Even Princess Yuzhen Li Zhiying herself didn't notice that in just one afternoon, almost earth-shaking changes had taken place in her body.

Actually, this is also normal.

She is like a flower that blooms late, although it has never bloomed, but it is only because the outside temperature has not yet reached the conditions for her to bloom, and once this condition is reached by chance...... No woman, or more accurately, every person, can refuse love.

She is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today, and in these thirty-two years of life, there are three, or four, or five years, she is ignorant and ignorant, but out of human instinct, she can perceive that her situation is not good, so, from the time she does not remember, she has subconsciously begun to be careful about everything around her, and then, for another four or five years, she began to be sensible, began to remember, she began to gradually really understand her situation.

Around her, there was intrigue every day, countless intrigues every day, her grandmother, uncle, aunt, father, and brothers...... The ubiquitous court wrestling every day made her feel as if she would receive a cup of poisoned wine at any moment.

Later, his father became the emperor, and later, his brother became the emperor, and he has been doing it until now, so that it seems that the world is already peaceful, and there will be no more danger around her, but in the most important years when she grew from an ignorant child to a young girl, her heart was closed.

She is afraid of politics, she is afraid of the palace, he does not believe in family affection, he does not believe in love.

She is devout and single-minded, and she longs for great peace of mind.

Then, she met Li Xi.

This guy's talent is what she admires, of course, this guy is not bad-looking, and the most important thing is that this guy is bold enough.

He dared to openly express his admiration for her at a banquet full of celebrities and gentlemen, and this confession did not make people feel the slightest hypocrisy, because his confession had a premise - he knew, and explained that he just wanted to say these words, he had ideals, he had ambitions, so he could not marry a princess, or an eldest princess.

Perhaps, it was such a confession that did not pursue results but was simply for catharsis that made her feel the frank touch of love for the first time - it seems a bit hypocritical to say this, but it is true.

Of course, the premise is that Li Xi is sincere enough, talented enough, and talented enough for her to appreciate.

Then, he can tell a very tortuous and euphemistic love story, he can not see her as a princess at all, she can make fun of her at any time, ask for her wooden hairpin with her hands and feet, or even buy only a street bargain as compensation...... Instead of holding her high in the sky like those suitors she met when she was fifteen or sixteen years old.

Women are women after all, and they always like to be obsessed with these details, which is a difficult problem that the Jade Emperor Great Yanjing can't solve.

Of course, Princess Yuzhen is Sima Chengzhen's disciple after all, after all, she is a female crown who has been cultivating in the Dao Sect for more than ten years, her concentration, her experience, can ensure that her heart defense is strong enough to be easily broken.

Therefore, after an occasional emotion, she felt that she had seen through the mystery of the sentence "Heaven is humanity" left by her master, and she once again forced herself to meditate, read the scriptures, and stay at home.

However, no matter how calm you are, how can a pure mature woman who has never experienced love be able to stop a love hooligan?

This afternoon, she was coquettish, she laughed, she raised her fists angrily, and she added her fists and kicks...... Even she didn't notice it, but in the space of an afternoon, the expression on her face had grown to the point that it had grown to the extent that it had been more than all the expressions of the previous thirty-two years combined.

………… It was getting late, and she was beginning to wake up from that state.

Then, first her arm loosened Li Xi's neck, and then, she retreated from Li Xi like a fire.

Li Xi could probably guess why, but just when Princess Yuzhen was worried that he would take the opportunity to cheat and use what had just happened as an excuse to do something more excessive, Li Xi seemed to have passed the wine, and when he saw Yuzhen get up and leave him, he also stood up and offered his farewell.

So, until Li Xi had already left for a long time, Princess Yuzhen still didn't come back to her senses.

Then, she took out the hairpin that had been hidden before Li Xi came just now, and held it in her hand painfully, full of melancholy.

Out of the Yuzhen Annex, he rode home with Gengxin.

This afternoon, Li Ximei was smiling and looking forward to it, but he couldn't even enter the door, so he had to stand on the street outside, even people and horses, and it was very cold.

However, in this case, he trembled slightly, but he still couldn't forget to flatter a few words, so he immediately squeezed out a smiling face, and he said: "My lord, after the villain saw the adult come out of here, his complexion is really good......

"Oh? Is it? Li Xi turned his head to glance at him, shook his head and said, "I don't think so." ”

In fact, Li Xi knew that after this afternoon, the fire in his heart was even greater.

However, there are some things that cannot be rushed, and although he has done some things that he usually does not dare to do with the help of alcohol, is it necessary to make persistent efforts next? He was still a little undecided.

If you want to marry an eldest princess, it is obviously not very reliable, so let an eldest princess be your mistress...... What a difficult thing to do.

As the sun set, the streets of Chang'an City in winter looked a little deserted, and after frowning and thinking for a long time, Li Xi clamped the horse's belly between his legs and walked away.

When I returned home, there was a great joy.

Liu Rong is here.

The holy decree appointing Li Xi as the deputy envoy of Jianghuai was issued on September 29, and on October 1, Li Xi promoted Liu Rong, the second son of Sima Liubo of Shuzhou, as the chief secretary of the Jianghuai transfer envoy on the eighth grade.

