In Li Anning's matter, Xie Yi was bold enough, but he was not helpless enough.

As the princess of Jiangxia County's palace, Li Anning's marriage had to be nodded by Li Daozong and even Emperor Li Shimin.

But Xie Yi wouldn't care about this, since he had decided it, he would not hesitate to take Li Anning into his arms, and would never let her leave again, no matter what external forces interfered with.

Helpless is also Li Anning's identity, because he is Li Daozong's daughter, since the death of Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong is the first person in the clan, holding military power and high power.

Any dynasty should not only be wary of the clan, but also need to rely on it to a certain extent to prevent foreign ministers from having too much power and threatening the imperial power.

Li Daozong is a suitable candidate, capable, and the most important thing is loyalty, and Li Shimin attaches great importance to and relies on him.

Such a person cannot easily participate in the battle for the prince, Li Daozong is self-aware, this is his way of survival, and Li Shimin will not allow it.

Therefore, all matters related to Li Daozong's position are very important, including the marriage of children and daughters. If he marries Li Anning, then he will become the link between the Jiangxia Mansion and the Jin Palace, and this situation will definitely be noticed by other princes, and he will have to secretly make a stumbling block in it, and even Li Shimin himself will be suspicious.

Therefore, before the dust settles, this line must be hidden, and the marriage with Li Anning can only be talked about later, and the little county lord must be wronged.

Fortunately, Li Daozong seems to have a vague tacit understanding, and Li Anning himself doesn't mind. But Xie Yi still felt full of indebtedness, and hoped that Li Anning would not be kept waiting too long.

Although he can't talk about marriage in a bright light for the time being, Li Anning has relaxed a lot when the two hearts have made an alliance, and his heart is even full of joy.

The quiet room was filled with infinite tenderness and sweetness, and then at this moment, footsteps sounded in the doorway. Li Anning suddenly panicked a little, and said in a low voice: "My mother's henchman." Hurry up and hide......"

There wasn't much space in the ashram, there weren't many places to hide, and there wasn't much time to spare. In a hurry, Li Anning didn't think much about it, directly pulled down the curtain in front of the kang, unfolded the futon at the first time, and pushed Xie Yi to it.

It was at this time that the maid's cry came: "County Lord, the stewed soup has been brought to you, and the princess has a message before leaving." Drink it regularly. ”

"Okay, got it, you put it on the stove and warm it, I'll drink it later."

"Hey, county lord, are you sleeping?"

"Yes, I'm a little sleepy and want to sleep for a while."

"County Lord, are you alright? Isn't Mo sick? The maid asked with concern, and was about to lift the curtain as she spoke.

Fortunately, Li Anning reacted quickly enough. He took a step forward and went out first, and said softly: "It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm a little sleepy." It's okay. ”

"Oh, that's good, the slave has retired first, you have a good rest." The maid is very sensible. immediately took the initiative to retreat, which shows that the slave education in Jiangxia Wangfu is still very successful.

"Okay, close the door. This will not bother me. ”

"Yes!" The moment the maid went out and closed the door, Li Anning let out a sigh of relief, and even beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, obviously nervous to the extreme.

Princess Jiangxia is very concerned about her life, and the maid takes care of her very properly, not to mention, and will report her every move back to the house. It is nominally caring, but in reality it is much less freedom, and if the situation today is seen by the maid, I don't know how serious the consequences will be?

It's just that......

As soon as Li Anning looked up, he found a man lying next to him, and this man was still lying in the same bed as himself. If this scene is seen by the maid, and then known by Princess Jiangxia, it will be even more terrible, so thinking about it is more and more afraid.

At the same time, I am more afraid of embarrassment, and the lonely man and widow are lying in the same quilt on a hot kang, and they are close together, and so on......

In an instant, Li Anning's pretty face and pink neck turned crimson, as long as he looked up slightly to see the man's tender gaze, he couldn't help but tremble, when the air flow he breathed touched the skin on his forehead, the crimson pretty face was still hot, and then his whole body began to have a hot feeling.

Li Anning lowered his head, eager to bury himself in the quilt, but the distance between the two was too close, and it touched Xie Yi's solid chest at once. It was the first time to be so close to a man, and when a strong man's masculine aura came to his face, Li Anning couldn't help but feel a little flurry and a little confused.

