Chapter 390 We are very familiar, so familiar that I know all your sizes
Everything was calm in the morning.
In the afternoon, an explosive news spread in the streets of Kyoto.
Your Majesty’s marriage partner, Princess Chen’s fiancé, Chu Pingsheng, a visiting scholar from Xihu, slept with Li Li, the former manager of Zuixian Loutou.
This is different from the dandy who covets fireworks, willow alleys, and brothels before getting married. His Majesty had just officially issued the marriage edict, and everyone in the capital city knew that he was going to marry Princess Chen. The boy turned his face and became angry at the beauty, killing the black knights to the point where they fell on their backs.
More importantly, Si Lili is a secret agent of Northern Qi.
While marrying Princess Chen, he is sleeping with a female spy from the Northern Qi Dynasty. What does he want to do?
This...
Where should I put His Majesty’s face, where should I put Princess Chen’s face?
……
Two days later.
Duanwang Mansion.
Dong dong dong dong...
The second prince Li Chengze ran barefoot on the mahogany floor under the corridor, the wind brought by his robe rippled the pink albizia flowers outside the railing , the branches and leaves tremble wildly, the bees and butterflies are frightened.
The floors of other palace corridors are made of bricks and stones, but only in Duanwang Palace, it is made of redwood, which makes it very comfortable to run barefoot.
Xie Bi'an was dancing his sword in the pavilion beside the pond where the red lotus trees were in full bloom. When he saw his master running away like a fool, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Xie Bian, why are you laughing?"
"No, I'm not laughing."
"Besides, you're not smiling, I clearly saw you smiling."
"Oh, I was thinking about the disaster that had happened to His Royal Highness the Prince. I heard that His Majesty knelt in front of the Royal Study until he fainted and ordered someone to carry him back to the East Palace. He couldn't control himself and lost his composure."
"Is that so?"
Li Chengze looked at him suspiciously.
"Your Highness, you ran in such a hurry, what happened?" Xie Bian quickly changed the subject.
“Chu Pingsheng has entered the palace.”
“Does your Majesty know about him and Si Lili?”
"It's the eldest princess who wants to see him."
Li Chengze found his shoes and sat on the steps to put them on while saying: "My father urgently summoned me and the prince to the palace. I heard that Fan Xian and Prime Minister Lin also went. "
"Oh. "
Xie Bian knew why he ran so fast.
“Your Highness, do you know what is going on?”
Li Chengze put on his shoes and stood up, jumped on the wooden floor with his feet together, put his hands in his sleeves, turned and walked towards the gate of the palace, his behavior was solemn and his gait was steady, completely different from before.
"It should be that Prime Minister Lin went to his father to reason with Lin Gong's death."
"Justification? What reason? Wasn't his son killed by Ku He disguised as Sigu Jian?"
Calculating the time, Lin Gong’s death was within a few days of the Queen Mother’s death. The most logical guess now is that Ku He met Lin Gong outside the city and killed him.
"If Ku He's goal was his father, why did he kill Lin Gong in advance to expose his whereabouts? If the palace was prepared, wouldn't it be causing trouble for himself?"
"This..."
"So Mr. Lin suspected that Lin Gong was killed by Chu Pingsheng's master, because if we calculate the time, Bai Feng, the great master of Xihu, was also in Qingguo at that time."
< br>When the shocking sword erupted in Hanguang Palace, Li Chengze suspected that it was Li Yunqian who directed and acted. Later, when he heard that the Empress Dowager died, he was sure that it was not the case.
Xie Bian said: "I know, he was already dissatisfied with the marriage between Lin Wan'er and Chu Pingsheng. The day before yesterday, Chu Pingsheng deposed his retainer and friend Yuan Hongdao in front of everyone, and gave nothing to the future. The father-in-law wanted to save his face, but soon there was a rumor about having a one-night stand with Si Lili, so he took Fan Xian with him to argue with His Majesty?"
"That's right."
"Then why are you calling His Highness into the palace?"
"He Xini."
"He Xini?"
Li Chengze looked at the petals falling down by the night wind in the corner of the corridor. Said: "It seems that I have to fight with the prince. Xie Bian, are you sure that the two tricks you taught me a few days ago will work? I don't want to be beaten black and blue by His Highness."
"Your Highness, Prince ...How can I beat you?”
"I can't beat him."
Li Chengze suddenly stopped, glanced sideways at him, turned around and continued walking forward.
Xie Bian felt that his brain was a bit insufficient.
......
When Prince Li Chengqian and Second Prince Li Chengze were summoned to the palace by Li Yunqian to discuss the marriage of Princess Chen, Chu Pingsheng also met the eldest princess Li Yunrui.
When I revisited my old place, Guangxin Palace still looks the same. Various delicate flowers are inserted in the corners of the room. Although there are many, they are not cluttered. The layers of light green and deep red are progressive, which is very pleasing to the eye.
At this moment, a slender, shiny finger gently scraped the pink petals hanging in front of the crescent moon couch.
"Wan Qiu, please go down."
The female officer pressed her hands on her waist, bowed, turned and walked out of the hall.
Chu Pingsheng looked at the eldest princess who was lying lazily on the couch, holding a white cat with no mottled colors in her arms. He didn't show any courtesy or speak, and wandered around the main hall leisurely. From time to time, he knocked on the exquisite porcelain, touched the beautiful ornaments, and finally picked up the yellow glaze placed on the wooden table opposite the door of the hall. plate, use a toothpick to put the mangoes cut into cubes into your mouth.
