Wearing armor and riding horses, the army marched on the galloping road. Looking at the harvested crops on both sides, Li Pingyuan grinned.
"Dad, let's go back to Chengguo directly. Why don't we pick up the second sister?" Li Chengzhi was beside him and there was no one around them. Li Chengzhi whispered.
"How dare I go to the Kingdom of Yu now? I'm going to recover my life now, and then quickly report my illness and withdraw from everyone's sight!" Li Pingyuan's smile disappeared. His heart twitched when he thought of receiving the letter, especially being humiliated by the immortal in public. Your family is considered to be high-ranking. , he lost all face, and the generals advised him afterwards to accept what the immortal said.
Can someone with the appearance of a dragon and phoenix do whatever he wants? Do you think you are the emperor?
Li Pingyuan felt unhappy, but he vaguely felt that what the Immortal said was right. After all, the Immortal had real abilities. He was not the domestic guy who talks about Taoist scriptures. He was someone who really used magic weapons to kill monsters.
Then after thinking about it, the letter said that it was his daughter who invited him to the mansion, and then the proud daughter didn't react when he was held in his hand. Finally, she didn't respond when he slept in her daughter's room, and even let him stay in the mansion.
My daughter has acquiesced and decided to be a bad person, but it is impossible to go to Yu State without expressing her stance. She might as well return to Cheng State to resume her life.
Let her make trouble, she can make trouble as much as she wants, as long as she is happy.
Speaking of which, he was also the first man who caught her eye. They didn't like each other before. He thought that this daughter was going to die alone. How could this be worthy of her deceased friend? Now that she has her own ideas, she pretends to be too Busy, sick, no time to care.
"Just ignore the second sister?" Li Chengzhi felt bad. He wanted to rush to the Yu Kingdom to beat up Zhuang Xun and make him sleep in the boudoir's room without knowing the etiquette.
"Why do you want to take care of it? How about I let you go to the Yu Kingdom and you go take care of it. I want to know what your second sister looks like when she protects food. Are you going to mess with her?" Li Pingyuan glanced at Li Chengzhi and looked at him as a fool. Looking at him with eyes, he is indeed his stupid son, and it is true.
As a father, you can still tell me, what do you want to do as a younger brother?
"Uh, dad, forget it, the second sister can do whatever she wants. The immortal has judged her to be a dragon and a phoenix, so our family is not at a loss." When Li Chengzhi heard what Li Pingyuan said, he was stunned at first, probably Thinking of Li Rusi's daily "teachings" to him, he immediately changed his attitude and even sympathized with Zhuang Xun, who was attracted by Li Rusi.
"What's not a loss? Your sister is going to be someone else's concubine. You're still not a loss. You're going to piss me off. With such a dragon and phoenix appearance, can he still be the emperor of the Yu Kingdom?" Li Pingyuan looked at this. The stupid son gets angry. How do you say this? You tacitly agree that our family is trying to outdo each other, right?
"If she wants to, you can't stop her, Dad. The second sister, like the eldest sister, is a person with ideas." Li Chengzhi said the truth, but it didn't quite sit well with him.
Sure enough, Li Pingyuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. If there wasn't a certain distance between the two horses, he would have raised his whip to hit someone.
Seemingly sensing that something was wrong with his old father's gloomy face and the atmosphere, Li Chengzhi lightly lifted the reins and stepped aside to move away from Li Pingyuan.
Intuitively, the sense of danger is quite accurate.
His concession made Li Pingyuan feel a little better. He was very happy that he had won, but now he was very upset by such a bad thing.
The posture of dragon and phoenix, the posture of dragon and phoenix, the posture of bullshit dragon and phoenix, Li Pingyuan cursed in his heart, his daughter went to rob a married man, it was the greatest tolerance for him to ignore her.
"Report, General, the emperor has issued an order to greet the general in triumph outside Jidu tomorrow. Please suspend the march." The messenger stopped Li Pingyuan.
"Understood, the front army will stop, the middle and rear armies will continue to advance, and report back to Jidu." Li Pingyuan said according to the imperial edict.
Some people will be stationed there to perform the ceremony tomorrow, while the other people will continue to march back to Jidu to reunite with their relatives and children.
Take part of the army and set up camp, waiting for action tomorrow.
"Dad, His Majesty actually came to greet you." Li Chengzhi said excitedly in the tent, his expression beaming with joy.
What an honor it was. The emperor personally welcomed the victorious general. The main reason was that the emperor was the kind of person who ignored political affairs, which was enough to show that he valued Li Pingyuan.
