Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 63

Wearing armor and riding steeds, the army marched on the galloping road. Looking at the harvested crops on both sides, Li Pingyuan grinned.

"Father, let's go back to Chengguo directly. Aren't we going to pick up Second Sister?" Li Chengzhi was next to him, and there was no one around them, Li Chengzhi whispered.

"I don't have the nerve to go to Yu Country now. I'm going to return to my life now, and then I'll tell you I'm sick and get out of everyone's sight!" Li Pingyuan's smile disappeared, and his heart twitched when he thought of receiving the letter, especially being humiliated by the immortal in public. , he couldn't hold his face anymore, and afterwards the generals advised him to admit what the immortal said.

Can you do whatever you want with the posture of a dragon and a phoenix?Do you think you are the emperor?

Li Pingyuan was upset, but felt that what the immortal said was right. After all, the immortal had real skills, not those domestic guys who were full of Taoism, but the existence of really offering magic weapons to slaughter monsters.

Then after thinking about it, the letter said that his daughter invited him to the mansion, and then the proud daughter didn't respond when she was held in hand, and finally slept in her daughter's room and the daughter didn't respond, and even let him live in the mansion.

The daughter acquiesces, what to do as a bad person by herself, but it is impossible to go to Yu country without making a statement, so why don't you just go back to Cheng country and return to life.

Let her make trouble, she can make trouble as she wants, as long as she is happy.

Speaking of which, he was also the first man who caught her eyes. He didn't like each other before. He thought that this daughter was going to die alone. How could this be worthy of her old friend who passed away? Now that she has her own ideas, she pretends to be too old. Busy, sick, no time to manage.

"Let's just leave the second sister alone?" Li Chengzhi didn't think it was very good. He wanted to fly to Yu country to beat up Zhuang Xun, so that he could sleep in the boudoir's room without knowing the etiquette.

"What do you do? If I let you go to Yu State, you can take care of it. If you want to know what your second sister looks like when she takes care of food, you can provoke her?" Li Pingyuan glanced at Li Chengzhi, looking like a fool. Looking at him, he was indeed his own stupid son, as if it was a fake.

If you are a father yourself, you can still talk about it, what do you want to do as a younger brother?
"Uh, dad, forget it, the second sister can do whatever she wants, and the other party has been judged by the immortal to be a dragon and a phoenix, and our family is not at a loss." Hearing what Li Pingyuan said, Li Chengzhi was taken aback for a while, probably Thinking of Li Rusi's "teaching" to him on weekdays, he immediately changed his attitude, and even felt some sympathy for Zhuang Xun, whom Li Rusi had taken a fancy to.

"It's not a loss. Your sister is going to be someone else's concubine. It's not a loss to you. You want to piss me off. What a dragon and a phoenix, can he still be the emperor of the Yu Kingdom?" Li Pingyuan looked at this The silly son is angry, how do you say this, you default that our family is a high climber, right?

"She is willing, and you can't stop her, Dad. The second sister, like the eldest sister, is a person with ideas." Li Chengzhi told the truth, but it was not very pleasant.

Sure enough, Li Pingyuan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. If it weren't for the distance between the two horses, he would have raised his horse to whip someone.

Seemingly sensing that the old father's gloomy face and the atmosphere were not right, Li Chengzhi lightly lifted the reins and moved away from Li Pingyuan.

Intuitively, it is quite accurate, for the sense of danger.

His retreat made Li Pingyuan feel a little better. He was very happy when he won, but now he is very upset by this bad thing.

The posture of the dragon and the phoenix, the posture of the dragon and the phoenix, the posture of the bullshit dragon and the phoenix, Li Pingyuan cursed in his heart, if his daughter went to snatch a married man, it would be the greatest tolerance for him to ignore it.

"Report, general, the emperor's order, to welcome the general outside Jidu tomorrow, please suspend the march." The messenger stopped Li Pingyuan.

"Understood, the front army stopped, the rear army continued to advance, and returned to Jidu to report." Li Pingyuan said according to the imperial edict.

Some people will be stationed there for the ceremony tomorrow, while the other people will continue to march and return to Jidu to reunite with their relatives and children.

Take a part of the army, set up camp, and wait for tomorrow to move.

"Father, the Holy Majesty has come to welcome you." In the tent, Li Chengzhi said excitedly, his expression beaming.

What an honor this is. The emperor greeted the triumphant general in person. The main reason was that the emperor ignored political affairs, which showed how much he valued Li Pingyuan.

