Chapter 152: The Prince Talks
"Hehehe......" Li Zheng said with a dry smile: "How is it possible, I'm just polite, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince don't take it seriously." ”
Li Chengqian's smile stiffened on his face......
"Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince eaten?"
Li Chengqian, who wanted to throw off his sleeves and leave, retracted his thoughts, "Not yet." ”
"I didn't eat it either, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has shot some pheasants, why don't we partner up?"
"Partner?"
"It's what it means to cook and eat together, you make the ingredients, and I make the art."
Li Chengqian's expression eased slightly, "It's okay." ”
I haven't eaten a flower chicken for a long time, and Li Zheng picked a few wild pheasants from Li Chengqian's prey.
Li Chengqian has been observing Li Zheng from the sidelines.
He was very skillful in building a fire.
Paste the pheasant wrapped in dried lotus leaves and put it in the fire and simmer.
A pot on the fire, in which soup is boiling.
Lamb skewers are grilled on an iron rack next to it.
"Accompanied by green mountains and green forests, a hut, and without those hustle and bustle, Li Zheng, you are very good at living."
Li Zheng generally took care of the fire and said, "I just don't wronged myself." ”
Li Chengqian asked again: "There is one thing that I am very puzzled about. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please speak."
Watching Li Zheng carefully roast the meat, Li Chengqian asked, "Li Zheng, have you really lost confidence in your career?" ”
Li Zheng fanned the charcoal fire with a pu fan and said: "I have never been interested in official careers, and King Wei has asked me many times. ”
"But!" Li Chengqian opened his mouth and asked again: "You want to marry Lizhen, you don't have enough family, and there are many opinions in the palace." ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the lamb skewers are ready, how about you taste it."
"Huh?"
As he spoke, he was interrupted by Li Zheng's string of mutton skewers, and Li Chengqian hesitantly took the mutton skewers.
"Taste it." Li Zheng said again.
Taking a bite of mutton, Li Chengqian tasted it carefully, "It tastes very good." ”
Li Zheng took out the simmering flower chicken in the fire, put the lotus leaf in front of Li Chengqian and said, "Taste it? ”
After eating the mutton skewers, the appetite opened, and Li Chengqian cut off a small piece of chicken with a knife and put it in his mouth, "Hmm! It's delicious. ”
After a few sips of wine, the conversation box between the two also opened.
Li Chengqian was a little drunk, sighed and said, "Li Zheng, do you know? This crown prince's position is really like sitting on pins and needles. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has thought too much."
Li Chengqian said drunkenly: "I didn't think much about it, my father was very good to Qingque, but what about Lonely? ”
Li Zheng drank the mutton soup and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are persecuted paranoia. ”
"Persecution paranoia?"
"Yes, this is a disease, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are sick."
Li Chengqian poured another sip of wine, "How do I feel like you're scolding me when I hear this." ”
“……”
Drunkenly pointing at Li Zheng, Li Chengqian said: "However, you are a miracle doctor, you can tell Gu what kind of disease this disease is." ”
"Persecution paranoia is a mental illness, in your words, it is a heart disease, you are not optimistic, and you think that someone will persecute you all the time."
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "Isn't it? ”
"Isn't it tiring to live like this? Why care so much about what others think. ”
"Lone has to care, Lone is the prince, you Li Zheng doesn't know those disputes in the court, in the eyes of his father, he makes his father proud of what he does, but Lonely, Lone doesn't satisfy his father with anything, and what Lone does is the worst."
Li Chengqian was drunk, and he kept talking about all these years.
It's like venting all the resentment that has been pent up for many years.
After talking for a while, Li Chengqian's wine seemed to wake up, "Gu Duoyan, these things have nothing to do with you." ”
Li Zheng shook his pu fan and fanned himself and said, "Is it a lot easier after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said it?" ”
Li Chengqian nodded, he was indeed a lot more comfortable, he didn't even expect that he would say so much to Li Zheng, and he didn't say these words to anyone else on weekdays.
For Li Zheng, he said all the thoughts in his heart.
Li Zheng smiled and said to Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should come out and walk around more, it is easy to suffocate people in Chang'an all the time, make more friends and talk more." ”
Looking at the surrounding environment, Li Chengqian understood.
Li Zheng is very quiet here, probably because of this quietness and comfort, he can't help but let down all his vigilance.
Li Chengqian got up and bowed down and said, "Gu has complained so much to the county marquis, I hope you don't be surprised." ”
"In fact, for a father, no matter how good His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, His Majesty will not praise His Highness, just like my father, I grow food in the wasteland, I help the people in the village earn money, he has never praised me, but doubted whether I was born to him."
Li Chengqian: "......"
"Your Majesty has high hopes for the Crown Prince, because Your Majesty is the father of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chengqian sat on the grass and was speechless.
Looking at his expression, Li Zheng took a sip of wine leisurely, if he could not let Li Chengqian and Li Tai fight in the same room in the future, it could be regarded as accumulating virtue for him Li Er.
Fang Xuanling was sitting in his mansion reading a book, and the family came to report, "The head of the family, His Royal Highness King Wei has come down." ”
Raising his head, Fang Xuanling put down the scroll in his hand, "Please come in, King Wei." ”
After receiving the report from the porter, Li Tai hurriedly walked into Fang Xuanling's study, "Fang Xiang." ”
Fang Xuanling asked indifferently, "His Royal Highness King Wei, what happened here?" ”
"Fang Xiang, I thought about it all night, why did you say that my father asked Li Zheng to raise horses?"
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Tai with a smile and said, "His Royal Highness King Wei is a smart person, and he will not be ignorant of His Majesty's intentions. ”
Li Tai said anxiously: "Now the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are opposing such a family matter, Li Zheng's credit is not small, my father wants to marry Li Zheng to Li Zheng, and it doesn't matter if Li Zheng is not promoted, why let Li Zheng raise horses." ”
"His Royal Highness King Wei should go and ask Your Majesty, why did you come to ask the old man? The old man didn't dare to ask about His Majesty's family affairs. ”
Li Tai looked at Fang Xuanling, who had a calm expression, and wanted to say that this matter must have your plan.
But since Fang Xuanling said so, he didn't want to ask more.
Wei Zheng found Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Li Zheng's position to marry a princess like this." ”
Li Shimin smiled and said, "I haven't made an order yet, and you all have been talking about it one by one." ”
Wei Zheng said again: "Empress Eldest Sun went to see Li Zheng, Your Majesty ordered the Ministry of Rites to choose a date, isn't it this marriage that is being prepared?" The whole dynasty is discussing, if it is not for the marriage to Li Zheng, why does His Majesty keep those recitals for a long time. ”
Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "I have seen it, you ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all mentioning the views of the family, Li Zheng is from a humble background, and in your eyes, Li Zheng is just a courtier who is fortunate to be promoted by his talent. ”
Wei Zhengsan was silent.
Li Shimin said again: "Who my daughter marries is originally my family matter. ”
Wei Zheng said again: "There is no trivial matter in the Heavenly Family. ”
Li Shimin nodded and looked out the window, "Yes, there is no trivial matter in the heavenly family." ”
