She dreamed that a pair of huge wings had grown on her back, soaring in the wind. The entire Chang'an City is prostrate at her feet, the people are as small as chess pieces, and the streets are vertical and horizontal, like the warp and weft on the chessboard.

And Daming Palace, under her feet, has completely turned into a gnatwood cage, the obese brother Li Xian has a fat belly, sitting in the center of the cage and screaming hoarsely, but she doesn't know that as long as she steps on a casual foot, she can make the cage and the gnats inside crushed at the same time.

Li Lingyue knew that she must be dreaming, because people can't fly, and Chang'an City won't be so small. However, she tried her best not to wake herself up from her dream.

After waking up, it was very boring, and Princess Taiping Li Lingyue knew.

The family was lifeless, and the children were not close to her, and the maid and servant had recently seen her, like a mouse and a cat. The only husband who can occasionally say a few intimate words, Wu Youji, has recently become obsessed with firing glass, and he lingers in the workshop outside the city all day long and does not return.

Her husband said that he wanted to vent his anger for her, so he spent a lot of money and bought an ancient recipe for firing glass from the Persian prince. Only sand is used as a raw material. According to the news that she sent her henchmen to spy on, Wang Yuanbao's side, the raw material that is used the most every day is not only peat, but also sand. It's just that Wang Yuanbao's glass business is getting more and more prosperous, and he is making money every day. And her husband Wu Youji's side, so far, the things that have been burned out are still a miserable lump.

"Princess, princess, Zen Master Hui Fan asks to see!" A gnat-like voice burrowed into her dreams. pulled her from the sky and back to the ground.

The chessboard-like city of Chang'an disappeared, and the cage of the gnat, and the gnat, also disappeared. The bed under him was as hot as a steamer, and the sweat rolling on his skin looked like dozens of insects crawling.

Without hesitation, grabbing a wooden box from the pillow, Li Lingyue closed her eyes and threw it towards the source of the sound. "Smack!" The sound of the box shattering was clear in the ears, and the call like a gnat immediately turned into a panicked apology, "The princess is angry, the maid is not deliberately disturbing you. Zen Master Hui Fan asked to see you and said that he had something important to report to you. Cui Xiang is also waiting to say goodbye to you in the flower hall! ”

"Who, Cui Xiang, does he still have the face to resign?" Princess Taiping Li Lingyue opened her eyes suddenly, and there was a cold light in her eyes.

The maidservant girl kneeling on the ground didn't dare to slack off, and carefully reported truthfully: "Yes, it was the tanuki aunt who came with him, and I heard that you were resting, so the two of them waited in the flower hall." The princess didn't want to see him, so the slave went to drive him away for the princess. ”

"Who said Motogu didn't want to see him anymore?" Princess Taiping suddenly changed her mind again, struggling to sit up, her eyebrows furious. "Keep him waiting! Where have all the people gone? Come and wait for the main palace to change clothes. ”

"Yes!" The maidservant on the ground agreed, stood up, and fled. At the same time, four maidservants walked in briskly from outside the door, fanning Princess Taiping and waiting for her to change her clothes for the guests.

Chang'an City in June is very hot, and the wind from the fan does not bring the slightest coolness. Instead, it made her sweat stickier. Princess Taiping stood up irritably, stepped on the clogs and walked out, and as soon as her feet began to move, she saw the broken wooden box and glass mirror on the ground. It was clouded again.

The wooden box and mirror are a complete set, and there are blush, mouth matchmakers, etc., the structure is very ingenious, and it is extremely convenient to carry and use. The price is said to be as high as more than ten hangings, however, she was broken by her own hands just now.

Princess Taiping didn't worry about money, especially after forcing the White Horse Sect to hand over Yicheng of the dry shares to her own name. However, she still does not have a VIP card for the Six Gods store. This sandalwood dressing box was also bought and offered to her by a nimble official under her in the spring, and he specially asked his wife to go out and buy it from the Liushen store. Although she is dismissive, she often plays with it in her hands. And today, it's smashed in a mess!

"Damn the Six Gods Firm!" Refusing to let anyone see the remorse on her face, Princess Taiping Li Lingyue cursed in her heart, strutted her head, and stepped over the fragments of the mirror. The rings clinked, and the clothes fluttered with the swing of the arms.

