Chapter 98 took her to see the prosperity of the world

At dusk, the sky was overcast, and the cold wind mixed with snow particles hit the window lattice of Princess Pingyang's mansion, making a crackling sound. Suddenly, Li Xiuning pushed open the window and let the cold wind blow on her face.

If you look closely, you will find that her eyes are full of complaint, at this time Li Xiuning is wearing a white skirt, although she is not powdered, there are many more girls who are soft, and she rarely sees the heroic spirit of wearing armor.

Li Xiuning was blown by the cold wind, and his face was also frozen pink by the cold wind like a knife, as if he had been smeared with thick rouge. Cui'er persuaded the side: "Princess, let's go back, in case it freezes......"

Without waiting for Cui'er to finish speaking, Li Xiuning said angrily: "It's okay to freeze to death, anyway, no one is distressed!" ”

"Oh yo, who made our Princess Pingyang angry." At this moment, He Yue'er came from outside, she was wearing a black cloak, only her eyebrows and eyes were exposed, but at this time, He Yue'er's eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with hoarfrost.

Li Xiuning looked at He Yue'er's arrival, and said extremely depressed: "What's so good about her, what am I not as good as her?" Why did he do this to me? If you are interested in me, why do you want to ...... with her?"

Although Li Xiuning didn't mention his name, whether it was He Yue'er or Cui'er, they all understood who Li Xiuning was talking about.

Speaking of which, Li Xiuning couldn't go on anymore. Very Chen Yingzhen found a daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe, or a daughter of the Wang family of Taiyuan, even if it was a daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, Li Xiuning would not be so angry.

Because Li Xiuning understands that because she has led the troops to fight for a long time, her body is less feminine. However, it also has to be compared with whom, if it is compared with Li Daozhen's wild girl, Li Xiuning thinks that she is still a lady who is beyond reproach. But on the contrary, Chen Ying actually likes her.

He Yue'er took off the cloak covering her body and handed it to Cui'er, who quickly took it and prepared ginger tea for He Yue'er. Looking at Cui'er's back, He Yue'er sneered and said, "Is Her Royal Highness the princess a taste?" ”

"No, no!" Li Xiuning said stubbornly: "I just can't figure it out, how can he follow her, it's really hard to understand?" Do you say ......"

He Yue'er said: "Her Royal Highness the princess would never guess how the county lord of Baicheng became pregnant with Chen Langjun's child. ”

Li Xiuning thought about it secretly strange, in terms of appearance, Li Daozhen is not super first-class, it can only be said that it is generally upward. Even said that Lan'er in Chen Ying's mansion is petite and lovely than her, in terms of temperament, Gao Wenjin in Chen Ying's mansion is no worse than Li Daozhen at all, but whether it is Lan'er or Gao Wenjin, Chen Ying has never touched them. Li Xiuning looked at He Yue'er suspiciously: "Even you know about this?" ”

He Yue'er nodded and said: "The county lord of Baicheng originally did not have a good impression of Chen Langjun, and when she learned that His Majesty intended to marry her to Chen Langjun as his wife, she did not dare to disobey Your Majesty, and if she did not obey the order, she carried a Mo knife and killed the Chen ......Mansion."

"Ah......" When Li Xiuning heard the news, he couldn't help but exclaim knowing the result. Martial arts, I'm afraid it's the only place where the county lord of Baicheng can be stronger than her. Li Xiuning's kung fu can only be regarded as good. Originally, she didn't have any intention of surprising the frontier, just to strengthen her body, so Li Xiuning's kung fu was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, and it was also very limited.

If Li Xiuning's identity is aside, any three soldiers can easily defeat her, and five soldiers can do it if they want to capture her alive. But Li Daozhen is different, she is not only very talented, she has studied hard since she was a child, and her kung fu is far stronger than that of ordinary generals, even her biological brother Li Daozong, Li Daozong's skills are outstanding among the children of the Li Tang royal family, only slightly weaker than her fourth brother Li Yuanji, and Li Shimin is not equal, but Li Daozong can hold on to more than ten rounds under Li Daozhen's Mo knife at most.

He Yue'er told Li Xiuning about the past of Li Daozhen and Chen Ying, and when Li Xiuning heard that Li Daozhen was in love with Chen Ying, Chen Ying didn't know at all.

Li Daozhen was getting thinner and thinner because of unrequited love, and Li Xiuning even sympathized with Li Daozhen, but when Li Xiuning heard that Li Daozhen had no regrets in her life, she actually joined forces with her brother to deceive Chen Ying and give him an aphrodisiac, Li Xiuning was so angry that her chest rose and fell: "She...... She...... How could she be so shameless? ”

He Yue'er said: "Her Royal Highness the princess actually doesn't have to be sad, what should be sad now is the county lord of Baicheng, she is pregnant with a child alone, and it will depend on whether Her Royal Highness is willing to leave this child to her in the future, otherwise she will have nothing." ”

He Yue'er said well, the ancient marriage law actually protects the absolute power of the wife, and a man must first obtain the consent of his wife and wife to take a concubine, otherwise he will not be allowed to enter the door, and he will only be kept outside as an outer house. The child born does not even have the treatment of a concubine, and can only be regarded as an illegitimate child. If the wife is willing, she can also accept the outer room as a concubine, of course, if she is unwilling, as long as the child does not want an adult, Li Daozhen has no way to refuse at all.

