Chapter 98: Four taels make a huge difference (three)

What is the natural enemy of the old man? It is not poverty, illness, or death, but loneliness. Loneliness is the nostalgia for family affection after insight into the vicissitudes of the world. This is how Li Longji. Since Concubine Wu Hui died, he has been in loneliness for almost ten years. What he lacks the most is women, but what he lacks the most is women. He needs a woman who can understand him and know his heart. Yang Yuhuan is his daughter-in-law, but it is this woman who has allowed him to find his home in his late years. He ordered his son to give up on her, and he gave her to the Tao. Five years have passed, but even if there is a thousand years, it is not a "block" to the world.

Li Longji sat in front of the jade desk and brought up a red pen on the enactment of Concubine Shou. Mei criticized the word "Xu". He gently put the pen down, and his heart fell down, "From now on, Yuhuan and Maoer have no connection."

Today is the Lantern Festival, the day for the family to reunite. Yuhuan went to reunite with his family, but today is the day for the lover to meet. Li Longji has sent Gao Lishi to pick up Yang Yuhuan and her family. This is a win-win situation. He can't help but secretly be proud of his arrangements.

Before sitting back, he saw that there was an edict on his left head to be approved, which was to enthrone Li Jingyan as Princess Pingyang. Less than three hours before he nodded in agreement, the edict was ready to be sent. The efficiency of the Secretariat was unprecedented, and this was naturally the power of Li Linfu. Li Longji sneered slightly. He was thinking about the prince at that time, but he did not react. Now it seems that Li Linfu is so enthusiastic about Princess Pingyang, and he is also "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, aiming at Pei Gong". Li Longji had known about Li Lin's relationship with the prince for a long time, but he did not interfere. After all, Li Linfu was the prime minister alone and needed a restraint. Otherwise, all the civil and military officials in the court were all under the prime minister's family. Then what was Li Longji? Li Linfu was his dog, but this dog must be knocked appropriately. Even the owner would bite the crazy dog.

He meant to dig Liu Sheng's case, demote Han Chaozong, and it was his intention to teach Li Shizhi a lesson to knock on the prince. However, Li Linfu seemed to have already taken the devil's path and actually secretly reported that Wang Zhongsi wanted to support the prince. The people sent by Li Longji just returned the reward, but there was no such thing. It was not until the edict that took only three hours to be placed on Li Longji's case that he realized that Li Linfu had been a little crazy recently.

Li Longji remembered the daily records of the prince's inner palace. Li Linfu's clan brother Li Daofu actually protected the smuggling. If this matter spreads, Li Linfu's position will be difficult to protect, which is something he doesn't want to see, 'Forget it! Let's have a fight!' After Li Shizhi's appearance and Wang Zhongsi was released, Li Longji had decided to do it, so he picked up his pen, but the edict in front of him made him hesitate whether to criticize it?

At this time, a slight footsteps came from the door. It was Gao Lishi who was back and the jade ring was also here. Li Longji was so excited that he had no intention of caring about state affairs. He threw down his pen and smiled and said, "Get up and go back to the palace!"

"Sister Four, are you really living here?"

Yang Huahua exclaimed, and she looked around, and her eyes were already burning with a flaming heat. She saw the scenery by the Taiye Pool, with red walls and yellow tiles magnificent. A large group of guards called her to the side of the carriage, which made her feel illusion, as if she was driving a group of heroic men. These palace guards were all tall and handsome, many times stronger than her country children. Yang Huahua thought of her dilapidated courtyard and the wall that had been climbed down by others. She could no longer suppress her yearning for a better life, and she even had the idea of ​​living here forever.

Yang Yuhuan was always silent. She was used to being silent, but she thought of Li Qing's wish in her heart. Is the emperor really willing to change the plan for her marriage? She was really unsure. If the emperor did not agree, she would apologize for the benefactor. Yang Yuhuan thought of Li Jingyan again, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She had heard of the name of Princess Leng. It was said that she had countless suitors, but she was not rude to anyone. Even the new top scholar was crazy about her. She was so indifferent that there were still people to save her when she was in trouble. Yang Yuhuan thought of Li Qing again. Such a man is rare. Now his relationship with the emperor is known to the world. With such an opportunity, he did not ask for an official position for him. A small army member of the Jiannan Jiedu Mansion actually had this kind of arrogance. Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly. This was indeed a unique man.

She remembered the eyes she saw when the gauze curtain was lifted, and her eyes were filled with appreciation and admiration without any concealment, as if she was looking at a daughter next door, without the timidity and dodging of a lower-ranking person. Only Sanlang dared to look at herself like this. Somehow, she was not at all displeased with Li Qing.

Yang Huahua's amazement interrupted her thoughts. Yang Yuhuan looked at her sister who was intoxicated by wealth and frowned slightly. She pulled the curtain and smiled at her brother who didn't say a word: "Lao Wu, do you like this place?"

Yang Mo groaned, "I don't like it, I'm so frustrated. I'm a little worried about my mother's body. Fourth sister, I want to go back."