The maidservants didn't dare to stop them, chased them all the way out of the door, and waited for Princess Taiping to clean her face with a towel dipped in cold water. Then he took the fat powder again, and in the yard, quickly painted a light makeup for her. The coolness brought by the cold water made Princess Taiping's irritability in her heart alleviate a lot, and she turned her head to look around, she suddenly pointed her hand to the plane tree in the courtyard, and commanded loudly: "Put a low table, two chairs." Bring Hui Fan here to meet me! ”

It must be very rude to meet guests in the courtyard. However, the maidservants and servants still did not dare to admonish. They all acted according to her instructions, and after a short time, they set up the low table and chairs, and brought Hui Fan, the sect leader of the White Horse Sect, to the inner courtyard.

Na Hui Fan looked old, and his face was wrinkled like a dried cold melon leaf. However, the brain is very flexible. Seeing that Princess Taiping actually summoned herself under the plane tree, she immediately staggered forward and bowed down with a smile: "The eldest princess of Zhenguo Taiping is above, and the poor monk is so polite!" How can the poor monk dare to teach the princess to treat each other with a liquan under the sycamore tree? It's a torment, a torment! ”

"Huh?" Princess Taiping was slightly stunned, and then smiled like a flower.

Legend has it that the phoenix is the king of birds, not bamboo, not food, not sycamore, not drink. According to this point of view, she invited guests to tea under the plane tree, not only was she dismissive, but she was particularly respectful of the guests.

"This tree is contaminated with the blessing of phoenixes, and there is a faint auspicious atmosphere steaming on it!" The old monk Huifan's eloquence was really amazing, and after resolving his embarrassment, he continued to praise with a smile, "The poor monk was originally hot and sweaty on the road before, and when he first came to the tree, he felt that the cool breeze penetrated his body, and he was fluttering. ”

"The Zen master really speaks." Princess Taiping knew that Hui Fan was patting her ass, but she also felt that the hot feeling all over her body quickly subsided, faintly, as if there was really a little wind through her clothes, drying the sweat on her body.

"Amitabha, monks never speak!" The highest level of sycophants is to take nonsense as the truth, Huifan folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name lightly.

When Princess Taiping heard this, she felt more and more comfortable in her heart. Smiled and pointed to the chair opposite and ordered Hui Fan to take a seat. Then he ordered the maidservants to pour tea for the master to relieve the heat.

It is not the first time that Monk Huifan has dealt with Princess Taiping, and he has already figured out her temperament. Therefore, I was not too polite, thanked him, and sat down calmly.

The two sides talked a few more nonsense, and then slowly pulled the conversation back to the point. Na Hui Fan stood up again and slowly saluted Princess Taiping, "The poor monk is ashamed, this time I came here to report to the princess of the town mayor, and the White Horse Sect has unanimously decided to accept the conditions of the devil in order to avoid its edge." Although the move is ......"

"What?" Although she had a vague hint of preparation in her heart, Princess Taiping didn't expect that the White Horse Sect would be so fast. After a while, he blurted out the questioning words, "Sixty thousand hanging, your sect won't hesitate?" Even if you are doing business, you have to have a room for bargaining, right? What's more, he also asked Guizong to hand over ten high-ranking monks with the word "Lao" at a time to go to prison. If your sect also agrees to come down, and next time you want to deal with him, who in the sect is willing to take on this important responsibility? ”

"The eldest princess asked very much, and the poor monk was so ashamed that he was almost embarrassed at this moment!" Before coming, Monk Huifan had already done enough homework, so he blushed and bowed deeply, and explained in an unwilling but helpless tone: "However, the demon flame is too strong, and our sect can only seek to preserve the vitality first, hoping that the time is ripe in the future, and then the shame of today." ”

"The Demon Flame is too strong? Didn't he rely on Shuo Fangjun to support him behind his back? Princess Taiping's eyes widened, and she pouted again and again with disdain, "He is already on his way back to Chang'an, and that old thief can't send a team of soldiers and horses to protect him every day." The one in the palace, the Holy One will not allow anyone to mobilize the border army without authorization! ”

"What the princess said, of course my sect also thought about it." Hui Fan sighed and continued to add helplessly, "But what my sect is afraid of is not the border army. ”

"It's not a border army, what are you afraid of?" Princess Taiping frowned, and the disappointment on her face was clearly visible, "Last time you said that you wanted to shake hands with him and make peace, this palace thought that it was to take a step back, and it just so happened that this palace also had no time to be distracted at that time, so I didn't object." Unexpectedly, he opened his mouth. Since he doesn't want to give face, don't blame ......"

