After a while, the palace maid returned to Mrs. Xiao holding a box.
Mrs. Xiao opened the box, took a look at the waistband that still looked crystal clear even at night, and sighed.
This jade pendant was originally made by Yang Guang and given to his nephew Yang Hao. After Yang Hao died, Pei Ju ordered his people to quietly return the jade pendant to the Xiao family. He didn't say anything, but the meaning was expressed clearly.
Yang Hao is dead.
This is also one of the few valuables that Mr. Xiao can still keep with him.
After closing the box, Mrs. Xiao ordered: "You go and deliver it to the lady in charge of the house. There is no need to say anything else. Just follow the rules."
I have to say, this gift is a bit inappropriate. Li Po is about to become king, so it is somewhat unlucky for you to send Yang Hao's relics.
But Ms. Xiao felt that it was a good gift. After all, this was something belonging to Yang Liang's lineage. If... it would be returned to the original owner. Besides, there were no precious things left around her that fit the scene.
This is the Fang Panlong Pei.
Although Panlong is the lowest type of dragon, it has a pretty good meaning. It is rarely seen on accessories. Things that are related to dragons can be considered serious and exclusive to the royal family.
I think the lady would not be so reckless about wearing it and would pass it on to her brother.
And since it was a gift from her, according to etiquette, wouldn’t the lady in charge of the palace come to the palace for a visit?
He went around in a circle just to meet this woman in a reasonable way. This was the most common method used by nobles in the palace, but it didn't require much thought.
The only thing that made Mrs. Xiao a little uneasy was that this move seemed to be a tacit scheme. She had seen some palace ladies sending things out like this in the past.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xiao's face felt a little hot, but then she thought about it, those who could have this misunderstanding must be smart people, but they didn't worry about their nonsense, maybe there would be some benefits...
Well, after being a queen and being homeless for so long, Xiao's psychology is a little twisted.
At this time, Li Po didn't know that the queen who lived alone in the palace still dared to scheme against him. He returned to the house in a good mood. When he saw his mother-in-law, he was well prepared and could handle the jealousy at home with ease.
Li Bi has been with him for many years, and now her status has risen to such a level that even she is surprised when she thinks about it, so her actions are no longer as aggressive as before.
Of course, she would never admit that those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black. In fact, whether it is her or Li Chun, the red-eyed Ashina Rongzhen is subtly different from the previous ones.
They are all becoming more and more cunning.
There is nothing you can do, others are smarter, but if you remain unchanged, you will be bullied too much...
Like Wang Qi, who is well-educated and sensible, and Ashi Tianxiang, who is straight-forward, they are all doormats, not to mention first-come, first-served, etc. You just can't change your mind.
When Li Po returned to the mansion, what was waiting for him was a very sumptuous table of wine and food. Not only Li Bizai, Li Chun, Hong Yanzhu, Ashi Tianxiang, and even Wang Qi were all brought over.
Even if Li Po was mentally prepared, he was stunned by the room full of Yingying Yanyan.
As for that? What are you doing here at the three-chamber trial?
He threw off his cloak and was immediately picked up by Li Chun, who was laughing like a little fox. Li Po really wanted to slap him. You are a person who doesn't think it's a big deal just to watch the fun. I raised you in vain.
Now this girl is different from before. She has achieved some success in swordsmanship. According to the Yanlu people, what she lacks is just a bit of murderous spirit. The meaning is very clear. She has taught everything that needs to be taught. Kill more people. Swordsmanship
Sooner or later there will be a great day.
Not to mention, Li Po came back this time and brought Gu Yan back. He was a serious swordsman from Jiangnan. He also killed the ogre king Zhu Can with one sword. He killed a Yanlu man who could kill a hundred thousand people.
indivual.
Moreover, the path taken in swordsmanship is completely different from that of the Yanlu people. If it were back then, the Yanlu people would definitely take the sword to compete with others.
But over the years, Yanlu people are no longer young. Last year, Li Bi acted as a matchmaker and married a daughter of a Jinyang family. The body was almost worn out, and the unparalleled murderous aura finally subsided.
.
With Li Chun, a disciple who was better than his predecessors, a gentle and virtuous mother-in-law, and a fat boy, Yan Lu felt that his life was quite complete.
So he had no interest in the Jiangnan swordsman that Li Po brought back from outside, but he asked his apprentice to ask for advice from others, which made sense.
Back then, your master suffered from the disadvantages of being self-proclaimed. After he became successful in swordsmanship, he became a little arrogant, so he joined the army and killed many people. It is true that his swordsmanship has improved, but it has reached its peak.
According to what your master said back then, sword practice requires not only talent, understanding, and perseverance, but also more competition with people of the same discipline in order to go all the way.
