Grapes are very interesting to say - the green jerky is not necessarily sour, and the red purple may not be sweet, until the moment you put it in your mouth, you can't determine whether the grapes are sour or sweet, as for whether it is delicious or not, it is only the people who eat it can understand, of course, the grapes are delicious or not is secondary, the first thing to ensure is that you can't eat a grape and cause the grape trellis in the backyard to collapse, otherwise, the fun will be great, this is not, Li Zhen, who had the heart to eat grapes, staggered into the backyard with an ulterior heart, regardless of the cold weather, after wandering around the yard blindly, he finally mustered up the courage and rushed into his bedroom with the determination to die.

"Your Highness." When a group of girls and mothers saw that Li Zhen was coming, they hurriedly stopped talking and laughing, got up, and each of them saluted, and for a while the sound of warblers and swallows rang non-stop.

"Excuse me, is the princess up?" Although this bedroom is Li Zhen's bedroom, because Pei Yan is pregnant, Li Zhen, who has been busy with affairs recently, is afraid that it will affect Pei Yan's rest, and has not stayed in this bedroom, generally in the study or in the barracks, that is, every day to take some time to accompany Pei Yan to talk, these days the military situation is urgent, Li Zhen has been busy all night, and he has not returned to the bedroom for three days.

"Your Royal Highness, you can be regarded as coming, the princess has been talking about it several times these days, if you don't come, the mother is really in a hurry." Before the people could reply, the cotton curtain in the inner room opened a crack, and Ruxiang's cunning little face came out from behind the curtain and made fun of Li Zhen.

Dead girl, no big or small! Li Zhen has a headache with Rue Xiang's girl, without him, Ruxiang's small mouth has always been unforgiving, she is a sister with Pei Yan, and she is Yan Shiba's wife who has not passed the door, even if there is anything wrong, Li Zhen is not too responsible for her, not to mention that although this little girl is a little harsh, she is all from Pei Yan's position to say things, there is nothing bad about it, Li Zhen has not seen anyone for a few days, she is already a little weak-hearted, plus this time she is here to appease the grape trellis, so she can't worry about Rue Xiang, in desperation, she glanced at Ru Xiang, pretending not to hear the joke in Ruxiang's words, she opened the cotton curtain without saying anything, and walked into the bedroom, Rue Xiang didn't care about Li Zhen's "anger" at all, stretched out her little fragrant tongue, made a grimace, flashed, and exited the inner room.

"Your Highness." Pei Yan, who was leaning on the thick cotton pillow, was lying at the head of the pit when she saw Li Zhen enter the room, and she was busy holding her thick waist and was about to get up to greet her, so Li Zhen hurriedly rushed forward, helped Pei Yan up, and said gently: "Yan'er, lie down quickly, be careful to flash your waist." Then he caressed Pei Yan's smooth cheeks lovingly, and said with a smile: "Yan'er, this king has a lot of things to do these days, and you are cold, you won't complain about this king." ”

Pei Yan leaned on Li Zhen's thick chest, her face was full of happiness, she gently patted Li Zhen's arm, and said softly: "Your Highness, what are you talking about, Your Highness is a person who does great things, if you go around in front of the concubine all day long, wouldn't you miss a big thing, this is what the concubine knows." ”

"Hmm." Facing Pei Yan's tenderness, Li Zhen felt that she couldn't open that mouth, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she answered softly, hugged Pei Yan, and sat quietly on the head of the pit.

"Your Highness, do you have something to tell your concubine?" Pei Yan is a smart woman in ice and snow, and her intuition is even more accurate and frightening, although Li Zhen has never opened her mouth, but Pei Yan can guess that Li Zhen must have something important to talk about here, seeing that Li Zhen is silent, this provokes the topic.

"Ah, no, it's not a big deal." Li Zhen was stabbed in her mind, and immediately became a little embarrassed, and responded hesitantly.

