Royal rice bug, worm worm!

Chang'an City, February day.

There are open canals on both sides of Zhuque Street, and mulberry elms are planted all over the canals. When the spring breeze comes, clusters of elms hang on the branches, crowded and tender.

Three or five children combed their backs, raised their heads, pulled off a handful of elm coins and stuffed them into their mouths.

Pedestrians passed by, helping the dolls to lower the high branches, teasing a few words, happily.

Suddenly, there was a dog barking on the long street, and the shopkeeper who was carrying the burden was refreshed.

This is no ordinary barking dog!

The voice is thick, the tone is long, and the momentum is full!

It is the bear-lion dog of Prince Fu's Mansion, the mascot of Chang'an City!

"Wow!" Another cry.

The chubby bear and lion dog rushed up the long street shaking its golden fur, followed by more than a dozen government soldiers, shouting while running: "Fu Wang crosses Tianjie, idlers retreat!"

In an instant, the pedestrians on the street retreated to both sides like a tide. Those who were unable to react in time were dragged aside by the quick-moving government soldiers. They knew each other well and cooperated tacitly, and no one was hurt.

The wide Suzaku Avenue became quiet in an instant, and the sound of horseshoes came from far and near.

A majestic big white horse came galloping, with a red silk ribbon tied to its flying tail, and a golden forehead covered with a high horse head, gorgeous, shiny, and aggressive.

On the horseback was a tall and tall young gentleman, wearing a red crown and an auspicious cloud robe. Drunken red coral beads hung by his ears, making the skin on his cheeks as white as frost.

Before he could see the facial features clearly, he swished past.

People stopped and looked away.

Someone spoke in poor Chang'an dialect and asked curiously: "Who is that person? What a big show!"

An old man did not answer but asked instead: "Come from far away?"

The man held his hand and made a foreign salute, "Silla, Jincheng."

"No wonder." The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Who else dares to ride a horse in Tianjie, except for the golden and precious little King Fu?"

The Silla people were even more puzzled, "No matter how noble you are, how can you compare to Prince Daye?"

The old man shook his head and smiled.

What follows is a three-quarter-hour science popularization——

"The posthumous son of King Ding", "the nephew of the sage", "holding the imperial city's 30 forbidden army talisman", "the real prince must give him three points of courtesy"...

Also, there are three older sisters in the family, the eldest sister married the Hongnong Yang family, the second sister married the Lanling Xiao family, and the third sister was in the boudoir, the future husband-in-law... Don't think about it, you must choose from a few big families. pick.

Of course, no matter how big the family is, it can't beat the Tian family.

There are two biggest reasons why this little King of Fortune lives so well, one is the empress dowager, and the other is the current saint.

The empress dowager was the empress of the first emperor, not the birth mother of the present emperor, but the daughter of King Ding.As the posthumous son of Prince Ding, the young prince Li Xi is actually the only grandson of the empress dowager, and the other princes and princes are separated by a layer.

On the day this little prince was born, he led an army into Chang'an City.With a loud cry from Prince Ding's Mansion, 30 Imperial City troops broke through the Chengtian Gate, killed Prince Li, wiped out the remnants of the East Palace, read the edict of succession, and entered the Taiji Hall.

At that time, the sky was full of sunshine, storks and cranes were flying together, and the eastern sky was full of auspicious clouds, and the statue of the saint appeared, which was auspicious.Even Lord Taishi, who supervised the roof, said that the young prince Li Xi is the lucky star of the great cause!

Today, the blood on the armor has not been wiped off, so he went to Dingwang's mansion in person, embraced the child, and named him King of Fortune, wishing him a long life and long life, and granting the imperial city order, allowing him to live in peace for the rest of his life.

……

The people of Silla were in awe of the direction in which Li Xi disappeared—if he could hug Niucha Xiaofu's thigh, he, no, his whole family could take root in Chang'an City!

Fuwang Mansion was built in Yongxingfang, with the imperial city to the west.The huge palace occupies half the area of ​​the square, and now it is authorized that the courtyard gate of Prince Fu's mansion will be opened directly on the wall of the square, so that Li Xi can enter and exit easily.

At this time, Li Xi's little companion, Dang Fig, was standing in front of the door, stretching his neck and looking around the street corner.

