Having known Pei Wenxuan for many years, Li Rong knew exactly what Pei Wenxuan was capable of.
When he is against you, he can drive you to death. But if he deliberately pleases anyone, his ability to flatter others is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
After all, Pei Wenxuan was also the son-in-law of a noble family. He was very intelligent. It was said that he was almost the leader of the academy in the academy back then.
Li Rong felt relieved when she saw his words. After a while, Pei Wenxuan saw a piece of paper wrapped in a stone and thrown over from the next door. Pei Wenxuan was stunned. After picking up the stone, he squatted on the ground and opened it to see that it was Li Rongjuan's beautiful handwriting with a bit of sharpness:
Talk more if you can.
Pei Wenxuan looked at the words, and almost thought of Li Rong's expression with raised eyebrows and a smile, he didn't know why, but Li Rong's arrogant and arrogant appearance was actually a bit cute.
He cocked his tail like a cat, proud and lovable.
Pei Wenxuan suddenly became teased. After a while, Li Rong got a reply. Pei Wenxuan handed the note directly. Li Rong hurriedly took it and opened it, and found that it was still a painting. The second painting is much simpler, with only a few strokes, and outlines a jar with the word "Peony" on it, and four words "Old Peony" next to it.
Li Rong saw these four words, and immediately smashed the paper into a ball and smashed it out, ignoring this shit.
Seeing that Li Rong smashed the paper, Pei Wenxuan knew that Li Rong was angry, and he hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, Your Highness, don't be angry, just kidding."
"Humans don't talk with dogs," Li Rong said coldly, "Hugh!"
Pei Wenxuan was choked by Li Rong's words, but he also knew that Li Rong was angry, so he hurriedly went to write a few hymns to Li Rong, stretched out his hand, and whispered, "Princess, princess, do you have a look? "
Li Rong was too lazy to pay attention to him, so she read the book with melon seeds, Pei Wenxuan's hand was sore, and he changed his hand, continuing to shake the paper in his hand: "Princess, I was wrong, I apologize to you, I don't tease you. Now. Can you take a look?"
Li Rong looked up at the white paper dangling outside, and then looked down at her own notebook. Pei Wenxuan called her in a different voice: "Princess? Your Highness? Li Rong..."
Before he finished speaking, there were voices of people talking and footsteps outside. Pei Wenxuan immediately stood up and leaned against the wall. Just after finishing his clothes, he saw a young man in a crimson official uniform. came out of the long road.
He should have arrived in a hurry, there was a slight sweat on his forehead, and as soon as he entered the cell, his eyes fell on Li Rong. Seeing that Li Rong was still well, he breathed a sigh of relief and bowed respectfully to Li Rong: "Your Highness. ."
Li Rong was a little surprised. She looked at the person who came by and asked, "Master Su?"
After Su Rongqing saluted, she stood up straight and nodded towards Pei Wenxuan: "Master Pei."
Pei Wenxuan nodded indifferently. When Li Rong saw the sweat on Su Rongqing's head, she couldn't help laughing: "Why is Master Su in such a hurry? Wipe the sweat first."
As she said that, she handed over a handkerchief. When Su Rongqing saw the handkerchief handed over by Li Rong, he hesitated for a moment, but before Li Rong could respond, he immediately extended his hand respectfully, and took the handkerchief from Li Rong with both hands. The veil: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Su Rongqing took the handkerchief and wiped his forehead lightly. Pei Wenxuan leaned against the wall and watched silently, the paper rolled up in his hand tapped on his shoulder.
While wiping her forehead, Su Rongqing eased her breath, and then said, "I'm in a hurry on the way, so please don't laugh, Your Highness."
"What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Li Rong chuckled, and Su Rongqing respectfully said: "Today I learned that something happened to Your Highness, so I wanted to rush over, but I was summoned by Your Majesty, and now I have to get out of the palace. "
Su Rongqing's speech has always been very calm, without the cadence of Pei Wenxuan's voice. Li Rong listened to his words and asked back, "What happened this morning?"