"Your Highness." Pei Yan twisted her body, raised her face, looked at Li Zhen's dodgy eyes, and said seriously: "Your Highness, the concubine is not an unreasonable person, if Your Highness has something, you can say it, although the concubine is not talented, she can also help refer to one or two." ”

In the face of Pei Yan's reasonableness, Li Zhen couldn't help but feel a burst of guilt in her heart, and she couldn't bear to open that mouth, but the problem was that the current situation was pressing, and Li Zhen couldn't afford to retreat, and in desperation, she could only be ruthless, gritted her teeth and said: "Yan'er, you must have heard some rumors that the Western Turkic army has besieged Yizhou, and the war is urgent. ”

Pei Yan is pregnant, and since she arrived at Jiaohe, she rarely goes out of the room, but because most of the maids around her are the wives of the guards in the house, she still knows about the military and politics of Anxi, and as for the major events such as the Western Turkic army sending to Yizhou, she heard that Li Zhen was going to lead the army to recruit in person, and she couldn't help but feel a tightening heart, a pair of small hands held Li Zhen's arm tightly, frowned and said: "Your Highness, the enemy army is strong, this battle is ......."

"Don't get in the way, this king has already calculated, this battle will definitely be won, but it's just ......" Li Zhen said this, and suddenly lost the courage to continue, and stopped talking.

"Your Highness......" Seeing that Li Zhen's words were slurred, Pei Yan's brows tightened, and she looked at Li Zhen worriedly, and whispered softly.

That's it, what should come is always coming! Li Zhen shook her head with a wry smile and said: "Yan'er, this land of Anxi is not a situation where my Tang family is dominant, all forces are entangled, although this king is confident that he can defeat the army of the Western Turks, but he is unable to take into account the Qiuci country's exploitation, if he can't stabilize the rear, this battle really can't go on, this truth Yan'er should be clear, and now this king has a way to temporarily stabilize the Qiuci country, so that it will not cause chaos during our army's expedition, but I am afraid that I will be wronged Yan'er, this king really has some sub-commissions who will not go down." ”

"What is Your Highness talking about, the concubine is a princess, and she should share her worries for Her Highness, but with the concubine in her place, Your Highness can only give the order, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of her, the concubine will accompany Her Highness to break through." Seeing Li Zhen's face full of distress, Pei Yan laughed, leaned her cheek on Li Zhen's chest, and said softly but resolutely.

"Yan'er, this king can be his wife, it is really a blessing for three lives." Li Zhen patted Pei Yan's back lovingly, and said in a deep voice: "Yan'er, do you remember the singer sent by King Qiuzi a few months ago? ”

"Lizza? The concubine naturally remembers, but His Royal Highness seems to have forgotten about others, so many times, since His Royal Highness handed over Miss Lizhuo to the concubine, I have never seen His Royal Highness ask again, speaking of which, this girl is really a character, singing and dancing Qin San will never say, what is even more rare is that not only can he speak official words, but he is also quite good at writing, and he is very beautiful in cursive, and he is dignified and generous, I really don't know how she learned such a skill as a singer, ah......" Pei Yan said this, and suddenly whispered: "Your Highness, I'm afraid there is something strange about this matter, how can such a character come from the people, it must be ......"

"Hmm." Li Zhen nodded and said: "What Yan'er said is right, this person is indeed not simple, but the king already knows his intentions, and he doesn't have any bad intentions, it's just ......, but this king didn't intend to accept it, but now the situation is urgent, if you want to temporarily stabilize the country of Qiuzi, this king can only do his best, but he just succumbed to Yan'er." ”

Although Li Zhen's words were vague, Pei Yan heard it clearly, knowing that the meaning of Li Zhen's words was just the intention of Na Lizhuo as a side room, although she was curious about Lizhuo's true identity, but seeing that Li Zhen didn't say it explicitly, she wouldn't ask about it, and then looked at Li Zhen's embarrassed look, Pei Yan couldn't help laughing, pinched Li Zhen fiercely, and glanced at Li Zhen and said, "Look at what His Highness said, is the concubine really a jealous woman?" According to my Tang system, His Royal Highness should have two widows, ten people, this is the law, have to obey, how can the concubine not know, if His Royal Highness thinks that Li Zhuo can be royal, accept it, according to the concubine body, this woman's literary style, appearance is not bad, and I admire His Royal Highness in my heart, but I will not give in to His Highness, alas, but His Royal Highness must not hurt people's hearts in the future. ”

