The Grand Princess

Hearing what Li Rong said, Pei Wenxuan saw that Li Rong looked different, and looked Li Rong up and down, and couldn't help but say: "What are you doing? Are you bullied in the palace?"

"What are you thinking about?" Li Rong took a fan and knocked on Pei Wenxuan's head, then turned and said, "Go."

The carriage was outside the palace gate, Pei Wenxuan chased Li Rong up, and put the umbrella on her head, rather unhappy and said, "Just talk and knock on my head for what you do?"

"I like it."

Li Rong glanced at him obliquely, and Pei Wenxuan was rather helpless: "I found that you and the other people were fine. Whenever I see me, I will move my mouth and feet. Your Highness, you have to change your habit."

"If you have a problem, look for yourself more," Li Rong listened to Pei Wenxuan's complaint. She didn't know what happened. She felt that Cai's emotions had been diluted. She just thought about how to confuse the people in front of her, so she was in the carriage. Educating Pei Wen to preach, "Think more about why I didn't trouble others, so I asked you."

"Oh, I know this very well," Pei Wenxuan sighed. The two got into the carriage, Pei Wenxuan took the umbrella, and Li Rong poured tea for herself. Hearing Pei Wenxuan said helplessly, "I can only blame me for being too tricky. People love it, and your Highness can't keep your heart."

Hearing this, Li Rong was about to squirt out a sip of tea. She stopped forcibly in time, choked back to her trachea and coughed quickly.

Seeing her coughing quickly, Pei Wenxuan stopped playing, and hurriedly came forward, patted her back and said: "Next time you talk, don't drink tea."

Li Rong raised his eyes and glared at him. Her beautiful watery eyes were stained with coughing, and she suddenly lost his usual aura. It seemed to be full of Qiushui, like an angry look, and Pei Wenxuan didn't know how. Suddenly, a spirit of excitement spread all the way from his heart to his fingertips. After touching the warm and soft skin under his hands, he turned back again. As he went back and forth, he shattered the bones of his body and shook his mind.

Li Rong was relieved, and when she saw that Pei Wenxuan didn't know what was wrong, she stared at her in a daze. She couldn't help poking Pei Wenxuan with a fan, and said strangely: "What are you looking at?"

Pei Wenxuan returned to his senses in an instant, calmly got up, sat down a bit far away from Li Rong, and smiled: "It's nothing, just remembered something suddenly. Oh," Pei Wenxuan turned the topic off, "You were just you. What are you standing at the gate of the palace in a daze?"

When Li Rong heard Pei Wenxuan's question, she smiled, and only said: "Today the same mother asked about the palace banquet, and said it was raised by Concubine Rou and your majesty. I guessed that Concubine Rou was afraid to have a banquet in the palace. Please give me a marriage."

"Just such a thing can make you worry like this?" Pei Wenxuan couldn't believe it, and looked her up and down, "It's not like you."

Li Rong didn't bother to pay attention to him, and took the chess box from the side, only saying: "Half-way is boring, let's talk about a game."

Li Rong's invitation, Pei Wenxuan also happily accepted, sat across from her, took the chess piece, grabbed black and white with her, and started to place the pieces.

The chess pieces interlaced black and white. Li Rong looked at the chessboard and slowly calmed down. Whether it was happiness or sadness, it seemed to have become a lot more distant. Only then did Li Rong ask: "By the way, I have always been strange."

"Ok?"

"In the last life, why did Chuan'er become like that?"

Li Rong slowly said: "He became the emperor and unified the north. He also eradicated the aristocratic family. He has everything he wants." Li Rong looked up at Pei Wenxuan, "Why, he still lives so painful ?"

Pei Wenxuan did not speak, and Li Rong frowned, "Is it because Qin Zhen really died? Can you remember so long as a cute person?"

"Does your majesty know why your majesty must unify the north?"

Pei Wenxuan looked at the chessboard and only asked such a sentence. Li Rong thought: "Because of the perennial anxiety in the North, the people suffer?"

"Of course this is the reason," Pei Wenxuan laughed. He glanced at Li Rong and said, "What else?"

Li Rong shook her head: "He never told me."

"One year, I had a drink with His Royal Highness Prince. He once told me that for eight years, the Northern Territory and Da Xia were in a bad relationship. The family chose peace talks for stability, so Princess Yunyan and her relatives went to the Northern Territory, Da Xia. Give twenty million silver, five hundred beautiful women, plus cows, sheep, horses, silk and silk. A year later, Princess Yunyan died in the northern border. Her Majesty declared that she had died of illness, but the people in the palace knew that. Princess Yunyan died in the harem of Rong State."

