Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 230
On April 23rd of the second year of Xianheng, Emperor Gaozong issued an edict to select a daughter for the crown prince, so as to establish the crown prince's concubine. As soon as the rumors spread between the court and the public, the Ministry of Rites immediately played the table, saying that Pei Lingling, the daughter of Zuo Jinwuwei General Pei Judao, was extremely expensive and had the same character as the crown prince. It was quite a match, and they were a perfect couple. The emperor heard about it, and called Pei's daughter to see her. Seeing that she was gentle and generous, with a very good appearance, she was overjoyed, so it was agreed to call the prince to Dongdu immediately for the wedding ceremony, and ordered Lu Wang Lixian accompanied him, and Zhang Wenguan, the servant of Huangmen, stayed behind for the capital.The prince's first book said to him: "The severe drought in Guanzhong is just over, and a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity. I can't bear to leave for a while, so I ask for a postponement of the marriage."The emperor praised him, but he insisted that the prince could not refuse. He could only lead the officials in Beijing to set off and rush to the eastern capital.

Li Xian has participated in the matter of Jiaoying many times in this life, but when it comes to presiding over the overall situation, it is the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair. I have done it so many times, and I am very familiar with it, and I can easily handle it a few times, and then arrange things to be watertight, and a plan is sent to the Ministry of Rites. Even the most picky officials can't find any Flaws come, now everything is ready, just waiting for the arrival of the prince.

Li Xian can handle the suburban welcome matters at his own pace, and let the officials below take care of the specific matters. As for the various preparations in the dark, Lin Hu and others are also busy to fiddle with them, but there is one thing. No one can do it for you, that is meeting lovers, but this is what gave Li Xian a headache - it has been five days since he returned to Luoyang, and he sent someone to Zhao Qiong to send a few letters , They were all like mud cows falling into the sea, without even a sound, let alone a date, and even a few words of reply letter disappeared. When such a strange thing happened, Li Xian was very puzzled. He couldn't figure out what it was What's going on.

Has the beauty changed her mind?impossible!Even if the sun rises from the west, it is absolutely impossible for Zhao Qiong to move on. Li Xian still has this confidence. In this way, there are only two possibilities left—the beauty is angry, and there are eight out of ten. Nine has something to do with the arrival of Princess Mingyue, or else, he is dissatisfied with the long-awaited wedding date. Regardless of the possibility, Li Xian has only one choice, to put out the fire, put out the fire quickly!
A fire in the backyard is no small matter. Although there is no danger of kneeling on the washboard, and it is unlikely to "fall down the grape rack", the "Cold War" is obviously not a fun thing. The fire must be extinguished quickly. The question is how to destroy it is a very particular thing, directly to the Zhao Mansion?Well, that's not called putting out the fire, but adding fuel to the fire. Leaving aside the risk of attracting criticism and the like, with Zhao Qiong's petty temper, the custodial committee decided that Li Xian was trying to suppress people with power. No way, the grape trellis is about to fall down. Obviously, this road is blocked. In this case, Li Xian has only one way to go——If you don’t come, let’s go. Forget it, so, just as night fell, Comrade Li Xian changed his mind and changed into civilian clothes. He sneaked out of the palace without anyone with him, and went to Zhao's residence with a clear goal... It was completely dark, a waning moon slanted in the sky, sprinkled the cold moonlight on the world, amidst the mottled shadows of the trees, the courtyard was desolate, just like Zhao Qiong's heart at the moment, complicated thoughts entangled in one mind It was a mess, with inexplicable sadness lingering in my heart, and I stood up like a statue in front of the window in a daze.

Why?Why?One hundred thousand reasons are intertwined and entangled in Zhao Qiong's heart, like a rope that twists her heart so painfully, even though she knows she shouldn't blame Li Xian for empathy, after all, it is impossible for a prince to have only one concubine. She doesn't seem to have the position to blame, even if they agree with each other, but after all, they haven't been engaged yet, and they have no name, so it's hard to blame others, but the truth is one thing, but the feelings are another. Joan was unable, and powerless, to dispel the dark cloud in her heart. Thinking of the depths of love, tears flowed down her flawless white jade face unknowingly, wanton and turbulent.

"Squeak."

The door of the wing room slammed softly, and Zijuan, a little girl in a green skirt, walked in from outside the door, looked at Zhao Qiong's back with a sad face, sighed slightly, blew out the lantern in her left hand, and put it aside. He stood by the wall, then walked slowly to a table, put a delicate food box in his right hand on the table, opened the box quickly with his hands and feet, and arranged three side dishes and a bowl of porridge in order. Then he walked lightly behind Zhao Qiong, bit his red lips, and called softly: "Miss, you can use some porridge, the servant specially asked someone to make some cold cucumbers for you, which are still crispy , you can use as much as you want."

"Leave it alone."

Zhao Qiong didn't look back, but gave a faint order, her voice was hoarse and obviously trembling.

"Miss, you... Huh, it's all to blame for that coquettish fox, shameless and shameless, Your Highness is really serious, everyone will bring back..." Zijuan has spent a lot of time in order to coax Zhao Qiong into a meal these days. It took a lot of effort, nothing else, just today's dinner has been heated twice, and this time when Zhao Qiong said so, he immediately became anxious. Without any barriers, he dared to speak out.

