Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Zhang Shunxin unexpectedly jumped from the second floor of the tea shop.

He fell to the ground, rolling and screaming in pain, and knocked down two passers-by, a man and a woman.A man in his twenties hugged his left leg and cried out for pain.The woman rubbed her arm, couldn't move her waist, and lay on the ground crying.But the one who cried the loudest was the boy next to the woman, who was covered in dust, with his short, fat legs sprawled, sitting next to the woman and crying loudly.The boy was only four or five years old, and was obviously frightened by the sudden commotion in front of him.

The sudden incident scared many people to scream, but after everyone recovered, they immediately surrounded the three injured people and the crying boy in a human wall.

Li Mingda turned his head to glance at the situation downstairs, and after his eyes passed Zhang Shunxin and the man's legs and faces, he confirmed that he had just heard the sound of bones breaking coming from these two people, and then ordered Cheng Chubi to save him first .

"The woman is fine. Zhang Shunxin and the man seem to have a broken leg. Carefully carry them into the tea shop and go to the doctor."

Cheng Chubi hurriedly agreed and went downstairs to do so.When he ordered his subordinates to carry Zhang Shunxin and another injured man away, he found that their legs were unable to move and the pain was severe.At this point, Cheng Chubi was able to confirm that the legs of the two of them were really broken, but at the same time, he couldn't help wondering, how could Princess Jinyang see this at a glance when she was upstairs?

At this time, the woman and the child were also helped up.Tian Hanshan went downstairs with two snacks to comfort the crying boy.

At this time, the woman's husband also rushed over. Seeing this scene, he rushed over to check his wife's injuries.The woman cried and said, "Fortunately, Dong'er is fine, I got him out in time."

After the woman's husband heard this, he shouted angrily: "Who is it? You are not alive, but you jumped off the top. If you want to die, you will die yourself, and you will come here to harm people!"

Zhang Shunxin, who was in the tea shop, had already recovered from the pain at this moment, crawled on her arms, dragged her two legs to the door and apologized repeatedly to the woman and her husband, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry You guys! But I also have my own difficulties. My brother and sister-in-law were poisoned to death by bullies, and their bones are not cold yet. Because officials and nobles protect each other and protect each other, there is no one in charge in this huge Jin land to make decisions for my dead brother and sister-in-law!"

When everyone heard it, they asked who it was.

Zhang Shunxin then called out his elder brother's name and told everyone that he was the governor of Cizhou.

"I heard that the governor died a month ago, and it's a bit strange to be with his wife."

"Oh my God, the governor was killed by someone, and no one can decide for it. If it is an ordinary person, he will have to swallow his anger."

Seeing Li Chongyi coming downstairs at this time, the common people saluted one after another.After being dismissed, it was quiet for a while, but there were too many people, and the panting was a little louder, which made it a bit noisy.

At this time, I don't know which person from behind spoke first, and they muttered in a low voice.

"Why doesn't the King of Hejian care?"

The rest followed suit.

"Didn't you listen to the one who wanted to die just now, the officials and the nobles are mutual."

"The person who can kill the assassin will naturally have a great status."

"Heh, there is no such thing as us ordinary people in this world."

……

Because of the large number of people, every time everyone said something to me, there was a commotion, and it was hard to tell who said it.The common people naturally understand the principle that the law does not blame the public, so the more they speak, the more powerful they become.

Everyone is very curious about the strange death of the governor of Cizhou and his wife.However, King Hejian, as the highest official in the Jin area, did not care about his affairs, and the people became more and more dissatisfied because of this.

Although this world is peaceful and prosperous, there are also many people who came from the previous dynasty, leaving behind many stories about officials who value fish and common people, and carelessly ignore human life.Moreover, since ancient times, the government has been regarded by most people as a place where officials do nothing and protect each other.Therefore, as soon as Zhang Shunxin said this, the people immediately believed that the sudden death of the couple in Cizhou was because they offended the nobles and were bullied to death.

Seeing this, King Hejian's entourage ordered everyone not to be presumptuous and rude.

However, after a while of silence, the common people still took advantage of the crowd, and the common people crowded behind started whispering again.Everyone looked at King Hejian with disappointment, blame and resentment in their eyes.

