Since he got up in the morning, Li Huai sat on the bench in the courtyard one by one, watching the crowd of people busy, even Cuiping was not touching the ground, and took a few people to tidy up in the west courtyard, his leisure was particularly abrupt.
It's not that Li Huai doesn't care, it's just that there is really nothing he can interfere in, since she knew that Jingyun Gonggong was coming, she started to get busy, Cuiping also started to tidy up the West Courtyard yesterday, and Li Huai has been drunk since Liyuan Chun came back, and he didn't wake up until the second half of the night, and the Ying sisters and Yang Yunying couldn't help too much.
"Xianggong is very leisurely." Ying Tianxiang sent the ingredients from Wangyue Tower, and the things were sent directly to the backyard, but she came over to take a look, and saw Li Huai's leisurely appearance from a distance, and couldn't help but be funny.
The sun fell on her body, and the falling shadow just covered Li Huai, and the other party felt the change in light, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the other party's smiling face.
"Red sleeves, I'm powerless, I don't understand these things at all, the second sister has been in charge for all these years, so she can naturally handle it well, and I just added chaos when I went." Li Huai smiled, stretched out his hand to pull the other party, and let her sit beside him, now that he has regarded her as his own woman, he did not hesitate to arouse her, "Bring me something delicious?" As he spoke, he tilted his head and looked behind him.
He had already noticed that the other party was carrying a basket in his hand, and in the past few days that Li Huai had been in Beijing, Ying Hongsleeve had prepared food for him, all kinds of delicious food, and he ate it tightly, like a new daughter-in-law who was very spoiled by her husband.
"This is a few snacks that I specially asked people to prepare, the princess is going to have a meeting, I just want to prepare more snacks, I remember you said, when she was in the city, she often made snacks for Shang Lao, I think you didn't eat less, so I brought it to let you taste." Saying that, he opened the lid of the food box, and there were a few delicate snacks on the plate, Li Huai didn't say a word, picked one and put it in his mouth, and took a bite, which was crispy and fragrant.
"Why is it a little sour?" Li Huai said seriously, "Won't it?" Ying Tianxiang remembered that she didn't make a sour one, and looked puzzled, "Don't believe you taste it?" As he spoke, he put the remaining half of his hand to the woman's mouth, and she tasted it, "It's sweet." ”
When he was puzzled, when he saw the smile on the corner of Li Huai's mouth, he knew that the other party was deliberately teasing, "I just heard it, and I felt sour, it turned out to be not a snack." ”
Ying Hongsleeve glanced at him, and her face couldn't help but blush a little......
"It's still delicious to make you!" Li Huai smiled, took another one, and looked at the red sleeves on the side while eating, "What about the fragrance?" Didn't come along? ”
"Not you yet?" Ying Hongsleeve said with some disgust, "The martial arts cheats you sent over, she was fascinated when she read it, and she has been practicing in the house for the past few days. ”
Li Huai then remembered that a few days ago, he took the time to sort out some of the martial arts cheats that Hong Ji had collected everywhere before, and gave Ying Tianxiang, the other party used to practice the kung fu of assassins, although they were all killer moves, but they often did not hesitate to kill themselves, and even died together, he wanted him to practice more other kung fu, so that he would not hurt himself in the future.
"What you say is also after the door, naturally you have to be able to be able to be literate and martial, wait for Tianxiang to come out of retreat, we just have a discussion." Li Huai looked like a peerless master, but Ying Hongsleeve didn't bother to argue with him, in her opinion, Li Huai was probably just a few legs and feet, after all, his body bones looked weak, how could he have those five big and three thick men.
The two talked and laughed for a while, and in the eyes of those busy subordinates, they also looked flirtatious, Li Huai selected a few delicious snacks, and Ying Hongsleeves left with them, and wanted to go back to Wangyue Tower to prepare, so that they could be sent over immediately.
