Chapter 130: Your Majesty

Plans can never catch up with change. Just when Yongning and Fang Xuanling had a long talk about the Eastern Expedition again and decided to leave Luoyang, someone suddenly came to the palace to pass the decree - Li Shimin announced

Yongning was a little dazed at that time. It just so happened that she was scheduled to leave this morning, so not only Fang Xuanling deliberately took leave, but even Fang Yiai and Princess Gaoyang also rushed over early in the morning to see her off. Listening to the emperor's summons, Princess Gaoyang's eyes lit up, but Fang Xuanling and Fang Yuai's father and son frowned in unison.

In the past few years, Li Zhi's backyard has been very noisy, if Fang Xuanling still had the idea of giving Yongning to Li Zhi before, after hearing and witnessing these things, his little thoughts were also suppressed by his love for his daughter, and now he wishes that Yongning could stay away from the royal family. Fang Yiai has grown older in the past few years, has experienced more things, and his view of the problem is no longer so simple and one-sided, and he has also put away his mind about matching Yongning and Li Zhi, he is absolutely unwilling to let his baby sister live the kind of life of robbing a man with a group of women.

"Father, ......" Fang Yiai looked at Fang Xuanling with some panic and said, "This, how could Your Majesty suddenly summon the little sister?" It stands to reason that although we didn't carry anyone behind our backs, we didn't make a big deal about it, how could Your Majesty suddenly send someone to deliver the decree with such fanfare? Although he asked like this, he actually understood in his heart that it must be Li Zhi who came to explore Yongning and made a mistake, and he was secretly annoyed that Li Zhi was not careful, and he couldn't help but worry about Yongning.

What Fang Xuanling could think of, Fang Xuanling naturally thought of, but he thought deeper and farther. He brushed his beard and groaned for a moment, glanced at Yongning deeply, and said: "It seems that I can't go today, even if this is the case, then the father happened to enter the palace with you...... You don't have to worry too much, Your Majesty summons, you just deal with it as usual, and it will be fine" has been by Li Shimin's side all these years, and Li Shimin is very concerned about Yongning's affairs, which has always made him have a hazy thought in his heart, but he doesn't really want to, but today's summons made him understand a point or two.

Yongning has always been fearless of Li Shimin, although he was stunned for a moment when he first heard the edict from someone came, but he quickly regained his calm. In order to show respect, she deliberately went to change into a brand new robe, and then rode into the palace with Fang Xuanling.

Because Li Shimin only summoned Yongning alone, after Fang Xuanling sent her to the place, he left on his own, and another little eunuch led her in after passing her. When Yongning entered the hall, he saw Li Shimin sitting behind the bookcase and writing, and after she respectfully performed the Taoist salute, she stood quietly and waited.

After a while, Li Shimin stopped writing. beckoned the palace maid to serve him and cleaned his hands, and then he looked at Yongning. "Lift your head up and let me see......" He spoke in a casual tone and a gentle attitude, "Speaking of which, the last time I saw you, you were still a little girl......

Yongning followed Li Shimin's words, raised his head without reserve, looked directly into Li Shimin's eyes, and behaved in a way that was not in line with the rules, but in line with her current identity, she was even more open. She looked at Li Shimin without a trace, although this eloquent and strategic hero was still in good spirits, he was already old, maybe he could still draw a hard bow and control a horse, but he couldn't hide the imprint of the years carved on him.

She suddenly remembered that it seemed that in the official history, His Majesty the Emperor had fallen seriously ill after returning from the Eastern Expedition, and then his body had collapsed, so that he died a few years later. When she looked at Li Shimin's gaze, she couldn't help but show some compassion.

Li Shimin couldn't read the meaning in Yongning's eyes, and he looked at Yongning seriously with a little appreciation. Over the years, he can see that his family Jiulang really likes this girl. And according to the information he has learned from the side in the past few years, the girl in front of him is indeed worthy of his family's Jiulang's liking...... Li Shimin's eyes narrowed involuntarily, if he didn't have higher expectations for Li Zhi and was ready to hand over heavier responsibilities to Li Zhi, maybe he would gladly fulfill this pair of little children, but it was precisely because he had spent too much effort on Li Zhi that he became more and more hesitant about how to deal with Yongning.

After being an emperor for so many years, he also has experience. For a qualified emperor, a woman can be spoiled, but not loved, trusted, but not fully trusted...... Li Shimin sighed secretly, can Li Zhi's temperament and scheming be able to control a woman like Yongning? He was skeptical. It's not that he underestimated his son, but that the daughter of this Fang family is really not simple......

