Even though Yang Shufei's words hurt Li Chengqian, she pushed herself out and asked herself to take sides.
If he agrees to Concubine Yang Shu, it will show that Li Chengqian's man is boring when he sings. It will also damage Li Chengqian's face and covertly choose between Li Ke and Li Chengqian.
You didn’t have to give Li Chengqian face just now, that’s because you stood up for yourself just now, and Li Chengqian couldn’t do anything to him even if he was angry.
But it doesn't work now. If you stand in line, you will completely offend the prince.
The key is that Li Ke is not a good choice.
So Fang Yuan pretended not to hear anything and continued drinking and eating as usual.
Everyone looked at it with weird faces, and Li Chengqian also looked at Fang Yuan weirdly.
"Fang Yuan, my mother-in-law is talking to you!"
Li Ke frowned and said in a deep voice.
He felt that Fang Yuan heard it and just pretended not to hear it.
"Ah?"
"I'm sorry, what did you say?"
Fang Yuan put down his chopsticks and asked in surprise.
"You!"
Li Ke frowned deeper.
She wanted to blame Fang Yuan, but Yang Shufei reached out to stop her.
"I want to invite you to be a guest at Xianling Palace."
Yang Shufei’s smile did not diminish.
How could she not see that Fang Yuan did not hear on purpose?
But it doesn't matter, she can continue to ask and let Fang Yuan take sides.
"Concubine Yang Shu, when you invite Gu's guests, you don't even ask for Gu's opinion?"
Li Chengqian interrupted, interrupting Yang Shufei's continued invitation, and laughed.
Fang Yuan's rejection made him quite satisfied, and the dissatisfaction with Fang Yuan just now faded a lot.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan did not agree to Yang Shufei's invitation, otherwise he would have felt so embarrassed.
"Oh, His Royal Highness's banquet is not over yet?"
"Sorry, sorry, I thought His Highness the Crown Prince's banquet was over."
Concubine Yang Shu said in surprise.
"Just know it now."
"Everyone brings out their special skills and lets Concubine Shu watch the singing and dancing in Taichang Temple."
Li Chengqian smiled and said.
Look at Chengxin and others in the center of the banquet.
Even though I am a man, I dress better than a woman.
More importantly, his singing and dancing are unique, giving you a special enjoyment.
Li Chengqian, who is used to singing and dancing in the palace, feels that this kind of enjoyment is really different.
"Yes."
A gratifying compliment should be given.
But before it started, Li Ke stepped forward.
"Brother, you and I haven't gotten together for a long time. It's too boring to watch singing and dancing. Why don't you and I make gestures?"
Li Ke said politely.
But he looked straight at Li Chengqian and issued a challenge.
"That's exactly what I meant!"
"Let's fight right away."
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and smiled confidently.
He has competed with Li Ke so many times, but he has never lost.
As the prince, he is not only the eldest son, but his abilities are also above those of other princes.
Li Chengqian has absolute confidence in this.
"Please."
Li Ke also smiled confidently.
Li Chengqian stood up and waved his hand, causing the music boys of Taichang Temple to retreat.
Not long after, a eunuch came with two war horses and two wooden swords and handed them to Li Chengqian and Li Ke.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Third Prince, Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."
Ashina Sheer and others stood up, bowed to Li Chengqian and others and left.
The fight between princes is not for the courtiers to watch, so it is very necessary to leave.
Fang Yuan also understood this, and followed Ashina Sheer and others to salute and prepare to leave.
Li Chengqian nodded, indicating that everyone could leave.
But,
"You guys go back, Fang Yuan stays."
"Fang Yuan, I also want to invite you to the Xianling Palace."
Yang Shufei smiled and said.
"This... is good."
The corner of Fang Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, he could only respond.
Ashina Sheer and other Eastern Turks looked at Fang Yuan with gloomy eyes, and finally left.
Li Chengqian and Li Ke ignored Fang Yuan and immediately rode away after getting on their horses.
Although both of them wanted to recruit Fang Yuan, they did not take Fang Yuan seriously and did not take him seriously.
They only favored Fang Yuan because of his special position in the Chang'an Order, so they somewhat lacked love for his talents in their treatment of Fang Yuan.
At the invitation of Concubine Yang Shu, Fang Yuan followed her to the royal martial arts training ground.
The first time he went to the royal martial arts training ground, Fang Yuan looked shocked.
There is an open space in front of you, at least as big as three football fields.
It is unimaginable that there can be such a large open space in the palace.
"Drive!"
In the martial arts training ground.
There are two horses galloping.
The prince Li Chengqian and the third prince Li Ke are fighting fiercely.
Both of them are very powerful and have the momentum to move forward.
Even if the sword is made of wood, it still gives people a strong feeling.
Fang Yuan looked at it and immediately felt that there was a big difference between him and the two of them.
Whether it is riding or swordsmanship, Fang Yuan is ashamed of himself.
But in a real fight, it’s hard to predict who will win or lose.
"Fang Yuan, who do you think will win between the Crown Prince and Ke'er?"
