Chapter seventy-five seems to be just a façade

Wu Ling'er took Madam Wu's hand and sat down: "What did the eldest lady say, how can you be an old man?" When the two of us go out, others may think we are sisters! ”

"Don't give me a poor mouth! You're only sixteen in May, and I'm thirty-six now, so I'm an old man, of course. Although she was scolding Wu Ling'er, Mrs. Wu still smiled, women, of course, I like others to say that she is young and beautiful.

Wu Ling'er leaned on Mrs. Wu's arms and sprinkled coquettishly: "No matter what, if I say no, it's not!" The eldest lady is a beauty, no one can compare! ”

"Don't think that if you have honey in your mouth, I won't teach you a lesson. Warn you, if you don't take care of your body again, I will lock you up at home in the future, and you will not be allowed to go out to play, even if Cheng is looking for them, I will not let you out. Although Lady Wu said this, the smile on her face made her words really not have any authority.

Wu Ling'er smiled and lay in Mrs. Wu's arms: "Really? After that, if Ling'er can't get married, the eldest mother will have to raise Ling'er for the rest of her life. ”

I wanted to teach Wu Ling'er a lesson, but I didn't expect to be countered by her, Mrs. Wu was so angry that she stretched out her hand to tickle Wu Ling'er, and Wu Ling'er ran away with a smile.

This is also because Wu Jingtai was born in the military, and Mrs. Wu's family is also a military family, so there are no too many restraints on Mrs. Wu, just like the wife of the hussar general Liu Hong, if it was changed to Liu Hong's concubine just now, or the other two aunts in the family, Wu Ling'er would not dare to say such a fuss.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. On the fourth day, Wu Ling'er got up early in the morning, and after cleaning up, she went to the front hall to greet Wu Jingtai, Mrs. Wu and the three aunts, and after having breakfast together, she began to wait for Li Chengxun to come over.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Li Chengxun and them to come, Wu Jingtai nodded to Li Chengxun: "My Ling'er can please you!" I don't want to see my daughter go to Nanchu in the future. ”

Li Chengxun smiled and said to Wu Jingtai: "Don't worry, for Ling'er's sake, I will definitely win this battle." ”

After taking the carriage to a large courtyard, Wu Ling'er found Li Chengtai, Li Chengyu had already arrived, she was helped out of the carriage by Li Chengxun and Fan Zhixiang and saluted the two: "Ling'er has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" ”

"Hehe, we're about to become a family, Sister Ling'er doesn't need to be so polite. My father said that you don't have to salute in the palace, this is the third brother's palace, and you don't need to be restrained. Li Chengtai smiled and helped Wu Ling'er up.

Wu Ling'er smiled at Li Chengtai before turning her head and saying to Li Chengyu: "I heard that Princess Chu was sick a few days ago, I don't know if she is in good health?" If not, Ling Er can serve His Highness. ”

Mentioning Princess Chu in public like this, Li Chengtai and Li Chengyu's faces changed slightly, but Li Chengyu immediately returned to normal: "Her body is no longer in trouble, don't worry about Sister Ling'er." ”

Wu Ling'er smiled and nodded: "This is the best." Brother Chengyu, you have been in Chang'an for so long, I haven't seen the princess yet, don't you bring it for Ling'er to see? Ling Er was very curious, what kind of outstanding person could be worthy of Brother Chengyu. ”

"Ling'er, why are you pestering Brother Chengyu? There's a Chengtai brother here, you don't care? Li Chengtai deliberately smiled and wanted to divert the topic, obviously he didn't want Wu Ling'er to continue on this matter.

Wu Ling'er nodded: "Ling'er has heard of it, Miss Fan, the daughter of the Shangshu family, was originally glamorous and amazingly talented, and was given by the Holy Emperor to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the crown princess." Among them, it is a wedding gift with a pearl of Qianhui, which is passed on as a beautiful talk by everyone. ”

Li Chengtai smiled slightly: "Yan'er...... Very good indeed! Next time, I'll introduce you to you! ”

"Big brother, third brother!" Li Chengxun took care of the matter over there and walked over: "Let's go, don't let my father and queen mother wait for a long time." ”

Seeing that it was not too early now, Li Chengtai and Li Chengyu did not object anymore, and everyone entered the other courtyard together.

