Records of the King of Xin'an County

Ten days later, Princess Su of Chu, Princess of Chu Chu Li Jue, and Princess An of Chu visited the prince's residence in Beijing one by one, and went to the palace to bid farewell to the saint and the prince and his wife of the East Palace. Leaving Beijing and returning to the feudal Jingzhou.As for Li Song, he has already become a monk and practiced under the auspices of the eminent monks of Daxingshan Temple.Because of his special status, it is inconvenient for him to stay in Chang'an, so under the protection of several monks, he will go to Jingzhou to build a temple and live there.

On the day the King of Chu left the capital, almost all the princes' residences came to see them off.Outside the long pavilion on the Baqiao, there are all parked horses and precious carriages.In the temporary barrier, the Su family talked softly with the Yan family, the Wang family, and the noble ladies of the clan, and sometimes they looked back and chatted warmly with their natal family, vaguely regaining some of the demeanor of the princess of the past.However, Mrs. Du was unable to leave the palace because she was still taking care of her health, so she sent Princess Changning to see her off.

Although she is still young, after going through all kinds of things, Princess Changning's demeanor has gradually become a bit more dignified.Compared with her a few months ago, she has grown calmly and matured a lot when she saw her, and occasionally she has a naive and innocent attitude, which makes people love her more.Not only did she bring gifts and words from Mrs. Du, she also took An's arm, called her "Sister-in-law" affectionately, and gave her some small gifts.Seeing a young lady of similar age standing beside An's, she smiled slightly to express her kindness, and the other party was not as moved as an ordinary young lady, and just saluted with a smile.

Not long after, a servant girl entered the barrier to report: "Your Highness, the Lord of Yichuan County please see me."

Su Shi said indifferently: "The kinship is over, so let's not see each other." She actually didn't want to see Li Qianniang, a concubine, again.Except for Yan Shi and Wang Shi, all the noble ladies present did not know what happened, and each had their own guesses.In the past, the Su family was quite dedicated in seeking marriage for the concubine daughter, but after getting married, she became completely indifferent, there must be some serious reason for it.

However, since he came to bid farewell to Mrs. Su, naturally no one would mention this, so as not to make her feel unhappy for no reason.As a result, all the ladies ignored the matter and continued talking and laughing.On the contrary, Princess An's and Princess Changning frowned slightly, and even felt quite displeased when they heard Li Qianniang's title.

An's naturally felt disdainful because of Li Qianniang's betrayal of her family, and felt sorry for Li Jue being deceived by this concubine's younger sister, and Su's family wasted more than ten years of hard work and friendship in vain.Princess Changning simply hated Li Qianniang, felt that she was extremely dirty from the inside out, and was ashamed to have any blood relationship with her.Fortunately, they are no longer cousins ​​in terms of patriarchal clan, otherwise she would only feel more uncomfortable in her heart.

They didn't know that Li Qianniang, who was standing outside the barrier and waited bitterly, almost vomited blood after hearing what the servants reported back to Su Shi.She lowered her eyes, but her voice was still coquettish and timid: "Auntie has raised the child for more than ten years. How can the relationship be broken? We will be separated by thousands of miles in the future, and I am afraid that we will never be able to see each other again for the rest of our lives." When we meet, let your son come in and thank Auntie for her kindness in nurturing her!"

The maidservant was originally from the other courtyard, and was given to the Su family by the Du family because of her proper service, and has since become the confidant lady in charge of the Chu Palace.Of course, she also knew everything that happened in the other courtyard, and she only had contempt for the Yichuan county lord in front of her, so she insisted not to spread the word inside.

Li Qianniang was weeping, looking back with tears in her eyes, trying to follow the farewell guest into the barrier, but she never found a suitable candidate.At this moment, she saw Li Xin and Li Hui brothers.After Li Xin glanced at her coldly, he went to bid farewell to Li Jue in the long pavilion.Li Hui completely ignored her, walked to the side of the willow tree, and folded the willow branches on his own. It is a tradition to give willows to each other. He actually selected several branches carefully and planned to give them to Li Hui. Jue say goodbye.

"Cousin..." Li Qianniang gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, but she couldn't help crying, she walked to him and begged, "I was wrong before, and I was blinded by my obsession. Please, cousin There are a lot of things, so don’t worry about this little girl like me. I swear, I will never make any random thoughts in the future, so my cousin will forgive me!”

Li Hui broke off the willow branch and looked at her with a half-smile: "I have always thought that I am quite tolerant, but I can't bear the behavior of a sinister villain like you. You are not a simple obsessive person." Nian, not only plotting against me again and again, but also trying to put me to death. I am neither a Buddha nor a Taoist ancestor, so why should I forgive you?" He kept calling his cousin, but his eyes could not hide the hatred , I don't know what vicious thoughts are turning in his heart, he can never believe that this woman can suddenly realize and repent.

