Daily life of captives

The author has something to say: I am finally here, today is another wet cloudy day, I feel really uncomfortable_(:з」∠)_

Liu Ce's enthronement ceremony was scheduled for the beginning of March, so at the end of February, the missions from various countries who were invited to attend the ceremony arrived in Chang'an one after another, and Chang'an, which had many foreigners, suddenly became lively.

Wu Ninghe had already calculated the time. The day when Ding Lingguo's mission arrived happened to be the day to give Li Shao a medicinal bath for the last time. During this process, Lu Qiumao, who was not allowed to feel Li Shao's pulse, was finally able to When he touched Li Shao's hand, Lu Qiumao made a fuss and screamed. When he looked at Wu Ninghe again, his eyes were wild, and he kept pestering Wu Ninghe to ask for a teacher, so Wu Ninghe had to take him with him immediately. Liu Zi lived in the official post and joined Ding Lingguo's mission.

Li Shao's body recovered from inside to outside, and Changsun Boyi also fulfilled his promise to Wu Ninghe, persuading Li's courtiers to sign a 50-year alliance agreement with Ding Lingguo. He got busy when he arrived in Chang'an, he had to go to the palace almost every day to discuss the terms of the alliance agreement with the officials of Li Guo, and after returning to the official post, he had to gather together to discuss carefully, his mind was full of various terms, Everyone was bewildered.

But when the representatives and officials of both sides were racking their brains every day to think about how to get the most benefits from each other, their superiors went to Chang'an with them very friendly.

"Shao, come here!" Liu Zi somehow got a pink dress, which is very conspicuous even in the scene of colorful flowers and willows by the Qujiang River.

"Okay, here we come." Responding, Li Shao still walked beside Changsun Boyi unhurriedly, only looking at Liu Zipink's figure and Wu Ning and Qian who were always by his side. laugh.

Excited, Liu Zi ran another way, but when he turned around, he didn't see Li Shao, Liu Zi was dissatisfied, and immediately rushed back to Li Shao.

"Are you an old man? Why are you wandering here? Come quickly, the flowers over there are so beautiful!"

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Zi had already grabbed Li Shao's hand and led him to run towards the place he found yesterday.

"Slow down!" Changsun Boyi frowned, and quickly chased after him.

Liu Zi pulled Li Shao into a peach grove, and then said to Li Shao like offering a treasure: "Shao, look! I found this yesterday evening, I wanted to bring you here immediately, but it was dark at that time How is it? Does it look good?"

"It's pretty." Li Shao smiled.

Seeing that Liu Zi finally arrived at the place he wanted to come to, Wu Ninghe leaned against a tree beside him, watching Liu Zi quietly.

In Ding Ling Kingdom, winter is long, summer is short, and spring and autumn are so short that people can hardly notice it. In addition, the land is barren, so there are not so many flowers and plants to see in Ding Ling Country. For a native of Ding Ling Kingdom like him, these are not counted What, but to Liu Zi, that place is really boring.

He knew in his heart that Liuzi didn't like Ding Lingguo. Liuzi didn't like the bitter cold of Dinglingguo in winter, nor did he like Dinglingguo's land without flowers, but for him, Liuzi endured year after year.He knew everything, but he could only pretend not to know, because he didn't know what to do, and this was something he couldn't solve even if he tried his best.

Seeing Liuzi dragging Li Shao to run around in the peach forest, Changsun Boyi walked to Wu Ninghe with a dark face: "You can't take care of your husband?"

Wu Ninghe glanced at Zhangsun Boyi: "Why?"

Changsun Boyi dissatisfied: "Li Shao's body has recovered, but it doesn't mean that his physical strength has also recovered to the same level as before."

"Then go and tell Li Shao." Wu Ninghe said indifferently.

The eldest grandson Boyi immediately looked frustrated: "If it is useful to tell Li Shao, why am I still standing here talking to you?"

Li Shao's tolerance and connivance towards Liu Zi has reached the point of outrage, even what he said is useless, even if they are friends, this is too much, right?Li Shao didn't treat Yongning to this extent!

