Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 124 Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty
The two people who were facing each other felt Li Mingda's movement, and turned their heads to look at Li Mingda at the same time.
Li Mingda raised the corners of his mouth: "You two discuss it first, and then come to me for judgment when you understand it. I will choose a house."
After Li Mingda finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the main hall at a rapid pace.Wei Shuyu and Cui Qingji hurriedly saluted and apologized to Li Mingda, looked at each other, snorted coldly, and wanted to choose to follow Li Mingda.After seeing each other's intentions, they didn't leave again.
Cui Qingji looked at Wei Shuyu indifferently, "Since Wei Shizi wants to reason clearly, and your lord also agrees, let's talk it out."
Wei Shuyu raised his eyebrows, and looked coldly at Cui Qingji with slanted eyes, "Okay, we need to clarify the theory today."
"Then please go to the East Chamber, sit down and talk." Cui Qingji still stretched out his hand to signal, trying to maintain a polite demeanor.Then he walked forward, leading the way.
After Wei Shuyu followed Cui Qingji to the east wing room, he saw the painting on the wall inside the room was signed by Cui Qingji, and knew that this room belonged to him. It also shows that he was ordered to work in the Department of Mirrors. It seems that the sage really wanted to match him up Marriage with Princess Jinyang.
After Cui Qingji asked Wei Shuyu to sit down, he asked him what he wanted to drink.
Wei Shuyu said casually, and sighed: "The Department of Mirrors cleans up quickly, and your things are also put away quickly."
"No way, our Cui family has always taught the servants well. The princess said to arrange the east chamber for me, and the servants immediately arranged it. I don't need to give special instructions." Cui Qingji praised her servants this time. To Wei Shuyu, I want him to understand that the members of the Cui family are very well-behaved from top to bottom, and no one would be so stupid as to speak ill of Wei Wanshu immediately after turning around.
Wei Shuyu smiled insincerely at Cui Qingji, "You can't explain anything by saying that. It's the same thing in every family that a servant treats his master with care. And precisely because of his loyalty, the servants follow the master's preferences. Come on. So what I said about humiliating my sister is the same as what your followers said, and now you have to admit it if you don’t admit it.”
"Where is the fallacy, I think you are deliberately finding fault." Cui Qingji stared at Wei Shuyu, "You and I both know why you are deliberately picking on me. Now that you have fulfilled your wish, you can leave. I can I assure you that the thing you are worried about will not happen. If you want to confront me in front of outsiders in the future, you can just say that we don’t agree with each other in temper and look down on each other, but don’t casually frame my conduct. .I, Cui Qingji, don't say any insulting words to women, any women. It's just a matter of giving in to each other. If you fight to the death, it will be of no benefit to anyone."
Wei Shuyu glanced at Cui Qingji, and just curled his lips into a smile, neither denying nor admitting what he said.
Seeing him like this, Cui Qingji understood what he was thinking, so he raised the teacup at hand and signaled to Wei Shuyu.Wei Shuyu immediately picked up the juice on the table, gestured to Cui Qingji, but only took a sip, and immediately got up to say goodbye to Cui Qingji.
Wei Shuyu immediately went to Li Mingda to say goodbye to the princess, but when he learned that the princess was far away in the backyard, he didn't want to bother her.Turning around and taking a few steps to leave, he saw Mu Lang, Cui Qingji's attendant, coming out of the east wing and looking towards him.After thinking about it, Wei Shuyu decided to say goodbye to Princess Jinyang.
Immediately, he asked the guard, who asked him to wait a while, and soon after, hurriedly came to inform the princess for permission, and led him to go back.
Seeing this, Mu Lang went back to the house and told Cui Qingji.
Cui Qingji smiled, sipping tea calmly, it doesn't matter.Even though Wei Shuyu has an appearance that makes all the women in Chang'an miss him, Cui Qingji also knows that Princess Jinyang doesn't like him. "The one who can see from the outside to the inside is the real handsome gentleman. The princess must not only look at the surface when looking at people."
Mu Lang nodded.
Li Mingda was staring at a bunch of winter jasmine flowers in a daze, when he heard Wei Shuyu's footsteps, he looked back at him with interest.After Wei Shuyu asked for the gift, Li Mingda immediately asked him what was the result of his verbal confrontation with Cui Qingji.
Wei Shuyu smiled and shook his head, "No result, I can argue, and he is not bad, but I have written down this grudge."
"It's just a trivial matter, just take a step back." Li Mingda sighed, and then she took the fish food that Biyun brought, and went to the stone arch bridge to sprinkle food on the pond.
The originally bottomless green pool suddenly surged with waves, and countless koi scrambled for food.
"Your lord, take a look, I really can't imagine that the koi in this pond have been left unattended for more than a year, and they can be so fat."
Li Mingda nodded, and couldn't help sighing: "It's a bit strange."
"Perhaps it's because there are many aquatic plants and insects in the pond, so I can grow so fat by myself." Wei Shuyu guessed after thinking about it.
Li Mingda nodded, feeling that what Wei Shuyu said made sense.
"Today, Shuyu offended and disturbed you. I apologize to you. I hope Haihan." Wei Shuyu saluted, and then said that if the princess needs him to run errands in the future, he will do his best.
"Forget it, you and I have known each other since we were young, and it's not that I haven't seen you when you were impulsive. But Cui Liulang's personality is not what you said." Li Mingda looked at Wei Shuyu with a deep look in his eyes. Doubtful, "You...have another purpose?"
Wei Shuyu quickly shook his head, "Don't dare, Shuyu has two problems since he was a child: first, he likes to protect his sister, and he can't bear her being wronged; second, he thinks too much of himself."
Li Mingda burst out laughing, and looked at Wei Shuyu, "Not to mention the first one, you actually know the second one."
"I know, but when things really happen, it's still hard to get rid of my bad habits. In the future, Shuyu must reflect three times a day and try to get rid of this problem." Wei Shuyu reflected on himself.
Li Mingda nodded, "This is really rare, you have a problem since you were a child. When you were in the palace when you were young, I have never seen you humble yourself."
Wei Shuyu agreed with an embarrassed smile, and apologized to Li Mingda again.
"Forget it, I don't care what happened between you and Cui Qingji, let's go." Li Mingda sent Wei Shuyu away.
Wei Shuyu didn't leave, but after saluting, he looked around and whispered to Li Mingda: "Your lord Huimin, I must have known that the sage intends to match you and Cui Liulang..."
"Your Majesty Wei, you're getting too strict!" Tian Hanshan scolded.
"Sorry to offend, but Shuyu just came up with a good idea for your lord." After Wei Shuyu said that, he looked at Li Mingda meaningfully, with full confidence in his eyes.
Li Mingda raised his hand, signaling to Tian Hanshan that there is no need to stop him, and then sent all the followers around him to stand away with a wink.
"You said, I'm curious about your 'good idea'."
"This requires your lord to answer Shuyu's question honestly first." Wei Shuyu said.
Li Mingda agreed and asked Wei Shuyu to ask.
"Does your lord want to refuse the marriage with Cui Liulang?" Wei Shuyu paused for a moment, and then said uncertainly, "I looked at your lord with cold eyes, it seems that he is not interested in him, and his attitude towards him is not as good as that of Shuyu and Yizhi brother It's better to wait with Baoqi."
Li Mingda smiled, blinked his eyes, and agreed with Wei Shuyu's statement.
