Looking at the current Tang Dynasty, there are many ambitious women, but there are only two women with real brains. One is Princess Taiping, and the other is Shangguan Wan'er. Although Shangguan Wan'er lives in a deep palace, she has eyes all over the place.
Throughout the court, like Li Longji and Princess Taiping, she also arranged undercover cronies in the homes of royal relatives who were related to her interests. But her purpose of doing so was different from theirs.
They all want to covet the throne of the emperor, and Wan'er wants to better protect herself. From the moment she can remember, she has lived in the shadow of being ransacked and made a slave, so she has never felt safe in her heart.
, always thinking about making herself as safe as possible. For this purpose, she really tried her best.
As soon as Cui Shi walked into Princess Anle's mansion, Wan'er got the news. She even knew clearly what Anle was wearing today. But she didn't feel angry about it. On the contrary, she felt that this was a
A good opportunity. Because although she was hooking up with Cui Shi, she didn't really love Cui Shi in her heart, she was just greedy for his beauty. In Shangguan Wan'er's heart, there was only one man she really cared about, and that was
Li Longji. Now, in the court, there are already some discussions about her relationship with Cui Shi. Wan'er has been worried that if these discussions reach Li Longji's ears, it will affect Li Longji's view and affection for her.
.So she had long wanted to find an opportunity to clear up her relationship with Cui Shi in front of Li Longji. This time was really a God-given opportunity.
So Wan'er immediately called her personal maid and ordered:
"Go to the queen's place and keep an eye on her. The King of Linzi should greet the queen at this time. See when he will come out and send a message back immediately."
The maid was trained by Shangguan Wan'er, so she immediately understood what Wan'er meant, nodded, and walked out.
In a short time, the news came back that King Linzi was leaving the palace.
At this time, Wan'er had already packed up, and she couldn't explain why. As long as there was a chance of seeing Li Longji, she would dress up carefully. This may also mean that she was indeed moved.
Li Longji walked out of Queen Wei's palace and just walked onto the path leading outside, when he happened to see Wan'er walking towards her.
Li Longji greeted him with a smile:
"What a coincidence?"
"Maybe I deliberately wanted to bump into the prince?" Wan'er covered her mouth and smiled softly, alluringly.
Li Longji also cooperated very well and showed the kind of smile that can charm women the most. He took a step forward, got closer to Wan'er, and lowered his voice:
"Then I'd be flattered."
Wan'er glared at him pretending to be angry, as if she was blaming him for not being so frivolous in public, but everyone could see that at this moment, she was feeling infinite joy in her heart because Li Longji was frivolous towards her.
"You brothers and sisters are really the same. You always hurt women's hearts, while Princess Anle wants to charm all the men in the world." Wan'er naturally turned the topic to Anle.
"Haha, really?" Li Longji laughed dryly. He didn't really want to talk about Anle's private matters.
But Wan'er refused to stop and continued:
"Don't you know yet? Cui Shijiu has become a guest of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Li Longji was stunned. He really didn't know the news. Moreover, he also heard that there was some confusion between Wan'er and Cui Shi. So now that Wan'er suddenly mentioned this matter, Li Longji couldn't help but look at it with vigilance.
Wan'er couldn't guess her intentions at first glance.
Wan'er laughed again:
"Why do you look at me like this? Have you also believed those rumors outside?"
Li Longji did not expect Wan'er to be so direct. Before he could think of how to answer, Wan'er spoke again:
"Don't think that I don't know. There are always some gossips out there who gossip about me. Now that it's all right, the minister has become a guest of Anle Mansion, and those rumors have been disproven. I really have to thank the princess very much.
Your Highness saved me."
Wan'er carefully observed Li Longji's face while speaking, but found that Li Longji's expression became inexplicably gloomy. She couldn't help but feel puzzled, so she had to say in a gentler voice:
"What? You don't believe me?"
"Ah? Oh, of course I believe it." Li Longji came to his senses after being asked by Wan'er, and quickly replied. He now understood Wan'er's intention in saying these words to him, but his current thoughts were not on Wan'er.
Regarding his relationship with Cui Shi, he was thinking about another thing:
"You mean, Cui Shi is in and out of Anle Mansion all day now?"
"Yes, he is at the princess's place right now."
Li Longji nodded thoughtfully, then bowed slightly toward Wan'er:
"I have something else to do today, so I have to leave the palace. I will greet Zhaorong another day." After all, he was in front of outsiders, so Li Longji still had to abide by these rules.
Seeing that Li Longji was about to leave in a hurry, Wan'er had no choice but to bid farewell to Li Longji according to etiquette. Until a long time after Li Longji left, she was still thinking about this question:
'Why did his expression change immediately when he heard that Cui Shi was in and out of Anle Mansion? Cui Shi shouldn't have anything to do with his ambitions?'