Seeing this, the attendants of Hejian Palace wanted to drive them away by force, but Li Chongyi raised his hand to stop them.Suppressing the people with violence is not the best policy, Li Chongyi does not want to spread the name of unvirtuous and cruel to Chang'an city.Besides, there is the most beloved daughter in front of the saint, as well as many gentlemen, so he can't ruin his good impression in front of them.

Li Chongyi regretted that he didn't read the almanac when he went out today. He lived such a long life, and it was the first time he was criticized by so many people.

Zhang Shunxin was still crying out for grievances. He used the strength of his leg pain to express his pain even more heart-piercingly, so that he finally broke his voice, crying in grief.

Li Chongyi felt that it was necessary for him to intervene in this matter, so he turned to Li Mingda and asked her what happened.Li Mingda briefly talked to Li Chongyi.

"If it is true as he said, Zhang Shunyi and his wife died of poisoning and bleeding from the seven orifices, then there is indeed something strange about this matter, and it should be investigated carefully." As soon as Li Chongyi said this, the people were all safe and sounded serious. Listen quietly, waiting for Li Chongyi's next words.

Li Chongyi frowned and thought for a moment, then strode up to Zhang Shunxin and told him that he would thoroughly investigate this matter.

"Rong Caomin first confessed to the county king. The county king intends to investigate this case, but the grass people don't dare to trust the county king. The uncle of the murderer Ji Zhiyuan involved in the case is Jiang Xia Wang, and he is the uncle who has the closest relationship with you, the county king." Although Zhang Shunxin was lying on the ground, she insisted on being tough.With a look of displeasure, he stood in front of everyone, tearing off Li Daozong's face.

After the common people marveled at Zhang Shunxin's boldness, they also applauded Zhang Shunxin's defiance of the powerful, and the whispered discussions started again.

Zhang Shunxin looked at Li Mingda who was standing behind Li Daozong, kowtowed to her, and then shouted: "Caomin Zhang Shunxin begs Princess Jinyang to be Caomin's brother and sister-in-law, and first to decide the death of Zhang Shunyi and his wife, governor of Cizhou!"

The voice was so loud that it could almost reach two miles away.

The people watching suddenly burst into flames.

"Princess Jinyang?"

"Is that Princess Jinyang?"

"Nonsense, there is only one Jinyang princess in this world."

The common people wanted to kneel down and pay respects, but they didn't know who among the people present was the princess.From a glance, behind the King of Hejian are all handsome young men, how can there be a woman, could it be that they are in the house or upstairs...

Zhang Shunxin stared in Li Mingda's direction and wanted to shout again, but Luo Ge immediately stopped her mouth.

Luo Ge then shouted loudly: "The doctor is here, let him take care of the doctor."

"Don't worry, everyone. I guarantee that Zhang Shunxin will be fine. I will also find out what he said about the governor of Cizhou and give everyone an explanation." Seeing the restlessness of the people, King Hejian quickly raised his hand to comfort him, "The two When I governed Jinzhou in [-], did there ever be riots? How could I pervert the law under the watchful eyes of everyone? If you really don’t believe me, all the children present here are not idle people, and there is indeed Princess Jinyang here. I, Li Chongyi, would like to swear Guarantee, let them supervise."

Having said so far, the common people are nothing more than that, and then dispersed under the scolding of the guards of the county prince's mansion.

Li Chongyi was no longer in the mood to continue watching the Flower God Meeting, sent Yuchi Baoqi and others to have a good time, and went back to the house first.

After everyone watched Li Chongyi leave, Yuchi Baoqi asked Fang Yizhi and Di Renjie, "Why are you here?"

After all, Yuchi Baoqi looked at Princess Jinyang, and at Fang Yizhi still indifferently.

Yuchi Baoqi suddenly frowned.

Di Renjie took the lead and said: "Brother Yizhi and I heard that there was a flower god meeting, so we came to join in the fun. Just as we found you, the king of the county, you, and Brother Changsun came towards the tea shop."

Li Mingda glanced at Yuchi Baoqi, and found that his mood today was a little bit wrong, so he stayed there more often.

Yuchi Baoqi immediately noticed Li Mingda's gaze, didn't dare to look at it, instead she nodded to Di Renjie with a smirk, said "So that's how it is", then she kept her mouth dry, never talking and teasing like before, and actually kept silent relatively.

Fang Yizhi noticed that Yuchi Baoqi was in a bad mood, and asked him what was wrong.

