Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 396 Take Her to See the Prosperity of the World
Chapter 98 takes her to see the prosperity of the world

At dusk, the sky was gloomy, and the cold wind mixed with snow particles hit the window lattice of Princess Pingyang's mansion, making a crackling sound.Suddenly, Li Xiuning opened the window and let the cold wind blow her face.

If you observe carefully, you will find that her eyes are full of sadness. At this time, Li Xiuning is wearing a white skirt. Although no powder is applied, it has the softness of a lot of girls, and it is rare to see the heroic spirit of wearing armor.

Li Xiuning was blown by the cold wind, and her face was turned pink by the knife-like cold wind, as if she had applied thick rouge.Cui'er was at the side trying to persuade: "Princess, let's go back, in case it gets cold..."

Before Cui'er could finish speaking, Li Xiuning said angrily, "It doesn't matter if you freeze to death, anyway, no one cares about you!"

"Oh, who made our Princess Pingyang angry." At this moment, He Yueer came outside. She was wearing a black cloak, only her eyebrows and eyes were exposed, but at this time He Yueer's eyebrows and eyelashes were covered. Full of hoarfrost.

Li Xiuning watched He Yueer's arrival, and said in great frustration: "What's so good about her, how can I not compare to her? Why did he treat me like this? Since he is interested in me, why did he..."

Although Li Xiuning didn't mention her name, neither He Yueer nor Cui'er knew who Li Xiuning was talking about.

At this point, Li Xiuning couldn't continue.It's very strange that Li Xiuning would not be so angry if Chen Yingzhen found a daughter of the Cui family from Qinghe, or a daughter from the Wang family from Taiyuan, even if it was a daughter from the Zheng family from Xingyang.

Because Li Xiuning understands that she has lost her femininity after leading the army for a long time.However, it depends on whom to compare with. If compared with that wild girl Li Daozhen, Li Xiuning thinks that she is still a fair lady.However, Chen Ying actually likes her.

He Yue'er took off the cloak covering her body and handed it to Cui'er, who quickly took it and prepared ginger tea for He Yue'er.Looking at Cui'er's back, He Yue'er sneered and said, "Is Your Highness a foodie?"

"No, no!" Li Xiuning said stubbornly: "I just can't figure it out. How could he be with her? It's really hard for people to understand? Could it be that..."

He Yue'er said: "His Royal Highness will never guess how Baicheng County Lord is pregnant with Chen Langjun's child."

When Li Xiuning thought about it, she was secretly surprised that in terms of appearance, Li Daozhen was not top-notch, but only average.It is even said that Lan'er in Chen Ying's mansion is smaller and more lovely than her. In terms of temperament, Gao Wenjin in Chen Ying's mansion is no worse than Li Daozhen. However, whether Lan'er is good or Gao Wenjin, Chen Ying has never touched them. .Li Xiuning looked at He Yue'er suspiciously and said, "You even know about this?"

He Yue'er nodded and said: "County Lord Baicheng didn't have a good impression of Chen Langjun at first, but when she learned that His Majesty intends to betroth her to Chen Langjun as his wife, she dared not disobey His Majesty, resisted the order and refused to obey, so she carried the Killing the Chen family with a Mo Dao..."

"Ah..." Li Xiuning couldn't help but screamed when she heard the news and knew the result.Martial arts is probably the only thing that Baicheng county master can be better than her.Li Xiuning's kung fu can only be regarded as good.Originally, she had no intention of shocking the battlefield, but only for strengthening her body, so Li Xiuning's kung fu was only a little stronger than ordinary soldiers, and it was very limited.

If one ignores Li Xiuning's identity, three random soldiers can easily defeat her, and five soldiers can do it if one wants to capture her alive.But Li Daozhen is different. Not only is she extremely talented, she has studied hard since she was a child, and her kung fu is far better than that of ordinary generals. Even her biological brother Li Daozong, Li Daozong's skills are outstanding among the children of the Li Tang royal family. Her fourth brother, Li Yuanji, was a little weaker, and he was no match for Li Shimin. However, Li Daozong could last more than ten rounds under Li Daozhen's Mo Dao at most.

He Yue'er told Li Xiuning about the past between Li Daozhen and Chen Ying. When Li Xiuning heard that Li Daozhen was deeply in love with Chen Ying, Chen Ying didn't know it at all.

Because of unrequited love, Li Daozhen didn't think about food and drink, and became thinner day by day. Li Xiuning even sympathized with Li Daozhen. When the aphrodisiac was administered, Li Xiuning's chest heaved with anger: "She...she...why is she so shameless?"

He Yue'er said: "Her Royal Highness, there is no need to be sad. The one who should be sad now is County Lord Baicheng. She is pregnant with the child alone. In the future, it will depend on whether His Highness is willing to leave the child to her, otherwise she will have nothing."

What He Yueer said was right. The ancient marriage law actually protected the absolute power of the main wife. A man must obtain the consent of his wife and wife first, otherwise he will not be allowed to enter the house.The child born is not even treated like a bastard, and can only be regarded as an illegitimate child.If the main wife is willing, she can also take the other wife as a concubine. Of course, if she doesn't want to, she can also as long as the children don't need adults. Li Daozhen has no way of refusing.

