Chapter 45: Little Calculations

The joy of disguise, no matter how real it seems, is just a disguise after all.

The family banquet dispersed, Wan took Li Jiancheng and others to send Li Shimin outside the house, Li Shimin said goodbye to everyone, and left in a hurry.

"Xuanba, would you like to talk to your eldest brother?" When Li Shimin's figure disappeared, Li Jiancheng turned around and said to Li Xuanba.

"The eldest brother invited, how dare Xuanba refuse." Li Xuanba said with a smile.

Li Jiancheng patted Li Xuanba's shoulder, nodded with a smile, and said, "I haven't lived there for too long, so let's go to your room, it's a little warmer." ”

Wan Shi listened to the conversation between the two, frowned slightly, and went back to the room with the woman next to him first, Li Yuanji refused to go to Li Xuanba's room, and also took his leave, and took an entourage to wander around the city.

"Big brother, Yuanji seems to be dissatisfied with me, I don't know why?" On the way back to the room, Li Xuanba said suspiciously: "Although His Majesty punished him for my business, it shouldn't make him annoy me like this, right?" ”

"He is not angry with you because he was punished by His Majesty." Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "He was scared of you before." When Li Xuanba heard this, he laughed twice, and walked silently with Li Jiancheng and Wei Ting all the way to the door.

Li Xuanba invited the two into the room first, and after Wei Ting entered, he didn't go inside, Li Xuanba knew it, so he entered the room, Wei Ting was behind him, and closed the door.

Li Xuanba first added some charcoal to the charcoal stove, saw Li Jiancheng walking around the room, his eyes fell on the desk, and said helplessly: "Big brother also plans to laugh at me?" ”

Li Jiancheng and Wei Ting are both smart people, so they naturally heard the meaning of Li Xuanba's words. After Wei Ting closed the door, he walked to the desk, looked at the words on the paper, and said with a smile: "Xuanba's words are indeed unconventional. ”

What is clichΓ©? It's good to write, but it's clichΓ©.

Li Jiancheng couldn't help but smile and said, "What Brother Wei said is indeed true. ”

"Big brother, don't make fun of me." Li Xuanba pretended to be unhappy and said, "You can't learn from the second brother, encourage me?" After saying that, I couldn't help but laugh.

After joking for a while, the three of them, regardless of their age, knelt casually on the mat around the charcoal stove.

"Seeing that you are not wary of me at all now, I guess Your Majesty has already told you what happened at the beginning." Li Jiancheng said calmly.

"Yes." Li Xuanba responded softly: "I was disrespectful at the beginning, please forgive my eldest brother." When they met for the first time, Li Xuanba didn't pay much attention to Li Jiancheng, so he apologized.

"Brothers, why be polite." Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "As long as Xuanba is safe and sound, the eldest brother will be happy, and the guilt in his heart will be much less." ”

"It's all over, don't mention it again." Wei Ting smiled on the side: "You show your brotherly affection, do you want me to cry bitterly here?" ”

Wei Ting's words made the atmosphere in the room no longer so depressed, Li Jiancheng and Li Xuanba looked at each other and smiled, diverting the topic.

"You said just now that you will go back to Luoyang in a few days." Li Jiancheng put away his smile and said with concern: "Now that my Li Mansion is in Hedong, you are alone in Luoyang, so be careful." ”

When Li Xuanba heard this, his face was sad, and he said depressedly: "Why don't I want to stay in the house?" I went to Luoyang, I had no relatives and no reason, and I had to go to school every day, alas. ”

"I don't know how many people's dreams are to go to Guozijian to study, Xuanba, your voice is unreasonable." Wei Ting smiled: "Your Majesty is so fond of you, you can't let Your Majesty down." ”

When Wei Ting and Li Jiancheng were together, Yang Guang and His Majesty could be called casually, but in front of Li Xuanba, Wei Ting still had a trace of respect for Yang Guang, after all, no one knew what Li Xuanba was thinking.

Li Xuanba smiled with him, although he didn't know the purpose of Li Jiancheng and the others, he was not in a hurry.

However, the development of the situation was beyond Li Xuanba's expectations, although Li Jiancheng had been expressing concern, but did not make any suggestions, and the two sat idle in the room for half an hour, and then left, which made Li Xuanba scratch his head.

"Xuanba has indeed become much smarter." Back to Li Jiancheng's room, Wei Ting sighed: "Looking at his attitude, it seems that he doesn't have too deep friendship with the people. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Since he is no longer a member of the world, there is no need for us to calculate him." ”

Wei Ting looked at Li Jiancheng and said: "You are still too benevolent, if you follow the plan, you go to persuade Xuanba and tell Your Majesty about the Kyushu Rebellion, Your Majesty is angry, even if you spoil him again, I am afraid that you will not spare him." ”

"He's my brother after all." Li Jiancheng said calmly: "I understand that as long as Your Majesty kills him, my father will inevitably rebel, but I really can't bear it." ”

Wei Ting sighed secretly, knowing that it was useless to say more, so he was relieved: "It is not a small gain to let the people of the world and Xuanba have a gap." ”

"Yes, although Shimin is gone, but, according to his temperament, there must be eyeliner in the house." Li Jiancheng chuckled: "You say, what would he do if he knew that I had been chatting with Xuanba in the room for half an hour?" ”

Li Shimin's wooing did not work, and Li Jiancheng came back and did something instead.

As for Li Xuanba, he was not affected at all, and his life was still as regular as usual.

Until the sixth day of the new year.

The Li Mansion has always been kind to the subordinates of the Mansion, so on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, most of the subordinates of the Li Mansion rushed back early. One of them came back very early.

Before dawn, as soon as the back door of the Li Mansion opened, Uncle Xu, who opened the door, was startled.

Seeing a person walking around outside, Xu Bo looked carefully and shouted: "Shizuka, you arrived so early?" ”

Shizuka saw that the door was opened, and she responded in a trembling voice and said, "Uncle Xu, I'll go back to the room to warm up first." ”

Uncle Xu saw Shizuka's shivering, and hurriedly went out to help her into the house.

Li Xuanba woke up and felt that the smell in the room was a little different, so he looked at it curiously, only to see that the water in the basin not far away was steaming, and his clothes were neatly hanging, the same as before he left Hedong.

"Li Gou is so hearted today?" Li Xuanba said suspiciously, but he still got out of bed, took advantage of the hot water, washed first, and then opened the door to look outside, and saw that the sun was shining, and his mood instantly relaxed.

The good times didn't last long, and Li Xuanba's mood was only comfortable for a while, and then he became embarrassed.

"Childe, Madame, please go and eat." Shizuka blushed, stood in the distance, and whispered.

"Shizuka, you prepared the hot water and clothes in the room?" Li Xuanba suddenly realized something and said, "You did all those things before, right?" ”

"The slave is just doing her part, and she happens to know Childe's habits, so," Shizuka explained in some incoherent terms.

"Thank you." Li Xuanba smiled and said, "I heard that there is some gossip in the house, and you are still willing to do these things, I really wronged you." ”

"Childe is a good person now, and the slave and maid serve Childe, and I don't feel wronged." Shizuka's eyes dimmed for a moment, and she shook her head and said.

"You've lost some weight." Li Xuanba felt a little sorry for Shizuka, and wanted to comfort him, but suddenly remembered that in this era, it is not necessarily comforting to say that others have lost weight, so he continued: "Go eat something." ”
