Standing in front of the second brother Li Yun again, Li Heng chose to believe Li Yun's explanation, in fact, he originally didn't believe that the second brother would hurt the eldest brother so cruelly.

He drank all the wine in the cup and raised his glass to Li Yun, "Second brother, what happened in the past...... We don't mention it. ”

Li Yun saw that he was refreshed, and he also raised his head and drank a glass of wine, "You'er, there are only two of us brothers left in this world, at least we should be brothers, friends and brothers, don't resent each other." ”

The two handed over the cup and pushed the lamp, which was quite a bit of a sense of relieving their previous suspicions. After three cups, Li Yun called for some fruit dishes, and the brothers' words began to slowly open up.

Li Yun sighed a little, "The ancients said that the most poisonous woman's heart, I didn't believe it before. Yun was just planning to wait for His Majesty to be in a better mood one day, so he simply asked him to ask Liu Qingqing to be his side concubine, so as to have a long-term husband and wife, how did he know that she secretly laid down such a dangerous and cruel situation? ”

Li Heng also has a relative: "Heng has also suffered from it!" You said that Wang Jinxiang is a good-looking and talented girl, she looks cowardly, and she doesn't dare to speak loudly in front of me, where did you think that she would have such a black hand to Luoluo? ”

The two drank a few more cups of hot food, and Li Yun said: "Yun here, in the final analysis, it is Liu Qingqing who is wrong, she was punished, although Yun felt uncomfortable, but there was nothing to say."

You'er, you are different from the second brother, Luoluo also grew up together since we were children, what's wrong with her? Because you have suffered so much, Yun feels that you should marry her and treat her twice as well, so that you can be considered responsible......"

"Responsible?" Li Heng smiled bitterly and said with two glasses of wine: "I want to be responsible, but she herself said that she didn't want to marry me......"

"You'er, this is yours!" Li Yun held his wine glass, walked up to him, and patted him on the shoulder, "Think about it, if something like this happened to her, if she still wants to marry you as the crown princess, how much pressure do you have to bear?" And she'll feel sorry for you. Women are duplicitous, she doesn't want to cause you trouble! ”

Really? Li Heng was a little dazed, and thought about it according to Li Yun's words, Luoluo and him have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and their relationship has always been harmonious, and it is impossible for her to reject him because she fell in love with someone else.

Moreover, it was precisely because of this incident that Luoluo made it clear that he would not marry him, thinking about it this way, what the second brother said was really right.

He has already made Luoluo suffer once, how can he still be so obsessed and let her continue to suffer?

However, what is Your Majesty going to say? He lamented in frustration: "But Your Majesty and Mother won't let Luoluo marry me again......"

Li Yun said: "The key is Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty is on your side, the concubine Niangniang loves you the most, so naturally she won't say anything. ”

Li Heng heard that there seemed to be something in his words, and hurriedly raised his head to look at him: "Second brother, do you have any good strategies to persuade Your Majesty?" ”

Li Yun bent down, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Yun doesn't have any good strategy to convince Your Majesty, but Yun thinks that if you can make Your Majesty have to agree, or can you no longer interfere?" ”

"What does the second brother mean......" When Li Hengda understood what he meant, he was suddenly half shocked and sobered up, "Could it be that the second brother is talking about forcing the palace?" ”

"Shhh Li Yun patted him on the head, lowered his voice and said, "What are you panicking about, hasn't our father ever done such a thing?" You and I have watched His Majesty force the Emperor to abdicate, but over the years, not only us, but also the civil and military officials and the people of the Tang Dynasty, which one said that His Majesty did not do it right? ”

If he follows His Majesty's example and ascends the throne as the emperor himself, then His Majesty will indeed have no way to interfere with who he appoints as the queen. But the matter of forcing the palace is a bit too terrifying, Li Heng has never thought about it, and he doesn't dare to think about it.

He stood up: "Second brother, no matter what, Your Majesty is also your and my father, we can't do such a thing!" ”

Li Yun turned the wine glass in his hand and said lightly: "Yun knows better than you that your and my lives are all given by Your Majesty." Yun didn't say what he wanted His Majesty to do, but just asked him to move to Xingqing Palace to live in his old age. Your Majesty has such a good relationship with the noble concubine, so that they will no longer be disturbed by mundane things, and grow old together, isn't it another kind of loyalty and filial piety? ”

Li Heng still felt that this idea was too shocking, and shook his head resolutely: "Second brother, don't say it again, Heng doesn't want to do such a rebellious thing." Constant or first...... Say goodbye first! ”

As he spoke, he fled out of the private room, and almost bumped into the old woman who was standing silently outside the door.

Li Heng came out of Qiyue Tower, and he no longer had the intention of watching the play, so he went straight back to the East Palace and slept with his head covered. Rao is like this, but Li Yun's words are still recalled in his mind like thunder, making him feel uneasy all the time.

After a few days like this, Li Yun didn't try to contact him again, as if the events of that day were just a chance encounter, a nonsense.

Li Heng even privately sent people to keep an eye on the vicinity of King Li's mansion, and King Li still went out every day to watch the drama and listen to the legend, or he went to Qujiang Pool to play polo with the young man in Beijing, and the days were not any different.

