Three or five years seems to be a long time, but the 'flowers' bloom and 'flowers' thanks, the sun rises and sets, time passes every day, every moment, and the speed is neither faster because of people's expectations, nor slowed down because of the nostalgia of the world.

Li Yu walked forward with one foot deep and one shallow foot in the 'jade' rice field, and in front of him was dense green leaves, which looked smooth, but there was an astringent feeling on the edges and leaf surface, and when it swept over the skin on his face and hands, it seemed to be rubbed by rough hemp paper, which did not hurt, but it was itchy and uncomfortable. The red 'colored' brocade robe on his body was scratched by the leaves from time to time, which made people feel upset.

However, Li Yu finally saw the person he was looking for.

"Uncle Emperor—"

The Shu millet on the ground in front of him grew sparsely, and a small area was vacant in the middle, and Li Xin'an sat there quietly, as if he was not the one who ran away as soon as he entered this 'jade' rice field just now.

"I just called you, and you didn't stop."

Li Yu complained quietly and walked over to him.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and when he raised his hand to look, there were a few thin scratches on the back of his hand, as if they were stained with the red silk thread that his mother had embroidered with 'flowers'.

The two of them are not twenty years old combined, and Li Xin has never been very disciplined, Li Yu rubbed the back of his hand, letting the itchy feeling spread: "What did you run just now?" ”

"It's fine."

After running for a while, people are tired, and the depression in their hearts seems to have been released. Li Xin looked up, the sky was blue and clear, and the clouds were like stacked white yarns, blown by the wind and moving slowly. In the field of vision, there are slender stalks of 'jade' rice, and the narrow leaves and 'flowers' are densely grown, and it is a posture of growing freely and upward.

"No wonder they all call this kind of crop land a green yarn tent, and it really looks like a tent."

The wind blew, and the leaves rattled in one piece.

"They must be out there looking for us in circles."

"Find it."

Li Yu chased after him just now, and only found him after looking for a long time, the weather was hot, and he already felt thirsty. He turned around and grabbed the stalk of a 'jade' rice tree behind him, trying to break it, but his strength was not enough, and the roots of the 'jade' rice were deeply rooted, and he didn't succeed in breaking it a few times. Behind him, Li Xin pulled out the short dagger on his waist, twisted the stalk, and cut it off in one fell swoop.

Li Yu smiled at him, tore off the leaves on the top, and peeled off a layer of skin on the outside like peeling a sugar cane, 'exposed' the tender straw inside, handed it to Li Xin first, peeled it off again, and took a big bite.

The millet is still green, and there is sweet juice when the stem is bitten, with a green, indescribable taste, which makes people like it very much.

Li Xin looked at the 'Ting' incense he gnawed, looked at the piece in his hand, and also took a bite.

"This is not as sweet as sugarcane, my mother said that this state is called 'jade' rice, but it is like our Shu millet here." Li Yu smiled and spit out the chewed scum aside, no one was watching here, so there was no need to pay attention to the manners of the world.

"It's thirst-quenching, and it's sweet." Li Xin also gnawed heavily and spit out scum loudly: "How do you know that this can be eaten?" ”

"My mother said it, and she even had someone fold it for me to taste, so I know."

"Oh." Li Xin was not surprised. His sister-in-law just knows much more than other people's 'women'.

"By the way, show me your knife."

Li Xin unsheathed the short dagger and handed it to him.

The sheath was silvery-white and set with precious stones, and the sun shone brightly overhead.

He pulled out some of the short dagger, and a cold light flashed on the blade, which made Li Yu a little frightened and a little envious.

"It's so pretty." What's more, this is a real guy, not a wooden knife and wooden sword that his master and his father usually let him use.

"Well, I'll give it to you."

"Really?" Li Yu's eyes lit up, and he shook his head again: "No...... Even if it was given to me, my father and mother would definitely not let me use it, and took it away from me. ”

He returned the dagger to Li Xin: "By the way, look at your appearance, who made you angry?" ”

"Nope." Li Xin lowered his head.

Li Yu didn't quite understand. Although he is smart, he is still young after all. In his cognition, the emperor is the greatest, and everyone has to listen to the emperor's uncle, even his own father.

But the emperor always seemed to be not very happy.

