Chapter 146: Brother and Sister
Chapter 146 Brother and sister
After Yongning communicated with Fang Xuanling, he finally let go of the little depression in his heart, and then lived a leisurely life every day, except for the occasional time when Li Shimin was called to ask questions, most of them were consumed in Qingyunguan.
Yuan Tiangang and Dongyangzi, the master of Qingyun Temple, often sit in the courtyard when they have nothing to do, Yongning and Princess Jinyang both like this atmosphere, often serve tea and water, and sit next to them to listen.
Princess Jinyang took Yongning's vague reminder and carefully set Li Shimin's words, so she also took the matter of choosing a horse to heart. Naturally, she won't hide this from Li Zhi, she also expects Li Zhi to help her check it, compared to others, she naturally trusts Li Zhi, a sibling brother who has been doting on her since she was a child......
Li Zhi has been depressed lately. Not only because Fang Xuanling, who was also responsible for teaching his knowledge, would inexplicably always assign him a bunch of homework every day, but also because he obviously felt that Yongning was avoiding him. How many times these days he personally sent, sent someone to send, and asked Princess Jinyang to transfer the items, they were always returned without falling, which made him angry every time he returned to his residence to see Xiao Shi, if it wasn't for the time to deal with these private matters, he would definitely not let Xiao stay for another day
He also knew that Li Shimin ordered Yongning to go on the expedition with him, and he was even more unhappy. He hadn't figured out how to keep Yongning here, so Yongning was about to go to the battlefield for another walk.
Over the years, under the quiet cultivation of Li Shimin, Li Zhi has gained some momentum as a prince, and he has also surrounded some loyal ministers and strategists. Originally, these people were not qualified to say anything about the problem in Li Zhi's backyard, but when Li Zhi continued to be stunned in the past few days, they had to persuade Li Zhi to come.
From "Beauty and Misleading the Country" to "The Commandment of a Gentleman", those well-mouthed capable people simply trained Li Zhi to be dizzy, and they couldn't stop His Royal Highness the King of Jin from thinking about his confidante, so they sighed one by one and cast a meaningful gaze on Fang Xuanling, and then, after such a cycle, Li Zhi's schoolwork increased again. When he asked Li Shimin for help with a pale face, he was once again hit by Li Shimin's smiling and silent attitude.
Li Zhi, who had been overhit these days, finally couldn't resist anymore, and fell ill a few days before Li Shimin led his troops to Liaodong. It's not a serious illness, it's just that he caught a cold when he saw the wind, but it also made Li Shimin very worried, if it weren't for Fang Xuanling's rare tough attitude, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't say that he would have promised to let Yongning stay in the pitiful eyes of his son.
Although Yongning had already made a choice in his heart, he still couldn't let go of Li Zhi in the end, so he went to see Li Zhi under the pressure of Fang Xuanling. This time Li Zhi was quite smart, although he was a little unconscious due to the fever, he still firmly kicked out all the concubines who came to his room to serve the sick early in the morning, and strictly ordered them not to come to his room, so when Yongning followed Princess Jinyang to visit the patient, he felt that Yongning's attitude was much better......
In fact, Li Zhi was quite proud of Yongning's little temper, but he was not satisfied with her evasive behavior. In his opinion, if he didn't have him in his heart, how could he care about the women around him? However, even if you are delicious and angry, then even if you quarrel with him, why do you have to hide and ignore him?
Maybe Li Zhi's little eyes were too complaining, or maybe the news that Fang Xuanling was waiting outside the door was too terrifying, in short, Yongning only got a moment, cared for a few words, and left in a hurry.
Li Zhi looked at the back of Yongning leaving, couldn't help but sigh, and said, "Son, you said that Ah Fang and I, where can we go in the end?" In the past few years, he has never doubted that he will sit on the crown prince in the future, and then he will become the master of this empire in the future, but he has never been so sure of Yongning, and the uneasiness of "will lose" is always in his heart.
Princess Jinyang has understood Yongning's thoughts for seven or eight points these days, but she doesn't know how to talk to Li Zhi. She is different from Princess Gaoyang, she has heard of harem dumping, but she has never experienced it. Without that kind of pain, there will be a beautiful expectation in her heart, and she and Yongning's views and concepts on love and marriage are more consistent. It is precisely because of such an agreement that she can't say anything to make Yongning accept reality calmly.
Even from the bottom of her heart, after understanding Yongning's concerns, she agreed with Yongning's thoughts. Instead of wearing away the once pure and beautiful feelings in the erosion of the years, it is better to miss each other far away, at least when you are old, you can sit down and talk about the ......
