Chapter 346: I can't leave
When all of this is connected in series, the answer is simply about to come out, to simplify the complex, Li Ke suddenly understood, the reason why his father let him ride the white hoof to participate in the horse race is to let him race with Princess Zhenzhu, just because Princess Zhenzhu likes horse racing? He suddenly thought of a possibility, and pro, before his father wanted to make peace with Tubo, and even selected the county lord and pro of the Hejian County Palace, but was stirred up by Li Yongshengsheng, and now Tubo wants to marry the princess to the Tang Dynasty to marry, and he is the one who was selected as the Tubo concubine, no, to be exact, he is the person selected by his father, and Tubo has not been selected, otherwise there will not be so many royal children to participate in the horse race, thinking of this, Li Ke's heart is full of bitterness, he also thought that his father suddenly discovered his talent, so he valued him, It turned out that his father just regarded him as a tool for his relatives, and in the end he was amorous, thinking of Li Chengqian, who was still kept in the dark, he suddenly felt that everyone was very sad, Li Chengqian also thought that he Li Ke suddenly became deeply sage, and deliberately arranged for someone to eat croton for Baihuo, but his father's heart was like a mirror, if Li Chengqian finally knew the truth, I don't know if he would vomit blood angrily.
"Haosheng will take the white hoof back to take care of it, and you will take turns in a group of three to look at the white hoof."
After Li Ke gave a stern order, he immediately jumped on the horse and went straight to Li Jiazhuang, Li Yong must be the one who knows the truth, if he doesn't ask Li Yong clearly, he won't be able to sleep tonight.
"Congratulations to Lang Jun for winning the first place in horse racing."
Li Li said with a smile.
"I didn't want to be in the limelight when I organized the horse race, not only did I not achieve my goal, but the white hoof was also fed croton, and the saint was very disappointed!"
Li Yong shrugged his shoulders slightly and said.
Li Li asked suspiciously.
"Whitehoof was fed croton?"
Li Yong nodded and said.
"Yes, the sage asked me to investigate the case, and one of the guards beside King Wu committed suicide by taking poison, so I went to the palace to make an errand."
After all, Li Lizhi grew up in the palace, and she was very sensitive to these things, so she figured out a lot in an instant, and hurriedly asked.
"What did my father say?"
Li Yong shrugged his shoulders slightly and said.
"The case is closed, what else can I say?"
Li Lizhi sighed slightly, she wanted to say something but didn't say anything in the end, since ancient times, there was no way to avoid the open and secret battles between princes.
"What about Princess Pearl? Did she have any other impressions of anyone? ”
Li Li asked curiously, every young woman has a gossip heart in her heart, Li Yong shook his head and replied.
"From what I've observed, she doesn't seem to be impressed by anyone."
As he was talking, someone hurriedly came to report.
"Master Hou, princess, His Royal Highness King Wu has come down."
"Let him in!"
Li Yong said very casually, Li Ke didn't care about these red tapes, and strode in.
"Li Yong, I want to ask you something."
Li Ke said with a complicated expression, Li Yong raised the chicken soup in his hand and asked.
"Would you like a bowl of chicken soup?"
Li Ke was speechless, he always thought that the chicken soup Li Yong said was a pretext, but he didn't expect that there was really chicken soup at home! Just, can you stop mentioning chicken soup? Not to mention chicken soup, even fairy chicken soup he has no appetite now! Li Ke waved his hand again and again and said.
"No, no, I can't figure out why my father wanted me to ride the white hoof to participate in the horse race, and now he asked me to take the white hoof back, I seem to have figured it out, right?"
Li Yong said in a deep voice.
"You're a smart person, you should have understood, but it's just an idea."
Li Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard it, it was really just an idea, it was not certain who Princess Zhenzhu would choose.
"His Royal Highness King Wu, I will send you a word, misfortune and fortune are relied on, and fortune and misfortune are lurking."
Li Yong continued to say with a straight face, Li Ke in history was killed by the eldest grandson Wuji, and the reason for this is not related to the throne? So if Li Ke really married Princess Zhenzhu and broke off his thoughts about the throne, it would not be a good thing, Li Ke didn't understand what Li Yong's words meant for a while, but he also figured out that horse racing with Princess Zhenzhu was what his father meant, so there was no way to shirk it.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to arrange it."
Li Ke sighed and said, why did it become my arrangement again? Didn't you want to challenge Princess Pearl? Li Yong said with a smile.
