Chapter 246 Pei Xueqing VS Li Mingda

Actually, to be honest, the reason why Lian Qiao doesn't conform to Li Xiang's aesthetic is that she is a little too young.

LSP like Li Xiang likes older sister type the most.

Lian Qiao looks like Yukinoshita Yukino. If you take her out, you would think she is his sister.

It's not a big deal, it's not a sure thing...

But if his aunt forced it on him, the little elephant would not refuse.

Early the next morning, when Li Xiang was slurping his white porridge, he saw Li Mingda coming to the Wude Hall.

"Aunt, why are you here?" He put down the bowl.

"I can't come?" Li Mingda said with a smile in his eyes: "Or... Xiang'er doesn't welcome me as his aunt now?"

"No, no, how could that be possible." Li Xiang quickly denied: "How dare I not welcome my aunt?"

"Hmph." Li Mingda snorted, looked around and asked, "Where's Xueqing?"

"Sister hasn't gotten up yet." Li Xiang's expression looked a little strange. Of course, it was his fault that Pei Xueqing got up late.

At the age of high school students, it is normal for them to be strong in fighting ability.

"Okay, I'll wait for her here for a while." Li Mingda smiled and sat next to Li Xiang, looking up at Fubao: "Fubao, serve me a bowl too."

"Yes, Princess." Fubao responded and served Li Mingda a bowl of noodles.

Li Xiaoxiang's special boiled noodles, mixed with chrysanthemum and pork stew, taste very delicious.

This secret recipe was learned by his uncle from someone when he went to the countryside in his previous life. After it was introduced to his family, it received unanimous praise from his family members.

"It's really good." Li Mingda's brows relaxed. She liked to eat this kind of light food.

"If Aunt likes it, you can come again tomorrow." Li Xiang said with a smile: "In addition to mixing it with stewed vegetables, there is another way to eat this soup noodle. It is to fry the sesame seeds, crush them, add a little salt and mix them with noodles. It is very fragrant."

"Really?" Li Mingda became interested: "Then I will definitely come again tomorrow... What's in your hand?"

"Oh, it's garlic." Li Xiang raised his hand and showed it to Li Mingda: "One mouthful of noodles and one mouthful of garlic, I wouldn't trade it for Yang... even Zhaojun, would you like one clove, auntie?"

He originally wanted to say it was Yang Mi, but considering that Li Mingda didn't know Yang Mi, he changed it to Wang Zhaojun.

Of course, having said that, I am only giving it to Yang. If he were given Gao Yuanyuan, he would definitely change it.

"No." Li Mingda showed a look of refusal: "I don't want to eat raw garlic for nothing."

"Tsk." Li Xiang made a slurping sound and continued to eat noodles and garlic. "Come to think of it, did aunt come to Wude Hall to talk to my sister about something?"

"Can't I come if I have nothing to do?" Li Mingda asked back.

Li Xiang: …

"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Li Xiang said a series of yeses. He put down the empty bowl in his hand, picked up the handkerchief in Baoqin's hand behind him, wiped his mouth, and stood up and said, "Then I'll go first, aunt Ha. There are still things waiting for me to deal with in Jingzhao Prefecture."

"Go ahead, business is important." Li Mingda nodded.

Just when Li Xiang was about to leave, Pei Xueqing walked out of the room.

After seeing Li Mingda, Pei Xueqing smiled.

"aunt."

"No need to be polite, we are all family." Li Mingda helped Pei Xueqing up, still sighing in his heart, this generation gap is really overwhelming...

You know, she is the same age as Li Xiang, and Pei Xueqing is three years older than both of them.

However, it is normal to be older in seniority these days. After all, Prince Teng Li Yuanying is the same age as her, so she has to call him uncle when she sees him.

Yes, Li Yuanying is the Prince Teng in “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng”. In the third year of Yonghui, a Pavilion of Prince Teng was built in Nanchang.

Speaking of which, Li Yuanying was quite lucky. He died in the same year as Li Zhi and escaped Wu Zetian's campaign to reduce the burden on royal family.

But in fact, it was not a bad thing for Wu Zetian to chop him off. It was even a good thing for the people. After all, he was arrogant and extravagant, levied heavy taxes, and built massive projects. He was like a stone thrown into a pit, arousing public indignation everywhere.

"There are noodles with Chinese spinach and pork stew on the table." Li Xiang pointed at the table and said to Pei Xueqing.

"Okay, I understand." Pei Xueqing nodded and was pulled aside by Li Mingda.

After the two of them sat down, Li Mingda smiled and said, "I came here this time because I have something to ask you."

"Aunt, you can say whatever you want." Pei Xueqing followed Li Xiang's way of addressing her. She called Li's other daughters aunt, but to Li Mingda, she called her aunt.

