【Chapter 26: The Empress Jiuding Builds Longji】(2)
Shangguan Wan'er had been drinking boredly, as if everything around her was none of her business. She didn't care about the victory or defeat on the field, whether it was sighing or cheering, she seemed very quiet and lonely. But she was at ease, because she wasn't the only one here.
In fact, before Li Longye shouted angrily, a figure had already rushed out of the corner and reached the front of the banquet. She straightened her back and looked at the field steadily, the smile on her face disappeared, only the eyes were burning, and there seemed to be worry in the depth.
Shangguan Wan'er even noticed Xiao Jiangyuan. She thought to herself that Xiao Jiangyuan and Li Longji's past interactions were not perfunctory, and the relationship between them was really good, but when she saw the great victory of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji held the moon staff high and smiled loudly, but Xiao Jiangyuan turned her head and ran, she tasted a little long meaning - the person Xiao Jiangyuan has been hiding from today turned out to be Li Sanlang?
Xiao Jiangyuan walked all the way to a secluded and uninhabited place before stopping.
She caressed her chest, little by little, and finally pressed down the ups and downs, and her heartbeat gradually returned to normal.
Just now in front of the Lin De Palace, she saw Li Longji fall off the horse, only to feel that her heart seemed to be torn apart by something, not as painful as when Wu Cao died, but much more tragic. And when she saw him return to the horse, he was all unrestrained, and remained calm in the face of the cheers of the crowd and the countless handkerchiefs, fan pendants, purses, etc., which were thrown at him, as if he was born to be so high-profile.
He enjoyed it so much that he seemed to be used to it.
She was also stunned at the time. Since she knew him, she had never seen him so high-spirited. Needless to say, he has always been obscure, and his ability to pretend is more powerful than hers, no matter what he laughs or says, she can always feel his restraint and suppression. And on this day, she finally saw a little bit of his anger against Wu Yizong back then.
She was pleased for him, but at the same time, her eyes were sure - when he held the moon scepter high and looked up and smiled at everyone, he actually looked a little bit like a king in the world.
Linzi Wang, Li Longji, Li Sanlang...... The great-grandson of Emperor Taizong, the grandson of Emperor Gaozong, and the grandson of Emperor Zetian.
She couldn't help but think of a song written by Wu Cao herself. At that time, Wu Cao had just ascended the throne for seven years, during which Jianming Hall and Zhongyue Feng Zen were not enough, and they had to recast Jiuding to show the world, and her Great Zhou Dynasty was peaceful and prosperous. This is one of the inscriptions on the nine tripods, Wu Cao attaches great importance to the nine tripods, so he wrote it himself.
Xi farmer is the first, and Xuan Hao is in the middle of the year. Tang Yu followed the heel, and Tang Yu took the time.
The world is light, and the sea is young. Shang Xuan descended to Jian, Fang Jianlongji.
She compared herself with the three emperors and five emperors and other ancient sages, and told the world that she ascended to the throne and was ordered by heaven, and under her rule, the world was able to live in the house, and the sea was able to Yongxi, which was her merit and God's merit.
The word Longji reused her grandson's name, and even Wu Cao himself didn't notice it, but now Xiao Jiangyuan found out. Although the meaning is different, since she has seen such a coincidence, she can't help but think about it, although she didn't believe in the so-called destiny before.
And today's Li Longji is not quite the same as two years ago. Although he is still living in depression, he dares to come out and accept the warm and attentive gaze of everyone, so that he can be noticed by others; Although his smile is still so clear and handsome, with a little talent and a bit of smoke, his eyes are much deeper than before. When he looked at Li Xian's position, the curl of his lips deepened, and the others didn't notice it, but Xiao Jiangyuan could see it clearly.
His heart began to burst with real ambition.
When Li Longji looked at herself, Xiao Jiangyuan wanted to bow to him upright, just like in the past, but as soon as she saw Li Longji's smile, she somehow her body was completely frozen and her brain was blank. The feeling she felt when she was fidgeting in the Lin De Hall not long ago surged over her whole body again, and by the time she reacted, she had already turned around and ran away.
Thinking back to everything she had seen about him before, four words popped up in her heart: it's him.
Now that the future is uncertain and the bad luck is uncertain, she just saw him showing his ambition, and she wants to follow him? She couldn't help but smile at herself, how could she get older, the more thoughtless she became, presumably because she was infected by him, which made her impulsive.
Thinking that he had just left too suddenly, Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't help but have a headache - if he saw him again in the future, how would he answer?
What she didn't expect was that the next time she saw her, Li Longji didn't ask about this at all.
This day is the day when Princess Jincheng came out. From today onwards, the princess of Jincheng of the Tang Dynasty will embark on the road of mountains and rivers, and go west to Tibet, and there will be no return date. As the biological father of Princess Jincheng, Li Shouli, the heir of Yong, stood beside Li Xian with slightly red eyes, and when his daughter looked back, he couldn't help but raise his hand and turn it out.