Xie Yi is not Yanagi Hui, so it is naturally impossible to sit idly by and not mess up, when a beautiful and mutually agreeable beauty "throws herself into her arms", when she is so shy and charming, how can she endure it as a man with strong blood? So naturally, there was a slight reaction.

Under the quilt, Li Anning clearly noticed this change, she is not a little girl anymore, she still understands these things. Especially when Xie Yi reached into her robe, everything was already very clear.

"Don't ...... This is a Taoist temple, it's not good to ...... like this," Li Anning hurriedly excused himself.

Xie Yi said with a smile: "It's okay, Lao Jun won't blame, his old man is definitely willing to become a good fate in the world, and even willing to be a witness." I promise you, this life will live up to the old gentleman. ”

A good one to live up to the old gentleman, Li Anning's heart suddenly throbbed, and there were ripples in circles, that is, at the moment of heartbeat, Xie Yi's fingers had already slid to the cotton clothes under the Taoist robe, and he was unbuttoning the clothes.

"No, if someone comes in later, then it's ......" Li Anning had a lot of worries in his heart, and his face was even more shy.

"It's okay, don't worry...... You don't have to worry about the reputation, the promise I gave you is witnessed by Lao Jun, and I will never let you down. ”

"Well......" Li Anning believes in Xie Yi's character very much, and his heart has long been occupied by the man in front of him, so to some extent, he is acquiescing. even felt that it might be a good thing for raw rice to be cooked and ripened, but when the time came, the mother concubine would have no way to stop it, so she could only admit it.

As for Xie Yi, his character is trustworthy. Moreover, if there is any man in the world who dares to sleep with the county lord of Jiangxia Palace's mansion and does not admit it, he will definitely be torn apart by Li Daozong, Xie Yi should not dare.

The resistance was small, so it had the meaning of half-pushing and half-pushing, and when the buttons of the cotton clothes were all unbuttoned, Li Anning closed his eyes......

Although spring is cold, spring has finally arrived, especially in this quiet room where the hot kang is extremely warm. The drapery fell. In the hibiscus tent, it can be called spring......

……

For a long time, Li Anning felt very unreal.

Especially after the emptiness around her and the fact that the majestic man had left, she felt that everything before seemed to be a dream.

But the feeling of being pampered is so real, there is still his breath on the warm kang, especially the pain that still faintly comes from the body, which confirms that all this is real.

But in half a day, her identity has changed dramatically, and she is no longer an ignorant girl. Now she is his favorite little woman......

Everything happened a little too suddenly, and after ignorance and infinite happiness, Li Anning suddenly felt a little worried......

Counting the days, there should be no pregnancy, although she vaguely looks forward to such a day, but now this time is obviously not suitable, but there is no need to worry.

It's just that the bed after the madness is inevitably a little messy, and it is naturally very necessary to tidy it up, at least not so that the maid can see the traces.

It's just that...... Look at the bright red on the silk surface of the mattress. This must not be seen by others. Yes...... Before he left, he should have shown it to him carefully, why did he forget it?

For a moment, the little county lord's already radiant face was flushed again......

……

The fourteenth day of the first month. Li Zhi, the king of Jin, brought the princess Wang and his sister Princess Jinyang as guests at the Rimchuan villa.

Li Zhi's travel is slightly easier, but it is not an easy task for Princess Li Mingda of Shan Jinyang to travel, and Wei Guifei's side does not approve of it. Fortunately, Li Shimin doted on his daughter and couldn't stand her daughter's repeated pleas. Eventually, yes.

Gongchuan Villa is a safe place, Xie Yi is very relieved, and Li Zhi and his wife are going. Then there is nothing to worry about. This little son, who is growing up, is very good, he does things properly, and he loves his sister very much, it is rare to see them so close and fraternal, and His Majesty Li Er is happy to see it.

In the second half of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, the atmosphere in Chang'an was too depressing, and the children were not happy.

With permission, Li Mingda didn't mention how happy he was, and happily followed Li Zhi and his wife to the Gongchuan villa.

The spring is cold, but most of the snow in the mountains has melted, and the scenery is naturally much better than in Chang'an City. Probably not out of the city for a long time, Princess Jinyang was quite excited, happy like a lark.

Li Zhi and Wang Yan glanced at each other, and they both remembered the gossip they had inadvertently said that day, is it because of the scenery or because of people that my sister is so happy?