"It's not good to take it too seriously. Your Majesty may feel threatened. I'm going to get sick in the future. You go and cause some trouble." The screen retreated to the left and right, and Li Pingyuan sat on the arranged wooden bed with a solemn expression.
This is not something to be happy about. On the contrary, the emperor who ignored the government's affairs suddenly made such a gesture, indicating that he was also shocked by his own achievements.
"Ah, how could it be possible? The Holy Emperor has gone out of the city to greet dad. Isn't this a sign of great favor?" Li Pingyuan was stunned.
"The next step is to collect evidence of rebellion, and then hold you and me accountable. Although your Majesty is addicted to Taoism, he still has the basic imperial mentality." Li Pingyuan's tone was indifferent, with a cold tone, and he was not satisfied with this kind of treatment. .
"It's so serious. You shouldn't be cautious. Why do you want me to get into trouble?" Li Chengzhi was startled, his eyes widened, and he couldn't understand. He also panicked. He had obviously won, so why did he feel more dangerous than losing? .
"The only way to get rid of the title is to get into trouble. The credit for wiping out the Youguo army this time is too great. No matter how we divide it up, your father and I will take the lion's share. When the Duke of the country has no title, you go and cause trouble, so you can use the credit to give me the title." If you do your job peacefully, your achievements will not shake up the master." Li Pingyuan had a clear mind and could not act arbitrarily. Only Li Chengzhi could pretend to have merit for a day and want to cause trouble for others and cause trouble for himself.
"But I don't know how to get into trouble." Li Chengzhi grimaced, looking at a loss as to what constitutes getting into trouble and how to get into trouble.
"This is not easy. It would be great to beat up the nobles who you usually dislike. I think you are quite capable." Li Pingyuan looked at Li Chengzhi who didn't know how to get into trouble, and snorted coldly. Said once.
"It's a good relationship, but there are a lot of people I'm unhappy with, but what if I can't beat them?" That's a shame, but it's a huge loss.
"Then come back and let me beat you again. After practicing martial arts for so long and you still can't beat these princes and nobles, I will give you some guidance in martial arts to see if you are indulged in the service of the maids all day long. , Regressed." Li Ping glanced at Li Chengzhi from afar.
Li Chengzhi chuckled and did not dare to respond directly to Li Pingyuan's question.
"Forget it, the performance this time was pretty good, and there were no flaws in the tactics." Li Pingyuan saw Li Pingyuan's appearance and originally wanted to scold him, but thinking of Li Chengzhi's performance this time, he went around and recaptured the pass. Cutting off Youguo's retreat and providing food and grass in one fell swoop was a great achievement.
"We are being frightened. Sister, I think it will be fine." Li Chengzhi is careless and cares deeply about his family.
"Your sister is smarter than you. She knows much better than you about any situation. She will definitely stay at home and practice Taoism at home."
Li Pingyuan is still very confident about his eldest daughter. As he said, Li Chengzhi's IQ may have really been eaten up by his eldest daughter. Li Shaoyun is so smart (and full of scheming). In such a situation, you will definitely not get carried away, but will become cautious as Li Chengzhi said.
"What? Why doesn't she have to get into trouble? I'm going to take the blame." Li Chengzhi said unconvinced that he would be asked to get into trouble by his dad if he was too cautious. Although getting into trouble sounds great, my sister's caution makes her smart.
"Can it be the same? She is in the palace, and there are so many pairs of eyes staring at her. The rules of the palace are different from the rules outside. The palace is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den." Li Pingyuan sighed, feeling more and more sorry for his eldest daughter.
"It would be great if the eldest sister didn't enter the palace through the draft. If Chengguo can't stay here, we can just run away. With your achievements, where can you go?" Li Chengzhi said impatiently.
"Then I am different from that common man Siqin Shengjing." Li Pingyuan smiled. This kind of traitor belongs to the bottom of the contempt chain in the world's values.
"That's different. He ran away with his army before the battle. We just ran away on our own. It's impossible for the emperor to harm us, so why should we just stay there and let him harm us?"
Li Chengzhi said differently that all countries are in conflict and all nine states belong to the same country. If you can't stay in one country, it's okay to go to another country. But you can't take things that are harmful to the mother country and go to the enemy, like Siqin Shengjing did with a large army to go to the enemy. That would really be scolded by the whole world for being unfaithful and unjust.
"It's rare to say a kind word. It's not good to sit back and wait for death. But do you think you can run away now? Siqin Shengjing can run away. Looking at the situation in Youguo, we will need the help of gods, ghosts and monsters. Our family wants to escape intact. , how can it be so easy, and there is still your eldest sister in the palace, so it is impossible for you to be as shameless as the Si Qin family and run away by yourself, leaving behind your married daughter."
