Luzhou City, Luzhou County Prince's Mansion.
Li Daoliang, the prince of Luzhou County, who was more of a scholar and poet than a prince, was holding another literary meeting in his mansion, where he competed with some famous scholars and poets near Luzhou by reciting poems. It was very elegant.
But the lively atmosphere was quickly disrupted.
"Old man, come out here!"
Hearing the words of an old man that was very harsh and that he did not put Luzhou County Prince in his eyes, the literati in the courtyard couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Who is this? So bold? How dare you say that the King of Luzhou County is an old man?
Even if they didn't take Luzhou County Prince Li Daoliang seriously, they wouldn't dare to yell at him and call him old man!
Although they, the literati, do not pay attention to Li Daoliang, it is because they do not pay attention to poems and songs. For those of them who are familiar with poetry and books and recite poems and poems every day, this article by Li Daoliang, the prince of Luzhou County, is very important. What the hell is this!
Although you like to recite poetry and write poems in an arty way, you feel that you are doing well for those with average literary talents, but for those who are real literary people, you are not the same.
However, although they were still friendly on the surface, secretly they looked down on Li Daoliang, who had become such a status through his relatives.
Although I looked down on him a bit, when such a change happened, I still muttered there immediately.
"What's going on? Why are there still people yelling in the palace?"
However, when they were so confused, Li Daoliang's face did look a little unnatural.
"Don't worry, your daughter, Princess Anbei, is back. It really makes you laugh."
When Princess Abe was mentioned, everyone present couldn't help but sigh.
King Anbei, this is a scholar they really admire.
Yes, in their impression, Xu Yunyan was a representative of literati.
Didn't you see that Xu Yunyan is so skinny that he doesn't look like those military generals with a strong appearance? On the contrary, it is similar to them.
What's more, the reputation of this living literary saint is recognized by everyone. Whether it is poems, songs, or articles, the things he writes are beyond their imagination. Even if they rack their brains, they can't write such articles.
They admired King Anbei very much, which made them even more fond of each other when they heard that he was Princess Anbei. But when I thought that Princess Anbei said that he was an old man, everyone laughed again. stand up.
Li Daoliang and the others looked down upon him, even though he could become a king, but without any merit, he became a king just by virtue of his status, and he was despised by them.
But just as these people looked at Li Daoliang shaking his head and sighing, thinking that the old man his daughter spoke of was very good, wonderful, and in line with the situation at hand, Li Daoliang's face became very ugly.
However, Li Daoliang looked a little embarrassed when he saw Li Xin, Princess Anbei of Luohe County, who had entered the hall where he was.
"My precious daughter, please save some face for your father, who is yelling..."
Li Daoliang did not dare to talk about his daughter in an overly strong tone. This was not only because his son Li Chengcheng, under the leadership of his son-in-law, went on to become a military general, but he also did so successfully, which made him very proud. Rejoiced.
What's more, the gossip he had was secretly sent to him by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his relative the Emperor.
It is possible that his son-in-law is not yet dead.
However, please keep it confidential. You cannot publicize anything too much until you get the exact information.
Li Daoliang saw that his daughter was a bit weak, and wanted his daughter to save some face for him in front of this man of letters.
However, this is Li Xin's true biography. Although he and Xu Yunyan did not spend much time together, it was impossible to recite poems and compose poems when they were together. Only Xu Yunyan entertained Li with his later brain teasers. Xin, Li Xin didn't care about anything. Instead, she looked at Li Daoliang and started talking.
"Father."
Li Xin didn’t call him “Father King”, nor did Li Daoliang.
Not daring to have any dissatisfaction, he looked at his daughter and sighed, agreeing. When Li Xin saw that his father had agreed, he hurriedly spoke again. .
"I respected you just now."
It's just that when this respect appeared on the scene, some people couldn't help but grin, but they also knew that they were losing their temper and hurriedly used other things to cover it up.
The scene of reciting poetry was arty, and there was something to eat and drink anyway, so he hurriedly ate and drank something to temporarily disguise his weird expression.
As for some people who ate the food indiscriminately, or were forced to wolf it down, they really wanted to laugh, so they had to cough a few times.
It's normal to choke.
But Li Daoliang's face felt a little hot when he looked at the scene in front of him.
"Do you respect me?"
He thought about the old man who didn't say anything, but Li Xin shouted again, "Old man, don't I respect you?"
Li Xin shouted "Old Man" openly and openly. Li Daoliang wanted to dig a crack in the ground to crawl in and let himself die. How could anyone cheat his father like this?
Still in front of so many literati.
However, Li Daoliang's face was very ugly. Li Xin in front of her did not care about his ugly face, but spoke directly.
"Old man, don't I respect you? The old man obeys and the leader respects you. How much I respect you!"
"Um? That seems to make sense."
