Chapter 20 Invitation

Separated by two carved rosewoods in the distance, the palace is empty and echoes when it speaks.

Sitting in front of a table of exquisite imperial meals, waiting for the people behind her to wait for the meal, the queen and queen are like a bird trapped in a golden wire cage, the heart that longs to fly into the blue sky has already become a pool of stagnant water, only the exhaustion of sitting in the city of sorrow and the aging like flowers.

In this majestic and magnificent palace, the old and decaying breath drifting around seems to be a toxin soaked in her bones, making her beautiful face gradually distorted, and no longer exuding the fresh appearance of the spring sun when she was young.

The apricot behind the queen was smiling, almost flatteringly waiting for the incomparably noble woman in front of her. Anyway, the queen's decree is not everyone who has the courage to resist! What's more, it's just a little rakiko?

The queen ordered her to enter the palace, and it was a great grace to tell her about it herself!

After the resignation of the queen and the queen, it was already past noon, and the sun after the middle of the day showed a meager warmth in the gradually cold weather, which made people feel comforted.

This feast of each mind was not very comfortable. Queen Wang seemed to have a shallow smile, and deliberately asked the heart of the warmth, which made the businessmen laugh in their hearts and couldn't help but secretly shake their heads.

The oil-walled car of Qingbu drove out of the gate of the inner palace and stopped in front of the merchant with a few rolling sounds.

Shang Shang squatted slightly and thanked her father-in-law who sent her out, helped the palace maid who was standing on the side to get into the car, and sat down. The index finger bent slightly on the carriage, and the horse snorted, and then slowly moved.

Gently lifting the curtain, the palace road on both sides was empty, and the carriage was not in a hurry to drive in the long palace road of the vermilion palace wall.

A smile appeared on the merchant's face. I wonder how Li Mo would react when he saw this will? I hope that Queen Wang's nieces and Yizhi can wait for her to return to Jiuzhi Mountain! The expression on Li Mo's face must have been very interesting at that time, she really wanted to see it with her own eyes!

She worked hard in Chang'an City, but she couldn't let Li Mo hide far away and be happy!

After checking the waist plate for entering and exiting, the carriage drove out of the heavily guarded Taiji Palace through the side door.

As the car moved away, Shang Shang lifted the curtain and looked back, and unexpectedly found that there was a similar carriage driving out of the palace gate behind her.

Looks like ---- someone can't wait! It seems - she should be able to catch up with the excitement?

Li Zhi stood at the highest point of the Taiji Palace and looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away, and Li Yan stood quietly five steps behind him without saying a word.

"Go and send a message to Mo." Li Zhi waved his hand back, and his bright yellow sleeves swayed gently in the wind.

Li Yan bowed his head and turned to leave.

"It seems that Gao Yang's matter was settled earlier! There are businessmen in front, Mo should give me some face, right? Li Zhi muttered uncertainly, turned around and slowly returned to the Manna Palace.

Gao Yang's matter will drag the merchants down, which is somewhat unexpected by Li Zhi. Although I don't know very well where this always arrogant girl started to get in touch with businessmen.

But since this is already the case, then she should be a face-saving businessman, not to mention that the Enke she proposed is indeed quite helpful to the government.

The two eunuchs went out before the palace gates were closed, and went in two directions.

When it was time to hold the lamp, Gao Yang and Ci'en Temple sent the stewards of the inner gate, Mama and Peeji, to bring two pieces of news respectively.

One is the emperor's decree, so that Gao Yang in the palace to meditate on his own mistakes, within three months not to go out of the palace for a step, ordered the bereaved love to personally come to the door to Chen Lord Jing to ask for the guilt, another decree to Lord Chen, the official is promoted to a level, and another reward of gold, silver, pearls and jade and a number of precious medicinal materials, in order to calm the heart.

