Yipin Tang

Chapter 23 Yue King Li Zhen
Hearing Wang Xiang's scream, Li Chengqian turned around and frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Wang Jiancheng?"

"It's all right, I just twisted my foot accidentally."

Li Chengqian shook his head in dissatisfaction and said, "This official way is quite smooth, how could Wang Jiancheng twist his feet?"

Damn, ask your precious brother, but seeing Li Zhi's begging eyes, Wang Xiang softened his heart and said nonsense, "A bird flew by just now, and I accidentally twisted it while avoiding bird shit."

After moving it a few times, luckily it wasn't serious. Wang Xiang said it was fine and Li Chengqian didn't say much.

Li Zhi on the side laughed and said, "Haha, why did Wang Jiancheng make up such an indecent lie?"

Wang Xiang's face darkened. Seeing that Li Chengqian wasn't paying attention, he pinched Li Zhi's face and smiled fiercely: "You are really my little apple!"

Li Zhi grinned but was not annoyed when he was pinched, and asked curiously: "What is an apple?"

"You don't even know about apples? Apples are..." Thinking about it, there were no apples in the Tang Dynasty. Wang Xiang explained: "Apple is a kind of fruit, round and red, sweet and crispy to eat, um, But Datang doesn’t have it.”

"Then why am I your little apple?" Li Zhi was a curious baby. Before Wang Xiang could answer, he suddenly thought of something and said modestly with embarrassment: "Wang Jiancheng said that I am as cute as an apple." Is it? I'm not as good as you say."

Wang Xiang squinted at Li Zhi, who felt good about himself, and said lightly: "Do you know that Apple has another feature?"

"What characteristics?"

"Uncut."

……

Along the way, Li Zhi didn't mention the matter of Little Lolita again, Wang Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, giving love counseling to King Jin is not a good thing, it might be worse than encouraging King Jin to drink.

Aunt Lin got the news early in the morning that the crown prince and King Jin were going to eat at the mansion tonight, and everything was ready.Although Li Zhi explained to Li Chengqian how to eat hot pot, he was still surprised when he saw the big pot in the middle of the table. The ancient pots were relatively large, similar to the big iron pots used in rural areas in later generations. Putting it on the table takes up almost half of the table top.

"The way of eating hot pot invented by Wang Jiancheng is very heroic."

Wang Xiang chuckled and thought, what is this? You have never seen a more exaggerated eating method in later generations. Compared with the fried rice that can feed hundreds of people, this is nothing.

The three of them sat down separately, and beef bone soup was stewed in the pot. Although the hot pot base hadn't been put in yet, the rich aroma of meat had already begun to overflow. Finally, Li Chengqian didn't bring up the issue of cattle in a bad way this time.

At first, he only heard about the name Wang Zixin from other people. Even if he heard that he did not join King Wei's Literature Museum after he won the first prize in the poetry meeting, he just had a slight liking for him and didn't think too much about it.It wasn't until Li Shimin asked him to go to Sinong Temple to supervise the auspicious things that he knew that the potatoes were actually presented by Wang Xiang. Coupled with Li Zhi's performance, Li Chengqian became more interested in Wang Xiang at this time.After contacting him, he found that Wang Xiang was not submissive in front of him like other people. Even though he was respectful on the surface, he lacked awe in his bones.

Looking at Wang Xiang and Li Chengqian, who talked and laughed freely with Li Zhi, he had a feeling: this person will not be easy in the future.

Seeing that the beef bone soup was almost done, Wang Xiang lifted the lid of the pot and was about to put the prepared hot pot base ingredients in, when Xiaoya ran in with a panicked expression.

"Master, Da Zhu and Er Zhu are fighting outside!"

"What's going on?" Wang Xiang asked depressedly, feeling uneasy about eating.

The little girl lowered her head and said, "I, I don't know either."

Wang Xiang sighed helplessly, Li Zhi said with a smile: "Wang Jiancheng, let's go and have a look, I know how to eat this hot pot."

"Forget it." Wang Xiang went out with the little girl after pleading guilty.

Outside the gate of Lin Chuanhou's mansion, Da Zhu and Er Zhu stood at the door like two door gods. Opposite him was a kid in his teens, dressed either richly or expensively. There were several people dressed as servants lying on the ground, each of them hugged their knees and wailed or hugged their arms and groaned, obviously they were severely beaten by Da Zhu and Er Zhu.

A flirtatious-looking man next to the kid pointed at Dazhu and Erzhu and said angrily, "You are so brave, do you know who is standing in front of you!"

Da Zhu curled his lips and didn't care about his words at all, thinking: Who cares about you, our young master is having dinner with the crown prince and His Royal Highness King Jin, it's possible that your background is bigger than the crown prince and King Jin.

Dazhu's disdainful expression completely angered the brat, and he roared furiously at a servant following behind him: "Go, go to the mansion and gather the prince's personal guards, I'm going to tear down this Linchuanhou mansion!"

Wang Xiang, who was walking to the door, was startled when he heard the second half of the sentence, "Fuck, who is so arrogant, and wants to demolish my Hou Mansion."

When I went out to take a look, I found that the leader was a kid about ten years old, and he was immediately upset: "Which kid, please stop making trouble, your mother is calling you to go home for dinner."

The little ghost didn't know who Wang Xiang was, but seeing him coming out of the Hou's mansion, he knew that he must be from the Hou's mansion, and asked coldly: "Who are you, how do you know that the mother called me home for dinner?"

I rely on, mother?Is this kid still Li Zhi's brother...

