Chang Anqing

Chapter 239 The Fish Hooked
Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, Li Sui, Princess of Yuling, was personally escorted by King of Yuling Zhao Yi, and took a carriage with only her personal attendants to Yuqing Guanqingxiu.

Endless rumors and speculations were left behind, which became the talk of Chang'an people after dinner.

But all of this fell on Li Sui's ears in Yuqing Temple, and it passed by without a trace like the wind.Every day, I just copy the scriptures, play chess, grow vegetables, and cultivate flowers with the Chen family of Qinghe Dachang Princess.

Although the days are dull, they pass quickly.

On this day, as usual, Li Sui was dressed in plain clothes, sitting with his plain face facing the sky, playing chess alone under a south window. Naturally, the house behind Yuqing Temple was not as luxurious as the Taiwei's Mansion, nor as elegant as the Duke's Mansion. The palace is so atmospheric.

But it can also be regarded as winding paths leading to secluded places, flowers, plants and birds singing. Although the interior decoration is simple, there is a kind of indescribable ease and simplicity, as if throwing away the things outside the body and transcending the worldly lightness.

At this moment, a ray of sunshine came in from the pane with the breeze blowing, and it landed on the black and white chess pieces. Li Sui sat there with his back upright, and his two fingers fell down. Just as she reached out to take another chess piece, she heard There were footsteps outside the house.

"princess."

It was heard that it was the waiter in Chen's house. Under Li Sui's gesture of raising his jaw, Nian Nu stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and then saw a handsome maidservant come in and salute: "Princess Pengcheng is here, this time In the fairy master's room, Chunniang ordered her servants to invite Wangfei to sit down with her."

As soon as these words came out, Li Sui's eyes froze slightly, but Dan raised his head and raised his eyes and said: "Understood, let's go."

When the maid walked away, Li Suishi got up slowly with Yu Nu's support, Nian Nu saw this and said: "Princess, do you want to change clothes and wash?"

"No need."

Just as Niannu blurted out her words, Li Sui blocked her back. She looked down at the clothes she was wearing, which was extremely quiet, and looked at her haggard appearance in the mirror. He smiled perceptually, and said in a low voice: "This is the best."

"Let's go."

After finishing speaking, Li Sui took Nian Nu and Yu Nu to the courtyard where the Chen family was.

Seeing outside the courtyard, Princess Pengcheng's maidservants saluted Li Sui, Li Sui lightly entered the room, and when he reached the last soft curtain, he heard Princess Qinghe and Princess Pengcheng coming from inside. conversation.

"This child said that nothing happened, but I could see the sadness in my heart. Although our mother and daughter have never been together every day, but she was conceived by me in October, and she is connected with blood. How can I not understand?" her suffering."

At this moment, Chen Shi, who was wearing a plain blue Taoist uniform, looked worried, and her pupils focused on the difficulty of being a mother. She only looked at Peng Cheng who was sitting opposite her and said: "The Queen is her elder sister who grew up. Treating the queen as my own sister—"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but said desolately and sadly: "Prince Fang died young, and the queen's departure hurt Ah Man's heart. These days, she seems to be doing this and that with me without incident, but her mind is never Not here, I can't sleep well at night, seeing her getting thinner and thinner, but I, a mother, can't do anything."

Seeing Chen's heartbroken and helpless appearance, Peng Cheng stretched out his hand, put it on the back of Chen's hand, and said warmly: "The dead are dead, and the living must live well. Ah Man is smart, and he will definitely understand this truth. Aunt, don't worry too much, worrying will ruin your own body instead."

While speaking, Chen raised her eyes to meet Peng Cheng's comforting smile, and then nodded sadly.

"Master Immortal, Eldest Princess, Wangfei is here."

When the two people in the room talked about something else, the maid waiting outside made a sound. Hearing Chen's call, Li Suilue straightened his clothes and walked in.

Seeing Li Sui who entered, Peng Cheng was also a little surprised. He thought the rumors in the market were true or false, but he never thought that Li Sui in front of him was so thin that he almost collapsed when the wind blew. , the face without makeup also seemed to lack the former complexion and anger, and the haggard look between the brows seemed to make her see a bit of inexplicable despair.

