Chapter 53: Return to the palace wall
Li Zhi made her happy, and asked the palace maid to bring tea and water to her.
Tang Ying wiped his face with water, breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally stopped crying. But his spirit has not yet recovered, and he is looking straight at the ground in a daze. Li Zhi blasted all his subordinates away, carefully hugged her, and covered her with his own clothes. He was in an indescribably good mood, and he had a headache or something that had already been thrown out of the clouds.
Seeing that Tang Ying had finally regained his composure, he cautiously asked, "Ah Ying, what happened to you?" Tell me and I'll help you out. ”
Tang Ying then remembered that he had never known about himself and Li Chunfeng, and it might not be appropriate to come to him for ideas. So he shook his head and said, "It's okay." It's just that I haven't been back for a long time, and I miss everyone a little. ”
Li Zhi hugged her tightly, "Silly girl." This is your home, come back if you want, why make yourself uncomfortable. No, it's not just you. You still make me uncomfortable, let Mei Niang, Hong'er, Xian'er, all of us miss you. ”
"Hmm." Tang Ying heard his sincere words, and he was a little choked up with emotion.
As she was talking, Wu Mei walked in with a solemn guard of honor. After saluting Li Zhi, seeing Tang Ying's red eyes, he glanced at Li Zhi with some suspicion.
Li Zhi was so frightened that he quickly let go of his hand, "I didn't get her." When you come back and see me, you cry and don't tell me what it's for, so that I think I'm dying soon, and you don't tell me! ”
Wu Mei blamed him for being open-mouthed, pursed his lips in disgust, and sat on the edge of the bed, lovingly hugged Tang Ying's shoulder and said, "Look at the one who wronged you into such a pitiful way." Tell me who bullied you. The emperor and queen are all supporting you, is there anything that can't be done? ”
Tang rubbed her shoulder like a kitten and whispered, "It's okay." It's true. Wu Mei looked at her and immediately guessed eight or nine. also knew that she was unwilling to say it in front of Li Zhi, so she asked him for instructions: "Your Majesty." Our two sisters have a lot to say, not to mention that you are also sick, or we will retire first. Shall we eat together at dinner? ”
Li Zhi seriously grabbed Tang Ying's hand and said, "Then you have to promise that you won't leave in such a hurry." Last time you didn't come to see me in the East Palace, I was almost angry after listening to Hong'er. ”
Tang Ying smiled at him and replied seriously: "I promise not to leave today." ”
When Li Zhi saw her smile, his demeanor became fluttering again. Wu Mei hurriedly pulled Tang Ying to retreat.
Wu Mei pulled Tang Ying back to Penglai Palace, and the two talked in a low voice along the way. Tang Ying was afraid that it would affect Ming Chongyan's career, so he snatched his name, only saying that Li Chunfeng was irrational and asked Wu Mei for help.
Wu Mei also found it difficult to understand when she heard it. In her impression, there is no gentleman in the world who is as gentle as jade like Li Chunfeng. However, she has seen more than Tang Ying. secretly thought that Li Chunfeng was 66 years old by now, and if he was really old and confused, it was hard to guarantee that he would not become like this.
When she thought of this, she inevitably felt a little pity. After all, the shocking silhouette has been hovering in her heart for more than ten years. But now that there is Ming Chongyan after all, she has shifted her fascination with Li Chunfeng to this young man.
Tang Ying saw that she didn't answer, so she shook her arm lightly and asked for help: "Mei Niang, what do you think I should do?" ”
Wu Mei smiled and patted her hand and said, "A period of time before Taizong Immortal left. His temper has also become very strange, and he listened to slander and said that I was a goblin who brought disaster to the country and the people, and didn't he even issue an edict to let me go to Ganye Temple to practice. Therefore, when people get old, there will indeed be a big change in temperament. ”
Tang Ying didn't want to accept this fact, and cried again. After all, when she met Li Chunfeng, there was an age gap of more than 40 years between the two. It's just that Li Chunfeng was dressed in Taoism at that time, and he looked young enough to make her ignore the ravine of age.
Up to now, Li Chunfeng has experienced the resurrection of the dead, the fragmentation of the inner dan, and the dispersion of the Tao. From an immortal to a mortal, the problem of age slowly became prominent.
She recalled that in recent years, in fact, Li Chunfeng's changes have gradually become prominent. It's just that she still has hope.
Wu Mei saw that she was so sad, so she made a decision for her, "That's it." Let's take him to the palace, eat and drink and serve, you can see him at any time, how about it? ”
Tang Ying hurriedly shook his head, "No." He has a lot of backbone and doesn't want to accept your handouts. Wu Mei frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "Then don't you do it." I sent a few spies to keep an eye on him day and night, and if he was seriously ill, another doctor to take care of him. If he loses his anger in ten days and half a month, you can discuss what to do in the future, okay? ”
Tang Ying thought about it, there was only such a way. Wu Mei immediately called Ming Chongyan, "Chongyan." Later, you will go out of the city to Xishan to see how Li Taishi's condition is. ”
Tang Ying hurriedly stopped, "No." Don't tell him to go. Wu Mei glanced at them a few times in surprise, seemed to understand something, and waved her hand to tell Ming Chongyan to come out. If it was Ming Chongyan, no wonder Li Chunfeng would be angry. Such a person who resembles himself when he was young is like a constant reminder of his aging and decadence......
Thinking about Ming Chongyan, she pursed her lips and smiled inadvertently, and said to Tang Ying, "Ah Ying." Actually, you came back at a good time. In September this year, the old minister Li Ji conquered Goguryeo and captured many prisoners and returned. In addition, the envoys of various countries lived in Chang'an, and law and order gradually became a big problem. I need a henchman to keep an eye on these Gentiles and keep them out of trouble. Come to think of it, only you are the most suitable. ”
Tang Ying hurriedly excused himself: "I don't know anything about government affairs. If you ask me to engage in international relations, I will definitely not be able to do it. ”
"International relations?" Wu Mei nodded happily, "It's been a long time since I've heard your 'avant-garde' words." Don't be nervous, no one is born to be a good hand, I believe that with your charm and courage, you will be able to deal with it. What's more, you have helped me persuade many old ministers, how can you say that you are not capable? ”
Tang Yingxin said that it is not all about historical knowledge to help, she knows the fate of some important ministers, and it is very clear who can be obedient and who can't. However, she thought about it for a while, and in this era, she had never heard of any wind in which foreigners were rising, and maybe it wouldn't be too difficult to manage, so she finally agreed half-pushed.
Since then, Tang Ying went to the Xishan courtyard every morning to take a look at Li Chunfeng from a distance, and then shuttled through Chang'an City, becoming a diplomatic envoy representing the emperor and empress.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty was a superpower in the Eastern world, and it was not polite to ordinary small countries. Tang Ying looked like a natural beauty, and naturally fascinated a large number of envoys. Coupled with the basic education of the 21st century, she has some impression of the history of the development of the world, and from time to time she can communicate with the envoys about the situation in the past and present, and sometimes even predict the future. As a result, her name as a former imperial envoy spread in Chang'an City.
