Okay, after thinking about it more, they followed the formal aristocratic procedures when meeting each other, there was no tension at all, and they were treated as if they were distinguished guests.
Li Xiuning led his people to greet him outside the palace gate, his attitude was respectful, and he did not give anyone any chance to criticize due to etiquette. He just saw Li Chun approaching with a long sword hanging from his waist, and his pupils shrank involuntarily.
The "notoriety" of Princess Li Chun of Fufeng County suddenly became concrete in her mind.
Of course, she didn't have anything to fear. When he led the women's army to fight, he saw countless evil people. If someone tried to scare her with a sword, that was simply out of the blue.
"We said goodbye to each other in Yun Nei that day, but we saw her again today, but she has already changed beyond recognition. It is really sad."
The two of them entered the mansion surrounded by people, and Li Xiuning said with emotion.
Li Chun looked at her from time to time, comparing it with the aristocratic girl he saw in Yunnei, and seeing that she was calm and self-possessed, without looking humble, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But her calm demeanor, which is different from other women, makes people unable to feel disgusted. Li Chun reluctantly admitted that she is indeed well-deserved.
To be able to stand up as a woman in the midst of crisis, her reputation as a woman is certainly worthy of her reputation.
But what shocked her when they met was that Li Xiuning's belly was slightly bulging, and she was obviously pregnant. She was still a little confused now, and she would look at the other person's belly from time to time, looking like she was being very naughty.
You can touch it at any time to see if it is genuine.
At this time, I heard that the other party wanted to reminisce about the past, and I couldn't help but mutter in my heart, at that time, you only had eldest brother and sister-in-law in your eyes, and how did you ever look at me? But he said: "Yes, I was still young at that time, and all the laughter and curses were caused by
Heart, where is it now?"
While he was perfunctory, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Li Xiuning's belly a few times.
Li Xiuning was actually looking at Li Chun, and she was a little envious when she saw that his back was straight and straight, his heroic spirit could not be concealed, he was full of energy and full of energy, as if he was about to fly into the sky at any time.
It's just that this person's eyes are a bit dishonest, which makes people want to go up and poke them twice to relieve their hatred.
It can be said that they are all among the most noble women in the world. They are also products of the troubled times in the late Sui Dynasty. They are twelve times stronger than the noble women in ordinary times.
With their own characteristics, it is actually difficult to tell them apart, but they are completely different in terms of their origins and experiences, which also makes their temperaments very different.
Now they are all middle-aged. Li Xiuning has mastered the principles of righteousness and peace, and is graceful in dealing with others. But Li Chun... it's hard to say, he is lively and full of evil ideas, free and easy-going like a horse.
A wild horse that has escaped the reins.
If she hadn't been restrained by someone else, she might have left Chang'an and traveled around the world long ago.
They were similar in age, so when they walked together, they naturally started to compare each other vaguely. After just a little contact, they realized that they couldn't overpower each other, so they gave up.
And after all, Li Chun is still Li Xiuning's sister-in-law. With this kind of relationship, they each have their own concerns, and the feeling is inexplicable.
When Li Xiuning saw Li Chun's eyes coming over again, she couldn't help but caress her belly, waved her hands to keep people away, and then said with a generous smile: "It's been more than two months, and you will need more bloodlines around the end of this year."
When your close relatives come out, I will congratulate you here first."
Li Chun grinned unceremoniously. If someone else had made this joke to her, she would have burst out laughing. Now, she wanted to laugh but couldn't. She couldn't help but curse in her heart, "Bah, how shameless."
She asked tangledly, "Brother, does he know?"
Li Xiuning showed a hint of cunning, "If you know it, he will naturally know it, don't you think so?"
Li Chun rolled his eyes and refused to answer the question. He looked around and said meaningfully: "It's hard to talk about this matter. I don't want to have to deal with it."
Li Xiuning understood what she meant. It was really hard to talk about this matter. Regardless of whether they were born male or female, it was always troublesome for members of the royal family to live outside the family.
As for whether Li Po knew about it... he found out about it a little late, and he didn't leave the palace for a long time. It wasn't until Li Xiuning gradually became pregnant that someone secretly reported it to the palace.
That was what happened in April. At that time, Li Po was worried about alliances, imperial examinations and other matters, and couldn't get away. He has not yet visited the mansion.
I just sent a few royal doctors to take care of me, but they were very scumbag.
While they were talking, the main hall of the mansion arrived. Li Xiuning held back his invitation to invite guests, but Li Chun was not polite and went to the hall first.
But she didn't try to grab the main position, as that would have been too intense. After all, she wasn't here to raise an army to punish anyone.
It's just that Li Xiuning really wanted her to leave the sword outside. How would it be inappropriate for a woman to walk around with a sword all day long?
Fufeng Li's family style seems to really need to be improved.
Of course, it's not her turn to worry about it.
The guests and hosts were seated, and tea and soup were served first. Wine and food were actually prepared, but Li Xiuning was not sure whether this person would accept the hospitality, so he wanted to talk first and see what she was doing here.
