Chapter 230: Extinguishing the Fire
On April 23 of the second year of Xianheng, Gaozong issued an edict for the crown prince draft girl, in order to establish the crown princess, the court and the opposition coaxed the party to pass on, and the Ministry of Rites immediately went to the table, saying that Pei Lingling, the daughter of Pei Judao, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, was extremely expensive, and the prince was quite compatible, and it was a good couple of nature. The prince said to him: The great drought in Guanzhong has passed, and a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, and he can't bear to leave for a while, so he asks for a postponement of the marriage. The emperor praised it, however, insisted on the invitation, but the prince could not refuse, so he could only lead the ministers in Beijing to set off and hurried to the eastern capital, and the emperor ordered Li Xian, the king of England, and Li Xulun, the king of Yin, to preside over the suburbs.
Li Xian has participated in many times in this life, but when it comes to presiding over the overall situation, it is the first time that the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair, but what about it, in the previous life and even in the future life, Li Xian has done it many times, and he is very familiar with it, and he is very familiar with it, and he will arrange things smoothly after a few strokes, and a plan will be sent to the Ministry of Rites, even if the officials are picky, they can't find any flaws, and now everything is ready, just waiting for the arrival of the prince.
Li Xian can do the outskirts of the city, and the specific affairs can also be let go of the officials under the head to be busy, as for the various preparations in the secret, there are also Lin Hu and others to work intensively, but there is one thing that no one can do for him, that is, the lover, but this is what gives Li Xian a headache - it has been five days since he returned to Luoyang, and he sent someone to Zhao Qiong to send a few letters, but they were all like mud cows entering the sea, and there was no sound, let alone dating, even a reply with a few words was missing, as soon as such a strange thing happened, Li Xian was puzzled, and he couldn't understand what was going on.
The beauty has changed her mind? No way! Even if the sun rises in the west, Zhao Qiong will never be able to empathize with him, this self-confidence Li Xian still has, in this way, there are only two possibilities left - the beauty is angry, nine times out of ten it is related to the arrival of Princess Mingyue, otherwise, he is dissatisfied with the distant marriage date, no matter which possibility it is, Li Xian has only one choice, extinguish the fire, hurry up and extinguish the fire!
A fire in the backyard is not a trivial matter, although there is no danger of kneeling on the washboard, and it is unlikely that it will "fall the grape trellis", but the "cold war" is obviously not a fun thing, this fire must be extinguished quickly, the question is how to extinguish it is a very particular thing, directly drive the Zhao Mansion? Yes, that's not called putting out fires, but adding fuel to the fire, not to mention the risk of attracting criticism, as far as Zhao Qiong's small temperament, the custodian will determine that Li Xian is trying to suppress people, so the whole thing, if the grape trellis is not good, it will really fall, obviously, this road is not passable, even so, Li Xian has only one way to go - you don't come, let's go, the bright one can't work, the dark should always be okay, so, taking advantage of the nightfall, Comrade Li Xian changed into civilian clothes, and sneaked out of the palace without anyone, The goal was clear, and he went to the Zhao Mansion......
At the moment, the sky was completely dark, a waning moon hung obliquely in the sky, sprinkling the cold moonlight to the world, the shadows of the trees were mottled, and the courtyard was bleak, just like Zhao Qiong's heart at the moment, the mixed thoughts were entangled into a mess in his mind, and the inexplicable sourness lingered in his heart, and he was stunned to stand up into a statue in front of the window.
Why? Why? One hundred thousand why are they intertwined in Zhao Qiong's heart, like a rope that makes her heart extremely sore, although she knows that she shouldn't blame Li Xian for empathy, after all, the prince can never have only one concubine, and in the same way, she doesn't seem to have a position to blame, even if the two hearts agree, but after all, they haven't decided to marry, and they have no name at all, so they can blame others, but the truth is one thing, but feelings are another, Zhao Qiong can't, and can't drive away the dark clouds in her heart, thinking of the depths of love, Tears flowed down the white jade's flawless face unconsciously, wanton and surging.
"Squeak."
The door of the wing room rang softly, and the little girl in a green skirt Zijuan walked in from outside the door, looked at Zhao Qiong's back with a gloomy face, sighed slightly, blew out the lantern in her left hand, and put it on the wall casually, and then slowly walked to a few pieces, put a delicate food box in her right hand on a few pieces, opened the box with her hands and feet, and placed the three side dishes together with a bowl of white porridge in turn, and then walked behind Zhao Qiong lightly, bit her red lip, and called softly: "Miss, you use some porridge, The slave maid specially asked someone to prepare some cold cucumbers for you, and they are crispy, so you can use some of them. ”
"Let it go."
Zhao Qiong didn't look back, just gave a faint order, her voice hoarse and obviously with a slight trill.
"Miss, you ......, hum, it's all to blame for the fox, shameless and shameless, His Royal Highness is really, everyone brings ...... back" Zijuan has tried her best to coax Zhao Qiong to eat these days, but she has tried her best, not to mention anything else, just today's dinner has been hot twice, this time Zhao Qiong said so, he was in a hurry, and in this hurry, his mouth was not covered, and he dared to say anything.
