Li Bai, Meng Haoran, Wang Zhilian. The three of them arrived in Luoyang in a light snowfall, three days ago.

Although Du Shiyi successfully achieved some goals because of the polo match in the palace, whether it was the hints of Concubine Wu Hui or the crown prince Li Hong, he once fell into a rather embarrassing situation. However, Li Bai and others arrived in Luoyang from Daizhou, and he was still overjoyed when he learned the news, and held a banquet at home that night to wash the dust and catch the wind for them.

Meng Haoran followed Wang Wei to Yunzhou to play, and then was dragged to Daizhou by Du Shiyi, and Wang Wei hurriedly returned because of the loss of his wife, although he intended to go to mourn, but was persuaded by Li Bai to explain that it was Wang Wei's family matter, and it was better for outsiders to be less involved, so he stayed in Daizhou until the new acting governor took office, and he was polite to them on the surface, but in fact he was jealous, and the three of them stayed for a few months and then went south together.

Although Wang Wei and Li Bai are not close, but the open-minded Meng Haoran gets along with both of them very well, Wang Wei returned to his hometown, he and Li Bai are deed, plus Wang Zhilian, who is the most proficient in bragging and drinking, the three of them went south from Daizhou all the way, not only were they not lonely, but they also left a dripping ink treasure in a hotel inn along the way.

Therefore, when Du Shiyi personally wrote a letter and introduced them to Princess Yuzhen, Princess Yuzhen, who had rarely been happy in recent days, immediately ordered a flowing banquet and summoned many literati and artists she was familiar with. In addition to Wei Zhi and Wei Bin, who were quite good friends with Wang Wei and Cui Hao, even Zhang Xu rarely agreed, and even dragged his in-law He Zhizhang over on this day. This group of people got carried away when they were happy, and when Du Shiyi was late, they happened to meet Wei Zhi and Wei Bin's brothers and quietly fled the table.

Wei Zhi and Wei Bin are the sons of Wei Anshi, Wei Kang and Wei Zheng's brothers, that is, Wei Li's uncle's generation. The two brothers in their early forties looked a little similar, although they were not familiar with Du Shiyi, but when they met each other, Wei Zhi smiled as if he regarded Du Shiyi as a peer: "Today's Junli is late, your lord saw that everyone was drinking, and he couldn't help but get drunk. My brother and I really couldn't stand their drunken madness, so we had to run away. ”

"I'm an introducer after all, it's not good to not even show my face, fortunately Brother Wei said that they were drunk, otherwise I really have to stay in for a while. When I heard that Brother Wei was about to be transferred to the Ministry of Langzhong, I would like to say congratulations here. Du Shiyi arched her hand with a smile as she spoke. The Son of Heaven was dissatisfied with Tang Rongsi, who was in charge of the Ministry of Officials Lang in charge of Liuwaiquan before, he had already recommended Pei Ning as a member of the Wailang, and there was no way or the person who had the ability to dominate the five rank of the Ministry of Officials, who knew that the Son of Heaven looked east and west, and actually picked Wei Zhi, which was a surprise for him. Even if he and Wei Zhi didn't talk a few times, it was not Li Linfu's person

"Although it is a flat tone in terms of grade, but changing from the military department to the ministry can be regarded as a promotion in the end." Wei Zhi didn't say anything humble, but bowed his head slightly, "I heard that Pei Sanlang is a first-class capable person, and when he enters Beijing to take office, I believe that he will be able to rectify Liuwaiquan into a new appearance." ”

"It's hard work with Brother Lowe."

Although Wei Bin didn't say anything, Du Shiyi still greeted him thoughtfully, and when he saw the two brothers leave, he turned around and entered the hall where Princess Yuzhen was holding a banquet today, and he was immediately startled by the scene in front of him. He only arrived more than an hour later than the time of the banquet, and as a result, Li Bai and He Zhizhang, the old and young, directly lay in the center and fell asleep, Meng Haoran was still pushing the cup and changing the lamp with Zhang Xu, and he didn't notice him coming at all, and after a while, they all slipped down on the carpet, Wang Zhilian slept soundly against the pillar, as for Princess Yuzhen, who was the master, she should have been sitting in the center, but at this time she was lying down on the desk, where was there any golden branches and jade leaves.

What made him speechless the most was that there was not a single servant or servant in this huge place, and there was a room full of drunkards lying in all directions

He turned around and was about to go outside to call someone, but he almost collided with Huo Qing, who came in front of him. Seeing that the latter hurriedly saluted, he said falsely: "You don't need to be polite. I also said that why is it like this, dare to love because Huo Niangzi is not here. Although there is a dragon in the house, but on a cold day, the viewer is a woman, if the cold enters the body, it will be a big trouble, first settle the viewer, and the others will also carry them to the guest room

Huo Qing found an excuse to go out this time, and it was two days and one night when he left, and when he came back, he found that the banquet in this courtyard had become such a scene, and he was very upset in his heart, and after agreeing, he hurriedly went outside to call someone. When she took the two maidservants to settle Princess Yuzhen in person, she hurried back to find Du Shiyi. Seeing him standing at the foot of the high mountain spring in the backyard, as if he didn't notice that the wind was strong at the moment, he stood with his hands behind his back and looked up intently at the spring that had not been frozen in the cold winter, so she hurriedly stepped forward.

"Du Zhongshu."

