Chapter 794: The Princess's Night Banquet (Part II)
A princess will always be a princess, and a princess who has left home is still a princess. www.biquge.info When the Yulin guards lined up in front of the Taoist temple, Dongyang was no longer the poor monk, but the face of the most noble family in the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, Li Su also went to the banquet, but he came relatively late, and when he walked slowly from his house to the door of the Taoist temple with a lazy look as if he was strolling leisurely, a sharp-eyed eunuch immediately saw him, and the eunuch reversed the arrogant appearance of the courtiers, and led Li Su into the atrium of the Taoist temple with a courteous and flattering face.
The atrium is usually the place where the Taoist ladies do evening classes and meals, for the banquet of Her Royal Highness the princess, the eunuchs and palace ladies have been busy for several days, and the atrium has been repaired and arranged, a small plum forest in the courtyard is full of rows of lanterns, and under the plum trees, a low table is arranged in various corners in a staggered manner, which looks unruly, but has a unique elegance.
Under the guidance of the eunuchs, Li Su walked slowly into the atrium, and inadvertently looked up, but saw many powerful courtiers honestly sitting behind the low table, their bodies were straight, their eyes were looking at their noses, their noses were looking at their hearts, and dozens of people gathered at the banquet but were silent, and the scene had maintained an eerie silence.
Li Su paused, then looked at this strange picture in a daze, and said hesitantly: "This ...... What does that mean? ”
Immediately, his expression was a little panicked: "Could it be that there has been a new trend in the atmosphere of the wine banquet in Chang'an City recently, and everyone has begun to advocate silent hilarity?" Why didn't anyone tell me? Could it be ...... Am I being ostracized by everyone? ”
The eunuch who led the way in front of him turned his head and smiled flatteringly, and said: "Grandpa Li said that he was joking, this is a Taoist temple, in fact, everyone knows that it was originally the princess's mansion that changed its name, who dares to be presumptuous when he enters the princess's mansion, isn't it too long?" ”
Li Su glanced at him unkindly, and then snorted.
I don't know how many times I have been presumptuous to the princess in your princess's mansion, and every time I am presumptuous and her Royal Highness the princess is full of spring and gasping for breath, I am so presumptuous, how? Am I proud?
Too lazy to worry about the eunuchs, Li Su instructed the eunuchs to bypass the plum forest in the atrium to prevent those magnates from discovering him, and the two took a long detour, and finally saw Dongyang on the pond and water pavilion in the inner courtyard.
Dongyang deliberately dressed up today, with a bright red flower on his delicate forehead and eyebrows, his red lips were obviously depicted, and a little rouge was also lightly applied to his cheeks, which looked more and more glamorous and moving, and people couldn't help but think about it...... Be presumptuous.
"Yikes! I'm going to die! You ......" Dongyang covered his chest in shame, looked in the direction of the eunuch like a thief, and made sure that no one noticed Li Su's light movements, so he exhaled lightly, and then slapped him hard, and said angrily: "Let people see how I will behave in the future?" ”
Li Su snorted dissatisfiedly: "Dressed up so charmingly, are you going to go on a blind date?" ”
Dongyang sneered: "Today's banquet, I am the master after all, how much do I have to dress up?" And...... It's just a little bit of rouge to add color, don't you see that I haven't even changed my hair and clothes? ”
Li Su noticed her clothes at this time, and saw that she was still the same Dao Gu bun as usual, and she was also the familiar set of Dao robes, and her thin body was hidden in the wide Dao robe, completely covering her graceful and graceful figure, except for the stunning face, there was no bright spot in terms of clothing and figure.
Li Su squinted and looked at it for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, it's still too unrestrained, why don't you cover your face too?" ”
Dongyang said with a smile: "What nonsense, how can there be a reason why the host doesn't even show his face?" If it spreads, the whole Chang'an City will laugh at me. ”
Li Su sighed and said, "I don't think I think it on weekdays, but today I saw you dressed up coldly, and suddenly found that you are so beautiful and moving, which really makes me regret it......"
It was rare to hear Li Su's praise, Dongyang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even his eyes became particularly coquettish.
"Do you think I'm looking good today? Tell me, what do you regret? ”
Li Su blinked: "I regret that I was too hasty every time I insulted you before, I should let you dress up first and then do it, which will instantly raise my happiness to the extreme, Meidi is very ......"
Dongyang's originally happy face suddenly froze, and he thought that he would continue to deepen the topic of how beautiful he was, but who knew that the style of painting suddenly changed, and the deep affection and sweetness suddenly turned into obscenity.
Dongyang, who was extremely angry, didn't say a word, and played a complete set of Kongtong faction's Seven Wound Fists on Li Su's body before he finished his work.
"This woman is crazy......" Li Su muttered to herself, covering her sore spot.
"Tell you to despise me again!" Dongyang raised his small fist as if demonstrating, then sneered, and stepped forward to help him knead.
"Even though you didn't say anything, I felt your heart, and your voice told me that you already knew you were wrong...... Roger that! I'll forgive you this time, and next time I'll practice my fists and feet, and I won't be forgiven. Li Su grinned with a happy expression, and bowed his chin in the direction of the atrium: "There are a lot of guests, why don't you, the host, go out to say hello?" ”
Dongyang rolled his eyes: "Let them wait, since there is a banquet, my identity today is not a monk, but the princess of the Tang Dynasty, how can there be a reason for the princess to come forward to entertain the guests in person?" If the emperor's authority is lost, my father will scold me, and besides, even if I go out to entertain in person, they won't dare to take it......"
