142 Internal and external troubles: How can the daughter of Yidi be a wife?
The tears of the crowd fell to the ground and shattered, but there was no sound.
Li Xian has long had no tears, his dry eyes are like bottomless black holes, and his voice has no heat: "Change into court clothes." Wan'er is right, she can't let them sacrifice in vain. β
There was a glimmer of light in Webster's despair, she sat down and smiled very ugly: "Chongrun, mother can't give you a ride in person, it's very cold on that road, you walk slower alone." β
Wan'er stepped forward to help Wei Shi up, and ordered around: "Groom Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess!" β
Changing her gentle tone, Wan'er tried her best to comfort Li Xian and his wife.
Eventually, Lee and Webster followed her advice, but in reality, they had no choice.
In front of the queen's bedroom, the troubled couple knelt down, cried that their godson had no way to do it, and begged for forgiveness.
Wan'er struggled to mediate and mediate, and the Zhang brothers had achieved their goal of venting their anger, the empress weighed the pros and cons and decided not to implicate others again, so Li Xian and his wife escaped.
But whether this is luck or misfortune, losing his most beloved eldest son, Webster's despondent and becoming a skeleton that survives. As everyone knows, the princess of Yongtai, Li Xianhui, learned that her husband Wu Yanji had an accident and died of a miscarriage a few days later.
The son and daughter left one after another, and the grief of Li Xian and his wife reached the extreme, Li Bao'er accompanied her parents all day long, looking at her tearful and trance-stricken mother, and listened to her say again and again - "Bao'er, we only have you now." β
Li Bao'er's heart was crossed, and he hugged Wei: "Mother, you have to cheer up!" Let's all take heart! Our Li family has lost too much, and we will have to earn it back one by one in the future, and those who owe us must make them pay a double price! Otherwise, how can I comfort my brother and sister's souls in heaven! β
Time is the best medicine, even the unforgettable pain will slowly fade, and the tragedy of the Wu and Li families will gradually not be mentioned.
Soon, Li Chongjun was made the emperor's grandson. But because Li Chongjun was born in Li Xian's side room, he has never been liked by Wei and An Le, and now he is asked to choose this big bargain, the mother and daughter both hate itchy, and Li Bao'er is even more jealous and hateful in her heart, and she said to Wei several times that it was this broom star who died Chongrun and Xian Huike. Webster was convinced of this nonsense, and his attitude towards Li Chongjun became more and more contemptuous and hateful. Under the subtle influence of Webster's mother and daughter, Li Xian gradually became indifferent to Li Chongjun.
Li Bao'er has a very high heart, with the backing of her parents, no matter what Li Chongjun is now the identity of the imperial grandson, she has repeatedly squeezed and ridiculed Li Chongrun intentionally or unintentionally in public, and even deliberately talked about his childhood in public.
Li Chongjun couldn't get off the stage when he returned, his face was red, but he still repeatedly tolerated and retreated, and his patience did not get the other party's concession, but made his situation more difficult.
Family banquets are still held from time to time, and on the surface the royal family is still a happy scene, and no one dares to express their resentment towards the empress.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Bao'er glanced at her husband Wu Chongxun, Wu Chongxun got up willingly, picked up the wine glass and walked to Li Chongjun, "His Royal Highness, I wonder if Xiao Wang has the honor to invite you to have a drink?" β
Li Chongjun stood up and said very casually: "Why should the family be so polite, come, you and I can have a drink." β
As soon as the wine glass reached his lips, he heard Li Bao'er laughing: "Don Ma, since Brother Chongjun has said so, you must have a good drink, think about it, where has Brother Chongjun been looked at like this in the past, but he is a dispensable role, to tell a joke, when I was young, our brothers and sisters called Brother Chongjun 'house slave'......" After speaking, there was a crisp laugh.
Many people covered their mouths and laughed, and some held back their laughter.
The corners of Wu Chongxun's mouth twitched: "It's really a kind name!" Or your family is in harmony! But Xiao Wang thought, how could Brother Chongjun care about these details, the hero doesn't ask where he comes from! Besides, it's not a shame to be your Li family's 'house slave'! β
Li Chongjun's face was blue and white for a while, and his heart was panicked, feeling that everyone's eyes were vague and fluttering, full of contempt and mockery.
He felt sad: they were all relatives, but they humiliated him like this, even if he was now the emperor's grandson, he was always inferior. Ask yourself, he is close and loyal to Li Bao'er and other brothers and sisters, and I really don't understand why he is not accepted and recognized like this.
The facial muscles twitched, and he smiled reluctantly: "My sister still can't grow up, and she is straightforward and fast-talking, which is really naΓ―ve!" β
Raising his head, he drank a jue of wine cleanly, and without waiting for anyone to come and serve the wine, he poured himself several glasses in a row.
The mood was very bad, but the wine was very good, Li Chongjun was faintly drunk, thinking that if he lost his temper after drinking later, he might be arranged by Li Bao'er and his wife, so he found an excuse to leave the table.
