The singing and dancing girls in the side hall came to the stage one after another to perform songs and dances, and the applause in the hall receded and rose again, but the merchants still closed their eyes and did not have the slightest intention of opening them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Xianglan watched from the sidelines, and stopped talking several times. The scattered buns of the merchants are never accidental, but she doesn't know how to ask, this kind of mutual tilting between singers has its origins, and she has seen a lot in the palace for many years, but there is no good way to put an end to it.

The Ruyi and Man'er of Yunshuifang had already retreated from the front hall, and they were all around the merchants at this time. This time, the businessmen were plotted against by others, and these people were a little afraid when they thought about it. This kind of thing is the most afraid of Zhulian, if someone really wants to trouble them, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

"Merchant, what the hell is going on? You told us! Everyone's own sisters, I know, I have a precaution in the future! Save yourself from doing it alone. Ruyi patted the merchant on the shoulder, and looked at the merchant who closed his eyes and pondered with some concern.

The merchant opened his eyes, looked at Ruyi's eyes full of concern, and couldn't help but smile and said: "It's nothing, it's just that the palace maid who combed my hair used a few hairpins, and my hair was scattered, so I simply removed the hosta and performed a sword dance that I just learned, and the emperor praised me for dancing well!" ”

"Hair scattered? Is that nothing? Ruyi was a little angry, looking at Shang Shang's hair, she felt a sigh in her heart, who would have thought that it would really be like this: "If the emperor asks you for the crime of dereliction, how many lives are not enough for you to compensate!" ”

Linglong and the others gasped, and they all looked the merchants up and down to make sure she was really fine.

Seeing Ruyi, who was so angry, that she wanted to say something more, the merchant quietly squeezed her hand and glanced at her. There are many singers in the side hall, and there are many people with mixed eyes, so it is really not a good place to talk.

Ruyi looked at Shang Shang, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and sat down on the side with a hum, Linglong and the others also stopped talking with interest, knowing that this matter was not the business of Shang Shang alone, if something went wrong, the entire Yunshui Fang would follow suit.

Liu Xianglan saw that a few people were no longer talking, so she stepped forward and said: "Okay, don't say it again, it's a blessing that nothing happened, when the last one is over, we all have to go to the palace to say goodbye, you all be vigilant, don't have any problems." ”

"Hmm!" The merchant nodded in agreement and said no more.

Liu Xianglan stood by the door and listened to the sound of the front hall, the musicians' tunes gradually came to an end, and the music gradually stopped, Liu Xianglan beckoned to everyone: "Let's go!" The song in the front hall is over, and we should go and wait outside the hall. ”

After finishing speaking, he walked out first, and several merchants glanced at each other and followed.

When the group of people walked outside the Lin De Palace, the music in the hall had stopped, and they only heard the attendant preach loudly: "Xuanliu Si Le, Lu Duzhi led the singing and dancing Ji to meet him." ”

Liu Xianglan heard the call in the hall, so she quietly entered the hall with the merchants and others, and knelt down side by side with Lu Yunqian, who was waiting in the hall.

"Flat!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice, looking at the two ministers kneeling in front of him, Li Shimin felt very satisfied, he is also a person who knows the rhythm of music, this song and dance, it can be seen that he has done his best, it seems that this Tiele banquet should be able to achieve the effect he wants.

After everyone thanked the emperor, they got up and stood at the foot of the steps, waiting for the emperor to speak.

"This song and dance, the two Qing families arranged it well, and the big banquet will be presided over by the two Qing families in three days, thinking that my Tang Dynasty style will be able to deter the leader of Tiele Jiu." Li Shimin's heroic voice echoed throughout the hall, with the demeanor of the king of the Heavenly Empire.

"My Emperor Shengming!"

All the ministers in the hall got up one after another, knelt at the foot of the stairs and shouted in unison, this kind of sycophant project, presumably often done, everyone's tacit understanding reached ten points, and no one's voice came out of everyone's chorus, which made the merchants a little dumbfounded.

After the ministers congratulated him, Li Shimin got up after announcing the level, Lin De Hall is just a dance hall, the emperor's bedroom is in the Ganlu Palace, there is still some distance from here, and the imperial chariot has already been waiting outside the palace.

Sending Li Shimin away from the Lin De Palace, everyone got up and left, and Shang Shang and others also followed Liu Xianglan and Lu Yunqian back to Changyin Yuan, and when they were about to turn around, Shang Shang suddenly heard a low call from behind him.

"Merchant girl! Please stay. There was some inexplicable vicissitudes in his voice.

When she turned her head to look, she saw Li Jing standing in front of the hall and smiling at her.

"Li Guogong!" Shang Shang smiled at Li Jing, and walked towards Li Jing with respect in his eyes, this vicissitudes of life always gave her an inexplicable good impression, perhaps because of the red breeze, or because of the kind light of equal treatment in his eyes, just like his own grandfather, although he didn't say much, he would always show her a kind smile when she went home.

"Is the merchant girl from Luoyang?" Li Jing looked at the young woman in front of him with a smile, this woman had a kind of red glow when he was young, which made him miss it a lot.

"The merchant was originally from Chang'an, but he was sold by the official media because his father was convicted, and was bought by the owner of Luoyang Yunshui Fang, and now lives in Luoyang." The merchant bowed slightly and replied in a low voice.

"Oh, Lingzun is?" Li Jing was a little abrupt, but also a little compassionate, such a woman, but her life experience was so miserable.

