Fang Fourteen, the slender sheep Xiaofeng came in with makeup, the eyebrows were picturesque, the beautiful backdo, decorated with small clusters of honeysuckle hairpins, the fine silk brocade large sleeves were wide and elegant, the skirt under the cluster flowers was long and thin, and the legs and knees were outlined when walking, and the cloud shoulders were draped, soft and light, with the breath of the cold night in early spring, like a fairy from the Guanghan Palace, Yingying walked to the edge of Zhou Xuanbu, and bowed down in front of the emperor Li.

The main hall of King Jing's Mansion was silent, and everyone in the hall was shocked by the pure beauty of Yang Xiaofeng.

Li nodded secretly: "It's really stunning, I'm afraid that in the entire Jinling City, only my beloved daughter Huzhu can compare with this woman, queen——"

Li also wanted to compare his little Zhou Hou with the little sheep in front of him, thinking about it, how could the mother of a country be compared with a humble prostitute, so he didn't think about it anymore, and said: "Yang Xiao, since you are the favorite concubine of King Jing, why did you elope with Zhou Xuan, such a day, twilight, and watery?" ”

Yang Xiaoying's lips opened lightly and said two words: "No." ”

Li was still waiting for her to say later, but she didn't expect her to lower her eyelashes and purse her lips, which was the end of the answer.

Zhou Xuan said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the grass people, this small prostitute is quiet by nature, sometimes she doesn't speak for several days, she only caresses silk and bamboo, Your Majesty's subjects are tens of millions, and you must know that there are many people with this kind of quirky ringworm, can you allow the grass people to answer on her behalf, if the grass people have half a lie, Your Majesty will punish the crime - but please ask His Royal Highness King Jing to say it first, respect first." ”

King Jing Li Kun looked at the beautiful Yang Xiaoqi, and was really angry in his heart, he knew that this was the case, and forcibly cleaned up the woman on the boat. said: "Uncle still can't trust his nephew, my nephew has been honest since he was a child, He once told a lie in front of his uncle, this woman is indeed my favorite concubine, and when he got off the boat this morning, he was snatched away by the madman Zhou Xuan and injured his nephew." Holding up the red and swollen right palm to the emperor to beg for mercy.

Zhou Xuanxin said: "I just smacked your hand, why did it swell like this?" Did you come back and clip the door a few times? He said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the ancients said that if you believe in it, you will be dark." Listen to it and make it clear'. Your Majesty is benevolent. Naturally, he would give the grass people a chance to speak, and the grass people didn't know that he was His Royal Highness King Jing at the time, how could the grass people be King Jing with such an arrogant and domineering person, and robbed the grass people's maids, not to mention, and instructed his subordinates to beat the grass people, causing the grass people's leg bones to crack, and the pain was broken with a little force. As for King Jing's hand, it was accidentally sprained when beating the grass people, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can testify for the grass people. ”

Li Jian responded very smartly: "Father, Brother Wang's hand was indeed sprained when he hit Zhou Xuan. These words only proved the last sentence that Zhou Xuan said, but in Li's ears, it would naturally be understood that Zhou Xuan's leg was also injured by King Jing's men.

"Zhou Xuan, you are talking nonsense!" Li Kun shouted: "This king didn't do anything to you at all, your legs." Hum. I guess I went back and injured myself to frame this king. ”

Just now, Mr. Gan Simou, the first think tank under King Jing, saw Zhou Xuan's legs sitting on a splint and came in. Then he whispered to King Jing: "Your Highness, this Zhou Xuan is a ruthless person, in order to clear his guilt, he did not hesitate to break his legs!" ”

In the eyes of the scheming Gan Simou, this is naturally Zhou Xuan's bitter trick, didn't he also instruct King Jing to act in such a crazy hanging? With his own heart, even King Jing smashed his fingers with paperweight and jade in order to win the emperor's trust, so how could they have thought that Zhou Xuan would dare to bully the king so boldly, just pretending to tie a splint?