"Actually, I'm not familiar with Princess Zhenzhu, how can I arrange it? You go directly to the Sifang Pavilion to find her and challenge her, she will definitely agree, whether it is successful or not. ”
"I don't have the face to go to the door to challenge a little girl, if you want to arrange it, you can arrange it, if you don't want to arrange it, forget it, it's getting late, I won't bother."
After Li Ke finished speaking, he arched his hand and turned around and left.
Li Yong stroked his forehead and said.
"King Wu is not stupid!"
"How can the third brother be stupid? The first one who came out of the palace was counted as one, and all of them were human spirits. ”
Li Lizhi said with a smile, are they all human spirits? That's not necessarily, some are only shrouded in the present, but they can't be shrewd in the long run, such as Li Chengqian, such as Li Tai.
"So I also have a spirit around me! Then I have to be careful, but don't be sold by the people around me and help me count the money. ”
Li Yong touched his chin and smiled
"She is the only stupid girl in the palace, so she was deceived by you and helped you count the money."
Li Lizhi said with a smile, Sifang Pavilion, Goguryeo Temple, Gao Zheng laughed.
"Today is really an eye-opener, the royal children and noble children of the entire Datang Dynasty were won by a girl's family, if it weren't for Li Yong finally winning Princess Zhenzhu today, Datang's face would have been lost today."
Yuangai Suwen shook his head and said.
"I don't think Datang is losing face, but I think it's unexpected, these royal children and Xungui children of Datang are very strong in riding and shooting, our Goguryeo's Xungui children and royal children are definitely not comparable to them, that Tubo princess is really an outlier, her riding skills are very outstanding, and her white horse is definitely a rare BMW in the world, even I am difficult to win against her."
Before the game, Yuan Gai Suwen was full of confidence, but after the game, he found that he couldn't win against the princess of Tubo, Gao Zheng was a little unhappy when he heard these words, but he still said with a smile.
"In a few days, we should return to Goguryeo, how is your relationship with Huatinghou? If needed, you can stay in Chang'an for the time being and continue to contact Huatinghou. ”
Since it is a relationship of interest, why do you need to contact it? Hearing about the return to Goguryeo, Yuangai Suwen couldn't help but feel a little excited and expectant, because after returning to Goguryeo, he would be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and he Yuangai Suwen would definitely be rewarded. This will be the starting point for his ascent to Goguryeo, and with the help of Li Yong, he will realize his ideals and take revenge for humiliation. In the Tubo residence of the Sifang Pavilion, Princess Zhenzhu was dragging her cheeks in contemplation, and Lu Dongzan asked softly.
"What is the princess thinking?"
"I'm thinking about horse racing today."
Princess Pearl replied absentmindedly.
"Oh? Why does the princess seem to be frowning? Today's princess is to raise the prestige of our Tibet, so she should be happy! ”
Lu Dongzan said with a smile, Princess Zhenzhu played with the ends of her hair and replied with a smile.
"I should be happy, but I can't be happy."
Lu Dongzan asked in surprise.
"Why?"
Princess Zhenzhu asked seriously.
"Da Lun, you are a smart person, you should see it, today Li Yong organized a horse race, and so many royal children participated, it can be seen that he wanted the royal children of the Tang Dynasty to show their style in front of the people of Chang'an, so the Tang Emperor took the time to come to watch the ceremony, but it was disturbed by me, Li Yong was reprimanded by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I was a little reluctant to go, after all, Li Yong is actually very good, and he also took the initiative to invite me to take a hot air balloon."
Today's horse race, there are not many people who see it through, but Lu Dongzan is definitely one of them, after listening to this horse race, there are many royal children to see, and even the emperor will watch the ceremony in person, Lu Dongzan has doubts in his heart, the Tang Emperor is likely to want Princess Zhenzhu and the children of the Tang royal family to marry, Lu Dongzan listened to it and disagreed, to be honest, he can't look down on these princes at all, and there are only two people in the entire Tang Dynasty who can let him look down on the younger generation, one is the prince, the other is Li Yong, the prince of Huating, The prince of the country, this identity is weighty enough, and Li Yong is a great talent, however, Lu Dongzan understands in his heart that it is absolutely impossible for the Tang Emperor to let Princess Zhenzhu and the prince reconcile, although he guessed, but Lu Dongzan did not stop him, nor was he in a hurry, but encouraged Princess Zhenzhu to participate in the horse race, because he knew Princess Zhenzhu, the arrogant Princess Zhenzhu would not look at anyone in his eyes, Lu Dongzan's heart was the same as Mingjing, so he knew that Li Yong would never be reprimanded by the emperor, and he was not Li Yong's holy family, Li Yong is not wrong at all in this matter, not only is it right, but it is meritorious, it is Princess Zhenzhu who misunderstood, but Lu Dongzan didn't plan to explain, just let Princess Zhenzhu misunderstand, it's good, Lu Dongzan nodded and said,
"The princess's is very good, Li Yong is very likely to be reprimanded by the emperor, not only that, those royal children who participated in the loss to the princess will definitely feel very embarrassed, they will not find their own reasons, they will only blame Li Yong for the fault."
