Chapter 51: Angry
Li Shimin had the intention of supporting Li Zhi to take power, but now he did not dare to show the slightest sign. Under his deliberate spoiling, he successfully cultivated Wei Wang Litai into the prince's fierce rival, and the two have become inseparable.
But Li Tai is also a person who is familiar with the scriptures and history, and he is also afraid of the situation of "snipe and clam competing for fishermen and profits". Yesterday, he had already set up Li Zhi, which made Li Zhi, who assisted him in handling political affairs, a big mess.
Li Shimin is having a headache about this. Now Zhang Wenyi wants to make money, which just pulls Li Zhi out, keeps him away from the government disputes temporarily, and prevents him from being framed by the design again. Otherwise, once questioned by hundreds of officials, it will be difficult for Li Zhi to become a prince.
Regarding Li Shimin's decision, Zhang Wenyi could only pinch his nose and accept it, he is the supreme emperor of the Tang Dynasty, in case one is unhappy, then even the current achievement will be gone.
When Li Zhi returned to the palace in the evening, he looked very unhappy, Zhang Wenyi thought that he was in trouble doing things outside, and specially cooked a few dishes he loved to make him happy.
Who knew that Li Zhi was furious, and under the pretext that the dish was salty, he stood up and brushed his sleeves away, leaving Zhang Wenyi where it was messy.
Leaving Zhang Wenyi, Li Zhi went to Concubine Xiao's bedroom. He was supposed to stay at Zhang Wenyi's place today, but Xiao Yan didn't expect Li Zhi to come today, so she was naturally happy.
She can also understand that there is a problem between Li Zhi and Zhang Wenyi, which is a good thing for her. According to Li Zhi's rules, Zhang Wenyi has five days a month, and she has a two-day rotation here. On the first day of the month, whether it was her turn or not, she had to start again from where Zhang Wenyi was, which shows that Li Zhi was biased.
Now there is a contradiction between Li Zhi and Zhang Wenyi, and Xiao Yan just can't ask for it. What she can do now is not to slander Zhang Wenyi, but to welcome Li Zhi. As long as she was given time, Xiao Yan thought that she would definitely be able to capture Li Zhi's heart.
Li Zhi was very satisfied with Xiao Yan's obedience, and the two tried various positions almost all night until they were too tired to move. Li Zhi was greatly satisfied, just after unloading his errand and having nothing to do, Li Zhi slept until three o'clock in the sun before getting up.
For three consecutive days, Li Zhi stayed in Xiao Yan's palace, and the two acted day and night. Xiao Yan was secretly worried while being entertained, after all, this was too abnormal.
On the fourth day, the British Duke Li Ji asked Li Zhi to deal with the matter of merging the state. Li Zhi's political affairs in the imperial court were canceled, but he still had the official title of governor of the prefecture, and many things in Taiyuan still needed him to intervene.
Li Ji is the long history of the Metropolitan Governor's Office and the actual executor of the rights of the Metropolitan Governor. Usually Li Ji would handle the affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion properly, and he didn't need Li Zhi to worry about it, so that Li Zhi had long forgotten that he still had such an official position.
Xiao Yan dragged her tired body to Zhang Wenyi, wanting to ask her what went wrong between her and Li Zhi. In any case, Li Zhi is their man, and the competition between them is one thing, and Li Zhi's problem is another. Li Zhi's situation is not good for anyone.
Seeing Xiao Yan's visit, Zhang Wenyi was very surprised. After all, there is a contention between the two people. Although Xiao Ying made a reconciliation between the two, Xiao Ying has always maintained a certain hostility towards her.
Zhang Wenyi still politely invited Xiao Yan to come to Mingtang, and the two sat down with greetings. Xiao Yan asked about cutting.
"Last time, my sister helped cut my coat, but I benefited a lot, and I thank you in advance." Xiao Yan took a sip of tea and said.
Zhang Wenyi knew that her intention was definitely not like this, but women like to twist and turn, and she can only accompany her: "It's all my own sister, Concubine Xiao, no need to be polite." ”
Xiao Yan asked, "You helped me change my coat last time, and I can basically change my own now." But when Xiao Ying came the day before yesterday, I couldn't help her change. Want to ask how to cut it more well? ”
Xiao Yan's question is difficult to answer, because modifying clothing is not something that can be changed by simply cutting two cuts. It is necessary to understand the perfect proportions of the human body, the characteristics of various fabrics, the characteristics of colors, how to modify to visually cover the defects of the body, and finally the skills of cutting.
Especially for women, the size and shape of the head and face, the length and thickness of the neck, the proportion of waist and legs, the proportion of measurements, the size of the chest and hips, etc., are all factors that affect the intuitive feeling of the upper body of a dress.
Ancient tailors have accumulated experience through the sewing of thousands of clothes, while Zhang Wenyi has modern aesthetic knowledge, calculation ability and comprehensive ancient tailoring to have such ability.
Now Xiao Yan wants to ask how to cut the fit, this topic is too big, Zhang Wenyi can only teach her little by little with a wry smile.
It's just that Xiao Yan's figure is really good, her clothes are enough as long as they fit, and Zhang Wenyi doesn't want to talk about herself. So the two of them talked all morning, and Xiao Yan didn't seem to understand.
Zhang Wenyi didn't cook for lunch, because Li Zhi hadn't come for the past few days, and she was too lazy to burn it. Xiao Yan was surprised to eat lunch, and she was also unaware of a few clear dishes.