"Princess, please listen to the poor monk. That demon is only suitable for outwitting, not for subduing it with force! Hui Fan suddenly became bolder, and before Princess Taiping finished her plan, she interrupted in a low voice: "The first time this sect dealt with him, I thought it would be a sure victory, but he summoned a fire meteor out of thin air!" This sect dealt with him for the second time, and used nearly a thousand mountain thieves, and he was determined to win. As a result, he suddenly took out an invulnerable iron armor in his hand, and thousands of border troops appeared out of thin air around him! Five days ago, Benzong made his last move, and before Zhao Protector could kill him, he suddenly took out a magic weapon, and with a "boom", he beat Zhao Protector's chest to pieces. If this sect does not agree to his conditions and continues to make a move, the princess, the poor monk really doesn't know, what kind of magic weapon he will come up with! ”

These are his heartfelt words. In terms of the power behind it, now there is only one Zhang Qian who is clearly on Zhang Qian's side, and one Bi Gou cannot be compared with the two princesses standing behind the White Horse Sect. In terms of the power in his hands, the White Horse Sect can mobilize no less than 500,000 hangs, and as long as the time is sufficient, there are thousands of bandits and government soldiers who can be bought. In terms of substance, although the White Horse Sect has changed its name several times, it has always been an important branch of Buddhism, and the future master of the sect has not appeared for thousands of years......

However, no one in the White Horse Sect, including some "highly respected" Zen masters in Buddhism, could not imagine how many "magic weapons" and killing moves there were in Zhang Qian's hands that had not been seen by everyone!

"Hmm-" Princess Taiping frowned, distraught again.

Although, it was the White Horse Sect that came forward to make peace with Zhang Qian, from beginning to end, no one would mention her. However, if she agrees that the White Horse Sect will shake hands with Zhang Qian, her prestige will inevitably suffer a heavy blow. Especially in the eyes of her followers, her invincible image will definitely be covered with a layer of dust.

However, if the conflict continues, the result is just as Hui Fan said, no one can figure out how many killing moves and magic weapons Zhang Qian can come up with! Although those killing moves and magic weapons will not hurt her for the time being. However, if they fail to do so again and again, they will lose their troops and lose their generals, which will definitely seriously damage the morale of their own side, and even cause some people to deviate from morality.

"Princess, the poor monk knows that this is very wronged. However, that Zhang Qian is the most powerful demon that the poor monk has ever seen in his life. Fearing that Princess Taiping would be stubborn and affect the interests of other parties, Hui Fan hesitated for a moment, and suddenly lowered his voice very low, "The body of Zhao Protector was specially examined by the sect. The sternum, internal organs, and even the spine were shattered, almost breaking the body in two. This kind of injury, to put it mildly, is equivalent to being directly smashed head-on by the siege vertebrae, which is definitely not something that human beings can do! ”

"Nonsense, it's rare and weird! Exaggerating! Alarmist! Princess Taiping Li Lingyue shuddered in her heart when she heard this, and a series of roars blurted out. What good things can you find in that kind of country place? He was frightened when he saw the corpse, and naturally he was terrible. If so......"

Hui Fan didn't dare to talk any more nonsense, took three steps back, stood quietly, and recited the scriptures silently in his heart. After reciting a copy of the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra twenty times, my ears finally regained their purity.

"Princess, this sect has lost seven temples. Dedicated to the saint of 400,000 hangings, but only in exchange for the release of the poor monk from the prison, home introspection! Secretly glancing at Princess Taiping's face, Hui Fan said another dilemma faced by the White Horse Sect, and there was a bit of resentment in his voice.

"Are you blaming, this palace took a hundred percent of your shares, but failed to protect you?" Princess Taiping immediately keenly noticed that Hui Fan was expressing her disappointment in herself in disguise, and on her white powdered face, dark clouds rolled, "You can withdraw from this palace, you can take it back yourself." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare! The poor monk had no such intention, and the princess misunderstood the poor monk! "It's even more anxious than being burned ten temples by others, and on Hui Fan's forehead, beads of sweat are rolling, "The poor monk just stated, even if this sect wants to continue to be the enemy of that demon Zhang Qian, it will be difficult to sustain his strength. So ......"

