Chapter 124 Deep Thought
When Li Sui accompanied Mr. Chen to have dinner and left, the sky was filled with red clouds and the sun was setting in the west. With the soft curtains gently blowing, Nian Nu had put a thick and soft fox fur cloak on Li Sui.
It was getting colder outside. Li Sui turned to look at Mrs. Chen who stood up and came to see her off, and said with gentle words of dissuasion: "My mother, please go back and have some rest. I'll come back to see you after Baoying and Erlang get married in a few days."
Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and smiled and nodded. At this moment, careful footsteps sounded. Li Sui looked around and saw a plainly dressed woman with a kind face holding a thickly wrapped child.
When she came, the woman suddenly saw her and froze, paused for a moment, and quietly hugged the children closer, and then respectfully and carefully bowed to them.
"The eldest princess——"
In the silence at this moment, Li Sui had already guessed the identity of the person coming. The next moment, he heard his mother beside him couldn't help but nervously scolded: "Why did you bring Erlang here in such a cold weather? Hurry up and bring him in."
Hearing Mrs. Chen's words, the woman quickly nodded and said, "We just had dinner and the servants played with Erlangjun for a while. They wanted to coax him to sleep for a while, but they never thought about Erlang."
You were making a fuss and refused to sleep. The slaves and maids secretly guessed that Erlangjun must be thinking about you, the eldest princess, so they came here despite the cold and hoped that the princess would forgive me."
When Mrs. Chen heard this, her frowning eyebrows relaxed, and then she saw that she was being hugged forward, raising her innocent and cute little face, shaking her hands towards the child who was about to pounce on her. She could no longer hold back, and brushed away the gentleness.
He smiled and said: "It turns out that Erlang misses his great-aunt. Come on, come here and give me a hug."
While speaking, Mrs. Chen had already hugged her grandnephew with deep bloodline in her arms, turned to Li Sui beside her and taught: "Look, Erlang, this is your Aunt Aman——"
Hearing Chen's words, the originally tense body of the woman beside him relaxed a little unnoticeably. Li Sui saw the child in Chen's arms looking at her with dazzling eyes, and the pupils were so clear and bright, like
That night when we stood on the calyx building and touched each other.
Looking at the innocent child in front of him, Li Sui couldn't help but think that her sister had conceived a boy for Emperor Yuan Cheng a few years ago, but unfortunately he was stillborn before full term. Even so, Emperor Yuan Cheng still made a tomb for the child.
, Fengguang was buried in the imperial mausoleum built for him, and was posthumously named Prince Chengen.
Years passed by, and if that child had not passed away, he would have been a noble man from heaven who had received the blessings of the heavenly family, learned the classics, principles, policies and methods of governing the country.
Thinking of this, Li Sui's brows were calm but there was a bit of inexplicable sadness, and an easy-going smile appeared on his lips. He never thought that the Qi King Li Ji in front of him was not afraid at all, but looked at her curiously.
In a moment, he stretched out his hand and wanted to get into her arms.
"Look, it's really a blood relationship that can't be broken-"
Seeing this harmonious and warm scene, Mrs. Chen smiled, but her eyes were slightly red. Seeing this, Li Sui did not expose it, but took Li Zhao with both hands, smiled and said to the nephew in front of him: "When I come today,
I just happened to bring some gadgets that you kids like—"
As he spoke, Li Sui turned to Mrs. Chen who was smiling silently beside him and said, "I saw that the children in Chang'an were gathered around the stuff at the vendor and refused to leave. They all liked it so much that they didn't pick any.
I bought all the Gulu children, and Erlang knew I was coming, so he ordered someone to make a bow and arrow that the child can use."
After saying that, Niannu smiled and ordered someone to bring up a small box. When he opened it, it was full of little tricks that children like. There was also a beautiful bow that was simple in carving, but exquisite and shiny. You could tell at a glance that it was a beautiful bow made of good craftsmanship.
