Walking beside Li Xi, Chen Qingzhi frowned and asked, "Mr. Ziyue, don't you just look down on Her Royal Highness the princess like this?" ”

Li Xi stopped when he heard this, looked at Chen Qingzhi, suddenly hugged Chen Qingzhi's shoulder, pretended to be crazy after drinking, and whispered in his ear: "Lord Changshi is an interesting person, Xi admires it very much, but I am puzzled, and I want to ask my lord: The beauty of men's good voice and lust has been like this since ancient times, but at present, we and other men naturally prefer it rather than ......."

As he spoke, he wrote in the void with his hand to Chen Qingzhi, "Shang! ”

Chen Qingzhi was stunned and speechless.

Li Xi's words are not euphemistic, but they also clearly express that he has no ill feelings towards His Royal Highness King Shou and Princess Xianyi, and he also admits that Princess Xianyi is very beautiful, if it is an ordinary woman, Li Xi doesn't mind hooking up, but she is a princess, and she is so arrogant, Li Xi naturally avoids it.

At the moment, Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, if he was a person with no ambitions, he would naturally be eager for the favor of the princess and the position of a concubine, but for Li Xi, it was obvious that this was not only not tempting, on the contrary, it was still a constraint.

Knowing this, Chen Qingzhi had no choice but to sigh in his heart.

Originally, his idea was to bring Li Xi over, although His Royal Highness King Shou's starting point was not the same as his own, but he barely counted all the way with himself, but he didn't know in advance that His Royal Highness King Shou's plan was to choose a horse for Princess Xianyi, but Li Xi didn't care about it at all, so this back and forth, it was something that could have been done slowly, but it was a little stiff by today's small banquet.

But fortunately, although Princess Xianyi brushed her sleeves away, His Royal Highness King Shou didn't say anything radical just now, so the relationship between the two sides was not so stiff that it was irretrievable.

So at that moment, he nodded, sighed and said: "Mr. Zi said that his ambition is thousands of miles, Qingzhi already knows, please rest assured, His Royal Highness King Shou is here, Qingzhi's wish is to solve one or two, as for Princess Xianyi, she is younger, her surname is free and arrogant, if there is any offense in the future, please also ask Mr. Zi Yue to take a look at the thin face of His Royal Highness King Shou and Qingzhi, and don't worry about her." ”

Chen Qingzhi's words meant to be a little friendly, and Li Xi couldn't help but have a good impression of him when he heard this.

Although he is the head of Shouwangfu, in fact, his words and deeds are for Shouwangfu, but he is shrewd and moderate, and the most important thing is that although Li Xi has just humiliated others, in fact, from his heart, he is not willing to offend another Shouwang on the basis of offending His Royal Highness the Prince.

So after hearing Chen Qingzhi's words, Li Xi immediately said: "It's also strange that Xi lost his temper after drinking, and he actually made His Royal Highness King Shou and His Royal Highness Princess Xianyi unhappy, alas, please ask Brother Qingzhi to help me make up for it!" ”

Chen Qingzhi smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, and thought, are you just drunk and out of shape? Seeing that you are confident and calm when you go from composing poems to flipping explanations, I'm afraid you have already been in the middle of the case, right?

Thinking so in his heart, Chen Qingzhi was still very happy that Li Xiken took the initiative to bow his head and turn around, and agreed happily immediately.

The two chatted and walked, and before they knew it, they arrived at the door of Shouwang's mansion, the two chatted speculatively, and when they arrived at the door, Chen Qingzhi took Li Xi's hand and said goodbye, and the two made an appointment to find a time to get together again, and Chen Qingzhi personally sent Li Xi to the car.

Seeing that the car was going away, Chen Qingzhi stood at the door of Shouwang's Mansion in a daze, and patted his forehead helplessly.

Concubine Hui's earnest advice, of course, he didn't dare to forget it for a moment, but ...... His Royal Highness King Shou also seems to be faintly striving for the prince's posture, but after all, he is too young, and even he can't even figure out who should stay away, who should try his best to win over, and who should fight for it at all costs.

Turning his head to look at Li Xi's distant frame, for some reason, he always had a vague feeling in his heart that the young man, who was only eighteen years old this year, was afraid that it would not be long before he soared into the sky.

And he wanted to help His Royal Highness King Shou win him over, but obviously, he missed today, missed this opportunity, perhaps, His Royal Highness King Shou has missed him forever.

When she left the small banquet in the pavilion, Princess Xianyi Li Fu'er was still red and cold, with anger in her eyes, and when she got into the carriage and left the Shouwang Mansion, there was only one close-fitting palace maid Yan Qingwei left, she couldn't help but start crying, the carriage was not far away, She was already crying aggrievedly.

