The Grand Princess

Chapter 80: Negotiate

When this thought came up, Pei Wenxuan calmed down instead.

This is a big thing. If he easily said this sentence at this time, it would be too serious. Even if he said it, Li Rong would not take it seriously.

More importantly, in this case, he wanted to tell Li Rong at the best time, so that Li Rong would be happy and remember it for a lifetime.

Whether Li Rong accepts it or not, at least she will keep that moment, Pei Wenxuan, forever in mind.

Pei Wenxuan wondered how to say this. When Li Rong saw him holding her without speaking, she raised her hand and patted his hand, and said peacefully: "Okay, go to sleep, hold it like this, don't your hands hurt? ?"

"It hurts," Pei Wenxuan leaned his head on Li Rong's back and said in a low voice, "It won't hurt if you hold your highness."

"Nonsense." Li Rong sneered, put him on her hand and gently pushed away, closed her eyes, and said, "Go to sleep."

The two closed their eyes, and Li Rong took a moment to relax, and suddenly remembered: "In some time, I plan to go to Beijing, do you want to go?"

Listening to Li Rong's words, Pei Wenxuan had a bit of spirit: "Out of Beijing?"

"Well," Li Rong closed her eyes, "find a place to stroll around, so let's go play."

Hearing Li Rong's words, Pei Wenxuan had some plans in his heart, and pondered: "Have you decided where to go?"

"Wait for me to see."

Li Rong thought, always looking for a place that is easy to ambush.

The two went to sleep with different thoughts. Before the next day, Pei Wenxuan woke up early. Li Rong felt that there was a rustling sound next to him, thinking that Pei Wenxuan had started, and then she realized that there was a party. The kerchief was gently placed on her eyes, and then the light came on. After a while, Pei Wenxuan walked back, shook her gently, and whispered: "Your Highness, get up."

In the past, Pei Wenxuan would not call her. He usually just let her fall asleep, so he changed her clothes and called her when he got out of bed.

Li Rong was a little puzzled. She opened her eyes and saw Pei Wenxuan's bandaged hand. Only then did she remember that Pei Wenxuan's hand was injured and it was a bit difficult to support her with one hand.

Li Rong opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Pei Wenxuanhou saying on the side: "Your Highness, you sit up first."

"Maybe something."

Li Rong shook his head and crawled out of the bed. Pei Wenxuan hurriedly put the clothes on her. Li Rong pulled the clothes on her own, and then said, "I just wear them myself."

With that said, Li Rong put on her clothes. She turned her head and looked at Pei Wenxuan, who was still wearing a single shirt: "Aren't you cold?"

"I'll wear it right away."

Pei Wenxuan smiled and went to pick up the clothes by herself. Li Rong saw that he was inconvenient with one hand. She yawned and walked to the bed, picked up his clothes, and put them on him: "Let me help you."

Pei Wenxuan was stunned, but Li Rong didn't notice anything. She asked Pei Wenxuan to put the gloves into her clothes, and raised her hand to button the inner button for Pei Wenxuan.

She had never done this before, so she looked a little clumsy, and stood in front of him with her head down, like a child who had just learned to do things.

Looking at Li Rong like this, Pei Wenxuan had an unspeakable emotion.

The most attractive person is not that the person candidly talk about countless coquettishness, but she is like a little girl, lowering her head in front of you, revealing her slender and beautiful jade neck, learning to buckle a button for you, raising her hand from behind Looping around, it seems to hug you, but it seems that there is no, the fingertips gently slid across the waist, and mixed up, raising his hand in front of him, and tying the belt tightly.

Pei Wenxuan looked at the girl in front of him, tried to restrain all his impulses, and kept her face as gentle as usual, until Li Rong raised his hand to tidy up his clothes, he hurriedly held her, he opened his mouth. It was a bit dumb: "His Royal Highness, no need."

Li Rong was still a little sleepy and didn't notice it. She raised her head and looked at him, only saying: "Why is your voice dumb, but is it cold?"

"It might be something." Pei Wenxuan adjusted his voice hurriedly to cover up the strangeness. Li Rong raised his hand and touched his forehead, and said, "You are injured now. If you have a fever, it will be terrible. Take a good rest and don't worry about other things. Everything is mine."

"His Royal Highness..." Pei Wenxuan couldn't laugh or cry, "Why are you always stealing my words?"

Li Rong smiled and whispered softly: "If you can't sleep, you can read a book. I asked me to do it for you. You can rest first."

