The Grand Princess

Chapter 28: Whisk

Having known Pei Wenxuan for many years, Li Rong clearly knows Pei Wenxuan's ability.

When he is against you, he can anger you to death. But if he deliberately pleases someone, that flattering ability is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After all, Pei Wenxuan was also a son of a high-ranking family. He was already very clever. It is said that he was almost the leader of the school in the academy back then. The gentleman was proficient in all six arts, and he was able to coax a girl.

Li Rong felt at ease when he saw what he said. After a while, Pei Wenxuan saw a piece of paper wrapped in a stone thrown from next door. Pei Wenxuan was stunned. He never thought that Li Rong would reply to the letter, so he hurried to pick it up. After removing the stone, squatting on the ground and opening it, Li Rongjuan brought some sharp handwriting in the show:

Talk more if you can speak.

Pei Wenxuan looked at this word and almost thought of Li Rong raising his eyebrows and saying this with a smile. He didn't know what happened, but Li Rong's arrogant and arrogant appearance turned out to be a little cute.

He raised his tail like a cat, proud and affectionate.

Pei Wenxuan had a teasing heart. After a while, Li Rong got a reply. The head of Pei Wenxuan handed the note over. Li Rong hurriedly picked it up, opened it, and found that it was still a painting. This painting is much simpler, with a few strokes, it outlines a jar with the word "peony" on it and the four words "aged peony" next to it.

Seeing these four words, Li Rong immediately crumpled the paper into a ball and smashed it out, and stopped taking care of the dog's stuff.

When Pei Wenxuan saw Li Rong smashed the paper, he knew that Li Rong was angry. He hurriedly said: "Ah, my lord, don't be angry, just kidding."

"People don't talk with dogs," Li Rong said coldly, "Stop barking!"

Pei Wenxuan was choked by Li Rong's words, but he also knew that Li Rong was in anger. He hurriedly wrote a few hymns to Li Rong, reached out and handed them over, whispered: "Princess, princess, take a look? "

Li Rong didn't bother to pay attention to him, reading the script with melon seeds, Pei Wenxuan's hand was sour, and she changed another hand, and continued to shake the paper in her hand: "Princess, I was wrong, I apologize to you, I won't tease you Yes. You look at it?"

Li Rong looked up at the white paper dangling outside, then looked down at her own notebook, Pei Wenxuan called her in a different voice: "Princess? Your Highness? Li Rong..."

Before the words were finished, there were voices of people talking outside, and some footsteps. Pei Wenxuan immediately stood up and leaned against the wall. Just after finishing his clothes, he saw a young man in a crimson official uniform. Walked out of the long road.

He should have arrived in a hurry, with some fine sweat on his forehead. As soon as he entered the cell, his eyes fell on Li Rong. Seeing that Li Rongshang was well, he immediately sighed and paid a respectful salute to Li Rong: "Your Highness. ."

Li Rong was a little surprised. She looked at the people who came and said with some confusion, "Master Su?"

Su Rongqing finished the ceremony, straightened up, and nodded towards Pei Wenxuan: "Master Pei."

Pei Wenxuan nodded indifferently. Li Rong saw that there was sweat on Su Rongqing's head, she couldn't help laughing: "Why is Master Su in such a hurry? Wipe off the sweat first."

As she said, she handed a veil over. Su Rongqing saw the veil that Li Rong handed over. He hesitated for a moment, but before Li Rong could respond, he immediately reached out respectfully and took Li Rong’s hand over. The veil: "His Royal Highness."

Su Rongqing took the handkerchief and wiped his forehead lightly. Pei Wenxuan leaned against the wall and watched quietly. The paper rolled up in his hand was hitting his shoulder without a hitch.

Su Rongqing wiped her forehead while letting her breath fall, and then said, "The road is a bit rushed. Don't laugh at him."

"What are you doing in such a hurry?"

Li Rong chuckles, and Su Rongqing respectfully said: "Today, I learned that something happened to your Royal Highness, so I wanted to rush over, but he was summoned by His Majesty, and now he had to get out of the palace. He rushed over because he was afraid of making trouble in prison. "

Su Rongqing has always spoken very smoothly. There is no sound line like Pei Wenxuan. His every move seems to be measured with a ruler, even his voice. Li Rong listened to him and asked, "What happened to the morning?"