According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, if the prince has a concubine, he will be regarded as one product, and two widows will be regarded as five products; Ten women, six products, these are formal rank of the wife, in addition to the number of concubines can be insufficient, concubines, widows are must have, this is the Tang system, can not be violated, generally speaking, the princes of the Tang Dynasty are polywives and children, before the establishment of concubines, there are often already widows and concubines, only Li Zhen is an exception, not only before the marriage without a concubine, but also after the marriage has never accepted the concubine room, of course, Li Zhen is busy with government affairs, no time to take care of this matter, but more is the love of Pei Yan, this Pei Yan naturally knows in his heart, Therefore, seeing that Li Zhen was so embarrassed in order to accept a concubine, Pei Yan was really moved, of course, a slight loss was inevitable, even though Pei Yan covered it up well, but the careful Li Zhen still noticed it.

Li Zhen is not a Lu man who does not understand the amorous feelings, and he has not played much in his previous life, but it is precisely because he has seen a lot that he feels the preciousness of true love, so Li Zhen never wants to have anything wrong with Pei Yan, seeing Pei Yan's hypocritical attack, Li Zhen is even more guilty, but the problem is that Li Zhen really does not have much choice in the current situation, so he can only pat Pei Yan's shoulder, and forced himself to laugh and say: "No, how can this king be that kind of person." Li Zhen didn't want to continue this topic, so when she said this, she changed the topic, stretched out a hand, stroked Pei Yan's bulging abdomen, and said with a smile: "Yan'er, what has this little guy been doing these days?" ”

Pei Yan is more than eight months pregnant, and the little guy in her belly has already tossed so much, these days she has been kicking and beating, so much so that Pei Yan doesn't dare to go out of the room, no, Li Zhen's big hand just stuck to her abdomen, and the little guy doesn't seem to have much cold to the salty pig hand, so he immediately flew up and kicked Pei Yan's round belly trembling, that is, through the thick cotton jacket, the strength also made Li Zhen startled, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, and smirked and said: "Ha, Yan'er, this little guy is really dishonest, is so able to toss in the mother's womb, and he will definitely be a naughty boy in the future. ”

Pei Yan didn't expect the little guy in her stomach to suddenly come up and down so ruthlessly, she was also shocked, and just relieved her breath, seeing Li Zhen's smug smirk, she immediately couldn't hold back her laughter, patted Li Zhen's hand and said: "If you have a father, you must have a son, and when you want to come to Your Highness, you must be a noisy character when you are in Yan Fei's mother's belly." ”

"How can it be, this king was obedient when he was a child, hehe, come, Yan'er, let this king listen again." Li Zhen has lived for two generations, and it is the first time to be a father, but the expectation is tight, at this time, the grape trellis is supported, the mood is greatly relaxed, and the child who is about to be born is tender, saying this, his head is lowered, and he sticks it on Pei Yan's belly, and listens to it, but he never thinks that the little guy is very faceless, and he doesn't move for a long time, which makes Li Zhen very faceless.

The war is imminent, Pei Yan cherishes the time she spends alone with Li Zhen, but Pei Yan is not an ordinary woman after all, she knows that before the war is the busiest time, if she misses the military situation because of her children's personal affairs, once she loses, it is not a joke, therefore, after Li Zhen made a fuss for a while, Pei Yan gently pushed Li Zhen's chest and said: "Your Highness, the war is coming, everything is busy, the concubine can take care of herself, you better hurry up, the concubine is waiting for His Royal Highness to return triumphantly in this mansion!" ”

"Well, the king will leave first, Yan'er can take care of herself, if there is something, immediately call Imperial Doctor Liu and Wang Ma to come and wait, this king can't wait to hold his son." Li Zhen also knew that this was not the lingering hour, so she didn't stay longer, got up, walked to the door, turned around uneasily, and explained again, the voice was louder, and Li Zhen had already opened the cotton curtain at this time, and the maids and old mothers outside could all hear it, and immediately laughed a lot, so ashamed that Pei Yan waved a small pink fist with a red face, and got into the quilt and no longer showed her face.