After this year, Princess Jinyang is already twelve years old, which is already an age when you can promise marriage in Datang.

After the carriage of the palace, Di Renjie rode a horse with him, and was responsible for deploying and managing the guards and entourage of the palace along the way. The little boy of the Di family back then is now a good-looking, gentle and elegant son.

The Di family has a good background, and has been taught by famous teachers in the Jin Palace, and is a deep companion of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, so his status and demeanor are naturally completely different.

Today, when I went to Gongchuan Villa as a guest, Di Renjie naturally accompanied him, if only Li Zhi went, Di Renjie would probably be with him. But today, with a female dependent, he has to avoid suspicion, after all, he is already a young man, and the defense of men and women still has to have scruples.

Princess Jinyang often goes in and out of the Jin Palace, and some relatives and friends joke in private that he wants him to seize the opportunity and strive to become a concubine. But Di Renjie didn't have the slightest thought, but he hadn't seen Xie Xiaoman for a long time, but he really missed it a little.

Thinking of this, the young Di Renjie couldn't help but blush a little.

……

A line of mountain roads, all the way to the scenery.

It was probably suppressed in Chang'an City for too long, and several young people felt extremely happy.

Because it was the arrival of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the Lantian County Commander dispatched early to send messengers to clean the roads and maintain order, so as not to disturb the interest of the King of Jin and his wife and Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Fortunately, since the Xie family built the Gongchuan villa here, they have taken good care of the surrounding people, and the Xie family's investment in the safety of the surrounding area is even greater. There is no problem in this regard, which saves Lantian County Commander a lot of trouble.

The cement road built by the Xie family is directly to the Gongchuan villa, which is very convenient to walk in, and even Wang Yan praised it repeatedly: "Master Xie is really a very person, such a road is hard and convenient, don't worry about wind, rain and floods, and it is very convenient for people and businesses to come and go." If the entire road of the Tang Dynasty is built like this, it will be too convenient, whether it is business travel, material transportation, or the mobilization of soldiers and horses.

But why isn't there promotion? Could it be that Xie Changshi never made suggestions to the imperial court? Your Highness, what the hell is going on? ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "Xie Changshi is naturally not a person who hides his own secrets, although this cement road is good, but there are also problems with national promotion." Di Renjie and I also inquired about this matter, and Xie Changshi said that there were two reasons.

One is the problem of materials, a large amount of cement is needed for national promotion, so how many stone kilns to burn cement must be built? It is not necessary to mine mountains and rocks, occupy land, and consume people's resources, but the current Datang is not so rich; Secondly, the concrete road is sturdy and unaffected by rain, so pedestrians are not affected, but horseback riding and carriages can be problematic.

The horse's hooves will have bumps and bounce when stepping on the soil, but there is no on the cement pavement, and the horse's leg joints will be affected in the long run. Then there are the wheels, the wooden wheels run fast in this area, the vibration is too great, and the wear and tear will be very serious. ”

"Ah, how so?" Princess Jin Wang Yan opened her mouth wide, and she seemed to have a feeling of disbelief.

"We didn't believe it at first, but Di Renjie personally investigated it later, and the legs of the horses that often come and go to the Rimchuan Villa are indeed damaged, and the wear and tear of the carriage wheels is also relatively large."

Li Zhi said softly: "The wheels of Xie Changshi's carriage are wrapped with things like velvet fish gelatin, but the problem of shock resistance and damage reduction has only been slightly alleviated. ”

Wang Yan asked curiously, "Then this problem can't be solved?" ”

Li Zhi groaned: "No, it seems that I heard Xie Changshi mention it once by chance, unless there is something called rubber......

"What is rubber?"

"I don't know, Xie Changshi has always had a whimsical idea, and he said something special, just saying that the potatoes, corn, and peppers, have anyone seen them in the past?"

"Tomatoes are the best!" Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang, who had been silent, suddenly stretched out her head and said that she seemed to be more interested in the problem of eating.

Li Zhi smiled: "It's also my father who favors you, these years of focusing on breeding, the fruit is particularly precious, except that few people should taste such a tomato, right?" ”

"No, people ate half of it, and the seeds were left!" Li Mingda is coquettish, as if he has regained his innocence.

Just when everyone was laughing, the Rim River Villa was already in sight. (To be continued.) )