"Qingwei, you say, where did this palace do something wrong? He's just a little Guozi student, why is he humiliating me like this? …… Last time in the Li family, he humiliated me at the beginning, it was enough to not give me face, but I didn't bother with him, I still came to see him today, I want to give him a chance, he doesn't appreciate it, why do you humiliate me......"

She cried and said that the pear blossoms brought rain, and it looked so pitiful.

Yan Qingwei was able to enter the palace to serve the princess, and her family was naturally not an ordinary family, and even she had studied and read with the tutor at home since she was a child, and her knowledge has increased since she entered the palace, but she is not an eyeless person, but although she wants to persuade at this time, she doesn't know how to speak.

In her opinion, maybe Her Royal Highness the princess thinks that she is willing to give Li Xi the opportunity to let him write poems for ourselves, which is already a great grace, and even in her bones, Her Royal Highness the princess just treats him as a worthless student of Guozixue, but in fact, Li Xi is a famous person in Chang'an, you think that you have given others a lot of face, but you don't know that the so-called face you give will only make people uncomfortable, and they won't appreciate it at all!

It's just that she has this in her heart, but she can't say it.

Moreover, she also knew that Her Royal Highness the princess was already angry in her heart, no matter how tactfully she persuaded her, she was afraid that she would have to cry and send this breath down, so she simply kept silent, just listening to her crying and talking about her grievances.

Princess Li Fuer of Xianyi is the most favored daughter of Emperor Xuanzong and Concubine Wu Hui, since she was born until now, it can be said that she has been held in the palm of her hand, plus she gradually grew up and gave birth to Concubine Hui's mother-like flower and moon appearance, which is quite popular among the children of those families in Chang'an City, and she has always been the central figure of course, only she is pampered by others, but how do you know that there are some people in this world who don't look down on her at all?

In the midst of her weeping, the carriage had already entered the Xingqing Palace.

Along the way, her tears flowed well and there was a big basin, although the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, but after all, Yan Qingwei didn't speak, she cried and cried alone, and the energy had nowhere to go, so it gradually faded.

It's just that when she got off the carriage in Xingqing Palace, she saw her father, mother, and Aunt Yuzhen from a distance, and she couldn't help but feel aggrieved and poured up again, without saying a word, tears flowed out one after another, and after walking over, she didn't wait for anyone to speak, so she fell into the arms of Emperor Xuanzong and cried aggrievedly again.

After Emperor Xuanzong dealt with some government affairs in the Nanxun Palace, because he got the news that his sister Princess Yuzhen came to the palace, he came to talk with her and Concubine Wu Hui, who knew that everyone was talking happily, but Li Fu'er suddenly cried and threw himself into his arms like a great grievance, he immediately frowned, first comforted Li Fu'er a few words, and then couldn't help but raise his head and glared at Yan Qingwei, who was standing there and didn't dare to move, and couldn't help but ask: "Fu'er, what's wrong?" But what grievances have you suffered? How do you get to be close to you? ”

He asked with such majesty, Yan Qingwei knelt down, and then she told the matter of today's small banquet from beginning to end. Of course, although it was in front of Princess Xianyi, Yan Qingwei was not biased and indiscriminately buttoned Li Xi's head, so her statement was about the elaboration of an ordinary bystander.

Hearing her say the origin of the matter, Emperor Xuanzong suddenly frowned and was silent.

At this time, Concubine Wu Hui didn't have anything to say, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand and pulled Li Fu'er, who lowered her head and only knew how to cry but couldn't speak, and while holding her in her arms, she persuaded in a low voice, and Princess Yuzhen on the side also came over and persuaded softly.

As soon as she left, Emperor Xuanzong stood up and paced slowly in the hall, his face extremely gloomy.

He loves his daughter very much, and knows that Li Xi actually compares the princess of the dignified imperial family to a singer, and also writes sentences of such a barren silver, although he has his own crooked reasoning to explain, but Emperor Xuanzong heard it really, and it is naturally impossible not to be angry in his heart.

It's just that he is angry, but he also understands that a person as smart as Li Xi would not offend the princess by dying like this for no reason.

So pacing back and forth, he suddenly stopped, looked at Li Fu'er, who was still crying in the arms of Concubine Wu Hui, sighed, then turned his head to stare at Yan Qingwei, who was still kneeling on the ground, and asked, "I have something to ask you, you answer truthfully, don't hide it." Seeing Yan Qingwei nodding vigorously, he asked, "Does Fu'er like that Li Xi very much?" ”

This topic is asked straight to the heart. When he asked this, without waiting for Yan Qingwei to answer, Concubine Wu Hui and Princess Yuzhen turned their heads one after another, both looking at Yan Qingwei with blazing eyes.

Yan Qingwei was stunned for a moment when she heard this, she didn't dare to meet the majestic gaze of Emperor Xuanzong, so she turned her head to look at Princess Xianyi, but when she heard this, although Princess Xianyi also raised her head in surprise, she was still sobbing with tears in her eyes.