"Cousin, I have really reformed myself... These days, my heart is really suffering. If my cousin doesn't believe me, I am willing to kneel down to plead guilty. How long does my cousin want me to kneel? Kneel for as long as you can until my cousin calms down, how about it?" Seeing that he was still willing to talk, Li Qianniang naturally refused to let go of the opportunity, so she went all out regardless.

Li Hui said: "If you really want to apologize, you don't have to wait until today, or in front of the public. Moreover, the one you are most sorry for is not me, not Changning, but Da Shimu and Cousin Jue." Of course he knew Li Qianniang just wanted to force him under the watchful eyes of everyone.If she cried and knelt down, he would still say nothing, and in the eyes of many people who didn't know the truth, they would think he was bullying a weak woman.

Therefore, without waiting for Li Qianniang to kneel down, he turned around and went into the pavilion.In the long pavilion, someone already frowned and showed displeasure, but it was Li Ge, the youngest son of his uncle, King Jing, who was only one or two years older than him, so he should call him uncle.Perhaps because of his straightforward temperament, Li Ge said bluntly: "Why do you treat your cousin so indifferently? Isn't that Jueqing's younger sister?"

Li Hui didn't want to go into details, so he just said: "Uncle doesn't know something, but because the eldest mother didn't want to see her, she begged me in every possible way to say something nice for her. But the elder's thoughts are not ours. Can the younger generation talk about it? I have no choice but to refuse her." It is not a good thing for the descendants of a saint to kill each other, let alone spread it to everyone, so as not to hurt the heart of the saint.Although King Jing is Zong Zhengqing, as the patriarch of the clan, he has the power to judge the clan's crimes, but it is inconvenient to elaborate on Li Qianniang's matter.

Li Ge was doubtful, but Li Jue answered calmly: "Aniang must have a reason for her actions. Since you don't want to see her, you don't have to."

Therefore, the brothers and uncles and nephews of the various clans stopped mentioning this matter.But Li Qianniang saw that everyone ignored her from a distance, and she felt secretly resentful, impatient, and faintly hopeless.She has offended all her uncles now, and Princess Anxing, who had given her countless promises, also avoided seeing her. How can she deal with herself in Chang'an City in the future?If there is no one behind her who is willing to support her, and the Chu Palace is far away in Jingzhou, there is nowhere to take advantage of, she is not as good as the daughter of a small family or even a small official as the county lord! !

Until now, she vaguely understood what it meant to lose the support of the clan.For the children of the aristocratic family, only by relying on the power of the clan can they get a place to stay, get married, get respect, and even get shelter in case of danger.And if you lose the power of your clan, you will be like duckweed, lonely and helpless.

Of course, the royal family is no exception, the power of the clan is far beyond the comparison of ordinary families.All promises and benefits are empty until they are obtained.Even if she got it, she would not be able to enjoy it unless the current clan was overthrown!However, after overthrowing the clan, what can she have left? !After all, she is the daughter of the clan!

The more she thought about it, the more resentment she felt in her heart—hate the Su family and Li Jue for turning their faces ruthlessly, hating Li Hui for obstructing several times, hating the prince for being ruthless, hating the Princess Changning for taking love, hating Li Song for being incompetent, and even more hating Princess Anxing At the banquet, she uttered words to seduce, but now she is lying to her falsely! !Hatred almost occupied all her thoughts, and the resentment in her eyes was so thick that it could drip poisonous juice! !

However, no matter how resentful she was in her heart and how miserable she looked on her face, no one paid any attention to her.There are those who are thoughtful and intelligent, who perceive the difference, and act as if they have never seen anything; there are also those who are sympathetic, feel pitiful to look at her, but they are married women, and dare not openly comfort her.

So, until Su's boarded the car, she still failed to find the opportunity to act out the love between mother and daughter.Li Jue and An's also ignored her, and the brother-sister relationship was unbelievable.As for the deep affection between father and daughter, with Li Song's temper, how dare she approach her?Until the convoy from Prince Chu's mansion slowly left, she didn't even get a chance to get close, so she went home with tears on her face and resentment in her heart.

Princess Changning saw her embarrassment and felt extremely happy, so she simply changed into a Hu suit and invited Li Hui to ride along with her.The little guy combed the hair style of Xiao Langjun, and the slow-moving horse is also very similar. He should have been practicing for a long time: "Brother, Madam asked me to thank you. You sent me two days ago Medicinal materials are extremely rare. Although the imperial medical office also has them, my mother said that your thoughts are rare, and she will use them in the future. I should also thank you well. What do you want? As long as I have it, I will take it Come with you!"

