"I have just recovered from a serious illness. Third sister still needs to rest." Princess Qin smiled and helped Princess Pingyang sit on the couch. "Are you feeling better today?"
Before Princess Pingyang could speak, Princess Qin looked at Li Shan who was standing aside and said, "If you want any medicinal materials, just ask someone to tell you."
Li Shanwei cupped his hand, but remained silent. He had heard similar words a lot these days, from the Crown Princess, Princess Qin, and the wives of various clans and princes.
Princess Pingyang glanced at Li Shan and said with a smile: "Actually, I was able to leave the house the day before yesterday. I haven't seen you for a long time... Li Langjun also said that occasionally walking in the yard is beneficial and harmless."
Among the three sisters-in-law, Princess Qin has visited the house the most often in the past month. She comes almost every five or six days to chat with Princess Pingyang for a while, but she never gets involved in other people's affairs.
And every time the Crown Princess comes, she will always remind you intentionally or unintentionally... Don't forget that it was the Crown Prince who recommended Li Shan and saved your life.
Princess Qi would also remind her from time to time... It was King Qi who pulled Chai Shao out immediately and invited Li Shan at night.
Princess Pingyang sighed in her heart. In the second year of Wude, she led her army to garrison in Jinyang... That year, the prince and the King of Qin led an army to attack Luoyang, but returned without success.
Originally, she thought that the next war would last for many years... so she never considered the battle for the reserve.
But unexpectedly, just two years later, the King of Qin swept through the Central Plains and captured two kings in one battle. His achievements were unparalleled and he was awarded the title of General Tiance, officially kicking off the fight for his heir apparent.
From then on, Princess Pingyang, who wanted to return to Chang'an, stayed in Jinyang, so she and her husband Chai Shao lived apart for a long time.
Unexpectedly... I ended up getting involved.
The topic of Princess Qin always falls on Jinyang. In the early years, when Li Yuan was serving as an official in other places, she stayed in Jinyang with Li Shimin, and she did not go back for nearly ten years.
After chatting for more than half an hour, Princess Qin stood up to say goodbye. She declined Princess Pingyang's offer and left the inner room. She stretched out her finger and pointed, "Won't you see me off, Mr. Li?"
Li Shan hesitated for a while, his steps were slow, and he saluted: "I will obey my order."
The two of them walked along the path to the outer courtyard. Princess Qin separated the maid and said with a smile: "Li Langjun has made a great contribution this time."
A person who assists Li Shimin wholeheartedly and will never abandon him... Li Shan felt that many in the past, but after coming to this era, he knew very well that Li Shimin had many loyal friends, but among his absolute confidants, only Changsun Wuji and Princess Qin were the brothers and sisters.
When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.
The reason is very simple. Fang Xuanling was born in the Fang family of Qinghe, and Du Ruhui was born in the Du family in Jingzhao. Although they were loyal to Li Shimin, they still had other choices... As for Changsun Wuji, Princess Qin only had one path, and they had no other choice.
To Princess Qin, Li Shanchang said what he wanted to say, "This is a private matter, but it also involves public affairs."
Princess Qin knew the importance of Princess Pingyang in the court and the army better than Li Shan. She said softly: "The prince's recommendation is meritorious. I heard that it was the Chang'an County Yamen who entered the East Palace and said that Li Langjun is Sun Simiao's disciple."
After a month and six visits, Princess Qin finally found a chance to talk to Li Shan and told him right away... that it was Li Dewu who caused the trouble.
Others couldn't see it, but the King of Qin and his wife knew it well... It was almost impossible to bring Princess Pingyang back from the gate of hell, who had been declared to be terminally ill by the doctors.
On that day, the sage Li Yuan had already ordered that all the doctors who treated Princess Pingyang at the Imperial Medical Office should be put to death... Obviously, Princess Pingyang was on her deathbed.
At this moment, Li Dewu resorted to a trick, and Li Jiancheng suddenly recommended Li Shan... Regardless of whether he can be saved or not, do you expect Li Shan to be grateful?
"As expected..." Li Shan laughed softly.