After getting this confirmation, Wei Shuyu immediately cupped his hands and whispered an idea to Li Mingda.
Li Mingda was surprised, then frowned, "Your approach is a bit risky."
"The so-called bystanders are clear. From Shuyu's point of view, if your lord follows this method, things will definitely go as the princess wishes, and it won't happen." Wei Shuyu said.
Li Mingda thought for a while, "Got it, I will consider it, and thank you for your idea."
Wei Shuyu saluted with a smile, and then left gracefully.
Tian Hanshan looked worriedly at Wei Shuyu who was going away, and looked at his own princess uneasy, "Your lord, this...is this idea feasible?"
"Since he was young, he has had a lot of ideas, not all of them are good," Li Mingda sighed, "but this time it can be considered."
"I also think of the fact that your lord made him cry every time." Tian Hanshan recalled the scene at that time, and couldn't help laughing, "I'm afraid Wei Shizi still doesn't know that your lord used him to this day. That’s why he cried his nose so many times.”
"I probably don't know," Li Mingda laughed, and then warned Tian Hanshan with squinted eyes, "Now that you are grown up, there is no need to talk about such things, just keep your mouth shut."
"I know it well!" Tian Hanshan hurriedly agreed.
Li Mingda covered his mouth with his hands and yawned, "I'm sleepy, go back."
Walking to the front hall, I saw Cui Qingji was also here.Cui Qingji was inquiring about Li Mingda's whereabouts with the guards at the gate. Turning her head, she saw Li Mingda had just come back from the backyard. Knowing that she wasn't here just now, she frowned slightly, but in a blink of an eye there was a faint smile on her face. Smiling calmly, he went to salute Li Mingda and asked the princess if she had chosen a suitable room.
"If your lord has any requirements, just tell the subordinate officials, and the subordinate officials will follow up and ensure that it will be done properly." Cui Qingji begged for orders.
"Since I am the person in charge of the Department of Mirrors, it would be best to sit in the main room behind the main hall, next to your east wing." Li Mingda did not forget to add later.
Cui Qingji was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly smiled and agreed that it was his honor.
Li Mingda saw that he was really happy, so he didn't say anything. After taking Wei Shuyu to the main room, he pointed to where he wanted to be arranged, and everything was arranged according to her study in the palace.
"There are two pots of orchids here, they must bloom well." Li Mingda sighed.
Cui Qingji nodded.
"Probably that's all." Li Mingda said goodbye to Cui Qingji after finishing his orders and left.
Seeing the princess walking away, Mu Lang couldn't help but feel sorry for Cui Qingji, "Liulang, orchids that bloom well? Now they are not in good bloom, and those that can bloom are rare."
"I know there is one place, but it takes a lot of effort to get it." Cui Qingji didn't care, and asked Mu Lang to prepare the horse, and he went to ask for orchids. Let Mu Lang handle the rest of the work arrangements, "everything Follow your lord's instructions, remember, don't be negligent, I will be back tomorrow morning, it may be later, I may not be able to mention you, don't make any mistakes."
Mu Lang agreed, and hurriedly sent Cui Qingji away respectfully, and began to make a fuss.
Li Mingda went back to the Lizheng Hall without changing his clothes, so he happily went to see Li Shimin.Seeing that he was in a good mood, Li Shimin was not very interested in the courtier's report. After dismissing them in a hurry, he hurriedly called Li Mingda to him and asked her if she had any good business today.
"Naturally, it's a good thing. The Der Spiegel Division that Aye prepared for me is enough to make me happy for a long time, not to mention that you arranged for someone as powerful as Cui Liulang to help me." Li Mingda hugged Li Shimin's arm coquettishly , thank him for all his thoughtful arrangements.
"Tell me, how did Cui Liulang help you?"
Li Mingda started from how Cui Qingji arranged the Mingjing Department, "Aye said that he is not very powerful. In just one day and one night, he can send people to renovate the whole old house. The door is modified and newly built. When I went there, the mud on the wall hadn’t dried yet. The inside was even more clean, there were no weeds in the yard, and the yard was clean. There was no dust in every part of the room.”
"It's just small things." Li Shimin sighed, "But this is enough to prove that he is careful."
"Besides being careful, Sizi just realized today that he was underestimated before. He is not only modest and polite, but also a talented person. He speaks well, speaks eloquently, and has profound insights into many things. It really opened Sizi's eyes." Li Mingda sighed.
Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda in surprise, "I finally saw Cui Liulang's talent, can Aye still deceive you? I really don't know where your eyes are from before."
"I didn't know him well before." Li Mingda said.
"It's just as long as you open up your mind, and get along well with him." After Li Shimin said, his inquiring eyes fell on Li Mingda, "Aye always wants to give you the best, and when you are satisfied with him, don't be shy. Tell Aye that it is, and Aye will give you a marriage in return."
"Sizi only admires him, nothing else, Aye, don't get me wrong." Li Mingda winked at Li Shimin, emphatically.
Li Shimin laughed in satisfaction, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it."
Li Shimin then asked Li Mingda how the Meihuaan case was, and he couldn't help but sigh after learning the result.
"It's pitiful, but it's also hateful. It's just a fake mercy."
Li Mingda nodded, and then asked Li Shimin if he had ever tested Cui Qingji's talents.
Li Shimin heard Li Mingda mention Cui Qingji again, frowned slightly, then nodded with a smile, "Passed the exam."
"How does father think his ability to compose poetry compares to Sizi's?" Li Mingda asked.
Li Shimin thought for a while, "Do you want to listen to the truth?"
Li Mingda nodded.
"Of course you can't compare to him. Among the younger generation, Fang Yizhi is the only person who can compare with him in talent and learning. It's a pity that he doesn't want to be the lord, otherwise I might still consider him as a candidate for the son-in-law." .In fact, based on this consideration, Cui Qingji is better than him in keeping things in order in the future, at least he has more courage, how can a person who is afraid of trouble from the Lord Shang have much promise." Li Shimin said.
Li Mingda said awkwardly: "Aye can talk about the choice of son-in-law, so let's stop chatting and go back to sleep."
Li Mingda said goodbye to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin smiled and hurriedly coaxed Li Mingda, "Okay, okay, don't talk about these things. Talk about your sixteenth sister. I saw her again today, and she didn't look very well. If you have time to help me persuade her, you can't keep going like this. "
Li Mingda agreed, "It's better to take her to live in the palace. We will take care of her from time to time, and she will naturally relax."
Li Shimin nodded in agreement.
……
Liang Guogong's mansion.
A black cat jumped onto the table and gnawed on a plate of cut carp that had just been placed on the table.
The maid exclaimed and was about to chase the cat away, but suddenly saw a green-sleeved arm blocking her way.Turning his head, he saw a handsome side face with ink-painted eyebrows, but there was a bit of madness.The maid shuddered and quickly bowed her head to salute, it turned out that the prince had returned.
"Go down." Fang Yi said straight.
The maid promised while holding the rag in her hand, but she looked a little embarrassed when she saw that the table had just been wiped.
Luo Ge walked up to the maid, reached out to take the rag, and gave her a wink to hurry up.
"The cut carp was sent by King Han's mansion. There are not many. The son, Sanlang, and Erniang only shared one plate." The maid in charge of the courtyard replied, and then saw that the things on the table had become the cat's meal, and hurriedly Step back tactfully.
