Chapter 117: Provocation

The crown prince Li Chengqian, who was walking in the forefront, had a gloomy face, followed by Li Tai, the king of Wei, with a smile on his face, and then Li Ke, the king of Wu, Li You, the king of Qi, and Li Su, the king of Shu, were obviously holding a group, walking in one place and still talking. Li Zhi walked at the end with his head down, as if he had been hit by something.

Judging from the arrangement in the palace, obviously no one expected that the crown prince Li Chengqian and these princes would be unfamiliar guests today, although the main seat was empty, but Li Chengqian still turned to look at Li Zhi, raised his eyebrows and said: "Ninth brother, it seems that today is the lonely brother who has disturbed your situation, it seems that the ninth brother didn't want to invite his brothers to come together to be lively......

Li Zhi seemed to be very afraid of His Royal Highness the Prince, so he shrank back invisibly, and then bowed hurriedly and said, "It's all the courtiers' poor arrangement, please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince."

Li Tai, the king of Wei, Li Chengqian, and Li Zhi are compatriots of the same mother, but at this time, they watched Li Chengqian do Li Zhi as a play, but Li Ke, the king of Wu, frowned, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, if you want to talk about it, this is no wonder Jiulang, besides, it's not a big deal, it's just ...... to rearrange the seats" Saying, he nodded at a few palace maids and eunuchs who were standing at a loss not far away, signaling them to arrange quickly.

Li Chengqian seemed to have some scruples about Li Ke, snorted coldly, glared at him twice, and sat down on the chairman regardless of it. Li You, the king of Qi, and Li Su, the king of Shu, have also been famous figures in the Chang'an world in the past two years, and there are many people in the distant seats who are good friends with the two, so the two of them happily pulled Li Ke to go there, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, walked up to Li Zhi at this time and comforted him softly, and then pulled him to sit under Li Chengqian.

Due to the rearrangement of the seats, Yongning quietly told Princess Gaoyang, and then avoided Fang Yi**. She is really impatient to entertain these princes, especially in the middle, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, whose mental state is obviously not normal. Fang Yi ** is really worthy of being a brother and sister who has been with Yongning for more than ten years, and he has already taken advantage of the time to meet and rearrange the seats, and pulled a few brothers who have good friendships with him, and quietly reserved a place for Yongning. [zdff sticker bar hand hit group]

In the past few years, the good friendship with Fang Yi ** is basically the teenagers of the meritorious families of martial arts generals and three thick martial arts, all of them are adults, Yongning is sitting between them, and they are blocked tightly. These people have also been mixed in the upper class society of Chang'an for many years, and they all "know a lot" about Yongning's "forced to become a monk", and they don't know how many times they have comforted Fang Yu ** in private.

Princess Gaoyang and Princess Jinyang's thoughts were on Li Zhi at this time, and looking at his pale face, they couldn't help but worry, and they didn't know what had happened. The relationship between Princess Gaoyang and Li Chengqian and Li Tai can only be regarded as ordinary, anyway, they don't like each other, and they usually just barely get by in front of people, but they will definitely not talk to each other, so she can only sit in a good place and be anxious, and she can't help Li Zhi at all.

However, Princess Jinyang is different, not only is she a fellow mother with those two, but she is also favored at a young age, so even the prince and the king of Wei usually coax her softly, and rarely speak sharply. So Princess Jinyang took the fruit wine in her hand, ran to Li Chengqian with her skirt, and said half-coquettishly: "Brother Prince, this glass of wine respects your brother, but I haven't come to the Lizheng Palace to see my son for a long time......"

Li Chengqian's eyes softened, he forced a smile, drank a cup with Princess Jinyang, and said gently: "Brother has been busy these days, and after tomorrow, my brother will take you to hunt, okay?" ”

Princess Jinyang nodded vigorously and said flatteringly: "Brother Prince, take Brother Jiu with you too, okay?" ”

Li Chengqian's eyes suddenly became cold, and he said impatiently: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has a heavy daily homework, and my father can't leave him for a moment, where can he have fun with us?" As he spoke, he looked at Li Zhi, who was sitting quietly beside Li Tai with his head bowed.

Princess Jinyang's hand trembled, but she didn't dare to continue the topic, and hurriedly pulled Li Chengqian to talk about other things, in short, she hoped that Li Chengqian would stop paying attention to Li Zhi. [zdff sticker bar hand hit group]

Li Tai was big, and when he sat there, he occupied most of the case, and Li Zhi sat beside him, looking extremely thin. However, their seat was opposite Princess Gaoyang, separated by the position of the central hall, and it was not cheap to even speak.

