Chapter 144 says peace

Yongning was originally just angry, but when Li Zhi appeared, an emotion called "grievance" rose inexplicably in his heart. She snorted coldly, turned around, turned her back to Li Zhi, and said: "My place, I don't want His Royal Highness the King of Jin to deal with the affairs of the inner house, His Royal Highness is busy, Xiaodao will not leave His Highness, please take your 'people' and things, and leave quickly."

She urged Li Zhi to leave as soon as possible, but it wasn't all because she was angry. She was afraid that if Fang Xuanling rushed back at this time, then the matter would be even more difficult to end. And in the final analysis, Li Zhi was provoked by herself, and today's "grievance" is not unjustified for her, but she can't involve her father and suffer this insult......

Li Zhi opened his mouth, wanting to explain and comfort, but in the end he didn't say a word, just sighed, and left with the gifts of Xiao and that place.

As soon as Yongning waited for Li Zhi to leave, he immediately gathered all the subordinates in the family and issued a gag order, strictly prohibiting telling Fang Xuanling about Xiao's visit. Then she went back to her room and lay down, she was tired, but she couldn't close her eyes at this time, and as soon as she closed her eyes, Xiao's face dangled in front of her eyes, disturbing her. After rolling on the couch for more than half an hour, she finally had to sigh in resignation and get up to freshen up.

The sun was shining on this day, and although the temperature was still low, it still made people feel comfortable. Yongning took it upon himself to pack up the long table and pen, ink, paper and inkstone under the eaves, and took advantage of the sunshine to practice calligraphy and meditate.

Over the years, when her heart was not quiet, she would silently follow the Tao Te Ching. I don't try to understand any big truths, but I just write them out word by word very seriously. Although she has no fixed place in the past few years, she has really practiced this word, even Fang Xuanling has praised her a few words in the correspondence between them, of course, those words of praise are followed by more than three times the words of admonition, but even this really makes her excited. It is definitely not an easy task to get Fang Xuanling's praise.

Yongning wrote carefully stroke by stroke, and his heart really calmed down gradually. When the sound of footsteps came again outside the courtyard, she had just finished writing a "Tao Te Ching" word for word. Because the footsteps were very familiar to her, she didn't look up at the visitor, but picked up the paper with the ink in her hand that had not dried, and checked it again from beginning to end, confirming that there were no omissions and mistakes, and it could be regarded as today's homework After handing it over to Fang Xuanling for review, she wiped her hands with the wet handkerchief that had been prepared a long time ago, and said, "What?" Invited by His Royal Highness King Jin to be a lobbyist? ”

Princess Jinyang was standing a few steps ahead, looking at Yongning with a smile, not caring about Yongning's rudeness at the moment. After all, they grew up in love, although they clearly divided the identities of monarchs and ministers in front of people, but they have always been used to it casually in private. Just such a simple question, Princess Jinyang could hear that Yongning was not really angry this time, but she was afraid that she was wronged......

Although the sunshine outside is still good, where is Yongning good for Princess Jinyang, who has been frail since childhood, to sit in the courtyard and lead her into her bedroom.

"It's too shabby here, isn't it? There are many words without mistakes, "Princess Jinyang really didn't expect that Yongning's residence was as simple as the quiet room in the Taoist temple, and she didn't have any taste in her heart." She has known Yongning for many years, and before Yongning left Chang'an, in addition to Daxing Palace, the place she is most familiar with is the Fang family.

Although the Fang family's family style is rigorous, whether it is Fang Xuanling or Mrs. Lu does not advocate luxury decoration, but these two people are really concerned about Yongning, whether it is Yongning's courtyard in Fangfu or the splendid village in the western suburbs, the layout is fine, and Yongning has never been wronged in terms of food and clothing. And now the furniture and supplies in this room, under a closer look, are not even comparable to the quiet room of Yongning in Qianyuanguan at the beginning, Princess Jinyang couldn't help but feel sad.

How much hardship does this have to endure to make a young lady who has been well-dressed and well-fed since childhood be at ease in today's environment? Director Jinyang Gong Yongning pulled her to sit down on the couch, remembering that when Li Zhifang went to see her, she lifted the Taoist robe on Yongning's body, she pulled the sleeve of Yongning's robe into her hand, and gently rubbed it twice, which really scratched the back of her hand. She looked up at Yongning, and didn't know where to start for a moment.

When Yongning saw Princess Jinyang's movement rubbing her robe, and saw the expression on her face, he couldn't help but smile lightly and said, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

"You, all these years?" Princess Jinyang pointed to the Taoist robe on Yongning's body and said, "It's just outside, how can you follow Fang Xiang, or like this?" ”

According to Princess Jinyang, it's just enough to suffer these hardships when she goes out, but why is she following her father and still suffering like this? On the way she escaped from Chang'an, although she also suffered some hardships, but there was really no way to do that, once she arrived in the big city, when there was a place to supply, she had never treated herself materially, let alone when she was with Li Shimin, although she was out of the house, but the level of material enjoyment was only higher than Chang'an, and definitely not lower than Chang'an......

