Chapter 43: Discouragement

Li Zhi could not help himself after only looking at a side face on the dragon chair, and he was even more worried about the eldest grandson Wuji, so he hurriedly asked the musician to start playing music. This inadvertently saved Tang Ying, she is not a professional actor, and she is worried about how to continue. As the music played, she danced according to Wu Mei's pre-choreographed haode dance.

The piece was originally not suitable for a solo dance. She has been cultivating for many years, and she is already as light as a swallow. With the calm drum beat of the music, her movements are galloping one by one, bringing agility, strength and feminine beauty to life. This is a boyish tune, and this soft and rigid comparison is very interesting to watch with all the ministers. Coupled with her slender figure, it makes the audience feel more relaxed. Li Zhi could see it early, and when he remembered the intimate contact that night, the desire in his heart grew like a flame.

Looking at the eldest grandson Wuji again, his eyes were bright, as if he was in tears.

When Tang Ying saw the appearance of the eldest grandson Wuji, he knew that he was not far from success. When the final drum beat of the song fell heavily, Tang Ying lightly crossed to the table of the eldest grandson Wuji, holding the sterling silver wine cup in both hands, and toasted him with a smile.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at this face like that of his sister when she was young, and her head couldn't help but go blank. He forgot that this girl was Wu Mei's relative, and forgot all the psychological construction he had done before coming to the banquet. He took the glass with straight eyes and drank it stupidly.

All of this is like going back to the years when he fought with Li Shimin, every time he turned the danger into a disaster and returned triumphantly, his sister would toast herself with a glass of wine like this.

Tang Ying naturally heard a lot of interesting stories about him and the eldest grandson empress. Knowing that Empress Changsun never wanted to emphasize her family's exploits too much, she got up with a proper salute and poured wine for the next minister.

As everyone knows, this departed figure turned into sticky honey in the heart of the eldest grandson Wuji, irrigating his heart that has been increasingly cold and cold for many years participating in political struggles. In an instant, he had the idea of leaving the court to live a happy old age.

Looking at Tang Ying after toasting everyone, he left in a hurry without mentioning anything about Wu Mei, and he was even more puzzled. Isn't this Wu Mei's plan to arrange haode? Everything is just a coincidence?

"Uncle, uncle?" Li Zhi was secretly anxious when he saw that he was unwilling, for fear that he would not be able to control his deep-rooted love for Tang Ying. The eldest grandson Wuji coughed twice, and turned his face from facing the gate to the emperor, "The minister is here." ”

Li Zhi saw that his eyes were blank and he did not have the aggressive momentum of the past, and he was secretly happy in his heart, so he said to him with a pleasant face: "Today is a banquet for the ministers, but unfortunately my harem queen is immoral, and she really has no face to ask her to come out to toast you." His words were very lonely, and the dozens of Lingyan Pavilion and high-ranking ministers who had done at the table knew the meaning of his words.

The eldest grandson Wuji saw that he pulled out the topic of the abolition again, and suddenly said with disgust: "Bixia." There are many doubts about the victory, please be aware of it. ”

Li Zhi pretended to be puzzled and asked: "This is what her uncle Liu Zheng personally admitted, what else needs to be investigated?" ”

Chu Suiliang saw that the eldest grandson Wuji was a little absent-minded, so he said on the side: "But Wu Mei came from a humble background, and it is difficult for her to be a mother in the world. ”

Li Zhi was tired of hearing this reason, although he chased Wu Mei's father's official title several times, it still seemed that he couldn't get into the eyes of this group of old ministers. He drank silently, thinking about how to resolve the argument. I heard a voice on the other side of the banquet say slowly: "Alas, according to the old minister, it is the emperor's family affair after the abolition of the post-establishment and abolition, let's not mix it." ”

Chu Suiliang was just about to retort, but found that it was none other than the British Duke Li Tao who was sitting on the head. This person has outstanding military achievements, and he has been deeply valued since the time of Taizong, and his words are far more weighty than him, so he is inconvenient to say anything, but he just gives the eldest grandson Wuji a look.

The eldest grandson Wuji has not yet recovered from the memory of his sister, he drank the wine in the toast, got up and said goodbye: "The old minister is a little unwell, and I hereby ask Bixia to allow the old minister to retire first." ”

Li Zhi was very proud when he saw that he didn't persevere to the end for the first time, so he allowed him to go back first with a smile on his face.

Today is the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon in the sky is big and round. The eldest grandson Wuji stepped on the cold moon and walked crookedly towards the outside of the Taiji Palace. The eunuchs standing at the door wanted to come up and help, but he pushed them away, so they had to stand behind him.

I've always been a good drinker, but I haven't drunk much today, so why do you feel so dizzy? Just as he was wondering, he suddenly saw the girl who had just danced sitting in the corner of the building in front of him. By the way, he inquired, this girl's name is Tang Ying. The footsteps walked towards her unobediently, and the call buried in his heart gradually came out uncontrollably.

Tang Ying's appearance here was not arranged in advance. She was supposed to be guarding outside the hall, waiting for Wu Mei to give her a hint before going in and dancing. However, in the past Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Chunfeng would come to the palace to find her, and this time she did not inform him of the dancing in advance, she was afraid of missing it.

Holding her knees and blowing the cool breeze of the night, her expectations for Li Chunfeng were even more intense. Especially today, I am dressed so beautifully and my makeup is so exquisite, I want Li Chunfeng to see a different version of myself!

The eldest grandson Wuji looked up at her from under the stage, and only felt that she was as bright and moving as a fairy in the Moon Palace. Tang Ying felt that someone was staring at her, and looked down to see his fascinated eyes. For a moment, she was a little nervous. Wu Mei only taught her what to say and do when dancing in the hall, but did not tell her what to do when she met the eldest grandson Wuji in private.

I saw the eldest grandson Wuji open his arms to her, but said in a doting tone: "Come down, climb to such a high place, be careful of falling." ”

In fact, with Tang Ying's skills, what is this height? But she didn't dare to slack off, but pretended to be timid, and obediently jumped down and landed in the arm of the eldest grandson Wuji. Although the eldest grandson Wuji is old, his body is still strong. He stared at Tang Ying for a long time, and finally put her on the ground, "How old are you?" Looks younger than my grandchildren. ”

Tang Ying saluted obediently, and held his arm and said, "Ying'er is just thirteen this year. The eldest grandson Wuji counted the years in his heart, and the strange idea of "she was born after her sister's death" came up. But then he shook his head, feeling that the reincarnation theory was illusory after all, and he should not have illusions.

Tang Ying helped him silently walk towards the outside of the Taiji Palace. In her historical knowledge, she knows very well about the life and death of famous figures like the eldest grandson Wuji. She knew that the eldest grandson Wuji would soon be defeated in the struggle against Wu Mei, and she couldn't help but feel some pity for him. The two walked silently like this, Tang Ying always wanted to find something to say to him, hoping to give him some comfort. But I don't know anything about him, and through Wu Mei's relationship, it is already rare for the eldest grandson Wuji to be willing to take care of her.