Wu Ninghe said nonchalantly: "My husband is happy, why should I care?"

Changsun Boyi was so angry that he could only stare blankly: "What's there to see in this broken peach blossom?"

This peach blossom blooms every year, every year like this, is it worth Liuzi's joy?

Wu Ninghe's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "There are none in Ding Lingguo."

"Then give you some." Changsun Boyi said without thinking.

Wu Ning looked at Zhangsun Boyi like a fool: "If I can support him, am I still waiting for you to send him?"

He secretly tried many times behind Liu Zi's back, but he didn't succeed once.

Changsun Boyi was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered that a place like Ding Linguo was really not suitable.

After thinking for a while, Changsun Boyi said again: "Send you some gardeners from the palace."

Wu Ninghe said coldly: "Ding Lingguo has no shortage of gardeners."

Grandson Boyi snorted coldly: "The gardeners in Ding Lingguo grow flowers from Ding Lingguo, and the gardeners here grow flowers from here. Can it be the same?"

Moreover, the gardeners in the palace are used to listening to the many unreasonable demands of members of the royal family, and their flower-growing skills are beyond the reach of ordinary gardeners.

After hearing this, Wu Ninghe felt that there was some truth to it, turned his head to look at Sun Boyi, and asked again: "Is this one of the alliance agreements?"

Changsun Boyi gave Wu Ninghe a sideways look: "I'm not that stingy, it's just for you."

If Liu Zi likes something, quickly raise it in their Ding Lingguo, don't let Liu Zi come again!

"Thank you," Wu Ninghe flicked the petals on his body, "I'll take care of him."

"Liuzi." Walking in front of Liuzi with big strides, Wu Ninghe raised his hand and gently brushed off the petals that fell on Liuzi's head.

Liu Zi, who was still alive and kicking just now, calmed down in an instant, and stood obediently, letting Wu Ning and fiddle with him: "Is this flower pretty?"

"Well, it looks good." Wu Ninghe took Liu Zi's hand along the way, and then said to Li Shao, "General Changsun is waiting for you under the tree over there."

Splitting up the action here is not bad either.

Li Shao glanced at the "over there" that Wu Ninghe said, and suddenly his face changed slightly, it was rare that he looked a little apprehensive.

"Liuzi, is there any place you want to go? Let's go somewhere else?"

Hearing this, Wu Ninghe felt surprised, and turned his head to look at Changsun Boyi, and his face changed, and he was also quite afraid: "Why hasn't she married yet?"

Hearing this, Li Shao raised his eyebrows slightly, vaguely feeling that he and Wu Ninghe seemed to have experienced the same thing: "Could it be that the Seventh Prince was also asked to marry him?"

Wu Ninghe looked at Li Shao: "You too?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly both looked at Changsun Boyi again.

"Her target this time...is Bo Yi?" Li Shao faintly felt a little headache.

Wu Ninghe nodded: "It looks like it is."

After weighing it very carefully, Li Shao still said: "Let's go to another place before we are discovered."

Wu Ninghe raised his eyebrows: "You just leave General Changsun alone?"

"He will handle it himself." After speaking, Li Shao turned around and walked in another direction.

Li Shao turned around in time, but Wu Ninghe, who was still expressing his sympathy for Changsun Boyi with his eyes, was unfortunately spotted.

"Wu Ninghe! Is that Li Shao next to him? Li Shao, you dare to run!"

Li Shao stopped suddenly, and raised his forehead: "How did she recognize it just by looking at her back?"

Before Li Shao finished his complaint, Shangguanying, the princess of Xizhi Kingdom, walked over in a hurry.

"Why are you two hiding? Don't you say hello when you see this princess?" Shangguan Ying looked at Wu Ning and Li Shao sharply, "Li Shao, turn around for this princess!"

Li Shao had no choice but to turn around and look at Shangguan Ying, smiled gently, and politely bowed to Shangguan Ying: "Princess Shangguan."

