Li Xian is in a state of semi-emptiness, he just mentioned his fifth brother Li Hong in front of the Empress Wu, the negative anger is only part of the reason, and more importantly, he really misses his deceased brother very much. Since Li Hongxu's death, his voice and smile have been haunting Li Xian's mind, and he can't bear to wave it or wave it.

"His Royal Highness the Prince", Wan'er had already arrived at Li Xian, and seeing that he didn't notice it, she whispered, "The princess asked the slave maid to bring you a cup of wine." ”

Li Xian was disturbed by his thoughts, so he simply let out a long sigh, turned around and saw that the person who came was Wan'er, and calmed down, "Take it back, I won't drink it." "Still looking forward and looking away.

Wan'er didn't mean to leave, but still whispered: "Have a drink, Dogwood removes dampness and dispels evil, cures cold and liver, and is beneficial to His Highness." ”

Li Xian didn't answer, but he didn't drive her away again.

Wan'er took another small step, raised the wine glass, and raised it above her head, "This is the princess's order, the slave maid just waits for the empty wine glass to go back to life." ”

This reckless move was almost coercive, Li Xian's face was gloomy, but he didn't have a seizure, he just smiled, "Then who ordered you to trespass into the East Palace last time?" How did you come back to your life? Have you received your reward? ”

Three questions in a row, the posture was pressing, and when I changed others, I was already shocked to the point that my knees were weak and I knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Wan'er smiled, showing her cuteness, "The slave maid just hasn't seen the prince, and she is fascinated, and she has found an irresistible reason for herself, and what she has fulfilled is just her own wish." If you talk about rewards, gold beads and jade cui can't compare to the prince's frowns. ”

As a prince, Li Xian has heard countless flattery, straightforward and subtle, and he doesn't take it to heart at all. But Wan'er's indistinguishable rhetoric was a bit new, she turned around and looked at her with her head high, "Wan'er, my younger brothers and sisters like you very much, they only think you are smart, but I think you are too smart." He reached out and took the dogwood wine he was holding alof.

"It's stupid to think about." Wan'er straightened her waist at this time, and when she saw Li Xian drink all the wine in the cup, she suddenly smiled, "If you go too far, it will change in the opposite direction." ”

Li Xian's throat was still filled with the unique fragrance of dogwood, and he said: "It's good to be stupid, although the clumsy tongue says that the person who can't move me, he won't ignore it in his heart." With such well-founded and witty words as yours, I'd better beware of some of them. ”

Intuition told Wan'er that Li Xian's words were somewhat insincere, so he was not discouraged, took the empty wine glass, and looked at Li Xian carefully for the first time, the distance between the two was very close, if they got along like this on weekdays, it would definitely be unetiquette and intolerable for the palace rules, but at this time, no one cared too much, and Li Xian put on a posture of letting her go to see.

I'm afraid this face is going to be a model for the children of nobles, Wan'er thought. There are many handsome men, just talking about facial features, there are indeed people who are more outstanding than Li Xian, but the wonderful thing is that the eyebrows and eyes that are better looking than him, and the nose bridge that is taller than him, together do not make people marvel, Li Xian even has a distinct and soft jaw line, and it is integrated.

He is incomparable, unparalleled in heaven and earth.

"Look at it again, the roots of my ears are going to be red." Li Xian rarely said a joke.

Wan'er hurriedly lowered her head, but it was the root of her ears that was red, "The slave is rude." ”

Looking at Li Xian again, he didn't seem to notice this detail, and waved his hand not far away, it turned out that he was greeting Princess Taiping and the others.

Wan'er saw the opportunity and hurriedly said: "Don't disturb Your Highness's rest, it's time for the slave to go back to serve the princess." ”

Li Xian replied with a smile: "Go ahead." When Wan'er walked away, she said something to listen to herself, "It's all disturbed." ”

Although Princess Taiping has been laughing with the two brothers King Ying and King Xiang, she has been paying close attention to Wan'er and Li Xian in the distance. Seeing Wan'er turn back, her face was white and red, and the corners of her mouth were still smiling, and she immediately understood the mystery.