At this moment, Tweety said: "Your Highness, General Chen's mansion sent another food box, four dishes and two soups, isn't it..."

Ever since Li Xiuning left, Chen Ying wanted to curry favor with Li Xiuning so that Li Xiuning would not be angry anymore, but Li Xiuning never gave him a chance to explain, so Chen Ying had no choice but to order the kitchen to prepare exquisite dishes and serve three meals a day to Pingyang. Send it from the princess mansion.

Li Xiuning originally knew what was going on between Li Daozhen and Chen Ying, and thought that Chen Ying was behind her back and had an affair with Li Daozhen, so after some flirting, the womb secretly formed.At that time, Li Xiuning was not willing to accept Chen Ying's kindness at all, as long as it was a dish sent by Chen Ying, Li Xiuning asked Cui'er to take it to the street and give it to beggars.

Li Xiuning understood that Li Daozhen was taking advantage of Chen Ying's sympathy, and borrowed aphrodisiacs. At this time, Li Xiuning was not so angry: "Bring it here, I'm hungry too!"

Tweety was overjoyed when she heard the words.

Chen's lacquer box is very big, and inside it is made of catkin cotton for a layer of insulation. Even in the season of howling winter, the dishes in this food box are still steaming hot when served.

A plate of braised pork, a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, a plate of lotus root with glutinous rice, and a plate of shredded pork with fine sauce.

However, there is a one-foot-square sandalwood box underneath.Tweety thought it was a soup cup, but when Tweety opened it, it was a wooden box with a small wooden figure standing inside.This little figure is about one inch and two cents tall, wearing a palace headdress and a small and delicate green skirt. Although the little wooden figure is small, its nose, eyes and eyebrows are lifelike.

Li Xiuning had never seen such a thing before, and asked in surprise, "What is this?"

He Yue'er shook her head: "The servant girl doesn't know!"

Li Xiuning looked at Cui'er, sighed and said, "Forget it, I don't even know if I ask you!"

Tweety suddenly exclaimed: "Princess, there is a note here!"

A note about the size of a palm appeared in front of Li Xiuning's eyes, and Li Xiuning read: "Follow the direction of the arrow, turn around and a half!"

Li Xiuning picked up the wooden box and found that there was a handle on the bottom of the wooden box, and around it was an arrow pattern similar to a Taiji diagram. He Yueer said, "Let the maidservant come!"

Li Xiuning shook her head, twisted the handle suddenly, and turned it around in the direction of the arrow for four and a half weeks according to the words written on the note.

At this time, an accident happened.

The little wooden man in the wooden box, which was originally standing still, danced around the wooden box, and the clear and melodious sound of ding ding dong dong came out from the wooden box, which was very wonderful.

Li Xiuning's eyes widened, and she looked at the wooden box in disbelief: "What kind of mechanism is this?"

In fact, this is just the simplest musical box in later generations. It is recorded in the ancient "San Zi Jing": "Pao soil leather, wood, stone and gold. Silk and bamboo are octaves."

In fact, the octave is actually the general term for all ancient musical instruments, namely pao (páo), earth, leather, wood, stone, gold, silk, and bamboo.Among ancient musical instruments, sheng and yu belong to gourds; xun and so on belong to earth; drums and so on belong to leather; wooden fish and so on belong to wood; Class; pipe, flute, flute and so on belong to the bamboo class.It is not difficult to see that gourd, soil, leather, wood, stone, gold, silk, and bamboo refer to the raw materials used in making musical instruments.These eight raw materials can be said to make all musical instruments.

Of course, Chen Ying asked craftsmen to make springs out of spring steel and made the world's first music box just to please Li Xiuning.

Although Chen Ying doesn't know much about women and how to coax them into their hearts, he still remembers a very famous saying in later generations: "If she is not deeply involved in the world, take her to see the prosperity of the world;
If her heart has changed, take her on the merry-go-round.

If he starts to fall in love, you will take off your clothes;
If he has countless people, you will be at the stove.

Chen Ying knew that Li Xiuning had seen all the prosperity in the world. Although she hadn't lost her heart, Li Xiuning had ridden countless times on real horses, not to mention riding on merry-go-round horses.Thinking about it.Chen Ying decided to build a music box.

When the music box was in the later generations, Chen Ying once bought one, but when he gave it to others, they didn’t want it, so in anger, Chen Ying dropped the music box. After he dropped it, he felt distressed. It cost hundreds of oceans.For this reason, Chen Ying learned to assemble it by himself.The music box with its broken shell was kept on Chen Ying's bedside.

At this time, Chen Ying had no choice but to assemble a music box according to memory.

Obviously, Chen Ying's strategy succeeded.

Li Xiuning, He Yue'er, and Cui'er sat around in front of the music box, carefully observing the little wooden figure dancing Hu Shi dance, and listening to the sound made by the music box.

Li Xiuning listened to the melodious music, and memories of the past could not help but float in his head.The simple notes of eight tones seem to have infinite magic power, which makes Li Xiuning fall into infinite reverie and the remembrance of time.

At the end of the song, Li Xiuning couldn't wait to wind it up, so that the music box could make a melodious sound again, and she never got tired of it.
