Female General And Eldest Princess

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

A large area of ​​land on the border of Li Country has been trampled down by the iron hooves of war horses and the feet of soldiers, but in the palace of Li Country, there is still a scene of singing and dancing.

The flames of war on the border cannot spread here, and the kings of the imperial capital cannot see the desolation of the border.

Empress Li Qingcheng has already entered the Houling, but the emperor did not issue a decree to guard the whole country. In addition, the princes from all walks of life returned to the court, and the imperial palace in Liguo quickly returned to its former days after a short period of solitude because of Li Qingcheng's advance. As it should be.

To die is to die, no matter how noble and beautiful you were in life, everything will return to dust after death.

This is fate, even a legend like Li Qingcheng cannot escape.

The emperor who left the country attended Li Qingcheng's funeral in person, but Li Xian did not see any sadness from his face. A man who has supreme power has never lacked women.There are a lot of young, beautiful, fat and thin women in the entire harem of Liguo waiting for the emperor's favor. There are even many women who can't see the emperor's demeanor all their lives, so even though Li Qingcheng was once the number one in the world... Beauty, her departure does not seem to be worthy of the emperor's sorrow.

After the emperor personally held a palace banquet to entertain all the vassal kings who had returned to Beijing, it was a private banquet for the vassal kings. After all, they were brothers and sisters of the same clan, and they always got together after a long time.

Li Xian was dressed in plain palace attire and went to the Qi Palace in a four-horse carriage.

The streets of Li Kingdom's imperial capital are very wide, and the four-horse-drawn carriages are not crowded in the slightest. However, even so, the people of Li Kingdom still give way to each other with a tacit understanding.

There is a book in Liguo's "National Rituals" that says: the son of heaven travels six times, the crown prince travels five times, the vassal king travels four times, the princes and officials three, scholars two, common people one, the princess shares the same honor, and the eldest princess enjoys the ceremony of the vassal king.

A four-wheeled carriage, no matter how simple a carriage is, it still demonstrates its noble status.

Li Xian got out of the carriage, and Wu Shuanghou was already waiting at the door.

"I have troubled Lord Hou to wait for a long time, and I am here to thank you."

"Princess, please."

Prince Qi's Mansion is not big, but it is quieter. There are strange mountains and rocks, clusters of flowers, green bamboos, pines and cypresses.

Accompanied by Xiahou Wushuang, Li Xian came to the main hall of Prince Qi's mansion, where Princess Chu and her seven-year-old eldest son Li Ke were already waiting there.

"Xian'er has met Brother Qi, Sister-in-law Wang."

"I belong to the Chu family, and I have met His Royal Highness the eldest princess."

"Ke'er pays tribute to my aunt."

Li Xian personally helped up the elder son Li Ke, and lovingly touched Li Ke's head and said: "I haven't seen Ke'er for two years, and he has grown up so much, and his gestures and gestures are already quite demeanor of King Qi. It really is a tiger father without a dog son."

"Thank you, aunt!"

Qi Wang Li Zhen also smiled and said: "Young sister, let's take the table."

Li Zhen took the main seat, Li Xian was on the right, the princess was on the left, the prince sat next to the princess, and Marquis Wushuang was in the last seat.

King Qi clapped his hands, and all the servant girls filed in, and the table was filled with delicate dishes in a blink of an eye.

"Sister Huangsha, this dish of yellow sand mutton is a specialty of Qidi. You must try it." As he said that, Qi Wang Li Zhen personally cut a piece of meat from the whole sheep with a knife and added it to Li Xian's dish.

After Li Xian tasted it, she said with a smile: "The emperor's fief is actually so delicious, it's a pity that Xian'er was able to taste it today."

Hearing this, King Qi laughed and said, "My Royal Sister, when did you become so greedy? If your Royal Sister likes me, I will send you the cook from my house, and you can eat whatever you want in the future."

"Then Xian'er will thank you brother."

After drinking for three rounds and eating five flavors, the Qi Dynasty winked at Wushuanghou, who immediately invited back the concubine Chu and his eldest son Li Ke, and then guarded outside the palace by himself.

