【Chapter 29: Hot Spring Water Slippery Washing and Cream】(2)
Li Dan naturally let Li Xian call the shots. Back at the Guanfeng Palace, Wu Cao did not object when he heard it, and added some spirit, and named Li Dan's five sons to participate on the spot, and then brought her Xiao Lang, which is called the "Shangyang Palace Team".
The first team of the polo team was ten people, and seeing that there were still four missing, Li Chengqi asked Wu Cao if there were other candidates. Wu Cao thought for a while and said, "How about King Siyong's bow?" ”
Li Shouli, the king of Yong, is the second son of the deposed prince Li Xian, and the only surviving son of Li Xian, and now he is the eldest grandson of Li Zhi.
Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes froze when he heard this, and a feeling of uneasiness came to his heart again. In March, when he heard that Li Xianfu and the Xiao clan were the Wang clan and the Xiao clan, although Wu Cao only chuckled, he still reacted a little; When it came to the screen, although she didn't care, when she saw the one offered by Li Longji and others, her eyes were still full of tears of joy. Li Xian has always been the deepest thorn in her heart as a mother, and she was still a little bit gritted when she mentioned it before, but now when it comes to Li Xian's son, she has no waves.
Xiao Jiangyuan had a somewhat solemn expression, and with the delicate pink peony in his hair, he looked very funny. Wu Cao didn't wait for Li Chengqi to answer, looked at Xiao Jiangyuan and laughed: "Let Erlang come over too, it's your grandfather's eldest grandson, and the remaining three, you can choose by yourself." ”
Li Xian followed Wu Cao's gaze, and couldn't help laughing, and said jokingly: "Isn't it that Ah Yuan is still young and can't bow?" ”
Wu Cao chuckled and shook his head: "Not only can't you bow down, you can't even ride a horse." ”
"Then A-Niang still let him play, and she is not afraid that Shangyang Palace will lose?"
Wu Cao looked at Xiao Jiangyuan, with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were deep: "He has to learn sooner or later, I can still see it now, but if it is in the future, I won't be able to see it." ”
"A-Niang, don't talk nonsense!" Li Dan said busily.
Li Xian also hurriedly persuaded him, and when the topic changed, he glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan thoughtfully. A-Niang treated him like this, Wan'er mentioned that he only appreciated, the queen didn't take him seriously at all, Hachiro and Taiping were non-committal, and Bao'er was determined to win him. He couldn't help but recall the night of the coup, and after Ah Niang clicked, she said that she would leave Xiao Jiangyuan to him, and let him treat him as a national soldier in the future, saying that it would be useful to him one day...... Is it difficult for a little eunuch to still be in and out of the phase?
If that's the case, so what's the matter? Li Xianke couldn't stand his daughter's bitter begging anymore, so it was better to directly fulfill her wish, anyway, Xiao Jiangyuan had also done the first meeting, and by the way, he could see what he was capable of. If he can't even settle the wrap, then it is obvious that A-Niang loves her face too much, so she will say it so exaggeratedly, and it will not be a gift of a national scholar.
Li Xian's expression was in Wu Cao's eyes. Wu Cao couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seemed that she seemed to be self-defeating, once she died, Ah Yuan Ke would be in big trouble......
That's fine. Wu Cao still looked like he was watching a good show, his eyes turned on the five brothers, and he appointed Li Longji to guide Xiao Jiangyuan in the technique of bowing. Li Longji gladly accepted. Even if Wu Cao didn't say it, he would do it. It's good for now, not only to line up the other four brothers, but he also has a reason that he can't refuse.
At this time, Li Longye stood up and said: "Grandmother, the third brother's polo is indeed the best, but when it comes to riding, his grandson is second to none. This bow, riding is the fundamental, Gorou please Ying, in the shortest possible time, Xiao Nei Shi will be better than the cavalry! ”
Li Longye really didn't want to stay alone in the Fragrance Palace, so he made a long belly draft, and when Li Xian asked, he was flooded. As a result, when he and Li Longji returned to Xishangyang Palace, Li Xian and the others had already arrived at the polo field. He and Li Longji went directly back to the front yard of the Guanfeng Hall to wait, and then entered the hall with Li Xian and the others. From beginning to end, Li Xian ignored him at all, but put most of his attention on Xiao Jiangyuan.
What is there to see about Xiao Jiangyuan, and he still looks at it so disapprovingly? Li Longye really admires those people who obviously look at the other party but they are not even pleasing to the eye, and they can still smile at them.
Li Dan frowned and reprimanded: "It's so unruly! ”
Li Xian stopped with a smile: "Wulang is so frank and confident, which is the demeanor of my Tang Dynasty boy." A-Niang promised him, I want to see if he has the ability. ”
"Then I'll listen to Shichiro." Wu Cao bowed his head, "Speaking of which, there are already seven people in my team, and there is no one in the Qilang team." ”
"How could there have been no one?" Li Xiandao, "There are three sons, all of whom can play, plus the two horses of Changning and An Le, there are five." Taiping still has four sons, and there is the last candidate left, so let's search for it casually in A-Niang's mother's house, isn't there any? I think the Erlang of the late Wei Wang's family is good. ”
Therefore, the king of Wei refers to Wu Cao's nephew Wu Chenghei, who was the head of the martial arts family in his early years, and later because Li Xian returned to the East Palace, he knew that the position was hopeless, and he died of depression. The second man of his family is named Wu Yanxiu, who was once married to the Turks, but because he was not of the blood of the Li Tang royal family, he was angry and retreated from the Turks. This Wu Yanxiu is just a little different, he looks so soft and beautiful that even women can hardly match, and his style is even more like a Wei and Jin man, but he plays polo well, and no matter where he is, he can afford the word "show".
