Chapter 686
In the large prison of the Ministry of Justice in Youjing, the sun is shining down on the window panes from above.This is considered a rather high-end prison cell in the Ministry of Punishment, with not only mattresses, but also desks and pens.

Four years after the Battle of Taiyuan, Li Yuan's brother Li Xiaoji, who had been captured in Youjing for four years, took a pen from the pen holder after blowing the inkstone until it was frozen.

Looking at the snowflakes outside the window, Lee Xiaoji re-studied the ink, and wrote the seven characters of "Lover will eventually become a family" on a piece of silk paper.

After drying the ink, Li Xiaoji looked at it again, felt that it was not very good, rubbed it off, and picked up a pen to write on another piece of silk paper, writing the words 'a perfect match'.

Li Xiaoji looked at it once, then nodded his beard, showing a satisfied look.

Not long after, Li Xiaoji framed the thing and handed it to a Zhao Guo jailer, saying: "You give this thing to the noble concubine, and say that I, the uncle, congratulate her."

The jailer was full of joy when he heard this, and said: "The noble concubine must be very happy to receive the gift from King Yong'an."

Li Xiaoji smiled and said: "This matter is nothing more than a little effort, my niece is married far away, I am the only relative in this Youjing, but how can there be no congratulations today."

The jailer smiled and said, "Thank you, King Yong'an."

In Youjing City.

In a wine shop.

A young man is sitting at a table, drinking slowly.

The man drank the wine quickly, one cup after another, if it were someone else, he would have poured it long ago.
But the man didn't realize it.

He glanced at the bustling temple fair on the long street, and then at his own face reflected in the wine in his cup, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The people on the side persuaded: "Young master, if you drink, you will get drunk no matter how much you drink. If you have any sad things, you might as well tell them. Although I can't help you, at least it's good for you. It's not like drinking and hurting your health. "

The man looked at the man and nodded, "Thank you for reminding me, uncle."

"Yo, from your accent, son, you are from the east of the river."

"That's right, from Jinzhou."

"Then why did you come here so far?"

The man sighed, looked towards the palace wall in the distance and said: "The woman I love all my life is going to get married soon."

The drinker suddenly showed a dazed expression when he heard this, and said: "So that's the case, but with the young master's talent and appearance, he is a dragon and phoenix among people. If the young master can work hard, maybe he can change the girl's mind."

The man nodded and said: "That's right, I thought the same way, so I came here all the way, just to beg."

"Then why don't you go?"

"Because when I came here, I found that the woman I love all my life has never been in love with me. The person in her heart is far a hundred times heavier than me, Chai. I have been waiting for her in Chang'an for eight years. , but she has been waiting for that person in her heart for eight years."

The drinker sighed and said: "There is no grass in the end of the world. Since this girl has fallen in love with someone else, she can't change her mind no matter what, so the young master should take it easy. Young master, a man does not shed tears lightly." .”

After hearing this, the man wiped the tears from his eyes and said: "What this brother taught me is, yes, at first I thought she had died by the Yellow River, and I regretted it too much. I am willing to do anything."

The drinker heard this and said: "My lord, you are really the most infatuated man in the ages. What kind of woman is worthy of your lord? Be careful, you are still young."

"Because she's worth it." After speaking, the man raised his head and looked north again.

At this time, the long street was even more lively.

Countless people in the wine shop flocked to the side to watch, one person smiled and said: "Today is the joy of His Majesty accepting concubines, and we are also enjoying the happiness of waiting for the common people. There is such a temple fair to watch."

Another person said: "Yes, Your Majesty, you have never forgotten our people, and you are truly enjoying yourself with the people."

"Yes, we can only pray for the harmony between His Majesty and husband."

Hearing this, the drinker couldn't help saying: "My lord, look where there is no fragrant grass in the end of the world, why not enjoy His Majesty's happiness with us today, and I will find a good woman in the future. My son, my son."

When the drinker turned his head, the person who had just been drinking in the restaurant had already left.

In Linshuo Palace.

Early in the morning, the maids and servants cleaned the snow on the ground early.

There was a swishing sound, and the snow was piled up in the corner of the palace wall.

The cold north wind blew past, causing the young girl Zhu Yan to feel a little pain.Palace lanterns with happy characters were pasted everywhere in Linshuo Palace, and the maids and servants were supporting each other, playing and fighting, and the occasional laughter in the palace reduced the severe winter cold.

"There are no rules at all." Jian Xue pursed her lips, closed the window, and said to Li Zhiwan who was combing her hair in front of the window, "Miss, it is said that Yanzhao people are close to Fanyi, and their customs are close to Hu Feng. Look at these servants The court ladies are presumptuous, if they are in Chang'an Palace, if they are so noisy, they must be dragged out and beaten."

Li Zhiwan looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and said to Jian Xue: "However, today is the day I leave the cabinet, so don't say anything else."

"Yes, Miss," Jian Xue said with a smile, "How do you want to tie your hair today? May I tie it here for you?"

Li Zhiwan said: "It can be tied as it used to be."

Jianxue said: "Miss, you don't know, I will tie up my hair in a bun when I leave the pavilion today. You can't dress casually like before."

Li Zhiwan nodded after hearing this and said: "I forgot about this, you can handle it for me. Keep everything simple, didn't you just say, just have a ceremony and hold a small banquet?"

Jianxue said: "Miss, you don't know something, you say it briefly, but the people in the inner court do not dare to be slow, just a dozen of ceremonial clothes are here for you to choose."

Speaking of this, Jian Xue said proudly: "Who doesn't know, Miss, you are the person in His Majesty's heart? Even if Miss, you say it casually, the people below dare not be casual."

Li Zhiwan listened and smiled and said: "This is all you people who love to compare with others and be jealous. I know how much Xiaojiu treats me from the bottom of my heart. As for what outsiders look like, I don't care. As long as there are two husband and wife Get along, like people who drink water and know how warm it is, you just know it from the bottom of your heart, there is no need to pretend that I am favored everywhere in front of outsiders."

Jian Xue pursed her lips and said: "Miss, you don't care what others think, how do you know that we are tight in our hearts. Which Su Miao, I think she is a foxy girl when I was waiting for His Majesty that day, The empress didn't say anything, she was the only one there to show courteousness."

Speaking of this, Jian Xue realized that she had made a slip of the tongue and said: "Miss, I'm just talking casually, in front of His Majesty, don't be angry with him because of this, it will make you appear stingy."

Hearing this, Li Zhiwan smiled and said: "Jianxue, that's difficult, I never hide it from His Majesty."

Speaking of this, the master and servant couldn't help laughing.