"Early morning, news came from the border gate," Su Rongqing corrected her expression. "Two days ago, the Rong Kingdom attacked the city, and the defender Zhao Yi was killed in the front line. At this moment, the whole line retreated to Fencheng. The Yang family submitted their resignation last time."
"Resignation?"
Li Rong laughed: "How did you say it?"
Su Rongqing's expression was not very good, but she repeated it as follows: "Yang Ming said that Yang Quan committed a terrible disaster and provoked the princess, and the Yang family had no face to face the heavenly family, so he asked to retire and return to his hometown, saying that he would take the children of the Yang family to hermitage. Shanlin, I hope His Highness will let them live."
"Words of Punishment."
Pei Wenxuan spoke in a low voice, and Li Rong tapped the palm of his hand with a fan.
If the Yang family usually submits their resignation, the court may not be so flustered, but now that the battle master is dead, and the Rong Kingdom is about to call, at this time, the Yang family's submission of resignation is a threat.
"What did the others say?"
Li Rong asked calmly.
"His Royal Highness should know that most of the aristocratic families stand with the Yang family," Su Rongqing replied fluently, "The family doesn't like changes, and the Yang family guards the border. Interests, the family will not change its position. Now that the Yang family is so forced, the courtiers are shaken today, and the civil and military affairs of the Man Dynasty have asked His Majesty to imprison His Highness in order to secure the hearts of the soldiers at the border."
"I understand."
Li Rong nodded, Su Rongqing raised her eyes and looked at Li Rong: "What does Wei Chen need to do?"
"No need." Li Rong shook her head, "Just do your own business."
Su Rongqing pursed her lips and seemed a little unwilling. He continued, "Your Highness, what I said before..."
"I know it all."
Li Rong cut him off and said seriously, "But what I said to you was also sincere. I didn't reject you because I was on guard or looked down on your ability, but Master Su really doesn't need to intervene in these matters. If I promise Master Su, Not a joke."
Su Rongqing didn't speak, Li Rong saw that he seemed lost, and smiled and said, "Sir Ruosu must want to do something, why don't you bring something for this palace next time you come?"
"What does the princess want?"
After Su Rongqing got this, she finally had some reaction. Li Rong thought for a while: "Bring a few books, I like reading books. If you read a lot, please recommend a few."
Su Rongqing responded respectfully, and Li Rong asked again about the specific situation of Zaochao. After speaking, the two fell silent. After a while, Su Rongqing respectfully said, "If there is nothing else, Wei Chen will retire."
Li Rong nodded and said, "Go ahead, don't be in such a hurry next time, I won't have any trouble in this Huajing."
Su Rongqing saluted and walked away. When he went out, Pei Wenxuan's voice sounded leisurely: "Your Highness, I read a lot of books, can I recommend a few books for you?"
"No need," Li Rong replied, "I am tired of reading the book recommended by Lord Pei, and I want to change it."
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan subconsciously wanted to fight back, but just moments before the words came out, he suddenly stopped again.
He suddenly remembered that he shouldn't go on like this, and shouldn't always quarrel with Li Rong, even for Su Rongqing.
What Li Rong said is actually good. A person always hopes that his enemy is not good. The essence is his low self-esteem.
He doesn't like Su Rongqing and always says that he is not good, but in fact it is just his anger and his inferiority and anger in the face of Su Rongqing.
But it's been a lifetime, and he has started anew. Li Rong is a good girl, and he doesn't want to quarrel with Li Rong all the time.
So he restrained himself and said nothing.
Seeing that Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, Li Rong couldn't help but feel a little strange. In the past, when it came to Su Rongqing, he almost exploded. How could he be silent for so long
She said cautiously, "Pei Wenxuan?"
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, and Li Rong couldn't help but have some bad guesses: "Pei Wenxuan, why don't you speak? Did something happen to you?"
"No."
Pei Wenxuan eased his emotions. He changed his posture, leaned against the wall, adjusted his voice, and pretended to be calm: "I was just thinking about what Su Rongqing told you before, why did you reject him?"
Li Rong was a little surprised. She thought that Pei Wenxuan was going to quarrel with her again, but she didn't want Pei Wenxuan to be open-minded
Seeing that she didn't speak, Pei Wenxuan couldn't help but say, "Why don't you speak? Is it inconvenient to say?"
