Since the death of Emperor Jianwen, King Ning's temper has become more and more uncertain.

Li Xiangru also became more and more afraid of King Ning.

King Ning's eyes swept coldly, and Li Xiangru's whole body trembled suddenly: "Your Highness, don't be angry first." I only heard my mother mention it casually, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Li Xiangru carefully observed King Ning's stiff complexion, and tried his best to soften and lower his voice: "Lu Chi is also dizzy, he doesn't wait for a good capital, and he wants to go to Shudi." In my opinion, it must have been the Lin family who instigated it behind the scenes. How could Elder Lu Ge agree? ”

Lu Chi!

This name has become the blade of King Ning's heart. Every time I mentioned it, it was a bloody pain.

King Ning pursed the corners of his mouth and asked expressionlessly, "Li Mo is going to Shudi, has Elder Li Ge ever responded?" ”

He and Li Mo, the uncle, have not been in contact for a long time.

The former friend, now the in-law Uncle Lang, is like a stranger.

However, if Li Xiang is Princess Ning for one day, the Li family and Ning Wangfu will have constant contact. If Li Mo really went to Shudi, his face could be regarded as lost home.

"Mother said that my grandfather not only did not agree, but also reprimanded my brother severely." Li Xiangru said, feeling a little sorry for his brother again, and couldn't help sighing: "The eldest brother is naturally impatient and temperamental, and his grandfather is angry, not only did he not show weakness, but he contradicted his grandfather for a few words. ”

"In a fit of rage, my grandfather ordered someone to take leave for my brother and put him in the study."

What Shudi, Li Mo doesn't want to go.

King Ning was a little relieved, thinking of Lu Chi, his heart was dark again.

The thoughts that have been suppressed in my heart for a long time suddenly hit my heart. He suddenly had a strong impulse, he wanted to go to Lu Mansion immediately and see Lu Chi.

He was a dignified vassal king. came to the door in person, and Lu Chi had no reason to refuse to leave the door.

King Ning stood up suddenly.

Li Xiangru was stunned: "It's so late, does Your Highness still want to go out?" ”

King Ning snorted, didn't say where he was going, turned around and walked out.

……

Li Xiangru bit his lip hard, but he didn't dare to catch up and ask, watching King Ning's figure disappear in front of him, his heart was empty.

Fortunately, Li Xiangru is used to this emptiness and loneliness, and even more accustomed to King Ning's coldness.

"Princess Qi Ning," the palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to report: "The little county king is crying, and the nurse can't be coaxed." ”

The little county king in the mouth of the palace maid is Brother Ting'er who has just passed 100 days. Li Xiangru regarded Brother Ting'er as an eyeball, and when he heard it, he immediately couldn't sit still, got up and went to the inner room.

Brother Ting was indeed born white and strong, and at first glance he looked like a six- or seven-month-old baby. There was a commotion, and the crying was especially loud.

Li Xiangru hugged Brother Ting'er into his arms, patting and coaxing: "Brother Ting'er, the mother concubine is holding you." ”

Brother Ting was used to hearing Li Xiangru's voice, and after a while, he really quieted down.

The nurse and palace maid on the side were busy smiling and flattering: "The little prince and the princess are the closest." No matter how the slaves and maids coaxed, it didn't work, and as soon as the princess came, the little county king was honest. ”

The more unborn you are, the more you love to hear such words.

Sure enough, Li Xiangru suddenly stretched his eyebrows and smiled: "This is the truth." Brother Ting loves to be close to me. ”

Brother Ting'er's mother-in-law is dead, and what he sees when he opens his eyes is Li Xiangru's mother-in-law. Raised by his side every day, like a mother and son.

When the nurse and the palace maids saw Li Xiangru's smiling face, they became more and more interested in welcoming her, coaxing Li Xiangru to smile between her eyebrows. Throw aside the loneliness and sadness that King Ning insisted on leaving.

……

It was getting dark.

The ladies of the Lu Mansion were all in the inner house, and the men had no one to go out to socialize, so they went back to their homes.

Lu Chi met with Sheng Hong at noon, and everything that should be said was clear, and his heart was quite happy. I deliberately went home early today. It's just that from afar, I saw a familiar and disgusting figure.

Lu Chi paused, there was no smile on his face, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

King Ning was originally standing with his hands in his hands, but at this time, he seemed to have a spirit in his heart, and turned around.

In the twilight, the long, jade figure was a little blurred, and the face was not clear. But in King Ning's heart, Lu Chi Junxiu's face seemed to be engraved into the bottom of his heart. No matter how far away it is, no matter how dim the light is, it can be seen at a glance.

After the two broke up, they saw each other from afar at most, and never met separately again.

King Ning couldn't help himself, and stepped forward quickly.

Lu Chi stood in place and did not move. When King Ning approached, he said coldly: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness King Ning what is the important matter when he comes?" ”

King Ning's heart was stabbed hard, and his cold eyes showed a little sourness: "Ziyu ......"

"Only people who are close and friendly call me Ziyu." Lu Chi interrupted King Ning expressionlessly: "Your Highness can call me by my name, Lu Chi." ”

King Ning: "......"

In this world, words have never hurt people the most.

King Ning is cold-hearted and never takes anyone to heart. There is no good face for Li Xiangru. Today, he was hurt by Lu Chi's cold refusal.

King Ning took a deep breath, swallowed all the bitterness in his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Ziyu, do you really want to go to Shudi?" ”

Lu Chi nodded without hesitation: "Yes." Grandfather has agreed, and I have also gone to see His Royal Highness the King of Shu. ”

King Ning frowned and lowered his voice: "You have a bright future, you can stay in the capital." Why bother to go to Shu to be an official. You don't want to see me, and you don't have to stay far from the capital. ”

Lu Chi's eyes were cold: "His Royal Highness King Ning has thought too much. His Royal Highness the King of Shu attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and I am willing to follow. It has nothing to do with His Royal Highness King Ning. ”

"His Royal Highness King Ning's status is precious, and if there is a slight mistake, the Lu Mansion can't afford it. I won't invite His Royal Highness King Ning into the Lu Mansion. ”

With a slight arch of his hand, he walked past King Ning.

This is Lu Chi.

The most important friendship, the softest heart.

Once you turn your face, you don't look back.

King Ning silently watched Lu Chi's figure, until Lu Chi entered the Lu Mansion, and the gate of the Lu family was closed again. King Ning stood in place for a moment, and finally sighed silently and left gloomily.

……

Half a month later.

Lin Yushi played again, and invited the vassal king to become a vassal domain.

“…… Since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, there has long been a practice. When the new emperor ascends the throne, the adult vassal king should leave the capital and go to the domain. It is not only for the stability of the court, but also for the stability of the country. ”

"Wechen implores the emperor to decree that all the vassal kings will be vassal."

As soon as Lin Yushi's voice fell, Xie Shilang of the Ministry of Rites also came out and said: "The emperor values brotherhood and can't bear to be separated from his brothers. Therefore, the vassal kings were not allowed to be vassals for a long time. ”

"This friendship is touching. It's just that the vassal king is a rule set when the Great Qi Dynasty was established. I beg the emperor to decree it. ”

Then, all the elders of Shangshu Pavilion seconded the proposal.

It has been a month since the first emperor was buried. It is indeed time for the vassal kings to leave Beijing and become vassals.

His Royal Highness the King of Shu took the initiative to come out and said, "My brother is willing to be the first to go to the domain, and I beg the emperor for permission!" ”()
