Chang Anqing

Chapter 333

On the day of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, according to the custom, a palace banquet will be held in the palace, and the emperor will entertain the royal family, nobles and court officials above the third rank.Naturally, today's banquet was held in Hua'e Xianghui Tower, which overlooks the entire Chang'an City, which is separated from the Minmin Square by a wall.

Summoned by Empress Li, Li Sui changed into his banquet attire early in the morning. Although he was still dressed in a simple and elegant way, the patterns on his dress were complicated, making him more dignified and noble, like a snow lotus on the top of a snow-capped mountain, with Frosty beauty.

After being separated from Zhao Yi at the gate of the inner palace, Li Sui headed towards the Lizheng Hall. When he reached the corridor in front of the hall, he saw a familiar figure from the opposite side.

"princess."

Seeing Jiang Lihua who was saluting to him, Li Suiqian nodded, then stretched out his hand to support him and said, "Jieyu, please get up."

Following Li Sui's strength, Jiang Lihua slowly got up.

Li Sui looked in front of him with delicate makeup, elegant and refined dress, Jiang Lihua who looked like a frosty beauty with a frown and a smile, she didn't look like she was bullied before.

The past seems to have become the past, and it will go away with the wind with the emperor and courtiers.

"Princess please."

Seeing Jiang Lihua retreating to the side first, Li Sui did not shirk, and entered the Lizheng Hall first.

"Princess Yuling arrives—"

With a notification, Li Sui walked in with his head held high after Nian Nu and Yu Nu took off the thick cloak for her.

As soon as you enter, you will be surrounded by Yingyingyanyan's makeup and beauties, but your aunt Li sits alone in a high position, and it is difficult to hide her easy-going in the crowd. Seeing Li Sui's attire at this moment, the smiling Empress Li has changed slightly, but those changes It is only hidden in the details of the corners of the eyes and eyebrows, and is not revealed to others.

Once the dynasty is over, everyone forgets the past, but Ah Man still remembers Yu Niang, and is still obsessed with guarding the three-year funeral for her.

Empress Li's heart was touched for a moment by the sisterhood that was connected by blood and kept parting. She was half guilty, half moved, and felt as if her heart was overwhelmed and uncomfortable.

After the ceremony, Li Sui was arranged to sit next to the princess. Although the two talked and laughed as usual, Li Sui could always see a bit of melancholy in Baoying's eyes.

Because the palace banquet was still early, everyone sat down and had a conversation, and the wives retreated first under the leadership of Concubine Cui De, and Li Sui and Baoying accompanied Empress Li for lunch, and they left after talking.

Until he walked out of the Lizheng Palace and came to the garden, walking on the corridor and seeing Baoying beside him looking thoughtfully at the koi in the pond outside the corridor, his mind seemed to have drifted far away.

Li Suishi just gave Niannu and the others a look, until the following palace people retreated to a distance, Li Suicai said: "I'm worried today, it's because of Erlang."

Hearing Li Sui's question, Baoying looked up in surprise, but saw Li Sui smiled easily and said, "Your thoughts are written in your eyes, but you can't hide them from me."

After finishing speaking, Li Sui pulled Baoying to sit on the railing, and then took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Baoying. Baoying looked at Li Sui without knowing why, and when he unfolded the paper, his pupils trembled. Even his face changed greatly.

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. Now Erlang is sitting in the most prestigious and most unstable seat. I don't know how many people stare at him and make mistakes."

Seeing the serious and nervous face of the person in front of him, Li Sui stretched out his hand and put it on the back of Baoying's hand, comforting him but said in a solemn and low voice: "Except for the fact that these classics were told in front of the holy car by those who cared about them, saying that they were allusive, the right servant a few years ago She also mentioned that His Majesty's personal expedition, Erlang was indecisive when he was in Chang'an, he followed his aunt's advice, and said that my aunt and I were suspected of interfering in the government and being good at state affairs."

Hearing this, Baoying was extremely shocked, and at the same time, she understood why His Majesty suddenly visited the East Palace a few days ago. In front of everyone, His Majesty only said that the Lord ruled the world with virtue and deeds, but the crown prince, as the heir, was not doing his job properly, indulging in poetry and writing. .

For these reprimands, she watched Erlang shut himself up in the palace for a whole night, but nothing could comfort her.She can only feel sad for him, and worry about him. She knows that he wants to revise this canon in order to fulfill his dream and accomplish a great cause, so that His Majesty, the father who has never pretended to him, will see him. arrive.

But in the end, what he got in return was public censure.

Baoying's eyes couldn't bear it, and Li Sui comforted her before she could speak between her lips.

"The position of crown prince is not easy, this time you should try to comfort Erlang. In the future, in front of Shengjia, you have to be more cautious for the people and the king. You should check the matter of the classics carefully. I'm afraid your East Palace is not clean, just right Take advantage of this to clear it out, so as not to be used by others in the future."

Seeing Baoying nodded silently, Li Sui held her hand tightly again and said, "Now that Erlang is one with you, no matter how difficult this road is, as long as the husband and wife are of the same heart, it will be easier."

When it was time for the palace banquet at night, Li Sui looked at Zhao Yi, who was being dragged to drink, when he saw the exchange of wine and wine on the court, and then quietly retreated, leaning on the railing to look into the distance.

Looking at the lights of thousands of families outside the Huae Building and the everlasting bright lanterns in Chang'an City, Li Sui's thoughts flew far away to the Lantern Festival when he was with his elder sister last year.

"princess."

Hearing Nian Nu's voice from beside him, and seeing her hesitant to speak eyes, Li Sui leisurely walked to a distance, and then heard Nian Nu's voice following him.

"It was just now that Huirong sent word that the Crown Princess asked the Crown Prince, and His Highness said that the content of "Bamboo Book Chronicles" did exist in the first draft. Later, when the Crown Prince reviewed it, he felt that the content was from unofficial history and should not be included in such a grand ceremony. , then crossed it out, but somehow it appeared in front of His Majesty."

Hearing Nian Nu's words, Li Sui nodded, blowing the night wind outside the corridor, watching the dim lights of a city, how could he not know the twists and turns.

Erlang's hard work, just like this, under the secretiveness of those caring people, turned him into a rebellious, sarcastic and unfilial son.

Father and son of the Tian family, said to be father and son, is more difficult and more difficult than monarchs and ministers.

It's night, the willow twigs on the moon.

In a courtyard in Dongcheng, the cold wind was blowing outside the corridor, but the house was quiet and peaceful.

"The humble concubine thanked the King of Shu for his great kindness."

Looking at the weak woman prostrate at the feet in front of him, Yang Zhao, King of Shu, stretched out his hand with a sad face, and said quite unbearably: "Sister Jiu Ge, you don't have to do this, you used to take care of me in the mansion before, but I never thought of you After suffering all those hardships, I can only blame my soft-spokenness and not being able to follow the Queen's Highness's wishes, so I can only bring you back to Chang'an now."

Hearing these familiar words, seeing the guilt in Yang Zhao's eyes, and recalling her homeless and humiliated past, everything was like daggers piercing into her heart fiercely, blood overflowing, the pain was so painful that People suffocate.

"Sister, don't worry about living here. Although your body has recovered now, you still need to continue to take care of it."

Looking at Yang Zhao who broke himself out of the sea of ​​suffering, thinking that he had worked so hard to heal all his internal diseases so that he could return to Chang'an with his last breath. At this moment, apart from the endless hatred in Jiu Ge's heart, the only thing he could do was to be extremely grateful to him. .

Because only he is really treated as a person.

Rather than a plaything that is not as good as a beast.
