Female General And Eldest Princess

Brother Li Xian talked with Li Zhao in the main hall for a long time before they both retreated.

Standing at the entrance of the main hall, Li Zhu was in a good mood, and looked at Li Xian with a hearty smile: "Sister, I think Father will definitely agree now."

Li Xian just smiled faintly, looked at the palace wall in the distance and did not speak.

"What's wrong with sister? Are you unhappy?" Li Zhu asked cautiously.

"No, it's just that I suddenly feel that time has passed so fast. The queen mother has been away from us for so long."

Hearing Li Xian mention Queen Wen Huiduan, Li Zhu also fell silent.

The two siblings stood side by side at the entrance of the main hall, each with their own thoughts.

"Zhu'er, my sister is tired, so I'll go back home first."

"Pearl to my sister."

"No need, it's the end of the year, I think the East Palace has a lot of things to do, you go back to the palace to study hard, maybe one day the emperor will check it when he is interested."

"This...well then, sister, go slowly." Li Zhu raised her wide sleeves and saluted Li Xian. Li Xian nodded and called Xiaoci who had been waiting for a long time, and the two left.

Inside the hall

Li Zhao put down Li Mu's memorial and rubbed his temples: "Shunxi."

"The slave is here." The eunuch in charge who had been standing behind Li Zhao immediately stepped forward and bowed down to wait for Li Zhao's order.

"The way you see it...Xian'er has been talking about him just now, why? Could it be that she is reluctant to part with Li Zhong? Or is there something unspeakable?"

"The servant dare not speculate on the thoughts of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

"You old bastard, the widow just redeems you. My daughter has grown up! I don't want to tell the widow, the father, if I have my own little thoughts; but Pearl is right, the widow can't just watch love The girl jumped into the fire pit; the widow didn't think much of Li Zhong at first, but Xuan'er kept recommending him, and thought that the Pingyang Marquis's mansion was not well established, and its wealth was only two generations old; Always put Xian'er first, so the widow thought that Xian'er would not be bullied if she married, alas... Although the widow is the son of heaven, but married and obeyed the husband, the widow can't stretch her hand too long! Now this little beast is born After this kind of thing, this son-in-law is absolutely unable to do it."

"What Your Majesty said is very true." Shunxi lowered his eyes, his face was full of submissiveness, and he blindly agreed with Li Zhao.

Li Zhao also seems to be used to the fact that people around him are thoughtless and only flatter everything, so he doesn't take it seriously, and continued to say to himself: "Xian'er is not young, she will be nineteen after this year, and they are all widows." A moment of negligence, thinking of staying with her for a few more years, in the blink of an eye, she left the most beloved princess of the widows as an old girl. Seeing that her wedding is imminent, but something like this happened, Yu Xianer's reputation is not good after all; The widow would also like to ask Xianer if there is any other suitable candidate besides Li Zhong, so that the wedding can go ahead as scheduled, which can make up for it; but why didn't Xianer say anything?"

"Your Majesty... According to this old slave, this matter is related to the honor of His Royal Highness the Elder Princess. Your Majesty, if you ask such a question, it is impossible for the Elder Princess to say it even if she has something on her mind."

Hearing the eunuch's reminder, Li Zhao patted his forehead in frustration, causing the bead curtain on his forehead to rattle: "Hey, I'm just confused! I really shouldn't have asked Xian'er that question."

"The old slave sees it clearly. Your Majesty, you really love Her Highness the Eldest Princess, but it is human nature for Her Highness not to say anything. Her Highness Eldest Princess has the most empress-like temperament, kind and sensible."

"Hey... Although this child belongs to the Tian family, she is also her father behind closed doors. What can I not say to my father? Shunxi, do you think that the person Xian'er really likes is not here? In the list provided by the widow, so she can only choose Li Zhong?"

"Slaves dare not lie." After speaking, Shun Xi retreated behind Li Zhao again, as quietly as if he didn't exist.

"Your Majesty, Mu has no son, and I know my fate is not long. My sister died early, and now Li's family is all withered. I pray to Your Majesty for the wedding of the eldest princess. Think twice. Women are no better than men. If you enter the wrong family , It will be a lifelong regret, if His Majesty agrees, the old minister will smile at Jiuquan. Li Zhao glanced at Li Mu's memorial again, with a heavy heart; as Li Xian's biological father, he actually let an "outsider" come to beg him to fulfill the lifelong happiness of his own daughter...

Li Xian and Xiaoci got into the carriage, Xiaoci asked softly: "Your Highness, is everything going well?"

Li Xian nodded: "Yeah"

"Then why is Your Highness depressed?"

"I'm just thinking, maybe there are other ways."

"Why did Your Highness suddenly change his mind? Now that time is so tight, hasn't His Highness already booked it? Step by step planning to this point, why suddenly..."

Li Xian didn't answer, but just quietly looked out the window. She would never tell anyone else, because Lin Feixing's glance touched her heart; so, even though she had made plans long ago, she always had a sudden surprise. An uneasy feeling; this strange and unfamiliar feeling made her instinctively want to escape.

"Your Highness, forgive me for talking too much, and things will change later. Please think twice, Your Highness."

"This palace knows."

On the second day after returning to Beijing, Lin Wanyue did not wait for Li Zhao's summons, but Xiao Ci, the female official in charge of the Princess's Mansion, came.

"I've seen General Lin, how is General Lin resting?"

"Thank you, sister Xiaoci, for your concern. I don't know why sister Xiaoci came to find Fei Xing in person?"

"It's not me looking for you, but our Highness looking for the general to come to the mansion for a talk."