The few cases close to the throne are mostly princesses, and under the pressure of Li Chengqian's low pressure, no one can talk loudly, although there are constant whispers, but after all, they are much quieter than those seats that are far away. Li Chengqian himself also felt depressed, and after Princess Jinyang finally said that she had nothing to say and returned to Princess Gaoyang, he drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and then raised his voice and said, "King Jin, this is the banquet you arranged?" Why isn't there even a song or dance? ”

Although Li Zhi was startled by Li Chengqian's voice, he still stood up quickly, but did not speak, but just looked at the female official Fanghua, who had been standing silently behind Li Chengqian. This female official was specially sent by the queen to help Li Zhi arrange tonight's banquet, it can be said that although he borrowed Li Zhi's name, he really didn't interfere with today's banquet.

Fanghua is also an old man next to the queen, and in the past ten years, she has been used to seeing the battle between Li Chengqian and Li Tai, as for the rectification of Li Zhi by these two brothers, although she can't see it, she doesn't dare to open her mouth at all. At this time, everyone could see that the prince was going to be the king of Jin, so although she obviously saw Li Zhi looking at her, her eyes suddenly turned her face away, and she didn't dare to say anything at all.

Li Zhi's face turned even paler, and he stood there and lowered his head.

Li Chengqian smiled coldly, waved his hand and smashed the cups and plates on several cases to the ground, and after the hall was quiet, he looked over little by little with a terrifying gaze, with a slight bloodthirsty taste on his lips, and said, "Don't you think that there is a lack of singing and dancing in this hall?" ”

The banquet in the autumn hunt is usually people of equal status, contacting each other, although there are often singing and dancing performances, but for these young people, they prefer to gamble on wine and dance, which is far more interesting than the performances of those singing and dancing girls. But at this moment, the prince's expression and tone, who would dare to deny his words?

Although he did not dare to deny the prince's words, no one dared to echo them. Who knows what kind of madness Li Chengqian is sending at this time? If the horse's ass is slapped on the horse's hooves, it will really outweigh the losses. Although there were many people sitting there, there were no stupid ones, so the hall was still quiet.

The prince became more and more annoyed, and suddenly snorted coldly, and said with a smile: "Although the arrangement of the King of Jin today is inappropriate, aren't all the daughters sitting here famous for their talents?" Isn't there anyone ready to show it to you? ”

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, Fang Yi** immediately subconsciously blocked Yongning behind him, coughed lightly, and glanced at the brothers beside him, so a circle of strong men quietly blocked Yongning so that not even a single hair was exposed.

Princess Gaoyang and Princess Jinyang glanced at each other, and then the two sisters quietly glanced in the direction of Fang Yi** without a trace, and saw that Yongning was blocked tightly, so they quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

If you want to say that there will be no shortage of those who want to climb high branches in this world, although most of the ladies sitting there are self-contained identities and refuse to respond to Li Chengqian's words, but there are still three or two deaf and unsighted women who stand up shyly, or play or sing, although there are many people who are ashamed, but they can't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief in everyone's hearts, and finally round this scene.

After a period of singing and dancing, Li Chengqian suddenly looked at Li Zhi and asked, "Where is the little lady of the Fang family?" ”

Li Zhi, who had been standing there with his head down, raised his head suddenly when he heard the words, and the sharp edge in his eyes flashed, but he couldn't bear to speak. Princess Jinyang, who was sitting opposite, was shocked and hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Prince is really right, where is there any little lady of the Fang family now...... The little lady of the Fang family was already a monk in Qianyuanguan last month, and the road number was given by her father, called Ning Zhen."

"Lone forgot about it, is she here today? Why didn't you see it? Li Chengqian's gaze swept over the crowd.

Yongning closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then gently patted Fang Yi**, whose whole body was stiff, and then stood up, slapped his hand in the direction of Li Chengqian, and said, "The trail is here."

"Ah, it turns out that the room, no, it should be called Ning Zhen, why did Ning Zhen's little lady sit there? Let's come to the front......" Li Chengqian put on a kind posture and greeted Yongning gently.

The eyes of everyone in the hall were once again focused on Yongning, and many people admired her for being able to put on such a calm and clear appearance at this time. And those who are close to Yongning are secretly worried about her.

Li Zhi hadn't seen Yongning for a long time. Since she entered the Tao, she has never been out of Qianyuanguan, and Li Zhi was stared at by the queen, entangled by a bunch of trivial things, and she didn't have any time to run to Qianyuanguan. Although he had always known that Yongning had entered the Dao, when Yongning, who was wearing a Taoist robe, could walk slowly, Li Zhi's heart couldn't help but hurt.

Yongning's face was calm, but his eyes couldn't help but be on Li Zhi. He was thin, thin, and his face was too pale...... She was also distressed. She can imagine what kind of life Li Zhi has been living recently, he has been regarded as a thorn in the side by the crown prince and the king of Wei, and his father, who intends to hone himself, has always stood by and watched, if Li Zhi can still be red-faced, it will be a strange thing

Looking at this young man under pressure, Yongning suddenly felt a trace of apology in his heart. If she hadn't deliberately mentioned those things in front of Li Chengqian, Li Zhi would still be able to quietly hide behind Li Shimin and grow up slowly...... However, as soon as she thought of what happened to her, Yongning suddenly felt that this person should be with her and share weal and woe