Princess Zhenzhu couldn't help but sigh faintly when she heard this, so she owed Li Yong more, this night, many people couldn't sleep, such as Princess Zhenzhu who felt very unhappy in her heart, such as Li Ke, the king of Wu, who was melancholy and lost, such as Li Tai, the king of Wei, who was very unwilling in her heart, such as Li Chengqian, the prince who was worried and frightened, of course, there are also some people who can't sleep because of excitement, such as Li Yuntian, who won the first place in the horse race and received the emperor's summons. And organized this huge horse race, and finally made a big show, Li Yong, who won the first place, slept very sweetly, what horse racing, what the first name, is just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning, it is a new day, leave the troubles yesterday, Li Yong looked at the map in the study, thinking about where the army marched, and now he is most concerned about the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who went out with the army, because this is related to the most important part of all his plans, and it is related to the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty. It is related to the fortune of this nation, and it is also related to the fate of Li Yong in the future.
"Grandpa Qiyu, Princess Zhenzhu has come to Lijiazhuang and wants to see Master Hou."
Xiao Niu said respectfully outside the study, Princess Zhenzhu has come to Lijiazhuang? Do you want to ride a hot air balloon? This is really good, Li Yong was thinking about how to discuss the horse race with Princess Zhenzhu, and then Princess Zhenzhu sent it to the door by herself, and Li Yong rushed to Lijiazhuang with the guards without saying a word.
"Princess, don't come unharmed!"
Li Yong saw Princess Zhenzhu who had been waiting for a long time and immediately smiled, Princess Zhenzhu directly handed over a brocade box, and said crisply.
"Here you go!"
Li Yong asked in surprise.
"What is this?"
"The gem I lost to you, I think about it or should give it to you, in fact, I know that I messed up your horse race, because I won the royal family and let you be reprimanded by the emperor, I feel a little reluctant not to go, if you insist on not accepting it, then I will not be even more unhappy."
Princess Zhenzhu replied earnestly, and Li Yong said a little confused.
"I wasn't reprimanded by the saints! If you win the game, that's your real skill, so why don't you bother? ”
Man, just die to save face and suffer the crime, forget it, I won't pierce you, Princess Zhenzhu nodded and said.
"Yes, yes, yes, you weren't reprimanded by the emperor, but you must accept the gem."
Li Yong shook his head and said.
"I won't take the gems, and I don't lack gems at home, since this gem is your beloved thing, a gentleman doesn't take away people's love."
Princess Zhenzhu insisted.
"You have to take this gem today, or I won't leave."
Li Yong couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, then this gem must be accepted, it doesn't matter if the gem is expensive or not, you can't let Princess Zhenzhu play tricks and not leave, although there is no shortage of this stuttering at home, but you can't let Princess Zhenzhu rub her rice so reasonably, he has already seen through it, this princess has a suspicious heart for the hot pot she eats, and she is eyeing it, Li Yong took the brocade box at once, nodded and said.
"Okay, since you're so insistent, then I'll take it!"
Seeing Li Yong accept the gem, Princess Zhenzhu felt a lot more comfortable in her heart, the taste of owing favors to others is really uncomfortable, Li Yong handed the brocade box to the calf and asked.
"By the way, does the princess like to eat hot pot?"
"I like it, I like it very much!"
Princess Zhenzhu's big eyes suddenly became very bright, what does Li Yong mean by this? Accepted the precious gems, and planned to repay the favor by telling her the secret recipe of hot pot? Although I feel sorry for it, it's really hard to refuse! Just when Princess Zhenzhu was thinking like this, Li Yong spoke.
"I will open a hot pot restaurant in Chang'an City in a few days, since the princess likes hot pot so much, she will definitely appreciate it when the time comes!"
Li Yong smiled slightly, don't think about eating at my house, let's go to the restaurant to eat! Princess Zhenzhu was a little speechless when she heard this, this was simply 108,000 miles away from what she thought! However, the thought of being able to eat hot pot at any time in the future is also great! I'm looking forward to it.
"Wow, I'm going to be there for me."
Princess Zhenzhu smiled.
"By the way, does the princess remember His Royal Highness King Wu?"
Li Yong asked with a smile.
Princess Pearl nodded in reply.
"Of course I do."