The King of England and the Prime Minister are both men, and they have no careful observation, let alone such exquisite thoughts, they only care about talking and laughing.

Half an hour later, the salute continued, and most of the participants were some of the nobles in the capital.

Li Xian thought that his vision was not good, so he pulled Li Dan to find a better position to watch. Taiping refused to go with him, saying only that it was suitable and a good place to take a quiet place. Wan'er naturally accompanied the princess.

When only Wan'er and Taiping were left, Taiping glanced at Wan'er, curled the corners of his mouth and asked, "Wan'er, who do you think is the best-looking among my brothers?" Seeing that Wan'er was obviously stunned for a moment, she asked a little deeper, "Or who do you like the most?" ”

Wan'er was sincerely afraid, "Several highnesses are dragons and phoenixes among people, how can slaves and maids be judged?" The slave maid only has reverence for several highnesses, and has no thoughts of anything wrong. ”

Taiping smiled arbitrarily, "People are different, a few people get together, there will always be a dazzling one, compare the others, this is a natural thing, how can there really be no discrimination?" ”

"What the princess said is that if there is a bright moon, it will be eclipsed by any star." Wan'er followed the words, thought about it and said, "It's just that more often, everything has different benefits, and it is difficult to choose and choose, and it is not necessarily necessary to choose the best one." ”

Taiping was thoughtful, infinite melancholy appeared in his eyes, and he said a little stupidly: "The sun is like fire, I know that it may burn people, but I still can't help but look up." I don't like the bright moon, I don't like the stars, I love the heat and flamboyance of the sun. ”

Wan'er felt that there was something in the princess's words, and saw that the princess's gaze seemed to be fixed by mana, and looked over with some confusion.

I saw that under the east steps of the shooting palace, there was a group of brightly dressed women surrounding a young man, maybe it was the man's laughter, or maybe the man's casual words, all of which made the hearts of this group of women bloom.

Taiping pouted, showing disdain, "Wan'er, go and see who is surrounded by a group of palace laves?" What kind of system is it to be so noisy and noisy? ”

No matter where you go, it will become a landscape, no matter who you look at, everyone will be lost in an instant, a person with this kind of exaggerated magic, Princess Taiping of course knows who he is, but she also deliberately pointed to Wan'er to inspect, nothing more than to let Wan'er evacuate the group of palace maids who forgot to be reserved and proud.

I don't know when it started, she hated all the women who appeared around him, related and irrelevant, she hated them all. However, he did not belong to her.

Wan'er was ordered to go to investigate, but the smart palace maid noticed the abnormality and immediately conveyed the message to everyone.

In this situation, the man's laughter was hearty, gently brushing his cuffs, his clothes were slightly rippling, and the jade belt was in the wind.

"The slave and maid are abrupt and disturb the noble Yaxing." Wan'er is courteous.

"My name is Xue Shao, a native of Fenyin, Hedong." Xue Shao returned the salute and said.

Wan'er suddenly had a good impression, the name Xue Shao is not unfamiliar, he is the youngest son of Xue Qiang, the general of Zuo Fengchenwei, and his mother, Princess Chengyang, is the sixteenth daughter of Emperor Gaozong, and she is also the younger sister of Li Zhi, the son of heaven. Xue Shao's background is not noble, and he doesn't need to return the favor in front of a female official like Wan'er, but he is peaceful and generous, and gives him reciprocal respect.

"Slave Shangguan Wan'er, I have long admired Xue Gongzi's fame," After knowing Xue Shao's identity, Wan'er realized the true intention of the princess, "The princess invites you to come over." ”

Xue Shao glanced at the high stairs and said with a smile: "She seems to have grown taller." ”

After the end of the salute, the banquet began, but Li Zhi left the table early because of a headache, the Empress Wu raised his wine glass, drew a circle in the air, expressed his respect to the ministers, and signaled everyone to have fun at will, and after a while, he also left under the pretext of dealing with government affairs.

The emperor and queen left, the courtiers were less restrained, no longer restrained, on this special day, even the usually dull and wooden people, have become active, staggered, poems and drinks, a festive and peaceful.

