Chapter 234: Hunting the Wild Goose (I)
Guangcheng Garden, located in the territory of Ruzhou in the east of Luoyang, because there is a big lake Guangchengze, then named Guangcheng Garden, since the beginning of the Han Dynasty is one of the famous royal hunting grounds, and Shanglin Yuan and said, north by the towering Song Mountain, south by the vast barberry, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and many hot springs, birds, beasts, insects and fish are extremely rich, Tang Gaozu, Taizong have been here several times, in the early years, when Gaozong was still in good health, it is every midsummer must bring the queen to Guangchengyuan Palace to hunt for summer vacation, but in recent years because of the aggravation of wind disease, it has rarely come again, however, In particular, more than 100 eunuchs and palace maids are in the palace, in case of emergency, and more than 300 Yulin troops are stationed here, thinking that they are vigilant, of course, these are just empty decorations, the holy car has not been there for many years, these people are just some forgotten people, on weekdays, they are eating and waiting to die, and the rules and the like are lax, but today is a little abnormal - early in the morning, all the Guangcheng Yuan gathered at the entrance of the garden, not only that, One by one, they all wore new clothes that they were reluctant to wear in the past, and everyone was in high spirits and high spirits, all because King Li Xian and the Taiping Princesses came.
Princess Taiping doesn't care at all whether she comes or not, even if she is a princess, and she is the most beloved princess of Gaozong and Empress Wu, for the people of Guangchengyuan who are eager to change their fate, it is not very useful, after all, her age is too young, but Li Xian, who has opened the mansion and built a government, is different, if you can let Li Xian see the right eye, maybe you can rise to the top, this is not a plain fantasy, not to mention anything else, the deputy warden of the British Prince's Mansion Lin Chengbin who stands at the top of everyone is not the best example, Just a prisoner of war, not because he was pulled out of the sludge by Li Xian, it was only less than half a year, and he was already a high-ranking official from the fourth grade, no one would not envy this kind of luck, not only those ordinary pawns, even the eunuch Liu Kai, the chief eunuch of the palace, and the guerrilla general Cheng Xuan, the two highest officials of Guangchengyuan, looked at Lin Chengbin with their eyes full of unconcealable jealousy, of course, jealousy is jealousy, but no one dares to come forward to provoke, not only dare not be disrespectful, but also have to stutter vigorously, nothing else, can you get in touch with the incomparably noble Li Xian, but it all falls on this Lin deputy pawn.
Listening to the endless flattery of the people around him, and feeling the jealous or envious eyes of everyone, Lin Chengbin seemed to be really intoxicated, his face was full of reserved smiles, and he looked high, but in fact, he was extremely calm in his heart, and he never took those so-called sycophants seriously, in fact, the reason why these people are so low is all due to Lin Chengbin's clever arrangement - a group of palace guards who stood in front of the palace deliberately revealed some plausible secrets, In order to arouse everyone's enthusiasm to climb up, so that these gray grandsons all folded their spirits and went all out to meet Li Xian's big car, so as to cover the private preparations of the other party, and now, things have generally been done, and those people are no longer caring about Lin Chengbin no matter how they behave.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
"Quick, quick, play, play!"
……
A team of cavalry turned out from the cliff outside Li Xu with various banners, and the people of Guangchengyuan, who were originally laughing with Lin Chengbin, were in a big chaos, and in the midst of all kinds of noise, the drum gang that had already been ready immediately blew hard, and in the sound of horns, a team of red-clothed cavalry escorted a dozen carriages and slowly marched to the gate of the palace.
"The last general will welcome His Royal Highness the King and Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping."
As soon as the carriage stopped, Lin Chengbin had already led everyone forward, and they each bowed and saluted.
"It's finally here, Seventh Brother, hurry up!"
Lin Chengbin and the others saw that the ceremony was not finished, and as soon as the car curtain moved, Princess Taiping's little head had come out from behind the car curtain, and she didn't look at the people who bowed down at all, and looked around with big eyes, and then shouted, ignoring whether the current welcoming ceremony was formal or not.
"Hmm."
In response to Princess Taiping, there was a dull whisper, and then, Li Xian, who was dressed in a purple robe, walked down from the carriage with his waist over, with a trace of exhaustion on his face, which is not surprising, anyone who has been entangled by such a problem child as Princess Taiping for three days, will inevitably be upset, this is Li Xian, if someone else comes, I am afraid that he would have a nervous breakdown, Rao is Li Xiancheng's mansion is as deep as the sea, but he is still tossed by Princess Taiping's countless strange problems and is extremely depressed, Even if he knew that he should give a bright smile to the people who came to greet him at this time, Li Xian, who was half-paralyzed with muscles on his face, couldn't smile anymore, so he could only nod his head as a courtesy.
