The Grand Princess

Chapter 50: Alliance

Pei Wenxuan stayed up most of the night, and finally fell asleep in a daze. He felt that he hadn't slept for a long time, and was awakened again to prepare to go to the morning court.

When he got up, Li Rong was sleeping soundly, Pei Wenxuan was so angry that he couldn't help but raised his hand and squeezed Li Rong's face. Li Rong frowned, raised his hand to hit him, and muttered: "What are you doing? Well you."

Pei Wenxuan seemed unhappy when he heard Li Rong, and finally felt a little more comfortable, stood up and walked.

Li Rong was dissatisfied when Pei Wenxuan squeezed her face, but she was too sleepy, so she didn't care and fell asleep in a daze.

After waking up, Li Rong remembered what Pei Wenxuan had done, and sneered while washing her face. Jingmei saw Li Rong's smile with chills, and couldn't help but said, "His Royal Highness is thinking of something upsetting?"

Generally, when Li Rong showed this kind of eyes, some people would be unlucky. Li Rong took the veil from the side and said quietly: "It's nothing. When the consort comes back, change his tea to salt water."

Jingmei was stunned, and quickly glanced at Jinglan, and then the two of them pursed their lips and laughed. Li Rong looked at them the same: "Laugh at me? Are you brave?"

"His Royal Highness has been doing things a lot recently," Jinglan said hurriedly, "Now I finally have a bit of temper from the past, we can't help but miss it."

Li Rong was a little relieved to hear this, after all, it proved that she was getting younger and younger. She shook the fan and did not pursue the topic. She turned around and went into the room and asked someone to say, "Let the doctor go and see Miss Qin, and let someone go to the Criminal Ministry to bring a message, saying that I want to visit the Qin family. , See how they respond."

Jingmei answered, went down and ordered someone to do something.

Li Rong sat down in the yard and lay on the recliner, feeling a little stolen for a while.

In the beginning, I was busy with the marriage gift and the Yang family. Later I was busy with marriage and Li Chuan's selection of the concubine. Now I have made a decision and set up the Supervisory Department. The previous issues are over, and then I have to wait. Li Ming replied that she rarely got down for a while, lying on the recliner and looking at the blue sky, and some did not know what to do.

She seldom lay in the yard for a while when she was free. She simply asked people to take out a notebook and brought out some fruit seeds. While nibbling on the seeds, she looked at the notebook.

When Pei Wenxuan came back, he saw Li Rong lying on the rocking chair, looking at the script with joy. Pei Wenxuan walked over to her and patted her with the wat board: "What makes you laugh like this?"

"This is really interesting," Li Rong smiled and put down the book and straightened up. "A princess, a prime minister, a brothel prostitute, three people are chasing a poor scholar, and the prime minister is with him Eloping, the princess committed suicide for him, and I laughed so much that tears came out of my eyes. You said where did this poor scholar come from, and dreamed of doing this for most of the day, has he seen the princess?"

"Which serious person writes these things?" Pei Wenxuan put a note in Li Rong's arms and smiled, "Your Majesty responded, and the supervisor is up to you. But building such a thing requires some grounds. "

"Your Majesty said," Pei Wenxuan put his hands in his sleeves and said in a frantic voice, "Think of a way to give him a step. He will not only approve you to build a supervision department, but also give you ten more counties."

"really?"

Li Rong sat up straight, her eyes brightened. Pei Wenxuan was amused by her: "In ten counties, your Royal Highness is so happy?"

"I don't know that Chai Mi is expensive if you are not in charge." Li Rong glared at him, "I only ask for money all the time. How do I know my difficulties?"

Pei Wenxuan leaned against the tree and said with a smile: "I have to take care of the princess for the life of soft rice."

"Go and go." Li Rong stood up and walked to the dining room. Pei Wenxuan followed her behind and whispered softly, "It's not suitable to find trouble now. When the Qin family's case is settled, we will go to reverse the case. Bigger, you, the Supervisory Department, want to build it, and you will be right."