Fang Yizhi sat down at the table, reached out and wiped the black cat's back, watching it devour it.
Luo Ge finished wiping the desk, then walked to Fang Yizhi's side.
"Boil the water and let it cool down before giving it a drink." Fang Yi instructed straight.
When Luo Ge saw the black cat with the golden bell hanging on it, he immediately nodded in agreement, not daring to neglect it.
At this time, people came from outside, but they just waited at the door without making a sound.Luo Ge knew the news, so he saluted Fang Yi, then hurried out, and after getting the news, he went in and reported to Fang Yi.
"The Mingjing Division has finished the arrangement. Cui Qingji not only used the people from the yamen, but also called hundreds of servants from his own mansion to help. In just one day and one night, the interior and exterior were almost cleaned up." Luo Ge then talked with Fang Yi. He directly talked about the room allocation of Li Mingda and Cui Qingji, and then said, "Wei Shizi even went to trouble him today."
"What's the trouble?" Fang Yi didn't ask until he heard this.
"It was said that when we were in Plum Blossom Nunnery, Cui Qingji secretly laughed at his sister's ugliness. He was not reconciled, so he went to fight the injustice." Luoge replied.
Fang Yi let out a straight laugh, still looking down at the cat eating the fish.
Luo Ge couldn't understand Fang Yizhi's thoughts, and he was also puzzled, "It's strange. Wei Shizi is a bit arrogant, but he would never do such an ungentlemanly thing for no reason. Cui Qingji doesn't seem like People who can say this kind of thing, but there are also sayings that the entourage made a slip of the tongue, and when they turned around, one of their master and servant said that."
"Shuyu is protecting people." Fang Yi thought about Wei Shuyu's recent movements, and knew that the problem was not with him, but the problem must be with his sister Wei Wanshu.Wei Wanshu lived in Plum Blossom Nunnery for nearly half a year, and among the important people who came and went to Plum Blossom Nunnery during this period, there happened to be a person who is hard to talk about now.Perhaps Cui Qingji knew something, so Wei Wanshu asked Wei Shuyu for help.With Wei Shuyu's arrogant temperament, he will definitely not choose to ask the other party to solve the problem. After all, he and Cui Qingji are not familiar with each other. Taking a step back, even if the other party agrees not to tell him, such a "solution" is short-lived, and he will still be taken The handle can be a threat.So Wei Shuyu simply chose to confront the opponent and turned against each other.
If the relationship between the two parties is good, or there is no normal contact, and one party says that the other party is not good, then everyone will believe it.And the two sides are opposed to each other and slander each other. If there is no evidence for what is said, others will not believe it too much.
"My lord, should we also go to the Department of Mirrors tomorrow?" Luo Ge suggested.
"No." Fang Yizhi immediately vetoed it, and then continued to pet the cat.
Luo Ge said anxiously: "But I think that Cui Liulang is chasing after the princess, I'm afraid things will change after a long time. The saint seems to care about Cui Qingji very much. We can't just sit and wait for death. Should we consider making a move?" ?”
"Wait a few days." Hei Niu finished eating a plate of fish, then nestled in Fang Yizhi's arms and licked his claws.Fang Yi stared fondly at the cat in his arms, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.He laughed for a while, and then turned to Luo Ge for the list of current officials of the Boling Cui family.He also sent someone to prepare some food. Tomorrow is the scientific examination, he is going to visit Yuchi Baoqi.
……
The peony flowers fell, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the list.
Yuchi Baoqi took the first place in the Mingjing test, and came to Liang Guogong's mansion beamingly to thank Fang Yizhi for his guidance.Of course, he will also have a good drink with everyone in the mansion to celebrate his imperial high school.
"This is really a happy thing. Your uncle and I have always regarded you as a half-son. Now that you are in high school, we are more happy than anyone else. Now that your parents are not here, we will decide to do a good job for you." For the celebration banquet, call all your good friends who come and go, and let's have fun together." Lu Shi said happily.
Yuchi Baoqi thanked Mrs. Lu repeatedly. He is a lively person and has always had a good relationship with Mrs. Lu, so he was not polite, and immediately agreed to ask Mrs. Lu to help with the arrangement.
Lu Shi immediately made arrangements for Zhang Luo, and Yuchi Baoqi didn't have to worry about other things, he only needed to think up the list and write invitations, and she was responsible for other things.
Yuchi Baoqi mentioned a series of names, all of which were his good friends.Finally, there was another name that made Yuchi Baoqi hesitate, but she still couldn't hold back, and asked Fang Yizhi: "Do you think I can invite the princess?"
"can."
"No."
Lu Shi and Fang Yizhi spoke in unison.
Yuchi Baoqi looked at the mother and son in surprise, and smiled bitterly: "Then can I or can't I?"
Lu grabbed Fang Zhizhi's arm and glared at him: "Why not? You and Baoqi are good friends who have worked together with your lord to solve the case. Now Baoqi has a happy event. I invite her to celebrate with everyone. Isn't this everyone's favorite thing to do, why do you have any reason to obstruct it?"
"The Der Spiegel Department has just been established, so there must be a lot of chores to deal with. The princess is very busy these days, and she doesn't like to be noisy, so it's best not to disturb her." Fang Yizhi immediately looked at Yuchi Baoqi, "Of course, if Baoqi If you really want her to come, you can try, it depends on what the princess wants."
Yuchi Baoqi was stunned for a moment, nodded, then frowned, thinking about what Fang Yi said directly in his heart.Is it true that he said that Princess Jinyang doesn't like excitement?Why didn't he find out.
Lu stared at Fang Yizhi very dissatisfied, hurriedly went to pull Yuchi Baoqi, discussed with him: "But don't listen to his nonsense, I think you should invite her. If the princess sees you later, everyone will be invited, except Did not invite her, how do you feel in your heart, do you think you are not loyal enough to miss her?"
Yuchi Baoqi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Mrs. Lu is very reasonable, I will write the invitation card right away."
"Okay, let's go." Lu's sent someone to quickly prepare red paper with Yuchi Baoqi, and led him to the study.
After watching Yuchi Baoqi leave with a smile, Lu turned around and sat down, feeling that Yuchi Baoqi was a nice kid with a pleasant temperament.Afterwards, Mrs. Lu glanced at Fang Yizhi in dissatisfaction, and said sourly, "It's not like some people are as bored as a log, and their future wives are about to be snatched away, and they are still sitting here as stable as Mount Tai. Without blinking an eye."
Fang Yi straightened his eyes and drank his tea, as if he didn't hear Lu Shi's words.
Lu stared at him angrily: "Just talk about you, you are still in the mood to drink!"
"Aniang just wait for it." Fang Yi has been 'prompted' by Lu Shi over the past few days. He was always shocked, but now he has naturally developed the ability to be even more surprised.
"I'll wait? Why wait? You stay at home every day except to go to Dali Temple, not even moving, let alone looking for opportunities. How can you tell me to believe that you can let me wait? Anyway, you Make a move, work hard for it, even if you lose, it's not a shame to lose." Lu said anxiously.
Fang Yi explained clearly to Lu Shi, "This is not a competition, and the princess is not a bet, so there will be no winner or loser."
Lu Shi said angrily: "I said the wrong thing? You still pick words with me at this time!"
"Good things take time. Please wait patiently, mother." Fang Yi smiled, and ordered the servant girl to bring over the cherry juice, and he personally offered it to Lu Shi with both hands, begging her to appease her anger.