With that, Li Rong called someone in and waited for the two to wash, and then she put on her clothes and went to court. Pei Wenxuan escorted her out of the gate all the way. He wanted to go to court and was forcibly retained by Li Rong. , People stopped him in the room.

After Li Rong came to court, he reported the assassination of Pei Wenxuan, and Li Ming asked to conduct a strict investigation, and Li Rong took the matter by the way. When he returned to the Supervisory Department, when he arrived at the door, he found that someone had spilled dung on the front of the Supervisory Department. Li Rong was angrily smiled. He turned to look at Su Ronghua who was following her and pointed to him: "Master Su, this Don't you check the matter?"

Su Ronghua smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness, this kind of thing seems to be caused by some village wives and people, and it can't be done after finding out."

"Why can't it be?" Li Rong said coldly, "If you want to be serious, I can't do anything, tomorrow I will have someone splash it on your Su Mansion!"

Su Ronghua's complexion became stiff. He seemed to see the scene of people splashing dung at the entrance of the Su family. He immediately changed his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will deal with it.

Li Rong was too lazy to say anything, and walked in with Shangguanya, Shangguanya whispered: "Why does your Highness let him take care of this?"

"Why don't you care?"

Li Rong raised her eyebrows, and Shangguanya immediately echoed: "Master Su is indeed suitable."

The two said this and entered the Supervision Department. Li Rong whispered: "Do you have a clue about the assassination yesterday?"

"Not yet."

"Then go and see where the suburbs are suitable for ambushes," Li Rong thought. "If we can't find clues in seven days, we have to take the initiative and take care of everything before the new year."

Li Rong laughed: "It's better for me to have a year."

"His Royal Highness is right."

When Shangguanya objected, she tried her best to oppose it, and if she agreed, she would get things done. When Li Rong heard her answer, she felt relieved, and led the people to jail, to sort out all the confessions and evidence.

Now all the evidence is the same, only the final conviction is left, the conviction is settled, the paper is sent to the top, and the emperor will review it and pick it up. There are not too many problems, so it is settled.

The more this happened, the more things would happen. In the morning, the inspector's door was spilled with dung, and in the evening someone brought silver to the door of the princess mansion.

Li Rong made people stop directly outside and stepped back to the princess's mansion. After seven days in a row, things were almost done, and Shangguanya almost found out some clues.

"It's a killer from Chen Guang's family who has spent so much time buying."

Shangguanya followed Li Rong out of the cell. Li Rong wiped her hands with her kerchief and listened to Shangguanya said: "Chen Guang has a high status in the Chen family and is the only son of Mrs. Chen. If he dies, the Chen family will be completely destroyed. There should be many big clans behind the Chen family, but now your Highness offends too many people, and it is not clear who is secretly supporting the Chen family."

"Is there any evidence?"

Li Rong asked in a low voice, Shangguanya shook her head: "No, they did it very quickly. This conclusion is only inferred and there is no evidence."

"Have Chen Guang been convicted?"

"It's settled," Shangguan Ya whispered, "According to your Royal Highness's instructions, I was convicted by beheading."

Li Rong responded, she thought for a while, and whispered, "Can you find a suitable location for ambushes in the suburbs?"

"Found it," Shangguanya and Li Rong walked to the lobby. She took a map, pointed to a location and said: "Here, Butterfly Gorge. There are cliffs on both sides of this place. At this location, we can help your Highness in advance. Find a place suitable for concealment. As long as your Highness leads people over and hides in a safe place, we can catch turtles in the urn."

Li Rong nodded and replied: "Then fix it here. Five days from now," Li Rong raised her eyes, "After five days I will take Pei Wenxuan out on an outing. If they want to start, this time is perfect."

"His Royal Highness is going to bring a consort?" Shangguanya was a little strange, "What do you take him for?"

"I want to go out by myself, it would be too deliberate, they are afraid they will be vigilant," Li Rong thought, "Take Pei Wenxuan out, it is a cover."

"Then don't you tell him?"

"Tell him, will he let me go?"

Li Rong asked directly, and the Shangguan Yapao paused. After a while, she sighed and said: "Your Highness, your temperament, how blessed you are."

Li Rong didn't bother to pay attention to her, and only said: "Since they dare to make a move, I am afraid they will make complete preparations. You have to make a final plan for the ambush in the Butterfly Gorge. Is there water in it?"

