The main hall of Beidu Palace is very spacious and gorgeously decorated, with tables and chairs made of red sandalwood, gauze curtains made of silk and satin, valuable antiques placed on the side shelves, and green plants and plants being planted everywhere.
Burning candle.
Tang Ji followed the Bei Du Wang and his wife in. After Li Wenquan sat down on the main seat, he raised his hand and saluted again.
Li Wenquan raised his hand and pointed to the seat on the side: "Brother Tang, you're welcome, take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tang Ji responded and sat down on the chair.
"Come here, watch the tea." Li Wenquan ordered. After the maid brought the tea, he glanced at the other party suspiciously and said straight to the point: "I believe you can see Shu'er's thoughts. I don't know.
What do you think, little brother Tang?"
Tang Ji put the tea he had just received on the table, stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, this villain is just a grass bandit. He thinks he is not worthy and does not dare to climb up to the princess. He also has no feelings for men and women towards the princess.
"
He originally wanted to emphasize that it was Hua Yuan'er who grabbed the hydrangea, but after thinking about it carefully, it was better not to cheat his brother!
Hearing this, before Li Wenquan could speak, Wang Mengyan, who had already learned what had happened from Li Wanchi's mouth, took the lead and said: "Oh? In that case, why did you follow Yu'er for most of the way to Yuanyang Tower? Besides that
This hydrangea was originally thrown to you by Shuer!"
The corner of Tang Ji's mouth twitched. If he didn't go, if something happened to Li Yushu, he might be separated. But these words could only be thought in his heart. If he said them, he would lose the face of the princess and the Prince of Beidu. He coughed lightly.
With a cry, he replied: "I thought it was inappropriate for the princess to ask for a bride rashly, so I thought of going to investigate. Who knew things would turn out like this."
Hearing this, Li Wenquan nodded slightly and looked at Tang Ji with some appreciation.
This guy is quite smart and can make suggestions, so he seems to be a good choice as his son-in-law.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Although Shu'er is a princess and has a distinguished status, she cannot mess with the ethics. Don't mention such ridiculous things like a female servant serving three husbands again. Although you are a bandit, you are also very witty.
Man, it’s really aggrieved to stay in Heilong Village. Why don’t you stay in Yingzhou to help me? Once you have accomplished your merits, I will appoint you as an official. At that time, there will be no such thing as worthy or unworthy. As for the relationship between men and women.
, you just need to cultivate her slowly. Although Shu'er is not mentally mature enough, she is also very well-behaved and as pure as a piece of paper. Isn't it a blessing to marry her?"
After hearing what he said, Tang Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, his thoughts racing in his mind.
Once he marries Li Yushu, wouldn't it be tantamount to betraying Ranran?
But if they don't agree, they will probably have to leave Yingzhou City with Fang Wei the morning after tomorrow. If the challenge fails, he may still have a glimmer of hope, but it will be in danger in Kyoto!
To avoid arousing suspicion, he did not spend a long time thinking about it. After quickly coming to his senses, he came up with a compromise: "Your Majesty, it's natural for Tang to stay. It's just between him and the princess. I still want to spend some time getting to know each other."
, do you think it’s okay?”
Li Wenquan nodded slightly and continued: "Now that Shu'er threw the hydrangea has spread. Fortunately, the people in the city are not familiar with the identity of the consort, so there is no need to worry. How long will it take you?"
"One month!" Tang Ji replied decisively.
In one month, either he will pull down the fat man in front of him and the engagement will no longer be fulfilled; or his identity will be revealed and he will die miserably on the street!
Li Wenquan twisted his neck and thought for a while. If this kid is really okay, he should be able to stabilize the hearts of the people in the eight states in a month and send troops to help Jiang State's army break through the border. By then, it can be said to be a double happiness. He smiled and nodded.
: "Okay, I promise you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tang Ji raised his hand to thank him again, feeling relieved in his heart.
The two chatted for a while, and then Li Wenquan remembered something and asked Tang Ji: "Are those two strangers outside from your Black Dragon Village?"
"Your Majesty, yes." Tang Ji replied respectfully, and after thinking for a while, he added: "Your Majesty, my dear, oh no, I have a merciless request."
"Say it." Li Wenquan replied.
Tang Ji pursed his lips, and then continued: "Prince Qi, the three people outside, including Hua Yuan'er, are not very old, but their strength is pretty good. If the prince doesn't dislike it, why not let them stay together to assist you?
Great work accomplished!"
Li Wenquan narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Tang Ji for a few times, and said: "After the siege is over, I will take the elite forces of the major cottages under my command."
Hearing this, Tang Ji secretly cursed the other party twice as an old fox.
In this way, he may have to fight bloody battles in Yingzhou City alone, and the difficulty will directly rise from difficult to hell level!
Unexpectedly, Li Wenquan continued: "However, they all seem to have a good relationship with you and are young. They should stay and train them. It happens that I am short of experts around me."
Tang Ji's eyes sparkled again, and he stood up and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Okay, okay, you've said this many times, there's nothing to thank you for. I always cherish talents!" After Li Wenquan finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, spitting the tea leaves back into the cup, and then added
One sentence: "But I will never be soft on traitors."
The next second, Tang Ji pretended to be dumbfounded and didn't understand anything, and stood up suddenly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my subordinates are loyal to you. If you have second thoughts, you will die!"
Anyway, I have sworn to countless sugar cane men in my last life. None of them were struck to death by lightning. I should be fine too, right?
"Hahaha, okay!" Li Wenquan laughed heartily a few times, and then stood up: "I still have something to do, so you can go down first. After Fang Wei leaves, you can move to the palace with those others. Right
Come on, explain to Shu'er carefully, she will listen to you, Shu'er is my favorite daughter, don't bully her, otherwise I will never spare you!"
"Yes, Tang Ran will remember the prince's teachings." Tang Ji stood up and replied with his hands in hand.
After the other party walked away, he exhaled, turned around and walked out of the lobby, murmuring in his heart: "Of course, if you don't marry me, I will be late...I won't be able to get married early!"
At the same time, thousands of miles away in the city of Kyoto, the beautiful woman who was sitting in a daze in the courtyard of Ji Ranju sneezed, and accidentally pricked her hand with the embroidery needle she was holding, causing her face to change slightly and she lowered her head.
He glanced twice, then took the bloody finger into his mouth.
At just this moment, a little girl wearing a pink skirt ran out of the side hut, holding a white cloak in her hand and draped it on her body: "Miss, I asked you to wear more clothes.
How are you? Do you have a cold? Hmm? What’s wrong with your hands? "
Jiang Ran smiled lightly, put down his arm, took out a clean handkerchief and wrapped it around his fingers: "I was a little distracted and accidentally pricked my hand."
"You're not careful yet. You've been 'accidental' more than a dozen times in the past few days, so why don't you just stop doing it." Jiu'er squatted beside her, pouted, and after caring about Jiang, he snorted again.
: "It's all that heartless man's fault for leaving you alone in Kyoto, miss. How about we go find him?"
After listening to Jiu'er's suggestion, Jiang Ran was a little moved. For some reason, as soon as he left, he felt empty in his heart, but in the end he replied rationally: "Don't mess around, he is busy enough, let's not go to him."
He causes trouble."
Jiu'er snorted again: "Miss, men can change their hearts. You haven't married him yet. Be careful if someone comes after you!"
"You damn girl, where did you hear these words?" Jiang Ran glanced at her angrily, but she believed Tang Ji in her heart, and then sighed softly: "I don't know when I will receive him again.
letter."
Not long after she finished speaking, Ye Zheng rushed in from outside: "Madam, there is a letter from the young master!"