"It's not good to pay too much attention to it. The Holy Majesty may feel threatened. I'm going to get sick later, so you go and make trouble." With his screen back, Li Pingyuan sat on the wooden bed with a big knife and a golden horse, his expression solemn.

This is not something to be happy about. On the contrary, the emperor who ignored the government suddenly made such a gesture, which shows that he was also shocked by his own achievements.

"Ah, how could it be? The Holy Majesty has gone out of the city to meet Dad. Isn't this a great favor?" Li Pingyuan was dumbfounded.

"The next step is to collect evidence of treason, and then take you and me to question. Although His Majesty is obsessed with cultivating Taoism, he still has the basic emperor's mind." Li Pingyuan's tone was calm and cold, and he was not satisfied with this treatment. .

"If it's so serious, shouldn't you be cautious? Why does father want me to cause trouble?" Li Chengzhi was startled, his eyes widened, and he couldn't understand it. He also panicked. He had already won, so why did he feel more dangerous than losing .

"The only way to make trouble is to lose the noble. This time, the credit for destroying the army of the You Kingdom is too great. No matter how it is divided, your father and I will take the big head. When the Duke is no longer sealed, you go to cause trouble, so that you can use the credit to give it to me." You are ordinary, so you won't make great achievements." Li Pingyuan had a clear mind, and he couldn't move around, only Li Chengzhi could pretend to be meritorious and want to trouble someone for a day, and make some troubles for himself.

"But I don't know how to cause trouble." Li Chengzhi had a bitter face, looking at a loss, what was trouble, and how to do it.

"It's not easy. Just hit the princes and grandchildren that you don't like in ordinary times. That's all right. I think you are quite capable." Li Pingyuan looked at Li Chengzhi who didn't know how to get into trouble, and snorted coldly. Say it out loud.

"It's a good relationship. There are many people I'm upset with, but what if I can't beat them?" That's a shame, but it's a big loss.

"Then come back and let me beat you again. After practicing martial arts for so long, but you still can't beat these princes and nobles, then I will teach you martial arts and see if you are addicted to the service of maids all day long!" , Regressed." Li Pingyuan glanced at Li Chengzhi.

Li Chengzhi let out a smirk, not daring to answer Li Pingyuan's question directly.

"Forget it, this time the performance is not bad, and there is no mistake in the art of war." Li Pingyuan looked like this, and originally wanted to reprimand him, but thinking of Li Chengzhi's performance this time, he went back and forth and made a double pass. In one fell swoop, he cut off the escape route of You Country, food and grass, which was considered a great achievement.

"We've been feared. Eldest sister should be fine." Li Chengzhi was careless because he was careless, and he really cared about his family.

"Your older sister is smarter than you. She knows what's going on much better than you. Now she's sure to stay at home and concentrate on cultivating at home."

Li Pingyuan is still very worried about his eldest daughter, as he said, Li Chengzhi's IQ may really be eaten by his eldest daughter, and Li Shaoyun's ice-snow smartness (scheming), facing this kind of flowers, the fire boils oil In such a situation, he would not get carried away with complacency, but would instead become cautious as Li Chengzhi said.

"What, why doesn't she have to make trouble, I'm going to take the blame." Li Chengzhi said unconvinced that he was going to be called to make trouble by his father for being cautious.

"Can it be the same? She is in the court, so many pairs of eyes are staring at her. The rules of the court are different from the rules outside. The court is a den of dragons and tigers." Li Pingyuan sighed, feeling more and more pitiful for his eldest daughter.

"It would be fine if the elder sister didn't choose to enter the palace. Chengguo can't stay here, so we just run away. With your achievements, father, where can't we go?" Li Chengzhi said impatiently.

"Then I'm not the same as Siqin Shengjing." Li Pingyuan smiled. This kind of traitor belongs to the bottom of the chain of contempt in the current world's values.

"That's different. He ran away with the army before the battle, and we ran by ourselves. It's impossible for the emperor to kill us. We should just stay where we are and let him do it."

Li Chengzhi said differently that there are disputes among countries, and Kyushu belongs to the same country. It’s okay if one country can’t stay and go to another country, but you can’t go to the enemy with things that are harmful to the mother country, like Siqin Shengjing who brings a large army to the enemy. Then everyone in the world would scold him for being unfaithful and unrighteous.

"It's a rare thing to say a good thing, it's not good to sit and wait for death, but you think you can run away now? Siqin Shengjing can run away. Looking at the situation in You Country, the help of ghosts and ghosts is indispensable. Our family wants to escape completely. , how could it be so easy, and with your eldest sister in the palace, it is impossible for her to be as shameless as the pianist, and run away by herself, leaving her married daughter behind."