Seeing Li Xi's figure, Fig was greatly relieved, and did not rush forward, but directed the concierge to move out the bronze mirror that was as tall as a person.

"Straighten it, wipe it clean, Alang needs it."

"I know, it's not the first time, don't worry." The porter grinned and wiped it with a fine white linen cloth in circles, obviously used to it.

Li Xi got off the horse, rubbed the big hairy dog ​​that jumped up, and the first thing he said was: "Is the crown crooked? Is the hair messy?"

"It's not crooked, it's not messed up, it's all right!" Fig quickly moved aside the bronze mirror behind him to let him take a picture.

Li Xi adjusted the golden crown, tugged at the belt, shook the coral beads on his cheeks, and shook the flowing auspicious cloud robe to ensure that everything from head to toe was beautiful, and then he smiled with satisfaction.

Fig puffed out the flesh of his cheeks, secretly laughing at him.

Li Xi pinched his chubby face, "Today I finally caught up with Yang Huai's iron cock and plucked his hair back. The masters were urging him to take out the Poria wine that he had kept in his possession, but he didn't take a sip. A flying pigeon urged me to come back—tell me, if it’s all right, I’ll cut your butt off!”

Fig hurriedly covered the top of his head, emphasizing again and again: "There is a big event, a big event! The third lady's tears are flowing like a river, and A Lang will be able to raise ducks if he doesn't come back to Shouxiyuan."

Li Xi paused, "Little Guozi, you're exaggerating again."

"No, I'm not exaggerating this time, it's the real deal!" Fig followed in a dizzy manner, explaining the matter in a few words.

Li Xi's third sister, Li Mujin, the head of Shouxi County, is seventeen years old and has reached the age of marriage.Princess Ding and the Queen Mother arranged a marriage for her.However, Li Mujin already had someone in her heart, and she was unwilling to live or die.

This matter dragged on for more than half a month. I thought it would be Huang, but Wang Fei unexpectedly invited the Queen Mother Yi in private, and agreed with the man to come to ask for his name today.

Li Xi clicked his tongue.

No wonder Yang Huai tried so hard to coax him out today, because he was afraid that he would stop him!

Sukiin.

Li Mujin was sitting in the octagonal pavilion, crying to the koi in the lake.Accompanied by a female officer, coaxing softly.

Li Xi glanced at the sill, so, this time he was really crying, not pretending.

He didn't follow the right path, he climbed up the railing and jumped up, startling the two little ladies.

Li Mujin complained in a hoarse voice with tears in her eyes: "Why did you come back? You will only have two older sisters left later!"

Li Xi sat cross-legged across from her, coaxing coaxingly: "The scourge has lasted for thousands of years, just like you, third sister, even if you jump into the lake, you will be sent back by the water ghost."

Li Mujin raised the corner of her mouth and said, "You will be sent back even more, more, more!"

Seeing her smile, Li Xi felt relieved, and waved his hand, "Little Guozi, go, get someone to serve some tea and snacks, Third Sister plans to stay here with me until dark, let's not talk about business."

Li Mujin: "..."

The female officer next to her covered her lips and smiled, trying to smooth things over: "Ah Lang, stop being funny. Wei Shaoqing may have arrived at the gate of the mansion by now. Could it be that you really want the third lady to marry into the poor family of the Wei family?"

Li Xi was not in a hurry, "What's wrong with the poor family? Anyway, he is a top scholar who came from a serious Jinshi, and he is always a hundred times stronger than the Yue Wanwan she was thinking about."

Li Mujin roared: "He is Mr. Haoyue, Haoyue! It's not a 'bent moon'!"

"Wang!"

Before Li Xi could make a sound, the loyal Xiongshigou jumped up and roared back ferociously.

Li Mujin chirped: "Your dog also bullies me!"

"Xiong Xiongzi wants you to be more reserved." Li Xi rubbed the fluffy head of the Xiongshi Dog, and rewarded it with a piece of jerky with a smile.

The bear and lion dog was not in a hurry to eat, but stretched out its soft and hot tongue to lick Li Xi's hand, then lightly bit a small corner of the jerky, and ate it carefully, for fear of hurting Li Xi. Like a seal.

