Chapter Ninety-Eight: Four or Two Thousand Pounds (II)

What is the natural enemy of the old man, not poverty, not illness, not death, but loneliness, loneliness is the nostalgia for family affection after insight into the vicissitudes of the world, Li Longji is like this, since the death of Concubine Wu Hui, he has been in loneliness, it has been almost ten years, he lacks women the most, but what he lacks the most is women, he needs a woman who can understand him and know his heart, Yang Yuhuan is his daughter-in-law, but this woman has allowed him to find a home in his twilight years. He ordered his son to divorce her, and he sent her as the Tao, and it has been five years, but the mouth of the world, even if there are thousands of years, how can it be a 'block'.

Li Longji sat in front of the jade case, mentioning the Zhu pen on the edict of the new concubine of King Shou, and criticized the word 'Xu' on his eyebrows, he put the pen down gently, and his heart fell, "From now on, Yuhuan and Mao'er have nothing to do with it." ”

Today is Shangyuan Night, it is the day of family reunion, Yuhuan went to reunite with his family, but today is the day of the lover's meeting, Li Longji has sent Gao Lishi to pick up Yang Yuhuan and her family, this is a double benefit, he can't help but be secretly proud of his arrangement.

Sitting back in front of the case, I saw that there was an edict to be approved on my left, that was to set up Li Jingyan as the princess of Pingyang, less than three hours after he nodded and agreed, this edict was ready to be sent, the efficiency of the book province was unprecedented, this is naturally Li Linfu's strength, Li Longji sneered slightly, he was worried about the matter at the time, but he didn't react, now it seems that Li Linfu is so enthusiastic about the county lord of Pingyang, and it is also 'Xiangzhuang Dancing Sword, intended to Pei Gong', Li Lin and Taidi have a close relationship. Li Longji already knew, but he didn't interfere, after all, Li Linfu was the prime minister alone, and he needed a containment, otherwise the Manchu Dynasty and the military were all under the Xiangguo, so what is he Li Longji, Li Linfu is one of his dogs, but this dog must also be knocked properly. A dog that goes crazy can bite even its owner.

It was his intention to dig up the Liu Sheng case, it was his intention to belittle Han Chaozong, and it was also his intention to teach Li Shizhi to knock Tai, but Li Linfu seemed to have embarked on the devil's path, and he actually secretly played Wang Zhonghei to support Litai, and the person sent by Li Longji just returned. There was no such thing at all, and it was not until this edict that was concocted in only three hours was put on Li Longji's case that he realized that Li Linfu had gone a little crazy recently.

Li Longji remembered the living record of the Tainei Palace again, Li Linfu's brother Li Daofu actually protected smuggling, if this matter spread, Li Linfu's phase would be difficult to protect, and this was what he didn't want to see, 'That's it!' Let's play a game! 'Strike Li Shizhi's appearance and let Wang Zhonghei go. Li Longji had made up his mind, and he picked up the pen casually. But the edict in front of him made him hesitate. Do you want to approve it?

At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps at the door, it was Gao Lishi who was back, and the jade ring was also here, Li Longji was hot for a while, and he no longer had the heart to take care of state affairs, so he threw down his pen and got up with a smile and said: "Get up, go back to the palace!" ”

.

"Fourth sister. Do you really live here? ”

Yang Huahua exclaimed, and she looked all the way. Her eyes were blazing early, and she saw the picturesque scenery by the Taiye Pool, the red walls and yellow tiles were magnificent, and a large group of guards hugged the carriage left and right, which made her have the illusion that she was driving a large group of heroic men. These palace guards are tall and handsome, I don't know how many times stronger than her brother in the countryside, Yang Huahua thought of her dilapidated courtyard again, remembered the section of the wall that was climbed down, she could no longer suppress her yearning for a better life, and actually gave birth to the idea of living here forever.

