Chapter 103: First Encounter with Li Longji (Part I)

Tiger Gun brought a group of East Palace guards into the wine shop with a big grin, and as soon as he raised his head and took a few steps back, there was a person standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile, but it was Li Qing who wanted to rob the jewelry.

"What? Are you so poor or itchy that you dare to incite the brethren to rob me of my things? ”

"This, that" Li Hugun was already out of stock, and at this time he was even more desperate, so he only grabbed the back of his head at this time, hehe smirked.

Li Qing ignored him, smiled and beckoned to the other brothers, "Brothers come in, let go of your stomach to eat and drink, I have a treat today." "The law doesn't blame the public, just catch the first evil, he knocked Li Hu's gun on the scalp from behind, "Except for your wine and food, the red envelope is also exempt." ”

A group of guards were worried that the leader was angry, but when they saw him smiling at Mimi, he didn't look like he was angry, so they all put their hearts at ease, rushed into the store with a shout, and each grabbed a seat to sit down, especially on the seat opposite Cui Liuliu, there were five or more people, all of whom squeezed their eyebrows at her, and competed to introduce themselves.

Li Hugun touched his nose with a bitter face, his eyes slanted, and when he saw that Cui Liuliu was also there, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly had an idea, he pulled Li Qing to a secluded place, and said in a low voice: "My cousin looks pretty good, but it's too far worse than my sister, why don't I create an opportunity for you to go on a trip with my sister, what do you think?" ”

Li Qing knew his ghost thoughts, kicked him in the ass and said with a smile: "Your sister's cold face, I can't climb it, if you want to please the old man, you might as well find me a place to live." ”

A sentence reminded Li Hugun, and he suddenly remembered something, "Just now Li Jingzhong sent a message to my house, asking you to go to him immediately, as if it was to arrange a place for you to live." ”

Li Qing heard some flavor from his words, and said happily: "Is it too much to give me a room to live in?" ”

"Of course, you are the chief of the guard, according to the rules, there should be a separate courtyard, no! I'm going to find Li Jingzhong, this dead eunuch will definitely deceive his life and arrange the worst for you. Li Hugun saw that Li Qing was not interested in his sister, and he was obliged to go to ask for a house for him.

"You go to the bar! I'll spare you today. Li Qing knew that Li Jingzhong would not be as simple as just a room to find himself, otherwise what would it matter if he said it tomorrow, he must want to thank himself for the gift he gave him, and Li Jingzhong couldn't ignore it. Thinking of this, he said to Wang Changling and the others: "I'll find an inn for you to live in first, and we'll move when I get the house." ”

He called Cui Liuliu again, "I have something to do, I'll send you back first!" ”

Cui Liuliu looked out at the bustling lamp market, but the answer was beyond everyone's expectations, this unruly and selfish eldest lady actually nodded, "You go get busy!" I can go back myself. ”

Li Hugun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and pinched his leg fiercely, this was definitely a big event that caused a sensation in Chang'an City.

Li Qing smiled slightly, "Or I'll accompany you to walk around the lights again, anyway, it's also a stop." ”

Cui Liuliu's eyes slowly let out the light, a touch of red quietly flew on her face, she lowered her head and hurriedly ran out, and her silver bell-like laughter came from the door, "I'll lead the horse!" ”

It was very quiet in the wine shop, and countless eyes were gathered on Li Qing's body, admiring, envious, sympathetic, and gloating.

"If you want a red envelope, you will give it to the old man to bow his head and eat!"

.

Shangyuan night is the day of the national carnival, the Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji is no exception, every year the palace is lit up, there are palace maids holding lanterns for night tours, Li Longji will lead the clan girls to gather together, enjoy the lanterns and play the moon together, and share the joy of family. However, there are some changes in this year's 15th lantern appreciation, Li Longji issued an edict three days ago, and tonight the lanterns will be enjoyed with the people and share the prosperity of the world. This is what Yang Yuhuan means, she doesn't like the false atmosphere of the palace lanterns, but wants to experience the real jubilation and excitement of the people.

Having fun with the people does not mean that Li Longji needs to pretend to be an old farmer and drag Yang Yuhuan, who is dressed as a village girl, to gather in the crowd, but to sit high on the tower of the Vermilion Bird Gate, looking down on the small people and the prosperous Tang Dynasty at his feet, the city tower is extremely heavily guarded, and a large group of colorful concubines dressed up in flowers are surrounded by him, although Li Longji has not publicly canonized Yang Yuhuan, but he has officially told the ancestors when he worships the temple in the New Year, and set up Yang Yuhuan as a concubine, Li Longji has no queen and concubine, so Yang Yuhuan's concubine is actually the head of the East Palace, so he sits next to Li Longji.

Hundreds of princes, kings, unmarried princesses, and county lords spread out in the shape of wings, sitting on both sides of Li Longji, accompanying him to watch the bright city and experience the royal mind of the world.

Suzaku Street seems to be a long dragon with brilliant lights, bowing its head at the foot of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji silently watched the people watching the lanterns under the city tower, listening to their laughter, and experiencing the joy of their ordinary hearts with his heart, unconsciously, a trace of imperceptible loneliness flashed under his long eyebrows.

