Chapter 72 Battlefield Four-piece Set
"Why don't you want to go? You have rejected the second brother's recruitment before. Don't you just think that the eldest brother is more worthy of assistance?" Princess Pingyang asked in surprise when she heard that Li Xiu didn't want to go to the prince's banquet.
"Uh? Princess, have you forgotten that I don't want to be an official at all?" Li Xiu asked back for a moment. He remembered that he had mentioned this issue with Princess Pingyang more than once. She should be very clear about it?
"I know you don't like being an official, but with your talent, both your elder brother and your second brother will recruit you with all your strength. Since you rejected your second brother before, I think you should be more optimistic about your elder brother, right?" Princess Pingyang also said softly at the moment, but when she talked about the battle between her two brothers, a look of gloomy appeared on her jade-like face.
"To be honest, it's the King of Qin or the Prince, in my eyes, no matter what they want to fight for, I have no interest in paying attention to it. My attitude towards this matter should be very clear. Didn't he tell you?" Li Xiu said at the end and suddenly thought of Mr. Ma and asked strangely.
"Uncle Ma never tells me about the dispute between the eldest brother and the second brother, and I don't want to pay attention to this matter. I will never interfere even if the generals in the Detachment of Women's Army choose!" Princess Pingyang said with a more gloomy face.
Seeing Princess Pingyang's sad expression, Li Xiu also sighed in his heart. Whether it is the prince or the king of Qin, they are all the brothers of Princess Pingyang. It can be said that the most difficult thing for them to fight was Princess Pingyang, so she could only choose this most negative method and ignore this matter, because she knew that no matter how hard she tried, she could not reconcile the conflict between the prince and the king of Qin, unless one of them voluntarily withdrew, but this was simply impossible.
"Princess, don't worry too much about this matter. As the saying goes, everyone has their own destiny. Sometimes human power cannot be saved. The prince and the king of Qin are both among the people. Let's leave their affairs to them to solve. If it really doesn't work, your Majesty is there. I guess they won't cause any big trouble!"
When Li Xiu said these words, he felt a little guilty. Historically, the description of the Xuanwu Gate Incident was very simple, but there was a smell of blood between the lines. Especially the fate of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's family members, it can be said that they were to eliminate the roots. All their sons, no matter how big or small, were killed. That was the real human tragedy. Unfortunately, people in later generations only noticed that Li Shimin killed two brothers, but no one paid attention to the nephews who were killed by him.
"Thank you for your understanding of Captain Li." Princess Pingyang bowed slightly at this time. Although she knew that Li Xiu was comforting her, with the current situation, she could only think about it on the better side.
"By the way, I'm just talking about me. Captain Li is here today. Do you want me to help you turn off this banquet?" Princess Pingyang suddenly thought of Li Xiu's purpose at this time, and immediately stroked the hair on her forehead.
"That's true. It's really hard for me to turn off the invitation of the prince. After thinking about it, only the princess can help me!" Li Xiu bowed to Princess Pingyang at this time. He was just a little person. Although he was a little famous, he was far from comparable to those famous scholars and scholars. Therefore, turning off the invitation of the prince would only make others scold him for being ungrateful. But it would be fine if Princess Pingyang helped her. She could just find a reason to let Li Xiu stay.
Princess Pingyang heard this and thought for a moment, and finally suddenly laughed and said, "Person Li, have you ever thought about it? I can help you push it out once today, but if my brother invites you again in the future, I can't let me help you push it out every time, right?"
"This... take one step at a time!" Li Xiu said helplessly at this time. He thought that he had just solved a Li Shimin and could have been idle for a while, but he didn't expect another Li Jiancheng came. Now Li Xiu has not thought of a way to deal with it.
Hearing Li Xiu's words, Princess Pingyang suddenly showed a mysterious smile and said, "Prince Li, if you believe me, you might as well go to the eldest brother's banquet. I will make arrangements at that time so that you will no longer have to worry about the eldest brother and the second brother's affairs!"
"Uh? Really?" Li Xiu said in disbelief when he heard this. It was not that he did not believe in Princess Pingyang, but that since Princess Pingyang was unwilling to participate in the affairs of the prince and the King of Qin, why did he suddenly say that he could help him, and he would no longer have to worry about their affairs in the future?
"Of course it's true, but I don't know if Captain Li is willing to believe me?" Princess Pingyang smiled mysteriously again. If it were someone else, she might not interfere in this matter, but she didn't want Li Xiu to be troubled by this matter.
"I believe, of course I believe in the princess. Since that's the case, I will go to the prince's banquet today!" Li Xiu nodded without hesitation, but despite saying so, he was still a little confused in his heart. He believed in Princess Pingyang's character, but he was still a little suspicious of Princess Pingyang's ability. After all, what he had to face was the prince of the Tang Dynasty!
