Ah, Han Rui was immediately dumbfounded, and the sweat that had disappeared came out again.

"Haha, don't worry, it'll be fine." Li Jing didn't have much bad taste, and explained with a smile: "The reason why we don't want to win is mainly because we are worried that Your Majesty will lose, and we always want to turn the tables around, endless entanglement, and those officials also use this to impeach, I don't want to cause this trouble, but you don't have to worry." ”

Han Rui immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was also the emperor who killed people and vented his anger because of losing chess, only Yang Guang could be, and it should definitely not be Li Shimin's style of acting.

"The banquet has begun, and I'm leaving." Li Jing got up and said with a smile: "To give you a reminder, if Your Majesty is still looking for you to play chess, if you can lose, try not to win, otherwise Your Majesty will rise up and make you a chess attendant, then you will not be allowed to shirk." ”

Han Rui hurriedly responded, stood up, watched Li Jing leave, rejuvenated his muscles and bones, waited until his qi and blood were unimpeded, and then left quickly, beating around the bush, and finally found Helan Chushi, only to see him in a trance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and at a glance, he knew that he was already intoxicated with love, completely ignoring things outside his body.

waved his hand in front of him, and sure enough, there was no reaction, Han Rui sighed helplessly, and said to himself: "Just now, I played against Your Majesty......"

"What?" Helan Chushi exclaimed, and hurriedly said, "What's going on?" ”

"What, don't miss your Tong'er anymore?" Han Rui didn't have a good airway.

With a shy face, Helan Chushi said cheekily: "Tong'er can think whenever you want, but Your Majesty is not so easy to meet, and you are playing against it, your luck is really too good to be jealous." ”

"I don't know if it's a disaster." Han Rui muttered.

"What do you mean?"

At the same time, in the Li Palace, it can be said that there is a scene of light singing and dancing, laughter and laughter, the sound of orchestral bamboo strings, melodious and tactful, dozens of girls in light clothes and tulle, dancing, wide sleeves like clouds, beautiful posture, accompanied by the rhythm of music, stretching the delicate and floating figure, full of the beauty of the breeze and flowing clouds.

This kind of music with a light rhythm, only a few officials who are proficient in the rhythm of the music, only know how to appreciate it, intoxicated in the wonderful artistic conception, as for others, they also appreciate the girl's dancing posture, the same art, but the angle of viewing is different, naturally the kind of gaze / naked, the expression of hating to swallow people, will never appear in such a solemn occasion.

Even the military attaché general, who has always been rough, behaved much more elegantly at this moment than before, at least with his wife and daughter watching by his side, he did not dare to be too presumptuous, and he was more concentrated on dealing with the wine and food before the case, which made the atmosphere of the banquet very peaceful, staggered, and very harmonious.

After personally toasting the emperor Li Yuan with three glasses of alcohol, Li Shimin returned his seat, took the silk scarf handed by the eldest grandson, wiped the corners of his lips slightly, and said with a chuckle: "Playing against others, I haven't lost so much for a long time, I ignored the time for a while, fortunately the queen reminded me, otherwise it would be rude." ”

"Hey, does anyone finally dare to win Your Majesty?" Empress Eldest Sun smiled and said, "It's still these generals who are more courageous. ”

"Wei Zheng, Yu Shinan and others also dare to win, but playing against them, you have to admonish a few words after taking a few steps, which makes people extremely tasteless." Li Shimin shook his head and sighed, complaining: "But the queen guessed wrong, those generals are as cunning as foxes, let them accompany me to play chess, but they regard me like a flood beast, you push me, and refuse to follow ......"

Empress Eldest Sun smiled lightly, neither echoing nor refuting the admonition, but just listened quietly, her eyes were like water, full of tenderness.

As if he was venting, he reprimanded those generals from beginning to end, Li Shimin was satisfied, and said with a smile: "It's still a young man with a simple mind, no shreddedness, no humility at all, pressing step by step, if it weren't for my alertness, I'm afraid the whole army would be wiped out, instead of nine deaths." ”

"In this case, Your Majesty can make him a chess attendant, and you don't have to worry about no one to play with you." Empress Eldest Sun smiled and said her proposal.

"Chess Edict?" Li Shimin was slightly stunned, and suddenly smiled: "No, that's too condescending." ”

Well, the eldest grandson's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, thoughtfully.

At this moment, Li Tai raised his glass, walked out, and saluted Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Empress Changsun in turn. ”

As we all know, Li Tai is known for his talents, and besides, in front of the emperor and queen, who dares not to give face, they will naturally respond one after another, and some people have already made up their minds in their hearts, no matter what Li Tai's poetry is, they can just applaud and applaud.

The eldest grandson queen frowned slightly, and said with pity: "Qingque, this kid just can't bear the surname." ”

"That's free, there's nothing wrong with that." Li Shimin said with a smile, he is a strict father and mother, but when he came to him, it was completely reversed.

