The Grand Princess

Chapter 34: Luoshen

Su Ronghua shouted, which made Su Rongqing regain his senses. Su Rongqing raised her hand, knelt down respectfully and calmly, and met Li Rong: "Weichen Su Rongqing, I have seen your Highness."

Li Rong nodded and raised her hand. Next to Jing Mei Jinglan, she let go of Changle. Mother Si Zheng also stood aside. Li Rong turned her head to look at the two brothers of the Su family, and wondered: "Why the two adults? Here?"

It stands to reason that people from the outer palace are not allowed to enter. Why are these two brothers here?

"Return to Your Majesty," Su Ronghua spoke first, with a respectful appearance. "The two ministers were ordered by His Majesty to teach His Majesty Su. They go to school here every afternoon. They will come here earlier on weekdays. Here."

It is not surprising that Li Rong heard this. Su Ronghua was Su Wang's teacher in his last life, and because of this relationship, when Su Wang rebelled, he said something to Su Wang and angered Li Chuan. It's just that she didn't know that earlier, Su Rongqing had also served as Su Wang teacher.

The significance of using the Su family as Li Chun’s teacher is very obvious. Xiao Rou’s status is ordinary. If King Su is to be supported in the court and contend with the queen, enough party members must be cultivated. Now Li Ming has placed Xiao Ping in the northwest. To give King Su the right to support the soldiers and let the Su family be his teachers was to win the support of the family. The imperial examination system was opened five years ago, and the poor were flooded into the court. Although the number was small and the official position was very low, in time, it was also at that time. A new force in the middle school, these unfamiliar people naturally have a good impression of similarly born leaders like Roufei. In the same situation, they will give priority to Roufei.

In order to pave the way for King Su, Li Ming could be said to have worked hard, and the core of such a time-consuming paving is probably what Li Ming thinks...

Long live myself.

Li Rong was a little helpless. If Li Ming knew that he was going to die in three years, maybe he wouldn't be so frustrated.

But if Li Ming knew he was going to die in three years, maybe... he wouldn't use such a gradual approach.

Li Rong's thoughts turned slightly, and she just nodded slightly to Su Ronghua and Su Rongqing, and said to the **** next to her: "Since it is afternoon, the two adults have arrived early, so let's go to other places to rest first."

"Yes."

After the two of them responded, they got up and led them down. As soon as they left, Li Rong looked up and saw that Hua Le's face was still a little pale. When Chang Le saw her looking over, he immediately spoke. Li Rong directly Said: "I have to hold your mouth to give up today?"

Hearing this, Changle froze. She knew that Li Rong would really hold her mouth today. Li Rong looked down at the Buddhist scriptures and said calmly: "Mother Si Zheng, I am going to give a lecture to other sisters."

When Madam Si Zheng heard this, she respectfully responded and made a "please" gesture towards the two princesses of Changle Huale. Chang Le flicked his sleeves and rushed out.

Li Rong turned her head and looked at the little princesses who were obviously frightened and said, "Sisters, come, let's recite them first."

The two leading elder sisters were all cleaned up, and the little princess was scared and trembling, lining up like a bunch of small carrots in a vegetable field, and quickly bowed her head and started chanting.

The sound of the children chanting in unison came all the way from the water pavilion, accompanied by the singing of insects and birds in summer, Li Rong fanned in the morning breeze and looked down at the Buddhist scriptures.

"If I smell it, everything will do, like a dream bubble..."

Listening to the sound of chanting, Li Rong raised her head inadvertently, and saw the Su brothers sitting in front of him in the long pavilion not far away.

Su Ronghua sat in a daunting manner, moved a lot, smiled and slapped his knees. There was no etiquette at all, but he was indeed an alien from the Su family.

And Su Rongqing sat upright opposite him, her expression continued to be calm. Although her manners were impeccable, she was a little different from usual. It was a relaxed posture that Li Rong had never seen before. Even if she looked from a distance, she could only outline it. A figure can feel that person's gentle and gentle attitude.

Li Rong watched quietly and listened to the chanting of the Buddhist scriptures. For a moment, she was in a trance, as if she had a dream in the cycle of reincarnation, and she dreamed of a boy.

