Given His Majesty's love for Princess Lechang, he will definitely consult in advance when selecting his consort, or even simply adopt Princess Lechang's opinion.
It's just a pity that it seems that Princess Lechang is not very interested in her quite talented grandson...
Looking sideways at the silhouette of Princess Lechang leaving, Xu Ling frowned slightly. This princess was very different from the Princess Ningyuan in front of her. She was not an easy master to deal with.
In fact, even Xu Ling, who is as shrewd as a fox, does not know that Princess Lechang does not really have no affection for Xu Deyan. In fact, Princess Lechang has no trace of Xu Deyan in her heart at all. Even Li Xingchen only let her
She just remembered it occasionally in her spare time.
Rather than saying that she wanted to visit the rich collection of books in the Xu family, it was better to say that she wanted to find a quiet place to calm down. After all, what happened in the past few days, even Princess Lechang compared to other royal princesses,
Even though the prince is much more mature and rational, it is still a little hard to accept.
The eldest brother and the second brother have been in an undercurrent of conflict for many years. In the past few days, it finally broke out with the opportunity of Wu Mingche and Xiao Mohe returning to Beijing. Chen Shuling intercepted Xiao Mohe and Wu Mingche at all costs outside Guazhou Ferry, and even more
This clearly demonstrated his desire for the throne.
However, his father, who always loved his children, did not seem to really intend to send his second brother, who was even a little too arrogant, into a place of eternal damnation. The anger in the imperial study room and the superficial punishment of his second brother showed that Chen Xu himself was in the end.
Still haven't gotten over this contradiction.
I'm afraid it was precisely because he saw His Majesty's tangled thoughts that Xu Ling never expressed any more opinions on this issue after he made it clear once. Even if he really wanted to say something, he would rather convey it through Princess Lechang.
He didn't tell Chen Xu personally. This shows that this old fox has figured out Chen Xu's thoughts, and he will definitely not get involved in seeking trouble before Chen Xu makes his final judgment.
Princess Lechang waved her hand slightly and asked the servant of the Xu family to close the study door. The servant wanted to say something, but he could only bow and exit. Her Highness the Princess' face was obviously not very good. As a servant, it is most important at this time.
It's better to remain silent.
A rich and thick aroma of books and ink hit her face, and Princess Lechang took a deep breath. Only when she stood in front of the layers of books could she really relax. She looked at the various books on the bookshelf.
, Lechang did not reach out to take it, but walked forward slowly. Her steps were gentle, and her slender fingers lightly swept over the books, as if she wanted to count all the familiar or unfamiliar names on the cover of each book.
record.
At the end of the bookshelf, a ray of sunlight suddenly appeared in front of him. I have to say that Xu Ling is a very particular person. Even the strongest sunlight at noon will not shine on the bookshelf, but it can just shine on the desk on one side of the bookshelf. In this way
It can not only ensure that the books will not be damaged due to exposure, but also provide sufficient lighting when reading.
At this time, Princess Lechang also saw the figure sitting with his back to her.
The layout of the study room is accessible from both sides, and the desk is in the middle of the study. Four or five rows of bookshelves extend from both sides of the desk to the door. One door on both sides leads to the side compartment, and the other door
Adjoining the main hall, the study occupies an area as large as the imperial study in the palace, and the collection of books is so large that even the imperial study is slightly inferior.
After all, Xu Ling's title as the greatest literary figure in the Southern Dynasties is not groundless.
Princess Lechang came from the side compartment, in other words, from the back door, so naturally she saw her back.
Although it was a back view, she was still familiar with this back view. After all, just a few days ago, she had stood under the tree on the top of the stone mountain and watched the young man stride towards the crowd, and finally made a splash.
I didn't expect that he would be in Xu's study room. What a coincidence.
Li Xingchen was writing something seriously and didn't even notice the footsteps behind him. Princess Lechang subconsciously held her breath and slowed down and walked over. His outstanding poetry made Princess Lechang fully aware of what Li Xingchen was writing. The expectation and curiosity drove her forward, but she was afraid of interrupting Li Xingchen.
Although Li Xingchen's calligraphy is better than the scrawled tadpole calligraphy, it can still be read, and the Liu style and Zhao Mengfu Zhao style that he copied at the beginning have more calligraphy fonts than the calligraphy fonts of this era. It is about bringing out the old and bringing out the new, so this word is not very good, but it still gives people a refreshing feeling.
What's more important is that the article Li Xingchen is writing is eye-catching enough.
"Flowers of land and water are very lovely. Tao Yuanming of the Jin Dynasty only loved chrysanthemums. Since the Liu and Song Dynasties, the world has loved peonies. I only love the lotus. "
Watching Li Xingchen finish writing the last word intently, Princess Lechang almost blurted out: "Who is the one who agrees with me? Whoever reads Tao Yuanliang's collected works and can write such an article, I am afraid that the whole world is really 'who is the one who agrees with me'!" "
"Yeah!" Li Xingchen was startled. He didn't expect that such a clear female voice would suddenly come to mind around him. The pen in his hand almost fell off, and ink dots flew and scattered on the sleeves of Li Xingchen and Princess Lechang.
"It's you?!" Li Xingchen already knew who it was just by hearing this voice. He saw and interacted with not many women in this era, not to mention his own sister, and the others were just the hospitable Mrs. Xiao and the maids of the Xiao family. There were several people, not to mention the sound was as clear and clear as the sound on the rocks in a clear stream. Li Xingchen would never forget it.

Xiao family residence.
He scooped up the water in the water tank with a ladle and drank it cleanly in one gulp. Xiao Shilian exclaimed "refreshing" and stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth with his sleeve.
"This is the water my mother used to water the flowers. You won't have diarrhea if you drink it like this!" Mrs. Xiao's voice of reproach was like thunder exploding in Xiao Shilian's ears.
At that moment, he was shocked and Xiao Shilian smiled: "Mother..."
Mrs. Xiao immediately said angrily: "You kid, why are you so careless! Axiu, go and get the young master some hot water and some soup to nourish your stomach. Don't really hurt me anywhere!"
The maid should have retreated afterwards. Xiao Shilian threw the water ladle back into the water tank indifferently: "Mother, how can the child be so delicate? On the battlefield with my father, I am thankful to be able to eat some hard food from the mountain spring. The water is really cool when it reaches your stomach!"
"If things at home are the same as on the battlefield, that's fine!" Mrs. Xiao snorted.
Xiao Shilian turned his head reluctantly, preparing to wait for his mother's nagging, but he immediately saw Li Lian'er reaching out to hold Mrs. Xiao's arm, and her face instantly turned red.
