Chapter 381: More Important Things
"Tao'er! I ......" Li Chengqi didn't know what to say.
Yesterday, Hua Yunfeng cured Li Jin's illness, and Li Chengqi was so happy. But after being happy, I remembered that I had forgotten about the idea of finding Li Tao. This princess Taiping was still waiting for her reply, so early this morning, Li Chengqi came to Li Tao again.
"Uncle, but brother's illness has recurred?" Li Tao asked deliberately.
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with Jin'er, Tao'er, I just want to ask you the prince......"
"Uncle, I ask you something, if you can trust me, then answer me truthfully!" Li Tao's questioning was the same as yesterday.
"Just ask!" Li Chengqi is not what Li Tao wants to do.
"Uncle, if I'm not mistaken, music is your biggest preference, right?"
Li Chengqi nodded: "That's right!" ”
"Can you tell me, then, that it is important for you to be a prince? Or is it more important to have good music to listen to every day? ”
Li Chengqi pondered for a moment and said, "It's more important to have a good song to listen to." ”
"Uncle, let's go, I'll take you somewhere!"
……
"It's called Pear Garden, and the scenery is good, right?" Li Tao introduced to Li Chengqi.
"Not bad, but ......"
"Uncle, let's go, I'll surprise you!" Li Tao interrupted Li Chengqi again and walked forward.
Li Chengqi had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and follow forward.
"Everyone, haven't seen you for a long time?" Li Tao greeted Xi Xiaoqian.
"It's Li Xiaolangjun, please take a seat!" Although Li Tao is now the king of the county, Xi Xiaoqian still calls Li Tao according to the previous habit.
"Everyone. Is there any new song that I can smell first? Li Tao said with a smile.
"What a new song, my new song is not all leftovers from you." Xi Xiaoqian also joked.
Xi Xiaoqian was right. Li Tao told Xi Xiaoqian what he knew about music in later generations, although it was very one-sided, but for Xi Xiaoqian, it was like a treasure, she participated in it every day, and really realized a lot of different things.
"Li Xiaolangjun, I don't know who this is?" Xi Xiaoqian looked at Li Chengqi and said.
"This is my uncle Li Chengqi. Although he is King Ning, he is an authentic Taoist, and there is no need to treat him as an outsider. Don't be polite with him, you can learn from each other's strengths. Li Tao introduced.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Ning!" Xi Xiaoqian saluted Li Chengqi.
"Everyone, don't call me King Ning, your name is Tao'er Li Xiaolangjun. Then call me Li Langjun! Li Chengqi said heartily.
"Everyone. My uncle is a guest, so how about playing the song we first met for him? Li Tao said.
Xi Xiaoqian glanced at Li Tao, the song "Liang Zhu" is only known to the two of them, Xi Xiaoqian has never played for outsiders, but today Li Tao made such a request, which shows that Li Chengqi has a lot of weight in his heart.
"Uncle, you can appreciate it slowly! I'm out for a walk! Li Tao got up with a smile and walked out.
……
At dusk, Li Tao and Li Chengqi left the pear orchard in a carriage.
"I said uncle. Just let you enjoy the good music, but you sit straight for a day. It's so bad that I'm waiting! As he spoke, Li Tao also exaggeratedly slapped his waist in the carriage.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!" Li Chengqi was still immersed in the atmosphere just now and couldn't extricate himself.
"Uncle, how's it going?"
"I used to boast that I was very accomplished in music, but when I saw Xi, everyone knew that I was really superficial!" Li Chengqi said sincerely.
Li Tao said with a smile: "If you want, you can come to the table from time to time, it's not difficult." It's just that I'm hungry now, uncle, you have to be the boss today! ”
"That's it, Tao'er, I'll invite you today!" Li Chengqi laughed.
When the wine was hot, Li Chengqi still did not forget his original intention of coming to Li Tao: "Tao'er, you haven't told me yet, this prince is ......"
"Uncle, I ask you something, if you can trust me, then ...... truth"
Before Li Tao's words were finished, Li Chengqi interrupted: "Tao'er, don't interrupt me again, just tell me directly, what should I do?" ”
"I already told you!" Li Tao said with a smile.
"Told me?" Li Chengqi was confused.
"If you think about the situation in these two days, you will understand!"
Li Chengqi's heart moved: "Tao'er, what do you mean ......?"
"My meaning is very simple, if the crown prince is the most important in your heart, then you will fight for it without hesitation. If there is anything more important than the position of the crown prince, then you have to weigh it. Speaking of this, Li Tao smiled and said: "Actually, haven't you already made a decision in the past two days, uncle?" ”
Li Chengqi was enlightened.
"How many things Princess Taiping has experienced over the years, but she can always stand, is it easy to get along? The reason why she strongly urges you to be this prince is not because she is good to you, but because she is sure to control you, and you must know that her ambition is no less than that of any man. ”
"Tao'er, what you said is really to the point!"
"Uncle, let me tell you the truth, don't be angry, don't say it's you King Ning, even if it's Your Majesty, it's not Princess Taiping's opponent. Among the few of you who are qualified to be the crown prince, only King Ping can compete with her, and she has to be at a disadvantage from time to time, what about the others......" Li Tao didn't say any more, just shook his head.
Li Chengqi laughed at himself: "Tao'er, what you said is not wrong at all, I still have this self-knowledge, but how can I reply to Princess Taiping?" ”
Li Tao smiled: "Just reply truthfully!" ”
"But how can Princess Taiping take a break?" Li Chengqi said worriedly.
"If you say ambiguously that you don't want to be the prince, she won't pursue it."
"Why is that?" Li Chengqi was puzzled.
"Princess Taiping thinks that everyone is like her and will not give up the power in her hands, and the more ambiguous you are, the more she thinks you want to be the crown prince. As for what you will do in the end, you can decide for yourself, and she can't blame you, because you did say that you didn't want to be the prince, and she had to suffer a dumb loss. ”
Li Chengqi sighed and said, "Fortunately, Princess Taiping's opponent is not you, otherwise it would be her great misfortune." ”
Li Tao smiled but said nothing.
Li Chengqi seemed to suddenly remember something, and he said solemnly: "Tao'er, let me ask you something, if you can trust me, then answer me truthfully!" ”
Li Tao was stunned and said: "Uncle, you learn quickly, this is not what I ...... yesterday."
Li Tao saw that Li Chengqi's face was serious, not like a joke, so he stopped and said solemnly: "Uncle, you ask, I will answer you truthfully." ”
"Tao'er, in fact, you have the best chance of being the emperor, why do you keep keeping yourself out of the matter?" (To be continued......)
