Chapter 213 Defense

When Li Shiniang woke up and asked for a meeting, Yuanxiu had already used the Suzhai sent by the temple and was slowly sipping a cup of cheese mixed with crushed ice. Seeing her coming in, she glanced at it faintly. Yuan Xiu's status was noble and pointed out since childhood, raising the usual temperament of the superiors, even though she was from the Li Shiniang family and was also She looked a little cold.

"Your lord..." Li Shiniang called. When she woke up by the Taiyi pool, she thought of considering Yuanxiu's reputation before picking green. At that time, she thought she was proud, but she didn't want to turn around and be suspicious of picking green. Then she woke up. As Cailu said, from Zige Peak to Cuihua Mountain, it was all her in it. It's not surprising that the forbidden soldiers who are friends with the Li family don't dare to talk too much - the time and place of the emergence of the eldest son is too coincidental!

When Li Shiniang just woke up, she was secretly relieved when she heard that Yuan Xiu was summoned - she knew that Yuan Xiu must not have suffered any big losses, otherwise how could she still have a chance to wake up? Mengtang's atmosphere opened up again, and the princess was humiliated. Now Fengchun is in the throne, not to mention that she is a family woman, even Princess Yunzhou can't bear this crime!

She knew that the most important thing now was to clear her suspicion, so she did not dare to just bow. She knelt down and argued, "Your lord has a life-saving kindness to your daughter. What reason does she have to harm your lord?"

Yuan Xiu looked at her silently and did not answer. Li Shiniang was helpless and had to continue to say, "Besides, the minister is from the Li family in Zhao County. What a serious crime is it to murder your lord? Aren't you afraid of involving the clan? What's more, today's event is so obvious that anyone will suspect that it was done by the minister. Although the minister is not smart, she will not expose herself clearly! And today's demon way, can the minister swear to heaven that she has never even seen it, not to say it is colluding with him?

"What you said is reasonable, but tell me who it is if it's not you?" Yuanxiu stared at the fan in her hand. She held a hexagonal palace fan with a lake cyan bottom in her hand. The lake cyan gauze tightened the fan on both sides, embroidered with three or four colorful butterflies. A pink peaches protruded out enchantingly from below. The butterfly seemed to be inhabitible. The handle of the fan also used mahogany suitable for the scene. Only a layer of varnish was painted, slightly scindy, and the bottom was dressed like one underneath. Yi knot, with apricot tassels, Yuanxiu's eyes fell on the tassels. Li Shiniang then took a look. Although she was not such a dexterous person, she grew up in the family. Seeing Yuan Xiu's strange look, she was slightly shocked and thought about it quickly. Fang shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I really don't I have betrayed your master!"

Yuan Xiu smiled faintly and suddenly asked about something that had nothing to do with it: "I heard that your brother Li Fu is very famous in Chang'an. The long night is lonely. Why don't you listen to it with me?"

"The minister's brother was just a little greedy and indulgent in his early years. The so-called reputation is ridiculous. How dare he stain the nobleman's ear?" Li Shiniang was secretly surprised to see her look at the apricot tassels. When she heard Yuanxiu mention Li Fu, she was even more shocked. How dare she say it?

However, Yuanxiu was entangled in this topic, put down the fan, and squinted his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter. Our dream of the Tang Dynasty is open, not to mention that I heard that your brother's reputation is not bad - at the time of cold food, it seems that he won the Chuju in front of Linde Hall for two consecutive years, right? Speaking of Li Gui's longevity, the pair of children he left behind are excellent. Even you are also famous among the noble daughters of Chang'an, and the niece of our palace, the head of Shengping County, is worse than you.

Li Gui is the father of Li Fu and Li Shiniang. This person was very famous when he was Emperor Huaizong and was almost as famous as Du Danpin. At that time, Emperor Xianzong, who was the prince, attached great importance to him. Unfortunately, this person lived as short as Du Danpin. When he died, he was more than 40 years old and left a son and a daughter. Brother was raised on behalf of him, and Li Gui's previous official position was to sacrifice wine for the national son. This dynasty inherited the imperial examination system of the previous dynasty, and the fall of the previous dynasty had something to do with the actions of the Guanlong clan behind him. Therefore, this dynasty learned lessons and deliberately implemented the imperial examination system with the influence of the weak family. After Emperor Xuanzong, talented people had a background. Proudly, as long as the children of Chang'an are not very bad, they always have to think of ways to send them to the prison. Li Fu has a broad circle among the young people in Chang'an, which has nothing to do with this.