Yongning pursed his lips and smiled, glanced at Princess Jinyang, and said: "As a monk, Xiaodao cultivates with heart is his duty, and this cultivation is himself, what does it have to do with where?" Doesn't Your Highness think that sometimes those brocade clothes and jade food are like a cage, which makes people not free at all, but the coarse tea and light rice are more comfortable......"

Princess Jinyang nodded thoughtfully, but she quickly got up again, glanced at Yongning, and said, "I'm just asking casually, why do you use these big truths to gag my mouth?" Besides, I'm not good for you? I can't help but feel distressed when I see you suffering......" As she spoke, her gaze suddenly narrowed, meaning something.

Yongning suddenly understood, Princess Jinyang's last sentence was probably not from her mouth, but from Li Zhi, right? There are many words Yongning pursed his lips and said: "As long as I am at ease in my heart, I will suffer some hardships, and I will be happy in my heart......"

As soon as Princess Jinyang heard it, she knew that Yongning had heard the meaning of her words, and quickly put away the teasing expressions on her face, coughed dryly, and said very seriously: "Brother Jiu went to Qingyunguan to find me just now, and he was so anxious that his head was sweating, he was not afraid that you would be angry with him, but he was afraid that you would be angry in your heart and break your body, so he asked me to come to see you......"

Yongning lowered his head, sighed softly, and said, "Angry? In fact, thinking about it now, it's quite unreasonable for me to be unhappy, why should I be angry with others? Why not be happy? I ......" she was most angry at that time, but she didn't lean on the "Li Zhi's woman", it was purely right and wrong, but after she went back to the room and lay down on the couch, it seemed that she suddenly remembered that the so-called "concubine" was not Li Zhi's little wife? She hasn't had anything to do with Li Zhi, and the woman in his backyard has already been thinking about her, and this realization really makes her unhappy

Although the meaning of Yongning's words is quite vague, Princess Jinyang, with her years of friendship, immediately understood where Yongning's heart knot was entangled at the moment. "Okay...... Princess Jinyang pushed Yongning and said, "Are you really in trouble with that kind of woman who can't be on the stage?" If you want me to say, you have been out there for a few years, if you come back early, I'm afraid that you and Brother Jiu would have already had results, where can you still bear this idleness at this time? ”

Yongning sneered and said: "If that's the case, although this kind of anger will not be bearable, but other anger, I'm afraid that it will be more unbearable, if it really comes to that time, I'm afraid that it's not just angry, and the annoying thing will never be only angry......

"Yongning, you ......" Princess Jinyang was very unaccustomed to the slightly sharp Yongning in front of her, and said with some hesitation: "Brother Jiu is outside, do you want to meet him?" He was afraid that you would be angry, so he didn't dare to come in with me......"

Yongning shook his head gently, seeing that Princess Jinyang's face changed slightly, he hurriedly said: "I didn't see him, it's not because of that, it's just that the hour is not early, who knows when my father will come back?" If you get bumped into by your daddy, it's not good...... This morning he forcibly pulled me out, already so angry that my father dropped the cup, if he bumped into it again at this time, hmph, he was clean when he left, and I was left alone with my father's anger, I couldn't bear it, I would never do such a stupid thing."

When Princess Jinyang heard Yongning's explanation, her face immediately softened, and then she nodded with concern, and said: "What you said is reasonable, Fang Xiang's face has been a little ugly for a while, and his temper is not good, you have to be careful......"

"You, you tell him, I'm angry with myself for a while about today's events, and it's over, let him, let him not worry about this, now it's better to think about His Majesty's Eastern Crusade, this prison country is not easy to do......" Yongning half-lowered his eyelids and didn't look at Princess Jinyang's playful gaze.

Princess Jinyang originally came here to play a round for Li Zhi, but at this moment, seeing that Yongning really didn't look like she was really annoyed by Li Zhi, she was also relieved, and she was a little more comfortable talking. But she also heard something wrong from Yongning's words, and felt that it was necessary to remind Li Zhi in private, if he really decided to be with Yongning, then some words were absolutely necessary to say.

Yongning's mood was originally calm because of practicing calligraphy, but because of Princess Jinyang's visit, it became chaotic again. She has never been timid and brave enough, and when faced with future choices, she really lacks a firm belief in moving forward - she thinks, she is afraid, she dare not ......

She suddenly decided that after waiting for Fang Xuanling to come back, she must have an open and honest talk with him, about her future, about Li Zhi......