"His Royal Highness, the accommodation in the palace has been prepared, please move in first, and let the old slave guide the way."
Li Xian could not be smiling, but Liu Kai, the chief eunuch of the palace, did not dare to be rude in the slightest, and approached with a smile on his face, and asked for instructions respectfully.
"Seventh brother, let's go!"
Before Li Xian could speak, Princess Taiping on the side was already impatient, and took Li Xian's arm and was about to walk towards the palace gate.
"Little sister, don't be impatient." Although Li Xian is a prince, according to the old practice, but he does not have the authority to live in the palace alone, of course, this time is to come to hunt by order, with such a layer of poor skin on the body, if you really want to live in the palace, but it is also reasonable, but, Li Xian, who is cautious by nature, does not want to fall into the hands of others in such a trivial matter, at this time Seeing Princess Taiping moving forward anxiously, Li Xian had to speak and stopped, and then, no matter how high Princess Taiping's small mouth was, he waved his hand at Liu Kai with a smile and said: "Master Liu doesn't have to worry about it, Lonely look at the scenery by the lake is good, just camp on the spot, wait to get busy, if there is something to do, then ask you to help, all disperse. As soon as the words fell, he didn't give Liu Kai a chance to explain, waved his hand, and ordered the whole army to set up a camp by the lake.
"Seventh brother, I don't live in a good palace, I live in a camp, it's not interesting!"
Li Xian's authority is growing, since he opened his mouth, others dare not have objections, but Princess Taiping is an exception, this time seeing that the army is busy setting up camp, Xiao Taiping frowned unhappily, pouted, and complained.
"Little sister, the wild goose is a spiritual thing, if you want to hunt it, you have to dive close in the middle of the night, only in the early morning, when the geese first wake up, it is a good opportunity to do it, if you live in the palace, travel in the middle of the night will not disturb people's dreams, a day for it or can, if it is continuous, it is bound to be secretly criticized, for the brother does not want to do it, if the little sister can get up alone, you can go into the palace to live well." Seeing that Princess Taiping's small mouth was so upturned that she could hang up the oil bottle, Li Xian couldn't help laughing, squatted down, reached out and scraped the tip of Princess Taiping's nose, and explained gently.
"Nasty!" Xiao Taiping dodged for a moment, made a grimace and said, "Then the seventh brother has to take the little sister with him tomorrow!" ”
"Okay, pull the hook, pull the hook!"
The reason why Li Xian brought Princess Taiping here this time was to ask her to be a witness, and he would not refuse her request to go goose hunting with him, so he laughed and stretched out his little thumb.
"Yay! Seventh brother, the little sister went to the lake to investigate the enemy situation first. ”
Princess Taiping is a child's heart, and when she was so teased by Li Xian, she immediately became happy, stretched out her little thumb, pulled the hook with Li Xian, and after making a grimace, she ran to the lake with a smoke, so busy that all the accompanying palace maids and eunuchs flocked behind her.
Spotting the enemy? Oh, this little girl! As soon as Li Xian heard that the military term came out of Princess Taiping's mouth, he couldn't help but shake his head and laughed, and he didn't bother to control this active little girl, stood up, looked back at Lin Chengbin, who was standing respectfully on the side, and coughed lightly.
"Your Highness is wise."
Lin Chengbin naturally knew what Li Xian was going to ask, so when he was saluting, he quietly made a secret signal, but he praised it meticulously.
"Hmm."
As soon as he saw the code that Lin Chengbin typed, the stone hanging in Li Xian's heart finally fell to the ground, but he didn't bring it to his face, he just nodded quietly, said lightly, and walked towards the lake by himself, with a calm look, and dozens of pairs of eyes peeping at it were stunned that they didn't find even a little suspicious.
Guangchengyuan is undoubtedly extremely beautiful, the mountains and rivers are connected, the smoke waves are vast, the eagle flies and the fish jumps, in the meantime, people have a sense of being in a fairyland, Rao is Li Xian is not the first time to return here, but at first glance at this boundless beauty, the mind is still inevitably a swing, and then he quickly came back to his senses, just because the current situation is generally under control, but there are too many variables, it is obviously unrealistic to want to be comprehensive, even if Li Xian has already thought about it countless times, but still in his heart, I have no intention of appreciating the infinite scenery of nature.
"Oops!"
Just when Li Xian was pondering, he suddenly felt a cold on his face, and he couldn't help but exclaim, and his hand subconsciously wiped it, only to find that his face was full of cold water.
"Ha, little sister, dare to sneak attack, watch and fight!"
Seeing that Xiao Taiping was overjoyed, Li Xian couldn't help but feel childlike, and after laughing and scolding, he unceremoniously scooped up the water and counterattacked, and the brothers and sisters became a mess, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were affected also made up for fun, and the laughter on the shore of the lake was useless for a while......