Li Mujin's teeth ached for a while.

The heart is more sour.

Li Xi gave her a look, "Tell me, what do you want your wise and martial brother to do?"

"Get rid of Wei."

"What's in it for me?"

Li Mujin stared, "I'm your own sister, what more do you want?"

Li Xi smiled, "Yeah, when I was too young to sue, she pinched me every day and twisted my own sister who painted a turtle on my face."

Li Mujin choked, nothing but a guilty conscience.

Li Xi spread his hands, "Benefits."

Li Mujin angrily tore off a delicate gilt and silk incense cage from her waist, and threw it to him, "The last one, there will be no more."

Li Xi clenched his palms, "Okay! For the sake of our sister and brother's deep love, your brother and I will risk being beaten by our mother, scolded by our grandmother, and despised by the sage, so we can drive away the surnamed Wei." gone."

Li Mujin: Bah!

After leaving the Suxiyuan, Li Xi's smile stopped.

He thought about this matter more deeply than Li Mujin.

The reason why the Empress Dowager is a matchmaker and Princess Ding is happy is because of today's saints.

Today, in order to stabilize the court situation, we have vigorously weakened the power of the powerful, reformed the imperial examinations, and supported the poor and the common people. Now it is only a beginning.

Li Mujin's marriage can just be used to make a fuss - a poor family marrying a royal daughter will be a heavy blow to the conservative family who resolutely resist "leapfrog" intermarriage.

For the saints, the daughters of the Li family are pawns used to balance power, even though they are princesses and county lords who are regarded as noble and precious in the eyes of the world.

For Li Xi, he only cares about whether his sister will marry the man he loves and whether she can be happy and stable.

No matter what price he paid, he would not let the third sister become a victim of the game of imperial power.

Wei Yu rode a horse and entered Yongxingfang leisurely.

The person who was following him was none other than Xiao Zirui, the second son-in-law of Prince Fu's mansion and Li Xi's second brother-in-law.

Along the way, Xiao Zirui was cowardly, "What do you think I was thinking at the time, why did I agree to come with you?"

Wei Yu said nonchalantly, "For the exhibition of Weng's "Outing in Spring"."

The corner of Xiao Zirui's mouth twitched, "You know, my brother-in-law is the young ancestor of Lao Li's family and the eyeball of Prince Ding's mansion. I really pissed him off. My wife will definitely not forgive me...For the sake of harmony between husband and wife, if I run away, Brother Shuyun is understandable, right?"

Wei Yu tilted his head and glanced at him, "Okay, let's go. By the way, I would like to pass on to County Lord Funing, I have something to bring her—someone got drunk last night and spent huge sums of money to buy the former court Zhan Weng's "" Outing in Spring."

Xiao Zirui was taken aback, "You—you set me up?!"

Wei Yu smiled slightly, "You're welcome."

I thank you brother-in-law!

Xiao Zirui snorted and said: "If this marriage can come true, we will be brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law will also be your brother-in-law, when the time comes..."

Who knows what my brother-in-law feels like.

Wei Yu clings to the reins, his tall and straight body sways gently with the saddle, his star eyes are slightly squinted, and his expression is leisurely and composed, as if he is not going to propose a marriage at all, but is going on an outing.

Li Xi was holding the Lulu sword, leading the bear and lion dog, and guarding the main gate of the palace with twenty soldiers.

Seeing a group of people approaching from a distance, he immediately saw the man with a relaxed expression and a slight smile on his face, and only noticed his brother-in-law at the second glance.

Xiao Zirui came from the Xiao family in Lanling. He had a long history of education, and he was both talented and beautiful. However, walking beside this man, he was overshadowed by comparison.

Li Xi is the leader of the playboy circle, Wei Yu is the leader of Chang'an Qingliu, both of them have heard of each other's name, this is the first time they have met.

Li Xi looked at Wei Yu, and commented sourly: After all, he is a handsome man recognized by Chang'an, and he does have such a good looks.

Of course, it's still a bit worse than Grandpa.

Wei Yu calmly looked at the gorgeous and shining little King of Fortune on the steps, and couldn't help but think of a rumor in the market - this King of Fortune is like a millet bug covered in a golden shell...

Oh, it's quite vivid.
