Zhao Xuanyi was frightened by Li Yukun's momentum. This old man was not a good person. Zhao Xuanyi recounted all the conversations. After hearing this, Li Yukun rolled his eyes and seemed not to be scared to death!
"Father? Father, are you okay?" Li Hanrui hugged Li Yukun and kept shouting. Li Hanyan hurriedly brought over a cup of tea. Li Yukun drank a cup of tea just to relax his mood.
"Son-in-law, son-in-law, it seems that the eldest princess really likes you. I haven't beheaded you yet? You are really lucky!" Zhao Xuanyi felt that Li Yukun was more terrifying than Zhu Yuejun.
"Father-in-law, am I right? Although I haven't chosen which side to take yet, but I can't keep choosing, right? The eldest princess is destined not to have power, I can help her!"
"But what if the prince really comes to power? What if I have to settle the accounts then? I can't have no plan at all, right?" Li Yukun sighed after hearing Zhao Xuanyi's words.
"Son-in-law, do you know how much trouble you have caused? Who will succeed is originally the royal family's own business. We only need to be loyal. To put it bluntly, who will take the throne in the end is not the emperor's final decision?"
"Our Li family has protected the Ming Dynasty for decades. Now two generations have served the imperial court. No matter who sits on the throne, they dare not easily shake the position of our Li family. Do you really think that my hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers are just decoration? And you, What’s wrong is that we shouldn’t talk about these things!”
"Then I insist on going my own way? Like a puppet? If the eldest princess pulls me this way, I will run there? What should I do if the other princes fail to recruit me and become murderous?" Zhao Xuanyi said dissatisfied.
Li Yukun shouted
"How dare they! Who dares to touch you while I'm here? Son-in-law, you really don't trust me, father-in-law. As long as I am not, as long as my Li family is undefeated, even the prince will not dare to touch you at all!"
"Go right away, go and apologize to the eldest princess! If the eldest princess really abandons you, I dare to guarantee you with my life that none of the other princes would dare to order you to be safe. They are just trying to distract the eldest princess. It's just about strength! You are too young and your thinking is too one-sided!" Li Hanrui looked at Zhao Xuanyi
"Brother-in-law and father are right. Go and apologize to the eldest princess, otherwise my father and I will not be able to bear the consequences!" Although Zhao Xuanyi still didn't understand what Li Yukun was thinking and what was going on behind the scenes, but He and the Li family would never harm him, so he stood up in a hurry
"Xuanyi knows, let's go now!" After Zhao Xuanyi said that, he hurriedly walked out of the general's mansion. Under the protection of Shen Wei, he returned to Piaoyun Pavilion and rushed directly into Su Xiaoding's room. Four drawings, one is a butterfly, one is a bird, and one is a crane!
The last drawing was too complicated and difficult to make, so Su Xiaoding tried her best to make only three!
Zhao Xuanyi carefully took one of them out of the box. Looking at the thing in his hand, Zhao Xuanyi smiled. It's up to you whether you can save your head this time!
Zhao Xuanyi put the items in the box and was about to leave? He suddenly stopped and slapped himself on the head. Why was he so stupid?
Then I brought over two birds and two butterflies! Then he hurriedly rode away from Piaoyun Pavilion and came to a tea house hidden in an alley. After Zhao Xuanyi walked in, the waiter recognized him at a glance.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Zhao? You are here!" Zhao Xuanyi smiled and nodded.
"I haven't been here for a long time. Do you have any new tea? Bring me a pot!" The waiter smiled.
"I'm sure no one else has, but you are a regular customer. Please come upstairs for a while and I will serve you tea!"
"Okay!" Zhao Xuanyi went up to the second floor, found the room where he and Zhu Yuejun had discussed things, sat down, put down the box in his hand, and waited quietly.
About half an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps downstairs, and then the door of the private room was pushed open. Zhu Yuejun walked in with an indifferent expression. The four maids glanced at Zhao Xuanyi, closed the door, and stood guard outside!
Zhu Yuejun sat on the chair and stared at Zhao Xuanyi.
"Isn't this Mr. Zhao? What do you want from me?" Zhao Xuanyi stood up in a hurry and knelt on the ground.
"Xuanyi was drunk yesterday and talked nonsense. I hope the eldest princess will not be angry. He was beaten and scolded. It is all Xuanyi's own fault. I hope the eldest princess will punish him!" Zhu Yuejun sneered and lowered his head to look at Zhao Xuanyi.
