Chapter 31: Steps

"Marquis Xuan is still young, so it is better for His Royal Highness to take care of him, so as not to slip away any more." Gao Huanquan bowed his hand and said to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was once again unreasonable. Because Gao Huanquan implicated Jinyang's assassination, he was disliked. Now he wanted to marry Jinyang again, which was simply a delusion. Li Chengqian's opinion on Gao Huanquan even more.

It is too inferior to criticize others with excuses like Xuan Shijing's age.

Li Chengqian's expression was normal, but he only smiled slightly. Although he didn't want to pay attention to Gao Huanquan, in this occasion, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he still had to maintain some demeanor in front of many ministers and envoys of foreign countries. If he blatantly defended Xuan Shijing, he might be ill in the future.

"Forget it." Before Li Chengqian could speak, His Majesty Li Er said, "It's just a cup, don't make a fuss. Come on, and change it to Jing'er." His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and revealed the small episode.

Although Xuan Shijing's actions disturbed the court officials, they also interrupted Gao Huanquan's words. His Majesty Li Er was also disliked Gao Huanquan. How could such a person be worthy of his little squirrel?

Gao Huanquan was an uninteresting person, or the current situation in Goguryeo forced him to tactfully marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty. A few years ago, Gao Jianwu was worried that the Tang Dynasty would attack Goguryeo. If this was the case, according to the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, Goguryeo would not be able to withstand it. After all, in the past few years, the places pointed to by the Tang Dynasty's military peaks were invincible. So Gao Jianwu ordered the construction of the Great Wall. With the blockade of the Great Wall, it could at least block the Tang army for a long time. Liaodong is a bitter and cold place, and it is not suitable for a large army to fight for a long time. Over time, the Tang army retreated.

But what Gao Jianwu did not expect was that the Great Wall had not been repaired and the Tang Dynasty had not come to attack Goguryeo. Some very bad signs did appear in Goguryeo, so Gao Jianwu sent Gao Huanquan to the Tang Dynasty and eliminated dissidents in Goguryeo. If Gao Huanquan could really marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, then the previous worries would no longer exist.

However, Gao Jianwu had never expected that he forced Quan Gai Suwen too quickly, and Quan Gai Suwen sent a killer to the Tang Dynasty to assassinate Gao Huanquan, and Gao Huanquan's performance also made some people in the Tang Dynasty very despise.

Gao Huanquan was also unsure. After all, the princess he asked to marry was also on the boat that day, so he was also worried. However, for Goguryeo, he had to bite the bullet and open up again.

"Your Majesty, look at the marriage between Xiao Wang and Princess Jinyang..."

"Bang!"

A wine glass shone against Li Ke again, but this time it was not hit on the ground, but directly on Gao Huanquan's table.

"Xuan Shijing!" Even though Gao Huanquan was worried about the Tang Dynasty, he could not help but explode by Jiahe who was like Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing sorted out the collar on his chest and said calmly: "I accidentally slid my hand again."

Such obvious targeting made the ministers in Linde Hall start to whisper.

"Jing'er, don't mess around!" His Majesty Li Er looked gloomy, looked at Gao Huanquan, and then looked at Xuan Shijing.

Deyi, who had followed His Majesty Li Er for many years, stood behind His Majesty Li Er. Seeing His Majesty Li Er's appearance, he knew that His Majesty Li Er must have been angry, but he didn't know that this anger was Gao Huanquan's ungratefulness or Xuan Shijing's willfulness Hu Wei.

Deyi hurriedly winked at Xuan Shijing. This was a state banquet in Linde Hall. It was just a mess on the occasion of a riot and beat the prince of the king. It would be fine. When it comes to the little princess of Jinyang, with His Majesty, he turned big things into small things. But now he has lost face in front of so many people, how do many envoys of the country view it?

Xuan Shijing felt a little regretful. Both wine glasses were aimed at Gao Huanquan before they were smashed out. The first one was not in control of the direction, and the second one fell on Gao Huanquan's table except for a little deviation. Because the wound on his right arm had not completely healed, Xuan Shijing now uses his left hand no matter what he does.

"Jing'er, can the wound on the arm heal?" Empress Changsun's eyes were like a riveting. Seeing Xuan Shijing's right hand hanging down, she asked. However, when the wound on Xuan Shijing's hand was mentioned at this moment, it would be a bit of a change of subject, but the princes and ministers present suddenly realized that there was still some rift between the Marquis of Dongshan and Prince Rongliu, and they forgot about this matter.

All the ministers were talented. After thinking about Gao Huanquan's assassination in Chang'an City, it was no wonder that Dongshan Hou treated Gao Huanquan with no false expression.

When he was assassinated, as an old man, he actually hid behind a ten-year-old child and had the face to come and ask for marriage.

Never seen such a shameless person.

It is obvious that the ministers in the court had already found out through various means when Gao Huanquan was assassinated in Xuanwu Lake.

Xuan Shijing stood up, bowed to Empress Changsun and said, "The injuries on Xiaochen's body are no longer serious. Can Princess Jinyang be fine in the near future?"

Queen Changsun smiled and praised in her heart, she was indeed a smart child.

"Xizi was frightened outside the palace a few days ago. Now she is still in the palace. I am afraid she will have to raise her for a while. That day, thanks to Jing'er. If Jing'er hadn't fought to protect her, Xuzi wouldn't have been in the palace with all her tails."

Xuan Shijing and Empress Changsun had a happy chat, but Gao Huanquan, who was standing there, was embarrassed. Both Xuan Shijing and Empress were all pointing out, and it was nothing more than his performance when he was assassinated that day.

Now Gao Huanquan has long regretted it. If he didn't do that, even if he was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead due to minor injuries, it would be better than hiding behind him. Judging from the emperor and the empress, he might be over when he asked to marry Princess Jinyang.

Whatever he said was frightened was completely an excuse. Gao Huanquan thought to himself that day, Princess Jinyang shot three times on the boat and killed two assassins. A little Shura who could kill people would be scared? When interrogating the assassin in the palace, the bloody scene did not see the little Shura moving even.

After all, this matter was because Gao Huanquan's performance disappointed His Majesty Li Er. So when it was reported that there were foreign countries in Honglu Temple to marry the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Er rejected Gao Huanquan in his heart. First, Gao Huanquan's character really made His Majesty Li Er look down on him. Second, Goguryeo is afraid that marriage with the Tang Dynasty will not change the current situation. There must be a battle between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, so why bother to get in another princess?

"Gao Huanquan." His Majesty Li Er put down his wine glass and his eyes fell on Gao Huanquan: "You were there on the day of assassination. These days have passed, are you in good health?"

After all, Gao Huanquan is still a prince, so he has to give him a step.

Gao Huanquan bowed: "Your Majesty, Xiao Wang is no longer in trouble."

"That's good. After all, you are Gao Jianwu's son. If something goes wrong in Chang'an, I will not be able to explain to your father. Remember to bring more guards when you go out in the future. Even if the Jinwu Guard patrol in Chang'an City is secret, the consequences will be unpredictable once such a thing happens." His Majesty Li Er said.
