Records of the King of Xin'an County

The rockery group in the other palace garden imitates Zhongnan Mountain, which is very spectacular.If you look at it from a distance, among the mountains and mountains, there are strange rocks and pines, or there are waterfalls and streams, the scenery is indeed extremely beautiful.Not to mention that there is a clear lake next to it, with lotus leaf pavilions and white lotus, which has a kind of beauty of hardness and softness.

However, the king of Xin'an County standing in the rockery group did not have the slightest interest in admiring the beautiful scenery.The palace servants hurriedly led him to the place where Li Jing and Princess Yong'an disappeared.He looked around, then looked down at the footprints in the grass next to him. After walking a few steps, he came to a rather hidden cave.

"The slaves have also gone in to look for this cave, and almost lost their way inside." The palace man said, "The slaves have also called for a long time. If Tianshui County King and Princess Yong'an are inside, they will definitely answer." Tianshui County King Li Jing was not a child, so what they were worried about was naturally not him, but the safety of Princess Yong'an.If the little princess accidentally got separated and fell into the lake—the final outcome, they didn't even dare to think about it.

"..." Li Hui thought for a while, and ordered, "Don't panic, you go back and serve the princess. Wanniang has always been thin-skinned, and if she learns that her playfulness has disturbed the princess, she will definitely feel sorry." As for a certain cheek Its extremely thick people can be ignored for the time being.However, no matter how thick-skinned the King of Tianshui County is, he would never want to disturb everyone in the other palaces and turn over the entire garden in a mighty manner.

The palace people were stunned, still a little worried: "If the slaves just go back like this, how will they explain to Her Majesty the Concubine? How about, the slaves wait near the path outside the garden? If the king of the county has any orders, come and order the slaves." That's it." After saying that, they left the garden in silence.

After they had traveled far, Prince Xin'an looked at the narrow cave in front of him with a sullen face, and finally lowered his body and got in.Of course, he would not say clearly that there is another reason for sending these palace servants away, that is, he does not want them to see him drilling a cave—you know, in his past and present lives, he has not done this for decades It's childish! !

Since the palace people have come in and searched for it, but found nothing, it is obvious that Li Jing and Princess Yong'an did not go to those relatively spacious caves.Therefore, Li Hui picked up a more remote small cave and said as he walked, "Jing Xing, I never thought that when you still have such a childlike interest, you are even worse than a seven or eight-year-old child! You teach me for no reason! Concubine Wang is worried! If you don't come out quickly, I will definitely tell the public about this matter, so that the entire Chang'an City will spread your name as King of Tianshui County!!"

Such a blatant threat is enough to prove that the king of Xin'an does not like the "game" of "drilling a cave", which involves covering the whole body with layers of dust and moss.Of course, threats have always been very effective.Not long after, he heard a barely audible voice from the small cave next to him: "...Brother, please forgive me."

Li Hui took a closer look through the thin light from the cracks in the rockery, and saw that Li Jing was stuck in a low and narrow cave in an extremely embarrassed posture with his back and hips facing outwards and his head facing inwards.

It seemed that Prince Tianshui had tried his best to "pull" himself out, but Xu Shi exhausted all his strength for a while, and his shoulders and head were still firmly blocked by the entrance of the cave.The gourd-shaped cave entrance was not difficult to use, but perhaps because he was using too much force, the rockery was a little out of place, and his upper body was stuck even tighter.

"..." Li Hui was speechless for a while.If it was him, he would never want anyone to see this gesture.Therefore, just now, the people in the Cai Palace were looking everywhere, but this guy has been silent all the time, which is barely understandable.

"Brother, I just thought that such a huge rockery group was very interesting, and Wanniang would definitely like it, so I brought her in." Li Jing continued sullenly, "I didn't expect that I accidentally didn't hold Wanniang tight. She got into this small cave. I was chasing her, so... I thought I would be able to get through..." But he never thought that he was actually stuck here.This is simply the biggest humiliation in life!

"Did you bring the barrier knife?" Li Hui groped around his waist and found that there was nothing on the jade belt except the jade pendant.It seems that in order to pretend to be a good grandson, someone has also gone to great lengths.However, this incident alone was enough to completely remove all his previous disguises.

"There is a short dagger in the boot." Li Jing replied.With his current posture, he couldn't get the short dagger in his boots, so naturally he could only use brute force. "Brother, let's go to Wanniang first. I don't know where she has gone, whether there is any danger. If something happens to her... I will be ashamed to see my uncle, aunt and Yueniang."

Li Hui frowned, took out a short dagger from his boot, and listened carefully for a while.Not long after, there was a sound of light footsteps coming from the small cave where Li Jing was stuck, and a round, fat little shadow appeared indistinctly inside.He smiled slightly, and was about to call out to the little guy, when suddenly his expression froze again.

Princess Yong'an poked her head out and smiled at the two cousins.Li Jing was about to call out her name when Li Hui kicked her unexpectedly.Then, the King of Xin'an was quick to wit, and made a gesture of covering his mouth with both hands, and winked at Princess Yong'an.Princess Yong'an, who always liked to imitate, opened her big eyes, and almost immediately covered her tender mouth with her chubby hands.