"His Royal Highness told me that you were too scared to go to bed that night. You have been asking the queen if one day you will be like Princess Yunyan, and you will go to the north with no return date."

Li Rong's eyelashes trembled slightly and her voice was flat: "I forgot."

"His Royal Highness remembered that from that moment on, His Highness told himself that one day, he would definitely go up the Northern Expedition, so that the barbarians in the north would bow their heads and dare not commit any more."

"I don't know," Li Rong chuckled, "It turns out that he had the idea of ​​the Northern Expedition so early."

"So, His Royal Highness is different from you," Pei Wenxuan surrounded Li Rong's **** on the chessboard. He raised his hand and said slowly, "All he wants to have and do in the court comes from There are certain feelings in his heart. He wanted to expedition to the north to protect his subjects and his family. He confronted the family to ensure that what he wanted to achieve was achieved. But in the end his goal of going to the court seemed to be achieved, but he also Having lost what he originally wanted forever, why would he be happy?"

"Lost Qin Zhenzhen?" Li Rong laughed mockingly.

"He lost you, lost his mother, lost his wife, and lost himself. Even if he sits on mountains and rivers, it doesn't make much sense to His Royal Highness."

"He can't find a way back, and there is no way back. If you don't understand this, you will never understand His Royal Highness."

Li Rong did not speak, she quietly looked at Pei Wenxuan: "What does it mean to lose me?"

Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes and looked at Li Rong.

"His Royal Highness," he smiled helplessly, "It's not just His Royal Highness that has changed over time."

Li Rong was stunned, Pei Wenxuan lowered her eyes and said indifferently: "There are still you and me."

Li Rong did not speak, her face was calm, Pei Wenxuan's words seemed to have no effect on her. She settled down calmly, and then stretched out her hand to serve the tea, but the moment she touched the tea cup, she found her hand trembling unconsciously.

Pei Wenxuan pretended not to see it, and looked calmly at the chessboard.

He watched the chess game for a while, raised his hand and gently pulled the wide sleeves, and dropped the chess piece on the board.

"Those who forsake me shall not stay. The past is gone."

"Your Highness," Pei Wenxuan looked up at her, with a smile in his eyes, "It doesn't matter if this round is lost, right?"

Li Rong did not speak. After a long time, she laughed and raised her hand to drop the chess piece on the board.

In an instant, Pei Wenxuan lost most of the country.

Li Rong looked at the chessboard and raised the chess pieces. While raising the pieces, he smiled and looked at Pei Wenxuan and said, "You are the one who loses, but there is none in this palace."

Pei Wenxuan stared at the chessboard in a daze, and then reacted: "Just then did you deliberately tease me?"

Seeing Pei Wenxuan's face in shock, Li Rong burst into laughter and said happily: "Soldiers don't hate fraud. You don't talk to you today. How did I win?"

"Sure enough, it is difficult to raise only women and villains." Pei Wenxuan put his hands in his sleeves and shook his head. "I have learned this today. I can't talk to you when I play chess in the future."

"Don't," Li Rong said with a smile: "You talk to me more, I like it."

Pei Wenxuan showed a look of disgust, sitting aside and didn't want to pay attention to Li Rong.

Li Rong and him were burying each other, and there was nothing to say when they arrived at the princess's mansion. After getting off the carriage, Li Rong went back to the room. She got familiar with her and fell asleep. Pei Wenxuan went to work for a while before returning to the house. When he arrived at the door, he saw Jingmei and Jinglan standing at the door. He beckoned to Jingmei. Jingmei came up with some doubts. Pei Wenxuan said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness has a conflict with the Prince in the palace?"

"That's not true," Jingmei shook her head and said honestly, "Just after a while, it seems that the prince doesn't want to marry the concubine. After finishing speaking, your highness is not very happy. Please comfort her. ."

As she said, Jingmei squeezed her eyes: "His Royal Highness talked to her husband, and she was much more happy."

Pei Wenxuan smiled, did not say much, just said: "Don't tell your Highness I will ask you this."

"The slave and maid understand that the consort is secretly concerned."

Pei Wenxuan was so embarrassed when Jingmei said this. He coughed lightly and waved: "Don't be fooling around, go on."

Jingmei pursed her lips and returned to her original position with a low smile, Pei Wenxuan pushed the door in. Li Rong was already asleep. After washing in the dark, he returned to the bed.

He lay on the bed for a while, Li Rong vaguely said: "Are you just sleeping now?"