Seeing that Li Xiu believed herself without hesitation, Princess Pingyang was also very happy. She no longer discussed this topic, but continued to ask Li Xiu for advice on flowers and plants. This made Li Xiu feel a little whispered, is her affairs not as important as these flowers and plants?
However, despite this, Li Xiu patiently explained some of the flowers and plants he knew, such as the problem of water, soil and pH, which he just talked about, which is suitable for almost all plants, and there are also fermentation of rice water, pruning of plants, etc. Anyway, Li Xiu talked about everything he could, and in the end he was out of stock, so he had to turn the topic on some strange flowers and plants in later generations, such as various plants that had not been passed down from America. Princess Pingyang listened to this with relish.
It was noon that Li Xiu said goodbye and left. As a result, he arrived home. The person sent by Princess Pingyang arrived. He saw a maid leading the way, followed by several servants carrying two things and carefully putting them in the yard.
"Person Li, the princess said that last time Ma took your recliner, so she asked the craftsmen to make another one to you. In addition, the princess also said that it is not a solution for Li to sleep on the ground every day, so she asked the craftsmen to work overnight and deliver the bed together!" The maid in front of her smiled and said to Li Xiu.
"Uh?" Li Xiu looked at the exquisite bed and lounge chair behind the maid. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time. It was normal to send a lounge chair. This thing was originally designed by him, but the princess gave her a bed, which was a bit new. Maybe it would be misunderstood if it was spread. After all, the bed was too personal. No wonder she didn't tell her in person just now, but just waited for him to leave and asked the maid to deliver it.
"Thank you... Thank you, Princess!" Li Xiu said hurriedly after reacting.
The maid Li Xiu, who came today, often saw her next to Princess Pingyang, but she didn't know what she called her. She was about to ask her and it would be convenient to say hello when she met in the future. However, she didn't expect that Yuechan and Liu'er would come up happily, and each of them hugged the maid with one arm and said, "Sister Helmet, the princess is really thoughtful. My master has been sleeping on the ground for many days, and now it's fine!"
"Helmet?" Li Xiu wanted to use a high-pressure water gun to rush his ears to see if it was blocked by earwax? Although the maid was taller, her appearance was quite beautiful and her figure was even more untold. Such a beauty was called a helmet. Who gave her such a careless name?
Li Xiu had taken Yue Chan and the others to live in the Princess's Villa before. It was probably that they met at that time. The three maids were of the same age and chattered together for a long time. Finally, Yue Chan and Liu'er reluctantly sent each other away. It was not until this time that Li Xiu asked in disbelief: "Yue Chan, what did you call that maid just now?"
"Sister Helmet, you don't know, Mr. Helmet is so good..."
"Wait a minute, her name is Helmet?" Li Xiu asked again in disbelief.
"Yes, Sister Helmet said she had no name at first, but after following the princess, she was rewarded by the princess. In addition to Sister Helmet, the princess also had armor, horse lances and war horses around her. They and Sister Helmet were the four maids who were most valued by the princess, even if they were on the battlefield." Yue Chan said with a look of course. Many women in this era have no names, at most only one title, and they are usually very casual, so it is not surprising that they are called.
"The four sets of helmets, armor, horse lances, war horses, and battlefields are all in one set. The name she named the princess is really... so special!" Li Xiu's face turned red at the end, and he could only describe it as a "special". Such a fresh and refined name, Li Xiu asked himself that he would never think of it. It seems that Princess Pingyang is not a perfect woman either. For example, she has innate flaws in naming her name.
After lunch, Li Xiu slept beautifully on the bed sent by the princess. When he woke up, he found that Qi Niang had run to her bed and slept well. At that time, he did not wake her up. He got up and changed into a new dress. He did not ride a horse, but walked towards Chang'an City.
While walking, Li Xiu was planning the situations that might be encountered at the prince's banquet today and his own way of dealing with them. Although Princess Pingyang promised to help him solve this problem, Li Xiu was still a little worried, so he also tried to come up with a way to solve this problem by relying on himself. Unfortunately, after thinking about it, he was still helpless. In the end, he had to decide to take one step at the prince's banquet. Maybe he could encounter a turning point at the prince's banquet.
The prince's Eastern Palace is also part of the palace. Because it is located on the easternmost side, it is called the Eastern Palace. The title of the Eastern Palace is also from this. When Li Xiu came outside the palace gate of the Eastern Palace, he was immediately stopped by the imperial guards. Then he handed the invitation, and then he was taken into the Eastern Palace by the imperial guards.
