The sky has gradually reached dusk, it is still early spring at this time, it is dark very early, the lights have been lit in the Huaqing Palace, and the two palace maids are holding lanterns and guiding Li Qing'an in front.

"General Li, please go this way!"

In the huge complex of Huaqing Palace, Li Qingan didn't know how many bends he had made, how many doors he had entered, his head was a little dizzy, and the two palace maids were going to take him to bathe and change clothes, and with a warm and humid breath coming to his face, the two palace maids pushed open a door.

"General Li, it's here!"

This is a hot spring room, the light is dim, a huge white jade screen divides the room into two, there are two good-looking palace maids waiting to bathe in the bath, they have received instructions in advance, seeing Li Qingan come in, they immediately stepped forward and gave a light salute, "General, please change clothes!" ”

If it is picturesque and serving himself to bathe, it doesn't hurt, but these two strange palace maids serving make Li Qingan very uncomfortable, he nodded and said, "I'll come by myself, you can retreat!" ”

"Yes!" The faces of the two palace maids were slightly red, and after flashing to the screen, Li Qingan looked at the bath room, inside the screen was a lotus-shaped bath, steaming, and it was vaguely visible that there were spring bubbles bubbling on the water surface, the spring water was crystal clear, the water flowed out of the bathhouse from a small ditch, and incense was smoked somewhere, and the whole bath room was filled with a rich sweet fragrance.

After marching thousands of miles all the way, he just arrived in Chang'an and rushed to Huaqing Palace, Li Qingan was really tired, he immediately took off his military uniform, jumped into the bath naked, the hot spring water overflowed his shoulders, and none of the 36,000 pores were uncomfortable, and he was so comfortable that he narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly, he felt two delicate hands smearing the cold and slippery liquid on his shoulders and neck, and he was thrilled, only to find that behind him stood two women, who were only wearing small obscene clothes, and their delicate bodies like mutton fat and white jade loomed in the heat.

"General, this is the potpourri brewed by the concubine Niangniang herself, and it is equipped with ambergris juice, which can best expel fatigue, Niangniang said that the general has traveled thousands of miles and is tired, so he ordered us to serve well, although the general relaxes his body, we loosen your muscles and bones for you."

Although they were a little uncomfortable, there was no need to make a fuss, this was originally their business, Li Qing'an relaxed his body and enjoyed the service of the two palace maids.

．．．．．．． After bathing, drying his body, and changing into a clean new robe, Li Qingan suddenly felt refreshed, and the two palace maids combed his hair for him, so he smiled and retreated.

"General, please come with me! The saint and the mother are already waiting. An old eunuch laughed at the door.

"Good! Lead the way ahead. ”

Two palace maids in front of the lantern, the old eunuch led Li Qing'an to the Baicao Hall for dining, the hall was full of guards, a team of eunuchs and palace maids were shuttling like busy serving meals, entering the Baicao Palace, suddenly the lights were as bright as day, the sound of silk and bamboo, a team of dancing girls were dancing, above the jade steps, there was a wide table, the table was full of all kinds of delicacies, today Li Longji invited Li Qing'an to eat in the form of a family banquet, Li Qing'an did not set up another table under the jade steps, but ate with Li Longji and Yang Guifei at the same tableThis is also a means for Li Longji to entrap ministers, and there are no more than ten ministers who can dine with them at the same table so far.

More than a dozen palace maids were waiting on the side, Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan sat at the top, and at the bottom sat a woman in palace clothes, combing her temples, she turned her back to Li Qing'an, and seemed to be a little familiar.

When Li Longji saw Li Qing'an coming, he smiled and said: "General, although you are casual, this is a family banquet, not a court, so you don't need to be bound by etiquette." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you!"

Li Qingan bowed and smiled, he nodded slightly to the woman next to him, but he was stunned for a moment, he thought it was a concubine of Li Longji, but it turned out to be Yang Huahua.

Yang Huahua had a faint smile on her face, and she bowed slightly to Li Qingan, "General, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Li Qingan also smiled slightly: "Yes! We haven't seen each other in almost two years! The third lady is more young and handsome. ”

Yang Huahua covered her mouth and smiled: "Where to talk about being young, I'm already old." ”

Since the incident in the imperial study of Daming Palace, the relationship between Yang Yuhuan and Yang Huahua sisters was cold for a while, and then the eldest sister and the second sister came forward to mediate, and the sisters reconciled, Yang Yuhuan also forgave Yang Huahua for hurting her, and treated her affectionately as before. She is involved in all the money-making businesses.

She came to Huaqing Palace three days to play, and today happened to meet the banquet Li Qing'an, after Li Qing'an was imprisoned last time, Yang Huahua's hatred for Li Qing'an has faded a lot, with the passage of time, Li Qing'an has gradually blurred in her heart, although there are still some regrets, but this regret makes it difficult for her heart to make any waves.

"How much time is General Li going to stay in Chang'an this time?"

"The details are not decided, and the time spent in Chang'an this time may be a little longer."