Wu Ninghe could only bow to Shangguanying.

"Hmph! This is more or less the same." Shangguan Ying was satisfied, "What are you two doing here?"

Li Shao smiled lightly: "The weather is fine today, let's go for a walk. Where's the princess?"

Shangguan Ying curled her lips and said: "It's too boring in the official post, and this princess also comes out for a walk. Speaking of which, why are you still alive, Li Shao?"

"Uh..." Li Shao choked, "Thank you princess for your concern, I'm still alive, and probably for a long time."

Shangguan Ying suddenly smiled and said, "Hey, let me just say, you are so smart, how could you die?"

Li Shao smiled and said nothing, because he really didn't know what to say.

He and this outspoken princess have never been able to chat together. They clearly talked about the same topic, but he always didn't know how to answer the conversation.

Suddenly noticing Liu Zi who was hidden behind Wu Ninghe, Shangguan Ying sized Liu Zi up and asked Wu Ninghe, "Wu Ninghe, is this the husband you married?"

"Exactly."

"Tsk! Not too bad," Shangguan Ying pouted, "Which country is he the prince of?"

Wu Ninghe said calmly: "It's not a prince, the husband is just an ordinary person."

"Ordinary people?" Shangguan Ying's voice sharply sharpened, "You just rejected my marriage proposal for an ordinary person? You!"

Shangguan was so angry that he immediately took off the leather whip from his waist, but he raised his hand to measure it twice, but he could only put it down resentfully.

Standing in front of her were two men, these two men were Wu Ning and Li Shao, she couldn't beat any of them!

"What about you, Li Shao? Where's your man?" An angry Shangguan Ying shifted his gaze to Li Shao again, "Don't say you haven't married yet!"

As the first princess of the Xizhi Kingdom, it is her destiny to marry another royal family, but why is she so unlucky?It was the first time that the father wanted to make peace with the Li country in order to seek friendship between the two countries. The person chosen by the father was a good person, the third prince of the Li country, gentle and elegant, both civil and military. She went with the mission, but the other party thought that he liked men Yu rejected her.

At the beginning, of course she was so angry that she insisted on getting married, but at that time Li Shao came to talk to her every day, talking about the man he loved so much, every detail of how they used to be together, After they were forced to separate, she could hear the deep feeling and was moved by the deep feeling, so she gave up.She is not afraid of being gossiped, but she can't break up a lover, and she can't make the rest of her life as unfortunate as her mother and concubine.

But Li Shao is destined to be the source of her misfortune!After that, she went to Ding Lingguo to ask for marriage, but was also rejected by Wu Ninghe, the seventh prince of Ding Lingguo, with the same reason. Even the routine of heart-to-heart talk was the same, and she was moved again!

This is the third time, and she met Li Shao here again, she always felt that nothing good would happen this time.

Do all good men in the world like men? !It's really maddening!

Li Shao smiled and pointed to the eldest Sun Boyi who was already a little dumbfounded standing behind Shangguan Ying: "It's over there."

Shangguan Ying turned around, but only saw the elder Sun Boyi behind her, the object of her marriage proposal this time.

The elder Sun Boyi hadn't figured out the situation yet, but at this moment he took a step forward and stood beside Li Shao.

Shangguanying's gaze has been chasing Changsun Boyi. After seeing Changsun Boyi standing beside Li Shao, Shangguanying blinked, and suddenly screamed hysterically. In the end, she threw off the whip and was caught by Xi Zhiguo. On the body of the official: "Do you guys know how to choose someone? Before you ask me to propose marriage, can you find out whether the other party likes a man or a woman? Call me...you call me...go call me Wang Brother come!"

The accompanying officials of Xizhi Kingdom also complained in their hearts.

If they want to find someone to marry, they are naturally looking for someone who has real power and is good enough, but who knows why their princess's luck as a man is so bad?When they were selecting candidates, these men were all unmarried, and they were all clean and clean. Where would they find out whether they liked men or women?

