Drunken Immortal Building.

Yang Yun and Li Mao drank tea in the private room on the second floor, and the atmosphere was dull.

Yang Yun wanted to divert the topic several times and let Li Mao develop in a positive, healthy and positive direction, but found that it was to no avail, and after a while, Li Mao entered a state of daze again.

Yang Yun felt that Li Mao didn't seem to be coming to talk to him about things, but more like looking for a place to hide and be quiet, and it didn't make much difference whether he, the master, was not present or not.

"Could it be that this kid has experienced emotional setbacks and is suffering from depression?" Yang Yun secretly wondered.

Yang Yun sat on pins and needles, and simply went downstairs to ask the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch for Li Mao, and soon the wine and food were on the table, and the whole private room was filled with the aroma of wine and food, but Li Mao had no interest in moving chopsticks, and sat there in reverie.

Just when Yang Yun didn't know what to do, Princess Xianyi's voice suddenly came from outside: "Boss Yang, where did you hide my eighteenth brother?" ”

With a smile in her words, probably Princess Xianyi knew that Yang Yun and Li Mao were in the private room, so she would say so.

Yang Yun pushed open the door of the private room, and saw Princess Xianyi wearing a brocade robe and a golden crown, standing outside in men's clothes, with a smile on her face, much more relaxed than Li Mao.

"Why did the princess come?"

Yang Yun looked around and found that Princess Xianyi also went upstairs alone, probably leaving her entourage downstairs or outside.

Yang Yun shook his head.

The two brothers and sisters have similar personalities, they don't like the shelves of the royal family and nobles, and they usually keep a low profile as much as possible when they go in and out of some places in the capital, not wanting to attract the attention of others.

Princess Xianyi glanced into the private room, and saw that Li Mao didn't even mean to get up to greet her, her expression was slightly displeased, and she asked, "Eighteen brothers, do you know that I am here, are you unhappy?" If not, I'll go. ”

Li Mao said listlessly: "Xianyi, what are you doing?" It's all here, let's come in and have a meal together. ”

Princess Xianyi glanced at Yang Yun with a strange gaze, and then stepped into the private room, and sat directly by the window in the south without asking Li Mao and Yang Yun's opinions.

"There are chicken, duck, fish, and wine, it's really hearty...... Hmph, it seems that I am not as good as my brother and can be favored by someone. Princess Xianyi was a little dissatisfied in her words, probably because she felt that the dishes served by Yang Yun when she entertained her in the past were too shabby.

But in fact, the two are completely different, when Yang Yun greeted Princess Xianyi, it was basically a novel dish, focusing on the pursuit of deliciousness. Greeting Li Mao is more direct, with big fish and meat, which is also related to the fact that the spring flowers are blooming now, and fresh river fresh can be bought in the wells of Luoyang City.

Yang Yun smiled and said nothing, sat down next to the two, and Li Mao next to him said, "Xianyi, don't embarrass Brother Yang...... He knew that I was in a bad mood, so he specially prepared a table of wine and food, since you are here, let's eat together, it's better to say less when you are angry, it hurts your feelings! ”

In his words, he already called Yang Yun a brother and a brother, and he didn't treat Yang Yun as an outsider at all.

When Princess Xianyi heard her brother's address to Yang Yun, she couldn't help frowning slightly, glanced at Yang Yun obliquely, and her eyes seemed to say, "What kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into my brother?" ”

"I have long known that my brother is in a bad mood, and I can't help but express my sister's natural condition, I specially invited a singing and dancing team from Yangzhou, and now I have arrived in the verdant small residence, as long as my brother goes back, I can see ...... I hope my brother can get drunk and relieve his sorrows. ”

Princess Xianyi said with a smile.

Yang Yun was a little surprised, and immediately understood that Princess Xianyi was considering that Li Mao was hurt, so she simply found a lot of Jiangnan girls for Li Mao to come back at one time, saying that it was "a drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows", it is better to let Li Mao indulge in the gentle township and heal the scars in her heart.

"Oh!"

Li Mao was not interested in other women at all, just responded casually, and continued to enter a trance.

Princess Xianyi didn't get good feedback from her brother, her expression sank again, and she glared at Yang Yun angrily, then she withdrew her gaze, picked up the wine glass, and said, "When you arrive at someone's restaurant, how can you not drink?" Come on, come on, eighteen brothers, don't think about anything else, my sister will do it first as a respect......"

……

……

The arrival of Princess Xianyi seemed to add some vitality to the banquet, but it could not arouse Li Mao's interest at all, and Li Mao continued to be in a daze as if no one was around.

Originally, Princess Xianyi still wanted to make Li Mao happy, but after working hard for a long time, she didn't see any results, so she simply gave up this idea and even put down the wine glass.

Before, Yang Yun tried to persuade Li Mao to look away, but now that Princess Xianyi is here, she can't continue the topic, and after a while, Princess Xianyi glared at Yang Yun, as if she wanted Yang Yun to say a few words.

Yang Yun also began to pretend to be confused at this time, deliberately taking it as a hint that he couldn't understand Princess Xianyi.

"If we are full of wine and food, why don't we go out of the city for a tour and consume food?" Princess Xianyi suggested with a smile.

Li Mao came back to her senses, smiled reluctantly, and said, "I still have something to do, so I can't accompany you on a trip, so I'll leave first...... Xianyi, don't always bother Brother Yang, he has just arrived in the court, and he has a lot of things to do, so he can't delay the right thing for you and me. ”

At this time, Li Mao was still thinking about others, and after getting up, he went out directly and went downstairs.

Princess Xianyi wanted to chase her out, but seeing that Yang Yun had no intention of sending her off, she didn't go downstairs in any anger and let Li Mao leave.