She couldn't take it back, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended to listen carefully. At this moment, a notice came from outside, whispering: "Your Highness, Your Majesty."

When Li Rong heard this, she hurriedly got up and led the little princesses out of the water pavilion.

Li Ming took Pei Wenxuan and stood at the door. When Li Rong saw Pei Wenxuan, she was a little surprised. He saluted Li Ming first, and then said: "What wind blows my father?"

"I'm hanging out with Pei Aiqing in the imperial garden, talking about something," Li Ming raised his finger to Pei Wenxuan, then looked at the waterside pavilion and said, "I can hear the sound of your book, so come and have a look."

"How long have you been here?"

Li Rong walked out with Li Ming and ordered Jinglan to guard the princesses. Li Ming thought for a while, "It won't be long before you go into a daze."

Hearing this, Li Rong was shocked. She didn't know if Li Ming saw her watching Su Rongqing, but she didn't show it on her face. She just smiled and said, "I've been here for so long.

"These children are very naughty on weekdays," Li Ming smiled, "You actually treated them submissively today."

"I didn't care much before. I thought that there were nanny in the palace, and Empress Rou concubine came to ask me to discipline them. I was still thinking about what I should care about." Li Rong raised her hand and held her hair behind her ears. Elegant, with a gentle voice, "But I realized after I saw it today that Empress Rou concubine also has troubles. It's all about children, and the empress sometimes can't handle it. If it's not as good as my sister, I should have come earlier."

Although these remarks are sympathetic to the concubine Roux, when heard in the ears of others, they are alluding to the concubine Roux's carelessness.

Concubine Rou was not strictly disciplined, which naturally reminds people of her origin. Li Ming remained silent, seeming to think.

Li Ming secretly glanced at Pei Wenxuan who was behind her, but didn't know what Pei Wenxuan was thinking, his expression was erratic, and he didn't listen to them at all.

Li Rong accompanied Li Ming for two laps. Li Ming told her to leave first. Li Rong saluted Li Ming and listened to Li Ming said: "Pingle, you don't have to say more than Master Pei if you leave?"

Li Rong seemed embarrassed to laugh, she pursed her lips, and saluted Pei Wenxuan, "Master Pei has a good journey."

Pei Wenxuan's face was calm, and he bowed to Li Rong.

Li Rong couldn't help but feel a little strange. At this time, Pei Wenxuan would at least wink her eyebrows.

She couldn't help but feel a little worried, wondering if Li Ming said something to Pei Wenxuan.

After leaving school, Li Rong sent a letter to ask about the day. Pei Wenxuan returned only two words: "Nothing."

Incidentally, there are a pile of bills.

Li Rong gasped at the speed at which Pei Wenxuan spent the money, and felt strange that there was nothing wrong.

She hurriedly replied to the past, and the letter from Pei Wenxuan came back on the second day. It was a little more normal. It was about:

"The money is like flowing water, and I am worried."

This is indeed something that Pei Wenxuan has been worrying about all his life, Li Rong relaxes, knowing that nothing has happened, and he doesn't know about the affairs of the government.

With what Li Rong and Li Ming said, before Chang Le went to Li Ming to complain, Li Ming first gave Li Rong a ruler and asked all the princesses to listen carefully to what the eldest sister said, so Changle did not dare to talk to Li. Rong Zhiqi, honestly learns the rules and chants every day.

Li Rong taught these princesses to recite the scriptures, and counted the days when it was about to get married. Under Li Rong's guidance, these princesses were orderly. After finishing ten volumes of scriptures, Li Rong packed up and bound them and sent them to Cining Palace.

The empress dowager was originally from the Shangguan clan, and had a good relationship with Li Rong and the empress, but Li Ming didn't like them being together in these years, so the empress dowager said to the public that she was sick and practiced Buddhism behind closed doors.

Now Li Rong sent some scriptures to her. The Queen Mother had nothing to do with her. But Li Ming’s reward soon came down. I heard that the Queen Mother was in a physical condition, and she was much better after receiving the scriptures. After Li Ming heard about it, she felt Rong was very filial, so she praised Li Rong.

