Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Chapter 152 deep meaning

Li Qiqian only felt bored and unspeakably irritable.

His marriage has not been going well, his father didn't say anything, but he has always been very concerned about it in his heart. In private, he might have investigated all the homes of girls of suitable age and inappropriate age in the whole capital city who are suitable to be his wife.It's just that, thinking of worshiping heaven and earth with a strange girl in the future and kowtowing to get married, he couldn't express his awkwardness.

When Xiang Yuan arrived at the Eastern Palace, the servant outside saw him, his eyes lit up, he trotted over, bent over and smiled and said: "It just so happens that Lord Xiang is here, and the prince is bored at the moment, and has been practicing bow and arrow for an hour in the back. Oh, how did this happen?"

Xiang Yuan frowned, walked around the front hall, and sure enough, he saw the prince holding his breath and bowing and drawing arrows in the school yard behind.From the corner of Li Qiqian's eyes, he saw Xiang Yuan coming in, and with a sound of "咻", the sharp arrow shot out of his hand, and it hit the center of the target.

"Good archery."

Xiang Yuan applauded without hesitation.

The prince smiled slightly, threw the bow and arrow to the servant, and strode towards Xiang Yuan.

"How did Xiang Qing come here today?"

Xiang Yuan bent down to salute, the prince hurriedly helped him up, and said: "I told you not to be so polite, why is Xiang Qing still insisting on going his own way every time he sees Gu?"

"In any case, etiquette cannot be broken, this is the basic."

The prince muttered quietly: "It's better to be comfortable outside."

Xiang Yuan twitched his eyebrows, pretending not to hear.

"The sage asked the minister to visit the prince, fearing that the prince would be unhappy, so he ordered the minister to enlighten His Highness the prince."

When the prince heard it, a blush first appeared on his face, and then it faded away, changing into an irritable expression.The servant looked at his face, and hurried over with the soaked handkerchief.The prince took it, wiped his face well, then threw the handkerchief to the servant, strode to the mahogany inlaid jade chair, flicked the corner of his robe, and sat down with a big horse and a golden knife.

"Xiang Qing, sit down."

Point to the chair across from him.

Xiang Yuan sat down as he said, and the servants had already served hot tea lightly.

The prince only took a sip, then put it down, and said: "You still drink this on a hot day? You don't care, go, and exchange it for iced sour plum soup."

Chang Deshun, the personal attendant, was brought up after the Damo book was sent out, and he had served the prince for two or three years, so he had already figured out what the prince's temperament was.At this time, seeing that although the prince had a bad tone, there was no anger in his eyes, so he knew that the prince had no intention of punishment.The little waiter who was waiting to serve the tea was startled, almost lost his balance of the teacup, hurried over, patted the little waiter unobtrusively, and turned his eyes over, the little waiter finally felt at ease when he saw it, and changed his footsteps steadily. Put down the teacup.

Chang Deshun is a good-natured person, and he can understand the prince's thoughts very well.At this moment, he personally put the sour plum soup on the small table between the prince and Xiang Yuan's seats, but smiled at Xiang Yuan and said, "Master Xiang, please use it slowly."

Sure enough, the Prince's face turned pale, and seeing Xiang Yuan take a sip, he praised that it was indeed a relief from the heat, and urged him: "Go ask the imperial dining room to cook some delicious dishes to go with the wine. I want to have a few drinks with Xiang Qing."

Chang Deshun responded with a smile, and when he went out, he saw the little servant from just now leaning over, yelling flatteringly, "Grandpa Chang, if you have something to do, tell me!"

Chang Deshun gritted his teeth and responded.

How could he be treated like this when Mo Shu was there?It's a pity, Mo Shu's poor man went out with His Highness, so he just broke it.

His Highness was different from Mr. Xiang, he personally said that he wanted to invite Mr. Xiang to have a few drinks, but he didn't feel at ease asking others to go.Furthermore, to be able to go to the imperial dining room to be majestic and majestic is what he wished for.Thinking about being unsatisfied at the beginning, the snobbery of the screwdriver in the imperial dining room gave him a lot of supercilious looks.

