Luoyang.

In a courtyard, through the window, under the illumination of candlelight, I saw two figures hooking their shoulders and moving back and forth rhythmically.

Suddenly, I heard a "ouch" from inside!

Then I heard someone say, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Did it hurt you? ”

"Oh, the slave is fine."

"I'm really stupid, I've only been jumping for so long, and I've stepped on your feet so much."

"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself, in fact, among the few people who have been taught by slaves, Your Majesty is the best dancer."

"Really?"

"Hmm."

Wang Xuan said again: "Your Majesty, let's rest for a while and then dance." ”

"It's good, it's good."

The red dust that Wang Xuan pretended to be was poison for Li Zhi, and once it started, it couldn't be stopped at all.

Since he came back here and talked to Wang Xuan, Li Zhi began to run here every day, he is an old driver, what men and women do not kiss, for the emperor, there is no such problem, he naturally danced this new dance with Wang Xuan.

But I have to say, this dance is really good!

Li Zhi likes it too much, because of this dance, he can be close to Wang Xuan in a grand manner, and it is very natural, unpretentious, and sometimes he dances very energetically.

"Huh! Hongchen, your dance is really wonderful! After jumping for a while every day, I feel much more relaxed. ”

Li Zhi wiped his sweat while praising Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan smiled shyly: "Your Majesty has won the award." ”

Li Zhi is now more and more like Wang Xuan, beautiful and moving, gentle personality, and understanding, with her, very comfortable, suddenly said: "I see that the relationship between you and Jiang Qiaoqing is very good." ”

Wang Xuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "The slave maid and Aunt Qing have always depended on each other, and their relationship is better than that of mother and daughter. ”

"Really?"

Li Zhi smiled: "I thought it was ........ ”

He wanted to speak and stopped, but Wang Xuan's heart was like a mirror, and said, "Your Majesty, why?" ”

Li Zhi said: "I said, you are not allowed to be angry. ”

Wang Xuan said: "How dare the slave be angry with Your Majesty. ”

Actually, even if you're angry, I won't blame you. Li Zhi said secretly, and said: "I have heard many stories about courtesans before, and many women in the world are forced to embark on this road by those fake mothers, after all, there is a woman who likes to be a courtesan, and it is really rare for you to have such a relationship with Jiang Qiaoqing." ”

Wang Xuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty misunderstood Aunt Qing, in fact, Aunt Qing did not persecute the slave maid, not only that, but she also taught the slave and maid a lot of knowledge. Although it was forced by life that the slave maid became a courtesan, but now the slave and maid like the current life very much. ”

Li Zhi was surprised: "Why? I always thought that no woman liked to be a courtesan? ”

Wang Xuan said: "Maybe some people will think so, but not all people think so. ”

Li Zhi said: "Then what do you think?" ”

Wang Xuan said: "Because of music." ”

"Music?"

"That's right!" Wang Xuan said: "Because music and dance can bring happiness and laughter to people. When the slave was very young, the slave's parents were still alive, and the slave was very happy at that time, and lived every day without worries. But then because of the rebellion, everything was ruined, the slave and the maid in the process of running away from their parents, saw too many people living in pain, the slave and the maid themselves, how the slave and the maid hoped to be able to go back to the past, from that time on, the slave and the maid thought that there was nothing more important in this world than happiness and laughter, so the slave and the maid hoped to bring happiness and laughter to people through music and dance, and every time the slave and the maid performed on stage, the slave and the maid were very satisfied to see the happy smiles of the guests. ”

Wang Xuan's words were taught by Han Yi himself, the purpose was to sublimate her status as a lowly courtesan to a selfless realm, so that Li Zhi treated Wang Xuan even more differently.

Sure enough, Li Zhi was immediately deeply moved by Wang Xuan's innocent and kind dream, because the women around him were all ruthless characters, and none of them had a pure and flawless soul like Hongchen, even if it was Wang Xuan in the past, it was not a good stubble, but Wang Xuan in the past was more stupid, which was the most lacking around him, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Hearing you say this, I'm really ashamed!" ”

Wang Xuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has no intention of blaming Your Majesty, the slave maid ......!" ”

"Don't be nervous."

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Actually, I know better than you about the Muzhou rebellion, although the disaster is unstoppable, if the local government goes all out to rescue the local people, it will not give Chen Shuo a chance." As the monarch of the people of the world, the people are suffering from this great calamity and living in dire straits, no matter what, I am to blame, and I don't want this to happen again. ”

Wang Xuan said: "Your Majesty can think like this, it is really a blessing for our people." ”

Li Zhi laughed self-deprecatingly: "If you make a mistake, you can still be praised by everyone, but I'm afraid that I am the only one in the world who has this treatment!" ”

Wang Xuan let out an "ah", then pursed her lips, desperately holding back her smile.

Li Zhi saw her like this, so he said: "If you want to laugh, I won't blame you, didn't you also say it, laughter is the most valuable." ”

Wang Xuan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

Li Zhi saw the beauty smiling, and he was even more happy, and laughed.