"It's nothing, I just had a drink with the county king, and I'm a bit hot." Yuchi Baoqi sneered at Fang Yi, and then helped her forehead.

Seeing this, Li Mingda also felt that Yuchi Baoqi was abnormal today.Perhaps he was in a bad mood today, so Li Mingda said to him: "If you are not feeling well, go back and rest first, no one here insists on your company."

Changsun Huan laughed, turned around and patted Yuchi Baoqi on the shoulder, laughing that he didn't drink well today, "But I'm not even better than me, and I haven't seen any beauties, so you got drunk first, it's weird."

"I want you to take care of it." Yuchi Baoqi pushed Changsun Huan away, and then respectfully saluted Li Mingda and Fang Yizhi, and took his leave first.

Fang Yizhi also saw Yuchi Baoqi's abnormality, and asked Zhang Sun Huan what they had just talked about that made Yuchi Baoqi unhappy.

"No, drinking and chatting, talking about everything..." Changsun Huan glanced at Li Mingda with a smile, and said to Fang Yi, "It's all about making us men feel happy. If you want to listen , I will talk to you carefully in private."

Fang Yizhi sneered, telling Changsun Huan to shut up quickly, "I don't have such a blessing, so I don't like to hear it."

Changsun Huan was about to say more, but he saw Li Mingda glaring at him.Changsun Huan coughed uncomfortably, raised his eyebrows, and looked away, intending to avoid his cousin's gaze.

"Leave him alone, everyone is in a bad mood. I guarantee that you can still see the old Yuchi Baoqi tomorrow." Di Renjie sighed with a laugh, and asked them where they are watching the Flower God Meeting, he was very grateful Interested in the selection process of Flora Association.

"Why, do you like to watch—" Changsun Huan asked hurriedly.

"Flowers." Di Ren replied seriously.

"Hahaha... look at your prospects. Then let's go to the restaurant ordered by the county king, which is better than this teahouse." After Changsun Huan said, he looked at Li Mingda questioningly. She is the most honorable here, so I have to ask its meaning.

"Okay, why not go to a better place." Li Mingda walked ahead first, and when he arrived at the private room at Tianzi No. [-] of Jixiang Restaurant, he found that the layout here was indeed a hundred times better than that of the tea shop.The furniture is all sandalwood, very delicate, and there is actually a poem inscribed by Shangguanyi on the wall, gorgeous and exquisite workmanship, one can't help feeling why he is so famous in the world.

"Look, what a poem!" Changsun Huan deliberately pointed at it, afraid that everyone would not see it.

Fang Yi glanced straight at the table, and finished it at the table, asking the doctor if there was any sencha here.

The doctor smiled and said, "Yes, we have everything you need."

"Hey, this is a bit bragging. Why do you have everything you need?" Di Renjie asked.

The doctor apologized embarrassingly, and then tentatively asked Di Renjie why he didn't make a request first.

"Then tell me one, do you have wine from the Western Regions?"

"Yes." The doctor agreed, and hurriedly fetched a jug of wine. The white jade jug and white jade cup were extremely exquisite.

Holding the white jade cup containing the purple wine, Di Renjie smelled it, and then took a sip. It was extremely sweet and cool, as if it had been chilled.He had to give in and sighed.

"This restaurant is quite luxurious, richer than my family."

Changsun Huan smiled, "A place that can be favored by the county king, if you think about it, you know it will be different."

"Do you know whose property this is?" Li Mingda held his chin, and after listening to the chat of the two doctors in the backyard of the restaurant, he looked at Changsun Huan.

Changsun Huan shook his head, "Just eat and drink, who cares who opened it. But if Nineteen Lang wants to know, I can ask for you."

"Go back and ask." Li Mingda didn't show any curiosity.

Fang Yi saw her like this, so he knew that she must have heard something, and after seeing her, he walked a few steps east.

"The Flower God Meeting has begun!" Tian Hanshan said excitedly.

This private room is a large window, specially set up for viewing the Flower God Meeting, so it is no problem for ten people to gather by the window to watch the bustle.

I saw the young ladies from various families, dressed in splendid attire, holding a pot of flowers they raised dignifiedly, moving lightly with lotus steps, and getting on the stage in order.