He leaned over and whispered to Yang Yuhuan beside him: "Only now did I realize Yuhuan's painstaking efforts, it turned out that the purpose of Yuhuan was to let me experience the feelings of the people. ”

Yang Yuhuan held a light Luo small fan to cover her mouth, her eyes flowed, and she smiled lightly: "It is San Lang who works hard day and night on state affairs, and the Tang Dynasty has such a prosperous atmosphere, what Yuhuan is thinking about now is when we will also sit in a small sedan chair and really walk into the people, like them,

Laugh, look at the lights and look at the people. ”

Yang Yuhuan's words said Li Longji's thoughts, he looked at the clans on both sides with solemn faces, and said with emotion: "I don't want to, it's just that I can't help myself!" ”

Yang Yuhuan approached Li Longji slightly, with the help of a wide dress, stretched out her warm little hand to hold Li Longji's slightly cold hand, the two no longer said a word, leaned together, and carefully experienced the love of the willow branches on the moon, for a long time, Li Longji gradually recovered the emperor's heart, and the small people under his feet also became a grain of dust, he gently patted the back of Yang Yuhuan's hand, and smiled at her, Yang Yuhuan quietly retracted his hand, and turned his head and whispered to Li Jingyan behind him, Li Jingyan is Li Longji's grandnephew, According to the etiquette system, the county chairman should sit on the other side, but Yang Yuhuan has been very interested in her in the past two days, so he asked her to sit behind him so that she can talk.

The heat and coldness of the world made Li Jingyan more silent in addition to being cold, she only knew that it was Li Qing this afternoon, a little person she had never looked down on to save her fate, she was very shocked, she couldn't think of how he did it, but these are not important, the important thing is that he saved her, from that moment on Li Jingyan was grateful to Li Qing.

It is a boring and boring thing to watch the lantern with the emperor, all the princes of the clan are sitting in danger, not smiling, staring at the street without expression, like a clay statue in the temple, as if they are not here to watch the lantern, but to sit and meditate.

But there is only one exception, that is Yang Huahua, she sits next to Yang Yuhuan, there is no shelter in front of her, she holds the battlements and looks down, she can't stop smiling, she is not looking at the lights, but looking at people, she is watching the swinger flirting with the little lady, looking at the handsome young man riding on a horse, especially like to see the envious expression on the face of others when they look up at her.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure walking towards the Vermilion Bird Gate, and suddenly stood up in a daze, waving her arms and shouting loudly, "Li Qing, Li Qing, I'm here!" Over here! ”

This attracted hundreds of disdainful glances, "Third sister, sit down!" Yang Yuhuan saw that she was ugly, pulled her to sit down, and smiled at Li Longji again.

"Li Qing!" Li Longji thought twice, his eyes closed slightly, and he quickly glanced at Tai with the corner of his eye, but he smiled and said, "It's okay!" Only the third sister here is the one who really watches the lanterns, isn't it a happy thing to meet friends at the lantern festival? ”

Li Qing's activity in the past two days made Li Longji very eager to see this person, and he was in the city at this time, which was an opportunity.

"Li Qing, this name is so familiar." Lin smiled: "Last time you said that the person who invented slush was also named Li Qing!" Could it be the same person. ”

Li Lin was about to casually say that it would not be such a coincidence, but he found that although Li Longji had a smile on his face, his eyes were cold, and he looked at him tightly, and the words he was about to say were retracted, and he suddenly understood that the emperor meant to say 'yes!' ’

The thought flashed through his mind, "Is it really the same person?" ”

Li Lin hurriedly took two steps forward, holding on to the battlements and looking down, sure enough, it was Li Qing, he also seemed to hear Yang Huahua's shout, and was looking up and looking around, Li Lin's heart suddenly realized, it turned out that Li Qing knew Yang Yuhuan's sister, and it must have been through her that Yang Yuhuan's road was taken, so that the emperor canceled his daughter's decision to be pro-Khitan.

"Your Majesty! He is Li Qing, who invented slush. ”

What Li Longji wanted was this excuse to summon Li Qing, so he smiled at the left and right: "The slush invented by this person is my favorite summer product, I wanted to summon him for a long time, it is rare to meet him here, someone is coming!" Give him the identity of white clothes, and bring him to see me quickly. ”

Since ancient times, officialdom has been talking about ambiguity, obviously everyone knows it, but they can't say it, Li Heng met Li Qing in the Mingde Hall of the East Palace, there are clerk records, Li Longji looks at the living records every day, how can he not know; Yang Yuhuan was bumped into by Gao Lishi when he met Li Qing, how could Li Longji not know, but at this time, Li Longji pretended to hear it for the first time, how could Li Heng and Yang Yuhuan not know.

Hearing that Li Longji was going to summon Li Qing, Li Lin saw that Tai looked a little nervous, so he stepped forward and said: "Report to the emperor, this Li Qing is actually not in vain, the previous year, the minister and Jiannan Jiedu envoy Zhang Qiu and Qiong and him were the chief bookkeepers of Yibin County, he went to Beijing on business in the new year, and the minister saw that he was quite capable, so he recommended him to Tai." ”

He turned his head to Li Heng again and said, "Your Highness, this Li Qing is the Yibin County Master Li Qing you met a few days ago. ”

Li Heng hurriedly reported to Li Longji: "Father, a few days ago, King Ning recommended this person to his ministers, and the ministers met him, and he really felt that this person's temperament was not ordinary, so he planned to use him as the chief of the guard of the East Palace, and named him the captain of Zhaowu, and he had not had time to report this matter to his father, and asked his father to forgive him." ”

Li Longji smiled faintly, "Why do you need to report such a trivial matter to me, it's just that I'm more interested in seeing him." ”
