Wan'er couldn't bear to say what she guessed, even if it was eighty percent true. Li Xian's haggard and guilty were in her eyes, and she also cherished them in her heart. She has never had a deep love for this man, only sympathy and gratitude.

knew that the girl named Pei Jin had crossed paths with Li Chongrun, and afterwards suddenly determined that the jade pendant that appeared on the woman's body was a man's thing - it was Li Chongrun's jade pendant.

This is undoubtedly a token of love, but the love is deep and shallow.

Wan'er pretended to respond indifferently: "It's just a coincidence, what kind of family style is the Pei family, there will never be such an overstepping thing." I just think that the two of them are very compatible in every aspect, isn't it natural for a man to be unmarried and a woman to be unmarried? Her words were not clear.

Li Xian thought about it again and lamented: "That's it, even if I am the Son of Heaven, I can't stop my mouth, why bother myself? ”

"Think about it a lot, it's going to be early tomorrow, let's rest." Wan'er's voice was inaudible.

Li Xian heard clearly, "Okay." ”

There was no more conversation, but it was clear to each other that no one had slept.

In the quiet of the long night, there is only the sound of an hourglass.

In the morning of the next day, Li Xian, who had not rested all night, was not in good spirits, his head was dizzy, and every word of many ministers flew in and out of his ears, and he was distracted and didn't listen to anything.

It wasn't until he heard someone mention Princess Jincheng that he was stunned.

"Qing family, please say it again, where do you want the slave to go?" Li Xian's face was gloomy.

The minister who had just made the suggestion was a little stunned, but still insisted: "The Tubo Zanpu envoy came to the Tang Dynasty to ask for relatives, and he was full of sincerity. On the issue of candidates, the minister thought that the princess of the right age and unmarried was the most suitable for Princess Jincheng. ”

Li Xian sneered: "She is still young, she can't leave the palace, and she can't leave Chang'an." He loved this adopted daughter very much, and protected him everywhere, not to mention sending him to Tibet, which was thousands of miles away, and even if he left the capital, he vigorously opposed it.

Seeing the attitude of the Son of Heaven, the courtiers were cold for a while, and they had a very senior plan to persuade them, but Li Xian stopped them with gestures: "Discuss something else, there is no room for negotiation in this matter." ”

After retiring from the dynasty, Li Xian, who was depressed in his heart, went straight to Zhaorong Palace, he wanted to hear what Wan'er said, after all, Wan'er and Princess Jincheng have a great relationship, and they will definitely put themselves in her shoes.

This Jincheng princess Li Nunu is the daughter of Li Xian's son Li Shouli, that is, Li Xian's granddaughter, according to common sense, Li Xian should not have an adult granddaughter, there is a scandal in the meantime, Li Shouli first had a male appearance, was seduced by the older maid in the room, came and went, the maid was pregnant, and gave birth to a daughter, it was Li Nunu.

Although Princess Jincheng is Li Shouli's daughter, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she is emotionally closer to Li Xian, Li Xian also loves her very much, and treats her as her own daughter, she also won the title of princess and became one of the seven princesses with official offices.

It must be said that this is a special case.

As for the matter of making peace with Tibet, Wan'er had heard some rumors earlier, and she didn't expect that the ministers had already made plans, but when she thought about it calmly, Jincheng was indeed the most suitable.

In terms of personal affairs, Wan'er doesn't want such a thing to happen, Li Nunu has the shadow of Li Xian on her body, and her temperament is very pure, she is never pampered and arrogant, no one will dislike her, but she must be jealous.

"We must listen to the slave's thoughts on this matter." Wan'er finally said, "As long as she is not willing, it is useless to care about those ministers arguing, whoever quarrels the most will make his daughter a princess and send her to make peace." ”

Li Xian felt relieved: "It is this truth, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, and they all boast of reading poetry and books." ”

"I'll go talk to the slave." Wan'er said again.

"That's the best, except for her Longi brother, she is most willing to talk to you." Li Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

Everyone in the palace knows that Princess Jincheng and King Linzi are good, and she has especially trusted and loved Li Longji since she was a child. She called him brother, but in fact, Li Longji should be an uncle, but since Li Xian regarded her as a daughter, there was nothing wrong with it.

At the same time, An Le, who got the news, was a gloating appearance, because Princess Jincheng had a special background, and she had lost the honor and favor that belonged to her, plus Jin Cheng was innocent and lovely, dignified in appearance, and good character, and the people in the palace loved her regardless of dignity and humility.

It is a fact that the situation between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty is unstable, and the high-sounding reason of being close to the border will never be let go, so she tried her best to encourage Empress Wei to marry Princess Jincheng into Tubo. Although she felt ridiculous in her heart, it was impossible for Wu Yanxiu to have a relationship between men and women for Jincheng, but she couldn't stand An Le's paranoia, not to mention that Jincheng was also a thorn in her side, so why not take the opportunity to get rid of it?

Wan'er and Princess Jincheng have met, and they have just returned to the dormitory, and they have welcomed an unexpected guest.

"King Linzi has been here for a long time." The palace maid whispered.

