Chapter 2264 Bewitching
Not far away from the entrance of the palace, Princess Jin stood on the white marble steps in a crimson palace dress. She had a graceful figure and beautiful face. Her clear eyes were looking at the figure on the rocking chair under the big locust tree, which was already full of moisture.
Repelling the maids who were following him, he stepped forward lightly, walked to the side of the rocking chair and squatted down. His youthful and graceful body curved a graceful arc, holding the palm of King Li Zhi of Jin Dynasty and placing it against his smooth and jade-like face. On the child, whirling gently...
She is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who has not experienced too many ups and downs in life. How can she have more words and insights to comfort her husband?
However, seeing this handsome and noble man depressed and depressed in front of him made his heart hurt like a knife.
She can only express her love and worries in this intimate way...
Feeling the new smoothness and warmth from his palms, Li Zhi withdrew his gaze from the vast sky, turned his head slightly, and saw his wife's beautiful profile and eyes like water cut.
And the tears that slowly flowed out...
Gently wiping away the tears hanging on the delicate skin with his fingertips, Li Zhi chuckled and said: "You are a mother and you should be strong. Why are you still so sentimental, tender and delicate?"
Princess Jin sniffed the beautiful scenery and said softly: "I am not delicate! I am willing to be with Your Highness, even if the sky falls and the earth falls, even if the Yellow River rolls back, we will join hands and never leave!"
Li Zhi caressed her face lovingly, and said softly: "What nonsense are you talking about? The sky is falling, the earth is falling, and the river is flowing backwards... I am the prince, a noble man in the sky. Marry me for the rest of your life." She only enjoys endless glory and wealth, but she seems to be going into battle to kill the enemy. What a silly girl.”
Princess Jin refused and said: "I am not a stupid girl! I know that Your Highness feels wronged, and even more aware of His misery. I will enter the palace tomorrow, even if I am kneeling outside the Tai Chi Hall, I will ask for the grace of my father. amnesty Spare Your Highness the crime of being imprisoned! These things were clearly caused by Duke Zhao, so why is it unfair for His Highness to suffer such a lonely punishment when he is so happy now?"
The Wang family in Taiyuan has a long history, and there have been many outstanding people in the past dynasties. Even a woman has a kind of aura of dignity revealed in her low-key and calm manner, which makes women not inferior to men.
However, Li Zhi's smile faded, and he slowly withdrew his hand and said: "My father, the Emperor, who shines brightly for thousands of miles, is an eternal sage. You can actually slander him at will? Never say such words again in the future."
"I..."
Princess Jin's heart trembled. She knew she had said something wrong and was about to explain. Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her. When she looked back, she saw a chamberlain running towards her quickly. She looked slightly excited and said loudly: "Your Highness, Duke Zhao is here." Visiting, asking to see you outside the door! ”
Jin Wang Li Zhi's face turned gloomy for a moment, and he stared at the servant without saying a word.
Princess Jin raised her eyebrows and said displeasedly: "Doesn't he think he has done enough harm to His Highness? When he went out to reply, he said that His Highness was unwell and would not be able to receive guests."
In the past, she regarded Changsun Wuji as Huo Zimeng who could assist the King of Jin in ascending to the throne. She had high hopes for him and regarded him as the humerus of the King of Jin. However, after King Jin was imprisoned by His Majesty, Princess Jin immediately poured out all her grievances and resentments on Changsun Wuji.
If it weren't for Changsun Wuji's unfavorable conduct and impeding the King of Jin, why would the King of Jin, who was so favored by His Majesty, be imprisoned?
Li Zhi glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Guogong is my uncle's uncle. He is connected by blood. How can I not see him? If word spread, I am afraid that he will be accused of being unkind and unfilial to his elders."
Princess Jin was submissive and did not dare to answer.
Li Zhi then looked at the chamberlain and said calmly: "Go out and send a message and ask Duke Zhao to come to the house to meet you. Then you go to Zhaoling on Jiuwei Mountain to clean the shrine and serve the pines and cypresses for your mother."
The chamberlain was stunned for a moment, and then he knelt down, crying and begging: "Your Highness, please spare this slave!"
Li Zhi looked determined: "Get out!"
As a domestic servant in the Jin Palace, he responded with joy and hope to Duke Zhao's visit. What does this mean?
It shows that these people are not satisfied with the status quo, and even have resentment. Once this kind of mentality takes root, it is very likely that they will do something behind his back that they think will help him become the king.
Push him into the abyss of eternal destruction!
How can such people stay by their side if they don’t know how to be patient and don’t know how to advance or retreat?
The waiter didn't dare to say another word and left with heavy steps.
……
In a pavilion not far from the big locust tree, Li Zhi personally boiled water and made tea to entertain Changsun Wuji and his son.
