Chapter 454: Princess, no, you can’t...
The next evening.
The setting sun melts gold and warms the palace walls.
Inside the Tai Chi Hall.
Li Yunqian was dressed in red, holding an arrow in one hand, and wiping the arrow shaft with a quick white cloth in the other - it was obviously very clean, and he was still wiping it.
Hou Zhigang was not here, and if he were, he would not remind him, because anyone who knew Li Yunqian knew that he was just wiping the arrow shaft with his hand, and his mind had already gone elsewhere.
Chu Pingsheng went into seclusion as soon as he returned to Kyoto City. He told the people who came to send gifts that he was not feeling well and was in seclusion to regulate his breathing.
What if it was just an excuse that she didn’t want to see guests, and there was so much commotion in the palace, and the eldest princess, who had always supported Xihu’s son-in-law, was about to be kicked out of Kyoto, and she still ignored it?
Hearing the news that Chu Pingsheng was released from confinement, he also asked the imperial doctor to make a trip. The boy did not refuse this "good offer". When the imperial doctor came back, he told him that Chu Pingsheng's pulse was sometimes steady and weak. , it does seem like he has suffered internal injuries and is showing signs of improvement.
So, the sequelae of Chu Pingsheng’s practice of domineering Qi have appeared?
After the battle in Cangzhou, he received a report from the mission afterwards. He also expressed doubts about the first person under the Grand Master Chu Pingsheng. He was in his early twenties and had the strength to kill the ninth grade like a chicken? Now that I think about it, Chu Pingsheng must have practiced the domineering Qi to make rapid progress.
The same goes for Bai Feng, the great master of Xihu.
Baifeng fought in the upper capital, killing Ku He and Sigu Jian one by one and injuring one, which shocked the world. Imagine if Bai Feng had such strength early on, how could he join forces with him? A deal to hunt down the Grand Master? The most reasonable explanation for the whole thing is that Bai Feng made great progress after practicing his domineering Qi.
The master and the disciple practiced domineering Qi together in order to gain strong fighting power. Now that Chu Pingsheng's body is in trouble, is it still far away that Bai Feng's body is in trouble?
"Bai Feng, Bai Feng, you are heading for your own death."
Click.
His hand was slightly stronger, and the arrow shaft that had been rubbed for a long time broke in the middle.
"Your Majesty."
With scattered footsteps, Hou Zhigang walked in from the outside: "The high priest sent a message saying that the distinguished guest has arrived."
The distinguished guest .
Li Yunqian's eyes flashed. Who could be the distinguished guest mentioned by the high priest of Qing Temple?
Temple Messenger.
"Go and arrange the manpower, I'm going to Qingmiao."
"Your Majesty, it's time..."
Li Yunqian glanced sideways.
"Old slave, I obey."
Hou Zhigang realized that he had made a mistake, lowered his head, walked quickly out of the palace and left.
……
Another day passes.
Old and elegant things, drinking tea, listening to the rain, playing the piano, watching lotus flowers, smelling the fragrance, looking at the sea, playing chess, leisurely reading...
Li Yunrui alone holds five of them.
On the bank of Guanshan Lake, in Houyue Pavilion.
The eldest princess of Nanqing, dressed in gauze and half lying on a couch, leans on the guardrail and looks north.
Raindrops drip from the eaves, and as you walk down the steps, the lake in front of you has slight ripples, and the lotus leaves are smoky green.
A musician was sitting next to him, playing the guzheng in his hands. The sound was echoing in the beams, and the incense from the stove was curling up and lightly touching his clothes.
Outside Hou Yueting, in the drizzle, a carriage carrying flowers and the eldest princess's favorite things was parked on the roadside covered with oilcloth. The groom and his attendant maids were waiting in raincoats or holding umbrellas.
"Without the willows in front of the carved saddle door, the jade face is lonely and the flowers are ashamed. The cold wind blows the rain after dusk. The curtain is hooked to cover the Pearl Tower, and the wind and rain replace the flowers."
When Masi comes, someone comes to sit down.