"Your Majesty, don't always defend for him." Empress Eldest Sun shook her head slightly, and sighed: "The body size has increased again, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to worship in the future, how to be good." ”

Li Shimin smiled and said with relief: "You are too careful, and the auxiliary machine is like this, I haven't seen how he is." ”

Empress Changsun was a little relieved, at this time, Li Tai also made a poem, naturally won the applause of the house, the sound of praise, endlessly, although it was not the ultimate flattery, but the Empress Changsun couldn't listen to it, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the language is pleasing to the ear, but it is also easy to increase the arrogance of the green sparrow, but it is not a blessing." ”

Li Shimin disagreed in his heart, but on the surface he agreed: "The queen is reasonable. ”

Sensing this, Empress Eldest Sun said angrily: "Erlang, are you perfunctory to me." ”

"How so." Li Shimin smiled and said softly: "Then you say, what should I do." ”

After pondering for a moment, Empress Eldest Sun said: "Aren't a few bachelors here, let them write poems, and let Qingque know that the world's talents are as many as stars, and you can't be proud and complacent after listening to a few words of praise." ”

The will was handed down, and a group of scholars readily agreed, for them, this is already a matter of course, and they immediately waved their pens, and they also received bursts of applause, but since it is a poem made by edict, the level is naturally not very good, and it is said to be a mediocre work, which may be a little excessive, but it is definitely not a good product.

"Erlang, maybe it's my delusion," flipping through the paper in her hand, Empress Changsun frowned quietly and said softly: "How do you feel, the poems of several bachelors seem to be inferior to before." ”

"Really? It seems to be too. Li Shimin was confused, took the notepaper and flipped through a few sheets, and he also agreed a little in his heart, but explained with a smile: "Maybe today, they are not in the state." ”

"That's not right." Empress Eldest Sun shook her head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Even if Wensi is bitter, there is no reason why it is all like this, there must be some reason for it." ”

Li Shimin was also thinking about it, his eyes wandered, and he fell on the peony pattern on the clothes of the eldest grandson queen, and suddenly smiled, and said softly: "Guanyin, I seem to understand what the reason is?" ”

"What's going on?" Empress Eldest Sun asked curiously.

"As the saying goes, it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity." Li Shimin said with a smile: "You are like this now, you are used to wearing silk and satin, and then wearing coarse linen clothes, naturally you are a little uncomfortable." ”

Empress Eldest Sun's beautiful eyes fluttered, and she said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has taught you a very good lesson, and the concubine will change her clothes when she says it." ”

Uh, it seems to be a bit self-defeating, Li Shimin hurriedly explained: "Guanyin, you misunderstood, I'm making a metaphor, I mean that with Zhuyu in front, the poetry of several bachelors is ordinary." ”

Empress Eldest Sun was thoughtful, her eyes flashed slightly, and she hesitated: "What Your Majesty said is ......"

"Well, rumors, with him present, no one dares to pick up the pen, and I don't know whether it's true or not, I'm afraid it's an exaggeration." Li Shimin said, lightly beckoned a palace maid, and whispered a few words.

Seeing the palace maid leaving, Empress Eldest Sun was curious, but she didn't ask, but Li Shimin couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "Guanyin, that person is here, you can help me look at it and see if he deserves a great reputation." ”

"Under the fame, there should be no vain." Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.

"We'll see."

The emperor and queen were in front, whispering, naturally attracting attention, but no one dared to disturb, continued to stagger, for a moment, suddenly found that the orchestral music stopped, those graceful girls, also raised their long sleeves, but stepped out, the fat fragrance gradually flew, it is also a regrettable thing.

At this moment, under the guidance of a palace maid, a handsome young man floated in, his eyes were clear, his steps were steady, he seemed to be calm, but his heart was uneasy.

"It's him, when did he come?" Someone shouted softly, bewildered.

Someone immediately asked, "Who is that?" ”

"That's it...... Han Rui. ”

"Oh, it's him." It suddenly dawned on me that this name was not the slightest strange, and I often heard people mention it, but I rarely saw me.

The sound of discussion came faintly, but Han Rui turned a deaf ear, and even more ignored it, but seeing a few pairs of caring eyes in the banquet, he still stopped slightly, and then accelerated his speed, walked to the edge of the front desk, and bowed several feet away.

"Han Rui."

Li Shimin's voice floated in, and when the matter came to an end, Han Rui calmed down, hurriedly responded, raised his head, and looked at the high platform openly.

Li Shimin remained silent and said in an ordinary tone: "Some time ago, you wrote a poem to praise the peony, which was deeply appreciated by the queen and rewarded. ”

"The minister is very lucky, thank you for the queen's gift." Han Rui said naturally.

"When I said, I will use two of them to metaphorize the queen, but unfortunately it is not your true intention." Li Shimin said playfully: "Now that the queen is in person, I ordered you to praise her with poetry as a way to make up for it, how about it?" ”

You said it, who dares to object, Han Rui muttered in his heart, knowing that there was no room for refusal, and quickly glanced at Empress Changsun, it is indeed a national color and heavenly fragrance, as for the specific appearance, then I can't say, after all, Li Shimin is next to him, unless he dies, who dares to stare at it.

"Father, the son has a eulogy, Kun is on track, Tong is in charge of Wei ......"