Seeing this, Lu calmed down a little, stretched out his hand to take it, and then looked at Fang Yizhi suspiciously, "You really know it, you didn't lie to me?"
Fang Yi agreed, and repeatedly asked Lu Shi to rest assured.
Lu's brows were tightly furrowed, still worried, "But you stay at home lazily every day, doing nothing, will good things come without fighting or grabbing?"
Fang Yi smiled straight, "Then you will be blessed as your son."
"Okay, okay, I can't tell you, I'll wait, as long as I have a breath, I'll wait."
Lu stared at Fang Yizhi complainingly, sometimes he really felt that his son's temper was like his father's, he would do everything gently and make people wait for everything.But she is impatient, she likes to do everything clearly.But when it comes to the final result, she is naturally not as good as the two of them, who told them that they like to 'calculate' and 'everything is ready' before doing things.When Lu Shi thought about it, he was also comforted.After all, Shangzhu is a major event, which will involve all aspects, so it is not good to be so impulsive like her, to pick everything out in a hurry, otherwise there will be unexpected occurrences.
Lu Shi patted himself on the chest, trying to persuade himself with a good temper to endure.
"Last time, Auntie said that she would wait and listen to her son's arrangements. But it's only been a while, and you forgot what you said before." Fang Yi laughed straight and 'complained'.
Lu Shi waved his hands helplessly, not wanting to admit that he had made a slip of the tongue, "Who am I for, not all for you. See, you don't have any nervous thoughts, can I not be in a hurry."
"I have it." Fang Yizhi affirmed.
Lu Shi looked at him, "That's fine, I won't rush you. I'll forget about the guarantee after a while, and I'm in a hurry. Then you'd better have a better reason to convince me, at least don't let me continue to see the current situation. This situation."
Immediately, Mrs. Lu thought of the words she had inquired from her little sister, and was so worried that her hair almost turned gray.
Right now, there is another person who is worried like Lu Shi, and that is Li Shimin.
Today, Li Shimin is in the Hall of Liangyi, and he is supposed to deal with state affairs, but because he is in a bad mood, he will not read any reports unless he is in a hurry, and he will also refuse to see all the visits of ministers.
Li Shimin sat alone in the hall, sighing for a long time.
Fang Qirui worried for a long time, and when it was noon, he persuaded Li Shimin to have a meal, and also reported the name of the dishes at noon today, all the meals were prepared with great care to cater to Li Shimin's taste.
Li Shimin couldn't get excited, so he immediately asked Fang Qirui: "Has Sizi come back?"
"It's only noon, and when the princess comes back from the Department of Mirrors, it will be late afternoon at the earliest." Fang Qirui replied.
"It's been too long." Li Shimin sighed, and then reluctantly picked up the memorial on the table, only opened it for a look, and put it down again, "Did you send someone over to look at it?"
"Look, the two of them have nothing to do, they just occasionally say a few things about the Der Spiegel Department, and they are all in public, there is nothing shameful." Fang Qirui explained.
Li Shimin frowned and reprimanded Fang Qirui for his improper use of words, "Of course there is nothing shameful, Sizi has always been a good boy who knows how to behave."
"That's true, Your Majesty, please don't worry too much." Fang Qirui said.
"How can I not be worried? You haven't seen the changes in Sizi these days? Before, she thought about greeting me every day, eating with me, and caring about what I did all day and how my body was. Now she is just dazed and giggling. You mentioned Cui Qingji to me, and even moved the ancient books in the palace out of the palace, saying that Cui Qingji hadn't read these books, so I haven't read them either!"
"Princess may move books for the sake of learning, which is considered a good thing." Fang Qirui comforted.
"A good thing? I don't even understand filial piety, so it's called self-motivated and eager to learn? Fortunately, when I started, I was happy that they got along like this. But after this month, have you seen that Sizi has become more and more obsessed and mentions Cui Qingji? I counted carefully, she changed from mentioning him once or twice a day to three or four times, then seven or eight times, and then... just yesterday, do you know how many times she said 'Cui Liulang' yesterday?"
"This... I really haven't counted it." Fang Qirui didn't show it on the surface, but he was quite surprised in his heart. He didn't expect the saint to be in the mood to count this.
"A total of 23 times. Now she talks to me for a while before dinner, and now she doesn't listen to what I say about the government, and she doesn't ask the ministers of the court how the situation is, and she won't persuade me to be less angry with Wei Zheng. She was only thinking about 'Cui Liulang'!" Li Shimin was already gnashing his teeth when he said the last three words.
Fang Qirui was puzzled, "Your Majesty wanted to match your lord and Cui Qingji's marriage before, and because he was afraid that your lord would not get along with him, he arranged for them to get along. Now the two get along very well, and your lord is getting more and more fond of Cui Qingji. It is exactly what His Majesty wants. I feel that if Your Majesty asks your lord what he thinks about Cui Liulang at this time, good things will come true."
"Become a ghost!" Li Shimin glared suddenly, and raised his voice unhappily.
Fang Qirui was taken aback, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, he knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"It's only been a few days, and her eyes are full of 'Cui', and she doesn't have a 'father' anymore. If she gets married in the future and moves out of the palace, will she still think of my father!" Li Shimin said angrily.
"Maybe it's just this moment. It'll be fine if you think about it in a while." Fang Qirui continued to comfort him.
"What's wrong? This daughter is really raised by outsiders! Cui Qingji is definitely not a gentleman, she will coax girls into dizziness with sweet words. If this continues, the relationship between the two will become deeper and deeper, and they will be separated in the future , it will only be more troublesome."
In the past few days, Li Shimin thought for a long time, while observing Li Mingda, he also considered her and Cui Qingji's affairs.
As the saying goes, "Walking with a gentleman is like entering a house of Zhilan, and if you don't hear it for a long time, you will become with him."Going on a loan with a villain is like entering an abalone's place, and if you don't hear it for a long time, you will melt away with him'.Li Shimin felt that Cui Qingji was not a good match for Li Mingda.Good girl, before I met him, there was nothing wrong with her demeanor, temperament, and etiquette, but after getting along with him, Sizi, all these things are going in a bad direction, especially when it comes to 'unfilial piety'. aspect.
Fang Qirui was surprised: "Then His Majesty... intends to separate them?"
"Why, do you have an opinion?" Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Qirui angrily.
Fang Qirui didn't dare to say it, knowing that no matter what, he was right when he said this: "Actually, I always think that Cui Qingji is not worthy of your lord."
Li Shimin became more determined to separate the two. "Just transfer him away like this, I'm afraid the Cui family will think too much. It's better to muddy the water first, and then take advantage of the chaos to deal with it. I remember hearing you say that Wei Shuyu and Cui Qingji didn't get along because of something. .”
Fang Qirui agreed and wanted to explain the reason to Li Shimin in detail.Li Shimin waved his hand, indicating that there is no need, "It's fine if you don't deal with it, other things are not important."
Li Shimin immediately wrote the imperial decree, "Yuchi Baoqi is also considered one, he was born in a noble family, and he is the first in Mingjing, so it is not too much for a fourth-rank official."
In this way, Yuchi Baoqi is at the same level as Cui Qingji.
Immediately, Li Shimin thought of another person, wondering if he should also write this person's name, then someone sent a message saying that Princess Jinyang had sent a letter, saying that he would return tonight.