This laughter was mixed with complicated emotions, and Princess Qin sighed: "There will be justice in the future."
"I hope His Highness will make the decision in the future."
The direction of this sentence was obvious, but Princess Qin changed the subject and said with a smile: "The third cousin came to visit a few days ago and mentioned that Madam Zhu chose a daughter-in-law..."
Li Shan repeatedly raised his hand and said, "Princess, it's really not appropriate to get engaged at this time. Please invite Princess..."
Princess Qin pursed her lips and smiled, "The Xue family in Hedong and the Liu family in Hedong are both famous families. I heard that Li Langjun declined?"
Li Shandeng's head was as big as a bucket... Mother, it's okay to say that Changsun was enthusiastic, but now Princess Qin is even enthusiastic!
Of course, the reasons are different. Mother Zhu and Changsun thought that they were eighteen years old and had not yet engaged, but Princess Qin obviously did this deliberately.
Li Shan simply said directly: "The situation in the court is complex and difficult to describe, and the powerful families often serve their own masters, and some do not want to be controlled by them."
Princess Qin slowed down and thought for a while before saying: "So King Le'an of Northern Qi has a granddaughter. Although she is only ten years old, she is beautiful and dignified."
Li Shan swallowed, okay, now I'm sure... Princess Qin is not really enthusiastic, but she wants to form a marriage.
King Le'an of the Northern Qi Dynasty was Gao Mai, his son was Gao Shilian, his granddaughter was probably Gao Xingcheng's cousin...and Gao Shilian was the niece of Princess Qin.
In other words, if Li Shan nods, he can be regarded as Li Shimin's in-law, shamelessly.
It’s a pity that you really can’t nod your head!
Li Shan let out a long sigh, "Absolutely not."
Hearing such a reply, Princess Qin couldn't help being stunned, her face was uncertain. She had thought that Li Shan might not agree. After all, the Gao family in Bohai was now less famous than the Liu family and Xue family in Hedong, but she never thought that Li Shan would
Such a firm refusal.
"Princess, please forgive me." Li Shan grinned and said, "This matter... is really hard to talk about..."
Princess Qin was startled, then chuckled and said, "Does it mean that Mr. Li Langjun has someone in his heart?"
"Cough cough, cough cough!" Li Shan coughed hard several times, "I'm afraid it's hopeless..."
She really had a goal. Princess Qin was speechless. No wonder the Liu family and the Xue family in Hedong didn't like her... I don't know which girl she fell in love with.
"What Li Langjun means is..."
"When I get married in the future, I will have to invite His Highness. The princess will take the trouble." Li Shan paused and said shamelessly, "I only hate being named Li in this life."
Princess Qin couldn't help but laugh. After all, she was only a woman in her twenties, and her laughter was clear and sweet.
The meaning of this sentence is very obvious. If his surname was not Li, this boy would have shamelessly asked to marry a clan daughter... And Li Shimin's eldest daughter is only six years old this year.
Seeing that they were arriving at the outer courtyard, Princess Qin said softly: "Does Mr. Li Lang know that Princess Pingyang also has six military guards?"
Watching Princess Qin leave, Li Shan's expression turned from sunny to gloomy, and he cursed a few times... Could Li Shimin want to push himself into Princess Pingyang's service?!
After thinking for a while, Li Shan still couldn't figure it out... What exactly did Li Shimin want to do?
Princess Qin's words were confused... The last sentence can be understood as hoping that Li Shan will become Princess Pingyang's confidant, and it can also be understood as Li Shimin's reminder.
"Huairen, the King of Huaiyang is here." Su Dingfang did not know when he appeared.
Li Shan was at a loss for a while before he realized, "Brother Daoxuan is here... huh?"
"Let Mrs. Zhou pack her things... We have been here for more than a month. Princess Pingyang has recovered. It's time for us to go home."
No matter what Li Shimin wanted to do... Li Shan decided not to accompany him. He believed that no matter how good Li Shimin was, he could not compare with himself, a time traveler, in terms of prediction.
Princess Pingyang is about to be surrounded by a big whirlpool...it's better to stay away!
