Yutai Bi

Chapter 317 King Teng - The Most Unable to Stay in the World 1
Li Yuanying felt a little complicated when he left Taiji Palace to go to the fiefdom.

There is nostalgia, and there is also joy.Maybe he will never be able to return to Chang'an again in this life, this thought made him suddenly full of affection for Tai Chi Palace.

He boarded the turret of the Drum Tower in the northeast and looked far away at the fief: Teng County, Shandong.Will the small county town thousands of miles away be his second hometown?
The evening wind blew, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a skirt.He didn't look back, and couldn't help smiling.

After waiting for a while, the white cloak tied with small golden beads was thrown at him.Li Yuanying stretched out his hand to catch it, shaking the beads and making a serious face: "Who dares to assassinate this king?"

There was a crisp laughter from the corner, and a hibiscus face appeared: "Your Highness!"

Seeing her, those complicated thoughts disappeared instantly.Li Yuanying looked around, then retreated to the wall and sat down: "How do you know I'm here?"

Wu Cairen carried a rattan basket, sat down beside him with a smile, and slightly raised his mouth: "I just know."

Li Yuanying sniffed: "What delicious food did you bring?"

Wu Cairen took out a jug of wine, a plate of Hubing, and two dishes of side dishes from the rattan basket: "I made the Hubing by myself. It's your favorite stuffed beef."

Li Yuanying picked up a piece of cake and took a deep breath, tore it open, and took a hard bite.Heat came out of the cake, the white cake was baked crispy, and the beef filling was delicious.

Wu Cairen watched him devour a piece of wine, and handed him a glass of wine: "You taught me to brew the wine when I entered the palace."

Li Yuanying took it and drank it in one gulp: "...better than mine."

He looked sideways at her.She is wearing a long bun and tied with two pink ribbons.At the end is a row of pink pearls the size of rice grains, which happen to hang down on the soft cheeks.Her delicate appearance made him reach out impulsively to touch her.He stretched out his hand, and at the moment when she lowered her eyes shyly, she reached out and picked up the jug: "You brewed it yourself, and you will never drink it again."

But she stretched out her hand to press on the flagon, slowly held his hand and closed her eyes.

He watched as she held his hand and moved towards her cheek, losing strength.The back of his hand touched the satin-like smooth skin, and it was cool, but he seemed to touch a red-hot iron, and he shrank back from the heat.

She opened her eyes, their eyes were shining like stars, making it difficult for him to look at each other.

"Tomorrow, you will leave. Are you unwilling to say that you like me?" Wu Cairen said in a low voice.

A fire rushed out of Li Yuanying's heart, making him want to yell.He gritted his teeth and endured, until his heart gradually felt sour.

"There is no one here, don't you even dare to say you like me?" Wu Cairen looked at him and asked loudly.

Li Yuanying turned his head away.

"...Yes. You go to the fief to be your prince. There will be your concubine, side concubine, and concubine in the palace." She muttered and stood up, "When he dies, if I have no heirs, She will be sent to Ganye Temple to be ordained as a nun. If the prince still remembers Meiniang, remember to send someone to take care of her for a while, so that Meiniang's life will be easier."

Li Yuanying raised her head in astonishment, and saw a clear tear dripping down her face.He stretched out his hand subconsciously, and the tear fell into his palm.

She showed a bright smile: "It's my fault. I practiced it specially for you today, and we all have a good life."

He closed his fingers and hid the tear in his heart.

The west wind is getting stronger, the night is getting darker, and there are no lights on the Drum Tower.For some reason, he always remembered her face illuminated by pearls under the shallow moonlight.

He remembered every movement and every look on her face when she left.

She hastily put on her black cloak.Whispered to him to take care.

The slender figure melted into the night, revealing the moon-white skirt while walking.

"I like you." Li Yuanying said softly to the thousands of lights outside the palace wall.The bright lights seemed to spread to the end of the sky, but in his heart, they were never as bright as her face.

14-year-old Li Yuanying met 14-year-old Wu Mei.She was hiding under a clump of peonies and weeping.

"Aren't you a martial artist who bravely tamed the lion for the emperor's brother in the daytime?"

Taizong got a horse and a lion, which no one can tame.The martial arts talents who had just entered the palace became more and more numerous, talking with great eloquence.If you refuse to accept a sentence, you will kill it with a dagger.The royal ministers in the field were in an uproar.

She was startled, wiped her tears and tilted her head to look at him: "You are His Highness Prince Teng?"

"you know me?"

She curled her lips: "Apart from the three princes in the palace, isn't it you?"

"You are so smart, you dare to kill Shizi Cong, and you have won the praise of my imperial brother, who dares to bully you?" Li Yuanying was extremely curious.

But Wu Mei lowered her head: "I want to invite pets, and I want to be different from other palace concubines. The emperor smiles on his face, but he doesn't like it in his heart. I did something wrong."

