【Chapter 15: A Lifetime and a Couple】(2)

"Ah Niang don't misunderstand, I didn't feel unhappy, and I didn't have a sweetheart. I just feel that I don't need so many women, just one wife is enough. ”

Concubine Wu Hui looked at her son with a gentle smile, and actually saw a little bit of the shadow of Li Xian, the king of Ning, in him. That's right, she gave birth to three children that year, and they died young, and the same is true for Eighteen Lang, as soon as her son was born, she was sent to King Ning. When the son was seven years old, he was brought back.

King Ning is gentle and transparent, with great wisdom, after his seven years of cultivation, Eighteen Lang was detached and different when he was young, she was proud of this, but now she is a little uneasy.

Although San Lang's throne was won by himself, it is not unrelated to King Ning's concession. She, the eighteenth lang, has not fought or grabbed since she was a child, and she will not have the idea of giving in to the position of the prince, right?

In addition to the three who died young, she had four children under her knees. She and her daughter Princess Xianyi, Princess Taihua, and her youngest son Twenty-one Lang can be honest with each other, but this eighteen Lang, because of the seven years apart, and because this child is too filial and sensible, she always doesn't know how to treat it. When it is close, he will hide without a trace, and when it is far away, he is afraid that the relationship between mother and son will become shallower and shallower.

She could only test again and again: "But...... You are destined not to have only one woman in this life. ”

Thankfully, her son has the same bright mind as Saburo and can understand all of her extraneous voices.

King Shou's eyes twitched slightly, and his smile did not change: "Then let's wait until the time comes, okay, A-Niang?" ”

He does understand, but his innate softness makes him not want to argue with others, not to mention that the woman in front of him is still his biological mother. He didn't know how she treated herself, although he still felt a little distance, but since she gave him life, he would love her and spend his life filial piety to her. She chose for him whoever he was to be his wife, and that was who; She wanted him to replace the crown prince, and although he didn't agree, he wouldn't object.

Anyway, it's all the same for him.

Concubine Wu Hui was always unable to refuse her eighteenth lang.

The palace suddenly fell silent, and Concubine Wu Hui couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed between their mother and son, so she smiled and said, "I heard that you went out of the palace early in the morning to King Ning's mansion, but you found King Ruyang?" ”

King Shou bowed his head and said: "Brother Hua Nu has already gone to the diligent government affairs building to wait, just wait for Aya to finish discussing state affairs, and then go upstairs to pay a visit." ”

"You can also go over and wait together, your brother may not have seen each other for a long time, right?"

"Yes."

It wasn't until her son obediently retired and left the Jiaotai Palace that Concubine Wu Hui let out a long sigh, and she didn't know whether she was sad or happy.

Regarding the revision of the law, Li Longji finally decided to hand it over to Li Linfu, and as for Zhang Jiuling, Li Longji arranged another thing for him - compiling and revising the history of the country.

In fact, this matter was already done by the Jixian Hall Bachelor when Zhang said that he was the prime minister, but it has not been done for many years. Li Longji believes that the laws and regulations are clear and clear, what kind of literary style do you want, if Zhang Jiuling is allowed to do it, wouldn't it be overkill? It would be much more appropriate for Zhang Jiuling to inherit Zhang Shuo's will and apply the literary style to the history of the country.

"Why didn't everyone hand over the revision of the law to Pei Xianggong, but directly to Li Xianggong?" When the three ministers and the permanent staff officers stepped back one after another, Xiao Jiangyuan asked.

It was clear that he was in Nanxun Hall last night, and when Princess Xianyi came, he hadn't made a decision yet, but he had already thought about it early this morning.

Xiao Jiangyuan learns things very quickly, and Li Longji has not felt like a teacher for a long time. Hearing that she was puzzled, he hurriedly stroked his beard, shook his head and said, "You don't understand this, do you?" If the law is to be used, it is a hundred years, and although we use the "Yonghui Law" today, in the final analysis, it is also the "Kaihuang Law" that followed the "Kaihuang Law" little by little. The strictness of the law that should be changed has long been corrected, and it should not be more lenient, and the revision that needs to be made now is to make the law more solid and thorough, concise and clear. Pei Xianggong is gentle, if you look at which laws are strict and unbearable, it will be a big deal. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan nodded: "So after a while, the rules and regulations on the kitchen wall of Dali Temple will be repainted again?" ”

The so-called public kitchen is the canteen, and when the officials of Dali Temple are working in the official office, they go to the public kitchen to eat. I don't know who first proposed it, what the purpose is, the wall of the public kitchen is full of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, which is aggressive and aggressive.

Li Longji didn't think of this aspect at all, and he didn't think anything about it: "The revision of the law can't be completed in two or three years, so it has to be repainted, and that is also a matter of being a prisoner, when will it start, and you will have to worry about such a trivial matter?" ”

"Because once it is repainted, the public chef of Dali Temple will not be able to use it for the time being, so where will the officials of Dali Temple go to eat?"

"Emperor Gaozong also had this kind of thing when he was there, you have read the history books, what did you do at that time?"

"At that time, it was the chef who squeezed the Ministry of Rites. The walls of the public kitchen of the Ministry of Rites are also full of words, all of which are etiquette content, and the wind and drizzle are like the wind and drizzle, and the officials of Dali Temple are so uncomfortable that they haven't eaten a meal well during that time. ”

"This is also written in the history books?"

