Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 126 The real reason for friendliness

Li Xin followed with a smile, with some subtle doubts on his face. He could feel that Chen Youlan's second brother on the opposite side seemed to have a good impression of him, but he had never met him before, so he couldn't figure out where this good feeling came from.

Fortunately, Chen Xinheng was very calm. He smiled and said, "Do you think it's strange why I treat you so well?"

Li Xin touched his nose, nodded and said, "It's a little bit."

Although he and Chen Youlan got along very well, there was no way to conceal the fact that his marriage with Chen Youlan itself was a by-product of a political game, and it was Li Shimin who considered Li Xin's feelings as much as possible in order to achieve his goal. The optimal solution made under the premise of the premise is indeed, it must be admitted, it is indeed excellent, anyway, Li Xin has no dissatisfaction with this.

But Chen Youlan's relatives should still be a little upset, right?

The jewel in the palm of my family was given to the most famous dude in Quan Chang'an by an imperial decree by His Majesty Li Er, that is, Li Xin, the king of Chu. If Li Xin was changed to Chen Youlan's brothers, I am afraid that he would have found a chance to take this what The bullshit king of Chu was put into a sack and beat to death with a stick. Even if he didn't beat him to death, he had to be forced to find a way to cancel the engagement.

In fact, on the way to the Chen Mansion just now, Li Xin had been vaguely worried that he might suffer a lot of inexplicable blank stares and very unfriendly attitudes in the Chen Mansion, but he didn't say it out loud. He never imagined that the first immediate family member of Chen Youlan he met after he sat down in the Chen Mansion would be so friendly and easy to get along with.

There is a feeling of surprise.

Chen Xinheng shook his head with a smile, and said, "Why does King Chu think that I should treat you badly?"

Li Xin smiled without saying a word.

The reason is not obvious, and it seems that there is no need to explain it.

Chen Xinheng said: "The king of Chu feels that he is notorious, and I think you are not worthy of You Lan, so I have malice towards you, right?"

Li Xin didn't answer, Quan regarded it as the default.

Chen Xinheng smiled and said: "The King of Chu's understanding of himself is a bit biased. Indeed, at the beginning I had the same opinion as everyone else, thinking that you are not worthy of Youlan. To be offensive, although you are so expensive King Chu, but in my family's opinion, this status is not worthy of special respect. In addition, you have always had the reputation of being a dandy, so it should be considered human nature for us to think so. The King of Chu should not be angry because of this, right? ?”

Li Xin smiled wryly and shook his head, "No."

Chen Xinheng nodded appreciatively, and said, "King Chu really has a broad mind."

Li Xin reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, and squeezed out a smile as a response—this shouldn’t be called broad-mindedness, after all, most of the bad deeds of the Chu king Li Xin that were passed down in Chang’an in the past are objective facts. You can't deny it with a shy face, right? That's not a man's style. What's more, those are all well-known bad deeds, even if you don't admit it, it's useless, it's better to nod.

Chen Xinheng sighed, and said: "You Lan has had the best relationship with me since she was a child, and she is willing to tell me anything, and I love her very much. So when I heard the news of the imperial decree granting marriage that day, when I thought about her going to marry in the future I'm sorry to give you such a waste, I didn't know you very well at that time, obviously I misunderstood you, anyway, I just wanted to say that I was really angry at the time, and almost found a way to find someone to assassinate you."

Li Xin blinked and didn't know how to answer for a moment. After all, the young man on the opposite side was talking about assassinating himself, so I couldn't say "it doesn't matter" to him, could I?

Of course, it is impossible for Li Xin to really think that Chen Xinheng has the ability to send someone to assassinate him. In fact, when Chen Xinheng uttered the word "assassination", Wang Gui didn't even lift his eyelids, and stood quietly behind Li Xin. What a powerful self-confidence this is, just as it is impossible for an elephant to heed an ant's declaration that it will eat it.

It can be said that as long as Wang Gui stands beside Li Xin, there are only a handful of people in the world who can successfully assassinate Li Xin. Not to mention if it is in Chu Palace, or if there is a team of hidden guards. Under that premise, the probability of Li Xin being assassinated is zero, not "almost zero" or "close to zero", but "zero", the real "zero" without any modification.

Chen Xinheng also saw the embarrassment that flashed across Li Xin's face, and said with a smile: "Just kidding, just kidding. Anyway, I hated you very much at that time. But later on, Youlan also went out with you on Qixi Festival Did you play?"

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and said, "How do you know?"

Chen Xinheng said: "After she came back that day, she wrote a poem hundreds of times in the room, do you know what it is?"

Of course Li Xin guessed it right away, his mood was slightly turbulent, and he looked a little excited.

Chen Xinheng said: "It seems that the king of Chu has already guessed it. It is the poem 'Smoke in the sky, the moon is light in the sky, and the silver and Han autumn period is eternally the same'. Just looking at this poem, I know that this is definitely not Youlan's handwriting. She has Talented, but I don’t have this level of talent, and I definitely can’t write such poems. So I secretly inquired about it and found out unexpectedly that it was written by Li Xin, the king of Chu.”

Li Xin rubbed his nose and said, "Brother Chen laughed."

Chen Xinheng shook his head and said, "How can I have the right to laugh at you? But to be honest, I doubted at first whether you had someone write this poem for you, but later I heard that my father read your poem " After the "Teacher's Talk", I have no doubts anymore. It is indeed a masterpiece that can be handed down through the ages. Although I have to say that in terms of your status as the king of Chu, writing this "Teacher's Talk" is still a bit exaggerated. "

Li Xin nodded with a wry smile, "I know."

Indeed, "Teacher's Talk" is a persuasive article criticizing the current disadvantages, calling for the people of the world to restore the old tradition of worshiping teachers and eager to learn. Just imagine, if you want to say such a thing, the person who speaks must be a scholar with a certain degree of knowledge, a scholar with a certain status in the academic world, right? Li Xin obviously did not meet this requirement. Therefore, when he took out the article "Teacher's Talk", it was like a primary school student wrote a "Advanced Mathematics Study Guide".

It was precisely because of this that Chen Xinheng said that Li Xin was a little trusting.

But Li Xin was too angry at that time, and didn't think about it that much. After all, it was his disciple who was bullied because of his apprenticeship. How could he, as a master, calm down?

Chen Xinheng paused for a while, staring at Li Xin's face, and said: "I admit that I have misunderstood the King of Chu before. The King of Chu is not some ignorant dude, but a talented young talent. You deserve it." Youlan’s at my house. But.”

Li Xin's heart lifted. When the first half was all about praising him, he really didn't want to hear a "but" at this critical point.

"However, this is not the reason why I am so friendly to you. There is only one reason why I am so friendly to you." Chen Xinheng said, "Because You Lan likes you and appreciates you. That's all, nothing else."