Li Pingyuan made no secret of his disdain. Siqin Shengjing's behavior was not only disgusting for leading the army to surrender to the enemy, but also the act of running away with his family and marrying a concubine was even more shameful.
"That's it. If the emperor dies, then all the palace concubines will be sent to the temple for retirement, and then the eldest sister can be taken away." Li Chengzhi said straightforwardly.
"Be careful, is this what you should say?" Li Pingyuan slapped Li Chengzhi on the helmet, making his brain buzz.
"Dad, I'm going to be stupid, I'm really going to be stupid." Li Chengzhi covered his mouth and pulled his head back.
"You're already stupid. How dare you say such nonsense?" Li Pingyuan looked at Li Chengzhi who was speaking freely and felt that he had no energy left. He hoped that if you get into trouble, you would get into trouble with your actions, not with your words.
"I don't understand. Although my father has done great things, why do we feel that our family is still in danger? This kind of emperor shouldn't die? Can someone replace him with a wise man?" Li Chengzhi said angrily after taking two steps back, fearing that Li Pingyuan would hit him. , he took two more steps back.
"You have to understand, and I can rest assured that the emperor is actually right. Any emperor who is not stupid would be like this."
Li Pingyuan took a deep breath. It's not like this kind of emperor who doesn't care about things all day has never thought about rebelling and changing the country. But what if the rebellion is successful? If the country is left to a fool like Li Chengzhi, isn't it just a matter of decades? Changing it is completely meaningless and will ruin your reputation.
It is better to leave a reputation of loyalty and bravery and leave a reputation guarantee for Li Chengzhi and his descendants. Everyone knows that the Li family has been loyal for generations and will treat him well even if he is not reused.
"I don't understand. I just don't understand. Just you and the eldest sister understand. I'm going to read the book of war." Li Chengzhi felt that he couldn't communicate with Li Pingyuan, and he was afraid that Li Pingyuan would hit him, so he ran away looking for an excuse. , leaving Li Pingyuan to calm down and think carefully.
"Shao Yun..." Li Pingyuan sighed.
At this moment, Jiao'an Palace has a gorgeous palace. It is obviously not a coastal country, but whale oil candles are burning in the palace, illuminating the entire palace brightly.
Gold and silver utensils, pearls, jade, glazed silk and satin, the whole palace looks magnificent. I am afraid that the maid will spend a lot of time cleaning these items every day.
Compared with the dazzling and beautiful palace, the beauty kneeling on the futon is extremely simple. The simple wooden hairpin restrains the waterfall of green hair. She is not decorated with pink and white, pure and pure, but there is a hint of plain color. Charming, because of her pair of clear black and white fox eyes, which are affectionate, and you will be intoxicated after one more look. Her thick and thin red lips are charming even if you smile lightly.
Her figure is slender, but the twigs bear fruit. The loose Taoist robe cannot hide her majestic snow-capped peaks. She is kneeling on the futon. The tight Taoist robe makes her look round and plump, outlining a ripe and delicious peach. Her graceful appearance Chuoyue is an independent mountain fairy who is pure, mature and has a fairy spirit.
"Your Majesty, it's time to eat." The serving maid reminded softly, interrupting Li Shaoyun who was mumbling something.
"Yangmei, what time is it?" Li Shaoyun put down the scripture with her bare hands and asked slightly tiredly.
"It's noon, Madam." He helped Li Shaoyun stand up, only to realize that she was actually tall, much taller than the maid.
"Your Majesty went to the Taoist temple again today?" Li Shaoyun was helped to sit down. Li Shaoyun adjusted the Taoist robe to straighten herself.
"No, I went to Queen Wang's palace to see the prince." Yang Mei brought a cup of ginseng tea and placed it in front of Li Shaoyun.
"Prince? Forget it." Li Shaoyun picked up the ginseng tea and looked at it. The color of the tea could vaguely see her independent and charming face in the floating light.
"Many concubines have sent gifts. Do you want to accept them or return them?" Yang Mei reported her work. As a noble concubine, Jiao'an Palace has jurisdiction over fifty or sixty people. There are many things that Yang Mei, as a personal palace maid, cannot handle, so she can only ask The concubine Li Shaoyun is determined.
"Take it, otherwise they will have to think too much, which is a troublesome thing." After taking a sip of ginseng tea, the beautiful woman gave orders. The fairy's sense of elegance was less, and she was more lazy than the noble lady.