Another decree was given to Master Xuanzang, ordering him to send a speech machine to envoy to Tibet, to take this opportunity to promote Buddhism, and to bring all kinds of crops and silk, jewelry, and all kinds of books, with the greatest sincerity to improve relations with Tubo Zampu.

The merchant sat in the study on the second floor, looking down at the plain note handed by Peeji in his hand, with a slight smile on his face.

"Now the master should be at ease! Although the road to Tibet is far away, the merchants have also heard the ascetic monk say that maybe the debate master will go here, and it is unknown whether he can gain anything else! ”

"The master invited Nu Tanyue to go to the temple tomorrow to rejoice, and hoped that Nu Tanyue would not refuse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Peep Ji stood up with one palm and said solemnly.

Although his face was expressionless, the expression in his eyes was much more relaxed than the last time he came to the kitchen. The matter of wanting to come to the debate also put a lot of pressure on them, and it is also a blessing for the businessmen to be able to solve it satisfactorily this time.

"It's good! I have something to ask the master tomorrow. ”

Shang Shang nodded and said with a smile: "I have heard that the vegetarian food of Ci'en Temple has been done very well, and I have to let the master break the bank." ”

Voyeur also smiled when he heard this, and his expression was quite smug.

After the matter has been explained, Peep Ji did not stay for long, resigned from the merchant and went out, but in front of the door of the kitchen road, he met Gao Yang, the housekeeper in front of the kitchen road.

As soon as he saw that the person who came was a woman, he hurriedly turned sideways and avoided it, waved his hand with the merchant, and then took his leave, without even glancing at the person out of the corner of his eye.

The woman's expression was dignified, but the corners of her eyes couldn't help but pass over the peeping, revealing a little understanding.

The merchant sent the peep away, turned to look at the woman, and saw that she was dressed in a honey-apricot and word-collared shirt from the chin, wrapping the whole person through the wind and rain, and the high bun also looked dignified, and a ruyi hairpin of mutton fat jade was inserted in the black hair.

Seeing that the merchant looked at her with some doubts, the woman stepped forward to greet the merchant and said with a slight smile: "Blessed merchant girl!" The princess asked the girl to come over tomorrow. ”

"There is labor! Don't know what to call it? ”

The merchant let the woman go to the inner courtyard, and was secretly surprised: Seeing that this person is acting in a manner, he doesn't seem to be a person from Gao Yang, and he doesn't know why he waits in front of her?

"Don't dare, the girl calls me Mama Wan."

"Mama Wan, please!"

The merchant let Mama Wan into the study on the second floor, ordered Xiao Tao to pour tea again, and then sat down and talked to the woman.

"I don't know what the princess is looking for?" The merchant took the post handed by Xiao Tao, and asked Mama Wan while looking at it.

Judging from the words on this post, Gao Yang's problem has also been solved. I just don't know what she called herself? It stands to reason that the matter has ended, and she should settle down for some time, she has been in Chang'an City for so long, and it is time to pack up and go back to Jiuzhi Mountain.

Mama Wan smiled and replied: "It's nothing, but the princess feels quite close to the girl, and wants to be close to the girl from time to time, and I hope the girl will not refuse." ”

The reason for this is actually clear to the two people present, such a statement is just to fool people, and the businessman doesn't care, just smiles faintly and doesn't reply.

She has already taken Peeki's post, and she should go to see Xuanzang tomorrow, but Princess Gaoyang can go there or not, the matter will be over when it is over, but she doesn't want to have too much to do with this domineering princess.

"Mama also saw it, the peep master of the Ci'en Temple came to invite, and the businessmen are going to the Ci'en Temple tomorrow to meet Master Xuanzang, but I'm afraid it's inconvenient to see the princess."

Ready-made reasons, businessmen open their mouths to come.

Xuanzang still owes her an explanation, she doesn't want to let go of this opportunity because of Gao Yang.