"It was the minister who inquired." Xiao Jiangyuan said with a smile, "The minister thinks that this time it is better to let the officials of Dali Temple go and squeeze with the Yushitai, the scene may be very beautiful." ”

"Quarrel after a meal?" Li Longji couldn't cry or laugh, but his heart was extremely warm.

He didn't know that Xiao Jiangyuan was so sad to see him, so since last night, he has used state affairs to divert his attention, and even mentioned some interesting little things from time to time to make him happy.

She can have such a heart, which has already moved Li Longji, not to mention that she is a little less dull than before-he has to reward Lu Yunniang with another fifty horses of Shu brocade.

In the past few years, Li Longji has always felt that the distance between him and Xiao Jiangyuan is getting closer and closer.

His heart was beating fast suddenly, prompting him to get up lightly and walk to Xiao Jiangyuan and sit down. He was just about to put his hand on Xiao Jiangyuan's shoulder, when he heard Xiao Jiangyuan suddenly say: "Since everyone has no objection, when the law is revised, the minister will arrange it like that." King Ruyang has been waiting outside for a long time, or did King Shou go to King Ning's mansion early in the morning to invite him, and everyone hasn't seen it yet? ”

Li Longji had no choice but to withdraw his hand, get up and sit back in his place: "Hurry up." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was aware of Li Longji's actions, so he deliberately went to announce it in person. As soon as she walked outside the building, she saw Zhang Jiuling, Pei Yaoqing, Li Linfu and others, who had just come downstairs, saluting King Ruyang and King Shou.

It is clear that they are all bowing down, but Li Linfu is the closest to King Shou, and his waist is also bent the deepest. Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking it was very interesting.

King Shou is okay, always smiling quietly, upright and polite, turning a blind eye to Li Linfu, quite a bit of King Ning's former demeanor, even more similar to King Ning's own son King Ruyang.

Seeing King Shou, Xiao Jiangyuan nodded secretly, walked down the steps step by step, and after bidding farewell to the officials, he invited King Shou and King Ruyang upstairs.

As soon as he stepped into the palace, he heard that King Ruyang was very familiar and smiled affectionately: "I heard that there is a beauty in the third uncle's palace again?" ”

Li Longji was drinking tea, and immediately choked when he heard this, and saw that Xiao Jiangyuan didn't react to this, so he cleared his throat and said: "It's just Xianyi's five maids, who are both maids and Xianyi's foils, how beautiful can they be?" ”

King Ruyang couldn't help but smile and said: "Listening to the meaning of the third uncle, it seems that Princess Xianyi is not beautiful." ”

Li Longji hurriedly said: "I didn't say that, if Xianyi knows, let her blame you-Eighteen Lang, you must testify for me then." ”

King Shou shook his head and smiled: "Yes." ”

King Ruyang said again: "My nephew came all the way into the palace, and I heard many people say that among the five little ladies who entered the palace yesterday, one of them was exceptionally good-looking. Didn't the third uncle see it? ”

Li Longji looked uninterested, and glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan from time to time: "If you say that you are good-looking, I have it by my side, why bother to seek far?" And even if I want to see it, it shouldn't be me. ”

King Ruyang comprehended, and glanced at King Shou with a smile: "Little eighteen, have you seen it?" ”

King Shou has been staying out of the matter, reading books and drinking tea by himself, and suddenly heard his cousin call his name, and was slightly stunned at first: "What have you seen?" ”

"I've seen your future princess!"

The teacup in Shouwang's hand suddenly fell to the ground. He hurriedly lowered his head to pick it up, trying to hide his slightly hot cheeks, but heard the laughter of his father and brother coming from above his head.

"I don't think I've seen it yet." Ruyang Royal Road.

"I have other things to do here, so you can take your brother and take a look quietly."

"Aye!" King Shou said busily, seeing his father's lively expression, he was helpless and anxious in his heart, so he turned to look at Xiao Jiangyuan, "Ah Weng......"

Although Xiao Jiangyuan also felt that Li Longji was a little disrespectful to the old this time, he still said: "If the saint is young, he doesn't need to be mentioned at all, so he will go over the wall to see it." It is good for the king to observe etiquette, but he is also too honest. ”

This time, it was Li Longji's turn to land on the teacup.

King Ruyang hurriedly held back a laugh, pulled King Shou and retired: "Now, let's take a peek at the order, how can the etiquette be as great as the holy order, come with me!" ”

King Shou had no choice but to go with his cousin. Seeing that his cousin went straight to the side of the Agarwood Pavilion not far away, it was clear that he had planned to peek at it for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and just as he was about to shake his head, his eyes were attracted by the scenery in the pavilion.

There is only a pair of master and servant in the agarwood pavilion, and the maid is standing on one side, shading the little lady, while the little lady is sitting on the mat in the pavilion, pillowing her arm, and sleeping sweetly on the low table in front of her.

"Begonia spring sleep, but that's it." King Ruyang nodded, "What about the other four?" Yes...... Over there, Xu got up too early, and it was time to rest, and although the four of them were still open, they probably wouldn't last long. Little eighteen? Little Eighteen ......"

Hearing that King Shou did not react, King Ruyang turned his head to look, and saw that his cousin was staring at the pavilion fixedly at the moment, his eyes were gentle and lingering, and his cheeks were tinged with ambiguous colors.

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
