Li Xinchen walked slowly through the cloister and walked towards the meeting hall. The main thing he did in the East Palace these days was "waiting", and Li Xinchen also took this opportunity to browse through as many books in the East Palace as possible.
Although the Xu Ling family's collection of books is much larger than that of the East Palace, Li Xingchen is not in the mood to compete with that old fox right now, so he might as well stay in the study room of the East Palace. Chen Shubao is not interested in the study room at all anyway, and Li Xingchen is here
I stayed in the study for two or three days and didn't even meet Chen Shubao.
Fu Yi, on the other hand, often went in and out of the study, looking at the books he had painstakingly collected. At the same time, he was very knowledgeable and could answer Li Xinchen's questions. However, as an out-and-out Buddhist believer, Fu Yi kept talking.
He would unknowingly talk about "Amitabha", and Li Xingchen, who was actually not very interested in Buddhism, almost fell asleep every time he listened.
Of course, Li Xingchen did not deny that in addition to Buddhism, Fu Yi could also be called a great master in other aspects. After all, the ministers of the East Palace carefully selected by Chen Xu for Chen Shubao could not be cheating.
It's just that Chen Shubao doesn't seem to like using the resources around him very much.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from ahead, which made Li Xingchen startled. In the East Palace, where Chen Shubao did not even appear often, there were few people walking, not to mention that the only few people in the East Palace should be in the meeting hall now.
.
Several entourages dressed as servants walked in the front, and the man protected by them in the middle was wearing a cloak and looked a bit mysterious.
Seemingly noticing someone watching next to her, the figure paused for a moment, then turned sideways. Princess Lechang reached out to lift up her cloak, and when she saw Li Xingchen standing there, she smiled slightly: "Mr. Li."
"Your Highness... Your Highness!" Li Xingchen was also startled. He did not expect to bump into Lechang again in this place. At the moment, he had no time to think carefully about why Lechang came, so Li Xingchen saluted in a panic.
Princess Lechang didn't seem to like this title very much. She frowned slightly, but then she relaxed it without leaving a trace: "Why are Mr. Li here?"
The plainclothes guards around her had already dispersed in all directions with tacit understanding, but their eyes were still fixed on Li Xinchen. As long as Li Xinchen made any move to threaten the safety of the princess, they would pounce on her without hesitation.
.
Of course, Li Xingchen had the lust (harmony) but not the lust (harmony) courage. Faced with Lechang's question, he almost subconsciously said: "Why is your highness here?"
As soon as he said these words, Li Xingchen was stunned. The person in front of him was no longer the girl he had met by chance, but his Highness. It was a bit abrupt for him to say this.
Hearing this familiar question, Lechang did not get angry. Her thoughts involuntarily drifted to the study room in Xu Ling Mansion that day. She immediately lowered her head slightly to hide the heat on her cheeks: "Father has a destiny, and there are a few oral instructions.
You need to inform Dong Palace.”
Unexpectedly, Princess Lechang actually answered. Li Xingchen scratched his head in embarrassment, and then remembered something: "His Royal Highness is not here at the moment. He should have gone sightseeing outside the city with Mr. Jiang, Kong Fan and others."
"Not here?" Princess Lechang suddenly looked over in surprise. It was daytime and it was after the court meeting. As the prince, Chen Shubao did not stay in the East Palace to deal with affairs, but actually went out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. This was really unexpected.
Chang's expectation.
Li Xingchen spread his hands, and Chen Shubao wanted to go out to "find poetry." This was not something that Fu Wei, Shen Jungao and others could stop. Even Zhou Que, who was the prince's bastard, could only turn a blind eye to this. One eye.
Fortunately, the prince's bodyguards, who were personally trained by right-guard general Mao Xi, were highly skilled in martial arts. This was in Jiankang Mansion, so there was no need to worry about safety issues, so Shen Jungao and the others had no choice but to let Chen Shubao go.
At least Chen Shubao can stay in the East Palace for a few days after going out for a walk.
"There is something going on in Mr. Zhou's residence. He may not be able to come back until tomorrow morning. However, Mr. Shen and Mr. Fu are both here. If His Highness is in a hurry, I will ask these two adults to come and greet you." Li Xingchen said hurriedly. In fact, he is now in the East Palace. All affairs were decided by Zhou Que, Shen Jungao and Fu Yi. There really is no difference whether there is the symbol of Chen Shubao or not.
Princess Lechang was silent for a while. The situation in the East Palace was more complicated than her father imagined, or even more corrupt. It can be said that Shen Jungao and the others are now able to support the situation and even fight back. It's really incredible. Easy, after all, compared to Chen Shuling, the governor of Yangzhou, who was both civil and military, Chen Shubao, the prince of the East Palace, seemed a bit unsatisfactory.
But now that he's here, Lechang doesn't think he's here in vain: "There's no need to make any announcements, and please ask Mr. Li to lead the way. Let's go there."
"This..." Although Li Xingchen wanted to say that this was not in harmony with etiquette, but after looking at Lechang's attire, it was obvious that he did not want to make any noise, so he could only nod his head.
"Master Li's song "Red Cliff" is really thought-provoking." Princess Lechang said calmly as she walked forward.
Li Xinchen was startled for a moment. The song "Red Cliff" he actually remembered at that time was just seeing the three words "Cao Mengde". Anyway, Shen Jungao asked him to write a poem, so Li Xinchen simply copied the poem.
"The east wind does not agree with Zhou Lang..." Princess Lechang did not seem to care about Li Xinchen's somewhat embarrassed expression, savoring this poem carefully, "In this world, things are unpredictable, and sometimes I can only sigh with gratitude from the sky for help."
Things in the world are unpredictable... Li Xingchen couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. It had been a while since he came to this era. How could he have predicted it from the Luliang Mountains in Huaibei to the East Palace of Jiankang Prefecture today?
"The world is impermanent, and you can't help yourself in troubled times. When Zhou Lang set fire to Chibi, 800,000 people were burned..." Li Xingchen murmured. Having experienced life and death again and again, not only did he not He takes life and death lightly, but instead values life more and more preciously. "How many more times will the fire of Chibi be needed to end this troubled world?"
Unexpectedly, instead of flattering Li Yichen, she actually said something like this. Princess Lechang paused slightly. As a royal daughter who grew up in a deep palace, she actually couldn't quite understand what Li Yichen's words contained. , but she could clearly feel the strong prayer between the lines.
A prayer for an end to this troubled world.
I don’t know what kind of ambition the Mr. Li in front of me has in his chest?
At this time, Shen Jungao and Fu Yi also received the news and hurriedly came to greet him: "I see His Highness, but I am a bit far away from you. Please forgive me for your sins."
"Mr. Shen, please wake me up, Mr. Fu. I am here at the request of my father. Something happened suddenly and I have disturbed you two." Princess Lechang didn't bother to talk to Li Xingchen anymore and said while returning the courtesy.