"This morning, there was news from the border gate," Su Rongqing looked straight. "Two days ago, the defender of the city attacked the city, and the defender of the city killed Zhao Yi on the front line. At this moment, the whole line retreated to Fencheng. The Yang family submitted his resignation last time."

"Resign?"

Li Rong laughed: "What did you say?"

Su Rongqing's expression is not very good, but she repeats it like this: "Yang Ming said that Yang Quan committed a terrible disaster and provoked the princess. The Yang family had no face to face the heavens, so he asked the old man to return home, saying that he would bring the Yang family's children back to her house. Shanlin, I hope His Highness will let them make a living."

"Zhuxin's words."

Pei Wenxuan spoke quietly, and Li Rong tapped the heart of her hand with a fan.

If the Yang family submits their resignation in normal times, the court may not have been so flustered, but now that the battlefield owner is about to die, seeing the Rong country is about to fight over, at this time the Yang family’s resignation is a threat.

"What did others say?"

Li Rong asked calmly.

"His Royal Highness should know that most families stand with the Yang family," Su Rongqing replied smoothly. "The family does not like changes. The Yang family guards the border. In any case, they have been guarding the family for so long in the past unless they actually threaten the family. Benefits, the aristocratic family will not change their position. Now that the Yang family is so forced, today the courtiers are shaking, and the Manchu civil and military forces demanded that His Majesty be imprisoned in order to secure the heart of the soldiers at the border."

"I understand."

Li Rong nodded, Su Rongqing raised his eyes to look at Li Rong: "What does the minister need to do?"

"No need." Li Rong shook her head, "Just do your own thing."

Su Rongqing tightened her lips, seemingly unwilling, he continued: "Your Highness, what I said before..."

"I know it all."

Li Rong cut him off and said seriously: "But what I said to you is also sincere. I didn't refuse you because I was on guard or looked down on you, but Master Su really didn't have to intervene in these things. I promise Master Su, Not a joke."

Su Rongqing did not speak. Li Rong seemed disappointed when he saw him, and laughed: "Master Su must want to do something, why don't you bring something for the palace next time you come?"

"What does the princess want?"

Su Rongqing finally got some reaction when he heard this. Li Rong thought for a while: "Bring a few books. I like to read storybooks. You read a lot and recommend a few."

Su Rongqing respectfully responded, and Li Rong asked about the specific situation of the early dynasty. After speaking, the two fell silent. After a while, Su Rongqing respectfully said: "If nothing else, we will leave."

Li Rong nodded and just said: "Go, don't be so anxious next time, I can't get anything wrong in this Huajing."

Su Rongqing saluted and retreated. When he walked out, Pei Wenxuan's voice sounded slowly: "His Royal Highness, I also read a lot of books. How many books can I recommend to you?"

"No need," Li Rong replied, "I'm tired of reading the books recommended by Master Pei, and I want to change it."

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan subconsciously wanted to fight back, but he suddenly stopped shortly before the words were spoken.

He suddenly remembered that he shouldn't live like this anymore, and shouldn't always fight with Li Rong, even for Su Rongqing.

Li Rong is actually right. A person always hopes that his enemy is not good. The essence is the inferiority deep in his heart.

He didn't like Su Rongqing and always said that he was not good. In fact, it was just his anger and inferiority and anger facing Su Rongqing.

But it's been a lifetime, he started again, Li Rong is a good girl, and he doesn't want to keep arguing with Li Rong.

So he restrained himself and said nothing.

Seeing that Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, Li Rong couldn't help but feel a little strange. In the past, in the case of Su Rongqing, he almost exploded at one point. How could he be silent for so long?

She cautiously said: "Pei Wenxuan?"

When Pei Wenxuan did not speak, Li Rong couldn't help but make some bad speculations: "Pei Wenxuan, why are you not talking? Did something happen to you?"

"No."

Pei Wenxuan eased his emotions. He changed his posture, leaned against the wall, adjusted his voice, pretending to be calm and said: "I was just thinking about what Su Rongqing said to you before, and why did you reject him?"

Li Rong was a little surprised. She thought that Pei Wenxuan would quarrel with her again, but she didn't want Pei Wenxuan to start to open up too?

