Chapter 0372: Princess Yuzhen
Li Ang had no choice but to follow Li Tengkong to Princess Yuzhen's annex on the bank of the Qujiang River.
The annex is built according to the water, the hall is green and bamboo, the pavilions and pavilions are all hidden in a group of emerald green, it seems very quiet, the women who come and go wear Taoist robes, but the appearance is beautiful, the figure is moving, presumably most of them are palace maids.
After entering the annex, Li Tengkong took him around and around, and came to a small building behind, the small building faces the curved pond, the water waves are rippling, the water birds are flying, and there are hundreds of white cranes perched on the bamboo forest at the water's edge, and the bamboo branches are bent, and a pleasant sound is heard from time to time.
The small building is carved and painted, reflected in the sparkling waves, and in the open railing, a woman in Taoist costume is playing against a middle-aged scribe.
The middle-aged scribe was in his forties, with an elegant appearance, and the first impression he had was that he was quiet.
Li Tengkong brought Li Ang in, and said first: "Princess, Li Ang has brought." ”
Princess Yuzhen, who was holding a white child and was undecided, glanced up at Li Ang, and Li Ang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Xiaguan Li Ang, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Princess Yuzhen looked like a woman in her early forties, but Leon knew that her real age was definitely more than forty years old, but because she was well-maintained, she looked younger.
Although she was wearing a Taoist dress, she couldn't hide her graceful and luxurious appearance.
Princess Yuzhen's gaze stayed on Li Ang's face for a long time, and she didn't speak, but the handsome middle-aged guy who was playing against her got up and bowed: "Xiaguan Wang Wei, I've seen Li Changshi." ”
Wang wei? Leon was all too familiar with the name, having grown up reading his poems as a child. There are no people in the empty mountains, but when you hear people's voices, you return to the deep forest. Shine on the moss. Who is not familiar with these verses? I didn't expect to see a real person here.
Now Wang Wei is in charge of the affairs of the department, in addition to being in charge of the affairs of the department, he is in charge of the selection and replacement of foreign officials. Go up from the five grades.
Li Ang's governor Shi is from the fourth rank to the top rank, and he also has a general doctor under the fourth rank in his body. In terms of grade, it is several levels higher than Wang Wei. So he got up first and saluted Leon.
"Wang Langzhong is polite!" Li Ang replied to him, although Wang Wei relied on Princess Yuzhen to ascend to the throne, and he was not very good as an official, but in literature. It is indeed extraordinary.
In fact, Princess Yuzhen's annex is like a cultural salon. Bringing together a large number of talents from all walks of life, she can be said to be selecting talents for the royal family.
Therefore, what can be taken by Princess Yuzhen is not just handsome. At least have some outstanding talent in some way. It is possible to get her recommendation.
"Leon, do you know why I suddenly want to see you?" Princess Yuzhen looked at Li Ang for a while before asking with a smile.
Li Ang arched his hand and replied: "The princess is a fairy, and what she thinks and thinks is really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like Li Ang. ”
Princess Yuzhen smiled and said, "You, this mouth is really sweet." When she said this, she suddenly turned her head and asked Li Tengkong, "Tengkong, along the way." You weren't fooled by him, were you? ”
Li Tengkong couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment, and denied it in his mouth: "No." Princess, this guy is very proud, I told him princess you want to see him, he is still reluctant, princess, you must clean him up! ”
Princess Yuzhen smiled and said: "Vacate, you have always been the only one who bullied others, how have you ever seen others bully you, look at you can't wait to find me to complain, shouldn't it be that you were bullied miserably along the way?" ”
Li Tengkong couldn't hide it now, her whole face was flushed, Princess Yuzhen was right, in this Chang'an City, she had never sued others, because there was no need for that. But this time...... She subconsciously glanced at Li Ang, and actually stomped her feet and ran.
Princess Yuzhen smiled even more happily, and after a while, she suppressed her laughter and said to Li Ang: "Sit down, I have read your Huanhuaxi poetry collection, and each of them is a good work." Maha has profound attainments in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and the two of you are here today, so you might as well have a good discussion. ”
When Li Ang heard this, he felt that something was wrong, Princess Yuzhen seemed to have the intention of taking the school examination, and she also invited characters like Wang Wei to take the exam, what kind of thing is this!
He immediately replied: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Wang Langzhong was born in the top rank, learned and rich, and talented, how dare you speak and learn from you, if you can get Wang Langzhong's advice, it is already an honor." To tell the truth, Wen Mo is really not good at it, and he occasionally got two lines of poetry, but it was just a coincidence, which made Her Royal Highness the princess and Wang Langzhong smile. ”
Leon is telling the truth, but others only think he is humble and will not take it seriously.
Wang Wei didn't like his style a little, and felt that he was a little hypocritical, so he just smiled faintly and didn't speak.
Princess Yuzhen covered her mouth and smiled: "Maha, I have read his words, indeed...... Hehe! ”
Really, huh? Li Ang smiled bitterly, the popular phrase "hehe" was passed down from Princess Zhenyu.