There was a tower in front of him who said a few words and made some jokes. Li Xiuning calmed down more and more. At this time, he smiled and said: "People don't come to my house very often. If there is anything wrong with the reception, I'll give it a try."
Please don’t take offense, princess."
Her manner is gentle and polite, with a sense of intimacy. Of course, there are not many people who can treat her like this, whether before or in the future.
At this time, Li Chun had taken off his sword and laid it across his knees. He was sitting as straight as a pine tree. This was the sitting posture that Li Xiuning admired the most. She was extremely polite and very picky.
Except for her parents and Li Po, if anyone else in this world is disrespectful in front of her, she will be displeased. This is a problem she suffered when she was leading soldiers. As a woman leading soldiers, she must pay attention to dignity and rules.
Otherwise, how could the soldiers under her command be driven by her?
Li Chun couldn't help but glance at her belly again, but it was hidden under the case, but she couldn't see it.
"I thought you would avoid seeing me, but I didn't want to..." Li Chun shook his head and smiled, "Actually, I have never understood something very well. Today I want to ask you in person. Don't take offense if I offend you."
Li Xiuning is such a smart person. Hearing these words, he already knew roughly what she wanted to ask. He gradually put away his smile, nodded gently and said: "We are not outsiders, so if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to speak out."
Li Chun thought about the wording. She had been holding some words in her heart for a long time. She didn't dare to ask her eldest brother. In her opinion, asking was in vain. He was on his own and didn't want to tell you. Don't expect to hear the truth.
If she is forced to do anything, he will definitely hit her on the head and find some embarrassing things for her to do.
For example, give birth to a baby as soon as possible or something.
"Speaking of our two families... we have been enemies of each other for a long time. When my eldest brother and we were in Yunnei, the soldiers and civilians of Yunnei fought against the Turks and suffered heavy casualties. At that time, Li... Li Gong stayed behind for Taiyuan, but there was no soldier.
The soldiers came to help, but they were not even given a grain of food and grass. Every time the elder brother talked about it, he felt deeply angry.
Later, armies were raised against each other, and the hatred became deeper and deeper, until they marched into the capital... When both father and brother were dead, why did you still meet your eldest brother? Isn't hatred of country and family stronger than love? "
It's like fighting against someone, going straight to the point.
This was also the first time that someone had directly revealed the bloody past in front of Li Xiuning. Even when she was getting along with Li Po, she would never mention those entangled past events again because they had a tacit understanding and bond.
Li Chun is different. She doesn't worry too much when she is happy. Moreover, she is indeed worried about her eldest brother's safety. If the person sharing the same bed has different ambitions, it will be difficult to guard against it.
As she spoke, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle. After she finished speaking, her hand was already on the hilt of the sword, and she was a little entangled in her heart. If she told lies, should I go up and stab her twice?
As for how she distinguishes between true and false, that is her own self-confidence. As her teacher Yan Luren said, in front of a swordsman, you can tell whether the true feelings are true or false.
Li Xiuning had already anticipated what she would say, so her mood did not fluctuate much. Moreover, this question had circulated in her mind for thousands of times, and she already had the answer.
But what she didn't expect was that the person who asked this question was not Li Po or Queen Li Bi, but Li Chun.
As for her relatives, whoever dares to question her face to face must be impatient...and they all still need to seek shelter under her wings. It's too late to ask her, so how can they prick her where it hurts?
The most he can do is scold her secretly.
Her expression gradually turned gloomy, "I didn't expect that it would be you who asked me... There's nothing that can't be said, and in fact, it doesn't require too much explanation.
When your eldest brother and I met, you were also with us. At that time, the two families were in harmony. Later, he sent people to Chang'an and saved the lives of many people in the Li family, and we were connected.
It is unusual for us to meet and know each other in troubled times. Moreover, fate has played a trick on us, and we actually fought against each other for a long time.
When he led his troops to cross the river, I was leading my troops to garrison Okura by the river. I was also preparing to lead my troops to a charge to prevent him from crossing the river. But my uncle retreated too fast and didn't have time. You think it's ridiculous.
laugh?
So, when two countries are fighting, each is its own master. How can there be any distinction between right and wrong? No matter how much blood is shed, it is only for justice and does not involve personal relationships.
Besides, my father and brother died... but the Li family in Longxi is still there. If I don't protect them, more blood will be shed. Just imagine the helplessness of this. If you change the place, what should you do?
how?
In fact, these words should not have been spoken, but you are his closest relative, and it doesn’t matter if he confides in you..."
After hearing this, Li Chun immediately regretted it. Why did he ask this? He couldn't tell the truth from the false, but it made him feel quite uncomfortable. Why bother?
Brother is such a smart person. He is the only one who can deceive others. How can he be deceived by others?
It took her a long while to hold back a sentence, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Of course, it was just a little uncomfortable. There would be no sympathy. When she and her brother walked out in the wind and snow in Mayi, their hearts were already as hard as iron. Whether the Li family in Longxi died or not had nothing to do with her. Others