"Whether you are talking nonsense while drunk or telling the truth after being drunk, you have two choices! You were so eloquent last night, and you made me sound useless. Apologize to me today. I have wronged Mr. Zhao!"
"Wei Chen doesn't dare. He just drank too much last night and braggarted his anger. I beg the eldest princess to forgive me. Wei Chen has no intention of rebellion. It's just that Wei Chen feels that he has been too radical in the past six months, which has caused dissatisfaction from several other forces. , if they can’t choose a good way, I’m afraid they will be unruly to the ministers!”
"I thought that the eldest princess lived deep in the palace and could not take care of every loyal minister. I suddenly felt fear in my heart, so I talked nonsense. The eldest princess must not take it seriously!" After Zhu Yuejun heard this, he held his chin with one hand and his face was filled with emotion. smile
"I listened to Mr. Zhao's words yesterday, which is worse than ten years of reading. I couldn't sleep all night. After thinking about Mr. Zhao's words carefully, it makes sense. How about this? I will let you go to Zhu Zhelin's place. You will probably follow the prince's faction. From now on, I will have no worries about food and clothing, countless gold, silver and jewels, and countless beauties! How about that?"
"Wei Chen doesn't dare! Wei Chen already refused to His Highness last night. I didn't take the gold bar that was given to me, and I didn't touch the beauty that was given to me! Xuanyi can get whatever he wants by himself, no need for charity from others! I just hope that the eldest princess will not be angry! I will definitely be loyal to the eldest princess and will never betray you!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly, as if he was speaking to the people outside the door, but also as if he was showing his loyalty!
After Zhu Yuejun heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared and turned into a very serious expression.
"Do you know why I didn't kill you last night?"
"The power of my father-in-law, the integrity of my father! I know that the eldest princess is looking at the overall situation, otherwise my head would not be able to see the sun today!" Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, what does it mean to accompany the king like a tiger?
Now you know?
"Hmph! You're not stupid! I'll keep your head in mind first. If you can't make up for it, I'll come and get it at any time!" Zhu Yuejun said coldly.
Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly thanked him
"Thank you very much for not killing me, eldest princess! I will definitely be loyal to you!"
"Okay, is it useful to talk nonsense? I hear hundreds of them every day, you have to come up with something real!" Zhu Yuejun said lazily.
"There is, there is a real thing!" Zhao Xuanyi stood up quickly, opened the box he brought, and pushed it in front of Zhu Yuejun!
Zhu Yuejun lowered his head and glanced at the contents of the box. It didn't matter if he didn't look at it. When he saw it, he was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly reached out and took out the contents of the box, holding them in his hands as if they were treasures!
I saw Zhu Yuejun holding a special hairpin in his hand. On the hairpin was a peacock. The whole peacock was made of silver, and the peacock's eyes were two red gems. The tail ends of dozens of peacock feathers at the back were all Set with a green gem!
The peacock was made lifelike. There was a small spring connected to the bottom of each peacock feather. It swayed gently. More than twenty peacock feathers kept shaking. It looked like it was alive. It was very beautiful, even though Zhu Yuejun was filled with anger. , after seeing this peacock, I felt very happy!
Zhao Xuanyi saw little stars popping out of Zhu Yuejun's eyes and smiled.
"Princess, Wei Chen made this by himself. You can't buy it outside. Do you like it?" Zhu Yuejun looked at Zhao Xuanyi and coughed lightly.
"Since there is such a treasure, why did you only give me a few vegetable leaves on my birthday?" Zhao Xuanyi smiled, thinking that it was just to save his life. I didn't want to give it to you at first. I wanted to give it to Tang Rou.
"On the eldest princess's birthday, the masters of each family must give many valuable items. Why should a minor minister take over the honors? Just make them happy. As long as the eldest princess likes it, why bother?" Zhu Yuejun liked it very much and shook it slightly in his hand. We had a lot of fun. Looking at the peacock feathers swinging behind us, Zhu Yuejun felt very fond of it. This was much more fun than the stars!
"I heard that you sell a lot of butterflies and birds? How much did this peacock cost?"
"Princess Qi, this peacock is very cumbersome to make. We have only made one like this now. There is no price on the market. This is the only one. If you want to make it again in the future!" Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, how could I possibly Tell you what else?
"Well!" Zhu Yuejun was very satisfied when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face! Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at the door
"Sisters Nanzhu and Xilan, please come in!" After hearing this, the four maids outside the door opened the door and walked in.
"Princess!" Zhao Xuanyi smiled and opened the package on the side. There were two butterflies and two birds inside. Zhao Xuanyi held the package and picked it up.