Where is there still a little bit of the free and easy, bright and compelling appearance in the past?
"Aniang, the eldest princess."

Peng Cheng was not surprised when he heard Li Sui call himself that. He just stood up and frowned, and he stepped forward to hold Li Sui's cold hand in distress and said with concern: "Why have I lost so much weight? If my aunt told me, I never did." Come to think of it, my sister is—"

Speaking of this, Peng Cheng silenced his words with a sigh, looked at the increasingly sad Chen Shi, and then took Li Sui's hand in relief and sat on the couch together.

"Originally after my sister's wedding, after the Shangsi Festival, I was going back to Turkic, but I didn't expect Mingde Holy Queen to leave so suddenly."

While speaking, Peng Cheng saw the flash of pain in Li Sui's eyes, the pain almost made her feel like a knife was twisting her heart.

It can be seen that the inseparable sisterhood between Li Sui and Queen Yang couldn't be more real.

"For the sake of the queen's peace, the world has seen my sister's hard work these days. Presumably, the queen under the nine springs has also seen it."

Seeing Li Sui lowering his eyes silently, the eyes were faintly filled with depression and depression like a spring under the ice.Peng Cheng continued: "The Empress loved my younger sister the most during her lifetime, and it was for her that you should cherish your body so that my aunt can feel more at ease."

Hearing Pengcheng's words, Li Sui's hands tightened slightly, and it took a long time to hold back his tears and raised his head to look at Chen Shi with wet eyes, and tried his best to extend his hand with a smile: "What the eldest princess said is true, don't worry, Auntie, Aman is fine."

After all, Li Sui felt that Chen Shi was holding his hand tightly, so he stepped forward and sat beside Chen Shi, wrapping his hands around Chen Shi, and leaning on Chen Shi's shoulders just like when he was a child, as if absorbing warmth and love. Consolation child.

After receiving Chen's grateful gaze, Peng Cheng smiled and nodded lightly, and didn't say any more.

When the mood of the mother and daughter in the house calmed down, Peng Cheng talked with them all morning, had lunch together, and called King Qi again at noon, and spent a rare time of warmth before preparing to leave.

"I'm going back to Turkic in a few days, and today I'm here to say goodbye to my aunt and see Ah Man and Erlang."

Standing on the porch outside the house, Peng Cheng held Chen Shi's hand reluctantly and said, "I'm going to say goodbye. I don't know when I can meet my aunt and sister. I hope you all take care of yourself."

Hearing the farewell words, Chen choked up and nodded and said: "You too, you are far away in a foreign country, you must put yourself first, don't wrong yourself."

Seeing the scene of reluctantly saying goodbye in front of him, Li Sui didn't make a sound to disturb, until Pengcheng was about to leave, he said: "Aniang, I'm going to see off the eldest princess."

After hearing Li Sui's words, Mrs. Chen nodded, and Li Sui walked out of the courtyard side by side with Peng Cheng.

"Seeing my younger sister, I couldn't help but think, if I could also be like a queen, with a younger sister like you, Ah Man, who accompanied me since I was a child, the time outside the Great Wall might not be so lonely."

Hearing Pengcheng's sudden emotion, Li Sui raised his eyes, looked at her lost face, and then slowly said: "The eldest princess has a cousin, and she is never alone."

After finishing speaking, Peng Cheng paused, looked sideways at Li Sui who was comforting her, and then smiled and said: "Yes, my sister is right."

After all, we have reached the arched door with hanging flowers, Pengcheng took Li Sui's hand, and said warmly and intimately: "At any time, Shiro and I have an aunt, you, uncle, and Erlang, we are always a family .”

Seeing Pengcheng's back gradually going away, Niannu said: "Princess."

Li Sui moved slightly when he heard the words, squeezed his right hand lightly and said, "Go in."

After returning to his own room, Li Sui silently stretched out his right hand and spread out his palm. Inside was a rolled up note.

When she flipped it open with her fingertips and saw the clear writing inside, her eyebrows arched as expected.

"Mingde's death is different. If you are willing to listen to it, I will see you at the Huji Winery in Pingkangfang in Xushi the next day."
