Chapter 420: Waiting

In the Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun had already rested with the emperor, but Empress Changsun didn't sleep well at all, and Empress Changsun, who woke up again, asked softly.

"What time is it?"

The maid outside the bead curtain said softly.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, now is the time for Yin."

"It's already late, what's going on in the East Palace?"

Empress Changsun hesitated for a moment and asked softly, the maid outside the bead curtain did not answer immediately, because she didn't know how to answer, and she was a little afraid to answer, and after a short silence, Empress Changsun sighed in her heart, gently took Li Er's hand away, and then sat up, and asked softly word by word.

"What happened? Say! ”

The maid said softly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have never had a cave room......"

Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but sigh slightly when she heard this, of course she didn't think it was the princess's problem, it must be that the prince didn't want to have a cave room, and even such a beautiful princess couldn't compare to a male pet?

"What about the prince?"

Empress Eldest Sun asked softly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been drinking in the dormitory, and after getting drunk, he lay on the case, and the princess wanted to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rest, but was scolded by His Royal Highness the Prince."

The maid said softly, and the eldest grandson empress sighed softly, fortunately, the prince did not leave the dormitory, otherwise, I don't know how many rumors came out. The eldest grandson queen is very helpless, the prince just doesn't want to cave the house, and others can't help him! I only hope that the crown princess can fall in love with the prince for a long time, and finally influence the prince and change the prince, listening to the faint sigh in his ear, Li Er also woke up from his sleep and asked.

"What's wrong?"

Empress Eldest Sun sighed lightly.

"Gao Ming is drunk in the dormitory."

Li Er couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, seeing that the prince was very cooperative with the whole wedding today, he thought that the prince had changed! Unexpectedly, when I was in the cave room, I made a moth again, and I got drunk on the night of the cave room, isn't this nonsense? How can there be a drunken groom on the night of the cave house? Empress Eldest Sun didn't dare to say it all, and when she saw the emperor, she frowned and sighed, and said softly.

"Maybe the prince's mood hasn't been completely resolved, and it will get better after a while."

"Well, that's all there is to it! You can comfort and comfort Su Shi more! Go to sleep! ”

Li Er sighed, this grand wedding is like a gust of wind for the people of Chang'an, because it has reached the lunar month, or the New Year is more concerned by everyone, Li Lizhi happily entered the palace early in the morning, originally she also wanted to pull Li Yong into the palace together, although Li Yong was also a little curious about the princess appointed by the eldest grandson, but think about it, forget it, I feel that the current Li Chengqian is a dynamite barrel, or less contact is better, so Li Yong politely refused, It's better to teach the children with Wu Cao, because his plan must be accelerated in the current situation, Li Lizhi happily entered the palace, but when he came back, he was not very interested, and sure enough, there was something wrong! Li Yong was very curious about what else Li Chengqian could make on the night of the cave room.

"What's wrong?" Li Yong asked curiously.

Li Lizhi lay on Li Yong's shoulder and said in a low voice.

"Last night, the prince's brother and sister-in-law did not have a cave room, the prince's brother was drunk in the dormitory, and fell asleep on the desk, and the sister-in-law wanted to help but was yelled back by the prince's brother."

"The prince is really, infatuated!"

Li Yong sighed with emotion, Li Li glanced at Li Yong charmingly, although this is a compliment, but why do you feel so awkward when you hear it in your ears? In her opinion, infatuation is all about describing women, and it is strange to describe men's infatuation, not to mention describing a man's infatuation with a male pet, and receiving Li Lizhen's charming white eyes, Li Yong also knows that he said this thanks to Li Lizhen's face, if this is said in front of the emperor or queen in the palace, it is not a simple white eye, the emperor or queen is crazy when he hears the word infatuation, Li Yong coughed dryly.

"There's nothing you can do about this kind of thing, no one can help you, you can only hope that time will change everything."

Who can help with such a thing? Li Yong is also telling the truth, even if the emperor and empress are in a hurry, it is useless, Li Lizhen suddenly looked up at Li Yong, with a hint of surprise and expectation in his eyes, Li Yong looked at Li Lizhen a little inexplicably, and asked.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Li Lizhi asked mysteriously.

"Does Lang Jun still have medicinal wine?"