Every time he looks at the legendary stories, travelogue essays, and even poems and songs written by Yongning, he can't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately, this girl is the daughter of Fang Xuanling's family, and the tutor is there, and there is a cautious father like Fang Xuanling, so he can rest assured, if he changes to another family's daughter...... Li Shimin is really worried that his son will be pinched by a woman and do something stupid to endanger the society of the country

"I've read those travelogues you wrote, it's very good" Li Shimin got up from his seat, bypassed the bookcase, put his hands in front of Yongning, paced back and forth, and said leisurely: "It is said that you have been to a lot of places in the past few years...... Pick up something that impresses you, and talk to me about it."

Yongning was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Shimin, who sat back in his seat again, although he didn't understand why he suddenly brought up this topic, but he quickly sorted out the language in his mind, and then vividly described some of the local personnel she had experienced.

Li Shimin seemed to be in good spirits, listened attentively, and asked some questions from time to time to interact with Yongning. His actions made Yongning more and more incomprehensible, and his words became more cautious.

As soon as this energy is concentrated, time flies. It seemed like it was just a blink of an eye, and an hour passed. As soon as Yongning's words came to an end, a little eunuch lowered his eyebrows and reminded Li Shimin that it was time to summon his ministers.

Yongning was about to retire, but Li Shimin actually just waved his hand to drive the little eunuch out, then groaned for a while, and suddenly asked, "I heard, you have met with King Jin?" ”

"Yes" Yongning knew that this matter could not be hidden, so he simply said without concealment: "On the second day of Xiaodao to Luoyang, I met His Royal Highness King Jin in my father's official residence......

"I heard that you were scheduled to leave Luoyang today?" Li Shimin asked again, compared to Li Zhilai, he never seemed to understand the mind of the girl in front of him.

"Yes" Yongning said with a smile on his face, his eyes full of yearning: "Although Xiaodao has been to many places over the years, there are still many places that I want to go but have not been, this road Xiaodao will continue to walk, because of the heart's desire, so I don't feel hard, and even enjoy it......"

Li Shimin looked at Yongning in a daze, she was glorified because she mentioned "where her heart wants", it seems that such a wandering life is really what she has been looking forward to. Li Shimin was very incomprehensible, he always thought that Yongning also liked Li Zhi, but he couldn't feel this from Yongning's words...... Li Shimin's face slowly sank, and he asked, "This is your 'heart's desire', so what is my Jiulang, to you?" ”

Yongning didn't expect Li Shimin to suddenly ask such a sharp question, and he was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak. Li Shimin looked at her with a cold face, and the momentum of his whole body was pressed on Yongning.

After a long while, Yongning smiled bitterly and sighed, moved his gaze to the wooden lattice window, and whispered softly: "His Royal Highness King Jin once appeared in my life plan, but now I have understood that all I can plan is my own life, and sometimes even I can't make my own decisions, let alone others...... From the day I entered the Tao, His Royal Highness King Jin and I were already two worlds, and he was a person I didn't dare to think about and couldn't think of......"

When Yongning said this, he deliberately did not use the self-title of "Xiaodao", these words were not what she should have said like a Taoist aunt who had already become a monk, but Li Shimin's persecution was in front of her, and she couldn't help but be silent. She looked up at Li Shimin, who looked contemplative, took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and said very seriously: "If there is hope, there will be despair...... What happened five years ago has taught me not to put our hopes in anyone or anything...... I am still young and can afford to be injured, but my father and mother are getting old, and it is already my unfilial fault as a daughter to not be able to accept the second elder...... I beg Your Majesty for mercy" As he spoke, Yongning knelt down, looking like he was letting Li Shimin fall.

Regarding Yongning's entry into the Tao back then, Li Shimin actually felt a little guilty about Fang Xuanling and the Fang family in his heart. Not to mention that Li Zhi himself likes Yongning, even Li Shimin is also more optimistic about Yongning, it was a good happy event, but it was not a good thing to be reconciled by Empress Changsun and the eldest grandson's family, and even Li Zhi is so tired that he can't calm down in his backyard now.

Looking at Yongning, who was kneeling there pitifully, Li Shimin waved his hand weakly to make her flat. Originally, he intended to let Yongning stay, so that Li Zhisheng could not help but fade, at this time he somewhat understood where the kind of light wind that Yongning had always shown came from, it turned out that in order not to despair, so, learned not to hope?

Li Shimin beat Yongning seriously again, and then let her leave, and finally did not leave her after all.

Yongning slowly walked outside the hall with a calm face, and suddenly raised his head, facing Li Zhi, who was standing stiffly at the entrance of the hall. Yongning's face turned pale all of a sudden, he, but heard what she said in the hall?

Li Zhiqiang held the smile on his face, and the moment he staggered, he only left two words for Yongning - take care