All the scholars present touched their beards and agreed with Li Xin's words. When separated, the two words are indeed an honorific title, and "tou" is indeed an honorific title. Taken together, the old man is full of respect.
But is this the actual situation?
Everyone sighed heavily. It was originally a good thing, but I don't know why it fell into their mouths and became such a funny and helpless thing.
Although the old man's matter was constantly changing in everyone's minds, Li Daoliang could not let the old man's matter continue to brew in their hearts, so as not to lose his old face, and had no choice but to look at them and ask.
"If you don't have anything to do, please wait here for a while. I'll excuse you for now.
But don’t worry, I’ll comfort my daughter and come over immediately, and I’ll make amends to you when I come back. "
This time, Li Daoliang's face was a bit humiliated, and he no longer claimed to be a loner in front of them. He said, "I'm going to fly away" and walked towards the door, trying to pull his daughter away from the hall, but his daughter Li Daoliang was not given a chance to leave at all. Instead, he started talking directly on the spot.
"Father, I have something to ask you."
Li Daoliang looked at her and comforted her as if he was worried about something.
"My good daughter, if you have anything to say, just say it, but with so many uncles here now, I'm afraid you might say something shocking. We'd better go to the side to discuss it. How about that?"
Li Daoliang looked at his daughter carefully, not to say any shocking remarks, let alone say anything that would make him embarrassed. After the name Li Ying lingered in his mind again, Li Daoliang was extremely worried. You are anxious, but you must not involve your son-in-law.
There are some things that he hides from his daughter. It’s not that he doesn’t want his daughter and his son-in-law to get back together, but that he hasn’t determined these things yet. If his daughter runs out recklessly, his Her son has not returned from Dongzhou. Should he accompany her to the west, or should he let her go by herself?
I look like a weak scholar who cannot enter the battle or kill the enemy, even if he is of the Li Tang clan bloodline, but what is the actual situation? If others don’t know it, why don’t you know it yourself? Although he looks very powerful, he can't take it seriously.
Just when Li Daoliang was thinking about the matter in front of him so worriedly and finally pulled his daughter out of the hall, Li Xin gave him some face and asked directly outside the hall.
"Father, tell me, my
Is my husband still alive? "
After Li Xin asked this question, Li Daoliang suddenly stopped, looked around, then quietly pulled Li Xin and walked away looking to the side. This action was like a thief, which made Li Xin extremely unhappy. He broke away from Li Daoliang's hand and said loudly.
"Father, please tell me what happened to my husband."
This time Li Xin's voice was louder, and she still had her hands on her hips, looking like a tigress. Seeing Li Xin's appearance, Li Daoliang was frightened, and hurriedly raised his hands and clasped his fists in front of him.
"Little ancestor, please keep your voice down, there are some things that others cannot hear."
Under Li Daoliang's compliments, Li Xin finally calmed down, but taking advantage of Li Daoliang's respectful bows and compliments, she stretched out a hand to grab his hair.
"Speak quickly. If you don't tell me clearly, I will pull out all the hair on your head. By then, your most important appearance will no longer exist."
As Li Xin spoke, he made a move to pull the hair off his father's head. This frightened Li Daoliang and he hurriedly spoke in front of them.
"My dear daughter, please forgive me. I'll tell you what I said. Your Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince have arranged to send information. There are traces of someone suspected to be King Anbei in the west, but it has not been confirmed yet whether he is your husband. If you My husband is doing well in the west, why doesn’t he come back?”
After Li Daoliang said these words, Li Xin's eyes lit up.
"Now that you have received such news and you haven't told me, what are your intentions?"
Li Daoliang was scolded by Li Xin again, without the dignity of his father, and finally said weakly.
"Aren't I afraid that you will worry? What's more, I only have you as my precious daughter and my precious son-in-law. How dare I tell you when I don't have any information to confirm that my son-in-law is fine? What if you also I ran to the west, what should I do?"
Li Daoliang's words seemed to remind Li Xin.
"Yes, I'm going to the west. I want to see if he is my husband. If others don't know him, why don't I know him?"
When Li Daoliang heard what Li Xin said, he slapped himself.
"What a sin. Why did you suddenly say what you were thinking? Looking at your daughter, you didn't have such a plan at first. But now that you have such a plan, what should you do?"
But just when Li Xin was so entangled, a guard approached cautiously.
"My lord."
After the guard asked, Li Daoliang looked at him curiously, "Why are you here?"
The guard looked at Li Daoliang and said something hesitantly.
"The prince is the princess. The princess asked us to prepare a carriage for her to return to Chang'an."
"Oh, is that so?"
Li Daoliang couldn't help but feel happy when he heard that Li Xin was going back to Chang'an.
"Daughter, it's not bad to go back to Chang'an. How about letting them escort you back to Chang'an City? Maybe His Royal Highness's Tiance Guards have figured out the situation and there will be good news when you return to Chang'an City?"
