Mrs. Wei's house was brightly lit, as if she wanted to hold a large banquet. In fact, this is a small banquet specially held by Helan Minyue for Li Hong, I had a nightmare, and I had a premonition, I felt that my time was running out, and Helan Minyue's life was even more luxurious.

When Li Hong came to the mansion of Mrs. Wei, he was taken aback by this luxurious scene, and saw all kinds of flowers blooming in the garden, coupled with colorful lanterns, which illuminated the garden with golden brilliance, and Li Hong was even more shocked when the pavilion where the banquet was held today was all wrapped in silk, the floor was covered with precious blankets, and the incense burner on the table was burning sandalwood... The smoke fills the garden with a faint fragrance...

"Your Highness, are you here?" Seeing Li Hong, Helan Minyue walked up to him and said softly.

Seeing that Li Hong looked a little nervous, Helan Minyue ordered everyone in the garden to retreat. In this way, she and Li Hong were left in the garden.

"Today, it's all for you Gorou, do you like it?" Helan Minyue asked, and stepped forward to take Li Hong's hand, with a gentle and charming face.

"Why?" Li Hong asked, he found that Helan Minyue today was a little weird, and he didn't want the Helan Minyue he saw in the past, Helan Minyue tonight seemed very lonely and weak.

"It's nothing, I just want to be luxurious for you." Helan Minyue said, taking Li Hong's hand and pulling him into the pavilion.

Li Hong looked at the dishes in the pavilion, all of them were his favorite foods when he was a child, and when he grew up, because of his body, his daily food was decided by the imperial doctor, so he hadn't eaten many of these dishes for a long time.

"Do you remember?" Li Hong asked with emotion.

"Remember, why don't you remember, didn't we often steal these things when we were young?" Helan Minyue said mischievously, it seems that time has returned to the scene when she and Li Hong were young.

"Gorou, do you like listening to the piano? Shall I talk about a song for you? Helan Minyue said. Seeing Li Hong nodding slightly, she walked to the side where she stopped and lifted the silk lid on it, revealing the piano stand and a precious guzheng.

Li Hong sat in the pavilion and poured himself a glass of wine.

Helan Minyue glanced at Li Hong, her eyes were full of infinite love, and as soon as she swiped the strings with both hands, the guzheng made a crisp sound.

Helan Minyue's piano skills are very superb, which is willing to be trained by Mrs. Han when she was young, so she will be favored by Gaozong, because she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy, dance and music, and it is not an exaggeration to describe her as a talented woman...

Zheng――

When the first note floated out, Li Hong knew what Helan Minyue was playing, this piece was still written when he was a child, when he heard Helan Minyue practicing the piano, he specially wrote this not very beginner tune, but at that time he was also writing and playing, but he didn't expect Helan Minyue to remember it all the time, and he also practiced this tune.

This piece is not bleak originally, it is a very cheerful tune.

But when it was played from Helan Minyue's hand today, the effect was different, in addition to a faint sorrow, there was also a hint of low lovesickness.

Li Hong drank a lot, and he drank very slowly tonight, but when he listened to this song, he was a little drunk... In the haze, he seemed to see Helan Minyue coming to him, she was so young, so energetic, so innocent and straightforward...

Gorou - Gorou -

Li Hong seemed to hear the long-lost shout, making him young and unrestrained call-

Suddenly, there was a "Zheng" sound, the tune changed, and Li Hong's thoughts returned to his eyes, he found that he was not drunk, he only drank two glasses of wine, but his eyes were a little moist, and when he looked at Helan Minyue, his eyes were already full of tears...

Why is this happening? Do you still have feelings for her? Li Hong was a little dazed, he had forgotten her!

Why is it so uncomfortable, is this memory still there, still hidden in my heart? Otherwise, why would he be so sad, Li Hong asked himself in his heart.

"Yue'er, don't play." Li Hong suddenly said that Yue'er was his nickname for Helan Minyue when he was a child.

When Helan Minyue heard Li Hong call herself like this, her body shook, and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and her eyes suddenly welled up...

"Goro, have you finally admitted our past relationship?" Helan Minyue said excitedly, she strode inside, knelt in front of Li Hong, stared at Li Hong with her eyes tightly and asked.

Li Hong nodded slightly, there was no need for him to lie to himself, let alone Helan Minyue.

"But it's too late!" Li Hong said that no matter what was between them before, there will be nothing after that, this is an indisputable fact, and it is also an emotion that Li Hong and Helan Minyue must restrain themselves.

Helan Minyue's expression froze suddenly, and she replied only after half a sound, "Yes, it's too late between us—"

At this moment, she seemed to be lost in her soul, like a soulless walking corpse. Li Hong didn't comfort her, because he knew that it was useless to comfort her now, it depended on whether she could see it.

Li Hong was silent while drinking, he found that since he walked into this garden tonight, his thoughts have been in memory, the bits and pieces between him and Helan Minyue, and the memories of his childhood, these memories suddenly poured into his mind, making him fall into an inexplicable stinky Cinderella. Since he returned to the Tang Dynasty, he can escape the memories of Li Hong's childhood, he doesn't want to think about it anymore, he doesn't want to touch it anymore, he thought he had forgotten these memories, but today he found out that all this is there, just because he closed the past feelings and sealed them in his heart, today Helan Minyue evoked their memories, and also evoked the memories of his childhood in his heart.

