Tu Chengguang's invitation was rejected by Li Mao, and Zuo Yu Lin Wei Zhonglang sent Li Tong to send a post to invite him to the Perfume Temple in the south of the city, but Li Mao couldn't bear to refuse.

There are many restaurants, wine shops, prostitutes, and music houses in Chang'an City, and it is the preference of the literati to invite guests in the temple, and to meet in the temple, the picture is a quiet and private. Li Mao can understand Li Tong's difficulties.

The perfume temple is located in the south of Xingqing Palace, the reputation is not obvious, the place is not big, the building is also so-so, the incense is cold and deserted and almost cut off, but this does not affect the pride and ambition of the host and a cadre of monks to collect money by placing a vegetarian feast.

The whole temple has been specially renovated, each private room has a private entrance, since the main private brand, the reception of the monks are very aware of the rules, everything is properly arranged, it will automatically disappear without a trace, unless called, it will never appear in front of the guests to annoy.

Li Mao washed his hands, looking at the dazzling array of bronze, pottery pots, and porcelain on the antique shelves in a daze, although he is not a big player, but he has seen a lot of knowledge over the years, and his ability to appreciate treasures has also been greatly improved, although these things on the shelves in front of him are not rare treasures, but they are also very valuable.

A little-known temple turned out to be so rich, Li Mao was amazed.

Qin Mo picked up a Han Wei, shook it vigorously, leaned into his ear to listen, listened to it for a while, was a little disappointed, and muttered, "It's really fake." Li Mao said: "It's all real guys, if it's broken, you can't afford to pay for it." Qin Mo hurriedly put the things in his hand back carefully, it was not worth it to make a fuss for a broken ear jar.

Clapped his hands, and asked Li Mao with a smile: "Compared with the temple where you were a monk when you were a child, how is the weather here?" ”

Li Mao also put down the things in his hand and replied: "I am a monk in an ancient temple in the deep mountains, I use rough stone tools, and I eat vegetable porridge, but the real Buddha I read is not like this Buddhist restaurant, which sells wine, meat, fame and fortune." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard someone snort: "What a big breath." ”

The two of them looked at each other, but they were a court lady with a graceful figure, and the identity of "court lady" was judged from her temperament, and she herself was wearing a men's crewneck shirt, dressed as an ordinary scholar.

"When did the stinky boy hook up with the palace people?"

Qin Mo muttered, puzzled, and Li Mao was puzzled. Li Tong is Mo Qi's supernatural power, after being the lieutenant general of the Zuo Yulin Army, he won the favor of the Son of Heaven and gave the country the surname Li.

Li Tong's Zhonglang added the word "Suiluan" in front of him, he is a trustworthy person around Li Chun, but no matter how favored he is, it is impossible to mix with the point that there are palace female officials waiting for guests when he goes out for banquets.

"The nobles are down, except for General Li, all the idle people and others are avoided."

Qin Mo looked left and right, except for himself, there seemed to be no one who could breathe, so he pointed to his nose and asked, "Me?" ”

The female officer's nostrils turned to the sky and snorted: "Less nonsense." ”

Li Mao sensed that something was wrong, so he nodded to Qin Mo, Qin Mo glared at the female official, snorted and walked away. After Qin Mo left, the female official said coldly to Li Mao, "Please come with me." ”

Lead Li Mao through a moon gate, walk through a secluded corridor, and come to a quiet courtyard with thick shade, the small courtyard sits in the south and faces north, and a giant pine is planted in the southeast and northwest corners, covering the entire courtyard tightly like the palm of the sky.

At the gate of the small courtyard stood several court ladies dressed in men's clothes, there were guards swimming in secret, and a tall female official with a fair face greeted her with a smile, Li Mao felt that this person was very familiar.

The female officer lowered her eyebrows and bowed to her:

"Brother Mao is fine, the supernatural powers have already left, I don't want everyone to summon temporarily, so I have no choice but to break the appointment, and I pray for Brother Mao's forgiveness."

Li Mao slapped his forehead and secretly scolded himself for being confused, isn't the female official in front of him Guo Ren, the wife of Mo Qi's magical powers?

changed into magnificent clothes, learned court etiquette, no longer spoke in a rough voice, and his face was white and delicate, but he was still that person, why didn't he know it.