Zhou Xuan pretended to laugh wildly, and said sadly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, why did the grass people smash their legs? Isn't the grass people's body skin affected by their parents, and they want to harm themselves so cheaply? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't been there at that time, the grass people would probably have been beaten to death! ”

Li didn't believe that Li Kun would do such a thing, after all, Li Kun had been gentle and humble under his knees for many years, how could he suddenly make such a ridiculous act? Even if it is true, it was the favorite concubine who was taken away, and he did not restrain his entourage under the rage, causing Zhou Xuan to be injured, and immediately said: "The cause of this matter is this Yang Xiaoqi - Zhou Xuan, you said that Yang Xiaoqi is your concubine, what evidence is there?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "The grass people have evidence, but they must first get the permission of His Majesty the Emperor before they dare to show it." ”

Li Dao: "I just want you to show evidence. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, please see-" turned his head to Yang Xiaofeng and said, "Xiaofeng, kiss me." ”

Yang Xiaofeng's long eyelashes fluttered quickly like butterfly wings, his cheeks were flushed, he knelt on the ground with his hands, leaned over and printed a little cherry lips on Zhou Xuan's cheeks.

The people in the hall were stunned by the sound of "uproar", this is too shocking, this is in front of the emperor!

Zhou Xuan said: "Please ask His Majesty the Emperor to forgive the grass people for the crime of being arrogant and rude, this is the evidence presented by the grass people, it is a living witness, if His Royal Highness King Jing can ask Yang Xiaofeng to take a step closer to him, then even if the grass people lose, you can convict the grass people of robbing King Jing's favorite concubine." ”

Li Xin said: "This Zhou Xuan is really a madman, but it's really interesting." Nodding, looking at Li Kun, he asked inquiringly.

Li Kun knew that he couldn't call Yang Xiaofeng, and said angrily: "This cheap maid disobeyed the king on the boat, and the king punished her slightly, but she turned her back on the lord and turned to others, uncle, this kind of cheap maid can be given to death!" ”

Zhou Xuan sneered: "His Royal Highness King Jing, Yang Xiaofeng is my local concubine, she was deceived by you to get on the boat, she thought of the kindness of the grass people, refused to succumb to your obscenity, was loyal and unyielding, she was really a virgin and a martyr, Your Majesty, the grass people asked Your Majesty to issue a decree to commend Yang Xiaofeng——"

Li shouted lightly: "Nonsense! Asked Li Kun: "Kun'er, where did you get this woman?" I haven't seen it in your house before. ”

Li Kun knew when he could lie and when he had to tell the truth, and said, "This is my nephew's concubine in Xinna, Pengze County." ”

Zhou Xuan told Yang Xiaofeng about following him into Beijing, and did his best to sensationalize it, and even made the maids of King Jing's Mansion who were present cry, and Yang Xiaofeng also had tears in her beautiful eyes and stared at Zhou Xuan deeply.

Without saying anything, Zhou Xuan talked about the excitement, affectionately recalled the scene of the first encounter with Yang Xiaofeng, and recited the words of "Butterfly Love Flower" that was shocked by Yang Xiaofeng on the Tengwang Pavilion.

Li listened with great interest, fighting poetry to win the beauty. Elegant move, chanted: "Slender Yan Ji is fifteen years old, accustomed to dragging long skirts, not slender steps." Everyone looked at it, and the color of the world was like dust - good words, describing this woman's state of captivating the country and the city very vividly. ”

Zhou Xuan said loudly: "Thank you Your Majesty the Emperor for your compliment." ”

Li Shen groaned: "It seems that this matter is a misunderstanding, Kun'er is not wrong, because he doesn't know that Yang Xiao is Zhou Xuan's concubine." As for Zhou Xuan. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that. That's it, Kun'er, I promised to find another beautiful concubine for you, so don't force this girl, how about it? ”

Li Kun knew that he was losing tonight, and there was no way to take Zhou Xuan, and if he continued to die, it would affect his good image in Li's eyes. immediately said: "Uncle handled it very well, this matter is reckless on the part of the nephew, and the nephew should make amends to Zhou Gongzi." "Pretending to struggle to get up.

Li hurriedly asked the internal officials to hold Li Kun down and said: "Kun'er is really broad-minded, he can change his mistakes, and he is very good, Jian'er, you have to take your brother as a model." It's better to be humble and humble about it. ”

Li Jian bowed and said, "Erchen knows. I thought, "My wicked brother can afford to take it and let it go." The face changes very quickly, shamelessly, I can't do it. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Your Majesty." The grass people's leg injury became like this, King Jing was naturally not wrong, but his entourage could not escape the blame, and the grass people were not convinced. ”

Zhou Xuan's courage is really not small, and he dares to disagree, but what he said is reasonable, Li thought about it, and called: "Gan Simou-"

that

Gan Simou was taken aback, took a few steps, bowed down and said, "The grass people are here." ”

Li Dao: "You are a guest of King Jing's Mansion, you often follow King Jing, King Jing's entourage beats Zhou Xuan, a chess player selected by the Fenghua Army, if you don't dissuade it in time, you will not escape the responsibility, and you will have twenty canes." ”

"Ahh Gan Simou opened his mouth and stammered, even if he had a thousand tricks at this time, he couldn't use it.

