Li Longji didn't really let go because of this: "No wonder Yueniang was most worried about Eighteen Lang when she was alive, and I never thought that this child would be even more clumsy than you in terms of the relationship between men and women, and he didn't understand the amorous feelings." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan not only did not deny it, but also nodded matter-of-factly: "Fortunately, King Shou is affectionate and true, Princess Shou will understand sooner or later." ”

"I don't think so." Li Longji recalled, "When they got married, Yueniang said that they were a good match, but they didn't know that if they moved, they were very likely to have incompatible personalities and become resentful couples. Eighteen Lang loves Princess Shou, I know when I listen to him, but Princess Shou is ...... to Eighteen Lang Not necessarily. ”

"Although everyone has met with Princess Shou many times, the official meeting was only on the night of Shangyuan, but everyone seems to know Princess Shou very well."

"Can't you see through a person who is like a blank piece of paper?" Li Longji was about to laugh at her, but suddenly realized something, "Could you be...... Jealous, right? ”

At this time, the night had sunk, and the living room and the Zhongshu people were all driven away by Li Longji, or resting or on duty, and the palace people and eunuchs were also waiting outside the palace, and there were only Li Longji and Xiao Jiangyuan in the palace.

Xiao Jiangyuan was sitting next to Li Longji, sorting out the notes he had processed one by one and putting them on the tray at the foot of the imperial case. Hearing Li Longji's question, her movements paused slightly, and she didn't answer anything. Just as she was about to get up and pick up the tray, she felt a warmth on her body.

Li Longji gently hugged her behind her back, resting his head on her shoulder, tired and relaxed, and sighed: "Is it difficult to admit it once?" ”

"How can the minister admit that there is nothing?"

"Ah Yuan...... You always make me feel so tired. ”

"Everyone has left the matter of electing officials to Li Xianggong, and he has a lot of leisure, will he be tired?"

"Are you supposed to ...... Is it to eat Li Shilang's vinegar? Li Longji laughed sullenly.

"The minister is talking to everyone." Xiao Jiangyuan wanted Li Longji to let go and get up first, but his hand was tightly imprisoned in front of her like iron pincers, so she had to sigh lightly and said, "Do you know that Li Xianggong plans to select hundreds of officials according to seniority this time?" ”

"Yes."

"Didn't he oppose seniority in the past, but now he ...... it?"

"That was in the past, and now it's different, or he's in a different position. When he was in the middle level, he naturally didn't want to let his seniority block his way up, but now that he is not in the hot position, how can he allow younger and better talents to rush ahead of him? ”

"Everyone knows it......"

"Because he is not the same as the previous prime minister, he can really make me bow down. Do you remember when I told you that Datang's original goal was to achieve the grandeur of the previous five years? ”

"Of course I do."

"Not only did I achieve, but I surpassed it, and I did what generations of emperors had not been able to do. If you look at the rapidly growing population over the years, and then look at the current price of food, I heard that the children who make soy sauce in the market outside the palace can write poems, and all countries in the Quartet also respect the Tang Dynasty, and the border has won many battles. I'm satisfied, content, and I think it's time to rest and enjoy myself. ”

After a pause, Li Longji raised his lips and smiled: "I can't do too well, one is overflowing, and the other is ...... I'm going to leave something for the prince too, right? I've been working hard for most of my life, and only Li Shilang feels sorry for me, even you, have never said to let me rest. ”

After a silence, Xiao Jiangyuan's tone softened: "If everyone is tired, just rely on the ministers to rest for a while, but once you are the Son of Heaven, you will be the Son of Heaven for the rest of your life, it is easy to delegate power and difficult to receive power, aren't you most worried about the power of the emperor above the imperial power?" ”

"You say Li Shilang? He didn't dare. Li Longji raised his eyebrows and smiled, "As long as he can stabilize the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty and meet my needs, I don't mind if he plays some tricks and excludes dissidents, as long as he is at ease." ”

Hearing what Li Longji said with confidence, Xiao Jiangyuan suddenly said: "Everyone has a way to deal with it in their hearts? ”

"Guess what?"

“…… Prince? ”

Li Longji smiled with satisfaction: "You say, did my grandfather and grandmother talk about state affairs like this night?" It's also a different kind of fairy couple. ”

He was trying to please her, but he didn't want her to think about it seriously, and then said:

“…… It could also be that they are suspicious of each other while working together. ”

"You're always so upset......"

