Records of the King of Xin'an County

For His Highness Prince Pu, it was undoubtedly a day of satisfaction; for King Xin'an, it was indeed a "surprising" but boring day.Perhaps, the only thing that can be called fun is the innocent and childish Princess Yong'an.The little guy likes to imitate his elder sister no matter what he does, and he has always been close to his cousin, and many childish words are enough to make people laugh.

When the literary meeting was about to end, Li Hui finally persuaded Li Tai to leave from a group of scribes who praised him.Li Tailue leaned on Buyu in a fluttering manner, and was surprised when he caught a glimpse of the two young men from the Li family next to him.However, because Yan Zhan was also there, he didn't think too much about it, and just told him: "It's getting late, go home earlier. Can the people who escorted you here be outside? Yan Dalang, send them back."

"Yes, baby, I'll save it." Yan Zhan agreed with a full mouth, and his words were very respectful.When it comes to the details of receiving people and things, he has always been impeccable, and won the favor of His Royal Highness Pu Wang and Yue Wang.As for the sages, they always treated the juniors equally, but I can't see any emphasis on them.The only exception might be his two precious little ladies.

Because Li Tai couldn't help reminiscing about the literary meeting just now with Yan Zhan, Li Hui, who had no interest in it, walked slowly with Princess Changning and Princess Yong'an, and fell behind.He looked around and said in a low voice: "Yue Niang, since you don't like the Yang family so much, why did you bring Wan Niang here? Vulgar. Instead of wasting your rare time, you might as well go to the Qujiang Pool to enjoy it."

"Of course we didn't come here for the Wenhui of the Yang family, we just wanted to see what brother and Shifu look like in the Wenhui." Princess Changning pursed her lips and smiled, "Now that the doubts in my heart have been resolved, naturally I won't come again in the future. Speaking carefully, today can be regarded as an unexpected harvest, and the trip was not in vain."

Hearing this, Li Hui glanced at Yan Zhan: "For Yan Dalang, the revitalization of Cheng Guogong's mansion is a heavy responsibility that he must undertake. For this goal, he may be able to do anything at all. Right now, it's just a matter of coddling with Yang Qianqian, that's all. He probably didn't think it was important, so he didn't tell you. What's more, you are not married, and you are not considered a family, so naturally you don't need to tell every detail."

Princess Changning laughed softly: "He knew that I hated the Yang family and knew that this matter would definitely be unpleasant, so he deliberately concealed it from me. If I hadn't found out, maybe he would have done more things without telling me. Brother thinks, I Compared with Duke Cheng's, what is more important to him than what he wants to protect and acquire?"

"Yue Niang, although I agree with your thoughts, I have to remind you - being too suspicious is not a good thing."

"That's also because what he has done so far has not been able to make me completely let go of my guard. Brother, this is not my fault at all, you can't blame me."

Li Hui sighed helplessly: "However, I would rather you be more suspicious than trust others. You just need to remember that no matter what happens, you have someone you can rely on. Although... I am just I'm an idler, but I don't lack the courage and courage to stand up for my sister."

Princess Yong'an fluttered her big eyes, held her chubby face in her hands, and followed suit: "Courage and courage... nothing is missing..."

Princess Changning rubbed her little head, and couldn't help laughing: "Believe me, brother, you won't be like this forever. And, don't worry, I'm no longer a weak person. When brother is helpless I also have to remember that I have never lacked courage and courage. I have never forgotten what my grandmother and grandfather said, and I have thought it through long ago—only when I have both status and ability, can I You can 'do whatever you want without breaking the rules'."

After all, the two brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled, and Princess Yong'an held their hands with a smile.They didn't realize it, Yan Zhan turned his head and glanced suddenly, a gloomy glint flashed in his eyes.The next moment, he regained his gentle and elegant appearance, and calmly brought the three brothers and sisters who were lagging behind into their topic.

When they returned to Prince Pu's Mansion, night had already fallen.Li Xin stood by the side door with a smile on his face, and raised his eyebrows: "Grandpa, Sanlang, how is today's literary meeting? It should be very satisfactory? Otherwise, I wouldn't have come back so late. The evening meal has already been prepared, A Niang, You Niang and Shou Niang are all waiting in the inner hall."

These words sound quite meaningful, with a vague hint of disapproval.However, His Royal Highness Prince Pu, who was in a great mood, decided not to argue with him, leaned on Bu Yu, and said with great interest: "Sanlang, come here and sit with me!"

Li Hui doubted very much whether there was still a place for him to sit in Buyu.Of course, not having a position has never been a problem for His Highness Prince Pu.What's the point if the father and son get closer?Buyu can't sit down, so just squeeze and hug?It's not like they haven't sat together before.

Recalling the unbearable past, Li Hui made a decisive choice.If he is hugged into his grandpa's arms again under the eyes of everyone, the calm image he has painstakingly recreated in the past two years will disappear again, then when will he establish his prestige in the servant series—"Grandpa, Boy and brother can walk together."

"Tsk, Dalang, what do you think you have taught your younger brother to look like? Sigh, it's becoming more and more boring, and I don't like to be close to Yeye anymore." His Royal Highness King Pu once again regretted that the youngest son was "badly educated", and said sadly Glancing at the two sons, he decided to see nothing for nothing, "If I have a grandson in the future, I can't let you two raise it, I have to raise it myself!!"