Yang Shufei and Fang Yuan stood outside the venue.
The two of them were very close to each other, and there was a eunuch holding a big umbrella to provide shade.
Being so close, Fang Yuan could smell the fragrance coming from her body from time to time.
"My eyes are stupid and I can't see it."
Fang Yuan looked at it and smiled awkwardly.
But in fact, Fang Yuan felt that Li Chengqian was better.
But you can't say this, at least not to Concubine Yang Shu.
"Is he the prince?"
"Keke, there's nothing I dare not say."
Concubine Yang Shu glanced at Fang Yuan, then covered her mouth and smiled.
Fang Yuan was stunned and looked at Concubine Yang Shu in disbelief.
I really didn’t expect that a charming young woman would look like a girl when she smiled.
What's more, I didn't expect that the other party would talk to me as naturally as if I were an old friend for many years.
But soon, Fang Yuan felt a chill in his heart, sighing that Concubine Yang Shu was extraordinary, and the dimensionality reduction attack was very powerful.
As a princess of the former dynasty and one of the four concubines of the current dynasty, her identity is destined not to be simple, and she will be a very proud person.
She talks to herself like this to deliberately close the distance between them.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan corrected his mentality and became more wary of this opponent.
"Fang Yuan, you are a smart man, I won't go around with you anymore."
"I would like to ask you to help my son Ke'er. You can do whatever you want, as long as I can do it."
Concubine Yang Shu seemed to be aware of Fang Yuan's situation, and her smile slowly faded away.
She turned around and looked at Fang Yuan, her expression serious and sincere.
"Your Majesty, the third prince is a very good prince. I even think he is better than the prince."
"But you also know that I am the order of Chang'an and your Majesty's servant. I cannot assist or take refuge with anyone."
Fang Yuan sighed secretly in his heart, thinking about how to reject Concubine Yang Shu.
In the end, Li Shimin could only be moved out, hoping that Yang Shufei could retreat despite the difficulties.
"Your Majesty is your Majesty, and Ke'er is Ke'er."
"You are His Majesty's man, everyone knows it, but this does not prevent you from assisting me, Ke'er."
"As long as you can occasionally use your position to provide some convenience to Ke'er under reasonable and legal circumstances."
Concubine Yang Shu did not give up and said seriously.
Her beautiful eyes stared at Fang Yuan tightly, feeling extremely oppressive.
Compared with just now, this time it seems a little bit more compelling.
"I..."
Fang Yuan cursed in his heart.
But facing the emperor's concubine, he couldn't curse her, and had to find excuses to reject Concubine Yang Shu.
But, what excuse should I make?
The other party has already spoken so clearly.
At this moment, a scream came from the martial arts training ground.
"Ah!"
Screams rang out.
Fang Yuan and others immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw that Li Chengqian was no longer on the horse, but fell to the ground. The scream was made by him.
"Brother Royal!"
Li Ke is a bit far away.
After seeing Li Chengqian fall off his horse, he immediately shouted and rushed back.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Fang Yuan also shouted.
Taking this opportunity, he quickly walked towards Li Chengqian.
As for what Concubine Yang Shu thinks, let her do it.
Li Chengqian was still screaming, and all the palace maids and guards present went to support him.
"Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician, tell the Imperial Physician quickly!"
Li Ke was the first to arrive in front of Li Chengqian.
He shouted loudly and asked the eunuch to call the imperial doctor.
Fang Yuan also arrived soon and noticed Li Chengqian's situation.
Li Chengqian's face was pale and covered with sweat. He covered his right knee with both hands and screamed repeatedly.
"Prince, how are you?"
Concubine Yang Shu also arrived, her expression full of worry.
She knelt down and stretched out her hand to check Li Chengqian's injuries.
"Don't move!"
"Everyone get out of the way!"
Li Chengqian shook off Concubine Yang Shu's hand with a snap, showing no mercy at all.
Yang Shufei's expression was a little stiff, and she squatted on the spot for a while before standing up and retreating.
Li Ke's eyes immediately turned gloomy, but at this time he didn't say a word and backed away.
Fang Yuan looked at Li Chengqian's injuries and felt that he was seriously injured, probably dislocated or fractured.
Injury to the knee... small problems can become serious.
Suddenly, Fang Yuan's expression became strange.
He remembered that in history, Li Chengqian was ultimately unable to take the throne due to leg problems.
Isn't it caused by this fall from the horse?
Have you witnessed a moment in history?
Not long after, several imperial doctors arrived.
Also arriving with them were Li Shimin, Queen Changsun, Du Miaoyan and Princess Changle.
"Brilliant!"
Empress Changsun rushed towards Li Chengqian with red eyes.
But she finally held back and stood aside and ordered the imperial doctor to check quickly.
"What's going on?"
Li Shimin's eyes were gloomy, he scanned the audience and shouted.
"Back to my father, I am about to have a martial arts competition with my son, the prince, and my brother."
"The Crown Prince fell off his horse, and then he became like this."
Li Ke saluted Li Shimin and said respectfully.
"Is this it?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Li Chengqian who was being examined by the imperial physician.