Yuan Xiu thought to himself that Li Fu was a talented person. In the past, when Li Gui was still alive, he was known as Li Du, the eldest son of the five-bedroom Du family. Although he was not as well-known talents such as Li Taibai and Du Fu in the Tianbao period, he was a well-known talent in the Chang'an family, and these two were also very good at practice. , the two generally live a long life, and Du Furi, the son of Du Danpin, is still not famous in Chang'an - he is the only man in Du Furi's generation. Du Qingtang only has two daughters under his knees, and both of them have been married far away. Naturally, he is particularly spoiled and carefully cultivated this nephew.

However, Li Gui's brother has many children and does not treat Li Fu and Li Shiniang badly, but it is unlikely to say that Du Qingtang treats Du Furi. In this case, instead of weakening his friendship with teenagers, Li Fu continued, and even his sister was brushed, which showed that he really had some ability!

"Your lord praised it. The master of Shengping County's riding skills are exquisite. A few months ago, he won a big Wanliang foal from Zheng Jialangjun, who is a man. How can the minister and daughter compare with it?" Li Shiniang said carefully. Although she didn't understand Yuan Xiu's intention, she instinctively wanted to pull the topic away from her brother. Unfortunately, Yuanxiu didn't say a word: "As you said, your riding is taught by Li Fu. It can be seen that your brother's riding is better?"

Li Shiniang thought for two breaths before cautiously said, "Your Lord, the riding and shooting of the minister and brother is better than the minister's daughter, but it's nothing to put it in Chang'an youth."

"He is good at Cuju." Yuanxiu said lazily, "I remember the return of the cold food Cuju. Cui Fengwu invited himself to fight. Originally, he said from top to bottom that he was self-contained and full of interest, but he didn't expect that the whole audience would be suppressed by Li Fu. It was really difficult for him to maintain his elegant style. After that, the seventh sister of this palace was distressed for a long time and also made the late emperor. The imperial medicine was sent over..." Speaking of this, she noticed a trace of complexity in Li Shiniang's eyes. She nodded her cheek thoughtfully and said softly, "Is this the reason why you want to murder this palace?"

"What?" Li Shiniang was shocked!

Yuan Xiu stared at her and said slowly, "I am the sister of Princess Changyang. Although she is not as close as Princess Changping, she is her half-brother. What's more, the princesses have always been raised in the deep palace. Even if they travel, they still hug before and after, even if they are trusted and are so close to this palace today. , this palace has its own green catering, and Yuan Beihe is at risk. Isn't it normal for Li Shiniangzi to find an opportunity to join hands with outsiders even if she comes to this palace?

Seeing that Li Shiniang covered her mouth, her eyes were full of horrified. Yuan Xiu sneered, and her voice was extremely low, but there was a bone chill. "What's more, this palace was taken away. Although it has not been humiliated, it is not good to hear. Although you are deeply suspicious, you think that the royal family may be for the name of this palace. Yu, I can't do anything to you openly, right?

With that, he sighed and said leisurely, "I originally thought you were a smart person, or not as smart as some people, but at least you are not too stupid, but I don't want you to be confused!"

"Your master misunderstood!" Li Shiniang whispered. She knew that since Yuan Xiu had said something, she was obviously going to give herself a chance to defend herself. If she missed this time and asked Yuan Xiu to think that this was the truth, it would be miserable!

Can't think about it carefully, Li Shiniang said quickly, "Under the so-called world, is it the king's land, the shore of the land? Is it the king's minister? If your lord wants to treat the sins of his daughter and brother, does he still need a reason? Moreover, the minister did not dare to hide it from your lord. She did grow up with Cui Fengwu since childhood..." She gritted her teeth and continued, "Li and Cui's two families belong to the same five surnames and Qiwang, and they have made friends with each other. You must know it! When I was young, I lost my daughter. Although I was educated by my uncle and my brother, I envied the parents of ordinary people and could be happy under my knees. I first met my lord on the Guanlan Building last time. At that time, my daughter still did not know the identity of your lord, and it was very offensive, but it was impossible to disguise in front of your lord. Your Lord also knows that the daughter and Cui Fengwu's sister Cui Shuyo was very good. Because of Yao Niang, her court ladies were able to visit Cui's house from time to time. They envied the Cui family for their happiness, but they didn't expect that because the minister's daughter and Cui Fengwu were not much different in age, the wedding news gradually spread out. The Cui family was generous and just laughed about it. Although the minister's daughter was a girl, she followed her brother to learn to ride and shoot since she was a child and defend herself. After a few times, I didn't pay attention to it. Later, the former emperor chose Cui Fengwu as his son-in-law for Princess Changyang, and the minister also sent a special gift to celebrate. Originally, I thought that the rumor could stop here, but unexpectedly it spread to your lord's ears and pleaded with you to distinguish right from right and wrong - although the minister's daughter was young and young, she was also five surnames and seven hopes in the end. Female! Moreover, if you tell the truth, the minister's temperament is not very good. If there is anything with Cui Fengwu, how can she not say a word?

