The victory of the Eastern Expedition, the Empress Wu feasted the ministers and nobles in Taoguang Garden to celebrate the event.

This battle hero and the prime minister, the imperial history, the Hanlin scholar and other royal ministers are in the same column, the power is sorted according to the official title, and he sits in the back row steadily, and he has already handed over his errand, and returned to the sensitive place of the heart of the divine capital, it is not good to be like in wartime, to engage in power with an iron fist, and to suppress Wu Sansi and others.

As long as the war is won, everything is easy to say, and this god is not a place where only reason and ability are recognized.

Princess Taiping's seat, even higher, second only to the imperial heir Li Dan, she slowed down, after seeing the etiquette, the Empress Wu raised a toast, busy interacting with the important ministers, the banquet was joyful, there was no meaning to make the power to sit down, so he signaled behind him, and the little eunuch with his own eyebrows and eyes went to the bottom with small steps, and asked Quan Ce to move his seat in a low voice.

Quan Ce is a tall one, even if the cat is brisk and brisk, the goal is still very big, the excitement in the hall is like a plague chicken that has been choked by the throat, the voice plummets, and many people's eyes follow him openly or secretly, seeing him sit down on the side of Princess Taiping, and was pulled by Princess Taiping to the front of the case with her side by side, before continuing to bustle again.

Princess Taiping's pampering of Quan Ce, as we all know, is nothing new.

"Met your fiancée? Killing so many of her clansmen, I'm afraid I want to hate you to the bone? Princess Taiping's voice was strange, a little worried, and a little gloating, and she took a wine jug to fill him with wine.

The wine pulp is clear, the aroma is rich, Quan Ce knew that it was Jiannan Burning Spring when he smelled it, fought in the white mountains and black waters, dealt with the tribal vassals, and had to follow the customs of the villagers, and drank all the three syrup, except for the spicy and stinging throat, it was useless, smelling the hometown wine, the Adam's apple squirmed unconsciously, and his face was slightly astringent, "Aunt said and laughed, public is public, private is private, Yunxi can distinguish clearly"

Listening to his address to Princess Yunxi, Princess Taiping pulled the corners of her mouth, as if she was smiling, "Since you are back, you can restrain Chongxing and follow Shangguan Wan'er's ass every day, and you don't lose your physique."

Quan Ce smiled and didn't answer, and raised his glass to drink.

"Shangguan Wan'er is good to you, but she is too careful" Princess Taiping glared at him, picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with him, raised her head and drank it all, sighing faintly, "The people who impeached you because you left Beijing that day were all small officials, and she disposed of it, not eye-catching, but Zong Chuke is different, he is Wu Sansi's confidant, the nephew of the mother emperor, it is already hasty to take him out, and he wants to take advantage of the situation to push Di Guangyuan to the throne, his deeds are too clear, it is difficult to ensure that he is not suspicious, you are good to mention her"

"Wan'er is shrewd, no need to mention it" Quan Ce wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth, and floated his gaze to the side of Empress Wu, and Shangguan Wan'er was separated by a touch, Shangguan Wan'er acted poorly, probably because he was not there, he was too worried, and he lost his normal heart, he came back, and everything would be fine.

Princess Taiping saw the interaction between the two of them in her eyes, and suddenly felt surrounded by sour water, unable to extricate herself, snorted coldly, stood up, and became louder, "Da Lang, you want to enter the Lintoe Palace as an official, and you also have to be a master of Wen Chongrun, the imperial brother is your uncle, and you can see it often, but you have never seen it, speaking of which, you are nearly ten years older than him, come with me to meet him."

The close ministers and nobles around the throne turned their eyes to it again.

Quan Ce then got up and bowed down, he didn't complain, he should come, sooner or later.

Princess Taiping took his hand down the stairs, and walked straight to the right side of the throne, a few desks in the second row, sitting a man and four women, not very old, the man is handsome, the woman is pretty, the posture is outstanding, and the dress is dressed with nobility, but the mood is slightly shrunk, full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and the entertainment is intensive, they just stay silently, like outsiders.