"Yes," Shangguan Yaying said, "there was originally a stream. I have seen it. The water is not turbulent. There are many caves next to it. The water connects to the small cave next to it. If your Highness meets an unavoidable situation, you can jump in. In the water."

"You prepare some gunpowder." Li Rong thought. "If you encounter the worst case, you will jump into the water and light the fuse. But if you get to this point," Li Rong raised his head and sneered. "Think about how to punish yourself."

"Don't worry," Shangguan Ya said immediately, "I must make arrangements."

After Shangguanya and Li Rong finished talking, they decided on the plan. The two people went their separate ways and went home.

When Li Rong returned to the princess's mansion, she saw Pei Wenxuan reading a book. She walked behind Pei Wenxuan and after looking for a while, she found that he was reading some folk scripts.

"Really it's too idle at home," Li Rong laughed, took the notebook from his hand, turned his name, and looked up at him, "Master Pei also saw this kind of thing."

Pei Wenxuan got up with Li Rong, and the two of them walked to the dining room skillfully. Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong, and tentatively said: "Weichen has nothing to do, so please take a look at it, but after a while, I found that there are many interesting things in it. , The Weichen couldn't understand it."

"Oh?" Li Rong used to read a lot of textbooks. Hearing that Pei Wenxuan was actually interested in such things, he couldn't help but say, "For example?"

"I just saw that the scholar confessed to his favorite woman. Weichen thought. He liked things that were only a word, but the scholar kept preparing. Why?"

When Li Rong heard Pei Wenxuan's question, she couldn't help but laughed: "Pei Wenxuan, I didn't expect you to be such a boring person."

"Weichen doesn't understand," Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong entered the dining room together, sat down in their seats, and said in a humble and polite manner, "His Royal Highness, please help me out."

"Like is indeed a word, but if you say that if a man says this to a woman, what is he actually going to do?"

Pei Wenxuan was puzzled, and Li Rong laughed: "What he wants to do is to determine a relationship. From this moment on, they belong to each other. If there is no ceremony for such an important matter, wouldn't it be that girl? Not being taken seriously?"

When Pei Wenxuan listened, he showed a dazed expression: "His Royal Highness said it is very true, and the minister is initiating."

Li Rong sighed, "You just haven't chased a girl, and you have never told people you like it seriously, so you don't understand it."

With that said, Li Rong habitually served the soup. After Pei Wenxuan's hand was injured recently, Li Rong fed him the soup. Pei Wenxuan watched Li Rong blowing the soup, pursing his lips to cover the smile in his eyes, as if curiously said: " I don’t understand. Seeing that your Highness knows so well, I should have encountered many scenes like this, right?"

Li Rong's movements became stiff. After a while, she put the bowl aside, turned her head and said, "Come on and serve the soup."

Seeing Li Rong's anger, Pei Wenxuan hurriedly said: "I just asked casually, Your Highness, I think a woman like you is born with a dignified geese, a clever person, a dignified and noble background, and a man who likes your Highness will not care about it. Count, so I have this question."

"Pei Wenxuan, I found that you have always had the ability to open which pot and not to mention which pot," Li Rong looked at him and sneered, "I don't have one, do you have one?"

"I……"

Pei Wenxuan was so stunned by Li Rong that he subconsciously wanted to refute it. After all, he was such an excellent man who lived his entire life, so it was reasonable for several girls to confess.

However, when he spoke, he realized that he didn't either.

Before getting married, during the time in Luzhou, some girls would throw flowers to him, but it was not a confession.

Later in Huajing, the girls in Huajing didn’t like him at first, and soon he became Li Rong’s horseman. Li Rong has been in the clouds for almost all his life, and has a powerful personality. This Huajing girl is afraid of death. It is far away from him when they meet.

So the rebuttal was silenced, and Li Rong saw that Pei Wenxuan was embarrassed, and she laughed: "So, Master Pei has never said that he likes you in his life?"

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan smiled to cover up his embarrassment; "Isn't your Highness the same?"

"I'm not the same as Master Pei," Li Rong blinked, "I like what many people have told me."

"Who?!"

Pei Wenxuan asked subconsciously, and his mind quickly turned.

Su Rongqing may count as one.

But Li Rong said a lot?

Li Rong was in the palace before getting married, and didn't have much contact with foreign men, probably not many. Later in the court, she was married, and anyone dared to seduce her without him? !

Pei Wenxuan's face turned ugly for a while. Li Rong observed and smiled at him. Pei Wenxuan quickly asked a few of the names of Li Rong who had walked close to the court. Li Rong looked at him and asked more and more. Laughing, she finally patted Pei Wenxuan's hand with her fan: "Don't guess. They are all infamous characters. Feeling that you look good, so she recommends herself a pillow seat and wants a clear road."