Speaking of this, she already felt a slight pain when she knelt on the ground, but she could only endure it, ease her breath, and then continued to say, "My court lady and Cui Fengwu are only familiar with each other because of Li and Cui's friendship, and because her sister Yao Niang walked more than others, and Cui Fengwu is innocent. Cui Feng He got Princess Shangchangyang. Not to mention that this marriage was given by the previous emperor, but how glorious it was. Who in Chang'an did not know that Princess Changyang was as beautiful as a flower, her status was noble, and she was deeply in love with Cui Fengwu. The eldest son of the Cui family got a wife like this, and the minister and daughter were also happy about it... How could she complain about Princess Changyang? Hate your master? This is really nonsense!"

Yuan Xiu listened quietly and thought from time to time. When she finished speaking, Fang smiled and said, "What you said is reasonable."

Li Shiniang did not dare to relax and said cautiously, "I really don't know why I have to complain about your lord? Your lord has no grudge against the minister - at the beginning, on Guanlan Building, the minister did not know your identity and was more offensive and rude. However, the noble lord was magnanimous and bumped into the minister's daughter in a coma due to heart attack on the Zige Peak. Instead of offending the minister's previous collision, he made people repay his sister and save the minister's daughter! I didn't dare to hide it from you. When I went home and ordered my daughter to go to the Purple Pavilion to thank you for saving my life, the minister was still worried that your Lord would ask about Guanlan Tower, but I didn't expect that your lord not only didn't mention Guanlan Tower, but also helped my court ladies speak, so that I could wear the pomegranate red she liked at will... If the minister wants to calculate Lord, that's really not as good as pigs and dogs!"

Her words were loud. Yuan Xiu narrowed his eyes and meditated for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes turned green and said angrily, "The ten ladies came in this time. How can they not even move an embroidered stool? I just came down from the mountain today. I'm a little tired. You're too lazy!"

Originally, after Li Shiniang came in, Cai Lv had been standing behind Yuan Xiu. She lowered her eyebrows and couldn't see her expression. At this moment, she raised her head and smiled and said, "The tenth lady just came into the house and pulled her to make fun of her. The two people said one after another, and I didn't even find the opportunity to serve tea, let alone other What? Just now, I thought that the A family must dislike the stupidity of the ten women now, so I didn't dare to say anything for fear of being kicked out by the A family, but I didn't expect that the A family would blame the slave again at this time!" As she spoke, she moved out of the embroidered stool from behind the screen and put it in front of Li Shiniang with a smile. Li Shiniang thanked her kindness before standing up. Today, she accompanied Yuan Xiu to fly all the way from Zige Peak to the bottom of Cuihua Mountain. She abandoned her horse and climbed to the mountain. After Yuan Xiu disappeared, she was also restrained by several forbidden soldiers and dragged her to the mountain. The people spent a lot of consumption. At this time, they knelt down for a long time and got up. They were suddenly a little unstable. They picked the green and helped them in a timely manner. They covered their sleeves and smiled, "Ten ladies, humble people, have no knowledge. Today, on the mountain, I have offended the wife. I hope the lady has a lot. Don't care about the slaves!"

Her words were to make amends, but she said it casually. She just knew that she was Yuanxiu's close maid of honor. No matter how unwilling she was in front of Yuan Xiu, Li Shiniang couldn't bear it. She reluctantly smiled and said, "Green Niang laughed. You did that for your consideration. How can I blame you?"

Yuanxiu sat on the main seat and looked at the words of picking green, but he only smiled and said nothing. When Li Shiniang showed her attitude, she asked slowly, "Can you have a meal?"

She didn't ask. Li Shiniang had hardly eaten anything in the morning, and it was just in danger. Now when she saw that Yuanxiu finally believed her words, she suddenly felt hungry and even her voice was about to weaken: "Thank you for asking. I haven't used it yet."

"You just said today that you don't like Suzhai. Although I think Suzhai in this temple has a different flavor, I'm afraid it will be lighter for you. Fortunately, I just eat it this time... I asked me to pick a few greens and put them in an ice basin. You can use it here. Rest early." Yuan Xiu said slowly.

Li Shiniang originally thought that the crisis had passed, but when she heard her say so, her face suddenly changed!

-She suddenly remembered that when she woke up, it was the forbidden army that came to spread her, but her maid had never appeared from beginning to end!