"It's like this. I have a maid who has been with me for many years," Li Mingda glanced at Pei Xueqing, "She has good character and I know her personality inside out, so I thought of sending her to Xiang'er to be a good wife. What do you think, Xueqing?"

Oh, it turns out that it was to send a woman to Xiang'er.

Pei Xueqing's pupils shrank slightly, and she said calmly, "Xiang'er is the grandson of the Tang Dynasty, and now he has only three women around him. It is indeed a bit shabby. Auntie is very thoughtful, and my niece-in-law naturally has no objection."

When Li Mingda heard Pei Xueqing addressing Li Xiang, his little finger moved.

"Since Xueqing has no objection, I will go and explain to the saint later. Let's find an auspicious day in a few days and let Xiang'er marry Lianqiao." Li Mingda said with a smile.

Li Xiang listened to the conversation between the two and felt that it was a bit sarcastic.

Am I being a little too sensitive? Li Xiang rubbed his face. What's going on?

Well...it shouldn't be possible. My wife is gentle and virtuous. How could she have any conflicts with my aunt?
"So Auntie didn't even ask for my opinion..."

When Li Xiang said this, he happened to see Li Mingda turning around with a smile.

"Thank you, auntie." He immediately changed his tone.

"After you come back from Jingzhao Prefecture this afternoon, remember to come to my Sanqing Temple." Li Mingda said, "Your body is growing so fast, and your aunt has knitted a few new sets of clothes for you. Go and try them on. If they are too small, I will make you some bigger ones."

"Okay..." Li Xiang raised his eyes to glance at Pei Xueqing, and seeing that the other party still had a gentle expression, he put aside his guilty conscience.

Then he felt something was not right. No, why should I feel guilty?
"Xiang'er has grown so fast recently. I'm sorry to trouble you, auntie." Pei Xueqing thanked Li Mingda.

Li Mingda glanced at Li Xiang and said with a smile, "I am Xiang'er's aunt, so why bother me?"

"Aunt is kind-hearted and virtuous. I would like to follow you and learn a thing or two." Pei Xueqing did not wait for Li Mingda to reply, and continued, "When I learn how to knit sweaters, if I and Xiang'er have children in the future, I can also knit some clothes for them."

Just when Li Xiang was at a loss as to whether to sit or stand, Fubao's voice appeared at the right time.

"Your Highness, the King of Shu wishes to see you."

Li Xiang let out a long sigh...

Sixth uncle, you are my dear sixth uncle!

"Um, aunt, sister, Sixth Uncle is looking for me, look..." Li Xiang drew circles in the air with his index finger.

"Let Xiang'er go by himself." Li Mingda said.

"Okay." Li Xiang turned around and ran without saying a word, only regretting that Li Chengqian didn't give him two more legs.

He always felt caught in the middle, like a rat in a bellows, getting bullied from both ends.

On one side is his wife, and on the other side is his aunt. If his aunt wants to force a woman on him, his wife will definitely not be happy.

It must be said that Li Xiang actually understood Pei Xueqing a little bit.

Understanding is one thing, but the principle of the Xiaoxiang brand scumbag is to fill it up and keep it, with the main goal of no loss, no evaporation, and zero waste.

As a prince, Li Yin was not allowed to run around except for the palace where Concubine Yang was, so he could only wait for Li Xiang in Zhaode Hall.

When Li Xiang reached the gate of Zhaode Hall, he shouted loudly: "Sixth Uncle! Sixth Uncle! Where is my dearest and most beloved Sixth Uncle!"

Don't tell me, the reason for such intimacy is definitely because Li Yin, the timely rain, helped him out of a big predicament. As soon as the voice fell, a voice came from inside the Zhaode Hall.

"Brother! I miss you so much!"

Li Xiang: …

Forget it, let’s just talk about our own things from now on. I’ll call you uncle and you can call me brother.

Along with the voice, Li Yin also showed his head from Zhaode Hall.

After seeing Li Xiang, Li Yin opened his arms, walked forward and gave Li Xiang a tight hug.

"Why did Sixth Uncle come just now?" Li Xiang asked with a smile.

"I'm busy with the handover of the fiefdom." Li Yin replied: "Leave everything to Liu Lan, I'm going to climb..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard Wang De shouting outside.

"The Saint has ordered that King Yin of Shu be summoned to the Liangyi Palace for an audience!"

Hearing this, Li Yin shuddered.

"Has Sixth Uncle gotten into trouble again?" Li Xiang asked with concern.

"No, no." Li Yin was still stubborn. "Maybe my father asked me to see him for some important matter. How could I make a mistake? Don't you think about it? I am very cautious now, afraid of making mistakes..."

"Let me go with you." Li Xiang smiled and patted Li Yin's shoulder.