Pei Wenxuan replied in a low voice at night, Li Rong turned her back to him and slept in another bed. Her figure was very thin and her whole person looked small.

In fact, when Jingmei said, Pei Wenxuan almost guessed what Li Rong was talking about with Li Chuan. He knew Li Rong’s weight in Li Rong’s heart and also knew Li Rong’s temper. Thinking about the life of Li Chuan, I must be unhappy.

He intuitively felt that he should persuade Li Rong, but he didn't know what to persuade. If Li Rong was sad, he would like to cover it up by himself and let others know. If you make it too obvious, she becomes embarrassed and afraid of counterproductive effects.

But if he doesn't say a word...

He felt that Li Rong in that life seemed to be no different from the previous life. Whether he is there or not, Li Rong is going to wade through all the pains alone.

When he thought about it, he felt that he was not kind.

Although Li Rong was a little arrogant, she was actually very good-minded and treated him well. He inherited Li Rong's kindness and should take care of her.

So he thought for a moment, and finally said awkwardly: "Your Highness."

"Ok?"

"I came to pick you up today, are you happy?"

Li Rong slowly opened her eyes at night when she heard this.

She wanted to bury him a few words, and suddenly remembered the warmth that this person gave when the wind and rain came, standing behind her. She couldn't speak for a while, so she whispered: "It's okay."

Pei Wenxuan laughed. He stood up on his feet and said happily: "After that, every time you go out, I will pick you up. Then when you come back, you will not feel bored if you have someone to be a companion. "

Li Rong heard Pei Wenxuan's words, she turned over and looked at Pei Wenxuan seriously.

"Pei Wenxuan," she stared at him, "you tell me the truth."

"Ok?"

"Are you asking for money again?"

Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong's solemn eyes, and was speechless for a while. He felt that he had been a donkey liver and lungs with good intentions, so he turned over, pulled the quilt, and muttered: "The dog bit Lu Dongbin."

Li Rong was happy when she heard this. She lay flat on the bed. After a while, she kicked Pei Wenxuan: "In the future, before you and I go away, come pick me up every day, have you heard?"

"Not going."

Pei Wenxuan closed his eyes: "Go to sleep, you have everything in your dreams."

Li Rong knew that he was telling the truth, and ignored him, and fell asleep with a smile.

When she was lying on the bed, she didn't know what was wrong, and she felt a lot happier. She felt that no matter how bad the previous life was, it seemed that it could be changed.

Even Pei Wenxuan, a dog thief, can talk to her so well, what can't be changed?

Li Rong closed her eyes and went to sleep with a smile.

The two stayed at home for a few days. Pei Wenxuan and her were drinking tea and playing chess. They wandered around, and the wedding leave was over.

When Pei Wenxuan started to go to court, Li Rong went to various tea houses to listen to scholars’ talks and see if he could meet a few people who could use them, or go to other aunts living outside. Go drop in there and connect with some feelings.

In the blink of an eye, on the seventh day of July, the queen held a banquet in the palace and invited all the young men and women of the courtier's home to enter the palace to celebrate Qixi Festival. Li Rong waited for a long time for this day, she was ready early, and led Pei Wenxuan into the palace ahead of time. After arriving in the palace, Li Rong sorted out the people in the palace in her heart, and then raised her eyes to Pei Wenxuan: "Give you so much money, shouldn't it be useful?"

Fei Wenxuan had no choice but to give her two names: "These two are the people who serve today. If there is something wrong, you can find them."

Li Rong nodded, and then said: "Do you know anything special in the palace banquet today?"

"Others are normal, but I heard about one thing." Pei Wenxuan leaned against the table, looked at the folder in his hand, and said slowly, "This time the palace banquet prepared many identical incense burners, and also put in a lot of spices."

"Ok?"

After hearing this, Li Rong thought for a while and said, "Are they going to make perfume at the banquet?"

"If you want to ask for a marriage, naturally you need some reasons."

Pei Wenxuan said directly: "I heard that Concubine Rou would recommend that girl who is very good at perfumery."

When Li Rong realized it, she laughed: "It seems that tonight will be interesting."

Pei Wenxuan responded without saying much. Li Rong leaned forward and looked at the dice he was looking at, and found that they were all involved.

In the previous life, Pei Wenxuan was born in Yushitai, but this is his line of business. Li Rong held his chin and said, "You are very busy."

"The new official has three fires," Pei Wenxuan laughed, "Your Majesty intends to use me as a knife, so naturally he has to help him see some blood. If I don't work hard, can I get promoted? Go ahead a little bit," Pei Wenxuan raised his hand and pulled the curtain. Pulling a little away, he glanced at Li Rong disgustingly, "You blocked me."