Yang Yuhuan has been silent, she is also used to being silent, but she is thinking about Li Qing's wishes in her heart, is the emperor really willing to change and make peace plans for himself? She is really not sure, if the emperor does not agree, he will apologize for his benefactor, Yang Yuhuan thought of Li Jingyan again, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, she has already heard of the name of this cold county lord, and it is said that she has countless suitors, but she does not pretend to anyone, even the new champion is crazy about her, she is so indifferent, there is someone to save her when she is in trouble, Yang Yuhuan thought of Li Qing again, such a man is rare, now his relationship with the emperor is known to the world, such an opportunity, he did not ask for an official for himself, A Jiannan Jiedu Mansion joined the army a little, and he actually had this kind of arrogance, Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly, this is indeed a different man.

She thought of the eyes she saw when the curtain was lifted, her eyes were full of appreciation and admiration, without any disguise, as if she was looking at a daughter next door, without the timidity and dodging of the subordinates, only San Lang dared to look at herself like this, somehow, she didn't have the slightest displeasure with Li Qing.

Yang Huahua's exclamation interrupted her train of thought, Yang Yuhuan looked at her sister who was intoxicated with wealth, her brows furrowed slightly, she pulled the curtain and smiled at her brother who was silent: "Old Five, do you like it here?" ”

Yang Mo snorted, "I don't like it, I'm so depressed, I'm a little worried about my mother's body, fourth sister, I want to go back." ”

Yang Yuhuan nodded, turned back to Yang Huahua and said, "Third sister, you can go back after dinner!" ”

The carriage stopped in front of the Ayaqi Palace, and a big eunuch hurried over with his head bowed, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the emperor is here!" ”

Li Longji's dragon drive had come from afar, parked next to Yang Yuhuan's car, he looked like a thirty-year-old strong man, without waiting for the support of the eunuch, he actually jumped off the car in one step, and laughed: "Seeing Yuhuan's figure, I seem to be thirty years younger." ”

His youthful actions had already frightened a group of eunuch guards into the face of earth, but everyone's hearts seemed to be thirty years old.

Yang Yuhuan was weak, and with the support of the maid, Ying Ying gave a salute and whispered to Li Longji: "Yuhuan has seen Your Majesty." ”

Her knees are delicate, and she can't rub the oily skin, but the guards and eunuchs in the back have to kneel even if their legs are broken, and the black pressure has already knelt for a large time, Li Longji is afraid that the beauties' legs are sore, so he hurriedly hugged Yuhuan, Yang Huahua next to him doesn't understand etiquette, although he knelt down, his face was half raised, and two dissolute and indulgent eyes shot out obliquely, delicately peeling off this man who controls the world, his eyes are majestic, his bearing is graceful and luxurious, and his whole body exudes irresistible power, Yang Huahua is confused, and there is an urge to throw himself into his arms.

Li Longji felt something, his eyes were slightly slanted, he had already seen Yang Huahua, and he saw her pretty face, two rows of small teeth like shells, born in a bright small mouth, a pair of charming eyes staring at himself unscrupulously, with a hint of wildness, his eyes were so hot that he seemed to melt himself, Li Longji has seen all the ladies and ladies in his life, or he has lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, or he is sitting upright, or he is afraid of the king like a tiger, and this kind of bold and provocative gaze is the first time he has seen it, like a dish of wild vegetables, which makes Li Longji, who is tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, suddenly feel a little interested, He smiled and picked up Yang Huahua, "Yuhuan, is this your third sister?" Not bad! Not bad! It's as gorgeous as a mountain flower. ”

Yang Huahua was intoxicated by Li Longji's imperial spirit, let him help himself up, and put her slender fingers on Li Longji's smooth and jade-like wrist, her amorous nature was suddenly irrepressibly revealed, and she quietly pinched Li Longji's arm, Li Longji was stunned, and a feeling of cheating in broad daylight flowed through his whole body like an electric current, his heart was agitated, and his hands trembled slightly.

.

.

