At the entrance of Prince Pei's Mansion, on both sides of the tall vermilion door, stood two men who looked like retainers. They watched an ordinary carriage stop at the door and couldn't help but frown.
The two people driving the car took a look at the grand gate of Prince Na Pei's Mansion. They looked calm and leisurely, obviously knowing where they were coming from.
But as the retainers of King Pei, it was their fault to have a carriage parked at the gate of the house for no reason. So a man watched Hua Meng and Jingzhe jump out of the carriage and walked over quickly. Just as he was about to ask, Then he saw a man and a woman getting off the carriage, served by two coachmen.
When the two men saw the man for the first time, their pupils began to shrink sharply. They knew very well who the man was. Although the woman next to them was not Miss Bai Chun, but someone else, they could still easily Recognizing it at a glance, this was His Highness the Crown Prince, the same Crown Prince who had just beaten King Pei.
"There is no need to report. You can continue with your own affairs. I will go by myself." Li Hong patted the shoulder of one of the men who saluted him and said calmly.
He looked up at the three characters "Prince Pei's Mansion" in gold letters on a black background, and then looked at the bright vermilion door, which looked brand new and bright as if it had just been painted.
"It's really impressive. Is he in there?" Li Hong took two steps forward and walked up the steps and asked.
"Go back to your highness, King Pei is in the palace." The man bowed and glanced at Li Hong's tall back and replied.
"Yes, his face is as swollen as a pig's head. He would be embarrassed to run out, haha..." Li Hong smiled wildly at the door, while the two retainers of Li Xian behind him had their faces turning green and red. Know what to answer.
After Li Hong laughed a few times, he continued walking inside, but he did not go directly to Li Xian's residence. Instead, he walked around the Prince Pei's Mansion as if there was no one else around, looking around as if wandering around his own back garden. With.
Pei Wanying next to her didn't know what he was planning, so she could only follow him confused. Her duty today was to be the doctor invited by the prince to treat King Pei, so she could only continue to wander around.
Hua Meng and Jing Zhe, who were behind them, were holding the medicine she prepared and followed closely behind them. Their eyes were also looking around. Different from Li Hong's casualness, the two of them were full of vigilance.
"The carved beams and painted buildings, the grandeur, the beauty, the pavilions and terraces, the small bridges and flowing water, tsk tsk... You are really willing to spend money. I don't know why he has repaired this house so well. Are you not afraid of throwing it into the fiefdom? See What to do with his house?" Li Hong sighed as he walked, Li Xian is indeed a generous person.
The grand architectural form of the entire northern courtyard of the palace also has the exquisite elegance of the Jiangnan architectural style. However, both the southern and northern architectural styles have been blended together with his ingenuity. In the northern style buildings of the palace, It is as if one has been immersed in lofty ideals, and people seem to have become much more open-minded because of the influence of the surrounding architectural styles.
When immersed in the elegance and delicacy of the south, it is like smelling the Jiangnan water town and Xiaojiabiyu all of a sudden, and a sense of leisurely leisure comes into being. I wish I could hold a folding fan in my hand and step forward. Compose a poem while shaking your head.
Along the way, every time I met palace maids, eunuchs, domestic slaves, retainers, etc., they were all stunned when they saw Li Hong, and then hurriedly saluted. No one dared to come forward and ask more questions.
"What's he doing here? Don't you think I'm embarrassing enough?" Li Xian's cheeks were as red and swollen as buns, and his originally bright big eyes became much smaller due to the swelling of his cheeks, and his speech was not as clear as before.
Fang Muqing has been by his side every day these days. At this moment, it is naturally difficult for Fang Xianzhong to appear in Li Xian's mansion. However, as the princess of Zhun Pei, no one can say anything about Fang Xianzhong's appearance in the mansion. What came out.
"Maybe His Highness the Crown Prince is concerned about your injury and has come to visit you." Fang Muqing has become accustomed to losing his temper at every turn these days. Li Xian, who was extremely irritable, could only say softly.
"Hmph, let him come to care about me! Isn't this what he did? The weasel sent a New Year greeting to the chicken. He must have had bad intentions. He replied to him for me and just said directly that I didn't want to see him!" Standing in the main hall, thick On the Persian carpet, Li Xian paced anxiously back and forth and said.
The other maids and eunuchs in the hall were all silent, lowering their heads and not daring to speak. In the past few days, I don’t know how many maids and eunuchs have been sent to the Yeting Bureau, one of the six bureaus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, by King Pei. Now, in front of King Pei, the one who can speak well and dares to speak is the quasi-princess.
"After all, he is your brother. Since the prince came here on his own initiative, you should treat him well. What happened in the past..." Fang Muqing has become accustomed to Li Xian's temperament. At this time, she should act like a big sister. To care for him and comfort him.
"I want him to come and see me. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be like this, human or ghost..."
"I think you still deserve a beating! It's good that I didn't knock out your teeth. Where do you get so much resentment? Aren't you bringing all of this on yourself? Why are you yelling so hard? Those people you sent to prison Palace maid, where did you make a mistake? As for asking you to say harsh words, you have to say something?" Li Hong walked around the small garden in front of the main hall and looked at Li Xian, who had a swollen face, and endured it. Said with a smile.