Li Rong shrugged. She moved her position and took a book aside. After reading it for a while, she felt bored again. Thinking of the banquet in the palace, she couldn't calm down, and turned around to preach with Pei Wen: "Don't you have any other feelings?"

"What's your mood?" Pei Wenxuan looked at the document, calmly. Li Rong poked him with a fan: "I want to see your real sister today."

Pei Wenxuan's movements stiffened, he raised his head and frowned: "Are you all bored?"

Seeing that he was really angry, Li Rong hurriedly straightened up, and coughed lightly, "Just talk about it. Today, Qixi Festival, don't read the official document first," Li Rong took away his hand. Zhezi looked at him and said, "Talk about personal matters, Qin Zhenzhen is going to see Chuan'er today, aren't you worried?"

"What do I need to worry about?"

"What if they look right?"

"Isn't that something you are worried about?" Pei Wenxuan gave her a cold look and went to get her own account. Seeing that he didn't want to pay attention to herself at all, Li Rong held her chin and said: "I'm thinking about you, don't you first Let's do it, and cultivate a relationship with Qin Zhenzhen. What if she wants to marry after we get married?"

"It's not my business?"

Pei Wenxuan said directly, and then he did not wait for Li Rong to speak, and immediately said: "You should care more about Su Rongqing's coming tonight instead of caring about this. Why do you say a few more words to him."

Li Rong was choked by him. Pei Wenxuan saw that she was dumb and raised her eyebrows and smiled: "But it's not good for you to say more now, don't worry, I will help you hint him tonight."

"Dark... what is the hint?" Li Rong was a little scared. Seeing that she was scared, Pei Wenxuan pursed his lips and smiled, looking down at Zhezi, and stopped talking.

Li Rong was quiet for a while, but couldn't help but poke Pei Wenxuan with a fan: "What are you suggesting?"

"It implies that we are a fake husband and wife, and we will get together in the future, so that if you contact him in the future, he won't care about me."

Pei Wenxuan looked down at Zhezi and didn't know what was going on. He felt a little chest tight when he said this.

But he restrained his emotions. He thought he didn't like Su Rongqing for a long time, and it has become a habit. If he wants to help Li Rong, he has to adjust his mentality.

Li Rong heard that Pei Wenxuan was so planned and capable of execution, she coughed slightly, "Actually, I think that Su Rongqing and I are not..."

Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes and looked over, Li Rong suddenly remembered what Pei Wenxuan said that night.

She was afraid that Pei Wenxuan would recite her the same way, and vaguely, she also felt that maybe according to Pei Wenxuan's words, try again, it might not be... not a good thing?

I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, but I am in this mountain. Pei Wenxuan is an outsider, maybe he sees it more clearly than her.

Just as she looked at Pei Wenxuan, she had to see herself more clearly than Pei Wenxuan.

Although she felt a bit strange in her heart, she still reluctantly accepted: "Then I will talk to Qin Zhenzhen."

"No need." Pei Wenxuan said immediately, "it's not time."

"Indeed," Li Rong nodded, "I also think it's a bit early. So you don't have to talk to Su Rongqing too much."

"Just mention it like this."

The two spoke in unison and reached a certain inexplicable understanding.

The two chatted all the way to the palace. By the time there were already a lot of people, Pei Wenxuan smiled and greeted others when he saw his colleagues. Li Rong greeted him and went to the women's seat.

The male seats for the banquet were in the main hall, and the female seats were set up in the Royal Garden. When Li Rong passed by, many women from the family had already arrived.

Shangguanya was born tall and was talking to Miss Su's family and several princesses. Her voice was not high and she spoke smoothly, but because of her clear voice, Li Rong heard Shangguanya's voice as soon as she entered the garden. . She raised her eyes and looked over. Shangguanya heard the voice announcing her coming in. After seeing it, she just swiped it lightly, and moved her gaze away as if she had never seen it before.

Then she got up with everyone and saluted Li Rong together.

She has an elegant and dignified manner, no different from the person in Li Rong's memory, but she is completely at odds with the girl in the gambling shop before.

Li Rong wanted to laugh for a while, but she suppressed her smile, walked to Shangguanya, took her hand and said, "Sister Aya is also here today."

Shangguanya's body was a little stiff, she grudgingly laughed, but said: "Your Highness is really early."

"Sister Aya is not too late. Is it the first time to enter the palace today?"

"I came here once when I was young." Shangguanya slowly calmed down, relaxed a lot, and talked with Li Ronggui.