"No," Li Rong came back to her senses, "Pei Wenxuan, you've changed so much, I'm afraid. You... Would you like to stop scolding?"
Pei Wenxuan: "..."
"I said you're a person," Pei Wenxuan took a breath, "I can't make it through without quarreling, right?"
"That's right," Li Rong nodded, "I feel better this way."
Pei Wenxuan: "..."
"Su Rongqing said he wanted to join the prince, but I didn't agree." Seeing that Pei Wenxuan was back to normal, Li Rong returned to Pei Wenxuan's question.
"Why don't you agree?" Pei Wenxuan frowned, if Su Rongqing stood on Li Chuan's side, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
"I don't think he is the one who should do these things." Li Rong said calmly, "The disaster of the Su family in the past was mainly because of Su Ronghua's problems. In this life, it would be better to keep Su Ronghua away from King Su. He doesn't have to follow him early. Chuan'er, he will be his minister of punishment and work hard, Chuan'er will not embarrass him."
"Are you afraid of getting involved in these things too early and dirtying his heart?"
Pei Wenxuan spoke directly, but Li Rong didn't speak. Pei Wenxuan took her as her acquiescence.
"You are very good to him," Pei Wenxuan said in a flat voice, "but you are not afraid to pull me into the water and dirty my heart."
"What's so filthy in your heart?" Li Rong didn't understand Pei Wenxuan's pretentiousness, and directly said with disgust, "You're already a few decades old, so you shouldn't be ashamed compared to other people's young people."
"What about you?" Pei Wenxuan immediately shot back, "You're a few decades old, and you still think about other people's young people, don't be ashamed."
Li Rong stopped talking, and Pei Wenxuan suddenly felt that what he said was too serious.
Li Rong and Su Rongqing had feelings, and he knew in his heart that even if Su Rongqing killed her, the outcome between them was not that they had bad feelings, but that their positions were different. When Li Rong came back, she wanted to change Su Rongqing's position and treat him better, but it was nothing.
It's just that he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't help but say, "When I was young, you never persuaded me to stay away from these things."
Li Rong felt that Su Rongqing was an elegant gentleman who didn't get involved in the world, and didn't want him to get involved in party disputes, but what about Pei Wenxuan back then
Doesn't he also have hills and valleys in his heart, pretending to be thousands of mountains and rivers
"Did we have a choice back then?" Li Rong said calmly, and Pei Wenxuan was pressing, "I didn't have a choice, but you never thought about it, didn't you?"
Li Rong was silent, and Pei Wenxuan took a deep breath: "In the final analysis, your feelings for me and Su Rongqing are different after all."
"You know that, so what is it?"
Li Rong said calmly, Pei Wenxuan froze, and Li Rong said calmly, "I've been with him for twenty-five years, and I've been with you for less than a year. If you want to compare like this, wouldn't you find it unpleasant for yourself? ? And what are you doing now? You said it yourself, this life has started over, and you plan to start over."
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, Li Rong leaned against the wall and gently placed a fan on her shoulders.
The two of them were only separated by a wall, back to back, each looking down at the ground.
"That's what you said too," Pei Wenxuan chuckled, "starting over, I shouldn't struggle with this. I'll change it slowly, don't bother with me in the future."
Li Rong was speechless, and Pei Wenxuan stood up straight and said, "I'm taking a rest, you should rest early."
His tone was calm, but for some reason, Li Rong could still hear a bit of frustration and embarrassment.
She knew that in Pei Wenxuan's heart, facing Su Rongqing, he was born with an indescribable sense of inferiority.
Although Su Pei is a big family, the Su family is a century-old famous family, and Pei was originally only a second-class noble. With the efforts of Pei Wenxuan's father's family, he squeezed into the first-class family.
Pei Wenxuan was very smart when he was young, and he was born handsome. He and Su Rongqing were the leaders of the two top academies in Huajing. But for some things, it takes hundreds of years of accumulation and inheritance to be affordable. So when people mention Pei Wenxuan, they always say "Unfortunately..."
