Li Xiu was very helpless to leave the princess's mansion with the bearded guest, and when he was almost at the door of his house, he said: "Uncle, don't pretend anymore, His Royal Highness King Qin's people will definitely not see here!" ”

Hearing Li Xiu's words, the drunken bearded guest immediately opened his eyes and stood up, looked around for a while, and then said to Li Xiu with a smile: "Xiu'er, I thought I was bold enough, but I didn't expect that your courage is not small, and you actually fell in love with the famous Princess Pingyang, but I remember that people have husbands?" ”

"Uncle, can we not talk about this?" Li Xiu glanced at the bearded guest and said, he suddenly found out now that the legendary bearded guest turned out to be a gossip man, just now he saw that Li Shimin deliberately poured him wine, but he pretended to be drunk, and finally let him hear a big secret from Li Shimin's words.

"Haha~, why don't you say it, you have a crush on someone else's princess, and even the King of Qin said that if you want to be a concubine, you either have a deep family background, or you have amazing merits, although your father has made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty, but you are just a concubine, and you have a falling out with your father, and you can't touch his light at all, so you can only support yourself, but with your talent, it is not difficult to get out of the crowd."

When he said this, the bearded guest suddenly smiled a little dirty, and leaned in front of Li Xiu and whispered: "But your kid's vision is really good, I also saw the princess of Pingyang yesterday, not only beautiful, but also proficient in the art of war, even I admire the military exploits she has made, even if such a good woman is married, it is worth you to snatch her, but I heard that the concubine Chai Shao is not an easy to match, can you kid rob others?" ”

"What do you mean by robbing? Uncle, can't you say something nice? Li Xiu also glanced at the bearded guest angrily when he heard this, and then spoke again, "In addition, I will correct you a little more, although Chai Shao is the princess's husband, but that is only in name, the two are not husband and wife, in fact, since Chai Shao left Princess Pingyang and ran away alone when he fled, the princess has never regarded him as her husband!" ”

"Hey, there is such a thing, Hugh, tell me how Chai Shao left the princess!" The bearded guest was overseas a few years ago, and the news was relatively closed, but this time he just came back a few days ago, and not many people knew about Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao, so he hadn't heard of it.

Who would have thought that this nine-foot-tall, meaty-faced guy turned out to be a gossip man, who has an incomparably strong curiosity about other people's private affairs, and wants to inquire about everything, it seems that the gossip attribute is indeed one of the most basic characteristics of human beings regardless of age and gender.

Who made the family an elder, Li Xiu could only helplessly tell the bearded guest about the matter between Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao, but he heard it with his eyes shining, it seemed that this matter satisfied his gossip desire very well, and then he stretched out his hand and patted Li Xiu's shoulder and said: "Xiu'er, just now I thought you had a problem with your character, and you went to seduce other people's wives, but now it seems that Chai Shao is not worthy of a heroine like Princess Pingyang at all, if you need help, just ask, Uncle fully supports you!" ”

"Ahh This one...... Don't worry about it, my nephew will take care of it himself! Li Xiu heard that the bearded guest also wanted to join in the fun, so he hurriedly refused, this is his own private matter, okay?

"Hugh'er, what are you polite to me, don't look at your uncle, I'm old, but I ask myself that few people can match, when I was young, there were many treacherous people who were cut off by me and drunk, Chai Shao is ruthless and unjust, and he is barely qualified for me to shoot, as long as you say a word, I will cut off his head tonight!" Although the bearded guest pretended to be drunk just now, he did drink a lot of wine, and he was already six or seven points drunk, but now when he went out and was blown by the wind, he was even more drunk, and his speech became more unscrupulous.

"No, uncle, you better go back to bed and lie down for a while!" Li Xiu saw that the bearded guest was a little staggering when he walked at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, the bearded guest was willful and heroic when he was young, and a "The Biography of the Bearded Guest" opened a precedent for martial arts novels in later generations, so he said that he wanted to cut off Chai Shao's head, and he was definitely not talking big.

Finally put the bearded guest at home, and then threw him on the bed with the help of Yuechan and Liu'er, Li Xiu was also tired and sweating profusely at this time, the bearded guest was tall and strong, and his weight was definitely more than two hundred pounds, which could crush people to death.

Seeing that Li Xiu's face was covered with sweat, Yuechan hurriedly wet and wrung out the towel, and asked while helping Li Xiu wipe his face: "Master, have you had lunch, do you want the slave maid to help you make something to eat?" ”

"No, I've eaten, you guys are busy with your own business!" Li Xiu smiled and said, he was thinking about Li Shimin's words when he left, his mind was very chaotic, and he wanted to be quiet alone.

Yuechan heard this and left with the water, Li Xiu sat down and just wanted to sort out the messy thoughts in his mind, but he didn't expect the bearded guest to snort at this time, the voice was long and loud, and the shaking room seemed to be trembling slightly, making people unable to concentrate at all.

