Chapter 68
After leaving the General's Mansion, Aning looked at no one around. When he turned around, he rushed into the sedan chair like a clever cat. The sedan chair was very spacious, and Gao Lishi could still have a large space in his seat. Aning sat down next to him without any trouble.
Gao Lishi touched her head lovingly, then sighed: "Gao Xianzhi is pretty good, but unfortunately she is obsessed with her deceased wife. I think it's better to forget it!"
Aning shook his head: "It is precisely because he has a deep relationship with his deceased wife that I look at him higher. If he could easily forget his childhood sweetheart, how could he be careful with others?"
Gao Lishi nodded: "It's right. So should Ah Weng help you talk to His Majesty and ask him to give you a marriage and drive the ducks to the shelves first?"
"No, no, no." Ah Weng waved his hand: "Don't! The melon that is forced is not sweet!" But she thought about it and continued: "But Ah Weng, you should give him a few more good things. Didn't he want to transfer back to Beijing? You can help with the operation!"
Gao Lishi was very surprised: "How do you know he wants to be transferred back to Beijing?"
"I'm not stupid! He has been asking you about the preferences of many powerful ministers, including Li Xiang. He is not trying to make some decisions and try to be transferred back to Beijing, but what do you want to do?" Anning's tone was a little dissatisfied, protesting against Gao Lishi's contempt for him.
"You can hear this? He's so cute!" Gao Lishi rubbed her head with admiration.
Aning snorted: "What's this? I still see that Gao Xianzhi knows very little about the situation in the capital. Although the people he inquired about are all powerful people, some of them are mortal enemies of each other. If he just cursed with each other without hesitation, it would not only be useless, but would also offend many people!"
"You're still panting when you say you're fat!" Gao Lishi rubbed her head hard again before retracting his hand. Aning was still a little worried and reminded again: "Aweng, don't forget about Gao Xianzhi!"
"Don't worry!" Gao Liss nodded at the place.
Looking at his expression, Aning seemed to want to give some instructions, but opened her mouth and took the words back. She picked up the curtain of the sedan chair and looked out, then turned her head to Gao Lishi and said, "Ahon, I'll go home from here. I'll go to your house to see you if I have time!"
Gao Lishi nodded: "Okay, be careful on the road!"
Aning waved his hand: "Don't worry about a few steps! I'm leaving!" Before she finished speaking, she jumped out of the sedan and disappeared into the alley at the end of the street in a blink of an eye.
The sedan chairmen seemed to be accustomed to this situation, and they still carried the sedan chair forward steadily without even blinking their eyes.
After walking around the alley for a few times, Aning arrived at the corner gate of the Chronopa. She looked at the corner of the Chronopa. She immediately trotted to the front of the door, grabbed the brass door knocker and knocked five times in a row.
As soon as he moved his hand away from the door knocker, the two doors were pulled open from the inside. The maid with an anxious look stuck her head out of the door, pulled Aning into the door, and hurriedly closed the door.
"Princess, you've come back too late! You don't know! This time, Princess Yanguang showed up on your departure from the palace! She was clamoring to tell Your Highness, but I finally stopped her." As she said, the maid patted her chest with her hands, looking scared.
"Oh! This little guy is quite clever!" Aning said indifferently.
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud shout rang out from the side: "Li Mengning! You sneaked out of the palace again and dared to wear a man's look. I must tell my father!"
Aning snorted, looked at the little girl standing in front of him with a playful face, bent down and pinched her face: "Young, young, I'm not too old and I'm not very careful! Go and sue! But think clearly, once you sue me, your father will scold me at most, your mother will punish you for being too polite!"
Princess Yanbao pouted, tears rolling in her eyes: "Why? Why don't you be punished for anything you do? Why can you leave the palace frequently? Why can you practice martial arts openly?"
Seeing her cute look that she was holding back her cute look, Aning couldn't help but reach out to scratch her nose: "Little one! Can you compare me? I've died since I was a child, and my husband died last month. When will you marry and die before you die? Let's compete with me for whom! Remember, if you want to get something, you have to exchange for something else!"
After saying that, Aning reached out to pat Yanbao's shoulder and then walked straight to the depths of the bluestone path.
Aning's residence was near this corner gate, and it didn't take long to arrive. She took off the servant's clothes, changed into a light pink dress, and took a picture of "The Three Kingdoms" from the bookshelf, lay on the rattan chair in the living room, and snatched the snacks and ate them while flipping through the books in her hand.
