Chapter 90: Action
The area occupied by King Wu's Mansion is not the largest among all the vassal kings, but it is undoubtedly the most exquisite in the entire Chang'an City. A few pavilions and flowing water are reflected in the www.biquge.info of the Pavilion, and occasionally a few bright peach blossoms are dotted among them, all of which make this palace look solemn and solemn from the bones.
Li Ke walked slowly through the path of flowers and trees with his hands behind his back, a gorgeous brocade robe almost integrated with the flowers and trees, and only the pair of phoenix eyes that occasionally appeared between the flower branches would reveal his appearance from time to time.
Yuwen, who followed him, was dressed in white, and his slender body was like a shadow, silently moving behind him, and his dark eyes were a little melancholy at this time.
Standing under a blooming peach tree, Li Ke reached out and broke off a lively flower branch, thoughtfully put the red petals close to his nose and sniffed it gently, but there was no joy in his eyes.
From the day he saw Wu Meiniang appear in the Manna Palace, his whole person fell into an extreme emotion.
On the one hand, reason is persuading him to let go of everything and start over, but on the other hand, he is emotionally completely unable to accept that the woman who had always been in love with him has now turned to the arms of someone else, and this other person was once his-for-tat enemy and brother of flesh and blood.
And at this time, Gao Yang, who has always been close to him, actually sent someone to send such a post that made him frightened and excited.
Unite the important ministers of the court, master the main force of the forbidden army, and directly force the palace!
has been a good son of the first emperor for so long, except for the current emperor, I am afraid that no one knows better than him about the current arrangement of the forbidden army in Chang'an. And with Datang's habit of emphasizing the outside over the inside, as long as the forbidden army can be mastered, it is not difficult to force the palace!
If it is really as Gao Yang said, most of the civil servants in the court have been fully involved in her, then the rest of the military ministers are really only handed over to him, if he can't make a move, Gao Yang must only stare on the sidelines, those old men who are used to holding Tang knives will not be like those spineless Wenchen, eat Gao Yang's soft words, gentle and light songs and dances.
"Yuwen!" Li Ke called out with some complicated feelings.
Yuwen heard Li Ke's soft call, pulled his eyes back from a peach tree in the distance, and put it on Li Ke's face, but he didn't make a sound.
"Master Xuanzang's words...... How credible do you think it is? Li Ke's voice was hesitant, but there was a hint of expectation.
Yuwen raised his eyebrows, a subtle hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
The Li Ke in front of him is no longer the high-spirited prince he was at the beginning, after the blow of Tang Taizong's choice of the throne, Li Ke has long lost his initial self-confidence.
When he asked this sentence at this time, he actually just wanted Yuwen to give him a reassuring pill, but was this reassuring pill really useful if he wanted to give it?
Thinking of the old men in his clan who were still thinking about the glory of the Great Sui, Yuwen couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart.
"Zi Bu is strange and confused, Xuanzang is a disciple of Buddhism, and the prince has to ask himself." Yuwen arched his hand slightly, and the smile on his face was faint.
This time he will come to Chang'an, Yuwen is really involuntarily, although he has already taken over the position of patriarch, but the elders of the clan who rely on their identity always restrain him, so that he has to do what he does not want to do against his will.
Li Ke listened to Yuwen's words, but his action of sniffing the flowers was sudden, and a wry smile appeared faintly on his face.
Ask yourself? If he can really ask himself, how can he go to Xuanzang? In the fog in front of him, two completely different paths were in front of him, and he had no clue how to choose.
"The businessman of the Su family will marry Li Mo in May." Suddenly, Li Ke suddenly remembered what he had heard after returning to Chang'an, so he turned around and said to Yuwen.
He also understands Yuwen's thoughts, and he also knew about it because of the bad things in business, but now this thought is destined to become the same loss as him.
Li Ke's words were like a small pebble, and suddenly smashed into Yuwen's heart, making the tranquility he originally thought suddenly ripple.
"Really?" His pupils shrank slightly, and Yuwen replied casually, but his drooping sleeves and hands were clenched into fists.
"Yes......" Looking at Yu Wenqiang's calm face, Li Ke suddenly felt a little funny.
It seems that both he and Yuwen are destined to be the one to lose! Are they destined to be able to watch others live and live from afar and get everything that belongs to them?
Why? Is he really just going to be a loser?
He was not convinced! His talent and his background will not be worse than Li Zhi, why can he only bow to him? Liu Bang, the original ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was just a little ruffian guarding the pavilion, why couldn't he get to that position?
"Yuwen! Go and post it for me, and I'm going to ask a few guests to go out of town to hunt together. Li Ke's eyes suddenly appeared with an almost vicious light.
