the next day
In the study room of the Marshal's Mansion, Lin Wanyue sat upright in front of the case, with a blank memorial on the case.
Li Xian stood by Lin Wanyue's side and personally researched ink for Lin Wanyue.
"Okay." Li Xian put down the ink stone in her hand and put down her sleeves.
Lin Wanyue's face flashed a hint of embarrassment. She took the hanging brush, dipped it in ink, and tugged at her sleeve with one hand.
Lin Wanyue looked very serious. When she finished writing the second word on the paper, Li Xian laughed silently.
Lin Wanyue looked at the words she had written, and a trace of annoyance flashed in her heart. She had already worked very hard, but she just couldn't write well.
Fortunately, Li Xian just stood quietly by the side, and did not comment on her handwriting.
Lin Wanyue bit her head and finished writing the memorial, exhaled a sigh of relief, and put down the brush.
After blowing it, he asked, "Princess, do you think it's possible to write this way?"
Li Xian nodded: "It's good to write like this."
When the ink was dry, Lin Wanyue sealed the memorial and ordered someone to send it to the capital.
Li Xian looked at Lin Wanyue's fidgety appearance, remembered her promise from the past, and said softly, "Consort, if you don't dislike it, how about I teach you how to practice calligraphy?"
Lin Wanyue burst into a big smile: "Thank you princess!"
Li Xian brought a stack of cut rice paper and chose a brush for Lin Wanyue.
When Lin Wanyue was writing the memorial just now, Li Xian didn't pay too much attention to the content of the memorial, but focused on observing Lin Wanyue's posture when writing. She found that Lin Wanyue's wrist was not used correctly when she was writing.
After a detailed explanation, Li Xian asked Lin Wanyue to write on the paper.
Li Xian watched Lin Wanyue write a line again, her eyebrows twitched slightly behind Lin Wanyue, and she placed her slender hand on the back of Lin Wanyue's hand, trying her best to hold it.
In an instant, the faint fragrance emanating from Li Xian's body penetrated into Lin Wanyue's heart.
In her ear, Li Xian's gentle voice came: "Don't force, follow me to write a few words, you remember this feeling on your wrist."
"Um."
The hot air that Li Xian exhaled hit Lin Wanyue's sensitive ears, and Lin Wanyue felt that her whole body was active and restless.
Li Xian's cold hand clenched Lin Wanyue's hand and took Lin Wanyue to write a line of words on the rice paper. Lin Wanyue's eyes kept looking at the words that appeared on the rice paper, envious and surprised: I really wish I could write such a good hand.
Li Xian let go of Lin Wanyue's hand and said, "Relax your wrist. Remember this feeling and write it down."
"En." Lin Wanyue closed her eyes, recalling the feeling just now and Li Xian's explanation.
Lin Wanyue opened her eyes, and under Li Xian's gaze, she lifted the pen again. Just after writing two words, Lin Wanyue's face twitched.
Li Xian raised her eyebrows, took the brush in Lin Wanyue's hand and examined it carefully.
Suddenly, Li Xian suddenly realized, put down the brush: "Consort, show me your hand."
Lin Wanyue spread out her right hand according to her words. Li Xian grabbed Lin Wanyue's hand and squeezed Lin Wanyue's palm and fingers. It felt hard to the touch, and there were very thick calluses on it.
Li Xian finally understood the reason why Lin Wanyue had been unable to write well. Stiff fingers and calluses hindered Lin Wanyue's sense of touch. As a result, Lin Wanyue could not always control the stroke of her pen when she was writing, which is why her writing was so distorted.
Li Xian looked at Lin Wanyue's hand and sighed lightly: How could this look like a girl's hand
Lin Wanyue watched Li Xian hold her hand without speaking, and called out, "Princess?"
Li Xian touched the hard calluses on Lin Wanyue's hand again before letting go of her hand: "Consort, I don't think you should be in a hurry to practice calligraphy."
"Why?" Before Li Xian could answer, Lin Wanyue responded, "It doesn't matter, let's practice later."
Li Xian looked at Lin Wanyue and suddenly realized that she had done too little for Lin Wanyue.
When Lin Wanyue was still a man, Li Xian had never felt this way. Now, Li Xian found that the more she got along with Lin Wanyue, the more she would feel the urge to treat Lin Wanyue better.
Lin Wanyue had integrated strength into her life, and thinking of everything she had endured in the past five years, Li Xian felt even more pity.
After another three days, Li Xian finally agreed to Lin Wanyue wrapping the breast wrap. The latest secret report said: The 20,000 elite soldiers led by King Qi and His Majesty's summoning team will meet at a hundred miles outside of Yangguan City. Coming to the city today.
Lin Wanyue and Li Xian personally welcomed the team into Yangguan City. King Qi Li Zhen not only brought 20,000 elite soldiers to help out, but also brought his famous generals: the unparalleled Hou, who was born in commoner and admired for military merit, Xia Hou Wushuang. .
Besides, after Li Zhao received Li Xian's handwritten letter, he dispatched 2,000 craftsmen, 8,000 migrant workers, and several crossbows at Li Xian's request, escorted by 5,000 Yu Lin Wei.
Li Zhao decreed that the craftsmen and migrant workers should stay in Yangguan City to assist in the defense. After the eldest princess Li Xian received the decree, they would be escorted by 5,000 Yulin guards and take the coffin of King Yong back to Beijing within three days.