"Returning late?" Li Shimin immediately stared, "Why?"
"The princess didn't say anything."
Li Mingda raised the corners of his mouth: "You two discuss it first, and then come to me for judgment when you understand it. I will choose a house."
After Li Mingda finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the main hall at a rapid pace.Wei Shuyu and Cui Qingji hurriedly saluted and apologized to Li Mingda, looked at each other, snorted coldly, and wanted to choose to follow Li Mingda.After seeing each other's intentions, they didn't leave again.
Cui Qingji looked at Wei Shuyu indifferently, "Since Wei Shizi wants to reason clearly, and your lord also agrees, let's talk it out."
Wei Shuyu raised his eyebrows, and looked coldly at Cui Qingji with slanted eyes, "Okay, we need to clarify the theory today."
"Then please go to the East Chamber, sit down and talk." Cui Qingji still stretched out his hand to signal, trying to maintain a polite demeanor.Then he walked forward, leading the way.
After Wei Shuyu followed Cui Qingji to the east wing room, he saw the painting on the wall inside the room was signed by Cui Qingji, and knew that this room belonged to him. It also shows that he was ordered to work in the Department of Mirrors. It seems that the sage really wanted to match him up Marriage with Princess Jinyang.
After Cui Qingji asked Wei Shuyu to sit down, he asked him what he wanted to drink.
Wei Shuyu said casually, and sighed: "The Department of Mirrors cleans up quickly, and your things are also put away quickly."
"No way, our Cui family has always taught the servants well. The princess said to arrange the east chamber for me, and the servants immediately arranged it. I don't need to give special instructions." Cui Qingji praised her servants this time. To Wei Shuyu, I want him to understand that the members of the Cui family are very well-behaved from top to bottom, and no one would be so stupid as to speak ill of Wei Wanshu immediately after turning around.
Wei Shuyu smiled insincerely at Cui Qingji, "You can't explain anything by saying that. It's the same thing in every family that a servant treats his master with care. And precisely because of his loyalty, the servants follow the master's preferences. Come on. So what I said about humiliating my sister is the same as what your followers said, and now you have to admit it if you don’t admit it.”
"Where is the fallacy, I think you are deliberately finding fault." Cui Qingji stared at Wei Shuyu, "You and I both know why you are deliberately picking on me. Now that you have fulfilled your wish, you can leave. I can I assure you that the thing you are worried about will not happen. If you want to confront me in front of outsiders in the future, you can just say that we don’t agree with each other in temper and look down on each other, but don’t casually frame my conduct. .I, Cui Qingji, don't say any insulting words to women, any women. It's just a matter of giving in to each other. If you fight to the death, it will be of no benefit to anyone."
Wei Shuyu glanced at Cui Qingji, and just curled his lips into a smile, neither denying nor admitting what he said.
Seeing him like this, Cui Qingji understood what he was thinking, so he raised the teacup at hand and signaled to Wei Shuyu.Wei Shuyu immediately picked up the juice on the table, gestured to Cui Qingji, but only took a sip, and immediately got up to say goodbye to Cui Qingji.
Wei Shuyu immediately went to Li Mingda to say goodbye to the princess, but when he learned that the princess was far away in the backyard, he didn't want to bother her.Turning around and taking a few steps to leave, he saw Mu Lang, Cui Qingji's attendant, coming out of the east wing and looking towards him.After thinking about it, Wei Shuyu decided to say goodbye to Princess Jinyang.
Immediately, he asked the guard, who asked him to wait a while, and soon after, hurriedly came to inform the princess for permission, and led him to go back.
Seeing this, Mu Lang went back to the house and told Cui Qingji.
Cui Qingji smiled, sipping tea calmly, it doesn't matter.Even though Wei Shuyu has an appearance that makes all the women in Chang'an miss him, Cui Qingji also knows that Princess Jinyang doesn't like him. "The one who can see from the outside to the inside is the real handsome gentleman. The princess must not only look at the surface when looking at people."
Mu Lang nodded.
Li Mingda was staring at a bunch of winter jasmine flowers in a daze, when he heard Wei Shuyu's footsteps, he looked back at him with interest.After Wei Shuyu asked for the gift, Li Mingda immediately asked him what was the result of his verbal confrontation with Cui Qingji.
Wei Shuyu smiled and shook his head, "No result, I can argue, and he is not bad, but I have written down this grudge."
"It's just a trivial matter, just take a step back." Li Mingda sighed, and then she took the fish food that Biyun brought, and went to the stone arch bridge to sprinkle food on the pond.
The originally bottomless green pool suddenly surged with waves, and countless koi scrambled for food.
"Your lord, take a look, I really can't imagine that the koi in this pond have been left unattended for more than a year, and they can be so fat."
Li Mingda nodded, and couldn't help sighing: "It's a bit strange."
"Perhaps it's because there are many aquatic plants and insects in the pond, so I can grow so fat by myself." Wei Shuyu guessed after thinking about it.
Li Mingda nodded, feeling that what Wei Shuyu said made sense.
"Today, Shuyu offended and disturbed you. I apologize to you. I hope Haihan." Wei Shuyu saluted, and then said that if the princess needs him to run errands in the future, he will do his best.
"Forget it, you and I have known each other since we were young, and it's not that I haven't seen you when you were impulsive. But Cui Liulang's personality is not what you said." Li Mingda looked at Wei Shuyu with a deep look in his eyes. Doubtful, "You...have another purpose?"
Wei Shuyu quickly shook his head, "Don't dare, Shuyu has two problems since he was a child: first, he likes to protect his sister, and he can't bear her being wronged; second, he thinks too much of himself."
Li Mingda burst out laughing, and looked at Wei Shuyu, "Not to mention the first one, you actually know the second one."
"I know, but when things really happen, it's still hard to get rid of my bad habits. In the future, Shuyu must reflect three times a day and try to get rid of this problem." Wei Shuyu reflected on himself.
Li Mingda nodded, "This is really rare, you have a problem since you were a child. When you were in the palace when you were young, I have never seen you humble yourself."
Wei Shuyu agreed with an embarrassed smile, and apologized to Li Mingda again.
"Forget it, I don't care what happened between you and Cui Qingji, let's go." Li Mingda sent Wei Shuyu away.
Wei Shuyu didn't leave, but after saluting, he looked around and whispered to Li Mingda: "Your lord Huimin, I must have known that the sage intends to match you and Cui Liulang..."
"Your Majesty Wei, you're getting too strict!" Tian Hanshan scolded.
"Sorry to offend, but Shuyu just came up with a good idea for your lord." After Wei Shuyu said that, he looked at Li Mingda meaningfully, with full confidence in his eyes.
Li Mingda raised his hand, signaling to Tian Hanshan that there is no need to stop him, and then sent all the followers around him to stand away with a wink.
"You said, I'm curious about your 'good idea'."
"This requires your lord to answer Shuyu's question honestly first." Wei Shuyu said.
Li Mingda agreed and asked Wei Shuyu to ask.
"Does your lord want to refuse the marriage with Cui Liulang?" Wei Shuyu paused for a moment, and then said uncertainly, "I looked at your lord with cold eyes, it seems that he is not interested in him, and his attitude towards him is not as good as that of Shuyu and Yizhi brother It's better to wait with Baoqi."
Li Mingda smiled, blinked his eyes, and agreed with Wei Shuyu's statement.
After getting this confirmation, Wei Shuyu immediately cupped his hands and whispered an idea to Li Mingda.
