Chapter 20 Invitation to the Prince

"Wan'er, smile, smile, this flower handkerchief belongs to you, come on, laugh, laugh..."

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the busyness of the New Year has passed, and the court time has not yet come. There is no need to worship the door, and there is no worry about the court. It is the best time to relax. In addition, it is snowy and cold. Li Xian, who has no intention to go out, is happy to huddle in the royal palace. It is fun to tease Shangguan Wan'er all day long. This is not, Li Xian's hand. An embroidered handkerchief was teased again. Unfortunately, Shangguan Waner obviously didn't buy much about it. Even if Li Xian talked to herself, Shangguan Wan'er leaning on the brocade mat didn't even give an expression. She just silently watched Li Xian's poor performance there, which made Li Xian like a monkey. It was boring, but it made a group of onlookers laugh.

What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at! Do you understand that we are cultivating emotions? Don't we have to start with children in this education? We are practicing, do you know? After teasing for a long time, I didn't see Shangguan Wan'er's reaction. Then I was laughed at by the maids. Li Xian's face was a little hung up. He comforted himself resentfully. He surrendered with a bitter face. He casually threw the flower handkerchief on the bed and stared angrily, but he never thought that Li Xian's posture was not ready. Shangguan Wan'er, who had never moved for a while, stretched out her little hand and took the handkerchief lightly. Not only that, but her beautiful little face showed and smiled proudly.

Er, who the hell is teasing who? This little thing, damn it! As soon as Shangguan Waner's action came out, all the maids who were giggling with laughter turned over. Li Xian's forehead straightened the black line, his eyes widened, and looked at the proud little thing crying and laughing, and he was speechless!

"Your Highness."

Just as everyone was laughing, Gao Mio flashed in from outside the door. Seeing that the room was full of joy, he couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't dare to delay any more. He took a few steps to get behind Li Xian and called in a low voice.

"Hmm?"

Although Li Xian looked angry, in fact, he was quite proud of Shangguan Wan'er's cleverness. He couldn't really be angry. Just as he was about to laugh with him, he suddenly heard Gao Mi's call and had to suppress his smile. He turned around, looked at Gao's and said doubtfully. With a sound.

"Your Highness, someone from the East Palace has come. He said that His Royal Highness invited His Royal Highness to enter the palace." Gao Miao bowed slightly and reported in a low voice.

Huh? Enter the palace for a chat? That's right. Didn't we just get together a few days ago? What do you want to talk about? As soon as Li Xian heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He immediately muttered in his heart. For a moment, he didn't understand the intention of Li Hong's invitation at this time. After a moment of hesitation, he said silently, "Is there any explanation for anyone else?"

Gao Mio shook his head and said, "In return to Your Highness's words, someone passed the message and left. I refused to wait for a moment."

Uh-huh, isn't this just a chance not to refuse us? How famous and mysterious? Li Xian was very close to the prince in the past, but since the case of the imperial edict, Li Xian has deliberately opened the distance between him and Li Hong. He is not very dissatisfied with Li Hong himself. In fact, whether in his previous life or this life, Li Xian has always appreciated Li Hong as a brother in his heart. The problem is that the matter of the heavenly family is at the root. The child has nothing to do with feelings, but only with interests. As long as Li Xian still wants to gather the team quietly, he must form an alliance with Li Xian, so as to hide behind Li Xian's secret development. This is Li Xian's established policy, and it is impossible to change at all.

"Well, prepare the car. In addition, send someone to Lin Hu. Go to Lu Wang's Mansion to talk, and say that I was invited to the palace by the prince's brother today." After Li Xian frowned and thought for a while, he said carefully.

"Yes, I'm going to do it now."

After nearly a month of getting along with each other, Gao Mio has already adapted to Li Xian's changes. At this time, although he can't guess what Li Xian's intention is, he doesn't ask too much. He hurriedly responded to the promise and didn't mention the relevant matters.

"Your Highness." Yanhong, who was waiting aside, heard that Li Xian was going to enter the East Palace. She didn't dare to neglect it. She took a leather jacket and walked to Li Xian's side. She quickly changed her clothes for Li Xian and whispered, "It's cold. Your Highness will go early and come back early. Don't drink too much."

"Well, I know. Please ask Sister Yanhong to send Wan'er to the daughter-in-law of the Lin family. I won't come back for lunch." Li Xian was still very respectful of Yan Hong, a big girl like his sister. He was not angry because of his words as a lesson. He nodded with a smile and ordered her, and then walked out of the door and walked to the front yard...

"My maidservant welcomes Your Highness."

Outside the Chunhua Gate of the East Palace, Li Xian just poked his head out of the carriage. Before he had time to hand over the sign in front of the gate of the palace, Chen Dayong, the eunuch of the East Palace, had led several little eunuchs to meet them, and the big gifts were repeated.