Wang Xiang broke out in a cold sweat immediately, the queen's jokes are not to be taken, if Li Er's feelings for the eldest grandson queen don't tear himself apart, it would be considered merciful.Seeing that Da Zhu and Er Zhu were still standing there like gods, Wang Xiang quickly waved at them and said in a low voice: "You go in first." The person who beat the prince is still standing here carelessly is really shocking.

"Cough." After Dazhu and Erzhu reluctantly went in, Wang Xiang coughed dryly, cupped his hands and smiled, "So it's a little prince, and I'm Wang Zixin. I don't know what the little prince is talking about today?"

"You are Wang Zixin!"

The kid didn't speak, but the man next to him, who was more coquettish than a woman, spoke, and he looked at him with unfriendly eyes, and there was a strong resentment in his anger, which made Wang Xiang tremble. .

Wang Xiang was very sure that he didn't know the Yao Nan in front of him.

Nima, it can't be the new taste of the former prince, so that people are coming to the door now.

Just as Wang Xiang was thinking wildly, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, the little ghost spoke.

"Helan Facao, is he the prince who took your wife away?"

Take someone's wife?It turned out that it wasn't what he thought. Wang Xiang heaved a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: Wang Zixin was really a jerk before, and it's not impossible to do something like snatching someone's wife... Wait, Helan Facao?Helan...

Yao Nan said indignantly: "I have even arranged the dowry for the marriage with the wife of the Wu family, but today the brothers of the Wu family came to withdraw the marriage, saying that they were forced by others. After repeated questioning, they revealed that it was Lin Chuanhou's mansion. His new prince forced them to withdraw. His Royal Highness, it’s okay for this prince to humiliate me, but as the law Cao of the Yue Palace, he is humiliating the Yue Palace and humiliating His Royal Highness.”

Wang Xiang opened his mouth into an "O", King Yue?Is this kid Li Shimin's eighth son Yue Wang Li Zhen?And this demon man turned out to be He Lanyueshi, Wu Shun's husband in history!Wang Xiang suddenly felt that he had done a very great thing - saved Wushun.

The demon man spoke with eloquence, and he almost squeezed out two tears. Feeling that Li Zhen was looking at him more and more unkindly, Wang Xiang quickly explained: "His Royal Highness, I and the wife of the Wu family have been together for a long time. How can someone who has engaged in marriage be regarded as stealing someone's wife?"

"Nonsense, when I mentioned the marriage with the brothers of the Wu family, they said that the wife of the Wu family had never engaged in marriage! You are humiliating her!" The angry little eyes and the angry "other" almost scared Wang Xiang to death.

"Helan Facao said so, you still haven't returned his wife to him."

"Why does His Royal Highness Yue believe what he said?" Wang Xiang finally calmed down and asked indignantly.

"He is the Facao of the palace, why don't I trust him?"

Li Zhen's natural look immediately made Wang Xiang burst into tears, this kid is too unprincipled, not as cute as his younger brother at all.

Li Zhi was enjoying sliced ​​mutton in the hall, so he naturally didn't know that Wang Xiang was praising him for being cute.

"Brother Prince, do you think this hot pot is delicious?"

"Well, this way of eating is really fresh. You can eat the food after rinsing it in boiling soup. It has the aroma of the soup without losing the original taste of the food."

Wang Xiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "That is, Lord Helan was deceived by the brothers of the Wu family. The marriage between me and the young lady of the Wu family was arranged by my father when he was still alive, and many people know about it. "

Li Zhen turned to look at Helan Yueshi and asked, "Is that so?"

He Lan Yueshi gritted his teeth and said, "This is just his one-sided opinion."

In fact, He Lanyueshi sent people to investigate after the Wu family brothers went to his house to withdraw their marriage. Naturally, he also knew about Wang Xiang's engagement with Wu Shun, but he didn't want to admit it because it was related to his face.

"Helan Facao said that this is just your side story."

Seeing Li Zhen's expression of distrusting him, Wang Xiang knew that this brat had started to lose his principles again, so he could only say, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Jin also know about this matter."

"Brother Prince and Ninth Brother?" He was a little surprised when Wang Xiang mentioned the prince and Jin Wang Li Zhen.

"Yes, the brothers from the Wu family lied to Lord Helan for the dowry, and did not tell me about the engagement between the wife of the Wu family and me. Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Jin also went to the Wu family with me, and they also knew about it."

Li Zhen nodded seriously and said: "Well, since the prince and the ninth brother also know, it must be that Helan Facao was deceived by the brothers of the Wu family." Turning his head, he glanced at Helan Yueshi and comforted him: "This matter Don’t blame Wang Zixin, let’s forget it, it’s the Wu family brothers, it’s too hateful.”

After comforting He Lanyue Shi Li Zhen asked Wang Xiang: "Where are the prince's elder brother and the ninth younger brother?"

"I'm eating hot pot at my house. I came out to take a look because I heard something happened at the door."

"Hot pot?" Li Zhen said to He Lanyueshi: "You take someone back first, I'm going to find the prince's elder brother and the ninth younger brother."

Now it was Helan Yueshi's turn to burst into tears.

However, he also finally understood why the Wu family brothers would rather offend him than come forward to annul the engagement. It turned out that Wang Xiang was backed by the crown prince and King Jin, and it seemed that this loss would be settled.

Seeing Li Zhen, He Lanyue, and Shi Yaoye who followed Wang Xiang in, a look of hostility appeared on the face, Wang Xiang had no choice but to blame the Wu family for the time being!
