Chapter 109: A Painful Choice

Li Yi was about to explain, when the door was suddenly pushed open, and he saw as if he had quietly walked in.

She bent down and picked up the sachet, rubbed it gently for a while, and slowly handed it to Li Yi, and said gently: "The concubine couldn't sleep just now, and I heard that your brothers were arguing over something, so I came over to take a look." ”

"Official, the concubine heard what you just said. If the concubine can serve the officials, she is already very satisfied. ”

"Official, the concubine has also seen Princess Qingyuan twice, she is beautiful, intelligent, empathetic, and does not have the delicate spirit of a royal daughter at all."

"If we can achieve the good of Qin and Jin with the officials, we just can't ask for such a good fate, how can we refuse people thousands of miles away without reason!"

"If you can serve the princess in person, the concubine doesn't know how happy she is! Officials can't hurt people's hearts! ”

Li Yi didn't speak, but in his heart, it was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, with sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty tastes.

This is like knowing that his family background is humble, and there is no hope at all if he wants to correct himself, so he has repeatedly persuaded himself to marry a virtuous woman from a famous family as soon as possible. Only in this way may the relationship with the old man in the family be repaired.

And if she can have a good housewife, her life as a concubine will be better.

So when she knew that Princess Qingyuan had this affection for Li Yi, of course she tried her best to promote it, which was already expected by Li Yi.

But the concept of monogamy in Li Yi's mind has long been ingrained, and it is like a virtuous lady, gentle and considerate, Li Yi is very fond of her, how can he share his love for her to others!

Therefore, even if the princess is affectionate to herself, there is no reason to force herself to accept it!

Thinking of this, Li Yi shook his head and said categorically: "You don't have to say it, I have made up my mind, the princess's affection, I Li Yi absolutely can't accept it, I can't do this colt." ”

Seeing that Li Yi resolutely denied their opinions, Li Pian turned his head and stopped talking.

It was as if he suddenly knelt down in front of Li Yi and sobbed: "The official's words are wrong! A manly husband stands in the world, self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world, and there is no housewife in the family, how can it be considered a family. How can we talk about governing the country and leveling the world. ”

"Princess Qingyuan is talented and good-looking, and her conduct is good, if she is an official, it is like a great fortune to invite the sky."

"Since the princess has a heart, how can the officials be ruthless. If you refuse again, there will be a disaster of compassion, and you will put your concubine in an unkind, unjust, unvirtuous, and bad place! ”

"The concubine wept blood to tell her, and I hope that the officials have an epiphany, and they take the affairs of the family and country as the most important!"

Just like these sad words, they deeply hit Li Yi's fragile nerves.

Alas! Although he did this for the sake of Wanru, in the eyes of outsiders, he would only think that it was like stealing the position of a housewife for a long time, making him an obstacle from it, so that he was willing to risk the great disapproval of the world and commit disloyalty and unfilial piety. It's like I'm under a lot of psychological pressure!

Li Yi sighed, helped Wanru up from the ground, wiped away her tears with his hand, and said movingly: "Alas! Why do you bother? What kind of person am I, Li Yi, don't you understand? How can you force me to do something that is sorry for you. Alas! How about we take a long-term view of this matter? ”

As if seeing that Li Yi's tone was relaxed, he cried with joy: "How dare the concubine go beyond her authority and make decisions for the officials." But this day's great fate, the concubine is sincerely happy for the official, what else does the official hesitate! ”

Li Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Okay! I'll send a letter back to the princess to express my gratitude! ”

As if he was afraid that Li Yi would cheat, he hurriedly said: "There is no need for officials to write letters, the original 'Qingyu Case' you wrote is very suitable, I think you send it to the princess, she will like it very much." ”

Under the warm offensive, Li Yi had no choice but to reluctantly agree and picked up the pen casually.

In the past, the poems I made were all recited silently by myself, and copied down by the pen as if I were writing, but this time I need to do it myself.

"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.

The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was in the lamplight. ”

In an instant, Xin Qiji's eternal swan song jumped on the paper, and the dignified and gorgeous gestures and structure turned out to be the best work since he crossed over.

Li Pian couldn't help but smile when he saw him change his mind.

Hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Yi dry the ink, folded it unceremoniously, put it in his arms like a treasure, and said with a smile: "Hehe! Or my sister-in-law has a way, and it will be done in a few words. If the third brother can marry the princess, no one else can take the credit. Hehe! ”

Li Yi smiled bitterly, gently took Wanru's arm, and sent her back to the bedroom.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, he threw himself into Li Yi's arms as if he was sobbing and crying in a low voice.

Li Yi knew that although she looked full of joy on the surface, she had too much bitterness and grievances in her heart, but she couldn't vent it, so she could only confide in herself at this time.

Li Yi caressed her back and rubbed her hair, but she didn't know how to persuade her.

Although I also know that her sadness and distress will not be good for the child in the womb, I don't know how to comfort her in this situation, so let her cry happily.

I don't know how long I cried, but I just stopped sobbing and pushed Li Yi to hurry back to the study, so as not to be seen by Li Pian.

Li Yi had no choice but to comfort her a few more words, and returned to the study listlessly.

Seeing that he had only come back for so long, Li Pian knew that he must be trying to find a way to comfort the sad Wanru, so he didn't dare to stimulate him anymore.

Instead, he said without words: "Third brother, you have made such a great contribution this time, Your Majesty is very happy!" This time, even the matter of the death of His Royal Highness Wan Wang was also put in his mind, and during the court meeting, in front of the ministers, he kept praising you for your youth and achievements, and you were worthy of a great responsibility! ”

"I think some people's eyes are on fire, hehe! In private, His Majesty said to me that he would let you hone in Yunnan for a few more years, and when the third brother returned to Beijing, it would not be an ordinary reuse. ”

"Maybe one day in the future, you may be the youngest prime minister, it's hard to say. At that time, can the little brother be far behind! Ha ha! ”

Li Yi was a little uneasy, so he asked lazily: "I heard that there will be a martial arts competition at the end of the year, I don't know if you participated?" ”

As soon as Li Pian heard this, he immediately said with great interest: "Hey! How can such a thing be without me. And before I could speak, His Majesty personally ordered me to participate in this martial arts competition, and I had to enter the top ten in the ranking. Otherwise, he will kick me out of the palace and never be hired. ”

"Alas! Originally, this was also a great thing, but who knew that His Majesty had set such a high standard for me. ”

"The competition is martial arts, the competition is martial arts, why bother dancing and writing on the paper?"

"Alas! I'm not worried about this martial arts at all, ordinary people are not my opponents at all, it's just this strategy, strategy and the like, I don't read much, hehe! I'm really worried now! ”