Li Heng's heart slowly relaxed.

After a while, the weather gradually got hotter, and the local excerpts about draft girls were handed to Zichen Hall one by one. The portraits of the show girls were piled up with a pile, and His Majesty summoned Li Heng over with a smile, pointed to the pile of scrolls, and said to Shiquan behind him: "I see that there seem to be a few good ones, open the portraits and show them to the prince." ”

Shiquan lowered his head, picked up a roll at the top, and shook it open in front of Li Heng.

It was a girl in red, with a pair of bright and smart eyes, wearing pretty makeup, dancing a bright Hu Xuan dance under the trees by the lake.

His Majesty smiled and nodded: "It looks good, Heng'er, what do you think?" ”

Isn't that good? Except for the ups and downs in this world, other women seem to be born in the same mold. Li Heng said casually: "It's not good, it's not like Luoluo at all." ”

Shiquan took a few pictures in a row, and Li Heng shook his head again and again, there was no one like hers.

When he reached the ninth, when Shiquan unfolded the portrait, he exclaimed unconsciously, the woman in the portrait was wearing the lake-colored clothes that Princess Taihe usually liked, holding an apricot blossom in her hand, and Yingying stood against the door.

Shiquan brought the portrait to Li Heng, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this one ......"

Li Heng looked up and was stunned for a moment, this girl's eyebrows and eyes are seven or eight points similar to Luoluo, but her forehead is not as wide as Luoluo's, and her figure seems to be slightly plump by one or two points.

He stared at the portrait for a long time, and His Majesty was about to speak, but saw that he threw the portrait away in a hurry, "It is too much like her, and it is not her, the most hateful." ”

It's not like her, it's not good like her. In front of His Majesty, Shiquan really didn't know how to persuade his little ancestor, so he had to pick up the portraits he threw on the ground one by one and roll them up again.

His Majesty was also a little helpless, twisted his eyebrows, and said, "Heng'er! I choose a concubine for you with great fanfare, and you have to pick a few ......."

The portraits sent by the local authorities are naturally all beauties that have been screened repeatedly. But Li Heng always felt that their faces were so blurred, and after watching them for a long time, all he could remember was the color of their clothes.

Is he going to spend the rest of his life with these strange girls?

Li Heng suddenly felt sad, in the past ten years, he had never thought that he would be separated from her for the rest of his life.

It's not that I can't forget you, I just can't imagine that the person who will be with me for the rest of my life is not you.

But what can be done? He lowered his head, not wanting to look at the fat and thin beauties in the portrait, and said in a low voice: "It's all up to Your Majesty." ”

Li Chun snorted lightly in his nose, simply didn't look at him, shook off those portraits again, and pointed to the first and last ones, "These two, plus this blue dress, and the one sitting and reading, let's keep these four first, plus the three of the Wang family, the Pei family, and the Wei family, and they will be announced to the palace together, and they will learn the rules in the court bureau for a few months first, and it will be decided!" ”

The sentence "It's so decided" announced that these girls would be by his side for the rest of their lives.

Li Heng felt dazed, so he simply got up and said goodbye: "My son went to Penglai Hall to see his mother." ”

His Majesty didn't keep him longer, so he came out of the Zichen Hall and walked outside to breathe a long sigh of relief.

It wasn't that there were no women around him, and even the concubine had just given birth to a son to him not long ago. But I don't know why, at this time, he felt so sad, as if something was forcing him to distance himself from the most precious thing in his heart.

After walking a short distance out of Penglai Palace, I suddenly heard two palace maids whispering something in the corner in front of me. His mother had always forbidden anyone in the palace to chew his tongue, and he was about to reprimand him, but he heard the words "Princess Taihe" coming out of their mouths.

He shuddered and held his breath to continue listening.

“…… You don't know, Niangniang chose a new science scholar who was only admitted this year for Princess Taihe, named Zhang Wenyuan, and I heard that he didn't have any family background......"

"Shhhhh......h

Mother has already promised Luoluo a family affair?

He couldn't help but rush out, "What do you two say, come out and make it clear!" ”

When the two little palace maids saw the main lord coming, they were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, and waved their hands again and again: "The palace ...... Your Highness, the slave didn't say anything, the slave didn't know anything......"

Before he finished speaking, he covered his face and fled quickly.

Here, His Majesty has just chosen a large number of side concubines and concubines for him, and his mother is losing the selection of concubines over there. Does this mean that he will not be allowed to marry Luoluo?

He walked to Penglai Hall in a very low mood, and when he saw that his mother still looked as usual, he couldn't help but say, "Mother, Your Majesty has chosen a few side concubines for his son." ”

Nian Yun smiled slightly, and said gently: "Then dare to be kind, it is a good thing to choose a few more and have more heirs." ”

Li Heng didn't dare to ask directly, but he couldn't help it, and blurted out, "Did the mother also set a horse for Luoluo?" ”

Nianyun smiled, but didn't answer directly, just said: "That's not true, but Luoluo is also at the age when it is time to get married." ”