After losing her temper, Shangguan Ying looked at the four men in pairs in front of her again. Although the more she looked, the more angry she became, but since she met Li Shao and Wu Ninghe, she had something to ask.

"I said, what are you two plotting?"

Upon hearing this, both Li Shao and Wu Ninghe raised their vigilance.

Shangguan Ying is outspoken, but also very intelligent.

"What? Why can't I understand what the princess is saying?" Li Shao looked at Shangguan Ying and smiled.

Shangguan Ying snorted coldly, and said: "Don't be stupid with this princess, since the mission of Ding Lingguo has been in the official post, he has been missing all day long, and every day when he returns to the official post, he also gathers in the same room mysteriously. What are you doing, this must be some bad idea."

"Oh?" Li Shao glanced at Wu Ninghe with a smile, "It's really strange to hear what the princess said. Seventh prince, what bad idea is your country's mission trying?"

"I don't know," Wu Ninghe glanced at Changsun Boyi, and said, "This prince has been staying at General Changsun's mansion for a while, so I don't know what happened in the official post. But what you two said , It’s indeed a bit strange, this prince will ask.”

"Borrowing at General Changsun's mansion?" Shangguanying looked back and forth between Li Shao, Wu Ninghe, Changsun Boyi and Liu Zi, and the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt, "The four of you came here together to appreciate flowers?"

"No." Li Shao and Wu Ning said in unison.

"It's just a chance encounter." Li Shao smiled lightly.

"Meet by chance?" Shangguan Ying snorted coldly, pointing at the four people with a whip, "General Changsun is Li Shao's man, and Wu Ninghe is currently staying at the mansion of General Changsun, and the one over there is Wu Ninghe Your husband, probably lives with General Changsun now, right? You all live together, but go out separately, and then run into each other by the Qujiang River? Who are you kidding!"

As she said that, Shangguan Ying stared and slapped Li Shao and Wu Ninghe's arms respectively.

Li Shao and Wu Ninghe supported their foreheads at the same time.

That's why they didn't want to run into this woman, because they didn't regard her as an enemy, but felt guilty instead, so they always neglected to face her.

Shangguan Ying smiled and said: "You two bastards, you can't straighten your backs in front of this princess, why are you lying?"

"Princess forgive me." Li Shao and Wu Ninghe bowed their hands to Shangguanying helplessly.

"Hmph!" Glancing at Changsun Boyi, the expression in Shangguan Ying's eyes changed slightly, and then he said with a bright smile, "How about it, you two invited me to drink today, if you have a good drink, I will forgive you."

"That's easy to say," Li Shao smiled, "Where does the princess want to go?"

Shangguan Yingxie smiled and said: "Go to Pingkang Fang, drink flower wine, you have no right to refuse!"

After the words were finished, Shangguan Ying turned around and took a step ahead, happily heading to Pingkangfang.The four of Li Shao stood there dumbfounded.

"What is she doing in Pingkangfang by herself?" Liu Zi was finally able to speak.

"Drink flower wine, didn't she say it?" Li Shao shook his head and laughed, "I'll go and see, if you don't want to go, you can all go back."

It's true in this world, the four men never go to Pingkangfang, but a woman, Shangguanying, is eager to go to Pingkangfang.

"How can I let you go by yourself?" Changsun Boyi gave Li Shao a white look.

Hearing that a princess from Xizhi Kingdom came with the mission this time, he guessed that the other party had the intention of getting married, and also found out that the other party seemed to be targeting him. He didn't care at first, because the other party wanted to make peace. , so the initiative is actually in their hands.It's just that I didn't expect the princess to propose a kiss to Li Shao?When did she approach Li Shao?

Seeing that she is still smiling when she sees Li Shao, who knows if she is still interested in Li Shao?Moreover, he asked Li Shao to drink flower wine, what kind of intentions did he have?How could he let Li Shao go alone?

"I'll go too!" Liu Zi immediately stated that he wanted to join in the excitement.

He didn't even know that there was someone who had proposed marriage to both Shao and the seven idiots at the same time. She was a woman of taste, and he wanted to observe it.