Aning's mother passed away very early, but she was already very popular with Prince Li Heng. Because compared to her well-behaved brothers and sisters, Aning is much more lively and cute, and he is very good at grasping the position and has never done anything really out of the ordinary.
In addition, she has outstanding appearance, even among the royal nobles, she can stand out. So not only the prince likes him, but even Emperor Li Longji also looks at her differently.
Therefore, when she was fifteen years old, Li Longji personally selected Zheng Xun from the Zheng family in Xingyang to be her husband.
The Zheng family in Xingyang has been a prominent family since the Han Dynasty. It is collectively called the "Five Family Seven Family" with the other six families. These seven major families are truly nobles accumulated over hundreds of years. The culture accumulated over such a long period of time cannot be replaced by any wealth or power. Even the Li Tang royal family is like a thrifty family compared to them.
Zheng Xun is the most outstanding young man in the Zheng family's generation. He is both dignified and civil and military. Since he was eighteen years old, there have been countless famous families who come to ask for marriage. Naturally, they were all rejected by Zheng Xun.
However, what is impressed is that no one in these rejected families said that Zheng Xun was not good, and his evaluation of him was higher than before he was rejected.
His marriage with Aning was personally issued by the emperor. However, before giving the marriage, the emperor sent someone to privately explore Zheng Xun's words. Zheng Xun did not refuse immediately, but made a very unruly request. He asked him to spend one day alone with Aning, from sunrise to sunset.
After hearing the news, the emperor thought of giving up. But after Aning found out about this, he came to the emperor and expressed his willingness to accept Zheng Xun's request.
On that morning, Aning came to Zhuque Gate as agreed and saw Zheng Xun wearing a blue shirt. Zheng Xun smiled at her, then waved his hand and threw a rein to her.
They each rode a horse, and they walked through Xicheng, exited Chang'an City from Kaiyuanmen, and then crossed the Wei River all the way north and arrived at the ancient city of Xianyang.
In Xianyang City, the two of them walked through the streets and alleys with their horses, chatting casually. After that day, Aning forgot what they had talked about, and only remembered that she smiled many times that day.
At noon, Zheng Xun took her to a very inconspicuous shop and had a meal of Guokui. Aning had never eaten such rough food before, but she thought it was delicious.
After lunch, Zheng Xun bought two pairs of bows and arrows, some ropes, net bags and other utensils on the street. Then he took Aning to the hunting ground in the north of the city to hunt. They found many wild animals here, but they just chased the little animals and did not hunt them seriously. It was not until the sun was west that the two of them took action together and hunted a mountain pig together.
So dinner became a roasted boar.
Finally, the two dragged the remaining pigs back to Xianyang with horses, and sold the pork and bows at will at a discount, and then returned to Chang'an with light and simple travel.
The moment the two arrived in front of the Suzaku Gate, the last light of the sun disappeared.
The next day, Zheng Xun submitted his marriage letter and proposed to Aning.
It is a rare joy for the royal family to get married to the Zheng family in Xingyang. On the day of marriage, the whole city of Chang'an was in full swing. According to the old people, since the first time Emperor Gaozong's beloved daughter Princess Taiping got married, she had never seen such a grand scene again. But that night, Zheng Xun died.
Aning suspected that something was wrong with this matter at that time. Although she only had one day to really know Zheng Xun, she also felt that she knew about what kind of person Zheng Xun was. She was a little unbelievable. The Zheng Xun she knew would drink without hesitation for the sake of face and drink herself to death.
She thought someone was poisoning.
But even the imperial physician, who had the most skilled medical skills, did not show any signs of poisoning in Zheng Xun's body.
As a result, Aning had to give up. The happy event turned into a funeral in the blink of an eye. After attending Zheng Xun's funeral, Aning was taken back to the erotic palace.
The royal children naturally do not have the usual rules of mourning for three years. As soon as Aning returned to the erotic palace, the prince began to arrange another family for her. He still liked Aning very much, but he also felt that it was not auspicious to die her husband, so it would be better to marry her earlier.
Aning still doesn't want to get married. Speaking of which, she didn't know Zheng Xun for long, let alone anything. But she really wanted to stay for three years for Zheng Xun. Although the two had only been together for one day, Aning liked the feeling of being with Zheng Xun, so she really wanted to do something for him.
So, in order to avoid being forced to marry by the prince, she offered to find her husband by herself. She also found Gao Lishi to match her with her.
All this is naturally pretending. Whenever a new candidate appears, Aning is very excited, but after a few days, he starts to find out the other party’s faults, so it is always left alone.
In more than a month, the prince and Gao Lishi had selected five or six young heroes for Aning, but without exception, they all ended in failure.