He knew that Li Chengqian and Li Ke often competed, but there had never been such an accident.
Seeing the way Li Chengqian couldn't help screaming, he knew that Li Chengqian was seriously injured.
"I, my horse was frightened for some reason and fell off the horse."
Li Chengqian lay on the ground and endured the pain and said.
His body trembled slightly every time he said a word, and he felt like he was undergoing great torture.
"Take the horse down and investigate it strictly!"
Li Shimin's eyes darkened and he said coldly.
The horses in the palace are specially fed.
Generally, if it reaches the hands of an individual, it has already been tamed.
The horse was frightened and fell down. Li Shimin suspected that someone had tampered with it.
"Father, the horse was provided by the crown prince and brother, and has nothing to do with the sons and ministers."
Li Ke said quickly.
"I didn't say it had anything to do with you."
Li Shimin looked a little ugly and said coldly.
He also knew that the overt and covert fighting between the two brothers was fierce.
But if two people want to kill each other, then don't blame yourself for being ruthless.
It doesn't matter whether it's Li Ke or Li Chengqian, it's the same.
"Father, Emperor Mingjian."
Li Ke stepped aside.
When he lowered his head, his eyes were a little gloomy.
"Sister, the prince's auspicious person has a celestial sign, and everything will be fine."
Concubine Yang Shu stood up at this time, walked to Empress Changsun and comforted her.
"Yeah."
Empress Changsun just hummed, her eyes never leaving Li Chengqian.
At this time, Du Miaoyan had come to Fang Yuan and made eye contact with Fang Yuan.
"Fang Yuan, tell me why the two of them are dueling here today?"
Li Shimin had long noticed that Fang Yuan was here.
So I didn’t ask Li Chengqian, nor Li Ke, nor Yang Shufei.
As a third party, Fang Yuan should not take sides.
"Here's the thing..."
Fang Yuan slowly spoke.
Tell me roughly what happened.
As for Concubine Yang Shu shooting arrows in the East Palace, Fang Yuan did not say anything.
After listening, Li Shimin nodded slowly and looked a little better.
As long as the two brothers don't kill each other, it's easy to talk about.
"Your Majesty, Queen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is seriously injured. I think some anesthetic will be needed."
"It can be cured, but, but..."
After the imperial doctor finished the examination, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said squeakingly.
"But what?"
Li Shimin's eyes darkened and he said coldly.
Empress Changsun's expression also changed, and she looked at the imperial doctor nervously.
Li Chengqian, who was lying on the ground, also became worried and forgot to scream for a moment.
"But His Highness the Crown Prince's legs may have sequelae."
The imperial doctor's forehead secreted sweat again, and he said sarcastically.
"What are the sequelae?"
"I'll let you finish your sentence!"
Li Shimin's eyes became more gloomy and he said coldly.
Squeaking and half-talking, are you looking for death?
Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes and sighed inwardly: Are you really asking me to witness history?
"You may walk with a limp after recovery."
"Your Majesty, it's just possible, just possible."
The imperial doctor continued to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Heal with all your strength!"
"I'm asking you for the sequelae left behind!"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
Fortunately, it’s not like I can’t walk.
Queen Changsun also breathed a sigh of relief.
Concubine Yang Shu and her son felt a little regretful.
"Yes, yes, yes."
The imperial doctors responded one after another and transferred Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun quickly followed.
"Fang Yuan, I won't invite you to Xianling Palace. Let's meet again next time."
Concubine Yang Shu smiled slightly and left with Li Ke.
Soon, Fang Yuan, Du Miaoyan and Princess Changle were the only ones left in the huge martial arts training ground.
"Husband, is it really what you just said?"
Du Miaoyan asked.
Seeing no one, she wanted to know the truth.
"Almost..."
Fang Yuan chuckled and told what he was hiding.
"The prince wants to recruit you, and the third prince also wants to recruit you."
"But the two of them don't seem to take you seriously. On the contrary, Yang Shufei is attentive."
"The prince was injured today, it's probably not that simple, right?"
Du Miaoyan said dissatisfied.
A prince can recruit his own husband.
But being too insincere makes people annoying.
But they are all members of the royal family, so they can only endure it.
"Isn't it that simple?"
Changle Princess Loli blinked, stared at Du Miaoyan and said.
"I don't know, it's just a feeling."
Du Miaoyan rubbed Princess Changle's head, shook her head and said.
"Miaoyan, be careful of teaching bad people."
"Let's go, let's go back after we take Chang Le back to the palace."
Fang Yuan doesn't know how Du Miaoyan and Princess Changle's relationship is.
But it is better not to say this kind of speculation to the royal family members.
What if Princess Changle didn't tell anyone, and she would be in trouble.
"Uncle Fang, what do you think?"
Princess Changle did not move, but stared at Fang Yuan and asked.
"What I think doesn't matter."
Fang Yuan did not answer and walked out of the martial arts training ground on his own.
Today should be the moment to witness history. Li Chengqian may gradually move away from the throne after today.
It's a pity that Li Chengqian is still very skillful now.