Li Mingda was surprised, then frowned, "Your approach is a bit risky."
"The so-called bystanders are clear. From Shuyu's point of view, if your lord follows this method, things will definitely go as the princess wishes, and it won't happen." Wei Shuyu said.
Li Mingda thought for a while, "Got it, I will consider it, and thank you for your idea."
Wei Shuyu saluted with a smile, and then left gracefully.
Tian Hanshan looked worriedly at Wei Shuyu who was going away, and looked at his own princess uneasy, "Your lord, this...is this idea feasible?"
"Since he was young, he has had a lot of ideas, not all of them are good," Li Mingda sighed, "but this time it can be considered."
"I also think of the fact that your lord made him cry every time." Tian Hanshan recalled the scene at that time, and couldn't help laughing, "I'm afraid Wei Shizi still doesn't know that your lord used him to this day. That’s why he cried his nose so many times.”
"I probably don't know," Li Mingda laughed, and then warned Tian Hanshan with squinted eyes, "Now that you are grown up, there is no need to talk about such things, just keep your mouth shut."
"I know it well!" Tian Hanshan hurriedly agreed.
Li Mingda covered his mouth with his hands and yawned, "I'm sleepy, go back."
Walking to the front hall, I saw Cui Qingji was also here.Cui Qingji was inquiring about Li Mingda's whereabouts with the guards at the gate. Turning her head, she saw Li Mingda had just come back from the backyard. Knowing that she wasn't here just now, she frowned slightly, but in a blink of an eye there was a faint smile on her face. Smiling calmly, he went to salute Li Mingda and asked the princess if she had chosen a suitable room.
"If your lord has any requirements, just tell the subordinate officials, and the subordinate officials will follow up and ensure that it will be done properly." Cui Qingji begged for orders.
"Since I am the person in charge of the Department of Mirrors, it would be best to sit in the main room behind the main hall, next to your east wing." Li Mingda did not forget to add later.
Cui Qingji was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly smiled and agreed that it was his honor.
Li Mingda saw that he was really happy, so he didn't say anything. After taking Wei Shuyu to the main room, he pointed to where he wanted to be arranged, and everything was arranged according to her study in the palace.
"There are two pots of orchids here, they must bloom well." Li Mingda sighed.
Cui Qingji nodded.
"Probably that's all." Li Mingda said goodbye to Cui Qingji after finishing his orders and left.
Seeing the princess walking away, Mu Lang couldn't help but feel sorry for Cui Qingji, "Liulang, orchids that bloom well? Now they are not in good bloom, and those that can bloom are rare."
"I know there is one place, but it takes a lot of effort to get it." Cui Qingji didn't care, and asked Mu Lang to prepare the horse, and he went to ask for orchids. Let Mu Lang handle the rest of the work arrangements, "everything Follow your lord's instructions, remember, don't be negligent, I will be back tomorrow morning, it may be later, I may not be able to mention you, don't make any mistakes."
Mu Lang agreed, and hurriedly sent Cui Qingji away respectfully, and began to make a fuss.
Li Mingda went back to the Lizheng Hall without changing his clothes, so he happily went to see Li Shimin.Seeing that he was in a good mood, Li Shimin was not very interested in the courtier's report. After dismissing them in a hurry, he hurriedly called Li Mingda to him and asked her if she had any good business today.
"Naturally, it's a good thing. The Der Spiegel Division that Aye prepared for me is enough to make me happy for a long time, not to mention that you arranged for someone as powerful as Cui Liulang to help me." Li Mingda hugged Li Shimin's arm coquettishly , thank him for all his thoughtful arrangements.
"Tell me, how did Cui Liulang help you?"
Li Mingda started from how Cui Qingji arranged the Mingjing Department, "Aye said that he is not very powerful. In just one day and one night, he can send people to renovate the whole old house. The door is modified and newly built. When I went there, the mud on the wall hadn’t dried yet. The inside was even more clean, there were no weeds in the yard, and the yard was clean. There was no dust in every part of the room.”
"It's just small things." Li Shimin sighed, "But this is enough to prove that he is careful."
"Besides being careful, Sizi just realized today that he was underestimated before. He is not only modest and polite, but also a talented person. He speaks well, speaks eloquently, and has profound insights into many things. It really opened Sizi's eyes." Li Mingda sighed.
Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda in surprise, "I finally saw Cui Liulang's talent, can Aye still deceive you? I really don't know where your eyes are from before."
"I didn't know him well before." Li Mingda said.
"It's just as long as you open up your mind, and get along well with him." After Li Shimin said, his inquiring eyes fell on Li Mingda, "Aye always wants to give you the best, and when you are satisfied with him, don't be shy. Tell Aye that it is, and Aye will give you a marriage in return."
"Sizi only admires him, nothing else, Aye, don't get me wrong." Li Mingda winked at Li Shimin, emphatically.
Li Shimin laughed in satisfaction, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it."
Li Shimin then asked Li Mingda how the Meihuaan case was, and he couldn't help but sigh after learning the result.
"It's pitiful, but it's also hateful. It's just a fake mercy."
Li Mingda nodded, and then asked Li Shimin if he had ever tested Cui Qingji's talents.
Li Shimin heard Li Mingda mention Cui Qingji again, frowned slightly, then nodded with a smile, "Passed the exam."
"How does father think his ability to compose poetry compares to Sizi's?" Li Mingda asked.
Li Shimin thought for a while, "Do you want to listen to the truth?"
Li Mingda nodded.
"Of course you can't compare to him. Among the younger generation, Fang Yizhi is the only person who can compare with him in talent and learning. It's a pity that he doesn't want to be the lord, otherwise I might still consider him as a candidate for the son-in-law." .In fact, based on this consideration, Cui Qingji is better than him in keeping things in order in the future, at least he has more courage, how can a person who is afraid of trouble from the Lord Shang have much promise." Li Shimin said.
Li Mingda said awkwardly: "Aye can talk about the choice of son-in-law, so let's stop chatting and go back to sleep."
Li Mingda said goodbye to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin smiled and hurriedly coaxed Li Mingda, "Okay, okay, don't talk about these things. Talk about your sixteenth sister. I saw her again today, and she didn't look very well. If you have time to help me persuade her, you can't keep going like this. "
Li Mingda agreed, "It's better to take her to live in the palace. We will take care of her from time to time, and she will naturally relax."
Li Shimin nodded in agreement.
……
Liang Guogong's mansion.
A black cat jumped onto the table and gnawed on a plate of cut carp that had just been placed on the table.
The maid exclaimed and was about to chase the cat away, but suddenly saw a green-sleeved arm blocking her way.Turning his head, he saw a handsome side face with ink-painted eyebrows, but there was a bit of madness.The maid shuddered and quickly bowed her head to salute, it turned out that the prince had returned.
"Go down." Fang Yi said straight.
The maid promised while holding the rag in her hand, but she looked a little embarrassed when she saw that the table had just been wiped.
Luo Ge walked up to the maid, reached out to take the rag, and gave her a wink to hurry up.
"The cut carp was sent by King Han's mansion. There are not many. The son, Sanlang, and Erniang only shared one plate." The maid in charge of the courtyard replied, and then saw that the things on the table had become the cat's meal, and hurriedly Step back tactfully.
Fang Yizhi sat down at the table, reached out and wiped the black cat's back, watching it devour it.
