Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2267 Bewitched
Not far from the gate of the palace, Princess Jin stood on the white marble steps in a crimson palace dress, with a graceful figure and a beautiful face. Her clear eyes looked at the figure on the rocking chair under the big locust tree, which was already full of moisture.

Repelled the maids who were following from left to right, moved forward with lotus steps, went to the side of the rocking chair and squatted down, the youthful and graceful body bent into a graceful arc, held the palm of Jin Wang Li Zhi, and stuck it to his smooth and jade-like face Son, whirling gently...

She is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who has not experienced too many ups and downs in life, so how can she have more words and understanding to comfort her husband?

However, seeing this handsome and noble man depressed and depressed in front of him, his heart hurt like a knife.

She can only express her love and concern in such an intimate way...

Feeling the new smoothness and warmth from his palms, Li Zhi then withdrew his gaze from the vast sky, turned his head slightly, and saw his wife's beautiful side face and her water-sheared eyes.

And the tears that flowed slowly...

Gently wiping away the tears hanging on the delicate skin with the belly of his fingers, Li Zhi smiled lightly and said, "You are already a mother, so you should be strong, why are you still so sentimental, tender and delicate?"

The concubine of Jin sucked Qiong's nose, and said softly: "The concubine is not weak! The concubine is willing to be with His Highness, even if the sky collapses and the earth collapses, even if the Yellow River rolls back, we will join hands and never leave!"

Li Zhi swayed her face lovingly, and said softly: "What nonsense are you talking about? The sky is collapsing, the earth is falling, and the river is turning upside down... This king is a prince, a noble man. If you marry me, you will be married to me for the rest of your life." She only enjoys endless glory and wealth, but she is as tragic as if she is about to go into battle to kill the enemy, what a silly girl."

Princess Jin refused, and said: "I am not a stupid girl! I know that His Highness is wronged, and even more aware of His misery. Tomorrow, I will enter the palace. Even if I kneel outside the Tai Chi Hall, I will ask for the grace of my father. Forgive Your Highness for the crime of confinement! These things are clearly caused by Zhao Guogong, why does he want His Highness to suffer such a lonely punishment when he is enjoying himself now? Father is not fair!"

The Wang family in Taiyuan has a long history, and outstanding people have emerged in endlessly in the past dynasties. Even a woman has a kind of high-spirited spirit revealed in a low-key and calm manner.

However, Li Zhi's smile faded, he slowly withdrew his hand, and said, "Father, the Emperor's Candle illuminates thousands of miles, the eternal sage, in fact, you can slander at will? You must never say such words in the future."

"I……"

Concubine Jin's heart trembled, she knew that she had said something wrong, and was about to explain, when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her, she looked back, but a servant came running quickly, with a slightly excited expression, and said loudly: "Your Highness, Duke Zhao is here Visiting, begging to see you outside the door!"

Jin Wang Li Zhi's face was gloomy for a moment, staring at the servant without saying a word.

Concubine Jin raised her eyebrows and said displeasedly: "Does he still think that His Highness is not harmed enough? When he went out to answer, he said that His Highness is unwell and it is inconvenient to receive guests."

In the past, she regarded her eldest grandson Wuji as Huo Zimeng who could assist King Jin to ascend to the throne of God, and looked forward to him eagerly, as the humerus of King Jin.However, after King Jin was imprisoned by His Majesty, Princess Jin immediately poured out all her grievances and resentments on Changsun Wuji.

If it wasn't for Changsun Wuji's unfavorable handling of affairs to implicate King Jin, why would King Jin, who is so beloved by His Majesty, be imprisoned?
Li Zhi glanced at her, and said in a deep voice: "Duke Zhao Guo is the uncle of the king, he is connected by blood, how can he not see him? If it spreads out, there will be another accusation of being unkind and unfilial to the elders."

Princess Jin was submissive and dared not answer.

Only then did Li Zhi look at the servant, and said calmly: "Go out and spread the word, please come to the mansion to meet Mr. Zhao Guo, and then you can go to Zhaoling of Jiuyi Mountain to clean the gods for the queen mother and serve the pines and cypresses."

The servant was taken aback for a moment, then knelt on the ground with a "puff", weeping and begging: "Your Highness, please spare this servant!"

Li Zhi looked firm: "Get out!"

As a domestic servant of the Prince Jin's mansion, he expressed joy and hope for Zhao Guogong's visit. What does this mean?
It shows that these people are not satisfied with the status quo, and even have resentment. Once this kind of thinking takes root, it is very likely that they will do something behind his back that they think is beneficial to him as King Jin.

Push him into the abyss of eternal doom!
Such people don't know how to endure, how can they stay by their side?
The servant didn't dare to say any more, and left with heavy steps.

