"This..." Li Rong sold off, then laughed, "You'll know when the time comes."

"You want to hide this from me too?"

Li Chuan was quite disgusted, and Li Rong sighed: "To tell you the truth, I didn't lie to you."

Saying that, Li Rong turned her head, looked out the car window, and said indifferently, "I just really don't know."

After all, it wasn't just her decision to get married.

Pei Wenxuan won't speak, and she won't speak either.

She doesn't think it's a good thing to marry a reborn Pei Wenxuan. They are too entangled with each other. Putting them together is nothing but sparring with each other.

Pei Wenxuan has his Qin Zhenzhen, and with his skill, even if he is not a concubine, there may not be other possibilities. In this life, he could choose another way to try, even if it was a little harder, it might be better than marrying her.

And she...

Li Rong slowly closed her eyes, without her treading an uneven road. Whether Pei Wenxuan is willing to help her or not, she has her own way to go.

The carriage swayed and Li Rong slept in the carriage for a while. After a long time, she heard the voice of a eunuch coming from outside, and said respectfully, "I have seen Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness."

When Li Rong heard this voice, she slowly opened her eyes, and Li Chuan stepped forward and lifted the curtain, revealing a smiling face.

This person was dressed in the costume of the great eunuch in the palace, and looked like he was not even forty years old. His big eyes and round face were very pleasing. Li Rong recognized that this was the great eunuch Shande beside her mother.

Seeing Shande, Li Chuan said strangely, "Eunuch Shande? Why are you here?"

"The queen heard that the prince brought the princess back, so she asked the old slave to wait here. The empress said that the prince was tired from running around last night, so go to rest first, and the old servant will lead the princess," said Shande and saluted Li Rong. , and then turned to look at the carriage behind, "Go to Weiyang Palace with Mr. Pei to see the Empress."

"Pei Wenxuan?"

Li Chuan was a little surprised: "The queen mother wants to see him?"

Shande nodded with a smile: "Yes, the lady wants to meet Pei Gongzi."

Saying that, Shande gave up his seat, and the two sedan chairs were exposed, and he said to Li Rong, "The sedan chairs are ready, and the princess can move."

Hearing this, Li Chuan turned to look at Li Rong, Li Rong nodded, raised her hand, and put it into Li Chuan's. Li Chuan helped Li Rong to get up, and Li Rong was helped out of the carriage and moved to the sedan chair.

After getting on the sedan chair, she looked back and saw that Pei Wenxuan also got on the sedan chair. She nodded towards Li Chuan, and the sedan chair was lifted up. Li Rong held the golden fan in her hand and closed her eyes to rest.

After a while, the sedan chair went to the gate of Weiyang Palace. Shande opened the sedan curtain and respectfully said, "Princess, here we are."

Li Rong opened her eyes, stretched out her hand, and was helped out of the sedan chair. Then she raised her head and saw the steps of Weiyang Palace.

Pei Wenxuan walked behind her, and the two were led by Shande. They walked up the steps one after the other. Li Rong lowered her voice and whispered with Pei Wenxuan: "Master Pei, I have some things to think about. ?"

Pei Wenxuan's eyelashes trembled, and he whispered, "Not yet."

Li Rong chuckled: "That's not much time for Master Pei to think about it."

After speaking, the two of them arrived at the entrance of Weiyang Palace, Shande entered the door to report, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan stood at the door one after the other, and the palace servants were scattered around, Li Rong said softly: "Actually, I don't even think about this palace. It's enough to pursue profit, but there is always a bit of unwillingness in my heart."

The two of them get married again, which is naturally the best and most beneficial to both of them.

But when they knew that the other party was reborn, their interests seemed to have some kind of invisible restraint, making them uneasy.

Pei Wenxuan understood this feeling, he lowered his eyes and did not respond.

After a while, Shande walked back and said respectfully, "Princess please."

"Let's go together." Li Rong instructed Pei Wenxuan, Pei Wenxuan said "um", and the two entered the hall together. Arriving at the door of the inner room, Li Rong pointed with a golden fan and whispered, "You wait here, I will announce you to re-enter."

