If we say that before, Lechang would definitely not be interested in this, but now she can no longer tolerate her and ignore everything. The contradiction between Chen Shubao and Chen Shuling has become more and more obvious, and the officials in the court have begun to take sides, even in the future
If you don't get any benefits, you have to seek self-protection.
And Princess Lechang knew very well that after the officials in the court had a clear line up, it would probably be the royal family's turn, especially the princes who had been crowned kings and were serving as officials outside, as well as several of the most favored princesses around Chen Xu.
, such as Lechang, and Ningyuan.
In other words, the royal line-up has actually already begun. After all, these princes do not want to be suspected and suppressed because they did not support the new king after he succeeded to the throne. You must know the suspicion within the royal family, but what will happen?
of human life.
Even the princes in the capital are starting to make moves, such as Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng, not to mention those outside.
Lechang actually didn't have too many opinions about whom to support. She just wanted her father to be less angry. He was not yet fifty years old, but his hair was already gray, he couldn't sleep well every day, and he was always angry.
Getting angry is not the behavior that a monarch in his forties and in his prime should behave at all.
Therefore, just for the sake of her father, Lechang had to pay attention to the increasingly fierce battle for the crown prince. And now she also realized that Li Xingchen's appearance in Xu Ling's study must not be that simple. This shows that Chen Shubao's attention has shifted to Xu Ling.
.
"Did Mr. Li come to study at Mr. Xiaomu's place?" Lechang asked tentatively, looking at Li Xinchen who was flipping through the "Collected Works of Tao Yuanming" carelessly.
"Did the girl come to Duke Xiaomu to study?" Li Xingchen slowly put down the book - the person opposite was a smart man, and it was of no use holding the book as a cover-up, so it was better to be honest. Throw this question out,
It will not completely fall under the control of Lechang's logic, but at the same time, it can also test Lechang's intention.
Princess Lechang frowned slightly. She had never really seen much of the world. Most of her knowledge was actually theoretical knowledge from books. Of course, she did not have the ability to lie with a straight face.
When I heard Li Xingchen's words, I immediately hesitated.
Before, Lechang would have said yes with a clear conscience, but now that she came to Xu Ling, wasn't she helping her father to test Xu Ling's tone?
After all, what Xu Ling said last time was too ambiguous. Even Chen Xu was still a little hesitant. After Chen Xu made the decision to fine the Yangzhou governor for one year, Xu Ling even complained of illness for two days.
Chen Xu certainly didn't believe this, but he also understood that this was Xu Ling's disguised expression of dissatisfaction with His Majesty's handling of the matter.
Therefore, taking advantage of the agreement between Princess Ningyuan and Xu Ling, Chen Xu told Lechang to be sure to explore Xu Ling's attitude.
Seeing that Lechang didn't answer for a while, Li Xingchen's heart beat for no reason. Could it be that she really had other intentions? What did she need? Like Li Xingchen, what she needed was Xu Ling's clear attitude?
But who is she doing for, Chen Shuling?
Li Xingchen immediately cheered up, and his eyes became a bit colder. Lechang did not seem to notice the change in Li Xingchen: "Actually, not really. I have heard for a long time that the Xu family has a rich collection of books. It just so happened that my sister-in-law wanted to come to the Xu family today, so she
I came with her, and since I’m here, I should take a look around, but I didn’t expect to meet Mr. Li.”
Having said this, Lechang lowered his head slightly in shame: "Speaking of which, it's not really that I came here to study, but it made Mr. Li laugh."
After taking a breath, Li Xingchen's hostility towards her dissipated somewhat. No matter what, this was a reason that people subconsciously wanted to accept.
Princess Lechang raised her head again, looked at Li Xingchen, and a smile appeared on her lips: "Is Mr. Li here to study?"
This smile was like the spring sunshine in March, shining in Li Xingchen's heart, making all the last bit of hostility disappear. No matter where this girl came from, even if it was a beauty trap sent by Chen Shuling, Li Xingchen could not continue to treat her coldly.
.
After scratching his head, Li Xingchen could only laugh twice: "Yes, Ming Gong invited me to the poetry meeting that day. After I came, I saw that there were many books here, and my article was not well written, so I took the opportunity to ask Ming Gong.
The method of improvement, didn’t this girl just come in after reading a few articles?”
Princess Lechang's pretty face sank slightly. She could clearly read Mr. Li's article. If such an article is not a good article, then what is a good article? If you really want to read this article after "The Story of Ai Lian"
The only nitpicks I'm afraid are the varying lengths of sentences and some colloquial expressions, but these are almost negligible compared with the advantages of the entire article.
If such an article is not considered good, then there are probably not many articles in the world that can be called good. Is this Li Xingchen really modest, or is he just trying to hide something?
"Mr. Xiaomu is already old. In recent years, there are few people who can teach poems and articles, or even give guidance to the younger generations." Princess Lechang's voice became colder. "I didn't expect that I would favor Mr. Li so much."
"The girl may not know that Li, a villager in the mountains, had many poems and articles taught by his father in the mountains and forests. When his father saw streams and birds singing, he would make his son recite them, and he would make many corrections and pointers before he could become what he is today.
Most of his knowledge was passed down orally from his late father. Although he knows a lot of poems and articles, few know the whole text." Li Xingchen said in a low voice, his face a little gloomy.
After a pause, Li Xingchen didn't wait for Princess Lechang's surprise to speak, and pointed at the book on the table: "Such as this poem by Tao Yuanliang, someone knows 'Pick chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see the Nanshan Mountain', but does not know the whole poem
Is it possible to know that "The fields will be full of wild beards and will not return", but I don't know that it comes from "Returning to the Return"? All that I have learned and known is a plate of loose sand."
"So I came here to ask for advice from Ming Gong, mainly because Ming Gong has a lot of books here. It may be difficult for the girl to understand that I can connect my dots into lines and then into faces..."
Princess Lechang suddenly stood up and looked straight at Li Xinchen with a pair of black and white eyes, and Li Xinchen also looked at her solemnly, with only sincerity in her eyes.
Suddenly realizing that she was looking at an unmarried man, Princess Lechang's cheeks suddenly glowed, and she hurriedly waved her hands: "Yes...I'm sorry, I shouldn't..."
That roommate is out alone, so I don’t feel at ease. Mr. Li, please study, and don’t bother me anymore.”
Seeing Lechang turn around and run away, Li Xingchen suddenly realized something: "Hey!"
"Um?"
"You went the wrong way, the girl came in from this way." Li Xingchen pointed.
Seeing the white figure quickly disappearing among the bookshelves, Li Xingchen smiled bitterly and shook his head. The air seemed to be filled with the elegant fragrance she brought.
A beautiful woman is like a lotus, you can look at it from a distance but don't play with it.
