Yipin Tang

Chapter 220 Li Er Husband and Wife Join Forces, Wang Xiang Dies Alone

As soon as Wang Xiang entered the Lizheng Hall, he saw Li Er and Empress Changsun sitting around an exquisite small hot pot. The dishes next to the hot pot contained the most tender slices of lamb and yak meat, as well as high-grade vegetables such as fungus and mushrooms. , the quantity is not much, but they are all in good condition, very fresh, it looks like they have just been picked from the greenhouse and cleaned.

Because of Wang Xiang's suggestion, the Legislative Hall has long banned the burning of sandalwood and the like, and just ordered a small stove for warmth.

The little si had just had enough to eat, and was led by the maid to play in the side hall. She was wearing a small woolen sweater, and her face was pink and cute.

Seeing Wang Xiang coming in, she called out sweetly: "Wang Jiancheng."

Although Wang Xiang already has a higher official position and title, for some reason, the little ghosts of Li's family still like to call him Wang Jiancheng, perhaps because of the influence of that little ghost Li Zhi, he said that he is used to calling him like this , shouting fluently.

Of course Wang Xiang didn't care about a title, since the imperial chef in the palace learned to make all kinds of exquisite snacks from Aunt Lin, Xiao Sizi finally didn't like sour fruit so much.

He took a soft and delicious snack from Xiao Sizi and put it into his mouth, made an exaggerated delicious expression, Xiao Sizi ran back to play with the maid with a "giggle" smile.

"Your Majesty, Empress Empress."

Wang Xiang bowed to Li Er and Empress Changsun.

Li Er waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be polite here, have you eaten yet?"

Just as Wang Xiang was about to answer, Li Er said calmly: "Today, I don't have many dishes to prepare."

Depend on!Then why do you ask me if I ate or not?I invented the hot pot, I invented the greenhouse, I will be rare for your fungus and shiitake mushrooms?I really want to say no to see how you will react!
"Just came from dinner."

Li Er didn't seem to notice Wang Xiang's twitching mouth and nodded, "That's good."

Wang Xiang became even more speechless when he heard the words, can you be more subtle...

In fact, Li Er is not stingy, if he eats alone, he doesn't mind letting Wang Xiang accompany him to shabu-shabu hot pot and have a drink or two, but he doesn't want others to get involved in the warm little hot pot with Empress Changsun.

"Chen Gui, bring a stool for Marquis Jiayuan."

When Wang Xiang thanked En and sat down, Li Er pretended not to understand and asked, "Why did Zixin come so late?"

Youshi is really not early for the ancients. The common people are ready to go to bed after eating and resting in Youshi. The sleep time is much more than that of the hard-working office workers in later generations. Therefore, after coming to Datang, Wang Xiang always felt that the ancients were actually I'm pretty lazy, I have to sleep more than ten hours a day, no wonder I only eat two meals a day.

But now is not the time to make complaints about this, Wang Xiang thought about it secretly, first he expressed his gratitude to Li Er for conferring little loli and Wu Shun, in which he also faintly revealed his neglected resentment, this The resentment was directly ignored by Li Er.

"Since that girl won a reputation for Datang at the court meeting, I will naturally not treat her badly. Did Zixin come to the palace specially to thank her for this?"

Seeing that Li Er didn't mention the marriage at all, Wang Xiang then bit the bullet and said: "I heard that many foreign countries have sent princes over for this grand court meeting."

"It seems to be the same thing. In previous years, we didn't see Fanbang sending princes here. This year is really weird."

Pretend, you continue to pretend, Li Zhi said that you have already canonized several princesses, and pretended to be puzzled.Wang Xiang gritted his teeth and despised Li Er, but he was helpless.

"Then, does your majesty know why Fanbang sent the prince to attend the court meeting?"

"This is..."

Li Er continued to pretend to be confused, and the empress Changsun pretended to think for a moment and said: "Generally speaking, Fanbang sends princes and princesses to pay homage mostly for the sake of marriage."

"Yes!" Li Eryi slapped his thigh and suddenly realized.

"What the queen said seems to be the case."

Seeing their husband and wife singing and playing the double-reed double reed full of loopholes, Wang Xiang burst into tears. Do I look silly...

Li Er asked Wang Xiang "curiously", "Why is Zixin so concerned about this matter?"

"Concern? Why would I care about this?" Wang Xiang said with a laugh: "Fanbang wants to get married with Datang, and the prince of Fanbang is naturally compatible with the princess or princess of Datang. Those are all royal blood. Even if a woman from an ordinary family is canonized as a princess, she won’t be able to catch their eyes. The girl in our family is so overjoyed when she is canonized as a Ruyi princess, she really thinks that she will become a phoenix when she flies on a branch. What does she matter, don't you say, Your Majesty?"

Li Er and Empress Changsun looked at each other in astonishment when they heard the words, obviously they didn't expect Wang Xiang to say that.

Of course, Li Er would not be fooled by Wang Xiang's haha, he frowned and said solemnly: "Presumptuous, is it a joke to confer the princess, since I decree to confer the princess Ruyi, then she is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and she is no different from other princesses." Second, you can't say such disrespectful words in the future, otherwise I will punish you."

"Sure?"

Wang Xiang looked "surprised".

"I don't seem to have seen anything about the establishment of the princess mansion in the imperial decree."

Li Er coughed dryly and said, "That's because I was negligent for a while, and later I asked someone to help Princess Ruyi set up a princess mansion in Chang'an."

you are vicious!
Seeing Li Er's evasiveness, and even admitting his "negligence", Wang Xiang knew that he was not his opponent, and besides, there was an extremely shrewd Empress Changsun to help him.

"Your Majesty, let me just say it straight, do you plan to marry Princess Ruyi to Fanbang?"

Li Er didn't expect Wang Xiang to show his cards so quickly and asked directly, and blurted out: "Why did Zixin ask such a question? Why did I want to marry Princess Ruyi to Fanbang?" Li Er also felt that such a thing as a marriage is not an honorable thing. , naturally not confident.

"Then Your Majesty won't marry Princess Ruyi to Fanbang?" Wang Xiang asked quickly, with a cunning flash in his eyes.

"I……"

"Cough cough..."

Li Er was about to blurt out, but Empress Changsun coughed twice in a very timely "qi attack".

Li Er was startled when he heard Empress Changsun coughing, and he didn't care about talking to Wang Xiang, he turned his head to look at Empress Changsun with concern, and was relieved when he saw that her expression was normal.

Seeing the smile in the corner of Empress Changsun's eyes, Li Er suddenly realized that she was deliberately pretending to have a gas attack and coughing to remind him not to fall for Prince Xin's tricks.Just now I was really going to blurt out, "Of course I won't marry Princess Ruyi to Fanbang", if I really said that, then Wang Zixin will say "no joke", and he will be able to retire.

What a cunning Wang Zixin, he actually forced Guanyin's maidservant to pretend to have a gas attack to remind me!
