Li Hongyuan threw the chess piece back into the chess box, "Father, let's find someone who is about the same level as you. According to Yi Erchen, Brother Sanhuang is a good candidate."
Li Hongming's smiling face was slightly distorted, what does this mean, someone who is about the same level as his father, he is said to be the defeated general of his Li Hongyuan, right? Although this is true, it still makes people very angry. Under the watchful eyes of Su Guifei, before Emperor Lecheng looked up and saw his face, Li Hongming forced himself to return to normal, "It is an honor to be able to play against the father and emperor. , I just don't know if the royal father has that interest now, after all, the chess skill of the son is much worse than that of the sixth brother."
"It is precisely because we are on equal footing that we feel fun." Li Hongyuan stood up, obviously, no matter what Emperor Lecheng chooses, he does not intend to accompany him. "Minxiang, let's go, accompany the emperor to walk with the imperial garden."
Princess Minxiang, who was suddenly named, was a little at a loss, and subconsciously grabbed Concubine Su's clothes, and the resistance should not be too obvious.
Concubine Su looked at her daughter and frowned, "What's the matter, didn't Minxiang keep shouting for a long time and haven't talked to your sixth emperor, isn't it just right now?"
"But..." Princess Minxiang deliberately pouted coquettishly, "but now I want to accompany my father, and I haven't talked to my father for a long time." After speaking, seeing that Emperor Lecheng also wanted to say something, he immediately Climbing up, "Father, people want to stay by Father's side right now, and there will be time after talking to Sixth Emperor. Let's talk about it," Princess Minxiang deliberately squinted at Li Hongyuan, pretending to be disgusted, "Sixth Emperor Brother, how can a father be more important."
Emperor Lecheng laughed, it seemed that he was very happy that his daughter chose him instead of the bastard, but he was more important as expected. "Okay, just stay here, it's not that your Sixth Emperor doesn't know the way, let him go by himself."
Li Hongyuan didn't even give Princess Minxiang a look, he raised his foot and walked out, "Minxiang, don't make the emperor wait too long."
"Nie Zha, didn't you hear what I said? I want your sister to stay, and your sister doesn't want to go."
"The emperor sent someone to clean up the so-called concubine mothers in the imperial garden as soon as possible, and then made a scandal of the concubine's conspiracy. The emperor will really be swept away by his majesty."
Emperor Lecheng's face was so dark that he was definitely not as good as he wished. This evil barrier deliberately brought up such a bad thing to anger him, but looking at his outfit, he must have been uneasy and kind from the beginning, and deliberately came to the palace to stir up trouble. It's a storm, if the marriage doesn't satisfy him, maybe it will be a complete trouble now. He is not reconciled if it didn't make a trouble just now, and now he has to make up for it? He wanted to get him back, but he changed his words again, "Minxiang, go, follow him, and keep him away from other people."
Minxiang didn't expect this result in the end, and reluctantly responded, and then moved out slowly.
"Minxiang, don't make the emperor wait too long. The emperor doesn't want to say the same thing a third time."
Princess Minxiang's body froze, not daring to provoke the patience of her sixth imperial brother, holding her dress, ran forward in small steps, and followed behind Li Hongyuan.
Seeing this daughter who is sometimes a little shy in front of me, just like a little milk cat without sharp claws behind the evil barrier, she is simply... Well, Emperor Lecheng is also out of temper, he is the emperor , how can you care about these, the shame is also self-inflicted, and you can't blame others. "Come on the third, and play two games with me."
"Yes, Father."
He had many children, and the one who was disobedient was the only one who was suddenly relieved. So, in the process of playing chess, Li Hongming felt the care of a loving father, and he was so flattered that it was difficult to concentrate and made frequent mistakes in the process of playing chess. Therefore, Emperor Lecheng was hit hard by his sixth son. The mind, being able to recover from the third son, will naturally be in a good mood. Li Hongming began to fidgeting when asked about Li Hongming's more and more meticulous care and inquiries.