It turned out that she remembered the last time Li Yong and Wu Cao got married, Li Yong was drunk by Cheng Zhihei and them, but Li Yong, who couldn't wait, tore Wu Cao's dress to shreds, which shows how effective the medicinal wine is, she thinks that giving this medicinal wine to the prince will definitely work, but she didn't expect Li Lizhi to think of medicinal wine, Li Yong muttered in a low voice.

"It's definitely useful, but I don't know which way the prince will go if he drinks the medicinal wine."

Li Lizhi looked at Li Yong stunned when she heard this, if it was before, she would not have understood what this meant, but now she can understand it, it is precisely because she understands that she is stunned, Li Lizhi was stunned for a while, and her face turned red and stammered.

"Lang Jun, you, you..."

Li Yong coughed dryly.

"I think this kind of thing can't be forced, otherwise it will backfire. If you gave the crown princess medicinal wine, and the crown princess quietly gave the prince medicinal wine, have you ever thought about the consequences? ”

Consequence? Li Lizhi couldn't help but think of Wu Cao and Xiangxue, and the consequence was nothing more than that the crown princess couldn't get out of bed for a day! What's the big deal? Maybe that's what the princess craves.

"What other consequences?"

Li Lizhi asked with big eyes and confusion, and Li Yong patiently explained.

"There are two possibilities for the consequences, one is that the crown prince and the crown princess will live a happy and harmonious life without shame from now on."

Li Lizhi couldn't help but pat Li Yong lightly when she heard this, crying and laughing.

"Lang Jun is not ashamed!"

Li Yong smiled with a wink.

"Aren't we just living a happy life without shame?"

Thinking about it, it seems that this is really the case, Lang Jun is not ashamed, she is happy, if the prince's brother and sister-in-law can be like her and Lang Jun, then the father and mother can rest assured. Li Lizhi then asked.

"Lang Jun, what about the other possibility?"

Li Yong said in a deep voice.

"There is also a possibility that after the incident passes, the prince will be furious."

"Will it?"

Li Li asked weakly, the crown princess is a lively beauty! Li Yong nodded.

"Yes, and it is very likely, the consequences will be very serious, the relationship between the crown princess and the crown prince will be completely torn apart, and there will be no room for relaxation, whether it is for the crown prince or the crown princess, it will not be good."

Li Lizhi couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, she had to admit that what Li Yong said was very reasonable, originally she wanted to take the medicinal wine to give the crown princess a trick, hearing Li Yong say this, the thought in her mind immediately disappeared, Li Lizhi sighed.

"What then?"

Li Yong shook his head and said.

"To be honest, there is nothing you can do but hope that time can change all this, as for the matter of medicinal wine, don't mention it, because my father knows that Sun Daochang has medicinal wine."

Not only Li Yong thought so, but the emperor and the eldest grandson empress also thought so. I hope that with the passage of time, the prince's mood will gradually be relieved, and he will slowly like the princess, however, the eldest grandson queen and the emperor are disappointed, because although the prince and the princess live in the same dormitory, but one lives in the west and one lives in the east, it can only be blamed, the palace in the palace is too big, Li Yong entered the palace after the year, and finally saw the princess who was handpicked by the eldest grandson, dignified, beautiful, and knowledgeable, but Li Yong always felt that there was a trace of emptiness in her eyes, and the prince, Li Yong always felt that his indifferent smile covered a trace of gloom, the joy of the prince's wedding and the celebration of the New Year, finally swept away the gloomy atmosphere in the palace, just when the people of Chang'an were still immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year's celebration, far outside the Tang Dynasty, a team was braving the cold, stepping on the wind and snow to trek, this is the triumphant Hou Junji Department, they marched all the way to Gaochang Kingdom, and then immediately put into battle, invincible, like a bamboo, broke through the Gaochang King City, this is a blitzkrieg, The time of the war has not been wasted by collecting treasures and collecting white stacked flower seeds, and the size of the mighty army is not much worse than when it went out, but it seems to be a lot tired, not because of the fatigue of the war, but because of the fatigue of the road, the soldiers who went out of the battle even felt very unhappy, it was not worth it, and they had walked so far after the hard work, and as a result, Gao Changguo couldn't help fighting, and the speed of the return of the army was much slower than the speed of the expedition, and it stands to reason that the mood of triumph should make the soldiers speed up. But there are too many carriages accompanying them, the mighty carriages are too heavy, there are hundreds of carriages pulling white stacked flower seeds, and several times the carriages pulling treasures, these heavy carriages are indeed very difficult to walk in the snow, but this can not stop everyone's urgent mood to go home, Hou Junji's mood is even more urgent, because he must ensure that the seeds are transported to Chang'an before spring ploughing, otherwise the planting of white stacked flowers will be delayed, then this merit will be greatly reduced.