Yang Yuhuan nodded and turned to Yang Huahua and said, "Sister Three, you can go back after dinner!"

The carriage stopped in front of Lingqi Hall, and a large eunuch bowed his head and rushed over, "Your Highness, Princess, the emperor is here!"

Li Longji's dragon carriage had come from afar and stopped beside Yang Yuhuan's car. He seemed to be a thirty-year-old man. Without waiting for the eunuch's support, he jumped out of the car and laughed: "Seeing Yuhuan's figure, I seemed to be thirty years younger."

His young actions scared the eunuchs and guards to the ground, but everyone's heart seemed to be thirty years old.

Yang Yuhuan was weak and weak. With the support of his maid, Yingying gave a gift and shouted softly to Li Longji: "Yuhuan has seen Your Majesty."

Her knees were delicate and could not be rubbed against the oily skin, but the guards behind him had to kneel down even if their legs were broken. He had been kneeling a large area of ​​blackness. Li Longji was afraid that the beauty's legs would be sore, so he quickly supported Yuhuan. Yang Huahua next to him did not understand etiquette. Although he followed him to kneel down, his face was half raised. Two slutty eyes shot out indifferently, and he looked at the man who controlled the world delicately. His eyes were majestic, elegant and luxurious, and his whole body exuded irresistible power. Yang Huahua was confused and had an urge to fall into his arms.

Li Longji felt something, his eyes slightly slanted. He had seen Yang Huahua. Seeing her pretty face, two rows of small teeth like shells, she was born in her bright little mouth, with a pair of charming eyes staring at him unscrupulously, with a hint of wildness, and her eyes were so hot that it seemed to melt him. Li Longji saw all his life, either with his eyebrows down or sitting upright, or fearing the king like a tiger. This bold and provocative gaze was the first time he saw it, like a plate of wild vegetables, which made Li Longji, who was tired of eating the delicacies of mountains and seas, suddenly became a little interested. He smiled and helped Yang Huahua up, "Yuhuan, is this your third sister? Not bad! Not bad! It's as gorgeous as a mountain flower."

Yang Huahua was fascinated by Li Longji's imperial aura and let him lift himself up. Her slender fingers were placed on Li Longji's smooth wrist. Her romantic nature suddenly appeared uncontrollably and she secretly pinched Li Longji's arm. Li Longji was stunned. The feeling of having an affair in broad daylight flowed through his body like an electric current. His mind was stirring, and his hands trembled slightly.

In the evening, the sun sets, and there are several bright stars in the sky. A full moon has just risen. The blood-red afterwards of the setting sun shines on the towering Chang'an city walls, shining tiredly and sadly.

On the embroidery building in the backyard of the Sining Prince's Mansion, Li Jingyan, the heroine with three sides was leaning against the window, staring at the golden west sky with attachment. The silk curtains embroidered with flowers were like a gentle hand, fluttering in the wind, comforting the sad girl. The backyard was very quiet, and a few birds were combing their feathers on the tree, making cheerful chirping, and then flapping their wings, and flying away quickly.

Everyone is alive, but she is going to die, everyone has tomorrow, but there is a darkness in front of her, connecting all the darkness to the endless. Tomorrow, the birds will sing on the branches, and the sun shines the yellow treetops, and when countless pearls are spread on the water, she has closed her eyes and cannot see all this.

Death! She would rather die than marry that ugly man. The afterglow shone beside her face, reflecting a golden red brilliance. Her deep eyes showed a firmness that had never been seen in seventeen years, and shining with an inviolable cold light.

At this time, the sound of light footsteps came from the entrance of the stairs. This was her personal maid Qiu Xing coming upstairs, "Princess, the princess, let you go to the lobby for dinner."

After a while, Li Jingyan slowly said: "Go and tell your father that I don't want to eat, so I won't go."

Qiu Xing hesitated for a moment, "There are a few guests in the hall, which seems to be related to the princess. The prince can't keep them, so he asked the princess to go there quickly."

"A guest related to me?" Li Jingyan immediately understood that this must be the young official whom the father was rushing to marry him out. Now who dares to marry him? Those who know the news will not come. A few people came by chance. Now that they find that something is wrong, they naturally cannot keep them.

Li Jingyan sneered. There were so many suitors in the past, and they all swear to the sky with their hearts. Only now have they revealed their true colors. Even Cen Shen, who could barely take a fancy to him, dared not come.

"Tell my father, I won't go! Tell him again, and I will never let anyone be asked, and I, Li Jingyan, will never be wronged to marry someone!"

"Prince, today is the day of the Yuan Dynasty. I have something to do at home. I will come to my house to apologize again."

"I almost forgot that my family has a ancestral teaching that Yueman doesn't go out. Today, I'm fourteen, I'm going to go back quickly."

Several young men in freshly dressed were looking for all excuses to escape tonight's feast. The threshold of the royal palace, which they usually had unattainable, suddenly disappeared, and the glory that was within reach immediately depreciated. More than ten people came to the banquet by King Sining. The emperor intended to let Princess Pingyang and the Khitan. The news seemed to have grown wings and flew all over Chang'an City in one day. The few people who came to the banquet were born with immunity to the rumor, so they rushed over excitedly, but found that the atmosphere was strange and the immunity disappeared immediately. Therefore, escaping from the royal palace became the only priority.