In the evening, the sun had set, there were a few bright stars twinkling in the sky, a full moon had just risen, and the blood-red afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on the towering Chang'an city wall, shining tiredly and sadly.

On the embroidery floor in the backyard of the Sining Palace, Li Jingyan, the heroine of the three-sided wrestling, is leaning in front of the window, looking at the golden western sky with attachment, and the silk curtain embroidered with broken flowers is like a gentle hand, fluttering with the wind, in An

The sad maiden, the backyard was quiet, and a few small birds were combing their feathers in the trees, chirping quickly, flapping their wings, and flying away quickly.

All of them are alive, but she is going to die, and all of them have tomorrow, but there is a darkness in front of her, and that one by one, connected to the darkness that reaches infinity, tomorrow, when the birds will sing on the branches, and when the morning sun stains the treetops yellow, and scatters countless pearls on the water, she will never be able to see all this.

Die! She would rather die than marry that ugly man, the afterglow shining beside her face, reflecting a golden red brilliance, and her deep gaze revealed a fortitude that she had not seen in seventeen years, and shimmered with inviolable coldness.

At this time, there was a sound of broken footsteps at the top of the stairs, it was her personal maid Qiu Xing who came upstairs, "County Lord, the prince asked you to go to the lobby for dinner." ”

After a while, Li Jingyan said slowly: "Go and tell my father, saying that I don't want to eat and won't go." ”

Qiu Xing hesitated, "There are a few guests in the hall, it seems that they are related to the county lord, and the prince can't keep them, so let the county lord hurry over." ”

"A guest related to me?" Li Jingyan immediately understood, this must be the official eunuch boy who his father was in a hurry to marry him, who dares to marry him now, he who knows the news will not come, and a few came by chance, and now he finds that something is wrong, so naturally he can't keep them.

Li Jingyan sneered, there were so many suitors in Su Ri, all of them swore to the sky. Only now did he reveal his original ground eyes, and even Cen Shen, who could barely see it, didn't dare to come.

"Tell my father that I won't go! Tell him again, don't ask anyone, I, Li Jingyan, will never marry someone wronged! ”

.

"Lord Wang, today is Shangyuan Night, I still have something at home, and I will come to the door another day to make amends."

.

"I almost forgot. My family has an ancestral training that does not go out when the moon is full, and today is fourteen, and I want to go back quickly. ”

.

A few fresh-clothed teenagers were looking for all excuses to escape tonight's feast, and the threshold of the palace that they had been unattainable on weekdays suddenly disappeared, and the glory at their fingertips immediately depreciated sharply, and the more than three hundred invitations issued by King Ning Ning. Only less than ten people came to the banquet, the emperor intended to let the lord of Pingyang and the pro-Khitan, this news seemed to have wings, and flew all over Chang'an City in one day, and several people who came to the banquet were born with immunity to the grapevine, so they rushed to come, but found that the atmosphere was different, and the immunity disappeared immediately, so. Escaping the palace was the only priority.

"Father, let them go!"

Li Zhao persuaded his father, who almost lost his mind. If it continues like this, it will become the laughing stock of Chang'an.

Li Lin sighed and gave up the block. A few teenagers were empty, sneaking away, the hall was empty, and the sumptuous banquet became an ornament.

Dozens of maids and servants looked at each other, no one dared to speak, and the air in the hall seemed to freeze, embarrassed to the extreme.

"Lord Wang! There was another young man outside, and there was no invitation. It was said that the master asked him to come. ”

Li Lin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood. This must be Li Qing coming, and he said repeatedly: "Please!" Please come in! ”

While speaking, Li Qing had already walked in with a smile, carrying a few unknown gifts in his hand, which he got from Yang Mansion at noon, like his hairy son-in-law who came to the door for the first time.

"Let the prince wait for a long time, Li Qing doesn't know the way, it's late, it's late."

He swept his eyes towards the lobby, only to see a sea of meat and wine, a dazzling array of vegetables and fruits, and his eyes couldn't help but show a touched look, "How can I eat so much by myself, the prince is too polite!" So gracious! ”

"Alas! Don't mention it. "Be hearty."