"It's your help, Grandpa Chen. Xiao Wang came a step late and asked his father-in-law to wait for a long time. Haihan, Haihan." As soon as Li Xian came out to greet Chen Dayong, the head of the eunuch of the East Palace, he couldn't help but feel abrupt, but he didn't bring it to his face. He just laughed with a smile on his face, which was approachable.

"I dare not, I dare not. His Royal Highness is already in the Donglin Pavilion. Your Highness, please follow the old slave."

Chen Dayong obviously had no intention to be polite with Li Xianduo. He just smiled reservedly, slightly turned to one side, and made a gesture. Then, regardless of Li Xian's failure to keep up, he led several eunuchs to the palace gate step by step.

What a rude old eunuch! In the past, Li Xian came to the East Palace not a few times, but he had little to do with Chen Dayong, but he often heard about his domineering deeds, and also knew the root of his cold treatment - Prince Li Hong had not yet married, and did not take a concubine. The whole East Palace was taken care of by Chen Dayong, and his high position and power could not be said. In addition, in recent years, the prince has often supervised the country, and there is an endless stream of courtiers coming and going to the East Palace. They have to bribe Chen Dayong every time, otherwise they will have to wear small shoes. In the long run, he has developed Chen Dayong's arrogance. In addition, Chen Dayong also has another identity, that is, he used to be one of the close eunuchs around Wu Meiniang and was sent. When he came to the East Palace, he also had the mission to monitor the prince nearby. Therefore, although this man was arrogant, no one dared to care about it. The reason why he put on airs at this time was nothing more than that he came to the palace gate to wait for Li Xian at the order of the prince. He felt unhappy. It was not that he had a grudge against Li Xian. In fact, he was low-key and incompetent for Li Xian. Even if the prince is a prince, he is not seen by Chen Dayong.

Old euge, let's wait and see! Li Xian not only knew some secrets of Chen Dayu, but also knew that Chen Dayu was the murderer who poisoned Li Hong with a glass of wine in his previous life. Of course, Chen Dayu himself did not come to a good end and was secretly killed by Wu Mei Niang, but he lived less than a day longer than Li Hong. Like Chen Dayong such a small person, Li Xian will not have the same experience as him. However, if he can design and use the last one, Li Xian will not be polite. Therefore, he is not happy with Chen Dayong's rudeness. Li Xian did not have an attack, just like nothing, followed Chen Dayong with a smile, slowly I walked into the Chunhua Gate and walked to Donglin Pavilion speechlessly...

Donglin Pavilion, a side hall next to the back garden in the East Palace, is located in the place of the East Palace. Although Li Hong has not yet got married, the harem is generally just a waste, but the rules are still there. Not to mention ordinary courtiers, even brothers are not allowed to enter without being called. Before and after Li Xian I don't know how many times I came to the East Palace, but it was the first time to go to the Donglin Pavilion. Of course, when Li Xian was the prince in his previous life, he often went to Donglin Pavilion for leisure. He was very familiar with the surrounding scenery. Along the way, all the memories buried in his heart couldn't help but surged up. Under the joys and sorrows, there was a difference. The taste is in my heart.

"I have met the prince brother."

Li Xian went up to the second floor of Donglin Pavilion by Chen Dayong. In his eyes, he saw Li Hong, who was wearing a bright yellow robe, standing against the railing against the stairs. He seemed to be thinking about it. He didn't notice the arrival of the people behind him. Li Xian hesitated slightly and walked forward quickly, bowed his fist and called in a low voice.

"Seventh brother, stand here." Li Hong didn't look back, but raised his hand and ordered in a flat tone.

"Yes, I obey." Li Xianshi didn't know what Li Hong's intention was, but since Li Xian had opened his mouth, Li Xian couldn't say anything to refuse. He hesitated slightly. After responding, he raised his foot and walked to Li Hong's side. Following Li Hong's eyes, he immediately saw a group of little eunuchs in the garden not far away. The sound of a tree that was not too tall was repaired, and the sound of sawing wood was quite harsh.

Pruning, or in winter? What's the name for you? Oh, yes, hey, it's really hard for you! Although Li Xian has never learned gardening, he still knows when it is suitable for trimming trees - this behavior has always been only in spring and autumn. If you pruning in winter, it is almost equivalent to destroying trees. Even if the pruned tree is not dead in the next spring, it will definitely not grow well. Li Hong may not know this article, but he can be responsible for it. The eunuchs in the back garden are all unreasonable. The reason why such a stupid thing can be carried out is actually just a metaphor. It is to make a special performance for Li Xian. The intention is self-evident, but it is one thing to understand, and how to deal with it is another. Even if Li Xian has experienced people, it will be difficult for a while. In order to find a good excuse, he had to quickly turn his mind before Li Hong opened his mouth.

It was obviously impossible for Li Xian to speak first at this time, and Li Hong did not seem to be in a hurry to say more. The two brothers stood side by side, just like two quiet sculptures, but the atmosphere in the attic seemed a little strange...