"Okay, I'll let everyone take it now. Do you think the food is about to be served?" Yang Mei asked carefully as Li Shaoyun put down the ginseng tea.
"Slow down, go get the letter first." Li Shaoyun was not in the mood for eating as her fingers tapped on the table.
"Yes." Yang Mei walked out of the palace quickly, and Li Shaoyun picked up the ginseng tea and took a sip. The steaming water mist made her jade face hazy, and her face had a veil, adding a bit of mystery and fairyland. .
When they arrived at Yangmei, they walked quickly up to the palace and delivered the letter. Li Shaoyun put down the tea cup and pushed the saucer. Yangmei quickly put away the ginseng tea.
Pick up the letter, this thin letter is part of the imperial concubine's power, and only the imperial concubine with a strong external background and a noble internal status is qualified to receive external letters.
Slowly tearing open the seal and carefully reading the message, Li Shaoyun couldn't help laughing. This was information about Li Rusi.
When she saw Zhuang Xun staying in Li Rusi's room for the night, she frowned. Seeing that the rumors could no longer be stopped, her smile disappeared. She read the letter several times, and slowly her smile returned. Finally, she opened the incense small stove.
The burning incense glowed with fire, and the letter was burned. Seeing the flame extinguished, Li Shaoyun closed the lid and showed a happy smile.
"Serve the dishes and serve more rice. I want to eat more today." Li Shaoyun ordered.
"My Lady, are you happy about anything? What did your Majesty reward General Li?" Seeing that Li Shaoyun was happy, Yang Mei took the initiative to ask, and at the same time waved to the maids to serve the food.
Observing words and emotions is one of the most important skills for a servant. When the master is happy, she will naturally share the happiness with her.
"It's not dad's business. Your Majesty is already preparing to go out of the city to greet him tomorrow. This is already a top honor. Even if you want to reward him, it will have to be decided after the court meeting." Li Shaoyun smiled and shook his head.
"Then what makes you so happy, Madam?" Yang Mei smiled.
"Ru Si has found her husband. He is the right envoy of Hebei Province in Yu State." Li Shaoyun said as she watched the dishes being served on the table.
"Congratulations to Miss Li for finding your right husband." Yang Mei smiled. She also knew Li Shaoyun's family situation, and also knew Li Rusi's name and her deeds. Now that she heard about Li Rusi Having found her husband, she naturally considered it a great joy and congratulated Li Shaoyun.
"Congratulations? I found a married woman. I don't know how to solve it now. She is the daughter of our Chengguo general. She would be ridiculous if she married a Yuguo as a concubine." Although Li Shaoyun said this, she smiled. Still hanging on the beautiful face.
"This?" Yang Mei was embarrassed. No wonder Li Shaoyun frowned just now. If this kind of thing spread, it would really disgrace the Li family.
"This situation is quite appropriate. The jade lotus root soup was made well today." After sighing, Li Shaoyun said happily.
"Would you like to ask why I'm not angry?" Seeing Yang Mei's embarrassed look, Li Shaoyun gave her a step down.
"Your Majesty, aren't you angry?" Yang Mei asked cautiously, following Li Shaoyun's footsteps.
"I was very angry at first, but then I thought that this was my sister, so I wasn't so angry. The second sister is very humane and would not think of this, but she still did it. Naturally, she has her thoughts, and as a sister, she is naturally supportive. Yes." Li Shaoyun said with an expression of trust in Li Rusi.
"Moreover, Your Majesty welcomes you. In this situation where the fire is cooking, it would be nice to have something to cool down our Li family." Li Shaoyun argued.
But Yang Mei didn't understand, and looked confused. She couldn't understand why the concubine who should be so proud of the spring breeze wanted to cool down her home.
"I'm asking for leave in the afternoon. I won't go to the Tai Chi Hall to read the book. I said that I have devoted myself to practicing Taoism and have a profound understanding of the Taoism. I won't be able to go to the Tai Chi Hall this month." Li Shaoyun put down the bowl and chopsticks, and Yang Mei stepped forward to support her. , It’s not that Li Shaoyun has no mobility, but that this is the demeanor and configuration of the imperial concubine of Chengguo.
After finishing the meal, Li Shaoyun knelt down on the cushion with Yang Mei's support and picked up the scripture.
"My Majesty is studying Taoism so much, why don't you come to see your Majesty? Your Majesty is obviously working so hard." Seeing Li Shaoyun's hard work, Yang Mei said pitifully
"Don't think about it. It won't come. It won't come in this life. I will know it the day I enter the palace."
