In this era, eighteen-year-olds are considered real girls. Li Xingchen would not wait until eighteen, but he would never touch a girl under the age of sixteen.
"What is your Majesty thinking?" Yuan Lexhang asked.
It's a good thing that Li Xingchen noticed Yuchizhen.
"I thought of how similar my age was to her when I first met Xiang'er." Li Xingchen couldn't help but sigh, as if he had returned to the ruins of Ji Nancheng seven or eight years ago.
I had to endure it for many years before eating Xiao Xiang.
Now she is the mother of a child of her own.
Yuan Leshang nodded slightly, the experience between Xiao Xiang and Your Majesty is known to all the sisters in the harem. If the experience between Your Majesty and Lechang, from falling off the cliff to the subsequent wedding, is legendary,
Then Xiao Xiang will accompany His Majesty.
From Jiangling at the beginning to Bashu later, Li Xinchen walked almost everywhere she went. There are still a few calluses on her fingers that have not been completely worn away. It is said that they were worn out when she sewed the armor for His Majesty.
These experiences of sharing the joys and sorrows with His Majesty naturally made Xiao Xiang's status somewhat aloof in the harem. However, she had no intention of actively provoking Lechang and seemed to enjoy this peaceful and peaceful life.
Naturally, it will not arouse the resentment of others.
In particular, the families from Bashu, Jingxiang and other places standing behind Xiao Xiang have already focused on commerce and trade, which does not threaten the interests of both the north and the south. They are even a bit like middlemen, which makes it difficult for Yuan Lexhang to take Xiao Xiang away from them.
Xiang was regarded as an enemy, and when Li Xingchen mentioned her, he naturally smiled in agreement.
Li Xingchen stood up, but of course there was nothing on him. Yuchizhen couldn't help it. He almost subconsciously wanted to cover his eyes, and even the things he was holding in his hands almost fell to the ground.
Li Xingchen couldn't help but frown.
Yuan Leshang was a little helpless and stood up to take it from her hand: "I will wipe it for Your Majesty."
Li Xingchen still had things to do, so of course he didn't have time to tease the little girl who was already blushing, so he nodded.
After waiting for Li Xingchen to change clothes and leave to review today's memorial, Yuan Leshang Shi Shiran put on his coat, looked at Yu Chizhen who was staring at his toes and dared not speak, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just get used to it in the future.
Yes, Your Majesty does not blame you."
Yuchi Zhencheng responded fearfully.
Yuan Lexhang sighed softly. He really embarrassed this little girl. He was a few years older than her when he entered the palace, and he had already been mentally prepared. After all, he was also going to enter the palace in the first place.
, it’s just that we entered the palace of the Northern Zhou Dynasty instead of the Han Dynasty. It’s a pity that the conflict between the Yuan family and Yang Jian made the trip impossible. Looking at it now, Yuan Lexhang can only sigh that God has favored him.
Li Xingchen and Yuwen are not rivals on the same level at all.
"Sister, does your Majesty dislike me?"
Yuan Lexhang rubbed her little head: "You are worrying too much. Your Majesty, please don't worry. Your Majesty just has something to do now and can't take care of you for the moment. You can go to serve His Majesty later."
Come on, get in touch with him more, His Majesty has always been approachable and will not embarrass you."
Yuchizhen responded hurriedly.
It is not an accident to vilify the enemy in the past dynasties. Only by shaping the image of the enemy into a big devil who eats people without spitting out their bones can we encourage soldiers and people to fight against the enemy. Although Li Xingchen's image is not as bad as that of him and Yu Wenxian
There was a relatively tacit understanding and they did not try their best to discredit themselves, but even if the court did not take the initiative, the people would naturally interpret it, so Li Xingchen's image in the north was still not very good.
However, Yu Chizhen had been in the south for a long time and didn't know much about these rumors. She didn't have any natural fear of Li Xingchen, and some girls even worshiped heroes. So now that Yuan Leshang said this, she mustered up the courage again.
Confidence, no matter what you say, you have to make His Majesty look at you.
Although I am not as good as Captain Chi Chifan's sister, I can't be an empty person next to His Majesty, and I have no sense of existence.
Li Xingchen did not expect that Chen Xuanhua and Yang Miao had not arrived yet, but Xu Su and Chen Yueyi had arrived first, almost behind Li Xingchen.
They also came lightly dressed, with almost no one else around except the ten female guards trained by Li Lian'er and a few female officers. Of course, the escorting soldiers and horses were all directly dispatched by the navy. After all, they were from Jiankang.
From Fuzhou to Luoyang, along the way, the river turns to the canal, then to the Huai River, and finally along the Ying River to the north. It is basically a waterway.
"I am here to see your majesty." Xu Su and Chen Yueyi saluted solemnly when they saw Li Xinchen.
Li Xingchen nodded slightly: "You came very quickly. Was it a smooth journey?"
Xu Su smiled and said: "Thanks to your Majesty's blessing, the war in the north is coming to an end, and the ships used for north-south transportation no longer have to give way to the ships carrying grain, grass and equipment. In addition, the navy officers who are familiar with the waterways are manning the ships, so the journey will naturally go quickly.
What's more, after Your Majesty went north from the Huai River, I and the Chen family's sister had already set off from Jiankang Mansion. Your Majesty was so wise and powerful that he was unstoppable along the way. Otherwise, Your Majesty might have caught up with them before they even reached Luoyang."
Li Xinchen laughed. After all, Xu Su was a lady of the family, and her words were impeccable. They made it clear that they did not use their status to ask for priority from the local government, and finally they did not forget to compliment Li Xinchen.
Chen Yueyi, who was standing next to her, added: "Of course, either because of His Majesty's blessing or because the Xu family sisters miss His Majesty so much, the journey has been quite smooth."
Li Xingchen noticed something and first put his arms around her, pretending to be fierce: "Why, Su'er is the only one who misses me, don't you miss me at all?"
Chen Yueyi said in panic: "Of course I miss you."
"How much do you miss her?" Li Xingchen looked her up and down, "Why didn't I see it? Why don't you prove it?"
Chen Yueyi's eyes wandered, and she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not good to stay here. How about we wait for the evening?"
Li Xingchen's index finger suddenly moved, this little goblin.
"Your Majesty, the two sisters have worked so hard for coming so far. Let them have something to eat and rest first." Yuan Lexhang also came over with his maid at this time, "I have already ordered the imperial chef to prepare food."
Several people bowed to each other. Chen Yueyi and Yuan Lexhang were close friends. At this time, they gathered together to whisper. Li Xingchen looked at Xu Su:
"Why did Le'er let you two come over?"
Xu Su pretended to be angry: "Don't you think I and the Chen family's sister are displeased with His Majesty, so they can't come over?"
Li Xingchen realized that he had made a mistake, shook his head and said, "Didn't you say before that you would let Xiang'er or Sister Shen come over?"
Although Shen Wuhua is actually a little younger than Li Xingchen, because she is the oldest in the harem and she is Lechang's "sister-in-law", Lechang usually calls her sister.