Wu Ninghe, who originally wanted to refuse, had no room to refuse now, so he could only go together.

On one side, Shangguan Ying took four men to drink flower wine, and on the other side, Shangguan Qi, the eldest prince of Xizhi Kingdom, was sitting in the room of the official post, playing a game of chess.

"Eldest Prince." Lu He, the guard next to Shangguan Qi, knocked on the door, then opened it and entered.

Shangguan Qi still focused on the chessboard, and asked Lu He softly, "What did you find out?"

"Prince forgive me." Lu He immediately knelt in front of Shangguan Qi, "People in Ding Lingguo are always very tight-lipped, this time even Liguo can't find any news."

Shangguan Qi was not angry, he only reminded Lu Hedao: "Now, they are not called Li Guo, but Hou Chu, don't think of them as Li Guo, otherwise, they will suffer."

Changsun Boyi, Li Shao, Yongning, and Jie Jun, although these four people are still young, they are definitely more shrewd and cunning than anyone in the court of Li Guo. The seedling is destroyed.

"Subordinates, remember!"

"Where's the princess?" Shangguan Qi asked again.

Lu He replied: "I told the princess where General Hou Chu Tiance is an hour ago, and the princess has already gone."

"Where did she take people?"

"This..." Lu He hesitated for a moment, and said, "The princess has brought people to Pingkangfang, and the seventh prince and wife of the seventh prince of Ding Lingguo are also with her, and there is also... Li Shao."

Shangguan Qi's hand that was about to drop a piece suddenly stopped, and then looked carefully at the chessboard, Shangguan Qi withdrew his hand and threw the chess pieces back into the chess basket.

"Go and see if the princess is back. If she comes back, no matter what she looks like, bring her to see me."

With Li Shao around, Shangguan Ying wouldn't be able to get anything from grandson Boyi.

Lu He was taken aback for a moment, but still complied, turned around and went out, went to Shangguan Ying's room to check, and at this glance, he really saw Shangguan Ying who was so drunk.

Lu He carried the drunk Shangguan Ying back to Shangguan Qi's room, and then put Shangguan Ying in a chair.

"Prince, this..."

Shangguan Qi looked at the unconscious Shangguan Ying coldly, picked up a cup of herbal tea and walked over, and poured the tea on Shangguan Ying's face without hesitation.

Shangguan Ying shivered and opened his eyes in a daze.

The moment he saw Shangguan Qi, Shangguan Ying shivered, and then collapsed in the chair again, looking like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

"Shangguan Ying, I brought you here, not for you to play."

Shangguan Ying wiped the cold water off his face, and said with a sneer, "Then what can I do? It's Brother Wang, you know heroes with your eyes, and you can choose men who only like men every time. I'm really ashamed of your eyesight." .”

Shangguan Qi suddenly reached out and grabbed Shangguan Ying's arm, and threw him to the ground: "Didn't your mother and concubine teach you how to talk to me?"

Shangguan Ying gritted his teeth and swallowed the pain, and simply lay down on the ground: "I never taught it. My mother and concubine are lowly, and I am also lowly. A lowly person can't learn to behave, and a noble person like Brother Wang will definitely not." Are you familiar with lowly people like us?"

Shangguan Qi walked up to Shangguan Ying and kicked Shangguan Ying's stomach. Seeing Shangguan Ying shrink into a ball in pain, Shangguan Qi said again: "Although Changsun Boyi is still with Li Shao , but they are not married yet, you find a way to get eldest grandson Boyi, or wait to collect the corpses for your mother, concubine and younger brother! Throw her out."

"Yes."

Shangguan Qi said to throw it, but Lu He didn't dare to use other methods, so he could only drag Shangguan Ying's arm out of the door. Seeing Shangguan Ying's attendants helped her up at the door, he closed the door.

Shangguan Ying, who was supported up, couldn't stand up straight at all, and stared bitterly at the closed door in front of him, and tears welled up from his eyes as he stared.

This hypocritical bastard, she will want him to look good sooner or later!