Li Su nodded: "It makes sense, so the theme of today's banquet is to invite everyone to come and see you, the princess, Duodese?" ”
Dongyang pushed him and said angrily: "Who has to get stuck?" I didn't even show my face, who do I have to go with? ”
Li Su glanced at her: "Inviting guests to dinner to your realm is really rare, look at the people outside who are sitting trembling one by one, did you tie up their own sons and force them to come to the banquet?" ”
…………………………………
Dongyang obediently went out to entertain the guests after all, Li Su sat alone in the water pavilion, thinking about Dongyang's deliberately cold temperament in front of outsiders, it was really hard to imagine Dongyang's stiff smiling face and entertaining guests with an exaggerated cordial tone, the guest and the host looked like debt collection and debt, the scene must be incomparably embarrassing, the picture was too beautiful to see, so Li Su decided to wait for the guests and hosts to finish the performance before going out.
Looking at the calm surface of the pond alone, Li Su gradually immersed himself in his thoughts.
The trouble of the Hou family is solved, but the ending is unexpected, Li Su didn't expect that the Hou family actually has such a housewife, who has an extremely strong temperament, and is decisive in killing, ruthless in means, and can even kill himself mercilessly.
Before this, Li Su had always thought that the popular sentence "I started to go crazy and even beat myself" after a thousand years was just a joke, but reality slapped him hard.
Now that the Hou family is out of trouble, they will return to the ranks of the magnates in Chang'an, and the rise is just around the corner, all of this was originally Li Su's credit, and it stands to reason that after Hou Junji returns to Chang'an, even if he kowtows three times, it is not too much.
However, with Hou Fang's unhesitating public suicide, Li Su's kindness to the Hou family inevitably made a big discount. No matter in anyone's eyes, the Hou family was able to get out of trouble and rise again, all because of the resolute dedication of the Hou family's housewife, it was this woman who paved the red carpet with the blood that flowed out, and Hou Junji strode on the red carpet and regained the original scenery.
Yes, Hou Fang's death changed many things, and even affected the strategic layout of the court. The Western Expedition, which should not have been commanded by Hou Junji, finally miraculously fell on him.
Li Su's little favor to the Hou family was nothing compared to Hou Fang's death. Hou Jie knelt in front of Li Su and kept saying "benefactor", and Li Su was panicked when he heard it.
Ask yourself, is the resurgence of the Hou family really his own credit?
Li Su couldn't help but suspect that the Hou Fang clan had even calculated him, and the kindness owed by the Hou family to Li Su was almost repaid with the knife that the Hou Fang clan resolutely committed suicide, because the Hou Fang clan not only had to exchange his death for Hou Junji's life, but also had to exchange Li Su for not delaying or owing.
It is not easy for a very powerful woman, or rather, a woman who can be a housewife in the mansion.
People die like lights go out, no matter what Hou Fang's thoughts were at the time, death is death after all, from the basic morality of being a person, Li Su is not willing to maliciously speculate about a dead person.
Well, so be it, it's good not to drag or owe.
Li Su, who was deep in thought, was completely forgetful, but he didn't know that behind him, a petite and delicate figure was quietly approaching him......
"Hah! Scared to death! With a crisp shout behind him, Li Su trembled, and was really frightened.
He turned his head angrily, but saw that the long-lost Princess Gaoyang was standing behind him, laughing triumphantly.
Li Su is angry, look, look! Li Shimin gave birth to something!
As a gentleman with quality and cultivation who never beats a woman, Li Su can only try to resist the urge to slap her into the pond.
Seeing Gao Yang holding his stomach and laughing without manners, Li Su sneered twice, took out a celadon narrow-mouthed vial like a trick, shook it towards Gao Yang, and said lightly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Her Royal Highness the princess is still so naughty, I am an adult, I don't care about you...... See the bottle in my hand? This is a strong cherry blossom perfume that my perfume has just developed, and it is a gift from me......"
Li Su grinned at her, and added: "It has just been developed, and there is only one bottle in the whole world......
Gao Yang's eyes suddenly sparkled, and he stretched out his hand excitedly: "I want it!" Give it to me! ”
Li Su smiled coldly, didn't answer, the hand holding the bottle suddenly moved back, and the porcelain bottle drew a perfect parabola behind Li Su, and fell into the pond with a thud.
Gao Yang was stunned, staring fixedly at the ripples on the surface of the pond, and for a long time, he suddenly shouted like crazy: "Are you sick?" You actually throw away such a good thing! Didn't you say you were going to give it to me? ”
Li Suhao said in a hurry: "I really want to give it to you, but you scared me just now, I was very angry, and I was embarrassed to beat you because of the man's demeanor, so I had to take the gift for you to get angry...... Don't you think I'm kind? ”
Gao Yang was so angry that he scolded: "Kind fart!" Didn't you just say that I was naughty, and you're an adult so you don't care about me? ”
Li Su clenched his hands into fists, raised them to the sides of his cheeks, then puffed out his face, pouted, and posed in a very brainless rural non-mainstream pose, blinking his eyes and saying in a cute childish voice: "Because I suddenly realized that people are also naughty babies...... Yo! ”