Princess Minxiang has been obediently following behind Li Hongyuan. Li Hongyuan does not speak, so she pretends to be a little mute and never speaks. And the palace people who were serving her didn't dare to breathe, and they followed Eunuch Mu like little followers.
Perhaps it was because of Li Concubine's incident that the concubines were taught a terrible lesson. They tried to meet Emperor Lecheng by chance in the imperial garden. When they saw this living King of Hell, their expressions changed subconsciously, and they turned away. Far away, there is no need for Emperor Lecheng to clear the field at all. Li Hongyuan's clearing effect is stronger than the plague.
Li Hongyuan walked all the way, destroying flowers all the way. No matter how expensive, he rubbed into a ball in the palm of his hand, and the flower juice overflowed along the fingers, drop by drop, especially the red flower juice, which made Princess Minxiang think of something. Zhang Xiumei's face turned pale, and there were even faint beads of sweat on her forehead.
Li Hongyuan turned around, "Minxiang, are you afraid of this king?"
"No, no..." Looking at Li Hongyuan's handsome face with a half-smile but not a smile, he was not at all pleasing to the eye, but felt that he was like an evil ghost, and subconsciously took two steps back.
"Minxiang is really afraid of this king." Li Hongyuan stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch her head.
"No, you don't come here..." Minxiang waved Li Hongyuan's hand away, turned around and wanted to run, but somehow tripped over and fell to the ground.
Li Hongyuan frowned, bent down and stretched out his hand, "Min Xiang..." It seemed like he was going to pull her up.
"Go away, go away, don't come here..." Princess Minxiang shrank her body, closed her eyes, and kept waving and beating.
Li Hongyuan is not a good-tempered person, his face suddenly turned cold, and he raised his hand slightly, Eunuch Mu hurriedly stepped forward and put the handkerchief in his hand. While wiping his hands carelessly, he looked at Min Xiang who was sitting on the ground indifferently, his eyes were gloomy.
Seeing that something was going to happen again, one of Princess Minxiang's close-fitting maids stepped forward, "Your Highness, don't be angry, Princess, she's just afraid of red juice, she doesn't mean anything else." Princess Minxiang's shoulders comforted her softly, trying to help her up, but she kept paying attention to Li Hongyuan's reaction, for fear that he would get angry.
Maybe Min Xiang was really frightened, no matter how much the palace maid coaxed, it was useless, and there were even signs of madness.
When it was first discovered that the situation was not right, someone ran to inform Concubine Su, so the three people in the Jade Palace naturally rushed over quickly.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Lecheng asked with a sullen face.
From the scene, it was obvious that Prince Jin bullied Princess Minxiang, but Emperor Lecheng didn't believe it, and Concubine Su didn't believe it either. Sometimes their son is really not a thing. Even if he has nothing to do occasionally, he won't take the initiative except for those beauties he likes. Provoking women, not to mention Minxiang is still his sister, more importantly, Li Hongyuan has never been interested in bullying the weak, and he doesn't look at the people he "offends" on weekdays. He dares to talk back to Emperor Lecheng, dare to be right The courtiers sneered and dismissed them with disdain. They dared to rectify the calculating brothers. They were not soft-hearted. They were not interested in paying attention to those noble sons and young masters who were like mice and cats when they met him. Would they deliberately bully the little girl? He wasn't so childish and boring.
It was Li Hongming who looked at Li Hongyuan with suspicion and scrutiny.
The palace staff of Princess Minxiang hurriedly explained the whole story.
Hearing this, Concubine Su Gui looked at Li Hongyuan's cold face again. She was afraid that Min Xiang "did not know the good or the bad" and annoyed him, so she hurriedly asked the palace servants to take Min Xiang directly back to her palace. Then he explained to Li Hongyuan in detail, "Yuan'er should know that when Minxiang was seven years old, he was seriously ill. After he recovered, he was unable to see the red juice. The imperial doctor said, what should Minxiang be in? She was frightened when she saw blood in the place, but when I asked her, she couldn't say one, two, three, and after that, she tried her best to avoid letting her see the red juice."
