The fifty-ninth round of open and secret fighting, the promoter of the three divisions.

As soon as the autumn rain fell, the air in Chang'an West City was mixed with the smell of moist and hearty earth.

After a while, the mellow and solemn drumbeat was heard, and the teahouse was slowly opened to the public. After a while, the teahouse was full.

"Let's continue to talk about Mei Xuan today." The storyteller paused deliberately to whet people's appetites, "A few days ago, it was rumored that the prostitute Mei Niangzi of Zhonglu Pavilion was the concubine secretly raised by General Li..."

However, on the one hand, General Li has the control of the main room, and on the other hand, he has a lustful heart and no lustful guts, so he has never had a beautiful lady. Sometimes he couldn't get rid of the pain of lovesickness, so he summoned her to the house to play a tune and see her.

Hou Shangshu saw that General Li didn't give her a name, so he wanted to dig into the corner. How did Hou Shangshu do it?

He moved the lady's household registration out of the workshop, and then beat gongs and drums to Zhonglu Pavilion. The lady scolded all the people who greeted her. The storyteller's eyebrows fluttered. Adding fuel and vinegar to the comparison, no wonder the business is so prosperous.

Hou Shangshu was unwilling, he deigned to come to Mrs. Mei's room that day. Mei Niangzi didn't agree to be his concubine, so Hou Shangshu used it... He felt that when the raw rice was cooked and the rice was ripe, the lady would no longer be stubborn.

But he forgot that the lady had learned a few kung fu tricks from Li Jing, and she was a master who could dance knives and guns.

At the last moment, Mei Niangzi took the saber that Hou Shangshu carried with her, and slashed the disciple three times in a row. Now Hou Shangshu is still in a coma.

——True and false are passed on by word of mouth, the story is becoming more and more bizarre and twisty, and the children of the nobles and the common people of Li are all talking about it.

The most valuable geisha in Pingkangfang was contested by two military generals, one was the general who defeated the Turks, and the other was the powerful military department Shangshu.

Her reputation plummeted, and she went from being an official prostitute who left the court and entered the mansion to a criminal who attempted murder.

A young man impatiently clasped up the tea bowl: "We have heard this a long time ago. What happened to Mei Xuan? ”

"Lang Jun, don't worry, listen to me carefully." The storyteller smiled, with a faint banter between his eyebrows, "After Hou Shangshu's wife saw Mei Niangzi, her angry eyes could burn the entire front yard of Shangshu Mansion..."

Storytellers make up good stories and can tell things that they haven't seen with their own eyes vividly.

However, there are some truths and some falsehoods in this story, no listener cares, only the parties can feel the complexity in it.

Jingzhao Prison.

The high skylight doesn't let in a single light. Large rats groped for food and burrows in the dark.

Mei Sanniang sat in the corner with her knees crossed, just blocking the little creature's home. The rat grabbed the corner of her skirt and slowly climbed up her legs. She seemed to be in a fugue and was too empty, unaware of the qiē around her.

The guard came to take over the night shift, and his sharp eyes saw the beautiful lady sitting in the T-shaped prison: "Yo, the new beauty, why didn't you react?" As he spoke, he leaped forward and walked towards her.

In the early Tang Dynasty, men and women were locked up in a prison. The status of women is particularly low. It is very common for female prisoners to be toyed with.

Guard Yi laughed: "I dare to bet myself on my monthly money this month." Borrow a hundred words of courage from you, and you will not dare to approach her. A hesitated and looked back at B.

B continued, "Guess why she came here?" She killed the military department Shangshu Hou Junji! Hou Junji's martial arts are more than a hundred times stronger than yours, he can't get this lady, did you want to die in the past? ”

The guards whistled one after another, and Armor walked back with a black face.

Noon. In Xingdao, Chang'an, the hall of the mansion where Empress Xiao is located.

There are a few high-legged pottery pots on the long table. The meat is cut into fine pieces, and the surface of the steamed cake is lightly covered with golden grease.

Empress Xiao pinched the bamboo chopsticks, tasted a bite of lotus root glutinous rice cake, and gently tilted her head to her ear: "Isn't the food in the palace good, why didn't you come all the way here to eat?"

Wash the lotus root, stuff the hole with glutinous rice soaked in sucrose, and steam it in a basket. After slicing and putting it on a plate, it becomes the shape on her chopsticks.

"My cousin made fun of me again." Empress Eldest Sun covered half of her cheeks, but she still couldn't hide her shyness.

Empress Xiao snorted: "You lady will pretend to be cute and behaved." His face was feigned with anger. Finally, the two of them fell on the table and laughed. She stopped smiling, and helped the butterflies on her head to walk through the flowers, "... Do you remember Mei Niang from Pingkangfang? ”

"Isn't that the bridesmaid I saw at my cousin's house the last time I came here?" Empress Eldest Sun stopped talking.

Empress Xiao raised her forehead and sighed: "That little lady is in trouble." She told the eldest grandson, the empress. Mei Sanniang was in the voice of sighing and sighing, and it turned into a casual conversation after tea and dinner.

After hearing a rough idea, Empress Eldest Sun was annoyed: "Confused!" Her ivory chopsticks rolled up to a few obediently.

"What are you angry about?" Empress Xiao didn't expect her to react so strongly and frowned.

"I'm angry, the people under His Majesty's hands are so unreasonable." Empress Changsun softened her tone and said, "Mei Niang's matter is just an introduction to the partisan dispute between General Li and Hou Shangshu. After Li Jing returned to the court in February, the official prostitute had been favored by the two of them, and His Majesty knew about it, but thought that they were fighting in secret. But now they are dying for the official prostitutes... His Majesty was shocked and angry when he found out. Isn't this military power going to be in chaos because of this? ”

Empress Xiao was confused when she heard it: "No, how can they fight openly and secretly." I heard from the eighth brother that Hou Junji has been learning the art of war with Li Jing in the past few months. Shouldn't the friendship between colleagues and mentors be better? ”

Hearing this, Empress Changsun waved her hand and stopped talking: "Military power is always watched by, and those who take part of the military power always want to snatch what others have in their hands." Anyway, the current situation is that when they were fighting for official prostitutes, they did fake shows, and in the end, they killed people. She analyzed, "And Mei Sanniang drew a knife and seriously injured Hou Junji." If Hou Junji is lucky not to die, after he wakes up, will he hate Mei Sanniang or Li Jing? ”

Empress Xiao thought for a moment: "I hate the one who hurt me head-on."

"My cousin and I have the opposite opinion." Empress Eldest Sun shook her head helplessly, "Hou Junji is suspicious, he will think that Mei Sanniang is behind Li Jing's instructions." It is normal for Hou Junji to have this kind of thought. If there is no one behind the ordinary prostitute, how dare they do it to the military department? ”

Empress Xiao was thoughtful, and her interlocking hands exchanged positions from time to time: "...... After this incident, the relationship between Hou and Li will deteriorate. The scourge has been left for 10,000 years, and probably Hou Junji is a hard life. Maybe this disaster will make him dodge. After he recovers from his injury, he will probably hurt Li Jing once. ”

Empress Xiao knew a lot about the marquis. Even if you don't want to talk about it, you will always say six or seven points.

The other party bowed respectfully: "Guanyin maid respectfully obeys the teachings of her cousin." If Hou Junji did not die, as expected by his cousin, the life of the official prostitute would be fine. At that time, what will the little lady who is unfortunately implicated in deal with? ”