"I understand, I sent someone to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to ask about the situation first." After that, Li Rong remembered, "Did you tell Su Rongqing I want to date him?"

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan smiled a little, and said indifferently: "I said it during the next dynasty."

"promised?"

Pei Wenxuan turned his head, showing a good smile: "People don't agree."

"Don't agree?!"

Li Rong paused and was a little shocked: "He didn't promise to see me?"

"You are not a goddess," Pei Wenxuan rolled his eyes when she saw her in shock, "Why must I promise you?"

Li Rong didn't speak, she really never thought that Su Rongqing would not agree. Perhaps it was the inertia of the previous life, or perhaps it was that Su Rongqing had always shown favor to Li Rong in this life, but suddenly rejected Li Rong so much that Li Rong was a little surprised. She chased Pei Wenxuan up, her tone was full of no Solution: "Why didn't he agree? Did he explain the reason?"

"If you don't agree, you won't agree. Why are you in a hurry?" Pei Wenxuan saw that Li Rong's tone was not good and his tone was not getting better, so he said, "He said that he knew what you wanted to do with him. , Let you leave it alone."

Li Rong got the answer, after thinking for a while, he understood what Su Rongqing meant.

Su Rongqing helped in the previous case of the Yang family. It was because the Yang family itself was an aristocrat who was free from Huajing. They lived in the northwest all the year round. They didn’t have much contact with the aristocracy of Huajing. The aristocratic family presents a hostile and cooperative relationship. Su Rongqing helped her without any resistance.

But this time the situation is different. The family involved is complicated this time, and many families in Huajing have in-laws. This time I am afraid that even the Su family may be involved. Even if it is not a helper, it will definitely not be. Tiger blocking the way.

Li Rong knocked on the fan, trying to understand Su Rongqing's thoughts, and felt a little funny for a while.

She lowered her head and laughed, Pei Wenxuan turned her head to look at her: "What are you laughing at?"

"I just confirmed it again," Li Rong looked at Pei Wenxuan, "You still need to know myself better than me."

Pei Wenxuan did not understand, and asked her with his eyes. Li Rong sighed: "You said that I had him in my heart, and I was a little skeptical, but now I believe it. You said that if I didn't have some friendship with him, what? Unexpectedly, he can't help me this time."

Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, Li Rong shook his head and chuckled, "I'm confused, forget it, let's go another way."

"You..." Pei Wenxuan slowed down and said slowly, "You don't have to be sad. He is not familiar with you now, and everything is based on interests, which is normal."

"Why did you comfort me?" Li Rong raised her eyebrows. "Why don't I think about such a small matter? Forget it, do you have anything to do this afternoon?"

"I'm going to find Shangguanya," Li Rong shook her fan, "If you are fine, why not stay with me?"

When Pei Wenxuan heard this, he knew what Li Rong meant. Shangguanya might go to the casino. If he went to the casino, he really needed his company.

So he nodded, and said, "Okay."

The two went to Shangguanya and went to Shangguan's house first. After receiving news that Shangguanya had gone to the teahouse, the two did not detour this time and went straight to the casino.

Pei Wenxuan called his friend to pick up the token again. After getting in, Li Rong couldn't help but say, "Next time, let's get a token by ourselves."

"Yes."

Otherwise, he would always borrow tokens, and he would be embarrassed.

He looked for Li Rong in the crowd, and met Shangguanya at the table playing the leaf card.

Shangguanya was wearing a men's suit and was able to fight vigorously. When Li Rong walked behind her, she just yelled: "Bump!"

Li Rong patted her on the shoulder, Shangguanya said impatiently: "Little master plays cards..."

Before finishing speaking, Shangguanya froze. Li Rong smiled and squinted at her: "I have something to look for you."

Shangguan Ya smiled reluctantly: "Can you wait for me to finish this round, I will soon win."

Li Rong smiled softly, and said, "Then I will wait for you in my private room."

Gambling shops generally have private rooms for VIPs, so you can enter as long as you have a limit on the gambling money.

Li Rong went directly to the private room on the second floor, worked in it, and after playing with the sieve for a while, she heard Shang Guanya standing at the door, a little anxious: "Well, did I come in?"

