To be honest, whether it is reincarnation, rebirth, or time travel, even a real man of the Tang Dynasty will be tempted when facing a beautiful and intelligent talented woman like Shangguan Wan'er, right
What's more, just thinking about it, being able to marry famous beauties and talented women in history to be his own woman, even today's Li Hong can't help but feel a little excited when he thinks about it!
Moreover, during these days, because he agreed to Li Lingyue's request, he allowed Xue Shao to go to the Anxi Corps to train, and at the same time he also allowed Li Lingyue to go to Chongwen Hall to study.
Therefore, for Li Hong's kindness to Xue Shao, Li Lingyue has been working hard to match up and create opportunities for herself to be alone with Guan Wan'er recently.
I know this very well, but fortunately I am older, and there are five girls in the East Palace: Bai Chun, Pei Wanying, An Xiaohe, Chen Qinghan and Yan Lingbin, so when I get along with the fifteen-year-old Shangguan Wan'er, I don't feel uncomfortable I feel something is abnormal.
After all, in Li Hong's view, no matter how beautiful a fifteen-year-old girl is, she is just a budding flower at this time, and has not yet reached the level of obsession.
But what surprised Li Hong was Shangguan Wan'er's reaction when she was alone with him. With her intelligence and her best friend Li Lingyue's big mouth, she might have already known Li Lingyue's purpose of creating a chance for them to be alone. .
But every time he was alone with Shangguan Wan'er, Li Hong rarely noticed any trace of nervousness and uneasiness in Shangguan Wan'er's expression.
The fifteen-year-old beauty always impresses me as studious, smart, gentle and generous, with elegant manners. Her performance is remarkable, she comes from a scholarly family and has the demeanor of a lady.
"What are you thinking about? If you want to be so fascinated, then Shangguan Wan'er fascinates you more than Bai Chun and the others?" Wu Mei looked at the pensive Li Hong and asked gossiping.
She had met Shangguan Wan'er several times. Two years ago, Li Lingyue wanted to give Shangguan Wan'er to her imperial brother Li Hong. Now, two years later, Li Lingyue's thoughts not only have not dissipated, but have become more and more intense. He was so excited that he even wished that when Li Hong married Chen Qinghan, he would let Li Hong marry Shangguan Wan'er together.
Wu Mei was also well aware of Li Lingyue's thoughts, but she didn't understand that no matter how outstanding Shangguan Wan'er was, she was still indistinguishable from Bai Chun, Pei Wanying or Chen Qinghan.
But why does he look like Li Hong is very attracted to Shangguan Wan'er? It seems... Judging from the unique feeling of a woman, it seems that Li Hong is very willing to bring Shangguan Wan'er into the palace.
But it is not like treating Bai Chun, Pei Wanying, An Xiaohe or Chen Qinghan, bringing them into the palace with personal feelings.
On the contrary, it feels like a man's desire to possess a woman, just like a wolf's primitive desire for a sheep. There is no emotional color in it. What can be seen is only a man's desire to conquer and possess a woman. .
Wu Mei, on the other hand, saw this desire in Li Hong. She saw Li Hong's desire to possess a man like Shangguan Wan'er, and it was not a desire to forcefully possess him because of feelings.
This made Wu Mei even more curious, why did Li Hong have such desire for Shangguan Wan'er alone? What unique temperament does Shangguan Wan'er have? Or is it some unique charm? How could the prince, who always liked to take concubines with his emotions, have to rely on men's desire to possess a budding girl
"What are you thinking about?" Li Hong looked at Long Ma, who had a piercing gaze, and said vaguely: "Li Lingyue is crazy. She wants to turn Xue Shao, who has thin arms and legs, into Li Zhe at a young age. It's hard for me to see that. Didn't you see that when Aunt Chengyang came to the East Palace yesterday, her eyes were always red and she spoke with a cry in her voice? It made me so worried that I was really afraid that Xue Shao would go to Anxi. If something goes wrong, I can't explain it. If anything happens, you have to say a few nice words for me in front of Aunt Chengyang. Otherwise, it will be very scary if Aunt Chengyang loses her temper. of."
"You have never cared so much about your mother's feelings. You have cared a lot about your Aunt Chengyang's feelings. You heartless bastard, I have been supporting you for so many years. You are not as good as Li Dan or Li Zhe." Filial piety." Wu Mei rolled her eyes at Li Hong, and seeing that she didn't want to mention Shangguan Wan'er anymore, she stopped talking.
I was just thinking about recruiting Shangguan Wan'er over one day to take a closer look. Besides looking like a little fairy like Li Lingyue, what kind of abilities does Shangguan Yi's granddaughter have that can make Li Hong develop the wolf nature? Wanted to take her as his own.