"Four beauties, Xuanyi is under the care of several sisters. You can choose on your own if you like!" After the four girls saw it, although they all seemed very interested, no one dared to take action. Instead, they looked at Zhu Yuejun. , Zhu Yuejun smiled
"Mr. Zhao is very interested, take it!"
"Yes!" Yes and the maid came over, and they were all taken away in an instant. They put each one in their hands and kept playing with it. They liked it very much!
Zhu Yuejun looked at Nanzhu
"Come here and put it on for me!"
"Yes!" Nan Zhu came over and put the peacock on Zhu Yuejun's head. Xilan took a mirror and showed it to Zhu Yuejun. Zhu Yuejun looked at the peacock on his head, shook his head, and looked at the peacock feathers behind the peacock that kept swinging. It was very beautiful, and he smiled.
"Mr. Zhao, for the sake of giving you a gift, I don't want your head anymore!"
"Thank you, Princess!" Zhao Xuanyi said in his heart. Fortunately, he is a girl and easy to deal with. If he were a man, it would be really difficult to deal with these gadgets!
"The eldest princess looks so beautiful wearing this peacock!" Yuan Mei said with a smile.
"Yes! So beautiful!" The other three girls also said.
"Mr. Zhao, is this peacock still gone?" Nan Zhu asked.
"That's it!" Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, "How dare you wear it if I give it to you?" Aren't you afraid that the eldest princess will kill you?
The same ones worn by the royal family? Zhu Yuejun nodded with satisfaction.
"In a few days it will be time for you and me to compete. Are you confident?"
"Eldest Princess Qi, I heard that your Moon Guards are all masters recruited from the martial arts world. Wei Chen is really unsure. But if Wei Chen wins by luck, will the eldest princess be angry?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Hahaha! When did Mr. Zhao become so timid and fearful? This is not like you!" Zhu Yuejun asked with a smile.
This morning! If it weren't for your scary status, would I be like this?
"It's all well taught by the eldest princess!" Zhu Yuejun turned to look at Nanzhu. Nanzhu said nothing and looked at the other three maids. All four girls walked out of the room and closed the door again!
Zhu Yuejun looked at Zhao Xuanyi
"sit down!"
"Yes!" Zhao Xuanyi sat opposite Zhu Yuejun. Zhu Yuejun looked at Zhao Xuanyi with admiration.
"You don't have to be afraid. Even if you don't come to me today, I won't kill you. What you said just now is just a joke. You have done so many things in the military camp, and everything is strengthening our Ming army. I know You are a talented person, why would I be willing to kill you?"
"You are right. I cannot control the power, but I just need to help the emperor. As for who the emperor wants to appoint as the crown prince, I really don't know. After all, the emperor is still in his prime. In the prime of life, it’s not appropriate to talk about things that will happen a hundred years from now!”
"And I know that you have no intention of rebellion, nor do you want to fight for power or greed for money. You have no intention of controlling the government. How could I kill you? I really hope that Mr. Zhao can be my... friend! We are just like before, you don’t have to be afraid that I will chop your head off, and I don’t like killing people, so don’t be so reserved and make me feel uncomfortable!” Zhao Xuanyi let out a sigh of relief after hearing Zhu Yuejun’s words.
"You told me earlier, you scared me so much that I couldn't speak clearly! You told me so truthfully, I also want to tell you the truth. In our competition, eldest princess, you may lose!" Zhu Yuejun smiled
"You don't trust my Moon Guard that much?
"It doesn't mean that at all. My Qilin Guards are specially trained to attack cities and strongholds, while the eldest princess's Moon Guards are trained to deliver intelligence and assassinate. They are different arms. If you ask the army to go to the seaside to fight, you will definitely not win! One! That makes sense!" After hearing this, Zhu Yuejun nodded lightly.
"It's not enough. I still don't believe it. One hundred and fifty of my men can't defeat one hundred of yours? The two of us have a bet! I have already obtained Wang Xizhi's copybook!" Zhao Xuanyi laughed upon hearing this.
"Did Li Wenzhou really give the copybook to the eldest princess?"
"How dare he lie to me? Don't you want to live anymore?" Zhu Yuejun said with a smile.
"Elder Princess, who does this Li Wenzhou belong to? I thought about it carefully, but in the end I couldn't figure out who it was. Do you know?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
When Zhu Yuejun said this question, his expression suddenly became serious.
"I'm not sure, but I guess it might be someone from King Yong'an, but this hasn't been confirmed yet!"
"King Yong'an? Who is it?" Zhao Xuanyi seems to have never stopped looking at this person!