Li Rong put down the sieve cup and straightened up: "Come in."

Shangguanya opened the door and entered the house. She closed the door and walked to the table with a smile: "I am not used to seeing you in this place."

With that, she sat down, Pei Wenxuan stood aside and poured tea for Shangguanya. Shangguanya looked up and down Pei Wenxuan, picked up the tea and smiled with Li Rong: "You are a good man, I like it."

Pei Wenxuan smiled without saying a word, standing behind Li Rong, looking at Shangguan Ya without speaking.

Li Rong glanced back at Pei Wenxuan, then looked at Shangguanya who was unobtrusive in front of him, and chuckled lightly: "Bold."

"I know the princess won't mind." Shangguanya raised her teacup, like a wine glass. After taking a sip, she put down the cup, leaned against the arm of the chair, and said with a smile, "Say your highness, come to me, yes Talk about Qin's case?"

"Why does everyone in the world know that I want to take care of this case?"

Although Li Rong was not surprised that Shangguanya knew about this, she was also a little curious. Shangguanya supported her chin and looked at Li Rong: "His Royal Highness took care of Yang Quan’s case last time and intervened in the matter of choosing a concubine in the palace. It's strange that the case does not interfere."

"Oh?"

Li Rong raised her eyebrows: "Then why do you think I intervened?"

"His Royal Highness doesn't think it," Shangguanya looked at her, her eyes were clear, "Does the family care too much?"

Li Rong didn't speak, she looked at Shangguanya. Shangguanya straightened up and took a bit of correctness that she could only have in the palace: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the family, forced His Highness Pingle to marry Lord Pei. Now the family is about to force the prince again. Your Royal Highness marries your concubine. You say, fate is in the hands of others. Can His Royal Highness bear it? Can His Royal Highness bear it? Can Your Royal Prince bear it?

"That's why you changed the incense burner in the palace?"

"His Royal Highness is smart." Shangguanya complimented, "Aya listened to what His Highness said to Aya last time. It's just that Shangguan's family is not in Aya's hands after all, and Aya can't be the master."

Shangguanya's last sentence was very meaningful. Li Rong looked at Shangguanya and she knew clearly Shangguanya's control over Shangguan's family.

Now Shangguanya is still too weak, but after her last life, although Shangguanya was in the harem, she was the actual person in charge of the Shangguan family.

The relationship between Shangguanya and Shangguanjia is completely opposite to that between Shangguanyue and Shangguanjia. Shangguanyue lives for Shangguanjia, and Shangguanjia exists for Shangguanya.

Li Rong opened the folding fan in his hand and said slowly, "So, what are you going to do to Shangguan's family?"

"My Highness and I mean the same thing," Shangguanya put a smile on her face and said seriously, "Shangguan's family should slowly withdraw from the court. So I hope to establish a better relationship with Your Highness."

"what relationship?"

"Have you ever thought about supporting a person with better control to control the Shangguan family?" Shangguanya's voice was flat. "In this way, Shangguan family can be completely loyal to His Royal Highness and assist His Highness to assist the prince ascend to the throne, and then slowly withdraw from the court, leaving only a few people. To save face in Korea, everyone else will go back to Youzhou."

"Why don't you quit now?" Li Rong smiled, Shangguan Yamo holding the teacup, "Why do you know that you ask, now that your Majesty has been suppressed by the Shangguan for more than ten years, and the sickness is in your heart, can the Shangguan retreat? Now Shangguan Once the family retires, I am afraid that there is only one dead end. The only way is to establish a better relationship with the prince and you, so that the two can rest assured that they will go to the official family, and wait for the future prince to take the throne, and the official family will quit by themselves."

Listening to Shangguanya's words, Li Rong laughed aloud: "Do you want to be the principal of the Shangguan family?"

"Not now," Shangguanya raised her eyebrows, "What about the future?"

"Why should I help you?"

"His Royal Highness," Shangguanya leaned over and said with a smile, "You and I are both women, and have the same ideas. If I want to be the principal of the Shangguan family, I must rely on Your Highness. Is this Shangguan family better than the current one? A lot to control?"