Walking on the shore, the wind blowing on the water made him shiver, his feet slipped, and he almost fell into the lake, saying that it was too late and that was too fast, and a strong hand grabbed him.
Li Chongjun was shocked, glanced at the rescuer, and his heart settled: "King Linzi, it turned out to be you." β
Li Longji nodded and let go of his hand: "Why did His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun lose his soul?" β
"I don't pay attention to drinking too much." Li Chongjun didn't want to be seen embarrassed, so he forced his spirit and explained, "I'm in a good mood at today's party......"
Li Longji naturally saw that it was one of them, although he did not participate in today's family banquet, but it was not the first time that those clan disciples had played tricks on Li Chongjun at the wine table, and he could guess a few points without thinking about it.
"His Royal Highness, if you can endure what ordinary people can't bear, you will definitely achieve great things!" He didn't beat around the bush.
Li Chongjun was shocked: "What does King Linzi mean?" β
"That's exactly what Your Highness thought."
"I don't have any luxuries."
"But since he is in this position, he will inevitably be coveted and peeped at, and the gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty!" Li Longji reminded.
Li Chongjun sighed loudly: "Others say I'm lucky, but is such luck really a good thing?" β
"Your Highness's modesty and courtesy are virtues, but everything must be different from person to person, and you can't blindly evade or indulge, otherwise it will further encourage the arrogance of some people." Li Longji complained about him.
Li Chongjun was a little entangled: "It's all my own family, and I'm my brother, so let Rang should be." β
Although Li Longji was full of sympathy for Li Chongjun, at the same time, he saw his qualifications and temperament clearly, and could only mourn his misfortune in his heart.
Because Li Chongrun and Wu Yanji died innocently, the alliance between the Wu and Li families became unexpectedly stronger.
Wan'er suddenly had a frightened guess, it turned out that the empress's biggest intention to kill Li Chongrun and Wu Yanji was here, not just to consolidate authority, she was passing on the contradictions, and did not hesitate to let the Zhang brothers become the target of public criticism.
Now the Wu and Li families have hated Erzhang to the core, according to Wan'er's understanding of the empress, she will never kill her relatives without verification because of a few words to sow discord, I think Xu Jingye described her so unbearable in the text, she did not have the slightest anger, on the contrary, she also appreciated her talent very much, is such a talented person, why would he do such a ridiculous and ruthless thing? Now that I think about it, I can understand it, but I can't make up for the damage that has already been done.
After the autumn of this year, the Turkic Ashina Mo Si Khan came to Luoyang again, this time he clearly asked the royal family surnamed Li to be a concubine, at this time Wu Yanxiu was still stranded in the Turks, if he did not have the courage and reliance, Mo Si resolutely did not dare to be reckless here.
Both the Li family and the Wu family were very annoyed by this, they were surprisingly synchronized in terms of unanimous external aspects, and the empress was not at ease in her heart, this Mo Si Khan made it clear that he was here to show off his might, for the sake of border tranquility, the empress had to be seriously perfunctory, so she specially summoned the children of the royal family of the right age for Mo Si to choose.
Although the silent request is unreasonable, many people have heard of the good names of several Turkic princesses, especially a princess named Yaozhen, who is really a unique pearl in the world.
Since ancient times, fair ladies and gentlemen have been good, and it is inevitable that young clan children will also have budding hearts.
This banquet called "Catching the Wind for the Turkic Khan" was set up in Suyu Pavilion, and at a glance, it was full of outstanding royal talents.
At the feast, Mosi's sharp eyes scanned the crowd like a goshawk, as if looking for the best prey.
He can't get used to drinking the wine of the Central Plains, he doesn't dislike it enough, he can't eat the dishes on the wine table, he can't eat it happily, he always looks so stingy, of course, he doesn't look down on these pampered and slender aristocratic children, none of them can be worthy of Yaozhen, Yaozhen will never like them, just like another daughter, Yaozhen's sister, they only admire the real heroes, but it's a pity - the corners of his eyes are damp, he can't help his dead daughter.
"Presumably this is His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson." Mo Si narrowed his eyes, and seemed to be very interested in Li Chongjun.
Objectively speaking, Li Chongjun is not the best and conspicuous among the people here, he has a loyal appearance, and his body is also sturdy, and he does not have the noble air that is highly respected by the world.
Li Chongjun saw that he had bad intentions, and said: "Chongjun is not talented." β
Mo Si played with the wine glass in his hand and shook his head: "I see that you are very good, I like you very much, I wonder if Your Highness is willing to be my Turkic colt?" β
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, how could the dignified grandson of the emperor and the future crown prince of the Great Zhou lower his body and join the foreign clan?
This is quite rude, and several clan disciples can't help but want to denounce it, which is clearly an insult to Da Zhou!
Li Chongjun sneered and responded with an arrogant and almost reckless attitude: "How could the clan surnamed Li take the daughter of Yidi as his wife? The khan must not understand our customs, and the so-called ignorant is not guilty, and I will not bother with the khan! After speaking, he picked up the wine cup and raised it to the silent sip.