But he not only rewarded Li Rong, but also specially rewarded Princess Hua Le, saying that she copied the scriptures beautifully, and the Queen Mother liked it very much. It was her sincerity that moved God to make her condition better.

When Li Rong heard this in the palace, she couldn’t stop laughing. What Li Ming probably didn’t know was that Hua Le’s scriptures were not copied by herself at all. It was just the imperial decree. Hua Le could only bite the bullet and pick it up. After that, I knelt down and begged the Bodhisattva in my room, blessing that no one would expose her.

When she was young, Li Rong must have wished to poke the matter out right away, but now she knows that it hurts Huale’s face when it is poke out, but it doesn’t do her much good. It’s better to keep it as a handle. When appropriate, let out the face of Concubine Shan Rou.

In a blink of an eye, it was her last day to teach a few princesses. After getting up early in the morning, she came to the water pavilion early, not wanting that there was no one in the water pavilion. Li Rong turned her head and looked at Jinglan next to her and said: "You Decided that today is the last day?"

When Jinglan heard Li Rong's question, she immediately knew there was a problem. She then said, "Qiufeng is the message."

"Let's check it down."

Li Rong looked up at Jingmei: "You go and inform Master Pei, let him go to the place where he wrote before and wait for me. Then send someone to guard your Majesty's side, see who is going to inform your Majesty, and watch Qiufeng by the way. Up."

Jingmei got the order and immediately retreated. Li Rong and Jinglan were left behind in the waterside. Jinglan said a little anxiously: "His Royal Highness, now we know it is a trap, or we still..."

"It's okay," Li Rong smiled. "The princesses in the harem will not be a big deal, but you can take a look at the people around you. You have to have something to do to see if the people's hearts are not?"

Jinglan was taken aback for a while, and she realized it after a while.

Most of the struggles in this world are not defeated by how clever a strategy is, but by the people around them.

Although Jinglan didn't know why Li Rong trusted her so much, Li Rong spoke, and she waited quietly with Li Rong.

The master and servant blew the wind for a while in the water pavilion, and heard footsteps behind them. Li Rong turned around to see Su Rongqing appear in the courtyard. When he saw Li Rong, he was taken aback. Li Rong didn't expect Su Rongqing to be here. She thought that according to the capabilities of Changle people, she would have to find a guard or something to frame her, but she did not expect Su Rongqing to be recruited?

Li Rong smiled softly: "How did Master Su come here?"

Su Rongqing's face changed drastically, she turned to leave, and listened to Li Rong: "Master Su, don't be in a hurry. Come here first. My palace will give you something."

Seeing Li Rong's calm expression, Su Rongqing stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Highness."

With his back facing the pavilion, Li Rong raised his hand to help him up, and said in a low voice: "Just say that Pei Wenxuan asked you to send me a letter."

Su Rongqing's expression moved slightly, she secretly accepted Li Rong's letter, and at the same time secretly handed a note to Li Rong.

Li Rong took the note, removed the pattern on the side of her gold fan under the sleeve, put the note into the pattern, and restored the lid. Li Rong smiled, raised her hand and pointed out: "Let's go and see Master Pei together."

Su Rongqing responded and walked out with Li Rong. When the two came to the waterside, they heard a loud shout: "You still want to run!"

Li Rong looked up and saw Changle leading Li Ming and others, rushing towards her aggressively. Li Rong pretended to be surprised, and approached Li Ming: "Father..."

"Sister, how can you do this?!"

Chang Le said excitedly: "You are going to marry Master Pei soon, even if Master Su is good, you can't have such a private meeting..."

"Speak carefully!"

Li Rong looked at Changle coldly: "You dignified princess, what are you talking about in the market? Have you forgotten the rules you learned a few days ago?!"

"You are ashamed to tell me the rules?" Chang Le turned his head and looked at Li Ming, "Father, look at her..."

"Pingle," Li Ming frowned as he looked at Li Rong, "what are you and Su Rongqing doing here?"

"Father," Li Rong said in a salute, "Master Su is entrusted by others to give a message to the son."

"Bring you a message, why not just go to your palace to pass it on?"

