Chapter 68: The Feast
Ye Lin wanted to refuse, there were too many messy things in the palace, but Li Zhi told Ye Lindao that this banquet was actually a treasure medicine obtained by Empress Changsun, and he was not sure if it was useful for Ziyun's illness, so he asked Ye Lin to come and feel the palace banquet by the way.
Ye Lin was shaken when he heard the treasure medicine, although Ziyun's condition has improved little by little these days, but the speed at which the blood lingzhi is used is also very fast, I am afraid that this speed will not take more than a year, so the sooner you find the herb that replaces the blood lingzhi, the better.
You must know that the medicinal herbs of the last year are not only difficult to find, but also expensive, and the place that Ye Lin can think of is only the palace, and only by trading with Li Er like last time can he exchange for this kind of herb, Ye Lin accepted Li Zhi's invitation, and it seems that this trip to the palace is a must.
At noon, after Li Zhi finished eating, he told Ye Lin about Li Si, and repeatedly marveled at Ye Lin's arithmetic level, Ye Lin was said by the child flutteringly, and after Li Zhi left, Ye Lin looked at the invitation and laughed for a while.
In the palace, Su Qingyan and Su Lanyan were changed into dresses made of light yarn by the maids, and they found dancers to learn the dance they would use tomorrow night. The second daughter felt like a well-dressed gift, only waiting until tomorrow night to send it to the master, the second daughter who had already seen her father Su Mingyi knew very well that the fate of dozens of people in the Su family was on her, and in order to please the master who had not yet met, the second daughter was also very worried in her heart.
In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson were planning the matter of the banquet, and it was reasonable to carry out this matter, at least let Ye Lin ask for it.
On the rice paper, the eldest grandson took a pen to connect the words with arrows, and the words were: medicinal herbs, song and dance, wine, musk, and Sujia.
After the eldest grandson finished speaking, he raised his pen, put it on the first word, and asked Li Shimin: "Your Majesty thought what kind of herbs to give Ye Lin, the concubine asked Su Youwei, and there were not many herbs in the last year. ”
"I remember that there is an old ginseng for my father's birthday, just use this, I have prepared so much for this time, my father's birthday can be exchanged for other gifts, this nearly ninety years of old ginseng is enough for Ye Lin to use for a while, if the Su family's affairs are not successful, this medicinal material alone can also make him ask for me!"
After Li Shimin finished speaking, the eldest grandson wrote the word Lao Shen on rice paper, and then put the pen on the song and dance and said: "The concubine is not good at this kind of charming dance, but the dance that is too contrived with the posture of the sisters of the Su family is a bit of a painting and a snake. One Ye Lin, the other is either a concubine, or His Majesty. ”
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said: "Guanyin, come on, if I show up, I am afraid that he will be aware of it, and even if he can't detect it, he will be very restrained." ”
The eldest grandson put the pen on the wine after writing his name next to the dance, and the eldest grandson said: "It is most suitable to use Chongzhou's fruit wine, this person drank and begged for a pot at the Chongzhou Literary Conference, and after being drunk, he showed amazing literary brilliance, and won the first place in one fell swoop." ”
"Good. This wine is sweet in the mouth, and the stamina is great, which is just right" As an old drunkard, Li Er also very much agreed with the proposal of the eldest grandson.
The eldest grandson wrote the word fruit wine on the back of the wine, looked at the musk and looked up and said: "Your Majesty, although this thing has an aphrodisiac effect, but it is too slow, if the wine is stronger than the effect of the musk, then Ye Lin will only sleep in the room for one night." ”
Li Shimin frowned, just sleeping for a night I am afraid that I will not be able to achieve the desired effect, only by letting Ye Lin beg for the sake of the Su family sisters can he have the opportunity to let Ye Lin enter the court as an official.
Li Shimin opened his mouth and said: "Then use the medicine, not only for Ye Lin, but also for the sisters of the Su family, this is the safest." ”
The eldest grandson nodded, and finally the Su family, this time Li Shimin said first: "It is impossible for me to really punish the three clans of the Su family, this move is nothing more than to show them, first, to deter the family, second, to control the Su family sisters, and third, to give a warning to those who have repeatedly intervened between the family and the Tang Dynasty; The only thing I was worried about was that Ye Lin knew that I would control the Su family sisters through the Su family, and whether they would be disgusted with me. ”
"Your Majesty, it is better to exile the Su family to Chongzhou, which is now Zixuan's territory, with Ziyi and Ziyun here, Ye Lin is also closer to Zixuan," the eldest grandson suggested.
Li Shimin nodded, and the eldest grandson wrote the words medicine and Chongzhou after musk and the Su family.
After the eldest grandson finished writing, he hesitated and said, "Does Your Majesty think there is anything missing in this matter?" If not, the concubine will order it to go down. ”
Li Shimin thought for a moment and said, "Guanyin, we did miss someone, if Ye Lin didn't return all night, what if she came over?" ”
"Your Majesty is talking about Ziyi?"
Li Shimin picked up the rice paper written by the eldest grandson and read it again, and said: "I can let the people of the first and second guards stop her, but if I really want to do it, I am afraid that the girl will be desperate." ”
"The concubine is waiting for her, if Ziyi really comes, the concubine can persuade her! In addition, if something happens, the concubine can also be the first to know. ”
Li Shimin handed the rice paper to the old eunuch waiting next to him, turned around and took the eldest grandson's hand and said, "Guanyin, I have worked hard for you at night." ”
The eldest grandson said tenderly: "The concubine is the queen, and it is appropriate to do all this for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the hard work, but Your Majesty has spent countless thoughts for the Tang Dynasty." ”
While the two were talking, the old eunuch took the rice paper out of the Taiji Palace, and an invisible net was about to take shape.