……

……

"You'd be fine, treat yourself like you're nobody."

As soon as Li Mao left, Princess Xianyi's pot of water seemed to be boiling, and she roared angrily at Yang Yun.

Yang Yun looked indifferent and asked, "King Shou is in such a state, and it is also very painful to be in the bottom, but many things must be seen, what can I do with my ability?" ”

Yang Yun means that King Shou came to me for no reason, I invited him to dinner, and I explained, completely fulfilled the obligations of a friend, you can't be demanding in everything, why don't you explain him yourself if you have the ability?

Princess Xianyi exhaled angrily: "My eighteenth brother has fallen to this point today, don't say that it has nothing to do with you, he treats people with sincerity, and he doesn't know how to harm people, but ......what about you?"

Yang Yun spread his hands and didn't reply, as if asking, I will hurt people when I hear what you mean?

"Alas!"

In the end, Princess Xianyi sighed helplessly.

Obviously, she also understands that Li Mao has nothing to do with anyone when she is in this position today, she can only say that Li Mao's temperament is too weak to withstand the wind and waves.

Maybe it's because young boys and girls care too much about things they love and love, and they don't care about the gains and losses of interests, which is also related to Li Mao's growth environment, she grew up in a greenhouse, and she doesn't need to worry about food and clothing, so she feels like the sky is falling after a little blow.

"Since the princess has come to comfort King Shou, now that King Shou has left, why should she stay?" Yang Yun's tone was a little cold when he asked this question, and he had the meaning of issuing an eviction order.

Princess Xianyi glanced at Yang Yun and said, "I'm not welcome to come?" Now I have something to discuss with you, can't I? ”

Yang Yun smiled, he didn't think that Princess Xianyi was really in the mood to talk to him about business, she should just find an excuse.

Unexpectedly, Princess Xianyi really had something to tell Yang Yun: "I heard that today the court is discussing the matter of sending troops to the Turks, and now there is a lot of rumors in the wells of Luoyang City, and now the Turkic envoys have not left, and suddenly make such a loud noise, is there any intention?" ”

Yang Yun shook his head, indicating that he was at a loss.

"Don't tell me that you don't know anything, although you have just arrived in the court, you are very knowledgeable, and you know the current situation in Datang better than anyone else...... I'd like to hear what you really think. ”

Princess Xianyi said with a serious face.

Yang Yun thought about how to phrase it, and then asked, "The Turks are also divided into many factions, and they are constantly fighting against each other...... This time, the imperial court said that it would send troops, which tribe was it crusading against? ”

Princess Xianyi seemed to be inspired, her eyes widened: "Do you want to say that the reason why the wind and rain are so small at present is that the imperial court is putting pressure on the grassland tribes and surrendering without a fight?" ”

Yang Yun smiled and said that he didn't say anything.

"But the question is...... The father and emperor are not in charge, but the courtiers are to talk about sending troops, who will be responsible for the problem? Aren't you very capable? Can't guess how this will turn out? ”

Princess Xianyi asked nonchalantly.

Yang Yun asked rhetorically: "Why does the princess care so much about sending troops to the grassland?" It stands to reason that this matter has nothing to do with the princess, isn't Concubine Hui very concerned about this, what do you want to do about it? ”

Princess Xianyi heard Yang Yun mention her mother, her face was slightly displeased, but she still patiently explained: "As a member of the royal family, how can you not care about national affairs? Especially now that my father is in retreat, we children should stand up and be brave in our work...... As a servant, you also have the responsibility of supervising the work of the courtiers and regulating the behavior, and it is your duty for me to talk to you. ”

Yang Yun really wanted to say, I can't afford to wear such a big hat down, you want to engage in conspiracy, don't involve me, don't think that I don't know that the court has broken up into two factions now, and I am intending to attack each other through this matter.

Yang Yun said: "The princess and I are here to talk about state affairs, it is of little significance, whether the court will send troops or not, and how the troops will be dispatched, the meeting is still ongoing, who can say?" Why didn't the princess go and supervise on behalf of Her Majesty? Although I am a servant of the imperial history, no one takes me seriously when I first arrive, and I don't even know what I am responsible for in the yamen, so I ...... To have one’s hands tied. ”

Listening to Yang Yun's words, Princess Xianyi squinted her eyes and looked at it, as if she wanted to see Yang Yun through.

"Then let me tell you directly, in fact, my mother knows that there is no one in charge of the court now, and she wants to use my eighteenth brother to come out to participate in government affairs, if she can show something...... For example, let him come up with the correct strategy for sending troops, etc., even if he helps him, so that my father can be impressed and help him achieve great things. ”

Princess Xianyi said to Yang Yun sincerely and seriously.

Yang Yun didn't have the heart to doubt the truth of this statement.

Although Concubine Wu Hui is not a queen, she has always regarded herself as a queen, and the status of women in the Tang Dynasty is very high, how can she not want to take care of court affairs if she has the heart of a queen?

Find out how Wu Zetian got to the top at the beginning!

Especially in the case of Li Longji's retreat and cultivation ignoring the government and politics, Concubine Wu Hui wants to show that it is natural to take advantage of the fact that the competition between the two major factions of Li Linfu and Zhang Jiuling is now heating up, and it is a natural thing to make profits from it.

Yang Yun shook his head and said, "Even if I can give advice to King Shou, with King Shou's current state, how to participate in court affairs?" Dare to ask, who in the DPRK and China will listen to his opinion? Zhang Linggong or Li Xilang? ”

This is just a simple question, but the meaning is very clear, the key to the problem now is the struggle between Zhang Jiuling and Li Linfu, which side does Concubine Hui want to stand on?

Do you want to muddy the waters?
