"If the prince is depressed, just find someone to fight with all your strength until your whole body is sore and you don't even want to move your fingers. Then your mood will calm down and you will be able to think about things calmly.
(!. Win phone bills)" Fang Yiai entered the martial arts training room, put on a very experienced look, and lectured Li Chengqian.
"Really?" Li Chengqian asked suspiciously.[..com]
"One look at you, I can tell you haven't fought much." Fang Yiai curled her lips and said.
"Don't saints teach, and a gentleman speaks but doesn't take action? I have never touched anyone since I was young." Li Chengqian did not deny this.
"If your words were heard by the soldiers fighting at the border, they would definitely be chilled." Fang Yiai said disapprovingly, "The sage said that a gentleman speaks but does not act. The two sides of the conflict must have the character of a gentleman.
Feng is the best. Have you ever seen how many gentlemen struggled to reason with barbarians who didn’t understand human affairs? Haven’t they all had Kong Wu follow them vigorously, and directly went up to them and beat them away with fists and kicks?”
"Is that still the way of a gentleman?" Li Chengqian obviously suspected that Fang Yiai was using fallacies to distort a gentleman's understanding.
"Isn't it said in "The Analects of Confucius", "How about repaying evil with kindness?" Confucius said, "How to repay kindness? Repay evil with straightness, repay kindness with kindness."" Fang Yiai said, "A gentleman is magnanimous.
, If you have a clear conscience, why should you stick to means?"
"The third principle of a gentleman is that I am incompetent. A benevolent person does not worry, a knowledgeable person does not be confused, and a brave person does not fear." Li Chengqian replied with a straight face, "A gentleman puts righteousness first. If benevolence and righteousness do not exist, how can you be a gentleman?"
"Being benevolent and righteous to villains is not benevolent and righteous to the common people. When a gentleman's heart is developed, he will benefit the world. If villains are in power, they can be eliminated with a sword. Otherwise, if they harm the people and themselves, how can they be consistent with the way of a gentleman?" Fang Yiai
asked rhetorically.
Li Chengqian was silent, thought for a while, and nodded, agreeing with Fang Yiai's words.
"Don't think about those annoying things and start fighting quickly. When I'm in a bad mood, I always go to Cheng Hualiang and the others and have a hearty fight. I'm so tired that I can no longer extract any extra strength.
When the time comes, you will lie down on the ground covered in sweat, and your mood will naturally feel better, your thoughts will become clearer, and you will be able to think about things smoothly." Fang Yiai put on a posture and said seductively to Li Chengqian, thinking in her heart
I can't help but want to experience for myself how exciting it is to punch the prince.
After all, Li Chengqian was a hot-blooded young man. Although he was taught to be gentle and polite by etiquette, he still had the impulsiveness and bellicosity of a boy in his heart. Especially in the face of Fang Yiai's repeated words and encouragement, he immediately put on a posture.
Seeing the provocative and contemptuous look from Fang Yiai across from him, regardless of being the prince now, even when he was in Prince Qin's palace, no one dared to give him such a look. At that moment, Li Chengqian took the lead to rush forward angrily.
Of course, it was no surprise that he was knocked down by Fang Yiai.
Originally, Li Chengqian failed in one move and was already very embarrassed. Although Fang Yiai next to him did not open his mouth to sarcastically, the naked contemptuous look in his eyes was enough to arouse all the anger in Li Chengqian's heart.
Therefore, Li Chengqian got up from the ground and rushed forward again without thinking or waiting for his posture to go away.
Then, the movement in the martial arts room was the same as what was heard outside after Li Qing and Jin Yu arrived. Li Chengqian fought and failed again and again, until finally he could no longer exert any strength and collapsed.
I gasped loudly on the ground and never wanted to get up again.
When Li Qing and Jin Yu opened the door and went in, what they saw was that Li Chengqian was lying on the ground in a very shapeless manner. He was dirty, his clothes soaked in sweat were all stuck to his body, and he was sweating profusely.
Most of the hair on my head was tied into locks due to sweat.
As for Fang Yiai, she sat cross-legged next to Li Chengqian with a leisurely look on her face, looking at Li Chengqian on the ground with a smile, and praised her in a low voice, "Isn't your highness quite tenacious? You are unyielding and unwilling to admit defeat.
A good will deserves to be carried forward. (It only takes a genius 3 seconds to remember) Hahaha, if the emperor fines me a salary, please don’t forget to pay the debt when the time comes."