"My father was originally the young secretary Su Dingyuan in the Prince's Mansion." When the merchant talked about Su Dingyun, she was slightly in a trance, and when this name came to her mouth, she felt like a world away.

"Ahh The merchant girl turned out to be the palm bead of Master Su's family. Li Jing vaguely remembered that the man who was a scholar, although he was pedantic, he was not a gentleman, but he should not be innocently implicated in the Prince's Mansion.

"Don't dare, the merchant is now in a lowly position, and he doesn't dare to be the old man." The merchant raised his head, although he said that he was cheap, his eyes were calm, and he was not ashamed of his identity at all.

"A businesswoman doesn't have to be so contemptuous, she never has a cheap name in the eyes of the old man." Li Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, the red breeze back then, like her, never cared about her identity, the light in her eyes was almost impossible to ignore, I remember the first time I saw her, I was attracted by the light in her eyes, and since then, I have never looked away.

"If the merchant girl doesn't dislike it, when she stays in the palace, she might as well go to the old man's house for a few days, so that the old man can do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord." Li Jing's eyes were sincere, if the red whisk was still there, he would definitely take this woman as a confidant!

"Thank you Li Guogong for your love, if there is something going on in the Shang Shang Palace, I will definitely go to your mansion to visit the old Guogong." Shang Shang smiled gently, this old man always reminded her of her grandfather at home, after her father left, she and her mother took care of her grandfather, who never said anything, but often looked at her loving smile, and always kept her good things.

Li Jing groped in his sleeve for a long time, took out a sticker, and solemnly handed it to the merchant: "This is a post in my house, when you are free, take this post to my house to find me, and someone will lead you to see me." Remember, this is the case, you must come to see the old man. ”

"The agreement to live up to the love of the old country." The merchant took the sticker with both hands and carefully put it close to his body, and then he blessed Li Jingfu.

"Go ahead! Go ahead! Li Jing stroked his beard, smiled under his long white eyebrows, looked very happy, waved his hand to the merchant, and then kicked and stepped away.

The merchant stood in place and watched Li Jing leave, only then did he turn around and walk towards Liu Xianglan who was waiting on the side, in order to wait for her, Liu Xianglan deliberately stayed, and the rest of the people had already left with Lu Yunqian.

The conversation between the two in front of the palace attracted the attention of many passing officials, and some people even maliciously speculated that Li Jing, who was more than a year old, was afraid that he saw the appearance of a businessman who looked like a red-haired girl, and wanted to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house! But no matter what, there is no doubt that the businessman has Li Jing's blue eyes, with Li Jing's current status, if it is not necessary, no one will want to provoke him, which also adds an extra talisman to the businessman.

Li Zhi didn't say anything about what happened in the main hall, as if the person who took the lead in relieving the siege for the merchants was not him, and returned to the East Palace as soon as he dispersed the banquet, which disappointed many people with a heart, and the rumors about the prince and the merchants in Luoyang City were lively! Who knew that the two rumored protagonists met but there was no drama at all.

But Wu Wang Li Ke stopped outside the courtyard, and stood outside the courtyard with a personal little chamberlain, waiting for the conversation between the two to end. Some good deeds want to hear something, but it is inconvenient to stay, so they have to sigh in vain.

"Merchant girl!" Li Ke looked at the merchant dressed in red, followed Liu Xianglan and walked in front of him without squinting, and finally couldn't help but stop her.

The merchant who was going to pretend not to see and leave sighed helplessly, it seemed that pretending to be blind would not work, so he cleaned up the expression on his face, waved his hand to Liu Xianglan, and motioned for her to go first, but he turned around in a hurry, and first made a proper salute, and then asked.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, I don't know what to call for businessmen?"

Wu Wangben didn't know why he wanted to stay to call her, he was at a loss for a while, but he didn't know what to say, and the falcon-like light in his eyes was much weaker, he pinched the folding fan in his hand, and said in a hurry.

"The singing and dancing of the merchant girl is indeed a must, this king just wants to invite the merchant girl to perform a song and dance for the concubine in the palace of the mother concubine after the feast, so as to make the concubine smile."

"King Wu is filial piety, the merchant agrees to obey his fate, but I don't know when the king of Wu will set the day, if the time is not too long, I am afraid that the merchant will not be able to live in the palace for a long time." The merchant responded indifferently. For King Wu, due to the antagonistic relationship between Peony Pavilion and Yunshuifang, she has always stayed away. What's more, this hair bun incident, maybe there is the shadow of the Peony Pavilion behind it, after all, there are only a handful of enemies she made when she came to the Tang Dynasty, except for the Peony Pavilion, she really can't think of anyone who wants to get rid of her like this for a while.

Who knows if there is any instruction from King Wu in this? Peony Pavilion is his property, no one will think that he has too much money, right? He jumped out to show goodwill at this time, but he was afraid that there might be something else in it!

"Time is easy to say, the palace of the mother concubine is lonely, but there is a lot of time, just wait for the business girl, this king will send someone to invite, okay?" Li Ke followed the words of the businessman, looked at the charming businessman in front of him, recalled Huo Yiqing just now, Li Ke couldn't help but have a cold look, it seems that he is too used to white peonies, so that she forgot her identity!

Shang Shang raised his eyes slightly, and was about to speak, but he saw the cold color in Li Ke's eyes, and he was shocked, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and hurriedly lowered his head, and said in a trembling voice: "But according to the orders of the prince!" ”

Li Ke was thinking about how to deal with the white peony in his heart, and was awakened by the words of the merchant, so he came back to his senses and said: "This is very good, then the king will wait for the girl's good news!" ”