Li Yunrui frowned slightly, turned around and saw her cheap son-in-law wearing a green shirt coming astride a horse.
“Hey, aren’t you in retreat? Why are you here?”
She waved her hand to disperse the cigarette, and the musician playing the piano quickly got up and retreated outside the pavilion.
Chu Pingsheng got off his horse, walked into Hou Yueting, and sat down on the short couch given by the piano master.
Oddly enough, although it was not raining heavily outside, it was still quite wet, but there was no trace of water stains on his green shirt and it was very clean.
“I thought there would be many court officials seeing off the eldest princess.”
“You are enough.”
She straightened up, leaned forward, and said close to Chu Pingsheng's face: "On a rainy day, you came so far to see me off, aren't you afraid that the new lady will be jealous?"
"You said Haitang ? How unconfident does she have to be to make my mother-in-law jealous?"
"Ha, hahaha"
Li Yunrui covered her mouth and nose and laughed: "That's why I like to hear it the most. You spoke more beautifully than the musician played a hundred pieces of music."
"This zither is good." He glanced at the guzheng on the stone table and played it twice.
Zheng...
Zheng...
"I can't tell, you can also play the piano?"
"Do you think I was just on the boat on the Liujing River? Are you in love with Miss Qingshang and Sister Yun Sheng?”
Li Yunrui stretched out his slender hand and smoothed his hair that hung down in front of his ears. The black hair on his wrists was white and black. Gotta be tight.
"What do you mean, why did I not agree to it at that time?" She quipped, and then straightened up: "In that case, how about you play me a song as a farewell gift? It's not a waste of time for us. "Sister-in-law."
Chu Pingsheng smiled at her, turned around, and played a tune softly.
Ding...
Ding-ding-dong...
The tone is very soothing and the rhythm is very slow, like rain falling on the eaves, like ripples in the water, and duckweed in the breeze.
The song is over.
"What kind of music is this? Why have I never heard it before?"
Li Yunrui couldn't understand. It was impossible for the palace musicians not to ask for advice and learn the new music on the Liujing River. Sing to the powerful, after all, not every official can ignore his official career and go there to wait for the fireworks and have a good time in the willow alley. "This song is called Daughter's Love."
"Daughter's Love?"
"It is said that thousands of miles away to the west, there is a country with only women, called the Nvnu Kingdom. There is a monk who has a heart for all living beings. He wants to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures through the Nvv Kingdom. At that time, the leader of the Nvv Kingdom fell in love at first sight and wanted to marry the monk Luan Fenghe. Ming, Jin and Se are all good together, but the monk only wanted to worship the Buddha and had no intention of loving. He finally left his daughter and the king and went west, and this song was composed by the daughter of the king. "
Li Yunrui felt sad in his heart, with a look of sorrow on his face, and murmured to himself: "There...is such a country in the world?"
"Ha...hahaha." Chu Pingsheng said with laughter: "You still have it? Do you really believe it? "I lied to you."
"You!"
She suddenly raised her eyebrows, resentful, and grabbed his collar with her hands as white as jade. He said excitedly: "Why don't you kill him... Why don't you kill him!"
This crazy woman was obviously calm and leisurely just now.
"Kill him? Why should I kill him? I haven't had enough fun yet."
"If you don't kill him, he will kill you one day."
< br>Chu Pingsheng held her wrist and slowly pulled it away: "What about the second prince? I heard that in the evidence Fan Xian handed over to Li Yunqian, you have a close relationship with the second prince."
"If I didn’t know that he sent people to ambush you, do you believe it?”
"..."
"If Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu kill you, won't Wan'er want to marry Fan Xian? I'm not that stupid."
"Really? What if? The person I want to kill is Li Yunqian?"
"! !" Li Yunrui was shocked and took a step back, looking at him with shock. Him: "You actually want to...kill...him?"
"One of us will die, but you still can't figure it out until now?" Chu Pingsheng said with a smile: "Li Yunqian made several orders to the Ye family, but Ye Liuyun ignored them. He... was held down by you. Right?”