The only part of Li Chengqian's body that could move easily was his eyelids, and he immediately gave Fang Yiai a lot of unnecessary eye rolls without hesitation, and his mouth was panting heavily, leaving no room for curses.
"Don't be stunned, you two. Hurry up and have someone prepare hot water. The Crown Prince needs to take a bath and change clothes. Don't forget to have someone prepare more meat for the Crown Prince for dinner. You have just used up so much energy. You have to replenish yourself with dinner, otherwise
It would be bad if the prince woke up hungry in the middle of the night." Fang Yiai turned to Li Qing and Jin Yu who kept rubbing their eyes and said, after saying that, he stood up and left.
"Stop!" Li Chengqian, who had just regained some strength, reluctantly raised his hand and shouted to Fang Yiai with great effort.
Li Qing and Jin Yu looked at the situation and hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Chengqian up.
"You are covered in stinky sweat. The prince needs to take a shower and change clothes. I also have to go back to take a shower and change clothes. Besides, it's getting late, so I have to go home to eat and sleep." Fang Yiai said seriously, and also said it casually.
He pulled up his clothes to show that he was indeed sweating.
"Have someone go to Mr. Fang's house and say hello, saying that Fang Yiai was left alone in the East Palace tonight. By the way, let the kitchen prepare meals for Mr. Fang according to the previous standards, and then clean up the guest room. In addition, I remember that before
Two of the clothes I made in two days are too big, so I gave them to Mr. Fang to change and wash." Li Chengqian directly ordered Li Qing without even looking at Fang Yiai.
Li Qing agreed and left to do some work.
Li Chengqian ignored Fang Yiai and directly ordered Jin Yu to help him go back to his room to take a bath and change clothes.
"Prince, it's not that big of a deal. If you can't beat him, you'll lock him up. What's the point?" Fang Yiai muttered dissatisfied. She really didn't want to stay in the East Palace. The bed she slept on yesterday was all there.
The stiff and unfamiliar smell made Fang Yiai uncomfortable sleeping, so he got up in the middle of the night to meditate and regulate his breathing. It's not like he still couldn't sleep well tonight, so he still had to meditate and regulate his breathing all night, right?
Fang Yiai looked at the back of the privileged Li Chengqian sadly, thinking about her warm and comfortable bed.
No matter how unwilling he was, once the prince spoke, he could only accept his fate and stay in the East Palace.
Fang Yiai's dissatisfaction with Li Chengqian was all vented over dinner. The two people's demeanor at dinner was completely different from that in the afternoon at the martial arts training room. Li Chengqian smiled and looked at Fang Yiai who was getting angry over the meal, which was not very good.
He kindly asked people to replace the empty plate in front of Fang Yiai with dishes from far away. At the same time, he turned a blind eye to Fang Yiai's dissatisfaction.
Perhaps it was because he had consumed too much in the afternoon, or perhaps Fang Yiai’s appearance entertained Li Chengqian. In short, since receiving Hou Luanpei’s letter, Li Chengqian, who had a weak appetite, regained his appetite tonight and ate more than before.
A bowl of rice, along with the people serving the food in the East Palace, felt a lot better, and they were also more attentive to the empty plate in front of Yiai.
Because the Queen's condition requires rest, and the Queen's condition is stable, Li Shimin was afraid that Li Chengqian's appearance in front of Queen Changsun would cause Queen Changsun's mood to fluctuate and affect her condition, so Li Shimin exempted Li Chengqian from the recent morning and dusk sleep and let him
Reflecting in the East Palace, waiting for summons. So after dinner, knowing that Li Chengqian had been bored all afternoon and needed to get out, Fang Yiai followed Li Chengqian to his study.
After driving away the waiting people, the two of them drank tea quietly under the candlelight.
After being silent for a while, Li Chengqian opened his mouth to speak. He first asked about Empress Changsun's condition. Hearing Fang Yiai say that it was not a big problem and that she would just rest for a while. Li Chengqian's heart quietly relaxed a little.
"Did you know that when someone spread the rumor that day, you asked Fangzaki to send a letter to my uncle, and my uncle delivered the news to the palace that night. Both my father and I knew about the rumor. My father also ordered Li Anyang to strictly
In charge of every part of the palace, try to prevent rumors from entering the palace and reaching the ears of the queen. Why do rumors still reach the ears of the queen?" Under the candlelight, Li Chengqian's face was dark and gloomy, and he could not clearly see the expression on his head.
.
