The autumn moon is definitely the most beautiful scenery.
Li Chengqian sat alone in the courtyard, with a pot of sake in his hand, admiring the bright moon in the sky.
Just when Li Chengqian was about to sigh, a soft sound suddenly came from behind him.
There is no need for the other party to speak, let alone any action from the other party. .??.
Li Chengqian knew who was coming.
He pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit."
The visitor was not polite to him and sat down next to him.
And without hesitation, he grabbed the wine cup next to his hand and drank the wine in one gulp.
After drinking, the man smacked his lips and said, "This wine is as light as water, can you drink it?"
"Are you drinking? It depends on your mood. Why does it matter what kind of wine it is?"
Li Chengqian chuckled and turned his head, looked at Yuan Yuan in front of him, and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to have lost a lot of weight. What were you doing?"
"I went to the northwest and then to the southwest."
Yuan Yuan shook his head and said: "Among other things, the scenery in these two places is really good, especially the grasslands in the northwest. I simply don't want to come back after going there."
"Then why did you come back?"
Li Chengqian raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Could it be that you can't bear to leave me?"
"shameless."
Yuan Yuan gave Li Chengqian a big eye roll.
Then, she looked at Li Chengqian and said, "How is Silla? Have you managed to pick up that girl?"
"Silla is pretty good."
Li Chengqian replied calmly: "But I really don't like that girl."
"just you?"
"Can you still eat the meat that is brought to your mouth?"
Yuan Yuan looked at Li Chengqian with a curious face.
"Hey, I said."
“When have I ever had meat delivered to my mouth?”
"No, no, that shouldn't be said."
"I should say, when did I become the kind of silly boy you say who can't walk when he sees a girl?" Li Chengqian's face was full of confusion.
It seems like I have never been like that.
How come in Yuan Yuan's eyes, he seems to have become a bohemian and uninhibited adulterer?
"You still say you're not?"
"Look at those two pretty girls in your house."
Yuan Yuan curled up her lips and said, "How many people out there don't tell you that Your Highness, Prince Qin, lives in Wenrou Township every day?"
"Hehehe."
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "My two daughters-in-law are both appointed by my father. There is nothing I can do about it."
"Besides, we truly love each other, and we didn't get it by force."
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I think I still have room for two concubines. How about you give in and help me fill the vacancies?"
As he said these words, Li Chengqian suddenly felt a chill approaching.
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and looked directly at the half-unsheathed sword.
"You girl, can you stop thinking about using force?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "Besides, you may not be able to defeat me even if you use force, so why bother asking for trouble?"
"How about giving it a try?"
Yuan Yuan raised his eyebrows, looked directly at Li Chengqian and said: "It is said that your highness, King Qin, is highly skilled in martial arts. I really want to see it."
"No, no, no, no."
"I don't like hitting women."
Having said this, Li Chengqian bent down and picked up a small box from under his feet.
He pushed the small box closer to Yuan Yuan and said: "I didn't find anything else when I went to Silla this time. I just asked for a jade pendant from King Zhenping."
"I asked someone to make this jade pendant into a sword spike."
"But I don't use a sword either, so I'll give it to you."
After saying that, Li Chengqian specifically looked at Yuan Yuan's hand.
The bare hilt of the sword.
"Want you to mind your own business?"
Yuan Yuan rolled her eyes at Li Chengqian, and then put away the sword spike.
She said: "However, the fact that you have this intention proves that I have not protected you for so long in vain. I will accept the sword spike without any courtesy."
"It's yours to begin with, there's no need to be polite."
Li Chengqian stood up slowly and said: "Okay, it's getting late. I have to go back to the house and rest. If you still want to drink, just ask someone to get it for you."
After saying this, Li Chengqian walked back to his small courtyard.
Yuan Yuan was sitting in the courtyard, playing with the jade pendant in his hand, with a smile on his face and a different meaning in his eyes.
…
Vertical sun.
The news of Li Chengqian's return spread to the ears of many people.
Therefore, Li Chengqian's mansion suddenly became lively.
People from the Su family, people from the Lu family, people from the Fang family, people from the Du family, people from the Changsun family...
Anyway, all the people who were supposed to be there arrived, and they all came to ask Li Chengqian how he felt when he was in Silla, and so on.
In the final analysis, it's nothing more than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Li Chengqian had never experienced this before.
After all, in the eyes of others, he was still young at that time, and even if he had some skills, there was no need to curry favor with him.
But now, this guy has grown up and started a family on his own. Who is not allowed to come over and get close to him?
And just when Li Chengqian was busy acknowledging these people, he suddenly saw someone standing outside the Prince of Qin's mansion and peering into the mansion.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Then, without any hesitation, he ran out of the palace and towards the man outside.
When the other party approached, Li Chengqian directly grabbed the other party's arm.
He said with surprise on his face: "Grandpa Huang, why are you here? Why don't you enter the house, but why are you still standing here?"
The person coming is not someone else. It was none other than the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.
In the blink of an eye, I haven't seen him for a long time.
Li Chengqian also missed him a little in his heart.
After all, he was very kind to me at the beginning.
But when he saw Li Yuan this time, Li Chengqian could clearly feel that Li Yuan had changed.
Not only was he much older, not only was his body stooped, but more importantly, his demeanor had become so much that Li Chengqian could not describe it in words.
That feeling is like having had enough, or the indifference of life coming to an end.
And saw his grandson coming out.
Li Yuan also laughed.
He said softly: "Isn't it because there are so many people in your house, so I'm afraid it will delay your business."
After hearing this, Li Chengqian just came back to his senses.
He twitched his lips and said, "How could that be?"
"Chatting with Grandpa Huang is my biggest priority."
"Let's go, don't stand outside, let's go in quickly."
"I will ask the palace to bring out the best tea and snacks to entertain Grandpa Huang."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian pulled Li Yuan towards the yard.
Li Yuan was somewhat resistant at first.
But gradually, he stopped resisting and followed Li Chengqian into the palace of Prince Qin.
Originally, the guests were mainly Li Chengqian.
But now that Li Yuan is here, he has naturally become the target of everyone's siege.
And Li Yuan at this moment is completely different from before.
He no longer has that aloof and domineering attitude, nor does he have the power that comes from holding power for a long time.
As if he was just an ordinary old man, he was reminiscing and chatting with these old friends in front of him.
For a moment, Li Chengqian felt a sudden pain in his heart.
He finally remembered that the date when Li Yuan's death was recorded in official history seemed to be getting closer...