Pei Wenxuan respectfully responded "yes", and Li Rong walked in.

When Li Rong entered the inner room, the first thing she saw was a woman, dressed in a red silk embroidered phoenix, with a golden armour on her hands, lying reclining on a small couch, seemingly in a light sleep.

Li Rong stepped forward, kneeled respectfully, and said softly, "My son has seen my mother, my mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand thousand years old."

The queen didn't speak, Li Rong knelt on the ground without making a sound, and after a long time, the queen spoke slowly: "I heard that you stayed with Pei Wenxuan last night."

"Yes."

Li Rong answered without hesitation. The queen opened her eyes and looked at Li Rong. With a scrutiny in her eyes, she said calmly, "What do you plan to do with your marriage?"

Li Rong smiled, she raised her eyes to look at the queen, and said gently: "I dare to ask the mother what the queen thinks, how should the daughter deal with it?"

"You have an idea."

The queen must speak, but Li Rong said, "Could it be that the queen mother doesn't?"

The queen didn't speak. The moment the two exchanged words, the queen immediately noticed that Li Rong was different from before.

Although Li Rong was smart in the past, she will never be like this now. She speaks like a courtier who has dealt with her for a long time. If you push me on a topic, it will not get to the point.

The queen pondered for a moment, she did not go around with Li Rong, she said directly: "This palace wants to marry you to Yang Quan."

Li Rong didn't say anything. Maybe she didn't think about it. Since the Yang family went to the two palaces last night, they couldn't have done nothing. After thinking for a while, she said, "What did the Yang family promise the mother?"

The queen did not expect Li Rong to be so calm, and she was a little unaccustomed to it, but it was also good, it saved her a lot of trouble, so she calmly replied to Li Rong: "Bingquan."

"The Yang family still has military power?"

Li Rong sneered: "Does the queen mother not know what the father and emperor of the previous dynasty did to the Yang family?"

"I know." The queen said calmly, "So they are very flustered now. They entered the palace last night and already said that if you marry Yang Quan, Yang Quan will become the head of the Yang family and take over the direct line of the Yang family..."

"Their direct lineage has been wiped out on the battlefield, how much is left!"

"We can build."

The queen raised her voice, suppressing Li Rong's voice, and continued: "We have people and soldiers, as long as the Yang family is still in the northwest, the location is still theirs, the military supplies will be provided, and they can be expanded soon, what's the problem? "

"Queen Mother," Li Rong looked at the Queen in disbelief, she lowered her voice to remind, "You are killing Chuan'er!"

"It's your father who is killing us!"

The queen suddenly said: "You know why he abolished the Yang family! It is for Li Chang's uncle to be promoted to the position of the king of the northwest! He wants to give Li Chang military power! He is only ten years old! He has already been named a prince, and now he Also give this milk doll military power!"

Li Rong was not shocked to hear this. Later, Concubine Rou's elder brother Zhao Ziguang did indeed serve as the general of Northwest Zhenbei, and Li Ming would not abolish the Yang family for no reason.

He abolished the Yang family, one because the Yang family's merits were high, arrogant and domineering, and the other was because he wanted to move his position and give the person he wanted to promote.

It's just that the Yang family will be ruined sooner or later. Back then, the Yang family had been cleaned up, and Li Ming had a thunderous wrist, and the queen had no idea how many pieces he had buried to bring down the Yang family.

Li Rong looked at the queen and said calmly: "Mother, calm down, I don't know what you heard, but now that Chuan'er is the prince, as long as you don't let your majesty get his fault, in a short time, your majesty will take him. There is no way. You asked me to marry Yang Quan. Your Majesty has been targeting the Yang family for a long time, and I am afraid that he has already collected a lot of evidence. At that time, these mistakes will fall on Chuan'er."

"So what?" The queen looked at him coldly. "As long as we can get military power, even if Chuan'er is at fault, so what?"

Li Rong raised her eyes, she stared at the queen.

The queen stared at her, as if it was a silent battlefield between mother and daughter.