"Woo... very sweet, more delicious than the lychees sent by Xin Qiwu."
Li Yunrui looked over with the white cat in her arms, with some curiosity in her eyes, some I can't laugh or cry.
"Then I will ask the people from the Vegetable Inspection Department to send some to the Concierge Court later?"
"Thank you."
Chu Pingsheng's thank you was not sincere at all. His attention was not on the mango, but his scorching eyes were moving back and forth on Li Yunrui's body on the couch, deep and shallow, not so much bold as bold.
“I just don’t know whose mouth the fruit I sent my servant will end up in.”
“Your Highness, you have done a good job in intelligence work.”
Before the palace maid left, she placed a small round stool in the cave. He refused to sit on the stool. He walked to the second step in front of Yue Yue Chang cave, his waist sank, and he sat down with his back to Li Yunrui.
“Aren’t you going to marry Wan’er? His Majesty has just issued an order for you to have a relationship with the singer of Zuixian Tower and the female spy of Northern Qi. Where will this put Wan’er?”
"Hey, let me make it clear first, His Majesty Emperor You and Qing asked me to marry Lin Wan'er. My initial target was you."
"So is this why you don't take Wan'er seriously? Are you using this matter to protest against me and His Majesty? "
"What about you? You, a mother-in-law, are willing to sacrifice your daughter's interests in order to prevent the inner treasure from changing hands, and now you are asking me whether Cherish her, Li Yunrui, don't you think this is shameful?"
"You... are bold!"
Chu Pingsheng turned around and looked at her with a half-smile: "Bold? You almost married me as your wife, and you still want to pretend to be the eldest princess in front of me. Li Yunrui, Li Yunrui, you are both shameful and ridiculous.”
Hiss...
The white cat grinned at him and stretched out its long nails in a threatening gesture.
“Hey, there happens to be a black male cat in the concierge. What kind of kittens will be born if we pair them up? I have wanted to raise one to walk in the snow and look for plum blossoms since I was a child. No. I know if it can work. "
Hiss...
The white cat seemed to understand what he said, and felt humiliated, arching its back and raising its waist, making a fierce look.
"Do you think I'm joking?"
Li Yunrui's eyes blurred, and he didn't even see clearly what he was doing, and the white cat changed hands.
Hiss...
When the white cat realized the danger, he turned over and stretched out his claws to grab Chu Pingsheng's wrist. He whined and heard four consecutive screams. The white cat's four My legs were hanging down and I couldn't move them.
Li Yunrui was anxious, his eyes showing cold stars: "What did you do to it?"
When Late Qiu heard the sound in the palace, he rushed in anxiously and stood on guard beside his master.
"Mimi, you are too careless."
Chu Pingsheng infinitely tenderly stroked the head of the white cat whose eyes were filled with only fear and no more arrogance: "Just right. I have the skill of setting bones. How about I treat your injuries when you get back to the concierge?”
The female officer with the eighth-grade peak combat power looked confused, wondering whether she should marry Chu Pingsheng for a cat? Take action.
Li Yunrui looked at him with a cold face for a while, then slowly changed his expression, waved his hand to let his confidant go, and soon returned to his original smiling face.
"Since you like it, then I will give it to you."
Chu Pingsheng said: "What is it called?"
"It? It has no name."
< br>"Then I'll call you Bai Wuchang from now on."
"Bai Wuchang?"
Chu Pingsheng smiled and did not explain the definition of "Bai Wuchang" to her.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Do you know the purpose of calling you to Guangxin Palace?"
"If it were you, give me a slap after you know about Si Lili, so as not to overdo it. , harming your interests. If it is your majesty, please remind me that tomorrow is my first time to attend the court meeting. If Prime Minister Lin fails to achieve his goal today, is he right? "
"..."
That's right, he was right.
Looking at the white cat that was trembling with fear in his arms and showing no ferocious look at all, Li Yunrui suddenly had a very strange feeling. He didn't know why, but he always felt that his behavior was a bit familiar.
Who does it look like?
"As long as nothing unexpected happens, I promise to let Lin Wan'er be the first wife. Are you satisfied with this?"
"Remember what you said."
Even though the mother and daughter rarely see each other and their relationship is not as close as that of a mother and daughter in an ordinary family, she still has the idea of trying to give her daughter a better marriage while ensuring her own interests.
"It's getting late, it's time for me to leave." Chu Pingsheng stood up, hugged the white cat and walked out. When he approached the palace door, he suddenly stopped.
“There is an old saying in our tribe that a gentleman should not take away what others like. Although I have never considered myself a gentleman, this white cat... I won’t take it for nothing. Let me tell Her Royal Highness the Princess a secret. Fan Xian is Ye Qingmei’s son.”
Fan Xian is...Ye Qingmei’s son?
This news hit Li Yunrui's heart like a heavy hammer, and the idea of getting up to see him off was washed away by a landslide of resentment.
That bitch’s son is still alive? !
No wonder Li Yunqian wanted to marry Lin Waner to Fan Xian. He felt sorry for their son and wanted the treasures to return to their original owners.
If Chu Pingsheng hadn’t driven in like a wedge, she would have been the biggest loser in her daughter’s marriage.
It seems that the emperor’s brother no longer trusts her enough.
Her hands on her hands tightened tighter and tighter, the hatred in the corners of her eyes became thicker and thicker, and the eyeliner drawn by the brush became sharper than a knife.