The prince spoke, and the food and wine were ready within a quarter of an hour, and five or six maids in pink clothes carried the food boxes and brought them in one by one for display.The prince looked at the dishes and nodded to express his satisfaction.

The screwdriver in the imperial dining room is old and cunning, and everyone is not easy to get along with.Those people in front of the head and outside were bouncing around to praise the second younger brother, and the attitude of the father was also ambiguous. At that time, the attitude of the imperial dining room was really subtle.The East Palace wants things, and from time to time, they will delay it with excuses, but it is not a big deal, and they will not cross the line. The driver has been in the palace for a long time, and he has figured out the rules. I can't find a name to punish, and I know how to sell it without any trace.Relying on the fact that they are responsible for eating and drinking in the palace, they have something to rely on, and even his majestic Crown Prince dares to fool him!

But he, Li Qiqian, was not able to swallow this breath.Whether there is a reason or no reason, as the prince, he wants to change the cook who cooks, and it is only a matter of one sentence.Even the emperor knew about it and didn't say a word.Later, the second emperor's younger brother was succeeded, and all the chattering inside and outside the palace fell silent for an instant.

Li Qiqian lightly put the imperial dining room in a difficult situation for him, and he told Xiang Yuan about the five imperial chefs in one go, and finally said: "Want to take care of Gu? Don't even look at who I am! If this tone does not come out, they will still Dang Gu is a soft-hearted man, so he won't have to push his nose against his face in the future!"

Xiang Yuan looked at the prince, looked at him, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.In just a moment of effort, he was enlightened.

He finally wanted to understand why the sage had an unusual attitude towards him and his teacher, and why he was so fond of him alone, and why the Gu family of the second aristocratic family in the capital today took the initiative to show affection to him.Several things seem to be unrelated, but in fact there is a crucial factor that is intertwined with each other.

That is, the crown prince, the prince of a country, the future saint, his current attitude towards the aristocratic family and the poor family.

Master Lin Gong has always been committed to fighting against the power of the aristocratic family and supporting the poor. He has an attitude of incompatibility with the rich and powerful families. Although he is a closed disciple of his teacher, he has never been so radical. It can even be said that he and his teacher's ideas are the same. It runs counter to it.To the aristocratic family, his attitude is to suppress and coexist, which can be mutually beneficial.I don't know whether it was the teacher or the sage who first noticed such an attitude. In short, the final result was that Duke Lin withdrew from the court, and he became the leader of the sect instead of Duke Lin, continuing to be in the heart of the emperor.

As for the Gu family, Xiang Yuan pondered, it should be the sage who unexpectedly became the second son of the emperor, disrupting the plans of these aristocratic families and forcing them to find another way out.As the second family in the capital, the Gu family naturally has its own way of survival.From the fact that they were able to lower their face and show favor to themselves, it could be seen that the Gu family planned to surrender to the prince.However, since the prince has always hated the family, the Gu family was afraid that they would go in the wrong direction, causing the prince to be suspicious and oppressive, so there was a banquet for Jinyu Manxianglou today.If he guessed correctly, in a few days, the actual ruler of the Gu family, the obese Gu Cabinet, will personally invite him.

Also, the most important saint here.Xiang Yuan finally understood that the sage appointed him as the supervisor, and hinted at another deep meaning of his friendship with Prince An.Among all the clan relatives in the capital, Prince An is the one with the closest relationship with the family.This old prince who has gone through three dynasties can deal with it calmly no matter in the heyday of the family or in its decline. His mental skills cannot be underestimated.

As for the sage's actions to reduce the power of the family some time ago, it seems to be paving the way for the prince.It has to be said that the sage has a fatherly heart and really thinks a lot about the prince.

While Xiang Yuan's thoughts were spinning for a few breaths, the prince personally picked up the jug and filled the white jade cup with orange-gold liquid.