"Then please wait a moment, sister Xiaoci, Feixing will come after changing clothes."

"General Lin just go."

Lin Wanyue returned to her room, found a navy blue robe from among the several sets of clothes Li Xian sent over, and changed into it, opened the door and went out.

Xiaoci looked Lin Feixing up and down and said with emotion: "It is true that people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles. Our Highness has good eyesight. General Lin's clothes are just right."

Lin Wanyue smiled: "Sister Xiaoci, shall we go in a carriage or shall I pass the sedan chair?"

"Hey, no need. The Princess Mansion is not far away. Your Highness said that he wants to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Qian's shop. It happened to be on the way. Let's walk."

"it is good."

Lin Feixing and Xiaoci left the post house and went straight to Qian's shop. Xiaoci bought two packs of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and picked out some fresh and delicate cakes for the boss to pack, and then handed the parcels to Lin Feixing very naturally .

Lin Wanyue took the pastry with a smile, and the two continued to walk towards the princess mansion.

"Have you heard about General Lin?"

"what?"

"After the imperial doctor's diagnosis, he said that the loyal son may not be able to die."

"Oh……"

"Thanks to our Highness's commitment to marry, this guy really doesn't know what's good."

……

"Yesterday, His Majesty summoned His Highness into the palace, saying that he wanted to dissolve the engagement."

"Oh." Lin Wanyue nodded dully.

Xiaoci turned her face and gave Lin Feixing a hard look, and asked, "You have nothing to say?"

Lin Wanyue smiled bitterly: "What can I say?"

"Hey, thanks to our Highness looking at you favorably, it would be good to give you some advice! After this year, our Highness will be nineteen; being delayed by Li Zhong is likely to become an old lady, His Majesty's intention It is to dissolve the engagement with Li Zhong, and the wedding will continue as usual, and we will select young unmarried talents of the right age to marry His Highness."

"……Oh."

"But to put it lightly, Your Highness is nineteen years old. At this age, there are very few outstanding men who are not married, even if there are; if you marry someone who doesn't know the basics, Your Highness will be wronged!"

Lin Wanyue listened to Xiaoci's complaints in silence, her chest ached.

Lin Wanyue's feet mechanically followed Xiaoci, but Xiaoci's voice became more and more indistinct. At this moment, Lin Wanyue had only one thought in her mind: Is she going to marry a stranger to spend her life together?

Xiaoci stood still at the gate of the Princess's mansion, seeing that Lin Feixing was still walking forward, and shouted: "Hey! General Lin! Passed by!"

"Oh, here we come." Lin Wanyue came back from her thoughts, and hurriedly ran back to Xiaoci's side with the pastry.

"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Ci shot Lin Feixing a look with his eyes, and from the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the figure who followed her all the way and disappeared at the corner of the street, and smiled.

After entering the princess mansion, Li Xian was sitting on a stone bench in the back garden, looking at the dying scenery in front of her.

"Princess, General Lin is here."

"Well, sit down."

Lin Wanyue sat down opposite Li Xian, Li Xian smiled faintly at Lin Wanyue, and then instructed Xiao Ci: "Put the cakes on."

"Here!"

The cakes in Qian's shop were delicious, but neither of them seemed to have much appetite, Li Xian saw that Lin Feixing was not very useful, so she called the maid to remove the cakes.

"Can Flying Star play chess?"

"Play chess? When I was young... Dad taught me some things, and I know the rules..."

"That's good, Fei Xing, would you like to have a hand with me?"

"Of course! If the princess doesn't dislike Flying Star's poor chess skills..."

Li Xian smiled lightly, and after a short while, someone from the mansion set up the chessboard on the stone table and burned incense.

"Flying Star, please."

Lin Wanyue was also not polite, and took the white stones to place in the star position.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xian looked at Lin Feixing's messy layout and smiled faintly.

"Pa-ta--" Li Xian casually dropped her hand, and raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her.

Seeing that he was holding Baizi between his arms, his brows were furrowed, obviously it was difficult for him.

Li Xian didn't urge her, but just waited quietly. Finally, with a "click", Lin Feixing thought for a long time and gave up.

Li Xian looked down, and finally couldn't help laughing: This man thought for a long time, but he did the worst thing.

Lin Wanyue happened to see Li Xian's smile, her heart skipped a beat, the temperature of her cheeks rose, and she asked in a low voice, "Princess... am I not playing well?"

Li Xian casually dropped a son, and replied with a smile: "I heard that there is a priority, and there is a specialization in the arts. The art in the game is just a pediatrics. How can it compare to the flying stars who have raised thousands of troops?"

Lin Wanyue knew that Li Xian was deliberately protecting her self-esteem, and she felt warm in her heart.

"If Fei Xing wants to learn, let me teach you, okay?"

Lin Wanyue looked straight at Li Xian, grinning to reveal a row of white teeth: "Okay!"

As a result, the chess game was overthrown and started again. Li Xian dismantled and explained while playing, Lin Wanyue listened carefully, and every time she made a move to the subtle point, she suddenly became enlightened.

Li Xian is a good teacher, she is patient and doesn't hide her secrets, and she doesn't deliberately show off; Lin Wanyue's interest in learning chess was aroused within a short time.

This game of guide chess lasted for about two hours, in the end Li Xian only won Lin Wanyue by two eyes.

Lin Wanyue was invited to have dinner at the eldest princess's mansion. Before leaving, Li Xian gave Lin Feixing a set of simple chess records, and the two met to fight again tomorrow.

Lin Wanyue happily went there with the chess record in her pocket.
