The Grand Princess

Li Rong looked at Pei Wenxuan leaning on the pillar in front of him, and was a little stunned when he saw him smiling. Seeing that she was not speaking, Pei Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, why are you not speaking?"

"It's nothing," Li Rong came back to his senses, and led Pei Wenxuan out, smiling, "Let's go."

Pei Wenxuan followed Li Rong, and Li Rong remembered: "What are you doing in such a hurry?"

"Huh?" Pei Wenxuan was a little confused, and Li Rong reminded him: "Why did you do it?"

Pei Wenxuan did not speak. After a while, he laughed: "I'm impulsive."

"Oh?" Li Rong turned around and laughed, "What is your impulse?"

"I thought you were going to jump off the building."

Pei Wenxuan was a little embarrassed: "I'm worried."

"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong showed a surprised expression, "I thought you wanted to kill me and inherit my property sooner."

"Kill you," Pei Wenxuan couldn't laugh or cry, "I can't inherit your property, and if you die in this kind of place, I'm afraid to bury you."

"I love to hear you."

Li Rong nodded, Pei Wenxuan was a little puzzled: "What are you talking about?"

"Funeral." Li Rong looked up at him, her eyebrows moved, "If I die, I always feel a bit lonely without taking Master Pei."

"You really love me." Pei Wenxuan sighed helplessly, "Think of me for anything bad."

"Yes," Li Rong was happy, "good things don't necessarily want you, bad things are always right."

Pei Wenxuan gave her a white look, was too lazy to care about her, speeded up his pace, and walked out.

When he walked out the door, he raised his head and glanced at the gardenia that was blooming in the distance.

In fact, he also wanted to know what he was doing in such a hurry.

The two got on the carriage and returned to the princess mansion together. As soon as Li Rong arrived in the mansion, he ordered to go down and let people stare at Concubine Rou and Shangguanya.

Pei Wenxuan couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Just staring at Shangguanya, what are you staring at Roufei for?"

"You know what," Li Rong leaned on the chair, holding a tea cup, "The woman in the harem has to rely on another woman to do things."

Pei Wenxuan heard this, thought about it, nodded and said, "It is true."

After the two came back to rest for a while, Pei Wenxuan went to check the progress of his current expansion. He retrieved all his former subordinates and began to contact beggars in the city, planting spies from various provinces, and spending money every day. After spending money, he naturally wants to see the effect, so he has to pay attention to the specific situation every day.

When Pei Wenxuan spends money, Li Rong will check the accounts. Pei Wenxuan is busy with her. Li Rong starts to check her income and expenditure this month, and then read the news from the spies and burn them one by one.

One of them was busy setting up his own dark web, the other was busy visiting friends from all walks of life, coming home to give money and gifts, and the nine-day wedding leave soon passed halfway.

At this time, Huajing began to spread some songs.

As soon as this song appeared, it reached Li Rong’s ears. At that time, she was not awake, lying on the bed and slept in a dazed manner, and then listened to Pei Wenxuan saying: "Phoenix fell to the official house, flowers bloom Four generations of prosperity continue."

When Li Rong heard this, she woke up suddenly. She raised her eyes to Pei Wenxuan who was sitting next to him and threw a piece of paper into the brazier. She shook her head and said, "What did you read just now?"

"Recent rumors in Huajingli."

Pei Wenxuan laughed: "It seems that your friend is indeed doing it."

There are no ballads in Huajing that have been spread for no reason, especially this kind of ballads with phoenix foretelling.

Pei Wenxuan drew another piece of information from the side and said casually: "She is so courageous. You told her that the emperor is eyeing Shangguan, and even dared to spread such a ballad."

"It shouldn't be her."

Li Rong yawned and got up and announced Jinglan to come in to serve.

Jinglan Jingmei and others came in and began to dress Li Rong. While Li Rong was still playing with them, she said: "She is not a lunatic, no matter what she wants to do, she will definitely not use this method."

Pei Wenxuan listened, thought about it, and reacted: "You mean the one in the palace?"

"She didn't even say last time, did she want her son and niece to marry in?"

"Your Majesty will not allow it." Pei Wenxuan looked down at the intelligence and said lightly, "Identity is too low."