Li Pingyuan made no secret of his contempt. Siqin Shengjing's actions not only made people disgusted by leading an army to surrender to the enemy, but also made people feel shameful by running away with his family and leaving behind married concubines.

"That's it. It would be great if the emperor died, and the concubines would be sent to the temple for retirement, so the elder sister could be taken away." Li Chengzhi said bluntly.

"Shen Yan, is this what you should say?" Li Pingyuan slapped Li Chengzhi's helmet, making his brain buzz.

"Father, I'm going to be stupid, I'm really going to be stupid." Li Chengzhi covered his mouth and drew his head back.

"You're already stupid, how dare you say such nonsense?" Li Pingyuan looked at Li Chengzhi, who was speaking out loud, and felt that he had lost all anger. I hope that you caused trouble by actions, not by words.

"I don't understand. Mingming's father has made great contributions. Why do we feel that our family is still in danger? This kind of emperor shouldn't die? Get someone wiser to come up?" Stepping back two steps, Li Chengzhi said angrily, fearing that Li Pingyuan would hit him , he took two steps back.

"You have to understand, and I can rest assured you. The emperor is actually right, and any emperor who is not stupid will do the same."

Li Pingyuan took a deep breath. It's not that this kind of emperor who doesn't care about things for a day has never thought of rebelling against these methods to change into a country, but so what if the rebellion succeeds? It's totally pointless to change, and it ruins your reputation.

It's better to leave a reputation of loyalty and bravery, and leave a reputation guarantee for Li Chengzhi and his descendants. Everyone knows that his Li family has been loyal for generations, and he will treat him well even if he doesn't reuse it.

"I don't understand, I just don't understand, it's enough for you and eldest sister to understand, I'm going to read the book of war." Li Chengzhi felt that he couldn't communicate with Li Pingyuan, and was afraid that Li Pingyuan would beat him, so he ran away looking for an excuse. , leaving Li Pingyuan who calmed down and thought carefully.

"Shao Yun..." Li Pingyuan sighed.

At this moment, Jiao'an Palace, the palace is gorgeous, obviously it is not a coastal country, but whale oil candles are lit in the palace, illuminating the whole palace brightly.

Gold and silver utensils, pearls, jade and gemstones, glazed silk and satin, the whole palace looks magnificent, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time for the maids to clean these items every day.

Compared with the dazzling and beautiful palace, the beauty kneeling on the futon is extremely simple. The simple wooden hairpin restrains the black hair like a waterfall, without makeup, pure and self-presenting, but there is a trace of beauty in the plain color. Charming, because of her pair of black and white fox eyes, the pupils are full of affection, one will be intoxicated by looking at them more, and the thick and suitable red lips will captivate all beings even if they smile lightly.

She has a slender figure, but the twigs are full of fruit. The loose Taoist robe can't cover up her snowy peak, which is so majestic to everyone. Sitting on the futon, the taut robe looks round and plump, outlining a ripe and delicious peach, with a graceful appearance. Chuoyue, an independent mountain fairy, pure and mature with a fairy air.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat." The maid serving her reminded softly, interrupting Li Shaoyun who was mumbling.

"Yangmei, what time is it?" Li Shaoyun put down the scriptures with her plain hands and asked a little tiredly.

"It's midday, ma'am." Helping Li Shaoyun to stand up, she realized that she was actually tall, much taller than a maid.

"Your Majesty went to the gymnasium again today?" Li Shaoyun was supported to sit down, and Li Shaoyun straightened her Taoist robe to straighten herself.

"No, I went to Queen Wang's palace to see the prince." Yang Mei brought a cup of ginseng tea and placed it in front of Li Shaoyun.

"Prince? Forget it." Li Shaoyun picked up the ginseng tea and looked at it. The color of the tea could vaguely see her lonely and independent face in the floating light.

"Many concubines have sent gifts, do they want to accept them or return them?" Yang Mei reported on her work. As a noble concubine, Jiao An Palace has jurisdiction over 60 to [-] people. Many things cannot be handled by Yang Mei as a personal maid, so she can only invite noble concubines. Li Shaoyun's decision.

"Accept it. If you don't accept it, they will have to think about it. It's a troublesome thing." After taking a sip of ginseng tea, the beautiful woman bossed her around.

"Okay, I'll let the servants accept it now. Do you think it's time to serve?" Seeing Li Shaoyun put down the ginseng tea, Yang Mei asked cautiously.