Luo Ge finished wiping the desk, then walked to Fang Yizhi's side.
"Boil the water and let it cool down before giving it a drink." Fang Yi instructed straight.
When Luo Ge saw the black cat with the golden bell hanging on it, he immediately nodded in agreement, not daring to neglect it.
At this time, people came from outside, but they just waited at the door without making a sound.Luo Ge knew the news, so he saluted Fang Yi, then hurried out, and after getting the news, he went in and reported to Fang Yi.
"The Mingjing Division has finished the arrangement. Cui Qingji not only used the people from the yamen, but also called hundreds of servants from his own mansion to help. In just one day and one night, the interior and exterior were almost cleaned up." Luo Ge then talked with Fang Yi. He directly talked about the room allocation of Li Mingda and Cui Qingji, and then said, "Wei Shizi even went to trouble him today."
"What's the trouble?" Fang Yi didn't ask until he heard this.
"It was said that when we were in Plum Blossom Nunnery, Cui Qingji secretly laughed at his sister's ugliness. He was not reconciled, so he went to fight the injustice." Luoge replied.
Fang Yi let out a straight laugh, still looking down at the cat eating the fish.
Luo Ge couldn't understand Fang Yizhi's thoughts, and he was also puzzled, "It's strange. Wei Shizi is a bit arrogant, but he would never do such an ungentlemanly thing for no reason. Cui Qingji doesn't seem like People who can say this kind of thing, but there are also sayings that the entourage made a slip of the tongue, and when they turned around, one of their master and servant said that."
"Shuyu is protecting people." Fang Yi thought about Wei Shuyu's recent movements, and knew that the problem was not with him, but the problem must be with his sister Wei Wanshu.Wei Wanshu lived in Plum Blossom Nunnery for nearly half a year, and among the important people who came and went to Plum Blossom Nunnery during this period, there happened to be a person who is hard to talk about now.Perhaps Cui Qingji knew something, so Wei Wanshu asked Wei Shuyu for help.With Wei Shuyu's arrogant temperament, he will definitely not choose to ask the other party to solve the problem. After all, he and Cui Qingji are not familiar with each other. Taking a step back, even if the other party agrees not to tell him, such a "solution" is short-lived, and he will still be taken The handle can be a threat.So Wei Shuyu simply chose to confront the opponent and turned against each other.
If the relationship between the two parties is good, or there is no normal contact, and one party says that the other party is not good, then everyone will believe it.And the two sides are opposed to each other and slander each other. If there is no evidence for what is said, others will not believe it too much.
"My lord, should we also go to the Department of Mirrors tomorrow?" Luo Ge suggested.
"No." Fang Yizhi immediately vetoed it, and then continued to pet the cat.
Luo Ge said anxiously: "But I think that Cui Liulang is chasing after the princess, I'm afraid things will change after a long time. The saint seems to care about Cui Qingji very much. We can't just sit and wait for death. Should we consider making a move?" ?”
"Wait a few days." Hei Niu finished eating a plate of fish, then nestled in Fang Yizhi's arms and licked his claws.Fang Yi stared fondly at the cat in his arms, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.He laughed for a while, and then turned to Luo Ge for the list of current officials of the Boling Cui family.He also sent someone to prepare some food. Tomorrow is the scientific examination, he is going to visit Yuchi Baoqi.
……
The peony flowers fell, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the list.
Yuchi Baoqi took the first place in the Mingjing test, and came to Liang Guogong's mansion beamingly to thank Fang Yizhi for his guidance.Of course, he will also have a good drink with everyone in the mansion to celebrate his imperial high school.
"This is really a happy thing. Your uncle and I have always regarded you as a half-son. Now that you are in high school, we are more happy than anyone else. Now that your parents are not here, we will decide to do a good job for you." For the celebration banquet, call all your good friends who come and go, and let's have fun together." Lu Shi said happily.
Yuchi Baoqi thanked Mrs. Lu repeatedly. He is a lively person and has always had a good relationship with Mrs. Lu, so he was not polite, and immediately agreed to ask Mrs. Lu to help with the arrangement.
Lu Shi immediately made arrangements for Zhang Luo, and Yuchi Baoqi didn't have to worry about other things, he only needed to think up the list and write invitations, and she was responsible for other things.
Yuchi Baoqi mentioned a series of names, all of which were his good friends.Finally, there was another name that made Yuchi Baoqi hesitate, but she still couldn't hold back, and asked Fang Yizhi: "Do you think I can invite the princess?"
"can."
"No."
Lu Shi and Fang Yizhi spoke in unison.
Yuchi Baoqi looked at the mother and son in surprise, and smiled bitterly: "Then can I or can't I?"
Lu grabbed Fang Zhizhi's arm and glared at him: "Why not? You and Baoqi are good friends who have worked together with your lord to solve the case. Now Baoqi has a happy event. I invite her to celebrate with everyone. Isn't this everyone's favorite thing to do, why do you have any reason to obstruct it?"
"The Der Spiegel Department has just been established, so there must be a lot of chores to deal with. The princess is very busy these days, and she doesn't like to be noisy, so it's best not to disturb her." Fang Yizhi immediately looked at Yuchi Baoqi, "Of course, if Baoqi If you really want her to come, you can try, it depends on what the princess wants."
Yuchi Baoqi was stunned for a moment, nodded, then frowned, thinking about what Fang Yi said directly in his heart.Is it true that he said that Princess Jinyang doesn't like excitement?Why didn't he find out.
Lu stared at Fang Yizhi very dissatisfied, hurriedly went to pull Yuchi Baoqi, discussed with him: "But don't listen to his nonsense, I think you should invite her. If the princess sees you later, everyone will be invited, except Did not invite her, how do you feel in your heart, do you think you are not loyal enough to miss her?"
Yuchi Baoqi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Mrs. Lu is very reasonable, I will write the invitation card right away."
"Okay, let's go." Lu's sent someone to quickly prepare red paper with Yuchi Baoqi, and led him to the study.
After watching Yuchi Baoqi leave with a smile, Lu turned around and sat down, feeling that Yuchi Baoqi was a nice kid with a pleasant temperament.Afterwards, Mrs. Lu glanced at Fang Yizhi in dissatisfaction, and said sourly, "It's not like some people are as bored as a log, and their future wives are about to be snatched away, and they are still sitting here as stable as Mount Tai. Without blinking an eye."
Fang Yi straightened his eyes and drank his tea, as if he didn't hear Lu Shi's words.
Lu stared at him angrily: "Just talk about you, you are still in the mood to drink!"
"Aniang just wait for it." Fang Yi has been 'prompted' by Lu Shi over the past few days. He was always shocked, but now he has naturally developed the ability to be even more surprised.
"I'll wait? Why wait? You stay at home every day except to go to Dali Temple, not even moving, let alone looking for opportunities. How can you tell me to believe that you can let me wait? Anyway, you Make a move, work hard for it, even if you lose, it's not a shame to lose." Lu said anxiously.
Fang Yi explained clearly to Lu Shi, "This is not a competition, and the princess is not a bet, so there will be no winner or loser."
Lu Shi said angrily: "I said the wrong thing? You still pick words with me at this time!"
"Good things take time. Please wait patiently, mother." Fang Yi smiled, and ordered the servant girl to bring over the cherry juice, and he personally offered it to Lu Shi with both hands, begging her to appease her anger.