After the two talked for a while, people almost came. Li Rong saw that Qin Zhenzhen also talked to a few girls and walked in with a smile, and then was led to sit behind Shangguanya.

There were too many female guests, and the seats became several rows. With Qin Zhenzhen's identity, she naturally couldn't be in the left and right first row, so she retreated to the top of the second row, just behind Shangguanya.

Li Rong speculatively glanced at Qin Zhenzhen, and saw that Qin Zhenzhen seemed to have never seen her before. Without squinting his eyes, he respectfully saluted: "I have seen her."

Then she looked at Shangguanya and politely saluted: "I have seen Miss Shangguan."

Li Rong and Shangguanya replied, and they said hello. Qin Zhenzhen sat in his seat, watched his nose and nose, and stopped talking in a regular manner.

There was an announcement that the queen was seated, and Li Rong stopped staying any more. She stood up and said with a smile, the same as Guan Ya: "My palace is back to the table first. Sister Aya is free."

Shangguanya gave a gift to Li Rong, and Li Rong sat opposite Shangguanya, and then saw the queen leading the other four concubines to the table. Everyone got up and saluted. After the queen sat in the seat, she asked everyone to get up and sit down.

"This is the Chinese Valentine's Day. You were supposed to spend the festival at home, but this palace deliberately recruited you all because it was not as good as everyone else." The Queen opened her mouth and laughed, "Don't feel resentful."

"The mother and the queen laughed," Li Rong answered the queen in the seat, "young girls love to be lively, you invite everyone here, it's too late for everyone to be happy."

When Li Rong said that, there were successive voices of consonance from the next station, and the scene became lively for a while, and when you said something to me, you have a conversation.

The queen relaxed and announced the opening of the seat according to the procedure. The main hall in front was hosted by Li Ming, leading Li Chuan's banquet young ministers.

A group of young girls started playing around after eating, took the needle and thread for a long time, and then began to make a wish.

Li Rong was already married, and she had indeed lost her interest in these things, so she sat there, watching a group of girls lively.

Concubine Rou had a drink, she seemed to be a little drunk, and raised her eyes to look at the queen and said: "Niang, you think it's almost time, why don't you let someone take the incense burner up and let everyone compare?"

When Li Rong heard this, she raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Roux. The others were also a little confused, but the queen seemed to have known it for a long time and nodded and said, "Then let someone present it."

After receiving this, Concubine Roux immediately greeted everyone back to their positions, and then said: "In the past, everyone had to have fun at the Tanabata banquet. Now it is a palace banquet. There are too many people. Usually those who beat drums and write poems are afraid of trouble. It doesn’t work, so today’s empress empress’s poem is changed to perfume. Today’s unmarried girls who are here today will mix the perfume together and send them to the main hall. His Royal Highness will select one, two or three. How about a reward? "

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they appeared to have different looks.

As long as you are not a fool, you can understand the meaning of Concubine Roux. The queen summoned all the unmarried family daughters into the palace, asked them to perfume, and let the prince choose the fragrance. Now the prince has not married a wife, and Li Rong has just married. What does it mean, couldn't be more obvious.

So some people were overjoyed, and some were at a loss.

And Shangguan Ya Su Rongwen, most of the high-ranking women have a flat expression, they should have known the news, or Qin Zhenzhen, as if they were completely outside the matter, and their faces were calm and calm with "this matter has nothing to do with me".

Li Rong looked at everyone's expressions, and laughed jokingly, and suddenly said: "Mother, I feel wrong."

As soon as she spoke, everyone looked over, and Li Rong smiled and said, "Everyone is here to participate in the banquet, so why do they mix perfumes to get rewards, but the children can't? The children will also join."

"Rong'er, what are you messing with?" The queen frowned and motioned to her not to mess around.

Seeing the queen's expression, Li Rong knew that this matter was decided by the queen and Concubine Roux.

Concubine Rou's purpose is very simple. If she wants to marry her niece, she needs a reason. Let Li Chuan choose her niece's fragrance, which is the best excuse.

And the queen would agree, naturally in the eyes of the queen, she can control the situation, let Li Chuan choose the fragrance of Guan Ya, and then the Shangguan family will simply count, and invite Shangguan Ya and the prince to marry.

They each made their own calculations, taking the position of the princess as a reward, and then made the same decision.

Li Rong doesn't know if Li Chuan knows, but what she is certain is that she is here today and she can choose anyone. She absolutely cannot Shangguanya, Roufei's niece, and Qin Zhenzhen.

So Li Rong didn't retreat, and looked at the queen with a smile: "I don't have much to add, mother queen, you promised me?"
