Chapter Ninety-Nine: Asking for Help
Since he had personally gone out to find Li Shouli, Li Chongjun naturally didn't want to let go of the other remaining forces in Beijing. Especially in the Zhenguo Princess's Mansion, he was even more cautious, and after thinking about it for a long time, he brought Princess Taiping's favorite sparrow tongue tea to the door.
As for the arrival of this nephew, Princess Taiping is not surprised. In fact, as early as the day Li Bao'er moved back to Liang Wangfu, she was waiting for Li Chongjun. I didn't expect this kid to be so able to endure his temperament, and it took so many days to come over.
"Auntie, I wonder if my body is still safe recently?" The young man with a lofty demeanor and elegant conversation, just looking at it makes people feel good: "I haven't come to greet you for some days, and I hope my aunt is not strange." Everyone in the Shendu said that Princess Taiping Li Lingyue was arrogant and lascivious, and moody, but in his opinion, this imperial aunt is undoubtedly much better than her own imperial sister, who is known as the first beauty of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, he also had some dealings with Princess Taiping, back then, when he was still a little King Wei, if it wasn't for the latter's hard push, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to reach the position he is now. Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, Li Chongjun still has a lot of respect for Princess Taiping.
"This palace is just an idle person, and there is no flower in this day, so it's just like that." Holding the fine white porcelain tea cup in one hand and gently closing the lid of the cup with the other, Princess Taiping lowered her eyes and looked at the floating tea leaves in the cup, her expression was not clear: "It's You, Your Royal Highness the Prince, I heard that Your Majesty is very important, and recently I have explained a lot of errands." It's really heartfelt to be able to come to my house to visit one or two when you're so busy. ”
"No matter how busy you are with business, there is always time to visit your elders." Smiling slightly, Li Chongjun looked at the beautiful lady sitting opposite, and the expression on his face was very well controlled: "My aunt has lived in the mansion for a long time and never went out, but I don't want to know so much about the things in the palace, but my nephew is very ashamed." "Since the death of Emperor Wu, this once favored and powerful princess of Taiping has retreated. Although there are occasional rumors of her romance in Beijing, it is more than several times worse than the swagger in the heyday of the year. In the past few years, I don't know what she thinks, not only has she not entered the palace much, but even the number of times she has stepped out of the princess's mansion is extremely limited. But under such circumstances, she could still clearly know the latest movements in the imperial city, so she had to make Li Chongjun shocked.
With a chuckle, Princess Taiping took a sip of tea, and her posture was very elegant: "It's just that if you have nothing to do, you will inevitably be clearer than ordinary people's ears and eyes, and it's not a big skill." It's strange to say, Tao Yao didn't think it when she was there, but when the little girl left, she suddenly felt that this huge god suddenly became empty, so many people, so many things, but I just felt bored when I looked at it. Therefore, she is becoming more and more lazy to go out to socialize. Anyway, she has never slackened in private about the people she should grasp, and the rest are just small fish and shrimp flattering and begging for a living under the hands of Webster's mother and daughter, she feels disgusted even when she looks at it, let alone it.
"Since that's the case, then my aunt must also know what Princess Anle and Wu Juma have been doing recently?" The attitude of the person in front of her was too understated, and if he didn't cut to the chase, I'm afraid she would be happy to go around in circles all the time. The current momentum in Jingzhong is naturally nothing to Princess Taiping, after all, her identity and status are all there, and even if she has influence, it is quite limited. But for myself, it's a thought of heaven and a thought of hell. Therefore, even if he knew that Princess Taiping was waiting for him to hold back and take the lead in opening the chips, Li Chongjun had to follow the trend and did not dare to ignore it in the slightest. You must know that Princess Taiping is the greatest help he can get from God, if even she refuses to help, then his situation will really be extremely bad.
"That crazy girl has always been able to toss, and there are always a lot of troubles." Closing the lid of the cup, Princess Taiping raised her eyes and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "I just don't know which one your Royal Highness the Crown Prince are talking about?" ”
In fact, as early as when Wu Chongxun, who had always been at odds with Li Bao'er, lowered his figure inexplicably and went to his wife's courtyard to apologize and make peace, she realized that something must have happened. Wu Sansi's family is a virtuous person, and they can't afford to be early. If it weren't for the old guy's secret instigation or promise, Wu Chongxun, who had always been arrogant and self-assured, would suddenly make such a counterintuitive move? At the beginning, she was only on guard against Liang Wangfu, but the more closely she stared at the ground, the more suspicious she found the whole thing suspicious, so that in the end, she simply even targeted Li Bao'er and Wei Shi together. But unfortunately, although Webster is very unpleasant, her means of governing the palace are still good. Even if the entire harem is not monolithic, it is not leaky, and it is not as simple as before to inquire about the news. Therefore, for such a long time, she can only face everything in a wait-and-see and vigilant state, instead of choosing to take the initiative. After all, this posture didn't look like it was coming at herself, so why did she stir it up and splash dirty water in it?
"Recently, Princess An Le and Wu Juma have frequently held banquets, and they will invite me to go every time. Moreover, his attitude is so friendly that I am afraid that I have not had it since I was born. Frowning slightly, Li Chongjun remembered the previous scenes between the two sides, and felt that his diaphragm should be tight: "My aunt is not an outsider, and you also see what the relationship between me and this imperial sister is." It's really unsettling that she's doing this now. ”
"Perhaps, she realizes the importance of your brother and wants to settle the old suspicion with you?" raised her eyebrows, Princess Taiping's tone was still light: "Based on this alone, it is determined that she has bad intentions, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only afraid that the grass and trees are all soldiers." ”
"Yes, I've been there twice in total, and nothing bad has happened. However, Li Chongjun's face gradually became ugly: "She used the excuse of strengthening the guard, and more than doubled the number of soldiers in the Liang Palace!" This, this is obviously something else! "Does anyone need heavily armed soldiers to guard them at a feast? I'm afraid this kind of banquet is not for fun, but for the sake of death! He wasn't stupid, he could sense the undercurrents underneath him.