Among the many well-dressed women, there is only one who attracts the most attention.The material she wears is the precious tribute silk satin and jade gauze. The orchid pattern is embroidered with gold thread. Under the sunlight, the whole person is actually glowing with golden light, making her rich and noble.This woman is young and beautiful, with firm skin and good manners, and a smile on the corner of her mouth is the icing on the cake, making people unable to take their eyes off it.

Look at the orchids she holds in her hands, the fresh branches are like new ones, and the orchid leaves are slender and stretched out, like the silk of a fairy flying in the wind.The orchid is light yellow, with a plain crown and a lotus tripod, with a slightly brittle filament in the middle. At a glance, you can tell that it is the ultimate boutique among lotus petal orchids.

Li Mingda only saw this kind of orchid a few times when he was in the palace, it was enshrined by the governor of Linzhou, and his father loved it quite a lot.But later, he died because he didn't take care of him well.For this reason, Aye also demoted the four eunuchs who took care of the orchids.

Once the wind passes, you can smell the unique fragrance of orchids.

Then he looked at the flowers and plants held in the hands of other little ladies, just like the clothes worn by such girls, they suddenly lost their color.

Di Renjie stared at the orchid in the woman's arms, envious.

"Look, people look straight at women, but he looks at flowers." Changsun Huan looked at Di Renjie a little amused, and joked again.

"Everyone has their own advantages, so liking beautiful women is something worth showing off?" Li Mingda couldn't help but ask back.

Chang Sun Huan was stunned.

"Since ancient times, a gentleman's love for orchid has been a good story. Tell me, who loves beautiful people will end well? If you don't laugh at you, you should be happy. How dare you laugh at him instead." Li Mingda continued.

Chang Sun Huan choked again.

"It's nice to call it Aimeiren, but it's not nice to call it prostitution—"

"Nineteenth Lang, I know I was wrong." Changsun Huan hurriedly apologized to Li Mingda.

Di Renjie also hurriedly saluted and thanked Li Mingda. After getting up, his mouth was filled with a happy smile, and then he raised his eyebrows pretending to be complacent and glanced at Changsun Huan.It's not that he doesn't have the eloquence to refute Chang Sun Huan, it's just that he is younger and inferior to Chang Sun Huan in status, so he doesn't speak out of respect.

Di Renjie is open-minded, but he also knew that Changsun Huan was joking, so naturally he didn't care.But now that the princess spoke for him, he was still very happy, feeling suddenly elated.

Changsun Huan didn't feel annoyed after being deflated, he touched his chin with a smile, and turned his eyes to the situation of the selection of the flower god.I heard the voices of the common people shouting "Miss Zhou", it must be the woman dressed in rich and luxurious clothes holding rare orchids.

"It turns out that her surname is Zhou."

Li Mingda also turned his head to look at him, "I said, why are there a few similarities?"

"What?" Changsun Huan asked.

"Do you think she looks a bit like a princess?" Li Mingda asked.

Changsun Huan narrowed his eyes and took a closer look, "Look, everyone's surname is Zhou, and they wear this kind of tribute silk and satin, so they must be of noble origin."

"It should be the daughter of the younger brother of the princess of the county, who is currently serving as the Sixth Cao Sigong in Jinzhou." Fang Yizhi interjected lightly at this time.

Changsun Huan looked at Fang Yizhi in surprise, "Do you even know the situation of this Jinzhou magistrate?"

Fang Yizhi: "It's boring at night."

"Uh..." Changsun Huan reflected on what he had done last night, and now compared with Fang Yi, he should really feel ashamed and ashamed.

Di Renjie immediately admired him, "Brother Yizhi is amazing, he guessed here for a day, and he even knows these things. I will definitely learn from Brother Yizhi in the future. I am ready for everything, and I will be useful in the future. It is better than being ignorant when I have an empty stomach. .”

Changsun Huan heard that the young Di Renjie said so, and felt that he was not motivated.Silently pouted, at this moment he misses Yuchi Baoqi very much.No one is like-minded, it's really lonely.

"Princess!"

"Princess!"

"Princess!"

For some reason, Flower God over there suddenly called out "Princess", and the shouting became louder and louder.Some people even shouted the words "the goddess of flowers should be Princess Jinyang".

Changsun Huan and the others were stunned when they heard the commotion.He and Fang Yizhi looked at each other first, and then they both looked at Li Mingda.