As soon as Princess Taiping arrived, the people around stood up, and the four men and four women also stood up, timidly, Princess Taiping stretched out her hand and gestured slightly, but she was not very close, "Chongrun, this is your cousin of the Quan family, and he will also be your master Wen in the future."

Li Chongrun looked up at Quan Ce, and bowed his hand, Li Xianhui was older, pulled his younger siblings, and bowed on his knees, "I've seen my cousin, Xianhui often heard her cousin's literary name in Fangzhou, and today I saw my cousin's martial arts again, and we sisters and sisters are all admired."

"Quan Ce doesn't dare to be" Quan Ce turned sideways slightly, bowed down and returned the salute, these people are not knighted at the moment, but they are serious emperors and granddaughters, and their status is noble, and it is not good for them to be saluted.

The two sides met here, next to the throne, the emperor's heir Li Dan was as happy as a Maitreya Buddha, and the sons behind him, Li Chengqi, Li Longfan and Li Longji, all had complicated expressions, and the atmosphere in the banquet was also delicate.

"Cousin, you are a general, can you let me ride a big horse?" A crisp question, from Li Bao'er's red and bright cherry mouth.

"Wrapped" Li Xianhui hurriedly called.

"Presumptuous" Princess Taiping had a gloomy face and scolded sharply, "Dalang Imperial Family Blood, Great Zhou Hero, how can you be insulted?" Who taught you? ”

Princess Taiping was furious, there was a quiet place in all directions, the martial queen was high and silent, and in the sequence of heroes, even Wu Yizong and Yan Zhiwei, who were not with Quan Ce, had ugly faces.

"Aunt is angry, childish words are unscrupulous, she is young and ignorant of reason, and she is far away from the border, she doesn't know the rules of God, Xu is unintentional" Quan Ce looked at this little girl who was too beautiful to speak, on the surface she was pleading for Li Bao'er, but secretly she was derogating her, the little girl was arrogant and arrogant, and she would not be able to bear this breath.

Sure enough, a blush of anger piled up on Li Bao'er's white and tender cheeks, jumped three feet high, and cried sharply, "You are just a general, a third-grade official, my father gave me a big horse, what's so great about a general?" I'm going to let you ride me on a horse...... Woowoo"

No matter how Li Xianhui and Li Chongrun appeased, Li Bao'er just ignored it, crying and making trouble, and the scene was out of control.

"Uh-huh" Empress Wu coughed lightly, and everyone held their breath, only Li Bao'er, who was arrogant and indulgent, and cried non-stop.

Quan Ce took a step forward and spoke first, "Your Majesty, the minister is a little unwell, please retire first."

Empress Wu took a long breath, stared at him for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement, "It's okay, you go, the expedition is hard, I will allow you to take a vacation for half a month, and after the expiration of the period, you will enter the court to perform your duties."

"Minister, thank Your Majesty for your grace" Quan Ce thanked for the grace and breathed a sigh of relief, it's good to have time, what he lacks most now is time, and sort out the disturbances of this divine capital.

"Mother, my daughter will take care of her nephew" Princess Gao'an has not seen Quan Ce for a long time, and she panicked, but now she saw that Quan Ce was humiliated and retired, and she couldn't hold it back immediately.

"Go, go, Yiyang too" Empress Wu waved her hand, not caring much.

Princess Gao'an and Princess Yiyang accompanied Quan Ce to leave Taoguang Garden slowly.

Quan Ce turned around in front of the door, glanced at the back row on the right, and saw the pink carved Li Bao'er, who was staring at him with round black eyes, looking at him hatefully, Quan Ce smiled apologetically, Li Bao'er Qiong's nose wrinkled, and turned her head angrily, this beam is over.

It is he who deliberately does it to gain room and sympathy for his future actions.

It's just that he took advantage of a little girl, but he lost his grace.

Li Bao'er, I'm sorry, I can't ride a big horse, everything else is easy to discuss, and I won't let you cry in vain.