"Lady Huo, are you all settled?" Du Shiyi, who turned around, asked bluntly, and seeing Huo Qiong nodded, he pondered for a moment before reminding, "After all, the Lord is not as good as it was back then, plus the eldest princess of the Golden Immortal has just passed away, she will inevitably feel depressed, so she just drank too much, you are the most trusted person of your lord, it is better to accompany her more on weekdays." ”

If someone else said this, Huo Qing agreed in his mouth, but Du Shiyi would remind him like this, obviously because of worry and concern, so Huo Qing's heart warmed, not only did he feel unhappy, but he also bowed deeply, and then straightened up and thanked sincerely.

"Du Zhongshu's kindness, I must keep it in mind, if I go out again in the future, I will definitely not make such a mistake today. However, I also wanted to surprise your lord when I left this time, I learned that the Taizhen lady was about to arrive in Luoyang, so I found an excuse to take someone to Xin'an, and sure enough, I met the Yang family and his party. Knowing your lord's current situation, Taizhen Niangzi has already agreed, and after arriving in Luoyang, she met with the Yang family, and immediately went to Anguo Female Taoist Temple to accompany your lord. ”

What the? Yunu has already arrived in Xin'an?

Confirming that Huo Qing couldn't be a slur, Du Shiyi couldn't help but sink in his heart. Back then, Wang Shouyi coveted Yunu, and he entrusted people to Princess Yuzhen because there was already some discord between Queen Wang and Princess Yuzhen's sister-in-law, and Princess Yuzhen had enough ability to refuse any unreasonable requests from the middle palace, and to make trouble in front of the Son of Heaven at the right time, it could also have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. However, Concubine Wu Hui is not as clever as Queen Wang, and her means are more clever and scheming, and Queen Wang only has a brother like Wang Shouyi to help outside, such as Zhang Jiazhen, even if she is the prime minister, she does not support the Middle Palace everywhere, but now Concubine Wu Hui has Li Linfu as an arm, and many courtiers in the court know that she is favored by the Son of Heaven, and she will be faintly convenient

In all fairness, since he knows that the history he has been trying his best to reverse may still slide in that direction, if possible, he would like the jade slave to stay in Shu at this time, but with Yang Xuanyan's death, the foundation of the Yang family in Shu is not as good as before, and Yang Xuanqi is also quite caring for his nieces, how can he let the jade slave whose parents died live alone in Shu? But at this moment, when he arrived in the Eastern Capital, Huo Qing didn't know why he wanted Yu Nu to come here to accompany Princess Yu Zhen, which was simply ......

He suddenly realized a possibility, and immediately asked, "How can Lady Huo know the Dao, Yu Nu...... The Yang family has already arrived in Xin'an? ”

Huo Qing didn't quite understand why Du Shiyi asked this, but he still replied truthfully: "It was when I went to buy tea for your lord once, and I heard someone mention the situation of the Yang family in the river, and then I learned that Yang Xuanqi escorted his nieces back from Yazhou. Others say that when Yunu's father Yang Changshi of Yazhou was in office, the tea produced in Yazhou was extremely stable, and the tea in the tea market could not be sold at a high price......

Du Shiyi didn't bother to listen anymore. Yang Xuanyan is certainly a person with good execution, but his influence on the entire Yazhou tea market is still very limited, not to mention that because Yazhou is the lower capital governor's mansion, and it is the place where wild tea and camellia cultivation are most concentrated in Shuzhong, so Zhang Jian has also been transferred after the first term of Shuzhou Sihu and the second term of Yizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to join the military. It was clear that someone had figured out Huo Qing's psychology and course of action, so he deliberately said these words to her

"Du Zhongshu, Du Zhongshu?"

Du Shiyi, who came back to his senses, saw that Huo Qing's face was a little unsightly, so he said lightly: "Huo Niangzi, you are the most trusted person of the master, and the jade slave also regards you as an elder, and I won't hide it from you, I heard rumors that Concubine Hui intended to choose a concubine for King Shou, and maybe she has a little meaning for the jade slave." Yunu is still serving filial piety now, if she can, let her stay in the view and cultivate, and try to see outsiders as little as possible, and I will do the same. I almost killed her back then, and now I don't want her to get involved in all the tricks and tricks. ”

Huo Qing had followed Princess Yuzhen for so many years, and he understood what Du Shiyi meant in an instant. Her face turned pale and she was about to explain, but she saw Du Shiyi waving her hand to herself again.

"Huo Niangzi, I don't want to blame you. Since the jade slave is about to go to Luoyang, even if he lives in the Yang family, the situation will never be better than here. At least, I don't really believe that my uncle and aunt, who I haven't seen for many years, will treat her better than the master of Guan Zhu, and will treat her more considerately than you. All in all, I don't need to tell her these things, I just hope that she can live for herself as she pleases in this life, whether it is to study music and rhythm, whether it is to learn all kinds of dances, I just hope that she can live happily. ”

Huo Qing only felt as if his heart had been hit by a heavy hammer, and finally bowed down deeply and convincingly: "Du Zhongshu, rest assured, I will definitely protect Mrs. Taizhen." There is only one proud disciple of the master, just like the eldest princess of the Golden Immortal treated the Yuyao lady back then, she has always regarded the Taizhen lady as her own daughter, and she will never let outsiders easily calculate her."