Li Ming was quite dissatisfied. Li Rong was about to speak when he saw Su Rongqing kneel down and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, this is the fault of the Weichen. It is because the Weichen lectures at the Shuishi in the afternoon, and came to Shuishi early. I heard that the princess usually meets at Shuishi in the morning. The other princesses were playing, so they wanted to be lazy and handed the letter to the princess personally. There are other princesses on weekdays..."

"Master Su is really nonsense," Chang Le interrupted him, "Yesterday, Concubine Rou had suspended everyone from school and asked her to prepare for marriage. What classes are there today?"

"Then does he know?" Li Rong looked directly at Changle, mockingly said, "Couldn't Concubine Rou deliberately go and say hello to Master Su that I am not coming?"

Changle choked, then she immediately reacted: "Then what are you doing?"

"Why, can you not come to the Royal Garden? I miss the friendship with my sister on weekdays, but now I am married, sad, and deliberately come and walk, and I am guilty of encountering Master Su, a large crowd, with a maid, and chatting a few words? "

Li Rong spoke frankly and frankly, and Changle's face turned pale and red, red and white. Changle really couldn't understand how Li Rong and her were so utterly nasty. ?

Li Rong looked at Changle with a smile, and then scanned the surrounding area: "But I am very puzzled. When I meet with Master Su, why do you all come like arresting people? Why did the father come here?"

When Li Ming heard this, he looked at Changle. Changle reacted and said anxiously: "I saw someone next to you handing a note to Su Rongqing inviting him to have a private meeting! Don't believe you search him!"

"Search?" Li Rong smiled, "Daren Su is the minister of the criminal ministry, and when the court minister, you actually want him to search in public for this kind of thing?!"

Li Rong's reminder changed Li Ming's face. He said, "Changle, don't be rude."

"but……"

Changle was eager to speak, and Su Rongqing next to him knelt down first: "Your Majesty, today we are entrusted by Master Pei to deliver a letter to His Royal Highness. Master Pei cannot enter the inner palace, so the weir will give it to him. We are lazy for a while. That’s why such a misunderstanding was caused. The princess’s name is very important, and her Royal Highness asks her to search her body in public to prove her innocence."

After speaking, Su Rongqing looked at Li Rong: "His Royal Highness, please take out Master Pei's letter."

Li Rong sighed, leaning forward and said, "Master Su is implicated."

"Thieves do evil," said Su Rongqing and Li Rong respectfully, with an open expression, "Don't blame the princess."

Hearing this, Chang Le looked at Li Ming and said anxiously: "Father, he himself is willing to be searched!"

Li Ming glanced at Changle with the look of a fool, and finally said: "Su Aiqing is willing to prove her innocence, Fulai, go."

With that, Fulai stepped forward and searched Su Rongqing's body in front of everyone. Li Rong handed in Pei Wenxuan's letter.

Everyone stared at this letter, and even Changle also wrote that it was unbelievable. The most taboo thing about this matter is probably to pass it to Pei Wenxuan. Even if the princess is the daughter of a daughter, but before marriage, he has a private meeting with a foreigner, and other people believe it. It was a chance encounter, and Pei Wenxuan was afraid that he might also have a bump. But if Pei Wenxuan's belief is true, then no one in the world believes that Su Rongqing and Li Rong are in a private meeting.

After all, there is no man in this world who can be relieved to this extent.

Li Ming dubiously accepted the letter and glanced at it. Before he finished reading it, he saw a **** rushing over and whispered: "Your Highness, Master Pei is in the outer palace to see you."

Pei Wenxuan was promoted as a supervisory official because of the Yang family case. Although this position is not high-grade, it is a position with real power. Li Ming also specially gave him a goldfish bag to walk in front of the imperial family. Now he is considered a favorite.

Li Rong's expression moved when she heard Pei Wenxuan's name, Changle was a little surprised, and then Li Ming said, "Bring it in."

After a while, Pei Wenxuan followed the **** in. He walked near the waterside, and from a distance he saw Su Rongqing and Li Rong kneeling and standing. Both of them were calm and relaxed. When they stood there, it seemed like a painting. , Does not fit in with the surroundings.

Pei Wenxuan's footsteps paused slightly, and in an instant, he seemed to see the time coming back, and a scene that was extremely familiar many years ago came up.