When he was young, he slightly lost to Su Rongqing because of his family background. Later, in matters of love, even if Su Rongqing was tortured by the palace, he still lost to Su Rongqing.
For Pei Wenxuan, this is not something that can be put down with the words "re-start again".
If he was arguing on weekdays, Li Rong would be too lazy to care about the discomfort in his heart, but now that Pei Wenxuan's attitude has improved, she can't bear to think about this person.
She thought for a while, and finally said, "Pei Wenxuan."
Li Rong pretended to be asleep and didn't speak, and said slowly, "I told him to stay away from these things because he is only in his twenties now, and I'm already an elder, and I have some kind of love in my heart, not other feelings. It's impossible for me and him to start again. He is twenty-year-old Su Rongqing, I am fifty-year-old Li Rong, and I am old."
"If you hadn't come back, I would have met the twenty-year-old you," Li Rong paused, and finally said, "As long as you don't cause trouble, I will help if you can."
Hearing Li Rong's words, Pei Wenxuan felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.
This kind of discomfort is not the same as the previous sourness. Before, he thought about himself and was uncomfortable.
But now he was thinking, how could Li Rong speak in such a tone
She was used to being arrogant and never cared about others. Now that she suddenly said these words, Pei Wenxuan felt more uncomfortable than she scolded him.
"Don't keep talking about how old you are," Pei Wenxuan said, "We are all twenty years old, we are very young."
Li Rong smiled lightly, but she didn't say much. Pei Wenxuan was bored for a while. He got up, walked to the corner, and greeted Li Rong, "Your Highness, come here."
Li Rong was a little puzzled, but she still came to the corner, squatted down, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"Your Highness, give me your hand."
Pei Wenxuan stretched out his hand. Although Li Rong didn't understand what he was going to do, he still reached out. The two couldn't see each other, but they could see their hands. As soon as Pei Wenxuan grabbed her hand, Li Rong couldn't help trembling.
Pei Wenxuan's hands are very thin, with well-defined joints, and his skin is hot and warm, with a bit of roughness unique to men.
On the other hand, Li Rong's hand was slender and soft, her skin was delicate and smooth, and her nails were dyed with Dan Kou. Pei Wenxuan held her hand completely in his hand.
The indescribable numbness went up, but it reminded the two of them of some absurd years when they were young. But now that they are in a hurry to let go, they seem to lose their temper, so both of them pretend to be calm, as if they have no feeling.
Li Rong said calmly: "What are you doing? If you can't give a reason, you've committed a crime."
Pei Wenxuan blushed fiercely, but he also forced himself to be calm. Fortunately, the two of them couldn't see each other now, so he gently put something into Li Rong's palm, and then calmly let go, saying, "Your Highness, I'm good to you. Something, try it out."
Li Rong was a little dazed. She retracted her hand, spread it out, and saw a small round pill. She couldn't help but be a little wary: "What is this?"
"His Royal Highness, you will know after you try it."
"What if it's poison?"
"Do I need to poison you now? You ate my fish before."
Li Rong: "..."
It made sense, Li Rong thought about it and put the pill into her mouth.
The sweetness with the fragrance of plum blossoms spread in her mouth, and Li Rong was a little dazed, and then heard Pei Wenxuan ask, "Is it sweet?"
"sweet… "
Li Rong puzzled: "What are you feeding me?"
"It's sugar pills." Pei Wenxuan laughed, "Didn't you like to eat sweet food back then? It's sweet at eighteen, and sweet at fifty, Li Rong, don't worry too much about age, as long as you are yourself Don't feel old, you will always be a little girl."
Li Rong didn't speak. She squatted with Pei Wenxuan. She held sugar pills in her hands, hugged her knees, put her face on her arms, and said with a smile, "What else do you have to say, tell me more?"
Pei Wenxuan smiled when he heard her words, and felt comfortable in his heart. He stood up and went back to the bed: "Don't talk anymore, I'm not interested. If you want to hear it, come back tomorrow, I'll tell you something when I'm happy. sentence."
Li Rong got his words, spat at him, closed the curtain, got up and went back to the bed.
