People in the Tang Dynasty, Jian'an style

"Humph, that's abominable."

The two discussed for a long time but could not come up with any useful solution, which made Li Shimin angry and said hatefully.

At the same time, Changsun Wugou was lying on the bed with a storybook in his hand.

However, she didn't notice that the book was upside down, and it was obvious that her mind was not on the book.

She didn't know how long she had been in a daze, but suddenly she felt something was wrong.

Chapter 62: Little sister, are you okay?

A woman's natural intuition made Changsun Wugou look up, and she saw Li Wenbin looking at her with a smile.

She was so startled that she almost dropped the book in her hand.

Changsun Wugou stood up in surprise, but immediately frowned and gasped in pain.

Last time in Baihualou, she was injured in the throat by Li Wenbin, and because of the ice incident, her delicate skin was also frostbitten.

That's why I had to stay in bed to recuperate.

Changsun Wugou was very angry and wanted to give Li Wenbin a taste of his anger.

As a result, he didn't show up for several days.

He waited until today to come visit me.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wugou's eyes turned slightly red. She turned away angrily, facing the wall, and ignored him.

Li Wenbin didn't care. He walked up to her and took her into his arms, and whispered, "Why, are you unhappy to see me?"

Leaning on Li Wenbin's solid chest and smelling the familiar scent on him, Changsun Wugou felt that all the resentment in his heart had disappeared.

"Of course I will be happy as long as I see my master..."

Putting her arms around Li Wenbin's neck, Changsun Wugou said in a tender voice.

At this moment, the voice of a maid suddenly came from outside the house: "Greetings, Doctor Changsun."

"Well, where's the princess?"

"Replying to the doctor, the princess has caught a cold these days and is recovering."

This voice interrupted the excitement of the two people. The blood color on Changsun Wugou's face disappeared completely in an instant, and his eyes were full of panic when he looked at Li Wenbin.

"It's my brother, Wuji."

"Get him out!" Li Wenbin whispered.

"No, stop making trouble. It's already this time..." Changsun Wugou said hastily.

"Don't worry, I'll hide myself first." Li Wenbin looked around, but found that there was no place to hide here.

The bed is too low and I can't get into it at all.

He simply got into Changsun Wugou's skirt and asked her to sit on the bed.

In this way, with the cover of the bed curtains and Changsun Wugou's loose long skirt, Li Wenbin probably would not be discovered by the other party.

"Come in." Changsun Wugou tried to remain calm, and then Li Wenbin, who was hiding under her skirt, heard the door opening, followed by footsteps.

It seems that he has not been discovered, otherwise the footsteps would not be so gentle. Li Wenbin finally felt relieved.

"Brother, why are you here today? Is there something urgent?"

Changsun Wugou sat upright on the bed and asked calmly.

If you just look at her face, there might not be anything unusual.

But no one knew that this noble Princess Qin was wearing nothing on her lower body and was even hiding a man.

"Oh, little sister, I came to the palace today to discuss matters with the prince, and I happened to think that I hadn't seen you for a long time, so I came to see you." Changsun Wuji said, "What's wrong? I heard from the servants that you are sick?"

"Oh, don't worry, brother. It was just a little hot and stuffy at night. I wanted to stay cool when I slept, so I had a stuffy nose. But it's much better now."

Li Wenbin felt a little suffocated hiding under her skirt, and Changsun Wuji kept talking endlessly, which made him feel very bored.

No, there seems to be something else to do...

Changsun Wugou was caught off guard and cried out, "Ah!"

"Little sister, what's wrong with you?" No matter how creative Changsun Wuji was, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with his sister Changsun Wugou. He just thought she was feeling unwell.

"It's okay, I just twisted it." Changsun Wugou took a deep breath and pretended to wave his arm. "My shoulder blade has been a little sore lately."

"Little sister, please take care of yourself..."

"Oh, I see."

She pretended to be calm as she talked to Changsun Wuji. As time passed, Changsun Wuji kept talking.

The effort and attention she had to put in were much greater than before.

"what--"

Changsun Wugou suddenly let out a low cry, which startled Changsun Wuji who was talking fluently.

"Little sister, what are you doing..."

"Brother, I have a slight headache." Changsun Wugou rubbed his temple and said, "It may be because I didn't get enough rest these days."

"Little sister, you have to get some rest." Changsun Wuji said with concern, "Forget it, I'll come visit you in a few days when you're better."

"Well... okay. Brother, I won't get up to see you off."

Changsun Wugou pretended to be embarrassed and said.

"No need, no need. Just take a good rest. You don't have to see me off." Changsun Wuji always felt that his sister was a little strange today, but he couldn't tell what was strange about her.

He stood at the door and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, so he could only shake his head and leave.

Changsun Wuji left, but he didn't know that his beloved sister was lying on the couch with her back facing up, her eyes dull, as if she had just experienced a baptism of storm.

At this time, Li Wenbin had already crawled out from under her skirt.

The alarm is lifted, now we can have some fun.

Li Wenbin smiled. "It's okay, he's gone far away."

Zhangsun Wugou collapsed on the bed: "You, you...how can you...bully me like this..."

Li Wenbin leaned close to her ear and said with a smile: "Why, Guanyinbi, don't you like being bullied like this?"

"Well... this is so embarrassing, Master, please don't ask..."

……

Time passed day by day, and Li Wenbin lived a very comfortable life in the following days.