"So she wants everyone in Huajing to sing this ballad." Li Rong raised her eyes to Pei Wenxuan and smiled. "Sing this ballad, maybe Father has other ideas?"

Li Ming has never been a gentle monarch, and it may be an excitement for Li Ming to be able to spread such songs.

If it is on weekdays, Li Mingjue would not let Roufei's niece be a princess. But now that such ballads are sung throughout the city, Li Ming may have other ideas.

If she is Roufei, she will do the same.

And why did Rou Fei suddenly come to do this at this time...

Li Rong laughed, thinking it was so interesting.

When the song began to spread, Li Rong guessed that there would be actions in the palace next step. As expected, she had received news from the palace in the afternoon, saying that it was the Qixi Festival in five days and the queen was going to be in the palace. Set a banquet for men and women of aristocratic age to attend.

There is a palace banquet on the Qixi Festival, which is related to Li Chuan, Li Rong thought about it, and then ordered someone to go directly to the palace.

When she went, Li Chuan happened to be there. The queen was talking to Li Chuan. Li Rong informed him and saw that neither of them looked very good. She couldn’t help but laugh: “Oh, what are you talking about? Talk to me with both of them so frowning?"

"Why are you here?" When the queen saw Li Rong, her expression was a little bit of joy. Li Rong laughed and sat next to the queen. "The mother joked, I just left the palace, not married to Fanbang. , Huajing stayed all day, taking the time to see you, what's so strange about it?"

The queen laughed as she listened to Li Rong's words. She looked at Li Rong for a moment, and said with some worry: "That person Pei Wenxuan..."

"Very good," Li Rong knew what she wanted to ask, and interrupted her, "Yes, don't worry, can I make myself suffer?"

The queen looked at her daughter, she wanted to say something, then sighed, and said helplessly: "Forget it, since you are married, you can have a good time. You are not relying on him after all."

"Don't talk about him," Li Rong knew that the queen always disliked Pei Wenxuan's identity, and she didn't know what was wrong. She didn't think she disliked Pei Wenxuan, but others disliked him. She always felt so uncomfortable, so she Turning the subject, he said directly, "I received a post from the palace. I heard that you are planning to hold a banquet in the palace on Qixi Festival. Are you considering Chuan'er's marriage?"

"Where am I going to do it?" The queen smiled bitterly, "This is what Concubine Roux wants to do. She has asked your majesty to do something she has to do."

"Oh," Li Rong nodded, "She is interested."

"The messy ballads outside are sung every day," Li Chuan sneered. "She has a lot of experience."

"You heard it too," Li Rong turned to look at Li Chuan, smiling, "You are not stupid."

"Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone." Li Chuan's eyes showed a little contempt, "I use these tricks all day long."

"She's not a day or two," Li Rong remembered. "She plans to have this Qixi banquet. What do you know for?"

"About to introduce her niece," the queen thought, and said slowly, "I'm afraid it will be a banquet. I'm asking someone to bribe someone on her side to see if I can get the news."

Li Rong nodded and knew about the situation. The queen saw her worried and comforted: "No matter, it's not a big deal. The people in charge of the palace banquet are all from my side. The soldiers will come to cover the water and earth. They will ask There must be a reason, and it's just a matter of guarding that time. If you really ask, they won't give Chuan'er a face," the queen sneered, "don't blame this palace for not giving them face."

"Look at the queen mother," Li Rong got up and stood behind the queen, pinching her shoulders, "Where does she have this ability? Mother, don't worry, you are Tathagata Buddha, Roufei is Sun Wukong, you can't turn your Wuzhishan."

The queen laughed at Li Rong's words.

Li Rong confirmed the news and felt relieved. The three of them stopped talking about the topic just now, and started discussing Li Rong's marriage.

When Li Rong returned to the palace for the first time after getting married, the queen was reluctant to leave her, so she stayed in the palace. Pei Wenxuan didn't see Li Rong coming back at dinner time. He checked the sky and decided to pick her up.

The past few days have been dinners with Li Rong. He was alone in the house and didn't know what was wrong. He didn't even want to eat food anymore.