Li Mingda was still leaning against the window, looking at the other side, as if he was watching the excitement, but also seemed to be in a daze.

The girls on the stage who participated in the selection of flower gods had mixed expressions of joy and sadness when they heard the words.Almost the total number of happy people felt that they had no hope of winning this time. Instead of losing to the little lady of the Zhou family, they would rather lose to the name of Princess Jinyang.Princess Jinyang has a noble status, and she is a real woman in Defang. If she loses to her, their faces will be brighter.

So now there is only one person with sadness on his face, that is, the young lady of the Zhou family who is wearing Lingyu gauze and holding a rare plain crown, lotus tripod orchid.She was confident in this competition, but she was taken away by Princess Jinyang who suddenly fell from the sky.

Li Mingda didn't know why, someone among the common people suddenly called her name, and then the voice changed from small to loud, making such a vigorous noise.

At this time, a female voice shouted from under the stage: "But the princess did not participate in the selection of the Flower God."

"What does it matter? The princess is famous all over the world. The goddess of flowers should be the first of the famous Defang women. Even if the princess doesn't take the flowers, she is better than having flowers." The young lady Sun on the stage suddenly came out gracefully. , Talk to everyone crisply.

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd cheered and called for the princess, hoping that Princess Jinyang would show up.After the teahouse incident happened just now, everyone knew that Princess Jinyang was watching the Flower God Meeting.No one is interested in paying attention to those women on the stage. Compared with seeing the real body of the princess, these are not important.

The people are still cheering.

The person in charge of this flower god meeting is Sun Shi, the wife of Jinzhou Governor Shi. Seeing that the hearts of the people are unanimous, Sun smiled and told everyone that there will be no flower goddess in this flower god meeting. As for who the real flower goddess is, everyone She knew it all in her heart, so she didn't need to say much.

"Nonsense." Li Mingda had ordered someone to inform him, but it was still a step too late.

"I think this is what the people want, very good." Changsun Huan complimented Li Mingda with a smile.

"Go back." Li Mingda obviously didn't appreciate Changsun Huan's praise, so he went downstairs first.

The rest followed suit.

Because the Flower God Club was gone and there were people all around, their horses didn't ride fast.

After a slow walk, Li Mingda and others finally arrived at Hejian Palace.

Princess Zhou, the princess of the county, learned of the news of the selection of the Flower God Association earlier, and came to congratulate Li Mingda with a busy smile.

"The princess has never shown her face, so the common people rushed to support her. It can be seen that the princess's reputation has long been known all over the world, which is truly admirable." Zhou praised with a smile.

Li Mingda smiled, "Sister-in-law should know how much lies there is, how can she believe it." There is another sentence, but Li Mingda can't explain it directly.Because it's just her suspicion, she's not sure yet.Li Mingda felt that something strange happened today, and suddenly called her, as if someone did it on purpose.

At that time, the scene was too noisy, especially around the Huashenhui stage, Li Mingda had no way to distinguish the specific source of the sound.But she could tell that the voice of choosing her to be the Flower Goddess came from one person at first, and it gradually expanded later.

"What a lie, you, you don't know how famous your reputation is." Mrs. Zhou scratched Li Mingda's nose happily, her eyes full of doting.

Li Mingda smiled and said nothing more.

After Fang Yizhi read a few local county annals in his room, he suddenly remembered Yuchi Baoqi, so he went to see him.

When I arrived, I realized that he was not resting in the house, but ran to the lake to feed the fish.Fang Yizhi went to the lake to look for Yuchi Baoqi.

The towers in the garden are tall and steep, and the water pavilion is far away from the Bichun Pavilion.On both sides of the Bichun Pavilion are vermilion railings along the way, dotted with weeping willows.

Yuchi Baoqi lazily leaned against the waterside pavilion beside the Bichun Pavilion.He hung his hands down through the railing, facing the direction of the lake, and pressed his chin on the railing, looking listlessly at the fish scrambling for food in the lake.There was only one follower standing beside Yuchi Baoqi, who was holding fish food and feeding it to Huzhou again and again, so that Yuchi Baoqi could always see the fish scrambling for food.

"What's wrong with you?" Fang Yi noticed Yuchi Baoqi's abnormality, and knew that he was not just in a bad mood for a while.