"My son, you still don't care. My son is thinking about you all the time. In the past two years, you and your father traveled to our country in the Tang Dynasty. I was in Chang'an to supervise the country. I was worried about you every day. I didn't taste the food. I wanted to throw it away. When it comes to the affairs of the government, you should go to your mother and follow your father as a filial piety. In the past two years, the food I have eaten has not tasted delicious. No, I have killed several of the cooks in the East Palace. Only after you come back, Only then did I realize that I had wrongly blamed the cook, but in fact I was in a state where I couldn't think about the food and the tea because I cared too much about you and my father." Li Hong expressed his feelings towards Long Ma in a disgusting way. Filial piety, and Wu Mei listened happily.
Although he knew that Li Hong's words were not true, the chefs in the East Palace had not changed since he arrived in the East Palace. How could he chop off the heads of several cooks
However, as long as it is a woman, whether it is about family or love, as long as her son or husband tells some nice and thoughtful lies in front of her, they are very willing to listen to it. Even Wu Mei is willing to listen to it. No exception.
Women are mysterious creatures that are easy to fantasize about. No matter how we progress and develop, how we understand the world we live in, or how we use scientific means to explain people’s emotional stories, women’s emotions will always remain the same. A mystery in science.
Perhaps, regarding women's emotions, we can establish another category, the unknown subjects in metaphysics.
Therefore, after Wu Mei listened happily, she smiled and greeted the son who had just expressed his filial piety to her with the feather duster in her hand: "It sounds so nice, it means that Li Dan, Li Lingyue and Li Zhe, this monthly payment I write more letters than you do in a year, is this your filial piety to me?"
Look, after listening to the flattering words, he still wanted to hit someone, and judging from his expression, Li Hong felt that his dragon mother hadn't heard enough.
"Don't say anything disgusting to my queen in the future. If you want to say something disgusting, say it to your princess." Li Zhi walked in barefoot from the door. A pair of shoes covered with wet mud had been kicked away by him long ago. .
The palace maid followed behind her with a pair of soft cotton slippers, but she never had a chance to put them on the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Only when Li Zhi sat down next to Wu Mei and Li Hong did he have the opportunity to take out wet wipes. She helped Li Zhi carefully and wiped his feet again, then gently held Li Zhi's feet in her arms and put on the cotton slippers.
Li Hong frowned when he saw it: "You are not like Li Ye and Li Ye, so why are you running around without wearing shoes? With your body, if the soles of your feet get cold..."
"I'm willing. It's none of your business. Just discipline your own children. When will it be your turn to lecture?" Li Zhi picked up the teacup with a suitable temperature and said angrily after taking a sip.
"Everyone, please go down. No one can come up without my order." Wu Mei ordered, looking at Wang Lou at the door.
"Yes, Queen." Whether it was Hua Ji who had just walked up with Li Zhi, Wang Lou, or the palace maid who had just put on Li Zhi's slippers, the group of people retreated silently like a tide.
As a result, the entire second floor of the palace, which was farmed with the people, was empty except for Li Zhi and the other three.
The second-floor palace of the three people seemed even more silent. Even outside the window, there was no sound except for the cicadas who protested tirelessly in the distance because of the sultry weather.
After a moment of silence, Li Hong was the first to speak: "The Anxi Corps has now left the four towns of Anxi."
Wu Mei raised her eyelids, glanced at the unhappy Li Zhi, and sighed silently in her heart.
"Yeah." Li Zhi said yes and said nothing, continuing to wait for the prince to give him an answer.
"Tuqishi died. In fact, before the Yuan Dynasty, after the heavy snowfall in Anxi, many people froze to death, including the royal family of Tuqishi, so they took the lead in occupying Tochara." Li Hong continued.
"Um."
"This battle in Tocharo cannot be won in a year and a half. Dashi has also invested a lot of troops to compete with the Tang Dynasty. Although the two armies have not yet fought head-on, I estimate that before winter comes, At that time, the two armies will have a tentative battle, and the turning point of this war is likely to be before the winter of this year. After the winter, the two armies will stop fighting and will not be able to fight. "
"Um."
"In the name of the King of Persia, Belus also gathered about 20,000 troops in a short period of time. However, they hadtily formed an army and did not have much combat effectiveness. Moreover, Belus's health also appeared. His son Narshiye is now in charge of those 20,000 people, and I plan to let Belus return to Chang'an to recuperate. "
"Um."
"Send Li Xian's wife and two sons here tomorrow." After Li Zhin finished, Wu Mei glanced at Li Zhi and then said to Li Hong.
"Yes, Queen Mother, I will send someone over tomorrow." Li Hong said respectfully.
"Where is my son? How to deal with my son? Where is he now?" Li Zhi raised his head, looked at Li Hong and asked.
"Still in Anxi, Tocharo is impossible. It is too close to our Tang Dynasty. Jiling City is his final destination." Li Hong said without looking at Li Zhi, looking at the clear sky outside the glass window.