Seeing her so forthright, Li Hui couldn't help laughing, and joked: "What can you give me? Clothes and jewelry? Gems and pearls?" He is the elder brother, so how could he accept a gift from his younger sister casually.

Hearing this, Princess Changning pouted: "Brother, don't think that what I said was a naughty joke. The Four Treasures of the Study are also made, as are rare books and paintings. If you want anything, I will ask Grandpa for it, and he will definitely give it to me. Let's Between the two of you, what else do you need to be polite?"

Li Hui didn't dare to use her name to "search" the crown prince's uncle's treasures, so he said, "Let me think about it first. How about I talk to you when I think about it? And, I can remind you, No matter how much your uncle loves you, you can’t ask for his favorite things—this is filial piety. On the contrary, you should often collect some things he likes and give them to him with filial piety. The same is true for aunts. With your filial piety, they will definitely Only happier."

Princess Changning was stunned, nodded and said, "What Brother said makes sense, I will just listen to Brother from now on!"

Having gained her wholehearted trust, Li Hui was also quite moved in his heart, and naturally treated her closer.The two brothers and sisters are more and more like compatriots who are direct relatives, one loves and the other admires them, and they are happy.

After sending Princess Changning back to the East Palace and paying a visit to Du Shi, Li Hui thought for a while and went to Taiji Palace to visit his grandfather.

These days, the saint's illness has gradually improved, and he seems to have finally come out of the pain of losing Queen Qin.However, when Li Hui saw him standing in front of the Lizheng Hall from afar, he felt that he was much older.Not only did all his hair turn into silver white, his tall body also became bent, and he was no longer as energetic as before.Recalling the first time we met, he cried and laughed, no matter how volatile his emotions were, he was still full of spirit.But now, it seems that he can no longer do so.

A generation of emperors has finally come to its twilight.It's heartbreaking, and even more heartbreaking.

When the saint looked back, the wrinkles and gullies on his face seemed to have become more profound, and he was enveloped in a heavy twilight atmosphere.Despite this, he is still very kind, with a strong sense of warmth in the corners of his eyes and brows: "A Hui is here...are they...all gone?" The person who asked was the lineage of King Chu who had left Chang'an up.

"Already set off to leave Beijing." Li Hui replied, "The brothers have all gone to see each other off, and many uncles and brothers in the clan have also gone."

The saint was silent for a long time, then Fang said: "Okay."

Li Hui said again: "The eldest mother said that every year and festivals, I will give my grandfather special gifts from Jingzhou. I hope my grandfather will not dislike simplicity. Cousin Jue also said that he would write to his grandfather every month. If you don’t have time to reply, let us write, and my grandfather dictates it. Among the brothers, my handwriting is the best, and from now on, grandfather can just leave this matter to me.” As he said, he deliberately stood up He straightened his chest, as if he was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, innocent and carefree with a competitive heart.

The saint looked at him, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth: "Okay, I will leave this matter to you."

"Then grandfather must give me some rewards, so my hard work is not in vain." Li Hui approached him and said with a smile.

"What reward do you want? I'll give it all!" As a grandfather who loves his grandson, he is extraordinarily generous.

Caiyi Yuqin's grandson also did not hesitate: "Grandfather said earlier that he would teach me to practice martial arts, maybe it counts?"

"Of course it counts. Come, come, let me show you what archery is. Qianniuwei, bring your bows and arrows and set up the shooting range."

The grandparents and grandchildren went one in front and one in the back, persistently marching into the shooting range hastily set up by the Qianniu Guards.Seen from afar, one is tall and one is short, one is old and the other is young, the mountains are getting thinner and the mountains are rising to the east, they are incomparably harmonious.

The author has something to say: Prince Xiaojun: Caiyi’s skills in entertaining relatives, I have practiced to the fullest, and I always feel a little proud

Saint: o(^▽^)o, as expected of my grandson

His Royal Highness King Pu: o(^▽^)o, as expected of my son

His Royal Highness: →→, tsk tsk, this should be hereditary, right?

His Royal Highness Yue Wang: →→, yes, not everyone can practice to his level

King Sipu: Why do I feel a little helpless... ╮(╯-╰)╭, obviously this is filial piety

Xiaojun Wang: Brother, let’s take a closer look. If you want to learn, I will teach you.

King Sipu: →→, forget it... I don’t want to learn at all

Xiaojun Wang: Duplicity, what you are talking about is you