When he came to the palace to escape the summer, wash the mountain springs, eat wild game, ride horses, and climb the mountains, Li Yu was very happy, but the emperor's uncle was always ...... Well, the brow has been furrowed. Today I arrived at this 'jade' rice field planted on the Zhuangzi. Li Xin said that no one should care, and ran in with his feet.

Others didn't dare to ask, maybe they didn't have the opportunity to ask, Li Yu didn't have so many concerns.

"It's fine."

Is that look like it's okay?

Li Yu didn't believe it at all.

But what could be the Emperor's troubles? If others are disobedient, the emperor can beat them.

Is there something that the emperor can't do, someone who can't clean up?

Li Xin looked at him, Li Yu's little face already had Li Gu's delicate outline, but there was still a 'fat' and tender baby 'fat', and there was still a little straw scum on the corner of his mouth.

He has the deepest secrets buried in his heart, and he can't tell anyone.

Even if it's Li Yu, this partner who chased him and called him the emperor's uncle.

said that he was an uncle and nephew, but he was not a few years old, just like a younger brother.

He didn't quite remember when, and he asked his brother, King Cheng Li Gu, why he looked so tired at that time.

What did Li Gu say?

He seems to say that everyone walks on the road, some people know where their path is, and some people don't. Some people keep dropping things while walking, but some people keep picking up things, picking up too many things and carrying them on their backs, too deep, and they don't know where the road is, but they have to keep walking forward day by day, so how can they not be tired?

He was so impressed by these words that he didn't understand what they meant.

Right now...... He seemed to understand.

What he keeps carrying is responsibility.

What he can't leave behind is the past.

With so many things in your heart and nowhere to vent, how can you not be tired?

The peeled leaves of the 'jade' millet fell at his feet, and an ant crawled from nowhere, and a small black dot slowly moved forward on a turquoise leaf.

Although it climbed slowly, it was in one direction, without hesitation or pause, and Li Xin saw it climb farther and farther away, disappearing from the edge of the leaf.

The sky above his head was blue and dizzy, the leaves of the 'jade' Shu millet were blown by the wind, and the sound of footsteps that was still far away just now was getting closer and closer, Li Yu stuck out his tongue and whispered: "They want to find us." ”

I'm not afraid, but I'm a little embarrassed after all.

Li Yu thought that he was no longer a child, but after escaping for a while, he was about to be caught, and he was inevitably a little embarrassed.

But listening to the sound of the leaves rattling, those who were looking for them brushed past them from one side to the other, but went in the other direction.

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Li Xin say softly, "Brother Wang said that he was leaving." ”

"It's not like I'm leaving now." Li Yu comforted him: "I listened to what my father said, and we won't leave until you get married." ”

Ninety-Seven Solving 'Confusion' III

At the mention of the word wedding, a look of coyness flashed on Li Xin's face. Even if he is an emperor, when he mentions the matter of getting married, he will be nervous, embarrassed, and suffer from gains and losses just like ordinary teenagers.

After the wedding, he will be in power, King Cheng Li Gu has resigned from the title of regent, because Mrs. Cheng Wang injured her body when giving birth to her second child, after his marriage, Li Gu's family will move to their fiefdom You'an County to live, where the palace has also been repaired, the southern weather is hot and pleasant for recuperation, even if Li Xin is reluctant, he can't help but let them go. When Ah Fu came into the palace, he said with a smile: "When the body is well, we have to move back to the capital, our hometown is here, and our relatives are also here, why don't we come back?" ”

But Li Xin is stubborn and trusts his instincts.

He felt that after his brother's family moved away, the mountains and rivers were long, and there was no time to see each other.

Even if he is unwilling, it will be another winter when 'spring' goes to autumn, and the wedding day is set in the first month.

The closer the wedding day became, the greater the temper of the little emperor.

Li Yu scratched his ears and scratched his ribs, thinking that he had guessed the emperor's little uncle's heart.

"Miss Zhang's appearance is very good, I asked my mother, and my mother said that she is beautiful and has a good 'sex'."

Li Xin's face flushed suspiciously, he clutched a book tightly in his hand, and said sternly: "Marrying a wife and marrying virtue is ...... Physiognomy is not that important. ”

Li Yuxin thought it was true and praised it sincerely: "The emperor is the emperor!" ”

Li Xin's face turned even redder, and he didn't know if there was any weakness in it.