As soon as Xiao Jiangyuan was about to refute, his brain suddenly went blank-

"Big, everybody......"

"What do you call me?"

“…… Saburo. ”

"Saburo...... This is not appropriate......" Xiao Jiangyuan's suppressed voice sounded in Li Longji's ears.

"Then you say, where is the right fit?"

Li Longji's voice became deeper and deeper: "Since you were a teenager, you have survived in constraints, and after so many years, it is inevitable that others will be proud and indulgent when they ascend to high positions, but you have always been consistent...... Ah Yuan, you can't stop thinking so much, don't care so much^"

Li Longji's heart also softened. He always felt that she had finally changed something about him, as if she was becoming more and more dependent, and a little more tender like water, not at all as if she had been separated before, sometimes so straightforward that his thick skin could be reddened, and sometimes cold and alienated as if she had never been emotional.

He carefully kissed her forehead, and then carried Xiao Jiangyuan back to Nanxun Hall in front of all the palace people and eunuchs outside the palace gate.

He didn't give any explanation, but he didn't let gossip turn into gossip either. He ordered everyone not to talk nonsense, but he didn't know if he was really worried about doing so, or if there was no silver here.

In the twenty-seventh year of Kaiyuan, on the seventh day of the second month, hundreds of officials played, respecting Li Longji as "Kaiyuan Shengwen Shenwu Emperor". After receiving the gift, Li Longji granted amnesty to the world, exempted the people from paying taxes for one year, and at the same time gave knighthood and rank to the officials of the third and fourth grades, and gave a banquet for three days, and Chang'an was jubilant.

This time, the election of officials was in full swing in this atmosphere.

Thinking about it, he always felt uneasy, so Xiao Jiangyuan took advantage of the time when he sent Li Linfu to the government affairs building, and seemed to mention it in passing: "The saint values the minister, trusts the minister, and hopes that the minister will not let down the saint - when the time comes, Xiao will not protect you." ”

How could Li Linfu not hear Xiao Jiangyuan's words? He also knew that if she could say this to him, it must have been from the saint and did not receive a satisfactory answer. Since the saints were so lenient to him, there was really no need for him to let go of such a good opportunity, so he smiled silently.

Seeing that Li Linfu was so vague, Xiao Jiangyuan knew Li Linfu's attitude. After a meeting, the two seemed to be friends rather than enemies, Xiao Jiangyuan also hoped that Li Linfu could sit in the phase for a while, so that her family Ah Lang could have a more satisfactory life, and was just about to speak, but heard Li Linfu say in a low voice:

"General Xiao, isn't it that he has been too nourishing recently, and he is sluggish, and he doesn't know if he can't protect himself, and he can still take care of his brother and slave?"

Xiao Jiangyuan smiled lightly, but his gaze was certain, and he looked at the smiling fox beside him.

Li Linfu looked light-hearted, and when the people from the nearby eunuch palace saw it, they thought that he and Xiao Jiangyuan were talking and laughing.

"If General Xiao is free, remember to go and see the doctor. He didn't know anything, and he didn't say anything. ”

Staring at the back of Li Linfu's departure, Xiao Jiangyuan's heart sank.

Could it be that she has revealed some flaws recently that Li Linfu has discovered?

As a man and a eunuch, it is already her habit, and she can do it without flaws. If there is any change between her and the past recently, which makes her not very accustomed to it, and thus reveals something, it is only the relationship between her and Li Longji.

A cautious person like Li Linfu, even if he sees something, he will not think about it in a place that is too unbelievable, let alone insist on it without evidence. There is only one reason why he can say this conclusively today - he has verified it.

He couldn't see Lu Yunniang, he didn't know that King Ning knew about it, and he wouldn't look for her to verify it in person, so there was only one person left.

Xiao Jiangyuan turned his eyes and glanced into the hall.

Li Linfu was able to remind her against his will, indicating that he wanted her to remain the same, and at the same time be grateful and merciful, but it was also possible to divert her attention, so as not to interfere in his election of officials, or perhaps...... Both.

That night, Xiao Jiangyuan went back to Yishanfang, and did not return to Xingqing Palace until dusk the next day.