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other for a moment, and Li Xian opened her lips lightly and said straight to the point: "The imperial sister is here on behalf of Zhu'er, and I have a vacant seat, please ask Brother Qi to preside over the overall situation."

Li Zhen didn't expect Li Xian to be so straight-forward, stunned, picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a sip, and then replied slowly: "Why did the imperial sister say that? The prince is from the main palace. Although he is young, his blood is pure and No fault, how can there be a false position?"

"Today, my mother and queen passed away, leaving behind my youngest brother. Xian'er is just a daughter-in-law who just married and obeyed her husband. My uncle is far away from the border and doesn't like power. My siblings really have no one to rely on. Things in the court are changing rapidly. Mother's last will , the glory and wealth are all fleeting, I hope that my brother and sister will know how to advance and retreat."

After listening to Li Xian's words, Li Zhen fell silent. He thought of that woman who was so overpowering, she always had a wise look on her face, a faint smile, and a pair of watery eyes filled with tolerance after knowing everything. Then look at the imperial girl in front of me, who is almost like the former queen, she has the same look in her eyes, with a sincere expression.Li Zhen also had to believe that what he said was true.

"Sister, I'm not interested in that position, you can find someone else." Li Zhen looked at Li Xian with a calm expression.

The astonishment was fleeting, and Li Xian smiled and continued: "Huan Xing is lonely, Pei Shang is still young, and his character is still uncertain, and Brother Yi is stubborn and loves fighting. If he ascends to Dabao, the people of the country will be blessed with both blessings and misfortunes. Wanhu is the most favored by the father, and the concubine Liang is also a virtuous and virtuous character, but Brother Chu has always disliked Zhu'er. If he ascends to the Great Treasure, he may not be able to allow me to have both siblings. Xianer does not want my younger brother to be in this imperial capital. I have been imprisoned all my life, just wanting to get a piece of land in the end, and my siblings depended on each other for the rest of my life. Brother Qi, you care about the people and have a kind heart, and Ke'er has attacked your character again. At least you can protect me from leaving the country. In Xian'er's heart, there is really no two candidates. If you can't refuse Brother Qi, Xian'er can only switch to Brother Chu for the long-term consideration of leaving the country, but Brother Chu's temperament... I don't know the royal family after a few years How many clan members can survive?"

Li Xian leisurely picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it down in one gulp, as if she had talked too much and her mouth was thirsty.

Suddenly, a gleam of ambiguity flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, and he looked at Li Xian and said solemnly: "I don't care who is sitting there, but Li Xuan can't."

"Then what does Brother Qi intend to do?" Li Xian smiled, but no trace of inner emotion could be seen from her face.

"I am willing to clear the way for the prince, and support the prince to ascend to the great treasure, but after the matter is done, I want the prince to allow me to get whatever I want."

Oh, do you want Pearl to be a puppet?Li Xian sneered in her heart, but her face was still calm.

She looked directly into Li Zhen's eyes, and said softly: "Since the words are empty, why bother to ask for anything?"

"it is good!"

Li Zhen patted the table with a "slap", looked at Li Xian's eyes with a little more appreciation, and said sincerely: "Xian'er, you have really grown up, if you were born as a man, you are really the best candidate for the throne .”

"Brother Huang was joking, Xian'er is only a first-order weak girl, and she will have to rely on Brother Qi from now on."

"Come!" Qi Wang Li Zhen didn't answer, but just picked up the wine glass in front of him and filled it up for Li Xian himself.

With a sound of "ding", the brother and sister clinked glasses and both drank the wine in the glasses.

On the willow's head on the moon, Li Xian got up to say goodbye.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Xian rubbed her temples wearily, and said to the empty space in the carriage: "The eldest princess is going to the Qi Palace for a banquet, and the princess and son are retreating, and the Marquis Wushuang is guarding the door. Come out and report this news to the king of Chu."

"Yes!" A misty voice came, and the shadow had disappeared.

Only then did Li Xian take off the hand that was pressing on her temple, looked at the scenery outside the car window, and caressed the window with her fingers.

Let's talk about a song, sway...