Young people are so 'lustful' and Mu Shaoai, how can they not have expectations for the appearance of their future wives? He had seen the portraits, and he had heard his sister-in-law and sister talk about them, but he had not seen them himself.

- If you see the people standing in the pavilion from a distance across half of the 'flower' garden, then you have seen it once. At that time, their family affairs were still settled, far away, there were several people in the pavilion, and he only saw a head of black hair, and nothing else.

At his age, getting married is considered early. It's just that he's not in a hurry, there are a bunch of people who are in a hurry, there is no owner in the harem, and there is no queen mother on top, which girl has become the queen, then ...... Many people with school-age 'daughters' have their mouths crooked when they have a sweet dream.

What they think about is beauty, but it is a big event after the emperor is established, and the 'fine' is carefully selected, and in the end, Miss Zhang's family will stand out after passing five levels and six levels.

Li Xin took a sip of tea and calmed down, and asked Li Yu: "Where did you come from?" ”

Li Yu's little face was blown red by the wind: "Coming from Fengxi Pavilion, my mother and sister are at the third aunt's." He lowered his voice and said, "We met Master Gao at the 'gate' of Fengxi Pavilion. ”

Gao Yingjie taught Li Xin and Li Yu kung fu, and both of them usually called their masters. The people who are close to him and Li Xin know that although Li Yu doesn't understand the feelings of men and women, he once heard Ah Fu and Li Gu talk about it. Adults always think that children can't understand a lot of words, and they don't have so scruples when they speak.

"You say, the master has good kung fu and a good temper, what's wrong with the third aunt if she marries him? Why didn't she get married? ”

Li Xin said angrily: "You don't understand. ”

"You get it?"

"Of course I do." Li Xin is quite proud of being a teacher: "In the previous dynasty and the current dynasty, there were concubines plotting to make 'chaos', so those who married the princess and became concubines could not be officials, and they could only live in Chengenfang, and they couldn't even get out of the 'gate' of the capital." If the third sister marries the master, the master will no longer be able to teach us kung fu, and he will no longer be able to command the Praetorian Guards, so he can only eat, sleep, eat, and sleep every day, and 'mix' until he dies. The third sister said that she didn't want his ambition to be disappointed, so she refused to agree, and persuaded the master to marry another wife. ”

Li Yu seems to understand a little, but Li Xin said plainly, if the master marries the third aunt, he can no longer be the master with the uncle of the little emperor recently, then this matter is really bad.

"Alas, but the master didn't marry anyone else."

"yes."

Things have been so stiff, and they have dragged on for several years, and Li Xindu wants to make a decree and change the harsh rules and regulations for the horses. But every time he came to this time, he remembered that year...... The winter of my father's death. He heard that his father was killed by someone, and the person who attacked him was probably Xiao Yuan, the third sister's previous concubine.

The rules set by the ancestors made sense, the father was tolerant of Xiao Yuan, and at that time, it was a time of 'chaos', Xiao Yuan also held an official position after becoming a concubine, although it was only in charge of the affairs of the inner government, but in the end, it was ......

Li Yu sighed decently: "If only the third aunt wasn't a princess, then she married the master, and the master could still teach us martial arts and the art of war......"

He raised his head, Li Xin was in a daze, the tea bowl in his hand was already crooked, and he saw that the tea was about to flow to his body.

"Huh? What do you want? ”

Li Xin came back to his senses, and he smiled.

"You're right, there's another way to do this, we've all gotten into the horns before."

"What's the matter?"

"As long as the third sister is not a princess, then the master will not be a colt if she marries her!"

Li Yu was a little confused, his black grape-like eyes were full of questions, and his long eyelashes flickered: "But the third aunt is obviously a princess." ”

Li Xin grinned: "This is not inflexible, the solution is what people think." ”

It is not without such precedents in the previous dynasties. Because a princess died of illness before the birth of a month, the emperor felt that the child would not be able to survive without the care of his mother, and on the other hand, the emperor's uncle Pingchang Marquis's young son who was not yet one year old died young, and in order to comfort the uncle's pain of losing his son, the emperor passed this 'daughter' to his uncle to raise. After a few years of growing up, he also married this real princess to a family of eunuchs according to the specifications of marrying a "woman" in the Hou 'door', and the son who married the princess was not called a concubine, and then didn't he also become an official?