Since Mo Qi Shentong became the lieutenant general of the Zuo Yulin Army, Li Mao consciously kept a distance from him, and it is taboo for foreign officials to make friends with the generals of the forbidden army, not to mention that there are two words "Sui Luan" in front of Mo Qi Shentong, the lieutenant general.

"Well, it doesn't matter, I dare to blame myself for serving the Son of Heaven wholeheartedly. In that case, it is better to meet again another day. ”

Li Mao wanted to leave, but he couldn't go, and the female officer who brought him blocked his way, and the female officials on the left and right closed the courtyard door in front of him.

Guo Ren Yingying bowed again and said, "My stepmother asked the general to move and see each other." ”

Since Mo Qi Shentong became a general of the forbidden army, Guo Ren also climbed to the top of the branch and became Guo Guifei's daughter, in fact, in terms of age, she is more suitable to be Guo Guifei's sister.

The nobleman in the house turned out to be Guo Guifei, which surprised Li Mao.

As for the purpose of her asking herself to come here, Li Mao was not surprised.

Now that there is no way back, Li Mao is dressed and can only walk over hard. The room was warm like spring, but the light was a little dim, and a few lights and candles made the dim room reveal a hint of ambiguity.

There was a screen at the door, and there was a woman dressed on the bed behind the screen.

There was a person in the room who giggled: "If you don't see the true God, you worship indiscriminately, is Li Maohua so reckless when he marches and fights?" Although the voice is blame, it is very pleasant to listen to.

Guo Ren lowered his mouth and signaled that the woman in casual clothes standing in front of the calligraphy and painting in the middle was the main character.

Li Mao furrowed his brows, came to the door of the inner room, and paid homage to Ruyi, Guo Guifei was not in a hurry to let him get up, but there was a rustling of footsteps behind him - Guo Ren and the dressed woman retreated together.

The door closed.

Guo Guifei turned around, sat down on the embroidery pier, and said, "Please get up." ”

Li Mao lowered his hand and asked, "I don't know what the noble concubine has to call her subordinates, what do you order?" ”

Concubine Guo didn't answer, held the tea in her hand, and didn't drink it, but looked Li Mao up and down, and a blush flew up her cheeks.

"What are you nervous about, is Hongu a man-eating tiger?"

Concubine Guo smiled shallowly, her teeth were white but not neat, and she looked graceful and wealthy when she smiled.

Li Mao's heart couldn't help but tighten.

"The soldiers were on the bloody battlefield, and the concubines mobilized the sisters in the palace to prepare some condolences for the soldiers, all of which were gold beads and jade, and wanted to sell them for money, but they were afraid that they would be intercepted halfway. I want to simply hand it over to you directly, you take it and sell it, with your shrewdness and ability, I will not suffer a loss. Look at what is lacking in front of you, you can buy something, and it is a part of the sisters' hearts left and right. ”

In front of Li Mao were six large wooden boxes, the lids of which were opened, and they were all gold, silver, pearls, jade and jewelry.

Li Mao thanked him, got up and was silent.

"You don't like to talk?"

"In front of the nobles, Mao didn't dare to talk nonsense."

"If you don't say it, then let me ask you, Your Majesty wants to establish a prince, among the princes, who do you think can inherit the throne?"

Li Mao said: "The ministers didn't hear what the concubine said, and the ministers only knew that it was not appropriate for the ministers to ask about the emperor's family affairs." ”

Guo Guifei smiled: "So you don't help anyone?" ”

Li Mao said: "If the concubine has no other instructions, please retire." ”

Li Mao turned around and wanted to leave, but Guo Guifei shouted, "Stop." ”

Li Mao stood still, but did not turn back. Guo Guifei said: "It is a big thing to come and establish a prince, as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, is it possible for you to stay out of the matter?" Run, where can you escape? ”

Li Maoli was like a cast of iron, and he didn't say a word.

"Whatever you say to me today, it's the same in the hearts of outsiders. And ......"

Li Mao smelled an intoxicating body fragrance, and his intuition told him that a soft and delicate body was approaching him, he instinctively dodged, but the stiff body was not as flexible as before, and when he turned around to leave, his hand accidentally touched a soft crisp.