……

In a pavilion not far from the big locust tree, Li Zhi personally boiled water and made tea to entertain his eldest grandson Wuji and his son.

Outside the pavilion is a pond, where the summer is scorching, the lotus in the pond is lush, and the lotus leaves are connected end to end, covering most of the water surface. There are koi swimming in it, shaking their heads and tails.

The wind blows over the gazebo, and the heat suddenly disappears.

Holding the black pottery teapot, Li Zhi poured clear emerald green tea into two black pottery cups, then pushed the cups in front of Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong respectively, and said with a smile, "Sitting around drinking tea today, I suddenly found that the cups looked like black pottery. This kind of simple tea set can make the true taste of tea more present. In the past, I only knew about admiring luxury, but how could I know this kind of true meaning?"

Chang Sun Chong quickly thanked him.

Changsun Wuji was stunned, raised his hand to pick up the teacup, pondered for a while, and then took a shallow sip.

The tea is boiling hot, but after entering the stomach, there is not much hot feeling. The sweetness left between the lips and teeth makes the whole body feel transparent. It seems that this tea should be drunk in midsummer.

Li Zhi smiled at the eldest Sun Chong: "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, and I thought that I would never meet again in this life, but I don't think that my brother will come to the house today. I am very pleased."

Li Zhi was very surprised that Changsun Chong appeared here.

But if you think about it carefully, you will be relieved. Since the father is unwilling to issue even a document of sea arrest, he naturally has the intention of saving the life of Chang Sun Chong. , probably no one would look for his bad luck, so he had to report his whereabouts to his father, and he would be sentenced to death.

Changsun Chong smiled bitterly: "The person who wears the crime, lingering on his last breath, shouldn't have polluted His Highness's lintel, but we are cousins ​​after all, so we have to take the liberty to come here to ask for something."

Li Zhiqi said: "I don't know what's the problem with my brother? But it's not that this king is unwilling to help. My brother can also see the current situation of this king. I was imprisoned in this mansion by my father's circle. Although everything is available, it is gone after all. Freedom, I'm afraid it's powerless."

I, a imprisoned prince, can sit here and drink tea with your father and son. This is already a great gift from my father, and I have no other powers. How can I help Changsun Chong?
Besides, if even your father and eldest grandson Wuji can't do something in this world, who else can do it except father emperor?

Chang Sun Chong kept silent.

Li Zhi looked at Changsun Wuji to see what kind of medicine the father and son were selling in the gourd.

Changsun Wuji put down his teacup, and asked gently, "How is Your Highness?"

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "Not good."

Changsun Wuji: "..."

How come young people nowadays don't follow the routine, they choke to death when they talk, can they still have a pleasant chat?

Li Zhi sighed, pointed to the overhanging eaves and brackets of pavilions, terraces and pavilions hidden in the garden, and said dejectedly: "Chang'an is too hot, especially in the dog days, it is like a huge stove. Of course there are ice cubes for supply, but where can I get them?" How about the cool breeze and the drizzle? So this king intends to plead with his father and allow him to live in another garden in Lishan Mountain. Anyway, he is confined, so it is not the same where he is confined? But he was given by his father. Refused……"

Changsun Wuji didn't know what to say.

Your Highness, you are imprisoned. Since ancient times, it has been a more serious punishment in the royal family than dethroning the title. It is one step away from being expelled from the jade plate and deposed as a commoner. How big is your heart? Ask the emperor to change your restricted area...

However, Changsun Wuji can naturally hear a thing or two of the meaning in these words.

Not only he could hear it, but Chang Sun Chong could also hear it.

Upon hearing the words, Chang Sun Chong said, "Your Highness is His Majesty's prince, a man of great talent, and a hero of the world. How can he be willing to be confined here for the rest of his life, with low ambition and drifting with the tide?"

Li Zhiqi said: "Of course I don't want to be confined here for the rest of my life!"

Changsun Chong's face was overjoyed just now, when he heard Li Zhi continue: "...so I begged my father to confine him in another place! I don't care about confinement or anything, but the weather is too hot and I can't stand it..."

Chang Sun Chong: "..."

The scene was very embarrassing at one point, and the conversation froze during the chat, how could it not be embarrassing?

Li Zhi also seemed to feel that he was going too far, so he poured tea for the father and son with a smile, and said, "Uncle and elder brother came here today, what is the reason?"

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Zhi's clear and bright eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness really intends to spend time here, and all your ambitions go to waste?"

The words and expressions are full of bewitching.

Li Zhi was silent.

But in your heart, you can't wait to stab your eldest grandson Wuji with a few knives. This king has already been harmed by you, and you still refuse to give up. Could it be that this king must be beheaded by his father before you can give up?
Father has many sons, don't drag me to death alone!