"No solution." When Yuchi Baoqi heard Fang Yizhi's footsteps, she naturally recognized him, so she wasn't surprised, and didn't look up, but just yelled in frustration.

"What is no solution?" Fang Yi went straight to Yuchi Baoqi and asked him again.

"It's a bit annoying, there's no reason to explain it, but the more I think about it, the more I can't figure it out." Yuchi Baoqi said.

Fang Yi looked sideways and asked Yuchi Baoqi to explain.

"You can talk about this with anyone, but you can't."

"That's right, then I won't force you." Although Fang Yizhi didn't know what Yuchi Baoqi was worried about, since he didn't want to talk to him, Fang Yizhi wouldn't force him either.So she stood with him by the waterside pavilion for a while, chatted about today's affairs, and then said goodbye to Yuchi Baoqi.

Not long after, Changsun Huan came over, accompanied Yuchi Baoqi in a daze by the lake, and by the way told Yuchi Baoqi what happened to him today.

Yuchi Baoqi was amused, but she was not very interested, "In front of Jiujiulang, if you insist on saying something about how beautiful the man is, the princess won't say who you are talking about."

"I misunderstood you. I thought you could understand me, but I didn't expect you to speak for Nineteen Lang." After Changsun Huan finished speaking, he poked Yuchi Baoqi on the shoulder and scolded him for being heartless.

"Oh." Yuchi Baoqi said listlessly.

"What's the matter with you?" Changsun Huan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Yuchi Baoqi to cheer him up.

Yuchi Baoqi blinked hard, forcing herself to wake up, "It's nothing."

"Also said it's okay, I see how you look like you have a serious illness, and you are listless."

Yuchi Baoqi shuddered, and asked Changsun Huan a little uncertainly, "I really seem to be sick?"

"It's more than that! Between us good brothers, what are you shying away from? Tell me about it."

"It's over, it's over, if I'm like what you said, I really have that kind of disease." Yuchi Baoqi looked up to the sky and lamented, feeling that God was unfair to him.

"What's your reason? I think you're going crazy." Changsun Huan asked.

Yuchi Baoqi looked at Changsun Huan seriously, "I told you it's all right, you have to ask."

"Good brother, I am listening with my ears upright, and I can solve your problems at any time."

"Go and cool off, I can relieve my boredom by myself." Yuchi Baoqi sent Changsun Huan away.

After a while, Yuchi Baoqi himself got tired of being bored, but he didn't want to go back to his room, because he was afraid that his room was directly next to the room.After thinking about it, he still felt that Di Renjie was the most reliable, so he came to him.

Di Renjie was painting in the house, and when he heard that Yuchi Baoqi was coming, he welcomed him in.

Yuchi Baoqi went to the table and saw Di Renjie was painting orchids, and it was a lotus tripod with a plain crown.

"This flower is beautiful, but it is rare."

"I just saw you today, it's so beautiful." Seeing Yuchi Baoqi looking at him in doubt, Di Renjie smiled and told him that he had missed the best time to see flowers at the Flower God Meeting.

"This Jinzhou actually has Su Guan He Ding." Yuchi Baoqi regretted it, but seeing Di Renjie's lifelike paintings, Yuchi Baoqi suddenly didn't feel so regretful, "Looking at your work, it is no different from what you saw with your own eyes. .”

Di Renjie smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly thanked Yuchi Baoqi for his compliment.

Yuchi Baoqi asked Di Renjie to continue painting while he watched.Yuchi Baoqi looked at it and half-opened his eyes, a little lost in thought.

"Huaiying, let me ask you something." Yuchi Baoqi smiled gently and asked, "If, if one day, both you and your good brother like a woman, what would you do?"

"Ah?" Di Renjie was stunned.

"Who are you looking at again? Could it be the dancer named Lianye that Changsun Huan loved yesterday?" Di Renjie shook his head helplessly, "You say you, eating what's in the bowl and looking at the pot. You already have a Lianhua girl, what do you think of lotus leaves, and the beauty of the lotus is still on the lotus leaves, why are you so dissatisfied?"

Yuchi Baoqi blushed: "What and what."

He wanted to explain, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't say it. It's easy to reveal too much.

"Okay, pretend I didn't ask. Tell me about the Flower God Meeting, have I really missed many beauties?" Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly said.