According to the itinerary, because it is just an ordinary official letter, it will take more than a month and a half to go to Shuzhou all the way, and even if Liu Rong leaves for the north immediately after receiving the appointment, it will take about two months to three months, so Li Xi predicted that it would be a few days before the New Year when Liu Rong came, but he never thought that today was only December 17, and Liu Rong and his party had already arrived in Chang'an.

Greetings, reminiscences, laughter...... After letting Liu Rong into his study, the two chatted for a while before Liu Rong took out a letter from his arms - "This is written to you by Wan'er." As for the others, I guess there are also letters, you can ask Yang Zhao for it later. ”

Li Xi took the letter with a smile, but he was not in a hurry to look at it, but he looked Liu Rong up and down again, and then smiled: "I didn't look carefully just now, but I felt that you seem to have lost a lot of weight." ”

Liu Rong smiled bitterly when he heard this, and spread his hands and said: "You leave that mess, throw off your hands and leave, if I want to be lazy, I won't even agree to ...... girl" Speaking of this, he stopped talking, leaned over carefully, and said with a smile on his face: "I said, when I came in just now, I saw it, what are the names of those two little girls...... Call...... Lianlian? looks good, this shows that your kid will not be honest even if he arrives in Chang'an......"

When Li Xi heard this, he immediately shouted, "What's the matter, don't wronged me, I'm guarding my body like a jade." ”

Liu Rong glanced at Li Xi disdainfully when he heard this, with an expression of "it's strange to believe in you", and then said with a heartfelt voice: "I said, don't wait any longer, since you pulled me over and gave me a future, it means that you are living a very nourishing life here, it is estimated that you will be able to go back for a while, or you will write a letter to the third uncle, and ask him to go over and discuss with my father about the two of you, and send Wan'er over!" ”

Li Xi pondered for a moment when he heard this, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Hearing this, Liu Rong suddenly showed a relieved expression on his face, and he breathed a sigh of relief slightly.

Who is Li Xi, how could he not know. If you want to talk about the ability to hook up with women, your brother-in-law can be regarded as a first-class master in the world, and he left himself alone in such a fancy world as Chang'an, even if there is a back-and-forth communication, but what can he do, far water does not quench his thirst, and there are so many young ladies from the Xungui family in Chang'an, he is really a little worried that Li Xi will be dazzled here, and he will hook up with another person.

And now, as long as the position of the main wife is still his sister's, the rest is not his uncle's mouth.

So he smiled and said: "Don't you know, when we came all the way to leave Jinyuan, we almost almost ran out of Wan'er, she didn't know what way to give birth, she secretly changed her clothes, and I don't know where to get a horse, ran to more than 20 miles outside the city and waited for us, and in the end, it was my eldest brother who rode a horse and chased her out of dozens of miles before intercepting her back, it is estimated that this son will have to be confined at home!" ”

Li Xi smiled when she heard this, and unconsciously appeared in her mind that she was happy and disgusting, and she seemed to be able to imagine her feat of sneaking out of the city in the middle of the night to prepare for a husband for thousands of miles...... Taking a deep breath, he looked at Liu Rong and asked, "During this time, there are only a few words, and I don't know very well, or are you here to tell me, how is the business over there?" ”

Liu Rong waved his hand when he heard this, looking lazy, "Yang Zhao also came over, you go back and ask him, over there are these things in the whole day, come here and let me talk to you again?" ”

Li Xi smiled, thinking that it was estimated that the business over there had been really good in the past half a year, and he had left an explanation before leaving, if there was a major event over there, the final decision would be in Liu Rong's hands, so it was estimated that he would not be able to show credit for himself. So I didn't ask more at the moment, anyway, it was said that Yang Zhao was also here, and it was not too late to ask him later.

Fingers lightly tapped on the bookcase a few times, Li Xi said: "Before you came, Xiao Song and Han Xiu of the DPRK and China resigned at the same time, until now, the candidate for the new prime minister is still undecided, if it is not unexpected, Jiuling Gong should be able to worship the prime minister, if he worships the prime minister, I am afraid that my teacher's position will be moved to Chang'an......

After a pause, he continued: "In these days of coming to Chang'an, although I have offended a lot of people, after all, I have also met some people, so if I find them to do activities, and then there is a teacher who puts a few words in front of Jiuling Gong, maybe I can make my father-in-law's seat follow suit." ”

"Oh?" Ever since Li Xi mentioned that the phase of the court was undecided, Liu Rong turned his head and looked at him intently, and when Li Xi's words came out, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "So ......"

Li Xi looked at him, "It's hard to say what the history of assassination is, maybe, you can transfer your father-in-law to Chang'an?" ”

Liu Rong groaned when he heard this, and Li Xi knew that when their father and son were chatting, Old Man Liu Bo had mentioned that he was not too happy to enter Chang'an-no wonder, although Chang'an is the most noble official in the world, but after all, Shuzhou is his hometown, if he can be promoted to a higher level in his hometown, it may be much more comfortable for him than running to Chang'an to be an official who has to bow when he sees everyone.