"Only in this way," Shangguanya's expression was meaningful, "Shangguanjia is the Shangguanjia in His Highness's hands."

Li Rong thoroughly understood what Shangguanya meant.

Now the relationship between Shangguan family and Li Rong and Li Chuan is that Shangguan family is in control of them, not they are in control of Shangguan family.

Long time ago, whether Li Chuan or Li Rong, sooner or later will become Li Ming today.

Shangguanya could see clearly, but her father's arrogance could not be changed, so she could only find another way.

Shangguanya is now putting the future of Shangguan's family into Li Rong's hands, on the one hand to show weakness, and on the other hand, she is also seeking an umbrella.

If the Shangguan family were completely handed over to Li Chuan or any monarch, the other party would infinitely weaken the family for their own power and the court.

In Li Rong’s hands, Shangguan’s family and Li Rong are in a solidarity. Li Rong cannot completely weaken Shangguan’s family. He can only manage and control. Facing the Shangguan family controlled by Li Rong, as long as the monarch trusts Li Rong enough, he will relax against Shangguan. Vigilance at home. If the monarch does not trust Li Rong, he must move Li Rong before he takes over the official family.

Nowadays, Li Ming and Shangguan’s family are endlessly dying, and Li Rong and Shangguanya’s goal is to support Shang Li Chuan so that Li Chuan and Shangguan’s family will not fall into the current situation, and then Shangguan Ya will become Shangguan’s family. Find a safer location so that it won’t be as precarious as today.

Regardless of Shangguanyue or Shangguanxu, they were born at the peak of Shangguan's family, and deep down they didn't believe in what Li Ming could do to them. They always believed that Shangguan's and Li Ming still had an advantage.

Therefore, the queen's way to protect the position of the prince is to rely on the family infinitely and make the family an indispensable part of Li Chuan. In her heart, this is the best way to keep her son. This method not only guarantees Li Chuan's accession to the throne, but also guarantees that the glory of the Shangguan family will continue.

It's just that she overlooked that people who were born in the royal family value dignity and autonomy in fate far beyond their imagination.

Shangguan Ya clearly saw this.

Because she herself is also a person like Li Rong, she clearly knows the thoughts of Li Rong and Li Chuan, and she also understands the precarious fate of Shangguan family.

Li Rong looked at her friend from the previous life, but was not surprised at her sharpness. After a while, she laughed: "Excellent, then you can tell me what you need."

"In most cases, you don’t need your Highness’s help." Shangguanya seemed to have known that Li Rong would agree, but she was not surprised, leaning on the back of the chair, fiddled with the dice unconsciously with one hand, and said, "I need help occasionally, maybe Very busy."

"There are so many places where I need your help." Li Rong was not polite, "Did you think about it?"

"Relax, I will listen to His Highness's orders." Shangguan Ya raised her eyes, "So this time, what does His Highness want me to do?"

"Do you know who participated this time?"

"There are three uncles who came to my house recently, the Wen family in Xingyang, the Cui family in Qinghe, and the Wang family in Longxi. You can follow them to find out who are in the Ministry of Justice and the Yushitai. You probably know that they participated in the Qin family. Who is involved in the case?"

Shangguanya was clearly prepared, and Li Rong was relieved to see her on the road like this.

"Any other news?"

"The matter has just begun, I will help you stare, if there is news, I will notify you immediately."

"Good." Li Rong nodded and exchanged, "You can tell me what else you need."

"Twenty people," Shangguanya was rude, "I want to arrange to enter the Shangguan mansion."

"Okay." Li Rong immediately responded. After the two parties reached a deal, Shangguanya stood up, "If there is nothing else, I will go round again. There is not much time. I have to go back to the house after the fight. I don’t pay for it."

Li Rong was a little frustrated when she heard the word "money". Fortunately, gambling money is nothing for her. She waved her hand and sighed, "Go."