Li Kun hurriedly said: "Uncle, for the sake of Mr. Gan who has been with his little nephew for many years, let him be tortured in King Jing's Mansion." ”

Li knew that Gan Simou would not be punished in King Jing's Mansion, even if the spine staff was also a fake beating, he nodded and said: "Yes, Kun'er, you are so good to recuperate and recuperate, you can't look for death and life like that, and despise the body given by your parents, do you hear?" ”

Li Kun swallowed his anger and said: "Uncle has taught me a lesson, and my nephew has been taught." ”

Li Dao: "Go back to the palace - Jin Wuwei, so I can carry Zhou Qing back to my residence." ”

Li Jian said: "Father, let the sons send Zhou Xuan back, and also apologize on behalf of Brother Wang." ”

Li Kun hated itchy.

Li nodded and said, "It's okay." Said to Zhou Xuan: "After Zhou Qing's leg injury heals, I will summon you into the palace to talk about poetry and lyrics. ”

The two Jin Wuwei carried Zhou Xuan, and Yang Xiaofeng supported Zhou Xuan's steps, and went out to the gate of King Jing's Mansion together, and after sending the emperor back to the palace, Li Jiancai and Judge Fan, Gu Changshi and others who had been waiting outside sent Zhou Xuan back to Mochou Lake.

Judge Fan didn't know what happened in King Jing's mansion after Zhou Xuan entered, but when he saw Zhou Xuan come out unharmed, Prince Li Jian smiled at the corner of his mouth, as if he was suppressing joy, he knew that it was okay for the time being, and the difficulties were over, not only relieved.

Back to the residence by Mochou Lake, Lin Heishan, the three idiots, and the four idiots have been waiting there, Xiaoxiang and Laifu are also waiting, seeing Zhou Xuan come back, the three idiots and the four idiots are relieved, but Xiaoxiang and Laifu are shocked, they don't know that Zhou Xuan pretended to break his legs, thinking that Zhou Xuan was beaten like this, and exclaimed: "Uncle-", Xiaoxiang cried even louder.

Zhou Xuan didn't stand up immediately and said, "I'm fine, Xiaoxiang don't cry, come here, I'll talk to you." ”

Xiaoxiang leaned her head over while wiping her tears, only to hear her uncle say in her ear: "Fool, I pretended." ”

Xiaoxiang looked at Zhou Xuan blankly, and suddenly laughed, and felt that she couldn't laugh, so she pretended to cry again, her acting skills were clumsy, and her crying was very fake.

Zhou Xuan, Li Jian, Judge Fan, and Lin Heishan entered the small hall and retreated from their entourage, Li Jian laughed loudly, leaning forward and backward with laughter, and said while laughing: "Brother Xuan, today is the fastest day in my brother's life, Brother Xuan's wisdom is unmatched, my brother has never seen my brother Wang give in so much, and he also put the old traitor with a slick and a twenty spine stick, sweeping Li Kun's face, haha, it's so happy, it's too happy!" Rejoice my heart! Brother Xuan is really a god and a man! ”

Zhou Xuan ripped off the splint on his leg and said with a smile: "Brother Jian, don't be too happy, King Jing's counterattack will be very fierce, this is like a game of chess, we took advantage of the first local contact battle, but the chessboard is still very large, the chess game is very long, the opponent is strong, the post office is very cunning, and I can't be careless." ”

Li Jian smiled and said solemnly: "Brother Xuan is right, my evil brother will definitely find another trouble to embarrass us." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "It must be embarrassing for me, and if you hit me, you will naturally give you color." ”

Li Jian said: "Brother Xuan, don't worry, my brother is desperate to keep my brother safe - in fact, Brother Xuan is helping me!" Brother Xuan, since the Lushan descending, my brother has already regarded you as a brother, tonight, we will officially become brothers, right? Judge Fan, prepare the incense case. ”

Zhou Xuan held Li Jian's hand and said: "There is no need for those red tape, friends are friends, the most important thing is to know each other, I have long regarded you as a brother of the opposite sex, and I will help you defeat King Jing and enter Daxing Palace safely in the future." ”

Li Jian burst into tears and shouted, "Brother Xuan, please accept my brother's worship." "I took a kneeling salute.