Li Mao's pupils were suddenly congested, his face was red, his ears were red, and he was red. The blood all over his body suddenly coagulated, and it froze coldly.

He retracted his hand like a viper.

The woman pressed over step by step, Li Mao had no way to retreat, so he had no choice but to push her away.

"You've done something very rebellious."

Li Mao's hand was already grasping the door frame, but he was pulled back by this sentence, although he didn't use force, he could also feel that unless he smashed this door violently, he couldn't get out of this room, and the door was pulled from the outside.

He looked at the window, but stood still, the delicate woman had blocked his escape route.

"Are you laughing at my lack of self-love? Hmph, I want to say that you are wrong, since ancient times have loved heroes, you are the hero of the country, why can't I have love. ”

The aroma of orchid was like a poisonous mist in Li Mao, suffocating him.

Concubine Guo stretched out a hand and gently stroked Li Mao's face, this gentle touch brought Li Mao only humiliation, he shot like electricity, like an iron palm grabbed Concubine Guo's soft fragrant shoulder, condescending, glaring angrily, and said word by word: "I said, I will never interfere in the matter of the reserve, I Li Mao will do what he says, and I will never regret it." ”

Concubine Guo was frightened by Li Mao's fierce flower face changed color, and once lost her temper, she stabilized her position, her eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness, and she gritted her teeth and said: "I don't believe what you say, you swear poison." ”

Li Mao raised his hand to the sky and swore an oath: "The royal prince, Li Mao abides by his duty as a courtier, impartiality, if this oath is violated, people and gods will abandon him, and there will be no place to bury him." ”

Concubine Guo said: "It's not okay to be impartial, you either help me or no one else, you must make it clear." ”

Li Mao had no choice but to swear again and add the words "no one will help". Concubine Guo's anger decreased, she touched the shoulder that was caught by Li Mao, and got out of the way.

Li Mao jumped out of the window and was about to leave, when Concubine Guo suddenly asked again: "Are you afraid of me or him?" ”

Li Mao had already stepped on the window with one foot, holding the window frame with both hands, and after a pause when he heard the words, he replied: "For the sake of King Sui, the concubine will do less of this Meng Lang's act." His Majesty retired. ”

"Stop!" Guo Guifei suddenly let out a low roar, she rushed to the window like a tiger and dragged Li Mao back, took his sleeve and pulled him to the door, and opened the door.

The moment the door opened, the concubine, who was still trembling with anger and a pale complexion, suddenly became ruddy and tender, and one of her arms was on Li Mao's shoulder like lightning, and a shy and charming smile appeared on her ruddy cheeks.

She straightened Li Mao's collar and said softly: "You go first, I'll have someone send six boxes over when I'm young." ”

Li Mao was speechless, he was being played by her like a puppet, he was lazy and had no power to resist, he didn't know what tricks she was going to play, he only knew that he didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.

In a hurry, he walked away.

Guo Guifei looked at Li Mao and left stupidly, and even stood on tiptoe to look at his back, her cheeks were ruddy like a girl in her first love. Then she ordered the door to be closed. The room suddenly darkened, and she stood facing the door, her face suddenly pale. Guo Ren, who was accompanying her, didn't dare to take a breath, and when she entered the door, the first thing she saw was the big bed behind the gauze screen, which was as clean as ever, and there was nothing wrong when she looked around.

"I hate a coward who doesn't know how to lift, I don't know how to lift, I hate him......"

Guo Guifei suddenly lost control of her emotions, and cried loudly, with her life experience from childhood to adulthood, where is not a collection of thousands of pets, and she can't get anything, but today, all of a sudden, everything has changed, someone hurt her, and she is heartbroken, so that she can't solve it.

She grabbed Guo Ren's clothes, tore and scratched, pounded and beaten, she was pampered and had no strength, but the sharp nails made Guo Ren suffer a lot, Guo Ren's sturdy physique was like a weak willow in the wind, swaying and turbulent.

However, Guo Ren's heart was very happy, Guo Guifei regarded her as Li Mao, and her resentment and madness were directed at Li Mao.

She was not in a hurry to comfort the most noble woman in Datang in her arms, but was busy, looked at the big and soft bed again, and finally snorted proudly in her nose, Guo Ren smiled with satisfaction.