Every day he either practices martial arts or continues to conquer several women according to the system's requirements.

In the court, the conflict between the Crown Prince's forces and the King of Qin's forces became more and more serious, but they always maintained a tacit understanding - although there was a conflict, they would never let Emperor Li Yuan find out.

Therefore, although the Tang Dynasty's court appears calm on the surface, there are turbulent waves beneath the calm surface.

Li Wenbin didn't care about this, but Wu Lezhang came to him every now and then to ask for his advice.

He is also quietly doing a balance.

Li Wenbin has made up his mind - he really wants to help Li Shimin, even if it is for his own sake.

But even if we help, we have to know how to help.

In Li Wenbin's opinion, the best way is to make both the Prince's forces and the King of Qin's forces suffer losses.

When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. Only by greatly weakening the power of the King of Qin will it be more likely for me to come to the fore in the future.

For Li Wenbin, it would be best if most of Li Shimin's useful subordinates had died, so that he was the only one he could rely on.

However, for the future development of the Tang Dynasty, Li Wenbin gave up this idea after careful consideration.

After all, in addition to the prince, there is also a Turk on the grassland who has always been eyeing the Tang Dynasty.

Li Wenbin doesn't want to attract foreign invasion because of his own selfish interests.

Doing this kind of thing will make you infamous forever!

Chapter 63: Zheng Garden

One day, Li Wenbin had just returned from practicing swordsmanship and martial arts when he saw Jinxiu appearing stealthily at the door. He had no idea what she was going to do.

"Come in, I've seen you."

Li Wenbin, who was shirtless and wiping his body, said lazily when he saw this.

"Young Master..." Jinxiu walked in closely with an evasive look.

"What happened? Why are you like this?"

"Someone has sent you a letter, and it will be delivered to you personally."

Jinxiu handed over a letter.

"For me?" Li Wenbin took it curiously.

As soon as the envelope was in my hand, a gust of fragrance wafted into my nostrils, refreshing my spirits.

Jinxiu snorted and turned her head away.

Glancing at her, Li Wenbin opened the envelope and saw a line of beautiful small words written on it - Quchifang, Zhengyuan.

What is this, so nonsensical?

"Zheng Garden? Isn't that the manor of Zheng family in Xingyang? Who is this person who invites you to meet him there?"

"Do you know this Zheng Garden?" Li Wenbin turned his head and asked Jinxiu.

"I know, young master." Jinxiu nodded, "It was a manor of Zheng family in Xingyang in Chang'an. It is said that it was later given to the Crown Princess as a dowry. Ah, this..."

As she spoke, she suddenly understood, her eyes widened, and she covered her mouth in disbelief: "Young Master, when did you... hook up with the Crown Princess again? I... ouch!"

Li Wenbin slapped her round face lightly: "You said something so harsh, what do you mean by 'hooking up'? If you keep talking like that, I'll shut your mouth."

Jinxiu covered her mouth and said, "I dare not do that anymore. If I say anything more, you will block my mouth and throat with something so that I can no longer speak. Okay?"

After glaring at her, Li Wenbin sat on the chair and began to ponder. Jinxiu smiled and wiped his body with a dry cloth.

After thinking about it, I realized that I haven't seen this Crown Princess for a long time.

To be honest, Li Wenbin really missed her a little.

Of course, whether he missed her as a person or as a person, that is unknown.

Seeing that Li Wenbin was silent, Jinxiu asked with a smile, "Young Master, are you ready to go to the appointment?"

To be honest, Li Wenbin also wanted to go, but he was afraid that it might attract attention and people would discover the "pure relationship between a man and a woman" between him and the Crown Princess. If there were any misunderstandings, that would be bad.

Jinxiu said, "I think you should go there openly. If you are timid, it will attract the attention of those who are interested. After all, the Crown Prince is your uncle. Why should you be afraid of going to his house?"

……

As one of the top aristocratic families, the Zheng family of Xingyang owned many manors in Chang'an City, among which Zheng Garden was the most luxurious.

Platforms and ponds were built in the garden according to the terrain, and clear streams meandered in the garden with gurgling sounds.

According to the shape of the mountains and the flow of water, gardens and pavilions were built, lakes and ponds were dug, and within a radius of dozens of miles, there were pavilions and terraces of different heights, which were extremely magnificent.

Here, peach blossoms are bright and willow branches are swaying, pavilions and trees are shining and shadowing each other, butterflies are fluttering and dancing among the flowers, and birds are chirping and talking on the branches. It is like a fairyland on earth.

Standing opposite the gate of Zheng Garden, Li Wenbin kept cheering himself up and made various contingency plans - such as what to say when he met the prince first, and what to say when he met him later.

Also, how to face this woman Zheng Guanyin.

This woman is stubborn and cunning like a fox. Sweet words won't work at all. I have to use force. When I see her, I will be furious and speak to her sternly. At least I will take the initiative. I can't let her suppress my momentum!

right! that's all!

Li Wenbin stepped onto the stone steps, grabbed the bronze ring of the animal head on the door, and banged it three times. After a while, a lazy voice came from the door: "Who is it?"

Li Wenbin shouted loudly: "I am Li Wenbin, and I want to see the Crown Princess!"

There was silence at first, then a scream was heard, followed by a faint voice, as if two people were arguing about something.

Li Wenbin listened carefully, and thanks to his excellent hearing, he heard someone say, "I'll open the door, you move out of the way!"