The crown prince Li Xian cleaned up his mood and was already sitting with his brothers and sisters, Xue Shaoyin and several princes were friends of the general horn, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and at this time they were the object of everyone's ridicule.

"Brother Xue, I heard that you went back to Bashu this time...... "King Li Xian asked curiously, not forgetting to tease, "What have you heard?" I heard that the woman over there has a particularly fair complexion, black hair reaching the ground, and a waterfall, I wonder if it's true? ”

Xue Shao smiled and drank: "The people of Bashu are spicy like life, mostly related to the humid climate, all things are born and restrained, and the complexion is really good, and because of the beautiful mountains and rivers, one side of the water and soil nourishes the other side, and both men and women are delicate and white——"

"Listen to everything," Taiping said, "What do you say about traveling in all directions and increasing your knowledge, I'm afraid that I will go to Zhangtai and read the world's famous flowers!" ”

When these words were said in public, and from the mouth of a beautiful aristocratic woman, the scene was more than just embarrassing.

Fortunately, the crown prince Li Xian didn't say anything, and his words were amazing, "Taiping words don't reach the meaning, but I understand what she means, she is saying that Brother Xue is proud of the spring breeze, galloping on horseback, sweeping over the famous rivers and mountains, and the strange flowers and plants are also in full view." ”

Everyone made a look of sudden realization and nodded to each other.

Taiping glared at him, "I hate it!" ”

Wan'er wanted to laugh, but she could only hide it in her heart, and couldn't help but look at Li Xian again.

Xue Shao did not fall into embarrassment because of Taiping's words, but talked eloquently, "This time I traveled to Bashu, Du'anyan visited the water, Qingcheng Mountain asked, more and more I think that it is to conform to nature, not to deliberately seek fame, that is a kind of profound realm, wealth and glory are things outside the body, only fame is the most important thing." ”

Li Xian laughed and said, "Xue Shao, you are so open-minded only because fame and fortune are at your fingertips...... You might as well take a look at the people who walk at the end of the Dragon Tail Road every time they go to court, but they dream of replacing the wooden wat in their hands with an ivory wat. ”

Li Dan has another opinion, "Being in the midst of fame and fortune but indifferent to fame and fortune is not a kind of calm and leisurely, after all, if you are poor in food and clothing, and you are tired of coping with survival, fame and fortune are gold and silver treasures, and you can't understand the deep meaning, let alone indifference." ”

Xue Shao was about to speak, but Taiping said impatiently: "You guys are really enough!" Let's talk about some gods and gods who are boring, just like me, I was born a princess, can I still run away to be a beggar? Each has its own destiny, everything comes according to identity, and everything is understandable. ”

Wan'er didn't fully agree with what any of them said, she didn't advocate quiet inaction, nor did she advocate ambition, so she wouldn't be satisfied with the status quo, nor would she work hard. She believes in Taiping's fate, but the prince and the general, would rather have a kind? She has a kind of resilience in her bones, which makes her bent and indomitable.

Xue Shao had to look at the prince and shrugged his shoulders in a very small way to show that he was helpless.

Li Xian seemed to suddenly think of something, and coaxed and said: "Don't look at Taiping is always arrogant, as soon as Xue Shao comes back, she will have to stop." ”

Li Dan nodded, not forgetting to look at Xue Shao, "I'm afraid this is what Brother Xue said, 'all things are born and restrain each other'......"

"Please, Brother Xue." Li Xian said very politely, "My sister, I bother Brother Xue to take care of it." ”

Xue Shao couldn't cry or laugh, "Ling Yue is also my sister, so she should do her best." ”

Princess Taiping grabbed the Jinpa in her hand and threw him, "Who is your sister?" It's not like I don't have a brother! ”

At this time, several brothers laughed.

Li Dan said with regret, "If my sister hadn't become a female Taoist priest because she became a monk back then, I'm afraid Brother Xue would really be a concubine." ”

The words "Captain of the Horse" are like a small pebble thrown into the middle of the lake, although it cannot stir up big waves, but it also breaks the calm on the surface.