So she lowered her head and whispered: "Return to Your Majesty, look at it as a slave, Your Royal Highness the Princess...... Her Royal Highness the Princess probably has some good impression of that Li Xi. ”

She was afraid that Princess Xianyi would be unhappy when she heard it, and she didn't dare to say that Princess Xianyi really liked Li Xi, and she went to the small banquet today, in fact, she wanted her brother Shouwang Li Qing to help pimp, so she changed the word and said that she had a good feeling.

However, although the word "favor" is not as direct as liking, it is enough for a few people present to hear the taste.

His Majesty Xuanzong sighed when he heard this.

At this time, Li Fu'er cried and shouted while raising her hand to wipe her tears: "Yan Qingwei, you are not allowed to talk nonsense, where would I like someone like him, stingy, lewd, despicable and shameless!" ”

When she scolded, Concubine Wu Hui and Princess Yuzhen, who were still suspicious in their hearts, suddenly became determined, glanced at each other, and there was a wry smile in the eyes of both parties.

It seems that Fu'er likes Li Xi, there is nothing wrong with it.

Emperor Xuanzong listened to the words of his precious daughter, immediately raised his hand and rubbed his temples, sighed, and sat down on the brocade stool. waved his hand helplessly and said to Yan Qingwei: "There's nothing for you here, go down." ”

Although he is an emperor for the ages, no matter how much power he wields, in front of Princess Li Fu'er of Xianyi, he is first and foremost a father, and when he encounters this kind of thing, he is unspeakably big.

My daughter is fifteen years old, and I have a man I like, which is a good thing, not to mention that the other party is still a young handsome man who can make him a very satisfied father, which is even better, anyway, the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, as long as a holy decree goes down, even if you have a wife, you must divorce that wife and marry my daughter.

But the problem is, this person is Li Xi.

And Li Xi doesn't look down on his daughter at all.

Of course, the bigger problem is that Emperor Xuanzong is like a mirror in his heart, he clearly knows why Li Xi is unwilling to take care of his baby daughter at all, but on the contrary, he vaguely agrees with Li Xi's decision in his heart.

Captain Duma, his rank is very high, and his status is very high, it can be said that as long as he marries his baby daughter, he Li Xi can be guaranteed in this life, and he can have no worries about food and clothing, and he will have a good life. But the problem is that in this way, he can only be a famous and powerless lieutenant, that is, no matter how great he is, he must be held in his stomach.

Since beating Li Xi's letter, Emperor Xuanzong was first angry, then afraid, and then pondered, although until now, he has not made a ruthless decision to what to do, but in fact, he knows very well in his heart that what Li Xi said is definitely a very serious problem, even if he wants to deceive himself, but he can't deceive for long, he must help the next generation solve this problem before he gets old, and he can't leave this big burden to the next generation of emperors.

If this problem is to be solved, although Li Xi may not be able to be the main force to charge into battle, at least as the person who originally put forward this proposal, his opinions, his opinions, and his participation are indispensable.

He didn't kill him, he didn't move him, he just transferred him to Chang'an to stuff him into Guozixue and let him study, so he must have understood, his opinion, he would definitely adopt it, but he hadn't made up his mind for the time being, and he also knew very well in his heart that he was not a foolish emperor who could get by, since he found a problem, sooner or later, he would definitely make a move, and as long as he made a move, he would definitely be useful.

Therefore, in the face of the temptation of Xianyi and Qing'er's alliance, he chose to offend without avoidance.

At the cost of offending their brothers and sisters, he told himself very clearly that he, Li Xi, was unwilling to be a man in captivity, and he was eager to get opportunities, eager to be reused, to show his ambitions.

If it is not his own daughter who falls in love with him, then Emperor Xuanzong is afraid that it will be too late to be happy about this matter, and even, as long as it is not Princess Li Fuer of Xianyi who likes Li Xi, and changes to other daughters, Emperor Xuanzong can probably be very relieved in his heart, but the crying little guy in front of him ...... It's Fu'er!

Emperor Xuanzong was at a loss.

At this time, Concubine Wu Hui and Princess Yuzhen did not speak, only Princess Li Fu'er of Xianyi was there crying and crying earnestly, telling the great grievances in their hearts.

After a long while, Emperor Xuanzong suddenly got up, and said with anger on his face: "That's it, although I also value Li Xi very much, but he dares to insult my daughter like this, how can I spare him!" ”

He walked over, caressed the back of Princess Xianyi Li Fu'er, and said, "Fu'er, don't cry, my father can order him to be captured and killed!" ”

At first glance, Concubine Wu Hui was just stunned, but Princess Yuzhen and Princess Xianyi said in unison: "No!" ”

After finishing speaking, Princess Yuzhen reflected on herself, feeling that she had gone too far, as if she shouldn't be so concerned about Li Xi, a person who had never even met once, and then lowered her head and stopped talking.