The atmosphere was suddenly a little delicate. Princess Changning's concubine Yang Shenjiao is just a matter of friendship, Hongnong Yang's family, a famous family, and the Li Tang royal family and the Wu family are all generations of marriages, which can be regarded as neutral, but Princess Anle's concubine Wu Chongxun is a member of the Wu family, and he is the second son of Wu Sansi. And Princess Taiping's four sons also have two surnames Wu. In this way, there are only ten places, and the Wu family alone accounts for four.
After experiencing so many things, Li Wu can still become a family, which shows that the trend of power, the direction of profit, and the intertwined roots, no one can compete. Xiao Jiangyuan smiled indifferently and politely, tasted it carefully, glanced at Shangguan Wan'er opposite, and suddenly found that he was still very similar to her in one thing - he also liked power, and he also wanted to hold it tightly in his hand.
The difference is that she is for herself, but he is for the old woman on the couch, and she is in full swing, but he is still unable to do anything, which is really ridiculous and nonsense.
In the evening, everyone had dinner in the Guanfeng Palace, Li Dan went to the Fragrance Hall with the five brothers of Li Chengqi, and Shangguan Wan'er waited outside the hall with Xiao Jiangyuan, just like the night of the Shenlong coup, leaving only Wu Cao and Li Xian in the Guanfeng Palace. Everyone tacitly kept silent.
Li Xian only stayed for less than a moment, and then walked out, his expression leaping and happy.
Xiao Jiangyuan knew what Li Xian had been bored with recently, the martial arts family and the heroes were on the same page, and they did have a blood feud with the Li Tang royal family, what the heroes said was reasonable, how could the martial arts still be in this high position and share the court with the clan courtiers? Li Xian naturally won't accept all the advice, but the people's aspirations still need to be considered, at least he should make a gesture and lower the title of Zhuwu, so come to Your Majesty to give an explanation first. According to His Majesty's character, he should have given an explanation without waiting for Li Xian to speak.
Li seemed to have reached what he wanted, so he didn't stay any longer. Before leaving, Shangguan Wan'er glanced back at Xiao Jiangyuan, and saw that he left quickly without any nostalgia, going farther and farther away from herself, her eyes were slightly sunken, as if she was a little unwilling, but she was hidden in a gentle smile in an instant.
Xiao Jiangyuan was completely unaware. He finally waited until Li Xian left, only returned to Shangyang Palace, turned to a no-man's place next to the Guanfeng Palace, and grabbed the peony in his hair casually. He teared off the petals one by one with an expressionless face and threw them on the ground, still feeling that it was not enough, and when the peonies were all scattered into mud, he immediately stretched out his feet and crushed the red into the dust without mercy.
Suddenly, he heard a "fluttering" laugh not far away, and Xiao Jiangyuan's feet suddenly stiffened. His face did not change, he stood calmly with his back straight, his feet folded, and he looked sideways. The light was faint, fortunately the moonlight illuminated the visitor, he looked fixedly, without saying a word, and finally made the other party feel a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "The fragrance is innocent, why bother destroying the flowers?" ”
Listening to this clear voice, Xiao Jiangyuan only felt that his cheeks were slightly hot, his little temper, except for Wu Cao, even Shangguan Wan'er had never seen it, but now he was caught by a merry man. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Why doesn't King Linzi accompany King Xiang in the Fragrance Hall at this time?" ”
"Aya has them by her side, and she has never needed me." Li Longji smiled lightly, and his tone was extremely relaxed. Since he was seven years old, he couldn't say anything in front of Li Dan. Li Dan will always ignore him, and I don't know if it is unintentional or deliberate.
Xiao Jiangyuan was very sensitive to a bit of deep meaning. He looked at Li Longji quietly for a while, and smiled as usual: "Father and son, flesh and blood, blood is thicker than water, if the word 'use' is used, the king is inevitably a little disrespectful and unfilial." ”
"Then Ah Yuan, a father often forgets that he originally had a son, and when he thinks about it, there must be something, what word should he say?"
"The king is extreme. The Son can only fear and be filial to the Father, and not hold grudges. ”
"I never blamed him, only myself." Li Longji lowered his eyes and smiled, and shook his head helplessly, "If it wasn't for the impulse back then, how could you end up in such a field?" It's a shame that someone as stupid as you would still appreciate me at that time. What do you admire, how a fool can do something stupid? You have a pity for me. ”
I don't know why, seeing Li Longji like this, hearing him say such things briskly, Xiao Jiangyuan actually felt a little stuffy in his chest, but he couldn't say a word of comfort, and after thinking about it, he said: "The king is obviously proud in his heart, after all, he will still be Li Tang in the world in the future, if this matter is mentioned, it will only be appreciated." Taizong's blood, Tianjia's bones, nothing more than that. ”
Li Longji never thought that he was half-true and half-false, and he behaved so pitifully, and Xiao Jiangyuan actually replied like this. He finished talking for a long time, finally chuckled and sighed, and said in a low voice: "You say...... Does Aya blame me? ”
