22 King Li Xian: A friend who can't climb high

In the afternoon of this day, Wan'er was still in the palace to assist Lady Lin in taking care of affairs, she encountered a slightly tricky document drafting problem, and was thinking about how to wording it so as not to be abrupt, when suddenly someone gently knocked on her head with a folding fan, startled, and instinctively exhaled: "Who is it?" ”

"It's me."

As soon as she heard the voice, Wan'er knew that it was Li Xian, the third son of Empress Wu and the seventh son of Li Zhi.

"The slave has seen His Royal Highness." Wan'er saluted.

"Polite what? It's not the first time I've seen you. Li Xianman said nonchalantly, hurriedly looked around, and asked in a suppressed voice, "What about the queen mother?" ”

"It's really not a coincidence, the queen of heaven went to Hanliang Hall to take a rest."

Li Xian was puzzled: "Is this weather already so hot?" ”

"The queen of heaven is so bored that she panics, so she goes to breathe." Wan'er replied.

"That's right, staying in the Xuanzheng Hall all day, dealing with stacks of boring folding papers, it's strange not to be bored, but, I said Wan'er, you seem to be enjoying it." Li Xian smiled as he spoke, the corners of his eyes and lips were very soft and beautiful.

Wan'er also smiled: "What His Highness says is what it is, you say that the slave is happy, and the slave is happy." ”

Li Xian poked Wan'er's forehead: "You girl!" He turned around and sat down in front of the dining table.

Wan'er hurriedly instructed the palace maid to prepare refreshments.

Li Xianyi waved his hand: "Don't bother too much, give me a plate of candied fruit and a cup of sugarcane juice." ”

"It just so happens that here is a batch of well-pickled black plums, take them to His Highness to taste." Wan'er winked at a little maid beside her.

"Wan'er, I have some ideas for Lingyue's birthday banquet." Li Xian beckoned and asked Wan'er to come closer, "My sister loves to be lively and novel, I want to invite someone to perform a puppet show in the palace, and then invite some orchids to play the five strings, and let some men of different races dance the Hu Xuan dance......"

Wan'er had long heard of the exotic customs in Chang'an, and when she heard Li Xian say this, her yearning deepened, "It's best to invite Gaochang musicians and Qiuzi dancers, I heard that their singing and dancing are unique." ”

Li Xian nodded, just at this time the refreshments he asked for were brought up, and Wan'er was about to serve, Li Xian raised his hand again, "No." So he poured a lamp himself.

Wan'er saw that he was extremely full, and reminded: "Be careful of overflowing." ”

Li Xian went directly to the front of the lamp and took a big sip, winking at Wan'er, "Isn't this good." ”

Wan'er smiled and shook her head slightly.

Li Xian drank the sugarcane juice and continued the topic, "But Wan'er, you also know that the queen mother is solemn and rigorous, and the queen mother will not like these Hu people singing and dancing." To tell you the truth, I came today to find out the queen mother's tone first. ”

Wan'er picked a big and plump black plum and sent it to Li Xian: "The queen of heaven is kind, as long as the princess likes it, how can the queen of heaven have an opinion?" His Royal Highness thinks about what he wants, just let it go, and the queen of heaven is a reasonable and generous person. ”

Li Xian lowered his head slightly, his clear eyes seemed to be covered with a veil, and he didn't speak, taking advantage of Wan'er's lack of awareness and defense, he actually took Wumei into his mouth with the tips of Wan'er's fingers.

Now Wan'er was ashamed and ashamed, blushing and stamping her feet.

Seeing this, Li Xian laughed.

Wan'er snorted and stopped paying attention to Li Xian.

Li Xian carefully observed her for a while, realized that she might be really angry, straightened up, and pretended to say: "The eighth brother is also here, but for some reason, the pestle is outside the palace gate, and he just refuses to come in...... I thought about it carefully, it must be Wan'er that you have offended him, and I want to ask you about your sin. ”

Wan'er was amused and angry, and glared at Li Xian: "I really obeyed Your Highness!" King Xiang is the most generous and moderate, how can he worry about Wan'er? Besides, I didn't have a chance to offend him at all. ”

Li Xian shook his head like a rattle: "That's not necessarily, it's not necessarily." ”

"I'm going to ask Your Highness to make it clear." Wan'er knew that Li Xian was looking for fun, so she deliberately asked with a cold face.

"Didn't you promise to help him copy a few copies of the Prajna Sutra a few days ago? He waited left and right in the house, from sunrise to sunset, from the full moon to the waning moon, but after all these days, you left him aside......"

"Oops!" Wan'er slapped her head and said to herself, "I really forgot!" ”

"I'll just say it!" Li Xian couldn't hold back, but still smiled, "The eighth brother can't say why, after all, there is a reason." ”

Wan'er was successfully diverted, but at this time she smiled slyly, "I forgot to forget, but this Buddhist scripture was copied a long time ago, I just forgot to send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Since His Royal Highness the Prime Minister has come in person, the slave and maid will take it out and hand it over to him, and it is just the right thing to ask for guilt by the way, so that Your Highness will not be able to condescend to your dignity and sit in the court in person to ask for the guilt...... If there is an unjust, false and wrongful case, how can it be done! ”

Li Xian chewed on the black plum, his smile became deeper and deeper, and he didn't admit defeat: "Wan'er, you are getting bolder and bolder, in the future, I have to help you find a family and restrain it well, otherwise what if you are unhappy and poke a hole in the sky?" I don't have Nuwa Stone to make up for you. ”

"Then should I hurry up and thank you, thank Your Highness for your good intentions." Wan'er pulled the placket of her clothes, really bowed, and then tilted her head, with an expression of what you can't do.

Li Xian was very happy in his heart, but he deliberately shouted: "Thank you, thank you!" If you don't go out to deliver the scriptures to my stunned eighth brother, I'm really worried that you will be late, and he will become a stone statue! ”

Wan'er was also very happy, packed up the scriptures from the desk, hugged them in her arms, and bowed to Li Xian again, "Slave and maid, go here, Your Highness, you rest first." ”

Li Xian tasted the candied fruit while pretending to be impatient and urging her to leave quickly.

Wan'er was in a very happy mood, although she did not have frequent contact with King Li Xian, but she was strangely close to him emotionally, she knew that she could not climb up to such a friend, but deep down she still regarded him as a friend.