At this time, Li Ming turned his head and saw that Pei Wenxuan had arrived, calling out: "Pei Aiqing."

Pei Wenxuan reacted instantly, stepped forward quickly, saluted Li Ming, Li Rong and others, and then got up.

At this time, Su Rongqing also finished his body search. Fu Lai turned around and said to Li Ming: "Back to your Majesty, there is nothing."

"Impossible," Chang Le was anxious, "I obviously..."

"Pei Aiqing," Li Ming raised his eyes to Pei Wenxuan, "Why did you come?"

"Report to your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan respectfully said, "Today I have something to discuss with His Royal Highness, so I asked Master Su to help me pass the letter to the princess. We asked the princess to tell me in front of Xuanwen Pavilion. We waited for a long time, but I didn’t see it. Your Royal Highness came, Weichen guessed that something might happen to His Royal Highness, so he rushed over."

Li Ming raised his head and glanced at the place agreed by Pei Wenxuan in the letter, then he pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Changle: "Changle, when and where did you see the person from Pingle brought a letter to Su Shilang? The person who brought the letter? Do you know?"

"I..." Changle stammered for a moment, and Li Rong said gently, "Yes, sister, you tell me, let's take a look at it slowly, to see who is so foolish to provoke my sister and frame my sister?"

Changle froze.

The more you lie, the harder it is to lie. After Changle stalemate for a long time, he said in an instant: "But, even if it's not Young Master Su, it's Young Master Pei, you shouldn't be so private..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Li Ming couldn't listen anymore, and privately interacting with Su Rongqing and privately with Pei Wenxuan were not a matter of nature at all.

Although there is something wrong about meeting after the engagement, it is not considered a taboo, and Xuanwen Pavilion is not a private meeting place, and Pei Wenxuan's selection of this place is not considered rude.

Moreover, Su Rongqing is not the person Li Ming wants to protect. Pei Wenxuan is different. If Pei Wenxuan's promotion is affected by such things, Li Ming will not be happy.

In addition, Li Ming had already noticed that this incident was probably planned by Changle to frame Li Rong. After further investigation, no one looked good, so he did not entangle, and made a decisive decision: "You are a princess, listen to the villain's slander. Such false accusation to your eldest sister is just a nonsense. You are young, who are you around? Send everyone around you to the Coating Bureau and let Princess Mei come over," Li Ming turned to look at Fulai. "Take Changle back and stay for a full month, so that Concubine Mei can teach her the rules!"

"No, Father..." Chang Le said anxiously, and Li Ming looked at it coldly. Chang Le noticed Li Ming's anger, and immediately did not dare to say anything. He stepped back and whispered, "Yes..."

Li Ming waved his hand irritably, letting people take Changle down.

After Changle left, Li Ming glanced at the three young people, raised his hand to poke Pei Wenxuan's head, quite a bit hateful for iron and steel: "We are about to get married soon, what are you in a hurry!"

Pei Wenxuan hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty calms down, the Weichen also has some details in the Yang family's old case. There are still some details that I want to prove to the princess..."

"Details?" Li Ming looked at Li Rong, then at Pei Wenxuan, and finally said, "I will believe in you. I am not old-fashioned. Your marriage is set. It is not impossible to meet each other. Come here openly, don't I agree?"

When Li Ming said this, he gave Pei Wenxuan a step, and Pei Wenxuan hurriedly said: "It is a petty minister who is narrow, your majesty is a generous monarch, a merciful minister is like a father, and a petty minister is incomprehensible to the holy intentions. Please also punish your majesty.

Pei Wenxuan made Li Ming feel comfortable with a flattering, and Li Rong's goose bumps were about to drop. Li Ming waved his hand and instructed humans: "Okay, Rong Qing and I will go first. This matter is causing Su Aiqing to suffer. You two must thank him well."

"That's natural," Pei Wenxuan saluted Su Rongqing, "Thank you Brother Su for this time."

Su Rongqing looked calmly in reply. Li Ming glanced at Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan who were still standing there. He hesitated for a moment: "Forget it, just talk if you want to talk. Bring more people to avoid people gossiping."

"Yes. Respectfully send your majesty/father." Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong saluted together, and Li Ming waved his hand and left with Su Rongqing.