Li Rong slept until dawn, and after waking up the next day, Jinglan brought people. They led people to serve Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan. There is nothing to do, so just start Tai Chi.
When they were young, they struggled a lot, but when they are old, they love to maintain health. Both of them suffered from illness and pain later, and they also paid more attention to their bodies.
When Li Chuan came, he saw two people doing tai chi. He stood behind Li Rong who was practising tai chi, and asked in doubt, "Sister, when did you start doing tai chi?"
"I can also play Wuqinxi." Li Rong choked up when Li Rong's head didn't answer the horse's mouth, and then said, "No, I'm asking you when you started doing this kind of thing that the Empress Dowager likes to do."
Pei Wenxuan was not happy when he heard this. He only persuaded Li Rong last night, and he was afraid that Li Chuan would not be able to think about it, so he immediately said: "It's never too late to take care of your body, Your Highness, you should practice early too. rise."
Li Chuan felt that the two were sick.
But he didn't have time to quarrel with them, and said directly: "Sister, today's edict has been issued."
"Are you going?" Li Rong knew that Li Chuan was referring to the Northwest. The Yang family submitted their resignation letter, and Li Ming had to send someone to the Northwest to resolve the war. They had planned to send Li Chuan out now.
"I'm going to supervise the army." Li Chuan responded, and Li Rong nodded, "Is that person going?"
What Li Rong asked was Qin Lin, and Li Chuan nodded and said, "Go, divide it into two ways, and I'll give him an identity secretly."
"Okay." Li Rong said calmly, "After passing, get the ledger as soon as possible."
"I understand." Li Chuan responded, and Li Rong said in Tai Chi, "Go, I'm here."
Li Chuan got this. He looked at Li Rong and then at Pei Wenxuan. After a while, he called out to Pei Wenxuan, "Hello."
Pei Wenxuan pretended not to hear and continued to play Tai Chi. Li Chuan knew that he was hanging on to him. Although he was a little angry, he didn't have time to think about it. He only said, "You have to take good care of my sister when you are alone these days."
"I don't need him to take care of me," Li Rong said immediately, "hurry up and leave."
"It's good to leave." Pei Wenxuan answered with Tai Chi. Li Chuan was choked by the two, and after holding it for a long time, he finally said, "Forget it, I'm leaving."
After he finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and walked out of the corridor. After walking a few steps, he suddenly called out, "Sister."
Li Rong turned around and saw that Li Chuan suddenly ran back and hugged her.
He trembled slightly and whispered, "Sister, if I don't come back..."
"Sister is here." Li Rong raised her hand, stroked Li Chuan's back, and said calmly, "You will be safe. Sister will protect you at any time."
Listening to Li Rong's words, Li Chuan felt an inexplicable peace in his heart, and he suddenly had a lot of courage, feeling that someone had spread his wings and silently guarded him along the way.
"Sister," Li Chuan whispered, "I will come back well, so don't be afraid."
"I'm back, I'll protect you."
Li Rong couldn't help laughing after listening to Li Chuan's words.
Li Chuan let go of her, this time he didn't look back, and trotted out all the way.
Pei Wenxuan stood behind Li Rong. He looked at Li Rong with a calm, calm, hopeful expression that he had never seen in the following decades.
"Li Rong," he couldn't help calling her, Li Rong turned around, a little puzzled: "Huh?"
Pei Wenxuan quietly looked at Li Rong who turned to look at him. He saw his shadow reflected in the girl's eyes as clear as water, and the peach blossoms in late spring fell from nowhere. He looked at Li Rong at this moment.
He suddenly had an inexplicable impulse.
He hoped that Li Rong could live a lifetime with such eyes and such a smile.
If Li Rong could live her life like this...
It's not impossible for him to feel wronged and be nice to her.
"Pei Wenxuan?" Li Rong saw that Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, so she couldn't help calling him, Pei Wenxuan recovered, he smiled lightly, and raised his hand to brush the top of her head.
"The flower fell on your head."
He said softly, "I'll flick it away for you."
I would like to brush the dust and snow for you, and I would like to run for half my life for you.
But at that moment, Pei Wenxuan didn't even know that there were so many things he could do for Li Rong.