After laughing for a moment, Wang Xuan suddenly rolled her eyes, bit her lip lightly, and said with a little apprehension: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has something to ask, but I don't know whether to ask?" ”

Oops! I'm afraid you have no desires! Li Zhi hurriedly said: "You say." ”

Wang Xuan said timidly: "When will the slave and maid go out?" ”

Li Zhi was stunned and said worriedly: "What? Do you want to go back to Jinling? ”

"Huh? No. Wang Xuan said: "Slave maid---- slave maid just wants to go back to the stage." ”

Li Zhi frowned slightly when he heard this.

Wang Xuan immediately said worriedly: "Your Majesty, if it doesn't work, then be a slave and maid who didn't say it." ”

Li Zhi was stunned and glanced at Wang Xuan, this person is selfish, although Wang Xuan's innocence and kindness touched him, but he really didn't want Wang Xuan to go on stage and perform for everyone. But when I saw Wang Xuan's lonely eyes again, I couldn't bear it in my heart, this is really hard to choose!

But he couldn't help but think of the Hongchen who performed on the stage that day, and knew that Hongchen was the real Hongchen, if he didn't want to go out of this door, it was Wang Xuan, not Hongchen.

What he likes is Hongchen, how can he change Hongchen into Wang Xuan.

"Alright! I promise you. In the end, Li Zhi nodded and agreed.

Wang Xuan was pleasantly surprised: "Is it really --- true?" Can slaves return to the stage? ”

Li Zhi nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."

When Li Zhi saw Wang Xuan's joyful look, he immediately felt that it was worth it.

"Your Majesty, it's not too early, it's time to go back."

Zhang Desheng's voice came from outside the door again.

Li Zhi has been hating Zhang Desheng more and more recently, but he is also embarrassed to stay here for the night, after all, he has always behaved gentle and elegant, and it is not good to suddenly turn into a beast, and he enjoys this pure feeling very much, he reluctantly glanced at Wang Xuan, and then said goodbye to Wang Xuan.

Out of the house, Li Zhi instructed Zhang Desheng: "I have promised Hongchen to return to Huayue Tower to perform, but I don't want her to be hurt in the slightest,"

Zhang Desheng said: "The villain knows what to do. ”

"Remember, there must not be a trace of harm, or I will want your heads to fall to the ground." Li Zhi told one more side, and then he got into the carriage.

Back in the palace, a eunuch came to Zhang Desheng and whispered a few words in his ear. Zhang Desheng nodded, immediately came to Li Zhi's side again, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Xu Shizhong has come to Luoyang." ”

Li Zhi frowned when he heard this, and said with a calm face: "It's really unreasonable. ”

You don't have to think about it to know, of course Xu Jingzong is the helper invited by Wu Meiniang, and Wu Meiniang really has no choice, these days, Li Zhi runs to Wang Xuan's side every day, and the fight is hot, but as soon as she meets Li Zhi, she quarrels, she knows that it can't go on like this, and she has to find a third party to mediate, so she quickly called Xu Jingzong to help.

Following.

"Your Majesty, the old minister."

Xu Jingzong came to Li Zhi and saluted.

Li Zhi smiled: "When did Xu Aiqing arrive?" ”

"The old minister arrived yesterday."

"I don't know if Xu Aiqing rushed here, what did he report to me?"

"Back to Your Majesty, now that Chang'an is implementing a new policy, Your Majesty needs to be the master in many aspects, if Your Majesty is healthy, you should go back to Chang'an as soon as possible."

Li Zhi glanced at him and said with a smile: "This is what the queen asked you to say." ”

Xu Jingzong was stunned for a moment, and knew that he couldn't hide it, but he thought it was so serious, and said quite seriously: "Your Majesty, the queen is also thinking about Your Majesty, the old minister has not seen the red dust lady, and he doesn't dare to make a judgment, but the old minister thinks that no matter whether the red dust lady is Wang or not, His Majesty should not contact her, if so, she must come to retaliate, and the consequences are unimaginable." If not, then she is just a lowly courtesan, and Your Majesty is the king of a country, and if this spreads, the people of the world will laugh at Your Majesty. ”

Li Zhi didn't say a word, stood up, and walked in front of Xu Jingzong.

When Xu Jingzong saw Li Zhi coming over, he was inexplicably very scared.

Li Zhi said softly: "Dare to ask Aiqing, are you my courtier, or the queen's courtier?" ”

Just this simple sentence frightened Xu Jingzong's legs, and he almost didn't kneel on the ground, and said with a trembling mouth: "The old minister's loyalty to His Majesty can be learned from heaven and earth, and heaven and earth can be learned." ”

"Really?" Li Zhi said with a smile: "I entrusted the imperial court to Qing, but Qing left his official duties and came to Luoyang because of the queen's words. ”

"Wronged! Wronged! The old minister is just worried about His Majesty, and if he comes to Luoyang, His Majesty must believe the old minister! Xu Jingzong was sweating profusely, and he couldn't wait to kneel down for Li Zhi.

Li Zhi stared at the old guy for a moment, then suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand, gently supported Xu Jingzong, and said with a smile: "Qing's loyalty to me, I know very well in my heart, but Qing must also have confidence in me. ”

"Yes, yes, the old minister knows, the old minister knows." Xu Jingzong said tremblingly.