After the group of people left, Pei Wenxuan turned his head to look at Li Rong, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Will you just walk around, or sit in the waterside pavilion?"

"Sit in the water pavilion, and I'm tired." Li Rong looked tired, Pei Wenxuan nodded, half a metre away from her, raised his hand and said: "His Royal Highness, please."

Li Rong followed his steps back to the water pavilion. It was almost noon, and the cool breeze in the water pavilion was slow. I don't know whether it was the wind or the people, which made Li Rong relax a lot. Pei Wenxuan put someone on a tea set and made tea for her opposite Li Rong.

Pei Wenxuan did not wear official uniforms today, only a blue silk embroidered white plum blouse, with a wooden hairpin half-tied on his head, he was born upright, so he sat down behind the tea table with his eyes down and stared at his hand. The Chinese tea set has a calm look and an elegant and graceful posture. Together with the fragrance of tea and the vaguely rising white smoke, it has a kind of dreamlike beauty.

Li Rong supported her head and looked at Pei Wenxuan, and after a short break, she said: "Master Pei now seems to be well-loved. My father is willing to break the rules for you like this, and I am a little jealous."

"Xiao Ping successfully sat on the position of General Zhenbei and just won the battle." Pei Wenxuan gave Li Rong tea, and his voice was flat, "You are pleased with me, you seem to obey me, and my position seems to be the prince. , In fact, it’s your Majesty. Give me face, you can numb the prince, and at the same time can polish my knife," Pei Wenxuan blew the hot tea, "Why not?"

"The most important thing is Master Pei's flattering skills. After living for most of his life, he has grown a lot. No wonder Chuan'er got closer to you later."

Pei Wen declared this, and paused for a moment. After a while, he said calmly: "Your Majesty is close to me, not because I say good things, but I understand your Majesty, and, your Majesty doesn't know the relationship between you and me. It's better for me because of your face. That's it."

Li Rong heard Pei Wenxuan's answer seriously and suddenly became a little irritable. She waved her hand: "It's nothing, don't say so serious, what's wrong with you today?" Li Rong leaned over, looked at it, and said, "I look unhappy. Look like."

Pei Wenxuan's movements were stiff, and after a while, he raised his head and smiled: "Maybe a little tired, I have to deal with your Majesty during the day, and I have to go to the old ministry at night, solicit them one by one, and have to be busy with your marriage."

"Isn't the ritual department busy with marriage? What are you busy?"

"Of course I have to be busy," Pei Wenxuan said gently, "The palace will send people over to teach some etiquette in the palace and some instructions to take care of you. The imperial doctor has also come several times, although it will not take much time to learn. But it's also a matter."

Hearing this, Li Rong covered half of her face with a fan, and laughed lowly: "Isn't it a bad guy?"

Seeing Li Rong laughed happily, Pei Wenxuan's expression softened: "Fortunately, I have experience. Let me talk about today's affairs," Pei Wenxuan lowered his head, "Changle is asking you for trouble?"

"The little tricks that are not influential, I am afraid that Concubine Roussed it. I was too lazy to toss, just want to clear the people around me and teach Changle a lesson by the way."

"Why did Su Rongqing come?"

Pei Wenxuan took a sip of tea, and Li Rong was also a little strange: "You are right, and I am also surprised. Changle said that someone who saw me gave him a letter, so someone must pretend to be me to give him a letter. He is so smart. Cautious people, can you see that it is a trap? What are you doing in such a hurry?"

"Believe it?"

"Here." Li Rong opened her fan, a little smug, "Unexpectedly?"

"Look at it."

Pei Wen raised his chin, Li Rong opened the mechanism on the fan and pulled out a note from it.

After pulling it out, seeing that it was indeed Li Rong's handwriting above, he wrote a sentence straightforwardly:

Miss Acacia, Xu Qi peach blossoms.

The other sentence that follows is an imitation handwriting, a bit scribbled:

Meet at the water pavilion, not Luoshen

The author has something to say:

【Small Theater 1】

Li Rong: "Explain why you spend so much money recently."

Pei Wenxuan: "I saw you and Su Rongqing in Shuixie, I have a little mood!"