"Brother..." Li Yin grabbed Li Xiang's arm with both hands, and said earnestly: "No more words! Let's go together!"

Looking at his behavior, Li Xiang knew that this guy must have made some mistake in his fiefdom again.

Otherwise, it would not be possible for Old Li to allow him to enter the palace for an audience so early.

You know, today is the day of the polo match, and Lao Li is a polo fan.

Wouldn’t it be nice to watch a polo match at the stadium?

The two followed Wang De to Liangyi Hall, and Wang De went in first to deliver the message.

"Sixth Uncle, what mistake did you make? Tell me the truth." Li Xiang asked seriously, "Let me think of a solution for you. Don't wait until you get beaten up. By then, it will be too late for me to think of a solution!"

"Ah, this..." Li Yan's eyes rolled around, "It's not a big deal. I just ran back to Chang'an without Aye's permission..."

Damn it?

Li Xiang really gave Li Yin a thumbs up in his heart.

In fact, he did just that.

"Sixth Uncle..." Li Xiang reached out and patted his shoulder: "If you had told me earlier, I could have prepared two iron plates for you..."

"What's the point of preparing the iron plate?" Li Yin didn't understand what he meant.

Li Xiang didn't say anything. Coincidentally, Wang De also walked out of the hall and let the two in.

Li Yin took a deep breath, with a heroic look on his face, and walked in without hesitation.

However, this heroic spirit of "dying heroically for the sake of justice" was only his own imagination.

In Li Xiang's eyes, Li Yin's expression was as obscene as it could be, not much worse than when Captain Jia of Anqiu saw the versatile hero Shi Qingshan.

As soon as he entered the hall, Li Xiang heard Lao Li's soul asking questions.

"Xiang'er? Why are you coming to Liangyi Palace instead of going to Jingzhao Prefecture?"

Li Xiang raised his head and met Li Shimin's expression, which looked as if he had eaten leftover food.

"I heard that my sixth uncle has returned, so I went to Zhaode Hall to visit him." Li Xiang replied helplessly.

"Hmph, you are probably not here to enlighten this beast!" Li Shimin cursed with his beard puffed and eyes glared.

After hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Yin quit.

"Aye, how could you say that to me!"

Seeing that Li Yin dared to refute, Li Shimin showed a smile as if he had a toothache.

"Haha, then tell me, why can't I say this?"

"Aye said I was a beast, but he wasn't just scolding me. You know, I'm Aye's son. If Aye's son is a beast, then Aye, as a father, is old... um..."

Before Li Yin could finish his words, he was covered by Li Xiang.

Oh my god, you're going to die? How dare you say that?

However, I dared to curse back in front of Lao Li...

Then Uncle Six, you are such a man!
Hearing Li Yin's words, Li Shimin reached out and untied his belt.

This is a common action used by parents all over the world. It has been used from ancient times to the present day and can be said to be a skill passed down from our ancestors.

As the saying goes, "When the father sees that his son is still alive, he pulls out seven wolves." This is the truth.

"Li Yin, you have really become more capable!" Li Shimin sneered and threw his belt.

"Thank you for your praise, father. If you are so sensible, how could I, as your son, make you angry?" Li Yin crossed his arms at Li Shimin.

Li Xiang took a deep breath and decided not to bother with this good uncle anymore.

Damn, he’s really a piece of shit. I want to beat him up.

Of course, the main fear is that I might die from an unknown AOE.

It’s not that he is disloyal. He is thinking that if the angry Old Li accidentally hurts him, wouldn’t that make Grandpa sad?
When Lao Li heard this, his anger instantly skyrocketed.

He roared and pounced on Li Yin.

"Enter your mother's little..."

Old Li thought of Li Yin's twisted logic just now, and finally did not say the word "little beast".

If Li Yan was really a little beast, then his words really were a curse to the whole family.

"Giving birth to you is worse than giving birth to a Hu pancake!" Old Li cursed angrily, raised his whip and hit Li Yin's butt with a pia sound.

Li Yin was quite tough and didn't even cry out when he was hit.

When Old Li saw that he didn't shout, he became even angrier.

He swung the belt, making a crackling sound and a whistling sound as it whipped Li Yin.

Li Yan was really tough. He didn't say a word even after being hit so many times.

By the end, Old Li was tired. The old man held his waist, glared at Li Yin fiercely, and gasped.

"You bastard, you're quite tough!"

But no matter what, seeing how tough this bastard was, Lao Li's anger strangely subsided a lot.

"Aye, you are too kind." Li Yin smiled playfully and crossed his arms towards Li Shimin.

However, it didn't matter that he crossed his hands, as a thick piece of felt fell from somewhere on his body.

The three people in the hall looked at the felt on the ground together, stunned for a moment.