"Zijuan!" Zhao Qiong was annoyed, she really didn't want to hear about Zijuan's mention of Princess Mingyue, so she couldn't help but turned her head and scolded displeasedly, but when she saw Zijuan's grievance She had a small face, but her heart softened again, and she couldn't bear to speak out to blame again, so she bit her lip, sighed and said, "Go and get the pot girl red."

"Miss……"

As soon as she heard that her own lady, who never liked drinking, wanted to drink, Zijuan was startled, her eyes widened, and she opened her mouth to try to persuade her.

"Go ahead, this porridge will be used together later."

Before Zicuckoo finished speaking, Zhao Qiong gave an order in an unquestionable tone.

"Ah, yes."

Zijuan smacked his lips, seeing Zhao Qiong's unhappy face, he didn't dare to say any more, he could only reluctantly agree, lifted the lantern by the wall, and lit it with the oil lamp on the table After that, he pushed the door open and walked out in the dark.

"Ugh……"

Looking at the small figure of Zijuan going away, Zhao Qiong stood silently for a long time, then shook his head, sighed, turned and looked out the window again, but just as he turned around, he froze immediately, and immediately, his whole body was like It was shaking like an electric shock, just because a tall figure stood outside the window at some point, besides Li Xian, who else was there!

"you……"

Surprise, grievance, surprise, shyness and other emotions intertwined, Zhao Qiong was completely infatuated, and was at a loss as to how to face Li Xianfang.

"What a silly girl!"

Looking at Zhao Qiong's obviously haggard face, Li Xian was so distressed that he raised his foot and didn't make any gestures. He had already slipped into the room through the open window, and unceremoniously grabbed Zhao Qiong. Hugged into his arms, and cursed lovingly.

"what……"

Zhao Qiong obviously didn't expect Li Xian to come so fast and move so violently. Before he recovered, he was dizzy by the strong manly aura on Li Xian, and couldn't help exclaiming. If you want to struggle, how can you break free from Li Xian's embrace? His face flushed instantly, and he buried his head on Li Xian's chest shyly, biting his red lips lightly with silver teeth, so ashamed that he didn't know what to do. .

speech?unnecessary!Although Li Xian is not very good at love affairs, he knows that actions are more powerful than all words. Feeling the amazing flexibility of the beautiful woman in his arms, Li Xian couldn't help feeling a little drunk after drunk, and couldn't help adding a With all his strength, he hugged Zhao Qiong tightly to his chest.

"Dangdang!"

I don't know how long it took, when the two were indulging in the passion of embracing each other, a crisp cracking sound suddenly sounded, which immediately awakened the two of them from their intoxicated state. Seeing the little girl Zijuan standing dumbfounded at the door of the wing room, there are fragments of wine jars at her feet, the residual wine is flowing around, and the aroma of wine is bursting.

"Miss, you, you... ah, the servant didn't see anything, didn't see anything, really!"

Seeing clearly that the person holding Zhao Qiong was Li Xian, Zijuan immediately came to his senses, first exclaimed, then hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, looked left and right, and then vomited Sticking out his tongue, making a face, and making jokes with a smirk.

"what……"

Only then did Zhao Qiong suddenly realize that she was still in Li Xian's arms, startled, and hurriedly struggled, trying to break away from Li Xian's arms around her waist.

"hey-hey."

After finally hugging the beauty, Li Xian would not let go of it, and gave a smirk twice, exerting force on his feet, he had already floated out of the window sill with Zhao Qiong in his arms, and was already on the roof in a blink of an eye.

"Ah, you, bastard!"

Zhao Qiong had never experienced such an act of soaring through the clouds and driving the fog, so she couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and when she regained her composure, she realized that she was already on the roof. He gave Li Xian a moment and let out a reproach.

"Qiong'er, you don't know now. It is said that men are not bad and women don't love, so Qiong'er must be lonely because of love."

Looking at Zhao Qiong's shy face, Li Xian couldn't help but swayed, and the words came out without thinking. Zhao Qiong was so ashamed that he blushed like Guan Gong, and his small fists fell on the ground like raindrops. On Li Xian's body, it's just that for Li Xian, the strength was no different from scratching an itch, which made Li Xian laugh non-stop.

"I hate it, I don't care about you!"

Zhao Qiong saw that Li Xian had no choice but frowned, and in a fit of anger, she twisted her body and sat down on the tile surface.

Well, the beauty is angry, whether it is true or not, this is the time to be coaxed, although Li Xian is not good at affairs, but he is not so stupid to the point of confusion, so she smiled and reached out to remove the bag on her back. A small package was undone, revealing a small box, and turned to Zhao Qiong with a smile, squatting down, and lifted the box, revealing all kinds of small dots inside.

"Ah, it's Lee Kum Kee's jujube cake!"

Zhao Qiong wasn't angry at first, it was just that the youngest daughter was out of temper. Seeing Li Xian took out the pastry box, she couldn't help but be attracted to her eyes. Then she saw that they were all her favorite snacks on weekdays, so she pretended to be When I was so angry, I didn't know where to go, and after several days of not thinking about food and drink, I was already a little hungry and panicked. After this exclamation, I didn't care about getting angry again, and reached out to pick up the food box When he reached his hand, he stretched out his plain hand lightly, and a piece of pastry had already entered his mouth.

Huh, the fire is finally out!Looking at Zhao Qiong's happy eating, Li Xian's heart couldn't help but relax, and he didn't open his mouth. He just stared at Zhao Qiong's delicate face silently, and he was fascinated by it for a while...
