Chapter 219: Li Er and his wife join forces, and Wang Xiang is alone and invincible
As soon as Wang Xiang entered the Lizheng Palace, he saw Li Er and Empress Changsun sitting around a delicate small hot pot, and the dishes next to the hot pot were placed in the most tender lamb slices and yak meat slices, as well as fungus, mushrooms and other high-end vegetables, the quantity is not much, but they are all very good-looking, extremely fresh, and they are just picked and cleaned from the greenhouse.
Because Wang Xiang suggested that the Lizheng Hall should not burn sandalwood and other things for a long time, it was just to light a small stove for heating.
The little son had just eaten enough, and was led by the palace maid to play in the side hall, wearing a small woolen sweater, and his face was very cute.
Seeing Wang Xiang come in, he called out sweetly: "Wang Jiancheng." ”
Although Wang Xiang has a higher official title and title now, for some reason, the little ghosts of the Li Er family still like to call him Wang Jian Cheng, perhaps under the influence of Li Zhi's little ghost, he said that he was used to calling him like this, and he called it smooth.
Of course, Wang Xiang doesn't care about a title, since the imperial chef in the palace learned to make all kinds of exquisite dim sum from Aunt Lin, the little son finally doesn't love sour fruit so much.
He took a soft and delicious snack handed over by the little son and put it in his mouth, making an exaggerated delicious expression, and the little son ran back to play with the palace maid with a "giggle" smile.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother."
Wang Xiang saluted Li Er and Empress Changsun.
Li Er waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be polite here, have you eaten?" ”
Wang Xiang was about to answer, but Li Er said lightly: "I don't have many dishes to prepare today. ”
Depend on! Then you ask me if I have eaten or not! I invented the hot pot and I invented the greenhouse, I will scarce your fungus mushrooms? I really want to say that I didn't eat it and see how you would react!
"Just had dinner."
Li Er didn't seem to notice the twitching corners of Wang Xiang's mouth and nodded and said, "That's good." ”
Wang Xiang was even more speechless when he heard this. Can you be subtle......
In fact, Li Er is not stingy. If he eats alone, he doesn't mind letting Wang Xiang accompany him to shabu shabu. drank two cups, but he didn't want others to get involved in the warm little hot pot with the eldest grandson queen.
"Chen Gui, bring a stool for Marquis Jiayuan."
Waiting for Wang Xiang to sit down, Li Er pretended not to know why and asked, "Why did Zixin come here so late?" ”
It is indeed not early for the ancients, and the ordinary people are ready to go to bed after eating and resting for a while, and the sleep time is much more sufficient than that of the hard-working office workers of later generations, so after coming to the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xiang has always felt that the ancients were actually quite lazy, and they had to sleep for more than ten hours a day. No wonder only eat two meals a day.
But now is not the time to complain about this, Wang Xiang secretly pondered in his heart, first expressed his gratitude to Li Er for canonizing Xiao Lori and Wu Shun, which also vaguely revealed his neglected resentment, which was directly ignored by Li Er.
"Since that girl won a prestige for the Tang Dynasty at the court meeting, I naturally won't treat her badly, Zixin specially entered the palace to thank her for this?"
Seeing that Li Er didn't mention the matter of harmony, Wang Xiang then took the initiative to speak: "The minister heard that many countries have sent princes over this court meeting. ”
"It seems that this is the case, in previous years, the great court meeting did not see all the princes sent by Fanbang, and this year is indeed very strange."
Feign. You continue to pretend, Li Zhi's little ghost said that you have already canonized several princesses. He pretended to be puzzled. Wang Xiang gritted his teeth and despised Li Er, but he was helpless.
"Then Your Majesty, do you know why Fanbang sent the prince over to attend the court meeting?"
"Well...... this"
Li Er then pretended to be confused, and the eldest grandson queen on the side pretended to think for a moment and said: "Generally speaking, most of the princes and princesses sent by Fanbang to worship are for the sake of harmony. ”
"Yes!" Li Eryi slapped his thigh and suddenly realized.
"It seems that this is the case when the queen says so."
Watching the couple sing and play the double reed full of loopholes, Wang Xiang suddenly burst into tears, do I look stupid......
Li Er's "curious" Chao Wang Xiang asked, "Why is Zixin so concerned about this matter?" ”
"Concerned? How could I care about this? Wang Xiang said with a haha: "Fanbang wants to make peace with the Tang Dynasty, and the prince of Fanbang is naturally compatible with the princess or county lord of the Tang Dynasty, which is all with royal blood, and ordinary women can't get into their eyes even if they are canonized princesses." The girl in our family got carried away when she was canonized as a Ruyi princess, and she really thought that she would become a phoenix when she flew on the branches, haha, children are innocent, what does it have to do with her, do you say, Your Majesty? ”
Li Er and Empress Changsun were stunned when they heard this, obviously they didn't expect Wang Xiang to say this.
Of course, Li Er would not be fooled by Wang Xiang's slap, and frowned solemnly and said: "Presumptuous, canonizing the princess is not child's play, since I decreed the canonization of Princess Ruyi, then she is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, no different from other princesses, this kind of disrespectful words can't be said nonsense in the future, otherwise I will be punished." ”
"Really?"
Wang Xiang looked "surprised".
"It seems that the minister did not see anything about the establishment of the princess's mansion in the holy decree."
Li Er coughed dryly and said: "That's my negligence for a while, and when I turned around, I asked people to set up a princess mansion in Chang'an to help Princess Ruyi set up a princess mansion." ”
Count you ruthless!
Seeing that Li Er's shirk was not leaky, and even admitted his "negligence", Wang Xiang knew that he was not his opponent, and there was an extremely shrewd Empress Eldest Sun next to him, and the two of them were indeed invincible when they joined forces.
"Your Majesty, the minister said it directly, are you planning to marry Princess Ruyi to Fanbang?"
Li Er didn't expect Wang Xiang to have a showdown so soon, and blurted out, "Why did Zixin ask that?" Why did I marry Princess Ruyi to Fanbang? Li Er also felt that it was not a glorious thing to be close to each other, so he naturally would not be arrogant.
"Then Your Majesty will not marry Princess Ruyi to Fanbang?" Wang Xiang asked quickly, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
"I ......"
"Ahem......"
Li Er was about to blurt out, but Empress Changsun coughed twice in a very timely "Qi Attack".
Li Er was shocked when he heard Empress Changsun coughing, and he didn't care to talk to Wang Xiang, so he hurriedly turned his head to look at Empress Changsun with concern, and only relieved when he saw that her face was not different.
Seeing the smile in the corner of the eldest grandson's eyes, Li Er suddenly realized that she was deliberately pretending to have a qi attack, coughing and reminding herself not to fall for the prince. Just now, I was really ready to blurt out, "Of course I won't marry Princess Ruyi to Fanbang", if he really said so, then Wang Zixin would be able to retire with another "Jun Wu joke".
What a cunning prince Xin, who actually forced Guanyin to pretend to have a seizure of anger to remind me! (To be continued.) )