"Purple Juan!" Zhao Qiong was annoyed in her heart, she really didn't want to hear Zijuan mention the matter of Princess Mingyue, so she couldn't help but turn her head and scolded her unhappily, but when she saw Zijuan's aggrieved little face, her heart softened again, and she couldn't bear to blame her again, so she bit her lip and sighed: "Go and get the pot of daughter Hong." ”
"Miss......"
As soon as she heard that her own lady, who had never liked alcohol, was going to drink, Zijuan was startled, her eyes were round, and she opened her mouth to persuade her.
"Go ahead, this porridge will be used later."
Without waiting for Zijuan to finish speaking, Zhao Qiong commanded in an unquestionable tone.
"Ah, yes."
Zijuan smacked his lips, and seeing that Zhao Qiong's face was unhappy, he didn't dare to say more, so he could only reluctantly respond, lifted the lantern on the wall, and after lighting the oil lamp on a few pieces, he pushed the door and went out in the dark.
"Alas......"
Looking at the small figure of Zijuan in the distance, Zhao Qiong stood silently for a long time, then shook his head, sighed, turned around and looked out the window again, but as soon as he turned around, he froze, and immediately, the whole person shook like an electric shock, just because there was a tall figure standing outside the window, except for Li Xian, who else!
"You ......"
Surprise, grievance, surprise, shyness and other emotions were intertwined, Zhao Qiong was completely stupid, and she didn't know how to face Li Xianfang for a while.
"What a silly girl!"
Looking at Zhao Qiong's obviously haggard face, Li Xian was distressed, as soon as he raised his feet, he didn't make much gesture, the person had already flashed into the room through the open window, unceremoniously hugged Zhao Qiong into his arms, and scolded lovingly.
"Ah......h
Zhao Qiong obviously didn't expect Li Xian to come so fast, and his movements were so violent, and before he came back to his senses, he was dizzy by the strong manly aura on Li Xian's body, and couldn't help but exclaim, when he was about to struggle, how could he break Li Xian's embrace, his face instantly turned red, and he buried his head in Li Xian's chest with shyness, and his silver teeth bit his red lips lightly, so ashamed that he didn't know what to do.
Speech? No, you don't! Although Li Xian is not very good at love affairs, he knows that actions are more powerful than all words, feeling the amazing elasticity of the jade man in his arms, Li Xian can't help but be a little drunk and slightly drunk, and can't help but add a little force, hugging Zhao Qiong tightly to his chest.
"Bang dang!"
I don't know how long it took, just when the two were indulging in the passion of embracing each other, a crisp cracking sound suddenly sounded, and the two of them woke up from their intoxicated state.
"Miss, you, you...... Ah, the slave didn't see anything, didn't see it, really! ”
Seeing that the person holding Zhao Qiong was Li Xian, Zijuan immediately woke up, first exclaimed, and then hurriedly reached out to cover his small mouth, looked left and right, and then, spit out his little fragrant tongue, made a grimace, and the thief laughed and joked.
"Ah......h
Zhao Qiong suddenly realized that he was still in Li Xian's arms, and he was shocked, and he hurriedly struggled, trying to break free of Li Xian's hand around his waist.
"Hey, hey."
It was not easy to hug the beauty, Li Xian let go, laughed evilly, and with a hard foot, the person had already floated out of the windowsill with Zhao Qiong, and his body was already on the roof in a flash.
"Ah, you, scoundrel!"
Zhao Qiong had never experienced such a move to control the clouds, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and when he was calm, he found that he was already on the roof, and couldn't help but be slightly annoyed, and stretched out his hand to slap Li Xian lightly, and snorted strangely.
"Qiong'er, you don't know, they all say that men are not bad, women don't love, then Qiong'er must be lonely."
Looking at Zhao Qiong's delicate face, Li Xian's heart couldn't help but swing, and the words came out without thinking about it, so ashamed that Zhao Qiong blushed like Guan Gong, and his small fist fell on Li Xian's body like raindrops, but for Li Xian, this strength was no different from tickling, and it made Li Xian laugh non-stop.
"I hate it, ignore you!"
Zhao Qiong saw that she couldn't help Li Xian, her little brows furrowed, she was angry, twisted her body, and sat on the tile surface obliquely.
Yes, the beauty is angry, whether it is true or not, this is the time to coax, don't look at Li Xian is not good at love, but he will not be stupid to the point of confusion, so he smiled, reached out and took off a small package on his back, untied the cloth, revealing a small box, turned to Zhao Qiong with a smile, squatted down, lifted the box, and revealed all kinds of small dots inside.
"Ah, it's Lee Kum Kee's jujube cake!"
Zhao Qiong was not angry, but the little daughter was in a big mood, this time Li Xian took out the pastry box, and his eyes couldn't help but be attracted to the past, and then he saw that it was all his favorite snacks on weekdays, and when he pretended to be angry, he didn't know where to go, and after a few days of tea and dinner, he was already a little hungry and panicked.
Whew, the fire is finally out! Looking at Zhao Qiong's happy appearance, Li Xian's heart couldn't help but relax, and he didn't speak, just stared at Zhao Qiong's delicate face silently, and he was stunned for a while......