Two hours later, the sun reached Zhongtian, there was news in the palace, the princess and her party had set off, this time it was mostly women, in addition to a few teachers and students in the Allure Academy, there were also a few students who came to Beijing to take the exam, of course, they are all in the limelight recently, the princess of the Hua Dynasty will naturally be a first-class opportunity to go to Beijing recently, and it is indispensable for talented people to participate.
The door of the General's Mansion was already full of waiting crowds, everyone came early, standing at the door, waiting for the princess to appear, as representatives of the Li family, Li Caier and Li Huai were naturally at the front, there were a few faces in the crowd Li Huai looked familiar, they were all talented people who met in Yecheng, Tang Yuan, Qingkui, etc., they are also the princess's old acquaintances, Li Huai nodded with a few people, it was a greeting, and several people also bowed their hands, Li Huai's identity is different from Yecheng after all.
The meeting was held in the garden of the Li family, last year it was still quite bleak, since Li Huai went to Beijing, the Li family has a series of things, and there is no time to take care of here, this time by the princess Wenhui, but it was completely cleaned up, and the princess sent a few pots of moon flowers in the most conspicuous position.
After bowing and saluting, Yuan Shanshan left the accompanying guards and palace maids outside the garden, only letting the young people who participated in the Wenhui stay, her tone was calm, her temperament was also casual, and many of them knew each other, and the atmosphere of the Wenhui was very relaxed.
It's just that this article will fall in Li Huai's eyes, but it is more like a blind date in his memory, where several men and women get together, enjoy flowers, enjoy scenery, and talk about the world.
"Why don't you see your big brother?" Yuan Shanshan called Li Huai to him, "I have already brought the people." As he spoke, he pointed to the tall voices in the crowd not far away.
Li Huai glanced in the direction of the crowd from a distance, not such an amazing character, "The eldest brother said that after the handover, after all, he can't abolish the public for personal reasons." ”
"Your eldest brother is like General Li's person, and your second sister is also a beautiful and wise person, so she came to you......" Saying that, she looked at Li Huai with some amusement, and the other party was also stunned, thinking that the other party would not find trouble for herself again, "The reputation is not good!" ”
"Do I have a bad reputation?" Li Huai looked at each other puzzled, in fact, he had heard of his own wind comments outside the past few days, although several families had no losses due to the fluctuation of food prices a while ago, but in their opinion, the reduction of interests was unbearable, and a careful investigation could find the shadow of Hong Ji, although Yan Fu did not give a positive reply, but also did not deny the participation of the Li family, so that as the helm of Hong Ji behind the scenes, Li Huai's wind evaluation naturally plummeted.
"The businessmen outside say that you are a profiteer and a rebellious minister, taking profits from the people and messing up the court." Yuan Shanshan looked at the other party, although it was harsh, but it didn't matter, Li Huai smiled and drank a glass of wine, "The princess should understand that she eats with a mouth, and she can't help herself as a courtier." ”
"It's a good person, you can't help yourself, but your words have put all the responsibility on my father, and I am still full of grievances."
"This is what the princess said, I didn't say anything, but the minister is dedicated to the public." Li Huai said, seeing that the other party's face sank, he hurriedly saluted Yuan Shanshan, "The minister should retire first, so as not to make the princess unhappy." ”
Not far away, Li Cai'er had already noticed Li Huaihe's expressions and just wanted to go up to persuade her, but she heard Yuan Shanshan's voice, "Who let you go......"
As soon as the princess's words fell, the atmosphere in the garden cooled down, and everyone looked over, "I heard that yesterday, Li Gongzi wrote a few poems in Liyuan Spring?" Now that you're here today, you should leave some ink treasures behind. ”
After the meeting began, there were a few talented people who made a few poems that fit the occasion, but it was just to liven up the atmosphere, and no one commented on anything, but now, the princess opened her mouth, and it was not just entertainment.
Li Huai looked at Yuan Shanshan, kept the eyes of everyone around, and sighed, "The little one is not prepared, can you let me think about it?" ”
