi! β
"No matter how you win or lose, this king will personally apologize to Helan Yueshi afterwards!"
"Of course, this king has asked Yue Shi's opinion before, and he agrees with this king's view of moral marriage!" He didn't care about the warrior's stunned look at all, and of course, Helan Yueshi's obscure movements of bowing his head and twitching were ignored by him, and in fact, he couldn't see it at all.
"As for Li Ke," Li Chengdao glanced at Li Ke, who was standing on the side, who was slightly complicated, "He is unreasonable, so he has no right to speak - if you want to win the hearts of one person, you must show your real skills!" If you don't accept it, go find him Lao Tzu! β
At this point, his eyebrows were solemn, and his tone was stern, as if he had sprinkled all the anger he had been trained on the son of the person who scolded him.
"Does Wu Guogong have a different opinion?" In the end, he turned his conversation to the old man of the martial family.
"The old minister has no objection!" The corners of the samurai's eyes twitched - you have pulled your majesty up, dare you say no! And even a knighthood - this is naked revenge!
But people can do whatever they want, but they can't! Therefore, the samurai could only bow down and answer honestly according to the rules.
On the side, watching his half-hundred-hundred-year-old father slowly salute a young man who was younger than himself, Wu Yuanqing, who was in line with the principle of watching a play, flashed a little complexity in his indifferent eyes.
Unexpectedly, Wu Zhao's shining eyes also revealed a touch of complexity, which made people wonder why; Of course, no one noticed the supporting character either.
"That's good! So get started now! β
"First of all, the rules - a total of three games, take a best-of-three system!" Before everyone was ready, Lee Seung-dao announced the start alone, and then briefly introduced the rules of the competition - it was really concise, and he didn't even introduce anything to compete!