Shangguanya retired, and Li Rong turned to look at Pei Wenxuan, and said helplessly: "You said you are all one by one, how come you are the master of asking for money? When can I give me a God of Wealth and relieve my family. The pressure of the Lord?"

Pei Wenxuan heard it funny, and went out with her: "You work harder, let your majesty send you the ten counties, and the money will come."

When Li Rong heard this, she looked back and looked up and down at Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan was so stared at her that she couldn't help but say: "What do you look at me?"

"I just remembered..." Li Rong raised her hand to hold Pei Wenxuan and smiled, "Wenxuan, don't you still have a family property to inherit?"

Pei Wenxuan was so taken by Li Rong, the whole person was stiff, his mind was stuck together, and he couldn't say anything.

Li Rong thought of Pei Wenxuan’s family business, and became happy for a while: "Don’t most of your Pei family’s properties also earned by your father? It stands to reason that you are an adult, and it would not be appropriate for your uncle to help you keep it. Let’s find a chance. , Go talk to your house, what do you think?"

Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, his whole senses were where Li Rong touched him.

Li Rong really didn't treat him as an outsider, holding his hand like this, like two big girls talking. Pei Wenxuan could see that Li Rong was driven crazy by the money. Thinking of the money in his family, Li Rong's tone was much gentler: "The father-in-law is a capable man. He used his own power to squeeze the Pei family from a second-rate family. After entering the first class, you must have a lot of property left. You have to learn from him. You can't always think of asking me for money. You should learn the dignity of some men, don't you?"

When Pei Wenxuan heard her talk about men, he finally recovered a bit. He glanced at Li Rong up and down, turned his head, and said directly: "I have no dignity."

Li Rong got angry as soon as he heard it. Knowing that Pei Wenxuan was rejecting her proposal, she stretched out her hand to pinch Pei Wenxuan's soft flesh and twisted it, and said angrily: "Why are you so worthless?!"

"Ouch, my grandmother," Pei Wenxuan sighed, "Can you be more realistic, my second uncle is just a little bit worse than Shangguan Xu. Let's go and ask for money now, that's a hukou. Food. You think money is fine, can you think of other easier ways?"

Li Rong also knows this truth. She sighed and said sadly: "It's so hard to make money."

Hearing what Li Rong said, Pei Wenxuan turned his head and glanced at Li Rong. Seeing that Li Rong seemed to be really worried about this matter, he couldn't help but laugh.

Li Rong looked up at him, a little unhappy: "What are you laughing at?"

Pei Wenxuan was interrupted by Li Rong's hands, so he didn't feel nervous anymore. He walked to the carriage with Li Rong arm in arm, and said with a low smile: "Unexpectedly, your Royal Highness will have a day of worry about money."

"Are you laughing at me?"

Li Rong raised her eyebrows, and Pei Wenxuan hurriedly said: "Don't dare. I just think that your Highness looks like this is rare and cute."

"Tsk," Li Rong showed a look of disgust, "Pei Wenxuan, you can say anything if you flatter."

Pei Wenxuan smiled and turned his eyes, looked at the carriage ahead, and said slowly: "In fact, your Royal Highness does not have to worry. Some of the industries that I have put into production have already begun to make profits, and there should be surpluses next year. Your Royal Highness has fertile soil in Qingzhou, and takes over your Highness. After the industry, I asked Gu Chenzi to invite him. Now he should have taught the people how to do farming in Qingzhou."

Gu Chenzi is a well-known "sage of rice" in the previous life. He has studied farming throughout his life, especially on planting straw. In his previous life, it took a few years before he wrote "Nongshu" and was famous in Daxia, but now he has been invited to Qingzhou by Pei Wenxuan in advance.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning," Pei Wenxuan persuaded Li Rong, "wait for next year."

"Okay, I know," Li Rong sighed, "I just said casually, you make a lot of money, I haven't seen it before."

As Li Rong said, she got to the side of the carriage, Pei Wenxuan helped her get into the carriage, then rolled up the curtain and got into the carriage.