"Aren't they afraid of death?"

Pei Wenxuan was a little shocked, Li Rong thought for a while: "Maybe my style is not good?"

After all, compared with ordinary women, she did not seem reserved enough in the outside world at that time.

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan felt a little turmoil in his heart.

He didn't even know that it turned out that men in this world could be so spineless and so courageous. In order to seek a clear road, he was not afraid that he would dare to recommend himself a pillow seat.

He looked down on these men too much, he didn't take precautions in his last life, so he should be more vigilant in this life.

Pei Wenxuan stabilized the many thoughts that had grown in his mind, and then remembered his original purpose, and changed the topic: "Then how did they talk to your Highness?"

"Just... just say it casually." Li Rong also didn't seem to feel very decent, so she didn't want to say more, and asked, "Why do you always ask about this?"

Pei Wenxuan smiled: "I just read the scholar in the textbook and said I like it, and I have to choose a special place. I think it is too grand. I want to ask Your Highness, are other people really like this scholar?"

"Look at whether you have a heart or not."

Li Rong saw that Pei Wenxuan seemed to be really asking questions instead of meaning, so he casually said: "Those who have the heart can do better than the books. People who are unintentional may not even say a word of liking."

Pei Wenxuan: "..."

He always felt that Li Rong was suggesting something, but when he looked at Li Rong's expression, he felt that he was thinking too much, and he continued: "His Royal Highness feels, how can he be thoughtful?"

"If you are interested in this kind of thing, just go to the heart, do I still need to think?"

Li Rong was a little strange, and Pei Wenxuan continued, "What do you want to do?"

"At least you know what the other party likes, what you don't like, and what you want most," Li Rong thought, and said slowly, "At this point, you can actually learn from Su Rongqing."

Hearing this name, Pei Wenxuan smiled, Li Rong said it, and felt that this was wrong. She looked at Pei Wenxuan and saw that Pei Wenxuan's smile remained unchanged. She felt a little guilty. Pei Wenxuan said gently: "His Royal Highness, what did you say?"

"I... I don't mean you are inferior to Su Rongqing."

Li Rong explained hurriedly, Pei Wenxuan laughed: "His Royal Highness, am I such a stingy person?"

Really.

Li Rong didn't dare to say this, but she saw that Pei Wenxuan's expression was okay. When she wanted to come, Pei Wenxuan had already let go of her grievances with Su Rongqing and wanted to open it, so she continued: "Do you remember that every winter, Princess There are peonies in the house?"

"Yeah, remember." Pei Wenxuan nodded, and Li Rong laughed, with a little nostalgia in her eyes, "Su Rongqing knows that I like peonies and don't like plum flowers, so every year, he will specially cultivate peonies in the greenhouse. The peonies in the princess's mansion were all raised by him."

"At that time, I thought, this is probably the heart."

Pei Wenxuan listened, but his face was still. He took the tea and took a sip. Li Rong raised his eyes, a little disturbed: "Why don't you speak?"

"Weichen is just a little bit emotional. I didn't expect Master Su to be so kind to His Highness at that time."

Li Rong always felt that when Pei Wenxuan said this, the atmosphere was very weird. She reluctantly nodded and said, "Indeed."

"But I remember that your Royal Highness's favorite is actually the peony."

Li Rong was stunned for a moment. After a while, she laughed: "This should also let you know."

"Peony is not expensive enough," Li Rong said slowly, "and I have been taught since I was a little mother, don't let people easily know what you like, even a flower."

Pei Wenxuan listened to Li Rong's words. After a while, he nodded and said: "Weichen understands."

"Oh, by the way, you can make time in a few days."

As Li Rong said, she suddenly remembered, and said to Pei Wen: "I want to take you to the Butterfly Gorge to take a look. I heard that the scenery there is beautiful and beautiful."

Hearing these words, Pei Wenxuan laughed: "It is the fortune of the minister to swim with His Highness."

As he said, the Butterfly Gap was already outlined in his mind.

It is indeed a beautiful place, with gurgling streams and mixed banks and hills. It is a perfect place to set up a place of love.

While Li Rong drank the tea, she also sketched the look of Butterfly Gorge in her mind.

Surrounded by mountains on both sides, with vigorous vegetation, setting up an ambush there couldn't be more suitable.