"Father, let them go!"

Li Zhao persuaded his father who had almost lost his mind, and if this continues, he will become a laughing stock in Chang'an.

Li Lin sighed and gave up on blocking. The boys were free and sneaked away. The lobby was empty and the sumptuous banquet became a decoration.

Dozens of maids and servants looked at each other, and no one dared to speak. The air in the hall seemed to freeze, and it was extremely embarrassing.

"Prince! Another young man came outside, without an invitation, saying that the master asked him to come."

Li Lin was stunned and suddenly realized that it must be Li Qing coming. He repeatedly said, "Please hurry up! Please come in!"

While speaking, Li Qing was already smiling and walking in. He was holding a few unknown gifts in his hand. This was obtained from Yang's mansion at noon, just like a furious son-in-law who came to the door for the first time.

"I've let the prince wait for a long time. Li Qing doesn't know the way. It's too late, too late."

He glanced into the lobby and saw a sea of ​​meat, wine, vegetables, fruits and vegetables, and a look of emotion in his eyes, "How can I eat so much by myself? The prince is so polite! You're so polite!"

"Oh! I won't mention it." Li Lin smiled bitterly and shook her head, "The first time a nephew comes to the door, you must always be more generous."

He pulled his second son and introduced: "This is my second son Li Yan, nicknamed Tiger Gun, the Eastern Palace Guard."

Seeing that he was about the same age as him, he was born with a big waist and a round waist, a tiger's eyes and lion's nose, as if he was shaking the sky, he was judged by the gentle Li Zhaoru and the gentle Li Zhaoru, but he looked at him with awkward look, touching the back of his head and laughing. Li Qing quickly bowed his hand and felt that this person seemed familiar. "The Guard of the East Palace". He read it twice, and suddenly remembered that today, the one who searched him outside the prince's inner palace and touched his money away and refused to repay it, isn't this person!

He had no money on his body. He walked almost half of Chang'an before finding Li Lin's mansion. The soles of his feet were so painful. At this time, he saw that the culprit was here, so excited that he wanted to shout: "You, you." Li Qing originally wanted to grab his neck and yell, 'You're going to pay my money!' It was obvious that he begged all over his eyes, and the hand holding his fist had turned into a pair of palms. He bit the second sentence of the second sentence and laughed dryly: "I forgot some things in the East Palace. When will Brother Li be on duty? Can you get it for me?"

"Sure! Sure!" Li Yan agreed in a panic when he saw that he would not pursue the matter.

"What a good thing to do when standing in the yard, please come to the seat!"

Li Lin was worried and didn't let Li Qing go in first.

"I'm sorry brother." Li Yan looked at the left and right and patted Li Qing on the back and apologized in a low voice.

"You give me the money back." Li Qing said viciously in a low voice.

The silver was already divided by his brothers, so Li Yan took out a golden bead from his arms and stuffed it into his hands. Li Qing understood and took it. With this thing, the money he had to go back was solved.

After entering the lobby, it was very wide inside, which could accommodate six or seven hundred people to eat at the same time. Li Qing saw hundreds of tableware on a few long tables, and smiled and said, "Will the prince treat you today? If the time is not here, I will wait!"

"It's better not to mention this matter!" Li Lin sighed again, "I want to invite someone to dinner, but if they don't appreciate it, they won't come, so what can I do?"

There is no reason why I can't come. Li Qing couldn't help but want to ask again. Li Zhao next to me stepped forward and patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Li also saw what happened yesterday. Li Huaijie left Li Linfu's way. In the afternoon, the emperor agreed to send my sister to the Khitan marriage. So my father wanted to invite some Chang'an talents to make a lifelong order for my sister before the edict was issued. Perhaps the emperor could cancel the matter, but no one would come."

"Zhao'er, stop talking! Today is the day of Yuan Ye, don't ruin your nephew's mood."

Li Lin's voice trembled and her eyes couldn't help but turn red. His original wife was gone. Among the three children left behind, he liked Li Zhao the most, but he felt most sorry for his daughter Li Jingyan. Now his daughter is being used as a political tool to marry a Khitan villain. He has no way to appeal, and he feels so sad.

Li Qing shook his head, helped Li Lin to sit down first, and half-kneeled at the sad old man. He smiled and said, "Prince, please relax. At the latest tomorrow, there will be news in the palace. The princess doesn't have to go to the Khitan to marry him."

"What did you say!"

The three father and son of the Li family surrounded Li Qing at once, "How do you know?"

Li Qing smiled, "You can't tell this matter, you can wait for the good news."

He still has full confidence in Yang Yuhuan. Tonight, after Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji have a affection, he will blow the wind by his pillow. Where can I do anything in the world?”

The three father and son of the Li family were not willing to forgive him. They threatened and tempted him and forced him to tell the truth. They were in trouble. The housekeeper crawled in and reported: "Master, Eunuch Qin has sent someone!"