Tears fell down like an inexhaustible spring.Li Yuanying's heart softened after crying: "I'll tell you a secret..."

Watching her show her head temporarily, watching her accompany the imperial court.The heart is a little bit lost, a little bit of falling.

Brother Huang will let him go to the fiefdom one day.He will leave her one day.He took a step back.Maybe he'll keep backing away until it's not far enough to make him feel bad.

But she boldly approached him, staring starry eyes staring blankly at his footsteps: "I think I like you, Your Highness. You like me too, don't you?"

He heard his heart beating fast, and his blood was throbbing.He watched helplessly as green fingers pressed against his lips: "I don't want to hear what you say. I don't want to hear what I don't want to hear."

He couldn't help but licked his lower lip, touching her delicate fingertips with his tongue.

Wu Mei burst out laughing, turned her head and ran away.The footsteps are light, and the skirt is flying.

far away.

After a long distance, the wind still carried her laughter.

Later Li Yuanying felt that he was really stupid at that time.The foolish ones often go to the emperor's brother, the foolish ones play chess, paint and compose poems with the emperor's brother, and the foolish ones interrupt to discuss current affairs with the ministers.

Jin Wang Li Zhi said: "The emperor's uncle is smarter than the prince's elder brother!"

He couldn't see the haze in the eyes of the emperor's brother, and he couldn't feel the appreciation and surprise of the ministers.Even in his eyes, she was only served by the emperor's brother.

What a fool.

Until she reminded him: "Your Highness, you don't go to the East Palace recently, and you seldom see the Emperor."

It's too late.The prince and the second prince fought for the throne and conspired against each other and were abolished.The emperor did not anger him.Only now did he realize that he had won Brother Huang's chess game, and there was something else in Brother Huang's smile.He stopped talking about current affairs, but Brother Huang took the initiative to show him the notes.

The kindness made him shudder.

Finally, the emperor said kindly to him: "The emperor has been crowned king for a long time, and now he is an adult, it is time to go to fiefdom."

Send him away with a heart that fell to the ground.Another birth sorrow.

He left Chang'an City safely, raised the curtain of the carriage and looked back.I just feel like a bereaved dog fleeing for its life, leaving behind not only the suspicion and disbelief of the imperial brother, but also the woman he fell in love with.

The death knell of Tai Chi Palace finally sounded.

The emperor died, and the new emperor succeeded.All the princes rushed back.

Li Yuanying, with a dull expression, stood in the hall with the princes and ministers to observe the filial piety for the emperor.Repeatedly repeating three words in my heart: "Ganye Temple."

In the past, she mourned that if she entered the Ganye Temple, he would take care of her for a while.

He hurried back to Chang'an and met two people.

One is Kong Qing, the bodyguard he secretly sent back to Chang'an when the emperor was seriously ill.One is the new emperor who has just ascended to the Great Treasure.

Kongqing is quick to do things, and he trusts him.Sending him back is to let him arrange in secret.He couldn't bear Wu Mei, who was as beautiful as a flower, to accompany the green lantern to worship Buddha all his life.

Li Yuanying has full confidence.

Kongqing fulfilled its mission.

"Wu Cairen went to the temple and did not return after carrying water, and found her shoes by the river. I don't know if she is alive or dead." When Kong Qing said this, there was a complicated look in her eyes.

Li Yuanying didn't know that Kong Qing had been ordered by the late emperor at that time, he thought that Kong Qing was worrying for him.After all, it is a felony to steal away the late emperor's talent by feigning death.

But the emperor's brother has passed away, who else will remember the little talent in the palace back then?

King Jin became the emperor, and countless beautiful women would enter the harem to greet him.Even if he knew the military talents who served by the late emperor's side.And she will never pay more attention to her who has been ordained in Ganye Temple.

Ever since he knew that brother Huang was unwell, he started to make arrangements.Chang'an, after meeting the new emperor, maybe he will never be summoned to return.With her, if you don't come back, don't go back. In that palace, apart from her, he has nothing to worry about.

Princess Teng was originally the daughter of the magistrate of Teng County.Not long after he arrived in the fief, her father died of illness, and her mother died young at home, leaving only one concubine.When he went to mourn, he saw her.The body is like a willow, extremely weak.At a glance, you can tell that there is a natural deficiency, so no one has asked for marriage yet.During the funeral, she fainted and vomited blood.His heart moved, and he invited the doctor to have a look.According to the report, this woman will not live long.He wrote to ask for the title of princess.

In those few years, he dismissed that concubine and did not treat her badly.Before leaving, Princess Teng thanked him: "This concubine can win the honor of a princess, and I will die in peace."

It is well known that Princess Teng is unwell.He concealed the news of her death and sealed off the courtyard where she lived in the name of rest.Teng County is his world, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and his arrangements are seamless.

Just waiting for her arrival one day.