"Let's speed up, we must return to Chang'an before March!"

Hou Junji said in a deep voice.

"The front is Liangzhou, and it is too difficult to rush to Chang'an before March at this speed, mainly because the baggage is too heavy, which greatly slows down the speed!"

Su Dingfang shook his head and said, Xue Wanche sighed.

"Yes! The snow is muddy and difficult to walk, and at this rate, we are afraid that it will be the end of March when we arrive in Chang'an. ”

"I really hope that the cement road can be paved with all the roads in Datang as soon as possible, and there is no need to worry about rushing in the snow, and the speed can be at least several times faster."

Walking in such a snowy field, Xue Wanche missed the cement road in Lijiazhuang very much, and heard that the royal construction company was building the cement road, and he didn't know when it would be repaired to the northwest, and Hou Junji also yearned for it.

"Of course the concrete road is a good thing, but it's a pity! It won't take ten or eight years to repair the northwest! ”

Some of the generals next to him were shocked again, what is the cement road? Many of them have been staying in the border town to guard, they are no strangers to cement, whether this thing is to repair the city wall or build a house is too convenient, he has been in the border town countless times to the cement sigh, but never thought that he could use cement to build roads, he has seen cement when he thought of cement so smooth and hard, his heart suddenly excited, yes, the road built with cement is so smooth, how easy and fast the carriage walks? Although the Marquis of Huating did not accompany the army on this expedition, some border generals repeatedly heard the chief and deputy chief managers mention the Marquis of Huating, and they were both admiring and curious about the Marquis of Huating, and Hou Junji groaned.

"After arriving in Liangzhou, I will leave some baggage and travel slowly, and the most important thing is to transport the seeds of white stacked flowers to Chang'an as soon as possible, and we must not miss the spring ploughing."

In fact, Hou Junji has already calculated in his heart, if so many treasures are all transported to Chang'an in one go, they must all be sent to the treasury, but a small part will be taken out and rewarded, since the emperor attaches the most importance to the seeds of white stacked flowers, then these treasures can be manipulated There is a lot of room for manipulation, to be honest, for these treasures, Hou Junji is very hot, and he intercepted a lot when he registered and made the register, for which he even forced King Gaochang to death, anyway, the credit of capturing and sending King Gaochang to Chang'an is just icing on the cake, it is better to kill King Gaochang, In this way, no one will go to the emperor to complain, and as for the generals in the army, whose pockets are not bulging? He Hou Junji is not a stingy person, he will also let the generals drink soup when he eats meat, and this soup has to be drunk if he doesn't drink it, so he has long planned to leave most of the carriages transporting treasures from the army after entering Liangzhou, leave them behind, and then rush to Chang'an with only the seeds of white stacked flowers, so that he can not only ensure that he returns to Chang'an early, but also disperse the treasures behind, Xue Wanche and Su Dingfang couldn't help but nod, if they left behind those spoils, the speed of the march would be much faster, At least in early March, we can get to Chang'an.

"After entering Liangzhou, I immediately sent cavalry to Chang'an to report the victory, but unfortunately I failed to report the victory before the end of the year."

Hou Junji said excitedly, hurry up to report the victory before the end of the year? That's impossible, Xue Wanche and Su Dingfang both shook their heads, it's not that the soldiers don't fight well, it's really too far, the New Year is about to start spring, Li Yong's attention has also shifted from the matter in the palace to the matter of Hou Junji's expedition, compared to the matter in the East Palace, Li Yong still feels that this matter is more important, after all, this is related to millions or even tens of millions of people no longer being frozen in the cold winter, and it is also related to whether the development and development of firearms will go smoothly, compared with this, Li Yong felt that the crown prince and the princess were not worth mentioning whether they were in a hole or not, so Li Yong was anxiously waiting for the result, in fact, there was someone in Chang'an who was more anxious than Li Yong, that is, Wei Zheng, after the winter, Wei Zheng once wore the coarse cloth cotton jacket that was regarded as a treasure by the emperor in the palace and felt it again, which made him more recognize the effect of white stacked flowers to keep warm, this winter he sighed more than once, why didn't Datang get white stacked flowers earlier?