Wan'er said "oh": "Don't you invite people to tea?" ”

The palace maid was very aggrieved: "Your Highness, he didn't let him prepare, he just sat there, didn't speak, didn't give orders, and the slaves and maids didn't dare to come forward and ask." Yun Chu had the courage to talk, I don't know what His Highness said to her, in short, Yun Chu didn't have anything to do with this Highness. ”

This is indeed his style.

"Got it, go prepare tea, jasmine tea, King Linzi can't get used to that kind of bitter taste." After Wan'er finished speaking, she walked towards Li Longji.

"His Royal Highness the King of Linzi has been waiting for a long time." She saw him in the corner of the cloister, as if he were far away.

Li Longji saluted her, and his face was a little uncomfortable: "It's me who bothered me, and I was uninvited." ”

"It's my pleasure." It's not polite, it's heartfelt.

"I don't want to delay Zhaorong too much, it's better to make a long story short, please Zhaorong do his best to stop Princess Jincheng and her relatives." Li Longji said hurriedly.

He has always taken good care of this sister, and he did not hesitate to come to see Shangguan Wan'er for her, God knows what kind of feeling he feels like sitting on pins and needles in front of Wan'er.

"His Royal Highness is really good to Princess Jincheng." Wan'er said something for no reason, realizing that maybe she was out of shape, so she hurriedly said, "Take a sip of tea, talk while drinking, I heard that you have been here for a while." ”

Li Longji did not refuse, and followed the palace people to another place that was more suitable for conversation.

It was a matter of privacy, so there were no idlers on the side, Wu Yunchu, who was already following Wan'er, offered to stand by, but Li Longji refused before Wan'er.

Wan'er was surprised by his unusual behavior, and waited until Wu Yunchu walked away before saying, "You seem to be very resistant to her." ”

Li Longji did not deny it: "I have clear grievances. ”

"She's innocent to you." Wan'er defended Wu Yunchu.

"The purpose of this trip is not her, let's get down to business."

Wan'er had no choice but to say, "It's up to you." ”

"Slave her, she is a slave, she is uprooted from her hometown, how miserable the situation will be, her life experience is already bumpy, she has not had the love of her parents and relatives since she was a child, but now she is going to be used as a tool for harmony, and she will marry a bitter cold place where no one will care about her anymore." The words are full of pity.

"Yes, but she's lucky enough, for example, to have a good brother like you." Wan'er seemed a little difficult to let go.

Li Longji didn't look at her, and said awkwardly: "Aren't you all treating her very well?" Could it be all pretended? ”

Wan'er denied: "Of course it's sincere, doesn't His Highness think I'm happy to see the princess marry far away?" ”

"I never know what Zhaorong is thinking, but I'm sure someone must be happy to see such a result." Li Longji said fiercely, "Some people can't tolerate any good people and things in their eyes, and they want everyone to be like this when they are dirty." ”

"I just got back from slaves, you know?" Wan'er asked suddenly.

Li Longji suddenly said: "Could it be-"

Wan'er's expression was extremely calm: "I thought you should know the princess's mind best, not through me, didn't you ever ask her personally?" ”

Li Longji was vaguely disappointed: "I don't dare to ask." ”

"Actually, I'm just as afraid as you, the slave is not an ordinary woman, she is open-minded and rarely cares about personal gains and losses." Wan'er said slowly, "She can obviously be selfish and willful. ”

"She just wants to repay and repay everyone, especially the people who raised her." Li Longji thought so.

Wan'er shook her head: "It's not all like this, it's just a part of it, a tiny part, I only learned today, compared to slaves, I've only been obsessed for many years, and her transparency and intelligence are not something we can learn." ”

"Don't talk to me about the overall situation, sharing worries for the community and the like, this is not something that a woman should consider and bear? They may not be happy in times of peace and prosperity, but the turmoil of the times requires them to stand up, which is unfair and ridiculous. Li Longji also shook his head, and there was a kind of blood and strength in his words that belonged to young people.

Wan'er likes him like this, he is bright, he is hot, even if it is cold, it is still him.

"Nunu said that she wanted to share her father's worries and contribute to Datang, but these are not real reasons."

"What's her reason?" Li Longji asked, he frowned and pondered.

"She was voluntary, and I only confirmed it now, and I was deeply shocked by the tremendous energy in her flat tone, all the way, and there was a huge amount of energy in her flat tone." Wan'er looked directly at her heart, and also looked at Li Longji's eyes, saying that eyes will leak secrets, and you can't hide if you like a person or hate a person, but this young man, does he have a secret?

"Nu Nu said, she is tired of the open and secret battles in this palace, everyone wears a mask, each other looks like each other, Queen Wei and several princesses don't like her, instead of wasting their mental strength on intrigue, it is better to do their part to promote Tang Fan and the alliance, as a woman, this is also a supreme honor, not to mention that she heard that the Yalong River Valley in Tubo is beautiful and rich, the snow-capped mountains and glaciers are extremely holy, and the Zampu ruler is a young hero of Zhudan......"

Listening to Wan'er's eloquent narration, Li Longji's mind seemed to float to distant river valleys and icebergs.