Damn, these people are getting more and more presumptuous, alas, it's all used to Yan'er, damn it, it looks like you'll have to live and tidy up after a while! Li Zhen was originally very strict, before Pei Yan passed the door, everything in the Yue Wang's Mansion was managed according to militarization, of course, that refers to the front yard, as for the backyard of those maids, old mothers, little eunuchs and the like Li Zhen has always been not very careful, but under the strict control of Liu Dequan, the old eunuch, it is also well organized, and there has never been much trouble, but since Pei Yan took over the affairs of the inner courtyard, perhaps because Pei Yan is kind-hearted, the royal family is looser, and after Li Zhen's wedding, a large number of new people have been added to the backyard, There are more short things in those parents, and when Pei Yan is pregnant, there is even more chaos in the inner courtyard, this time it's good, even Li Zhen dares to make fun of it, it's really upside down, if it weren't for the imminent war, there is no time to be distracted, I'm afraid that Li Zhen really plans to ruthlessly clean up this group of people who are becoming more and more unorthodox, at this time, seeing the rampant laughter of Ziyahuan and the old mother, Li Zhen's face suddenly pulled down, and coldly glanced at the trembling "flower branches", and flicked his sleeves, Silently walked out of the door, and the original good mood was immediately ruined without a trace.

The mood is bad, but the things that should be done can't be left alone, since the grape trellis at home is not in danger of collapsing, the time is ripe to eat grapes, no, after Li Zhen came out of the main courtyard where Pei Yan was, he buried his head and looked at the Ning Xiang Pavilion.

Ningxiang Pavilion is located on the west side of the backyard of the Anxi Duhufu, next to the back garden, it is a not too big yard, it is the residence of Qiao Shiwang's concubine, because Li Zhen does not have a concubine, there is a lot of vacant garden in this backyard, but it is cheaper for those people who are close to Pei Yan, and they have all caught a lovely garden, as for this Ningxiang Pavilion because it is located on the west side, and next to the back garden, it looks particularly deserted, and it was picked up by the people, and was pointed out by Pei Yan to Lizhuo and several other royal singers as a place to live- Li Zhen is proficient in music, but she is not particularly fond of it, and she is not very addicted to singing and dancing, but the palace has its own style, and the singing and dancing team is still indispensable, of course, Pei Yan likes singing and dancing is also one of the reasons, therefore, Li Zhen also brought a troupe to Anxi this time, and raised some singers, but well, in addition to Lizhuo, other singers and dancers Li Zhen don't say their names, but their faces are not familiar, Suddenly Li Zhen frowned, endured his impatience, led Yan Shibai and several other guards to walk in, and ignored the singers who rushed to greet him when he heard the news, and went straight to the second floor of Ningxiang Pavilion, but before Li Zhen walked to the second floor, but when he heard the sound of the gatehouse, Li Zhuo, who was dressed in a brocade robe and a light veil, had already walked out of the room, knelt down in front of the door, lowered his head, and did not say a word, just knelt there silently.

Li Zhen glanced at Li Zhuo, who was kneeling on the ground, and didn't say anything, just waved his hand, signaled Yan Shibai and other guards who followed closely behind him to guard the staircase on the second floor, and slowly walked to Li Zhuo who was kneeling with his head bowed, raised his hand and said, "Then follow this king into the room to talk." ”

Li Zhuo kept her head down, and when she heard Li Zhen say this, her body trembled violently, and she didn't dare to raise her head, but she answered in a low voice, slowly got up, followed Li Zhen, and walked into the door, but after entering the room, she found that Li Zhen had closed the door tightly, and her face showed a strange look, with both expectation and worry, mixed with a trace of fear, but she didn't say anything about it, just bit her lip, stood in the corner of the not very spacious room with her head down, and was silent......