"This is this year's tribute wine, made from drunk peaches. Not only does it have a good color, but it also tastes wonderful, and it's not intoxicating. Xiang Qing should try it."

Xiang Yuan had heard of the name of this wine, and it was one of the few tribute wines in the palace.

There was just a heavy rain at noon, and there was a cool breeze outside at this time, the air was fresh, and because tall trees were planted all over the front of the hall, it was very shaded.Sitting in the hall is also refreshing.The two monarchs and ministers sat facing each other by the window and drank. Outside the screen, a court lady sat in front of a zither, playing jingle dong dong.

The crown prince didn't want to mention the marriage, and Xiang Yuan didn't take the initiative to provoke it. After thinking about the problems that had been bothering him, Xiang Yuan felt extremely relaxed at this moment.He just drank and ate food slowly, chatting and laughing with the prince, which made the prince feel relieved.

He didn't want to tell anyone about the wedding at this time.Firstly, he himself didn't think about what to do, secondly, since it involved his whole life, and involved the court and harem, he was unwilling to let it go.

Seeing that Xiang Yuan didn't seem to want to mention the big wedding, the prince felt much more relaxed, thinking that Xiang Qing's visit was just because of his father's sacred order.

While talking, Xiang Yuan naturally talked about Xiang Yu's marriage.With a smile on the corner of his mouth, soft eyebrows and eyes, Xiang Yuan said: "Neither my wife nor I thought that brother Yu's last fate would be a little brother."

Seeing Xiang Yuan's gentle appearance, the prince couldn't help but secretly said: "It's been so many years, and I'm still so close to Zhao Zhengjun, but just speaking of it, the expression between his brows and eyes immediately changed, tsk tsk."

However, the prince is really interested in Xiang Yu's marriage.Hearing Xiang Yuan say that Xiang Yu ordered a younger brother, the prince's eyes lit up.Putting on airs and holding back for a moment, the prince thought that there was no trace and asked: "How did they know each other?"

Xiang Yuan lowered his head and took a sip of his wine, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.He raised his head again, with a very relaxed expression, and told the story of Xiang Yu's acquaintance with Brother Yu very naturally. As for the reason why he failed to get married with the Lu family, he didn't go into details, but just mentioned it in one word.

After all, at this time, the girl's family is still famous, if there are any unfavorable rumors, it will harm the little girl's life.Although Xiang Yuan was angry that the mother and daughter of the Lu family didn't respect Zhao Shen enough, he wouldn't do anything that would intentionally harm his lifelong marriage.As for grudges, he prefers to resolve them by himself.

Li Qigan didn't think about Zhao Shen, but instead thought about Xiang Yu's background, so he attributed the reason why the two families couldn't discuss marriage to the Lu family's vanity and snobbery, and they didn't see Xiang Yu's real parentage.

Thinking of this love of vanity, Li Qiqian's heart moved, and he slowly had an idea.

Although the father didn't reveal the specific tone, but based on his meticulous observation, he can roughly deduce who the saint's favorite candidate for the crown princess is.He had to think hard about what to do to achieve his goal.

Xiang Yuan went back to report to Emperor Jing'an, and only said that the prince's mood is stable now, his attitude is peaceful, and he doesn't seem to be troubled.Moreover, the prince didn't want to mention the marriage, so he couldn't say anything, and it was not good for him to do things, so he blamed the saint.

Emperor Jing'an sighed, not blaming Xiang Yuan.What is his son's temper, he has naturally known it since he was a child.It's just that the crown prince values ​​Xiang Yuan very much, and he wants to ask him to go. It's best if he can unravel it. If he can't untie it, it's good to ask the prince to change his mood.Looking at it now, the effect is still very good.