Li Zhi came back halfway through the meal, and things were embarrassing. Zhang Wenyi didn't prepare his meal, and Li Zhi was even more unhappy when he saw that Xiao Yan was also here, so he turned around and left.
Even Xiao Yan regretted it now, what did she do here. I didn't figure out anything I wanted to figure out, and it made Li Zhi furious.
Seeing Zhang Wenyi chase out, Xiao Yan hurriedly took the palace maid and hurriedly returned to her bedroom.
Zhang Wenyi couldn't find a topic for a while when she caught up with Li Zhi, so she could only follow him all the way.
Not long after leaving, Li Zhi stopped and asked very unhappily, "What are you doing?" ”
Zhang Wenyi said: "The concubine is stupid and doesn't know what to offend His Highness, so I have come to ask His Highness for sin. ”
Li Zhi said coldly: "You didn't offend me, I offended you, and I should ask you for guilt!" ”
Zhang Wenyi knelt down slowly and said, "The concubine has always respected His Royal Highness, and she has always regarded His Royal Highness as her own sky. If there is an offense, it is definitely not intentional, and I ask Your Highness to forgive the concubine once for the sake of his diligence in the past. ”
Seeing Zhang Wenyi kneeling there pitifully with her head down, tears dripping silently to the ground. remembered that she didn't want to fake anything in the past, and she must serve herself personally. This friendship is not half fake, as she said, even if it is offended, it will not be intentional.
Thinking of this, his heart had already softened, but he couldn't wipe it off for a while. So he said, "People come and go here, do you look good kneeling here?" ”
Hearing that his tone softened a lot, Zhang Wenyi stood up obediently, standing beside Li Zhi still with his head down, looking like he was listening to the reprimand.
Seeing her like this, Li Zhi is so angry that he is gone. Thinking that she had such a big temper, she was terrified and didn't know it, it was really good for no reason.
"Let's go back." Li Zhi said.
Zhang Wenyi said obediently: "Yes."
followed Li Zhi back to their dormitory, and everyone was secretly happy to see Li Zhi come back, their own masters had to spoil them, who were palace maids and eunuchs, and they could also stand up and be people outside.
Seeing the two return to the inner room, everyone also scattered to do their own things.
Back in the inner room, Li Zhi saw that Zhang Wenyi was still with his head down, stretched out his hand to support her chin, and said, "You ......"
Before he could say his words, he panicked when he saw Zhang Wenyi's tears welling up. hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and Zhang Wenyi also cried at this time.
She cried and said: "Your Highness, the concubine has only one relative in this palace, you can beat me or scold me when you get angry in the future, don't ignore me, okay." ”
Seeing her standing there crying helplessly, Li Zhi's heart felt as if it had been pinched by something, and it hurt uncomfortably. Now he has no anger, and all that is left is distress and love.
Hurriedly stretched out his hand to hug Zhang Wenyi over to comfort him, and at this time Zhang Wenyi dared to really cry loudly. Li Zhi gently patted Zhang Wenyi's back and coaxed her not to cry, and it took a long time for Zhang Wenyi to gradually stop crying.
After a while, Zhang Wenyi calmed down, raised her head, and said, "Your Highness hasn't eaten yet, you eat some snacks to pad your stomach first, and the concubine will go to cook for Your Highness." ”
Li Zhi said: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll just eat some snacks." ”
Zhang Wenyi replied to him and said, "It's not in the way, the meals are all prepared." His Royal Highness is not in the concubine's body, and he is not in the mood to burn. Concubine Xiao just ate the dish that was cooked for His Highness last night.
asked the palace maids to serve snacks, and Zhang Wenyi hurriedly went to the kitchen to take care of Li Zhi's food. As she said, four dishes and one soup were quickly cooked and served.
Seeing Zhang Wenyi busy and looking like a little woman, Li Zhi secretly blamed himself in his heart: a few days ago, he was thinking, 'What more could you ask for a wife like this,' why did you lose so much temper with her, you should have asked her first and listened to her explain.
In fact, things are very simple, that day Li Shimin agreed to Zhang Wenyi's request and supported her in business. and gave Li Zhi to her, which happened to kill two birds with one stone.
When Li Shimin asked Li Zhi to explain the errand in hand to others, and told him to accompany Zhang Wenyi to do business temporarily during this time, this annoyed Li Zhi.
Although Li Zhi does not regard business as humble as before, it is not good to let him do it himself. He didn't dare to show anything to his father, and when he got home, he was so angry that he lost his temper at Zhang Wenyi.
Li Ji is looking for him today because he has unloaded his errand, Li Jiming is the long history of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou, and he is actually the teacher of King Jin. The ancients paid attention to respecting teachers, and Li Zhi still respected Li Ji very much.
He told Li Ji about his father's withdrawal of his errand and letting him accompany Zhang Wenyi to do business, and by the way, he also told him that he was dissatisfied with Zhang Wenyi's dragging him into the water.
Li Ji expected Li Shimin's intention to replace the prince, according to normal analysis, Li Chengqian and Li Tai could not be the prince, so there should be no doubt that Li Zhi would go down, but it was not easy to tell Li Zhi directly.
Li Ji had no choice but to change his way of saying and persuading: Your Majesty will not confiscate your errand because of such a trivial matter, so he must have another meaning in doing so.
Li Zhi was suspicious when he heard it, he came back and wanted to ask Zhang Wenyi for clarification, but he didn't want to see Xiao Yan, so he lost his temper again for no reason. Fortunately, Zhang Wenyi held back and chased him back, otherwise he wouldn't know where to go today.