Li Rong knew in her heart that Li Chang's addition to the prince was already a great humiliation for the queen, and now Li Ming wants to give Li Chang military power, which is already a complete threat to Li Chuan.

In fact, Li Chuan was almost abolished that year, and it was indeed due to the issue of military power.

In the last life, she married Pei Wenxuan, because the queen was unable to participate in the marriage, and when she found out, she had already referred to the marriage. In the last life, the Yang family did not know that they had the possibility of marrying, and they were not forced into a corner, and they were willing to take full military power. To the extent that it was handed over to the queen, the queen did not have such a huge temptation, so the queen asked her to endure and asked her to marry Pei Wenxuan.

When she asked her to marry Pei Wenxuan, she told her that women should have power. So at that time, she thought that it was not her mother who was desperate to save her, but that there was nothing she could do.

In this life, her marriage has contaminated the military power of the Yang family, and the queen has the possibility to participate, so she immediately decided to let her marry Yang Quan.

Li Rong looked at the queen quietly, she didn't know what to do, and suddenly asked, "Has the queen mother ever thought of me?"

When the queen got this, she was stunned.

Li Rong asked, and she didn't feel any regrets. She knelt on the ground, straightened up, looked at the woman with the golden crown on the high seat, and said calmly, "The queen mother has been talking about military power and the position of the prince, dare to ask the queen mother, this marriage. , Have you ever thought about your daughter for a moment?"

The queen listened to Li Rong's questioning, she came back to her senses, her lips trembled, she opened her mouth, and finally said, "I can't let you choose me."

"Aren't you and I choosing now?"

Li Rong said seriously: "I've been with Pei Wenxuan all night, and my mother knows that I don't have a choice."

"So you want to choose the little white face who can't give you anything?!"

"It's not that he can't give me anything," Li Rong said clearly. "His identity can give me stability. He just can't give his mother military power like the Yang family."

She didn't call her mother, she called "Mother", the queen clenched her fists, listened to Li Rong looking at her, and said calmly: "Miss, my marriage is just a bargaining chip, and I am just a chess piece, don't care about the joy of chess pieces , don't care who she likes, who she doesn't like, let alone whether she's doing well or not. Since the mother is so considerate," Li Rong looked at the queen and couldn't help smiling, "Why not make it clear sooner that the daughter is not the daughter, but the queen. The sharp blade in the hand of the maiden..."

Before he could finish speaking, a slap in the face with a "slap" slapped Li Rong in the face loudly.

The voice was too loud, and it suddenly shook Pei Wenxuan's heart.

Pei Wenxuan stood outside the door. The two people in the inner room seemed to have completely forgotten his existence. He clearly heard their conversation. This was Li Rong he had never seen before.

In his memory, Li Rong was always on top, with all the stars holding the moon, no one in the world could hurt her, and she was always arrogant.

He hated her arrogance and her pungency, but at this moment, when he heard that slap suddenly sounded, he felt as if it was scratched on his heart.

With his hands in his sleeves, he heard the voice of the queen inside and trembled with tears: "How can you talk? How can I treat you before, don't you have any heart? Just because I begged you once, you will do this. talk about me?"

No, not once.

Pei Wenxuan closed his eyes, he knew too well what Li Rong was concerned about at the moment.

In Li Rong's heart, a relationship must be clean, clear, and clearly let her know what she has.

It's not that she can't tolerate turbidity, she can't tolerate impurities.

Just like when she asked him "why didn't you say it earlier?", in fact, it wasn't that she couldn't tolerate Qin Zhenzhen, but she couldn't. She thought they were husband and wife, but he went to provoke Qin Zhenzhen.

He felt tightness in his chest, and then he heard Li Rong calmly say: "Mother, then I beg you this time too."

Saying that, Li Rong stood up: "If you have any difficulties, tell me and I will solve it. But this time, you have to be my mother, not the queen."

The queen stared blankly at Li Rong, Li Rong stood up, she was already taller than her, she looked at her quietly: "You are now overwhelmed by jealousy, you will understand in the future that the Yang family can't be contaminated. Chuan'er should have Military power, but it should not be the Yang family. I will arrange it in the future. My marriage can be used as a bargaining chip, but it should be more valuable. "

"I don't need you to do anything. Empress mother, you are not suitable to be a politician. Leave these things to me and Chuan'er. You only need to do one thing."