When Tong Ye saw that Pei Wenxuan didn't eat any food, he wanted to pick up Li Rong. He couldn't help but laughed: "The son is so kind to the princess. How long will the talent be absent?

Pei Wenxuan glared at him, looked at some umbrellas in the corner, chose an umbrella painted with reeds, and whispered: "It's good to drive your horse and ignore my nosy."

Tong Ye chuckled and did not speak any more. Pei Wenxuan took the umbrella and got into the carriage. When sitting on the carriage, he raised his hand and looked at the clouds accumulated outside, thinking that he too had too little official duties and too much time, and it was so bored. , Thinking about picking up Li Rong.

But think about Li Rong again. In fact, he really likes people to be with him. If he comes back by himself, he will probably feel bored. He will pick her up and play chess on the road, she will probably be happy too.

Thinking that she was happy, Pei Wenxuan didn't think it would be boring to do these things on her own. I feel that I am a good person, so I can do good things every day.

He went to the palace happily. Li Rong and Empress Li Chuan had dinner. The queen was sleepy early and a little tired, so he asked Li Chuan to send Li Rong out. Li Rong and Li Chuan walked out of the queen’s courtyard. Cai said: "I saw that you and the queen didn't look good, but they had a fight?"

"It's not a quarrel, right." Li Chuan was a little helpless, "It's just... a quarrel."

"Isn't this a quarrel?" Li Rong laughed, "What's the dispute?"

Li Chuan didn't speak, and Li Rong knocked him with a fan: "How old will I be to hide things with Sister A?"

"Nor." Li Chuan smiled bitterly, "Just say it, I'm afraid you will laugh."

"Huh?" Li Rong raised her eyebrows, "Then tell me."

"The queen mother just told me that she wants me to marry more than a prince. I think this time, I can find more girls, and almost settle down together. She is optimistic about the person, let me pick one."

"Are you not happy?" Li Rong heard his words, and Li Chuan was silent.

Li Rong laughed: "What are you not happy about? It's too late to marry so many good girls, how many people are envious."

"But, what if one day I like someone?"

Li Chuan suddenly said, Li Rong's face froze, Li Chuan raised his head and looked at her seriously: "If one day, I like a person, and she likes me too. I have so many wives, what should she do? I promised my mother, that means, in this life, I am not qualified to like someone again."

Li Rong did not speak, and Li Chuan continued: "Also, take a step back, even if I am not qualified to like someone again. Then it is enough for me to marry a princess. I can only treat her well, and no woman can tolerate it. My husband has been shared by others, and the queen has been suffering for a lifetime. Do I want to ruin others and make others suffer for a lifetime?"

Li Rong lowered his eyes, Li Chuan saw Li Rong not responding to her, and he smiled bitterly: "I know, sister, you must think I am naive. I just casually said to you, I know I am the prince, I will bear it. I cannot be willful in keeping with the expectations of you and my mother."

"It's okay, I understand."

Li Chuan seemed to be a little tired. He looked at the palace gate and said gently: "Sister, go back first. I'll send you here. I'm tired."

With that said, Li Chuan saluted, turned around, and headed back to the East Palace.

Li Rong quietly looked at his back. At that moment, she seemed to see Li Chuan afterwards. He was separated from her by a screen, which outlined his thin outline.

At that time he was taller and thinner than he is now, and he was very close to her, as if far away.

Li Rong didn't know what was wrong, she felt an unspeakable soreness coming up. She suddenly felt that this imperial city looked like a behemoth that swallowed people. It was obviously the summer breeze in early July, but it swept through a bit of coolness and thunder. , Rumbling past her, blowing her mind and body cold.

The big raindrops fell, and Li Rong was startled.

At that moment, an invisible warmth suddenly stuck behind her, and a paper umbrella painted with reeds was supported on top of her head.

The person blocked the cold wind for an instant, and a voice with a little surprise and a faint smile sounded behind her: "What are you doing stupidly standing here, don't you know how to go home after it rains?"

Li Rong froze and looked back at Pei Wenxuan who suddenly appeared. Seeing her surprised look, Pei Wenxuan raised his brows: "Why, I'm not happy to come?"

"No," Li Rong reacted, she said slowly, "You came very well."
