Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 793 Unique
Jinxiang was originally locked up by King Teng.

Li Qinzai promised to build the Tengwang Pavilion, Li Qinzai wrote the "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion", and Li Qinzai came to the door to give gifts. All the courtesy was exhausted, but Jinxiang was still locked in the palace by Teng Wang and was not allowed to go out.

No matter what King Teng thinks in his heart now, in short, he must not let his daughter go out easily.

A pair of mandarin ducks who have been beaten with sticks, if they meet, something will almost certainly happen.

King Teng was once young, and he is still a well-known old dude. He knows better than anyone what young people think.

Recently, the palace has been caught in the center of a storm of public opinion. King Teng would never dare to add another scandal to the palace, otherwise it would be completely impossible to turn over.

However, when the emperor Xuan Jinxiang entered the palace to have an audience, would King Teng dare to object?

After receiving the decree, King Teng ordered Jinxiang to dress neatly without hesitation, and the palace guards prepared horses and guards of honor. The newly dressed Jinxiang County Lord went out and boarded the carriage and drove towards Taiji Palace.

King Teng stood at the door, staring blankly at the carriage going away, with an increasingly complicated expression on his face.

King Teng knew very well what the daughter's departure meant.

The Son of Heaven obviously planned to intervene again. If King Teng still gritted his teeth and refused to express his opinion, he would be a little ignorant. The Son of Heaven was so obviously partial. Could it be that King Teng, who had lived for half his life, planned to continue to fight against the Son of Heaven?
Compared with the humiliation and anger when he was persecuted by the emperor in Taiji Palace last time, King Teng was surprised to find that his mood was much calmer today.

Having to accept the fact that Li Qinzai was about to become his son-in-law, King Teng thought about it for a while, feeling less angry in his heart.

Is it the pressure exerted by the emperor, Li Qinzai's promise to build the Tengwang Pavilion, or the "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" written on his heart?
Teng Wang's mood is very complicated.

Using power to overwhelm others, King Teng will only become more angry, and even dare to risk his life to fight.

But if you overwhelm someone with talent...

King Teng seemed unable to refuse.

After all, who can refuse a son-in-law who can write "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng"?Those who laugh at Prince Teng's mansion, those who make irresponsible remarks because of Li Qinzai's married status, just ask, can your son-in-law write an article like "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng"?
If you can't, just shut up and secretly envy!

A son-in-law with amazing literary talents, he got the face of Prince Teng, so what's the matter with being married?For a person with such talent, why not marry his daughter to him as a concubine?

After self-psychological hypnosis for a long time, the corner of Teng Wang's mouth finally raised a small arc, and then turned back to the palace.

For the next thing, let’s push the boat along the way. Acting skills are more difficult to master. You have to show an indifferent and cold look, but also pretend to be half-hearted, and use a reluctant expression to complete the marriage. It is a test of acting skills.

…………

Tai Chi Palace.

The head of Jinxiang County lowered his eyebrows and bowed gracefully in front of Li Zhi and Empress Wu.

Li Zhi looked at this cousin with a smile. Although they were relatives, they didn't meet many times. In the past, Li Zhi didn't want to see King Teng, so naturally Prince Teng's relatives didn't bother to see him.

Until the hidden affair between Li Qinzai and this cousin broke out, Li Zhi suddenly discovered that this seemingly gentle and quiet cousin had the courage to do such a rebellious thing quietly.

People should not be judged by their appearance, let alone a cousin.

Asking Jin Xiang to sit closer, Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "I can't see that a girl as weak as my sister actually promised each other for life in private with Li Jingchu. Tsk, when did it happen? I really haven't heard anything about it." , you two are so mysterious."

Jin Xiang's pretty face blushed, she lowered her head and remained silent.

Empress Wu smiled and tugged at Li Zhi's sleeve, and cast an angry glance: "My daughter's skin is thin, Your Majesty should not make fun of her."

Li Zhi laughed and said: "They are all from my own family, why can't I say it? I didn't laugh at her, but I was just curious. Li Jingchu's temperament is completely different from that of my sister. Is it true?" I really want to know, what exactly does A-mei like in Li Jingchu?"

Jin Xiang lowered his head and said softly, "He...is different from others."

Li Zhi said enthusiastically, "What's the difference?"

Jin Xiang raised his head, looked straight into Li Zhi's eyes bravely, and said, "He is Li Qinzai, there is only one Li Qinzai in the world, he is unique."

Li Zhi blinked: "Everyone in the world is unique, why does my sister agree to Li Qinzai alone?"

"Because he is the only one in my eyes. After I know him, no one in the world will come into my eyes again."

Jin Xiang's words were resounding, and the words had already fallen, but her firm voice seemed to be still echoing in the hall.

Li Zhi and Empress Wu looked at each other, and they saw a rock-like determination in Jin Xiang's eyes.

Li Zhi and Empress Wu also had that look in their eyes before. It was a kind of fearless courage to risk their lives for each other and to risk the world's disgrace.

It's a pity that the pure and firm courage back then has been washed away by the years, and has been mixed with too many impurities. The vows they made to each other for a lifetime have gradually dimmed and faded under the invasion of power and pros and cons.

Li Zhi and Empress Wu felt a lot of emotions at the same time, their eyes collided with disappointment, and then they moved away in a tacit understanding.

The most cruel thing about time is not to take away the years, but to make pure things stained with dust, like moss on a slate.

What I was willing to spend my whole life pursuing at the beginning, I inevitably got tired of it in the end.

Li Qinzai and Jinxiang, will it be the same after many years?
Li Zhi didn't know, but he very much hoped that the ending of the two would be better than his, which can be regarded as repaying his innocence.

"Does Amei really want to marry Li Jingchu?" Li Zhi looked at her with a half-smile, and said, "You are the daughter of the clan, the honor of the county lord, and this dynasty started with the establishment of the country, and there has never been a clan relationship. A precedent for a female minister to be a concubine."

Jin Xiang smiled faintly, bowed his head and said: "The minister is willing to cut down the title of the county lord and enter Li's mansion with a white body. How can wealth be added, and I hope to win a person of one's heart."

Li Zhi said in surprise: "In order to marry him, you don't even want the county master?"

"No, for me, Li Qinzai is much more important than the title of the county lord. If I have to choose, I would like to take Li Qinzai instead of the county lord."

Empress Wu also stared at Jin Xiang in shock for a while, then shook her head and sighed, "What a silly woman..."

Jin Xiang looked up at Empress Wu, and smiled calmly: "He has done a lot for me, and I want to do something for him, at least not to embarrass him too much, nor to embarrass my father too much."

Speaking of which, Jinxiang suddenly knelt down to Li Zhi, and said, "I ask your majesty to cut down the title of the county lord of Jinxiang, remove the name of Zongzheng Temple, and ask your majesty to make it happen."

Li Zhi let out a long breath.

If the Lord of Jinxiang County is really eliminated, the whole matter will be much easier.

Since she is no longer the daughter of a clan, Jin Xiang is a commoner with a white body. Of course, it is reasonable to marry someone else as a concubine, and it does not violate the etiquette of the clan of the Tang Dynasty. The whole thing is smooth.