She stared at the queen, her expression moved slightly, the queen stared at her blankly, Li Rong looked at the woman who was already a little old, and said in a low voice: "Be a good mother."

After speaking, she turned around and walked outside the palace.

The queen looked at Li Rong blankly, and when she saw her walking to the door, she suddenly laughed: "Am I not a good mother?"

"I teach you, I accompany you, and I love you and Chuan'er much more than all the other noble concubines in this harem! Now I just want to live, Chuan'er has to live!"

Li Rong turned her back to her and said coldly, "What is the Yang family threatening you with?"

"They are going to rebel..." The Queen closed her eyes in pain, "If they rebel, they will confess that Chuan'er is the mastermind."

"Your father, the emperor, has been looking for Chuan'er's reasons. If the Yang family confesses Chuan'er as the mastermind of the rebellion, His Majesty will not give up this opportunity!"

Li Rong didn't speak, she stood quietly for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, I will handle it. If you want to call Pei Wenxuan, just announce it, and I will go to Chuan'er first."

After speaking, Li Rong walked out.

When Li Rong walked to the door, she saw Pei Wenxuan who had been standing at the door for a long time.

Pei Wenxuan folded his hands between his sleeves and stared at her quietly, with a pair of handsome eyes, unable to express his emotions.

He looked at Li Rong in front of him and felt that she was familiar and distant.

The person in front of him is still the arrogant phoenix that he remembered in his last life. She is always calm, always calm, always calm, even if Mount Tai collapses in front of her eyes, she will not change her face.

But he also felt that this person was so different. He vaguely saw a little softness and tenderness in her heart, and he vaguely touched the innocence of this person that has never faded even after fifty years of ups and downs.

At this moment, she is like a butterfly falling into a spider's web, and at the moment she struggled, she fluttered out of the amazing beauty.

The two of them are both lonely cranes who were forced into a desperate situation. They stepped on the mud and tried to raise their necks to look up at the blue sky.

They looked at each other quietly, and in an instant, fifty years passed by in their eyes. After a long time, Pei Wenxuan laughed lightly.

"Your Highness thinks, do you want to be married again?"

After listening to Pei Wenxuan's question, Li Rong knew that he was trying to understand, and she couldn't help but smile: "Master Pei is pity me?"

"His Royal Highness's predicament has its own solution, so there is no need to be pitiful," Pei Wenxuan said calmly, "I just suddenly felt that there may be many differences between Your Highness and the people you know, so if you do it again, it will be a new knowledge. Not necessarily bad.”

"Lord Pei is right," Li Rong looked into his handsome eyes, the sincerity and calmness in those eyes calmed her originally uneasy heart little by little, she nodded and said, "That's it."

"Then, I can't tolerate His Highness's 'King Qing'." Pei Wenxuan smiled, as if joking. Li Rong raised her eyebrows, "Do you think that I can tolerate Lord Pei's sweetheart?"

The two stared at each other for a moment, then immediately laughed.

Pei Wenxuan brushed off his sleeves and calmly said: "It seems that Your Highness and I have reached an agreement. Let's decide on this marriage now. Let's bear with each other for a while. After two years, with power in hand, you and I will meet again. Li. At that time, there will be revenge for revenge, and grievance for revenge, what does the princess think?"

"Okay," Li Rong raised her hand and pulled her hair behind her ear, and sighed, "Let's go first. But, you want to marry me," Li Rong turned her head and looked into the inner room, her hair still stunned. The dumb queen said with a half-smile, "It depends on Master Pei's ability. If Master Pei doesn't have this ability, this palace will not marry."

Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan smiled calmly, put his hands in front of him, and bowed to Li Rong: "Princess, don't worry, Pei must bring Yang Quan's head for a job." After speaking, Pei Wenxuan raised his head and said earnestly, "I welcome you. Princess Feng Jia."