The two brothers watched Buyu go away: "Brother, don't worry, Grandpa has always been impatient, and he will get bored after teaching for a few days. Moreover, even if he insists on educating his grandson, there is also Madam here. It will be crooked."

"First of all, he must have a grandson."

"My little nephew is definitely coming soon." Li Hui couldn't help but bend his lips slightly when he thought of his nephew Li Qiao from his previous life. "Brother and sister-in-law will definitely teach him very well." It will be born in one or two years, and there is already a pile of gifts in his treasury, just waiting for him.

Li Xin raised his eyebrows, always feeling that there was something in his words, as if he was inexplicably sure: "Leaving aside these things, what do you think of today's literary meeting? It's just flattery, and I can't say that it will gradually go further in the future. I don't want my grandpa to be instigated by them in the future, and think about compiling some books and leaving his name in history."

"Brother, it's true that the Yang family's conspiracy is true, and it's true that grandpa will gradually fall into it—but it's true that grandpa is at ease in the literary society, and it's true that he's living a happy life." Li Hui's eyes moved slightly, Replied solemnly, "Maybe it is because we have been trapping him with various excuses and names that he is more eager to 'name'. For Grandpa, it is impossible to seek power, and it is unnecessary to seek profit. All he has left is name-calling. This is his only desire, as his sons, can't we satisfy him even with such a desire?"

"If you don't have any desires, or if all your desires are not satisfied, then what's the point of living? Day after day, living like a walking corpse? Brother, we all want to protect Grandpa, but at the same time we don't want to let He’s not happy, isn’t he? If things go on like this, he’ll be trembling all day long, not only will he feel uncomfortable, but maybe even we ourselves will have to spend our lives in depression.”

"..." Li Xin was silent for a long time, "You're right, we shouldn't have lived like this." As descendants of dragons and phoenixes with precious blood, they actually lived worse than ordinary people.This identity brought them not only wealth and glory, but also fear and fear, the fear of knowing the fate of the day and night. "Even if grandpa once went the wrong way, it doesn't mean that our lineage must always pay the price for it."

"Brother, in your heart, have you ever envied cousin Jueqing? Have you ever envied that they can stay away from Chang'an and all the troubles? From then on, they can live in Jingzhou without worrying about the world? No matter what changes , have nothing to do with them? Up to now, we have never thought of chasing power and profit, but if it is just chasing names—where can’t we go after names? Even if we want to leave a name in history, there are many ways. What’s more , as long as you live comfortably, as long as you have someone to accompany you in reciting poems and composing poems, as long as someone keeps praising and appreciating, with Grandpa's temperament, will you remember anything else?"

"... Sanlang, we can't go back to Junzhou. Uncle won't let us go."

"Brother, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is so vast. Apart from Junzhou, I don't believe there is no shelter for our family." Li Hui looked at his elder brother who seemed a little old because of constant worry, with warmth in his eyes "Besides, grandfather's filial piety period has passed, and Princess Anxing's plot should soon begin. We must not stay in Chang'an, face endless frame-ups and tricks, and be trapped in this cage forever."

"Recently, my uncle intentionally asked me to transfer, and asked me if there is anything I would like to do." Li Xin said, "Perhaps, this is our only chance." After he kept his filial piety for one year, he became the magistrate of Wannian County again.Although it has only been more than a year so far, he has done a lot of practical things, and the evaluation he has received is naturally top-notch.

"This year is not the year for major exams, why did uncle want to transfer you?" Li Hui frowned, "Did he hint at anything?"

Li Xin replied: "It should be uncle who wants to be promoted. I hope that this person can pass the Wannian county magistrate as soon as possible. Next year's exam plan will naturally allow this person to gain more real power." Jing The county magistrate is already on the fifth rank, and if he rises further, he may be the governor of Zhongzhou or Xiazhou who ranks fourth rank.

"Brother, let's ask for a county magistrate in Luoyang, the eastern capital. Or Henan County, or Luoyang County. Of course, foreign officials are no better than Beijing officials. It is impossible for my uncle to be soft-hearted for a while, and I will let my brother serve as the governor of Shangzhou, or even the county magistrate. Inspector of Zhongzhou or Xiazhou." Li Hui said, "Brother then said that he had to be filial to grandpa and grandma, and wanted to serve them together. At the same time, please ask uncle to give some useful officials to help. No matter what uncle wants Put someone beside you, just say yes."

"Of course I know better than you how to say these things." Li Xin paused, "But—what about you?"

Hearing this, Li Hui's expression moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Me? I haven't been stubborn enough in Chang'an, so let's stay here." He is alone, so what's the point of being a hostage?Moreover, he is just a junior with nothing to do, of no value, Princess Anxing must not be interested in plotting against him.

Li Xin frowned, and was about to say something, but a group of people came in front of them holding lanterns.A small figure rushed over and hugged him tightly: "Grandpa and uncle are walking so slowly...I can't wait! Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"Shou Niang is hungry?" Li Hui stepped forward, pinched the little guy's chubby face, "I really shouldn't keep you waiting, brother, let's go quickly." The niece picked her up and told her that she met Princess Changning and Princess Yong'an today, while walking in the front with ease.

Li Xin looked at his back, the emotions in his chest were surging, and he never looked away for a long time.