"There is an old saying, I wonder if the prince has heard of it. Folk sayings often say that only a person can commit a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days." Fang Yiai played with the tea cup in his hand and replied, "Even if it is a precaution,
No matter how good you are, there will always be omissions and there will always be times when you are tired. If you are a little negligent, someone with good intentions will naturally take advantage of the opportunity and make it difficult for people to guard against it."
"Who can actually reach into the palace with their hands!" Li Chengqian whispered, the sharp tone in his tone showing his anger and dissatisfaction.
"Since someone was able to enter the palace and assassinate the emperor last time, why can't someone spread rumors to the palace?" Fang Yiai asked rhetorically.
"I don't mind if they spread rumors and slander me, but they use messages to hurt my mother! I can't tolerate it!" Li Chengqian's face looked a little ferocious.
"What did Master Changsun say?" Fang Yiai thought for a moment and asked.
"Huh," Li Chengqian breathed out softly and said, "Uncle just wrote everything exactly in the letter and had someone give it to me." After saying that, Li Chengqian got up from the couch in front of the door and came to
In front of the desk, he leaned over and took out a thick envelope from the drawer of the desk. He handed it back to Fang Yiai and motioned to Fang Yiai to take it out and take a look.
"My uncle sent this to me in the afternoon. Take a closer look and see if it is different from what you know." Li Chengqian sat down, looked at Fang Yiai quietly, and said in a calm tone.
Fang Yiai raised his head and glanced at Li Chengqian in surprise. Li Chengqian looked straight at Fang Yiai without changing his expression, showing no intention of looking away.
Listening to Li Chengqian's tone, it seems that he doesn't believe what Changsun Wuji wrote in the letter? What is this situation? Fang Yiai suppressed his doubts in his heart, nodded, opened the envelope, and unfolded the dozen thick pieces of letter paper.
Get together under the candle and read each word carefully.
From the beginning to the end, Fang Yiai's expression did not change, because Changsun Wuji was only objectively recording the facts from beginning to end, including that Li Tai went to Chongfu Temple, Chai Lingwu killed the boy with his horse, and then Li Tai replaced him.
Everything about Chai Lingwu rescuing the siege and dispatching Jing Zhaoyi's policemen is recorded on it.
Fang Yiai had roughly guessed what Li Chengqian had said before and why he said it. She felt that Changsun Wuji had deliberately recorded Li Tai in this way, and suspected that Changsun Wuji was trying to sow discord between the two brothers.
At the same time, Fang Yiai couldn't help but feel happy. Fortunately, she hadn't figured out how to tell Li Chengqian about this matter. Changsun Wuji recorded such an objective record, and Li Chengqian was even suspicious of him. He was still his uncle, let alone
Is it yourself?
If this matter had come from my own mouth first, thinking about Li Chengqian's judgment about the gentleman's benevolence, knowledge, and courage in the training room, I am afraid that I would have been classified as one of the villains in his heart, and he would have directly alienated him.
Bar?
Seeing that Fang Yiai's expression had not changed at all from the beginning to the end, Li Chengqian couldn't help but have a look of disappointment and disbelief in his eyes. Could it be that his uncle did not deliberately smear the fourth brother because of his disrespect?
, just like before, objectively stating the facts? Is it possible that the fourth brother is really involved in this matter?
Facing Fang Yiai's open eyes, Li Chengqian felt agitated for no reason and avoided Fang Yiai's direct gaze.
Recalling that Fang Yiai had asked for leave from him before, saying that he and Mrs. Fang would go to Chongfu Temple to offer incense on the first day of July, Li Chengqian's eyes suddenly lit up, he turned around and asked Fang Yiai, "Are you going to Chongfu Temple that day?"
, but who else did you see?"
"Who else?" Fang Yiai was startled, then thought for a moment and said, "Because my mother went to offer incense that day and had made an appointment with Mrs. Yan in advance. In addition, today my sister-in-law also left Beijing to take office with her elder brother, so it was also
I made an appointment with Senior Sister Yan to go with me so that we can say goodbye."
"Yan Lide's legitimate daughter?" Li Chengqian said as he was thinking about something.
"Yes, Senior Sister Yan got separated from Bi Mi because of the scenery of the temple. I led people to search but failed. I heard that His Highness the King of Wei accidentally met Senior Sister Yan in the temple, and then Senior Sister Yan was safe.
He sent it back." Fang Yiai said, "However, I also heard that he has not met His Highness the King of Wei."
"If you and your fourth brother meet face to face, I'm afraid the two of you will start fighting again." Li Chengqian insulted Fang Yiai in a very shameless manner.