“How did you know about this?”
“If there is anyone in the world who can grasp Ye Liuyun’s whereabouts, it’s you, the eldest princess. He is also a big sponsor of the Junshan Society. I am curious, how did you convince him to become a turtle?"
After a while, Li Yunrui said quietly: "That was before, in the past. After your master killed Ye Wan, he was no longer there."
"So he is in Kyoto now?"
"I don't know."
"I don't know or don't want to say."
"I really don't know."
Chu Pingsheng hooked her chin and raised it: "Mother-in-law , you are stumbling upon Li Yunqian, but at the same time you don’t want to see him fall. This is really contradictory. It is said that women have deep hearts. You... shouldn’t like him?”
“I don’t. Know what you are talking about.”
"No, you know, otherwise how could Lin Ruofu describe you as a lunatic, or how could you regard Li Chengqian as his substitute?" Chu Pingsheng tapped her red lips with his thumb: "Pretty face, is it fun?"
Li Yunrui felt like his head was going to explode, and he took another step back. His calves hit the edge of the couch, and with a groan, he fell down on it, revealing the seductive curves of his skirt.
How does he...how does he know all these things?
"Let's go." Chu Pingsheng said lazily, stretched his waist lazily, moved his neck, and walked out of the pavilion.
“Where to go?”
"Go back to Kyoto."
"I have been expelled from Kyoto by His Majesty."
"His holy edict is nothing in front of me."
Chu Pingsheng got on his horse. , looked at the north and said: "Your Majesty, too. The eldest son is going to marry the eldest princess of Northern Qi tomorrow. Isn't it too ruthless to drive his aunt to the fiefdom at this time? The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty did not say anything to stop them. Lin Ruofu and Qin Why did the two grandsons take the lead? I have to explain to them tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he turned around and winked at her: "Do you want to see Li Yunqian looking so angry?"
Li Yunrui stood under the pavilion, and the water on the eaves fell on her head drop by drop, soaking her long hair, which was undressed and tied behind her head.
Crack.
Crack.
The drizzle began to get heavier, and the lotus leaves in the lake trembled wildly, and then infected her.
"Hehe...hehehe...heheheha...hehehehe..."
She suddenly burst out laughing, her branches trembling with laughter. This scene made the servants standing around the vehicle curious, but they did not dare to say anything.
Li Yunrui didn't even look at them. Braving the increasing rain, he ran to Chu Pingsheng, let him pull him up by the hand, and sat in his arms with his skirt flying, resting his head on it. Look carefully at the man's chest with a hint of rain and mist on his eyebrows.
The horse neighed and headed north, looking towards the capital city.
The coachman and the maidservants looked at each other, wondering what was going on. Can they still go to the Xinyang fiefdom?
An hour later.
Li Yunrui stood in front of the mansion that originally belonged to Princess Ningyang and now has a plaque with the name "Chu Mansion" hanging on it.
While she was running fast, the rain wet her dress, but she didn't care at all and stared at the plaque blankly.
"I didn't expect that this house... was actually built for me."
Li Yunqian expelled her from Kyoto, so naturally Guangxin Palace could not live there.
Chu Pingsheng glanced at the second floor of Jingxuan in the backyard of the Ministry of War Minister's Mansion across the street, smiled coldly, handed the horse into the hands of the servant, and walked to Li Yunrui.
"Go in and change your clothes first."
"Are you sure that Northern Qi saint will not cause jealousy? That's also..." She said with a half-smile: "Who in the entire Kyoto city is not jealous?" Knowing that Grandmaster Xihu’s apprentice is a lecherous mountain king.”
“…”
Chu Pingsheng was too lazy to pay attention to her and walked to the house first.
“Don’t you wonder how I convinced myself to come back with you?”
"How did you convince me?"
"If he dies, the emperor is my son-in-law. If you die, the emperor is my brother. Anyway, I can't get either of them, so I won't get either." "Help, wouldn't it be nice to just sit and watch the show?"
"You are indeed a madman"