Pei Wenxuan was quite happy when he heard Li Rong praise him. After sitting down, he looked up to see Li Rong find a comfortable position and lay lazily in the carriage. He couldn't help laughing: "Since you know, your Highness can rest assured. Over the years, I have helped His Royal Highness take care of the property, and in the future," Pei Wenxuan opened the teacup, with a gentle voice, "The extra money will be used as a dowry for His Royal Highness."

Hearing this, Li Rong "pouch" laughed: "Pei Wenxuan, you are really interesting, even the dowry is ready for me."

"I met you after all," Pei Wenxuan smiled and raised his eyes, looking at Li Rong, who was smiling happily on the side, "I will give you a dowry, lest you can't get married and depend on me forever."

"Shameless," Li Rong poked him with a small fan, "Who wants to rely on you forever?"

Pei Wenxuan smiled without saying a word, bowed his head and poured tea.

Li Rong was spinning the fan next to him, and as soon as he lifted it from the corner of his light, he could see the slender and beautiful fingers turning over the small golden fan, like a strange dance, with a sense of speechless beauty.

His gaze paused on the slender finger, and he didn't know what happened, but he remembered his last life. At that time they dared to get married. Sometimes Li Rong came to Kuishui, and this beautiful hand became useful.

Pei Wenxuan's eyes were dim, he hurriedly lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, let's discuss something with you."

"Ok?"

"I think we should go to bed to sleep."

"Oh?" Li Rong turned to look at him, a little strange, "Don't you find it troublesome?"

There was no point before, what is the point now?

Li Rong was a little puzzled. After a while, she laughed a little: "Pei Wenxuan, do you have an attempt to me?"

"His Royal Highness can't help but value himself too much."

Pei Wenxuan quickly replied: "I have been watching people for decades, what else can I afford?"

When Pei Wenxuan answered this, his heart was beating fast. Li Rong nodded and said slowly: "That's right, you and I are too familiar. If this can be an attempt, it can be seen that you men really are not vegetarian. Bogey, animals are inferior."

Pei Wenxuan: "..."

Listening to Li Rong scolding him, Pei Wenxuan didn't know what was wrong, and he felt a little guilty.

He felt that Li Rong was right. He and Li Rong have such a pure friend relationship now, how can he see these thoughts with just one hand?

Really he was too nasty.

So he nodded his head and echoed: "His Royal Highness is right!"

"Then why do you want to separate the beds?"

Li Rong looked up at him and blinked. Pei Wenxuan was questioned for a while. After holding back for a long time, he finally said: "I wake up too early every morning for fear of quarreling your Highness."

"That's it." Li Rong laughed and waved her hands. "It's okay. You usually don't bother me when you get up. Don't worry too much. It's too troublesome to sleep separately, and someone finds out. If we two When the news of discord spreads, Your Majesty has to wonder how hydrated my supervisory department is. After all, now he trusts me, and most of it depends on your face, thinking that if I marry you, you will marry a chicken, a chicken, a dog, a dog. Up."

Hearing what Li Rong said, Pei Wenxuan didn't dare to say more, nodded, and pulled out the folder from the drawer, and said calmly: "You don't mind, just forget it."

He just took a few more cold showers.

The author has something to say: [Small Theater 1]

Pei Wenxuan: "I will prepare your dowry for you."

Li Rong: "You are so good?! Thank you! You are really my good girlfriend."

Pei Wenxuan: "No thanks, you will bring it back anyway."

Li Rong: "???"

【Small Theater 2】

Li Rong: "You are so familiar with me. If you can do this, you can see that you men are really good at meat and vegetables, but animals are not as good as animals."

Pei Wenxuan: "His Royal Highness is right! I am the beast! I actually have thoughts about you, I am nasty! I am shameless! I am not a good girlfriend!"

【Small Theater 3】

Pei Wenxuan’s volg: "Hello everyone, I’m Pei Wenxuan. Today, the second time I sleep in separate beds, I failed again. The princess can always find out why I and her sleep in separate beds. I think it makes sense. There is no way to refuse. Let me see if I can think of a way, after all, if I sleep like this, I will fall in love with her, I don’t want to refuse, I really only treat her as a brother... …"