"Slow down, go and get the letter first." Tapping her fingers on the table, Li Shaoyun was not in the mood to eat.

"Yes." Yang Mei walked out of the palace quickly, and Li Shaoyun took another sip of the ginseng tea. The steaming mist made her beautiful face hazy, and Fang Ruo had a layer of veil, adding a bit of mystery and immortality .

When Yangmei arrived, she walked quickly to the palace in small steps and delivered the letter. Li Shaoyun put down the teacup and pushed the saucer. Yangmei hurriedly put away the ginseng tea.

Picking up the letter, this thin letter is part of the power of the imperial concubine, and only a noble concubine with a strong background on the outside and a noble concubine on the inside is eligible to receive letters from the outside.

Slowly tearing open the seal, reading the message carefully, Li Shaoyun couldn't help laughing, it was information about Li Rusi.

When she saw Zhuang Xun staying in Li Rusi's room overnight, she frowned. Seeing that the rumors could no longer be stopped, her smile disappeared. After reading the letter several times, she slowly regained her smile. Finally, she opened the incense small stove.

The incense was glowing with fire, and the letter was burned. Seeing the flame go out, Li Shaoyun closed the lid with a happy smile.

"Serve, serve more rice, I want to eat more today." Li Shaoyun ordered.

"Ma'am, what are you happy about? What did your majesty reward General Li?" Seeing that Li Shaoyun was happy, Yang Mei asked actively, and at the same time waved for the maids to serve the food.

Observing words and emotions is the most important skill for servants. When the master is happy, she will naturally share the happiness with her.

"It's not Daddy's business. His Majesty is already preparing to go out of the city to meet him tomorrow. This is already a top honor. Even if you want to reward him, you have to go to the court and decide after the court." Li Shaoyun smiled and shook her head.

"What makes you so happy, ma'am?" Yang Mei laughed along with her.

"Ru Si found Mr. Lang, he is the right envoy of Hebei Province Jiedu of Yu State." Li Shaoyun said as he watched the dishes being served on the table.

"Then congratulations to Ms. Li, you have found Mr. Ruyi." Yang Mei smiled with her. She also knew Li Shaoyun's family situation, Li Rusi's name, and her deeds. Now she heard that Li Rusi Finding Mr. Lang naturally considered it a great event, and congratulated Li Shaoyun.

"Congratulations? I found a married man, and I don't know how to solve it now. She is the daughter of our Great General Cheng, and marrying someone from Yu as a concubine would not be ridiculous." Although Li Shaoyun said this, she smiled. Still hanging on the beauty.

"This?" Yang Mei was embarrassed. No wonder Li Shaoyun frowned just now. If this kind of thing got out, the Li family was indeed lost.

"This situation is quite suitable. This Cuiyu lotus root soup is made well today." With a sigh, Li Shaoyun said in a happy mood.

"Do you want to ask me why I'm not angry?" Seeing Yang Mei's embarrassed look, Li Shaoyun gave her a step down.

"Ma'am, aren't you angry?" Yang Mei asked cautiously, following Li Shaoyun's pace.

"I was very angry at first, but later I realized that this is Bengong's younger sister, so I became less angry. The second younger sister is very humane, so she can't fail to think of these things, but she still did it. Naturally, she has her thoughts, and the older sister is naturally supportive. Yes." Li Shaoyun said with an expression of trust in Li Rusi.

"Besides, welcome, Your Majesty, it's good to have something to cool our Li family down in this kind of situation where the fire is cooking oil." Li Shaoyun argued left and right.

But Yang Mei didn't understand, she showed a puzzled expression, unable to understand why the concubine, who should be proud of the spring breeze, wanted to cool down her family.

"Please take a leave of absence for me in the afternoon. I won't go to the Tai Chi Hall to read the booklets. I said that I have devoted myself to cultivating Taoism and comprehending the greatness of Taoism. I won't be able to go to the Tai Chi Hall this month." Li Shaoyun put down the bowls and chopsticks, and Yang Mei helped her forward It's not that Li Shaoyun has no ability to act, but that this is the demeanor configuration of Cheng Guo's concubine.

After eating, Li Shaoyun, supported by Yangmei, knelt on the cushion and picked up the scriptures.

"Your Majesty studies Taoism so much, why doesn't Your Majesty come to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is obviously working so hard." Seeing Li Shaoyun's hard work, Yang Mei said pitifully
"Don't think about it, I won't come, I won't come in this life, I knew it the day I entered the palace."