Princess Jinyang really likes and cares about Yongning's friend. Yongning was the friend she identified through her first contact, she learned a lot and understood a lot in the time she spent with Yongning, and sometimes she even had a feeling that Yongning had changed her. And Li Zhi is her favorite brother, she hopes that Li Zhi and Yongning can live a very happy life, once she also thought that the two of them would be happy together, but now this belief in her heart has been shaken.
"Brother," Princess Jinyang drove out the palace maids and eunuchs in the room, then sat on the edge of the couch, took Li Zhi's hand, and said, "Can you really make Yongning happy?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.
Li Zhi was stunned, he had always thought that Princess Gaoyang and Princess Jinyang were both staunch supporters of him and Yongning together, but Princess Jinyang actually asked such a question at this time...... The teachings given to him by Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others over the years immediately made him realize that this was probably related to Yongning's evasive attitude. So, he frowned and asked, "Son, why do you ask that?" Do you think I can't give her happiness? "No mistakes, no skipping words.
Princess Jinyang shook her head and said, "I just think that if I really stay with you, Yongning will be unhappy in the future......"
"What do you mean?" Li Zhi half-propped himself up, put the soft pillow next to him behind him, and looked serious.
Princess Jinyang sighed faintly and said: "I always remember that Yongning once chanted a small order that day, 'one life and one couple', at that time her eyes were full of yearning, but then she haunted to mention it, even I said I liked it, and asked her to write it down and send it to me, but she refused, and told me to forget...... She said that if she has too many dreams like this, she will not be able to wake up, and she will feel bitter in the future......"
Li Zhi was in a trance, he also remembered this small order, or should he say that Yongning wrote, sang, and mentioned the poems and small orders, he remembered that there was Yongning's handwriting, but more of it was transcribed by himself after he returned to the palace. He suddenly understood what Princess Jinyang's words meant, and also understood that when Yongning faced him, he always lost his position, so why did he come......
He also hesitated and wanted to give up, but in the end, he found that the more he wanted to forget, the clearer he would remember, Yongning, I don't know when it was already engraved on his heart, and there was no way to erase it. Yongning left five years ago, he was sad, but also glad, thinking that the distance was separated, the little thought in his heart would slowly fade, who knew that the longer the time passed, the more he missed.
When Yongning appeared in front of him again in Luoyang, he actually couldn't remember Yongning's eyebrows clearly, but as soon as he saw the girl standing under the plum tree, his heart beat extremely strongly, calling her name one by one. Accustomed to seeing the beautiful concubines around him, Yongning's appearance is not so outstanding that it is unforgettable at first sight, but he just feels that such eyebrows, such eyes, and such red lips are just right, and only this person standing in front of him is his heart.
When he was confused, he also went to consult Yuan Tiangang. Although Yuan Tiangang didn't give him an answer, he said four words that relieved him - since the love is deep-rooted, since he can't resist, then he can only fight, and he doesn't accept failure, what will happen in the future, he doesn't know, he just wants to seize the front and catch this person who makes him unforgettable......
"Son......" Li Zhi looked at his white and slender palms and said, "I will do my best, and I can only do it, do my best...... I don't know what the future holds, where we're going to end up or what we're going to become, all I can do is the present...... If I don't let go, I may regret it later, but if I let go, I will definitely regret it now......"
"Brother......" Princess Jinyang had never heard Li Zhi speak in such a tone, especially when she said such a thing, she could completely feel Li Zhi's determination - he had more courage than them
"Son," Li Zhi pulled Princess Jinyang to sit closer to him, and asked very seriously: "I know that Fang Xiang is not optimistic about the matter between me and Ah Fang, and Ah Fang's evasion in the past few days is not just because of the scene where the Xiao family went to make trouble, most of the reason is still on Fang Xiang, I know that she still has a mind in her heart...... Since my father agreed to let you go to Liaodong together, then you and Ah Fang must live together along the way, I don't ask for much, I just hope that you can go with her, and then take her back with you...... Seeing that the departure is imminent, I have this illness, and I am afraid that I will not have a chance to tell her some words until she comes back...... Son, I want this opportunity......"
"Brother, although Yongning has had a hard time outside, I can tell from her words that she has been very happy all these years...... I can't persuade you to let go, and I can't persuade Yongning to accept it...... Brother, I will tell you what you say, but I can't promise to do it......" Princess Jinyang slowly shook Li Zhi's hand hard, but she couldn't respond to his request, because it was not something she could control. After many years of dating, she naturally understood that Yongning seemed to have a gentle temperament and was very similar to Fang Xuanling, but once she decided on something, then she would not change it for anyone......
There was silence in the room for a moment, and the brother and sister fell into deep thought at the same time.