Seeing that she was not speaking, Pei Wenxuan couldn't help but say: "Why don't you speak? Inconvenient to say?"

"No," Li Rong came back to her senses, "Pei Wenxuan, you have changed too much, I am afraid. You...do you want to stop cursing?"

Pei Wenxuan: "..."

"I'm talking about you," Pei Wenxuan sighed. "You can't get through without quarreling, right?"

"That's right," Li Rong nodded, "This way I feel better in my heart."

Pei Wenxuan: "..."

"Su Rongqing said he wanted to take refuge in the prince, but I didn't agree." Seeing that Pei Wenxuan was back to normal, Li Rong responded to Pei Wenxuan's question.

"Why didn't you agree?" Pei Wenxuan frowned. If Su Rongqing was on Li Chuan's side, it would not be a bad thing.

"I don't think he should be the one who should do these things." Li Rong said flatly, "The disasters of the Su family in the previous life were mainly because of Su Ronghua's problems. In this life, it is better for Su Ronghua to stay away from King Su. He doesn't have to follow early. Chuan'er, he will serve as his minister of the Criminal Department and take good care of his duties. Chuan'er will not embarrass him."

"Are you afraid of getting involved in these things prematurely and dirtying his heart?"

Pei Wenxuan spoke directly, Li Rong didn't say anything. When Pei Wenxuan acquiesced in her, he had a sigh of relief in his heart, and he couldn't get up or down.

"You are very kind to him," Pei Wenxuan's voice was flat, "but I'm not afraid to pull me into the water and dirty my heart."

"What's so dirty about your heart?" Li Rong didn't understand Pei Wenxuan's hypocrisy, and directly disgusted. "People who are all dozens of years old, they are not ashamed to compare with other young people."

"Then what about you?" Pei Wenxuan shot back immediately, "I'm a tens of years old, and I still think of other young people, so don't be ashamed."

Li Rong stopped speaking, and Pei Wenxuan suddenly felt that he had said this a bit more seriously.

Li Rong and Su Rongqing have feelings. He knew in his heart that even if Su Rongqing killed her, the end between them was not that they had a bad relationship, but that they had different positions. When Li Rong came back, she wanted to change Su Rongqing's position, and treated him better, but it was nothing.

It's just that after all he felt so uncomfortable in his heart, he couldn't help but say: "When I was young, you never persuaded me to stay away from these things."

Li Rong felt that Su Rongqing was a graceful gentleman who would not be tainted by the world, and he did not want him to be tainted by party disputes. But what about Pei Wenxuan?

Doesn't he also have hills in his heart, pretending to be thousands of waters and mountains?

"Did we have a choice back then?" Li Rong said flatly, Pei Wenxuan's heart was pressed, "There is no choice, but you never thought about it, did you?"

Li Rong was silent, and Pei Wenxuan took a deep breath: "In the final analysis, your feelings for me and Su Rongqing are different after all."

"You know so, what is it worth?"

Li Rong said calmly, Pei Wenxuan froze, Li Rong said calmly: "I have been with him for twenty-five years, and I have been with you for less than a year. If you want to compare this way, isn't it unpleasant to find yourself? And what are you doing more than these now? You said it yourself, this life has started over, and you plan to start over."

Pei Wenxuan did not speak, Li Rong leaned against the wall, lightly draped her shoulders with a fan.

The two of them were separated by a wall, back to back, each looking down at the ground.

"That's what you said," Pei Wenxuan chuckles, "start again, I shouldn't worry about this. I will change it slowly, and you will not care about me in the future."

Li Rong was speechless, Pei Wenxuan straightened up and said, "I'm resting, you can rest early."

He had a calm tone, but he didn't know what was wrong, Li Rong still heard a bit of embarrassment from the inside.

She knew that in Pei Wenxuan's heart, facing Su Rongqing, he was born with an indescribable sense of inferiority.

Although Su Pei is a big clan, the Su family is a century-old celebrity, and Pei was originally only a second-rate nobleman. With the efforts of Pei Wenxuan's father, he squeezed into the first-class celebrity.

Pei Wenxuan was very smart when he was young, and he was born handsome. He and Su Rongqing are both in the top two academies in Huajing, and each is the leader. So, if you only talk about individuals, Pei Wenxuan will naturally not lose. But for some things, it takes hundreds of years of accumulation and inheritance to be able to afford them. So when people mention Pei Wenxuan, they always say "It's a pity..."

