Chapter 134: Brother and Sister Conversation
"Brother Huang, is this talking to me in the tone of an elder brother?" Hearing that he didn't claim to be useless, Princess Taiping first raised her eyebrows, then walked a few steps closer and sat down at the bottom of him: "It's okay, since you became a great treasure, our brother and sister haven't had a heart-to-heart for a long time. I would like to take this opportunity today to make it clear. ”
Heart? Li Xian was amused by her wording: "If I remember correctly, Taiping, you have always only had a heart-to-heart relationship with your mother, not with my brother, right?" Whether it is him or Li Dan, in her eyes, they are just nominal brothers, without the slightest practical significance. Since she was very young, this younger sister has preferred to pester her parents, and she has always been carefully cared for and loved by her parents, and the treatment is completely different from that of them, so much so that he once thought that he and his younger brother were fostered under Wu Cao's name, and only Taiping was biological. After all, such a world is so different that everyone can't help but be suspicious, and it is no wonder that Prince Zhang Huai believed it to be true under the instigation of traitors.
"When did the imperial brother care about these things again?" Ten fingers crossed, Princess Taiping sat there for a long time, and her complexion did not even change in the slightest: "Born here, we all have the same purpose, that is, to live well." It's just that you and I have different approaches, so why bother at this moment? She didn't come to talk to him about the deep brother-sister relationship, how weak the royal family affection is, between them, there is only a real entanglement of interests, and the rest, no matter how nice it sounds, is all false.
"Well, ...... alive" For some reason, as soon as he heard this sentence, the picture that suddenly popped up in Li Xian's mind was the smart and beautiful smile of the woman in front of him when he married Xue Shao at the beginning of the year. With such a pure and delicate smile, since Xue Shao's death, he didn't seem to have seen it on Taiping's face again. The man's departure seemed to take her soul away, and from then on, she was left with only a beautiful body in the world, forever hanging the same hypocritical smile as her mother, the kind that carelessly but firmly grasped everything, which made people itch their teeth, but always had nothing to do with her. Obviously, the previous Taiping was not like this, why, from that day on, it suddenly changed beyond recognition?
"Taiping, have you been doing well all these years?" For no reason, he asked this sentence as soon as his brain was hot: "In front of people, you are a powerful and beautiful princess of Taiping, but after people, your life may not be as good as everyone thinks, right?" She liked Xue Shao so much, and married into the Xue family with joy, but later found out that she was just a pawn used by her mother to deal with the Xue family, and even worse, it was full of disasters, so that her beloved also died. Such an experience, no matter how he thought about it, was heart-wrenching, and he even thought that Taiping would not be able to live for a while.
However, this proud sister is always unexpected. Afterwards, not only did she not collapse, but she also moved closer to her mother, who took advantage of her, and then became more and more vivid and wanton, and her scheming became deeper. Li Xian wanted to know what kind of calculation she had in her heart, and she chose to come at this moment to seek something through herself. He was really tired of Taiping's flawless façade, and he couldn't wait to get a glimpse of what she really looked like behind her scars.
The sharp phoenix eyes looked at him fixedly for a long time, as if this person who was close at hand, Princess Taiping was silent for a long time, but suddenly chuckled: "Naturally, it's not good." Those pains and injuries are all due to my mother, even if you don't mention it, I remember it very clearly, and I have never forgotten it for a moment. In her life, she has loved such a person, and since his death, she has been gone. Now what is still alive in this world is just an unwilling ghost, a ghost who would rather give up everything and trample the world under his feet to despise once. She is not afraid of being torn apart from the scars of the past, and she is not afraid of facing the blood, if Li Xian wants to use this to spy on her heart, I am afraid that he will really make the wrong decision.
"So what do you want to talk to me about today?" Li Xian looked at her face that did not show the slightest weakness and flaws even at this time, and he couldn't stop sighing in his heart. This sister is really the most like her mother, and even the hardness and indifference of that heart are exactly the same. That's a realm that he is unlikely to have in his life, and he never expects that they will share a little excess emotion from it.
"Naturally, it's the future of Datang." Princess Taiping said bluntly: "The prince you set up is dead, and you are lingering on the sickbed, and you have no time to separate, and now the candidate to inherit the unification has not been decided, and there are some young people who are about to move." The foundation of this Tang Dynasty was laid down by the ancestors of the Li family with blood and sweat, and I can't care about anything else, but no matter what, we can't let it be destroyed in the hands of our generation. ”
"I thought you'd be glad to see it grow lonely until it was completely destroyed." Regardless of her completely negative view of her own governance style, Li Xian was surprised by her current attitude. He originally thought that Taiping would hate the whole country because of the harm her mother caused to her, because in the end, she has almost lost her life on this. He never expected that she would go on this trip today, and what she wanted to say coincided with what he thought in his heart, could this be regarded as an alternative tacit understanding between brothers and sisters?
Raising her eyebrows, Princess Taiping said expressionlessly: "It has always been my mother who complains, so when you launched a coup d'état, I chose to stand by and watch." Now, she is gone, and it doesn't make sense for me to be angry with anyone. I'm not a kid, and I know when it's important. You are the brother of my mother's compatriots, and in front of you, I have never concealed my likes and dislikes, and there is no need to act coy at this time. This is indeed true, she never thought of wanting the Li Tang Dynasty to disappear, what she wanted was just a brand new country. Whoever can stop Webster from taking over all this is her temporary friend, even Li Xian is no exception.
Indeed, since she was a child, Taiping has never hidden any shortcomings in her character in front of him, even her disgust with her queen and daughter. Thinking of this, Li Xian couldn't help but show a soft but weak smile: "Okay, tell me how I should go next." ”
