[Chapter 11: The Love between Men and Women] (1)
"What can Cui Zuocheng see? Could it be that Ah Lang thought that when the slave maid was changing clothes, Cui Zuocheng was standing on the side? ”
How dare he? Li Longji snorted coldly in his heart and said, "He shouldn't look at it in front of him, won't he still peek?" My aunt deliberately asked him to follow, there must be some plot, since it is Cui Chenglan who sent it, and the object is you, what else is there to plot besides your identity as a woman? Cui Chenglan is determined to return in vain. ”
Xiao Jiangyuan said: "He can only return in vain." ”
"Where do you start?"
"Concubine Wang Xian and King Xue are also outside the courtyard, even if Cui Zuocheng wants to peek, he has no chance."
This sound reasonable, but Li Longji always felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, he couldn't get a result, so he had to give up for the time being, and his tone softened a little: "That dress...... Really uncomfortable dressing? ”
Xiao Jiangyuan didn't think about it, so he nodded and said, "Yes." ”
The corners of Li Longji's lips hooked: "Then you wear it a few more times, and one day you will feel comfortable." ”
But when will you be able to wear it again?
Xiao Jiangyuan didn't want to pay attention to this topic, so he said: "What does Ah Lang think of what Princess Zhenguo did today?" ”
Li Longji didn't force it, so he said: "My aunt wants to borrow your identity to pull me off the crown prince, although this idea is feasible, she is a little anxious." Today is for the sake of the eldest brother and Song Xianggong, she didn't make a move, and what will happen in the coming day, but I can't say for sure. ”
Xiao Jiangyuan thought about it, and finally became a little unwilling, and said: "Ah Lang is going to keep this army in the way, and the water will cover it?" ”
"You want me to strike first?"
"If Ah Lang is afraid that the saint will be sad, there is no need to use too obvious ways. The princess of Zhenguo is fierce and has her own omissions, which can make her kill herself. ”
Li Longji looked at Xiao Jiangyuan meaningfully: "Why do I have the feeling that you have already made the decision for me?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan smiled faintly and said flatly: "Really? ”
After that, there was no more words, and there was an inexplicable tranquility and embarrassment between them.
Li Long was basically joking, seeing Xiao Jiangyuan's reaction so indifferent, he didn't feel so bored. He raised his eyebrows, sighed lowly, took a few steps back, and sat down on the circle chair: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's just ...... Maybe my aunt doesn't remember anymore, but I still do. Do you know who sent the news of the death of your mother and A-Niang? ”
"Princess Zhenguo?"
Li Longji shook his head: "No, it's Wei Tuan'er." ”
"Is it the palace maid who wants to climb the high branch of the saint but can't succeed, becomes angry and angry, and frames the queen and the concubine?"
Li Longji smiled bitterly: "The death of my mother and A-Niang, of course, is due to my ignorance, but it is also inseparable from Wei Tuan'er. At that time, when Wei Tuan'er came to interrogate, she also tried to force Aya to accept her, and it was my aunt who covered my head with her sleeve, covered my eyes with one hand, and put one hand on one of my ears, and hugged me in front of her. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jiangyuan already knew the answer.
"So, to my aunt, I will only fight back." After a pause, Li Longji's tone sank, "And once I fight back, I will never be soft." ”
"Ah Lang is not afraid, the princess of Zhenguo will be fatal with one blow, and Ah Lang will not be given any chance to fight back at all?"
Li Longji leaned on the circle chair, supported his cheeks with his hands, raised his head and looked at Xiao Jiangyuan steadily, and the corners of his lips pursed: "My aunt only has you one handle at most now, as long as her matter is resolved, she doesn't even have a chance to let me kill with one blow." ”
Xiao Jiangyuan was very keenly aware of Li Longji's intentions, but he still asked, "How does Ah Lang plan to solve it?" ”
"Rather than waiting for others to debunk it, let's admit it ourselves."
When bidding farewell to the East Palace, Li Longye always felt that something was not quite right. When I saw the third brother and Ah Yuan standing together one after the other, I only felt that it was very pleasing to the eye and a good match, why did it look so awkward on this day? San Lang and Ah Yuan are clearly the same as they are on weekdays, and there is no change.
He was really puzzled, so he pulled Xiao Jiangyuan aside and whispered, "It can't be that the third brother discovers your secret, right?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan shook his head: "It has nothing to do with that." ”
"Then you ......"
Xiao Jiangyuan smiled slightly, his tone was more plain than before, and a little more gentle: "The prince is the prince, and the slave is the slave, how can it be generalized?" ”
Li Longye: "......"
Ah Yuan was angry...... It's scary......
How did the third brother provoke Ah Yuan? Li Longye quickly ended the topic with Xiao Jiangyuan, turned his head and ran to Li Longji, and whispered, "What happened to you and Ah Yuan last night?" ”
Li Longji's eyes narrowed slightly: "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" ”
"You, she, you two," Li Longye pointed back and forth, "Is this normal?" ”
"So, you're trying to help us both get back to where we were?"
