After Yaoyao left, the hostility in Li Jingzhong gradually dissipated. Li Sixu hid behind the bushes and saw tears in the corners of Li Jingzhong's eyes illuminated by the light.
Just when she didn't know whether to show up, Li Jingzhong turned his eyes to the bushes where she and Li Linhuai were hiding, and then turned around and left.
Li Sixu came out from behind the bushes and called to him: "You lured me and General Li to watch this show. Why are you playing hard to get?"
The tears in the corners of Li Jingzhong's eyes disappeared, and he returned to a sinister and cold look.
"Since the princess has guessed it all, there is no need for me to beat around the bush."
Li Jingzhong paid her a courtesy and then said: "I heard that the head of the Lin family, who is engaged in maritime trade in Quanzhou, was summoned to the capital by the princess and will return to Quanzhou soon."
"I think the princess has reached some kind of agreement with the Lin family. She wants the Lin family to help build ships in Quanzhou and hire talented people who go to sea. And these need a confidant to keep an eye on for the princess."
"This slave wants to be this guy!"
After Li Jingzhong said these words, he looked at Li Sixu without averting his eyes.
Li Sixu somewhat admired the courage of the guy in front of her. Ever since she met him in Imperial Doctor Shu, she felt that there was a ferocious beast lurking in his body.
Over the years, his feeling for Li Sixu has not changed.
Logically speaking, Yaoyao had been practicing in front of her mother and concubine for so long and had been practicing martial arts diligently, so she should be able to beat him, but no.
Yaoyao is growing up, and this guy is also growing up next to Third Brother.
With the way he used Yaoyao to lure him and Li Linhuai, he was not afraid of the pressure unleashed by a general like Li Linhuai, and he could also detect where she and Li Linhuai were hiding. He also knew that whether it was strategy or character, Yaoyao could compare with him. , still the little white flower when I was young.
He stated his purpose so straightforwardly that Li Sixu smiled: "Why do you think I want to promise you?"
"For the sake of Yaoyao, the princess should agree, right?"
Li Jingzhong asked her: "What kind of thoughts does Yaoyao have about this servant who has no roots? The princess has also seen it. If it is not stopped, the most powerful female official around the imperial concubine will become a prey to the confidant of the third prince. His highness the prince will do something." What do you think?"
"Although Yaoyao is just a female official, I know that the imperial concubine has always loved her as half a daughter. Even the princess has never treated her like a human being."
Li Jingzhong's expression remained calm: "She has practiced martial arts diligently over the years. Gao Niangniang has carefully taught her poetry and literature, and Aunt Wei has taught her how to make incense for the palace. Could it be that the person who was so carefully cultivated by Ganlu Palace was just to provide a slave like this?" He who sows without roots is the right food?"
"Princess, she deserves a good home. That person can't be a slave!"
Li Jingzhong said in a low voice: "With that said, I will return to Prince Zhong's Mansion to wait for news about the princess."
A gust of breeze blew by, and the bamboos beside the bushes of Prince Shou's Mansion rustled. The wind blew up the hem of Li Jingzhong's clothes, and his back turned and left a little desolate.
But he stubbornly straightened his back, unwilling to expose the fragility in his heart.
Li Sixu sighed: "Li Jingzhong, don't you regret it?"
"Can this slave still regret it?"
When he was young and ignorant, he thought that by staying close to her and protecting her, he would not let her be bullied.
So at that time, he didn't understand the princess's good intentions in arranging for him to study medicine at the Imperial Medical Office. He felt that it was nothing to lose a piece of flesh on his body, as long as he could protect Yuanyuan and prevent her from being bullied.
The truth is, he can't do anything in the palace.
Daming Palace is too big, but he is too small.
Hearing what the princess sighed and asked, Li Jingzhong paused: "Princess, from the moment I decided to enter the palace to follow the third prince, the road between me and her has long been cut off."
Feeling that his eyes were wet, he didn't even dare to look back and walked forward.
Looking at the person who pretended to be calm but seemed to be running away, Li Sixu sighed quietly again: "What is love in the world? Sisi gave him a chance, but he didn't seize it until he followed San After my brother died, Sisi didn’t know that he had entered the palace until then.”
Things in the world are unpredictable, and there are always things that you can't get even though you try your best.
Li Linhuai didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, so he could only gently hold her back and hug her.
He said in a hoarse voice: "Although today's matter was brought by the general and the princess from afar, he was able to detect where the minister and the princess were hiding. This shows that Li Jingzhong's martial arts are not weak."
"Yaoyao is the most powerful person around the imperial concubine. I want to compete with him."
"He was clearly trapped by love, but he was still able to make a quick decision and choose to leave Chang'an City. This person acted ruthlessly, even to himself."
"What he just said analyzed the situation in the Daming Palace and made it clear that the third prince has no intention of competing for the throne, which shows that he is very strategic."
"He has a good brain, a tough heart, and is ruthless to himself. He is a character."
After Li Linhuai finished his analysis, he asked Li Sixu: "He is a suitable candidate. Will the princess agree to him?"
Could he not be a person?
He was supposed to be the one who took advantage of the Anshi Rebellion to help his third brother win the throne, control the government as a eunuch, and be crowned king and prime minister.
She tried her best to stop him at first, but she didn't expect that he would still enter the palace and follow her third brother.
Just because of Yuanyuan, the trajectory he was supposed to walk on deviated, and he had the idea of leaving Chang'an to follow her sailing trade.
Without the recurrence of Concubine Wu Hui's frame-up of the prince's brother, the third brother had no intention of competing for the throne. This person was indeed the best person to help her sail.
But, if he leaves Chang'an, Yaoyao will be sad, right?
Li Sixu couldn't make a choice for a moment, she leaned on Li Linhuai's chest: "Sisi wants to think again..."
After the prince gets married, he has to go to the palace to see him the next day.
The emperor planned to return to the imperial study after the morning court, but as soon as he left the Qinzheng Palace, he saw Li Hao holding Princess Xianyi's hand standing in the corridor.
Considering that Li Mao was very willing to get close to him and was able to handle things clearly, the emperor had some affection for the prince who had lost his mother and concubine. What's more, Xian Yi grew up under his and the queen's watch.
Seeing their brother and sister approaching, Xuanzong took Xianyi's hand and said, "You shouldn't accompany the bride to see the queen today, so why did you bring Xianyi to me instead?"
"Xian Yi knows that the queen mother has been ill these past few days. The imperial brother took his beautiful sister-in-law to sit for a while in Nanxun Hall, and then accompanied his sister-in-law to Ganlu Hall to meet the imperial concubine."
With an innocent look on his face, Xian Yi raised his head and smiled at Xuan Zong: "The imperial concubine and her sister-in-law hit it off immediately, and they even talked about the music and piano skills. They were playing the piano in the Ganlu Hall, and the emperor took Xian Yi to find the father."
Xian Yi's small mouth kept blaring, and Li Hao touched her smooth forehead: "You are the only one who is smart enough to steal everything that you want to say. Let your emperor brother say what is good."