Yuwen looked at Li Ke quietly, there was no wave in his eyes, and Li Ke looked at Yuwen fixedly, holding the bewitching peach blossom in full bloom tightly in his hand, and there was no flinch in his eyes.
After a long time, Yuwen laughed softly, and replied: "My subordinates understand." ”
Li Ke didn't retreat under his eyes, it could only mean that he had made up his mind, so all he had to do was follow his wishes, as for the result...... That's not something he can decide!
Seeing Yuwen's white-clothed back disappear from his sight, Li Ke looked down at the flower branch in his hand, the light in his eyes gradually calmed down, and after a long time, he said softly: "Are you still waiting for me?" ”
The low pressure in the Taiji Palace has lasted for several days, and all the palace people are afraid that they dare not make a mistake, lest they touch the emperor's spear head and accidentally lose their lives. Even Xiao Chengzi, who had always followed Li Zhi step by step, tensed his nerves, worried that he would make a mistake.
Just when everyone thought that this unwarranted turmoil was going to continue, the queen Wang, who had never asked about the world, suddenly became the collaborator of this whole thing.
First of all, Queen Wang invited Wu Zhaoyi to enjoy the flowers by taking advantage of the apricot blossoms in the garden, and specially asked Concubine Xiao Shu to accompany her.
Looking at Concubine Xiao Shu's flying and domineering face, she just smiled secretly in her heart, but looking at Wu Meiniang's indispensable face, she felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't have anything to do with this woman.
With Concubine Xiao Shu here, everything that follows seems so logical, it comes naturally, and all the calculations of Queen Wang have become reality.
First of all, in order to show off her status in the emperor's heart, Concubine Xiao Shu, who was arrogant, used it to contrast the two pale women who had lost their favor, and sent the palace maid next to her to invite Li Zhi without saying anything.
When Li Zhi learned the news and came over with some complicated feelings, those eyes could no longer be separated from the somewhat thin Wu Meiniang, and poor Concubine Xiao Shufei realized that the protagonist of this flower banquet had already changed.
Seeing that Wu Zhaoyi, who was just a thin fat powder, attracted all of Li Zhi's attention, making her and Queen Wang completely become a foil, Concubine Xiao Shu's eyes were about to erupt with hatred!
However, she couldn't say this bitterness, she could only knock out her teeth and swallow blood, a good contest between women, who let her have to do a lot of things to attract Li Zhi?
Seeing the schadenfreude in the eyes of Queen Wang, who was sitting on the side and serving as a foil for those two people, Concubine Xiao really wanted to slap herself twice!
By the end of the flower banquet, Li Zhi's eyes had already left only Wu Meiniang's figure, but fortunately, he still knew how to hide it, and with a wave of his hand, he rewarded the three of them with what the vassal kings had just entered.
And Wu Meiniang, who had been depressed in the palace for many days, finally took a breath at this time, and finally didn't worry about it anymore, although she was still thinking about Li Ke now, but at least Li Zhi didn't have to worry about her anymore, and there was more smile on her face.
As soon as Li Zhi left, Concubine Xiao Shufei, who was holding back her anger, took a large group of people to brush her sleeves away, without saving any face for Queen Wang and Wu Zhaoyi.
"Wu Zhaoyi!" Queen Wang stood up from the main seat in the middle, looked at Wu Meiniang who was sitting on the side, and whispered her name in her mouth.
Today's flower banquet is obviously the masterpiece of Queen Wang, and she still has three points of admiration for Queen Wang's ability to grasp Concubine Xiao's temperament thoroughly, plus the final beneficiary of this flower banquet is herself after all, so she still showed a little respect on her face.
"Queen Mother!" Wu Meiniang bowed slightly, and agreed with a smile.
"If you have nothing to do on weekdays, you might as well walk around the palace more, my Zhaoyang Palace is also empty, if you don't dislike it, come and accompany me more!" Queen Wang took two steps forward and grabbed Wu Meiniang's hand, with a kind smile on her face.
"Yes! Mei Niang will definitely go to the Niangniang Palace more! Wu Meiniang quietly pulled out her hand gently, put it on her waist and saluted Queen Wang, looking extremely respectful.
Queen Wang looked at Wu Meiniang's appearance, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, but soon, she covered the past with a faint smile.
As Queen Wang sat on the phoenix chariot and left, Wu Meiniang's heart in her throat finally let go, turned around and held the little palace maid's hand, and walked back to her dormitory.
Wu Meiniang's gaze slid along the flowers and branches in the imperial garden one by one, but she was silently thinking about her own affairs in her heart.
The queen's flower banquet came neither early nor late, and it must have been carefully planned. At such a coincidence, it must be more than the decision of the queen to estimate this kind of overture.
"It seems that the Wang family is about to make a move!" Wu Meiniang muttered. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