"You..." Li Xian looked at Lao Wu who was approaching, and the deep smile in his eyes seemed to him more like a mockery of watching a good show.
This made him even more annoyed. He clenched his fists with both hands and loosened them weakly. He hummed: "Okay, come on, hit me. You'd better knock out all my teeth, otherwise, I will definitely You must tell them all about your evil deeds, Li Hong, in front of your father and mother."
"You really have the nerve to say this. You should think about it, how do you explain to your father and mother that you burned down Prince Wu's palace, and you still sue me? For this reason, I won't even bother to imprison you in Zongzheng Temple. I passed." Li Hong pushed away Li Xian who was blocking the door, and sat down at the top as a guest.
Ignoring the small eyes staring at him, Li Xian looked at Fang Muqing and asked, "Are you Fang Xianzhong's daughter Fang Muqing?"
"Yes, Your Highness. Mu Qing has met His Highness the Crown Prince." Fang Muqing glanced helplessly at the stubborn Li Xian, and had no choice but to take two steps forward, salute and reply.
"Although your marriage has been decided, can you stand his immature childish temper? If you can't stand it, I can make the decision and ask Fang Xianzhong to cancel the marriage and find someone for you. How about a good family?" Li Hong glanced at Li Xian, who was still angry, and said jokingly.
"Only you? This is what the mother personally appointed, why do you change it just when you say it?" Li Xian tilted his head and looked at the sky, showing his disdain for someone.
Fang Muqing was a well-educated, gentle, and intellectual man. Although he knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was teasing Li Xian about himself, naturally it was the Crown Prince who mentioned it. This was half a Chrysostom, so he could only respond righteously, so he could only continue to salute and said: "Mr. Qingduo thanks His Highness the Crown Prince for your concern. King Pei has always been very kind-hearted. He may have been a little moody these days due to complicated matters."
"Well said!" Li Hongquan pretended that he didn't hear anything in her words, alluding to his guilt in bringing Li Xian into such a mess. He stood up and walked to Li Xian, patted his shoulders and said, "Look how grand this woman is. Look at you, the Prince of Pei of the Tang Dynasty, you are so magnanimous... Sigh... It's unfortunate for the Tang Dynasty, but then again, is this how your Prince Pei's house treats guests? Don't you even give them a cup of tea? … Go get your best tea from Prince Pei, as well as cakes and other things. I’ve been traveling for a long time, my legs are tired and my mouth is thirsty, so go quickly.”
"Yes, Your Highness." When a palace maid saw that the prince actually patted her shoulder and said, she almost collapsed on the ground in fear, so after Fang Muqing signaled, she hurriedly went outside to prepare.
"Come on, come on, don't be angry. I'm not even angry. Why are you angry? Look what I brought you. This is the best medicine for removing blood stasis and reducing swelling. Miss Pei prepared it herself. If you don’t have this blessing, come on... Haha... Can you stop puffing your cheeks? It really looks like a pig’s head... Haha, if Li Lingyue saw it, she would definitely laugh for three months, haha... "
"Are you deliberately here to humiliate me and see my jokes? If so, then you have achieved your goal and you can leave!" Li Xian was furious. If it could really explode, Li Xian had no doubt that he would It will explode like thunder that day!
His face was livid, tears were rolling in his eyes, and he looked at Li Hong who was bending down with a smile. Li Xian wanted to eat Li Hongsheng, but he also knew that nothing he did now was of no use, and he could not shake Li Hong's status. .
No one present had the qualifications or courage to persuade the arrogant and arrogant Li Hong. Only Pei Wanying quietly walked up to Li Hong and pulled Li Hong's sleeve to signal him not to go too far.
Li Hong, who was laughing to the point of tears, finally stopped laughing, took a breath and signaled to Pei Wanying that he knew what he was doing and reassured her.
Li Hong finally stopped laughing, and his expression finally returned to normal under the secret worry of Pei Wanying and Fang Muqing. However, the smile in his eyes suddenly turned a little cold, which made them feel a little uncomfortable. There was even a hint of fear.
"The winner is a prince, the loser is a bandit, Li Xian, this is the law of the strong that has not changed through the ages and cannot be changed."
"What do you want to do?" Li Xian asked coldly as he watched Li Hong regain his composure.
He would not believe that Li Hong just came to visit him. Even if his father and mother planned to return to Chang'an to spend the New Year, it would not be possible for him to rush over to remedy the situation because he hit him. What's more, the two Things between people are not simple conflicts!
"I heard that your Prince Pei's Mansion has many hidden places, and one of them is as luxuriously decorated as the Daming Palace. So I came here today. Brother, I just want to see it." Li Hong looked at Li Xian's narrowed eyes. , said lightly.
"What if I don't agree?" Li Xian's pupils were shrinking. He didn't want to believe that Li Hong knew where he specifically discussed matters, but Li Hong's words were obviously directed at the secret room.
"Simple, let Prince Pei's Mansion be reduced to ashes like Prince Wu's Mansion tonight. As the saying goes, eradicating the roots. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, isn't it?" Li Hong pressed forward step by step without giving in.
Those who can stand in this hall now, who can hear and see the tit-for-tat between the two of them, are naturally not outsiders. Therefore, Li Hong doesn't care if he starts to suppress Li Xian now, even in front of his future princess Fang Muqing. .