Fortunately, at this time, Li Fuer had already occupied everyone's attention, but no one noticed her abnormality.

Li Fu'er stood up, hesitated, and said, "Father, you ...... You can't kill him......" After a pause, she had already stopped crying unconsciously, but her face was slightly red, and she snorted angrily, and said: "Please Father arrest him and hand him over to Fu'er, Fu'er must humiliate him well, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in Fu'er's heart!" ”

Emperor Xuanzong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and waved his hand and said: "No, no, although he wrote poems to humiliate you, but after all, he has his own explanation, and it is not a big crime...... Well, no! ”

After thinking about it, he looked calm, and said: "It's better to catch it and kill it quickly, clean and neat, and there will be no bad discussions between the government and the opposition, and when this matter spreads, he will also fall to the ground, and what others want to say, they have to go behind their backs, and they will not make trouble." In order to help my family Fu'er breathe this out, let them scold me a few times behind my back! ”

"No!"

Li Fu'er was startled again when he heard this, although he hated Li Xi in his heart, but when he saw that his father was so angry and wanted to kill Li Xi to vent his anger, the original anger in his heart really disappeared suddenly somehow.

At the moment, she was babbling for a long time, and then she said: "If my father really cares about me, then ...... Then I'm going to let Li Xi marry me! ”

Hearing her say this, Emperor Xuanzong, who was still angry just now, couldn't help but retract that expression in an instant, but sighed helplessly, thinking: Sure enough, I tried it with such a simple try.

It's just that my father really wants to force Li Xi to marry you? Anyway, as long as Li Xi becomes the captain of the horse, then I will never use him again, so in this case, this matter of dealing with the domain town is like folding an arm in advance!

At this time, Concubine Wu Hui saw Emperor Xuanzong's helplessness, so she couldn't help but stand up and wanted to speak, but she had just opened her mouth to call "San Lang", and saw that Emperor Xuanzong had already waved her hand and said, "Let me think about it, you let me think about it......"

At this time, Princess Xianyi Li Fu'er stopped crying, so the three women stood there and watched Emperor Xuanzong pacing back and forth in the palace again.

After a long time, Emperor Xuanzong stopped, spread his hands helplessly, and said, "Okay, Fu'er, I can not kill Li Xi, but ...... I know that Li Xi was engaged to marry as early as when she was in Shuzhou, so I can't help you snatch her over, if you really like him...... Alas, as long as Li Xi is willing to give you up, I will agree. ”

Thinking about it left and right, there is no good way, so Emperor Xuanzong simply chose a way not to act, and there is no way to do it - Li Xi is still the princess, Fu'er is happy, but I have to lose a great arm to deal with the affairs of the border town, but Li Xi is not a princess, I am happy, since Fu'er is moved by him, his wish is difficult to fulfill, but it is inevitable that he will be depressed, so I don't care, if you can get him to agree to marry you, that is your ability, I have nothing to say, on the contrary, if you can't let him marry you, That's none of my business, I'm not going to help you force him anyway.

Hearing this, Li Fu'er immediately pursed her lips, and wanted to beg for a few words, "Father, you ...... just now"

Emperor Xuanzong waved his hand to interrupt her words, and said in his heart You are still not satisfied, Li Xi was originally prepared by me to be of great use, but now as soon as you open your mouth, I see that you are so wronged, so I will leave him alone, and let you catch it yourself, this is already a great love.

He looked at Princess Xianyi Li Fu'er and said, "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, it is so decided." ”

Li Fu'er pouted again when she heard this, but although Emperor Xuanzong has always favored her, he is also the emperor after all, and he is certainly favored when he spoils her, but once he puts on a straight face, he is also majestic enough. Even if Li Fu'er was so arrogant, seeing his father's face, he still didn't dare to say anything.

So, she turned her head and looked at Concubine Wu Hui pitifully.

At this time, without waiting for Concubine Wu Hui to persuade Li Fu'er, Princess Yuzhen, who had been ignored on the side, suddenly said: "A few days ago, I was invited to a banquet in the house of Imperial Doctor Li Shi, I was unwell at the time, and I didn't go over. ”

As soon as she heard this, Li Fu'er suddenly had a happy face, ran over and hugged Princess Yuzhen, and said happily: "I know that my aunt loves me the most!" ”

Princess Yuzhen smiled when she heard this, this Li Fu'er was grown up by her, and she naturally loved it in her heart, although she hadn't seen Li Xi in person, she had heard his name and listened to his poems for a few months, and she had long thought that he was a strange man born from heaven and earth, so if she had the opportunity, she would be willing to contribute to this matter.

Hearing her say this at this time, Emperor Xuanzong had no choice but to rub his brows and sigh: "Just do it!" ”