Zhou Xuan also hurriedly knelt down to return the salute, and then both stood up, looked at each other and smiled.

Zhou Xuan pulled Lin Heishan over on the side and said, "Brother Heishan is my brother-in-law. ”

Li Jian did not hesitate and shouted: "Brother Black Mountain." "Do a great salute too.

Bluffing Lin Heishan hurriedly held Li Jian, and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, don't torture the young general." ”

Li Jian said: "You are my brother Xuan's brother-in-law, and naturally you are also my brother-in-law." ”

This night, Li Jian and Zhou Xuan had a long talk, it turned out that Li Jian did not tell Li about the abduction in Jiangzhou, because it was too shameful for this matter to spread, he only secretly sent someone to track down the culprit behind the scenes, but there was no clue.

Li Jian hated and said: "There is a good chance that this matter was instructed by Li Kun, if I die, my father and the emperor have no other heirs, of course, he will enter the East Palace, but I can't find direct evidence, so I can't do anything about him." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Li Kun is very good at acting, he is well disguised in front of the emperor, we have to find a way to let the emperor see through his face, don't worry, I will find a way, the fox tail will definitely be exposed." ”

Zhou Xuan asked the various factions in the DPRK and the central government again, Wei Xuan, the left minister of Dongtai, is Li Kun's father-in-law, and there is no way to win him over, and the right minister Zhongshu ordered Qi Zhang to fight for it, Zhou Xuan said: "Brother Jian, since Li Kun has found Wei's daughter, why don't you marry Qi Zhang's daughter as the crown princess?" You are not young anymore, why didn't His Majesty the Emperor find you a competent relative? ”

Li Jian said: "Brother Xuan doesn't know, my brother already has a princess, who is the daughter of Shen Sikong, although Shen Sikong is ranked as the third prince and highly respected, but he has no real power, so my brother wants to marry a side concubine, but Qi Zhang only has one daughter, who is very old, and has already married Hubu Yun Shilang as his wife." ”

Zhou Xuan asked: "Qi Zhang's daughter is very old?" Does Yun Shilang have a daughter? It's even better to marry, and in one fell swoop, you will win over the right minister and the head of the household. ”

Li Jian said embarrassedly: "Yun Shilang has a daughter, who seems to be only six or seven years old. ”

Zhou Xuan said "oh": "Six or seven years old is indeed a little younger, Brother Jian, you can't wait, right, what other high-ranking officials in the court have suitable daughters?" ”

Li Jian said: "My brother thinks that Fenghua Junlin Duhu is very reliable, then Second Miss Lin-"

When Zhou Xuan heard this, he felt unhappy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Brother Jian, Miss Lin Er can't marry, and if she marries, it will be bad?" ”

Li Jian asked, "Why is this?" Is it said that Miss Lin Er is too willful? ”

Zhou Xuan said eloquently: "It has nothing to do with Miss Lin Er, the foolish brother is based on the general trend of the Tang Kingdom, the ten major feudal towns of the Tang Kingdom are all the dominant side, if you marry the daughter of the woodland, the other feudal lords will definitely suspect you of favoring one over the other, but it is not good, but let the other nine feudal towns centrifuge, although you have to Fenghua Army to die, but alienate the other nine major feudal towns, it is more than worth the loss, not only the Fenghua Army, but the daughters of the other nine major festival envoys can't marry, and you can only marry the daughter of the middle of the court." ”

Li Jian thought about it, and felt that what Zhou Xuan said was reasonable, and said: "Then the junior brother will go back to the palace and let people check the daughters of officials above the second rank to see if there is any suitable one." ”

Zhou Xuan was relieved: "That's right." ”

Li Jian frowned again and said, "But my brother really likes Miss Lin Hanyun's lively and lively state, and it's really hard to give up." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Lin Hanyun is still young, and he is not married, what are you anxious about, it is a big deal to get King Jing first, otherwise, even if you marry Lin Hanyun, once the disaster breaks Xiao Wall, I am afraid that Lin Hanyun will suffer together." ”

Li Jian said in horror: "What Brother Xuan taught me is that my brother knows that he is wrong. ”

Zhou Xuan Yangtian snorted, feeling that he was really noble, selflessly thinking about Li Jian, he was simply doing his best and racking his brains!