Seeing this, Lu calmed down a little, stretched out his hand to take it, and then looked at Fang Yizhi suspiciously, "You really know it, you didn't lie to me?"
Fang Yi agreed, and repeatedly asked Lu Shi to rest assured.
Lu's brows were tightly furrowed, still worried, "But you stay at home lazily every day, doing nothing, will good things come without fighting or grabbing?"
Fang Yi smiled straight, "Then you will be blessed as your son."
"Okay, okay, I can't tell you, I'll wait, as long as I have a breath, I'll wait."
Lu stared at Fang Yizhi complainingly, sometimes he really felt that his son's temper was like his father's, he would do everything gently and make people wait for everything.But she is impatient, she likes to do everything clearly.But when it comes to the final result, she is naturally not as good as the two of them, who told them that they like to 'calculate' and 'everything is ready' before doing things.When Lu Shi thought about it, he was also comforted.After all, Shangzhu is a major event, which will involve all aspects, so it is not good to be so impulsive like her, to pick everything out in a hurry, otherwise there will be unexpected occurrences.
Lu Shi patted himself on the chest, trying to persuade himself with a good temper to endure.
"Last time, Auntie said that she would wait and listen to her son's arrangements. But it's only been a while, and you forgot what you said before." Fang Yi laughed straight and 'complained'.
Lu Shi waved his hands helplessly, not wanting to admit that he had made a slip of the tongue, "Who am I for, not all for you. See, you don't have any nervous thoughts, can I not be in a hurry."
"I have it." Fang Yizhi affirmed.
Lu Shi looked at him, "That's fine, I won't rush you. I'll forget about the guarantee after a while, and I'm in a hurry. Then you'd better have a better reason to convince me, at least don't let me continue to see the current situation. This situation."
Immediately, Mrs. Lu thought of the words she had inquired from her little sister, and was so worried that her hair almost turned gray.
Right now, there is another person who is worried like Lu Shi, and that is Li Shimin.
Today, Li Shimin is in the Hall of Liangyi, and he is supposed to deal with state affairs, but because he is in a bad mood, he will not read any reports unless he is in a hurry, and he will also refuse to see all the visits of ministers.
Li Shimin sat alone in the hall, sighing for a long time.
Fang Qirui worried for a long time, and when it was noon, he persuaded Li Shimin to have a meal, and also reported the name of the dishes at noon today, all the meals were prepared with great care to cater to Li Shimin's taste.
Li Shimin couldn't get excited, so he immediately asked Fang Qirui: "Has Sizi come back?"
"It's only noon, and when the princess comes back from the Department of Mirrors, it will be late afternoon at the earliest." Fang Qirui replied.
"It's been too long." Li Shimin sighed, and then reluctantly picked up the memorial on the table, only opened it for a look, and put it down again, "Did you send someone over to look at it?"
"Look, the two of them have nothing to do, they just occasionally say a few things about the Der Spiegel Department, and they are all in public, there is nothing shameful." Fang Qirui explained.
Li Shimin frowned and reprimanded Fang Qirui for his improper use of words, "Of course there is nothing shameful, Sizi has always been a good boy who knows how to behave."
"That's true, Your Majesty, please don't worry too much." Fang Qirui said.
"How can I not be worried? You haven't seen the changes in Sizi these days? Before, she thought about greeting me every day, eating with me, and caring about what I did all day and how my body was. Now she is just dazed and giggling. You mentioned Cui Qingji to me, and even moved the ancient books in the palace out of the palace, saying that Cui Qingji hadn't read these books, so I haven't read them either!"
"Princess may move books for the sake of learning, which is considered a good thing." Fang Qirui comforted.
"A good thing? I don't even understand filial piety, so it's called self-motivated and eager to learn? Fortunately, when I started, I was happy that they got along like this. But after this month, have you seen that Sizi has become more and more obsessed and mentions Cui Qingji? I counted carefully, she changed from mentioning him once or twice a day to three or four times, then seven or eight times, and then... just yesterday, do you know how many times she said 'Cui Liulang' yesterday?"
"This... I really haven't counted it." Fang Qirui didn't show it on the surface, but he was quite surprised in his heart. He didn't expect the saint to be in the mood to count this.
"A total of 23 times. Now she talks to me for a while before dinner, and now she doesn't listen to what I say about the government, and she doesn't ask the ministers of the court how the situation is, and she won't persuade me to be less angry with Wei Zheng. She was only thinking about 'Cui Liulang'!" Li Shimin was already gnashing his teeth when he said the last three words.
Fang Qirui was puzzled, "Your Majesty wanted to match your lord and Cui Qingji's marriage before, and because he was afraid that your lord would not get along with him, he arranged for them to get along. Now the two get along very well, and your lord is getting more and more fond of Cui Qingji. It is exactly what His Majesty wants. I feel that if Your Majesty asks your lord what he thinks about Cui Liulang at this time, good things will come true."
"Become a ghost!" Li Shimin glared suddenly, and raised his voice unhappily.
Fang Qirui was taken aback, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, he knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"It's only been a few days, and her eyes are full of 'Cui', and she doesn't have a 'father' anymore. If she gets married in the future and moves out of the palace, will she still think of my father!" Li Shimin said angrily.
"Maybe it's just this moment. It'll be fine if you think about it in a while." Fang Qirui continued to comfort him.
"What's wrong? This daughter is really raised by outsiders! Cui Qingji is definitely not a gentleman, she will coax girls into dizziness with sweet words. If this continues, the relationship between the two will become deeper and deeper, and they will be separated in the future , it will only be more troublesome."
In the past few days, Li Shimin thought for a long time, while observing Li Mingda, he also considered her and Cui Qingji's affairs.
As the saying goes, "Walking with a gentleman is like entering a house of Zhilan, and if you don't hear it for a long time, you will become with him."Going on a loan with a villain is like entering an abalone's place, and if you don't hear it for a long time, you will melt away with him'.Li Shimin felt that Cui Qingji was not a good match for Li Mingda.Good girl, before I met him, there was nothing wrong with her demeanor, temperament, and etiquette, but after getting along with him, Sizi, all these things are going in a bad direction, especially when it comes to 'unfilial piety'. aspect.
Fang Qirui was surprised: "Then His Majesty... intends to separate them?"
"Why, do you have an opinion?" Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Qirui angrily.
Fang Qirui didn't dare to say it, knowing that no matter what, he was right when he said this: "Actually, I always think that Cui Qingji is not worthy of your lord."
Li Shimin became more determined to separate the two. "Just transfer him away like this, I'm afraid the Cui family will think too much. It's better to muddy the water first, and then take advantage of the chaos to deal with it. I remember hearing you say that Wei Shuyu and Cui Qingji didn't get along because of something. .”
Fang Qirui agreed and wanted to explain the reason to Li Shimin in detail.Li Shimin waved his hand, indicating that there is no need, "It's fine if you don't deal with it, other things are not important."
Li Shimin immediately wrote the imperial decree, "Yuchi Baoqi is also considered one, he was born in a noble family, and he is the first in Mingjing, so it is not too much for a fourth-rank official."
In this way, Yuchi Baoqi is at the same level as Cui Qingji.
Immediately, Li Shimin thought of another person, wondering if he should also write this person's name, then someone sent a message saying that Princess Jinyang had sent a letter, saying that he would return tonight.
"Returning late?" Li Shimin immediately stared, "Why?"
"The princess didn't say anything."
