CHAPTER XXXV
"It's time for Your Highness to get up and get dressed."
Shi Ying knocked on the door outside and called softly.
Li Xinghe stretched his waist, answered, and after washing, he walked to the dresser.
At this time, Shi Ying also pushed the door in, and saw Li Xinghe sitting in front of the bronze mirror obediently, and his delicate face was even more pitiful, and he praised a few words and began to dress up for Li Xinghe.
"It's good to dress up casually, anyway, this poetry meeting doesn't have anything to do with our Chongming Palace."
Li Xinghe was lying on the dresser, his plain white jade fingers poking the gems set on the mirror table boringly. She really doesn't want to go, it's not fragrant to sleep in, melancholy.
Shi Ying tied her knee-length hair in a bun between her heads, and fixed it with a high-quality six-inch exquisite hosta, and her slightly loose sideburns made her more and more delicate, her eyebrows swiped, and finally outlined her red rouge lips.
After changing his clothes, Li Xinghe glanced at himself in the bronze mirror, and poked his pink cheeks again, this is himself.
Sure enough, people rely on clothes, of course, Shi Ying's makeup skills are indispensable, if it is placed in modern times, Shi Ying is a gold medal makeup artist.
When the door opened, I saw a young man with a long body and a petite and lovely girl gathered together, with their heads lowered as if to say something, and their expressions were quite intimate.
In the past few days of getting along, the relationship between Li Chengde and Mu Yaoyao has grown by leaps and bounds, and Li Chengde also explained to himself that the person he likes is just a fiction of his mind, and Li Xinghe doesn't care much about it.
But young people, their energy is always vigorous, looking at the eye-catching picture of the talented woman in front of him, Li Xinghe couldn't help but show an aunt-like smile, his CP is sweet!
Shi Ying on the side coughed lightly, only to attract the attention of the two,
When the two saw Li Xinghe walking out, they hurriedly stepped forward and stayed by Li Xinghe's side, but they were still talking about the topic just now.
What to do, she thinks she can be an aunt directly, she even thinks of her nephew's name.
"Your Highness, if you don't set off again, I'm afraid you will miss the hour."
Shi Ying's voice pulled Li Xinghe out of his thoughts, no way, Li Xinghe's eyes just now were really a little stupid.
Compared with her beautiful face, Shi Ying always felt that it was a violent thing, so she couldn't help but remind her.
When he came back to his senses, Li Xinghe remembered what he was going to do, this poetry meeting was held in the imperial garden of the palace, and it was indeed some distance from the Chongming Palace, and it was time to set off when the hour was not early.
When the carriage reached the Suzaku Gate, it could no longer move forward, and when Li Jingchen got out of the carriage, a little eunuch who led the way came to meet him.
Along the way, there are countless carved beams and paintings. Five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion. The corridor waist is back, and the eaves teeth are high pecked. The glazed tiles of the vermilion wall, the willow white jade fence.
Around the corner, Li Jingchen and Pei Shao happened to meet each other, and the two of them naturally met in Yuan Qi, so they greeted each other.
Pei Shao's limbs were a little stiff, he had practiced martial arts for several years, and the actions of the literati and scholars really made him a little unbearable.
The mission has always been headed by the chief envoy, but now there is no figure of the chief envoy Luo, and Li Jingchen has doubts in his heart. But his face was impassive, as if he asked unintentionally,
"Why don't you see Lord Luo, only Master Pei goes to the banquet alone."
Pei Shaopi didn't smile, he took the literati's rhetoric, and said calmly,
"Lord Luo occasionally felt the cold, and he was afraid that he would not be able to attend this poetry meeting, so he was left to the contemptible people."
Li nodded in surprise, and said lukewarmly that the adults worked hard, and then there was no follow-up.
Pei Shao didn't want to delay here for a long time, he still had to arrive at the place agreed with others before the banquet started, and parted ways with Li Jingchen under the pretext of convenience.
Staring at Pei Shao's back, Li Jingchen remembered that when the two met for the first time, Pei Shao's shoulders were not so broad. Stretched out his hand and measured it, this is by no means the size that a weak scholar should have, but like a practitioner.
Li Jingchen squinted his eyes and held his chin, feeling a little tired here. But more is better than less, and it's not a good thing to be too curious.
Turning around, Li Jingchen continued to walk with the leading eunuch, watching Tianlan's palace.
Pei Shao avoided crowded places all the way, walked more and more afar, and came to a palace that had been abandoned for a long time.
Squeak - the dilapidated door was pushed open, and there were two people standing in the hall, it was Li Chengren, the second prince of the dynasty, and Xiao Fu, the prince.
Xiao Fu introduced their respective identities to each other for the two, Pei Shao didn't talk much nonsense, and planned to get straight to the point, but he didn't think that it was Li Chengren who started talking first.
"I heard Taishi Xiao say that you want to make a deal with His Royal Highness, what kind of deal do you have to borrow poetry to meet His Royal Highness in the palace."
Pei Shao lowered the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and sure enough, as Chu Huaichen expected, these two princes were really easy to take the bait.
Pretending to be afraid, Pei Shao lowered his head, his dark eyes made it difficult to distinguish his expression, and said in a low voice,
"This matter is very important, and the Tianlan Palace is still guarded by Lord Rong Cheng, the No. 1 secret agent in Kyushu, and the foreign ministers did not dare to take risks, so they made this decision to meet His Highness with the hands of the Grand Master."
Li Chengren waved his hand impatiently and motioned for him to continue,
"The foreign minister had already heard about the status of His Royal Highness in the court, so he asked Taishi Xiao to make a deal with His Highness. The foreign minister also recently learned that the Emperor Yuan Qi would send a killer to assassinate the emperor at the birthday banquet, and then there would be a reason to start a war, and our mission would be reduced to a tribute to the pre-war sacrifice flag. ”
Li Chengren and Xiao Fu both had a big change in their faces, and they assassinated the king of a country, this Chu Huaichen's courage was not small. The corners of Li Chengren's eyes were slightly raised, and he retracted his original carelessness, but asked with some suspicion,
"You are the official of the Yuan Qi court, if there is no sufficient evidence, this palace will not be stupid enough to believe the nonsense of a courtier of an enemy country."
Pei Shao nodded again and again, and hurriedly took out the letter in his arms, for fear that Li Chengren and the others would not believe what they said.
Xiao Fu took the letter, and it was written on it that it was a detailed arrangement of the assassination operation, and the gilded and cumbersome pattern symbolizing the Yuan Qi royal family was printed in the lower left corner, and the handwriting was indeed Chu Huaichen's.
This letter is true!
Thinking about Xiao Fu's expression, Li Chengren naturally understood the meaning of shock in his eyes, and then asked,
"The content of your transaction is to leave Shangjing safely after the incident, if this is the case, won't Yuan Qi chase you to the ends of the earth?"
"This is not to be bothered by His Royal Highness Er, if I can escape from Shangjing, I will have our own place to go, Your Highness asked like this, but agreed?"
Pei Shao was sure that Li Chengren was shaken in his heart, but he still asked cautiously on his face.
Li Chengren and Xiao Fu glanced at each other, and both of them understood the killing intent in each other's eyes, and the Yuanqi delegation could not stay.