"You don't have to make excuses, Hongu agreed!" Princess Taiping suddenly gritted her teeth and interrupted in a deep voice. "The money belongs to your White Horse Sect, and the people are also your White Horse Sect's, and your White Horse Sect is willing to admit it, so why should this palace stop it."

"Thank you, princess!" Hui Fan was overjoyed in an instant, and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat. "But, from now on, the princess's side ......"

"This palace will not send anyone to do anything with him again!" It had long been expected that Hui Fan would ask his side to act in unison, Princess Taiping sneered and nodded, "This palace has a way to deal with him, and there is no need to send someone to fight him head-on." You can go, Hongu is tired and needs to be quiet! ”

"The poor monk thanks the public for your forgiveness, and the poor monk retires!" The stone in Hui Fan's heart finally landed, saluted again, and turned to leave. The moment I walked out of the inner courtyard door, my footsteps suddenly stumbled, and I almost fell into a!

Li Lingyue, the princess of Taiping, did not feel pity for Huifan at all. Wheezing, he grabbed the teacup and poured the tea into his stomach cup after cup.

The maidservants and servants were frightened and silent. just continued to add water and tea for her, but no one dared to persuade her. It wasn't until the sun outside the courtyard set in the treetops that I finally heard the wheezing of my hostess and regained my composure.

"Call Cui Xiang and the tanuki over!" After regaining her calm, Princess Taiping first ordered her personal maid to re-make herself, and then ordered with a smile.

"Yes!" The maidservants promised to call for someone, and in a short time they brought in those who needed it. Princess Taiping changed her irritability in the afternoon, first smiled and accepted the greetings of Cui Xiang and Tanuki, and then pointed to the opposite side with her hand, "Cui Tingshi, please take a seat." Come on, move a chair for the tanuki too! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, in front of the princess, how can there be a seat for Cui (slave?!" Cui Xiang and Tanuki were both flattered, and waved their hands again and again.

Princess Taiping insisted that the two of them sit down, until the new chair was moved, and both of them sat on a corner of the chair with their buttocks, and then said softly: "There is something important in the palace in the afternoon, so I will keep you two waiting for a long time." That is, his own people, knowing that the two of you will not be blamed, this palace dares to do this. Otherwise, I have to send someone to inform you and ask you to come back tomorrow. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the princess's words have tormented the officials!"

"Princess, the servant is willing!"

Cui Xiang and Tanuki both stood up again, blushing and making a statement. From head to toe, there is not the slightest dissatisfaction after being left out.

Very satisfied with the attitude of the two, Princess Taiping Li Lingyue thought about it and continued to say softly: "This time the imperial brother is angry with Chenglan, which is really a bit unexpected. When the palace gets the news, it is completely too late to try to mediate. Therefore, he can only temporarily let Chenglan suffer some grievances. Fortunately, Xiangzhou is not too far from Chang'an. Cheng Lan is in the assassination history, as long as he makes a little move, he will be easily known by the imperial brother. Then maybe one day there will be a chance to return to the court. (Note: Cheng Lan, Cui Xiang's table words)

"Thank you for the encouragement of the eldest princess, I will definitely live up to the princess's expectations!" Knowing that she was degraded out of Chang'an this time, in addition to Li Xian's intentional suppression, Princess Taiping did not try her best to protect herself, which was also one of the main reasons. However, Cui Xiang still stood up for the third time and expressed his attitude respectfully.

"You wait patiently for my good news!" Princess Taiping wanted to teach Cui Xiang a lesson, lest this person forget where the wealth came from, so she smiled and promised in a low voice, "This time, I will let Aunt Tanuki follow you." First, she is meticulous and ingenious and can take care of you closely. Second, I can also help you deliver the news to me in time. ”

"Thank you princess for arranging, the lower officials are grateful!" Cui Xiang had long known that his opposition would not be effective, so he surrendered his fate.

"She's an outer chamber though. went to Xiangzhou, but you can't let your wife bully him. Otherwise, this palace will definitely not follow! Princess Taiping, who suddenly became the elder of the tanuki again, smiled and admonished.