At this time, Yang Yuhuan next to him smiled and said, "General Li, sit down first, let's talk slowly." ”

A eunuch laid a mattress for Li Qing'an, Li Qing'an sat down, he swept his eyes, but he still didn't see Gao Lishi, he understood a little in his heart, Gao Lishi fell out of favor.

"General Li, when you come back this time, you're going to officially marry Mingyue!"

No matter when, women are most concerned about these issues, Yang Yuhuan has been paying attention to this matter, in her opinion, Li Qingan is twenty-eight years old, and Mingyue is also nineteen years old, and their marriage can not be delayed any longer.

A trace of jealousy flashed in Yang Huahua's eyes, and said: "General Li, Miss Mingyue is the second most beautiful woman in Chang'an after the noble concubine, if you leave her in Beijing alone, aren't you afraid of long nights and dreams?" ”

Li Qing'an looked at her gaze and said disdainfully: "The third lady said that she laughed, Mingyue is a person who is delicate and dutiful, I have nothing to worry about, the Sogdians have a saying, they say that flies never bite seamless eggs, although it is rough, but it is not unreasonable, what does the third lady think?" ”

Yang Huahua heard Li Qing'an's sarcasm, she felt a burst of anger in her heart, gritted her teeth and replied: "What if someone wants to break this egg?" ”

"Then I have to ask if my sword will say yes!" Li Qingan replied coldly.

Li Longji's face changed slightly, disappeared in an instant, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about these unpleasant things, come!" We drink alcohol. ”

Immediately a maid poured wine into Li Qing'an's cup, Li Qing'an picked up the wine glass and stood up and said: "Today, His Majesty and Niangniang invite the ministers to enjoy the family banquet, Your Majesty's grace, the ministers remember it in their hearts, the ministers here first salute Your Majesty and Niangniang three cups, I wish Your Majesty good health, longevity and boundlessness, I wish Niangniang a permanent youth, beauty forever, and the ministers did it first!" ”

He drank three glasses of wine in one go, Li Longji and the three of them applauded, they also drank a glass of wine, a glass of wine was drunk, Yang Yuhuan's pretty face flew a touch of red, she smiled and said, "General Li hasn't answered my question yet!" Is it to get married this time? ”

Li Qingan smiled and said: "Back to Niangniang, Mingyue has been waiting for me for several years, I should also give her a name, this time I come back, I do have the intention of getting married, if possible, the minister also wants to invite His Majesty and Niangniang to come to the wedding." ”

Yang Yuhuan was full of interest, and hurriedly pushed Li Longji and said, "Your Majesty, General Li's wedding, let's go!" ”

Li Longji stroked his beard and smiled: "Okay! If the conditions permit, we will definitely go. ”

"General, why don't you invite me?" Yang Huahua asked sourly.

"Huh! The third lady is willing to appreciate the light, of course I welcome it, I am afraid that the third lady is too busy and has no time. ”

"What am I busy with? It's nothing more than a small deal, and besides, no matter how busy I am, how can I not see the general's wedding, and when the time comes, I will definitely give a generous gift. ”

"Alright! If the time is set, I will definitely give the third lady an invitation. ”

The atmosphere on the wine table became lively, everyone drank a few glasses of wine, Li Longji suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Last time in the Battle of Shibao City, Aiqing had offered a recipe for thunderbolts, and An Lushan asked me for this recipe the month before last, saying that it was a sharp weapon to deal with the Khitans, I remember that it seemed to be sandwiched in a book at the time, but now I can't find it, I thought, since this weapon is beneficial to the Tang army, Aiqing might as well copy another copy to An Lushan." ”

Li Qingxin jumped, An Lushan actually put on the idea of gunpowder, this thief's eyes were vicious, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the formula of this thunderbolt is a bit complicated, and the minister can't remember it, wait for the minister to go back and find it, but this thing hurts the heavens and the peace, the minister suggests that you should try not to use it, use this thing, if I want to buy the hearts of the Khitan people again, it will be difficult, the minister thinks that the treatment of foreign races should be based on leniency and benevolence, and killing is the bottom, and once this thing is leaked, it will be turned against the Tang Dynasty military and civilians by the foreign race, which is more than worth the loss. The minister thinks that he should be cautious, and please think twice. ”

Li Longji just asked casually, and he didn't really take gunpowder to heart, of course, because he hadn't seen the power of gunpowder, he couldn't imagine it, on the other hand, as an emperor, he was more concerned about the outcome of the war, and would not care about the process of the war, but Li Qing'an's lenient and benevolent teachings were quite in line with his appetite, he nodded and smiled: "I just relayed An Lushan's request, if Aiqing thinks it's inappropriate, you can not give it, I don't force it." ”

Although Li Longji only casually mentioned this matter, Li Qing'an's heart sounded the alarm bell, gunpowder has been favored by some people with ill intentions, if they can't get it from Li Longji, then they will turn to their own ideas, it seems that they want to pay attention to this matter, and they must make arrangements in advance.
