When it comes to matters between men and women, Li Xingzai handles things better than Cheng Dalei. Although the women around Cheng Dalei are not jealous, Cheng Dalei is not happy to get along with them. Li Xingzai has the talent to make women give up, even if they let them go for Li Xingzai
Even if they were afraid of death, they wouldn't hesitate at all.
Because I didn’t care, I took it easy naturally.
Li Xingzai knew some things very clearly, and he was able to title the two concubines because he was not afraid of others gossiping about these matters. However, the position of the queen was crucial and was an important bargaining chip for Li Xingzai to win over political power.
It's just that Li Xingzai hasn't found anyone worthy of exchanging chips for him yet.
Wang Sunlishan also understood this. She did not fight or grab, and was willing to be a candle beside Li Xingzai, lighting up others and burning herself.
In the flower hall, Li Waner met Wang Sunlishan. They greeted each other and had tea.
Wang Sunlishan did not dare to put on airs in front of Li Waner. She knew her identity. A noble concubine may not always be a noble concubine, but a princess will always be a princess.
However, Li Waner did not underestimate Wang Sunlishan. Her sweetheart was a bandit, so who did she have the right to look down on.
The two parties chatted about the weather, jewelry, and then the latest fashionable embroidery patterns, and finally got down to business.
"Imperial sister, I am here on the orders of your imperial brother. He wants to propose a marriage to you, but he just doesn't know what you want?"
Li Waner sighed softly: "What is supposed to come will always come."
She muttered softly, but Wang Sunlishan didn't really hear it and looked at Li Waner in confusion.
Li Waner regained her composure and said, "Sister-in-law Lao told the emperor that the eldest brother is his father, and whatever he says will be whatever he says, and everything will be decided by him."
It's so simple!
Wangsun Lishan was stunned. She was still thinking about how to persuade Li Waner. However, she didn't expect that Li Waner agreed so happily without even asking who the other party was. She felt like she had tried her best, but her strength was hit by cotton.
I was about to say something else, but I saw that Li Waner had already stood up and said a blessing:
"Sister, I'm a little tired. I want to take a rest. I'm going to order the Queen's Wife to be kicked out. Please don't blame her."
Knowing that the other party has already made up his mind, whatever he says will be ignored. At the same time, Wang Sunlishan understands that the other party respects him because he is a well-educated person, but if the other party does not give him face, he really has nothing to do.
She also stood up to say goodbye, and wanted to report to Li Xingzai about the meeting here.
When Wang Sunlishan left, Li Waner was still sitting in the same place, with uncontrollable exhaustion in the corners of her brows and eyes.
This kind of thing has happened more than once. Emperor Ming once wanted her to marry the Rong tribe as a tool for marriage. But someone came out and stopped the matter. I thought that the sixth brother was different, but it turned out to be nothing.
It’s different, I’m still doing the same thing as before.
Just this time, will that person appear again?
Li Waner chose a gold hairpin from the jewelry box and put it on her head. The face of the person in the mirror had traces of time, but it was still bright and beautiful.
There may still be a chance to see him.
…
After what happened here, Li Xingzai felt a little upset in his heart. He and Li Waner had gone through a lot, and their relationship had been okay in the past, but now, he could no longer see through his sister.
There is no apology in my heart, but under the current situation, there is nothing that can be done. Having decided to take this step, Li Xingzai will go all the way to the dark side.
Li Xingzai was discussing the next arrangements with Qi Jiguang, and he had already made a preliminary plan. The candidate he selected for Li Waner this time was the son of King Jiaozhou.
Jiaozhou was located in the southern border of the empire, and it was also a place far away from the emperor. Li Xingzai had to take this king with a different surname seriously. If the other party really separated and established itself, Li Xingzai would have no choice.
Fortunately, the King of Jiaozhou gave himself face and sent someone over during the meeting of princes.
Li Xingzai had also seen that young master, and he was considered to be a handsome man. He would be hereditary to the throne in the future. If Li Waner married him, he would be the mistress of the land, which would not be an insult to her.
Of course, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. In addition to winning over the King of Jiaozhou, it also has another purpose.
"Do you think he will take the bait?" Li Xingzai asked, tilting his head.
Qi Jiguang went through the plan again in his mind and said: "It's a thousand miles from here to Jiaozhou. If the other party wants to strike, I just don't know where they will strike?"
Li Xingzai thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, it won't be too far from Chang'an. He is not too patient with certain things."
Qi Jiguang drew a line on the paper and said: "Three hundred miles away from Chang'an, I will deploy elite soldiers. There are hidden experts in the escort team. As long as he dares to show up, he will not be allowed to escape."
Li Xingzai looked at Qi Jiguang. Qi Jiguang was a little confused and didn't know what he said wrong.
"You..." Li Xingzai paused and said, "Are you really sure?"
"..."
Qi Jiguang was really speechless. He was the one who instigated and was mainly responsible for Cheng Dalei's actions, but the result was that he ran into obstacles at every turn and pushed the matter to a point of incompetence.
Li Xingzai shook his head helplessly: "The target he is dealing with now is me, not you. Do you know how much I envy you?"
Qi Jiguang touched his neck, and a chill suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart. If it was really him who Cheng Dalei was going to deal with, there was no telling how long he would survive.
Qi Jiguang was loyal to Li Xingzai and determined to be Li Xingzai's lonely and rebellious son. However, it was not a happy thing to think that the head around his neck was placed with him by others and could leave him at any time.
Li Xingzai looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Now you can probably understand what kind of life I have been living recently, right?"
I don't know how uneasy both parties feel, but they still have to do what they decided. The reason why we made this plan is just to gain peace of mind.
After the New Year, Li Xingzai began to take care of this matter. He tried his best to promote this matter and make everything quick and simple.
Before the first lunar month, the wedding team from Jiaozhou has entered Chang'an. There are 300 people in total. They will escort Li Waner to Jiaozhou.
Li Xingzai also sent some people, and the two parties gathered 500 people as a send-off party. They chose an auspicious day to leave Chang'an and headed all the way to Jiaozhou.
As winter turned to spring, the weather was coldest and coldest. This group of people traveled non-stop to Jiaozhou, and the cities along the way naturally offered hospitality to them.
It's just that Li Waner's mood was far from happy along the way. Why didn't she understand her situation? Qi Jiguang once used Li Xingzai as bait to get Cheng Dalei to take the bait.
Of course, Li Xingzai would not risk being a bait, and what Li Waner is doing now is to replace Li Xingzai and become the bait to lure Cheng Dalei to the bait.