Li Hongyuan paused as he wiped his hands, looking at the red silk handkerchief in his hand, frowning, "I don't know."
Su Guifei saw that he was still expressionless, but she could feel a trace of guilt in him, which was really rare. "As the saying goes, you don't blame those who don't know, you don't have to take it to heart." Li Hongyuan is actually very indifferent to everyone, except her mother concubine who can make him a little closer, even if they grew up in the Jade Palace, Li Hongming and Minxiang The princess couldn't let him have much caring heart, so he didn't know about this matter, and Su Guifei was not surprised.
"Sixth brother doesn't know about such an important matter. Minxiang will be very sad if he finds out. After all, Minxiang has always liked sixth brother." Li Hongming said with a smile, "This king originally thought that sixth brother was a knowing crime, because Min Xiang deliberately made fun of her for not listening to you just now."
Li Hongyuan looked at him indifferently, "Oh, it turns out that in the eyes of outsiders, this king is such a small-bellied person who cares so much. Then, if Brother Sanhuang has anything to fear, remember to hold it tightly, so as not to be known by this king at any time, Take this to 'trick' the three emperors."
"Shut up." Emperor Lecheng was not a bloody emperor at first. In addition to his age, he hoped that his sons would be brothers and friends, and a harmonious family. He knew that this was impossible, and he knew that his sons were there. Secretly, because of the chair he was sitting on, he was fighting to the death. When it wasn't on the surface, he was still willing to deceive himself and speak in front of his face, but he couldn't set him on fire.
Concubine Su also gave them a warning look, telling them to shut up.
"Mother and concubine, go see Mingmin. My son seems to be quite frightened when she sees her. It should be better if there is mother and concubine at this time."
Concubine Su also knew that this was the case, and she was also very worried, "Na Yuan'er, wait for Mother Concubine, lunch..."
"Mother concubine, you can dine with you anytime, as long as you are not bothered by your sons, you can enter the palace every day to accompany you to dine with you. Forget it today, Minxiang is important."
Concubine Su was still a little hesitant.
"Imperial father, concubine mother, my son suddenly remembered that there is something else to do, so I will retire today." Without waiting for them to respond, they turned around and left after salute, still as arrogant and arrogant as ever. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, "Mother, what does Min Xiang like?"
Concubine Su was surprised, is she going to prepare a gift for Minxiang to apologize or to be shocked? She said with a smile, "She likes everything that a girl's family likes."
"... Got it." No matter what, encountering "casually" is the most troublesome.
Li Hongyuan was rarely warm for a while, and Emperor Lecheng was very happy. If it was against him, he would probably be even happier. He was so happy that he decided to compensate him by adding 30% to the things he had.
Li Hongming lowered his eyes to cover up all the emotions in his eyes, don't blame them even if they were raised by a mother concubine, he is just as jealous as other brothers, Li Hongyuan can do what he dares to do, they can't dare, they do a little bit Extraordinary things will be preached and reprimanded, but Li Hongyuan can catch a lot of wicked things, but at most, the father and the emperor shouted two words, the mother and concubine persuaded two words, the courtiers did not say anything, even the royal family did not speak. Shi Du kept his mouth shut. On the contrary, he did a little bit of loving brothers and sisters, caring for the elders, and he could make the father, mother and concubine happy, and they put all their effort into filial piety. "Have a heart" and nothing else.
This is the difference! It's a habit, it's a matter of course! Extraordinary can't be worse, and excellent can't be better. On the contrary, if an extraordinary person suddenly does something gratifying, it will immediately make people forget his bad things; and if an excellent and perfect person suddenly does something extraordinary, then the previous good will be beaten by a single pole. Turning it over, people only remember this incident, and they are still brooding about it. When encountering similar incidents in the future, they will immediately think of him, and they will never be able to wash them as cleanly as they were before they got stained.