"Gorou, you're right, we can't go back, I'm too persistent today." After a long time, Helan Minyue walked up to Li Hong and said with a charming smile.

"Yue'er, no matter what, you have to survive well." Li Hong said. He thought of Mount Tai's sealing of Zen in October this year, and thought that when Mount Tai sealed Zen, the martial queen was going to poison the young and beautiful woman in front of him, and his heart was uncomfortable to death.

Helan Minyue's face changed for a moment, and she returned to her old smile, "It's okay, I can have a drink with Wulang tonight, Yue'er is already very happy, Yue'er is very satisfied now, really satisfied." ”

After Helan Minyue finished speaking, she poured a glass of wine for Li Hong, then returned to her seat and poured herself a glass of wine, raised her glass and said to Li Hong, "Wulang, Yue'er toasts you." ”

"Please—" Li Hong raised his glass and drank it all.

The two chatted and drank at the same time, and before they knew it, it was already in the middle of the moon.

"Tonight's banquet is a bit extravagant." Li Hong sighed with emotion, how much money does it take to be able to arrange such a brilliant scene.

"Is this still extravagant?" Helan Minyue was surprised, Li Honggui is the crown prince, what kind of luxury has not been enjoyed, how can he be extravagant with the arrangement in front of him?

"Spent a lot of money, didn't you?" Li Hong asked.

"Uh-10,000 copper coins." Helan Minyue was stunned for a moment and replied.

"So much?" Li Hong was surprised.

Even more surprised than him was Helan Minyue, 10,000 copper coins is too much, is this still the prince of the Tang Dynasty? How to feel more like a beggar. If you want to say that Li Hong has no money, Helan Minyue doesn't believe it, the last time she fought dogs, she knew that Li Hong had won millions of copper coins from foreign nobles.

"Is it much?" Helan Minyue asked, "Could it be that Gorou is very short of money?" ”

Li Hong nodded slightly, he is short of money now, and even less gold.

Because he found that if he wanted to deal with Empress Wu, in addition to using means in the political and political struggle, he also had to find ways in other aspects, which was the economy, and only by mastering the economic lifeline of the Tang Dynasty and his identity as the crown prince could he fight with Empress Wu. Besides, Li Xian has bad intentions, and he has been peeping at his position as the prince for a long time, and the people who support Li Xian are the Shi clan lords like the Fan Yang Lu clan and the Qinghe Cui clan, they control the salt and iron business, and their strength is very huge, and if they want to fight with Li Xian in the future, they can't run out of money, so Li Hong is very eager to establish his own bank, issue his own currency, and want to control Datang's finance as soon as possible...

"How much money Gorou needs, see if I can help you." Helan Minyue asked. Gaozong rewarded her with a lot of things, and when her mother was alive, Gaozong also rewarded her with a lot of things, all of which were in her house, so she was not short of money. Besides, she still has an industry in Chang'an City, and she has a lot of income every year, which is enough for her expenses.

"Not only is there a lack of money, but there is also a lack of gold." Li Hong sighed.

"Gold?" Helan Minyue was surprised, "What do you want so much gold for?" ”

"Open a bank, issue money." Li Hong said simply, and did not explain anything to Helan Minyue, but Helan Minyue still saw the huge business opportunities in Li Hong's expression.

"Gorou, if you really need it, Yue'er has 80,000 taels of gold here that can be lent to you first." Helan Minyue said without hesitation. The 80,000 taels of gold were the wealth that her mother had looted when she was still alive.

"Eighty thousand taels of gold?" Li Hong was surprised and said, Helan Minyue had so much gold, which was a lot of money. He now has 40,000 taels of gold to buy a dog, plus the gold he made up, a total of 60,000 taels of gold reserves, if you add Helan Minyue's 80,000 taels of gold as a reserve, it is enough to open a small bank in Chang'an City.

Wouldn't it be better to open a small bank and wait until the gold reserves are sufficient, and then expand the operation and issue currency?

Li Hong was overjoyed, and suddenly found that the shadow hanging over his head had just dispersed...

"Thank you Yue'er, don't worry, your gold will not be borrowed in vain, when the bank is established, I will give you 13% of the shares." Li Hong assured. Don't look at the 3 percent of the shares, but once the bank grows, issues currency, and becomes the central bank of Datang, the 13 percent of the shares will be worth a fortune.

"As long as Gorou needs it, what can't Yue'er give you, and what else can you borrow for nothing?" Helan Minyue said charmingly, poured a glass of wine, got up and walked in front of Li Hong, poured a glass of wine for Li Hong and said, "If Wulang has a heart, let's have a drink with Yue'er!" ”

Li Hong raised his glass and had a drink with Helan Minyue.

After this glass of wine, Fa found that he was a little dizzy in front of his eyes, and then he fell on the blanket with a clatter.

Helan Minyue saw that Li Hong was drunk and fell unconscious on the blanket, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she leaned over and lightly touched Li Hong's lips.

However... She got up and walked to the pillar of the pavilion, untied a rope, and saw that the silk wrapped around the pavilion suddenly spread out, and covered the pavilion tightly... The candlelight in the pavilion was flickering, the sandalwood was curling, and only the tumbling figures in the pavilion could be seen outside the pavilion, and there was a wheezing sound...
