Four Nights Red House

In the Palace of the Prince of Song, the sound of the jade flute passed through the black night waves and pierced the overlapping haze. With its lingering charm, it separated the entire palace from the bustling and bustling city that never sleeps.

The night was quiet tonight, and suddenly Cheng Qi felt a little drowsy, so he stood alone in the courtyard, with the light of the cold moon, nodding his head and closing his eyes, and focused on playing the beloved purple jade flute held between his plain fingers.

The tranquility and sophistication in his nature really followed his father Li Dan!The whole person looks stable, with a sense of precipitation that is out of the world and detached from things.

Not only that, his experience is always somewhat similar to that of his father Li Dan, intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Dan once gave way to the throne of emperor; after Zhongzong Li Xian was restored to the throne, Chengqi wanted to make him King Cai because of his pity for his nephew. , Dare not to be, and "resolutely refuse to accept".

Speaking of this, he has already made up his mind on another important and important event before him, and he will not accept it...

Cheng Qi's thoughts came to a knot, he paused slightly, turned his eyes to see a drop of dew hanging on the wide lotus leaf in the lotus pond in front of him, smiled immediately, and continued to concentrate on stroking the jade flute between his fingers.

He has never been entangled in his heart, and he has never been in a sea of ​​ice and fire.Because he had already made a decision early on, he would not continue to entangle.

Although his father appointed him as the General of the Left Guard immediately after he ascended the throne, it seemed that he was honored and favored, and he was in charge of the actual military power, and he was suspected of using him to guard against his third brother Longji.But what kind of person his father is, what he shows is naturally what he wants people to see, but what kind of deep meaning is hidden behind it really needs to be figured out!

How could it be his own son that the father wants to guard against?At the beginning of every emperor's ascension to the throne, the court situation will not be impenetrable, so how many people need to guard against it?Giving him military power and using him is because of trusting him.And the idea that he is also qualified to be the crown prince is to show the courtiers and the people all over the world, because he is the eldest son after all, if his father does not express his attitude, it will be somewhat unethical; secondly, it may be to explore his thoughts , use this action to gain insight into his meaning; thirdly, it should be to temporarily deter the third brother who has made great contributions. After all, his father is the emperor. Don't those who don't pay attention to the emperor?Can it still be restrained and restrained?

So mediocre!

The position of prince?His father didn't have the sincerity to give him, and he himself didn't have that leisurely thought!

"I think it's the voiceless voice coming from He Yuan'er, so quietly flying?"

All of a sudden, a woman's silver-bell-like laughter came out, that voice was as clear and pleasant as a stream of spring water, piercing through the air and lingering in my ears in the haze of the night.

Cheng Qifu was startled!There was a sudden reaction in panic, this voice should be...

He hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, in the depths of his eyelids, he bumped into a shining Princess Taiping in red!Under the moonlight, by the side of the lotus pond in the courtyard, Taiping happened to be smiling, and nodded slightly to him.

Even though the intersection between Li Chengqi and this princess is not deep, and the number of encounters is even rarer, but Princess Taiping has long been a legend in the Tang Empire. Moreover, with the favor of Emperor Wu and the support and support of Zhongzong and Ruizong's elder brothers, the three political changes she participated in and initiated by herself are so sharp!The enthronement of Emperor Wu had her help, Zhongzong's enthronement was supported by her, and today's father Ruizong's ascension to the throne is all due to her single-handed planning, promotion, and implementation!Whether it is power or intelligence, this clearly delicate and beautiful woman seems to be looked up to by others!

It's just that the night is dark and the light and shadow are heavy, but why does she come to her own house for details?

Cheng Qi's thoughts turned secretly, but he didn't dare to be negligent. He greeted Taiping warmly with a smile in a hurry, and saluted Taiping Qushen modestly: "So it's my aunt. Also, please... Auntie, please forgive me!" He made a bow again, and the tone of his voice was obviously flattering.

Taiping hurriedly smiled and helped him up: "It's a family, what are you talking about? It's true!" He frowned, pretending to blame.

Cheng Qi greeted him with a smile, made a "please" gesture, welcomed Taiping to the water pavilion and sat down, and ordered the maid to serve the tea fruit.

"Not busy." Taiping interrupted with a smile, while intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the weary Wanhe in the lotus pond, although her posture was also leisurely, she suddenly remained silent.

Cheng Qi understood what she meant, and hurriedly dismissed all the people who stood on his left and right.This is Princess Taiping, she came to his house to look for him at such an hour, naturally it was not just for the simple purpose of talking about family life and chatting about the day-to-day!

As all the attendants retreated, the originally mild surrounding air suddenly became a little chilly.Through the silvery moonlight, Cheng Qi looked at Princess Taiping, who was admiring the lotus.