The cave fell silent immediately, and then the three cousins ​​heard whispers coming from outside.The breeze sent bursts of fragrance, which is the smell of clothes that have been scented by incense cages. There are not only Buddhist incense burned by sandalwood, but also thick and changeable combination incense, and light and floating single incense. Different women are passing through the rockery.

"Xiniang, what are your plans? After recommending your cousin to the palace, why did you ask your cousin to recommend Cousin Pei to the palace? I don't know what your first aunt and second uncle are thinking. Your eldest uncle is against you. This time, he was so angry that he almost broke his body." A gentle female voice rang out, with the meaning of questioning and complaining, and it was also very gentle, making it difficult to feel any bad feelings .

"Oh, isn't the first uncle planning to let his cousin into the palace, isn't he tearing up his face with the second uncle and the cousin? As a niece, I helped the first uncle once, so naturally I should help the second uncle, otherwise wouldn't it be Unfilial? Besides, the husband-in-law chosen by my uncle for Cousin Pei is nothing more than an inconspicuous young man. So what about the first-class young man? How can it compare to the glory and wealth of entering the palace? What is the aunt's desire all these years? ——Mother, is it possible that you don't know?" The voice of the response was a little careless, and the words were full of sarcasm.

"I'm not partial to helping your uncle. It's just that he is the patriarch of the Yang family. Everyone in the clan should listen to him and act according to his rules. Otherwise, if everyone is like your second uncle and cousin The Yang family will be torn apart sooner or later, and the glory will be hard to continue. They only care about their own profits, and they don't think about the whole family..."

The gentle voice was still waiting to be said, but was suddenly interrupted: "Mother, you only have the Yang family in your heart, don't you?"

The gentle voice was silent for a moment before replying: "...The Yang family is my natal family and your mother's family. I was born with the surname Yang, my parents raised me, my brothers and sisters cared for me, so what? Is it possible to easily forget these blood and family bonds? Besides, if the Yang family is not so powerful, I would not be able to enter the palace as a concubine, and it is even more impossible for me to survive these years of turmoil with you in peace."

"Mother, you are wrong. We have never lived in peace. Besides, you are already a wife of the Li family, not a daughter of the Yang family. Even if you die, it is me and brother, not your nephew, who will sacrifice to you." Son and niece. Oh, yes, I forgot, brother has passed away for many years. Mother, I will be the only one who will sacrifice to you in the future."

"...Xiniang...you..." At this moment, the gentle voice seemed to become extremely difficult, "Over the years, you have changed a lot...Why? Is it because Shiro died of illness? So you always hate me? Have you always...had you always hated the Yang family?"

"Why does mother think so? I have never changed, only you have changed. No, no, maybe, you have never changed either. As for hate, I..." The rest of the words seemed to be extremely low , as if talking to himself, drifting away with the wind.Except for this person himself, no one has heard clearly.However, no one asked whether they heard it or not.

After a while, more than a dozen palace ladies and maids walked through the rockery, searched for a while, and left.Fortunately, the small cave where the three cousins ​​lived was really cramped and the entrance was dark, so no one found it.

It wasn't until the surroundings became silent that Li Hui called out in a low voice, "Wanniang, come here."

Xu Shi covered his mouth for a long time, the little guy's whole face was flushed red.She moved her numb little body, obediently ran into her cousin's arms, and said softly, "Brother, are you a bad person?" She vaguely remembered that her elder sister mentioned that there was a very, very bad person , After seeing her, you must stay far away.Therefore, she specially remembered the voice of this villain, which sounded very similar to the voice just now.

"Yes." Li Hui said, rubbing her fat arms and legs.Because of his martial arts practice, he has keen ears, so he heard the voices of Princess Anxing and Concubine Yang talking first.If it was someone else, they naturally wouldn't have to dodge like this, but Princess Anxing was an exception.Who knows what she will suspect?What are you doing?Therefore, he instinctively kept Li Jing and Princess Yong'an quiet.

"Promise brother, if you remember what they said, you can only tell my mother and sister quietly." Of course, he didn't think that a three-year-old boy could remember all the words just now clearly.Even if she learned how to speak from them, she probably could only say some impressive words.But even so, Empress Du and Princess Changning can guess a lot.

Then, Li Hui pried off the stone with a dagger, widened the entrance of the cave, and finally rescued Li Jing.

The king of Tianshui County immediately promised to make a lot of money, luring his cousin to never tell anyone about this matter—if the matter was really spread, he would not be able to hold his head up in front of anyone——the dignified county king was actually stuck in the In the fake cave, after the word got out, could he still meet people?Even if he wanted to see him, his grandfather would never let him see him! !

"Gifts?" Prince Xin'an sneered, "What's left in those empty warehouses of yours? Is there anything I'd like to see?"

The king of Tianshui County froze, and after a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted his chest: "Du Shishilang gave me several calligraphy and paintings, all of which are for you!!" It is difficult to learn to appreciate.Moreover, Du Chongfeng will always give it to him again in the future.

"..." Prince Xin'an ruthlessly rejected him.