Hey, it's long overdue! As long as the third sister doesn't have the title of this princess, won't it be okay to marry the master again?

As soon as Li Xin said this, Li Yu was also happy, but he was embarrassed again without laughing a few times: "But, does the third aunt agree by herself?" She, she's a princess, if she doesn't become a princess, what will she do? ”

Li Xin was stunned, and his excitement subsided a little.

Yes, I haven't asked Li Xin herself what she means. And Li Xin is not a newborn little 'girl' child, if she wants to arrange her identity reasonably, and then fulfill her and Gao Yingjie's good deeds, it really takes a lot of thought.

In fact, Li Yu also met the fifth princess Li Zhi. But unlike Li Xin, this aunt Li Yu doesn't like it at all, the fragrance on her body is so uncomfortable that people's nose and throat are uncomfortable, and she doesn't like to speak, Li Yu knows that her mother doesn't like her either, and Li Yu is going to walk around when she sees her.

The family affairs of the five princesses are also delayed again and again, but there is a third princess in front of whom still lives in the palace, so it is not too eye-catching for the five princesses to be old and unmarried.

Li Xin called someone in and asked, "Where did Liu Zhengguan go?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Liu Zhengguan went to the inner mansion, and when he left, he ordered that he would be able to come back in a moment."

Li Xin nodded: "He came back and asked him to come to see me immediately." ”

Ninety-Eight Happy Events One

Liu Run patiently listened to the two of them's thoughtful ideas that they thought were particularly clever, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, the prince, sit down and say, don't worry." ”

Li Yu blinked, Li Xin was a little embarrassed, 'touched' and 'touched' his nose and sat down, and pulled Li Yu to sit down as well.

In front of Liu Run, his growing imperial power seemed to be completely unplayable.

"This is a good way...... Liu Run paused: "Mrs. Cheng Wang proposed it once three years ago. ”

"Mother also thought of it?"

"So, did my sister-in-law tell the third sister? She doesn't agree? ”

Liu Run shook his head.

The two confident little men were suddenly deflated.

"She doesn't want to?"

Liu Run just smiled.

Li Xin didn't ask anymore, uncle and nephew, you look at me and I look at you, it's difficult for brothers and brothers to get together, and then think of other ideas.

Liu Run entered the tea room, and the little apprentice Luo Xiaoquan he brought brought a basin of water, lukewarm, and held it with a face towel and pancreas, Liu Run picked up a handful of water, his fingers were thin and white.

There was a lot of blood on his hands, but he didn't regret it at all.

From the day he made the decision to enter the palace, he didn't give himself a chance to regret it.

Prince Ye finally didn't survive this winter, no matter how clever the medical officer's medical skills were, and how expensive and effective the 'medicine' materials he used, he couldn't stand his own lack of desire to survive, and dragged on day by day.

Liu Run wrung out the face towel and rubbed his cheeks vigorously, making his face bloody.

This winter was particularly cold, but there was only one snowfall.

The old ones are gone, the new ones are coming again, and there will never be real peace in the high palace walls.

He glanced out, Luo Xiaoquan held the tea to him, and whispered, "The fifth princess came just now, asking to see the emperor." ”

"What did you say?"

Luo Xiaoquan glanced out, leaned into Liu Run's ear and whispered two words.

Li Xin teased Li Gu and Ah Fu's 'daughter', the little county lord Li Rou had just left, wearing a red satin jacket, lined with a face like a March peach 'flower', big eyes and a small mouth, she was really a beauty. Ah Fu smiled and said, "They all say that she was born well." ”

"Yes, I also heard from the palace people of the age that they were born like Queen Wei back then."

Ah Fu has never seen Queen Wei, but the facial features of his 'daughter' are beautiful and lovely, even now she still has a round face like a small ball, and her cheeks are chubby, and she can already see that she will definitely be a beauty not inferior to Li Xin in the future. Queen Wei of that year must have been a peerless figure.

Hailan came in from outside, she had always been calm, but her expression was a little anxious at this time, and she saluted, but she stopped talking.

"What's wrong?"