Di Renjie rolled his eyes at him, "Don't look for me, I'm only looking for flowers. If you want to talk about beauties, you can go to Brother Changsun. He has the same goals as you in this matter."

"Okay, okay, I know you don't understand anything, so I'll go." Yuchi Baoqi went out, and the hot face gradually returned to normal under the cool wind.

……

Chang'an City, Lizheng Palace.

Li Shimin held the embroidered handkerchief again, and began to speak on his own.

"There is really no man in this world who can treat you as well as Aye. But Aye is getting older, and he will be ahead of you after all. I hope that there will be someone who will treat you wholeheartedly in the future."

When Li Shimin said this, the tip of his nose suddenly became sore, his throat was a little choked, and a stuffy air was stuck in his chest.

"Your Majesty will live a long life." Fang Qirui hurriedly said.

Li Shimin smiled wryly, "Birth, old age, sickness, and death are natural. No one can escape, even the emperor. I only hope that when I leave, the world will be peaceful, and the people will miss me as an emperor. For these children, I must see the day she gets married and has a child."

"Your Majesty must be able to see it. Not only that, you can see the princess giving birth to children, and children reborn to children." Fang Qirui said.

Li Shimin was even happier when he heard this, laughed a few times, and sighed wondering who Li Mingda's child would look like, and whether he would inherit his appearance instead.

"Your Majesty, Wei Shuyu has returned to Chang'an."

"Wei Shuyu has returned to Chang'an, did that sis come back too? Hurry up and get ready, I will go to Chengtianmen to pick her up." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he stood up happily and wanted to go out.

The eunuch who answered hurriedly cupped his hands and said again: "Your Majesty, it is Wei Shuyu who has returned, alone."

Li Shimin froze for a moment, rolled his eyes, and sat back on his dragon chair.

"Alone? From what direction?" Li Shimin asked.

"He returned to Beijing directly from Huainan Road, that is, he said goodbye to the princess after he came out of Anzhou, and returned to Chang'an City by himself first." The guard explained.

"Hmph," Li Shimin immediately wondered if Wei Shuyu did it on purpose, and then thought that he hadn't pointed this out before, so it's not good to directly ask him why.

After half an hour.

Wei Zheng and his son begged to see Li Shimin, and knelt down with his eldest son Wei Shuyu to make amends for Wei Shuyu.

"This child is too filial. Because I have a leg problem, I went back to Chang'an City against the order. I implore the sage to punish the rebellious son severely." Wei Zhengdao respectfully kowtowed and continued to plead guilty.

Hearing this, Li Shimin felt a little better in his heart.

"Since it's because of your illness, he can be considerate if he wants to go home and honor you." Li Shimin paused, then sent the father and son away impatiently without further words.

Wei Zheng quickly thanked him, and then took his son home directly.

"Confused!" After Wei Zheng returned home and sat down, he scolded Wei Shuyu severely.

Wei Shuyu nodded, knelt on the ground obediently, bowed his head to listen to the reprimand.

"What did I tell you when I left?" Wei Zheng asked.

"Do my best to find out the case and make a good impression in front of the princess." Wei Shuyu said simply, and then looked at Wei Shuyu with some dissatisfaction, "But I want to be famous by my talent, not by the word consort."

"Confused, do you really think that you must be powerful when you become an official? Do you really think that something in your stomach is enough to go down in history? How many people whose talents are not inferior to yours are sent to remote places after they have passed the exam. He has been a county magistrate for 30 to [-] years, and he has never had a bright future." Wei Zheng somewhat hated his son for his good ideas.The child had always been well-behaved and listened to him.So Wei Zheng never expected that Wei Shuyu would decide on his own during this trip, leaving Fang Yizhi and the others, and returning by himself.By doing so, on the one hand, he will easily leave a bad impression among his disciples, and on the other hand, the princess and the saint will be suspicious of Shuyu's actions.

"What nonsense! Now that you have come back for the sake of filial piety, then you should simply complete your filial piety. Copy the scriptures of filial piety, at least twenty times a day, until Princess Jinyang and others come back."

"What's wrong with my actions?" Wei Shuyu frowned, and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction. "You never married a princess before, and you are as decent and beautiful as you are now. My son takes you as a role model, why not? I, Wei Shuyu, will marry you today I swear, in the future, I will definitely stand out from others based on my own merits, and I will never surrender to the Lord!"