When he was young, he lost slightly to Su Rongqing because of his family background. Later, even if Su Rongqing was tortured in the palace, he lost to Su Rongqing.

According to Pei Wenxuan, this is not something that can be put down with the words "coming over".

If it is a daily dispute, Li Rong would not bother to care about the uncomfortable things in his heart, but now Pei Wenxuan's attitude is getting better, she can't bear it when she thinks about this person.

She thought about it, and finally said: "Pei Wenxuan."

The other side pretended to sleep and didn’t speak, Li Rong said slowly: “I told him to stay away from these things because he is only in his twenties now, and I am already considered an elder, and my heart is somewhat caring, not other emotions. He and I cannot start again. He is 20-year-old Su Rongqing and I am 50-year-old Li Rong. I am old."

"If you are not coming back, I will meet you at the age of twenty," Li Rong paused, and finally said, "As long as you don't ask for trouble, you can help me as well."

Hearing Li Rong's words, Pei Wenxuan felt a little uncomfortable somehow.

This kind of discomfort is not the same as the sourness before. Before, he thought about being uncomfortable.

But what he was thinking now was, how could Li Rong speak in this tone?

She was used to being arrogant, and she never felt distressed about others. Now that she suddenly said these words, when Pei Wenxuan listened, she felt more uncomfortable than she scolded him.

"Don't always mention that you are old and old," Pei Wenxuan said, "We are all twenty years old, we are very young."

Li Rong smiled softly, she didn't say much, Pei Wenxuan was bored for a while, he got up, went to the corner, and greeted Li Rong: "Your Highness, come here."

Li Rong was a little puzzled, but she still got to the corner, squatted down, and wondered: "What do you do?"

"Your Highness, give me your hand."

Pei Wenxuan stretched out his hand. Although Li Rong didn't understand what he was going to do, Li Rong reached out. The two could not see each other, but they could see the hands of both parties. As soon as Pei Wenxuan grasped her hand, Li Rong couldn't help but tremble.

Pei Wenxuan's hands are very thin, with distinct bone joints, and his skin is hot and warm, with a bit of roughness unique to men.

Li Rong's hands were slender and soft, and her skin was delicate and smooth. Her nails were dyed with Dancome after finishing. Pei Wenxuan grabbed all her hands in her hands.

The unspeakable numbness went up smoothly, but it instantly reminded the two of them of some absurd years when they were young. But now they let go in a hurry and seem gaffe, so both of them pretend to be calm, as if they have no feeling.

Li Rong said indifferently: "What are you doing? If you can't give a reason, you are committed."

Pei Wenxuan blushed badly, but he also tried to calm down. Fortunately, the two of them couldn't see each other now. He gently put something into Li Rong's palm, and then calmly let go, saying: "Your Majesty, give you a good Something, you try to eat it."

Li Rong was a little dazed. She took her hand back and spread it out, and saw a small round pill. She couldn't help but be a little wary: "What is this?"

"His Royal Highness, you'll know if you try it."

"What if it's poison?"

"Do I still need to poison you now? You ate my fish before."

Li Rong: "..."

It made sense, Li Rong thought for a while and put the pill into her mouth.

With the sweetness of plum blossoms in his mouth, Li Rong was a little at a loss. Then Pei Wenxuan asked, "Is it sweet?"

"sweet……"

Li Rong was puzzled: "What are you eating for me?"

"It's a sugar pill." Pei Wenxuan laughed, "Didn't you like sweet ones? You feel sweet when you are eighteen, and you feel sweet when you are fifty, Li Rong, don't care about age too much. Just you Don't think you are old, you will always be a little girl."

Li Rong didn't speak. She squatted with Pei Wenxuan. She wrapped her hands on her knees and put her face on her arm with a sugar pill in her mouth. She smiled and said, "What else do you have to be obedient? Tell me more?

Pei Wenxuan laughed when she heard her words, and felt comfortable in his heart. He stood up and went back to the bed: "Don't say it, I'm out of interest. If you want to listen, come back tomorrow, my son will tell you if he is happy. sentence."

Li Rong caught his words, sipped him, drew the curtain, got up and went back to the bed.