Outside the pavilion is a pond. In the hot summer, the lotus flowers are lush in the pond. The lotus leaves are stacked end to end, covering most of the water surface. The breeze blows, the leaves tremble and sway, and the pond water ripples in circles. There are koi fish swimming among them, wagging their heads and tails.
The wind blows through the pavilion, and the heat suddenly disappears.
Li Zhi carried the black pottery teapot and poured the clear emerald green tea into the two black pottery teacups. Then he pushed the teacups in front of Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong respectively and said with a smile: "I was sitting around drinking tea today when I suddenly noticed that something like black pottery Such simple tea sets can make the true taste of tea more apparent. In the past, we only worshiped luxury, but how could we know this true meaning? ”
Changsun Chong quickly thanked him.
Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, raised his hand to pick up the tea cup, pondered for a moment, and then took a sip.
The tea is boiling hot, but there is not much feeling of heat after entering the stomach. The sweetness left between the lips and teeth makes the whole body feel transparent. It seems that this tea should be drunk in the middle of summer.
Li Zhi smiled at Changsun Chong and said: "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, and I thought I would never meet again in this life, but I didn't expect that my brother actually came to visit today. I am deeply pleased."
Li Zhi was very surprised that Chang Sun Chong appeared here.
But after thinking about it carefully, I felt relieved. Since my father was unwilling to issue even an official document on sea arrests, he naturally wanted to save Chang Sun Chong's life. In this case, as long as Chang Sun Chong didn't swagger around in the Tang Dynasty, , probably no one would look for bad luck on him, and they would have to report his whereabouts to his father and have him punished.
Changsun Chong smiled bitterly: "The guilty man is lingering on his last breath. He should not have stained the lintel of His Highness. But we are cousins after all, so we have to take the liberty to come here and ask for something."
Li Zhiqi said: "I wonder what's wrong with my brother? But it's not because I don't want to help. My brother can also see my current situation. He was imprisoned in this mansion by his father. Although he has everything he needs, he is gone after all. Freedom, I’m afraid it’s powerless.”
I, a imprisoned prince, can sit here and drink tea with you and your son. This is already a great gift from my father. I have no other power at all. How can I help Changsun Chong?
Besides, if there is something in this world that even your father, Changsun Wuji, cannot do, who else can do it except your father?
Changsun Chong remained silent.
Li Zhi then looked at Changsun Wuji to see what medicine the father and son were selling in the gourd.
Changsun Wuji put down his tea cup and asked Wenyan: "How is your Highness doing lately?"
Li Zhi thought for a while and said: "Not good."
Changsun Wuji: "..."
How come today's young people don't follow routines and choke on their words? Can they still have a pleasant chat?
Li Zhi sighed, pointed to the eaves and brackets of the pavilions and pavilions in the garden, and said dejectedly: "Chang'an is too hot, especially in the dog days of summer. It's like a huge stove. Although there is a supply of ice cubes, there is no way to reach it." Get cold The wind is blowing and the rain is drizzling? So I wanted to ask my father for permission to live in the villa in Lishan. After all, it was a prison, but it was still the same wherever I was. But my father refused... …”
Changsun Wuji didn't know what to say.
Your Highness, you are being imprisoned. Since ancient times, it has been a more serious punishment for the royal family than deposing a title. It is just one step away from being removed from the Jade Disk and deposed as a commoner. How big your heart is, and you are still doing it because of the hot weather? Ask the emperor to change the place where you are confined...
However, Changsun Wuji could naturally understand the meaning of these words.
Not only could he hear it, but Changsun Chong could also hear it.
Changsun Chong heard this and said: "Your Highness is your Majesty's prince, a noble man, a man of great talent and a hero of the world. How can you be willing to be imprisoned here for the rest of your life, with your ambitions depressed and drifting with the tide?"
Li Zhiqi said: "Of course I don't want to be trapped here for the rest of my life!"
Changsun Chong just looked happy when he heard Li Zhi continue: "...So I ask my father to change the place for confinement! I don't care about confinement, but the weather is too hot and I can't stand it..."
Changsun Chong: "..."
The scene was very awkward at one point, and we stopped talking while chatting. How could it not be embarrassing?
Li Zhi seemed to feel that he was going a little too far, so he smiled and poured tea for the father and son, and said, "Why did my uncle and brother come here today?"
Changsun Wuji looked at Li Zhi's clear and bright eyes and said solemnly: "Your Highness, are you really planning to spend your time here and all your ambitions go to waste?"
His words and expressions were full of confusion.
Li Zhi was silent.
But in my heart, I wish I could stab Changsun Wuji several times. I have been harmed by you to this extent, and you still refuse to give up. Is it possible that I have to be beheaded by my father before you can give up?
My father has so many sons, don’t drag me to death alone! (End of chapter)