Over the years, this beautiful woman has gradually matured, not only her eyebrows have become more charming, her face has become more beautiful and dazzling, but also the majestic spirit and boundless nobility that surround her body are even more obvious!I don't know if it's the shadowy forest disturbing people's eyes, or the heart suddenly becomes agitated. On the young and energetic face of Princess Taiping, Cheng Qi suddenly saw the shadow of the emperor's grandma Wu Zetian... …

This new sense of familiarity made his whole body tremble suddenly!Even though the Emperor Wu had long since passed away, those days when he was so low under the hands of the Emperor Wu that he lost his posture and fell into the earth three points, almost idly and peacefully, still made Cheng It's hard to control yourself in panic!

This is the magical power of Emperor Wu. People who have been shocked by her and experienced her era, even after the world has changed greatly and the time has gradually calmed down, just touching the memory a little bit, they still seem to fall into inexplicable The curse!

But Taiping is still different from her iron-blooded and majestic mother.

Seeing that Cheng Qi had pushed everyone away, Taiping turned his eyes to him again, with a smile on his lips and smoke in his eyes: "Prince Song is in such a good mood, he has taken care of this palace like this. ...During this period of time, have you studied a different kind of new song?" Still did not change the warm homely tune just now, and his posture was also leisurely and contented, as if there was nothing unusual about it.

But Li Chengqi understood Princess Taiping's character, and even more insight into her intentions.After going back and forth, a faint guess grew in his heart, and he kept that thought: "Auntie's joke has become a tool!" His face was as humble as before, and he looked like a junior, "If you talk about it, Auntie's princess mansion is the only one!" It is a magnificent and magnificent place, but Xiao Wang is just taking care of the mansion with such a mind close to nature, how dare he show his humbleness in front of his aunt!" It is also a homely tune.But there is something in the words, he deliberately emphasized "close to nature", which somewhat conveyed that he didn't like court disputes and only wanted to live a peaceful life.

Taiping heard the meaning of Chengqi's words, and she kept it silent: "Look, how can such an elegant and extraordinary person like King Song be comparable to us, a mortal who eats five grains?" His eyes sank, and Xu Xuran smiled with a different meaning, "Among the children of the Li family, there are really few people like Song Wang, so it's better to be a role model to attract everyone to learn from!"

Cheng Qi was shocked!If you continue to say this, it will definitely involve the establishment of the crown prince...

Sure enough, he guessed right, the aunt came here for the matter of the prince.What kind of thought does she want to convey to herself?Is she trying to persuade him to give up, or... her favorite candidate for the crown prince is actually him, and she wants to push him to the throne?

Cheng Qi tilted his head, thinking that no matter what, he was unwilling to go into this troubled water, and he could vaguely smell some peace of mind... Aunt is not satisfied with the rich rights now, she wants to get more Right, she wants to control him.

How can I be so easy to control myself?

"Aunt said that, it's really a trick!" He pretended to be puzzled, and decided to pretend to be confused.While holding a cup of fragrant tea, he took a sip, his face was relaxed and indifferent, and his voice was light and light, "I usually like to be quiet and hate to move, so I only indulge in these snowy moons, windy flowers, Drum music is natural. But ah, I dare not claim to be the best, there are many people who know music and music among us brothers, and each has its own merits when talking about Taoism." Bian Wei Taiping filled a cup of tea, respectfully and following the trend She passed it in front of her, "For example, the third brother's Jiegu, it can be said to be in the state of perfection, no one can match it!"

Taiping was slightly settled, so Li Chengqi calmly put Li Longji up for comparison, and pushed Longji out of humility. Although it seemed to only talk about the rhythm, it actually had a deep meaning... She immediately took over Chengqi Taking a sip of the teacup handed over, I slowly gathered my mind.

It seems that Song Wang in front of him is determined to pretend to be deaf and dumb?But her purpose for this encounter is already clear, and she really doesn't want to continue talking about his riddles and going around in circles... If she continues to go around like this, this kid will avoid all the sharp points, and she really doesn't know what to do. When will it be delayed!It's better to be straightforward!

With a little concentration in his mind, Taiping suddenly put away the vain smile on his face, and simply picked the topic straight to the point: "Chengqi, my aunt knows you are a smart person, and she doesn't want to go around with your hypocrisy and deceitfulness." Stop!" Her voice and expression suddenly became solemn, and her eyes turned into two sharp blades that pierced directly, "The crown prince is the foundation of the country, and the position of the crown prince is still pending. As your majesty's son and eldest son, your ancestors The law has long been determined, and the unique candidate for the position of crown prince must be you, the eldest son!" The voice shuddered, and when the tone rose, the narrow and long phoenix eyes suddenly shone with light and shadow!