Hailan said cautiously: "The fifth princess went to the Taiping Hall just now. ”

Li Xin lazily put the tea aside: "What does she want to do?" ”

Li Zhi is always full of anger and can't settle down honestly. Li Xin used to have a 'spirit' god in charge of her affairs, but now she doesn't bother to mention it at all.

Hailan was very embarrassed, but she couldn't hide it.

"The fifth princess said to the emperor that she had chosen a concubine ......"

This matter is not new, the marriage of the five princesses has become a headache for everyone, and Li Jianfang was once provoked by her, saying that he would send her to Jingciguan.

Zhi'an shared a lot of this luggage, and He Meiren pleaded and persuaded her, and at that time Ah Fu thought that she had grown up and was sensible. But it didn't take long to stop, and it still reverted.

Seeing that Ah Fu and Li Xin didn't have any surprised looks, Hailan calmed down and threw out the second half of the sentence: "The fifth princess said that she wants to marry Master Gao." ”

"What?" Ah Fu blurted out: "No. ”

She turned her head to look at Li Xin, who had no expression on her face.

She was calm, so calm.

Gao Yingjie's affection for her is known to these people close to her. But Li Xin has never said anything to him in the past few years, and it seems that she has really stopped her heart.

"This is what the fifth princess means? What about Master Gao? What does he mean?"

"Master Gao...... I'm afraid I don't know about it yet. Hailan also peeked at Li Xin's expression, but she couldn't find any clues, she couldn't tell whether she was shocked or angry, and she couldn't guess what she was thinking.

Ah Fu's first reaction when he heard the news was that Li Zhi had taken the wrong 'medicine'. Then she thought that Li Zhi had to compare with Li Xin in everything, the first emperor competed for favor when he was in the past, and Li Xin had a rich dowry and a fiefdom when she got married, which made Li Zhi even more sick - I am afraid that there is also a credit to Xiao Yuan, the previous concubine. It's not that Li Zhi doesn't want to get married, but it's not a top-notch talent that she doesn't look down on, and the person she likes is definitely unwilling to give in.

Now she suddenly proposes to marry Gao Yingjie, is she simply fancy his talent?

Or, do you still have to get along with Li Xin?

"Master, do you see this......" Hailan asked softly, "Do you want to talk to the emperor?" ”

"What is there to say?" Li Xin turned her head to the side: "She wants to marry, let her marry." ”

"You can't say that." Hailan has been following Li Xin for a long time, and she is not restrained when she speaks, and Ah Fu is by no means an outsider: "The temper of the fifth princess, even her own mother can't stand her like that, and there are three hundred days a year to call herself sick and not see anyone." Such an aunt'' and 'milk', whoever marries back is unlucky, Master Gao is 'quite a good person', how can he be allowed to jump into this fire pit? ”

Comparing the five princesses to a fire pit, Hailan is bold enough. If she hadn't been in a hurry, she would never have said such a thing.

He refused to jump, he could tell the emperor by himself, anyway, from the previous dynasty to the current dynasty, it was not once or twice that the princess could not give out the marriage. People always say that the emperor's 'daughter' is not worried about getting married, but the emperor's 'daughter' is worried about marrying. ”

She was still in the mood to make fun of it, but Ah Fu felt that the more she acted like she didn't care about herself, the less likely she was to be at peace.

Hyland was about to say more, and Ah Fu shook his head at her slightly.

Hyland held back the following words and stepped aside.

When Ah Fu came out of the 'door', Hailan followed from behind, holding a newly made cloak: "Madam, wrap this up for the little county lord, it's windy again." ”

Ah Fu knew that her sending the cloak was secondary, mainly for what happened just now.

"You...... It is said that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry. You are not in a hurry for the princess, the girl is in a hurry. She can't get over the hurdle in her heart herself, and you say a thousand things and ten thousand are in vain. ”

Hailan was at a loss: "What should I do then?" If Master Gao really agrees to the family affair, then, then ......"

"You see you're in a hurry. The fifth princess just said this to the emperor, and the emperor didn't make an order, and Master Gao definitely wouldn't agree - it's just that this matter can't always be delayed, Cardamom is dragged into a big girl, and if she drags it out, she will become an old girl. This has to be settled...... Perhaps, this event is still an opportunity to break the deadlock in front of us. Don't bother her by mentioning it again when you get back, and see what happens. ”

Hailan thought about it again and again, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