After meeting Li Qian and the queen, Li Chengyu, Li Chengxun, and Wu Ling'er put the three paper rolls they had prepared into a wooden box. A palace man walked over, and after gently shaking the wooden box a few times, he said, "Please draw questions." ”

Wu Ling'er and Li Chengxun looked at Li Chengyu. Li Chengyu smiled faintly: "It's better for you to go first, to be a brother, you have to be a brother." ”

Li Chengxun smiled: "In this way, thank you to the third brother!" Ling'er, you smoke first! ”

Wu Ling'er smiled and reached into the wooden box and pulled out a roll of paper. It was handed to the palace man, who immediately put the paper roll into a tray. Then Li Chengxun and Li Chengyu each drew a paper roll and put it in turn.

After the palace people asked Li Qian, they opened the paper scroll that Wu Ling'er pulled out: "In the first game, the chess competition, the competition is three games, and the two winners win." ”

After hearing this competition request, Wu Ling'er's brows furrowed slightly, and she gently turned sideways and asked Fan Zhixiang: "Do you want to compete in three games?" ”

Fan Zhixiang nodded: "This is the rule of the competition, so it is said that the competition will take a day, if it drags on for a long time, it will not be finished in a day." ”

The next game of Go should take at least half an hour, and some masters may play for three hours or even longer. Playing three games in a row is not only a test of chess strength, but also a test of one's endurance and mental strength.

A palace man put the chess set over, and Wu Ling'er took advantage of Li Chengxun to look at him, and said to him softly with his hand in the shape of a trumpet: "Third brother, come on!" The appearance of this little child made Li Qian laugh: "Even if you are eccentric, you don't have to be so blatant, right?" Aren't you afraid of being jealous? ”

Li Qianyi said, and sure enough, Li Chengyu's face became even more stinky. Wu Ling'er secretly made a grimace, played Go, and lost half of her mind if she was not quiet.

However, to Wu Ling'er's disappointment, when Li Chengyu picked up the chess piece, the momentum of the whole person changed, as if he was not angry at all because of Wu Ling'er's small actions just now, and he was not unhappy because of Li Qian's words.

Seeing Li Chengyu like this, Wu Ling'er sighed lightly: "It's a pity! Such Li Chengyu, if he hadn't had such an extreme personality, would have become a pillar of the country, and now he ......

Wu Ling'er said helplessly: "No wonder others say that virtue is a good product, virtue is a defective product, no virtue is a dangerous product, and no virtue is a waste product." ”

Although this was said lightly, Li Chengtai, who was sitting not far away, also heard it, he looked at Wu Ling'er with some surprise, obviously he didn't expect Wu Ling'er to have such an opinion: "Sister Ling'er, who said that just now?" ”

"My mother!" After Wu Ling'er replied, she began to pay attention to the chess game.

Although Wu Linger has tried her best to imitate Li Chengyu's chess style, imitation is imitation after all, and there is still a slight difference from herself. And Li Chengxun has not played chess with Li Chengyu for several years, and he is somewhat unsuitable for his current chess style.

Li Chengyu suddenly smiled after leaving a son: "What's the matter, the fourth brother is not afraid?" ”

Li Chengxun thought for a moment before falling gently: "What did the third brother say?" ”

"Children who grow up in doting only have stronger self-esteem, but they can't afford to fail." Li Chengyu quickly left a son: "And the fourth brother, you, are a typical example of growing up in doting." ”

Seeing the displeasure on the queen's face, Li Qian grabbed her and whispered in her ear: "Cheng Yu just wants to disturb Cheng Xun's mind, not against anyone. ”

The queen sat back down, but the expression on her face was still not very good-looking.

As if sensing something, Li Chengyu raised his head and smiled apologetically at the queen. Seeing this smile, the queen was sure that Li Chengyu had no malicious intentions, and those words were just his tactics, so she went to the unhappiness in her heart, and also smiled at Li Chengyu. In the royal family, it is not a bad thing to use means to win, so the queen naturally does not mind too much.

Li Chengxun said after having a son: "If you want to talk about the degree of favor, the third brother is not less than me, right?" Before the age of the king, he was allowed to go to Nanchu to deal with various matters, and when the third brother managed Nanchu, his father and queen mother also helped you less. For royal people, whether family affection is more important, or convenient channels for handling various matters is more important, this point, presumably the third brother knows better than anyone else, right? ”

Li Chengyu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Chengxun to think of this, and he left a son again: "It seems that the third brother's ideal of being an idle prince seems to be just a pretense. ”