"I ......" Li Longye didn't dare to tell the third brother, he was actually very happy to see this situation. But happy is happy, he will still help if he should help, "Yes, yes, I want to help, after all, I am your own brother, and Ah Yuan and I are good friends." ”
"Then there is no need," Li Longji's expression was relaxed, but there was a trace of seriousness in his eyes, "The problem between me and her cannot be interfered with by others, and I have no intention of letting others interfere." ”
"But am I 'someone else'?"
"Yes."
Li Longye: "......"
Let them continue to fight like this! I don't care!
In the inner room of the Mingde Palace, only Xiao Jiangyuan and Li Longji remained. At this time, all the brothers had already left the East Palace, Li Longji looked down at the Xianghui calyx that Shiro Li Longfan had just painted last night, put his hands behind his back, and said very leisurely: "You have had a deep relationship with Gorou recently. ”
Xiao Jiangyuan said lightly: "Haven't the slaves and maids already had a deep relationship with King Xue since the Shangyang Palace back then?" At that time, Ah Lang was also present. ”
Li Longji looked back at Xiao Jiangyuan, and was silent for a long time before sighing: "...... Do you have to talk to me like that? You're not afraid ......," he didn't say the rest of the story.
Xiao Jiangyuan knew after thinking about it, and said, "Ah Lang can send the slave and maid back to the court." ”
Li Longji was a little angry: "You'd rather go back to the court than restore your status as a woman, and then ......"
Thinking of this, Xiao Jiangyuan's mood was also a little unstable, and he didn't dare to listen to Li Longji: "Ah Lang can't forget, is the slave a woman?" ”
"How did you make me forget?! Could it be that you plan to live as a eunuch for the rest of your life, and you never thought of restoring your status as a woman?! Li Longji was completely enraged, "Let me tell you, I am not a grandmother, I was not before, I am not now, and I will not be in the future!" I will not magnify my patience infinitely when faced with loyal and capable ministers. I've had enough...... Who am I in your eyes? ”
Xiao Jiangyuan's heart tightened, but he couldn't help but chuckle: "So in Ah Lang's eyes, who is the slave and maid?" The slave maid is dedicated to Ah Lang, but she doesn't want to be calculated by Ah Lang one day. Did Ah Lang really regard the slave and maid as a loyal and capable minister, or was it just a plaything for Ah Lang? ”
Li Longji's frowning brows suddenly stretched out with the slightly raised handsome eyebrows, but there was no trace of relief and relief that overflowed. He was a little surprised, and he couldn't believe it, he looked at Xiao Jiangyuan with a smile, and his voice was low like the echo of the crows in the valley: "In the past few years...... That's what I think of you? ”
Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan didn't speak, Li Longji laughed self-deprecatingly: "I roughly understand, since I am like this in your heart, then you will definitely not take me to heart, at most it is just a promise of the monarch and ministers, if you say anything else, it is just my imagination to think about it...... " After a pause, he walked in front of Xiao Jiangyuan, "Raise your head and look at me...... Am I right? ”
The smile on Xiao Jiangyuan's lips was completely frozen, and her hands were clenched and loosened: "...... Be. In the eyes of the slave and maid, Ah Lang and the slave and maid only have the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and there is no love between men and women. ”
"Happy!" Li Longji smiled, "It's okay to say so, I don't have to think about it anymore in the future." After speaking, Li Longji walked away.
In July of this year, the new emperor couldn't help but usher in the change of the yuan, and also caught up with a war mutiny that had not been seen for many years - Li Chongfu, the king of Chen, raised troops.
The reason is very simple, Zhongzong died, and the young emperor Li Chongmao was deposed, so Zhongzong was left with only one son. The imperial kingdom Zuo has always inherited his father's business, and it is logical that the Tang Dynasty throne will be inherited by him, but what is the matter with King Xiang's succession? Coupled with the death of Wei, Li Chongfu felt that he had finally come out of the way, although he was a little hesitant at first, but under the prodding of the leader of a ruffian and a villain who was driven out by the central court, he was determined to raise troops and regain his own throne!
Li Dan had just ascended the throne, and he caught up with a rebellion, and he felt quite unlucky, and he unconsciously remembered that A-Niang was the regent of the Queen Mother in the past, and Xu Jingye rebelled. The war was very powerful, and a letter written by King Luo Bin was even more famous all over the world, and A-Niang killed the prime minister Pei Yan's family to determine the court and the army's heart, what a courage, but he ......
He also felt very embarrassed to say it, but he really didn't know what to do.
Since Zhongzong's death, Li Chongfu's existence has been very embarrassing. First, Wei sent troops to watch, and then Li Dan ascended the throne, but he was always invisible, as if there was no such person in the clan. As long as Li Chongfu lives peacefully in his own small territory, Li Dan is willing to support him with the best treatment.
It's not that he didn't think that Li Chongfu would rebel, but he didn't expect that he would rebel so quickly and lose faster. It's actually very simple to deal with, but he always feels that it's not a taste. He is an uncle, and he had to take the throne of his nephew, this nephew who used to be the emperor still lives in the palace, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is only afraid that it is no different from house arrest.
It's really boring to be an emperor, but he can't quit yet - there is not only Princess Taiping's eyeliner in the East Palace, but naturally there is also his. It's just that his eyeliner not only paid attention to Li Longji, but also observed Xiao Jiangyuan. He's kind of starting to believe the rumors.
The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