Naturally, the saint was not dissatisfied with Xiang Yuan's reply.In the evening, the crown prince came to pay his respects in person, had dinner with Emperor Jing'an, and said many things to make him happy, and the crown prince took the initiative to mention the marriage and expressed his thoughts. Emperor Jing'an was surprised and happy, although he was still worried about the prince's marriage. But in the end he let go and allowed the prince to watch each other in private.Seeing the crown prince's expression of joy and grateful eyes flushed, Emperor Jing'an felt soft and sore in his heart.After all, the child has grown up and has a mind of his own.But that's fine, after all, the crown prince is the future king of a country, if he dare not refute anything, dare not express his own thoughts, such a crown prince is not a country's luck.

Xiang Yuan returned to the mansion, first went back to his yard to change into the court clothes, and then changed into comfortable ordinary clothes again, and then took Zhao Shen to Li Shi's to say hello.

Zhao Shen smelled the faint smell of alcohol on Xiang Yuan's body, so he turned around and called the little girl who was waiting under the porch, and said, "Go to the kitchen and order them to cook a bowl of hangover soup for the master to use when he comes back."

Xiang Yuan tugged at Zhao Shen's sleeve in a funny way, and said, "No need, I haven't drunk much, I'm awake."

Zhao Shen ignored it. "Even if you're not drunk, drinking some hangover soup is only good."

Xiang Yuan couldn't say no to Zhao Shen, so he had to resign himself to his fate and prepare to go back to drink the very bad hangover soup later.

Recently, the daughter-in-law and Qi Yun secretly planned to have a big fight, and put most of their energy into it every day.Once the energy is scattered externally, naturally internally it is not as dedicated as before.Two days ago, Zhuo Zhuo complained to him, saying that his father had not hugged him or put him to sleep for several days, and he swore that his father must have had a baby again, and that he would not love the older baby anymore.Hearing this, Xiang Yuan almost burst out laughing.Finally, I figured out that Zhuozhuo thought this way because Qi Zhangshao was pregnant again, and he couldn't take care of Huzi, so he coaxed Huzi to take care of the unborn baby.Hu Zi was so stupid that he couldn't speak clearly, but Zhuo Zhuo understood it on his own, so this idea was hidden in his little head.

Xiang Yuan, Xiang Yuan couldn't laugh or cry.But after thinking about it, I thought that if the daughter-in-law really had another one, it wouldn't be a bad thing!

Just as he was thinking wildly, this Zhao Shen started the topic.Now that the two of them were walking on the quiet bluestone road in the inner house, Xiang Yuan listened to his daughter-in-law telling him about his and Qi Yun's plans bit by bit, and asked his opinion if he was unsure.

Zhao Shen's voice is soft, although it is not very clear, but it has its own charm, the eaves of the corridor, and beside the bluestone road, the wind lanterns of the dead are shining softly and ambiguously.Xiang Yuan turned his head to look at Zhao Shen, and saw that his brows and eyes were stretched, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he was speaking slowly, confident and flamboyant.With a heartbeat, he leaned over and kissed Zhao Shen on the left cheek.

"Daughter-in-law is really capable!"

Zhao Shen turned his head to look at him, pursed his lips and smiled.

Before reaching Li's house, he heard laughter and laughter inside. Li didn't know what he heard, and laughed very happily.

Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen went in, but Li's smile hadn't faded away. Seeing them, she hurriedly waved: "You guys are here, can you have a meal? Mother has a newly made shortbread here, bring it here for you to try."

Zhao Shen also had meals outside, not to mention Xiang Yuan, he ate lunch and afternoon, and he was still very full.He quickly called Li Shi to stop, saying that he was very full.

Mrs. Li didn't force herself after hearing this, but excitedly said to Brother Yun who was sitting in the room: "Brother Yun, come on, tell me the joke just now, so that you, Second Uncle Xiang and Zhao Zhengjun, can also enjoy themselves." Oops, I was so ridiculous just now, I have never heard of this joke before."

Zhao Shen looked at Brother Yun and saw that he was still dressed in plain clothes without any decorations, but it made him look very delicate and delicate.At this moment, she was obediently sitting at the lower head of Mrs. Li, and when she heard what Mrs. Li said, she looked over with bright eyes.