Li Longji left the palace and no longer had to face Shangguan Wan'er. The cloud on his face became more obvious. Wan'er's words were like a sudden rainstorm, appearing inexplicably and destroying people's mood.
It's a complete mess!
Li Longji had heard about Wan'er and Cui Shi a long time ago, but he didn't take it too seriously. Although he and Wan'er also had some personal feelings, he was not too sincere towards Wan'er. He was more interested in Wan'er.
It's just appreciation. So I don't mind that there are other men having an affair with Wan'er.
However, when Wan'er told him that Cui Shi was now in and out of Anle Mansion all day long, he felt inexplicably irritable, because in Princess Anle's Mansion, there was not only Princess Anle, but also Fang Mingzhu!
Mingzhu had already provoked Wang Wei, and Li Longji was really afraid that she would provoke Cui Shi again. Through such long-term contact with Mingzhu, he became more and more convinced of Mingzhu's unique charm. And through Wang Wei's deep love for Mingzhu
, Li Longji was even more sure that Mingzhu must be a peerless beauty, otherwise she would not have been so enamored by the great talent Wang Wei - of course, even without Wang Wei, he had already confirmed this. In Li Longji's heart, he has always been
I think the pearl looks like a fairy!
And Cui Shi has always been famous for his handsome appearance and his ability to please women. Li Longji is really worried that Mingzhu will provoke Cui Shi again because of his boredom. As for Cui Shi, he wants to seduce beautiful women when he sees them.
After seeing the pearl, all the swingers will of course flock to her.
Li Longji didn't realize that before he knew it, he had begun to hate Cui Shi from the bottom of his heart!
Li Longji did not seriously think about why he had these strange thoughts. He only had one thought in his mind now - to see Mingzhu immediately, warn her, and let her concentrate on studying the issue of seeking power and usurping the throne, instead of doing nothing.
related things.
Invisibly, Li Longji has turned into a jealous husband.
When the people from Anlefu saw Li Longji, they hurriedly came up to him with a smile:
"I have met the prince."
"Where's the princess?"
"We are hosting a banquet for Mr. Cui."
"What about Miss Fang?"
"Miss Fang?" the attendant was stunned for a moment, "She should be in the backyard. If she is in the mansion, she will be either with the princess or in her room. She doesn't tend to go anywhere else."
"She didn't attend the princess's banquet?" Li Longji didn't want to ask so directly, but he still couldn't control himself and asked.
"No." The attendant said firmly.
Upon hearing that Mingzhu was not at the banquet, Li Longji felt a little more comfortable:
"Then I'll go for a walk in the backyard. I'll see the princess again after the banquet is over. You don't need to follow her."
"yes."
Li Longji walked through the backyard and walked directly to Mingzhu's residence. The door was actually wide open. Li Longji thought Mingzhu was in the room. Just as he was about to go in, he heard a woman's voice coming from the house:
"King Linzi? Why are you here?"
Li Longji was stunned, looked up, and saw a strange woman sitting in the room. He had definitely never seen this woman before, but he felt that her voice sounded familiar.
"Who are you?" Li Longji asked hesitantly.
"What? You don't recognize me anymore?" The woman also looked strange, but she soon felt relieved, touched her face and said, "Oh, I forgot, my appearance was given to Mingzhu
, I am a woman who forgets her worries."
Li Longji also remembered at this moment that the voice of the woman in front of him was that of Mingzhu's sister.
"Are you here to find the Pearl?" Wangyounu asked.
Li Longji was a little embarrassed when she asked her:
"Oh, I, that, no, I'm just on my way..."
Wangyounu waved her hand and interrupted Li Longji:
"Okay, stop hesitating. I am the patron saint of the Fang family. I am only responsible for the safety of the pearl. I don't care about other things..." What Wangyounu said was also true, so her attitude was extremely calm.
.
"Patron Saint?" Li Longji heard this name for the first time.
"You don't have to worry about this, this is our business. I came to see Mingzhu, but I don't know where she went. I have been waiting for a while, and I guess she will be back soon. Since you are here now, then
Just wait for her, I'm leaving."
As Wangyounu spoke, she stood up and walked out. Li Longji quickly said:
"No, you have something to do..."
"I can find her at any time..." Wangyou Nu said as she walked out of the room. Her body moved slightly and bounced up. Before Li Longji could understand, Wangyou Nu had already
There was no trace.
Li Longji was stunned:
'This woman is so good at Qinggong that she just left out of thin air in broad daylight!'
