…

Recently, Li Yan has been staying overnight in the Western Summer Palace.

The reason why Li Yan lingered in the Xixia Palace, in addition to political needs, was also because Liang Xianxian and Liang Shishi really made Li Yan very infatuated.

To paraphrase Li Yan's original words, the two of them are really like a goblin, and if they are not careful, they fall into their way, and then they die of ecstasy.

Compared with the two goblins Liang Xianxian and Liang Shishi, Li Qinglu, who has not yet grown up, is too young and immature.

But—

Li Qinglu also has the advantage of Li Qinglu.

First of all, Li Yan's recipes are too miscellaneous - Li Yan likes goblins like Liang Xianxian and Liang Shishi, as well as half-grown loli like Li Qinglu.

Secondly, through contact, Li Yan found that Li Qinglu is very kind, and Li Yan has always been not deceitful, and even likes to protect kind people (of course, the premise is that there is no serious conflict), so, from the bottom of his heart, Li Yan is more willing to protect Li Qinglu.

Again, the ten handmaidens who Li Qinglu married are very interesting, all of them are extremely smart, and their appearance is the best choice.

In the end, Li Qinglu has a Xixia behind her, which is her biggest advantage.

Therefore, although Li Yan has been staying overnight in Xixia Palace during this time, he still sleeps with Li Qinglu more often than Liang Xianxian and Liang Shishi.

Now, the dust has settled on the Sino-Xia alliance.

Li Yan has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land to irrigate, and he can't always water these fields in Western Xia.

Therefore, after going down to the court today, Li Yan did not go to the Xixia Palace again, but came to the Kunning Palace.

Unfortunately, when Li Yan arrived at Kunning Palace, Liu Huiniang was not in the palace - she went to Fan Yan's house to see Li Cun.

Now, Li Cun is also thirteen years old.

In this era, Thirteen is already an adult, and in some families even marry wives and have children to serve as the pillars.

Not only Li Cun, but many of Li Yan's sons are now over ten years old.

According to the etiquette, they all had to move out of the palace to live.

It also makes it easier for them to be independent.

And Fan Yan Mansion is their residence.

This Fan Yan house, located in the outer city, connected to the imperial city by a sandwich road, was originally the residence of Zhao Ji's princes, which was built by Tong Guan during the Zhenghe period - at that time, Zhao Ji's sons also grew up, and it was appropriate to live outside, so the king's mansion was built.

It is said that at that time, because Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, was the most favored by Zhao Ji, his mansion was built the most grandiose, and some people speculated that Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, was likely to replace the crown prince Zhao Heng in the future.

In order to prevent similar things from happening, Li Yan ordered people to triple the size of the mansion where Zhao Huan lived (for which the two mansions next to it were also demolished), and then let Li Cun move in.

In other words, Li Yan told the world very clearly: Don't look at my many sons, but there is only one one who will inherit my throne in the future, and that is my eldest son Li Cun.

In addition to clarifying Li Cun's position as the crown prince, Li Yan was also extremely attentive to Li Cun's education - Li Yan didn't want the dynasty he established to be like the Qin Dynasty, which only went through two generations and then perished.

Take Teacher Li Cunxuan as an example.

After thinking about it, Li Yansi did not let Wen Huanzhang, Zhao Ding, Xu Guanzhong and other people with high character be Li Cun's teacher, but let Sun Jing, who is known as Sun Hedgehog, be Li Cun's enlightenment teacher.

In addition, Li Yan prepared to teach Li Cun himself when he was a little older.

(A few years later, Li Cun got a serious illness and almost didn't survive, Li Yan considered that the lives of people in this era were too fragile, so he chose some good qualifications from his children and grandchildren, and cultivated them in the same way to serve as Li Cun's spare tire, but this is a later story, so let's not talk about it for the time being.) ）

Seeing that Liu Huiniang was not there, Li Yan was not in a hurry.

There is a rule in the harem that those who leave the palace to visit their children must not exceed two hours, and they must be accompanied by ten female guards.

Needless to say, this is to prevent harem women from cheating.

This rule was formulated by Liu Huiniang, and Liu Huiniang will not take the lead in disrespecting.

Therefore, it won't be long before Liu Huiniang will come back.

Therefore, Li Yan did not leave just yet, but wandered around the Kunning Palace......

Unconsciously, Li Yan came to a courtyard.

In the middle of this courtyard, there is a gazebo, in which a woman sits with her back to Li Yan.

Looking at the woman's back, Li Yan found that she was tall and colorful.

There are too many beauties that Li Yan has come into contact with, and Li Yan's senses are countless times stronger than ordinary people, so that Li Yan can now judge whether a woman is a beauty just by her back.

Taking this woman in the pavilion as an example, Li Yan dared to say that it was very likely that she was a peerless beauty.

Moreover, the woman in the pavilion exuded a strong bookish atmosphere.

This kind of bookish atmosphere, Li Yan has only seen it from a woman.

This woman is Li Qingzhao.

And the woman in front of her is obviously not Li Qingzhao - she is a little taller than Li Qingzhao, and Li Yan knows that Li Qingzhao, who was separated from him just now, is not in the palace now, but has gone to the Great Ceremony Repair Institute.

In fact, these are not the things that attract Li Yan's attention the most about this woman.

What attracted Li Yan's attention the most was that this woman was wearing a palace dress that only Li Yan's concubine could wear!

Although Li Yan has a lot of concubines, there are only a few dozen - concubines are not the same as concubines, the status of concubines is second only to the queen, and ordinary people are not qualified to be Li Yan's concubines at all, just like those princesses and emperors who died in the country, and now the vast majority of them are just some second- and third-class Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Xiuyuan, Xiuyi, Xiuyi, Chongyuan, Wanrong, Wanyi, Shunrong, Guiyi, Jieyu.

Among his dozens of concubines, Li Yan could tell who they were with his eyes closed.

Therefore, Li Yan was sure that he must have never seen this concubine in the pavilion with his back to himself.

This couldn't help but arouse Li Yan's curiosity.

So, Li Yan raised his legs and walked towards the pavilion.

After a short time, Li Yan came to the pavilion.

It turns out -

The woman in the pavilion is setting up a flag game, that is, she is playing Go with herself.

The woman was very attentive.

So much so that she didn't find Li Yan until Li Yan came to her.

But—

Even so, the woman did not panic at all, but slowly stood up very steadily, and then respectfully saluted Li Yan, and said at the same time: "The concubine greets Your Majesty." ”

Seeing the woman's appearance, Li Yan's eyes lit up!

Li Yan guessed correctly, the woman is a rare beauty in the world, elegant, dignified, intellectual, and beautiful.

At the same time, Li Yan also confirmed another thing - he had not seen her.

Li Yan didn't rush to let the woman get up, but looked at the chess game she was arranging.

At first, Li Yan didn't think much of this game of chess.

But just when Li Yan was about to retract his gaze, Li Yan was so fierce that he looked back at this game of chess!

The more he looked, the more Li Yan's brows wrinkled.

After a long time, Li Yan turned his head to look at the woman on the side and asked, "Why do you want to put such a flag?" ”

The woman said in a calm tone: "The concubine is just playing casually." ”

Li Yan looked at the woman for a while, and then said, "Then how about you and I finish this game of chess?" ”

The woman was really different, she didn't push like many laymen, but said very simply: "Your Majesty, please." ”

Glancing at the woman's pretty face, Li Yan sat down opposite the woman, and then said, "You hold white, I hold black, you go down first." ”

When the woman heard this, she didn't go to get the chess pieces, but said very boldly: "If according to what Your Majesty said, this game of chess does not need to be played, Your Majesty has already lost." ”