He coughed lightly and sighed: "Let the princess see the smile, my words really can't be on the table, when I was a child, I wandered around with the first teacher, hungry, full, no money to buy pen and ink, the first teacher taught me to read, all with branches on the ground to draw." It took these two years to have the opportunity to use pen and ink. ”
When he said this, Wang Wei was a little relieved.
Princess Yuzhen felt sympathy, and at the same time couldn't help but think of her life as a child.
Don't look at her being born in the royal family, but when she was a child, the martial arts family was in power and persecuted the Li clan on a large scale, her father Li Dan was forced to give up the throne twice, and her biological mother was persecuted to death, and even the bones could not be found;
They spent their early years in trembling, although they were not like Leon who could not eat, but their lives were threatened at all times, and life was no better than Leon.
Thinking of this, Princess Yuzhen felt a little sympathetic, but fortunately, everything had passed, and she asked people to bring tea and chatted with Li Ang.
Li Ang had already found out from Li Tengkong's mouth that Princess Yuzhen saw him this time because of the rumors that he was the grandson of the emperor, probably she was helping the emperor understand a little more about the situation in order to determine whether it was true or false. Li Ang pretended not to know, and chatted with Princess Yuzhen in the open air.
Sure enough, Princess Yuzhen soon turned the topic to his life experience, and asked in a harmonious voice: "There are rumors outside the world about your defeat of Tubo in Longyou, and I am not interested in these things. But now that there is a legend that you are my nephew's child, I can't help but ask. ”
As soon as Li Ang heard this, he immediately said solemnly: "Your Royal Highness, how can you believe the rumors outside? I am an orphan who has been displaced since childhood, how can I have anything to do with the royal family, rumors outside, it is really because of Wang Zhonghei, two days ago in the court, Wang Zhongsi was impeached by many imperial histories, he was probably forced to be anxious, so I want to divert everyone's attention. ”
Princess Yuzhen said calmly: "What kind of person Wang Zhongsi is, I know better than you, no matter how anxious he is, he will not say anything." ”
"This ......" Li Ang really couldn't say anything more now.
Princess Yuzhen continued, "Do you know who I remembered when I first saw you? ”
Li Ang shook his head honestly and said, "The lower officials don't know. ”
Princess Yuzhen didn't say who she was thinking of, but continued: "Tell me everything you did when you were a child." ”
Her attitude is like treating her own children and nephews, she does not have a high-minded princess posture, but seems to be a family member pulling family routines.
According to the previous words, Li Ang briefly talked about his so-called experience, and wanted to deal with it.
As a result, Princess Yuzhen was not so easy to deal with, and after she listened, she began to ask in detail, such as where she had been before, what she had seen and heard, and even how many gates she had been to those cities.
Li Ang seemed to answer very casually, but he was actually very cautious, and tried to avoid the state and county when he talked eloquently, although he didn't show any obvious horses, but after listening to it, Princess Yuzhen was still a little suspicious.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, after I was twelve years old, I followed my ancestor to retreat to Siguniang Mountain. But there is one point, I want to emphasize again, Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't have to bother, I really have nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, and the rumors outside are not credible. ”
No matter what the occasion, Li Ang denied that he had anything to do with the royal family, but his attitude made Princess Yuzhen feel much more at ease, Li Ang himself did not admit that he was related to the Tang Dynasty, and his attitude was firm, according to this, there was no need for him to lie and deceive people.
It's just that she grew up watching the waste prince Ying back then, and Li Ang's appearance is indeed a little like the waste prince Ying back then. And the jade wrench has been ascertained, and it is indeed the thing of the abolished Prince Ying back then. If you still say that this is a simple coincidence, it will be unbelievable.
It's just that if Li Ang is really the child of the deposed prince Ying, why was he abandoned in such a remote place as Jiannan?
Seeing that Princess Yuzhen still had doubts, Li Ang simply said: "If Her Royal Highness the princess wants to check whether I have anything to do with the royal family, then you don't have to bother with it, I am an orphan who has been abandoned on the side of the road since I was a child, and it is impossible to have anything to do with the royal family." If the princess had nothing else to do, then Leon would have taken her leave. ”
Princess Yuzhen smiled bitterly and said, "Li Ang, are you still worried about the affairs of the three concubines back then?" Princess Yuzhen felt that it was probably for this reason that made Li Ang very disgusted with the relationship with the royal family.
Li Ang's expression changed, and he immediately said with a straight face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it is a capital crime to pretend to be a royal bloodline, Li Ang once again declares that I am just an abandoned baby, and it is impossible to have anything to do with the royal family." ”
"Does it matter, the Holy Lord and I will naturally investigate, before the matter is clear, you blindly deny it, are you already planning to refuse to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors?" Princess Yuzhen frowned slightly when she said this.
"Xia Guan didn't mean that, but Xia Guan thought that he couldn't be a royal bloodline, princess, think about it yourself, if I am really a royal bloodline, how can I be abandoned in the wilderness at the junction of Tang and Tibet? It simply doesn't make sense. ”
"If your mother is Princess Dolma of the Tibetan Subi tribe, maybe that makes sense."
"Princess, you ......".