Let's go, let's go, that's your world. You and I, father and daughter, are all here.
The five brothers of Li Longji have always respected Li Shouli, the lobby brother, and coupled with Li Dan's entrustment, they have always stayed by Li Shouli's side on this day. It wasn't until the princess of Jincheng was sent away and the banquet was coming to an end that Li Shouli stroked his mustache and said with a smile: "You boys, hurry up and stay away from me, it's been sticky for a day, is it over?" ”
Li Longye didn't follow: "Then you ordered it earlier, and it was only at this time that you remembered to drive us away......
Li Chengqi smiled mildly and interrupted, "Goro." ”
Li Shouli raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Longye pursing his lips, he couldn't help laughing, turned his head and saw that Li Longji had been silently not speaking, and said: "There is something wrong with you today, you don't learn, you don't learn a lot, but you have learned a lot from Erlang." ”
Li Chengyi looked at Li Shouli very innocently, and just wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Chengqi's smile becoming more and more gentle, he held back.
Li Longji didn't know what he was looking at, but he didn't react, and when he looked back at Li Shouli, he was stunned for a while, which made Li Shouli cry and laugh: "You look a little like Shiro again." ”
Li Long's model was also glad that when he heard Li Shouli say this at this moment, he didn't care about the eldest brother anymore, and said directly: "Brother Hall, you are enough!" ”
Li Shouli's smile suddenly fell, and his brows were dyed with sorrow, and he was a little crying: "My good daughter, blessed in her previous life, was recognized under the name of a saint, and she is no longer my daughter...... She is clearly still a child in my eyes, and as a father, I can only watch her being sent away, and I can't do anything......"
"The princess married Tubo far away, which is to reconcile the Tang Dynasty and Tubo for many years, and she has made great contributions." Li Chengqi is gentle and authentic.
"Credits to the great...... Burst! As soon as Li Shouli wanted to speak, he was poured a sip of wine, which was immediately squirted out along with the last syllable.
Li Longji smiled and carried the wine jug, and said in surprise: "Brother Hall, there is something wrong with you today, the saint marries his daughter," his voice suddenly lowered, "What does it have to do with you?" ”
Li Shouli was honest at this time, and he was silent for a long time, and let out a sigh of relief.
"It's not early, you can say goodbye to the saint with me, and then go out of the palace and go home." Li Longji picked up Li Shouli as he spoke, and walked towards Li Xian.
Li Shouli couldn't help but look at his eyes a little wet, but as soon as he looked at Li Longji's gaze, his emotion disappeared in an instant - he had already heard Wulang say that San Lang fell in love with a eunuch, and the eunuch was not only the face of his grandmother before, but he almost became Princess Anle's male pet a few years ago, and then asked himself to Shouling, and let Princess Anle beat him half to death, but just a year later, they came back unharmed, and they have been living peacefully in the palace ever since!
Every time he thought of this experience, he felt that this Xiao Jiangyuan was by no means an ordinary talent, for fear that Li Longji would suffer, but now that he saw Li Longji's ease of playing, he couldn't help but feel a little stupid - his worries were probably superfluous.
At this moment, Xiao Jiangyuan was holding Li Bao'er, who was a little drunk, and stood upright beside Li Xian with some difficulty. Inadvertently, he turned his eyes and saw Li Longji walking towards Li Shouli with him, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and immediately lowered his eyes.
Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan like this, Li Longji couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, and then heard the man beside him snort lightly, looking unhappy. Li Longji has never been accustomed to his own lobby brother, what to do, sure enough, Li Shouli can't do anything other than the light hum just now-seeing that he is in front of Li Xian, he can't continue to pull his face.
Smiled and accepted the condolences of the Son of Heaven, Li Shouli was able to leave smoothly, and Li Longji, who accompanied him, could only retreat with him, but was stopped by Li Xian enthusiastically: "San Lang, sit next to me." ”
Li Bao'er was about to retreat, but when she saw Li Longji sitting down, she also squeezed to the other side of Li Xian. With her hands on her cheeks, the beauty was slightly drunk, and her eyes were like silk, and Li Longji sighed secretly in his heart, but his body was still sitting straight.
Xiao Jiangyuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, moved his somewhat sore arm without a trace, and stood up straight again. That small gesture fell in Li Longji's eyes, and it turned into an infinite gentle smile. At this time, Li Xian asked, "How do you play polo so well?" ”
Li Longji smiled: "If you lose a lot, you will naturally play well." He seems humble, but in fact he frankly admits that he did play well.
Li Xianyan laughed when he heard this: "You not only play polo well, but also speak well." ”
"What my nephew said is the truth, if it weren't for the fact that he lost too much, why did the saint know that his nephew's polo was playing well so far?"
"According to you, you are actually burdened by the fame of the past, so even if you are powerful now, few people know about it?" Li Bao'er suddenly smiled and said contemptuously, "But no one knows yet, and they recommend you bably, but my brother-in-law is too generous, this polo is played, he and King Yu have no credit, and any benefits are yours?" ”