Thinking about this, Li Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then stay in Shuzhou, once I go back to Jiuling, I will go out and walk around for my father-in-law, and strive to move up." ”

Liu Rong nodded with a smile when he heard this, and sighed: "It's really unexpected, a few months ago, the old man of our family was still worried, I don't know if I should marry my daughter to you, but after a few months, you can already plan for him......"

Li Xi smiled, this is not easy to answer.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone outside: "The villain Yang Zhao asks to see the son." ”

Li Xi stood up, "Yang Zhao, come in!" ”

When Li Xi came just now, Yang Zhao was said to be busy unloading things, so Li Xi just pulled Liu Rong to speak, until this time, Yang Zhao was busy and knew that Li Xi was back, so he hurried over to meet him.

The door opened, Yang Zhao walked in in three or two steps, his face was still with the color of the wind and dust of a long journey, his face was ruddy, and his spirit was very full, but when he saw Li Xi, he suddenly knelt on the ground, and immediately cried, "The villain greets the son, the prince wants to trouble the villain!" ”

Seeing his style, it was clear that he was shameless and wanted to slap a big fart first when he entered the door, Li Xi couldn't cry or laugh, but I have to say that I haven't seen him for a long time, and at this time, seeing him kowtow on the ground like this, Li Xi's heart is still full of joy. Sometimes, having a guy who can do things and do things can actually make life a lot more joyful.

Li Xi walked over and kicked his arm angrily, "Get out, don't do this!" Only then did he take his sleeve and wipe his tears and get up, Liu Rong rolled his eyes and shook his head helplessly.

For Yang Zhao's shamelessness, he has long been surprised, when he was in Shuzhou, Wan'er sometimes secretly ran out to play, anyway, Li Xi was not at home, she would even run to Wu Lan and Yang Huahua to chat, at that time, this guy patted her future housemother's ass, that is called **naked!

Before Li Xi left, he stuffed him into the yamen of Jinyuan County and became a small official, but don't look at his background, but instead hugged the thighs of Li Xi's family more and more, Li Xi was not at home, he slapped the women in the family on the ass, and almost openly regarded himself as a lackey under Li Xi's family.

This time, Li Xibao promoted Liu Rong as the superintendent of the Jianghuai transfer envoy Si Zheng Bapin, which had nothing to do with him, but he didn't know what he had in mind, so he had to beg for nothing to beg Liu Wan'er Wulan and Yang Huahua to beg for a few people, asking to come to Chang'an with Liu Rong, and even resigned from the tolerance that had just arrived for a few months.

However, although this person is extremely shameless, he is not so annoying.

At least he is very discerning, and he is very resourceful, resourceful, and capable, after nearly a year of continuous beating by Li Xi and Liu Rong, it can be said that he already has the ability to take charge of himself now.

So as soon as he said that he wanted to follow, Liu Rong agreed.

Of course, his style is commonplace for Liu Rong, not unusual, but Geng Xin at the door was stunned - he originally thought that he was already shameless enough when it came to sycophancy, but he never thought that this kind of thing could also be outside the world, and his methods were trivial.

Seeing that he was stunned at the door and looked at Yang Zhao stupidly, looking like he had seen his ancestor, Li Xi smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Gengxin, you go and ask someone to change a few more cups of tea." ”

Geng Xinyan came back to his senses, and glanced at Yang Zhao with awe, then agreed, took the door and walked away.

There was an extra Yang Zhao in the room, and it immediately became lively.

He first presented two letters, which belonged to Wu Lan and Hua Nu, and Li Xi also put them away first, and then asked about family affairs.

Yang Zhao is good at this, for example, how the two ladies in the family miss Li Xi, how the business in the family is booming, how the third uncle is old and strong, how the eldest son Liu Lan sits firmly in the position of the chief bookkeeper, and how the eldest prince Liu Rong is wise and decisive in managing business...... He was sharp-tongued, and he said it in a lively manner, and after a while, Li Xi was very relieved.

In the evening, Li Xi specially set up a banquet for them to catch the wind and wash the dust, and Li Yifeng accompanied him.

A few people drank bitterly, Xu was too tired from the journey, Yang Zhao and Liu Rong quickly showed their drunkenness, the room had already been cleaned up, Li Xi ordered someone to help them go back to rest, and he returned to the study, took out the letters from his arms, looked at them one by one, and then was speechless for a long time.

The lights beeped, stretching his figure into a long reflection on the window paper.

He got up and pushed the door and walked out, the moonlight was cold outside, and the courtyard was gradually quieting down.

At this time, I suddenly heard a voice not far away that seemed very strange and seemed familiar, "Thank you, Miss Lianlian, but over there is Gongzi's study, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to live here, right?" ”

Then it was Lianlian's voice, "But this is what Steward Yang specially explained, Mr. Li and Steward Geng also nodded, Sister Jingnu, you are the ladder of the two ladies over there, since you have already come, it is naturally better for you to serve our adults' daily life......"