Fang Yiai rubbed her nose in embarrassment, but didn't say anything in reply. After all, no one dared to predict such a situation when she and Li Tai would meet together, especially when Li Shimin was not present, even if her father's roommate
In front of Xuan Ling, Li Tai might not be willing to give him face when he was upset, let alone only women and children.
There was silence in the study for a while, and then Li Chengqian said, "Do you think the fourth brother went to Chongfu Temple because of Yan Lide's daughter? I have heard some Changle sisters say that the Yan family's daughter is talented.
And he is also gentle. It sounds like he is a good match for his fourth brother, who is also eager to learn, and his knowledge has been praised by many people." There was a touch of hope in his tone, and he looked towards me with bright eyes.
Fang Yiai.
Fang Yiai could understand the meaning and emotion in Li Chengqian's words. If Li Tai went to Chongfu Temple just because of Yan Wanru, Li Tai and his party would have created a beautiful story about a talented man and a beautiful woman in Shilin.
And Li Tai can also be removed from the rumors of slandering the prince, and Li Chengqian can maintain the weak brotherhood between his brothers as before.
It was one thing to understand Li Chengqian's mood, but what the facts were, Fang Yiai did not dare to draw conclusions easily. She shook her head without thinking and said, "The prince is making things difficult for me. Do I have roundworms in the stomach of His Majesty the King of Wei? How can I
Do you know why His Royal Highness the King of Wei went to Chongfu Temple in casual clothes?"
Li Chengqian's eyes darkened and he pursed his lips without saying anything.
"I remember that I heard from Zhike Monk at that time that His Highness King Wei claimed that he was going to offer incense, but no one saw His Highness going to the main hall to offer incense." Fang Yiai thought for a moment and added softly.
Li Chengqian frowned, his eyelids slowly lowered, covering his dim eyes, and his white fingers kept spinning the tea cup in his hand.
Alas! Sighing inwardly, Fang Yiai opened his mouth to suggest, "Master Changsun is just objectively recording the facts, and I never saw His Highness King Wei in person that day, so it's hard for both of us to say anything about King Wei.
His Highness came to Chongfu Temple incognito, what on earth is going on? However,"
"But what?" Li Chengqian suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Fang Yiai with a shining light, and asked in a fluctuating tone, holding the tea cup tightly with one hand.
"I heard that Qian Lun, the chief steward of the Wei Palace, followed him out of the palace. Manager Qian was a pretty good person in the palace before, and there should be many acquaintances of him in the palace. The prince might as well ask someone to talk to Qian Lun.
If you ask, you might be able to know why His Royal Highness the King of Wei went to Chongfu Temple that day." Looking at Li Chengqian's expression, Fang Yiai still made a suggestion that he didn't want to say.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!" Li Chengqian said with a happy face. At that moment, he put down the tea cup in his hand, and without waiting for Fang Yiai's reaction, he loudly called Li Qing who was waiting outside the door to come in and gave instructions.
He went to find someone who had a good relationship with Qian Lun, and planned to go to Qian Lun tomorrow to find out why Li Tai went to Chongfu Temple.
Li Qing glanced at Fang Yiai, who had a helpless face, and agreed to go out.
Fang Yiai looked at Li Chengqian's face that had regained its color, and felt very complicated. Fang Yiai felt gratified and delighted that Li Chengqian cared so much about brotherhood, but as a prince, he wanted to believe in himself so blindly.
Even when the siblings learned that they were plotting to harm him, they wanted to escape the possibility and tried every possible means to find excuses for each other. Fang Yiai was very afraid, fearing that Li Chengqian would really fall into this trap.
It's a big, big fall, I'm afraid he will be unable to recover from it!
However, looking at Li Chengqian's rare emotion, some words were twirling on his lips, but he still couldn't bear to say them out.
It seems that to remind Li Chengqian, he has to go to Changsun Wuji and ask him to find the old foxes who teach in the East Palace to worry about it. He can just add fuel to the fire in a timely manner. After all, with his own identity and relationship with Li Tai,
No matter what, it is not suitable for people who make loud reminders.
That night, Fang Yiai was sleepless again in the East Palace without any surprise. She could only sit cross-legged on the bed and adjust her breathing to cope with the long night. However, her legs were crossed and her eyes were closed, but her heart was still there no matter what.
I can't calm down either.
Opening her eyes, Fang Yiai then thought that she hadn't seen Mr. Hu in the past few days, and when he went to the palace to meet Li Shimin these few times, the cold-faced Zhao Yi, who had been following Li Shimin like a shadow, seemed to have