In a few days, she will go back to Jiuzhi Mountain, before leaving, she wants to figure out the "thousand-year-old luck", although Xuanzang said with emotion, but she always feels that it is not a good thing to be afraid.

"In this case, the old body will go back to the princess, and choose another time!" Mama Wan lowered her head and thought about it, but she was not reluctant.

The princess owes such a big favor to Shang Shang this time, and she, as a subordinate, must be more respectful to her, anyway, the post is delivered, and it is not up to her to control whether to go or not.

Sent Mama Wan out of the door, the merchant walked slowly along the bluestone path to the backyard, the stone path on both sides of the plum more than one person high has buds, as the night gradually falls, although it has not yet bloomed but has some faint fragrance, in this small courtyard at dusk Yin Yin surrounded her, very comfortable.

Although it is reasonable that the matter of the debate can end like this, it is also somewhat unexpected.

Originally, when he wanted to come to Shangshang, he was afraid that he would have to suffer some flesh and skin, but he didn't expect that the emperor only sent him to Tubo, and the rest did not mention it at all.

Shang Shang couldn't understand what made Li Zhi give up warning this Buddhist disciple who didn't follow the rules, but it was probably a good thing.

The fastest time to send an envoy to Tibet is one or two years, and the slow one is three or five years, and after such a long time, with Gao Yang's fickle nature, he may forget the debate machine.

Chang'an is prosperous, and amazing talents abound, maybe the next moment she will meet a man who makes her heart even more excited.

Just thinking of the man in the low room, although he was skinny, he was full of grace and eyes as bright as stars, but the merchant had a sigh in his heart!

"Girl! The eldest son, the second son, and the second lady are waiting for you to have dinner in the flower hall! ”

The crisp voice of the little peach came from the hanging flower door in front of him, interrupting the little melancholy in the merchant's heart.

The warm candle flame in the flower hall seemed to guide her, but in the blink of an eye, the coldness of the courtyard seemed to light up, and the fragrance of the plum blossomed like an unopened one, which warmed the hearts of the merchants.

"It's coming!" The merchant smiled and raised his voice in response, and quickened his pace and walked towards the flower hall.

Before the emperor arrived, the lights in the Zhaoyang Hall were once again not extinguished all night. The red candlelight flickered coldly in the lampshade, but the darkness three feet away was still so cold, like a panting demon, crawling where you couldn't see, waiting to pounce at any moment!

Queen Wang sat alone on the phoenix couch, her black hair hanging down behind her head, her eyes staring at the red candle with thick arms on the carved peony dressing table, and the beautiful curved neck under the slightly open collar was exposed to the cold air of the night, revealing some blue and white, like a lifeless wax man.

"Apricot Stamen! Pack up and get out of the palace! After waiting for me for so long, it's hard for you! ”

After a long time, as if she had woken up from a dream, Queen Wang said slowly.

Standing on the edge of the phoenix couch, Xingrui, who was quietly accompanying Queen Wang, was stunned for a while, and slowly knelt down.

"Mother's ----!"

"Silly boy! This palace is a cannibal! Queen Wang looked lovingly at this niece who had been with her for many years, and stretched out her hand to touch the green silk on her head.

Giving the apricot to Li Mo thought about it for a long time. Although she is only a concubine, with Li Mo's identity, it is easy to be a rich idler. Xingrui has been with her for so many years, and she always has to plan for her.

"Go ahead! Obedient! You've been with me all these years, and I've got to give you a place to go! You can't just stay in this deep palace until you die! The queen seemed to be a little tired, and after saying these words, she slowly leaned back, closed her eyes slightly, and did not move again.

Li Mo, who was wiping his sword in front of the lamp at the foot of Jiuzhi Mountain, sneezed several times in a row, and he was a little stunned when he was only wearing a cotton robe.

It's been a long time since that's been the case. Since he practiced martial arts, he was injured in the Wu Palace, and he didn't sneeze so many times that time, could it be that he felt the wind and cold?