Aunt Tanuki's face turned red, she bowed her head and was silent, looking at her appearance, as if she had really become Cui Xiang's concubine, and forgot the task she shouldered. And Cui Xiang sighed secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he only dared to respectfully assure, "Although the princess can rest assured, the official treats the tanuki aunt, and it has always been exactly the same as the wife." Even if she goes to another place, she will never be despised in the slightest. ”

"That's good, that's good, then, this palace will be relieved!" Princess Taiping smiled, and touched her chest with her hand with a kind face. Immediately, he stood up again, came to the side of the tanuki girl, and gently grabbed the other party's wrist, "You have served this palace for many years, and you know what the temper of this palace is." If you are in a hurry, you can't control it and hit you a few times, which is inevitable. But every time Hongu beats you, I regret it in my heart......"

"The princess has tormented the slave!" The tanuki girl's eyes were red, she knelt down with tears, and hugged Princess Taiping's thighs with both hands, "Slave maid, slave maid is the princess's person, whether she is beaten or rewarded, it is the princess's grace." The slave and maid only hate, and cannot be divided into two, leaving half by the princess's side and serving the princess at any time. Slave ......"

As she spoke, the reluctance in her heart flooded, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

When Princess Taiping saw this, her eyes began to redden. lowered his head, first wiped the tears from the face of the tanuki girl with his fingers, and then pulled the person up again, "If you don't say this, if you don't say this, it's like you'll never see you again in this palace." This ......"

Raising her hand, she took a golden phoenix from her head, and she couldn't help but say and inserted it into the tanuki's bun, "This, you bring it, make a self-defense." Whoever dares to bully you in the future will show him this. ”

The phoenix is a special symbol for the royal daughter, although the court's ban on the people is not so strict, but there are still very few daughters of big families who dare to wear the golden phoenix out of the house. When he landed, he moved the tanuki to the point that his body was weak, and he cried and knelt down while refusing.

Princess Taiping grabbed her and ordered with tears in her eyes: "Don't kneel, and don't cry again." Today, this palace will give you a phoenix hairpin to thank you for your hard work over the years. If you want to kneel, you have to wait for you to accompany Chenglan back to Chang'an, at that time, he will get the title and can have more than one wife. This palace will give you another set of phoenix crown xia veil, so that you can enter the door of his house in a beautiful manner! ”

The implied blessing in this sentence is too high. Tang men can usually only marry one formal wife, and other women can only be concubines when they marry into the family. But for those who have a title, under the wife and above the concubine, they can also marry one or several more wins. And, in case the husband makes a great contribution and makes his wife a shadow, Ying can also get a knighthood like his wife.

Immediately, Cui Xiang also had some expectations in his heart. Clasped his hands into fists and sincerely thanked Princess Taiping. And the princess Taiping let go of the tanuki girl's hand with a smile, and asked him softly, "Thank me, I don't need to." Hongu heard that the Cui family has recently opened a lot of peat mines, and the income is quite considerable. I don't know if this palace can be qualified, and send someone to learn from the Cui family? ”

"This ......" It was like a thunderclap suddenly heard on a sunny day, and Cui Xiang was slashed into the Venus in front of him. After a long time, he stubbornly surrendered: "Princess, please bear the humility of your duties." Although Cui's has been in the peat business since last winter, he has no contact with the other two. Humble himself ......"

"Okay, it's just a joke, who doesn't know that your Cui family has a big business and needs some money to make up for the shortfall! Rest assured, this palace will not rob your family of this hard-earned money! Princess Taiping suddenly smiled and shook her head, and then slowly discussed with Cui Xiang: "As for who you associate with, this palace has never interfered. However, there is a good plan here in the main palace to wash away the shame of the humiliation of the day. However, this strategy was too crude, and Hongu was unable to implement it. Cui Tingshi, I don't know if you are willing to help this palace plan in detail and implement this strategy?! ”

"This-" As if hearing another muffled thunder, Cui Xiang's face was pale, and a large cold sweat fell from his forehead.

Princess Taiping didn't force him to express her position immediately, but just took Aunt Tanuki's hand and waited patiently on the side. Until, the afterglow of the setting sun was completely engulfed in darkness.

When the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness, Cui Xiang finally made up his mind. Laughing miserably, he arched his hand and solemnly swore: "Princess, please show me a good plan." Humble position, willing to make every effort to plan the specific implementation details for the princess, and never disappoint the princess! ”