As for Li Hongyuan's temperament, it is caused by the weather, the geographical advantage, and "people and people", and others cannot imitate it.
Li Hongming not only suspected that Li Hongyuan deliberately frightened Minxiang, but also suspected that he was the one who caused Minxiang to be afraid of the red juice. After all, after Minxiang's serious illness, he subconsciously feared and stayed away from Li Hongyuan. Of course, this was not obvious at the time, almost It was unnoticed that Minxiang was very sticky and liked Li Hongyuan very much when he was a child. He always followed him like a little tail. The temper is also getting worse and worse, and it seems reasonable for the two to be completely alienated, but Li Hongming feels a bit inconsistent. However, even if he suspected, there was no evidence. After all, Minxiang himself couldn't say why. Even if the mother-in-law checked, nothing was found.
Now Minxiang is afraid of him, what can you say? Many people are afraid of him. None of those proud, unruly, and mighty princess princesses dare to look at people with their nostrils in front of him.
If you let Li Hongyuan know what Li Hongming thinks, she will probably give her three words: very smart.
When Princess Minxiang was seven years old and Li Hongyuan was fourteen years old, no matter how tender his shell was, he could not stop him from being an emperor, a mature man who had gone through thousands of sails and read all kinds of hardships. Little girl, since he did that, there must be a reason, and it's not someone blocking his way, so he would do such a big thing, and go to great lengths to calculate a little girl, only because the sensitive Princess Xiang is related to Jing Wan.
This relationship is naturally in Li Hongyuan's previous life. After all, in his current life, Jingwan and Princess Minxiang have not been involved at all.
As for the person who caused Jingwan's fate, Princess Minxiang also has a share, because in her previous life, Princess Minxiang robbed Jingwan's fiance, Chen Zhengmin, with the respect of a princess.
If it weren't for the absence of Chen Zhengmin's fiancé, Li Ruyu would not have regarded Jing Wan, who is proficient in flowers and trees, as a threat that might win Sun Yilin's favor, and calculated her.
In the final palace exam, although Chen Zhengmin did not enter the first class, he was still the third place in the second class. Although no one would remember him better than the first class Tanhua Lang, he was only sixteen years old after all. Before, Princess Minxiang met Chen Zhengmin once by coincidence, and it may not be enough to make Princess Minxiang secretly agree with her, but in comparison, Chen Zhengmin is a very suitable husband-in-law candidate.
Princess Minxiang has reached the age of choosing a son-in-law, and Princess Shang means that the future is cut off. Generally, all ambitious men don't really like Princess Shang very much. Therefore, the princesses' last concubines are often not very satisfied with them. It is also pleasing to the eye when she meets a suitable one, but she has no background, so even if she knew that Chen Zhengmin had already had a marriage contract, she still begged Su Guifei desperately. Although Emperor Lecheng valued Chen Zhengmin's potential, but After all, Chen Zhengmin still has no achievements. There are so many outstanding talents. One more of him is not much, and one less of him is a lot. Then, knowing that Chen Zhengmin is neither married nor engaged, he naturally made a decision.
In fact, before Emperor Lecheng knew about it, Concubine Su Gui secretly put pressure on people to force the Chen family and the Luo family to break the engagement.
If it is to change to another family, just let one of the children and grandchildren, Princess Shang, even the best one, may not be unbearable. After all, it is only one person's future that is cut off, and it can also benefit other brothers, but Chen Zhengmin's family is different. His father is the only son of his grandfather, and he is the eldest grandson. Although he has two younger brothers under him, they are all descended from concubines, and they are all still young, less than ten years old. Who knows what the future will be like. As far as the family is concerned, it is definitely a very heavy blow, especially his mother. As a son, he pinned all his hopes on him. Suddenly, all hope was gone. You can imagine how much she hates her. , But the daughter-in-law is a princess, not only can't keep her mother-in-law's air, but also treat each other like an ancestor, the son also lives in the princess's mansion, and it may not be seen once in ten days and a half.