At this moment, Cui'er said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, General Chen's mansion has sent another food box, four dishes and two soups, isn't it ......?"

Since Li Xiuning left, Chen Ying wanted to please Li Xiuning and make Li Xiuning no longer angry, but Li Xiuning didn't give him a chance to explain at all, so Chen Ying had to order the kitchen, make exquisite dishes, and constantly send three meals a day to Princess Pingyang's mansion.

Li Xiuning originally knew what was going on between Li Daozhen and Chen Ying, and thought that Chen Ying was carrying her behind her back and had a personal relationship with Li Daozhen, so after some fornication, the beads were secretly knotted. At that time, Li Xiuning was not willing to accept Chen Ying's kindness at all, as long as it was a dish sent by Chen Ying, Li Xiuning asked Cui'er to take it to the street and give it to the beggars.

Li Xiuning understood that Li Daozhen was taking advantage of Chen Ying's sympathy and borrowing seeds through aphrodisiacs, so Li Xiuning was not so angry at this time: "Bring it here, this palace is also hungry!" ”

Cui'er was overjoyed when she heard this.

The lacquer box of Chen's house is very large, and it is made of catkins cotton to make a layer of warmth, even in the cold winter season, when the dishes in this food box are served, they are still steaming.

A plate of braised pork, a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, a plate of glutinous rice lotus root, and a plate of shredded pork in fine sauce.

Underneath, however, is a one-foot-square sandalwood box. Cui'er thought it was a soup cup inside, but when Cui'er opened it, it was a wooden box with a small wooden figure standing inside. The little man was about an inch and two minutes tall, wearing a palace headdress and a small but delicate turquoise skirt, and although the little wooden figure was small, his nose, eyes, and eyebrows were all lifelike.

Li Xiuning had never seen such a thing, and asked in surprise, "What is this?" ”

He Yue'er shook her head: "I don't know! ”

Li Xiuning looked at Cui'er, sighed and said, "Forget it, you don't know if you ask!" ”

Cui'er suddenly exclaimed, "There's a note here, princess!" ”

A note the size of a palm's hand appeared in front of Li Xiuning's eyes, and Li Xiuning read: "Follow the direction of the arrow, rotate four and a half times!" ”

Li Xiuning picked up the wooden box and found that there was a word handle at the bottom of the wooden box, and there was an arrow pattern similar to the Taiji diagram painted around it, He Yue'er said: "Let the maid come!" ”

Li Xiuning shook his head, suddenly twisted the handle hard, and rotated it four and a half times in the direction of the arrow according to the words written on the note.

At this time, the unexpected happened.

The little wooden man who was originally standing still in the wooden box actually danced along the wooden box, and the wooden box made a crisp and pleasant sound of ding ding dong, which was very wonderful.

Li Xiuning's eyes widened, and he looked at the wooden box in disbelief: "What kind of mechanism is this?" ”

In fact, this is just the simplest music box in later generations, and it is recorded in the ancient "Three Character Classic": "Soil leather, wood, stone and gold." Silk and bamboo are eight sounds. ”

In fact, the eight tones are actually the collective name of all ancient musical instruments, that is, the eight categories of páo, earth, leather, wood, stone, gold, silk, and bamboo. Among the ancient musical instruments, the sheng and zhu belong to the genus; Xun and other belong to the soil type; Drums and other drums belong to leather; Wooden fish and other woody species; Chime and other stones are kinds; Bells, bells, etc. belong to the gold category; Qin, Se and other silk species; Pipes, flutes, flutes, etc. belong to bamboo. It is not difficult to see that the raw materials used in the production of musical instruments, such as clay, leather, wood, stone, metal, silk and bamboo, refer to the raw materials used in the production of musical instruments. These eight ingredients can be said to make all musical instruments.

Of course, Chen Ying asked craftsmen to use spring steel to make clocksprings and create the world's first music box, just to please Li Xiuning.

Although Chen Ying doesn't know much about women and how to coax women to be happy, he remembers a very famous saying in later generations: "If she is not deeply involved in the world, take her to see the prosperity of the world;

If her heart is vicissitudes, take her on the merry-go-round.

If he is in love, you will loosen your clothes and untie them;

If he reads innumerable people, you will be on the stove by the stove.

Chen Ying knew that Li Xiuning had seen all the prosperity of the world, although she was not in the vicissitudes of life, but Li Xiuning did not say that she was riding a merry-go-round, she was a real horse, and she had ridden countless times. Think about it. Chen Ying decided to create a music box.

When the music box was in later generations, Chen Ying once bought one, but when he gave it to others, they didn't want it, so in anger, Chen Ying dropped the music box, and after the fall, he was distressed, hundreds of oceans. To this end, Chen Ying learned to assemble it himself. In that way, the music box with a broken shell was always placed at the head of Chen Ying's bed.

At this time, Chen Ying had no choice but to assemble a music box according to his memory.

Obviously, Chen Ying's strategy succeeded.

Li Xiuning, He Yue'er, and Cui'er sat in front of the music box, carefully observing the little wooden figure dancing Hu Shi and listening to the sound of the music box.

Li Xiuning listened to the melodious music, and couldn't help but have memories of the past in his head. The simple notes of the eight notes, as if with infinite magic, made Li Xiuning fall into infinite reverie and reminiscence of time.

At the end of the song, Li Xiuning couldn't wait to wind up, so that the music box once again made a pleasant sound, and he was happy from then on.