He pulled over and introduced: "This is my Li Yan, nicknamed Tiger Gun, and the guard of the East Palace." ”

Li Qing saw that he was about the same age as himself, with big shoulders and a round waist, tiger eyes and a lion nose, as if shaking the sky and the lion descending from the clouds, and the polite Li Zhao judged him like two people, but he looked at him with an embarrassed face, touched the back of his head and smiled, Li Qing hurriedly bowed his hand, and felt that this person seemed to be a little familiar, 'East Palace Guard', he read it twice, and suddenly remembered that today he searched him outside the Tainei Palace, and touched him with silver and didn't return it, isn't this person!

He had nothing on him, and he walked almost half of Chang'an before he found Li Lin's mansion, and the soles of his feet hurt when he walked, and when he saw the culprit here, he was so excited that he wanted to shout: "You, you.||. Seeing that his eyes were full of begging, the hand holding his fist had turned into a double palm, so he bit the second half of the sentence hard, and said with a dry smile: "I forgot some things in the East Palace, when is Second Brother Li on duty, can you help me get it." ”

"Definitely! Certain! ”

"Stand in the courtyard and do something, please sit down!"

Li Lin was very worried, and she didn't let Li Qing go in first.

"I'm sorry bro." Li Yan saw that there was no one left and right, patted Li Qing's back, and apologized in a low voice.

"Give me back the silver."

The silver had already been divided by the brothers, Li Yan took out a gold bead from his bosom and quietly stuffed it into his hand, Li Qing understood that he would take it, and with this thing, the entanglement of going back would be solved.

Entering the lobby, it was extremely spacious, and it could accommodate 700 people to eat at the same time, Li Qing saw that there were hundreds of tableware on the long table, so he smiled and said, "Is the prince having a treat today?" If the hour doesn't come, I'll wait! ”

"Don't mention it!" If I don't appreciate it, I won't come, what can I do. ”

How can there be a reason not to come to the hospital, Li Qing couldn't help but want to ask again, next to Li Zhao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Brother Li also saw yesterday's incident, that Li Huaijie took Li Linfu's road, and got the news of the palace in the afternoon, and the emperor actually agreed to send my sister to Khitan and relatives, so my father wanted to invite some Chang'an talents, before the edict was issued, for my sister to book for life, maybe the emperor can cancel this matter, but no one will come." ”

"Zhao'er, don't say it! Today is Shangyuan Night, don't spoil the mood of the virtuous nephew. ”

Li Lin's voice trembled, his eyes couldn't help but be red, his original wife had passed away, leaving three children, he liked Li Zhao the most, but he felt the most sorry for his daughter Li Jingyan, and now his daughter was used as a political tool to marry a Khitan murderer, he had no way to appeal, and his heart was really sad.

Li Qing shook his head, helped Li Lin to sit down first, and stared at the sad old man on his knees, he smiled slightly: "Lord Wang, please relax, at the latest tomorrow, there will be news in the palace, and the county lord does not need to go to the Khitan and relatives." ”

"What did you say!"

The third father of the Li family surrounded Li Qing at once, "How do you know?" ”

Li Qing smiled, "You can't say anything about this, you just wait for the good news." ”

He still has full confidence in Yang Yuhuan, tonight, on the first night of the first year, after Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji have a lot of affection, and then blow the pillow wind, where in the world is there anything that can't be done? ”

How could the third father of the Li family spare him, even threatening with temptation, he must force him to tell the truth, and he was making a lot of trouble, and the housekeeper even crawled into the report: "Master, Father-in-law Qin sent someone!" ”

I saw a little eunuch hurriedly walk into the lobby, bow to Li Lin on his knees, and say loudly: "Gonggong Qin sent a villain to deliver a message, the emperor has just decided to cancel the county lord of Pingyang and the pro-Khitan." ”
