When Li Helan heard the words, she immediately became alert, but she didn't dare to show the slightest on her face, and she blinked her big eyes and said coquettishly: "Laner and the concubine are husband and wife, whoever asked this question is not the same. Besides, The concubine is a saw-billed gourd, don't you know about it, Brother Huang?"
Li Qitian smiled and said: "Forget it, I don't know your temper yet? If you think about it, it will be out. If you move to the Concubine's Mansion, if you are not allowed to move in, someone will impeach Ji Lan at the back. Besides, what are you doing? It's a princess, asking people to talk behind your back about your unruly behavior, what kind of words."
"Brother Huang." Li Helan took Li Qitian's hand and swayed coquettishly, "Brother Huang loves Laner! Besides, what do outsiders talk about, where is Laner's happiness or not?"
Li Qitian frowned slightly, pulled Li Helan's hand down, and said solemnly: "Laner! Be obedient! Do you still want people to talk behind their backs that we are the emperor of the peasant army and territory?"
Li Helan's heart trembled, and even if he didn't give up, he didn't dare to say a word.
Since the uprising army led by Li Qitian captured Beiji, this kind of talk has never stopped. Even though Dazhou has been founded for four years now, and the old ministers of Beiji have surrendered on the surface, there are still many people behind them talking about them. It's a misnomer.
Li Qitian cares about reputation the most, so now he is very strict about matters in the palace, for fear of giving people more chatter after dinner.
There was an inexplicable sadness in her heart.
The imperial brother who used to love her the most, but now she will not put her preferences first. There are too many things in the emperor's heart, fame, status, power, all are more important than her, her sister is nothing.
This is the emperor's mind, and this is the sorrow of being a princess.
Seeing Li Helan's pitiful expression with his head lowered and speechless, Li Qitian was somewhat unhappy in his heart.
In the end, she is his most beloved sister. He has to use her for some things, but when he can satisfy her, Li Qitian is also willing to give her some compensation.
"Forget it, although it's impractical for you to move to the Concubine's Mansion, I will tell you about Ji Lan from the side. Are you satisfied now?"
Li Helan was stunned when she heard the words, and then her eyes lit up.
As long as Li Qitian is willing to compromise for her, it proves that she has not completely lost the favor of her imperial brother.
"Brother the emperor is so kind to Lan'er!" Li Helan smiled and shook Li Qitian's arm, "As long as the brother-in-law is willing to speak, the concubine will naturally get close to Lan'er. What the brother-in-law says is the imperial decree, if the concubine doesn't listen, the elder brother will Get rid of him!"
"You girl." Li Qitian was amused by Li Helan's appearance, and nodded her forehead, "Just like Ji Concubine so much? Didn't you still like Pang Zhixi before?"
"Where is it?" Li Helan blushed and lowered her head shyly.
She would never dare to say that she also likes Pang Zhixi very much now.
Seeing Li Helan like this, Li Qitian was more sure of Li Helan's feelings for Ji Zeyu.
It's no wonder that she is tempted. Ji Zeyu's appearance, talent, and power are no worse than Pang Xiao. Doesn't a girl of Li Helan's age like a handsome man like Ji Zeyu the most? Since they were already a legitimate husband and wife, she didn't blame her for focusing on others.
But this scene was not what Li Qitian wanted to see.
Li Qitian sighed. When facing Li Helan, he actually felt guilty, but no emotion would delay him from doing serious things.
"Your Majesty, Prince Zhongshun asks to see you." Li Guanwen communicated outside the palace gate.
Li Helan was stunned at first when she heard the words, and then she felt that the unexpected joy had just hit her on the head!
Since that day, she has never had the chance to see Pang Xiao again, and it is not fate that she met here suddenly today
Li Qitian carefully observed Li Helan's expression, and when she saw that she found out in this way, he had a plan in his heart.
It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the plan to arrange for Pang Xiaolai to meet Li Helan today.
Otherwise, Li Helan's mind will be transferred to Ji Zeyu, aren't his previous arrangements all in vain
"Biography." Li Qitian's low voice echoed in the imperial study, pulling back Li Helan's apparently wandering thoughts under the surprise.
The voice fell, and the palace door was pushed open by the inner servant.
Pang Xiao, dressed in a brocade robe with dark purple arrow sleeves and a purple-gold crown on his head, stepped forward with awe and saluted: "Wei Chen, see the Holy One!"
He was born tall and thin, and today's purple arrow-sleeved brocade robes further set off his noble aura, especially the pair of phoenix eyes under the sword eyebrows flying diagonally into the temples, just one glance at Li Helan has made her spirited. upside down.
Li Helan couldn't help thinking in his heart: It's really like not seeing Pang Xiao for a day, and now seeing Pang Xiao, no matter how bad the mood is, it's getting better.
"... Laner!"
When Li Helan heard Li Qitian's voice, she suddenly came back to her senses, raised her eyes to look, and met Li Qitian's impatient eyes, only to realize that she had lost her mind just now.
Li Qitian said again: "What are you thinking? Could it be that you are sick from the cold?"
"Brother Huang, nothing, Lan'er is fine." Li Helan smiled and looked at Pang Xiao, "Brother Xiao has a good arrow sleeve dress today."
Pang Xiao quickly cupped his hands: "I dare not."
Li Helan glanced at Li Qitian quickly, and then said: "We grew up together, didn't we all call it that. Brother Huang won't care, is it Brother Huang?"
Li Helan's coquettish look made Li Qitian feel unhappy again.
He didn't have the heart to investigate why Li Helan was so frivolous. Anyway, he had achieved the goal he should have achieved, so he didn't want to pursue more.
Therefore, Li Qitian smiled very gently, and reprimanded in a not too harsh tone: "Nonsense, how is it better now than before? You have to call Pang Zhixi your prince. Besides, you are married now, and Ji Lan and Pang Zhixi are close friends again. My friend, what would you think if you called Pang Zhixi the same way you used to call him Ji Lan?"
Li Helan's face was blushing, and she was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but peek at Pang Xiao's reaction.
She was not only afraid of seeing boredom on Pang Xiao's face, but also afraid that Pang Xiao would be indifferent.
Naturally she saw the latter.
Pang Xiao stood with his hands down, with a respectful and submissive look, he was unmoved by Li Helan's words, and he didn't take her seriously.
Li Helan's joy at seeing Pang Xiao was completely dissipated by his indifferent attitude.
Seeing the two of them like this, Li Qitian felt a sense of measure in his heart, and said, "Laner goes down, I have something to talk about with Prince Zhongshun."
"Yes." Li Helan should have stepped back, and before going out, she reluctantly glanced at Pang Xiao's tall and handsome back.
Li Qitian watched the door of the imperial study room closed, and said with a smile: "Don't mind, that little girl was arrogantly spoiled by the queen mother, but her heart is not bad."
"Where, if the eldest princess is innocent and pure, why would the minister care?" Pang Xiao replied immediately.