In desperation, Li Xiu had to come to the yard, he didn't feel that he lived alone before, but now there are more people, and he feels more and more that this yard is too small, Yuechan and Liu'er sit in the shade of the tree and hold the soles of their shoes, whispering from time to time, sometimes Li Xiu is really envious of them, because he feels that Yuechan and Liu'er's life is very simple, as long as he, the master, treats them well, they seem to have no other troubles, and even whisper with a smile.

couldn't stay in the room, Li Xiu simply moved the new chaise longue sent by the princess to the shade of the tree, and then lay on it and pretended to sleep, Yuechan and Liu Er were very understanding, seeing Li Xiu close his eyes, they immediately stopped talking, so as not to disturb Li Xiu's rest.

But where can Li Xiu sleep at this time? I kept thinking about Li Shimin's words in my mind, just now he had already figured out Li Shimin's words, for Princess Pingyang and his affairs, Li Shimin seemed to have a neutral attitude, that is, he did not support or oppose, but he reminded Li Xiu that if you want to be with Princess Pingyang, it is not enough to have feelings, you must also have the corresponding identity and status.

Li Xiu is just a concubine, no matter how talented he is, he can't change his background, so if he wants to have the identity of a princess, he can only fight for it himself, and there is only one way to fight for it, that is, to become an official, for others, it may be difficult to be an official, but for Li Xiu, it is very simple.

In fact, Li Xiu is now an official, and the sacrificial wine is a high-ranking official of the five grades, and with the attention of the King of Qin and the crown prince to him, no matter which side he takes refuge in, he will be reused, but in contrast, if Li Xiu takes refuge in the prince, I am afraid that the degree of attention will be relatively low, firstly, there is no shortage of civil servants and strategists around the prince, what he lacks is a general who can go into battle to fight, and secondly, he is the crown prince, and he is the first heir to the throne, even if Li Xiu helps him sweep away the crisis of the Xuanwumen change in the future, it is also natural in his opinion, The importance of Li Xiu is not obvious at all.

It's not the same if you take refuge in Li Shimin, compared to the crown prince, in addition to Fang Du, there is only one eldest grandson Wuji left, as for the so-called eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, most of them are low-level civil officials, which also made Li Shimin suffer a lot in the later struggle for the throne, and was even forced to a dead end, and finally gave up his life to give it a go, and finally won the throne of the Tang Dynasty.

After weighing the two, Li Xiu found that it was more cost-effective to take refuge in Li Shimin, especially when he fell into a disadvantage, if he could help him reverse the situation, he would definitely be relied on by Li Shimin, and even if his future merits were not as good as the brother-in-law of Changsun Wuji, it was definitely not lower than that of generals such as Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin.

In addition, there is the most important point, Li Shimin is a rare emperor who does not slaughter meritorious heroes, and all meritorious officials, as long as you do not rebel, you can generally get a good death, from this point of view, Li Shimin's character is still guaranteed, don't worry about him crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

"With the merit of support, status is no longer an obstacle! It's just ......" Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but whisper to himself, but when he said the end, he suddenly shook his head again, and sighed lightly, he suddenly found that this idea didn't work at all, because he ignored one of the most important people, this person was Princess Pingyang.

After his own observation and the news he heard from Ma Ye, Li Xiu knew that whether it was the brother and sister relationship between Princess Pingyang and the crown prince, or the sister and brother relationship with King Qin, it was very deep, which also made Princess Pingyang very helpless in the face of the battle between the prince and King Qin, and even took the most negative attitude, so she ignored it, because no matter which one she helped, she would hurt her feelings with another brother, which was the last thing she wanted to see.

With the urine nature of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, the two brothers, it must be a life-and-death situation in the end, no matter which one Li Xiu takes refuge in, in the end, he will definitely help one kill the other, what will Princess Pingyang think of him at that time? Even if Princess Pingyang really fell in love with him, I am afraid that in the end she would not be able to accept that her lover turned out to be an accomplice who killed her brother, so Li Xiu's idea above would not work at all.

"Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs, this *** is all mixed together!" Li Xiu couldn't help but scold secretly in the end, no wonder others said that the royal affairs were the most troublesome, and it was difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, not to mention royal family affairs.

Li Xiu pondered on the recliner for a long time, and finally felt that his head was about to explode, but he still didn't have any clue, and finally jumped up and walked out of the yard, intending to go outside to relax, but as a result, he walked and walked, and finally came to his new house.

"It seems that the flowers and plants sent by the princess are still in the yard and have not been planted, so let's go and water them first!" Li Xiu suddenly thought of one thing at this time, and walked to the courtyard gate at the moment, Princess Pingyang left in a hurry this morning, just let people push the cart loaded with flowers and plants into the courtyard, it is estimated that no one will pay attention to it now, don't let the sun die again.

But just as Li Xiu approached the courtyard gate, he heard the woman's laughter from inside, and when he pushed the door open, he saw Princess Pingyang and Qi Niang squatting in the courtyard, planting flowers and plants seriously. Maybe it was because she heard the voice behind her, Princess Pingyang turned around and saw Li Xiu, and she couldn't help but smile coquettishly at the moment: "You're here!" (To be continued.) )
