180. The art of checks and balances
At the small banquet with many people in the Hanliang Palace, Li Longji has always been unable to sit still, and he will sneak out to relax when he is half drunk.
You'an estimated the time, and waited on the path he had to pass, stacking a few pieces of wood on the bluestone to play. This kind of wood is used by the craftsmen in the palace to make small samples, before building the palace room, first use small pieces of wood to try the effect, but a few pieces of wood, can match the ever-changing appearance.
She saw Li Longji coming from a distance, but she pretended not to see it, deliberately showing off her skills, and turned into a two-story small building.
When Li Longji passed by, he was really attracted by the gadgets in You'an's hand, and stood not far away to watch.
You'an looked up and asked, "Is the county king also interested in this thing?" ”
Li Longji saw You'an's face clearly: "You are the person next to Bao'er." His eyes swept over the small woods, and he obviously wanted to take them and take a look, but he twisted his head stiffly: "It's just some unpopular playthings, so I won't be interested in these things." ”
You'an heard him say childishly, so he pushed the small building that had been piled up in front of him: "Otherwise, I'll make a bet with the king of the county to see who can use this thing to build five floors." ”
Li Long is basically very competitive, and when he heard that he was going to gamble, he said directly: "Then I'll come first." He tried several times, and the first three floors went well, and each time he reached the fourth floor, and then it collapsed. He pushed the wood: "This is impossible, no one can pile five layers at all." ”
You'an took the timber he had pushed over, and piled up three layers according to the exact same pattern he had just made, and when he reached the fourth layer, he chose a flattering angle, and although it staggered, it did not fall. She picked and chose three pieces of the same shape among the remaining timbers, and placed them on top of them at the same time, shaking and shaking like a small tower, and finally came to a steady stop.
Li Longji showed a look of surprise, but he was still unconvinced: "You fiddle with these things every day, of course you are familiar with them." ”
You'an picked up the top three pieces of wood and gave him the shapes that were linked to each other: "The king of the county is right, I am indeed familiar with it. But then again, according to the method of the county king, even if you practice for a long time, it is impossible to succeed. Because the fifth layer must be supported by three pieces of wood, this is the check and balance. ”
When Li Longji heard this, his face turned gloomy: "Someone called you here to use these things to teach me, right?" ”
You'an knew that he was referring to Li Dan, and explaining too much made him resist, so he simply said: "The king of the county is smart, where is the use of preaching, but even if you don't say it, the truth is always there." ”
Li Longji sneered, and his smiling face on weekdays was cloudy: "Even if it is a check and balance, it has to be three pieces of wood of similar weight, and there are many dynasties and dynasties to seize the throne between princes and grandsons." As the king of the county, I have to compete with a few nondescript playthings for the trust and love of the imperial grandmother all day long, what kind of checks and balances is this? ”
Probably felt that You'an was soft-spoken, even if he listened to his words, he couldn't do anything, Li Longji said ruthlessly: "I don't care about Wulang and Liulang, I feel disgusted when I see them in front of the imperial grandmother, one day, I must kill them all to be willing." ”

Previous chapter synopsis:... often corresponded with a concubine in Wu Sansi's house, and listened to the description of the palace maid, that concubine should be Hui'an. was humiliated by Pei Shizhen on the street back then, but she didn't expect that she could still communicate as usual as if nothing had happened. You'an didn't want to have anything to do with Hui'an anymore, she didn't want to see her, and she was worried that she would recognize her, so she simply never asked about it. It couldn't be delayed any longer, so You'an had to choose a day, put the jade flute in a brocade box, and personally return it to Li Chengqi. She deliberately chose a day when there was a court meeting in the palace, thinking that maybe Li Dan would not be at home if he was going to the court, so as to avoid the embarrassment of meeting. Unexpectedly, when the maidservant girl at the door led her in, she saw Li Chengqi sitting upright cooking tea, and Li Dan was sitting opposite him. Li Chengqi raised the teacup with both hands and held it very respectfully in front of Li Dan, but Li Dan took it but didn't drink it, but only said to him: "You have a guest coming." Li Chengqi was very respectful in front of Li Dan: "Please wait a moment, father, I'll go and change into a new tea set." As soon as the others left, only You'an and Li Dan were left in the room. You'an didn't speak, Li Dan didn't speak, and he didn't even raise his eyes to look at her, only shook the shallow teacup in front of him. Li.....
Synopsis of the following chapters:... Aunt Taiping made amends. Shangguan Wan'er has always kept a close eye on Li Longji's knowledge, and it is true that the examination of etiquette is also true, and Erzhang obviously knows that this matter is wrong, but he can't say anything. The person who should enter the net did not have a plan, and the two could only take out the pre-prepared gift stupidly, which was a jade statue of the same height as a real person, and the face was carved according to the appearance of Princess Taiping. This gift is actually very flattering, not only complimenting Princess Taiping, but also flattering the empress by the way. I originally thought that the things that had been arranged were in vain, and I was unlucky enough, and I didn't want to be more unlucky. When the palace people stepped forward to move the jade statue, they brought down a piece of curtain, and the wood carving figure that had been prepared before rolled out directly and fell at the feet of the empress. Now he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to, and he didn't need the empress to open his mouth at all, so Li Longji asked directly: "Who is so bold that he dares to use such filthy things to disrespect the emperor's grandmother?" This was originally what Er Zhang had thought about saying to Li Longji, but at this moment, his status was directly reversed. Zhang Yizhi was a little more shrewd after all, and he was very suspicious in his heart, but there was not much panic on his face: "I'm afraid that the king of the county still has to ask the people who were in the house before, we are putting the birthday gift ...../>."
He glanced at the pile of wood: "This kind of carving insect skill, if you learn it, is just an inferior person who sells crafts, and it is really useless to me." With that, he turned around and left.
You'an had expected that Li Longji was stubborn and would not be so easy to persuade, but when he heard him say that the craftsman was an inferior person who sold crafts, he still felt a little sad in his heart. She and Li Dan have these common hobbies, Li Chengqi has been exposed to them since childhood, and they are both accomplished, but Li Longji is not interested in it at all.
She bent down and put the wood together piece by piece, so that she lowered her body, and her eyes could just be seen far under the tree, and she saw that in the dirt on the side of the palace road, there was a small bag lying quietly, which the man used to carry some small objects with him, but the style was a little feminine, and a lotus flower was embroidered on it.
You'an didn't recognize it at first, but when he picked it up and held it in his hand, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Changzong, who was next to the empress, was once flattered and praised as "not Liulang like a lotus, but a lotus like Liulang", and since then he has been given the nickname of Lotus Liulang. Her palms were sweating, if this was something left by Zhang Changzong, then did he pass by here, would he have heard Li Longji's "great rebellion"?
The matter involved Li Longji, and You'an was a little confused for no reason, and before he could come up with the slightest clue, the person had already been grabbed by the wrist and dragged directly into the corner.
She thought it was Li Dan who came again to force her to prove herself H2