But your master killed mostly unknown people and could not compete with the real masters of swordsmanship, so his skills only stopped here and he could not become a master of swordsmanship.
You can't do this...
In fact, Yan Lu taught him all the way, and he knew all about his apprentice's shortcomings.
The biggest flaw is not anything else, but her increasingly valuable status. With such a brother, the apprentice wants to fight with others in the future... Well, I'm a bit overthinking... Maybe Li Chun hasn't fought with others yet.
Countless Yanlu people had already rushed forward.
But now Yan Luren sees another benefit, that is, as more and more strange people and strangers come to Li Po's side, his apprentice will definitely have much more knowledge than others.
Even if you don't fight life and death, if you get along with these people for a long time, your swordsmanship will naturally improve.
For example, take the new big woman, others may look at her appearance first, but Yanlu people don't know that she must have been practicing swordsmanship for a few years.
Of course, he had never fought before and didn't know the extent of the opponent's skills, but this did not prevent him from asking his apprentice to ask for advice.
So, a few days after Li Po came back, the girl at home began to embark on a journey to learn from the strengths of other families.
But Li Chun still had a teacher here, an old scholar from the Wang family in Jinyang who had been teaching the lady in charge of the house for some time with a cane.
The results are not very impressive, but that's how learning literature is. The process of slowly accumulating is quite long, and is actually much more difficult than learning martial arts.
But even though the time was still short, Li Chun gradually became infected with the scent of books. Even though he was jumping around like a rabbit at home, when he went out, he looked like a lady and looked a bit like a lady.
Of course, Li Chun, who gradually became both civilized and martial arts, was definitely different from others in temperament. The confidence and sharpness brought by practicing swordsmanship for many years, and the restrainedness and peace formed by reading and practicing calligraphy finally caused a great conflict in her, and began to
Wonderfully blended together.
This trait was not uncommon among women later on, but it is relatively rare these days. It is probably only found in the land of Kansai, but it is rare in the land of Jin.
For Li Po and his wife, the consequence is that Li Chun is becoming more and more difficult to discipline. In time, if you want to suppress her with force, I have a sword in my hand, and I have the world. If you want to talk to her, I will.
One and a half Analects of Confucius governs the world, well, people with both civil and military skills are so annoying...
In fact, Li Chun is not smarter than Li Po and Li Bi, but she has more free time and can slowly enrich herself. Li Po and his wife are not as good as Li Po. What they need to face is the oncoming wind and frost.
Rain and snow must be given up in other places.
Otherwise, let alone Li Bi, who was born in a wealthy family, with Li Po's intelligence and his extraordinary resilience, he should be able to achieve success in everything he studies.
In fact, Li Po didn't regret raising his girl like this. Instead, he felt quite proud. We, the Li family, should be different.
Li Po is not worried about Li Chun's marriage. He has that confidence. No matter what kind of husband Li Chun chooses or what kind of family background he has, he will not dare to treat Li Po's sister lightly.
In addition, Li Chun herself is not a woman who swallows losses when she suffers. Most likely, what her brother will have to face after getting married is not that Li Chun comes to him crying to complain about her grievances, but that her husband's family has something to do with it.
grievance.
Thinking of this, Li Po rubbed the girl's head. Li Chun naturally did not suffer like a cat like she did when she was a child, but one thing was the same, that is, she enjoyed her brother's intimacy.
At this time, Li Chun's face was full of smiles, and he said with a smile, "Brother, have you eaten the food and wine? My sister-in-law has been preparing for a long time, and she wants to cleanse her from the dust."
Tsk tsk, what you said... Li Po suddenly felt a little more embarrassed, while Li Bi was full of black lines, sowing discord and fanning the flames. He, this girl, really wanted to kick the jealous person to the ground.
Li Po hummed a few times, sat down on the table, turned around and looked around, thinking to himself, where is his little boy? With him here, the evil spirit in this room will not be so strong.
Li Bi smiled brightly and poured him wine and food. Li Po also smiled with bared teeth. No matter how hard you pretend, who doesn't know that the most ferocious tigress in our house is you?
But he said: "Thank you madam, we are indeed very hungry at the end of the day."
Red Eyes came closer to her out of habit. Her attachment to Li Po had always been obvious, but after being with Li Po for a long time, she was no longer so simple. Look at this, look at that, whether she is relying on him or not.
On Li Po.
Wang Qi in the corner lowered his head and rustled and didn't know what he was writing. Ash Tianxiang happily picked up the wine flask. It was finally time to start eating, and he would eat more soon...
After giving her husband a little bit of power and letting him know that there were a lot of women in the house and not to mess around with women outside, Li Bi also started to be unforgiving.