In troubled times, everything was simple; after King Qi entered Yangguan City, he voluntarily declined Lin Feixing's proposal to host a banquet.
Lin Wanyue handed over the big crossbow and a group of craftsmen to the two deputy commanders. Bai Ruida and An Chengbi each took the task and led the craftsmen to strengthen the protection of Yangguan New City.
The situation seemed to be developing in favor of Li Guo, and the good news came one after another. The team that had been sent to the hinterland of the grasslands to destroy the Xiongnu's food and grass also returned to the city before sunset. It really was as Li Xian said: It was a success!
Lin Wanyue was overjoyed and called Du Yushu to the coach's tent to inquire about the details.
Inside the side hall of the Marshal's Mansion
"Xiao Ci, ask You Qin to come to see this palace."
"Yes!" Xiaoci stopped packing and walked out.
…
After a while, Xiaoci and Youqin came in together. Youqin walked up to Li Xian and knelt down, "Youqin, see your Highness."
"You take advantage of the darkness to send Roy back tonight."
…
"how?"
"His Royal Highness forgives his sins, and his subordinates feel that Roy should be placed under house arrest as a bargaining chip."
Li Xian hooked her lips and said casually, "It's rare that you are loyal."
"Youqin vows to be loyal to His Highness!"
"This palace has assigned you to the concubine. From now on, you can only be loyal to her, and the concubine's diet is up to you."
"Yes!"
"As for Roy, you send her back."
"Yes!"
"Go down..."
When Youqin left, Xiaoci asked inexplicably, "Your Highness, this servant thinks that Youqin is right, and it is more secure to hold Roy in his hands."
"Xiao Ci, do you know what conditions she offered to negotiate with Mansha this time?"
"The slave does not know."
A gleam of light flashed in Li Xian's eyes, and she said with a half-smile, "Mansha only asked Ben Gong for Roy!"
"what!?"
"Heh... Ben Gong came to Roy, but she didn't say hello to Mansha, and came secretly with her medicine box. Mansha thought that Ben Gong had captured Roy and forced her to submit, and agreed to Ben Gong's request. Are you saying it's fun?"
"Mo... Could it be?"
Li Xian still smiled, "Xiao Ci."
"The servant is here!"
"You say, why do people in the world think that what they can't get is the best, and don't cherish the people in front of them?"
Xiaoci looked at Li Xian in amazement: "This servant feels that His Highness has changed."
"Xiao Ci, Ben Gong has been thinking these days, do you think Ben Gong has done too much to her...?"
Hearing Li Xian's words, Xiaoci was taken aback: She had served Li Xian for so many years, and she asked herself what she knew best about Li Xian's temperament. After Empress Wen Huiduan passed away, the princess did a lot of things, but she had never seen a princess like this!
Xiaoci thought of a possibility, and her face brightened: "Your Highness... Are you interested in the concubine?"
Xiaoci's heart was extremely excited. Their princesses were all good, but they always seemed to be very indifferent when it came to love. Back then, the prince Li Zhong was infatuated with His Highness, but Xiaoci always felt that Li Xian's response was nothing but polite. , When Empress Wen Huiduan was dying, she was always worried about the lifelong happiness of Her Royal Highness!
Xiaoci sometimes wondered: what kind of person would their Royal Highness be tempted by? After the big wedding, Xiaoci found to her dismay that the princess and the concubine were too respectful to each other!
These days, Li Xian's change Xiaoci saw, Xiaoci never thought that the always cautious princess would actually call Roy for her concubine!
Hearing Li Xian say this at this time, Xiaoci could almost be sure that at least His Highness's heartstrings were shaken, but looking at His Highness's appearance at this time, he seemed to be hesitant.
Li Xian was silent for a while, then shook her head and said blankly, "It's too early to talk about temptation... A few days ago... I had to reconsider the possibility of being with her... It's just that there was too much separation between me and her. "
After listening to Li Xian's words, Xiao Ci also fell into silence: She has participated in most of the things that Li Xian has done along the way. Even if many things are done out of necessity, can Lin Feixing accept it
Xiaoci began to feel distressed for Li Xian: who could know the suffering of their highness
Xiao Ci looked at Li Xian, the master she had been with since she was a child, and her heart sank: "Your Highness! Why don't you find a chance to tell the concubine everything!"
Li Xian did not speak, but Xiao Ci gritted her teeth and continued, "Your Highness, have you forgotten what the Empress said to you when she was dying? The foundation of the Eastern Palace is becoming more and more stable, what about you, Your Highness? Why don't you give each other a chance? Over the years, you have endured everything alone, and the slaves feel distressed! Besides... The slaves think that although the slaves are stubborn, they are a good and reasonable person. I believe that even if it is difficult to accept for a while, He will definitely be considerate of His Highness!"
Roy's words echoed in Li Xian's ears: "There is no fire in paper. The only person in this world who can accept the real you is me!"
Li Xian recalled that a few days ago, Lin Wanyue gave her a hug she couldn't help but it was the first time this person had taken the initiative to have intimate contact with her!
Since getting married, this person has been restrained everywhere, and only after his identity was exposed did he have this first intimacy.
I don't hate that hug.
Are you still the same