Li Rong slept until dawn, and after waking up the next day, Jinglan brought some people. They led people to wait for Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan to clean up, and then began to clean the cell. Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan stood in the yard. If there is nothing wrong, just start Tai Chi.

When I was young, I was tortured and loved to keep in good health when I was young. Both of them suffered from illness and pain and paid more attention to their bodies.

When Li Chuan came, he saw two people doing Tai Chi. He stood behind Li Rong who was doing Tai Chi and asked in confusion: "Sister, when did you start Tai Chi?"

"I can still play Wu Qin Xi." Li Rong's head was wrong, Li Chuan choked, and then said, "No, I'm asking when you started this kind of thing that the Queen Mother likes to do."

When Pei Wenxuan heard this, he was unhappy. He only persuaded Li Rong last night. He was afraid that Li Chuan could not think about it. He immediately said: "It's not too late to take care of your body. Your Majesty, you should practice early. Up."

Li Chuan felt that these two people were sick.

But he didn't have time to quarrel with them, and said directly: "Sister, this is an edict."

"You go?" Li Rong knew that Li Chuan was referring to the Northwest. The Yang family handed in his resignation. Li Ming had to send someone to the Northwest to resolve the war. They are now sending Li Chuan out.

"I'm going to supervise the army." Li Chuan answered, and Li Rong nodded, "Is that man going?"

Li Rong asked Qin Lin, and Li Chuan nodded and said: "Go, split into two paths, I will give him a secret arrangement first."

"Okay." Li Rongping said peacefully, "After passing, get the ledger as soon as possible."

"I understand." Li Chuan answered, and Li Rong said in Tai Chi, "Go, there is me here."

When Li Chuan heard this, he looked at Li Rong and then at Pei Wenxuan. After a while, he called Pei Wenxuan: "Hey."

Pei Wenxuan pretended not to hear him, and continued to practice Tai Chi. Li Chuan knew that he was hanging him. Although he was a little angry, he had no time to care. He only said: "Lonely leave these days, you have to take good care of my sister."

"I don't need him to take care of it," Li Rong said immediately, "You go quickly."

"It's easy to leave." Pei Wenxuan answered with Tai Chi. Li Chuan was choked by these two people, held back for a long time, and finally said, "Forget it, I'm leaving."

After speaking, he threw off his sleeves and walked out the corridor. After walking a few steps, he suddenly called out, "Sister."

Li Rong turned around and saw Li Chuan suddenly ran back and hugged her.

He trembled slightly, and whispered: "Sister, if I don't come back..."

"Sister A is here." Li Rong raised her hand, stroked Li Chuan's back, and said peacefully, "You will be safe. A sister will protect you anytime."

Listening to Li Rong's words, Li Chuan felt an inexplicable peace in his heart. He suddenly developed a lot of courage. He felt that on the way, someone seemed to spread their wings and quietly guarded behind him.

"Sister," Li Chuan whispered, "I will come back well, don't be afraid."

"I'm back, I protect you."

Li Rong couldn't help laughing as she listened to Li Chuan's words.

Li Chuan let go of her, this time he didn't look back, and ran out all the way.

Pei Wenxuan stood behind Li Rong, and he looked at Li Rong's expression. That kind of calm, calm, and hopeful expression was something he hadn't seen in decades since.

"Li Rong," he couldn't help calling her, Li Rong turned around, somewhat puzzled: "Huh?"

Pei Wenxuan quietly looked at Li Rong who turned his head to look at him. He saw the girl's clear watery eyes reflecting his own shadow, watching the peach blossoms in the late spring that blew from nowhere, and he looked at Li Rong at this moment.

He suddenly had an inexplicable urge.

He hoped that Li Rong could live a lifetime with such a look and a smile.

If Li Rong can live like this for a lifetime...

It is not impossible for him to feel wronged and treat her better.

"Pei Wenxuan?" Seeing Pei Wenxuan not speaking, Li Rong couldn't help but call him, Pei Wenxuan returned to his senses, he smiled lightly, and raised his hand over her head.

"The flower fell on your head."

He whispered: "I'll brush it off for you."

Willing to dust and snow for you, willing to run for you for half a lifetime.

Only at that moment, Pei Wenxuan himself didn't know that there were so many things he could do for Li Rong.