The world thinks that Chen Zhengmin is a docile sheep, but he actually has a wolf inside. She lost her beloved cousin and ruined her bright future. Her mother was depressed and washed her face with tears all day long. The so-called not to break out in silence, she died in silence. Wolf, Princess Minxiang was treated badly by him, but he didn't dare to say it. After a few years of marriage, he was not pregnant, and was scolded as a hen that didn't lay eggs. In fact, Chen Zhengmin never married her. To this extent, she never confided a word to Concubine Su, and those who knew about it afterwards were really "impressed" by Chen Zhengmin.
In the end, Li Hongyuan's success was due to Chen Zhengmin's contribution.
Although Sun Yilin's ability to govern the world, he can be regarded as the humerus minister under Li Hongyuan.
It stands to reason that if there is no Princess Minxiang to spoil the situation, Jingwan will eventually marry Chen Zhengmin, and her life will probably be smooth, and Li Hongyuan will have no chance to know that there is still a woman like Jingwan in the world. From this point of view, all push Jingwan to the top Those with a tragic fate should be regarded as Li Hongyuan's "noble people", but unfortunately, one yardage is one yardstick. All he sees is what Jingwan has suffered. He is reasonable.
A few days later, the birthday of the eldest princess was the opportunity for Princess Minxiang to meet Chen Zhengmin. Li Hongyuan did not know how she saw it. The only safe way was to trap Princess Minxiang in the palace, and Chen Zhengmin would not It is possible to enter the palace, completely isolate the two of them, and settle Chen Zhengmin's marriage before the palace exam. Even if Princess Minxiang has a crush on him, there is no previous relationship as a basis, and "new opponents" are added. "If it's not easy to solve, it can only be left to nothing.
If you let nature go and let Chen Zhengmin still be the princess, for Li Hongyuan, it is simply the most satisfying way to solve the "rival in love" on the premise of not killing the other party, but for some reasons, Li Hongyuan does not want to After breaking Chen Zhengmin's future, Princess Minxiang's method of robbing people can be used for reference, but it needs to be replaced.
Li Hongyuan made Princess Minxiang hide her "blood" many years ago. It was not so early to prepare for today. At that time, it was just a coincidence. As a party, Jingwan herself didn't know that there was such a big enemy, and it was not uncommon for the rest to be reserved for later use.
Li Hongyuan recalled that a few years ago, the means used on Minxiang seemed to be a little "cruel". In essence, Minxiang's heart is not bad, but because she has been held in the palm of her hand and spoiled, all she wants is If you want to grab a hand, you will never think about the wishes of others. This is not just her, it should be a common problem of them.
At that time, because Li Hongyuan was trapped in the palace, he had no idea about Jingwan's situation. Although he knew that Jingwan should grow up peacefully in Qi'an Mansion, he was still very irritable because he couldn't see her, and he was often in the midst of confusion. In the state, I always need to find something to relieve the sullenness in my heart. A cat kept by Princess Minxiang happened to bump into his hand. She was in a good mood and chose a good place. She guided Minxiang to the door alone, in front of Min Xiang's face was cut alive by the cat, and he deliberately made it very bloody. Min Xiang's eyes were full of dazzling red, and his ears were full of the cat's screams, which lasted for a long time. Later, Minxiang was imprisoned, blindfolded, put the cat's corpse on her hand, and then took off the blindfolded black cloth, the bloody corpse pierced her brain in the strongest way, Xiang was frightened and fainted, and became seriously ill, but after waking up, he couldn't remember anything, and he fell into the problem of not seeing the red juice.
And just in case, from beginning to end, Li Hongyuan didn't let her see him, but he always let her vaguely feel his existence.
If he wants to stimulate Minxiang to get sick, no one can do it better than him.