Li Sui smiled and returned Li Zhao to the woman's hand, and then took out the exquisitely crafted children's carved bow. With a flick of his hand, it made a deep and deep sound. The next moment, Li Sui handed over the carved bow.
He showed it to Li Zhao. As expected, the child was very interested in these and immediately reached out to take them.
When Li Sui handed it to Li Zhao, the little man in front of him immediately took the carved bow into his hand excitedly. Although he smiled happily, he could only make a small and hoarse sound.
The originally hilarious scene suddenly fell silent at this moment. Li Sui's eyes dimmed and he stopped lingering. He turned around and bowed to Mrs. Chen before leaving. When he reached the wet nurse, he gently pinched the baby's face.
, then looked at the woman with a much calmer expression and said, "I can see that you take good care of Erlang."
Hearing Li Sui's words, the wet nurse was moved. When she raised her head, the person in front of her had already passed away, leaving only a beautiful and noble figure behind.
When Li Sui stepped on the dead leaves on the path step by step, facing the sunset, he heard the sound of broken leaves, which seemed particularly desolate in the quiet and quiet winter Taoist temple.
Realizing that Li Sui's expression was not good, Nian Nu followed carefully all the way, but suddenly he saw his princess gradually pause and look at the rouge-like sunset on the horizon. Although she said nothing, there was a faint smile between her eyebrows.
The sadness is extremely clear.
"Princess, what happened to you today——"
Hearing Nian Nu's soft inquiry, Li Sui turned to look, and when he met Nian Nu's worried eyes, he slowly blurted out: "Nian Nu, what if you have to borrow other people's things for yourself-"
Seeing Nian Nu's puzzled look, Li Sui smiled and shook her head, but did not say any more. She had been thinking about the marriage with Zhao Yi for a long time. If she had not been provoked by Princess Pengcheng today, she would have had to do this.
An Aniang's heart, she originally wanted to wait, wait for Zhao Yi to return, wait for Zhao Yi to be willing to make an alliance between the two of them -
From the moment she heard that Princess Pengcheng wanted to come to Yuqing Temple, Li Sui had already guessed that Pengcheng would definitely do this. Because she knew that Princess Pengcheng knew that her mother's position in the heart of her father Li Zhang could not be replaced by anyone.
.So what she said today was not for her, Li Sui, nor for her mother, the Chen family, but for Pengcheng himself, or their Chen family.
Princess Pengcheng wanted to use her to use family justice to shake her mother, and completely involve her mother in this battle, so that her mother could be used by the royal family and become a pawn to contain Li Zhang.
If one day my mother does not withdraw from the world like she does now, but stands on the opposite side of the Li family and becomes a defender of the royal family, then she and her father will be destined to face a battle that no one can win with a smile.
What Princess Pengcheng wanted was to get her father to surrender, and she even wanted to use this to drive the Li family to switch sides and become enemies of the Yang family.
What Peng Cheng was thinking about was a double-edged plan. If it worked, the royal family would get help from other members of the family. If it didn't work, she could borrow her mother's help. Yang Chongyuan would have to suspect that Li Zhang had wavered, thus alienating the Li family and the Yang family who were tied together by marriage.
weak alliance.
But Li Sui knew very well that even if Princess Pengcheng gathered the Li family, the Shangguan family, and the power of the Turks to destroy the Yang family, what would happen next?
The cunning rabbit dies and the running dog is cooked.
The royal family headed by Princess Pengcheng will not keep the Shangguan family, let alone see the Li family becoming the next Yang family.
How could she watch helplessly as Princess Pengcheng turned the Li family into a knife that could be used if it was useful, but could be discarded at any time if it was not useful?
Given Princess Pengcheng's deep thoughts, if she were not a man, she might be more suitable to be a ruthless and scheming emperor than the current Emperor Yuan Cheng.
But no matter how sympathetic they were, she would never allow anyone to influence her or the people around her.
Even though, that person still had some of the same blood as hers.
It's not enough to become her fear and constraint——
